Taran Taran!

The need for survival brings out the wackiest ideas. The other day, I was with Hazel and we were waiting for the dinner that she ordered in Good Earth. We were having our usual conversation when we were rudely interrupted by this guy who came from nowhere. He just began to talk about how we can actually be of help to him and his organization. His speech was obviously memorized because he delivered it flawlessly in a disturbing sort of way. He spoke straight, awkward English.

I didnt really get everything he said but I managed to catch what he calls the product that he's endorsing. It's the "TARAN TARAN ballpen". I was so dumbfounded that the only thing I managed to say in retaliation to his interruption was, "Nagjo-joke ka ba?" But in the end, since I'm like my Dad in many many ways, I didnt have the heart to say NO to something which is allegedly for a "Good Cause". My other friends sort of teased me for paying 60 pesos for this amazing taran taran ballpen and even made me realize that for all I know it may not be for a good cause. I just told them that at least my intention was clear and if in fact it's for a good cause then I wouldnt be stopped by a suspicion without any substantial evidence from being a part of it. And of course there's always a catch.. i actually had two reasons why I bought the TARAN TARAN ballpen, the first one's NOBLE because I really wanna help but the second reason was more selfish. It made me laugh. I cracked when I found out what TARAN TARAN means.

The TARAN TARAN Ballpen is not your average ballpen. It has a "secret feature". It has a "PULLOUT CALENDAR". You maybe wondering what TARAN TARAN has got to do with it. Well, the guy illustrated it pretty well. All you have to do is to pullout the calendar in a snappy kind of way and shout with feelings, "TARAN!". Yes, with FEELINGS. Pull and shout. Pull and shout.

Everybody now. [Pull] and shout... TARAN! It really made my night worth it. Astig. Nakatulong na ako, natuwa pa ako. Astig.

IBANG TEST NAmAN MUNA..

Eunice, when it comes to second chances, you're a Believer

Maybe you've seen some strange things in your day. Or maybe you're just a spiritual person. Perhaps you want to keep your options open. Any way you slice it, you believe there's something more to life than just breathing and eating.

Open-minded and optimistic, you've got a great energy about you, and friends are likely to feel more centered when you're around. What makes you such a peaceful person? Maybe knowing it's not always your fault when things don't go your way. Or that closed doors often reveal new paths to travel along. Now that's something to believe in!

Eunice, you're looking for a Best Friend

There are many different ways to look at relationships, but for you, finding a best friend, the one person you share everything with, is the most important. Some people focus more on the romantic image of a soul mate to last the span of time, but you probably prefer the reality of making the most of every moment of every day. And who better to live those moments with than someone who's true blue through and through?

The ideal match for you is probably someone who can anticipate the next word out of your mouth and who laughs at the punch line before you even tell it. Chances are it's important to you that they'd expand your circle of friends, introduce you to new places, faces, and experiences, too. Whether this relationship is here for the short- or the long- term, you're a take-it-as-it-comes kind of person, with few expectations or fairytales to live up to. You'd take your constant companion and trusted secret-keeper over a fairy princess or Prince Charming, any day. Whether you realize it or not, there's someone out there who feels the same way about you. Like you, that someone is looking for the one person to be their best friend — both in the bedroom and out.

MIDTERMS

MIDTERMS na. Friends, please do pray for me. I need all the help i can get, may it be physical or spiritual. Human warmth included. Haha. Sobrang lamig sa Starbucks Loft, di sya normal. =)

I am saying sorry to Yvie for laughing when you told us na "Nabangga ang side mirror" mo. I wasnt expecting it to be THAT serious. Argh, talaga namang gulat na gulat kaming lahat nang nakita namin ang damage na na-cause ng iyong "collision with the gate". Di na uli ako nap-pressure, dalawa parin tayong di magd-drive. hehe. Pero ok lang yan, i gave up naman the "DIGIPERM" thing for you. Sa tingin ko mas ok na ikaw muna ang kulot ngayon. Hehe.

Meron akong bagong crush. Pero kelangan ko muna i-confirm ang nararamdaman ko kung handa na ko ipagkalat na crush ko sya. haha.

Sa tingin ko mabubugbog ako any moment for coining the NICKNAME "Ebralinag" for this guy. Natatawa parin ako hanggang ngayon. Stalker Ebralinag. Bwahahaha.

Gotta go. Study time na ulit.

Last Friday, there was a sorta acoustic/ art exhibit night in Starbucks and I won a painting by Richard Tuazon. Please do check his works of art out at the Starbucks Loft... Astig. I really like the "Coffee Escape" painting.

Logical Thinking (repost from Friendster)

One day, Erap sees Pres. Ramos reading a book on logic.

Erap : Fidel, mahirap yata iyang binabasa mong libro.
Ramos : Hindi, logic lang ito, madali lang.
Erap : Ano ba yang logic na yan, hindi ko yata alam yan.
Ramos : Ganito lang yan, may aquarium ka ba sa bahay?
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : Kung may aquarium ka, eh di mahilig ka sa isda.
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : At kung mahilig ka sa isda, mahilig ka rin sa dagat.
Erap: Oo.
Ramos ; Eh di kung mahilig ka sa dagat, gusto mo pumupunta sa beach.
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : At kung mahilig kang pumunta sa beach, mahilig ka sa babaeng naka-bathing suit.
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : Eh kung mahilig ka sa mga seksing babaeng naka-bathing suit, edi lalaking-lalaki ka?
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : Eh kung lalakeng - lalaki ka, eh di macho ka.
Erap : Oo.
Ramos : Kita mo na na, ganyan lang ang logic!
Erap : Okey pala yang logic na yan, ah!

The following day, Erap sees Maceda in the Senate. . .
Erap : Pare,Maceda, susubukan ko lang itong tinuro sa aking logic ni Ramos.
Maceda : Sige nga!
Erap : May aquarium ka ba sa bahay?
Maceda : Wala.
Erap : BAKLA! BAKLA! BAKLA!

this is my way of saying GOODLUCK to 1C for our Logic Midterms. hehe.

Tigilan Na Natin.

They did it again. I was just so glad that Ana was there when it happened. At least I got to share the story, well i didnt have to because she heard their, uhmm, this girl's attempt to fish for info by merely saying his name. Ana also informed me that they continue to tell her stories about him, half-hoping that she'll tell me. Argh, that's just so lame.

Some people just dont get it. Uhmm, guys... STORY'S OVER. Don't look at me like I'm one half of the couple that you thought existed. I am not, I wasn't and I never will be with him. Give it up. And I'm saying it without even a hint of disgust or bitterness, the "US" that you're counting on is not gonna happen. So please stop dropping his name everytime you get the chance, stop inviting me to events with very high chances that I'll bump into him and just stop trying to get the answer to your questions by asking me indirectly. There was no US. We were close friends. We're still friends now. I dunno if we'll continue to be friends in the future. Case closed.
-----------------------

Ana got me into thinking tonight when we had a sorta "heated debate" with regard my "Man-finding" skills. We were having a normal conversation when I jokingly pointed out that, "I dont have time for guys."

She gave me a really judgmental look (hehe!) and said, "You?? Of all people? Only you had the skill to find someone from the small world that we are in." (paraphrased) i was surprised that she said that and so I attempted to discuss it a li'l further.

[paraphrased conversation. couldnt remember the exact words. Ana, feel free to correct me,hehe]
Euns: Me? I didnt look for him! It was just a bet.
Ana: Still, how did it start?
Euns: I found him cute.
Ana: See? Only you can find potential from a "hopeless" situation.
Euns: But please don't say that it was purely me. All I did was to ask for his name and some info. That was it.
Ana: You made the first move.
Euns: It was just a bet.
Ana: But you still did it and it is something that not a lot of women do. Making the first move.
Euns: I didnt plan for it to be something more.
Ana: That's not the point. The point is, you still found a way to start it all.
Euns: Fine. But you must admit it wasn't all me. That was all I did.
Ana: Yeah.
Euns: I didnt come to him. He came to me. He did all the "crucial things"
Ana: It wasnt the point.
Euns: Fine. I was just messing up with the debate.

So I guess I did initiate this whole romantic misfortune that I experienced not too long ago. But I stand firm with my conclusion that "He did most of the things." and that he in a way is guilty of INSTIGATION. He led me to believe that uhmm... ok I am stopping. Basta "FRAUDULENT" sya. Guilty of being in bad faith at that time.

Oo na Ana, compliment sa akin ung "If I want to, I can" accusation ni Ana. Apir.

DOLLY?

It still freaks me out that my life is one overrated soap opera / sitcom. This happened yesterday during that specific time when Mia left me at Starbucks for JUST a FEW MINUTES to go to the Ateneo Law School library. I was desperately trying to study Logic for my 4 o'clock class, my mp3 player was on and i realized that someone was standing and sorta talking beside me. I looked up and saw a caucasian (I dunno if that's politically correct, and there's even nothing political about what happened to me).

Caucasian: (mumbling)
Eunice: What? (with a bewildered/ annoyed/ are you talking to me? look)
Caucasian: Uhmm... Excuse me... Are you Dolly?
Eunice: Nooooo. (with the ARE YOU KIDDiNG ME? tone and the "DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE NAMED DOLLY TO YOU?! look)

And the funnier part was he didnt leave right away and pretended to call someone. I assumed that he was trying to figure out if I was lying and was maybe trying to prove that I'm his date. Argh. What are the chances diba?

It's just sooo effin' weird. I remember that I once was approached in the mall by this sorta hot foreigner guy and followed me around while asking info like, "What's your name and where are you studying." I was scared as hell. And there was also this time while I was shopping and this guy asked me which perfume I would prefer... He even went as far as saying that he was buying it for his mom. Yeah right. Do I look that approachable? It's not like i'm pretty. [ehem fishing. haha. but seriously i'm not!]

Sa aking palagay ay pinaglalaruan talaga ako ng tadhana. Baaaaakiiiit? (Nore Aunor tone)

Pressure. Pressure.

I am the only Senior Parner of DuhPerm who isnt driving. It all started with just Hazel, then Shem began to bring her own car. Now, Melo and Yvie are also gonna be driving. Pressure ito. I was supposed to start driving my Benz this semester when I decided not to because I didnt think i deserve it. It was after I found out that I didn't perform as well as i expected. Parang penitensya ito. Pero nap-pressure na talaga ako. Yvie's gonna drive na tomorrow. Buntong-hininga. Ang pagd-drive lang na nagagawa ko sa ngayon ay mula sa bahay ko hanggang sa simbahan. Parang kailan lang I was driving around Pasig, Ortigas and Taguig... pero ngayon. Haay.

Blonde... James Blonde.

This definitely is the
most hilarious blonde joke
you'll ever read!

Your place or my place?

Last night, naka-score ako kay Paopao (looks at Yves! hehe).

I went "dorm-hopping with two of my now favorite guy friends Pepe and Paopao. I dunno what got into them but they just felt the need to check each other's place out. [Ehem, did I interrupt something? =P] First stop, Pepe's crib. I've been outside his dorm a couple of times but t'was my first time to actually go inside his "____-haven" (supply whatever word you deem to be appropriate, i.e. sex?Just kiddin.) The first thing that I thought of was, "Kaya pala aral na aral lagi si Pepe, talagang yun lang ang magagawa mo sa dorm nya." which I actually meant to be a good thing. He has a cutie ref, and lotsa lotsa "law books". His place screams VERBATIM. Hehe. Nice place. I found out that most of the people who live ther are also from Ateneo. Pepe's surrounded by his "idol" law students. Haha. Di halata na maraming mga kasalanan na nangyayari dito. Paopao ang I still think that he was hiding a naked woman somewhere in his dorm. We just weren't able to find her, magaling si Pepe magtago e.

Then we hopped to Paopao's sanctuary. All I can say is that his place is huge! At least for a law student who lives alone. I sooooo love his mini-library because there are a lot of really interesting books there. Plus, he practically has more books in Economics than a "poser-economics grad" like myself. Nakakapanliit. But wait, there's more! (tonong pang-Home TV Shopping) He also has books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Umberto Eco, Oscar Wilde... hay heaven syang talaga for a book enthusiast/ feeling intellectual na loka-lokang katulad ko. Atig si Paopao, may potential pa un place nya na maging mas ok, dapat talaga mag-hire sya ng interior designer. Hehe. What's the best part about his place? He literally has a "some kind of a gym". The works pare! Grabe pao, mahal ka na namin lalo. At sikat sya sa mga kachokaran nya sa labas. I wouldn't be surprised if I'll see "Attorney Pao" having a drinking spree with 'em one of these days.

I totally enjoyed my sorta adventure with Pepay and Paopao whom i shall now call the the P Brothers for lack of more creative ideas. Thanks mah-P bros for the ride home y'all! Oo na, I cant really pull off my talking the ghetto way. I'll stop.

P.S.

I got to recite na for ObliCon and I feel good about it. For the first time in ages it felt like I got to answer quite a number of her questions, may sablay sa dulo but it's all good... I'm beginning to get the hang of it. As in seryoso.

Koko, I miss your being a source of joy too!!! But don't worry, Paopao's doing a great job filling in the loss that you created when you left. Obviously, he's now No. 1 in my Source of Joy list. =P But you're already in my "Wall of Fame" for being an Honorary Source of Joy. You're always with us naman in spirit. Ehem, invite us to go to Davao... willing kami magbakasyon. Haha.
