LOVESTRUCK

Last October 8, I attended a talk regarding love and courtship. It was hosted by the Holy Eucharist Parish Church and the two speakers were a couple who celebrated their 1st anniversary the next day. ♥

Here are some notes:

4 Deadly D's
Desperation
Dependence
Depression and Loneliness
Detachment


How to Get a Life

Get grounded. (We are created in the image of God.)
Get grouped. (Get involved in community.)
Get goal-oriented.
Get giving. (Reach out to people.)
Get growing.


"The people who risk nothing has nothing, does nothing."

"Take a risk and throw yourself to get a life."

"Start loving yourself to be able to give love."


On Courtship

It's the right love if, even after it has gone through the fire, you still love that person.

If you know that you can't handle the relationship, don't pressure yourself to continue the relationship.

Don't hide it from your parents.

Better to becomes friends first then falling in love, than falling in love and becoming friends after.

Good communication is very important.

It's better if our roles as women is to encourage them.


That's all from LOVESTRUCK. ♥ I just posted them here for future reference. And of course, also to share some notes on the subject. ;)

Bubi's Operation Tomorrow

I know that I still have to tell you guys what happened during the SEA Games. :) I'll tell you that later for there are more important things to say...

You know, Bubi is really a great guy. And he's going to undergo an operation tomorrow. Yes, he IS sick. He has Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and, because of that, I believe that he has a ureteral stent. I'm not sure what kind of stent coz he did not elaborate on it... It's just that there's a stent, get my drift? And the operation would really hurt A LOT. He would also stay at the hospital for a day or more... :(

Please pray pray pray for my dear friend. Let's all ask for his speedy recovery. Ü

Thank you! We need all your prayers! ♥

The Date with Harry Potter...

Last November 17 was Theresa Estandian's 18th Birthday.

Happy 18th Birthday, Apol! Mwah!

She informed us yesterday that we're gonna watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at Glorietta today. I was sooo excited because I'm gonna watch it at last! I should have watched it last November 16 but I had classes then. Anyway, last night, I told Bubi that I'll be watching the movie. :) He said he wants to watch it too so I suggested that we could watch it together. Mikey is going to watch too anyway. I was sooo excited that even though I slept at 4am, I managed to wake up just 3 hours later! :D

Anyway, there was a change in plans. We were supposed to watch at 11am but Apol was running late so we moved it 4pm instead. I told Bubi and I'm glad he said it was okay. Later on, he said he's gonna bring his neighbor and our co-YFC Neil. Cool! :D

We left G-Unit Net Cafe at around 12:30 pm and we were to commute to Makati! It was Bubi's first time on the MRT. Hahaha. It was sooo hot. Too bad that he wasn't able to enjoy the ride. It was quite packed since it was a Saturday and prolly most people are gonna watch HP4 as well.

The 4 of us went to check on Apol and Myza first. Then the 3 guys went to Starbucks at G4. After Apol and Myza ate lunch, we went to Starbucks to meet up with the 3 guys. Then, we started to fall in line to retrieve the reserved tickets. Gahd. The reserve system was sooo cool. The sad thing was, there were no reserved tickets for Bubi and Neil so they had to fall in line. Argh.

I was wearing this white halter top with jeans... I also brought with me a jacket. And my friends kept on teasing me about my sexxaay-ness. Hahahaha.

Anyway, after such a long and tedious hardwork, we got tickets for all of us. We grabbed some food at Taters and then at around 4pm, we went inside the cinema! Apol, Myza, Ike, Che, Arturo, and Monch were all seated at the first row right column. The 4 of us left were on the 2nd and 3rd row middle column. :) It's okay that we're separated. As long as we watched the movie together, it's cool!

I was seated next to Bubi and Mikey was seated next to Neil. The movie was sooo great! Bitin nga lang! I won't put any storyline here so as not to spoil everything for you. :) If I could watch it, I'd watch it over and over again!

The show ended at around 6:45pm and after that, we decided to go on our separate ways home. The 4 of us stayed at Starbucks for a while and then we went home since I managed to convince them to watch Nyoy Volante's show at 19East.

We went to Neil's and Bubi's homes to ask permission from their parents. They were allowed in no time at all. :) Things were looking great. I actually thought that my sister and I were included at the guestlist. Unfortunately, we weren't. And honestly, I can't afford to pay P350 for 3 of us. (Mariah and Mikey were to go too.) Sayang! It could've been a great night.

I felt guilty when I informed Bubi and Neil that we're not going out anymore. I just promised them that I'll arrange a next gig for us within this month. Ü

Anyway, we were tired so I presumed it's okay that the night-out was cancelled. I hope the 2 guys won't be mad at me... :(

Tomorrow, we'll be attending a YFC sector conference at 8am at Freddie Webb's Gym. After that, we'll go straight to Quirino Grandstand to practice our dance for the opening of the SEA Games. I'm sooo darn excited!!!

On the sidenote, I haven't done most of my schoolwork yet. Oh well, be doing that tomorrow after the practice! :D

Form 5 Done!

My Form 5 is now with me!!! OMG! All I need to do is to pay for my tuition fee to have it validated! Yipee! I'm sooo happy!

I got an ugly sched. Ugh. But that's okay. I'll choose a better one next sem. ;)

Anyway, was just dropping by to update you guys! :D See you soon!

Late reg again!!!

I went to school this morning to enroll for 2nd sem. I went to my adviser first and showed her my class cards. She was glad I got high grades and no failing marks. Dapat lang. Anyway, I do have high marks, except for College Algebra and Trigonometry. :(

So after going to my adviser, I submitted my enlistment form at the OCS window and waited for my name to be called. Two hours later, no sign of my Form 5A. Half an hour later, my enlistment form was returned to my adviser and I was summoned. She checked my enlistment form again and then asked me to get my Form 5A again. I got it an hour later. And to my dismay, it only listed 4 subjects. I lack 4 more!!! Argh. So my adviser asked me to proceed with the late registration. *sigh* Not again! What is wrong with the UP Enlistment system? There was the manual pre-enlistment halfway to the end of the current semester... Then there was the online enlistment during October. I couldn't believe that UP has such a crappy enrollment system. It would really take you WEEKS before you could actually enroll. Argh.

And so I just went home after I accomplished all the other forms. I'll be back to school tomorrow (for Manila Collegian meeting) and on Friday (to check on the available slots for my desired subjects).

My actual late reg enrollment would be on Nov 14. Good thing it's on the 2nd day of the Late Reg period... ^__^

Btw, yesterday was my paternal grandmother's birthday. Happy Birthday Mommy!

We ate dinner at Max's Restaurant and it was fun. The night went well, although I wish I could have bought this really cute shoes I saw.

It's amazing how that one night was sooo peaceful. No verbal fights between my mama and mommy. Thank God. At least everyone had one night of peace. lolz. :P

2 Chinese Students Strike Again!

This time, they're emoting to "As Long As You Love Me" by Backstreet Boys, again.



Di talaga sila papatalo no? hahaha!

They want to beat the Numa Numa guy eh. :P

Oh well. Click here to watch the video.

I still think that their "I Want It That Way" is the best! They look so OA here already!!! Good luck with their career! :P

P.S. Thanks ninja_neko for the tip. ;)

School in 2 days

This is a very busy Sunday.

I slept at around 4 in the morning and I woke up 3 hours later. Mikey, Mariah and I were asked by our YFC leaders if we could help in facilitating a covenant orientation for the SIGA at St. Mary's. SIGA stands for Serving in God's Army. ;)

Anyway, the Covenant Orientation was supposed to start at 9 am but we arrived there a bit late. Besides, there were no SIGA yet.

They came at around 10 and after introductions and a prayer, we started the orientation. We only had Talk 3 which is "Loving, Honoring, and Serving our Brothers and Sisters." The CO was really fun! I enjoyed because I met so many new people. The SIGA at St. Mary's were from the slums. And taking that factor into consideration, I was really glad that they were super nice and friendly. As always, they called me Sunshine because they think I look like Sunshine from Sexbomb Dancers. I have really no objection since they consoled me that Sunshine is the most beautiful among them. :P

We were supposed to continue with Talk 4 but since we're running late, we decided to continue it next week. I can't wait to see them again!

We arrived home at around 1 pm and we ate lunch. After that, Mariah went to G-Unit Net Cafe to finish working on her homeworks. On the other hand, Mikey and I went back to sleep. ^__^

I asked Ate Daylene to wake us up at 2 pm since we still have to attend the children's mass at the Holy Eucharist Parish Church which starts at 4 pm.

The children's mass is the best! It was really lively... and aside from my crush (yes, I do have a crush.) being in the Music Ministry, I love hearing mass with the children. :D It's great to see little kids serving the Lord. Plus, they're all enthusiastic so it's fun to just observe those kids praise God. I think I'll be serving there too. I don't know what I'll be doing yet. I might be a collector or commentator next week. :D

After mass, my friends and I all gathered outside the church to hang out for a while. Then we all went home, which was G-Unit Net Cafe in our case. :P

Btw, I'll be going to school tomorrow. I'm going to get all my class cards and I'll also attend the Inauguration Ceremonies for the new UPM Chancellor Dr. Ramon Arcadio. Then, Ate Reyna, Manila Collegian EIC, will work on my articles. I hope everything goes well tomorrow.

*sigh*

I can't wait to go back to school... yet a part of me dreads it. I know we still don't have the money to pay for my tuition. And I hope I get the money before Wednesday since Nov 9 is the first day of classes. I might be registering late again, but it's okay. ;)

All in all, I can't wait to see all my friends again! I miss you all!

Failure According to Google

Got this from an email...

Google really knows the search business!

1. Go to http://www.google.com/

2. Type in "Failure", without the quotes.

3. Instead of hitting "Search", hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"

4. Look at it and laugh and marvel at what comes up. :P

5. Tell your friends before the powers-that-be force Google to fix it.

*sigh*

This is the first time I've felt somehow... unloved.

I don't know how to really put into words what I'm really feeling right now.

It's been almost a month since his friend told me that HE likes me.

I don't even want to type this entry for my friends would be reading my blog. How embarrassing...

You see, I have a crush on this guy. And HIS friend told me that HE likes me. HIS friend even talked to my mom about it. And my mom who always wanted for me to have a boyfriend, said something to HIS friend that somehow signifies that HE is open to court me. I was giddy. Ugh. Who wouldn't? It's like I had a long-time crush on him! (Almost a year, mind you.)

And last night, HE told me that the rumors (being those what HIS friend are telling people) weren't true.

So this is how it feels to be heartbroken.

My mom said that time would heal my heart. I shouldn't jump fast from one relationship to another.

I'm quite embarrassed. But I have nowhere to vent out my feelings. (Of course, that's a lie. I have 2 private real journals kept in my room.) But the point is, I want a solicited, or even an unsolicited, opinion regarding this matter. (Ma, Aunt, and Shobe, are you reading this?)

Well, maybe this isn't the right time for us.

Oh, and by the way, HE asked me last night if I could sing. I might be singing for our YFC Camp. :) Now, that's something that makes me smile. But when I remember how cute he waved at me last Sunday, I can't help but feel anguish.

Oh well. Is this what you call puppy love?

I can't believe I've typed all that. Oh well, sometimes I do crazy things. :(

Right now, I can't describe what I'm feeling. I'm caught in between.

Most of my time are spent posting at Girl Talk. It's really great to post there and give advice.

There's a forum there where there is a support group for those women who want to have a baby. Those women have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and some have hormonal imbalance contributing to the increased hardship in creating a baby.

There's also a forum there where some women get pregnant by 'accident' and they want the baby aborted.

Isn't it ironic? Why does God give babies to those who want to kill them? It's really a pity how some girls could just abort their babies when some are trying, even spending millions, just to have one. *cries*

That's why I encouraged them to keep their babies. Coz who knows, that THAT baby is the only one that God will give to them, right?

Anyway, sometimes, I write for Manila Collegian. I have an article pending but I still couldn't finish it because the interview with Dr. Ramon Arcadio, the new UPM Chancellor, would take place on Thursday. I might pass the article on Friday. :)

How's your Halloween guys? How's sembreak so far?

2 Chinese Students Want It That Way

First, a shout out to all: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

How was your halloween guys? Mine's pretty boring so I won't go into all those crap of how my boring day went.

Anyway, the newest sensation in the internet is this:



I'm quite sure you will all like this funny video. So pump up the volume in your speakers, sit back and relax.

Watch the video.

The video shows 2 basketball dorks in a (probably) Chinese dormitory performing a fan-video of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want it That Way" while their roommate silently frags away.

I'm quite amazed how indifferent their roommate was. Never even looked behind him. Lolz.

So that is why I probably love the web anyway. You get great finds! We have invented a technology that allows people to actually make a total fools out of themselves. It's great too how they can send it all over the world. :)

Come to think of it... There's just something with Chinese people, don't you think? *grins*

P.S. I am subtly encouraging all of you to get your webcams out of their boxes and then lipsynch to a pop song. Send the video to me so that I can post it here in my blog.

Insta-fame!!! ^__^
