The Law and Economics of Lust, Love and Life

Melo wrote this in her blog..

Eunice, I think this is most apt for you.
"But most of all I hate the way I don't hate you, Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
~ Katarina, 10 Things I Hate About You.

You're right. That was what I was thinking about when I wrote the "The worst part of it all is that i dont hate you." in one of my entries... Thanks sweetie.

I learned something really important today.. In honor of Sir Obieta, I'm posting it and I promise him that I will remember this until the day i die. Seriously!

It is impossible for a valid argument with true premisses to have a false conclusion.

Ana and Melo are eyeing this guy. Apparently, Ana thinks he's got the hots for me. Seriously Ana, wala kaming ginawa sa washroom. Everything was mere coincidence. He was smiling at me because we got to converse a couple of times. Di siya masungit... Promise. At OO, sa tingin ko ay ang tangos nga ng ilong nya. We were just "talking." And Melo's been bugging me to introduce her to him. Naks. Step up! Then we got to FISH info about him from a friend of ours. Apparently, he's a "pating" (shark) daw pagdating sa girls. Hmm, at nabanggit kong bigla.. mahilig pa naman ako sa sharksfin. Hahaha. Nakakatawa. Sabi ko nga, tapos na ako sa stage na ito dapat e. Nanggugulo nanaman ng buhay itong mga lalaking ito e. Classic ang aking linya kanina.

Guys, tama na. The last time you did this to me, i got hurt.. REAL BAD.

At natahimik na sila. Effective. Harhar.

I'm feeling good today. I guess it's the fact that I'm a free woman. And i'm quite positive that it showed because I received a lot of compliments today... Sample.

Richard: Ang ganda natin ngayon a. Ganyan ba talaga pagnalilibre? (Ayun o! Salamat Kiboy, bwahaha.)

Lea: Bakit ang ganda mo ngayon?
Euns: Ganun talaga, IM BACK eh. Back in the game. Fight.

Funny conversation with Ana:

Sir Obieta: All Ateneo Law Students are....?
Euns: LOVELESS.
Ana: Wag naman loveless, SINGLE na lang.
Euns: Sige, sige.. SINGLE.

Horoscope for the day:

The month will end on a cheerful note for us all, but most especially for you. You're due for a call, visit or letter from someone who brings out the best in you -- and the deepest in your personality.

Woohoo, cant wait. Dinner with Duh Perm tomorrow and we'll have our first gift-giving episode. I'm sooooo excited. I hope everyone'll be soooo happy. And yeah, I'm experiencing this fondness for OOOOOOOOOOOOO's. Haha.

Season Ender.

Now I know why Ed is one of my favorite TV shows... it's like Ed's life is parallel to mine. Besides the fact that he is a lawyer and that im a lawyer-to-be and that like me, he has the oddest experiences, the show's script never fails to make me say, "Awww.." or "Shit." because I can relate to their lines.

I watched its Season Ender tonight. How apt. I just had a "season-ender" myself a few days ago. I love the song Moments in the Sun and I love watching all the stories of the characters unfold right before my eyes. Ed is trying to salvage what is left of his "budding romance" with Carol (his sorta bestfriend) who now has a boyfriend and is "supposed" to be happy... she got asked by the guy to go to a trip with him during the whole summer.. who wouldnt be happy? haha. Ed found out that this "boyfriend" bought a diamond ring and he suddenly realized that he shouldnt LET GO. Argh. The boyfriend found out that Ed asked the jewelry shop people if he bought the ring and he was so upset about it that he uttered these words..

"She was there for the taking... You decided to go the safe route.. just friends.
And you got just what you wanted."

Kay saklap for Ed. Sapul siya e! So when the fair (this is a very important element, Ed let go of Carol last year, during the fair too...) ended, Ed and Carol found themselves all alone AGAIN. The conversation struck me..

(Awkward silence)
Carol: Do i have to say something really clever right now.? Because if i keep talking.. i'll cry.
Ed: You dont have to talk.
(hug)

Sometimes, a hug really means a lot of things. It bridges the communication gap and sorta gives the assurance that things'll be alright. Human warmth says a lot about the relationship. I think people can kiss all the time but hugs are more meaningful. But then again, it's just me.

In the end, Ed and Carol kissed. That part i didnt like. But i like the fact that Ed gave her the "duck" that he won from the fair.

Ed: You're all set.

Yeah, I'm all set. And just like Ed, i have this mischievous smile and nobody's gonna guess what my next move''ll be. There. Whatta SEASON ENDER.

Yehey.

I got na my Starbucks Planner. Wala lang. At least one down.. another one to go. Pressure.

Horoscope:

If something in the romantic realm seems to be going dramatically wrong, take a step back and look at the situation again. You're extra sensitive right now, so your perspective is likely a little (or a lot) skewed.

Nagbibiro ka ba? Kahit skewed man o hindi isa lang ang nakikita ko. Wala akong lovelife. May iba pa bang interpretation dun? Haha.

I'm Back. The Woman of the World. Ang Babaeng Makamundo.

taken by Eunice while on her way to Rockwell.

Ana: Sana bumalik ka na nga sa dati. Un Eunice na katulad nun OrSem. Eunice: Sa tingin ko ang laki ng tinanda ko sa law school. Nagbago na nga ako.

I went to Market Market with Ana today to shop for our Kris Kringle gifts. I'm happy with what i bought, I hope my "Baby" will appreciate my humor. I saw this very interesting object in one of the shops and Ana and I just cracked up when we realized how weird it is to find something like this in a store.

Doll ng mangkululam e no? San ka pa!

We went back to Rockwell to "study". But a few minutes after we arrived at our HOME Starbucks Loft, Ana told me that she's going home because she's sleepy. Therefore, I was left all alone. Then Melo came. She went Ukay-ukay shopping today with Ate Ceia. Btw, it's Ceia's birthday today.. woohoo! Salamat for coining the term, "woman of the world" for me. I shall forever remember that phrase. Ako ang Babaeng Makamundo. Bwahaha.

Pepe surprisingly came. He spent 35,000 for his car's new seats today. Para sa akin, ang kanyang bagong upuan ay ang upuan ng nalulungkot. Kasi para kang hinu-hug habang nakaupo ka. 35 freaggin' thousand. Pero astig, astig. Pepe, isunod mo na ang DVD Player. Pimp my ride na pimp my ride na ang dating. Oh well Rockwell, sabi mo nga... WHAT'S MONEY ONLY PAPER?

I saw the guy with the cute dog for the second time. Oo, cute ang may-ari ng dog pero cute talaga un dog na un. Therefore, it's like hitting two birds in one stone. May abundance ng mga cute kids sa Starbs. Sabi ko kay Ana, "Sa tingin ko ay maling senyales ang ating pagkahumaling sa cute na girlie kids. Pedophile ka na, may sign pa ng lesbianism (not that there's anything wrong with it ika nga ni Seinfeld).

Naibalita ko na kay Mel na natagpuan ko na sina Backstreet Guys sa friendster. Masaya sya. I got into a conversation with her about how men tend to hold on to the memory of the woman who rejected them. It's like they are forever haunted by the fact that they can never have this girl and that gives them the chance to put her on the pedestal. For them, she is the "IT" girl and as a consequence, they tend to take for granted the woman that is there. I think it's a very sticky situation when your guy tells you that he thinks this "WOMAN" is perfect. No matter how hard they try to tell you that YOU ARE DIFFERENT and whatever you have will never be affected by whatever admiration or uhmm, ADORATION he has for the OTHER GIRL, i think for as long as he wont let go of her and her perfection, it's always a sign of trouble. But all I have are theories. Dont take the advice of a woman who falls for the wrong guys ALL THE TIME. Haha.

Nga pala, for the past months I've been noticing that in the list of Popular Searches in my Network in Friendster, someone is always searching for "signs that he/she likes me". Kung sino ka man, sa tingin ko, ang tama mong gawin ay tanungin mo na lang sya. Wag ka na maspeculate, mahirap na.

Nalungkot ako, nagkakwentuhan kami ni Rainy tungkol sa kanyang pagkakalipat sa Starbucks Equitable... in Makati Ave. I know it's near but the fact that I wont be able to see her almost daily anymore is a very sad reality. Gaya nga ng sinabi ko, parang pamilya na ang turing ko sa mga makukulit na baristang ito. Kung pwede lang talagang mag-initiate ng signature campaign para mag-stay sila gagawin namin nila Mel. Haha. Wag ka mag-alala Rain, dadalawin kita. Tamang-tama, un credit card ko sa Equitable ko kukunin. Haay.

Andami pa aaralin sa Oblicon. Dapat nag-aaral ako ngayon e. Mali ito. Salamat Pepay sa ride home. Apir tayo jan!

Salamat Sam.

Isa kang aktibong tagapag-comment sa aking blog. I'll see you again soon. Apir! Ituloy ang iyong pagiging busy sa office (habang nagf-friendster). Mabuti yan, alam natin ang ating priority. Harhar..

I'll Put a Spell on You

I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me
But you just can't see
You turn every head but you don't see me

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
When I put a spell on you
And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me

Yeah
Ye-ah

Sometimes the last thing you want comes in first
Sometimes the first thing you want never comes
But I know that waiting is all you can do
Sometimes

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
When I put a spell on you
And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realise that you love me

I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
Cause I put a spell on you
And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me, yeah

Konting Ngiti.

bonbon : sabi ng isang avid reader ng iyong blog... bakit madrama ka na raw ngayon? miss na niya ang mga kwento mong kwela. yung buhay mong ginagawa mo mismong fiction.
euns: ahehehe.. kasi ito ang aking "moment". olats ako ngayon e.

Therefore, I shall start being the bubbly blogger that I was. What did I do today? uhmm.. I went to church, bumped into, Junelyn, a friend o'mine from gradeschool. We were able to catch up on each other's lives... She graduated from FEU, her course was MedTech and right now she's working at a Medical Clinic. She's still undecided as to whether she will pursue Medicine or is she'll take up Law. Thanks Junelyn for giving me that, "Kaya mo yan. Kung di mo matatapos ang Law, di yan ang Eunice na kilala namin." pep talk. Aww. Then we went home. I slept the whole day. Literal. I woke up to watch Pinoy Big Brother and Nginig. Un lang.

I am officially crushing on Eirick (not pronounced as eyrick! it's ayrick). He's this psychic who looks like Ryan Agoncillo. Nakakadiri ano? Wala ako magagawa, na-realize ko ang aking attraction nang mapanood ko siya kanina na nakikipagtalastasan sa mga multo. Sa tingin ko kami ang para sa isa't isa. Hehe.

Shemps ang aking horoscope for the day ay nananatiling consistent sa aking horoscope kahapon...

Coworkers look to you for inspiration. You have more influence than you realize.
For the past couple of weeks, you've been thinking that you might have a secret admirer, and you're absolutely right. They'll let it slip today, in a very minor way -- so minor, in fact, that if you weren't as sharp as you are, and if you didn't pay attention as well as you do, you might never notice it. As it is, you'll need to decide whether to ignore it or have some fun, and this, of course, depends upon your relationship status.

Ayun. Nananatili ang aking pananampalataya, sana si "Backstreet Guy" yan ng Ateneo. But no, alam kong masamang maging ilusyonada. haha. Therefore, I'm assuming na ang aking secret admirer ay si Bam Aquino. Bam, aminin mo na, Di naman magbabago ang pagtingin ko sayo e. Hahaha. Sino pa ba, si Bamboo? Payn, si CHad ng One Tree Hill. Last na ito, ang pinaka-posible kasi na secret admirer ko ay si... uhmm. Ayoko sabihin, kinikilig ako bigla. Nakakadiri ito.

I shall go to Market Market tomorrow to buy stuff for a couple of Kris Kringles (or Monito Monita). Andami ko yata sinalihan na Kris Kringle, mamumulubi ako nito. Argh. Kelangan na talaga makuha ang credit card na yan.

Pagpasensyahan nyo na kung di deep ang aking entry for the day. Buong linggo na akong seryoso, kelangan ko naman ngumiti ng konti.

Not All Conflicts are Empty Soap Operas

Because of my life's uncertainty, I've been diverting my attention to what THE STARS have to say about me. Malay natin matulungan nya ako diba? hehe.

Sun in Taurus

When Eunice was born, the Sun was in the sign Taurus, the Earth Person. Eunice has a gift for simplicity and a distaste for unnecessary drama. She prefers and can offer peace, stability, and a healthy attitude toward the physical dimensions of existence. Taurean energy appreciates a mate who can luxuriate in the senses. If a relationship becomes too emotionally Byzantine, deprives Eunice of too much sensory input, or cuts her off from the world of nature for too long, Eunice may become as fidgety as an unexercised racehorse. Intimacy, however, invariably brings up psychological issues in both partners. Eunice may need to remember that not all conflicts are empty soap operas --some of them are quite legitimate, and working through them calmly can improve a relationship.

It's weird but I find these things to "swak". I find it hard to take conversations seriously because I dont know how to react to certain situations. I find some "heart to heart talks" shallow because I'm not really a fan of really cheesy stuff. I am learning, I am learning...

Daily Horoscope

A coworker who's been tossing suggestive glances your way is about to make it quite clear to you that they're not just kidding around. They're serious about getting to know you. It's all up to you now, if you're interested.

Aba, aba, aba... coworker? Hmm, I'm not working e. Does this mean that this is someone from the law school? Hmmm.. let's go Backstreet guy! hahaha. Nga pala, I finally found him in friendster. At I found really cute pics pa of him and his friends. Balik Stalker mode nanaman ba ako? Nakakadiri na ito.

I Love You Sabado...

Parang Telesine.

I needed to post this.. I still cannot get over the fact that the "episode" that we had last night/ morning was like a scene from One Tree Hill or The OC or Ed. Kahit kaming dalawa na nag-uusap ng masinsinan ay natawa na lamang.

Scene no. 1: I was on my way to going home... he went out of Starbs and asked me if I was going home. I looked at him (searching look) and said yes. He said he was gonna be out around 1am. Naisip ni babae, konti na lang ang panahon ay patapos na istoryang ito. Natahimk ng sandali, half smile pareho. "Pano, bye na." Sabay may emotional big hug. Un tipo ng hug na nakikita mo na ang ibig sabihin ay.. "Tapos na. Magkikita pa tayo pero tapos na ang storya." Un tipo ng hug na napapapikit ang bidang babae at ang bidang lalaki naman ay may mild squeeze na nagsasabing, "Take care."

Scene no. 2: (shempre nagkahintayan parin) the dreaded awkward silence inside the car... I was looking out the window while he was driving. There was an attempt to finally get the conversation going but it was to no avail. I was biting my nails. He was talking about how I have hurt him with my words. Dapat nag-uusap in third person. Un tipong, "Pero masakit naman para sa lalaki na un na un ang naisip mo tungkol sa kanya diba?" sasagot ang babae na, "Pero you have to understand na nasulat lang nya un dahil un ang nararamdaman nya nun panahon na un. Writers are supposed to be exaggerated." Kahit na alam naman nila na silang dalawa lang naman ang subject ng usapan. Yan ang tinatawag na "kunwari ibang tao ang pinaguusapan natin para mas madali tayo makapagsalita."

Scene no. 3: Ito ang "So, paano?" moment. Tumigil na ang kotse. Wala parin napagusapan. Di parin settled ang lahat. Ang babae ay titingin sa lalaki, nakatikom ang bibig na may konting ngiti.. Un ngiti na di pang masaya. Tahimik parin. Ito ung, "Siguro hanggang dito na lang talaga." moment. Tatango ang babae at lalabas ng kotse. May pahabol na "Goodbye Miss Ever Optimist".
Scene 4: Magkakausap sa cellphone. Ito ay pagkatapos na bumaba ng babae sa kotse. Sasabihin nya, " I still dont understand." Sasabihin ni lalake, "Do you wanna talk?" Tahimik ulit. Nagtanungan kung nasan ang isa't isa. Napagdesisyunan na kelangan na tapusin dahil WALA NANG IBANG PANAHON. Ito na ang nakakadiring linya ng babae sa driver... "Manong, balik po tayo..." Bababa sa sinasakyan at hinahanap ang kotse ni lalake. Tapos sasakay uli. Umpisa nanaman ng drama.

Scene 5: Essential na mag-park sa parking lot (ng McDo) para tapusin ang "conversation." Shemps kelangan naluluha luha tayo habang nag-uusap. Meron din paghaplos sa likuran at ang mabilisang pagtatama ng mga kamay. At pagkatapos ng mahabang dramahan. UMULAN. Opo... unbelievable pero UMULAN. Pelikulang-pelikula. Good job.

Scene 6: Ihahatid sa bahay si babae. Pagdating sa kanyang bahay ay magpapark muli sa harap. Katahimikan. Pasalamatan. Matatawa na lang sa kadramahan ng isa't-isa. Maiisip na di naman pala ganun kalala ang sitwasyon. Shempre matatapos ito ng isang akap. Ito un mas "final" na akap. Akap ng makaibigan na nagkaintindihan na. Umuulan parin.
-----------
Sino ang mag-aakala na nangyayari ito sa totoong buhay? Sa tingin ko ay isa itong practice para sa aking future career in showbusiness. Hanggang ngayon kahit na medyo malungkot un napag-usapan, napapangiti parin ako sa kakornihan nun sitwasyon. Alam kong mababasa mo ito. Sana natatawa ka rin. It wasnt that bad. At least, pag nagkaron tayo ng chance na maisapelikula ang buhay natin, sigurado nang kasama ka sa storya ko at kasama ako sa storya mo. Ang hiling ko lang, kung saka-sakali, ako ang papiliin mo ng artistang gaganap ng aking role. Mahirap na, baka di sya magaling at di mabigyan ng justice ang pagkaperpekto ng mga MOMENTS na un.
