Urban Chick
It's officially that start of the sem break. Freak! Kainis talaga that the team building of SBMMA was moved to November 12-13! I even marked my calendar "October 17-19, SBMMA team building" sabay hindi tuloy! Grrr.. Daisy and I were so ready for Neuva Ecija pa naman!! Haaayy.. but then again, work isn't really over.. Ab, Jd, & I still have to work on a final paper in Lay Apostolate. Darn! That's why tomorrow, I'm gonna be in school.
Anyways, I went to Makati again today. So is Monday now Makati day for me? I was in Makati rin kase last Monday eh haha!! I went to Edge of Light Studio again, the studio of Xander Angeles, to pick up the bottom that I bought from Risque Swimwear, owned by the wifey of Xander, Cheryll Angeles. By the way, their products are really nice!! Then, I headed to Greenbelt for the PSID exhibit. But since Rae isn't around yet, I went to Glori na muna and went window shopping. I was actually gonna go shopping, I even brought so much muchos with me, but then I couldn't find what I wanted so I went to Tickles na lang and bought something, haha. And then while walking around I saw EG!! Actually, he saw me, and then he waved at me... syempre he's on the phone talking to Ate Lou, I think! Then mga 4pm I went back to Greenbelt na and went to the exhibit. Ang kewl ng exhibit!! Ang galing galing! You should see it! It's really nice! It's in Greenbelt 1 in front of Watson's. Basta astig talaga!! Of course, I took the personality test and it turns out that I'm an URBAN!

They may also be unhealthy, neglecting fresh air and ample nourishment
So watcha think? Urban chick, huh? Hmmm... hahaha!! My second highest personalities were Sensual and Bohemian. When I'm not too tired I'll type what those personalities are about. Basta just go to the exhibit!!
Hay grabe, I'm so tired!! When I got home, I drank 2 glasses of cold water then I went straight to bed! Buti na lang mom woke me up kundi I'd get puyat nanaman later! Hirap kase matulog pag nagsisiesta eh!
Anyhoo, that's all I have for now... ciao!!
Last Day
Thursday, October 06, 2005 was the last day for my T-Th classes!! No more Retailing!! Uh, wait.. don't be so sure.. we actually don't have a final exam for Retailing. Instead of an exam, we're supposed to pass a retail strategic plan. Kaso til now wala pa rin kaming paper! Saya diba? I don't know what my group mates were thinking that they didn't even do something about it. Anyways, I didn't attend Retailing on it's last day. I woke up a bit late coz I slept na at 8am.. ab & marc were here til 6am - we finished the Ad Campaign for IMC2 WITHOUT carlo and billy!! Syempre, I did the poster, ticket, and sticker. My group mates won't get any help from me when it comes to the paper coz my brain's drained at the moment. Imagine, I've been sitting in front of the computer, straining my back and not having at least 5 hours of sleep for more than a week now! Maawa naman sila sa akin diba? Sila nga they have time pa for lakwatcha and time to watch TV pero ako wala! So yun nga, I slept for at least 2 hours naman. Then I had to fix pa the food for the "partay" in ArtAp. I didn't have enough time anymore so I decided not to attend Retailing anymore. Then I had to have the poster, tickets & stickers printed pa kaya I was late naman for Lay Apostolate. But that's ok coz I was one of the panelists lang naman for the defense of my classmates. Remember, I'm an LA Class Coordinator. Then, time for the defense in IMC2 na!! grabe, I didn't even know what I was gonna report about! We didn't even have copies!! We had one copy lang and it's the one for Prof. Acee. No time to photocopy na so mano mano na lang sa pag kopya! Imbento na lang sa report! Haay.. it's the first defense in my college years that I didn't prepare for.. as in if the prof would ask me something, I might not be able to answer it, unless it was a simple question that only requires common sense. Pero ayos lang naman kase she didn't ask us questions one by one and somehow naman I knew a little, especially the important stuff. Kahit papano naman I did a little paper work. Well, our paper was very good daw. There was just one area where we made a mistake, but overall, it's VERY GOOD!! And guess what, our paper got 2nd place with a grade of 87%! Asteeg!! Nag 2nd place pa ang paper na ginawa lang in how many hours lang.. haha!! The grade of the group thatgot 1st place is 88%. O diba, lapit lang ng grade namin! Saya noh? Haha!! After IMC2, I went to the library. I had to research about region 6 for a written report in Phil Lit. then Jason, Rem & I went to our house to get the super yummy chocolate & mocha cupcakes that I bought for the "partay" in ArtAp. Last day in ArtAp, so Sir Lucena asked us to bring some snacks.. sabi niya he'll bring daw sandwhich pero he didn't naman. So our food was just the cupcake and empay's toffee. For the drinks, coke courtesy of night's group. Unfortunately, they forgot to get cups so they drank straight from the bottle. As for me, since I'm not much of a softdrink person, I was happy with my mineral water. After class, Ab, Marc, Carlo & I went to our house to work on the Retail Strategic Plan. But of course, Billy made an excuse once again not to go, which I strongly believe is just crap! Since there was no food, we ordered pizza. Kaso not much work was done.. wala nga ata eh! Around 11pm, Carlo wanted to leave na kase "hinahanap na daw siya" yeah right!! Just like Billy's excuse, I bet it's crap as well! So ayun, they left na.. I got to sleep mga past 12am na coz I had to finish my part in the paper which was the web design.
Friday, October 07, 2005. shocks! I woke up having really bad colds!! When I got to school, I went straight to the clinic to get No-Drowse Decolgen then I headed to the office. I kept on sneezing and sneezing "haching!" I was running out of tissue as well coz I kept on blowing my nose.. ah, terrible!! Then Siegfried felt my temperature and said that I was kinda hot.. I guess my body couldn't take the puyat and the pagod anymore.. haay.. last day in Phil Lit! we watched the last group's presentation.. also, it was the submission of the written reports.. kaso Allen was stuck in traffic!! They got to school around 3:10pm na. at first Sir Marvin didn't want to accept our paper, but finally did but gave Allen a -50. dapat daw it's for the two of us but Allen said na siya na lang daw, wag na ako.. aww.. that's really nice of you, Allen! Kaso na-guilty naman ako kase diba he did the typing.. if he wasn't there to type the report, goodluck na lang sa akin! And so I texted Sir Marvin not to give Allen a minus na. hindi nagreply! Ang ganda diba? Pero I'm sure naman he won't give us a minus kase sila marc nga 6pm na nagpasa diba? Last day na rin in Rizal.. yippee!! Exempted ako sa finals! Buti na lang!! syempre after Rizal, ab, marc & I were still thinking how the hell we're gonna finish that retail strategic plan and if we still have a chance.. ab & I ate muna at Tres Bigotillos. Jason, Al, Dugay & Jha were there din so after eating, we went to Jason's Condo.. then we borrowed their retail strategic plan and looked at what we can do to ours. We didn't copy naman eh kase different naman yung retail outlet namin from theirs. Ab & I did whatever we could do na, but since Sir Romero's last class was kaninang 5pm pa, we thought of finishing it nalang at home then we'd send it to him nalang through email. Last day na rin in Business Finance!! It was supposed to be a review class for the final exam kaso something else happened. The 4th year irregs started to tease me to another 4th year irreg. And goodness, everyone was teasing me! No one even sided with me. They all left me at the left portion of the classroom so that the guy they were teasing to me would sit beside me. Eh di syempre sunod ako sakanila sa right side! Kaso they were being mean talaga na they all went to the left side naman!! AAAHHHHH!!! Oh, and thanks AB for writing my celphone number, landline, address, email address and even my blog address on the board! So mean talaga!! Pero it was funny!! I thought at first joke time lang until it was major teasing na.. but I don't really know kung joke lang siya or if it's for real. Ah, whatever! Just like what Ambo said during our chit chat after Business Finance, at least everyone enjoyed the last day! In fairness, nkakatuwa siya! Si West na pasimuno may nalalaman pang FLAMES! Haha! At may naririnig pa akong Qpids! Haha!! Buti na lang it's the last day.. freak! I just hope they don't tease us during the final exam! Ah freakenish!!!
Sweet Momma..
Thursday night my mom asked for a copy of the DVD I edited for ArtAp which was about Shoes. She was gonna bring it daw to school. Then kanina she told me that the people in school were impressed and all.. then I asked her, "why did u show it to them ba? For what?" (coz I thought they needed a sample for something, I dunno!) then she said, "wala lang. I just wanted to show it to them coz I'm proud of your work." Awww.. that's so tweet!!
rain rain..
i'm home early coz the rain just doesn't want to stop so our professors decided not to have classes anymore.. yipee!! i'm glad coz just in case the rain gets strong which would create major flooding all over the city, i don't have to wait in school anymore just like last night! last night was terrible!! the rain was so strong, it was flooded everywhere, and the traffic was so bad!! i asked my dad to pick me up at 6:30pm coz my professor called me up and said that he couldn't make it coz nga of the traffic.. guess what time i left beda.. 10 pm!! grrr... i was so tired pa naman coz i've only had 2 hours of sleep coz i finished doing the web design for retailing & e-tailing + revision of teaser for the marketing week + revision of ASPEN souvenir and poster + collage for iza's special someone (and like i said, i'm gonna post it here on my blog, hahahahah!!).. whew!! so much!! tapos i was so hungry pa coz my last meal was around 1pm pa! haaay... bwisit na ulan!!

;(
today.. at this very moment.. my heart was crushed..
@ home lang
No classes today due to a strike! I don’t even know what the strike is all about. Good thing I didn’t leave the house at 1pm like I usually do coz I got the news just a couple of minutes after 1pm. The bad thing was that I just finished preparing my baon – the usual bread w/ Chiz Whiz. But that’s ok at least I wasn’t dressed yet and that I was still at home.
So what’s been up lately? Oh, nothing much.. just the same old stuff I do everyday. You know, go to school, attend my classes, study, and then head back home. I almost forgot, I received my midterm grades already. Not as high as last sem but it’ll do.

By the way, last Saturday, Madi and I attended the Pink Workshop again. We really feel too old for it but then wala namang mawawala saamin eh so we decided to go! Besides, it’s from ages 11-19 so we’re still a part of it, haha! Madi’s friends were with us, Oan & Steph. And it was so much better coz now they’re giving away prizes. I got to bring home a CD of Ashlee Simpson just by saying the blog address of pink. Yeah!! Madi ALMOST got the chance to bring home a Born Lippy from The Body Shop, but then they didn’t call her. Too bad. They’re having another workshop on December. Madi and I are excited for it coz I’m sure there would be loads of prizes once again! We do hope that Jenny would join us coz she’s really missing a lot!!
On our way home we saw the Pinoy Big Brother House so we decided to take at look at it. How baduy! But that’s ok. It was just for fun. We even took pictures! It looks kinda big on TV, but it’s actually small.


Well, tomorrow for sure there’ll be classes already. There’s gonna be a few changes in my sched. I won’t be going home at 9pm anymore, yippee!! Accounting, which used to be from 7:40-9pm TTh, was moved to MW from 7:10-8:30pm. It’s better coz I’ll be home earlier.
a Filipino poem
TUNGKOL SA PAGTATANGGAL NG AMOY NG TAE NG ASO
Mahirap matanggal ang amoy
Ng tae ng aso.
Masinop mang tipunin
Ng pira-pirasong peryodiko,
Punasan man nang punasan
Ng basa-basang basahan
Ang labi ng maghapong pagkain
Nalalabi pa rin ang bantot.
Punasan man ng
Pinakamasansang na pabango
Ang nilapastangang sahig
Natitira pa rin ang baho.
Pahiran man ng losyon
Ang maselang ilong
Nasisinghot pa rin ang amoy.
Kaya murahin nalang ang aso
(Ang asong masisisi ba naman?
Ginawa lamang niya
Ang dapat niyang gawin).
O sisihin na lang ang ilong
Na ayaw paawat suminghot.
O sisihin na lamang ang sarili
Sa pag-aalaga ng aso.
O kaya
Isipin na lamang
Na ito’y pagpapakasakit
Alang-alang sa pagmamahal
Saiyong aso.
Ngunit
Mahirap talagang matanggal
Ang amoy ng tae ng aso.
I think this poem is funny and gross at the same time, don’t you agree? Well, if you’ve taken Philippine Literature in college, then you’re probably familiar with it. If not, like I care! Haha! That’s why I’m sharing it to you,
idiota! Now you know it.
Know something, my professor in Phil Lit, Marvin Reyes, translated the
Kama Sutra book in Tagalog. He actually said that pre-marital sex is not bad and that the only bad thing about it is when unwanted pregnancy occurs, which leads to abortion for some. Is that what you get for reading the
Kama Sutra book? Talk about morals. I still and will forever believe that pre-marital sex is a sin. I respect others’ opinions, so respect mine. Well at least my Theology teacher knows that it’s bad.
