Perry Smith May 18, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentHe saw the beauty of life. He lived life as if the scars of his horrible childhood weren’t there. And then suddenly, the wrong circumstances led him to commit murder without even realizing it until he heard the hard swishing sound of his knife cutting through human flesh, and blood gushing out from the Clutter’s neck.
I’m like Perry Smith.
But I didn’t kill anyone.
“my heart will go on” May 14, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 2commentsWent to watch Mission Impossible 3 today. We were initially supposed to go to ATC but then Cheka wouldn’t be allowed so we went to SM Southmall instead. I got there around 2pm, met up with Cheka, Philip, ate Lani, and Chris at the Cinemas so we could watch the movie already.
M.I.3 was okay. It had its fun parts, although I couldn’t say it was a lot better than the other two Mission Impossible movies.
After the movie we went to eat at KFC. I haven’t eaten there in a long time.. not that a lot has changed.. the chicken’s still chicken and the cole slaw still as cole slaw-y as before. :P hehe. Anyway, we didn’t get to do much after KFC coz Phil and the rest went home already. Cheka and I went around a bit, I bought a VCD copy of “The Notebook” from Radio City, then Mom came to fetch me already.
When I got home, we watched “The Notebook”. My sights got foggy at the later part of the movie.. It was just so sad, sweet, and romantic all at the same time. Well, doesn’t matter what exactly it was, point is it was waaaay too senti for me, and got me all in the love-story-watching mood. After “The Notebook”, we watched “Titanic”… talk about drama. I held it in for most of the movie. But then the last few scenes + Celene Dion got me started with the drama again. Ohwel. No wonder this entry’s becoming a bore…
“Where to, miss?”
“To the stars…”
hai.

Last Sunday I watched the League game where Philip’s team (The Unknowns?) played. I had a lot of fun with ate Lani. We had our eyes stuck on certain players.. and certain players’ hair… “Must.. touch.. hair!” (haha nevermind.. =P) Well anyway, The Unknowns won.. haha. After the game we were to go to Sinangag Express for dinner. Bad time to be wearing a very short mini-skirt. I couldn’t get up the back of the truck. Goodness. Philip had to drag me up.. haha! That was some kinda hilarious moment.. Kaladkarin ba naman daw ako.. haha! Anyway, so yeah, we had our dinner at the new Sinangag Express.. =) Richard payed. Hai. I usually don’t allow people to treat me to anything (be it a meal, pamasahe, movie, whatever) without reason.. eh.. magagawa ko? haha.. :P
Nothing much happened on Monday.. School, house.. pretty much my everyday routine.. Let’s skip to Tuesday.
Yesterday was the Advanced Registration for some of the new UP Freshies. After Math class I went over to A.S. with Ria Marra to Marhsal. It took some time before we could figure out where we were supposed to go and what we were supposed to do. Good thing we saw Paolo Sy and Marie there. That was around 2:00. So I was a Marshal. With the ID and everything.. and Freshies coming up to me and asking what to mark / fill out on their Form 5s.. haha. It was fun. We even had a free meal later that afternoon.. :P I went home at around 5:30 already. My feet were hurting soooo much ’cause I had heels on.. (What the.. ?) And that was pretty much my day..
[Back to the Present]
Today? Well, there was Math, as always. It was a very comical math class we had today. And it was our prof who was doing the joking around.. :P haha. He said he’d put on a contest for our notes.. +3% for the 3 people with the neatest notes. Hai. There’s way too much to rewrite for a measly 3%.. haha. Oh well. So anyway, after Math class it started to rain.. as in RAIN. It was raining so hard that Mara was even forced to buy an umbrella from the stalls at the A.S. walk. My pants were soaked almost up to the knee by the time I’d reached the MRT Station, Quezon Ave. Well anyway, I didn’t go home right away. I met Philip at McDo then we went to Ruins.. =) I wanted to buy clothes.. but I didn’t. Hoorah.. ?? After he’d bought Scary Movie 4 (hindi pa rin DVD copy.. argh. Tapos sarado pa yung stall ng suki ko..) we went to Ice Monster.. :P I went home at around 6:00.. but not after Daddy called and told me he was going to watch M.I.3 at Greenbelt. :P hmph. I wanna watch it too!!!! Oh Well. I guess I’ll just watch on Saturday.. :P hehe.
Anyway, I’m feeling bad for a friend right now. She’s caught up in the middle of some mad chaotic game she was forced to play. How can these people blame her and not see their shortcomings?? How can they make her do something then not even take into account what she’d accomplished? POLITICS is something I would never understand completely. Work addicts? Get a life. And bug out of others’.
burger, sesame seeds, at pandesal May 7, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , 1 comment so farI left the house this morning at around 9 something, met Joelle at McDonalds. We took the shuttle to makati. Haha it was just my 3rd time riding the service going to UP. :P So anyway, we were going to post posters for KISSS pa kasi dapat before the Parser GA that was scheduled for 2:00 pm. Dinaanan pa din namin sa katips yung hakot stuff ni Joelle for FOPC. :P Grabe, mabigat yun in fairness. :P hehe. Anyway.. the meeting lasted for about 2 hours or so.. I got my first assignment, an article with Cai.. Yehey, my first! haha. After the meeting Joelle and I went to Glorietta.. dapat actually ikot lang kami sandali tapos uwi na [btw, astig yung new phones at digital exchange.. ang saya mangalikot dun.. hehe.] but then nagyaya si Jasper ng dinner so pumunta kami Timezone to meet him. When we got to timezone, nakita namin ni Joelle yung “House of the Dead” game that was at Timezone’s entrance.
Mayee: Uy, House of the Dead.. Baka naman anjan si Lorenz.. [meaning it as a joke and a very hypothetical thing.. haha]
Joelle: Ayun o, diba si Lorenz yun?
Mayee: Ay! Oo nga noh!
Joelle: Hinde, joke lang yun..
Mayee: Hindi nga! Si Lorenz yun oh!
Joelle: Joke lang nga! Ay shet! Oo nga noh!
Haha. Wala lang.. nakakatuwa yun. :P haha. Anyway, yun.. nag-dinner kami at Hotshots burgers (where I had a Cheeseburger Deluxe.. ick.) Graaaaaaaaabe. I never thought I could laugh that hard for sooooo long.. Well, I haven’t done that for quite some time now.. haha. Basta yun! Grabe, sobrang tawa kami ng tawa at Hotshots. Napapasigaw pa nga ako ng, well, bad words (pati si Joelle) haha. Umalis tuloy yung people sa table next to ours. Di ko na masabi lahat ng mga nakakatawa sa kahaba-haba naming dinner.. pero grabe. Laughtrip. haha
Sige, yun lang.. I’m turning into pandesal na eh. haha. (nevermind..) Good night. :P

i’m blank May 6, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment“if your intention was to shoot
an arrow through my heart…
bullseye.”
- Carmen, The Producers
Feeling..
I’m feeling quite blank tonight. Not happy, not sad.. just blank. But through the course of today I was generally jolly, my usual day self. Math was quite fun today, well it’s been like that for quite some time now. You could say I’m enjoying my math this summer. But then again, summer would have been a lot better if I’d passed it the first time. But then again again, I wouldn’t have baon, the thing that makes the world go round.
The forces of misfortune…
This morning I felt like all the forces of misfortune were acting upon every piece of transportation I got on just to make me late. The bus was delayed, the MRT, the Toki.. but nevermind though, I got to class in time for our prof’s first word of the day, in a manner of speaking.
But Why?!
Just like some weird phenomenon, this person just keeps vanishing then reappearing again. I feel I’m being deceived. But there’s really no way to tell, is there? I guess vigilance is all I need. Grrr.
The passivity of humor these days
I find that I laugh at anything these days.. and I mean anything. I laugh at other people, other people’s mistakes, their appearance, TIM YAP, I laugh at pambee.. (dont ask).. I even laugh at myself. How pathetic can I get? Although laughing all the time can get you that natural high.. I don’t think it’s healthy. Hahaha! (see?)
On Culture and the average Heterosexual Male
At McDo, Glorietta this afternoon (while Joelle was at the counter and I was left alone at the table) I heard something interesting from the point of view of a gay person. This gay person was sitting at the table right next to ours and was in deep conversation with his/her(?) two other gay friends. He/She(?) said something like:
“Comparing a gay person with the average heterosexual male, there is so much more grooming/self-consciousness involved as a male. There’s the gym workouts to keep themselves fit, fitted shirts, groomed hair. I swear, sometimes they would just cry in front of me out of belief that they weren’t adequate enough to go out in society.. I mean, there’s so much they need to live up to as a male. That’s what our culture expects of them / calls for these days…”
It was kind of interesting to hear that.. and provided an answer to the all-time-favorite question, why they are the way they are. Some of them just want to escape the high expectations that culture demands of the male population. But of course, we can’t really say that culture calls for nothing from the female sex, can we? Well I dunno, it’s just probably a mcdo thing.. :P
Weekend
I’m going to school tomorrow. Parser has this GA, and I’m going. (Wow, I haven’t even done anything yet and Joelle says I could go to that thing already.. ahaha). Anyway, after that I hope I get a chance to watch MI3 (or I would die) sometime in the afternoon.. or not? Then on Sunday, busy. I have to do stuff. Lotsa stuff. But then in the afternoon I’m going to watch a basketball game. And I’m no longer making any sense.
I best stop this here entry right now before I embarass myself. Haha. Goodnight. Errr I mean, Good morning. Yeah.
“i couldn’t care less” May 3, 2006
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a commentWe had our second long exam in math this morning. It was a bit harder compared to the first exam.. I hope I pass.. although I’m quite positive I did (not sure if I’d be getting a high grade though). Well, so much for math.
So what’s on my mind? Nothing much really. Still debating myself about whether I should really board next sem or if I’d keep up commuting the long distance to school everyday. Both have equal pros and cons. I dunno, I need an outside opinion.. :P haha.
[On the other side of the world]
I had this interesting chat with mario this afternoon. He asked me about my opinion on the protests going on in the US against immigration laws or something. After quite some time of thinking (as I was only informed then and there of what the issue was), I defended my side, which was not the side most people had leaned toward. I’m against the whole illegal immigrant deal. The word “illegal” in “illegal immigrant” is itself the incriminating proof that it’s just wrong, given any justification.
Well anyway, the issue here is that it took a long time for me to think about my answer. I would’ve given an answer right away, but to my surprise I hadn’t heard anything about that issue. It got me thinking. I don’t really keep myself informed about what’s happening in the world. Perhaps it’s because I don’t give a shit sometimes, but then again, what’s the harm in knowing what’s going on out there. I was silent wracking my brain for what to say in order to appear (to him and most importantly to myself) that I was NOT an incompetent, uninformed, detached person with nothing to say about national and international issues. But then again, I do have much to say about issues. It’s just that I don’t know the issues. If only I cared more. my life right now. How the heck should I be more affected by social issues and conflicts if I remain blind to the closer-to-home issues and conflicts, those in my imediate universe.. the ones involving me. Not that I’m being selfish, but there that saying that in order to fix others you must first fix yourself (or something like that). So I guess it would be much easier if those self-righteous (or at least they think they’re self-righteous) people would look at their own problems first instead of meddling in other people’s issues. I mean, if we all fixed our own problems then there wouldn’t be any problems at all now, would there? And we couldn’t blame others for trying to interfere in our own business. Well I dunno, that’s one person’s opinion. So what’s yours?
[I’ll post more on my opinion of the immigration subject next time, it’s getting quite late and I have to catch up on lost sleep. hehe]
