I've got a lot to do so I'll make this short.. ^_^

My life has been a box of every flavored beans.
Come what may, as they say.

I get a good treat once in a while, but with every treat comes a trick.

All work and no play makes one a dull boy.
All play and no work makes one a mere toy.

I'm close to being a stuffed toy.. ^_^

Random Rants...

Why?
Why do I keep on punishing myself with things that I leave for later?
Why do I let it happen when I know that it would only make my life worse?
Why am I easily distracted?
Why am I a complete procrastinator?
Why haven't I changed at all?
Why do I want that which doesn't seem to want me?
Why am I waiting?
Why?

High Altitude
Rocky Roads
Warm Sun
Wonderful Food


Wish you were here.. Seriously.. ^_^

I found my old notebook while I was cleaning and as I flipped through it's worn out pages, I found this:


Pardon the words and phrases I used.. I was in my early HS days when I made this.. It sort of just popped inside my mind and so I jot it down. :P

The original tune of this song was a bit pop-ish..

I'll try to revise it and include the chords.

waaaaaah! ang hirap nung exam sa math! (kasi di ako gaanong nakapag-aral)

Haii.. oh well.. at least it's over.. I'll just do better next exam.. i hope.. ^_^

It's a Saturday today and a there were a lot of things I wasn't able to do..

1. Attend the Build and batch meeting of UNO
2. Help AF with the on-going 9-day tour of Chinese tourists
3. Go to Ching's birthday bash, well actually swimming party over the night at Pansol
4. Indulge in a few hours of arcade games. ^_^ hehe
5. and others...

I was able to do a few things..

1. Take the 2nd Math exam.. T_T
2. Buy a few groceries
3. Watch "Gladiator"
4. Play with my little brother
5. Fax sponsorship requests to most of our contacts
6. Begin typing our report for AR23 Building Construction I: Introduction to Building Materials
7. Post an entry

There.

I wish I had downloading powers. Or if not, at least a Wi-Fi router. ^_^

i wasn't able to attend my morning classes today.. Physics and Math.. Haii..

at least i had a great time yesterday. ^_^ well of course..

I woke up a bit late for the 10am UP Men's Volleyball Match against UE. Luckily, the game started late. So i arrived a bit early for it. UP won 3 sets against UE. Afterwards, we went to Ang Bahay ng Alumni to check and see if the internet cafe there was open. We thought it was open only to find out later that it wasn't. Why are they closed on sundays? Hmmm.. Anyway, we ate at Rodic's while talking about Berserk, Rain and other stuff. Then we walked back to Ang Bahay ng Alumni and that was when we found out that the internet shop was closed. Eh? oh well.. So we travelled to katipunan to go to the next game. But before going to Ateneo, we stopped by National Bookstore to  kill some time. Japanese language is so cool. Korean is quite hard to learn. I think.. ^_^ UP Women's Volleyball Team against Adamson University. Woohoo!!! We were cheering the UP team since we didn't have drums and snares to match the Adamson's. There was this one dude who was alone, cheering for the Adamson players with an awful lot of pride and BITTERNESS. Hahaha! Ang angas nun sobra! So airis started countering his cheer and "using" the Adamson's drum roll for a greater impact. How, you might ask? Everytime the Adamson University drummers would finish beating their drums, airis and i would shout Let's Go UP! or UP FIGHT!!! Hahaha! it was fun.. however, the UP team lost but they did their best..

so far, this year has been a blast. we started it with a household meeting last Jan3 (Wed).. Kuya Jei gave each of us a 'sacramental' in the form of a marble which we were supposed to pass on within 2 days.. thankfully, i was able to do so just before the end of the 2nd day. ^_^

Campus Tour is coming and i'm part of the praisefest team. i hope it doesn't clash with any majors and other activities.

GK Camp is also coming soon. I believe it will be on February. We (me and my co-apps) have to come up with an ingenious Site event (build, literacy training, etc.). we'll just have to work hard and keep our fingers crossed..

so many things to do.. Haha! great luck to us all!

Don't ever doubt love, though a lot of other things can do the things that love does to or for us (You know this: alcohol [love makes the world go `round], onions [love makes you cry], favorite things [love makes you happy], comedy [love makes you laugh], puzzles [love makes you think], coffee [love keeps you up all night or whenever], and other things). Love exists in you, me and everybody else. It exists even in hatred, anger, anguish, loss, embarassment, denial and in the most impossible of circumstances and places. Love God. Love your parents. Love your siblings. Love your relatives. Love your family. Love your friends. Love your other friends. Love your work. Love your companions. Love your colleagues. Love your mentors. Love your handwriting. Love your cooking. Love your enemies... Yeah. Love them too. And don't forget to love yourself as well. There is no amount of love greater than that of God's and He shares it with us. Let us share this love or at least show those who do not see that they are loved. ^_^

I may not have said this before, or may not have said this enough. I care for you all. ^_^

why am i not yet asleep? haha.. no matter.. ^_^
just babbling again.. I've just finished up to chapter 26 of D. Gray Man.. @_@

"We are all fireworks. We climb, shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart.
Then even if that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework and continue to shine. Forever." -Capt. Hitsugaya

Lately, I've been seeing children walking on the streets with toy guns looking all tough and gang-like cursing and swearing continuously. I heard them talking about the other groups of kids walking towards them. It seems to me that these children are playing/imitating things that they shouldn't be doing. With the increasing fear of the streets, where can we find sanctuary? I know it has not been totally safe in the streets for quite some time now, but why must it keep on growing worse? For now, they're just toys. In the future, what'll it be?

------------------------------------------------

The year is almost over and I've only finished 24 chapters of D.Gray Man.. Haha! So addictive.. ^_^ Gotta, finish Nana before the year ends.

Happy New Year everyone! God Bless You All!

Storytelling time:

Yesterday, `twas Christmas Day, I stayed at home and watched TV and took care of my baby brother. It was the first time I watched "Polar Express". Good movie, in my opinion. The boy who did not believe. Hmmm.. Sounds like 'The boy who lived'. Weird... Haha!

Anyway, today was quite eventful. Hmmm.. yeah, quite.. I woke up near noon for lunch. Went near Ministop Teacher's Village to meet up with a few new friends of mine. Then DotA. That's it. I got home around 8pm for dinner, i bought KFC for the people back at home. Uno loves KFC fries! ^_^

May the force be with you. I just finished watching one of the Star Wars movies. It's still a bit confusing for me since I haven't finished all of them yet. One day I will. Hahaha!


------------------------------------- ~_~ ----------------------------------------

Anyone want to watch an MMFF movie with me before the year ends? (eh?) I'd really appreciate it. ^_^ Thanks!
