listening to: basingstoke assembly

for some reason, i like checking out on jackets, bags and shoes at the department store! :) but nothing beats windows shopping and catalogue collecting at the tech zone.
hey, i just bought a new jacket this morning hahahaha. nothing much, just a simple black knitted jacket. sucks, because the weather is getting better now.  hmp

my arms are pretty sore. as a labor of love, LOL, i massaged my parents last night. yeah, that's 15 mins back massage for my dad and 1 hr. upper body massage for my mom. really, i'm a pretty good daughter when i'm in the mood. and i also prepared our lunch today. because our maid is off, i cooked something simple, light and is not heavy on the sink... tortilla wraps! slicing bell peppers and onions is sooooo tiresome! but i'm proud, cos i was able to prepare 14 rolls... so we gave some to our neighbor. hehehe

red bell peppers cost almost 300 per kilo now in supermarkets. *dies*
i also saw something cute at the vegetable area awhile ago, a yellow bell pepper! yaaay! i was excited because red + green + yellow bell peppers in a tortilla wrap looks so awesomely colorful! haha and tasty too.

michi! i love you for pic spamming me with YUNJAE last night! see, because of her, i have dedicated an entire folder to yunjae pics specifically!
i wanna go to your house! mooooaaar pics plzzzz! last night was the most kilig night i had since..err...since june...? heh

a date with karlita! :) tuesday, after lunch, sm north then trinoma! hello angels and demons at laaast!

last night i was trying to make a curriculum flowchart for my course but i gave up entirely because it's too taxing! -____-;; i'm not used to the one they gave me.

right now, i'm browsing on the uplb webpage and it has changed a lot! it's a lot better now! last time i think they were still using old school tables and div layers (i can tell because it's ugly) but now they've improved a lot especially on the aesthetic part. CEAT also has a new page. aba asenso!

kelangan talaga paabutin ng 100 years para maupdate ang layout? haha

soderling vs. federer on french open finals 2009

MUST WATCH!
but i dunno wheeeeere!! -___-;;

actually, i can only watch the french open telecast when i'm at the gym (cos they have cabled-tv), i don't even know the schedule but heck. wasn't really enthusiastic about it because all i hear is nadal here and federer there... they also seem to be the only games i see on tv. grrr. but when i saw a friend's status mentioning soderling, i was like "whut?!? robin soderling??? my favorite male tennis player?! *insert fangirl squeal*

ok, i will look for ways. i must watch it no matter whaaaaat!!!

the way of the fool

"Live in the present and trust in your own abilities - this is the way of the Fool." -- quoted from a facebook app result

maybe i've been living the way of the fool for quite a time now (mabye four years). i've been gambling on my future and maxing out my parents' money, not knowing what i really want to do in life. i live the present without regretting the past and relying on my own intuition. it's not the most practical thing to do. and it's also most characteristic of a fool.

hmm. sometimes, you never really get what you want, no matter how much you strain the universe to conspire for it. it's either you don't want it hard enough to move the gears propelling the universe's movement, or at worst, an immortal diety says you can't have it, period. the fool knows he won't always get what he wants, bringing him to take on a different path, to take risks exploring undiscovered pastures. a fool's life is full of gambles. he lives an undetermined future, plans on the spot with very little consideration of wasted elements. he doesn't know where he's headed, he only knows the path but not his destination.

that's a pretty exciting life. i personally prefer spontaniety. :) maybe i do look like a fool now.

-----------------
off topic. well at least, off the fool thing. hehe

you know one thing i want? i want a guy friend! or a guy bestfriend! i figured it would be entirely different to see things on a guy's point of view. the last last time i was able to talk to a guy seriously was two years ago with leonard. we would spend early dismissals together waiting for our next class and talking randomly about life and our plans. i want to relive those moments!

i wish i could also make a lot of friends now but that would be hard being the oldest girl in the class. and somehow, i think i'm losing my social skills. -__-;

seeeeeek

shet! the h1n1 virus is spreading so quickly! grabe there's already quite a number of cases in metro manila and now CALAMBA DOCTOR'S HOSPITAL has it?!?!?!? fffffuuuuck! -____-;; yes. i'm getting scared because I'M SICK too!!! though this is probably not a virus pero i'm still sick so i can't say for certain. lol

i wish i could rely on forwarded text messages, but they don't seem that credible! sana hindi totoo yung sa calamba.

this is certainly getting serious.
i mean, will this wipe out the planet earth?? LOL
disgusting. this is not how i want to see the world conquered. killing is not part of my plot for world domination. hmp

i read somewhere that the h1n1 case is already at its peak, meaning after we get over this... the next phase will be post peak, then eventually it will regress into a seaasonal epidemic or something. hehe that's good to hear.

hahaha
aynako, i've been thinking of this one person for 2 days now.

hey. last night, i dreamt about erika! i asked her if she's angry at me and she said, "yes! i'm angry at you for not keeping in touch for so many years!" and i apologized and said, "but heeey, i'm always online naman! i comment on your DA but you're ignoring me!" then, i apologized more and hugged her. then, we're ok! :D

support the farmers

reposted:

The farmers' hands seem to be irrelevant and insignificant to our careers, to our future. In fact, they seem to have little to do with us. They may look grubby and inconsequential, but these are the hands that feed our nation.

And they need our hands right now.

Friends, let us be bothered that by June 5, if the congress doesn't pass the amended Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program with Extension and Reform (CARPER/ HB4077), the whole CARP may be totally scrapped. These are bills that protect the Philippine farmers' basic rights, such as fair distribution and acquisition of tilled lands.

Of course, this bill is having a lot of difficulties as its beneficiaries are a social minority, while the ones who are tasked to pass and approve it include authorities who are land and hacienda owners.

Please. Let us take some minutes to all pray for the passing of this amended bill, that the Congress will not use the excuse of 'lack of time', to forever dismiss this matter.

And our farmers are certainly going through a whole lot, like:

  • Land debts
  • poverty
  • resettlement
  • landgrabbing, transforming their fields into industrialized structures
  • powerlessness
  • muted freedom of speech

It's evident that their frustrations aren't stemming from natural causes alone or agricultural problems as if those weren't enough.

Farmers from other countries also are not exempt. . (Just a few weeks ago, some 1500 farmers from India committed mass suicide due to unpaid debts by crop failure).

What can I do?

Pray.

Pass. To create awareness, to battle indifference. If this can be read by people involved in government, civil, legislative, agrarian sectors, the better.

Blog. Sign Petitions. Compose. Bake. Call. Build. Paint. Put it in facebook, YM. Join initiatives. Learn more about it. Because WE CAN.

after all, these are our neighbors, our brothers who are slighted, oppressed, lightly esteemed and abused.

eh?

wassup with ym! there's something wrong with me importing contacts. hmm... everytime i open y!m, the same contact requests are popping up. paulit-ulit ko na nga ina-approve eh pero they don't appear in my list. hmph.

hello hello.
