title: something to believe in.
i had a really great time today. although i do feel extremely tired. pag kasama mo ba naman yung lima mong mas nakababatang kapatid buong araw, hindi ka ba mapapagod? haha. ang ingay ingay kanina, nakakarindi. but all was worth it. ang saya talaga pag kasama ang pamilya. *sniff*. hehe. now, it's super quiet here. jim kept saying, "ang saya kanina, noh?":(
they left an hour ago pa. this morning we attended mass at the ust chapel, then we watched the pacquiao-diaz fight on TV (mabuhay ang Pilipinas! mabuhay si pacquiao na "tinitingalaan" daw ni kevin garnett. haha.). naka-chat din namin si mama sa ym. sosyal noh? naka-webcam kami pero si mama hindi. ayun, nahalatang hindi kami camera shy kasi we would always make funny faces. one time, papa and jim were macho dancing for mama. hahaha. we all had fun. we picked up maan at 3pm then went straight to MOA. we did a little shopping tapos umuwi na agad.
i super duper love my new bag. i bought it at celine. it's the best bag i've ever bought (no offense to my other bags. :D). it's also probably the most expensive. pero it's a great investment naman. not an expense. haha. tapos maan treated me to a cup of Dippin' Dots. i had the blueberry cheesecake flavor while she had the java coffee. sarrrrap! ice cream siya na binilog na parang kulangot. hahaha. basta, ganun kaliit sa bala ng pellet gun. or probably smaller. P80 yung regular cup which is really small. pag first timer ka, tulad ko, magugulat ka talaga sa price. pero ang tsalap tsalap talaga eh! tsaka nilibre ako kaya mas sumarap. haha. try niyo! recommended talaga.
ayun. natapos na rin ako sa pag-ayos ng written report namin sa eco. we have a group report tomorrow. i haven't reviewed my part yet. sobrang pagod na ako. after this, i'll sleep already tapos tomorrow ng 3 or 4am na lang ako magpapractice ng mga sasabihin ko. mababaliw na ako! haha. before that happens, matutulog muna ako. bukas na lang yung paghahasik ko ng kabaliwan. good night!
P.S. khrystian didn't get mad about me posting his video on youtube. natuwa pa nga eh. haha.

hey, ho!
i just arrived from tri noma. spent some 'alone' time with myself. again. i bought havs for khrystian. my gift for his birthday this sunday. nah, i spent his own money. i kept his $30 and thought he'd forget that i have it. but he remembered. sucks for me. haha. anyway, he's turning 13 on June 29. he's getting older.... and BIGGER! he was never thin. actually, he was never a normal sized boy. haha. but he's our chubby wubby cutie pig, uh i mean, pie. i could definitely say that i am closer to him compared to my other siblings because he laughs a lot and he makes people laugh a lot too. it's his special gift. he's very approachable and his personality charms everyone who meets him. pag nakilala mo siya, for the first time, matutuwa ka agad sa kanya. lalo na pag sinasabi niyang gutom na siya. haha. also, he's the weirdest of all my brothers. one time, when we were at the back of papa's pick-up, jim, me and tian were talking about the number of kids we want to have. all of us answered four or five. then tian said he wants his eldest to be a boy. but when his kid starts to grow older, he wants him to be gay. i was like, what the f*ck are you talking about? we asked him why. hindi daw niya alam basta parang ang saya daw magkaron ng anak na bakla. if he's completely serious, he'd be the first father i know who forces his son to like men. hahaha.
anyway, before i say anything more, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, khrystian! i hope you continue to make everyone around you smile. God bless you!
i know i should be saving you from total embarrassment but this video is freakin' hilarious! i want the world to know that you are a true blessing to the entertainment industry. and casting directors are dumb enough not to sign you in any comedy film or show. damn them.

title: behind the scars.
it was several months ago. i was blog-hopping and i came to read this wonderful, really touching story:
once upon a time, there was this big piece of rock living peacefully on a mountaintop. one day, he gets transported somewhere far, far away. all of a sudden, he receives multiple blows around his body. he gets hurt once, twice, more times. he’s hurt bad. he doesn’t know why he’s being beaten, but it goes on and on. one day, it suddenly all stops. everything becomes peaceful just like it was before. after some time, he notices that people start to look at him, they stop and stare, and he’s wondering why. one day, there were two workers walking by, and they were carrying a big mirror. the rock saw his reflection, and saw, he was now a beautiful statue.
since then, i couldn't help but remember it every time i feel super upset. nung bata pa ako, mahilig akong maglaro sa labas at tumakbo. sa sobrang likot ko, hindi na bago sa akin yung madapa, magalusan. but whenever i do, i always cry. kasi masakit at mahapdi. also, i was afraid of the isopropyl alcohol that mama used to clean the wound. she used to say, "pag hindi natin yan nilagyan ng alcohol, hindi gagaling yan." i'd shut my eyes tight until she finished patting the wet cotton on my skin. i'd cry even more because it stung. then mama would blow my wound to lessen the pain. until now, marami pa rin akong peklat sa legs. dati, i used to be insecure about it. but now, kumapal na ng konti, kahit papaano, yung mukha ko at nagsho-shorts na ako minsan pag naglalakwatsa.
i came to realize that scars are nothing to be ashamed of because they define who we are and what we've been through. it serves as a visible and permanent proof of how we were able to endure and survive pain. gaya nung mga sugat ko sa tuhod. tanda yun ng pagkakaroon ko ng napakasayang childhood. i don't need to find old pictures to help myself remember how i was as a kid. tingin na lang sa tuhod, sabay sabi ng "aaah. eto yung consequence ng katangahan ko dati." haha.
be proud! scarred people are beautiful. it's also like when we face difficult, complicated problems. we get beat up with stress. we cry a river. we almost want to pull our hair off because we could no longer take the pressure. but, like the stone, we have to be patient because in time, we'd be stronger, more beautiful and more prepared for future blows from that thing we call 'life'. also, people would learn to admire us because of it.
on my part naman, naghahanap ako ng karamay. haha. pag hindi ako nag-aral para sa isang quiz, maghahanap ako ng hindi rin nag-aral. ang kapupulutan na aral doon ay MAY KASAMA KA, KAIBIGAN. (sharon cuneta?) haha. seriously though, you are not alone. yun na lang isipin natin. kasi kung feeling mo na wala ng pag-asa, andyan pa si GOD. and sigurado ako na may ISANG TAO na patuloy na magmamalasakit sa'yo at hindi ka huhusgahan.
naku, tama na nga! is this for real?? haha. i hope we all learned a valuable lesson from the STONE.
GOD BLESS!

grabe! no doubt, he absolutely, positively knows. or worse, maybe he thinks i'm obsessed with him! which is so not true!
oh my effin' crap! hindi talaga ako marunong magtago! napakaobvious! eeeeeh! nahihiya na talaga ako! i have to stop. really, i should. if this continues, he might file a case against me for stalking. haha. wait, no 'hahas'. this is serious.
Oh, God. where are you in times of sheer desperation? please help me!!!!

title: finishing touches.
why is it so hard to polish our own nails?? i've been trying to paint mine on my right hand and, unfortunately, after redoing everything for the fourth time, i managed to paint only two fingernails. i'm right-handed so it's easier to put color on the ones on my left hand. how do you do it without getting cotton to stick on the wet nail?? i took a break because i'm starting to feel frustrated. in the first place, the reason why i started to give myself a manicure was to remove the tension and stress i've been feeling throughout the month. right now, it's not helping.
hmmmm... EUREKA! i finally figured out the easiest way to paint your nails! take a picture of your hand and upload it on your computer. then open the photo on 'Paint'. choose the color you desire and 'brush' your nails. and... VOILA!
hindi naman halata, di ba? hehe.
if only life is as easy as that. *sigh* :(

classes resume tomorrow. awwww. bummer! it's not very often that i get to spend three days off from school. i thought that when i begin my major, i'd only spend 4 or 5 days in ust. unfortunately, my sked is still the same as last year.
but, what the hell? i've been complaining for the last two years and nothing good came out of it. from now on, i'm going to start to be grateful. i'm very grateful about the freakin' exhausting days in ust and i hope they continue until i graduate. and i'm also thankful for dan layus, augustana's frontman/songwriter, for taking my breath away. (still love 'boston' and 'angels', by the way).
i worry about this semester because i'm still adjusting to a few changes, like a new block, new classmates, new eating place (concepcion st. before, asturias st. now), new place to live in, the internet connection and the cable TV in our room! on the top of the list is the TV! it's too overwhelming. i'm afraid that i might be too engrossed on watching ETC. haha. the other day, however, when reina, frenie and i went to sm san lazaro, they were amazed at how much i know about the current news. haha. it started when i asked them if they have seen david beckham's new underwear ad. they haven't and reina said, "wow!" and i started clapping my hands because i was super happy that i'm no longer the last person to know what's happening to the world. haha.
but i really, really promise not to let the TV and the computer get in the way of my studies. i super want to be in the dean's list this year. it's probably a tough goal but i'm really hoping i'd make it.

i've been looking for a new blog skin since forever! kanina pa akong umaga dito sa upuan na toh. i can't find something that fits my mood right now, which is tired. ewan ko na lang kung makahanap ako ng skin na 'tired'. tired skin? pssshhh.
anyway, i downloaded some new songs yesterday and there's one song which i particularly like--"i kissed a girl" by katy perry. it goes this way, "i kissed a girl and i liked it.. the taste of her cherry chapstick.. i kissed a girl and i liked it... i hope my boyfriend don't mind it.." haha. it reminded me of reina and frenie. uhm, not because they kissed. (well, not that i'm aware of everything they do and not do. :D) but we have this joke about having lesbian love for one another. haha. kasi we would like hold hands when we walk, give hugs and sometimes say "i love you, (name here)" in a very maarte way. haha. awww. i miss them. and anna, too. and joed and steph. and i miss my other girlfriends---jane, marielle, shari, janina, grecia, aimi and manilyn.
back to the song, it's really catchy! i mean, i heard it just yesterday on the radio and now, i can't get it off my head. other recommended downloads are:
you do- until june mercy- duffy filipina girl- marcus davis stupid for you- marie digby everyone nose- n.e.r.d. say it again- marie digby
there won't be electricity in the building starting from 8pm for TWO hours because they have to "change it from industrial to residential"?? i don't know what that means but i'm making sure that my phone is fully charged. and the laptop too so i could continue watching 'gossip girl'.

title: i won't go home without you.
Blahs from the first week of school.
i realized how much i miss my D-am block mates. it's never the same without them. i'm not saying that my new class is a complete bore or whatever. it just isn't D-am!
anyway, highlights of the day were reuniting with reina, frenie (my EX-classmates, btw) and stephanie, bumping into nikon (jim's former team mate and future UAAP basketball star) and playing Guitar Hero for the first time (which, i discovered, i am soo not good at).
nga pala, jim and i are living together na. (Note: he's my brother). i am no longer a Dapitan girl but am now a P. Noval babe. hahaha! it sucks for him coz he's with me. i am a self-confessed household chore hater. it's a good thing for me coz he's the one who's sooo sipag when it comes to cleaning. we're the YIN and YANG. haha. perfect combination.
so, that's about it! no great news today. oh, there's one pala! hopefully, free tickets from Nikon if he starts to play for the UST Tigers this season. wuhooo!
