Hum. This is a random post, no? I'll make this short and quick. :D
First of all, I tripped this morning on my way back to my room. Yeah. Clumsy and all. Haha. But I didn't get scraped or something...
I'm creating another layout and this time it's Kogepan-themed. Well, I sort of put off the woman thing.
I don't know what day I'll go home this week. Friday? Or Saturday?
I think I'm going to miss my first Lantern Parade. Instead, we'l watch Ligligang Parul on December 19, 2009 at Robinson's Starmills in San Fernando. :)
Oh, and from now on, I think I'll be posting my expenses for the week. Haha!Labels: random, stuff, updates

This is a poem we read for English 11. It's a sad, sad poem and I really love it. Here it is:
Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

Il Postino tells the story of a postman who befriends the exiled Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda. It's a touching tale of friendship and love that will touch anyone's heart. This is one of my favorite movies. :)Labels: il postino 1994, italian, massimo troisi, movie, movie review, pablo neruda, the postman 1994

PIG out day.
Whoa yeah. You read that right. I've been trying to somehow lose the weight I gained from three (?) weeks vacation with walking to and from my classes. Well, it's all been put to waste today. I still feel so full. But I don't feel like burping. Meh.
Anyway, here's some of the stuff that I ate:
Breakfast:
2 plates of pancit
macaroni salad
a slice of White Forest cake with lotsa white chocolate
water
Lunch:
pancit palabok
5 to 6 pieces of squash tempura (yummy!)
sauteed veggies with strips of ham
4 pieces of lechon manok
two small slices of cassava cake
a glass of RC Cola
(NO RICE!)
Dinner:
spaghetti
1 piece of roast beef
3 pieces of beef with gravy
chicken fillet (I got teh one with the wishbone!)
buko pandan
1 glass of Coke
(Again... NO RICE!)
Yup yup. ^^,
*pats stomach*
Not to mention that we had a little dinner party last night for my birthday. XD So faaaaaaat...Labels: food, random, yum

So yeah. After some moments of extreme meditation, here it is.
Unang stanza:
Naalala ko'ng suot mo nung una
Naglalakad at nang makita ka
Nasabing, "Pwede tayo."
At lahat ng iyong ginagawa
Ngumingiti tuwing naalala
Ngayo'y wala na nga ba
Koro:
At tunay ngang
'Di ko kayang iwan ka
At tayong dal'wa'y sa isa't isa
Marami pang oras
Upang isipin ang hinaharap
Pero ngayon pa lang alam na ang bukas
Naisip bagay tayong dal'wa
Ikalawang stanza:
Naalala ko'ng hubog ng 'yong mukha
Ang labi mo't iyong mga mata
Hindi na malimutan
Tuwing ipipikit aking mata
Ikaw lang ang aking nakikita
Ngayo'y naniniwala
Koro:
Na tunay ngang
'Di ko kayang iwan ka
At tayong dal'wa'y sa isa't isa
Marami pang oras
Upang isipin ang hinaharap
Pero ngayon pa lang alam na ang bukas
Naisip bagay tayong dal'wa
Naalala ko'ng suot mo nung una
Naglalakad at nang makita ka...
Koro:
Na tunay ngang
'Di ko kayang iwan ka
At tayong dal'wa'y sa isa't isa
Marami pang oras
Upang isipin ang hinaharap
Pero ngayon pa lang alam na ang bukas
At naisip oooooh...
'Di ko kayang iwan ka
At tayong dal'wa'y sa isa't isa
Marami pang oras
Upang isipin ang hinaharap
At nalaman lang tapos na ang lahat
Bagay tayong dal'wa
Bagay tayong dal'wa

Wa-wa-wait!
Lemme post this for a while...
OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'LL BE ABLE TO SEE CLARENCE EVERY WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS! OMG! KAS 2 IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE! LOL.
Oookay. My Kas 2 room is PH 414 and my class ends in 11:30am. Clarence's room is PH 420 (Philo 10 - hurrah for the CRS search engine) and his class starts at 11:30am. I am sooooooooooooo HAPPEEEEEEEEE! XD
I actually got to meet him (no talk XP) coming up the stairs to-day. <3Labels: blah, crazy, post

Ooookay. This is crazy. My P.E. is Scrabble and we're still required to buy P.E. uniforms? Like WTH... On the other hand, I still get the consolation of getting another U.P. souvenir. :)

Lingg 1 was fun today. We had a lot of laughs. Mr. Hernandez is a nicety nice teacher. :)) No, really. The subject is interesting, in particular. Why? Because language is unconscious and we never really think about what happens inside our mouth when we utter a particular sound. It's just so amazing, nee? Maybe you'll understand if you take the course. ;)
Kas 2 is... Okay, I guess. It isn't as boring as Kas 1 but whatever... It's history and it's not very likeable. XD
We had no classes for Eng 11 because Ms. Mata was sick.
November 19, 2009 is a very baaaaad day for me. Ged.
I had my first day of the thing-that-only-happens-to-women-once-a-month. My abdomen hurts so much and it chanced that it was the day for our major subject, Journ 100, which lasts for three hours (because we meet once a week). I was so shaking with pain that I can't really concentrate to what Ms. Tangi was saying. Thankfully, though, after going to the bathroom once to do who-knows-what I felt better. Haha.
Journ 100 was okay but it's history so I'm not that giddy... And the requirements... Book review with a minimum of 5 pages... An essay with a minimum of 7 pages for a final paper... First long quiz on December 17, day before the Lantern Parade... Reporting... GAH!! And the person who reported our topic last semester was the one who got the highest grade of 1.50, I think... 1.50! Highest grade! I am SHOCKed. XP
Anyway, life still goes on. I'm feeling good about Math 1 and Scrabble. Dunno why. XD

Lingg 1 is reaaaaaaally fun! Mr. Hernandez is a great teacher and the stuff he says is really interesting. I'm looking forward to more of Lingg 1 in the future. Also, Sharmaine and Fabz are two people I really enjoy talking to. We could talk about almost anything (mostly anime, though). Lingg 1 really got me thinking about language and all that shizz.
Okay. Kas 2 is boring. Like always.
We don't have Eng 11 to-day because Ms. Mata is sick... Which is probably because I prayed for it last Wednesday. XP
Anyway, because of that, I got to go home early. Yaaaaay! Buh-bye, dorm!Labels: up life

Okay. It was a great novel, but it had the tendency of dropping off all of a sudden and leaving the reader in mid-air (in my case, that is). It doesn't use a lot of scientific language which probably makes it such a great read for non-scientific people. Haha! Anyway, H.G. Wells created a realistic universe and I agree with what the Children of the Food decided in the end 'cause it remains true, to this day. Over all, it's a nice book but probably not one I'd recommend to "new" readers.Labels: book, book review, h.g. wells, science fiction, the food of the gods

... And because there's nothing really worthwhile to write about, I'll just blog about my laptop a.k.a. Omoi-chan.
My laptop's brand is Fujitsu Siemens. It's screen is roughly 14 x 10 inches and the resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels. It's pretty large and I carry it around using my dad's backpack which has a specific place for storing huge laptops.
The name "Omoi-chan" stuck because, as you can see, it's quite large. The word omoi in Japanese means "heavy."
I bring my laptop to school every week and store it inside my trusty cabinet. I currently have no fear of Omoi-chan's being stolen because my corridor mates have arguably better laptops (Acer, Apple, Vaio, etc.). But I still love my Omoi-chan because it carries all the stuff that I need and hold dear.
Even if you'll give me a brand new Apple laptop in exchange for my laptop, I don't think I'll give it to you.
