Everyday’s an Adventure

"Saan ka ba umuuwi?"

"Sa Cavite."

"Huwaaaaat?!" o_0

Haha. I always receive the same reaction whenever I tell people that I don’t stay at a dorm/boarding house and that I commute everyday from QC to my house. Well, commuting does cost a lot of my time and money, and yes, it does mean facing heavy traffic, pollution, perverty manongs, snatchers, etc., but then, I’m a homebuddy at heart — for me there’s just no place like home. ^^ and besides, commuting provides me my daily adventure… And I get to meet all sorts of people along the way. The following is an article I encountered while browsing peyups.com. Not that I could relate to it (HAHA. Right. -_-;), but it’s really an amusing read.. ^^

Sadness… T_T

Huhu… Wendy has left the Philippines. T.T
Bye Wendy… We’ll miss you~~

Christmas is just around the corner…

…And I thought I ought to spruce my desktop up a little. Here’s my Christmasy Inuyasha screeny:

Korean Drama Special~

[WARNING: Mild to severe forms of cheesiness follows.]

        Picture this - a rose having its petals plucked out, one by one. In the same way, that is how I’m feeling–like I’m losing a very important part of me, and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

        Okay, let me tell you what I’m really babbling about. Some of the people dear to me are about to go faraway - back to their land of kimchi. It’s happened before, and it’s happening again.

        Korean SFC (Stuent for Christ) missionaries–they come and go. Like I’ve said, all this has happened before, and it’s always sad to depart from people you’ve grown fond of. But now, time seems to be running extra fast. Within this month and the next, at least three people would be leaving. T.T

        Belle, who by far, is one of the brightest I’ve met (she speaks Japanese.. not to mention Tagalog ala siga sa kanto! haha kawaii ^o^) is leaving tomorrow, Sunday. It’s a real pity, because I would have loved to know her more. I stole  got the photo on the right from her cyworld minihompy…

       
Anyway, Kuya Puno is also leaving in the next month or so (it depends on his parents’ decision, hehe), and I feel so sorry about this too. His hardwork and dedication have proven invaluable to UP-SFC, and to PSFC as a whole. In fact, it’s hard for me to imagine UP-SFC without him in it. I look up to him for his wisdom and humility–all of which comes from God. ^^

       
Another person set to leave next month is Wendy, who happens to be my favorite among the koreans (I hope the others won’t get tampo though).. Hahaha! I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because whenever you’re with her, you don’t have to do much talking - and yet you’d still feel like you’ve just had the best conversation ever! Haha. Reminds me of the the slogan of Smart Communications, "Simply amazing." Anyway, when she leaves, I’ll probably never see her face-to-face again. T.T Oh, the idea alone of not getting to pinch her cheek depresses me. T.T

         And just when I thought all that were enough to make me feel blue, then comes the news that either Hannah or John (18th batch missionaries) could be re-assigned to another chapter. I’m certainly hoping that it wouldn’t be so, since UP-SFC needs all the support it could get from the aldols. Besides that, I don’t want to lose touch with any of the two - No, I can’t afford another goodbye. T.T

My Tama-log

By ‘tama-log’ I meant ‘tamagotchi log,’ in case you didn’t know. And if you still do not know what ‘tamagotchi’ is, well… That’s your problem, haha. Just kidding. It’s a handy virtual pet thingy - think Neopets in pixels. ^^

Anyway, I’ve been playing it for quite a while now, so I made this log to keep track of my pets’ progress. As you can see, the pet evolves from a baby to an adult, and it’s species will depend on how you care for it. Haha. I know you may think that all this is childish, but hey! I don’t care!

Gen 1: Inu

****

Inu the Pyonkotchi at age 9, married (hehe!) a Wooltchi.

After producing an offspring, she left for Tamatown.

***

 

Gen 2: Hazel (named after a character from Saiyuki Reload Gunlock, hehe)

Argh. And just when I thought I would finally have the cute Mametchi , I got the pangit decotchi instead. She looks like Frankenstein’s monster. >.<

That’s all for now. Will update later. ^^

EDIT: Umm… My tamagotchi had run out of batteries… And it looks like I had run out of interest as well. I truly have a short-attention span. =.=;; Oh well, at least I did manage to grow a Mametchi, the pet I wanted to have. ^^ After accomplishing that, I started to become bored with it.kk Looks like this would be the first and last tama-log post. *sighs* (Btw, dear reader~ if you want the toy, I’ll give it to you at half the price! P500 lang. haha.)

Indeed, Events run in packs…

"…events were cowards: they didn’t occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out… all at once.”

-Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere

The past few days have been a blur of events. I’m either too a.) stupid b.) lazy or c.) both to write at length, so i’ll just make a crappy list of what’s been happening, and possibly revise it sometime later. Just so I can say I’ve been blogging again.

~*~ I’ve quit my part-time job. Mainly because I already earned enough money to buy that book by Neil Gaiman (which, until now, I haven’t finished yet!) and also because I just don’t have time anymore… Events run in packs, indeed.

~*~ I was actually thinking that I’ll have it easy this semester because I’m only taking 15 units plus a PE subject. But, heck, since all of those 15 units I’m taking are majors, they’re really keeping me busy these days. When could I ever find time to do nothing, then? No time to do nothing. Haha. Oh wait… That wasn’t funny. <_<

~*~ Let’s see… I have two more term papers to submit for my semantics class, another two for my intro to english studies class, one for my syntax class, a report each for my phonology, syntax, and intro to english studies classes, oh, and a ton more of readings for my anglo-am lit. class. what a bummer!! T.T With all these things to do, I can’t even feed my Neopets! Poor Xanthiere!

~*~ Right now, you’re probably thinking, "why don’t you just stop complaining and do what you have to do!" Well… That’s what my conscience’s telling me. I told it to "shut up, can’t you see i haven’t blogged in ages?!"

~*~ Oh well, all foolishness must come to an end. See all the insanity that happens when I’m hungry?

~*~ By the way, Pluto is no longer Pluto. It’s now just asteroid # 134340. As if that’s of any importance to me. Bah, I’m just being random. AHH, I really should get myself something to eat. Buhbye.

Acknowledgements… ^__^

My heartfelt thanks go out to all those who wished me a happy birthday… For a while, it took my mind off the fact that i’m aging… T.T Yikes, i’m 19 na. This is the last year of my teen-hood! ahhh!!!

Thanks to my family, h.s friends, my SFC family, and other friends who took the time to greet me and wish me well. God bless you all. ^____^

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…

…Lorraine the slob is snoring!! Haha… Yes, classes have been suspended since Monday. And that’s
because of the bagyong Gloria… Glenda, I mean.  Anyway, I’m just here to post pics from the lister’s night held last July 23 at Robinson’s Galleria (Sayang, wala sina Roiella at Lia!!)… Got to see the guys of Hale again.. Ehehehe.. At syempre wasted nanaman ako! x__x

Updates from my so-called life… :)

w*sighs* It’s really great that classes got suspended today… I mean, who wants to school anyway? But the thing is, I can’t sulk (and eat! sleep! eat! sleep!) in my boarding house the whole day because right now I’m working part-time as a tutor for Korean children. That means I still have to commute despite the heavy rains, getting myself soaked each time. Hmpf.

———————————————————————————————————-

Did you believe what I just mentioned? That’s right…  Me. Working. hahaha, I know, I don’t believe it myself. ^.^ Finally I’m earning money on my own. I can finally buy Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (my parents won’t give me extra money for it)! hahaha Now, if only Mr. Armanni (my, uh, boss) would raise my meager salary….

———————————————————————————————————-

Mmm. Maybe that’s all for now. Gotta do my homework. hihi

———————————————————————————————————-

By the way, I had this strange dream last night that I had, for some reason or manner I don’t remember, killed someone. Woah! You people should probably stay away from me for a while…hehehe. ^__^;; I actually looked it up on the net, and I learned that it was probably due to stress.. But I’m not stressed. Really! And I’m not psychopathic either! Ha! However, this information could be the possible explanation to it: To dream that you have committed a murder, indicates that you are putting an end to an old habit and your former ways of thinking. The subconscious works in mysterious ways indeed. Oh well.

A Summer Wasted.

No summer class.

No summer job.

No driving lessons.

No hanging out with friends.

No Puerto Gallera trip.

No nothing!

A summer wasted indeed.

Now it’s back to school. Atleast I was one of the lucky 7 who were able to shift into the English department.
