Gone too far astray 2008-09-18 20:49:00 I've been seriously considering to sell my soul to the devil these past couple of days. They say that the devil can give you anything you want....in exchange for your soul. Once you made an agreement with him, your soul (once you die) will burn in Hell for all eternity.That doesn't sound good...but I ran out of other options (actually, this isn't entirely true, I still have other options, one of w
Satan's Son: "Mom called in sick today" 2008-09-03 10:23:00 My mother and I aren’t exactly what you would say close to each other. Sometimes the rationale behind my love for her becomes confusing as to whether “I love her because I choose to”, or that “I love her because I have to (with her being my mom and all)”. I’d like to think that she and I have a “love-hate” relationship. And the one factor that determines which mood our relations Read more:Satan
Buwan ng Bata 2008-08-30 09:50:00 Today is supposed to be Monette’s 20th birthday. Majority of the people I know celebrate their birthday this month. This makes me feel desolate and alone. Cheka lang! Hehe. With Monette starting to shake off her “-teen” days behind her, I start to fret over growing old. I’ve always thought of myself as someone who’ll never be an adult in the sense that I never see myself working, havi
Did we just cross the other line? 2008-08-25 08:41:00 I was browsing over this year's "Am I Nuts?" queries (being a nutcase myself -- and yes, I am not ashamed of that...most of the time) and found myself reassured of not being the only one in the world who's a little "cuckoo" on the head (because sometimes I forget that and when I say "cuckoo", I don't mean "Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart cuckoo kinda way"; that's a different level).We all ne
Celebrating with a poet (and lying earlier in my brethren's school) 2008-08-25 07:34:00 It’s really supposed to be on the 26th but I think Prof. Anthony L. Tan wants to spend his actual birthday alone so he celebrated with a few (yes, very few) people the day before that. Luckily, I was among those few people and my good friend Ami was there as well (quoting her, "the groupies that we are"..haha!). We ate nangka, we talked, we laughed, and we watched Anna Karenina starring the b
Celebrating with a poet (and lying earlier in my brethren's school) 2008-08-25 07:34:00 It’s really supposed to be on the 26th but I think Prof. Anthony L. Tan wants to spend his actual birthday alone so he celebrated with a few (yes, very few) people the day before his actual natal day (motif: day). Luckily, I was among those few people and my good friend Ami was there as well. We ate, we talked, we laughed, and we watched Anna Karenina starring the beautiful Sophie Marceau. A
When a landangera talks about his primary friends... 2008-08-24 06:05:00 After what seemed like a week-long suspension of classes brought about by the "stint" (yes, quite an understatement) coming from the MILF and the GRP regarding the MOA-signing controversy, it feels good (understatement #2) to find myself back in school again. Seeing other signs of life apart from those you see at home (I gotta tell you, staring at the faces of your family members panicking could a
The New Betting Game: Banzai 2008-08-22 21:35:00 I'm always a fan of games. Just recently, I've been into online playing games and I've been doing some posting all about them in my previous blog entries. And just now, I have stumbled upon another great new way to summon fun...Introducing Screenlife Games' Banzai -- the new Asian-inspired betting game on DVD that is also based on the hit TV show of the same name! Banzai initially allows you to wa
And now we wait... 2008-08-18 08:18:00 As the disappointment I've felt in the last 24 hours regarding the news that classes are suspended for the whole week (which means I wont get to wear our new uniform and see my crush/es in school) gradually reduces itself to a faint touch, a feeling of dreadful (and I mean DREADFUL!) anxiety (and I guess you could also call it paranoia) has started to manifest in me.After packing a few of the stuf

When by thy scorn, O murderess, I am dead... 2008-08-16 00:14:00 John Donne is one of my favorite poets. Below is his poem entitled The Apparition which I wrote on a manila paper (don't you just love my enmanship?? ahehe) and presented to my English 3 students (first year BS-IT students...yes, my crush is in this class as well..nyahaha). Behold! Harken!P.S.Gawd, what is it with me and short blog entries these days??! X_X
So help us God 2008-08-16 00:00:00 While Mai-Mai was checking the English 1 (College English) workbooks of some first year students. A person who is not sleepy should not sleep. Need I say more? X.x
Feeling like a vegetable 2008-08-15 21:47:00 I never did anything productive during the last 24 hours. I didn't get to teach a class and I also never got to see my 1st Yr BS-IT crush. Bummer. Bummer. Bummer. Read more:Feeling
A response to the "PITY-ING MISSY" 2008-08-06 08:26:00 I was supposed to give out a reply to her message which contains "PITY" as the most recurring word in it. (Wait, I think I already posted one but I decided to delete it because I am such a good person.. Haha.. Aw...) The reason is because (I'd like to think that) I am a changed--(checks what's inside my pants...I still have it)--man (and also thanks to Ami's blog).Here's her post that I read in th
Viva ABEO!!! 2008-08-01 20:06:00 It hurts to lose...we all know that for a fact. It's a good thing it wasn't us who went home hurting and with grudges (let alone decadence...you know who you guys are...hihihi)!At long last the CASS Days celebration has wrapped itself up and has also given us the most kicking conclusion there is: ABEO (AB-English Organization) being the Over-All Champion!!!Over-All Champion for Literary Events (we
Stinging sides and the facts of life 2008-07-23 01:17:00 What do you do when your 9-year old brother suddenly looks up to you and asks (in the middle of watching Disney Channel's animated version of Mr. Bean), "Kuya, unsa diay nang Frenzy? Makaon na?"As many of you may know, Frenzy is a brand of condoms. And my brother was asking me what it was for. He must have mistaken it to be a junk food due to its packaging (aww, the poor thing). The same thing hap Read more:facts
Being good means craving for chocolates 2008-07-17 20:39:00 Our monitor decided to be eyesight-unfriendly these couple of weeks and that explains my absence in blogging. And for lack of anything to do (I just finished watching Season 1 of Gossip Girl on DVD and cable television is already getting boring), I resolved to straining my eyes infront of our damned monitor trying to make up for my week-long invisibility.As many of you may know, I am no longer all
Bad in bed 2008-07-09 20:33:00 Now I remember one of the reasons why I decided to "lie low" from the debate varsity last sem. Aside from eating up what was supposed to be my time to circulate, circulate and circulate some more, debating makes me feel like the most clueless person in the team (and it's my fault because I never really do research and I never care about news and current events...they make me sad).I know I've had m
The Affair You Don't Know You're Having 2008-07-06 03:22:00 by Heather Johnson DurocherAn e-mail here, a smile there. Maybe that "innocent" friendship with your guy friend isn't so innocent after all.... I'll call him John. The first time we met, he actually struck me as a bit arrogant. He irritated me enough that I mentioned him to my husband in a "Can you believe this guy?" kind of way. But I interacted with John only occasionally, always through work Read more:Affair

All over again 2008-07-03 19:57:00 When your overseas working father (who, by the way, has an extensive history of being such an "Alfie") suddenly signs out the moment you sign in at Yahoo! Messenger, you begin to have suspicions -- especially if you were fervently hoping for his Yahoo! smiley to beam out a bright warm yellow smirk saying "online" for you to be able to ask him for stuff (yes, I can be very needy sometimes). Then yo
A path to self-realization and a bit of a confession 2008-06-28 10:13:00 As a consequence for "being sick" (I don't wanna mention my sickness anymore), I'm no longer allowed to do a lot of things -- in other words, I have to stop being a living person. Like for example, I'm no longer allowed to get physical. For a person like me who feeds on human (physical) contact (and no this is not just about not being able to have sex, silly), that's something that I find depressi Read more:realization

A revision 2008-06-25 03:50:00 This is a revision of the entry that I posted a couple of months ago in what might be my second blog back when I was, shall we say, "hurting". Even the greatest writers revise their works. There's Milan Kundera, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and Joyce Carol Oates, to name a few. Now I'm not saying I'm a great writer like them (although that would be pretty neat if I were). I was merely just
A TB patient by accident 2008-06-24 05:34:00 After several days of repeatedly traversing back and forth from the CASS Building to the KASAMA (student council) Office to the Administration Building with the sun in full heat and burning my already burnt skin and also with the occasional downpour of rainwater thanks to Typhoon Frank (by the way, what happened to Sulpicio Line's MV Princess of the Star was absolutely dreadful!

Fighting temptation 2008-06-21 04:04:00 (...and I'm sorry, this isn't a religious post.)Had to keep myself preoccupied over lunch time today so that I wouldn't have to succumb to the urge of watching Wowowee. It's against my principles (yes, apparently I still have some) because I think that the show's a lowbrow. But since my long stay in the hospital, I've been looking forward to watching it during noontime. And I think it's close enou Read more:Fighting

Animal Farm-ish 2008-06-20 21:14:00 So I was visiting Rei's blog and then I decided to click on this link:'s...uhh...weird...the chicken mascot seems to do everything you ask it to (sadly enough, it wont masturbate...yep, tried asking him to do that but nada!).. Try clicking it.And I also tried out the pig-drawing personality test (I'm a sucker for personality tests) Rei has on her blog, too.Here's my little piggy: Read more:Animal

Here's to teaching! 2008-09-26 21:07:00 Ever since I was old enough to know what my mother's, and my grandmother's, and all my titas' profession was -- they're all teachers, by the way -- I've always had the image of myself being a one as well.When I was old enough to speak, my parents had taught me to say "I wanna be a doctor" when people would ask what I want to be when I grow up and I would do as they say without even meaning it bec
CH side by side, I'm finally back inside!.. 2008-09-22 21:04:00 At long last I've finally managed to get rid of the indolence that has been stopping me from going to church! For over months of convincing God (through my extremely short bedtime prayers) that I needn't attend the Sunday mass since what's important the fact that I have faith in Him; and after months of telling Him that the place of worship is not of severe importance as long as I get to worship H Read more:inside
Call me fat 2008-09-21 00:12:00 Who would have thought trying to bulk up is harder than gaining weight (for me, that is)? I've always drooled over the idea of having "bilbil" and chubby cheeks. Mind you, my frail and skinny appearance is NOT a product of media and society's perception of beauty (like the lifeless skeletons with make-up overload we see on most fashion magazines). It's not.I didn't always look this malnourished. B
A post long overdue 2008-10-29 08:05:00 Quoting what I said to Fatty (why does she get to be called Fatty?? Hmpf..) moments ago via YM (isn't technology wonderful??), "I haven't been within close proximity to a PC unit for over a week now"... The separation resulted into indolence that I never found the energy to update my blog. But now here I am (thanks to Ami and her plunk-stuff.. Hey, Ami's gaining popularity here in my blog postings
Not getting any younger 2008-10-30 22:42:00 Of all the things to forget to blog about, my birthday is the least that I should have forgotten.Last October 18, 2008 (the day before we left for Davao to compete for the 10th National Debate Championship), I turned 20. Yes, folks I am twenty and I know that I sound too immature for my age and I know it's hard to believe because my graying hair doesn't do justice to my number of years in adding
