FATE, IS IT?
i think it is fate that whenever i start to settle in and feel part of a group, it always ends sooner or later, mine own doing or otherwise.

UNREAL
eh.... i wonder why everyone likes to see the 'real' in everything. i know, no one wants to see false things, but there is a misconception among people about what 'real' is regarding other people. there are people who see the pure, the unadulterated, those not yet tainted as 'unreal'. if someone smiles at a problem coming his/her way, people tend to see it as 'escapist', when actually it is that person's way of dealing with life. if a person pretends to not notice anything bad around him, people are inclined to see him/her as apathetic, when in reality he/she silently observes, takes note, thinks of what to do. if tears are not shed when many an excruciating blow has been struck, the person is already labeled as 'manhid'(unfeeling). if someone does not give in to the pleasures of the mundane, he/she is labeled as a coward. this is a common phenomenon among people, the thought-compensation thinking. if someone displays a positive trait when people around simply give up(which is positive in itself), the people who give up think that the said person is actually faking it.
why can't we try to EVALUATE, instead of just taking a shortcut at everything and declaring that it's automatically unreal?

ANGST, EH?
the paper that calls itself 'the philippine collegian'(according to nefarious :P professor danilo arao) really is one big joke. look, there's the pre-teen writings by micheline rama! and the paper's slow conversion into being socio-politically aware is ruined by her angst-pretending-to-be-not-angst-yet-in-reality-is-blather-of-someone-not-yet-menstruating.
aaaargh. no, she does harm to the environment by putting the trees cut down for paper to waste. i think she was battered and beaten to a pulp as a kid. and now she takes it out on everyone else. she makes okray the UP people, its peeps, and even the UAAP team! i wonder why an ingrata like that is even in this school. badmouthing the system of things in UP even while she's still here! la hija de...
i could curse and swear here, but it wouldn't look nice, would it? yes?

JUST FOR LAUGHS
I've known that Engrish.com is a good place for a good laugh session, but here's one that really tickled me pink. I never thought Chinese names would be so useful for English purposes:
Yeah, yeah, I know what it is for...

FICTIONAL POST 1
"Cats, I've told you a thousand times, the staff will be much safer in my hands."
Yeah, I've heard that like a thousand times, but my twin brother Hero just doesn't know when to give up. Ever since father gave me the staff as proof of being firstborn he has coveted the rights that I've refused to enjoy.
"Masakatsu, my brother, please give it to me! You yourself said that you don't want those firstborn's rights anyway! I want them! Why won't you relinquish that proof?"
"Like you don't know the power that the staff yields, Masahiro."
The 9-feet baobab staff held great magic within the sapphire set at its tip. One swing of it and I could summon forth elemental spirits that I had captured and sealed within it. The technique to sealing it was, of course, a family secret.
"But you don't use it! If you don't then why not let me?"
"You already have your own staff with which you could seal and summon spirits. One is already enough. I'm sorry, but I'll keep this."
"Then I'll take it by force! I will show no mercy, even if you are my brother!"
And then he recited a stanza,
Maen nanakh allillu,
Aist bain mukh nanakhup muwal--
I knew the nature of the spirit. Bain meant that the element was Light. He was going to use the power of Light!
--fra mallioph niris, I call on the power of Crusader Theophilus XIX! Heaven's Judgment!
And rays of light shot out to strike me with a ferocious speed. I managed to dodge the first one, but the succeeding ones were not as forgiving.
To be continued...

you're much smarter than i give you credit for, buster. first you create an account that is different from yours, and after el presidente jed tells you something about the part one of this post you post a bulletin on friendster making it all seem like a joke. funny. i guess i got carried away. but the luscher psychological color test cannot lie. at least it cannot lie if you did not lie to me. you have tendencies. hah. so much for being concerned and then after that making me look like a fool. nice. anyway, should you need help i'm still here. i'm still here.

MAY BE THE (SLEEPING) BEAUTY OR THE (SLEEPING) BEAST
[song on my mind] -- adia by sarah mclachlan
[film watched last tuesday] -- old boy
i never knew there was such a thing as bad sleep. for me it is just a long sleep, a short sleep, sleep with interruptions full or half-conscious, or no sleep at all, but never an uncomfy sleep for me.
ah, but datu was twisting and tossing and turning last night, making lizard like tsp, tsp sounds and sending out nonverbal messages of something like, "will you shut up, lie down on your bed, keep still, and maintain that position until daybreak comes?" i don't know what she really wanted to say. how can i possibly know? she never said anything. i, being the dense person who rarely does anything for a person unless i am asked to, still kept on munching my gas-inducing ding-dong(R) mixed nuts and squirming and making noises like there was no datu on the bed beside mine. i don't know really the cause of her discomfort, but the gay that she was, probably she has had one of those greatly uncomfy monthly dalaws which disturb her sleeping patterns(or lack of it).
maybe the feng shui of the room was not so good. maybe i need to place the trash bag on the tortoise side. :P as if i really believe in such things. maybe the trash bag, which was near her, smelled so foul she couldn't sleep. :P bad feng shui nga. :D

THE NEW LODGER
last tuesday there came a new roommate. name was [majks] -- i'm writing it in IPA because i don't know how to write it orthographic -- at least it sounds like 'mikes'. he's a third year geodetic engineering student. what, geodetic?
i've always wondered what geodetic engineers do besides survey the land with their tripod-looking apparati and an approximately-one-and-a-half-meterstick. but it seems that i could get no answer from him -- the poor guy is as tongue-tied as a mussel.
i've warned him three things about the room. one--that the bed he occupied, the last one left, was underneath a failing ceiling. one night the water literally POURED in torrents that my mattress and my pillow were drenched and had to be dried for several days(don't ask where i slept, though). two--the rat that ran around the room, eating clothes and our stock of noodles. a thorough nuisance even without the problem of the ceiling.
i never told him what the third was, although i wanted to tell him he should be wary of me. i was the third.

HEY VILMA!
last monday was one annoying experience at the cine adarna. well, not THAT annoying. if only it weren't for those vilmanians around me...
the attendance was required of us by professor ed lejano of my film 100 class. it was the gawad plaridel 2005 for excellence in mass commmunication. it was at two in the afternoon, after i have finished cleaning the house and making it spic-and-span, although tired--and in no mood to hear some ear-splitting screams from fanatics of vilma santos. when fred and i arrived at the cine adarna there were almost no seats left, save for those monobloc chairs placed in the midst of those lady sixty-somethings and gays in their forties who certainly had THE LUNGS (and the lack of manners) to scream out a large "WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!" everytime vilma's name was mentioned. all these old women and gays were understandably not learned, and had no capacity to appreciate the intellectual ejaculations of their idol, as was evident during vilma's lecture. they shifted uneasily and talked among themselves while the mass comm people hung on to every word she said. it was even more evident after vilma had delivered her lecture: i was the only one left in the "vilma fanatics" area. no, this post is not meant to criticize the vilmanians or the old women or the gays. it was just that they could have been more civilized.
on a lighter note, kuya ronald was looking handsome there in the usher suit, and Adi, the darling of the film people, looked so much unlike Adi with the barong and all. *naughty grin* Hanep ka Adi, papaano kang naging ganun ka-prominente sa mass comm sa loob lang ng mahigit ng kaunti sa isang taon? isa kang malaking palaisipan sa akin. you are one gregarious freak of nature! hehehe...:P

TO SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT (DON'T GET THE WRONG MESSAGE, I'M TRYING TO HELP)
this is not funny. i tend to take serious everything that's related to suicide, especially if they come from friends. if you suddenly post on your friendster bulletin somthing like "what's wrong with me?" and place a noose for a profile pic on your friendster account it's not funny to me. i'd like to say,"hey, talk to me. maybe i can help you." but then again i'm not really the one person to really talk to in times of depression because i don't know how to tell anyone anything when they are in great grief. conveying feelings of depression leading to suicide to make you look cool doesn't work with me. but if you really are depressed, i am here. if only you would notice me. this summer you have been sending hints of your loss of direction, loneliness, or something deeper than that i just cannot sense. you are one of the best people in UPCB. the org suffers a great loss without you there. and since you are a God-fearing person there is no reason not to turn to Him when things go wrong. you are a chorister, for crying out loud! you don't have to suffer through it alone. that's why you joined the org.
~~don't try to hide that sad countenance behind that hand of Magic cards. everyone in the org is more than willing to listen to what you have to say -- if you would only open up.

IMPECUNIOUS
[song on my mind] -- tell me where it hurts by MYMP
still have no money at hand. there seems to be no dough at the cashier's office yet. what if i, in a moment of serendipity, has found somewhere a glistening five hundred-peso bill? a step-by-step guide to such a situation:
1. is the place a heavily passed-by area? if yes go to step 2. if not, go to step 3.
2. perfect. now grab the bill. someone else will if you don't act fast. what are you waiting for? starbucks na!
3. well, well, hold on a minute. there's no one around, is there? if yes, go to 4. otherwise, go to 5.
4. grab it na! no one will make angal naman eh. and if someone does, pretend that you just innocently picked it up and you really intended to give it to the real owner naman eh. although all of us know it's not true, anyway. but look at the bright side. you've been an angel. :P
5. good. you still have time to ponder whether what you will be doing will be bad or good. do you heed your angel or the devil within? if you heed the angel, go to 6. else go to 7.
6. now make a fool of yourself trying to run around asking everyone if that 500-peso bill is theirs. chances are the first person you come across will tell you it's his/hers.
7. congratulations! it's all yours for the taking. and at least you won't suffer a guilt trip. ^_^treat me! treat me! ^_^
there you have it. a step-by-step guide to what you should be doing should you encounter a 500-peso bill on the road. good luck finding one, and may serendipity lead you to such a situation. :P

TUMMY MATTERS
CAVEAT! This is totally gross. You've been forewarned...

you're still there? i told ya...
a few minutes away from my math 114 class, and a bad case of combined stomach gas and pains and revolutions today, and then you have a sam in the bowels of... movement?
i woke up with a bad case of hong (or japanese kaze or lamig in the vernacular, a condition which produces stomach revolutions) and i went to church at five in the morning praying fervently, Oh Sweet Lord of mine Grant me the perseverance to contain this and if not at least fortitude to own the malodorous...
i managed to release it all after going home though, and vowed that i'd never sleep without any covering to my stomach.
so here ends my post for now. hehehehehe.....

Am the Head of the Department of Poisons and Antidotes of the College of Substances, also doubling as the chief of the Apothecary for the Department of the National Defense. Ahem.
BUT SERIOUSLY
Am a 4th year University of the Philippines student, but currently am a non-major in the College of Mass Communication. I can write, but am really unsure of whether I write well. This is a somewhat faithful version of what I keep in my paper diaries. And yes, I DO write my diaries MANUALLY. I've already filled up thirty-three Papemelroti notebooks, and am on my thirty-four. I love to eat, and boy, my diet sure can pack the pounds on even Palito. I now am planning to reduce weight, but will execute after the hell weeks are over. :D Am planning to shift to either BS Economics or BS Statistics. Wish me luck! :D
