NAKAKATAWA

Habang nag-aaral muli sa LSAC at napag-usapan nanaman si BETTER FLAME.

Sev: He's in 2nd year or 3rd year. He drinks coffee, he's sometimes in starbucks.. he seems like he's technostressed. He smokes...
Ona: Mapagkawang-gawa ba sya?
Sev: I don't even know what "mapagkawang-gawa" means!

Un na.

MANUNUPOT

One kwentuhan sa LSAC...

Ona: [blahblahblah] Alam mo un manunupot?
Kookai: Un manunupot, diba un yung nagtutuli?
[LSAC LAUGHTER]
Euns: So, Ona.. ano ba talaga un manunupot?
Ona: Ang manunupot ay un pinangtatakot sa mga bata na nangingidnap at nilalagay sila sa SAKO. Tapos papatayin sila para un dugo nila ay mailagay sa tulay. Nagiging mas matibay daw un tulay pag may dugo ng bata.
Euns: Bakit hindi mananako?
[LSAC LAUGHTER]
Peewee: Oo nga bakit di mananako? Anyway, ibig sabihin maraming napatay na mga bata dahil sa San Juanico Bridge?
Dema: Oo nga, maraming nasaktan na bata un manunupot.
Euns: Tama, maraming dumanak na dugo dahil sa manunupot.
Peewee: Literal na meaning man o un meaning ni Kookai.
[LSAC LAUGHTER]

Grabe, pang-FRIENDS na talaga un mga usapan sa LSAC.

Candy Girl

While I was running around giving the examinees their sugar fix...

Friend: Does it hurt when you are rejected?
Eunice: [silence] Yeah.
Friend: Hassle no?
Eunice: Are we talking about my giving away candies or something else?
Friend: [smile]
Eunice: Hassle nga.

I NEVER DO ANYTHING WELL ANYMORE

"Running around trying to do too much in one day means you never do anything well."

It is dawning on me, the things I do at present are almost all mediocre. They're all half-baked, not as perfect as i want them to be. This is applicable to very aspect of my life, may it be academic, extra-curricular, family... love life. They're all "almost's that are never quite". Law school taught me to let some things go especially if they are out of my control. But I never acknowledged that there are things that are out of my control... their state of not being in my control is just a manifestation of my not doing things the right way. Every situation is a consequence of my choices, my decisions, my acts.

Sabi ko nga. "FATE IS THE PRELUDE TO A DECISION." So far, my decisions leave me exactly where I began... on a threadmill, running around with nowhere to go and no one to go to.

Soembody pull the plug please.

Sabi ni Father...

"When you fail on something, YOU DON'T STOP. You bounce back. The worst thing you can do is decide that you won't do that thing you failed in again and won't try harder to be better."

Ayos. This is what we all need to remember.

A Little Ally McBeal Goes A Long Way

"We''re not only wired to want what we can't have, but we're also wired to want what we really don't want."

Siguro.

"I've been dumped before, Renee. This isn't pain I'm feeling, it's nostalgia."

Hehe.

"Even if I did get past all my problems, I'm just gonna get out and get new ones."

This is so me. Shit. I won't end up alone just like Ally right? Or will I?

Magaling

Sa sobrang tagal mag-start ng "FINALS WEEK" ko, ngayon ko lang na-realize na wala pa pala akong PERMIT.

Magaling, magaling, magaling.

BOOK MOOCH

I read this article in Manila Bulletin by Blooey Singson about the site www.bookmooch.com. It's an online book exchange site wherein you give away your books so you can get books from other people. I am looooving it. The idea is brilliant. People who are looking for books should check it out.

PILITAN PARIN

Friend: Ganito kasi yan, kung lower batch... Pwedeng di pa sya ready for you. Kung 4th year... wag na un, paalis na un e. Kung batchmate natin, tanga na lang un.

Euns: Tanga sya. Pero pwedeng di pa sya ready for me. Definitely di pa sya paalis.
------------
Yet another clue. haha. Fun no? Kasi feeling ko mawawala na sya after finals, so might as well write as many entries about him as possible.

SOURCES OF JOY

I needed some cheering up last night and like an answered prayer, there was an unexpected reunion. I was staring at emptiness, trying to entertain myself through netsurfing when suddenly, half of my SOURCE OF JOY tandem, Mr. Koko Nograles, emerged. His mere presence immediately made me feel better. He treated Ces and I to yet another bucket of beer and while we were catching up, the second half of my SOURCE OF JOY tandem, Mr. Paopao Soriano arrived. Interesting enough, Paopao drank beer with us. That was more than enough for my sort of sad "drama queen" heart.

It was as if God wanted to tell me, "See, I don't want you to feel sad my daughter. I love you too much."

Koko and Paopao. My redundantly named sources of joy. Sa uulitin. I MISS YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH.
