Good thing that I enjoyed my history class. Sobrang okay talaga ni Miss Habana. Actually she's married, pero I want to call her that way. In fact, she has a son who happens to be my batchmate, si Ginoong Habana, but I still have to confirm. She has shared her cute stories once again. Frankie, Mac... her cats which happened to be lost in EDSA and were able to go back home, actually si Frankie lang. I won't elaborate further kasi alam ko OP na kayo. Wala lang ako magawa, kaya I've thought of writing a blog, a senseless one.
What about the pic above? Well, it's Batanes, "one of the best places in the Philippines" according to Miss Habana. Maganda raw. So ako naman nagsearch agad and I found out htat based on the pics, maganda nga. I hope that we could go there someday. Dream dream dream...
Tomorrow, Microeconomics nanaman, Time Series, and then Theo. Whew. Ang gaan ng feeling!

Block X's Original
Let's just say that this is a tribute to block X's original AMC majors that continue to strive for excellence kahit apat lang sila at palaging nadi-disolve ang AMC classes nila. Labo. Since I am going to be busy for the rest of the semester, I've thought of doing this as soon as now. But first of all, pardon to those whose pictures are nowhere to be found and for those who are gonna be shocked since I stole your pics from your own private places.
To start with, I now present to you the Ignite's Block X. Ignite was our OrSem theme. We started as nine different individuals who came from different schools but we ended up 14. Labo!
Whoala?! The original block X are composed of AMC majors. Yes, I was an AMC major back then, together with Toni and Rach, but we shifted to AMF and we're happy to find out that we still belong to the same block according to the RO. If you think that we're still complete even though people shifted, no because Jay and Aris shifted to Math but this doesn't seem to be a problem since they were replaced by several Math peeps who shifted to AMF. They are Jelline, Kathz, Che, and Malerie. Let me introduce to you my blockmates!
Let me start to the ever AMC blockmates, they're the original.
Gary
Shocked? Haha, don't worry. I sought his permission before posting his pic. Together with Malerie, whom I have previously introduced to you, he's also my classmate at Doc Mara's classes except for ma101. He's my blockmate, classmate but the weird thing is, we never became seatmates. We never had a little chit-chat that could help me (or him) adjust to the college demands. Whew, but I've got to know him better lately but I will not elaborate this any further. Just to add, he dreamt of graduating alone as an AMC major and that was before. Next is...
Patty
My AMS buddy. Partner in the FP dept. Partner sa kalokohan. Partner sa kainan? Yes, because konti lang siya kumain, so hindi ako lugi. Haha. Masarap ka-share kasi yung hindi matakaw. That's why we're both the payatots of the block. Don't worry Patty, it will be our turn soon! You might wonder why Patty and Gary look like product endorsers. They made their post for their magazine project and I plagiarized it! Haha. Screw me Patty!
Then, here's chel.
Chel
She's my #1 nerd and masipag sa block. I can always spot her as early as 6:45AM at the bench in front of the OAA, studying. Yes, you've read it right. She's always studying. Not only that, she's also the ever obedient blockmate. She never miss to obey her parents. Good girl talaga!
Then, here's Chino, with his girlfriend, Toni. Just kidding, ignore the latter phrase.
Chino
The block's wanderer. He always roam around the school grounds, with his MP3 player. You may find him serious, pero you're in trouble for saying that. Super kalog nito, masaya kausap at antukin. Remember our puerto experience when he was always caught sleeping and day dreaming?
There you go. You've just known the 4 sole AMC fanatics. Yes, the computer geeks our block will never stop caring for.
Coming up next, the Block X's AMF Majors!

Horse Dung?
I think I wasted my Saturday, tsk tsk.
I went to school as early as 8:10 (I was late for the 8:00 call time) for AMS stuff. We finished at around 9:00. I should have gone to the Lib and study, but no, I spent time with Patty and Marshy. But I don't blame them, it was such a bonding moment for us. I ordered my lunch from Jollibee and ate it at Patty's apartment. I was supposed to attend the workshop but it wasn't really that important so I didn't cancel my DV appointment for the AMS shirt, instead I planned to go there as soon as I have finished eating. But I failed, as always. It was a siesta hour for me coz while watching the Amazing Race Marathon at AXN, I fell asleep right away. Sarap grabe! I've reached a point that I couldn't open my eyes anymore. We left the apartment at 3:30, then I went right away to Kathz' place. Then, we've gone to printer at Juan Luna. Everything settled. So stand by for this design that will capture the Ateneo grounds! Yikes, yabang. Haha.
I would just like to thanks Mors who designed the AMS shirt this year. Can't you recognize the people in the pic? Ehem! Ehem! Haha. So what are you waiting for? Avail the AMS shirt asap!
It's already dark when we went back to the place. As usual, bida ulet si Kathz. Grabe, sobrang bait at hospitable. She fed me a lot, from bake mac, then a chocolate biscuit for desert and take note, she has served me while we're watching Meet the Fockers. Oh well, super relaxation! Tsk tsk, si Mal kasi tinamad at hindi sumama. Salamat ulet kay Kathz, kung wala siya, wala pang AMS shirt. *sniff *sniff. Haha. Then I went back home.
Nagtataka lang ako. I found no single horse dung in my entire DV trip today, na-miss ko lang ba or dahil wala si Patty? Haha.
Did I waste my Saturday? Nah, in fact, I had fun! I guess, I regret that I was not able to study today. I still have a day tomorrow to work it out. Ang labo ko na... wah. I got exhausted this week. Whew.

Friday the Thirteenth
So stupid that I didn't get out of my bed early although I was not late for my first class. The time now? Well, it's 10:42, and I'm inside the library composing this blog. Sobrang bad trip kasi ako ngayon. I've just been from my ma161 class, and the hell, sobrang nakakainis!
Come to think of this: We're given a surprise quiz, but take note, 8 questions! Grrr! For me it's a long test, a surprise long test. I thought it's going to be easy, I'm referring to the course, since a good teacher is going to teach us. I don't know if I should take my word back. I am really depressed. Am I going to get my first F? Shit, I can't do anything. I was alarmed, at least this is a good sign. F*** talaga!
Oh well, I have to go now for a while and i'll try to edit this later when I get home. I still have long readings to read, philo and history! Yikes! I don't want to cram anymore! Tsk tsk!
And I made it. Yes, I'm home now. Time? It's PBB hour and I want to write things about this day. Oh well, at first, I didn't realize that a friday doesn't have to be the 13th day of the month for a person to be miserable. And now it has gone worse, at least until noon when my blockmates ate at KFC leaving me alone in the library.
I've finished all the readings but everything seemed so useless. First, it's very hard to comprehend, and second, we didn't use it in class. Argh, but at least I was able to have a good start though. After classes, Nikki and I were supposed to go to UP but it didn't push through coz we've got no one to visit. I just wasted my load, wala kasi nagrereply sa messages ko. Argh.
I planned to go home rightaway but I failed. I went to the Lib to return the ISTM CD realizing that my effort of buying the CDs yesterday despite my exhaustion became useless since there's only one of my classmates who got her CD from Ms Edith. I saw Patty and Kuya Mark. We went to KwelaOke and I guess, that's the highlight of this day. I enjoyed it. We left school by 7:00PM and stayed at Jollibee until 9:00PM. Now, I am currently in front of the computer, thinking of what to say next.
What about this day? Argh, wala! Nakakainis lang ang araw na ito. Tomorrow, we have a meeting by 8:00AM, I have to attend the Finance Officer's Workshop in the afternoon and I have to go to DV for the AMS shirt. First week's sooo busy. Whew.
I've just seen this pic from my sister's folder. Wala lang, I just want to post it. Aww, I miss HP4!
Red implying anger and extreme frustration.

TTH's Relaxing!
I've attended my Micro class. We've just had a review of the basic Eco concepts. Then, after the first bell, I went to the Lib to get the ISTM CD, which Doc Mara asked me to do. I searched for the CDroms in the Lib but I had a hard time finding it. Kainis lang kasi when I asked the librarian for assistance, she said sa annex pa raw makukuha, so luckily, I got it!
I arrived late at Doc Mara's class, my Time Series and Forecasting class. And he recognized the CD I borrowed from the class and he's also recognized me as PHILIP. We burst into laughter and until now, I can hardly think why Philip? Oh well, anyway, he's really my favorite teacher of all time. Awww, ang bait kasi sobra at sobrang talino pa!
We ate lunch at Jollibee and afterwards, it's our theo mom's class. Siesta talaga! Ang nakakainis pa nito, nalaglag ako sa triad namin ng blockmates ko. Now, I'm with another group. Huhuhu. Oh well, c'est la vie, kaysa naman ilaglag ko ang isa sa kanila. Before I leave Ateneo, Toni and I went to the advance lab, I've read Che's testi, natawa ako. Awww. and I agree with her, whenever we're classmates, star-studded ang block namin! Probable!
When I was near home, kainis, I've remembered that I need to buy CD-Rs pala since I have to burn copies of the CD I borrowed from the Lib for my classmates, so I went to SM North. I saw KD and he told me where to buy a CD. I went back and forth in the cyberzone (Former SM Carpark) and search for the cheapest CD in every store. Luckily, when I have reached the end store, whew, I found one which costs P9.00. It's expensive pa nga eh but oh well, that's the cheapest na sa SM.
I've gone home, ate OTAP (courtesy of SimSim), and tried to burn copies. It was just a 4MB file but there seemed to have a problem, hindi ako makapag-burn! Bad trip. Oh well, papa-burn ko nalang kay Sir Ryan tomorrow. Oh well, eventhough it has been a long day, it still remained a stress-free day for me. Sana tuloy-tuloy na!
Now, I am currently standing by for PBB. Franzen's going to be out on saturday! I wonder how will he react tonight. Hmmmm.

Block Issue
I am really happy with my block. Eventhough we were just a minority among the biggest blocks in town, I am still proud of what we've become after 3 years. Even though Toni, Rach and I left our AMC blockmates (they're only four now since when we're 9 in the AMC block, while Aris and Jay shifted to Math), they're still with us, Patty, Rach, Chino and Gary, in all gimmicks, kalokohan... etc. Pati sa issues, walang iwanan. Even sa isyu, walang iwanan kaya wala kaming pinapalagpas... Nadagdagan pa kami, ang saya talaga!
CNN reports.
I used to post several paparazzi pics on our e-groups homepage. Walang magawa. I've made some but in an irregular basis. And lately, FYI, Toni and I went to the Lib one morning and was shocked by this pic. Chel, with a guy, in the bound periodicals section. I was the one who took this picture using Toni's celfon and whoala?! I took this pic with less than a meter distance from them and imagine, they didn't even noticed it. Tsk tsk, panu nalang kapag real life situation na... wala na, huli na sila.
The big question now begins to enter our stream of consciousness, who is this guy?
I've only realized that it was just __________. Yikes, ang nagagawa talaga ng isyu. Bad xianxu. Tsk tsk. Chel and ____ will kill me for this one. Hala! Ang saya ng mga feedbacks and comments on this isyu, I'll post everything soon until it's resolved.
I wish to feature block X soon, I need to look for pics in peep's archives. So better watch out! Soon!
Goblet of Fire
I've never get so excited like this. I was never bored in class today since it's HP day! My blockmates and I went to see Goblet today at Gateway. This is my craze, which is to never miss a Harry Potter movie in the cinema house. Although I was not really happy about the movie, it didn't fail me with my expectations. I found it great, and eventhough I haven't read the book 4, I felt like there's something missing. I never noticed that I sat there for like 3 hours, time has been so cruel to me. Argh! I only got pissed off when in the middle of the show, I rushed to the CR. Yeah, peeing pissed me off! I was no longer feeling well kasi kanina, and when I got everything released, whew... what a great relief! And I enjoyed the rest of the show...
I really like Hermione Granger, Emma Watson. She's so glamorous! Astounding! Look at her!
Prior to the movie, I have heard a lot of rumors of how bad Cho Chang looks, but no. She seemed really fine to me. Thank God, Heart Evangelista was not able to take the role.
And lastly, I just hope that Harry and Hermione end up together, not with Krum and Ron for God's sake! Haha... Bitter.
Now, I am fulfilled. I got home, finishing COSA stuff. Whew. It's TTH again, tomorrow!
Yehey, tanggal na si Franzen! Vote for Cass! Yahoooooo!

Poor Cass
Few minutes have passed since PBB, when Cass volunteered herself to be out of the house in exchange for Franzen.
Yeah, I was wrong with my prediction. I never thought that it's going to be that way. But I don't care anyway. The moment I have seen the decision that Franzen's going to be forced evicted, I became so happy but Cass took all the excitement from me. I really do not know why she's doing it. Of course, I have already came up with speculations about it but really, Franzen do not deserve such benevolence, Cass! He's pasaway. I never liked him. Fine, he's got the masses but it's because they pity him. Oh well, that's bullshit! Franzen's not really born poor like what was shown. He's deceiving the masses!
But I am not saying that Cass don't, I am not really sure. 'Though I'm pretty sure that the show is the one deceiving us. Tsk tsk.
First of all, if I am going to think of it, why in the first place did Cass give 2 points for Franzen if she pities his family. I can answer fo her. Cass doesn't want him to be forced evicted. I guess, Cass already knew the fact the the masses is on Franzen's side. So whatever happens, even if he gets a thousand nominations, he won't be evicted. And I guess, it's a lot different if he's going to be forced evicted. But still, I want him out!
Secondly, I don't think Cass should volunteer herself in exchange for Franzen. If she's trying to catch our attention, then she might probably succeed but No. Who on earth would risk something that he or she really wants? Assuming that Cass' intention is to win. I saw a better Cass with a better heart. Maybe, the reason why she's doing it is that she's feeling guilty and sorry for Franzen and she's blaming herself for entertaining Franzen's whispers. Look, she must have escaped the nomination if she didn't dwell much on the decision. Now, she's going to suffer. Poor Cass.
I just hope that people can really see the point.
I would really feel bad if she's going to be out.
It should have been NENE! GRR!

I Love TTH!
I was late in my Microeconomics class today for 15 minutes. Luckily, Toni and Marshy have reserved a seat for me. Haha, my eco teacher is funny and I don't want to elaborate on it, mahirap na. Then, Doc Mara's class came right after. Nothing has changed, except for we sat in front, right in the middle of the class room and I starved to death. Ewan ko ba.
We ate lunch at Manang's and we had guests! Imagine?! Haha. There was Bers, who had trouble at the chinese parking lot, and Abi, our COSA friend who displaced me to another table. Haha. Ang init talaga.
Then Toni, Che and I, headed for our theo class at F114. It was boring though the teacher seems nice, hopefully. Kasi she looks like a mommy figure. What a day, we had our barkada eco teacher in the morning, followed by his Dad's class, then finally, the mommy figure. Kaya pala ang gaan siguro ng araw. Whew.
I love TTH! Suave!
It was also lately that I have realized the changes in the campus. The grassy fields and quads are no longer just grassy and messy, because they've put a Zen touch. Yuck, ang pangit ng pagkasabi ko. Wahaha. Yeah, Zen gardens na ang Ateneo.
Reminiscing about the former Ateneo looks...
SEC Field, How clean and green.
CTC and JGSOM

Oh my Cass!
I am busy with COSA and AMS work, but I really can't help it.
PBB Sucks!
PBB is power tripping and it's annoying! They're making their viewers wait. Bad trip talaga, I am very much eager to know why the nomination was suspended. But oh well, delaying tactics. Anyway, if I heard it right and if it's really true, I guess, it's really a big issue, causing a very big conflict. Tsk tsk. So to satisfy my curiosity, I went to search for the house rules and here are my findings:
It says there:
1. Housemates may not plot or scheme against a fellow Housemate. Doing so is against the rules of the Big Brother House.
2. Housemates may not throw dice, draw straws or use any kind of game to select the eviction nominees.
Since it was just Cass and Franzen being interogated, and no one else was called an accessory to the crime, and since they're really not that close to scheme a plot or whatever, I presume then that it is probable that they have committed the second option. Haha, funny as it may seem but if you could remember one time, Cass is making her votes out of nowhere. I mean, what she's showing is that she can hardly vote. Besides, she's fond of predictions, so baka gumamit s'ya ng something para makapagdecide. Haha, how about a crystal ball? Nye, OA na. But seriously, it is probable that she used a game to make her pick.
Or did they consulted each other with their picks? Nah, too far from reality.
Whew, this is exhilarating. Sorry, jologs lang.
I just want to add this pic, haha. I have just seen this at the site. My blockmates will kill me for this. Sorry!
Chx tsk tsk!
Exhausted! Shitty blog!
First Day Funk!
I had a hard time waking up so early in the morning, since I need to catch my first class this semester! Yes, it’s the day that no Atenean have waited for. I arrived in the campus at around 8:50AM. I have met Marshy at the SEC Beach and she went with me for a tour. First, we went to the OAA coz I need to submit some documents. Then, we went to the ATM. Afterwards, we headed our way towards the guidance office. I have had my guidance interview schedule on 4:00 this afternoon. Inside we saw Che, whom we weren’t able to recognize. At first, I have thought that she’s one of the counselors. Haha. Finally, when we’re on our way to the caf, we met Toni along the way at EDSA walk. Whew, what a trip.
My first class on my first day is Differential Equations. Naglecture na agad si Ma’am Debbie! Argh, pero okay lang although I have remember Sucky for his Logistic growth function. Hmpf! Then, I waited for 3 hours till my next class, Philo. I saw Nikki! Yahooo and I found out that she’s also my classmate in Hi165. OMG! Nikki’s my forever classmate during my MWF afternoons! Weeeh!
My first day funk was never for real. Nothing has changed. Mainit pa rin, and nakakapagod. I went home so exhausted after all that happened today.
Tomorrow, I am looking forward to my ECO, TIME SERIES and THEO classes! Sana masaya! La la la La.
The hardest thing is, on my first day, I’m fully loaded with org work. Tsk tsk.

Name
One of the best lyrical poems I have read. Whew. It makes sense. I just miss my Poetry class!
Name
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name
Goo Goo Dolls
One of the best bands ever lived
Oh by the way, the music currently being played whenever you visit this blogsite is courtesy of Goo Goo Dolls. Their music entitled "Name."
Chill out with ma music, eventhough you get annoyed like Marshy. Ehem!

About my F-riend.
Haha.
I'd better start my blog that way, laughing out loud.
You might wonder why, but it's because things are getting on my way. Jenny was out! And above this, beyond my knowledge, the friend of my friend whom he introduced was the vocalist pala of orange and lemons, when I saw him last night announcing something for PBB. Buti nalang, or else baka na-starstruck ako. Haha. But do you know what's the good thing about this? Well, I found out that I have capacity to determine things about a person. Imagine, my hirit to this vocalist was "You sing, right?" out of the blue and all of a sudden. Maybe that's why he was stunned, maybe he taught I've known him. Tsk tsk. Nagfeeling naman. But who cares, care bears? I never gave a damn on that song. Haha.
It's just a night to go before our first day funk. Oh well, what can I say? It feels like there's nothing new, I still feel so tired. I guess that's really the thing whenever classes are approaching. We all feel that the break was not enough, but imagine, it's one hell of a month bumming around out of school!
I've stared at my regform for like an hour? Exag but true. Well, I found out that my forever classmate this sem is Toni. Haha, we're classmates during TTH. I left her hanging with Santos when I chanced upon the available single slot of Habana. Bad friend. Tsk tsk. Santos is known to be a terror teacher, but I knew that Toni can kick some ass in her class. Samantalang ako, I really need to chill out, or else hindi ko kakakayanin si Santos. Oh well.
It's not only that! I don't know pero ang sama ko talaga. I laughed at her pic, during Kathz' debut. Pero I never thought that it will turn out negative kasi I really find the pic funny, no offense meant. If the pic's really bad, I never give a damn on it. I don't laugh or whatever coz I know that I will be hurting the person. But on her pic, eventhough she hasn't seen it yet, nagtampo na siya. And I felt so guilty. Huhu... Kasi when Mal arrived, she didn't laugh, ako lang. Kurt's true... hmpf! I turned out to be bad, laughing on someone's pic.
"Nakakapagod na kasi maging jolly palagi." - The most dramatic line I have heard, ala confessions of a drama queen. I felt as if we were alone in Jollibee, only the two of us. It feels like I was caught in the middle, like I was trapped. I don't know what to do, how to cheer her up. Really bad friend here. Tsk tsk. Pang-asar ko kasi. Buti nalang, I rode on to her drama moment, and all of a sudden, we're quits. Malabo! Gano'n talaga! Wahahaha.
Oh well, Toni, Rach and I were the forever blockmates but Toni and I made it out of destiny, I guess. Kasi si Rach, she really applied for BS AMC, while Toni and I were accepted in BS MATH, and then we just changed it to BS AMC, and now we're on BSM AMF. Also, we're forever present in all the block endeavors, even in AMS. Oh well, how can I be so cruel with this forever friend of mine? Huhu. She warned me about posting her pic here, so I might as well post a group pic. It's up for you to locate her in the pic.
The Mcdo Babes
This is about my forever friend, buddy... basta forever.
Chaotic Reg-BF Day
Yesterday was registration day for juniors. I woke up so late, around 7:30. I was supposed to be in school by 9:00, as what we, Kathz and Patty, have agreed on, but I was so stupid. I ate my breakfast and checked the schedule list at the website and see if there's an improvement on the chance of getting good teachers. Well, it just took me an hour and three quarters to do everything, together with taking a bath, choosing what to wear, combing my hair (which was less than a minute!). So it's 9:15AM and thank God, Rach called.
"Xianxu, san ka na?"
"Papunta na ng school, bakit? Ano na ang number?" (Coz my random number's 145)
"150 na!"
"Shet, nde nga? Nde nga? Nde nga?... ( A lot of hindi nga!)
"Hindi, joke lang, mga nasa 60 palang! Bilisan mo! Mabilis ngayon!"
"Shit kayo, bwisit. Sino nagsabi noon? Haha. Sige sige, I'll go ahead now! See you!"
I continued fixing my things. Printing the schedule file that I downloaded a while ago, and Rach called again. Actually, Toni's already been texting me but I was never stressed as much as Rach, Patty and Jelline! I am actually inside the trike now when she called, and my heart was really near to explosion, palpitating so badly. Whew.
"Xianxu, asan ka na?!"
"On the way na!"
"Bilis! Nakapasok na ang 125!"
"Hala, cge cge, magtataxi nalang ako!"
"..."
I took a cab, which I rarely do only at life-and-death situation. I really have to catch the good teachers or else I'll end up with Arcilla and Dacanay, and the P66.00 I paid for the taxi won't compensate the hell semester that these teachers are going to give me. I felt so pressured, even the cab driver was nervous. He drove so fast, and luckily, we're safe. It was a 10 minute drive from T.Sora to Ateneo. I got my reg form stamped and met Rach and company at the Kostka Extension. Whew. What a relief when I saw Toni with them, coz her random number's 127.
Anyway, the reg this sem seemed so fast. I got good teachers, luckily as there was 1 slot left for Habana and I really chanced to get it. Haha, Gerald (my assessor) said "Relax ka lang, para kang ni-re-rape." Of course, it's a matter of a semester and I want to do good this time.
If it has been so good to us, well on the other hand, it's been the worst with Malerie. Tsk tsk. So after eating lunch at my fave fast food, I accompanied her to finish her reg in school. In there, we met Pigey. I waited for so long, I have talked to a lot of people, K, JB, Leslie, JP... and other assessors.
I had to leave the area so I went to the ECO dept. and ask the secretary about Malerie's case. I saw Sir Simon-King, my Basic Eco teacher. Haha, I complained but it's too late. I received a text from Malerie and she said that she's done with assessment. So we went to the cashier, then to the ID validation area.
Hmm. At the area, I saw Paola, my ChCE friend. I gave her a compliment by saying, "Buti ka pa, maganda magdikit ng sticker hindi tulad nung kanina" and there was this guy before her who told me, "Would you mind to stick this here (pointing to the ID)." I said, "Ayoko nga, hindi ako marunong." So what's the point? He was guilty although he wasn't the one I was pertaining to.
Oh well, piece of a nitwit. How could he do that? Tsk tsk. Poor guy that I used to see around campus. Hmm, actually I've talked with him during OrSem. I wonder why he's forgotten me now. He's the older guy who stopped schooling that's why he's our batchmate, while my friends and I we're laughing out loud at the kotska extension, he was there and stopped, looked at me cynically and said "Would you mind to hush a little bit?" I got over it, and now, he's done it again. What's wrong with him?! Get a life, whoever you are!
Chaotic, that's why.
Anyway, to relax ourselves, Mal and I went to BF. It was just my 2nd time and her first, FYI. Our agenda, to have a hair cut and release the stress. Our desired hair cut, bahala na si batman. So we had our haircut and we're both not satisfied. In my case, it was just shortened, nothing new. For Malerie, she didn't see the difference but for me there is. What's the lesson, if we're expecting a major transformation and we're asked what haircut we want, we should say: "I want a new look, a better look." Then, it was only after that you're leaving it into his hand. Bahala ka na.
I went home, took a bath and slept.
It has been a long day. Whew.
Two days to go and it's 2nd sem, argh!
Oh by the way, let me introduce to you, Ms. Malerie Dy. Yikeeee!
Hi, I'm Maldyta.
We've been close for how many years now, since we became classmates since first year at Dr. Marasigan's class. We've got our dramatic moments, we're both addicted to blogs, YMs, what else? Our difference? She doesn't like Magic realism as a literary genre so she dislike Harry Potter! Screw you! Haha. Just kidding! And lastly, Math witch to! Hindi wizard, haha. She's just the MTAP National Champion during our batch!

Angst over Jenny
I went to SM to buy some stuff for school. Since I won't have time after today. I arrived home late since I left home early for dinner. Anyway, I have just seen PBB on TV. Yeah, some of you doesn't want PBB. But who cares? I watch it, though it has been my favorite sometime last semester. I remember that time, I will close everything (notes, books, computer... etc) from 10:00PM-11:00PM. Haha, I was a fan then. Haha. This semestral break, when we went to Puerto, everything turned out the other way around. The 110% enthusiam went down to -10%. (Xianxu, where's your math?!) Haha. Everything turned out to be a so-so but the ironic thing is, I never missed an episode after Nov5.
Anyway, back to the point I want to drive at. Well, I have seen the list of nominees for the eviction night and of course, I have my own bet. Segway lang: Actually, there is only one that I hated at the very beginning, si Ma'am, who should not be named. Haha, bitter. I don't know, she has this aura that I never liked. Going back again, after the show, I went to the PBB site and thought of the idea of making my own PBB story, haha. Oh well, I played with their pics and made my own props. Enjoy!
First of all, if I represent the public (fishing!), I will evict Jenny. Sorry but she deserves to be hammered as shown. I never felt her presence. Tsk tsk, idinadaan pa sa awa. Tsk tsk. Haha, two men who get the sympathy of the masses, and two women hearthrobs, so wala siyang laban. Tsk tsk. Bye bye Jenny.
Nominees
Secondly, since I have evicted Jenny, here's my pick. I have my bottom three who will get evicted after jenny in order from left to right starting with Nene. Then, next will be Sey. Finally, the one I liked the most, Cass! Eventhough she communicates so bad, I can sense the beauty inside her. And I really adore how beautiful she is. Everything shown, even in FHM when she was featured, nothing compares. She never looked ugly even when she wakes up, maganda pa rin talaga.
The Pyramid of the Champs
But I think, since this is a hit, ABS will take the opportunity to make it more than a hit. So if ever there will be 3 who will be left inside, i'm pretty sure that Cass and Uma will be there, and so Jason or Franzen. Tsk tsk. So I guess, Sey should replace Uma in the bottom three and it's either Jason or Franzen to share with the 3rd and fourth places.
For me, the most exciting thing that can happen, and my wish, is to have Franzen and Jason back-to-back in the nomination. Only the two of them. Haha!
Oh well, there. I am now closing my PBB book. Naiinis lang talaga ako kay Nene, Jenny, Franzen. Hahaha. Sorry, I'm so bad. Huhuhu. To those who hate PBB, fine, loser na kung loser. I know that each of us has his own ka-jolog-an in a sense. So ako, PBB tapos marami pa. Wahaha.
I'm sleepy now and so excited for our DV trip tomorrow ma blockmates.
FYI: DV - Tutuban or 168? Haha.

Para Kay Hong
Hindi ko mawari kung bakit kailangan ng ibayong pag-unlad ng aking blog. Tsk tsk. Hindi ko rin mawari kung bakit gusto mong gumamit ako ng wikang dayuhan. Naku, hindi mo lang siguro maintindihan. Haha. Isa ka sigurong panatiko ng aking mga lathalain. Nangingisda na ako, ayon ka Malerie.
Gusto kong ilagay ang larawan mo rito ngunit baka isumpa mo ako. Pero naisipan ko pa rin. Ngunit sa tingin ko hindi ka dapat magalit dahil ang ilalagay kong larawan ay magsisilbing promo para sa iyo. Haha. Mukhang ipinagbibili ang blog mo. Hahaha.
Para sa giliw na mambabasa. Narito at kayo na ang humusga sa sinasabi ni Hong. Hahaha.
Ipinapakilala ko sa inyo, ang aking kaibigang si Il Hong!
Tada!
(Here I am, laughing out loud! Don't worry, I'll take your words for it. Thanks doc!)

A Little Devilish Plan
On the day people were going to the cemeteries, I left home and visited my cousins and nephew at Antipolo. But as early as 1:30AM that day, the reason why I went there is that I have chatted with Lizet, my Fave Cuz (as she says it) for like 2 hours? She invited me to come over and since it has been 5 months that I haven't seen them, I said yes. But it wasn't just the thing that we have talked about for 2 hours, we've talked of her boys, her career as a flag football star (haha, just kidding), and the most interesting part, I guess, we've talked of our little devilish plan.
The Little Devilish Plan
We planned to drink liquors on the night of my stay. We have laid down our options, from tequila, to vodka, until we end up with beers. Since I never liked SMBs, we agreed to buy Red Horse. I'm missing Puerto. Anyway, so here's the plan that I know that I shouldn't be telling here:
I'll drop by the grocery on my way there. I'll canvass the prices, and if it's okay, then we'll buy it. Our budget, P50 contribution. Haha. Cheap. But since a can of Redhorse already costs P24, we've decided to buy the grand-size bottle of it at the store inside the village. Then, we'd hide it up to her room when I arrive and we'll drink it when everybody's already sleeping. At first, we've thought of drinking it at the terrace but since malamok, sa dining nalang, at least accessible sa ice in the fridge. Baka mahulog pa kami sa stairs. Haha. After we finished drinking it, we stuck to our rule that nobody should know (or else, patay!), so we've planned to hid it somewhere and in the afternoon, when nobody's around, I'll throw it up on the garbage bin outside. Then, mission accomplished.
It seems clean though, but no.
Execution
On the day I left home, I dropped by at Puregold and seen a tequila bottle for only P114. But I've doubted on it's taste since a Jose Cuervo nowadays cost P1000+. Then I went to Robinsons BigR at the Metroeast. I was about to buy the Redhorse, I was just waiting for Lizet's reply, pero antagal. So I decided to buy a prepaid card muna. Then, when I went out of the supermarket, I saw Adrian with his mom, Ate Anet. Whoala? If I have bought it, then I'm busted! Whew. So since kasama ko na sila, I didn't have the chance to go back for the beers. Pero at least when she asked me kung anu ginagawa ko sa mall, I said, "May pinapabili kasi si Lizet." Wahaha.
We arrived at their house, and I hurriedly told Lizet about what happened and we laughed about it and as usual, she made fun out of my new hair. What's the big deal? It's YUCKY. Right. I planned to stay for just an overnight and go home the next day since I have a lot of things to do but I needed time to relax a bit and chose to bum around. I stayed until saturday, playing side Bs. Haha (Ate Anet, c/o)
My Brief Break
I didn't do anything except for playing with the kids, watching TV, VCDs and DVDs, eating and sleeping. Haha. Lizet and I used to sleep during the day and make our lives at night. I've watched series of films, mapa-HBO, VCD and DVD. There's Cinderella Story (na hindi ko na-take sa sobrang walang magawa), Prisoner of Azkaban, Million Dollar Baby, Mary Reily, etc. Gusto ko sana yung Alias and 24 marathon pero baka mabitin lang ako, so next time nalang. Pero among these chores that we've had, I can never forget the nights when we sneaked in at the kitchen and cook food for ourselves. On our first night, we cooked noodles and rice and inubos yung favorite nyang Bangus sardines. Haha, siya taga-ubos nun. Pero in fairness, masarap. The next night, she cooked pancit canton (tapos tinapon nya yung powder ingredient sa trashcan so wala nang lasa). Then, we ate the barbeque. Tapos on our last night, whew, ang saya. It's the night when Mommy Elyn arrived and ordered pizzas at Pizza Hut and McChicken. Sarap. Hindi talaga ako mahilig sa pizza, I only ate 2 slices out of how many left. Yikes. Si Kuya ang matakaw.
During our midnight snack, as we call it ever since, we had this conversation, our bonding moments. We've talked of the usual atenean stuff, and ateneans! Yes, we've had a lot of common friends and we've talked about them. (Yes, you you and you!) Haha.
And it has been our bonding moment. Aww. Mauulit pa kaya? Hmm.
Oh I forgot to mention one thing:
The Mastermind
We have been the closest cousins ever since. There's just a difference of a few months between our birthdays. During occasions, we're always together with that kind of plan. We drank flavored lambanog, etc. Kasi nde pa kami pwede uminom before (when we were HS students then). So nasa sulok lang kami lang, making all sorts of plot. Haha. So who's the mastermind? Haha, those who deprived us from drinking. Whaha. Just kidding. Kasi we've talked of our Puerto Night, and that triggered everything, I guess. Was it me? No! Wahaha.
Anyway, this has been made by request and request has been granted.
Let me introduce to you, my fave cousin (as she calls it).
Tada! Lizet.
Puerto Galera eXperience!
It’s been three (eleven na!) days after we left Puerto Galera and up to this date, I can’t still have a grip on my experience there at the White Beach. It was only now that I’ve realized how I miss Puerto Galera. One day, I say to myself, we’ll be back.
Pre-Puerto
As planned, the night before we left for Puerto, we stayed at Toni’s house in Villamor Airbase. I met Rach, Jelline, Neal and Toni at SM Makati. Nag-grocery kami then we took out our dinner from Greenwich. While we’re eating, Chino called Toni and said that he’s at Gate 1 of Villamor. Toni asked if he’s on cab, sabi ni Chino: Hindi, nakikita ko na ang taxi paalis na. Katabi ako ng guard. Then all of us burst into laughter. We decided to have a walked and fetch Chino at the gate. There we also met Chel and on the way home, we saw Kathz getting off her dad’s car. Finally, all of us were together. Puerto mode na kaming lahat. Time check: it’s around 10pm. When we got home, PBB na so nanuod muna kami. Haha… Wala na silang tigil sa pagsasalita tapos ako busy watching.
Oh I forgot to mention on how cool Toni’s dad was. Haha. He made a lot of kwento about Puerto Galera, on how we’re going there. On how it looks like. Maloko and super funny like what Toni has been telling us.
After PBB, we went upstairs na. Changed clothes, prepared to sleep. There were two rooms. I stayed on the other room with Toni, Chel and Chino while the others are on the other. In our room, humihilik na si Chino and Toni (Figuratively), while on the other room, sobrang non-stop ang kwentuhan and chikahan. Parang hindi na matatapos ang kwento at sobrang excited na for Puerto.
How can I forget noong tinakot ko sila. Haha. I told them na may mumu sa bahay ni Toni, mainly sa CR. I went there pa nga and went to bed beside them. Closed the lights. Then I suddenly heard a weird sound coming from the comfort room. When I opened it, the other door of the CR (kasi it’s accessible to both rooms) it moved. Whoala?! So without their understanding of pressure since naka-aircon both rooms, natakot sila lalo na si Rach. Tumakbo ako sa room namin and they followed. Actually si Rach lang. Haha… We made some kwento, until hindi na kami nakatulog, well, ako 30 mins lang ata super light sleep lang parang zombie. Nahirapan silang gising ako, as usual.
I took a bath, ate breakfast, rode the van and slept while Toni’s dad drove us to the Batangas Pier. Puerto here we come!
Puerto Day 1
At the Pier
We arrived at the Pier at exactly 5:48 in the morning. We were early kasi we’re planning to catch the 7:00AM trip of the Montenegro Mini Ship to Balatero, Mindoro. Take note that we didn’t ride the Gorgonilla boat na deretcho na sa Whitebeach kasi takot si Chel. Pero our trip at Montenegro, super fun. We sat on the side deck of the ship overlooking the mountain at the Batangas Peninsula. We even saw Dolphins racing with us. It was my first time to ride a ship and it was like heaven. So calm, relaxing, and for me, romantic. Awww.
We arrived at Balatero, around 9AM. Tapos we need to ride a trike to the White Beach. Tinataga kasi kami ng trike. They’re asking P150 for the one way trip to the White Beach. Tapos, si Mr. Tawad (Neal) came to the rescue and made his bid down to P80. Pero we settled it to P100 per trike para matapos na, mainit na rin kasi ang panahon.
We finally arrived at the White Beach! Yahoooooo!
Sun was up, it was steamingly hot, and we’re hungry and thirsting. Of course, we have to look for our place first. Marami kaming napuntahan pero we end up with the Blue Water Lodge since nakasabay naming yung may-ari, si Mr. Hau, sa Montenegro mini-ship, so medyo nakakuha ng discount.
We ate at a restaurant nearby. Tapos, diretso na sa beach! There were times that it drizzles pero sobrang umaraw. Ang saya! At first, malamig yung sea water, pero later on, ang sarap sarap! We took pictures here, there, made castle, buried myself in the sand, again, took pictures here, there, and everywhere!
The sun was about to set when I went to our room early. I was so sleepy. Nakatulog ko for 2 hours, exacto at natapos silang lahat maligo. And so I made my way to the comfort room. Oh, nagising pala ako dahil nag-iinuman na sila. They firstly drank the vodka, took a sip of the strawberry flavored vodka, ate ate ate.
IT was 7:00PM when we decided to go out and dine in somewhere for dinner. We went to the restaurant with videoke. Haha. Sing-along at the 2nd floor. Si Neal, walang tigil sa pagkanta, eventhough the foreigners were already staring and giggling on us. We ate a lot of grilled fish, squid and liempo. Sarap! Free juice drink nga pala kami since Mr. Sau suggested that restaurant.
We went back to our room. Stayed a bit. Suddenly, someone brought up the idea of drinking. Kami kasi ni Jelline, when we went to the grocery, marami kaming kinuhang drinks like Red horse, SMB in cans, etc. Toni and Rach bought the vodka’s. The Gilbey’s vodka, the one unflavored, unfortunately, nabasag. So the nasayang yung margarita mixer. Haha. So there, Jelline and I bought ice at the restaurant where we had lunch. Then we’ve thought of the idea of drinking at the shore. We brought everything, including Rach’s sarong. Haha. It was our bonding moment. We shared our 3-2-1, lots of revelations… etc. Haha. Then Rach and Kathz suddenly played on me, pinaikot nila ako. At first I thought, hanggang sa malapit lang pero grabe si Rach, tinulak nya ako diretso at malapit na sa tubig. Grabe, sa sobrang bilis, nakakain ko na ang buhangin. Grabe. Nagpaikot ikot din kami. Grabe ang saya. Then we went to Mikko’s bar.
Mikko’s Bar
We ordered a pitcher of Mindoro’s Sling and made our shots. Haha. It was drizzling kasi so we transferred to my favorite table, the Nipa hut table with high chairs. The eight of us were there, and there were only 6 of us who drank the drink. Si Chino kasi nagconvert na, and si Chel, hindi talaga umiinom. Good girl. Ang saya, we made our toasts… etc pero Chino, Chel and Neal went home na agad around 12midnight. So the Fab5 were left. Haha. Kwentuhan galore, shot ulet, shot shot shot.
The Fab 5!
Ang saya. Iyon lang masasabi ko. We were there, still continuing our shots hanggang sa maubos na iyung pitcher ng Mindoro’s Sling. So we opened the Redhorse cans. Dalawa lang naman. Jelline and I shared on it, kasi silang 3 hindi umiinom. It was only then that I have realized na super sarap pala ng redhorse and totoo nga, malakas sumipa. Nahilo kaagad ako.
Si Rach, haha, hindi na makausap. Super silent na. Haha, a guy called her fone and she answered in a very slow manner. “Baaaakkkkkeeettt kkkaaaa bbbaaaa tuuuuummmaaatttaaawaaag?” And we burst into laughter. Hahahaha.
Si Toni naman, una naming napansin, super tahimik na. Haha, asar namin: Lasing na!
Si Kathz, our dear yaya. Just kidding. Siya kasi kasama naming sa CR lagi. Nahihilo na kasi ako nun that time and they said na hindi na diretso ang paglalakad ko. Thanks to her.
Si Jelline, wala na rin sa sarili. Haha. Niloloko na ako. At ako naman, naloloko. According to them, which I don’t know if it’s true, sinasalinan daw ako ng drink n’ya. Kasi nagulat ako hindi nababawasan ang drink ko. Tapos noong nagreklamo ako dahil andaya ni Jelline, tumawa sila tapos hindi raw nila ako sinasalinan. Haha, weird pero inubos ko naman. Actually, when they went to the comfort room, ininom ko lahat ng drink sa glass ni Jelline kasi baka malasing sya, which I don’t want to happen, pero according to them ulet, ako ‘yong nalasing malamang.
Here are some of their and our kwento when we left the bar at around 2:00AM:
1. Hindi ko na raw sila marinig kaya wala raw ako maalala.
2. I was asking for a stick of cigarette from Jelline for me to try, mapilit daw ako. At na-touch ako dahil Jelline didn’t allow me, nagalit pa nga sya sa akin eh.
3. Sobrang natutumba na raw ako.
4. I pee-ed at the shore near the water. Nakakahiyang isipin. That was the craziest thing I did so far.
5. Humihiga na raw ako sa sand at sobrang lakas ko raw kasi hindi na nila ako kayang akayin.
6. We went to Kurt’s Room (Jelline’s friend), where Toni and Jelline or Kathz used the CR. Jelline or Kathz, Rach and I were left with Kurt and he took pictures of us, or just Rach. Shet, I can’t really remember. All I was saying daw was: Please stop taking pictures of her. Pero it’s no big deal. We’re still on our senses anyway. Haha.
7. On our way, Toni was accompanying Rach while Kathz and Jelline were helping me. In short, inaakay ako. Honestly, I can’t really remember what happened, basta inaantok na ako that time. Siguro nga I got drunk. It was only until when a stranger (or snatcher) attempted to snatch Jelline’s mini body bag, which contains our money and her celfon. Nagising ako bigla sa pagka-antok. Grabe, nagulat nalang ako at si Jelline nakaupo na sa sand, kasi we need to pass through an alley to get into our room and it’s dark so iyon. When I saw Jelline crying, I looked at the end of the alley, where two men were standing. Not really standing as-in like waiting, but there were just staring and making there way out. Parang takot sila. One was payat and wearing a white shirt, and the other, medyo chubby and wearing orange (sa akin) and red (based on Kathz). All that I have in mind that time is Jelline and the other girls security so inakay namin ni Kathz si Jelline and we rushed to the room. Jelline got wounded at the lower part of her neck, as in the strap parang bumaon. Yikes. Really painful and Jelline cried out loud. And of course, there I was feeling guilty.
Makulit daw ako. Sorry nang sorry. Pinapaligo na raw nila ako pero ako raw labas raw nang labas sa CR. At nonstop sorry. Well, super feeling ko kasi kasalanan ko. Yuck feeling ako. Kasi kung hindi ako masyado nag-inom, siguro hindi nila ako inakay and we we’re all upright so most probably hindi magtatangka si Manong magnanakaw. Oh well, pero sabi nila, it’s nobody’s fault kasi nag-aabang na talaga si Manong. It was dark pa naman so wala na rin akong nagawa.
Haha.I am very sorry for keeping you wait long. Haha, according to Mal, feeling ako. Haha.Kasi ba naman, I left for vacation the next day after I wrote the Day 1 of our Puerto Galera Experience. Then after 4 days, which is yesterday, I came back. Tapos, I got sick pa with colds so I need to rest the whole night and day. So eventhough I haven’t had enough rest, and since tomorrow’s the initial start of the Second Sem, I’ve thought of finishing it na. So without further ado, here’s the day 2 and day 3 of our Puerto Galera Trip:
Puerto Day 2.
I woke up dizzy. Yes, after the heavy drinks I drank last night. Time? It’s 9:00. Actually, I heard Neal waking us up at around 8:00AM pero I chose to go back to sleep kasi nga sobrang inaantok pa kami. Our task for today, well, is to look for another place to move in for safety’s sake. Pero goodluck kasi among the 8 of us, there’s one na super sarap nang tulog. You might suspect that it’s one of us, the ones who stayed until 2am and got drunk, but no! Si Chino yun. Hahaha. Tulog na tulog siya noong nagkakagulo kami last night kaya when he woke up, he started asking questions on what happened the other night. And there came Toni to the rescue, and started narrating everything. Haha, of course.
We packed our things up and then said goodbye to Mr. Hau. Honestly, ang bait nga nila eh. They even encouraged us to move out. Oh well. I remember Quiroga tuloy when Mr. Hau dialed a number on his celfon and said, “Hello Konsehal, this is Mr. Hau. Goodmorning…” with a chinese accent. Haha.
So we left Blue Water Lodge and found Nipa Hut. Yes, our place was just on the 2nd floor of Kurt’s room. We saw Michael having his breakfast at the nearby restaurant (Nipa Hut ata). We got it for Php1200.00 after the very long tawaran portion between Neal and Ate Maricel (the owner or caretaker?). It was supposed to be Php1500 kasi pero Neal’s insisting to lower it down up to Php1000. Pero naawa na kami tsaka inaantok pa, so we settled for Php1200.
The room was much bigger compared to the former although it was not as good as it. The heater disappeared, un lang and amoy kalawang yung tubig. Oh well. Wala ring exhaust fan kaya you know… Yikes!
Anyway, since we already got a room, we’re now ready to continue our adventure. Yahooo! Another day of fun and excitement! Well, first plan: Snorkeling but it was drizzling. Yes, and our katiwala (haha), si Rosien, is still locating our boat. Na-traffic ata sa dagat. So we waited long enough for us to decide to have our lunch first. And we waited ulit, sobrang tagal, kasi made to order pala yung restaurant. Haha. Who would mind ordering different dishes, isang beef sinigang, beef nilaga, chicken something… etc. As-in magkakaiba. Haha, nakuba na ata yung nag-iisang cook nila. Oh well.
Then finally, we finished eating and went back to the room and prepared for snorkeling. But Jelline decided to stay and sleep, after what happened to her. Sayang talaga. We went to the other part of the beach and tada!
Snorkeling
This was the best experience of all, for me. We went to a nearby shore, I meant to the other side of the island. I was feeling so cold then; actually all of us were shivering to death. We took pictures with the help of our tourist guide, Rosien. Haha. How can I not have his pic to show you? Argh!
Oh well, we left the boat, worn our vests and goggles, and that tube something which I do not know how to call, and made our way to the water. Swam here, float there. I saw lots of amusing corals, of different shapes, sizes, etc. Even fishes, yes, we fed the fishes with our baon na ube bread. Haha. Super fun. What can I say, if only I have a waterproof camera, tsk tsk , then I should have taken those God-given creatures. Aw.
We stayed there for 3 hours without noticing how fast the time had been but it’s not the only thing that we did there, we also did the stone-throwing-making-ripples. Haha, Well, I really don’t know how to call it. Haha, I’ve made consecutive good shots! Haha, pero Master Chino pa rin! Haha.
Anyway, while doing snorkeling, napadpad ako sa super taas na coral na halos lalabas na sa tubig. Gets? Sobrang na-trap ako at natuhod ko yung isang coral, tapos nasugatan ako. Oh well, up to now, sobrang nangangati pa sya and malaki ang scar. Ang weird kasi maliit lang naman ang sugat pero ang laki ng scar. Oh well.
Pero ang nakakatawa, kasi sinamahan ko si Neal na lumayo from the shore kasi nga nahihirapan siyang makakita, unlike Toni na naka-contact lenses pa (Na-take mo?). Tapos, biglang naiwan namin si Neal at nung binalikan ko, feeling ko malulunod na ako kasi gusting-gusto ko nang tumawa, at i-open yung mouth ko at ma-choke hanggang sa pumasok na ang lahat ng tubig. Pero na-control ko. Haha. Kasi ba naman si Neal, kung maka-kapit dun sa mga corals na mababaw (dun sa nakakasugat) sobrang higpit at nasisira na ang corals. Para kasing petals yung hitsura ng mga corals na pinagkakapitan ni Neal at binabakbak. Parang wala lang sa kanya. Haha. Maninira! Kung ako nga eh sobrang ingat na ingat at halos daliri ko lang ang panghawak ko at hindi kamay tapos s’ya halos patayin ang tirahan ng mga isda. Hahaha. Tapos si Rach naman, mahilig mag-isa. When Toni, Kathz and I were having fun in the water, and Chino, Chel and Neal were having fun on the shore, si Rach, aba, loner at parang naka-freeze sa tubig. Parang may kinakausap ang mga isda. Ewan ko ba. Pero sabi nya, she’s enjoying naman daw. Oh well.
Time’s up. We went back to our room tapos dali-dali naman kaming nagpunta ulet sa shore for BANANA BOATING!
Banana Boat!
Sobrang saya rin nito. Haha. Andun ako sa harap ng banana boat, next to me is Kathz, then Toni, tapos Jelline, at tapos may isang mama, si Kuya. It cost us P130 each, P20 under the usual P150. Ang saya saya, pati yung mga driver ng speed boat. Nag-eenjoy. Pero pinakagusto ko yung kapag hinuhulog ka sa water. Para kang tinatapon sa dagat. Ang saya talaga. Hay… Just look at the pictures nalang.
By the time we came back, aba, biglang sumakit katawan ko. Kaya naisipan ko na ring magpa-massage kahit hindi ako mahilig, at never in my life na inisip ko. Hay ang sarap.
Massage… Si Ate M.
Ang sarap. Nakakakiliti pero understandable kasi baguhan lang ako. Nakakainis lang at muntik na ako makatulog nang biglang umambon, kasi we were laid on the sand while they’re massaging us. So we moved dun sa parang cottages pero mukha kaming ewan. Pero okay lang kasi madilim na noon. Ang sarap pero ayoko pa rin magpamasahe kapag hindi masakit katawan ko.
We went back, at tamang tama, dinner na. Masarap din ang food kahit may pineapple yung ulam naming ni Jelline (kasi kami yung share). Ang swerte ko nga eh, si Jelline hindi masyado matakaw. Haha. Object kasi ako ng kasungitan. Haha.
Tapos, they went to shopping. Ako naman, dahil tapos na ako, nanuod nalang ko ng TV. Then I saw the Prisoner of Azkaban being shown on HBO, parang ayoko nang lumabas pero wala na akong nagawa. Inuman time!
Back to Mikko’s Bar.
We all went to the bar. Michael approached us and offered his table. Kasi promise n’ya yun sa girls pero hindi nagpatalo ang daddy naming si Neal, kaya we enjoyed the night with each other. Kaso umulan, so lipat kami sa kubo like my fave spot, pero occupied. Actually and honestly, I was not feeling well na nga that time so ako naman, lahat ng utos sinusunod ko kahit bumalik pa sa room at kahit malayo. Makapaglakad lang ako. We ordered Mangyan-Mangyan, a heavy drink or it’s just heavier than the Mindoro’s Sling last night. We made our shots and noong half-full nalang, we transferred na to my fave spot kasi sa wakas umalis na yung mga tao. Tapos naubos na ang Mangyan-Mangyan. Then, I took out the beer cans that we bought from the grocery, SMB Strong Ice and Light. Ayaw namin ng normal pero grabe, wala pa ring sinabi sa Red horse. Ang dami ko nang nainom pero walang epekto. Oh well.
Tapos, Michael and Kurt approached our table. I won’t dwell onto the issue with them kasi nga may kinakarir sila. Haha. Sa atin lang ah, si Michael, kay Rach tapos si Kurt, kay Jelline. Tapos dumating pa yun friend ni Kurt na ala-Lucky Manzano raw, at yun yung kay Kathz. Ay onga pala, by the time we transferred to the new table, Toni and Chel left na. Kasi ba naman si Toni, after 5 consecutive shots of Mangyan-Mangyan, namula ng sobra. At si daddy Neal naman, to the rescue! Pinaghilamos si Toni. Haha. Nakakatawa sobra, kasi sabi ni Neal: Wag lang ganyan (parang wisik wisik) kundi dapat sa buong mukha, hilamos! Tapos si Toni naman, todo hilamos. Hahahaha.
Anyway, iyon. The girls were making chikka to their boys, I was talking with Chino na hindi pa rin umiinom. He just ordered the Apple shake na sobrang sarap at type ata nung barista na si Heart, kaya ayun, hindi nasama sa bill. Naawa na kasi ako at mukhang bored na bored na si Chino tapos walang makausap kasi si Neal, busy sa kakachikka kay Heart at sa iba pa.
Ah onga pala, we miss the bar girls (?). Our favorite, si Tanya. Then, there’s Heart, Paula, and Cristine. Tama ba? Basta sila. At mukhang favorite nila kami kasi nasa table namin sila lagi. Nakikikain. Haha. Kasi ang bait namin, todo offer. Tapos, nagshowdown pa nga sila at halos magiba na ang kubo dahil pinaglalambitinan ni Heart. Hahaha. Kita na panty niya. Haha. (Hirit ni Tanya, nagmadali kasi sya kaya nakataas na ang super iksi na skirt nya… Haha… Nagmadali!)
And they taught us the expression: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Parang wiwi.
We’re really not giving up, not raising the white flag to how late it was during that time. Walang iwanan sabi nga ni Kathz (our finale toast last night). Cheesssy! Haha. Tapos, bigla sa kabilang table, na-shock ako. Ako lang kasi ayaw ni Kathz tumingin pero ako tumitig at sila Rach naman, hindi nakita.
I saw the wild girls.
Wild Girls
I never thought that witnessing such tremendous and horrible scene. This is what happened. The people on the other tables began to stand up and dance. Party’s up na siguro. I’ve heard people from nearby bars dancing the PBB theme song. Yikes. Tapos, a girl suddenly invited her bf to kiss her. Yeah, they kissed, FK. Well, that took them around 4 seconds. Talagang inorasan ko ha. Haha. Then, her friend approached her and said: Kayo ah, you’re trying to make out here ah! Tapos sabay kissed sa girl. Yes, girl to girl. According to Kurt, kasi nga doon sya nagstay sa room nila, nakaTIRA raw yung mga girls ng shroom ata, and that made them act so wild and crazy. Hindi lang iyon, at the bar table, na may barista sa gitna, aba, there’s this unknown guy teasing the girl’s girl friend (iyong walang Bf) by saying that he’s gay and stuff. So si girl, parang ewan, naniwala and they made, not the FK thing but worse, I don’t know how to call it pero they were like doing a tongue-to-tongue thing. Yikes talaga. Saan kaya babagsak yun, hmm, hindi ko na inalam.
It was already 3:00 AM when Neal suddenly approached me and said that he wanted to sleep na. So I said, sige hatid ko na kayo ni Chino, kasi inaantok na rin sya. Tapos we discussed several things about what happened that night. Then he went to sleep na. Tapos si Chino, sinamahan pa rin ako pabalik sa girls. On our way back, nasalubong na namin sila, with their boys. Haha.
Tapos, we finally came back to Nipa Hut. We had this farewell talk among ourselves and finally went upstairs, to our room. Night is up!
Puerto Day 3: The Finale
I woke up late. We were to catch the 10:00AM departure of the Montenegro Ship back to the Batangas Pier. We all didn’t take a bath except for Jelline who swam to the beach and had shower after. I fixed my things then, and thanks to Rach coz I ate her Sneakers chocolate bar as my breakfast. Sarap!
We were able to catch the 10AM trip kundi magagalit si Chel sa amin, since she needed to be home asap in the afternoon. We arrived at the Pier past 12 noon. Then we had our lunch at Robinsons Lipa, Patty’s mall.
Robinsons in 6 minutes.
We ordered two bucket meals at KFC but while they’re waiting, Toni and I made our tour in the mall. Toni told me that in 10 minutes, malilibot nanamin yun. But no, we were able to pass by each store, to stay and look at the movies, to wait while the escalator brings down, for only 6 minutes. And that made our day. Haha.
Going back to Manila... sad
The Exorcist!?!
LOL!
The van dropped us to the LRT station in Katipunan, and each of us made our way home.
Whew. Seven-paged experience.
This is the Ultimate Block Outing.
