not enough vitamins.. February 25, 2006

Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment

i’m a bit drowsy right now. i woke up at around 11 this morning then slept through most of the afternoon. weird. i’m not usually an easy target for mr. sandman.. :P but anyway, i’m just posting this then going to bed. i think.

[thursday]
I stayed in UP quite late last thursday because we had to finish our batch project for CURSOR. Well let’s just say the original plan wasn’t stuck to.. so there. It was past 9:00 or something I realized how late it was and how much more work (we were painting the tambayan a new shade of green) we had left to do. I decided to go home but then again I got worried coz it was already late and I didn’t want to go gallavanting around the campus to get to Vinzon’s hall to get a jeep to the MRT station. And besides, I wasn’t sure whether the MRT would still be open if I got there past 9. (Oh yeah, I LEFT MY PHONE AT HOME, dagnabbit.) So I just had dad fetch me, I had no choice of course. So we just kept on painting.. painting.. painting.. btw, my hands were green after that, and so were certain parts of my outfit..:P We didn’t finish painting everything. We just decided to continue painting the rest the next day. Dad came at around quarter to 11 or something. Nikko, Len, and Joelle hitched a ride with us. We ate at Yellow Cab for a while. Tamang-tama ba naman they close at 12. Blah blah blah.. I got home past 12 already. wow. Langya, that’s the latest I’ve ever stayed in UP.. next to the Eraserfest of course which is an entirely different story. And of all the days ba naman that I would leave my phone at home. grabe.

Now let me kwento what happened on the morning of thursday. shiyet. Why is it that I’m always the target of weird events? More specifically, mga kamanyakan. yak. First it was that mamang pulis person on the MRT.. and last thursday it was the conductor of the bus I rode to school. So here’s the story:

I rode my usual “SM Fairview, Ilalim, Ilalim” bus that day since, of course, there aren’t any other buses that would pass through Commonwealth Avenue and Philcoa. So this particular bus was the type with only one door/entrance located in the front part of the bus. So since the bus was full in the front part, I took a seat in the back part. I would just transfer seats nearer the front when all of them got off somewhere.. matagal pa naman kasi ang bus ride ko. So anyway, most of the people in front got off at Mantrade. But I was still kinda drowsy from waking up early so I decided to just stay where I was. Eto ang freaky:

Lapit si mr. Conductor sabay wink sa akin. YAAAAAAK!!!!! fudge him. :P

So, freaked out, I decided to transfer nearer the front where there were more passengers. Mr. Conductor handed me something. It was a ticket with something written at the back: “GUSTO KITANG MAGING KAIBIGAN”

pakyu pre!! at that point I was at a loss at what to do. Should I get off? Should I scream or something? Ewan!! So I decided to transfer even nearer the front where there were more passengers. Alas, the passengers got off even before we reached Quezon Circle. There were only 2 passengers left on that friggin bus, including me.

Mr. Conductor handed me something else, a receipt that read (in even bigger, bolder letters): “SAKAY KA ULIT PARA PALAGI KANG MAKA-LIBRE. ITO ANG SKEDYUL KO: LUNES, MARTES, BIYERNES DITO SA 1550 NA BUS”

taena mo!! gad. I was super freaking out at this point. He kept looking at me and winking.. shet ang sarap dukutin yung mga mata nya eh grabe!!! When we got to Philcoa, he shouted “Philcoa na nene! UP ka diba?” HOMAYGAD talaga!! potek. He stood at the door. I got friggin scared coz I knew I couldn’t be able to get off the bus without having to pass in front of him. When I got to the door, he HELD MY FRIGGIN ARM!! I shook like mad and wanted to scream but I couldnt.. So I almost jumped off the bus in front of a car that was passing. Gad!! After that I was shaking with a disgusted face.. yak talaga. shiyet.

feelin bouncy at midnight February 22, 2006

Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment

for some reason i’m all bouncy today. even now at roughly midnight. that’s something new. in the bus on the way to school this morning my eyes were barely half open. gad. haha! i think the person seated beside me was weirded out with the way my head was tilting forward every now and then from being half-asleep. well anyway. after the bus ride i was wide awake. CS class passed, math.. finally, i’m getting calculus!! shux. i dunno if it’s coz i’m TRYING to pay attention now or just coz the lesson is sort of easy. i hope it’s the first coz sir Wee said he couldn’t promise that the topics would get easier. so yun..

i’m supposed to be asleep already. although tomorrow’s a wednesday and i’m not supposed to be going anywhere, i have to go to UP. we have to start on our batch project for CURSOR application. we’re painting the tambayan apple green. personally i would’ve found a darker shade of green more suitable.. but ohwell. so yeah, i have to wake up kinda early. i think 9 is too early.. :P ohwel.

kainis, foodtrip ako kanina. badtrip ang foodtrip. too much food.. :P i shall try to control my spending from now on. i did not think i was capable of that much digesting. egad. no more shawarma for me.. :P haha. sige, yun lang po.. goodnight. :D

eraserfest February 19, 2006

Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment

i watched the eraserfest concert at the UP fair yesterday night / morning. it was super duper fun! i got to see the fair for the first time. since i’d been doing missions and all that the previous days, yesterday was the only time i had to actually go there. the whole thing was fun.. the food, the rides, the food.. haha! but of course the best part was the music and the bands + being with friends. the concert went on til the wee hours of the night and into early dawn. man, it was a good thing i didn’t get sleepy easily. i guess there’s really something about my not being home that keeps me awake. anyway, we didn’t finish the concert. we went home at around 3:00 AM. got home at 4.. then hit the hay. i think i more of fell down than lay down. haha. i was supposed to meet cheka at town after lunch. but owing to the fact that i really didn’t wake up.. we postponed. well, SHE postponed, that is.. :P hehe.

anyway. i have this dilemma. my class standing in math is well, sort of not good. i dunno if i should drop the friggin class or just take my chances and see what happens. the risk is that i might ACTUALLY fail. that’s not something i can take lightly. i don’t think i can get an 88 (grade i need to PASS the class). so i dunno, i think i’ll drop. :P boohoo. boo me. kase.. si ano kase eh..

sleepy na ako. i’ll continue this tomorrow. :P gu-bai. PS. the eraserfest rocked!!!!!!! i loove UP concerts. even if i’ve only been to ONE. haha.

A day of many FIRSTS. February 15, 2006

just got home a while ago. i think that’s the latest ever. so anyway. today’s wednesday. I usually don’t go anywhere on wednesdays coz I don’t have classes. It’s also usually the only time i get to sleep in as late as i want coz no one’s home to bug me about getting up. But unfortunately this wednesday I did not get that luxury. I got up at around 8 AM or something. I had to go to DLSU Taft, give Vincent his newly purchased MP4 player. So I met up with Clauds at Lopez at around 10 am and we went to taft together. I wouldn’t have been able to go there alone.. :P That was the first time I’d ever gone to Manila via whatever-you-call-that-route. After transactions had been done, and business over with, blah blah, I had to go to Diliman next. Having never traveled from La Salle to U.P, I actually had no idea how to go about doing that besides the two-worded phrase LRT-MRT. So Vincent showed me to where I was to ride the LRT.. and that was it. A first.

Unusually enough, I wasn’t really scared or anything about traveling unknown teritory on my own. I guess it was even kind of exciting. Bahala na kung mawala ako, manakawan, madapa, whatever. LOL. It was also my first time to set foot on an MRT station beyond the Quezon Ave - Ayala interval I spend my days traveling. Wow. wala lang.

I got to UP a little past 12. The other apps weren’t at CURSOR tambayan. I decided to get more missions for missions week. Some of it included buying lunch for K, plugging in a laptop adaptor for Bullet, and some other kind of easier missions. At 1:30 Joelle and the others came. We went to the CHK gym to watch Aydz’ basketball game. (part of Joelle’s missions) We cheered and yelled, greeted Aydz happy birthday and all that.. :P blahdiblahdiblah.

A lot more happened after that but I just can’t seem to recall any more. *skip*

I still hadn’t gotten any solicitations for Jerry. So Joelle and I decided to go to Gateway, Cubao to get some solicitations and also buy Onion Rings for Renz at Burger King. We got there and then I suddenly got second thoughts about the whole asking for Solicitations thing at GATEWAY. I thought maybe I could just do it some other place with less established establishments..(ooh, oxymoron..) anyway, we got the Onion rings, foodtrip-ped, then I went home. First time I ever went home from Cubao alone. Wow. wala lang. It’s also the first ever time I got to Ayala station and found the SM-Glorietta shortcut already closed. dammit. It was then that I realized I had no idea how to get to the Landmark terminal apart from that SM-Glorieta route. So I went out of the MRT station, went around the SM walls, turned here, turned there.. saw Park Square 1, thought that was it.. It wasn’t. I had to go around so many times before I finally found the side of Glorietta 2, and the familiar pedestrian lane leading to the Landmark terminal. So I got on the shuttle.. sat beside the door. A few minutes later I opened the door for the passenger and saw it was Daddy. homaygooshnit. At least it wasn’t THAT late. So yeah yun..

btw, my Philips’ earphones are wrecked (I loved those earphones, *sniff*. The left speaker ain’t working anymore. Same thing happened to my Sony earphones. Always the left. What’s with the left?! Ohwel. I have new ones now. Haha. :P

I feel sleepy. Have so much to do, don’t have time to do any of it. Being the loser student I am, I shall put all of it off for tomorrow. And do the same thing over and over again till I find there is no choice but to cram. Shiyet. Good luck to me. :P Good night.

the 14th of February February 14, 2006

Happy Valentine’s Everyone. I can’t really match that greeting with much enthusiasm coz I don’t have an ounce of enthusiasm for this stinkin day of celebration. The whole day I’ve been trailed by the sound of radio stations playing sentimental love songs.. Rubbing it in much?!

I wore black today… not red, black. Black.. the color for mourning. I mourn for myself and the loneliness that binds me in my life.. especially today. I keep myself isolated. I lock eveyone away and never let anyone in. It’s not out of choice, it’s to defend myself. Warding off the pain before it comes seems like a more logical choice than enjoying yourself and then knowing later on that it was just a big mistake. I’m not talking about romantic relationships here.. God knows I’ve never really let THAT get the best of me. It just seems right now that I’ve even gone as far as choosing the people I want to be friends with. So many people are around me but it always seems like I am alone. I don’t think anyone would ever know the things I know, feel the way I feel and think the things I’ve thought of in the dark depths of my mind. Not that I’m this dark distant person. Ask anyone.. Most of the time I’m this laughing, jolly, outspoken, joking person. But that’s just on the outside. I’m like the great wall of China. Such a wonder to the onlooker but the truth is it was built to keep enemies out… not really a wonderful thought.

Escapism has always been the thing that defines me. I run away from everything that bothers me. Now a conflict arises. The problem is me. So how can I run away from myself?

There comes a time when you feel like you have no choice but to do something you do not like. It’s missions week for the applicants of UP CURSOR (Association of Computer Science Majors) this week, as well as the UP Fair. So basically we’re asked to do 15 unique missions, have an average of 30 or more missions, have one mission from each committee and complete a mission that falls under the following categories: a mission that would benefit the organization, a survey mission, and something else i forgot. (byte!) Anyway, I had class from 8:30 to 2:30 today so I only got a chance to drop by the tambayan after Philo, around 3. The other apps had already filled up their missions page and were starting work on some of them. Most of the missions I got were dancing, singing, dancing AND singing.. and some other different ones.. easy ones. The most embarrassing thing was the dance Vergel, the alumnus, asked me to do. Wow. I thought I’d never get that done with. It was a good thing I didn’t have to do it all by myself. They even took a video clip of the “dance moves”. LOL. If only I could say in words how EMBARASSING that was. But I have to admit, it was fun. Missions week is kind of fun, really. Just till the point where the missions are accomplishable. I only wish I could gather up the courage to get the other missions done with. It’s only for a week anyway.

So the UP fair is this week. There’s gonna be lots of bands playing everyday at the sunken garden. I super duper wanna watch all of them.. except it’s really not possible that I come home at dawn everyday.. considering it’s a school week and I do have homework and all that. (Usually I don’t really care). Maybe I’ll just catch the SISFIRE thing on thursday and the other thingy on friday. I just hope I could find a way to get home..LOL.

good news and bad news. Math 2nd Long Exam results came out today. As I expected, I didn’t really passssssss.. damn. As of now my average is way below what I need to pass. Since we had the 3rd long in math today, and since I really don’t feel like I aced THAT one, I think I’m going to be seeing more calculus this summer. blech.

good news! Philo 1st Exam results came out.. I got a 1.5! Yay, ME! LOL. Hope I can keep that up. Blah.. oh yeah, more bad news.. It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Nothing bad’s happened yet but I figure something will.. Wahahaha.

Can’t find anything more to blog about. Feeling like makki… gonna get some. Bye!

ookie. after a long day of NOT doing any of the things i said i would do, here i am cramming. or at least, pretending to cram. haha. kita mo nga naman, ngbblog nanaman. :P ohwel. ganun talaga eh.. :D i’ve got a few hours till midnight. that ought to be enough to study for my 3rd long tomorrow, catch up on philo, start work on my java GUI taximeter. hehe. :P

anyway. i just had a big dinner a while ago. as in BINGE. and kung hindi ba naman mejo weird ang combo ng mga pinagkakakain ko. :P 2pcs of california makki, dinuguan w/ puto, strawberry-choco mousse cake, pork empanada.. (all courtesy of red ribbon.. except the makki of course.. :P) haha. i shall prepare for a big stomachache tomorrow. sana lang makayanan ng tiyan ko ang weird mix halo-halo na yun. hehe.

so.. musta naman? updates.. well actually there’s nothing much to update on. wala namang significant events that have happened in the last 24 hours. i spent the entire day learning songs on the guitar. i absolutely love the sound of the guitar. i can’t say i still feel the same way when I’M the one playing.. haha. that’s why i’m sticking to listening to songs right now. makes for a better mood (less frustrations, and minimal kalyo on the fingertips) :D yay.

better go and try to do schoolstuff now. :P hope i get some done. :D hehe. night.
