Marianne: Mamahalin mo parin ako kahit na malaki un braso ko?
Palits: Kahit maging kasing-tigas pa ng palu-palo yan.
Marianne: Kahit maging lumba-lumba ako?
Palits: Matagal ka nang lumba-lumba... pero kahit maging balyena ka pa!

Ana and Pi, di ako magpapatalo... Dont give me that look! Yes, I chose to watch Close To You over Brokeback Mountan and Pink Panther. But only because I refuse to be emotional, and I refuse to think and uhmm, I can't get enough of the song... uhmm, I dunno the title... basta. "Oh why wont you smile my only star..."

John Lloyd's adorable. I'm not gonna say anything intellectual because there is nothing intellectual about the film. T'was funny. Ayun. Na-bother lang ako kasi the whole time, tinutukso nila si Bea na mataba, eh di kaya sya mataba. Kaya maraming nagiging anorexic at bulemic eh!

I got to chat with my charming buddy Sam. He's putting up his own resto at Pearl Drive and he's really excited about it. The resto's gonna be serving Indian food! Haay, IT'S ABOUT TIME! 'tis gonna open in three weeks, therefore... May bagong resto na MUST-TRY. It's nice to know that my friends are growing and are finding their passion. It always gives me positive energy to pursue MY OWN PASSION. Basta.

Last Saturday was my sister's JS Prom. That's why I went home early, besides the fact that I was soooo sleepy. I didnt want to miss the opportunity to see her being the beautiful sister that she is. Nakaka-proud. In fairness, ang ganda na ng kapatid ko. At ang masaklap, SEXY sya. Opo, isa syang skinny, model-like entity. Ako lumba-lumba. Payn.

Gotta continue my brainstorming for the Legal Writing presentation. Hay, andami pinapagawa! Special Power of Attorney, Minutes of the Meeting at ang revision ng What is an Ateneo Lawyer essay. Not to mention that our Logic Paper on Fallcies' due next week. Argh. Busy busy busy.

I still am affected by the Leyte Tragedy. Ang bigat sa dibdib.

Congrats to Viloria for winning his Boxing Match. Sikat ang Pinoy!

Kapiling sa Palasyo

"God was with us when we did it. --- Group One Theology

Our Theo report was a complete success!!! Congratulations to Group One: Human Rights for simply ACING IT! Hats off to everyone who gave everything they can for the report. Just the thought of people appreciating everything that we prepared for really made my day. We're so glad that we at least made our classmates happy during the 30 minutes that we conquered the stage. Ayon nga kay Fr. Mangulabnan, "Natural na natural." Wooohoo! We nailed it.

If you guys are interested to get a hold of our "VCD", uhmm.. contact Shem. Haha. [Shem, pressure, i-edit na natin un vcd un may kasamang "behind the scenes"]

(I was trying to upload the pictures but I'm too tired to wait for it.. so next time na lang.)

Let's go UP!

I went to the UP Fair the 2nd time this week. We just felt that we needed to celebrate because of our report's success. [Nakahanap ng dahilan!] Shem went shopping again. At ako? Na-harass lang naman sa isang pulutong ng mga kalalakihang im sure di taga-UP na bigla na lang nag-emerge nang ang minamahal ko nang si Bamboo ang nagpe-perform. Nakakalungkot na kelangan ko silang maamoy at kelangan nila ako masiksik kung kailan namang kailangan ko sanang mag-concentrate sa aking minamahal. Oh well Rockwell. Got to eat ISAW muli.. ayon nga kay Shem, "Guys.. I WANT ISAW" (Say it the Assumptioooon way,hehe) Lea and Ces got tattooes. Natupad ni Lea ang kanyang pangarap este pantasya, piangkaguluhan sya ng mga kalalakihan habang nagpapa-tattoo sya. Masaya, masaya.

Ano ang di masaya? Nasira ko din ang phone ni Mel. Un Memory Card ko pala ang infected ng virus. Ayun na, so nun tina-transfer ko un contacts ko, bigla na lamang ding nag general system error ang phone ni Mel. Good job PAKING BAYRUS!

Keri lang.

How did I celebrate my Valentine's? Simple lang. I rocked with Ces, Ana and Haze at the UP FAir! Woohoo.

I bumped into Japhet this afternoon. Keri naman pala. It's all good. Basta.

Ayon sa kwento nila Pi at Ces, topakin ang mga tao kanina. I came to a conclusion na it must be because I wasnt there to make them feel happy. Ayy feelingera talaga.

Da best un kwento nila about sa pagpapanic ng mga tao dahil wala ako. Ito daw ang mga paraan na naisip nila para ma-contact ako. [Dahil nga my phone gave up on me] Laughtrip talaga.

1. Hanapin ang landline number ko sa directory. So nag-net sila.
2. Hanapin ang address ko sa net, pero mahihirapan sila dahil maraming Monsod sa mundo.
PERO AND PANALO AY....

3. Pumunta sa kanto na binabaan ko pag hinahatid nila ako at magtanong-tanong sa mga tricycle driver kung alam nila kung saan ang bahay ko.

Laughtrip. Popular kid e no?

Pero buti na lag naisip nila na imposibleng di ako dumating. At buti na lang naisip nila na nasa Starbucks lang ako. Hay naku, mga topak kayo!

Nasira ko din ang phone ni Mel. Un memory card ko yata ang may virus. Buti na lang binackup ko muna un memory ng phone nya bago ko tinransfer un mga contacts ko. Oh well. Shit ALWAYS happens.

Theo reporting later... STEP UP!! hehe. Let's go "Kapiling sa Palasyo" actors and actresses... Woohoo!

Last na lang...

I was left alone last night because Ana and Shem went home early. Shem didnt have a choice and the reason why Ana had to go home was "nasisikipan sya sa damit nya". Ayun.

While I was reading my Oblicon cases, a familiar face emerged. T'was Mr. Tijam. Ang saya, at least nagkaron ako ng kadaldalan kahit sandali. In fairness tawa lang kami ng tawa. He was waiting for his friend Jen, whom I got introduced to. Natuwa ako sa aming conversation at mejo nagliwanag ang aking kasing-gloomy ng Oblicon na gabi. Salamat mga unexpected guests. Apir.

Natawa ako dahil ayon kay TJ, tumakbo raw sya sa Student Council in the past. BIgla ko nanaman namiss ang UP, ang ECOSOC tambayan at ang lahat ng mga taong konektado sa Peyups. Haaaay. Muntik na nga nila ako ni Jen mapapayag na makipag-inuman na lang sa kanila. Pero buti na lang nanaig ang kabutihan sa kasamaan, nanatili ako sa Starbucks upang basahin ang mga kasong naghihintay.

Next time na lang mga kapatid. Next time.

At bago ako umuwi ay nilapitan ko ang aking bagong drinking buddy na si Ann(e?)...

O sya. Tatahimik na'po.

Bring it on!

Lew: Do you wanna join the Speed Dating event tomorrow night?
Euns: What time and where?
Lew: 9 sa Teehankee.
Euns: Sino kasama ko? (mahina lang) Pero di ako maganda!

Seryoso, nakakatakot. Di ako maganda...

(nang ibinalita ko sa aking mga friendly friends)
Euns: Guys, gusto nyo sumama sa Speed Dating event tomorrow? Ininvite kasi ko ni Lew e.
Melo: Go ka na!
Euns: Pero di ako maganda!
Melo: Sasaksakin ko ito e.
Friends: Friendly ka naman.
Euns: (sa isip) Thanks guys.
Ana: May redeeming factor ka naman.
Ces: Magpatawa ka na lang. Malakas naman loob mo e.
EUns: ( sa isip lang) Thanks guys.
Haze: Go na. Tapos ikwento mo samin.
Euns: (sa isip lang parin) Thanks guys.

Nakakatawa. hehe.

Balentayms nanaman. Oh well Rockwell.

What are the chances na un CAB na sinakyan ko papunta Ateneo na nagpatugtog ng "Para Sa'yo ang Laban Na'to" ni Pacquiao ay sya ring CAB na masasakyan ko pauwi? Creepy.

I hate Mongkok. I hate Mongkok. I hate Mongkok. Basta.

Ah hija, on deck ka sa Oblicon at Consti bukas. Tigilan mo na ang pagb-blog.

Hindi ito tula.

Mula sa bula

ay nalula sa wala
Maling akala
hiling sa mga tala
Lumala nang lumala
dilang alila
walang napala
humukay ang pala
di na nadala
tinuloy paggambala
ikaw ang may sala
wag nang tumingala
kantahin ang tula

Lumala! lala! lala! lala!
lalalalalalalala.

Madaldal ako ngayon dahil...

ayoko tumahimik.

Fallacy of begging the question ito!!

Speaking of Fallacies, lemme present to you the picture of my new fave law school professor...

Atty Obieta

Another source of joy. Just when I thought I'll forever be bored with my daily routine, God gave me another thing to look forward to in law school. I just sooo enjoy Logic because of his really witty remarks. Aprub!

uyy, mukhang antukin..

Sa totoo lang...

... napaka-jologs ng buhay ko.

Last Monday:

1. I was buying my stock of colorful highlighter at Office Warehouse and just when I was about to fall in line, it seemed like OFFICE WAREHOUSE was the place to be and an unusually long line emerged in front of me.

2. While waiting for my turn, Ana was waiting outside. We were desperately trying to communicate so I was raising one of my brows, smiling and giving her the "what are you talking about?" look when I saw the guard smile. To my surprise and understanding, the guard thought I was actually smiling at him. Uhmm, "Manong? Did you really think we were flirting?" Jus ko po.

3. After 10 years, I was still in line and right when I was next, the woman before me's credit card just refused to work.

4. The woman before the woman before me (ok, im being incoherent, i dont care), returned to demand that she be given her receipt. They spent MORE TIME looking for the VERY VALUABLE receipt only to come up with a solution... reprint the receipt. Thank you very much.

Today:

1. I was supposed to watch a flick with my buddy, Angel. Voila, I forgot to charge my phone. Wasn't able to use it the whole day. Nobody brought a charger. Saya. I didnt play badminton pa. Mas masaya.

2. I'm kind of ok with the idea of spending another Valentine's day with my friends. But uhmm, one of my barista friends had to ask me, "Eunice, anong plano mo sa Valentine's? Dalin mo naman dito un date mo."... At napaisip ako, gusto ko pala ng date para sa Rockin' Revival. Therefore...

3. Ah, Kay firmly believes that ... "Waiters never treat her nicely whenever she's with me." I dont know what the rationale behind her conclusion is, but I still think it's sooo effin' funny that she thinks that way.

4. This is the nth time that Pi and I wore tops with the same color. Ang creepy na.

.........

Ang jologs talaga ng buhay ko.

Joke of the day:

Loi: Erap, use Deduct, Defense, Defeat and Detail in a sentence.
Erap: Deduct jumped over Defense. Defeat first then Detail.

Leche ka Ana, laughtrip kung laughtrip.

Ito pa ang mas jologs,
Nasa Starbs si Heart Evangelista kanina.
Sabi ni Ana, ang alam daw nyang may birthday ng Feb at si John Prats lang.. sabi ko...
"Pati si Heart!" Matter of factly. Jologs talaga.

Si Shem, nag-download ng bagong kanta. PARA SA'YO ANG LABAN NA'TO by Manny Pacquiao. Amps!

Bumped into Richard Gutierrez while frolickin' at "OUR POWERPLANT" and I said to myself... "Next Captain Barbel! Yihee."

Panalong Conversation:

Euns: Father, next week pa po un report diba?
Fr. Mangulabnan: Akala ko bukas na? (with a funny-looking stare)
Euns: Wala po kayong sinabi!
Fr: Nagjo-joke lang ako.
Euns: Mabuti naman po dahil kung bukas na po un, TANGING MGA SARILI LANG NAMIN ANG AMING MAIAALAY.
Fr: That's more than enough.
Euns: Aww, group hug.

Yun na.

New Addiction

I found two new addictions,
(1) answering Tickle Premium Tests and
(2) browsing through Multiply sites to download songs and to just read what other people's lives look like.

I dunno, it's just that lately I've been experiencing a bad case of discontent. It's not the "im-serious-i-dont-like-my-life" kind of discontent but it's more like the "isnt-there-anything-new?" type. My first new addiction is proving to be more productive because I get to learn more about myself. It's the second addiction that's gonna get me in trouble...

I just realized that my profile will appear in the sites that I checked out. Now, my identity will be revealed unto them and they shall forever be bothered by this creepy, stalker-material woman who's been lurking and reading her way to their not-so-privy lives. It just fascinates me that these people are connected to me. We have "common friends" and the more amazing realization is... We may become friends in the future. Ang saya no?

When did I come into the realization that it's an addiction? When I realized that I actually spent time reading their blogs, looking at their pictures and knowing more about them. I am a very curious person. I just hope Camille Prats, KC Concepcion and Francis Magalona will not find it odd when they see my face in their sites. Nakakadiri!

To the victims of my idiosyncrasy, fear not... I don't bite!

Ateneo School of Law BAD CLUB

Feb. 3, 2006 @ Pioneer Center

Above All... T'was a Tragedy.

I woke up this afternoon [yeah, i overslept, again!] to the voice of Manang Inday, our laundry woman. She was getting the dirty clothes from my room when my half-awake mind overheard her saying something like, "Manood ka ng TV 'nice, kedaming namatay sa ULTRA..." I was so startled by the word NAMATAY that I instinctively got out of bed and turned my TV on.

I all of a sudden remembered that my brother left this morning and I had no idea where he's headed. For a split second I felt fear. He goes to ULTRA once in a while because of his sport and since i'm pretty much out of the "loop", I didn't know that the event in ULTRA's Wowowee's First Anniversary. I felt relief when my sister said, "Ate, Wowowee un sa ULTRA, sa tingin mo ba pupunta dun si Kuya?"

I couldn't help but feel bad not only for the victims but also for the production staff of the show. I tried to find out why the stampede happened and there were a lot of hearsays, one of which was that someone from the crowd shouted "bomb!" thus startling the already agitated crowd. But as of the moment, all that the ABS CBN is saying's that the cause of the whole tragedy was the people who were at the back of the "line". They were allegedly pushing and desperately trying to be given the chance to get their passes. However, since the entrance was downward-sloping, the gate which was closed to calm the people down gave in, the people in front fell and the people at the back kept walking and pushing. I could not imagine how scared the children and the old women were. Just thinking of such a horrifying scene makes me close my eyes.

Some people say that this is a reflection of how poverty made the most out of these Filipinos. Some say this is a manifestation of man's desire for wealth. But for me, this is not the time for another finger-pointing, this is not the time for us to put it in the list of "BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR... _____". This is another call for us to be of help, this is a reminder that we never really know what God's plan is... But above all, T'was a tragedy.

Let's pray for the victims.
