The Law and Economics of Lust, Love and Life

I'm way Past my Past.. so I'm saying PASS!

Sometimes you click with a person, and it just doesn't go anywhere. Chalk it up to a new experience, but don't obsess. These things don't always work out, so don't waste time overanalyzing it.

I must admit, i have not fully recovered from everything that happened in the past week. I am missing a friend right now. I dont know if we can still go back to the way we were, but i hope it's still possible.

Dont let your past determine you. - Fr. Mangulabnan

T'was automatic, Pepe gave me am "i know you can relate look" while i gave him a "Tumigil ka kung di masasaktan ka" look. But yeah, I guess i will never believe that with unshaken faith. My past will definitely have a say at who i am at present and at who i will be in the future. I'm forever scarred.

Funny quote for the day:
"I dont have to remind you this because it's in the book... The only reason why I'm reminding you is because I know you dont read the book." - Sir Obieta, Logic Professor

I'm loving my Logic prof, he's witty and he has a way to get our attention. Magaling magaling.

I feel so drained after answering a 6-page questionnaire on the topic of morality. Until now, i still do not understand the concept of being moral that fully. I think people just pretend that they know what is right and what is wrong because they dont want to get looks that says, "you're a sinner" coming from people who like them are just posing... Morality is a very vague concept, that's why it's a concept damn it.

I am not a moral person. Far from it. But i do know that my not being moral does not get in the way of me being able to live my life without hurting other people. Could that be morality? Not caring about the standards set by the shitty society and in effect ositively affecting the lives of the people that surround you? I dunno, dont ask me. Im pretty screwed up myself. Argh.

I wanna go to the Music SUmmit for AIDS tonight. It brings back a lot of memories. Yeah, not happy ones but wadda heck, i can laugh all i want now. I'm on the right track. Im happy again. Thank YOU for making me smile. Wanna know who that YOU is? That's ME. Myself and I.

(nah, thank YOU still. Let's keep it a secret. You are making me smile.. thank you for coming back just when someone left. Astig ka!)

Salamat sa Lahat -lahat.

I saw BSB 1 today, i think he was running late for class. Whatta way to start my day diba? Sulit. Then I got to recite for Obligations and Contracts, it turned out pretty ok. I must comment Richard for being that "theater person" that he is... pati narin si Nalin. Astig kayong dalawa! Went to Starbs to study for an hour before my Constitutional Law 2 class... I got called. I was doing pretty fine, when Fr. Bernas asked about "Stop and Frisk". I froze, scanned my brain for what I read and I was so sure that it wasn't assigned. I was softly telling myself, "Shit... No. 10. No. 10." because Stop and Frisk is no.10 in our book, we were assigned to read no.8 which is about Warrantless Arrests. I wasnt able to answer the question, i didnt have the courage to say that it wasnt assigned but my fate turned when Pam got called. I owe her big time. She told Fr. Bernas that it wasnt assigned and that he should give me another chance. I was more than happy to oblige. After reciting Mengote, I recited Go vs. Court of Appeals. Whew.

I had dinner with Duh Perm today, it's the first day of our exchanging of gifts. We had dinner at Pancake House.. Koko also "made habol". haha.. Then we headed to Starbucks for the exchange. I got a box of Chocolates because my MOMMY's/DADDY's favorite flick is Forrest Gump. I'm so happy that my "BABY" appreciated my gift. At least the effort that i exerted in finding the perfect gift paid off.

Sayang. Bon treated my bestest friends to dinner at Mang Jimmy's. When i talked to Bon, i found out that he didnt expect Sam to say yes to the proposal of going to Mang Jimmy's. Jan sya nagkamali! Japhet, AM, Sam and Abby were all there. I got to talk to them on the phone. Hay nakakamiss. Si Teepee niloko ako about a certain secret na di dapat malaman ng isang tao... buti na lang di nya talaga alam. Panic mode na sana ako kasi kung kelan tapos na, tsaka naman malalaman pa nya diba?

Quote of the Day from my Eternal Source of Joy Koko:

"The only thing that never stops from giving is STD."
(a comment on FHM sex guru's suggestion that the gift should be something that encourages nonstop giving )

Ang sakit ng katawan ko. Maaga pa ko bukas. I need to go to sleep. Nga pala, ang aking mga kaibigan ay may nadevelop na yatang obsession sa panghuhula. Kanina, ayon sa panghuhula "the Hazel way" meron daw akong mutual "attraction" with someone.. kaya lang may humahadlang na lalaki. Argh. Ano nanaman ba ito? Hehe.

Kaya ko ito. Makukuha ko rin si BSB. Ayon nga kay Pepe, SILENCIO DE GALAW!

Yvie, im so sorry that you didnt receive anything today. Dear, dont get too upset. Im sure babawi un nakabunot sayo.

I thought of a catchy line for a novel that I'm working on.. it's actually a breakup line that'll be uttered by my protagonist.

"Honey, it's ok to talk about your problems once in a while. ONCE IN A WHILE being the operative phrase."

------------------------------

Ayon nga pala kay Ana, masaya sya na natapos ang isang storya ng buhay ko ng ganito. Kasi daw parang magiging miserable ako sa piling nya. Ayun, she got a glimpse of who I will be if ever I'll be spending more time with this person. SAD. Tama sya. Tama sya.
---------
I still cannot feel the SPIRIT of Christmas. Haay. Bakit kaya? Pero for the first time in ages, i can say that I AM ONCE AGAIN HAPPY. Salamat Lord. Salamat friends.

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.
