ui.. thursday!

hahaha wala akong magawa... tsk panu ba yan, tatlong buwan pa kong mabubulok dito sa kalalaba. hmmm... sa saturday, gateway with barkada! wuhooo... sa wakas, makakalabas din ako, although i have to stick with window shopping kasi arcade, pagkain at pamasahe lang ang gagastusan ko. bwahahahaaa... i'm not yet insane to go into a major shopping galore in gateway. unless i get to be princess of brunei.

tomorrow is Chynna's birthday! ok! Happy Birthday! yeheesss, dalaga naaa!

ahahahaaa... believe it or not, i just read the Bible. now, that's new. i even took notes. that's newer. and i realized a lot of things. haha, yan newest.
nasa Genesis palang naman ako... it was enlightening reading the Bible. enlightening sa mga aspects irregardles of morality issues. ayoko kasi maging super conservative. ever since i took a semester off to chill at home, i found it necessary to get closer to God. ngayon ko lang sha napakinggan ng maigi. i don't want this to sound cheesy with my life changing testimonies so i won't delve into that any further.

whew. i realized na dalawa pala ang puno sa gitna ng Eden. the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. both are forbidded for man to eat. unfortunately nga diba, kumain si Adan at Eba sa Puno ng Karunungan ng Tama at Mali and hereditarily speaking we now possess Knowledge of Good and Evil... thus, the gift of descernment.

After getting banished from the garden, God sent out Cherubims with flaming swords to guard the remaining tree untouched by men, the Tree of Life. So, imagine if the serpent duped Eve to eat on the Tree of Life instead? Lahat tayo immortal!!! hmmm... now think about it.

sa Genesis din natin makikita na talagang superior ang men over women. having Eve banished from Eden explains why childbearing is painful. kaparusahan nya iyon sa pagsuway kay Lord. And man was cursed to toil over the ground for food. si Adan ang nagpangalan kay Eba.

the great flood happened because God got angry that his men are abusing the tradition of faithful marriage. marrying one woman after another and another and another. it wasn't clear kung ang tinutukoy dito ay angel-man relationship pero in the later verses binanggit na ang mga offspring nila ay mga extraordinary people. yung tipong higante, mala hercules ang lakas and blah...

bago magpalabas si Noah ng dove, nagpalabas muna suya ng Raven. and in fact, mas mahirap yung ginawa ng raven kumpara sa dove, kasi pinalipad sya ng pinalipad, pabalik balik hanggang mag dry up yung land. at malamang lamang, nung napagod na sya tsaka na pinalabas yung Dove, na nagbalik ng olive leaf kay noah, pero after nun iniwan na rin sha nung dove at di na bumalik.

after the flood, God made a covenant to Noah never to destroy the whole Earth and his creatures again. He also promised that no flood will ever again destroy the whole world. implication na kung magugunaw man ang mundo, it's definitely not out of water. e diba scary yun? panu kung fire? wind? earth?
the Rainbow - serves as a sign to this covenant. now that's explains it.

i'm thinking, maybe there's no END OF THE WORLD. it doesn't exist kasi nagpromise si Lord. if people think that the 2nd coming of Christ will be the destruction of humankind, they're wrong. according to Revelations, when Jesus comes back, he will take with him those who stayed faithful to him to heaven. and yung mga hindi, maiiwan dito sa earth under the reign of Satan for a whole lot of millenuims. when i reach revelations ma-eexplain ko na to pero dear, genesis muna ha. =)

eto naman ang na isip kong reason kung bakit iba iba ang language ng mga tao sa iba't ibang regions ng mundo.
the tower of babel
during this time, men share a common speech. they tried to built a city with a brick tower in it that would reach the heavens so that they can make a name for themselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth. nagalit si Lord, abot langit na tore? heh! kung ito ang dulot ng pagkakaroon nila ng isang similar language, then i might as well confuse their tongues.
indeed, dahil kinonfuse ni Lord and kanilang language, hindi na sila nagkaintindihan. di nabuo ang city at ang tower at nag sama sama ang lahat ng magkakapareho ang language and nagsikalat sa buong mundo!!

ahahahaaa... i think i should go back to sunday school once again. i missed a hell lot.
eheheheee... ^^;

a good ten step slip

there are many ways to describe a girl who just fell on a flight of stairs. a few would laugh at it and blame it on their stupid selves for wearing slippery slippers. some would stay numb for a while, then burst in a wail complaining they broke a nail. most would definitely stay motionless for a long time and later on people will realize she just hit her head on one pointy corner of the step and passed out, with blood oozing out of her head, they rush her to the hospital and then they will discover that she's also borken a rib or two.

i'm part of the few though. i laughed a while, then i cried too. it damn hurts like hell. i'm so lucky i didn't break a rib or a nail or even hit my head on one pointy corner of the step and passed out. i'm just so damn lucky that i only got a palm sized dull violet bruise on my right thigh with several lines messily sketched on it, a couple of stray bruises on the other parts of my right thigh, and a cramp on my right hand. i was thankful for the cramp for if i didn't stick my hand upright on the floor, i wouldn't have banged my sad excuse for a head on one pointy corner of the step and passed out. i still consider my self lucky.

some wouldn't surive such a fall. blame it on the stairs, it was steep and it has no banister.
after that, as i was wrapping an ice pack on my swollen thigh, i realized how hard it is for stuntmen to fake a fall on the stairs. i would always badmouth someone i see on TV who got pushed by the villain on the stairs because as i see it, it didn't seem too severe i thought they were just overacting it with the bloody sprawled-on-the-ground scene. but i was wrong, so wrong. sorry. lesson learned.

mom is preparing a big meal for 8 guests today. but it turns out that only 4 can come. hahahahaa. at least we get to eat their share. they just missed one important part of their starving lives.

i thought cleaning the bathroom would solve my spider problems. but no, just yesterday after our mini bible study, i saw an eight legged freak flaunting it's skinny glory on my picture! my graduation piture on the wall! what a demise. was that a sign or something? gee, good thing daddy killed it before it jumped to my sister's grad pic instead.

vash stampede

it's a sunday, hooray! it's our church's 18th anniversary and all of us is celebrating. i presume we came in earlier than usual but we still ran out of chairs. it's ok though, we didn't end up standing anyway. we had a guest speaker today and i like him. he's a former cheif of police and bounty hunter (yeah!) in california. his voice was a little rash and he sounds like he has asthma, always running out of breath. but i understand, it's hard chasing after fugitives but at the same time it's cool to be a bounty hunter (yeah!). I remember trigun, my favorite police related anime because of the action, the character design and the alias - Vash Stampede.

then we went to ever to buy some grocery stuff. i love nachos with salsa. if i only know where to buy cilantro leaves then i would probably be doing a homemade one. but nooooo, have to stick with commercialized products.

weeeee, got my registration form already. classes starts at novemer 13! ira's birthday (i guess hehe)! that's 3 days before my birthday too! sadly, i don't think i'm going to enjoy my PE with a permanently injured leg. it doesn't hurt but the friggin meniscal tear is still there and it won't go away so i have to take cautious measures for a lifetime. how unfortunate, i would love to play tennis or softball, karate or arnis... but i have to stick with walking for fitness, hula/tahitian (cool!), table tennis (err?) and probably CHESS. basta no legs required. my goodness, i don't want to be seen walkin around the campus with a chess board. it's too dorky. but i'm really a dork remember? and i won a medal in chess. it doesn't hurt to play it again. besides, it's a strategic game. wahehehehee...

checking up on reviews

i'm currently reading user reviews of creative muvo txfm (256 mb) mp3 player. i was thinking of buying it since it's compact and handy. but mehn, i'm too confused. some reviewers say it easily dysfunctions after 4 months. some also say that it's better than the ipod in terms of sound quality.

ok, now what? most of its pros goes to its being gym handy since it's really small and the package includes an armband. on the other hand, most of its cons goes to short term functionality. so generally, it's not the best for me since i'm not a gym buff and i like my player to work for a long time. but then, i'm keying for the recorder. i want to have a recorder. but not a separate one.

in the end i still think i'm going to buy this. but not anytime soon since i'm still saving for a canon powershot. =)

had the Bible of my dreams at last. it's actually an old NIV one that we got refurbished so now it looks better. daddy gave it to me and he also included a dedication (after a lot of demands). i'm excited to use it! hihi, and i also provided a notebook for it so that i can jot notes and study the Word. yehey.

i consumed 3 cups of mocha ice cream awhile ago and i feel faaaaaatt right now, even after exercising. bad. but i have a better idea, i once wrote here that i dream of having my own franchise of starbucks in the future but it would cost me a biiiigggg fortune that i could never save even if i started now. maybeeee, i'll just get myself a franchise of Ice Cream Corner! it should be cheaper! plus their ice cream is great and affordable, not to mention tastes just like (or even better than) consumer favorites nestle and selecta on a cheaaapper price! i just have to look for the perfect location. yehey for a new goal. hehehe

i have a new favorite radio station! 98.7 DZFE. why? because it plays classical music. before it was 101.9 because of the hits, as all radio stations are, but then i don't like all of the songs so i keep on presetting the tuner. 98.7 is a long time stop i could listen to it for an hour straight and not change the station. yeah, of course you won't agree. most of you don't fancy classical music like i do.

sidebar update!

i just added 'verse of the day' right below my profile. hihi. love it. at least whenever i visit my site i'll have something to ponder. i was actually thinking of just putting a 'word of the day' to enhance my vocabs but i thought i wouldn't be too diligent with remembering it. a bible verse works better, and personally it's easier for me to stick a thought in my mind rather than a word.

everything becomes beautiful when you are doomed

really now? okay, i won't argue with the title because achilles said that. swwwoooooonnnnssss.
i'm hopeless, i don't think i could ever stop myself from biting my nails. apparently they've gone a deal shorter, again, due to my monster habit of biting them. so i'm a monster now, and monsters don't usually explain themselves. so i'll leave it there.

i'm excited to go to school, yeah that's rare. hello? if you were quarantined for five months without anything new to learn aside from the stuff you get in tv, wouldn't you yearn to go to school, learn new and probably confusing things, earn new friends and coleagues, and meet people who are just as confused with the lessons?
i'm being a dork here. ngork ngork.

heyhey. last august 21, i just finished conceptualizing my magazine. oh yeah, it's time to make good use of my time. i've done a couple of articles already and hey, i got my own staff. my own writing team. my own layout artist. and they're all great. wanna know them? no, i won't spill them all. i like the name of my opinions writer, an italian named mr. dano ponioni... that's why i hired him. and they're all gonna work for me without charge. that's sooo kind.
we're kinda rushing it so that we'll set it debut release this september. watch out for Oh! Blimey magazine. =)

yeah yeah, a dork's gotta do what a dork's gotta do.
do you want me to feature anything in particular? we'll get you credited for it. and my feature writer Rese Tufa will take care of the details.

haha. did you actually believe that i'm putting up my own magazine? and with an italian writer?
well, you should. it's a low-budget one so i don't think most of you will see a copy of it anywhere.

jeeez.

what if you had a universal remote... that controlled your universe?

i feel so blessed! i don't know why, it's not often that i feel extra happy during sundays especially when there are piles of stinking dishware to wash and a basketful of stinking laundry to clean. but then, i'm enjoying life. ever since i knew that i'm actually destined to face college life anytime soon. there's nothing incredibly great to look forward to college, especially when you know it's another series of unfortunate events or grades (in my case, maybe yours too) that you have to face for the next miserable four (more or less) years. and mehn, i have to deal with it for five years.

heh. i just killed a mosquito with a super clap.

yeah, so what if i have a universal remote that controlled my universe?

we watched click last night. it was a pretty hasty decision of going to the mall that night but we enjoyed it. at least i did because i chose the movie and i can't afford to miss an adam sandler. golly, mom wouldn't allow me and my sister to go alone so she called ate theresa to be our chaperone. chaperone. chaperone. mehn, we're not kids anymore, maybe my sister is (hehe), but i'm not!! i almost felt guilty for it. ate theresa and i used our free complimentary ticket from last time and my sister used my reward card to get P10 off the ticket price.

they say it's comedy but i think i cried more than i laughed. seriously. hehehe...

i'm inspired to paint on tissue canvass! i guess i'll do it later when i see a scrap illustration board. i watched this documentary, Art From Fallen Leaves from japan video topics in IBC and i was super amazed. you should watch it.

weeee... gotta paint! gotta paint!!!
