twilight

watch the official teaser trailer HERE

terai says it's nice. yeah, i guess so, i appreciate anything that has vampires struggling under human emotions in it. so you see, it pictures the usual vampire clique i often see in fanfics (i feel like all the possible movie plots have already been writen as fics), a vampire falling in love with the human.

one of the things that (majorly) caught me in it is the participation of Robert Pattinson as lead male character. if it sounds familiar, he actually played Cedric Diggory in the 4th movie installment of Harry Potter.

there you go. feast your eyes on him. not much promotional pics right now because the movie's still a good 7 months till its premiere, and who knows when it's going to be aired in the Philippines? if i'm not mistaken it's going to be aired at the same season as our metro manila film festival so that's gonna suck. T___T; promised date is december 18th, but given OUR circumstance, i guess i could wait no longer that january 2009. better be good or else.


coach bruno texted me awhile ago... about Good Omens. i'm actually thankful he texted, at least i felt this obligatory sense to finish the book already. it's been months since he lent the book to me and what can i say, i was amused by it really but it's not entirely something that goot me hooked. i just love the ways it's written. so finally, after finishing the remaining 30 pages or so (imagine, 30 pages na lang di ko pa tinapos! haha), i finally finished the book. aaah, finally. at least i can say his efforts in sharing it to me wasn't put in vain. :)

i also finished watching the dvd of Lovers! mymymy, the ending was a cliffhanger!! well it pretty concluded well naman, it's just that maybe i'm looking for more surprises?

h'bout a sequel? starring Lee Han (Jared's* sidekick) and his 'girlfriend' (Jackie's* sidekick as well)???? that'd sound cool, especially that i think that pair is cuter and funnier. :) and they can call it 'I Married a Gangster' or something... nicer... hehehe

----------
* - sorry, i'm calling them by their english names since that's how they dubbed it here in the philippines. Jared's the lead guy, Jackie's the lead girl. :)

bringing back the new freshman scent

i checked the empty bottle of my very first college perfume, white musk from body shop. i remember searching for that musky smell ever since larz introduced it to me back in 2nd yr highschool, and it's only two years ago that i was able to find it. i shelled out like, 1300 bucks just to get that enthralling scent! it's my favorite scent! and now, i want to bring it back. perhaps purchase the cologne version hehe at least it's slightly cheaper than the frkn eu de toilet. :) grabe, i reminisced a lot when the scent coursed through my nerves. hahaha

i wanna bring back my NF (new freshman) days because it's probably the most decent among the 3 semesters i stayed in the university. :)
so yeah, haha gotta earn money for that. >____>;;

hekhekhek! LOVERS!!!! haha kinikilig na ako!! wahaha, ok... gwapo na si Jared sa paningin ko! at lalong gumwapo si Christian nung nakikipagsuntukan na sha hahahaha :D ang astig talaga ng mga lalaking marunong makiramble... at nananalo! hahaha

HPDM forever ♥

you can't stop me with this! i just finished reading an in-progress fic from ffnet (which hasn't been updated since 2004 - pretty much like mine! haha) and i'm really touched. hahahaha i just came across it accidentally because a reader dropped me a review saying that one of my fics sounds like another fic by this certain author. and so i went to the page of the author and saw that, bloody indeed, we almost have the same summary. T___T;

i couldn't have taken into account what she's not-accusing me of, but i'm not guilty whatsoever. the similarities may be there, but i didn't copy it. i swear. :) so anyway, that author was great, all of her fics are great. the one someone thought i copied has garnered 1,000+ reviews for 11 chapters already! and mine's only got 200 reviews for 11 chaps (the last one being a thank you chapter). she's really really great, so i was compelled to see her fics, one of which is a dazzling (but a frkn cliffhanger) tale of Harry being a journalist who wants to get a scoop from Malfoy. :)

it's been months since i decided i would read fics. most of the compositions i see now lack 'something'.. yknow, some factor i've included in my own standards of fanfics worth-reading. and i'm quite disappointed i had to go through the archives to get a good one. >____>;

i wanna write, but i want to make sure my grammar is fixed before i go publishing crapwork. it always boils down to my inadequate knowledge of grammar. wtf. and if i wanted to write for real, like burn my ass over unupdated fics, i should have a LAPTOP already! and a lot of free time, coffee and good grades to compensate.

but since i haven't got any of those. imma stick to fixin my friggin life instead and act like a 'student', for once.

HAPPY 1,000th ENTRY TO ME!!!

wow! imagine! i've made a thousand entries already! mygaaaah, i could turn this into a book na! there's enough stories told anyway. wahahaha

i'm really happy this day.
not because of this entry but because of something else. ♥ my crush texted me! so it's still valid, you know, after all... i thought i'm done crushing over him when scool ended but then, when i checked my phone awhile ago and saw his name on my inbox... my heart leapt instantly! parang pinagtaksilan ako ng puso ko, hahaha ang utak nga naman o, might outwit you for a while pero given the right stimuli, the heart will prevail parin (wth am i talking about!). grabe, i'm learning a lot ha. ang dami pa lang totoo sa mga clique! lol

grabe! define instant! pangalan pa lang nya yun ha, haven't read the message yet. i'ver never felt my heart thump like that in months, lol. just to see his name in my inbox is already enough cos i know the message isn't personal anyway. pero alam nyo yun? it's something that doesn't happen everyday! really unexpected. and i sort of lost my composure pa, gosh, took me a few minutes to recover. hindi ako maka-concentrate sa pinapanuod ko (dvd of Lovers). omaygaaa....hahaha


i cherish unexpected messages from unexpected people a lot. kaya kayo rin! when i send you messages (refers to people in my phonebook), cherish it! especially quotes cos i never go unli just to send quotes... usually when a message cracks me up, i forward it to only a few people (para hindi sayang, ako lang tumawa eh haha)... and i don't have distribution lists pa so special talaga! i pick my receipients one by one! the hassle, pare! kaya nga i hardly forward anything hahahaha.

siguro when i change my phone, i'll utilize the distribution lists feature to the max! e kasi naman, it's so hard to pick people one by one! and i don't have that feature (like in nokia) na when you type the name in the phonebook, the contact will appear! ako, todo scroll! super hirap pa kasi when i want to send to ate ganito, i have to go through a lot of ate's (mga sis) haha, same goes when i want to send something to kuya ganito, ang dami ring kuya (mga brods naman). haay ewan.

ok, so napapalayo nanaman ako.
wala naman talagang topic eh. hahaha

oo nga naman...

last night was so enlightening. the three of us (mommy-daddy-me, terai's at elbi) did a short bible study. ok, read read, pray pray, history 101... blahblahblah...then i sort of opened up to them about not having a peace of mind. i asked them if they do, and they said yes and i was surprised because everything seems to be going wayward and yet they can sleep peacefully at night. the opposite goes for me though, they were surprised to know that i'm actually not at peace even though my face tells otherwise. i told them that everytime i go to sleep, i feel depressed... sad, drained of all hopes that would uplift my mood... and it all boils down to my course.

ohmygaaaah! supposedly magt-third-year na ko, but i'm still prying my way to sophomore year. i've already spent (or wasted) one and a half years in college not knowing what i really like... blinded by the options of transferring and taking fine arts instead but never really got my hands on it.

kaya naman i want to make sure i won't change my mind when first sem comes. it's hard to accept things you thought was not in God's will. kasi everytime i feel bad, i refer to the quote which says something like 'no matter how hard your decision is for the day, as long as you can sleep well at night, you did the right choice...' ganun. so i thought, since i was feeling so down about pursuing my course, then maybe this isn't the right one for me. this isn't God's will, per se.

but last night, i realized something really important.... and it's that, God's will doesn't always have to feel good. whatever happens to your life is God's will. whether you think otherwise. the problem is, everything has been happening in accordance to his 'plan' but human nature always gets in the way of thinking we know better than to stick to his ways. that's why we tend to think 'this isn't right', because we do not accept what God has laid down for us.

iniisip ko nga, if i was right all this time about Fine Arts being God's will, then why isn't it happening? why am i still here? of all the options laid down, why do i still refrain from moving out?

e kasi nga, perhaps...this is where God wants me to be and i didn't accept it first hand because my mind speaks of other things, kaya ako nahihirapan. life is a matter of choice and acceptance, whatever i chose, i have to accept... if not, then i'll end up blaming myself for thinking that i did the wrong choice but the truth is, hardly anyone makes the wrong choice... they just lack acceptance to whatever their hearts tell them. accidents are part of God's will, it's not a choice but it's bound to happen anyway. people who refuse to accept the tragedy eventually ruins his life blaming everyone else, those who accept get the privilege of learning and growing up. something that doesn't happen everyday.

you know, i read something insightful in Good Omens. in the end there's going to be a war and the point is not to avoid it from happening, but to win it.

came from an angel himself...
oh yeah, that's a good one.

sinong lasing?

karlitaaaaaa!!! i can't believe you posted it on youtube! anyway, she can do whatever she wants with it! it's her cam, it's her vid... it's our 'walang tulugang' slumber party home vid!!! hahahaha

OREWA DURANKU JANAI!!!
lolololol

i guess michi's the one who's really drunk. i mean, everything's a joke. who gets drunk with a vodka? it's a freakin ladies' drink haha! nobody gets drunk with it, i've never been drunk with it (nor with anything else). it's a funny funny vid that only a few people could get. obviously those who know us. ahahaha

i won't share the link! bwahaha

OUR MAID LEFT US NAAAAA!

which means i have to do the 'house chores'.
man, i hate being told about to clean and wash the dishes... grrr. i hate maidwork. but actually, there's a fulfiliing part once i get my hands over it, something like... i wanna do good to impress my parents and show them i can get married already and be a good wife to my husband and a good mother to my kids.

you know, that junk.

but then, i'm enjoying washing the dishes, wiping the table, throwing the trash outside... it's just that i enjoy it more when i'm not being told. but apparently, i haven't still fully 'nurtured' that motherly instinct (or housewife initiative) that mom's been meaning to pass as an heirloom.

haha.

haaaay, after all. i think imma stick to blogger forever. ♥

yeah, after aaaaaaall the blsht i went through befriending WP, it's still being hostile. i'm no beginner when it comes to blogging (tho something's telling me that 4 years with almost no traffic at all is not impressive), i've learned enough html/css/xml to last me until now!

so maybe, i'm too stupid, too below average for wordpress. the thing is, i'm trying to slam everything this blog has to my WP account immediately without familiarizing myself enough with its nooks and crannies first. i have no patience to learn the basics of WP because i have this air of arrogance in me that wants to uphold my being an advanced user in blogger. but they're not the same... definitely, and it'll probably take time for me to fully utilize it's super functions.

dmmt i want those plugins! yun lang yun eh! and the static pages too! oh it's so ugly looking at my links and archives pages with the date stamp on it! it looks like a big excuse to get a static page.

roight.

what the geek!

i'm having a hard time starting at wordpress... i'm slightly experimenting you know, in the process downloading the wordpress 2.5 platform... there's an instructions guide alright but wdh it's not exactly proving to be an easy job! i'm locating the CSS editor in hopes of landing on familiar territory but what it see is a useless field of information. i'm having a hard time really, but i'm still keen on getting my hook on this.

what's the downloadable platform for anyway?
the only thing i want to do is to CUSTOMIZE my template similar to this blog's current design so that i can finally MOVE.
