F L O O D

This post is entitled as such because I sooooo want to flood this with a lot of stories. I have been so delayed already because of schoolwork and my very unfriendly pc at home. OK. So I'll try to recall most of the stuff I've been dying to write for so long...

FUNERARIA ESCAPADES

Last Thursday, Jackie, Kaymee and I went to Funeraria Dulce for our CONCEPT report. There we had to hunt Kaymee's Tito Tony who unfortunately succeeded in thwarting our ambush interview. He was however, kind enough to let us get a full tour of the place. In our tour we got to see the Kabaong Showroom. Yup a showroom. At wag ka, magagara ang mga casket dito. Karamihan, imported from the US pa. haha. The priciest was around 300K ata. grabe!... We also got to see th preparation room A.K.A. the embalming room. SPOOKY dito friends. This is where they embalm corpses. Dito din nila, pinapaganda at pinapapogi para ayos ang itsura sa loob ng coffin. Waaaah. May make-up, hair gel, accessories and everythang. The works pare. And the best part was... mya body na nandun! Nyaaah. Kala namin, vacant lahat ng tables but no. Dun sa dulo ng room eh may body na covered in a kumot. Yikes! Gusto pa nga nung isang manong na alisin yung kumot para pichuran ko daw. NO WAY DUDE! yaw ko po mamii. hehehe. Tas pilyo pa yung isang kuya kasi dun naman sa labas, binuksan niya yung isang casket na may baby sa loob. WAAAAAHHH. ayoko po pichuran pleassseeeee! hehe. UBER FUN experience talaga. Scary yes, but fun. If you wanna see picture, see my multiply. (yanyanpage.multiply.com)

The next day, we had to sleepover at Jackie's to finish our presentation. The topic defense was the the day after that na kasi. Nung kinagabihan, thank the Lord at pumayag si Kuya Art na magpainterview. Siya yung anak ni Tito Tony(na tumakas samin.hehe). Thank you Kuya Art! Antagal ng chikahan namin sa phone. He told us everything about his dad and their business. AT syempre, memorable din ang conversation na toh. Akalain mo ba namang kapangalan ko ang anak ni Kuya Art na nasa Canada na ngayon? Ariane Lee ang name ng 6-year old girl niya. Namimiss n nga daw niya yun eh. Awwww... x_x

Siyempre nagpuyat kami kina Jackie at ayun, at one point, nakatulog ako sa sofa nila. Funny lang kasi hindi ako magising nina Kaymee (ang hihinhin kasi.hehe). Ang kulit ko daw, dumidilat bigla tas natutulog ulit. Once again, napatunayan ko na namang antok lang ang nagpapalasing sakin. hehehe.

Btw, sarap sarap kina Jackie. ^_^ Mabilis ang net, comfy matulog at higit sa lahat, masarap ang food! Apir Kaymee! :P

Saturday came and we had to defend our topic. Everything went well! YEAY! :) I was dressed up as DEATH complete with my scythe and Cloak(yay again for Ruth's Gryffendor Cloak).
Kaymee was my victim, and Jackie was the pretty dead person thanks to the Funeraria's magic. hehehe. Nice one gurls! Drop dead gorgeous! :P

SORE EYES

Last Friday I thought I had sore eyes. Thank God hindi natuloy. The next day, Jem had sore eyes! Funny pa kasi siya yung kasusap ko nung Friday at i was complaining about my eyes. hehehe. yun lang.

BYE BYE BEA!

Lumipat na sina Bea ng bahay. :( Bea is my inaanak. She was this cute bald baby girl that rented the room beside our house. Aww. They left Monday. Sad kasi before I left the house that afternoon, I even played with her pa. Tapos when I got back at night, wala na pala sila. Di ko man lang nalaman. BOOHOOO! Siguro naman she'll visit me during Christmas diba? Ninang ako db? hehehe.

Kung kelan naman, close na kami at di niya siya snobbish, dun pa sila umalis. :'(

CJ, CHOCHOY AND ALEX

These kids are so adorable. Last Monday, binonding namin ni Jave tong tatlo. Grabe. Andami kong narealize that day. I especially admire CJ because she is very independent and mature already even if she's just in 1st Yr Highschool.. Isa kang mabait na ate at anak. :) Oh, and I really don't like bunso kids if they're spoiled. hihi. :P Pero I love Alex ha.

RX

Nung Wednesday, Niko and I went to RX93.1 para mag-audition for Radio One. Student DJs ekek. hehehe. AYUN. Go figure. :P Nakakapagod magcommute pare. Pramis. Hehehe. Idagdag pa natin na medyo masama na ang pakiramdam ko that day to begin with. Nyay.. Pero the audition went well naman. I didn't find it hard at all. Pero syempre. Goodluck lng talaga. Ayun. Tapos tumambay lng kmi sa radio booth. Bait kc ni DJ Jude sumthin.. hehe. There we met Rico Robles and Gelli. They were nice people. hehe. First time ko makanood ng people live on air. In fairness binati nila kami over the radio.. haha. Kaso lang, I got bored kaya umalis din kami agad. hehe. We met up with Jem Ang sa may street kc she was just a building away. Tapos Niko and I went exploring! I wanted to go to St.Francis Square coz I've never been there before. Ayun! Bling2x shopping na! hehehe. Bumili ako ng earrings (30php) at ng necklace. yehey! I have been craving for a necklace for so long na kasi.hehe. I got a huge discount pa thanks to my pa-cuteness. haha.. 200 became 150! yahoo! :P Tapos we went to Megamall. Lakad lakad lakad. . . . Then we went to Krispy Kreme kasi I've never been there too. Umalis kami kasi naisip naming mahal siya.haha. Pero bumalik din after some convincing. hehehe. And guess what. They gave me a free donut! YEHEY!!! I was so happy! :) Actually, we got three donuts for the price of one. c00lness. Yummy yummy joy joy! :D Yung sa RX? Wala lng. yaan mo na. Even if I don't get accepted, at least the experience was enough for me. Tsaka, my boredom for the day was solved. hahaha. :P

EMO DAY

Takte, nasa bus ako kahapon papuntang skul tas bigla akong naiyak. Shet. Dahil siguro dun sa palabs na movie sa bus, or maybe dahil sa sipon ko, or maybe dahil sa I don't know and I don't want to think about reasons. hahahaha...

Kinagabihan, ayun! EMO ATTACK Na!! Woohooo.. x_x

Blimey!

Just a while ago, team Gryffenclaw (Gryffindor + Ravenclaw) performed our version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in class, for our Potter Project in LITELEC. It was wicked! hehehe.

I really enjoyed it. I love being the lights person because I got to stand back and watch everything. I also love being a death eater because I've always been part evil. haha. I also love watching my groupmates perform and execute their acting which I have tediously taken a part of. I loo00000oove being a director (or acting director whatever! :P). I also love wearing the Gryffindor robe I borrowed from Ruth plus the wand that my groupmate made. I soooo000oo want to have magic! :)

Ayun. To top everything, I just want to reiterate that I lo0000OOOoooovvee Harry Potter, the wizarding world and magic! Forever na yan! Promise. And when I have kids, I will make sure that they love it too.
Hihihi.

***

I also love the fact that I wasn't the person-in-charge for the project. I mean, I played a big part too, but it's really nice to not have the pressure for once. Having dependable and worthy people above you is a reassuring feeling. Being the leader for most of the time gets tiring too you know. hehe. Annie and Kitkat, kudos to you guys! :)

***

Yesterday, I told a friend that I wanted an Englishman for a husband. WahahahahA! Even if it's not literally. English/British in the sense na he's a gentleman with manners at elegant at mabait at tama ang grammar(wahahaha) at maayos magdala ng sarili etc etc etc. . . . . I want to be swept off my feet! Naks! Wahahaha. Effect siguro toh nung mga DVD na pinanuod ko this weekend. hahaha. Sumakit tuloy ulo ko kahapon. Find me a duke or sumthin! harharhar! :P

Sometimes, I wonder at my own craziness. :D

Let's be Bri*ish! haha

soak up the rain

i am usually a sunny person. i mean, i like the sun. i love sunny days. they make me happy. and usually, i hate it when it rains. but today, as i was riding the bus to school, i suddenly realized something. it was dark and gloomy outside but i felt good.

the cold actually felt nice and comfy. i wasn't at all disturbed by the absence of my happy sunny day. i guess, now it's safe to say that i have grown. i have changed. funny that last night, i have finally decided to let go. i kinda relate it to having to let go of harry potter when i finished the last book. of course, it would still be my first love and i will return to it at times for refuge and reminiscence's sake. but we just have to accept that most things in this life end. here i say MOST because i am still an idealistic child. there are some things that will remain forever. anyway... when you feel sad, it's okay to feel sad. when you're mad, go ahead and break something. it doesn't do well to repress your feelings. it won't do you any good and might even lead to a heart attack someday. but once you get tired of being down and hurt, you just have to stop and think. you have to analyze the things you want for yourself, how you want your life to be. would you want to be stuck in limbo forever? i don't think so.

the first important thing to be happy is to acknowledge the source of sadness. then decide for yourself that you don't want that anymore. then make a stand. you say it to yourself out loud. i know i had a difficult time doing that. i've been wanting to say it for ages, but somehow, i wasn't able to. it takes courage you see. lots and lots of courage and determination. say it to yourself "i want to let go" and then, just like a spell, it kinda envelopes you in a different kind of light. and your mind(and heart) seems to shift a little inside. you said it at last. i'm so proud of me. good girl. :)

i shed tears along the way. man did i shed tears. but they were part of acknowledging the feelings i have mentioned earlier. crying is okay. it helps. but then, the tears last night were not as much as before. they were kinda destressing in fact. they helped me to realize. as i've said, i want to let go. i want to be happy now. i want to find my happiness too.

you go to sleep and all goes b l a n k.

you resist the necessity to wake up but you have to. it's so nice and comfy in my bed.


then in the morning, while riding the bus, you realize that the rain, the cold and the darkness, doesn't seem to bother you today. because you have moved on.

i'm not saying that i'm now a fan of days like this, i'm still sunny old me. but i'm quite happy for today.

open your eyes and smile. :)

the end.

i like this song

"Franklin"
by Paramore

And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time again
Go back we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

nice one!

Classes in the high school and college levels are called off for tomorrow. MalacaƱang oredered this to give time for the youth to register for the SK (Sangguniang Kabataan) elections. I have one clear comment for this. . . YEAH RIGHT!!!

hehehe.. nice one PGMA! Although I highly appreciate this move with all my heart (together with the idealism it entails), I don't think it's very wise. For all we know, kids will be flooding the malls tomorrow.

seeya there then! wahehe. ^_^

I couldn't help but feel sad when I found out that Michiko Yamamoto (writer of Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros and Magnifico) will be selling her soul to the devil and go mainstream. She is now part of Star Cinema and well. . . you know what it means. Hello to movies written for Sam Milby and Tony Gonzaga. Tsk tsk.. We can't blame Michiko though. We all need money to survive.

Value your life! Live it to the fullest. Never give up! Seek God.

behind the camera

Hindi madaling gumawa ng pelikula. Hindi madaling magsulat ng screenplay. Hindi madaling gumawa ng storyboard. Hindi madaling gumawa ng script breakdown. Hindi madaling mag-revise ng script. Hindi madaling maghanap ng location. Hindi madaling maghanap ng talents. Hindi madaling mag-direct. Hindi madaling mag-ilaw. Hindi madaling mag-crowd control ng isang damukal na batang makukulit. Hindi madaling magbilad sa arawan habang nagshu-shoot. Hindi madaling magpakabisa ng mga linya. Hindi madaling turuan umarte ang ilang tao. Hindi madaling magtrabaho ng may time pressure. . . . .etc etc etc

Hindi madaling mag-comm arts! Pero MASAYA. :)

baw!
