SMILE!

hi wogee! i had a grand time yesterday! it really is fun to make people smile.. it warms my heart whenever i see people's faces light up with joy after reading our sign.. :) haay.. let's do it again soon!

yesterday, wogee and i spent our entire afternoon together.. since the sky poured down entire drums of water,we were both stranded.. we sat at the edsa walk, between the boards of Likas and Tuklas (not sure).. there we started our sound trip.. people stared at us because we really were something to stare at.. hehe.. we sat there, earphones on our ears, our heads bopping with the beat, and an open umbrella to keep us from getting wet.. we were really a sight to see! we stayed there for a long time, but then it started to flood! (yes, it flooded at the edsa walk! ankle-high!) so we started to evacuate!! after wading through the flood, we found a new shelter at one of the benches at kostka..

there we continued our sound trippin'.. after some time, we started to feel bored, so we dared each other to wave/smile at people (especially those who are walking alone) who passed us by.. but our plan didn't work! palpak ang kinalabasan! hahaha! *hi to that girl, who was eating clover chips, we waved to! she asked us if we were from gabay.. hehe* so we revised our scheme.. we just made a cute sign that says SMILE.. then we showed it to anyone passing us by.. some smiled, some TRIED NOT TO smile, some looked at us in a mataray/masungit way, some just totally ignored us, and very few asked why we were doing it.. so WHY? because we want to make people happy! it was a very bad day (some even said week, even SEM!), so we tried to make them feel better.. the rain was making everyone feel bad.. a lot were soaked, a lot were stranded, or just plain in a bad mood, so by our simple sign, we were making them happy!

if YOU passed by kostka yesterday (friday, 23 july), at around 1630-1800 hours, most likely you've seen us.. :) i hope we made you smile! we would do it again soon, so watch out for us! :)

SMILE!! :)

"ma-pride"

if i could change anything in my system, it would be my KAYABANGAN.. i have too much pride in my system, and this often gets me in trouble.. because of my pride i feel bad about things.. because of my pride my life becomes awful.. it's one of the things that prevents me from really being happy..



this day's just a bad day for me.. dahil sa pride ko! i just hate it!



i hope this day would turn around.. as in TURN..

maligamgam na sundae

hmm.. today's a monday! as usual, wogee, twix_, and i ate at mcdo! woohoo! we now officially call ourselves the "MMCrew", which stands for "Monday McDo Crew".. for your information, we three eat out at McDo katipunan every Monday! thus the name for us.. of course, our McDo trips are not limited for us three only.. if YOU  are interested to come with us, do join! :) but a word of caution: if you cannot handle too much noise, get really irritated easily, can't handle deep yet very shallow jokes, can't wear a McDo hat in public, sing worship songs anywhere (even in fastfood chains), or if you are a plain KILLJOY, then don't hang out with us.. you'd die.. hehe..
 
wondering about the title? the sundae that i ate earlier was maligamgam.. so weird.. hehe.. we were really laughing our hearts out because it was so odd to have a maligamgam na sundae.. wehehe.. :D
 
it's my math long exam tomorrow.. haaay.. well, i've studied for it.. all weekend, all i did was solve, solve, solve, and solve! :p well, of course i also studied for my other subjects, and also chatted.. *certified addict chatter*:) hello sa mga naka-chat ko! *waves*
 
i'm staying here in school til 6pm.. SAC-SE will have a GA later.. :)
 
what else to type? hmm.. can't think of anything anymore.. GOT TO REVIEW MORE!! MAAAATTTHHH!!
 
see yah! :)

What is your chair?

What is your chair?

 

            Usually, a chair is for a single person only. It has a backrest, and sometimes armrests, too. But since I am a person who loves working in large spaces, I would prefer a bench as my chair.

           I would love those benches made up of wood, preferably with a dark color, carved with intricate patterns that only the mind could decipher. It would be a long bench - a bench that could accommodate up to 12 people at a time.

             The bench would not only fulfill my need for space, but it would also give me a chance to socialize with other people. If I wanted to, I could let others sit with me on my bench. Twelve people sitting on a bench, doing all sorts of stuff would be wonderful!  We could all chat about never-ending topics, think about the most recent issues, read books, sing songs, party, or just simply sit down and bum around.

            If I wanted to, I could sit on the middle of the bench signifying that I do not want others to sit with me. This would give me a sense of solitude - a time to reflect and ponder on things. It will give me a chance to use my inner eye. I could be like Wordsworth, only that I would be on a bench not on a couch. I could wander off, flying on the clouds, but all the while staying on the ground.

            A bench would be very nice. The possible activities that come with it are endless. My bench could be shared with others, or shared with my ego. In any way, if no one was sitting on it, it would just be a bench. Its uniqueness is on its sitters.

happy birthday to me!

my mobile phone's inbox is full of birthday messages!

awww.. it feels so good! :)



wogee, twix_, and i ate out at mcdo katipunan this afternoon.. and we made a fool of ourselves! woohoo! we sat near the window, where we could see the cars going through the drive-thru.. we wore these mcdo hats (the one the mcdo crew wears, e.g. sundae, french fries).. then wogee made a sign, "BIRTHDAY KO NOW", which we posted on the window.. then everytime a car passed, we would wave at them and act so crazy! wahahaha.. haay, it's so fun to act foolish once in a while! especially when it's your birthday! :)



later at 1630 hrs, there will be a party for lit majors! woohoo! P-A-R-T-Y! :)



that's all for now.. see yah!

countdown

two days to go and counting!!! woohoo!

it rained!

waaaah! i didn't expect the rain to come today.. it just came! hmmm.. i think it's a bit of a drizzle now.. haay.. today was a DAY! a lot of things happened! well actually, not that much.. *i am not making any sense*.. it's a tuesday, so i had my PE this morning.. Step-Aero!! woohoo! hahaha.. ms. bonoan's routines are kinda hard to follow.. well, actually it's not that hard.. i just have a bad coordination! wahaha.. well, i had fun.. i wore a skirt to school today! haha.. you may think, "so what?" well, walalang.. it's just my first time to wear a skirt for no reason.. i'm not a "skirt person".. i usually wear pants and shirts.. i wear skirts only when there's an occasion, say Christmas, or birthdays, or parties.. but today, i kinda felt like wearing a skirt! :) *naks! magse-senventeen na kasiii!! hahaha...



i totally enjoyed my ma1 class today! woohoo! that's a new thing for me! i usually get bored in my math classes, but this morning i was answering my exercises with complete enthusiasm! wow! and mind you, i got the right answers! ye'y!



fil11 class.. it's sooo interesting! favorite subject ko na siya! hahaha.. i even taped today's discussion! super fun! makes me ponder on a lot of things.. hobby ko yun eh, diba? mag-ISIP! woohoo!



fil11 was my last class.. i had my interview for ACMG.. that was an hour ago.. it wasn't much of an "interview".. it was more of a "conversation" lang between me and the interviewee.. nakailang lipat nga lang kami ng pwesto 'cause inuulan kami! haha.. but it was really nice.. :)



hmm.. last.. nasira yung bag koooo! waaaah!.. well, i'll just have it fixed!



i guess i'll go home na! hehe.. it's 1530 na kasi.. siguro naman mahina na ang ulan!
