* wish upon the star *

Today was a very good day.

First off, FormaComm was a huge success! Tara and Pie, you are the most amazing committee heads ever! Hats off to you! You guys rock!

I spent the first half of the day doing rounds. All the Aletrnative Workshops were so cool! I was in Ms Rom's Creative Writing workshop first. Ang galeng nung kids! I'm so proud of them. Then I watched the Wushu workshop [c/o Jon], asteeg kasi feel na feel ng kids. Stopped by Jeloi and Darryl's Self-Defense workshop, and it was fun to watch, because the kids were so excited about it. After, I dropped by the Acting Workshop [of MC's Banaag] - very professional! :D

Then I stopped by the Dancing workshop [c/o CADS & Angel], where Migs, RaPao, and Migo were busting a groove. Haha, inaya nila akong sumali sa kanila, pero sabi ko, "Hindi nyo ko mapapasayaw." ;p Tapos daan akong Singing workshop ng cousin ni Chreesy [Sibolista] - ang efficient. Kahit na it didn't meet the instructor's standards, I was impressed. Bonding kami dun ni Dani sa church. Heehee. Which was also a lot of fun. Then it was break time. I hung out with the Claret Boys, Mendel, Javie, and Michiko, and looked at the Logbook. [Grabe yung Ms. Manalo ni Paeng... Ang specific. *coughcough*]

Tapos napadaan na rin ako uli sa Dance workshop. Haha, I said I'd try the routine once, then I got addicted. Di na ako nakaalis sa Dance workshop. XDD At least nakasayaw na rin ako ulit after a looong time, the last time I really danced was Angel's debut. Saya pa rin! Kaming apat nina Migs, RaPao at Migo ang natirang natibay sa mga tutors na sumasayaw. XDD

Pero on the other hand, nakakatawa rin yung gagong "Everytime" dance nila. I swear - I have to have a copy of the video!!! Hilarious!

Tapos dumaan ako ng Expert Guides sandali, bago nag-lunch out. Pumunta kaming Fazoli's sa Libis. [Layo ng inabot namin!] Masaya! Grabe! Pero mejo pagod na ako nun, so... di na ako sing-energetic. Pero masaya sa Eastwood, sobra!

Then hinatid kami ni Mendel sa McDo.

Right now, may movie-viewing kina Pie. *sighs* I wish I could've gone along diba? Pero no... It's okay. I still have to make an Oreo cheesecake for Parent's Night later. And malamang I can't just meet Chino and my mom there, diba? Masosobrahan na mom ko sa kin. Baka sabihin buong araw na lang... [Which is actually okay... Asteeg naman kasi tao dun eh.]

Haaay... Still want to say more, pero... later na lang siguro.

Thanks to:

Ms Rom, for teaching today. :)

Dani, for our church session today.

Tara, for everything na lang siguro.

Migs, RaPao at Migo, for the dancing.

Pie, haha, for fun at Fazoli's.

Mendel, for the ride(s).

May nakalimutan pa ata ako, pero sa susunod na lang siguro.

Watched the latter half of Sweet Home Alabama for the third time. Have yet to to watch it from startto finish though. Still... There's a certain part that gets to me every time I watch. When Melanie tells Andrew at the altar that she can't marry him, he murmurs, "So this is what it feels like..." It makes me melt, because it shows someone as "invincible" as Andrew is vulnerable, because he is so in love. And what makes it even more beautiful is that he loves her so much that he accepts the fact that she isn't in love with him. It's... amazing.

Haaay...

Song of the moment:

Balisong - Rivermaya

Your face lights up the sky on the highway.
Someday, you'll share your world with me someday.
You mesmerize me with diamond eyes;
I try to fool myself to think I'll be alright.
But I am losing all control -
My mind, my heart, my body and my soul

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted and more.

To speak or not to; where to begin.
The way dilemmas I'm finding myself in.
For all I know you only see me as a friend.
I try to tell myself wake up fool; this fairy tale's got to end.

Never in my life have I been more sure,
So come on up to me and close the door.
Nobody's made me feel this way before;
You're everything I wanted (more). (Repeat 2x)

You're everything I wanted

I would just like to say: Migo - you are the sweetest boy in the world. :)

Thanks for making sure I crossed the road properly.

Will be getting ready in fifteen minutes to go "jogging" in Ateneo with the girls. LOL. Can't wait.

Thought for the day: A girl could get used to this kind of life. ;)

I had a good teaching day today.

Would just like to say thanks to Dude, the most rocking partner on the face of this universe. Dude, you're the best! I had fun teaching Math today - kahit na sabog na sabog na ako. :D

And to all the other tutors, even the ones I don't know so well - you guys are amazing! :) We have more than five weeks to go, and I'm looking forward to each day!

Good luck to the Claret boys tomorrow!

Go La Salle tutors!

[Haha, obvious ba? I want to see the Atenista's dance! XDD Now, if only there were a way to get this, without them having to lose...]

Hmn. Just wanted to bring up two things.

1. I was able to go to Select today. Yes, I crossed in THAT place. No, I didn't hold anyone's hand. But I did it. Thanks Jon. :D

2. I bought a nice new lip gloss - a nude one this time. :D La lang. Sharing.

Okay, so dapat mag-rrant ako - pero I changed my mind.

Josie's kids told me a while ago that a lot of the LnK kids think I'm a tomboy. Think lesbian.

Now, while I have nothing against lesbians, I found this disturbing - because I am not. I was going to rail about how unfair it is of them to think that simply because I wore a guy's shirt to teach once. I was going to joke about how I thought I needed to find a ka-issue to dispel that. I was going to look through my closet and find alternatives to my wonderful guy outfits.

But I won't.

I realize that I tell Tara way too often not to care about what other people think. Doing any of the above would be hypocritical. I will practice what I preach.

Because honestly? Who cares if a bunch of kids think I like girls? It's not true naman eh, so it doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't affect my teaching, it shouldn't bother me or them. As long as the dress code permits, no one is supposed to care. It's not as if I'm interested in anyone who might be looking at what I'm wearing anyway. (At least, not yet. - Joke!) ;p

Fashion is freedom, isn't it? So I'm free to dress comfortably. What's it to anyone?

So there.

Oh, but I'd like to say thank you to Jon anyway, for pointing out ever so wisely that it doesn't juive with my personality to be lesbian. :D <3 kita, sobra!

Feeling: tired
Latest indulgence: consuming the better half of a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar
I want: to get my head on straight
Craving: comfort and a long conversation
Obsessed with: my paranoia
Last Movie Seen: The Count of Monte Cristo (again)
Flipping through: Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas - Bob Ong
Current Project: supposedly checking quizzes
Song I'm Singing: 214 - Rivermaya
Angel of the Day: Xine, for putting up with my insanity

PLUG: Dani!

PLUG: I've been skulking around this place, and have been pouring my anger out on hapless idiots who diss Christian music for stupid reasons. It's fun. My kind of fun, I guess. Anyway, join if you like forums. Put my username in the referral box thing. :D

Okay, so I've just come from Mass, and I feel a bit better. God does that to you.

So I've decided to take the high road. Be mature. Accept. I have a feeling that only Xine and Cara will be the only ones who know what I'm referring to. But in situations like these, it's best to be vague.

I'm not sure if I'm totally over the shock of the accident. No matter how much I joke about it, or how nonchalant I am, I have to admit I'm still scared shitless. No matter how much I insist that I am okay, I don't think I really am. Yeah, so I'm proud.

So guys, if I'm a little needy or if I'm a little inconsistent, please just put up with me. I'm not equipped to deal with all of this by myself.

Okay, trip ko lang mag-blog kasi nais kong ipahayag ang aking pagmamahal sa aking mga minamahal ngayong araw na to.

Angels of the Day: (the extended version)

Trix, I love you! because you gave me one of the biggest compliments I could receive as a Povedan.

Jon, I love you! because ikaw na ang aking bagong karaoke/trip-kong-kumanta/"American"-Idol-tayo partner.

Tara, I love you! Yun lang. ;p

Dani, mahal kita! because only you agreed to sing with me for the proram, and because you put up with my little Spanish-dehydration spiel.

Migo, mahal kita! pero di ko maalala kung bakit... basta alam ko astig ka today!

Javie, mahal kita! kasi ni-libre mo ko sa lunch, tapos inampon mo pa ko. Halubshoo, Daddy!!! ;D

Migs, mahal kita! because you gave me a glass of water with ice when we got to KFC. Grabeh!!! Lifesaver! Tsaka kasi Batman ka rin. ;p

Paulo, mahal kita! kasi tinulungan mo akong mag-calm down nung nag-ppanic na ako sa KFC at gumawa ng excuse. :D Astig ka!

Perry, mahal kita! kasi ikkwento mo sa kin ANG LAHAT, diba?

Actually, mahal ko lahat ng LnK tutors, pero special sila today. ;p

Feeling: shaken

God... that's an experience I don't ever want to repeat.

God, I'm so thankful to be alive.

I'm riding on the aftershocks.

I won't blog any more about it, because my parents might hear about it. I do not need that.
