Again. Not that I don't like that place, it's just that a day there was enough for me, but 3 days?

I hate that our school is enforcing us to go to the retreat, like they would always say that we won't get to graduate if we won't attend. What a lame excuse. Yeah, the school is the Royal and Pontifical, Catholic university of the Philippines. Right. Oh yeah, I am living in a democratic country bound in so many contradicting laws to abide. I just couldn't take the risk of not going.

I don't think it's right to make the retreat mandatory, like you have to pass an excuse letter to the administration, and your parents will receive a phonecall from them and stuff. Guess the only people excused are those who aren't Christian.
I am a believer, but not a fanatic. I don't think it's right to push some people to do things against to their beliefs. I don't think one has to go to a quiet/solemn/peaceful place when talking to God. You don't even have to be in a beautiful place. How come people can talk to God at their darkest moments where chaos had finally engulfed their mind and the light of hope seemed so small? It's all in the mind.

Maybe it's a good break away from Facebook and DeviantArt for awhile.

I'll never be at peace. I still have to work on my thesis, and some subjects--textile design folio and a 27x27" painting on queue. I wish the retreat house serves tea and mallows, and oh boy I don't think they do. I wish they have food for frustrated pescetarians. Ugh.

I'll miss you guys. *sniff*

Christmas is just a month away! where are my gifts?

The Maguindanao massacre is just so heartbreaking. As of now there are 40+ bodies recovered from the incident. The victims were comprised of the electorate's relatives, media and friends--some are women and children. I wonder why some people are in so much thirst for money and power.

The talk was about Jean's life and experiences, rather than his working process. It's good that he shared his influences though.
I wasn't able to have my books signed because Fullybooked prioritized those who would buy his books on the venue. Fullybooked could had us informed beforehand through e-mail updates.
Oh well, Jean's artistic presence is far more important, and my friends were with me so it's still fun.

College of St. Benilde's School of Arts and Design building is so high, white and clean! It has an unbelievably tight security, and crazy architecture.
It's so way far ahead from our Fine Arts Building--dirty facilities, broken equipment, sophisticated-turned-ghetto-looking hotel-ish, and has an illogical architecture. Despite all flaws, I learned to love what we have. Our building is way ahead from other buildings in UST though.


I LUFF MARSHMALLOWS. YUM. YUM. YUM.

I'm off to sleep. Good night.

2012 was okay, but it's so sci-fi that it's not life-changing in any way. The only saving grace from me watching it was John Cusack.
Paranormal Activity on the other hand was pretty boring until the last few scenes. It wasn't really frightening, but once you get to imagine you're in the characters' shoes, bam!

I guess I've been blogging a lot lately. I really don't have much time to chat with friends online. Sorry, guys.

Oh no, I'm working too slow. This is bad.

I love tea though. How I wish tea can come par with coffee's caffeine content.
MILK TEA I WANT NAO.... but [link] ... what?!?

I'm not yet done with my 2nd cup of coffee, and I'm pretty tired to work so I'll just go to sleep then.

I really have to finish two sample illustrations before 3 am tomorrow since I have to sleep and wake up early for James Jean's talk + I have to make my thesis adviser approve my illustrations in the afternoon.
Dear Lord, please make every good thing possible. Amen.

Unfinished coffee + Sleep = Morning headache & a busy day.

Good night... err, good morning!

It's not decaf, and I'm not tired.
I even expected a headache this morning, but I was left disappointed. Hah!

Thanks to that, I wasn't able to finish the illustration I've been doing for like a couple of days now.

It'll be impending doom if the coffee will not work for me.

I'm rarely interested with anybody, and it sucks, but I guess it's better than 'liking' everybody and talking at their back. And it sucks that I'm too blunt.
I'd really like to be sweet, but people find me angry most of the time. My Aesthetics class really made me think. Looking at my drawings made me wonder who I really am.

I enjoy illustrating my thesis... for now.
04 out of 26 final comprehensive illustrations done. Ugh.

For now, I got to get some sleep. I have to attend my thesis class 5 hours from now. Ugh.

I'm pretty excited for James Jean's talk on Monday.
Oh well, gotta cut class first thing in the morning... 2nd out of 4 allowable absences. Ugh.

Iced tea-holic. Ugh.

As a kid, it's surprising that I never drew on walls. Not that my parents prohibited me from doing that but I guess it never really crossed my mind at all. But I used to draw on my storybooks, mostly stick figures and scribbles.

I remember winning a crayon-coloring contest in the 1st grade. It was a drawing of a clown -- back then I guess I wasn't yet afraid of clowns. My eldest brother taught me how to color well using crayons (maybe because I sucked.) Pretty glad he did. As a child, I really loved coloring. If memory serves me right, our neighbor gave a me a huge coloring book. I liked it so much that I ignore my friends when they call me out to play with them.

Aside from myself, no one in my family took any Art-related course, but all of them can draw well. May be for that reason, they never really thought of sending me to art workshops, and never helped me on my art assignments at all. Before I went to college, I didn't even know how to use charcoal and different kind of paints. It was a a bit overwhelming learning them though.

No one in my family encouraged nor discouraged me to take Fine Arts in college. They were pretty fine with it but there were times they would question me if I'm happy or tired with what I'm doing. But there were times I overheard some of my relatives and family friends tell that I should've taken Nursing or Business Management because they think that there's no money in art. I always believed that if I do well, LOVE what I do and be great, I'll always make a decent living.

Anime and manga was a trend here in the Philippines in the late 90s, pretty much exposed to it since 1996 until now, and may be for that reason that it influenced my works a lot. I wanted to get away from it so there was a year that I tried to stop from browsing related works, but was unsuccessful. I acknowledged the fact that I cannot let go of my roots.

Welcoming different art styles and movements helped me improve my skills and try new things. Honestly, I'm tired of doing just manga-style drawings, and girls. I love painting, but it takes so much time to come up with a work that I like and I only have a limited time to really work on a piece. But after graduation I'll go paint, paint, PAINT!!! And make animations! Whooohoooo.

Last July, I met someone who never liked the idea of just having one style. At some point, I realized that having a certain style may help an artist be known, but I'd rather be known because of my versatility. Being able to work on different styles can help you venture on new things, different media, and that makes life more exciting. I guess I never liked doing the same things over and over again.

My love for Audrey Kawasaki's works may have subsided, and some other artists who always does the same things but I'll always like their stuff.

I'm happy for other people's good fortune --- it's amazing how other people's luck can put a big grin on my face. It's weird how much I'm really glad for them. *sheds tears of joy*

I'm a very proud friend right now.

I'm feeling lucky right now. Tsk.

I understand the 40-year gap between my mom and I, but she's just too much. I never asked and expected for any encouragement from her, so to nag and blame me for something I am not in control with annoys me a lot.

I got 3.0 on my 1st semester thesis, something really unexpected. I told her that my adviser will explain the details on Monday and I still got to hear his side before I can go mad, but mom firmly said that she won't accept 3.0 for a grade, like I should never have a grade like that ever.

I did what I could, and I pretty much believe that I don't deserve that grade at all, but I have to stay calm --- even if it took me 2 weeks to fully accept that I can no longer run for the cum laude thing. In arts, the skill you have in executing and accomplishing you work is far more important than grades. Ugh.

Ice cream please.

My new schedule sucks and my body clock isn't ready for it. I dislike night classes. No fun at all.

Gawsh, there'll be no breakfast for me this morning -- eat brunch perhaps before I leave for school. Too bad I have to make my own meals this morning. Ack, I absolutely dislike cooking if I'm the only one to eat what I'll make.

And whether I like it or nawt, coffee will be my best friend for the next 4 months. Energy drinks were never an option. Coke, chocolate, and tea aren't any help.
And I got to remind myself to drink coffee 2 hours before I work because it really sucks that I only drink when I'm at my edge.

Oh dear, I gotta learn how to drink coffee the way adults want it in the morning. And I'm only 19, but I feel so old now. I was way happier with coffee when I was 16 and only had a few deadlines to meet.

- The longest time I talked with someone on the phone is around 14 hours.

- I like black pepper much so whenever it suits well with what I eat at the moment, I put a lot.

- I had 13 cats when I was 10 years old. Mom ditched them down to 2.

- I like Kino no Tabi A LOT. Very timeless.

- I like artsy nude a lot. Very enticing.

- I like children's books a lot but I'm not fond of children.

- James Jean is one of my illustration gods. Give me any of his books and I will love your forever. LOL.

- Coffee = deadlines. Not that I dislike drinking coffee, it's just that there was a time that coffee no longer worked to wake me up.

- I was happier when I was 16 years old.

- I LIKE CATS A LOT.

My friends and I are going out to buy James Jean's postcard book after the enrollment, and may be hang-out for a bit or grab something to munch before going home. I'm craving for vanilla ice cream right now, but it's so cold! Brrrrrr. It just doesn't feel so right to have some fun with this kind of weather.

The weather is perfect for cuddling though, just like my friend said.
There's no one to cuddle with --- so it's time for my pillow to do it's job. *CUDDLEPILLOWATTACK* Brrrrrrr.

I'm not exactly fond of children's books because I like children. I actually don't, but I like the idea of making something for them, something that would perhaps change them to be better people in the future.

And oh, I was not deprived of children's books as a child. I have a lot actually, although they're mostly fairytales which I still totally dig in right now. Some were Disneyfied stuff, and I also have an old Adarna Book. If i remember it right, it was published in around late 80s or early 90s. It was really old, but it still in spankin' good condition. the printing is not actually great, but it's a good story. I can't seem to remember the title though

Actually, I'm more into the illustrations. Local children's books are cheap finds, but they're also really nice references for students like me, especially now that i'm taking on my thesis for children's book illustration. And it's also nice to support local illustrators and authors, and really, I don't buy them because I know some of them. I really dig for real skills and valuable content.

I really don't have the time to read novels right now so I really don't bother myself to buy them. Good finds are everywhere and i'm sure it's not really hard to find titles sometime in the future. I love bargain bookstores. They rock.

+ Zeus gave me 4 of his illustrated children's books: Bakawan (Adarna House); Alamat ng Gagamba, Alamat ng Palay & Sikat ang Mommy Ko (Lampara Books). Shameless plugging!

I saw some familiar faces sa SMX... illustrators, authors, and Kuya Kim! Matanglawin!!
I also had the chance to have my books signed by Zuzi and May Ann Licudine. Coolness.


Ang INK's book: Mga Tambay sa Tabi-tabi! is available at MIBF. It isn't launched yet but hopefully we'll see copies on bookstore shelves soon. It's a cute reference book about mythological creatures. My name is in there, but i really didn't draw anything. I sent a concept drawing to Leo though
Please buy our book!

----

I'm going to go back to SMX later. See you guys at the book fair!

I can't remember when was the last time I actually enjoyed drawing. I'm glad I'm enjoying it right now.
I love this feeling. Feeling ko naka-drugs ako.

Gawsh, looking at other people's artworks is getting on my nerves!
It really feels weird when your creative energy is stenching inside and you just can't release it elesewhere.
School plates aren't helping. Even if I'm trying to love what I'm doing, it's not really keeping myself together. My compositions are rather disoriented. Uuuugghhh.
If there's anything I want to do right now, it's to draw something not related to school.

I still have a lot of things to do!! Deadlines suck. Time management sucks. Art school sucks. Thesis sucks.

I'll be painting a 2 x 3 feet canvas tomorrow. I hope I can finish it before Wednesday next week. And I have to start doing my digital illustration. These two are my prelims in Composition and CGD, to be submitted for the Shell Competition.

I wish i could just paint and draw for a living. well, that's not really practical unless i'm kickass great.

A new sketchpad d'be great. Imma buy soon.
And I want a new set of markers, but I don't have any money for it right now.

Stay hungry, stay foolish!

and because i'm awake and all, contemplating is good idea. or a bad one. i'm really confused right now, believe me.

i'm struggling right now. i know that my problems are not as terribly difficult compared to the rest of the world population. i think these are the struggles of growing up. or growing old, to make it right.

i don't think i'd like to draw for the rest of my life. i don't want to be a struggling artist. i'm very grateful for this god-given talent but my passion for art is very low. whenever i think that i'm going to graduate soon and get a job, i feel very insecure.
maybe i'm not really confident with the things that i do. maybe i'm just fooling myself that i'm satisfied with what i know and have right now. i feel so emo. ORZ.

being a leader in adprac kills my brain. my face was really priceless when i found out that there was no one to rely on. sorry guys, but honestly i felt very negative about that. despite such thoughts, i will still do my best and do my hardest to make our group pass adprac. there's no way i will take summer classes. i'm going to have OJT this summer no matter what! i will not fail this friggin mission. i'm a turk. ayt.

and yes i will prove to you that i will be able to do a packaging design for a set of a dinner plate, saucer and tea cup.

and i really want to learn japanese badly. i know a few stuff, but i need to get to the point that i can actually understand tough kanji. yes, i hate those effin strokes, but i will really hate the world if i have to study chinese.
i really wanted to become a polyglot. i think that's really cool.
and after college, i really want to study again.
i want to travel the world just like what my papa did. maybe it's in my veins! haha i speak nonsense. i should really go to sleep.

what if i wasn't really for the arts? i'm not really confident with my language skills but what if...
man, i'm confused.

oh dear people, please pray for me that i will pass adprac! >_<

have you ever been trapped in a situation where you're trying you're best to cling on to your pride, sanity and emotions, and yet the turnout of events were still uncontrollable? it was damn hard. i had never been afraid like that. now i know how traumatized people felt. i was at the verge of breakdown and yet i was holding on because of pride.
who would have thought that a stonehead like me would not be able to contain it any longer. the person who repressed in front of passers by while softly cursing to remind thyself that sanity is still intact. that was damn embarassing.

i can't believe myself that i just told someone what was going on with my twisted mind, and realized later how stupid i was to tell it. it didn't matter because she was mature and my friend, though i just showed a person my weakest point and i hate it.

hell that it wasn't the fucking hormones.
this is a very emotional entry. but fuck, it's my journal.

i have decided to make something out of my fear. fear should have an image of being functional aside from making people afraid.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows

um friends, blockmates or whoever.. basta kilala nyo na mga sarili nyo na nagsabing manonood kayo ng EJ. here's the linkeee....

[link]

Over at Tanghalang Pilipino, EJ: Ang Pinagdaanang Buhay nina Evelio Javier at Edgar Jopson opens February 15.

Written by Palanca awardee Ed Maranan and directed by Chris Millado, EJ places two modern-day heroes face-to-face.

Jett Pangan plays Ed Jopson, the president of the National Union of Students of the Philippines when martial law was declared. Ricky Davao assumes the role of Evelio Javier, governor of Antique, who refused to kowtow to the ruling party.

With music by the Dawn, EJ is a play that the idealistic youth will most certainly relate with, and it’s a history lesson for those who weren’t around then, so go!

EJ runs at Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater) at these dates: February 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and March 1, 7, and 8 at 8 p.m. and February 16, 17, 23, 24, and March 1, 2, 8, and 9 at 3 p.m.

Tickets are at P600 (regular) and P300 (students). Get them through Ticketworld (8919999) or through Tanghalang Pilipino (832 3661 and 832 1125 locals 1620/1621).

so much to do, so little time. if i could just neglect the priorities that i do not want to prioritize. if i could live life like a boho, and forget the rest of the world except for myself, then i guess i would feel alright. too bad for being not a social animal. too bad for being drowned into mainstream.

if thoughts could kill, i probably could have killed anyone who pisses me off.

please let me not turn pessimistic this time. again.
i'm so fucked up. blame teh hormones.

the institution visit went well. gawd. san ka naman nakakita ng children's service home sa isang street ng puro motels. yung sa sta.mesa. tingin ko most of you guys napadaan na rin don. ilang beses na akong nakadaan dun at sobrang wallflower ang institution na yon. how funny ang katabi nun ay ang ligaya motel.

some of my NSTP-mates were good in rendering and some were not. and there's this annoying girl who paints stuff for no reason and we have to fix it and make it look connected to the mural. anyway, the mural is done so it doesn't matter now.

honestly, hindi sakin importante ang cultural heritage. di makuha sa simple logic ng utak ko. siguro wala talaga akong pakialam sa identity o past ng isang bagay. importante sakin kung saan mabubuhay ng masaya at comfortable ang mga tao. di talaga ako mahilig sa mga tourist destination.

my experience at helping do the backdrop for the rock musical, EJ was fun. i was pretty overwhelmed since i haven't done much back in the past and didn't enjoy it as much as i enjoyed what i've done there. i'm impressed with the carpenters, they really work fast than what i have expected. uber coolness.

gawd, i don't know how to get rid of the worm that is infesting our PC.
fucking v-God.

i believe in coincidences but not in destiny.
although sometimes i wonder if they're just the same.


//sunday//

darn CWTS. my muscles ache like they want to burst out of my body. they feel like screaming. i don't like working at all, but i was willing to help despite one of the reasons why i did it was to get a good grade. i knew it's not good but i didn't like the idea that some villagers from the GK site were abusive. i wish i could scream //child labor//, but that was not possible.

watched Dancer in the Dark. it's a really good film.
even the plot was a bit predictable, the turnover of events still gave me a fright.
bjork might be one of the weirdest personalities alive, but i am still fond of her haha.
loved how they scenes were shot.
oh yes, we should //listen to our heart//, but could we be rational once in a while? because not all the time our hearts are right. it is possible that we're simply driven by our emotions.

"a child genetically predisposed to alcholism is four times more likely to become an alcohol dependent, no matter what environment he grows up in." - joselito pascual M.D. men's health mag dec 2006

quite true for me, ne. and oh, who said i like liquor? i didn't like it at all. it's just that my throat accepts it like water. it's in the genes lol.


i've been in a lot of ups and downs at the last quarter of last year, causing me to just let things go according to what others'liking. i already had enough of that. i don't know if it's my freakin hormones doing these thinking and i'm out of control, but i'm quite glad that i'm quite on track again.
good thing i was reminded of the good ol'times. watching kino no tabi woke me from the deep slumber of absurdities.
i'm still trying to know what i want with my life. i guess it's hard to stay still with conclusions. every now and then, i have a lot of questions in mind that i just let go unanswered. guess knowing the answers didn't matter at all.
and the idea of becoming an adult.. yes, i didn't like it at all, believing that once a child accepts to be an adult, there's no turning back. it's sad because there's nothing i could do about it.
abut really, i think things doesn't matter as long as it doesn't harm my sanity.
i think i'll live like kino because i love her. /at kung tibo man ako gusto ko xa maging gurlfrend ko. sayang sana naging boi nalang xa ahuhuhuhu./


sometimes i wonder if most people are hopelessly in love. most songs are about being in love or about heartbreak. i'm madly sick of it. it's starting to get on my nerves and it's freaking annoying. for pete's sake, people, get a life or maybe start a career.
but really, am i too smart to understand them or they're just idiots? yes, people can express themselves if they're in love or they're heartbroken, but they are freakin blind with the idea that anything like those cannot cease to exist in their system once in a while. i maybe a career woman and love doesn't in my list of to think of, but i quite understand that without love, there will be nothing to think of but only for their survival.


i dislike artists who think they're special just because they're artists. god, you guys should get a brain. each being is special because each has his or her own talents and capabilities to make use of in their own field. i kind'a wonder why is it so difficult for them to understand. a lot of them say, "oh, they don't understand me because they're not artists, they don't know anything about art." yeah, sure. the hell do you know anything about the complexities of mathematics or of science. i bet you won't even give a damn. it's because it's not your field of expertise, so far from your interests. unless one is open-minded enough to welcome other things in their own shallow brains, really. yadayada.


and i also dislike feminists. just because they are being maltreated by men and norm doesn't mean they could be dominant and aggressive and do the things that they want. and yadayada usual feminists thing. i believe in fuckin' equality even if there is not such thing.


just watched American Idol. the guy who composed and sang, "We're Brothers Forever" gave me and the rest of my family a LSS. lol.
and gods, where the hell did you get chef gordon ramsey? he's like the ultimate 'i don't care if you came to my restaurant to eat and pay for it no matter how much it costs but i want it perfect~' kind of chef.


and oh, i heart simon cowell and gordon ramsey. lol.
they're like gregory house who came to life.


i miss duduy and ji-kun.

<sub>Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say your right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has.

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
its coming round again.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?

hands down ako kay sir buen.
"HINDI NA TAYO
GAGAWA. TAPOS NA ANG POSTMODERN
MGA UNGGOY!"

i even forgot the title of the exhibit at some point. and when i sat nearly infront of the statement and stared as if the world was nearly at the state of being in chaos, i finally realized that i was fooled by my own self, by not thinking at all. i wasn't even sure at first so i shared my thoughts with cheilo. it really is an "Idiot Show for Idiot People."

it is so contradicting. even sir buen's whitewash shirt is also contradicting.

kainis si sir torres di nya sinabi samin hahahaha. alam naman pala nya from the start pa. lol. idiota talaga kami.

the Manila Peninsula Siege was such an idiotic act. they should have thought of a good strategy. it was such a lame excuse to say that they submitted theirselves to the authority because they didn't want to harm anybody. they already did enough harm. if they were to plan something, they should do it with no doubt at all even if they have to harm the public!
and media sensationalized the incident which they should have not done at all.
and almost everybody panicked because of the friggin curfew! geeez, GMA is just scared. the administration is just scared. and somehow, i thought that it was just plotted by the administration and used Sen. Trillanes to do the friggin act to put the entire metro manila and the other regions under the state of emergency.

and while everybody was panicking and our mothers were damn worried about us, we were at KFC and then in CCP not knowing we're being fooled by our own selves.

di ko kelangan ng isang university ng maganda lang sa name. di ko kelangan mabahala sa bulok na sistema ng college, ng admin man or ng SC. tamang STD lang yan at konting swerte. haynako.

Humihingi lang ng pamasko. and there was this kid who live in the slums in front of our compound and he approached me begging alms for christmas. how could that kid's parents let him think like that? grrrr.

buti pa nung bata ako, christmas felt really good and wished it was always christmas then. dati masaya pang iswitch off ang ilaw tuwing may nangangaroling at laging puno ng christmas programs ang TV lalo na ng classic cartoons. masaya kasi yung mga kamag-anak namin kami ang christmas destination. haynako.

groupie... may naalala tuloy ako. lol.

gawsh. i don't know if i could still last sir *a**r**'s annoying attitude. it's as if he's making a fool out of us. grrr. every wednesday and friday feel ko napapasabak kami sa role namin as an employee, graphic designer and sales executive, at xempre xa ang boss, art director and the client. at kamusta naman ang working hours?!? 5 hours per day, pero since di exactly nagstastart on time plus yung mahaba nyang seremonyas ng lectures at side stories, longest na ang 2 1/2 hours for work at pinapapass nya 30 minutes before the time. grrr. guess i'm not ready for that but i think it's a good discipline for bums like us. once, naisip kong idrop yung subject. di cute kasi sa clearance yung F eh buti nang idrop nalang. kaso pag nag give up naman ako para kong inadmit na di ko kaya, di ko xa kaya, saka sus ayoko na patulan yon, parang nasa ala-menopausal stage na yun. tas sinabi pa ni sir *l**e* that we're underestimating them. of course not! kala mo naman tinuro ni sir yung dapat nyang ituro last year. unless talagang dapat namin talaga sila iunderestimate. sila rin kasi inaunderestimate kami. pero xempre din, both sides at are fault.

sabi nga ni sir j, "Ang studyante ang bida sa loob ng paaralan.. hindi ang guro... kung walang studyante... walang tuturuan ang mga guro. Kung walang guro... may nanay, mga libro at may realidad na kung saan madaling matututo pa din ang mga bata. Hindi diyos ang mga guro... hindi kami diyos. kaya wala kaming karapatan na ibaba ang mga studyante. kahit sobrang kulit pa nyan."

after 10 years, ngayon lang ako nakakuha ng 3. at least hindi 5. "what is it for you?" ika nga ni kuya mike. hindi big deal yon for me since di naman nasusukat ang galing sa grades pero xempre pag nagtrabaho ka di naman sila diyos para malaman kung anu ka talaga. haynako naman. what a life.
