Back to School, Scripts, etc.

*sigh* Back at school. Hahaha. I was not in the mood for it, actually. Usually, when the break ends, I'd be packing my things already kind of excited to see my classmates and friends. This one's different. I just slacked off watching TV. Only at around 12 did I realize I had to wake up early, so I crammed packing. I was having too much fun, and our break was too short. The most bitin ever.

That night, I couldn't sleep. I still had my Christmas insomnia--something I developed over the break. I was in bed by 12:30. Being in bed doesn't mean being asleep. I was jsut there. Bored. Not asleep--trying to though.

At around 2:30 I decided to take a snack , and into the blinding light, I made a sandwich. I would have had some pandesal, keso de bola and Christmas ham. But I couldn't find the Christmas ham--but I found the meat for beef steak, tilapia and the Christmas ham sauce. I would've cut the keso de bola but it was too hard and too messy. So I settled with the pepperoni that was lying around. Took some normal cheese and pandesal. Hahaha!

I finally fell asleep at around 3. And woke up at 6. Bad start: I thought the school bus already took my green envelope. I was mistaken... good thing we didn't need the contents. Hihi.

If I had a bad start, I had a bad ending: the school bus left me. I was already at gate 4. Waiting for the school bus. I regularly took trips to the real gate and see if it was there. When it finally came, I went back to my seat. Fixed my stuff. Talked a bit more. When I was about to go out. Poof! It's gone. Dammit! It's a good thing the van was still at the office. *phew!*

Today was fine. I finally got the Step Up CD! Wow! Thanks sobra, Jer!

Filipino class, I took the time in the library to grab a book on some plays. Just my luck. I found 21 scripts by Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero. Yeah... the writer of Condemned. So far, I've found 3 good scripts to present tomorrow. Hahaha!

In other news, it' script, script, script time! LOL! We've gotta make a script for Filipino. For a movie about Balagtas's life. Ang galing ng title namin. ROMANSA: Ang Pag-ibig sa Likod ng mga Tula. LOL!

In Science, I've been made scriptwriter for our bodyworks. Mr.Q kasi! No one volunteereed so he said... "Stage FX!" Pangalan ko ang lumitaw. Hay! Lapit ngang naging director... He said, "Luis, ulit!" Sumigaw-sigaw ako: "NO! NO! NO! NO!" LOL! Hahaha. I don't want to direct another class production. Ayoko! With no one working and everyone complaining about staying late but still doing nothing. Gusto ko lang i-direct na class prod: radio play. Hahaha.

Crazy thing. Right after Computer class, I accompanied CJ since he lost his library card and needed to borrow a book with scripts. He took one of the books. Opened it. Browsed. Closed it and poof. Dust spread everywhere. LOL! We looked and it was only borrowed thrice. The last time was 1982. Woah! No wonder it was dusty.

Breaking the chronological order, this is computer class: it was scary. Mrs. Demegillo was scary! Hahaha. Period. But she did commend me for making a nice newsletter. Weee!

Breaking the chronological order even more: I finally went to the doctor's last Sunday.

After going to Mass early (a first this year not counting New Year's!), we went to Shang. There was Healthway there. So we checked it out. The doctor gave me some antibiotics. And I am finally feeling better now. LOL!

Anyhow, that's it. Gotta go back to homework.

all the young

Home and 2008

I'm back home. Finally. Haha!

I came back Friday evening. Trisha came along and slept here too. We played Clue. Watched KKK. and then Licence to Marry. Weird... puro wedding movies. Today naman, doctor's appointment was cancelled. So I joined Trisha in the dentist. We stayed for deathly long hours in Tito Cesar's. And then we ate at Burger King... yumm!

I came home and slept. Woke up. Ate dinner. And I just finished watching PBB Big Night (Congrats, Ruben!) while playing Tong-its with the maids. Hahaha!

2008 is my year. I just know it.

For some reason, there's something inside me saying it's going to be BIG! Wahaha!

Anyhow, here are my New Year's resolutions.

• I will sleep earlier. GULP! I've already been violating!
• I will exercise regularly. hmmm... try!
• I will not be lazy to do my rituals. what rituals? guess!
• I will sit straight. ayoko maging kuba! let's start during Mass.
• I will take a bath faster. hmmm.
• I will go to Mass earlier. mostly because of above.
• I will save water. let's save the earth!

I hope I follow it. LOL!

ruben and rachelle

hello!

i'm using a mac right now. stupid. there aren't any options that allow me to change fonts, add smileys or whatever. as you can see, i don't even have a moodie. or maybe i just dunno how to use it. hahaha!

if you haven't noticed. there have been no online signs from me these past few days. why? i'm here in ayala. and i still am. im staying here in my cousin's house with trisha and the babies. hehehe.

it's been way cool ever since. sige. kwento na.

i came here wednesday afternoon. i was slumbering on my bed till around 11 when somebody woke me up. turns out kuys ricky is picking me up to eat out. then, im sleeping in his house. siya na rin daw ang dadala sa akin sa corinthians. until thurs lang stay ko dapat.

anyhow, he came and then we ate lunch at mcdo. hahaha. quarter pounder. yummm.... then he dropped us off at ayala na while he went off to play golf. well, we watched john tucker out of trisha's choice. but before that, there was mayhem since we didn't know how to operate the damn tv. after like 15 mins of trying to put it to av1 instead of tv, we started watching.

hmmm.... the movie was okay i guess. hahaha. kinda funny. but the ending wasnt all that nice. hahaha.

then we played with the babies! hahaha. at around 7, we got picked up to eat at dencio's. that's kuya, ate kaye, me and trisha. kasama na riyan ang mga kaibigan nila. hahaha.

so we ate dinner. and then they started to drink. so that we can try, kuya gave us some drinks. hahaha! una, ate kaye picked for us. so she got white russian. it's a mixture of gin/rhum with chocolate syru and milk if i'm not mistaken. hahaha. it came.... trisha and i had sour faces after the first sip. yuck! it tasted like robitussin. to trisha, mucosolvan. ugh.

anyhow, we had to finish it since sayang... it's 130 a glass. buti na lang the glass was small. and so was the serving. ate kaye talaga. hahaha. anyhow, kuya would get us a new drink daw later. hahaha. so i finished it after much ice, mix, ice, mix, stir, mix, ice, melt ice, stir, mix. lol!

when trisha was done...i finished earlier, kuya got us a zombie. something like cherry juice and alcohol. the hit's supposedly stronger. hahaha. anyhow, it tasted good! hahahaha. better than robitussin. haha!

anyhow, while drinking, i found myself going to the bathroom a lot to take a piss. when i started getting hot, i kept washing my face na rin. what do i mean getting hot? my face was like heating up. so was my neck. as in sobrang mainit. para bang nagka-fever. haahaha!

unluckily for trisha, she threw up. buti na lang she had "veterans." ate iya had mouth wash. ate kaye had wet ones, hand sanitizer and something else. ahahaha!

anyhow, i didn't throw up. woohoo. hahaha. i also barely turned red. lol. however, i started to feel the buzz and got real dizzy at one point. so i stopped drinking. hahaha. lol.

anyhow, we went home real late. trisha and i played rummikub. and then we slept.

next day, we had the ultimate brunch. sobrang sarap. sausage, egg, pancakes and bacon. hahaha. well, we left lunchtime. when we arrived at corinthians ad kuya didnt ask for directions at the gate so we got lost trying to find francisco street. haha!

anyhow, i got to phantom's house. we played wii. weee! and then we watched evita na. hahaha. we ate merienda to take a break. and then we watched sweeney todd since chicago wasn't working.

evita was great. it got confusing at the start though. hahaha. sweeney todd was cool! hahaha. but i didn't get to finish it since we had to leave.

anyhow, kuya picked me up to extend my stay at their house. hahaha. we went to greenills. bought stuff. kfc. went home. the car ride was fun coz we told cell phone jokes. this one's my favorite:

kapag may kinakasal, lagi akong tinutukso ni lola. "uyy. susunod na siya!"
tumigil lang siya nung may dumaan na patay sabi ko, "uyy. susunod na siya!"
pinalo ako.

and then after changing, we played monopoly. hahaha. it was me vs. trisha vs. kuya+ate. hahaha. they lost. trisha and i won when we formed a merger. lol!! merger?!?! hahaha

and then they slept na. trisha and i watched weird science then played rummikub again. hahaha! we went to sleep at around 4:30. but finally went to sleep 30 mins before 6 since trisha kept on talking. hahaha!

anyhow. woke up today at 3. hahaha. ate lunch-merienda. (lunchenda?) and i took a bath. i got scared since i had red spots all over my neck, chest and stomach... it's gone now. hahaha!

well. no more. sorry if it's kinda long. im bored eh. wala magawa since trisha is in the bathroom right now and there's nothing to watch. i miss blogging na rin. hahaha.

ps.
ang hirap mag-type sa macbook kung cover ang keyboard mo. ahaha!
alsom mahirap mag-type nang nakadapa

New Year

Weee. Hahaha. 2008 na!

I loved New Year's Eve. So we heard Mass first. They had these little girls doing liturgical dances. I didn't find their tambourines anything appealing. It was at that time that I thought of my New YEar's resolutions. Hahaha.

We then went to Ayala. Played with Alex. Went out. Ate MnMs. Mmmm... and then we watched the neighbor's fireworks. Hahaha. Para ang wala kami. LOL!

Aside from that, we were also waiting for Ai-ai to come out! Hahaha! They were already starting up their firworks, and we could hear her voice na. But we still didn't see her. It was when we took pictures when she went on the street and started sweeping. LOL!

Come quarter to 12, we started ours. When Kuya was lighting it up, Ai-ai shouted: "Hello Neighbors! Happy New Year!" LOL! Haahaha.

Well, we lit ours up. The first few were... ugh. Hahaha. But it was all good. Pero wala pa ring tatalbog doon kay Ai-ai. Hahaha! (Posted here) Ganda sobra! I didn't catch the starting part though. That was the more beautiful one. May sparkle-sparkle pa eh. Haha!

Most of the time, i was taking videos of the fireworks. Mag-request na lang if you wanna see it... but I doubt you would if you enjoyed your New Year's celebration. Hahaha! Crazy thing was I got hit by the fireworks. LOL. I was just taking a video when from the sky fell somekind of hot thing. Hahaha! Grabe! Na-shock ako! LOL!!! Next time, I want an umbrella. Haha!

Anyhow. We ate food... which was DELICIOUS! And then we watched YouTube videos. Hahaha! We finished mga 2:30 na. Hahaha.

Well, I'd do some reflecting on 007, but tinatamad ako! Hahaha. Happy 2008!

you're a part time lover and a full time friend

Restlessness, Music and Movies.

Today has been really, really restless. *sigh* I can call it boring, but it's been eventful... at least. *more sighs*

I guess I can credit the restlessness to a restless night. I slept past 3 last night. I was in bed at around 1 or 2. But I couldn't get myself to fall asleep. So I reconciled to taking a midnight snack and watching some television. I wish I hadn't missed kabagang though. That would've made it a fun night.

Add to that, I was awoken by noisy chatter in the middle of the night--or day--and added unto by my cough. And I thought it was already getting better. Well, they closed the blinds, which sorta added to the heat. I would like to add: MY ROOM IS NOT A REFUGEE CENTER!

I woke up a quarter before three. The latest so far. This sleeping habit has got me worrying so I asked Yahoo Answers about it. LOL. I'd like to say I trust the RPSGT over the arthritic man who talks about cyadic patterns. Whatever cyadic patterns are. That lightened me up.

In any case, this sleep pattern has got my body clock ruined... coincidentally, so is my computer clock. I have no idea how long I've been doing things.

In other news, I've been downloading songs today... and yesterday night. Yesterday, I took all the Little Shop of Horror songs I could take off the internet. After hours of finding it, I finally was able to download the finale complete with its start. Wahaha!

Today, I got songs that are not musical-related. Songs I normally listen to. However, I haven't listened to these songs I'm downloading. I blame hell week for cutting me off my normal life. I'm trusting Trisha with these songs she gave me. Add to those, I took a few songs of my own.

Right now, I find With You amazing. That's from Chris Brown. Then there's the remix of Wake Up Call featuring Mary J Blige. Love it! And then there's Anyone Else But You. Where'd I get that? It's the soundtrack of Juno. Hihihi!

Anyone! Anyone! DVD or whatever online site! I wanna see Juno. Hahaha. I still can't find it. And I hope what I'm downloading is right. LOL.

Right now, I have the sudden urge to go sing some karaoke. The other part of me wants to go watch a movie. I'm following the latter, so I'm choosing. Should I continue watching Transformers (which got cut when the bell rang last Science class) or if I should go watch Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo--last year's MMFF offering? Hmmm.

(A little side-note: I haven't watched a Pinoy movie in a theatre yet. They're all either on DVD or from the one's school has to offer. How embarassing! Hahaha.)

One thing's for sure. I'm going to watch it downstairs on the new flat screen tv. Weeee!

grapes are my favorite fruit

Lists, Juno and Little Shop of Horrors

Wow. I should really get my self a new list of resolutions before the new year comes in. Anyhow, (and maybe a new set of words to use other than "Wow," "Anyhow" and "Well" ) I've completed a few stuff out of my list of things to do.

• Download songs - half done
• Upload pictures
• Fix my calendar - done!
• Send stuff to Androgyny. Hahaha. The deadline is close! I really need a reply on that email before I send it. opinions. opinions. hahaha!

Well, (there's the word again!) I've recently been addicted to two stuff this week: Juno and Little Shop of Horrors.

After taking a look at the list of nominees for the Golden Globes, I got curious as to what Juno was. Hahaha. Wikipedia solves all questions! And I now seriously want to watch it. I'm still trying to find some online site that has it. Hahaha! Sadly, no one's posted it yet. Hahaha! BTW... it stars Ellen Page (Shadowcat from X-men 3), Michael Cera (Superbad), Jennifer Garner, Allison Janney (Hairspray), JK Simmons and that other guy. (sorry.. forgot the name... but i think it's bateman.)

Well, (ulit!) I watched Little Shop of Horrors on YouTube. The whole thing by a high school group who posted their whole show. I didn't really like how they did it. But I like the musical na. Hahaha! Prior to that certain FX meeting, I've never heard of it in my entire life. Hahahaha. I love the finale's start (how ironic), Skid Row and Suddenly Seymour. LOL. Anyhow, I searched for mroe videos... and this has to be my favorite: http://youtube.com/watch?v=opQplXk-s18 ang galing nila.... compared to the oneS I've watched at least. Hahahaha!

Now, I must log-off! Wahooooeeeee.

Joyeux Noël

Merry Christmas, all! Woohoo!

Christmas Eve

So this is an account of how it all went. LOL.

Grabe... I'm such a crammer, even before leaving, I was still finishing them Christmas cards. Anyhow, I was sending some eCards to those abroad when we had to leave, so I had to rush one card. Haha.

Anyhow, we left for Padre Pio for the midnight mass. And then, we went to Ayala na. When there, I ran up to Kuya's house na para matapos ko na ang pagsulat sa mga card. But... I wasn't able to. Napaaga ang gift giving. So we went down. Distributed the gifts.

Grabe si Robin... surrounded by gifts. LOL! Hahaha. Si Alex naman, ayaw lisanin ang kanyang bagong mini-golf cart. Hahaha. Cute nilang dalawa. So we had the pic-taking. And then I opened one gift because of my parents' insistence. Haha!

I just wanna say... it wasn't what I was expecting. And my first impression isn't really that good. Why? I wanted something small. And what I got was way bigger than my original one. So I'm like.... what... how do I use this? But then again... it's really, really cool. So yeah.. I like it na. Sadly, I still can't use it all the time. I still imaging finding myself looking like a fool in Shang or EK or somewhere lugging this around:

Anyhow... So yeah... I got that. Cool noh. Hahaha. But I still can't stop myself from thinking that it's so not handy since I have to wear it on my neck rather than being able to slip it inside my pocket. Hay....

Well. I rushed back up to finally finish the cards. Hihihihi. And then I went back down to give them. And then I played Monopoly with Ate Kaye and Trisha.

But the game was interrupted by wine. And eventually, we spoke with everyone in the States. Tita Issa and Tito Dick called. And we chatted with Ate Carla on YM. Hahaha.

Well. We finished up past 3. And we went home. Hahaha. I opened my gifts... daming cool shirts!! Hahaha. Anyhow... I got a hoodie na.. the one I chose from Shang. Hahaha.

I finally went to sleep at around 4 and woe up at 12. Haha. Phew. Daming ginawa ah! LOL.

I wanna upload pictures but I'm too tamad... and I still have to install whatever stuff for the cam. Hay. Anyhow... back to life. May party pa mamaya for Mama Jenny's 80th. Hahaha.
