sometimes, you earn the right to rant
Last Thursday, the day I've been anxiously anticipating for weeks now has finally been over. You've guessed right if you thought of THESIS DEFENSE. The verdict? Passed with some revisions. Coolest thing ever.:D I will not go into details about the things I had to put up with during the whole process of doing the study because it'd be pointless by now. Now that I've finally gotten through it, I'm just glad to be able to say that I truly deserved passing because I know that I worked for what I've earned, as well as some other groupmates who stood by me. The rest of the group have the freedom to evaluate themselves too. I'm not putting myself in the position to judge others because it wouldn't be necessary. They know themselves well and they each know how they've performed throughout this whole thing. You can play apathetic but you can't possibly lie to yourself. So yeah. I believe I'm ranting again. But this is the very first time I've ranted about thesis stuff so give me a break.  Anyway, being just in time for stress release, Thony was again invited by Dialogo to play for them at the SMB Battle of the Bands last Saturday night. Of course, being his official groupie, I was there to watch and cheer for the band. They totally rocked with "Message in a Bottle." :D I had fun at the event except for those times the emcee had to take over the microphone. No host could be grumpier than the guy they had that night. I think he had issues with some of the bands or something. But still. Dude, it's a "happy" event. No need to be all scroogy. I'm really liking this four-day weekend thing. It should be made regular. LOL.:D P.S. Hi to my friend Nico! Thanks for dropping by. You always make me laugh like mad. :) Labels: blah, making sense, photography, school, skool 8.28.2009
how to put yourself in trouble
Today, while BF and I were hanging out, I suddenly blurted out that I was crushing on a guy at school. Two seconds later, judging by his immediate reaction, I realized it wasn't a very good idea. Yeah, 'twas kinda stupid. At least I've been honest! Sure hope we'll just be joking about it tomorrow. I'd be damn lucky if that happens.XD * * * I edited this one a few days ago. It's amateur-ish but whatever, I like what it reminds me of. Photo was taken last summer at my grandma's old house just before the family had it demolished.
I got myself a new tumbler which means I will be drinking even more caffeine than I already am drinking.. I guess this also explains why I'm still up and blogging at 1am. I'm like, SO WIDE AWAKE right now. O_0 Labels: blah, photography, showbiz lovelife 8.21.2009
the product of procrastination
Ok, so yeah. I'm still alive. Surprise. On this not so very special day, I am officially blogging again. I'm needing some kind of inspiration to get me writing just like in the old days.. probably a pink sunset or something like that.  Photo: a summer sunset from our backyard. A LOT has happened since my last blogpost. I don't even know where to start or if I'm even going to start trying to narrate at all. I feel kind of undecided these days. Undecided about I don't even know what. So yeah, this has been a totally random blog post and I think you just threw away 30 seconds or something of your life reading it. P.S. I didn't intend this to sound too sarcastic nor is my mood really that gloomy at all. I promise though that next time I shall sound more cheery.XD Labels: blah, photography 4.06.2009
kicking off summer
03.30.09 with Group 47 at the Anvaya Cove, Bataan.
A summer getaway.. just what our group needed before we officially start off with the thesis proper. It was a day that would remind us that we actually do love each other whenever we already feel like ripping each other's throats out because of the pressure we are surely about to face.     This is not the first of our group's bonding episodes though. We've been finding ourselves out together a lot lately.. mostly procrastinating at Ate Jayzelle's house, at the mall or at some random bar 'til dawn. This group has definitely developed and is now very different from the group I saw on that very first day of the semester. They're not merely classmates to me anymore, they're real friends.:')Unfortunately, this blog has missed out a lot on this sem's most memorable moments. Maybe I'll try to write a recap just before I leave for the summer affiliation. I miss blogging. I miss a lot of things.. AND PEOPLE. Ciao! P.S. Can't wait to hit the beach again tomorrow with my dear girlfriends!:) Labels: blah, favorite people, photography, skool, trip too emo for a title.

20 ain't so bad!
 As of today, oo bente-anyos na ako.Unfortunately, I'm now officially excluded from the teen age bracket.. Oh well, everyone is to get old someday. So what's the fuss?! Special thanks to God for making things extra special.:D Looking back, I realize He has given me a lot of good people and things which I didn't even ask for or which I didn't even totally deserve. So yeah.. BTW, congratulations to Siklab-Group47 for passing the thesis proposal! yey. The hard work paid off after all.:) I shall be back to real blogging again soon.XD photo by: edie-is-in-the-air 1.25.2009
to blog or not to blog
I really wanna blog about something. But I can't. I'm not supposed to. It's just not right. Whatever. Anyway, whenever I am bothered by something lately, what never fails to make me smile is seeing this baby's photos. I came across this cute little thing during our group's duty at the community of Ninoy Aquino. Upon seeing him that day, I thought he was sick or something because he had that sad and pleading look on his face. But then it turned out he was just really drowsy coz about 30 seconds later he fell asleep! :D I have this evil plan of going back there and stealing him from his parents. But then that's evil. So nevermind.XD Labels: blah, emo-schemo, kawaii 1.01.2009
the year that was
 2008 was really kind, to me at least. I hope 2009 does the same for the rest of the world. HAPPY NEW YEAR EARTH!:] photos by kahriz and ynna. ***  Btw, I spent the holidays with my first ever set of girlfriends (girlfriends since birth) : my sister Tin and favorite cousins Kahriz and Ynna. Too bad it'll be two more years 'til we see each other again. *** ..also had some quality family time during the break. Hope you did too!

grace under pressure
photos of the event are posted at annscreams.multiply.com   How do you start writing about a really really long story which for you is somehow too big for words? Err. That's my problem right now. Let me just put it this way..Soo.. AUF's Mr. and Ms. University 2008 is finally over. And I won. LOL. There. I said it. I don't even know how to tell the tale or where to start or which details I should disclose. The whole experience is just surreal. I mean, it's not like I joined Ms. Universe, Ms. Earth or Bb. Pilipinas, but this event is still "something", at least for me and the rest of my university.  "All I want is perfection, nothing else" If I'm not mistaken, our director screamed that at us, the 24 candidates, during our first real rehearsal for the coronation night.Last December 6, I was NOT exactly the embodiment of perfection. I even had my fair share of bloopers on stage, having exited the wrong way during the sportswear competition (LOL!!haha:D). Nevertheless, I came out there as, well, ME.  Truth is, the competition was not what was mainly in my mind. Instead, I thought about enjoying every moment of it because somehow, even if I don't admit it a lot, the whole thing is a dream which actually came true. Oh and yes, I also focused on not tripping over. haha. The venue was perfect. Much like a scene straight out of a fairytale book where royalties vied for one crown. However, what was happening backstage was a complete opposite. Chaos is the word. Good thing my mom never left me. What could I have done without her?! Anyway, for the record, I got the title Ms. University along with JD Hizon as Mr. University. We were both candidates #11. I guess 11 was a lucky number that night.:) I was awarded Ms. Photogenic and for some surprising and unknown reason, I was also Best in Sportswear.   I know it's too early for thank you's but the support I received from the following people is just overwhelming: my wonderful parents (best parents on earth!!), my sister Christine, the rest of my family, Thony, Red, Biggies, Rochelle (wish I could do it the way she did it), all my closest friends, and the College of Nursing. Indeed, I am so blessed.  Other people may think that pageants and beauty queens are overrated. I say, this experience has helped me become more real and actually believe in myself, having been the girl who used to never really have enough confidence. I also gained new friends through my fellow candidates.The story didn't end during the coronation night though, it actually was just the beginning. Good luck to me for the next 12 months! Everything about this is totally new to me.xD  BTW, barely two weeks after all that, I had to fulfill one of my first responsibilities (wow I actually have responsibilities now. lol.) which is to compete for another pageant, the Mutya ng PRISAA (Private Schools Athletic Association) Regionals at Bulacan. I spent December 15-17 being absent in school (which saddens the nerd in me because I missed a lot) and mostly rehearsing or hanging out at the hotel room, living on burgers and mineral water. I wasn't exactly a fan of the adobong manok back there. I guess I just got used to the way Kapampangans do it.XD Anyway, since God somehow likes me a lot (hehe kapal) I got the title Mutya ng PRISAA for Region III along with two other special awards, Ms. Photogenic and Best in Filipiniana. (Medyo nawweirdohan na ako sa mga pangyayari ah. hehe.). I'll be in the national competition in Bicol next year so cross your fingers for me..:) Thanks to the special people who became part of those three days --- my co-candidates, Sir Poklong, Sir Boron, Ate Ardi, Franchette, Sir Polic, Sir Dumboo, Sir Daenos, Sir Adrian and the kind people from CCA. I'm supposed to thank God in here too but I'm sure He knows that already. I asked Him a little but He gave me a lot.XD I realize it's almost Christmas already, my favorite time of the year! and Yay I'm actually blogging again..OMG it's been TWO MONTHS since my last blog post. What a shame. I missed this place..XD Labels: blah, favorite people, ms. Univ., school, skool 10.20.2008
this is but random.
"I was aware of the time slipping away so quickly, like the black road beneath us, and I was hideously afraid that I would never have another chance to be with him like this again — openly, the walls between us gone for once. His words hinted at an end, and I recoiled from the idea. I couldn’t waste one minute I had with him." ----Bella Swan, Twilight  Ok so I'm a fanatic. Leave me be. On a lighter note, I spent the whole day shopping with my sister. We both got new piercings. Haha. Trip lang. Had some coffee at Starbucks too. Then headed home and gulped down some alcohol.. just because we can't come up with anything else to do. BTW, had the pictorial last friday. The people were awesome.. that's from the photographers and their SLRs which made me drool, the director of photography, make-up artist, designer, stage parents and stage friends.:) Special thanks to Sir Poklong.:D And oh Nursing week was great too. Too bad I wasn't able to savor it coz I was busy with something else. Fck. I missed the games! Yeah I know it's loser-ish. I made it a point to be there at the acoustic sessions though.. Thony played guitar hero again. CON band rocked. Detailed post later, probably.  Need some sleep right now. Nyt earth. Sleep well.XD Labels: blah, family, favorite people, ms.

another one down. three more to go.
1st sem is over. surprise. surprise.  This has got to be the shortest sem ever.Well, it feels that way. I must say, nabitin ako.  Anyway, like any other normal student I've also been longing for sembreak to come. But now that it's finally here, somehow it doesn't feel right at all. I've only spent one day of vacation at home and now I'm bored out of my mind. Feeling ko wala akong silbi. Hehe. I guess I've just been used to the toxic lifestyle.
I'll miss III-4 (yung mga ka-close ko lang ehehe).  P.S. Oh and about that previous post.. Yes, for some obscure reason and weird turn of events, I did end up getting into that Ms. Univ. pageant. Sshhh.. don't ask why or how. Anyhoo, finals night is on December. Well, I'm new at this thing so wish me luck! Hope I don't trip over or say something funny out loud.XD I can't believe it's October already. I've kind of been losing track of time lately. Ciao! Labels: blah, ms. Univ., photography, school, showbiz lovelife, skool 9.28.2008
stand really straight and glue a smile
..and after that it's back again to my normal self. whole story later. i've got a huge case study to finish. bummer. ciao.:D  Labels: blah, ms. Univ., school, skool |
