"I CANNOT BELIEVE" EPISODES.

I still cannot believe UST managed to snatch the first prize (again!) from UP. I was kinda sure that UP will win. UST's performance today at the competition wasnt bad but it wasnt spectacular either. Nakakadepress. Sabi ko pa naman di ako jinx. I feel bad for my friend Kai, it's her last year in the squad. Oh well, UP did GREAT. I still think we shouldve won.

I met up with my friend Jason today at Gateway's Taco Bell. Sya ang pinagdiskitahan ko dahil Thomasian sya. Hmmmph, talo talaga dapat ang UST. Kahit siya aminado na akala nila talo sila. He was wearing his yellow shirt at lalo nag-init ang ulo ko. hehe, joke lang Jeiz... you know naman na i love you. Still. Grr. Btw, congrats sa friend mong si JaYson with a "Y".. kahit he didnt win sa CLose up to Fame, he did ok naman.

I went Ukay-ukay shopping tonight and i managed to buy a really good "coat" for (drumroll pls!) 80 pesos. I shall wear it on Monday.

Ayun kay Mike G., akala nya may BF ako. Therefore, di ako mukhang single? Hmm. I dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Kasi si Backstreet guy ay may dina-date na raw na girl. At si Mel ay hinihiling sa akin na ipaubaya ko na siya since meron naman daw akong "BUDDING ROMANCE" with another guy. Ngunit subalit datapwat.... di ko alam kung may patutunguhan ba kami ni Mr. Budding Romance. Isa syang magulo. Ayun kay Yves, mukha daw mauunahan ko si Shem na magka-BF at masisira ang propesiya ng aming "Bunutan"... WE shall find out. Kasi nga gaya ng sinasabi ko nitong mga nakaraang araw, AYOKO MAG ASSUME dahil wala naman syang ginagawang hakbang. Ayoko ng magulo.

"Maganda sana ang mga lips mo. Para san pa yan kung di mo gagamitin?"

Red Eye

isang malaking.. Ngii! I'm 100% sure that i get attracted to DANGEROUS-LOOKING, Assassin kinda guys. Isang hot na lalaki un antagonist sa Red Eye. I wanna be lost in his eyes. (hyperventilates) Creepy sya pero TYPE ko sya.

I (almost) spent my Friday night in the hippest, trendiest and most exciting place in the whole wide world...Starbucks. But since we're all spontaneous people, just when we thought we were all going home, we decided to watch a flick in Powerplant. Ayun na, Red Eye. Isa syang laughtrip. At di kami nilubayan ng mga traces ng lawschool, on our way to the Cinema we bumped into (my fave) our Criminal Law professor, Sir Vallente. He was with his wife. Yihee. Ngii. While watchin the flick, we couldnt help but think of the aggravating, justifiying circumstances and their requisites. Sick man!

Pepe is the Way the Truth and the Life.

"if it's from Pepe, it must be good."

Pepe celebrated his existence yesterday and boy were we glad. He was a lucky charm for all of us because....

1. FREECUT sa Persons!!!!
2. half lang ng period and ginamit namin sa Crim.

may mas gaganda pa ba sa araw na ito??!

then Pepe treated us to another episode of "NAKAKASUKANG KABUSUGAN" sa Dencio's. According to him... (after ordering another round of sisig) "Para kasing dinaanan ng bagyo un ulam eh!" Natawa na lang ako.

Si Pepe ang isa sa mga pinakanakakaaliw na tao sa buhay ko ngayon. Ito ang mga dahilan.

1. Siya lang ang kauna-unahang nakilala ko na nagpapatakbo ng 140 km/hr.
2. Siya lang ang taong may maraming maraming PEYBORIT na kanta na lagi nya tina-try na i-claim na PINAKA-PEYBORIT nya sa lahat ng mga PEYBORIT nya.
3. Sya lang ang willing na buksan ang bintana nya kahit na marinig ng mga tao na ang song na pinapatugtog nya ay "Wag jan, may kiliti ako jan" by Baywalk Bodies.
4. Sya lang ang kilala ko na willing matukso sa mga girls na nagbibigay ng ticket sa Parking Lot.
5. Sya lang ang willing na tuksuhin sya sa lahat ng babae sa block.
6. Sya lang ang nakakayanan na mamasyal sa Powerplant na suot ang kanyang mala-boxers na shorts at Bokia Shirt with his girlfriend na bihis na bihis.
7. Siya lang ang nakakapagsabi ng... "Penge picture, pagpapantasyahan ko lang."
8. Sya lang ang nakakapagpull-off ng mga lines tulad ng.. "nakaw na sandali, ang pag-ibig ay parang magnanakaw sa gabi..."
9. Sya lang ang nakikipag-convoy na iniiwan un ka-convoy nya at nags-swerve forever.
10. Siya lang ang makakapagpull-off ng pangalan na... "Joey Boy Corde" sa habang panahon.

Bagong Laban.

first and foremost, i wanna congratulate 1-C's debate team; Jayvee, Jeno, TJ and Pam for ACING (relevant itong word na ito) the 2005 Freshmen's Debate Competition (imbento ng title ng event). Best Memorial and Best Team, let's go 1-C!!!!

Oh well, i do remember saying that i'm actually giving up on my stalker stint for this Backstreet guy. I ALMOST DID IT. But aid came and all of a sudden, there's information overload about him. At higit sa lahat, fate as usual is making fun of me because.... HE IS ONCE AGAIN ALL OVER THE PLACE! I amost didnt make it to Mass today, i woke up late but i didnt wanna miss my chance to read for the first time as a bonafide CMO member, so i did my best. It turned out that i was still early for the mass. So, i have come into a conclustion that the saying "God moves in mysterious ways." is really manifested (fortunately and unfortunately) i my life. While i was reading, he entered the chapel. I ALMOST got distracted. Then, he just started to appear wherever i am. And proposals for introduction also came in abundance. Woohoo. I'm torn between two lovers.

Ayun kay Kay, Raffy's reading my blog... so i'm saying hi to Raffy. At wag ka mag-alala, ipapagpatuloy ko lang ang pagsasabi ng mga kalokohan na ginagawa ni Kay sa law school. Makakaasa ka na patuloy mo syang pagtatawanan sa aking pagkukuwento.

When do you realize that you have finally gotten out of the awkward stage? Hmm. when it's ok to say you're pooping. Dahil sa imminent danger, di ko na sasabihin ang name nya. Para mapangalagaan ang aming pagkakaibigan. Gaya nga ng sinabi nya nun last time, "We're officially close."

I promised Pepe that im gonna make a separate blog entry for him because t'was his birthday yesterday. Therefore, this is the last sentence for this entry.

Nakakatawa.

Now i know why for quite sometime now, i dont seem to have any ranking in Pinoy Blogs... I typed the link to my site wrong.. i typed it as http://eunicemonsod.blogPSOT.com !! can you believe it? It's a"Bible Site", that's why i havent been getting votes. Argh.

I wasnt called to recite today. Mahal talaga ako ng Diyos. Pero nakakatakot baka bigla na lang di na nya ako mahal at matawag ako bukas. Di ako naging productive masyado tonight. I still feel bad that Jaye dropped out of law school already. I dont have a seatmate anymore. Parang nabuhusan ng mainit na tubig na may mga aalis talaga sa laban na ito. Haay.

Ayoko na i-stalk si Backstreet Boy, sa kanya lang ako nahirapan ng ganito. Hmmp. Pseudo-stalker lang pala ako. Nagbo-bow down sa isang matinding pagsubok. Di ko nga sya nakikita sa law school eh. Payn.

I've been complaining about how my life revolves around the law school and Starbucks so to break the monotonous routine that i have, i went to Greenbelt with Joseph to buy his IMPORTED ILLUSTRATION BOARD. Yes, there is such a thing. An imported illustration board. I am praying that he ace this uhmm, project that he's working on. Sa ngalan ng panlilibre. Woohoo! He told me story about his misfortune about three weeks ago. I know he's gonna write a blog entry about it so i'm not gonna preempt his attempt to revive his stagnant blog. I pa-paste ko na lang pag nasulat na nya. Isa itong milestone sa aming pagkakaibigan, quoting him on my riding his car, "We're officially close." Therefore mahahawahan ko na sya ng pagiging "mabait" ko. Yeah right. Roll your eyes.

Nakakatawa, i once again googled my name and i found out that a lot of other blogs have been posting My Bestfriend Theory. Aba, meron na akong "readers". Sweet. Salamat sa inyo mga kapatid.

Nahihilo ako sa bagong layout ng friendster. Nakakalito. Technostress.

Bruhahahahahas.

Romantic Horoscope:
The world seems to be rewarding the flirts and the wild ones, but -- really -- do you want what they're getting? Your patience, rock-steadiness and trust mean your heart will find the right (and far better) place.

Ok. I'm through with flirting. (Thunder and lightning) Seriously, nakakapagod. One moment you feel like something great's gonna come out of it, the next moment you feel like everything's a show. Kaya simula ngayon, WALANG MALISYA lahat ng mga usapan at mga "nakaw na sandali". Hanggang walang nagtatapat, walang maga-assume. Kaya kahit na lahat ng tao ay tinutukso ako sa kanya, at minsan tinutukso ko rin ang sarili ko sa kanya... MAGKAIBIGAN lang kami. Nadala na ako sa mga wrong assumptions. I cannot afford to be distracted.

Yunis: Productive ako ngayon.
Ana: Congrats.
Yunis: Ganito talaga pag walang lalaki. Di distracted.
Ana: Alam mo naman pala eh.
Yunis: (tahimik)

-----------
(habang pinapakita ang mga stolen shots ni Shem sa aking Starbs Cutie)
SHelly: Sino 'to?
Yunis: Taga- *********
Shelly: Bakit sya umupo sa table mo? Di mo sya inimbita? Ang kapal naman nya.
Yunis: Di mo ba alam na pwede na mag-table sa Starbs ngayon? Parang beerhouse?
Shelly: Ano?!

Kat Kalapati read my blog ang found out about my Backstreet boy crush. For a second i panicked. Dyahe. Pero kinuwento ko parin. Therefore, alam ko na ang first name nya. Last name na lang. Chicken feed. Stalker na stalker talaga ako. Parang highschool. Kaya sayo *** mag-ingat ka na, i shall find out a lot of things about you. Please bumalik ka na sa pag-inom ng kape sa Starbucks. Matutuwa kami ni Melo.

Sa lahat ng mga LURKERS at mga unidentified readers. Salamat sa pagbabasa. Nakikita ko ang mga ip addresses nyo. Haha. Just kiddin. Sana magparamdam naman kayo jan.

Sa tingin ko nagiging boring na ang personality ko. Madali na ko mapagod sa pagkukuwento. Tinatamad na rin ako manamit. Nagukay-ukay ako kanina, ang mahal! 120 daw each, hmmp. Natawaran ko na 150 na lang un dalawa. Reyna ng pagtawad ito.

Use statue in a sentence.
"Yunis, statue?" Hubba, hubba!!!!

Barren

I feel so scared. It’s like I’m falling apart just thinking of what the future has in store for me. I don’t know if I can keep up with the depression that I have to go through. Every minute, I see more reasons why I should start hating myself. I don’t really know what I have to offer. It’s like I’m deteriorating into this good-for-nothing little girl who isn’t accomplishing much in her world of make believe.

I’m just not used to asking for help. It’s happening again. I wish a wolf would just eat me up. I don’t think even a wolf would want to eat me. This is so pathetic. No. I am so pathetic. Chances are, I don’t even deserve the word pathetic.

Please. This is not me. Or maybe, I’m just beginning to see who I really am. After a few hours, I will be smiling again. It’s just that lately, my smiles are painful. They’re empty smiles from a barren being.

Contemplations of a Budding Anorexic.

This morning i was feeling a level heavier, a level sadder and a lever more complicated. T'was that depression attack I had last night. At one point in your life, you will have to cross that quicksand of emotions. Scratch that, it's not ONE POINT is A LOT OF POINTS. People'll either notice or not. For a lot of people, it matters that people notice. For me, it really doesnt make a difference.

When i was a kid, my childhood friends used to embrak into what we then used to think as TREASURE HUNTING. I would often wonder why the grown-ups never noticed the tons of diamonds (which turned out to be broken glass) scattered in our school's gymnasium. I thought, if only they stopped to observe a li'l bit harder, they'd know that they didnt have to work. I eventually found out the truth.. that the diamonds that i was collecting are all worthless. T'was painful to accept it, especially when you thought you had it all figured out. THe truth slaps your sorry ass and leave a really stingy red mark.

Contrary to how a lot of people see me, i value my solitude. It's not because i dont enjoy other peoples' company but it's because i am able to make way for certain emotions that i struggle to conceal.

PLeaaaaase.. I cant handle depression today.

Sunday Morning...

"easy like Sunday Morning..."

Is it possible to have three songs for your LSS? I waited for my"sundo" in Starbucks this morning and three songs caught my attention.. Fever, You Dont Know Me and Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word. Ive been singing it the whole day, salisihan. Oh hindi!

I predicted it, the moment my family saw me wearing my shirt and my pants, they all gave me weird looks. So not me. I know. Busabos.

To make matters worse, on my way to the car... Bumigay ang paper bag ko. KUMALAT ANG CASES!!!!!!!! Dyahe. Dyahe. Dyahe.

I'm majorly crushing on a Mr. Backstreey Boy. Natatawa parin ako pag naiisip ko ang kanilang pagkanta. Laughtrip talaga.

My dad bumped into a co-worker he had ages ago. I admire my dad for not forgetting everyone he works with. He's quite an unforgettable character too, im sure. I hope the people i interact with will always have a place in their memories for me. Am i worth it?

Brothers Grimm..

We had no choice, my family wanted to watch that flick by Jodie Foster or Russel Crowe's and Renee Zellweger's Cinderella Man but both apparently arent in the cinemas yet. So, my family decided to watch The Brothers Grimm. My friend recommended it this morning, and he was raving about how t'was a fun movie to watch. My family's fantasy days ended the day Okay Ka Fairy Ko ended (hehe), but since we already are set to watch a flick, we gave it a shot.

The movie was witty, a conglomeration of all the fairy tales associated to the Grimm brothers with a twist. It was kind of dragging in the beginning. A "confused film"... is it a comedy, a thriller or did i miss the humor of the whole thing? The latter part of the film was far better, i like the suspense, the exposition of the now whole picture.

Monica Belucci is just gorgeous! I'm biased, I love her. I love it that amidst all the jokes which are most of the time slapstick by nature, it maintained its dim sort of gloomy feel. I'm a sucker for sad endings. I was hoping that Will won't wake up, and the 12 girls will forever be in their "coffins" preserved with the elegance of death. Oh well, i guess i'm too much of a pessimist these days.

I did like the ending, i mean, how could you not adore the sight of girls running towards a group of villagers who have been waiting for them since forever? How could you not like the sight of a happily-ever-after denoument? I even liked the "two-timing woman" who gave both the brothers a g'bye or perhaps an "im-flirting-with-you-come-and-get-me-boys" kiss (lucky bastard). Thought the beginning was sloooooooooooow, it sorta got my attention in the end.

The movie is a nice ending to my uber tiring week.
