i still havent watched memoirs. :( boohoo.

we were supposed to watch memoirs after tita bebot's wedding last friday but we ended up going to malate instead. it was me, diane, liz, ate kaye, bea, matt d, matt r, mark d, mark m, andrew, ed, kuya mark, and julio. we left the hotel at a little past 11 and first went to pier one. ugh. that place sucks. and since most of us didnt want to stay there we went to malate. haha, the funniest thing happened:

kuya mark david and kuya mark marigomen asking the "receptionist" about the crowd in common ground...

kuya mark d: miss, madami na bang tao sa loob?
girl: oo.
kuya mark d: puno na?
girl: hindi naman, kasi 500 ung capacity ng common ground. eh hindi pa naman abot ng 500 ung nasa loob.
kuya mark d: may mauupuan pa?
girl: oo naman.
kuya mark: maganda ung crowd:
girl: yup. there are a lot of girls inside.
*the girl looks at kuya mark marigomen*
girl: and a lot of boys too.
kuya mark m: what the hell are you telling me that for?!
hahahaha!!

ayun. haha. it was soooo funny. then we went inside and had drinks and danced a whole lot. we left at a little past 3am and brought bea back to astoria then back to edsa shang. we stayed in the lobby and hung out for like 20 minutes or so. la lang, kwentuhan lang. hahaa. we bonded over a lot of simple and corny stuff. hehe. then my mom told kuya mark d to tell me to go to the room to sleep na cos it was so late (errr, early pala. early morning. hahahaa). so i did. kuya mark, kuya jeff, matthew d, kuya ed, liz, and diane went home. the rest of us stayed in the hotel. i woke up at around 7 or 8 cos mom was so noisy on the phone. we had breakfast with tita gina's family and tita marlo's family, tita susan and the marigomen kids. after that, julio and i watched over the datu kids in the swimming pool until tito melo came. i went back to our room to take a bath and pack up. we went home afterwards.

christmas day: it SUCKED. it was so lonely. we just slept when we got to don galo. on our way to fairview, dad was crying cos he missed mama a lot. mom and i were trying not to cry. we called seattle and got to talk to pa ge and gevgev. they just got back from the hospital. when we got to fairview, the oldies played mahjong and us kids played word factory. after dinner the ate kaye, ate tin, and andrew taught kuya jeff and i how to play mahjong!! oh its so fun!! i wanna play it all the time!! hahaha!!

yesterday until this morning: i woke up at 1pm, had lunch, went online, took a bath and dressed up. kuya mark, kuya allan, julio, and i went to shang to have dinner and meet up with the marigomens, matthew r and andrew, and bea. we went to decades in metrowalk to drink and dance. *again*. the boys left us to spot chicks outside and guess who they met- denise joaquin and her friend, juzi. ive always thought she was really pretty and a good actress. so we invited them to join us, they said they'd follow and so we went back to decades. after 30 minutes or so, they joined us. we were drinking and dancing and having so much fun! denise and juzi were so nice, and juzi is from UP also. at around 2:30, the lights went out and it was pretty scary so we decided to leave. but the fucking bouncers wouldnt let anyone out cos they werent sure who has paid or not, people were pushing already and we were demanding that they let us out then we settle who has paid or not outside cos it was a fire hazard. eventually the waiter told the bouncer that we were paid and that we could leave. the ones after us had to go through the same shit, the bouncer was so rude he was even cursing one customer. i mean, what kind of service do they have!?! fuck tlga. we went home afterwards.

so there. right now im in front of the computer. bored as always.

xmas is less than 3 hours away, and i still dont feel it.

and just so you know, thats a bad thing. cos i love christmas! :(

oh well.

still, eventhough our purchasing power is so low now that in a matter of years it would be nonexistent, we should still be thankful that we are alive.

God works in mysterious ways. sometimes you fall so hard, but when youve fallen down, theres no other way to go but up. and God sees to it that we do become better persons in the end.

why am i saying this?

cos mama nene's surgery wasnt as successful as we hoped it would be. there's still half of the tumor left on her brain cos it was too solid. theyre gonna have their noche buena in the hospital. it would seem that mama is so unlucky, right? but when you think about it, its quite the opposite. mama and papa migrated to the states just april of this year, and it was so sudden, then two months ago it was discovered that she has a brain tumor. just this month mama and papa were able to get financial assistance from the govt for 6 months, covering her medical expenses and living expenses, too. and kuyang and ate cham were able to leave manila and arrive in seattle just in time for the surgery. just imagine if they were still here, we wouldve used up all our money and it still wouldnt be enough to take care of her. it really boils down to how you see things. for some, her sickness is the whole picture. but for us, her family, its God doing His thing, making sure everything worked out in the end.

merry christmas to everyone. :) dont forget to thank Him for the gifts of life, family, and friends.

nyt nyt. :)

i sent an e-card to everyone in my address book so go check your mails!!! :)

happy holidays!! :)

♥XOXO♥

im here in my dad's office cos its their (western) xmas party. tuesday was pal maritime's xmas party. sometimes i wonder why i give a lot of effort to these two companies, when my dad gives more than enough effort already. i certainly dont have plans of taking over after i graduate. sometimes i feel that these two companies, esp. western, are my siblings too. i dont know, maybe its cos my dad worked really hard to have these two companies that whenever i "work" for any of the two, i feel like im not even "working" anymore cos its like just one of my responsibilities as my dad's kid. COO nga ako eh. child of owner. hahaha!:) im overworked and underpaid. no wait, im not even paid at all! haha! gago un si daddy ha, inaabuso ako. haha. ive been kidding all the people at western that i should be in their payroll already for all the things ive been doing for the company. hahaha. during western's 1st anniversary at edsa shang last nov 11, i had to make a presentation about western and until that afternoon i was still doing it cos dad's business partners from greece wanted me to add more pictures. i was stressed to the fullest, but you know, when i saw my dad on stage, it was all worth it. i was so proud of my dad. mind you, it wasnt an easy start for him. they werent rich and he wasnt able to graduate college. at the age of 17 he was already working, and he slowly rose from the ranks. he was able to give all of us the best kind of life. im so proud of my daddy. :)

btw, tomorrow is tita bebot's and tito jojo's 25th wedding anniversary. we'll be staying at edsa shang again tomorrow night until saturday so i wont be able to goonline. boohoo. my cousins and i are gonna watch memoirs of a geisha after the wedding tomorrow night. cant wait!!!:)

merry christmas to all!:)

♥XOXO♥

that is what separates people like me from people like you. people like you sit on your asses and talk about it. people like me do something about it.

who says you cant learn anything from WWE/tv?!

is christmas that near already?! i havent started my christmas shopping yet. i dont even feel christmas-y yet. grabe na talaga ang ekonomiya. shit, dati 5k ang pang xmas shopping ko, ngayon 2500 na lang, at card kung hindi madedecline. hindi na lang ako nagreklamo kay mommy nung binigay nya sakin, pero lamo un?! sheeeetttt!!!!!!!!!! lumiit na nga ung amount, nagsimahalan pa ung mga bilihin. kainis talaga. nagpagas kami kanina, ung 1000, 27.65 liters na lang. samantalang dati eh umabot pa ng 30+ liters yan. 2 weeks ago, pina-gas-an ko ung crv, 1000 tpos card na lang. tapos nakita ko sa receipt ung amount ng tax, halos 100php. arghhh!!! eh di sana kung wala yang vat na bwisit na yan edi 900 na lang binayad namin. kainis!!!

so un nga, xmas party ng Barangay Always (barkada ng dad ko since childhood) para sa mga poor kids sa place nila sa don galo. syempre tumulong kami nila kuya sa arrangements and sa party mismo. kami ni matthew ung assigned sa registration, tapos may mga "bouncers" na nagpapaayos sa mga kids habang pumipila sila. nakakainis ung mga nanay ng iba, hindi na pumipila nagagalit pa dahil hindi namin sila binibigyan ng stub. kaya nga CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY dba?! i mean, kawawa naman ung mga bata na nandoon at pumipila tapos sisingitan lang nung mga nanay na un, hindi pa dala ung mga anak nila. kainis tlga. juiceko, ang gulo, parang riot. si kuyang allan first time ko nakitang sumigaw. syempre namayat nanaman ang wallet nila daddy, at pagod nanaman kami, pero in the end it was all worth it. kahit wala man lang nagthank you kahit isa sa 350+ na batang andun, isama nyo pa ang mga nanay at kung ano man nila, eh sige na lang. hindi naman namin 'to ginawa para sa thank you eh. pero syempre, parang pampalubagloob na din un. pero dahil wla, sige na lang. alangan namang pilitin namin silang magthank you eh baka nga naman hindi sila thankful. pero basta, pagod na ako!!!!!!!!!!!!

hindi pa ako nakakapagsimbang gabi. hahaha. wala lang. :D

gusto ko na manood ng memoirs of a geisha!!! i love that book!!!:D ive read it around 7-8 times, and im reading it again! hahaha! pero ang labo kasi sa movie, chinese halos lahat ung mga actors. parang nagreklamo pa nga ung ibang hapon dahil dun eh. pero dba, ang weird. parang ung sa Anna and the King, dahil sa buddhist movie sya, hindi pumayag ung Thailand na dun un ishoot kaya sa malaysia na lang ata or somewhere.

o sya sya, im beat!!! sobrang kapagod. gnayt to everyone!!!:D

btw, Ken Shamrock is on TV. :D i still love him tho its been years since he left WWE. hay. hahaha. pero tanda na nya eh. oh well.

OBLATION RUN 2005
theme: freedom of expression

the oblation:
a man with arms wide-stretched and face facing up, symbolizing selfless offering of one's self to his country. (wikipedia)

the Oblation, a symbolism of what a UP student should be:
selfless, ready to give up one's self for honor, truth, justice, a servant to humanity and to country.

The completely nude (the fig leaf was added to the nude figure upon suggestion of President Jorge Bocobo) figure of a young man with outstretched arms and open hands, with tilted head, closed eyes and parted lips murmuring a prayer, with breast forward in the act of offering himself, is my interpretation of the sublime stanza. It symbolizes all the unknown heroes who fell during the night. The statue stands on a rustic base, a stylized rugged shape of the Philippine archipelago, lined with big and small hard rocks, each and everyone of which represents an island. (http://www.angelfire.com/pro/conserve/sos/facts.doc)

the Oblation Run:
the Oblation Run started during the Marcos Era when a movie entitled, "hubad na bayani (naked hero)" was not allowed to be shown. an APO fratman was among the actors, and so, the fraternity decided to hold its own film showing. however, the ticket sales were very low that they had to think of a "gimmick". after much brainstorming, they decided to have two brods run naked to promote the said film. since then, the Oblation Run has symbolized freedom, each year with a different theme, a different reason for "baring it all".

to me and other spectators, the Oblation Run may just be a group of fratmen running naked, but in reality, its more than that. those dudes running naked symbolize the UP student- fearless, brave, free.

yesterday was our ds100's alternative classroom experience (ACLE). our group had to make bookmarks out of recycled materials with quotes from gandhi. grabe. all i can say is WOW. it was really tiring, april stayed here the other night and we werent able to sleep. i was assigned to deliver the closing remarks and i didnt have an idea how i was gonna make it. it was supposed to be in filipino but since i suck in filipino, i asked sir ponsaran if i could just do it in english and he said i could, and so i did. hahaha! i did it during the presentation so i wasnt able to pay attention to all of it. but i loved the presentation of zara's group about social realism and the renditions of the songs "tatsulok", and "rosas ng digma". i absolutely loved the poster about women empowerment by mawi, quincy, and maita. the poems were about transnational mining, mcdonaldized society, vfa, and the culture of poverty. basta, sobrang saya and worth it. :) grabe, i even called sir ponsaran just "ponsaran" in front of everyone and it was utterly humiliating.

here's my closing remarks:

good afternoon everyone.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Man is the maker of his own destiny, and I therefore ask you to become makers of your own destiny."

In this day and age when fatalism is no longer an option, each and everyone of us is encouraged to take action. Activism is not limited to rallies, pickets, and the like. Activism is advocating, making, and fighting for change. I believe that this Alternative Learning Classroom Experience is one of those many venues for advocating change. While it is a break from the monotony of class discussions, it is even more an eye-opener to socio, economic, and political usses. I hope that this practice would continue to deepen our consciousness on the society of which we are part of.

After having witnessed all the presentations regarding povert, injustice, gender bias, social equality, etc., we must ask ourselves, "what should we do about it?"

Just like what Gandhi also said, "Action for one's self binds,while action for the sake of others delivers them from bondage."

Thank you and good afternoon once again.

♥XOXO♥
