Chronicles of Curly

I saw how frustrated he was on wanting to carry the brick. He keeps barking at it whenever he can't manage to lift it. Funny Dog.

Cause I have Nothing Better To Do . .

The Rules:
1. Write something about 15 different people.
2. You can NOT say who they are.
3. If someone asks you which one is about them, you can NOT tell.

1. praning sya, sira-ulo sya, good instincts, well-rounded sa lahat ng bagay, makulit sya to the point na gusto mo na syang batukan dahil sa kakulitan nya.

2. sira-ulo din sya, tumatawa five minutes after crying and has good instincts as well.

3. i laugh at the way she laughs, makulit, babaw ng kaligayahan, daling patawanin.

4. minsan hindi ko sya maintindihan.

5. kunwaring tahimik, pero nung nakilala ko na sya, ang kulit kulit na nya.

6. laging hindi puede sa galaan.

7. sabi nya nung una daw nya akong nakilala, kala nya ang taray taray ko daw.

8. gago, tarantado, sira-ulo ... pero matinong kausap pag seryoso ang pinaguusapan.

9. talino nya ... she's done well sa school ... namimiss ko na sya.

10. tahimik sya... miss ko na rin sya.

11. parang seal at horse kung tumawa.. me kasamang 'oink' kung minsan.. LOL ... (I WUV YOUUU!!! {",})

12. laugh trip pag kasama sya.

13. buddy ko 'to. iyakin sya.

14. muntik ko na "daw" syang mapaiyak dahil sa kakulitan ko.

15. she's narcissistic, sira ulo din, mabait na confidante

Compilation of this Week's...err.. Stuff ...

Fete De La Musique

I wish I was in the Philippines to experience this:

Fete de la Musique

It's a musical event featuring OPM bands from different genres of music.

I'm craving live artist performance, not the concert, but the bar type performance, acoustic performance that is. I hope I'll get the chance to see some after graduating. I hope.



DREAMS

I don't know whether I should believe in dreams or not.

I sometimes find myself not wanting to believe them because of how exaggerated they can get. Yet, sometimes I believe them for they seem to answer the questions that I have in my waking stage.

*
I searched Google about God and dreams and I got this from this:

"After this, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams , and your young men shall see visions in those days I will pour out my spirit upon servants and maidens. I will show wonders in the heavens above, and tokens in the earth beneath: blood and fire, and the vapor of smoke."

Do you believe that dreams are one of the ways God communicates with us?

GRADES

My mom was the FIRST one to look at my spring quarter grades. She asked me, "NAKAPASA KA BA NITO??" (did you pass these classes at all?), I said, "I DON'T KNOW MOM, I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THEM YET AND I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THEM AT ALL". I haven't looked at them myself and I don't want to look at them at all. The thought of seeing a much lower GPA than last quarter's one just kills my esteem.

San Juan Island Retreat (06/10-06/12)

This is a story about 15 people, who chose to live in a trailer, within a fifty acre land full of trees and wild animals, for 3 days and to find out how much fun and excitement there will be once the party gets started.
(c) real world theme, with a few words of my own.

Beeyoootifuuulll Town


When we arrived at San Juan, deja vu hit me. You see, this wasn't really my first time on the island. When I was a bit younger, my family and I went on a ferry trip to the island. I remember that we did some walking around the town and base on what my mom tells me, we also did some whale watching too. I couldn't remember that time since it was a bit long ago. But, when I saw the town, everything fell into place in my head.

It is such a nice town. It's like one of those towns where every store and every restaurant that you go into is so cozy and "home-y". The town wasn't that busy at all and I think that the majority of the people I saw were tourists.

The House

The place that we called "home" for three days was an absolute vacation spot. If you just want to get away from it all, and when I mean all, I mean ALL -- this place did not give our cellphones any signal, there was no wifi signal, no shopping malls nearby, no buzzling -- go to this spot.


This place gave us a perfect view of the ocean, sightings of wild animals such as deers and foxes, and a forest perfect for a hiking trip.

Highlights of the Party

1. Awards

The awards night was a pretty funny one. We actually didn't know that we were going to have this activity. It just happened to be sprung up on us when we were all gathered in the living room. The titles of the award given to us were pretty funny. Mine was this:


.... since I'm a big chicken eater.

2. Team Building

The team building event was a fun one too. The deal is that we all have to be partnered up with someone and with that someone you will take turns in leading each other to the beach blindfolded. I was the first to lead mine. I got scared at one point when I saw that I had to lead my partner to this really grubby area that's full of leaves, branches, mosses, thorns and a hole. I was scared because one wrong move that I make him do, something might happen to him (you know who you are.. hehehe.. ).


This activity gave me two lessons: (1) as a guide/leader: you must take care of the one that your are leading and make sure not to break the trust of the one that you are guiding. (2) as the one who is being lead: you must trust that your leader will not let anything happen to you.

The only bad part about this activity was when they told me, when I was blindfolded i might add, that we were close to a snake. DAMN.. that scared the heck out of me.

3. Water Balloon Fight (No Pictures, since I didn't want to go home with a broken camera)

The water balloon fight that we had on the last day that we were there was unexpected, yet fun. When our adviser was leading us to this tree where he carved our club initials on, three guys came out of the trail bushes and started throwing water balloons at us. That got me all fired up so I went inside the trailer and filled a water bottle with hot water to throw at them. And after the water bottle was done, I grabbed the hose and started to spray water at them. YEP. Fun Fun Fun. Fun getting revenge. LOL.

NATURE'S FINEST

I had a field day with my digicam since I was taking pictures of every single natural being that I saw in that place. I saw 2 deers roaming around the trailer grounds. We saw a fox (didn't get a chance to take a picture of it) while we're playing volleyball. And at the end of the team building activity, we walked to the beach.




There, we saw a school of whales swimming around.



It was a relaxing experience, being one with nature and all that crap.It was also fun experiencing sleeping outdoors. I experienced my actual first camping out experience during this retreat. Sleeping in a tent is not bad. hehehe.. I guess it's safe to say that I appreciate nature more now compared to before. I used to hate nature trippings, because I'm afraid of things that crawl, dirt, rain and all that natural events that happen when you do a tripping. But, this island trip changed my whole perspective.

SPENDING IT WITH FRIENDS MADE IT ALL WORTHWHILE.

At first, I wasn't planning on going on this trip for reasons that I can't disclose because I might get killed (hehe). But, when my mom said I could go, which surprised me, I decided to go. It was fun laughing with them and sharing moments with them.




(click on image to see the bigger picture)


After this trip, I realized that I enjoy outdoors-y trips with friends rather than with family. It's much more interesting that way. I'd rather go to Vegas or to California with family rather than go to the beach with them. hehe.. but that's just me comparing... hehehe..

GENERALIZATION ...

My pet-peeves list keeps on growing day by day.

If people assume stuff about someone or something and then let's the whole public know about their "assumptions", without even confirming if it is true or not, I just feel "sorry" for them.

If you have "assumptions", may I suggest to you that you first confirm whether or not your assumptions are true before letting the public know about it.

Confirmation is like science people. Here's how: You first write down your hypothesis (your assumption), then you make observations, then you test out your observations by asking, experimenting or surveying. After you've done all that, then you go make your own conclusions base on the results of your tests.

That's not hard now is it?

I shouldn't say that I'm a saint who doesn't assume at all. I'm also guilty of it. But I know how to control it and I know where I should draw the line.

Finals Week.

I just realized how much rambling I did on yesterday's entry (or I should say entries). I had way too much time in my hands last weekend that instead of studying for the two finals that I will be having on Thursday, all I did was surf, blog, blogread, listen to music and sleep. Hmm.. talk about preparing. I wonder how I will do on those finals? Cumulative finals that is. Damn. Haa.. And now, as you can tell, instead of studying, I'm blogging. This is the reason why I don't like to stay here in my house these days; I never get anything productive done. All I do is work with my computer or sleep. Crap. Crap. Crap.

Ok.. I'm going to sleep.. I'm tired... hehehe.. YEAHH... Ask me on Friday how my finals went and you're most likely will be hearing this from me: "WAAAAAHHHHH".

He's HOT. She's HOT.



Put them together in one movie and you'll be ogling like you've never ogled before.

(ahem.. paging amtot .... paging amtot.. )

How To Deal . .

And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way to dam good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good

Sometimes I think best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good
- feeling way too damn good, nickelback

How Cruel People Can Get

What is up with people with leaving their dogs in their cars while they shop, eat, or hear mass??

It just pisses me off whenever I see a dog left in a car while their so-called "best friends" are out flaunting around thinking that their pets can surmount the hotness or coldness that their car can get.

Just leave the dog in your freaking house!

ang dami kong namimiss

i miss my two best friends.
namimiss ko ang mga laugh trips namin.
namimiss ko mga "talks" namin.
namimiss ko silang kausapin.
namimiss ko yung katarayan nilang dalawa
namimiss ko yung tamang "trippings" namin sa isa't isa
namimiss ko yung mga "reality checks"
namimiss ko yung mga "advices" nila

i miss my "closest-to-best" guy friend.
ang tagal na naming di naguusap
namimiss ko yung mga kalokohan namin
namimiss ko yung mga kuentuhan namin about life
namimiss ko syang bara-barahin
namimiss ko rin yung balugaan naming dalawa
namimiss ko rin yung perspective nya tungkol sa mga bagay bagay

Hay.. Life ...

marami kang expectations sa sarili mo
matataas ang tinatry mong abutin
pag di mo naabot
nagdadrama ka
iiyak ka
magrereklamo ka

pag mataas ang expectation mo sa sarili mo
wala ka
lagi ka na lang magiging stressed
lagi ka na lang seryoso

pinarealize na sayo ng ibang tao yan dati
pero hanggang ngaun di mo pa rin ginagawan ng paraan
para maayos

kelan mo gagawan ng paraan?
kapag wala ng tao sa tabi mo
para makinig sa mga reklamo mo?

andyan si God..
nasa tabi mo lang
iniintay ka lang nyang kausapin mo sya tungkol dun
ikaw naman
di mo kinakausap

ang mga ganong bagay ...

di na kelangang ulit-ulitin
di na kelangang pansinin
di na kelangang alalahanin
di na kelangang bigyan ng panahon
nakakapagod kasi
wala kasing kuenta kung pagtutuunan ng sobra sobrang pansin

marami pang bagay ang mas importante
marami pang bagay ang mas dapat bigyan pansin
marami pang bagay ang mas magpapasaya
marami pang bagay ang mas magpapagaan ng loob

Super Late Photos of Southborder

(Forgive the quality of the pictures. I had to zoom in on them since we're far from the stage. Forgive the presentantion also. I'm telling you, playing around with Photoshop at 1:30 in the morning does not create good presentantions.)

This is a very late post about their concert that I attended last year at Baker Hall in UP Los Banos. As far as I can remember, while watching them croon the crowd with their ballads, my friend and I can't stop oogling over Duncan. This band put up a very good show despite their constant change of lead singers.
