my pet dragon is sick too

remember my pet phoelix? umm. he's my pocket-sized, fire-breathing, color-changing/photochromatic floating dragon that likes to sharpen pencils and eat the shavings.

well. he's sick, too. phoelix's color is usually a shiny metallic-purple. but today his scales are this pale-green barfish color. ugh. and he keeps snorting little dragon flames every time he sneezes. *sigh* poor guy :(

so i didn't get to serve at the GSS today. hmp. i'll just try not to think about what i missed out on. later we're going to gateway to eat out (ha. i'm not even sure i can make it to tito joe's party, hu hu hu). maybe that will sort of make up for this lousy day :(

darnit

feeling down in the dumps today :(

i'm sick. literally.

darnit. my head's spinning. my throat hurts. my nose is runny and my eyes are watery.

*sigh*

tomorrow's the GSS. and i'm not even sure i'll be able to serve. probably not. at least, not while i'm in this condition :(

oh well. gotta turn in soon. this sucks :(

smiley day :)

it's been a long day. well, most thursdays are, for me.

my day started at 8am.. where i gave my advisory class their first long test in math. then i went ahead and gave the exam to my next class at 10.30am. uhm. well, i don't yet know how they fared in the exam.. hehe. but i didn't really enjoy making the test too much, so i'm guessing it's not *that* difficult, haha :p

by 12nn, my classes were over. friend mich didn't have classes either, so we went out for lunch (after dropping in on ma'am z at the k-2 bldg). we also killed time by looking around shoppersville "mall" hehe. it was fun trying on shoes (though really.. i now can understand how guys can get super exasperated when their gf's make them tag along while shopping, bwahahaha!).

my edsc class at 5.30pm went surprisingly well. considering the fact that i wasn't even sure what to discuss.. and that i forgot all my notes, examples and what-nots at home.. i think the lesson was fine, haha :p i can't believe i actually managed to give a 3-hour impromptu lecture. hahahaha.. :p

anyway. i got home tired but feeling quite fulfilled. and dad had a surprise waiting for me, too. haha. he replaced my drinking glass (the cleaning girl broke it a couple of weeks back) with one that had this pic's print on it :) neat, huh?

*yawn* i think i'm going to turn in real soon. all in all, this day's been happy :D i hope the rest of the week/month/year will be, too.. *fingers crossed*

confessions of a mango lover

i don't know when it happened.. but yes, i admit it. i love mango. the fruit. and the clothing store :p

it's weird. i never thought i'd be one of *them* :p oh, you know.. the ones who frequent boutiques and clothing stores. the ones who spend hours in dressing rooms, trying on all kinds of stuff from the racks of "on sale" tops (by "on sale" they mean P1,000+ per piece. sheesh).

but what the heck. i guess after being dormant for some 30-odd years, the female part of my brain decided to make its presence felt, nyahaha. so now, don't be surprised to find me a bit more "girly" than usual, bwahaha.

this is scary.. hahaha ;p

my imaginary pet

xerox gave me my imaginary pet today at school. placed in a paper bag.. taped to my "desktop" nyahahaha. well. that sure was a surprise :p

for those who don't know yet, my imaginary pet is a pocket-sized color-changing fire-breathing dragon. xerox describes him as someone who likes to say "geez" often. he likes sharpening pencils (like me!!!) and eating the pencil shavings afterwards (NOT like me!!! haha).

anyway, i took home phoelix (yes.. it's spelled *that* way, ok?!) today before going to choir prax. he's still in his paper bag. i'll let him out later before i go to sleep. i have lots of pencil shavings for him to eat, nyahahaha. having an imaginary pet sure is fun. weirdly fun, hahaha.

thanx, xerox.. for bringing phoelix to school. thank zephyr (her imaginary floating pet penguin) for me too, haha. i can't wait for your phoelix illustration, bwahaha :p

need caffeine

I NEED MY CAFFEINE FIX TODAY!!!!!

nyahahaha. check out some pix from our tagaytay trip yesterday :)

rain girl

i love pyromaniac's works (check out the site at deviant art) - especially this "rain girl" series hahaha.

we're going off to tagaytay in a while.. and i'm looking forward to the nice, cool weather again :)

i don't need sunshine. i need rain. i'm wishing for a downpour.. but if that's not possible, that's fine. i can content myself with even just a tiny drizzle.

and i'm not going to bring an umbrella.. :p

bravo for mango bravo

i started this day by eating dessert. last night's featured dessert - mango bravo :) and boy, was it a good way to greet the day!!

anyway. i shared the cake slice with dad.. who enjoyed it too. i can't wait to go out again. i just need to unwind. i need to go to new places. with people. i need to socialize. i want to roam around.. to look at shops.. to enjoy people-watching.. to just.. oh, i dunno. have fun :p (now you have an idea how i defined 'fun' - aside from reading books, playing pc games and blogging haha)

i met with my tutee marife this pm, too. and it was a bit of a challenge to give her testing tips (she's going to take college entrance tests in a couple of months). but after about 2.5 hours, i think she gained a bit more confidence (which is, by the way, one *major* factor to consider when taking any kind of test) and knowledge of testing techniques. so i felt accomplished after our session today :)

*sigh* i miss tutoring. i miss my "sweet kids" from summer.. :p

serendipitous serendra

it's been quite some time since i've gone to a "new" place with friend(s). and tonight just happens to be one of those few lucky nights - where i got to go to a good shopping/gimmick area :)

heids & i went to serendra (it's just "next door" to market! market!) after choir prax. she was craving for a mango bravo cake (from conti's - her fave dessert).. and i was craving for gimmick. er.. kinda :p so we opted to do some late-though-not-s0-late-night semi-gimmick after the practice :)

hahaha. i can't wait for our "girls' night out" with besp lils next week :) sana matuloy (keeping fingers crossed)

camwhoring

hahaha. just one of those "vanity" poses :p

it's not that often that i get to look in the mirror and appreciate what i see. most of the time, when i see myself, i just want to look the other way. so yeah, i kinda cherish moments like these - when i get to smile at my reflection.

camwhore? bwahahaha. i don't care. i need all the "tripping" moments i can get nowadays >;p

stars & hearts

i love stars.

umm. this one's just one of those 'gummi' starfish they sell at school. and since i love stars.. umm.. well, there. took a pic :p

i love lots of other things, too. and i wish i could just snap a photo and keep it with me always. so i can always just take a look at the picture and be inspired haha.

too bad it's so difficult to take those pix.. :(

oh well. it's not like i *need* to do that. the image will always burn in my mind..

whoa! :p

BWAHAHAHAHA!!
*this* type of rain is something i *do not* need :p

guys are jerks bwahaha

nyahahahahahahaha!!! >:p

the guy in this strip is a nerd/geek. what's *your* excuse?!

dads' day!!

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY TO ALL DADS!!!
(especially to mine, hehehe)

check out the article i wrote for my dad ü

thanx to cousin almi for treating the whole family to a sumptuous lunch today :) we ate at mann hann, where we ordered *so many dishes*!!! steamed fish.. beef w/ broccoli, okiam chicken, liempo, clam soup, yang chow rice, etc. yumyumyum!! wheeeee!! a happy dads' day celebration indeed :p

i have a new baby hahaha :p (well, uhmm.. ok, that sounds freaky so strike that). check out this mp4 player from cdr king. i'll tinker with it later. cool :)

some day.. *sigh*

we had our first general PTA meeting for this schoolyear today. and we also had choir practice today. great. was forced to absent myself from prax.. *sigh* oh well.

anyway, the meeting was ok. parents had lots of questions about their kids' acads (as well as upcat concerns). so the 1.30pm ended at about 3.30pm. and then there was the general assembly (which i didn't really go to anymore - er, well, i *sort of* did.. coz i was still at school then). too hot inside the multi-purpose hall.

i did get to hang out with nasa peeps (and then some) though. at that fancy "arbor-thingy" near the foods lab. that's where i kept frantically looking over my shoulder to check for bugs (cockroaches, specifically). and where i took this pic. hahaha.

i got home before 6pm. and man, have i got a headache!! oh well. what a day :p gotta get some shuteye first..

rain in sunny weather

this day is sooooooooooooooooooo hot!!! darnit! i hate.. i absolutely loathe this kind of weather. it's too humid.. it makes me want to take a bath every freaking minute. grrrrrrrr.

still have my colds.. but it's not as bad as it was yesterday. that's because it's gotten worse! wahahaha. now i don't even have my voice. sheesh. it's probably because our afternoon classroom doesn't have decent fans. and what with this kind of weather and the noise of the kids.. *sigh* my poor throat doesn't stand a chance :(

but i have my raindrops. teeny-tiny drops that sort of cheer me up and put a small smile on my face. tsk tsk. too bad there isn't much of 'em to keep me really happy.

maybe in a couple of days/weeks i'll get more than just mere droplets. maybe. i'm keeping my fingers crossed..

in the company of the likeably weird

yet another version of this "i give you my heart" thingy. hahaha. i wonder why i keep bumping into these goth-like drawings lately. like friend oviler said.. i seem to have this weirdness magnet (which lately seems to have morphed into a darkness magnet, nyahahaha!)

anyway, as i type this, my nose is stuffy, my eyes are watery, i keep sneezing and i can feel a headache starting. yep. i have the colds (either that or my rhinitis is kicking in again).. and that kinda sucks.

like my day. sheesh. my class in upis ended at 12nn. but i waited 'til 5pm coz i had a graduate class at educ at 5.30pm. however, when i got to the college, they switched us to another room number (apparently without any bulletin/announcements for students to see).. and i kept looking for the new venue 'til about 6pm. and when i *finally* saw the room, only one student was there. hahahaha. that sure was weird. sheesh. good thing friend oviler kept me company.

i have to thank my uber-weird pals for keeping me (in)sane all throughout my long wait at school. i specifically enjoyed that short (but really interesting) chat with paupau about china, nyahaha :p oh.. and of course, that creepily enjoyable talk with oviler on morbidity, mortality, imaginary friends and imaginary pets. hahaha. i wonder what imaginary numbers look like to him :p

all in all, it's not a really bad day. it's been.. uhm.. 'interesting' haha :)

i'm not a client

I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
not even close;
not even a little bit;
not even at all.

like i said.. i'm not a client. or at least, i'd like to think i'm *not* one.
10 things. i could probably name a hundred more.
but it doesn't really matter. 10.. 100.. 1000 things?
in the end, i think it doesn't really change anything.. :'(

torn wings

this is just one of those picture posts.

i got to chat with dee last night (haha.. happy bday again, dude!) and sheesh.. it sure was a surprise, haha :p i almost ran out of english words, bwahahaha :p

anyway, today is independence day. but i don't really feel it. coz we have class. well.. you know what i mean. it's kinda hard to 'feel' the holiday spirit when you're busy with such trivial stuff like school nyahahaha >:p

i'm thinking 'weirdly' right now. gotta sign off soon. i don't know how much more i can take. really..

sh(o)ut out

no classes today. nyahahahahaha. well, at least that's one thing to make me happy.

not feeling all that well right now :( i think i caught a bug or something. so i'm stuck here at home.. having a hard time moving about (tsk tsk.. and i really wanted to go malling today). *sigh*

i guess everything really starts with the mind. when you're stressed out and/or worried.. blue.. melancholy.. your body 'empathizes' with your brain (heart?!) and starts shutting down.

if only i can shut out the world and stop everything from spinning.. :(

same as the pic's title

the title of this pic is "the heart of nothing". i got this from friend didz' deviant art page (it's one of her favorites - and mine, too). i guess i just have a thing for "black angels" haha.

anyway, it sort of matches my current mood. *sigh* no.. i don't want to play the drama queen here.. so i'll let this pic speak for itself haha.

i'm fine, though. i'm done with rants for now. still.. i think the title still applies.

comic relief

here's the text for the strip above:

(FRAME1) Helga: "Don't talk with your mouth full!"
(FRAME2) Hagar: "I didn't say anything!!"
Helga: "That was just in case you do"

here's the text for the strip above:

(FRAME1) Lucy: "Maybe I don't need you, Charlie Brown"
(FRAME2) Lucy: "Why should I settle for being just First Lady? Why shouldn't I be president myself?"
(FRAME3) Lucy: "And then after I get to be president, it would only be one short step to..."
(FRAME4) Lucy: "QUEEN!!"

* * *

nyahahaha. i love today's comic strips (philippine star) ü
i could certainly use the laughs.

i'm stuck home (instead of serving at the pgr).
mom's sick.
dad needs an extra pair of hands for housework.
omega's quiet (for too long now boo hoo).
michie's heartbroken.
wishi's still blue.
*sigh*

but i still have my toons (yay!)
thank God for comix.
nyahahaha.

unexpected flowers

ok.. so this day didn't exactly turn out the way i expected. i thought it would all go wrong. i thought everything would be disastrous (especially given the mood i was in last night). but it didn't.

i guess talking to friend mich helped put things in perspective. nothing like bigger mountains to make your own seem like molehills. *sigh* at first, i felt really, really bad. hearing your friend's problems sure can sap your strength and what remaining happiness you have left. but when i thought about it a bit longer, i realized that i could still smile and be grateful. at least i'm not in her shoes. yet.

cousin doms helped lots too.. with his carefree attitude and matter-of-fact way of thinking. that's why when we got to choir prax tonight, my mood was a lot lighter than i ever expected it to be. and all the negative stuff inside my head was reduced to mere whispers i could more or less ignore.

and everything else was 'flowery' from there :)

so yeah, i guess you could say i'm 'happy' right now. not *really* happy. but i'm not one to complain. not right now, at least.

one short

almost. but not quite.

well and good.

"and i see your true colors shining through.."

sitting in the corner of my mind

another favorite i got one from angel grey ü (wish i had your talent, didz.. *sigh*)

it's way past 11am and my day has barely started. it's the last day of my 'vacation' - tomorrow classes officially start in upis :( but i have no complaints. i had a wonderful summer. a busy one.. but nevertheless wonderful :)

i guess there are some things that bug me right now. ok, there's mainly *one* thing bugging me right now. but i'm happy to say that the bug is getting smaller and smaller each day, nyahaha :p

on the downside, my favorite corner/hideaway is getting smaller and smaller too :( see, i have this secret corner i always go to - a place where i feel most comfortable and happy. doesn't matter that it's not really a place. doesn't matter that it's not really all "rosy" and "peaceful" all the time. doesn't matter that it's not real at all either. it's *my* place. and lately it's just.. shrinking.

i guess that's a good thing. but with favorite places.. well, there's always a lot of attachment. a lot of emotions and nostalgia and clinging involved.

it isn't always easy to move. (after all, secret places are, for the most part, irreplaceable) but i suppose i don't have any other choice.

i should probably just leave my favorite corner in morpheus' world, not mine.

it's now time for me to claim a new (and real) sanctuary.

wish me luck.

her beautiful version

(thanx to angel grey for this nice illustration ü seriously, it's my favorite :p miss ya, didz..)

hmmm. this has been one heck of an adventurous day for me. it didn't start out that way, though. my day began routinely.. waking up an hour or so before i had to drive to school. it's registration time - and as adviser/grade level coordinator, i had to be there by 8am.

tsk tsk. my 'nasa advisees' do not belong to my section?!?!!! sheesh. that felt weird, all right. but that's fine. i figure that since i'm nasa adviser anyway, it doesn't matter. not that much, anyway. and besides, they're all still my students so they can't escape me, nyahaha >:p still, it kinda sucks.

i don't know what it is that tired me, though.. coz when i drove home afterwards, i was so exhausted, i fell asleep. i didn't even eat a decent lunch (well, that's mainly coz we were served a heavy merienda at school). but i woke up around 4.45pm.. just in time to freshen up and get ready to leave for prax.

cousin doms and i were off to makati by 5.30pm (haha.. i had to finish the spongebob episode :p). traffic was relatively light, so we got to prax around 6.15pm. it wasn't too boring - we practiced some new songs.. and had double quartets (though boss ran didn't call on everybody for that). and i brought along my copy of 'coraline' to read - so i'd have something to while away the time.

my adventure actually started on our way home from choir prax. besp heidi wasn't feeling well. she was dizzy and felt like throwing up. she was in no condition to drive. so it was decided that i'd drive her home.. with cousin doms following behind so i could go home with him afterwards.

but besp's condition was getting worse (she looked really pale.. and could hardly speak by then).. so boss ran, mamaliz, nans and i decided it would be best to bring her to the hospital ER to be sure she gets the proper medical attention. after some weird squabbles (and totally out-of-this-world-hilarious exchanges that i'd better not mention here anymore, hahaha), i drove besp to makati med.. with cousin doms and the rest following behind in their respective cars.

unlike a lot of people, ERs don't make me feel uncomfortable. in fact i happen to like the hospital atmosphere (umm.. i hope that doesn't sound sick to most of you, hehe - must be the reason why i love 'grey's anatomy' and 'house' so much, nyahaha).. and i kinda enjoyed staying with besp there to keep her company. since only one companion is allowed to stay with the patient, boss ran, mamaliz and nans left (after making sure we were doing fine).. and cousin doms went off to eat 'dinner' at a nearby 7-11.

after a while, there's this really cute doctor (note: i said cute.. not hot okay? :p) who came in to update us on besp's condition. he said something about her blood sugar levels.. told us that he was going to recommend that she undergo blood tests asap.. explained what these tests do.. etc. etc. he sounded very knowledgeable yet down-to-earth. he had perfect bedside manners. he was kind, reassuring and amiable. and he had a really nice voice too :)

ok, enough gushing about this cute doctor, hahaha :p

suffice it to say that by 11.15pm, i was driving besp home.. with cousin doms 'in tow' again (i'm really lucky to have such a supportive cousin. i mean that :p) i enjoyed the drive to besp's place - we chatted about lots of stuff - mainly about the cute doctor, hahaha. it feels good to drive a power-steering car, nyahaha :p

but mostly, it feels good to have helped someone in need. especially if that someone is close to you.

i just feel happy to have done a good deed.

and i feel happy that i've been of use - not just thrown aside.

and yes, the picture *does* have something to do with this post.

it's a beautiful version. and i don't think i'm sorry about it at all :p

fine, fine, fine..

dee recommended these lyrics to me just now (from "avenue q"), as we're chatting (and while i'm layouting the newsletter, watching tv and typing an article, hahaha). well, well, well.. whaddaya know.. hahaha!! gotta loooove these lines. talk about an "inspiring" song nyahahaha..

There's a fine, fine line between a lover, and a friend.
There's a fine, fine line between reality, and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line between love, and a waste of time
There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale, and a lie.
And there's a fine, fine line between "you're wonderful" and "goodbye".
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime
But there's a fine, fine line between love, and a waste of your time
And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity I've got to close the door
And walk away... Oh...
There's a fine, fine line between together, and not.
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted, and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime.
There's a fine, fine line between love, and a waste of time.

i-m-h-a-p-p-y

.. or at least, i'm trying to be, hahaha :p

and this latest buy certainly helped :)

i'm glad i gathered enough willpower to NOT buy gaiman's "eternals" yesterday at fully booked. haha. who would've thought they had it at UP?! and at a great discount too! i got it for around 33% discount. neat, huh?

i was also able to get alan moore's watchmen. same stall. *really* great finds. wow.

well, this is a totally different shopping therapy.. but it did work for me, haha.

although, of course, my pocket's seriously crying (anyone who can tell me how i can earn extra?! hehehe), wahaha. but heck. let my pocket do the crying for now.. not me.

meantime, like i said, i'm h-a-p-p-y. and i hope i stay that way for a bit longer than i'm expecting..

call me slasher

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

this is my current mood. don't ask me why. i just feel this *really* great need to hack or slash away.

maybe later on i'll be able to write a decent post. but at the moment, i'm certainly in no mood to do so.

woe to anyone who crosses my path right now.

RRRROOOOWWRRRRRR!!

guess why

i'm happy. tired. but happy :)

i started my day at around 6:30am - woke up, freshened up and prepared to drive to choir prax with cousin doms. we left the house at about 7:30am (instrumentalists practice at 8am) and arrived at st. paul at 8:15am.

my mistake was that i didn't bring my laptop or any book to read. i whiled away the time (choir prax starts at 10am) chatting with wally and literally searching for *any* work do to :p good thing cousin apol dropped by. he asked me to help him out with some "math formulas." he's part of a team that's working on designing plans for a new building to be erected at the rockwell center. and he needed to figure out what formula to use so he can compute the area of each floor (it changes per floor 'coz the building is sloped). well, that helped me kill some time so i'm kinda grateful haha (heck.. i never knew geometry was actually useful for day to day situations! hahaha!)

choir prax was uneventful. we practiced only one song (haha.. ran was sooo upset with the song booboo last wednesday.. he made us relearn it with a vengeance haha). it wasn't that difficult.. so i had lots of time on my hands. which i kinda hated :p

by 12:30pm, i was on my way home already. i was looking forward to a relaxing afternoon at home.. with the a/c turned on at full blast. but dad and i had to bring mom to her recollection at ua&p; so that plan went kapfft. that's ok i guess.. coz dad and i got to spend some "bonding moments" together at the podium hahaha. too bad there aren't that many stores in there :(

5pm. i met up with bestfriends heidi & lian at gateway. it's been some time since we've been able to *really* go out and unwind. so yeah, i really enjoyed being with them again :) we ate dinner at burgoo (though admittedly, i wasn't in the mood to eat anything. dunno why).. where friend gina joined us. afterwards, it was shop, shop, shop!! :) gateway had a "mallwide" sale.. so we hopped from store to store (all the time telling ourselves we just had to burn off those calories we packed in eating dinner haha).. ogling the shoes.. the clothes.. *sigh*

there's just too much temptation going around, don't you agree?! ;)

oh well. i'm home now. tired yet happy. mostly happy :) yay.

(you can keep guessing.. but i'm not telling why :p)

remembering the future

there's this really cool online comic strip (called "xkcd" - don't ask me why) that i always read. i especially liked today's entry 'coz it made me think (and well.. you just know how i *love* doing that haha)

i wonder what would happen if we ever lived backwards, like merlyn. i don't think it would be very nice to remember the future.. and not know what happened in the past. totally weird.

it's like one of those things you could totally expound on. if you were a writer and were looking for something outre to write about, hahaha :)

sheesh. these ideas are going to keep me awake for hours again.

why do i always get these thoughts at midnight anyway?!?

rainy day adventures

woohooo!!! yay, the rains are most definitely here! ü

i drove off to enter my students' math grades earlier this morning (they're all quite eager to find out how they did, i guess, haha - i texted them to let them know i missed them.. awww.. :p). and as soon as i stepped out of the house, out came those big, grey rainclouds!! :) so my entire trip to school was really fun nyahahaha. i missed driving in the rain :p

i was so happy that when i drove to UP afterwards, i decided to snap some shots in the rain ü see how grey the skies are? and notice the big drops of rain on my windshield, hahaha :) i sooooo love this weather. *sigh*

we were able to finish the 1st sem sked for this coming schoolyear, by the way. haha. sir chris is such a comedic charmer. it's lots of fun working with him and friend mich :p

well. i'm just glad *that's* over with. and i certainly hope there won't be any last-minute changes to the sked we made. personally, i like mine the way it is.. :)

and i also hope the rest of this summer vacation turns out to be as happily rainy as this one :)
