Not-so White lies.
June 28, 2008
I know people from time to time have the need to lie. And I think those lies are called white lies.
A white lie would cause no discord if it were uncovered and offers some benefit to the liar, the hearer, or both. White lies are often used to avoid offense, such as telling someone that you think that their new outfit looks good when you actually think that it is a horrible excuse for an outfit.
Liars abhor me. Especially those who lie for the smallest and most pathetic things. I know it could mean something to them, but still. Lying won’t make you better. It would, for a while, but it would eventually destroy you. Lying about your nationality, your age, your hometown and other small things won’t make you a better person.
It’s only midterms and it feels like it’s the end of the world. Next week would be the start of the midterm exams and I am so having trouble with my Economics and Philosophy class. Hopefully I could pull up my grades with the project and the exam. Economics is fine, but it’s just really complicated and really challenging. Flunking it is not an option though. Same goes for Philosophy. It’s not that easy, but I’m surviving. It’s just that I haven’t been doing well with written quizzes and all that. But I do well in activities and manage to answer during recitations. I just hate it. But thoughts of flunking are out of my mind. I am going to pass and I am now determined more than ever.
Sunshines and Wasted Days
June 24, 2008
News has it that there would be a signal number 3 typhoon that would hit Luzon. It actually did, but only for a day. Instead, it was Iloilo and other northern provinces suffered. DepEd cancelled classes on all levels and I expected that it would be really stormy outside so Mom decided to pick me up from the dorm. Then came the next day. Wee, hello, sunshine, no rains, no storm, no thunders, and no lightning. Yet again, another wasted day. Then the next day, we didn’t have classes too because it’s Manila Day. I just hate not being productive. Though it’s so ironic since I hate going to class when I don’t feel like it.
So today, all my plans of going around Binondo, Ongpin, and Intramuros got cancelled. All because of the damn Philippine heat. We ate lunch at the prestigious Sofitel Spiral buffet and man, that place is really the shit. Haha! I’d love to go back there! They have international cuisine! I loved the Indian food, their pasta station, the cheeses, the dips, WHITE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN, and desserts! I was taking pictures of the food when suddenly this butler guy told me I’m not allowed to take pictures. Ugh. I’m also paying, you know. Only sad part is, the buffet is expensive. So I can’t eat there everyday. Haha.
So after that, the plan was to go to Intramuros to take pictures. But then it’s so hot and Mom and I felt sleepy after eating so she just decided to drop me off at WM with Lala. Fun day. Lots of photos. 
When Bein’ Proactive Ain’t Workin’
June 20, 2008
Yeah, so I kind of had a bad day today. I tried diverting my thoughts and being proactive but I’m just really pissed off. I don’t want to go into details because the people involved might read this and get affected and react wrongly and make the issue bigger than it already is. Anyway, I’m so stressed and tired and I lack sleep. I’ve been thinking a lot and I’ve made a list the other night about stuff that I will do and so far, I’m holding up pretty good. I didn’t skip classes today. Well, I don’t normally do that but there are just days when you don’t feel like getting out of the bed at 5:30 in the morning.
And I think I’m starting to be insomniac. I have not been getting enough sleep and it’s so hard for me to sleep at night. I wonder why. It’s 1:34 am right now and I’m ranting about random stuff here. I can’t help it. There’s nothing much to do when it’s early in the morning and your friends are asleep.
I was sms-ing with Trish earlier but I guess she fell asleep already. Oh and I’ve been thinking of ways on how I could get money to buy an external hard disk for my MacBook since I’m running low on memory now. I’m still thinking if I should just get it in Thailand because Mary told me that gadgets there are cheap. Well, my Thailand trip is still two months away. Gosh! I didn’t know it’s going to be soon! I guess I could still carry on for two months with only 12.89GB free memory. Well, iPhoto keeps on duplicating albums and I don’t know how to solve this dilemma. Hopefully I could figure it out soon so I won’t have to delete some of my memoriesss.
I’m also going back to the place where I got the little porcelain doll because they’re on a sale and I intend to buy another doll. But this time I’d be getting the taller ones. Like more than 12 inches. It’s really cheap, compared to the ones I got before. And hopefully I could go to the States next year to buy more! Downtown LA is a great place to search for dolls since they sell them for low prices. But beware of the scary-looking street bums.
Ugh. Looks like I’m not going to get any sleep again. It’s 1:41 am. I should end this. Now.
Chill-out Thursdays
June 19, 2008
Today Mary and I worked out at Adriatico and then went to this nice Indian place with cheap Ssssh and food. 
We ordered Kebab shawarma and hommus (which I lolololove!) Then we went to Rob to get her soap and to get my school stuff. Then I suddenly had an impulse-buying attack. We entered Blue Magic because I know they have porcelain dolls. Turns out they’re on a sale, but I didn’t bring money but I still ended up buying this cute angel, Charlotte.
Finally! Something to look forward to!
June 16, 2008
In about a month from now, Cinemalaya would again, hold an event at CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines) for indie Filipino filmmakers. I missed last year’s Cinemalaya event and I’d totally attend this year! It would be on July 11-20, 2008.

Super Sleepy, But Super Satisfying Saturdays and Sundays
June 15, 2008
Yeah, so basically my title summarized everything that happened during this weekend. I was a bit stressed, tired, and sleepy but nothing stopped me from partying! Haha!
So I woke up at around 6:30 am, was sms-ing with Mary and then got ready for class. At 11 am, I turned into Super Woman and changed and got ready in less than ten minutes! Waited for Mary to pick me up and then we headed over to Tomas Morato. We checked in the hotel and I tried to take a nap, but I just couldn’t. Then Mary got prepped up for her album launch that afternoon and I decided to take pictures, and lots of them!
Her album launch went very well. Lots of familiar places in that room. It was held in Dolce and it wasn’t so packed and that’s good. Her performance was terrific and absolutely jaw-dropping! Her voice is so magnificent and very honed. She’s a very accomplished person for someone in her age. Her songs were well-written and composed and even her music video is outstanding!
After that, we rested for a while in the hotel room then got ready to party the night away. We first got a few drinks at Pier 1 then went to Napoli because her parents and bandmates were there. We ate some food, drank some more then chilled at Dolce. I took a lot of pictures during the weekend – more than 400 photos! Haha! I met new people and got to hang out with them. Awesome people, they are!
Then we chilled for a bit in the hotel room then Mary and I started pigging out an hour after all of our friends left. I slept at around 6 am and woke up at 9 to catch our breakfast at the rooftop! Food was mediocre, but who gives? It’s free!
We checked out at around 10 am then went home to Mary’s new condo. Man, her condo’s a suite and one of the best condo’s I’ve ever been to! Then I finally took a nap and took more photos. Fun weekend, it was!
Oh, and this is the artist I was talking about in this post:
Fun Fridays
June 13, 2008
I was wrong with my last post. I shouldn’t have said that it’s a f*cked up day. Despite it being the Friday the 13th, I still had fun. And it has something to do with this specific earthling. Haha! Well, I should probably wait for the day to end before I judge it. Well, Friday’s been a great day for me. The PHILOMA class wasn’t so annoying, unlike most of the time. CATHWOR was absolutely fun because we didn’t do much and it was fun watching and teasing Ed and Yana. Haha. Lovebirds! And I talked to Carlos and his Chinese friend. And I must thank Carlos for being kind enough in teaching me Gangsta Talk. Haha!
“Why do crackers have holes and not cracks?”
F*cked Up Fridays
June 13, 2008
So I ended up not getting sleep again last night. But I did something productive (kind of): continue reading The Secret and made a header for my WordPress blog. You’re probably wondering why this day is f*cked up. Well, it’s not really. I just think it is because of my lack of sleep and I’ve already consumed two cups of coffee, but I’m still sleepy. I swear I’ll try to get some sleep when I get back from school later. Three more classes to go and I’ll be in a deep slumber.
I really wish my school were in a compound. Just like Ateneo, DLSU, UP, and UST. You see, DLS-CSB has three buildings. And before you get to the other building, you have to cross roads (at your own risk), walk under the heat of the sun, pass by street children (who ask for money and make you feel guilty when you shoo them away. Well, that’s what it does to me, so I don’t like seeing them) and annoying motorists. GRRR.
And my back still hurts and it’s been days already. I wonder what’s wrong with my back. I’d like to get a nice massage real soon so it can ease the pain a bit. If only I could give myself a massage. But that is not possible.
I took my dSLR out of its cage today and tried to take pictures. But I look out of my window and I see nothing inspiring me. Or maybe it’s just because I’m not feeling it today. I really can’t wait to start sample shoots and maybe I could join this photography class at Intramuros. I hope my Mom lets me.
Okay, I’m really really really sleepy now but I have to be in class in twenty minutes. Ugh.
