[Preface/Author's note: It's been a long time since I've written an actual blog entry without it being all sad, angry, or just extremely pathetic. None of them will ever actually be called literature even if I wanted to make a new genre/mode of writing! After reading blog entries with complete sentences and actual prose and comparing them to my so-called postmodern poetry that doesn't make any *ing sense, I've decided to give writing actual entries with actual sense that actual people can actually understand. Maybe this is why my writing skills have declined to what it is now: a talent so boxed up that it can only write when it is graded. And that's sad. I choose to write for life, for memory, for love for the written word, for...me. And this sorry crap won't cut it in the future.]
I went out with Lyly today to school and I didn't understand why on earth we weren't getting caught by MMDA officers because her X-Trail was on color coding. Not that I was complaining...
I wish I could drive! Lyly's been so liberated with a car and free gas that I've been so envious of her. But I could never/would never drive alone--I'd be too lonely or wander off into my own world where Richard Rahl would be, waiting for Kahlan and I would be playing Kahlan, of course...then I'd hit a car by accident and it would be the hardest thing to describe to my parents. I would never be allowed to drive again. Plus people would probably end up using me even if they're not close enough to merit asking a favor like that. It would be an awkward car ride.
Speaking of awkward car rides, I've actually been in one recently. With my sister. She was really bitching on me for being extra baggage the other night. She wanted to eat dinner with her friends and she was asking what I would do while she did that. I said, "oh you should've told me! I could've gone with Pau..." and she had this really annoyed but guilty face. I just told her it was okay I could just stay there in the dorm and wait for her. Ang labo talaga niya.
Anyhoo, I've been watching the most romantic scenes of all time on YouTube, making me even more of a hopeless romantic. And, inasmuch as this is exciting and heartwarming, this is really insalubrious for my already deprived cardiac muscle. And for anyone else who might be following my footsteps. Why? It'll make you expect a lot, dearie. Maybe even too much for your own good.
It's like a VICE!! Looking at all these kittens!!!

Sister: But what will you do here?She left me there for around two hours. But it's better that way than having her hate on me the whole ride home. I've been holding a grudge for the past two days and that's unhealthy, I'd have to say. NO MORE FAVORS FROM ME (like lending cash and/or going with her places...although I did that just today or she'd bully me into it)! I'll get over it when I've gotten enough sleep again. I'm such a push-over.
Me: I don't know. Use the internet?
Sister: But where?
Me: Anywhere is fine
Sister: Ugh no it's okay I already canceled it
Me: *silence*
Sister: God talaga! I wanted to have dinner! Then you tell me I didn't tell you? Ugh! *hits wheel*
Me: *wonders how she could be so schizo in silence*
Sister: *blahblahblahblah* (sorry I kinda tuned it all out)
Me: *silence*
Sister: *pulls over in front of McDo* can't you just wait here or something? I'll come back for you after the dinner
Me: *sighs in relief, gets out of car and mutters* Thank God I'm out of that hellhole!

I want to be sure eh. I don't want to make this mistake. It will mess this wonderful thing up. And what is this wonderful thing?
... I can't explain that either. It just feels good somewhere in there. The part of me that I forgot existed (simply because it never got the chance to stand out, really).
Do i want this?? Is this what i want?

I don't want to one of those teenagers who act as if what they're feeling is real love and crap and they write such emo senti entries on their blogs. I hate it! It's like the world is ending and whatever but we all know that it'll pass eventually and there'll be another crush and another day and it's just all so overdramatic!!!
But I'm afraid it is a bit too late for that. My dumb poems and old blog entries about that sh*t cannot be erased (literally I mean it can but it doesn't mean it was never there... Who am I lying to? Hahaha). And here I am about to write another one in the form of a line from a song.
You're not a man, you're just a mannequin.
maybe she's right. Maybe my frustration is love. I'm not going to admit that though. It's an idiotic, irrational, immature concept. Especially since I'm still 17.

ok fine. i'm not supposed to say bad words anymore and i'm not supposed to be anything but Christian
I can't stop myself sometimes, because sometimes i don't think before i say anything. According to Freud, that's called the Id. Well that's the Id talking.
You know I don't always think before I act or think before I talk. I may seem like it, but really...no. I do spontaneous things too. I judge quickly (no that's not a good thing) but I take it back as I get to know someone.
Here's another thing people get wrong about me and I want to fix it right now: I'm happy. I'm seriously happy. It's not a case of lying to myself this time. I might be sad now and then or angry or be in a really irritated mood, but I'm happy with my life and how I ended up after high school. I'm happy to be me. I'm happy I'm going to Ateneo and I don't regret it. UP is a great school, but I'm owning my decision to be a Blue Eagle. I'm happy I'm not an anorexic b*tch but I'm happy to be conscious about my health. I'm happy to have only a few close friends rather than so many I can't even talk to without being on my guard. I'm happy I'm not perfect, or there would be nothing to think about. I'm happy I'm a Filipino in the Philippines and not an immigrant in another country that isn't of the same race. I'm happy to be saved.
Happy is different from contented. I won't say I'm completely the latter, but I'd say I'm good with being where I am, who I am, and who I'm with.
And thanks to all who acknowledge that.

I went out with Mills today. And actually yeah, it is pretty random that it happened. We went to the DWTL orientation first then ended up in glorietta to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2... hahaha.
I love Mills :) We seem like two very very VERY different people (we kind of are), but there's something ... that makes me 'click' with her... dunno. It's easier to talk to her than a lot of other people, definitely. Even some of the ones I hang out with. I don't think she expects as much from me as the others do.
I'm not talking about all my friends, so don't get paranoid, friends haha
i'm happy that these days i haven't been as sentimental as i usually am.
Kelsey by Metro Station
So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you're going next
You got your head pushed to my chest
and now you're hoping that someone let's you in
Well I sure'll let you in
You know I'll let you in
Oh kelsey, you
So don't let anyone scare you
You know that i'll protect you
Always now, through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don't cross it because
I'm always here for you
and i'll be here for you
i know how it feels believe me
i've been there and
i know what it feels like
tell me kelsey
And* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey
and* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey
Now it's going to get harder
and it's going to burn brighter
and it's going to feel tougher each and every day
so let me say that i love you
you're all i've ever wanted
all i've ever dreamed of to come
and yes you did come
i want you so bad (so bad)
can you feel it too? (it too)
you know i'm so, i'm so in love with you
i want you, so much
i need you, so much
i need your, i need your, your touch
and* i'll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh kelsey
and you never ever let me in
like that song. hahaha
I thank God.
If you, reader, have the time, read Romans 4 in the Bible.

- love God more
- read the Bible more
- NEVER WOULD HAVE SAID "YOUR HANDS ARE CLAMMY" dammit
- Never have given up piano/violin (maybe i would've quit anyway after hearing other gifted children...but still i would've been the least bit good)
- have started caring about my grades earlier on (I started only in high school), maybe things would've been easier :P
- continue jazz
- start swimming earlier
- keep practicing how to draw
- Read even more books
- Make more friends
- Be more confident about performing in front of people at an earlier age
- take kumon
- Be more 'sipsip' instead of 'pasaway' (earlier on)
- keep my old friends
- have been a better Christian at an earlier age
- Force my parents to continue our petition for the States (so by now I would be applying for the States without hesitation) which they canceled a long time ago (like 10 years ago)
- Be studying right now instead of being on the internet
- Still be me.

But i'm not sleeping.
I'm going through the old files on my computer, trying to clear up some space...sort of like electronic "spring cleaning" :P
I chanced upon a word document...my sister's. Her palancas from third year high school :)) oh man. Boy did she have a lot of 'suitors' (ngahaha). Seriously though. One wrote a beautiful poem for her...I'll post it (maybe I'm not allowed to, but whatever man it's my blog! hahaha):
Monday, June 14, 2004 Of julienne raboca by _______
Awww...isn't that nice? Where'd she meet such quality people?? :))
There are a lot more ha...she actually kept them :P it must've been pretty exciting to read such at what...15?? :)) to me, that seems like such a young age now... although i'm still 16. Loverboy seems to have taken my sister pretty seriously. I would consider that poem to be a classic, actually. I'd call it... fifteen. Go figure :D He describes a graceful, beautiful, enigmatic, secure lady instead of an awkward, insecure adolescent (the normal description of a 15-year-old).
Here I am, dissecting a poem written to my sister instead of gathering some of my own HAHAHA.
To be frank, I'm quite satisfied with my academic-and-church-centered life. I don't have to be like Yeni, "the perfect replica of heaven here on earth" to be a happy highschooler.
I just wish...my grades...would...reflect that (rofl). My ave. is a freaking 91 -_- for someone whose life revolves around school, that's pretteh bad :))
Oh to have a lover with such profound words and thoughts for me and only me!
Oh. here's an odd fact about that guy who wrote the poem: he's a debater. I don't know. I just find that hilarious...
@_@

you, the great confidant.
the robin to every batman,
the satellite to every planet.
you're a bright star shining behind the shadow of another.
a great spectacle of magnificence dying to be discovered.
a pandora's box of many great splendor.
an outburst of life's beauty and infinite euphoria.
a perfect replica of heaven down on earth.
your eyes that invite one to peer through your windows and into your soul of innocence and purity.
your voice as enticing as the song of nightingales.
lips that leave a tease to it's beholder for a chance to kiss.
a kiss that would kill; relieving one from all the bonds and burdens.
a great enigma it is that no one cares to notice.
that none dared to see through and beyond the lines and your flaws.
a brilliant dancer waltzing away alone with little people who dared to watch.
dancing the night away with every move your body makes that takes one's breath away.
a pleasurable torment for a thief who would steal your heart.
you can never be second to anyone.
you're in a league of your own; dominating every aspect;
a diva of many things.

but not with these scars on my arms.
it's a test.

I was a die hard Christian also in grade six
that was the last time she was this violent.
then i fell
and so did her scariness.

If I walked one extra mile for you, I would've liked you all over again.
And so I had to decline.
It took all my willpower to say to myself: "no, i won't do it. not for you, not ever again."
AND THANK GOD I DID.
The third time was the last, thank you very much.
and three time's a charm.
If i had done it, that would be the death of me.
Because you would leave me.
And I don't want to live that life.
I pat myself on the back.
Just this once, love lost is extra love gained for myself.

SPORTS = ENDORPHINES = HAPPINESS. I'll try to be more athletic from now on. Walking from Eliazo to Katipunan made me happy! And that's just walking...what's going to happen when I participate in more intense sports?
Review classes = I'm REALLY good at Biology??? Wow. There must have been something terribly wrong with my second year Biologyteacher or...I really don't know. I don't think I deserve a B+ in Bio then.
Studying for SATs time... I'm actually excited!
evil plan is in progress...but I don't feel at all evil :(
nice talking to ya :)

Yesterday I went to Taal Basilica with the UCM Fellowship Choir (Chancel choir + Other members of other churches) for the European Union anniversary celebration.
----and I DROVE for three hours----
I didn't know all the notes in alto...the girl beside me did. HEHE. So I tried to read the notes and listen to her at the same time. MIRAKULO!!! SANG IT RIGHT!! Oh man, if anyone I knew could've been there--It was BEAUTIFUL. SOOO beautiful. We had a string ensemble (actually, it was just a quartet) from UP and a portable PIPE organ. I don't know where we got the latter. ahaha. It was all thanks to Eudenice Palaruan, our choirmaster? conductor? LOOK HIM UP, if you don't know him. The girl beside me was my age, surprisingly O_O her name is Mezpo, from a church in Laguna, I think. She's really good, considering she only attended ONE rehearsal!
The best experience? Singing the Hallelujah Chorus and not knowing the alto line. I survived! I actually survived!! *phew* And it was still so beautiful *tear*...There was a videographer, but I don't know where I'll get that footage hahaha.
EVERYONE SHOULD TRY BEING IN A CHOIR.
Although it seems to be so much more professional if you join a church choir...and not just any church choir...one that sings the classics like Handel's Messiah, reads notes, and gets music straight from the hymnal. You'll learn a lot.

I'd be a lot closer Jim Sturgess than the Philippines =) hahahahaHenyway, if you guys have watched Across the Universe, you'd love him (not the movie. Hate the movie). He can sing :) You'd love him if you watched The Other Boleyn Girl too (he plays George Boleyn).
He's the reason I want to watch 21...actually, I'm attracted to the plot as well--he just makes me want to watch it more :D
What else can I say? This isn't a very profound entry :P It's my average teenage girl type entry. Nakakapanibago, but that part of me exists, apparently HAHA.
Which makes me recall the time of my Harry Potter movie and book obsession. Ahhh yes. I remember. Grade 5 ----- bizarre infatuation with Draco Malfoy/Tom Felton. I found him so debonair... I thought it was real real love! I thought I was seriously going to end up in England somehow sometime in the future and get married with the blonde actor WAHAHAHA. Yeah well. Turns out it didn't happen.
I even wrote letters to the whole freaking cast, okay? The only one who wrote back was Ron Weasley/Rupert Grint. I still have the letter and autographed photo that he sent. Wow.
Now it's Jim Sturgess and...Ryan Narciso! HAHA. Search his name on YouTube--you're bound to find him. I find it a little strange, though...being a fan of real people, know what I mean? They're normal people--they just happen to be talented and on television (in Ryan's case, YouTube).
HMM?

I baked cookies the other day. Betty Crocker (the ready made mix HAHA). I realized how much butter there is in a cookie.
1 CUP BUTTER = 1 CUP CHOLESTEROL
And so today, as I ate a cookie with a glass of milk, I stared at it and remembered all the butter I mixed in the bowl. How the butter holds all the ingredients together. And how I hate having to eat oatmeal to get rid of cholesterol. It disgusted me. I put the half-eaten cookie back in its container.
Freaking gross.
Cholesterol blocks arteries in the heart...you don't have to be visibly fat to have enough cholesterol to kill you. You can be fat but have low cholesterol and be thin with high cholesterol.
So whenever you eat a cookie, imagine all that butter.
remember: COOKIES CAN KILL

You know I might not even be a doctor anymore. I mean, I want to be one but I suck at Science! My most recent grade in Chemistry is a B. That doesn't sound bad but does the number 85 sound morbid enough? I'm better at English!!! (A+)
I shall nonetheless proceed with a freshman year at pre-med (i haven't taken a college exam yet, but if I pass that quota course I will enter it). Who says I won't survive? These high school grades are only what will help me get into college, but they don't define my career, right? RIGHT? You don't even have to be good at Chemistry to be an actual doctor -___- it's a whole different world than academics.
