the week has been so haggard. if it wasn't for my positive thinking methods, i would have jumped off kalay's third floor with Erlinda Catering's line of lazy chefs. but no, i am a happy creature of God and the universe, i am alive and well, and typing.


orgy, orgy


after so much drama and lethargy in my life, i decided to finally join an org to perk up my boring extra-kalay living. my buddy, lorraine, has been bugging me ever since to join bannuar. and so since i don't have much neurons and reason to think about the pros and cons of org-joining, i just said yes and here i am, trying to write four scripts for four skits in our talent's night this saturday.


aaargh. me dancing papaya is MURDER. anyways, i have already donned a flashy skirt for more than 10 minutes, there could nothing be worse to do in this life.


in the holy name of your daddy


i love life and i honestly don't think that i am suicidal. that is why i feel so evil to find victory christian fellowship meetings as uber boring and freaky. however, i respect these people who attend VCF meetings. it's just that. err, just freaking get me out of those prayer-slash-worhip mini concerts. aargh.


[sadness note: i forgot to bring my usb cable at home so i won't be able to post the VCF pictures i took. wahaha.]


grand violator


i spent the whole evening [and morning] at jollibee philcoa. it was a long story, but what i could explicitly say is that i violated kalay's curfew just to watch 'sweeney todd' with my 'future' org mates. the movie was good enough, although the only mental pictures i have retained from it are the throat slashing maneuvers of johnny depp. since the movie finished at 12am, we just decided to eat at jollibee, and then due to certain complications, we opted to spend the night there, talking about stuffs and the like.


only two of us stayed in kalay, and so we waited for 7am before going back there. i feel so rule-breaker-ish. which is bad.


from sweeney todd: nothing's gonna hurt you, not while i am here [then depp slashes a throat]


morbid.

i took my uber yummy deliciously finger-licking good trigo exam this afternoon. finally, the exam is over after five days of postponement and a big, big celebration for a 100 year old UP. funny on the end part though, when we were made to graph and i was itching to go home. i panicked to look at the coordinates of my graph all pointing out to zero. shet. that would make my graph a straight line, but graphs of sin function are, like, sinusoidal. good thing i was able to resolve the error. happiness!

there is really something about khaleb shawarma's super addicting shawarma rice. i can't take my cravings, i want it! i WANT shawarma rice! now!

i find having this planner thing from papemelroti handy. now i am able to reduce so much hype and hysteria with my life since i have this neat, goody-good schedules written dandily on brown paper. what's with me and brown papers?! am i not normal?!

last centennial kickoff, i was able to meet my high school friends who have been haggard lately with their college lives. i loved the centennial kickoff. there was something really jubilant and happy about the air. happiness happiness, pure happiness.

hooray.

i'm so happy that i couldn't think of anything to right [ehrr, write].

isn't that nice.

it's only about two months until the school year ends, which means two months in psychology department and i'm free, free, free. happiness. [i love our department, i just feel that there are far more sensible things in life and in the universe to sttudy about. i mean, i want MORE, MORE. gimme more!]

i read this book about being thankful for your life, about isolating yourself from the fallacy of this political world, the superficial wantings, and man's petty standards for success and happiness. being the philo-junkie that i was, i felt really enlightened, like, a sunshiny kind of enlightenment...like...happiness. it was awe inspiring to connect all the dots, all that i've read in our philo class and other philo readings seemed to fit in. and so there, i have, like, a new life now. happiness again.

so now, i'm thankful for: my wondrous kalai life, my eccentric kalai friends, my equally psychotic kalai buddies, my influential resident assistants who stimulate my sense of maturity, my intellectual growth, my snail-paced lovelife [is there even one?], u.p diliman's enriching milieu, everything i have learned, everyone that made me learn, my education, my bright, attainable plans.

when the finals week ends, i will sit in one corner of this world and ponder on where i'll go. i can go somewhere and get myself filthy rich, paint myself with the color of perceived success, feed myself with pride and all those human crapolas. but i can choose to be a cosmopolitan giver of worth, the stirrer of sense. i can make greater things, i think.

kasi. this world is just too beautiful for petty, flashy daydreams.

happiness.

let's pause for a while and attract positive energy...
...we spent the new year in quezon city, just like last year. and apparently, for the next few years, our new year will be celebrated away from my hometown of tabaco. yes, my hometown. my parents keep on insisting that it's high time for us to root our lives into the pampanga culture, telling us that the next celebrations should be done there since our ancestors, their spirits and their remains, etc etc are imbibed in there.


ehrr.. no.


resolutions and evolutions


i've always questioned the veracity behind 'new year resolutions'. and up until now i do. like, whatever, easier said than done on new year's day. i mean, we're all LIARS! however, since i feel jumpily happy and sunshiny, i want to list down fictitious and far-fetched, impossible resolutions and whatever-makeovers on my perfectly tolerable life.


1) stop being so psychotic.


2) stop telling the ate ice cream scooper that i'm depressed just so she gives me extra ice cream.


3) continue my strife, struggle and battle for an iPod.


4) stop leaving my soap at kalai's bath room.


5) stop picking leaves along freshie walk then counting them on the way back to the dorm.


6) stop having homicidal tendencies against my comm 3 prof last sem.


7) be a more effective, harsher and more serious sigaw editor in chief.


8) stop mentally assessing other people's subjective worth.


9) be more friendly, flirty and HAPPY.


10) punch somebody on the face.


i live by the aphorism 'great is the man of his words', and also that cliche statement about promises and breaking them. [insert evil laugh.]


let's again pause for a while to attract positive energy in this new year...


...


i am positive that 2008 will be a blast! [i define 'blast' as : a state of utter happiness, excitement and joy experienced on the different aspect of one's life such as academics, love life, family life, friendships, sex life, social life and others.rawr]


heyheypi new year everyone. get a [new] life!
