>_> my head hurts, danngit! >_> mehn. i almost hated this day! yesterday i asked mom for permission to go to MoA with terai and ate theresa this friday after terai's seminar and she said yes. and by yes, it means that it's ok for her if we arrive home during the wee hours of the night since we're leaving at 5pm and friday means traffic. but now she changed her mind. i guess she isn't really thinking right when she allowed me yesterday, not that i'm saying it's a wrong thing to allow us but heh, it equally pisses me off. >_>

really, i couldn't care much about MoA if it weren't for mike. haha, yeah he's the lucky bloke. i still want to see him. to check if he still remembers me (though i doubt it but i just want to make sure. wahaha) or if he'll still put a heart on my name. oh yeh, before you get something out of this... i just want to remind you that i don't like him like that. i like him like a friend. huuuh? go figure! and besides, his being a barista is one of the major reasons why i want to be friends with him. i could just imagine if he's someone from, say seattle's best or mocha blends, i guess i wouldn't even look out for him next time... but the thing is, he's from starbucks. my favorite coffee shop. my favorite logo. my favorite drink.

you see, before i got into this horrible situation that i'm in where i have to impose a military-like discipline on my own and ground myself on coffee... i am the biggest freak that i know. everytime i visit starbucks and purchase a drink, i get two pieces of tissue paper and also one of those brochures that are displayed behind the chorva counter (whatever that's called.. alam nyo na yun). just 1 though. hahaha because i'm embarrassed (sp?) to, you know, GET THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME. mehn dyahe. >_> and you know what i do with the tissue paper? the first tissue i use to hold the cup cos it's cold, and second... i fold it neatly and tuck it inside the brochure. yahahaha wattafreak. so you know, visit by visit, drink by drink, i managed to collect ALLLLL of the brochures displayed on that chorva counter. yaaah including the spark of hope donation slip. wahehehehehe. and i made sure they have their own tissue paper tucked in. what's that for? really, i don't know.

also, i already mentioned before that i collect cups as well. hehehe but only those that i can hide while going home. lol. i wouldn't want to be seen carrying empty sb plastic cups when i could just throw them away. yeah, i'm a freak but i'm also trying hard not to show it. ahahahahaha

anyhow, it's just a little collection of SB stuff that i've gathered. h'bout the planner? oh i don't have that. i drink a lot of coffee but i don't always drink at SB. come on, i also have my own box of instant coffee here at home and it's not like i'm gonna get a free planner with that. and besides, i don't feel like desecrating their planner with my unruly penmanship. err... i didn't mean that.

hmm... ohyeah back to the present. ok so no MoA tomorrow. hmph i even asked my sister if i could just buy the drink for her just so i could stand on that counter once again and chikiniyayatimanunggaasdfghjklqwertyuiop nevermind.

haaaaaaaayy.

a beautiful mind

writer's block! grrr... i keep on staring at the ms word file i made and nothing seems to spring out from my brain. so far i've only made 1 sentence. yeah, 1 superdanggit sentence and it looks like it's gonna take a long time before the 2 second sentence appears. grrr... everything has been planned out in my brain already! how harry and draco will meet, how the conflict will surface, how harry will struggle with his emotions... including the ending! i've already planned out the ending but i'm here... squeezing my brains out to translate these images into a comprehensible language. waaaahhhh!!!

so if you've noticed (only if you've been here before) i made a few, really minor, changes in this blog. yeah, that includes the rounded edges on the header image as well as the entry box. honestly, i had a hard time 'rounding-up' the edges of the image because... nyaah... i simply don't know how to use it in photoshop. >_> i had to fumble through it do be able to get the desired effect. though i'm not sure if this layout is well-parsed in your browsers cos i also edited the margins... i'm afraid it'll looked skrewed up in other computers. does it?

orayt! i need to get inspired!

new post :p

boring.
i can't wait for school to start over. oh don't get me wrong, it's all about the allowance. everytime i look over a display window and see something i want, there's only one line running through my head, 'i have to get my allowance already!'

allowance spells a lot of things for a college student living miles away from her parents. i'm excited to save, save and probably indulge on selfish little treats as well... like a cup of coffee. yeah, it wouldn't hurt a lot would it? nyaaaah. >_>

i can't help but feel envious of people who are celebrating their birthdays already. you know what, i feel so left behind when i open my multiply account and see tons and tons of albums containing 'happy 18th birthday ____' along with a sidepic that is usually vain. hehehe. >.< haaaay... to all my batchmates who are aleady 18... I ENVY YOU BIG TIME!!!!

let's leave that.
so uh, this morning my mom brought me to the hospital to get a flu shot. it's my first time to get it. well, nothing much.
oh, terai and i made ref cake awhile ago too. yeah right. boring. >_>

maybe when school comes i'll have more things to rant about... which i guess would either be a) a subject i'm failing or b) another crush
or maybe both.

chicken invaders

i'm finally done reading Avalon High. hmm... it was ok. at first i thought it would totally suck because as we all know it, there's an average girl, a jock and a cheerleader... characters who are never outcasted in a teen novel... but then i realized somewhere in the middle that it's not that bad for a chic-lit. actually it's like this, the story is just about regular and stereotypical teenagers who are believed to be (at least by some group of people) the modern day characters from the Legend on King Arthur. yeah, like reincarnations. hehe ok naman sya... but i think it's better off not as a chic-lit. eheheehe

anyhow.
that's it. not much for now...

(",)

i have a freakin mouthsore. make that two. no, three. and maybe even four cos i'm starting to feel another one bubbling out. mehn.

i have a new favorite book! no, not something from Meg Cabot... i'm not gonna fave a chic-lit from now on. hehehe...
it's a book by a very influential lay Catholic preacher... Bo Sanchez! it's called HOW TO BE REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY.

really, i was blessed after reading it. it's a very short book, a compilation of his best forewords from his magazine or whatever it is that you call the first article on Kerygma. it was all humorous and powerful and sensible and it hits you right on your err.. funny bone? naah. just that. it's a goooood read! it doesn't matter if you're not a Catholic (like me)... i highly recommend this book to all of you out there! Bo Sanchez is a really funny guy! he doesn't preach like the one you see in masses. when he preaches... it will seem like you're attending an inspirational seminar instead of a regular sunday homily. hehehe

okay.

the best thing that i learned from the book is this, God is a simple God! yeah! i wouldn't have realized it myself if he hadn't cited it out. God is simple. he isn't complicated. he can be understood. but we humans are just so fickle-minded that he even had to let down his son to deliver the message we're so dying to comprehend. and yet, we ignored! yeah, we're so stupid. really stupid. sorry Lord.

and you know what. we should always talk to God. yeah, casual talk. like a friend! he likes it a lot when we talk to him like he's our bestfriend... cos in the first place we're already his friend! right before we were conceived. and we only have to realize it.

i'm not cutting on tomatoes anymore. i realized that the roooot of the evilness forming withing my stomach lining can be traced from the way i take care of myself during summer classes. you know, i get dismissed by 1pm... in which nothing edible is being consumed in my stomach. i drink a lot of coffee... well just one cup/night but then during afternoons i drink a beer mug full of Milo. i can finish the whole 400g pack in a week. heh. and i hardly drink tap water, it's always cold cold cold. and well, i always sleep right after eating. >_> hehe i know the fault is all mine. @_@ so... hmmmm.

book of the dumb

currently reading: avalon high - meg cabot

it's been ages since i last read chic-lit. actually i just downloaded it as an ebook and i'm reading it now through ms reader. people say chic-lits, or generally teen novels, make you dumber. i say it improves your writing style but doesn't really enhance your vocabulary. for heavy plotted books, the style of writing is barely acknowledged because it gets burried under the towering highfaluting words and the plot can readily compensate for it. >_> however for chic-lits, given a shallow (and almost ridiculously annoying) plot, there's nothing more to look forward to than the style. and that's where teen novelists strive to excel.

personally, i like reading teen novels. yeah, i don't care how much it would drain me of my IQ... i like reading them because of the romance! yeah, i also don't care how much corny and cheesy the scene is as long as it's written nicely (with wit and sarcasm)... i will definitely like it. :)

i'm a big fan of geeky girls getting a major makeover and totally removing the blond cheerleader off the quarterback's sight. >_> but then it has become a big trend for chic-lits nowadays that i am already disgusted on the way authors play with that cliche. >_> that's why i only pick the authors i like and have tested to be both humorous and romantic. wahehehehe...

i'm getting dumber and dumber by the second...

anyhow. after i read Avalon High, i'll be downloading a couple more books online. i'd like to read something by Niel Gaiman although i'm having a hard time looking for downloads. i also want to reread All-American Girl by Meg Cabot. my favorittteeee teen novel! but apparently, i couldn't find any more of its old-school paperback edition that only costs 300. they've repacked the book! and it's around 400 pesos already. grrr... i hate spending a lot on just 1 thing. unless it's coffee (hey. i'm still grounded). >_>

oh, tomorrow must be great. yeah it should be! :D

even demons disguise themselves as angels

that was my latest doodle work. hehehe.

yesterday?

bwahahahahanyaaahahahahahaaaa...
ka, nez and i watched the movie Whisper, as in 'the devil has found a new playmate'
well, NOT REALLY. >_>
it was supposed to be horror but it didn't really scare me that much. hehehehe and it turned out to be a comedy pa...
maybe it really depends on your company...
because... no matter how scary the movie is, if you're with a crazy group of people you'd be spitting out fits of laughter instead of screaming your head off! nyahahaha...

oha ang saya namin e.

but before that we ate in pizza hut muna where we ordered CHEESYPOPS!! yeah, first time mehn! all hail those pullable pops!! hehehehe...

eto pa, wala namang nakasulat na 'please ring the bell if you had a good time'. wala, trip lang. nyahahaha
