Archive: March 2005 March 31, 2005 @ 1:07 am SORRY BUT I AM GOING TO RANT ABOUT SCHOOLWORK Something happened on my Wednesday. Wow. I never thought I'd be brave enough to stay alone inside the editing room. Joyce left at about 6:30 and I immediately went down to Kuya William's office to ask him if he could move my computer (the one, amongst all the PCs, that's being used for the workshop). And so I sat down, enjoyed the chill, and opened my file. I told Bebs it'd only take me an hour. But it took me two hours and thirty minutes. Doing what? Trying to figure out why every time I check my file there seems to be something wrong. Why I can't put in decent transitions. Why it's so damn hard to make sense out of the whole documentary. Why I feel like something huge is missing. Well, something huge is actually missing. Sir J told me to add more shots. But my laziness got the better of me. And so I was trying to make sense of what I have, which isn't much considering I went out to shoot for only a day. Well, the result is a big X for a documentary. Why should I try to fool myself? All I really want is to pass. And that I'm not even sure of. And speaking of grades, I doubt my class cards are gonna be flashy this year. Nor for my final year. I think I finally reached the point where one says "I don't care." Because, really, if I do, I'd be dead. Still, more work comes my way. Four papers for 183. An essay for 141. An exam in 120. A CWTS to complete. But do I care? Hell no. In a week, I'm sure everything will be done, no matter what. Til then, I just have to force myself to smile. That ain't too hard. On the bright side, school might be over in a year (if I'm really lucky), and I'll finally get my rest. Or that call center job I've wanted since December. I just remembered. When I was in HS, my motto once went like, "If you know that your heart is in the right place, then everything will be okay." I think I need a surgery. * * * Well, what do you know? I open my LAUNCHcast and it starts playing a LeAnn Rimes song. At least someone knows what I like. While I'm at it, I think Jessica Sierra might hit the bottom three tomorrow. Sadly. Along with Scott Savol and Anthony Fedorov. If not Jessica, then Anwar, so he can finally end his butchering of really good songs. Nadia Turner keeps on impressing me. Vonzell (screw the right spelling) Solomon is equally brilliant. A Stacie Orrico song is playing now. Two hits in a row. March 29, 2005 @ 11:48 am PLAYING WITH BEBS' WEBCAM Now you see what my ultra thick wavy hair looks like in the morning. And how bored I really am.
Now get a load of this.
If you're not a cinemaster, was unfortunate enough to miss POV, and are wondering why the fucking hell I'm wearing silver paint all over my body... well then, let me tell you a sad little story...
(...) Well, it was worth a try. (Hooray for nonsensical and badly written prose. Notice the Alex Mack allusion.) In reality, this pic was taken by whomever while we were shooting the AVP for the Student Congress, and it somehow landed on the net, in this gallery. It was actually Kizay who discovered it. Hmm... my first paparazzi shot! Rock solid! * * * Last night Reen introduced me to Sony Vegas 5.0. And yes, after much diffidence, we got acquainted and I learned that she was, after all, very [user] friendly. March 28, 2005 @ 6:15 am NOTHING Nothing, really. Just stole this from my cousin's LJ. How ethical of me. To those who don't know her (i.e. those who ignored the three Harry Potter films, have never read the films' credits, have never been to a fansite, or have never come across her name and/or her face, and are simply oblivious of her existence), her lovely name is Emma Watson. She's only 14 (turning 15 this April, I think). And she's my crush. Bow.
Wow. * * * Why am I still awake? @ 4:15 am oo, madaling araw na Oo nga. Tama yang oras na nilagay ko. At tinatamad na kong matulog. Hulaan mo kung nasaan ako?
Sirit na? Ako'y narito sa tahanan (actually, apartment) ni Bebs! San pa ba? At ayan siya, tinulugan na ko! Pagkatapos akong takutin! Ansama, pinagtatawanan pa ko. Ayan, gising pa pala siya at natatawa pa rin. Naman kasi, gawin ba namang panakot yung ano... basta. Ayan, medyo kinikilabutan pa rin ako. Di tuloy ako makababa at makaihi! Eto, nakikinig na lang ako ng version ni Barbra Streisand ng All I Ask of You. At naiihi na talaga ako. Bahala na. Gigisingin ko na lang si Bebs kapag hindi ko na talaga mapigil... * * * Kanina nakasakay ako sa chaka bus at pinatugtog (sa napakalakas at napakalinaw na stereo) ang Sometimes When We Touch. Ewan ko kung bakit pero ngayon ko lang na-process yung ganda nung lyrics. O ako lang yun. Basta. Basahin mo na lang. Dahan-dahan ha, line per line. Baka ma-gets mo yung sinasabi ko. O ayan...
* * * Ayun. Hindi ko alam kung matutulog pa ko. Pero kailangan kasi pupunta pa kong UP mamaya para mag-edit ng docu. Tulog na talaga si Bebs. At medyo hindi na ko naiihi. March 26, 2005 @ 7:23 pm I terribly missed blogging. I terribly miss YOU. Yes, you. * * * Ikaw, kumusta naman ang Holy Week mo? Nababagot ka na rin ba? Gusto mo na rin bang lumabas?
Tayo na't
mag-swimming... * * * Grabe ang ganda ng Lost! Sana ay napapanood mo rin. 9 PM sa AXN, every Thursday. May replay naman every Sunday, 10 PM. Wag kakalimutan ang primetime telecast ng Survivor: Palau on Sunday at suportahan ang Ulong tribe! Nagpaalam na si Mikalah Gordon sa American Idol. Nakakalungkot pero wala naman akong magagawa. Itutuloy ko na lang ang suporta kay Carrie Underwood, Jessica Sierra, Nadia Turner, at Bo Bice. * * * When you are all that haunts my dreams, do you ever stay awake to think of me? March 20, 2005 @ 6:35 pm WHAT'S IN A FACE? I was bloghopping yesterday and I saw this on Doinee's LJ. It's fun to try especially when you're as bored as I am, and when you've got many pictures of yourself stashed in your hard drive (I failed on that one, tho). Anyway, without further ado, here's what the Face Analyzer had to say about my, er, race:
And, my personality
I'm thinking it loves average too much. For what it's worth, I spent a considerable amount of time just trying to get a result. I kept on getting a blank sheet and two green crosses over my eyes (meaning, it can't see, and therefore analyze, them). I tried my baby pic and got something, but that was my baby pic. Finally, I tried out my bland, boring, and equally droopy-eyed 2x2 ID pic (the one I'm hoping I won't have to paste on my resumé) and voala, got these results. As for my archetype, I'm the White Collar type according to the maestro analyzer. Come again? You particularly enjoy the traditional way of life. Having drinks with your friends, attending parties and relaxing while watching TV are some of the simple pleasures you indulge in. You may also enjoy physical exercise. Your driving force is to retire as early as possible, so that you can do the things you enjoy more often. Your main source of ambition comes from this desire.
True, so
far.
Sorry, no
job yet. Wait, is being a bum a job? I do care for responsibility but I would rather be carefree. My actual case is worse. My occupation examples? Secretary, Police Officer, Telemarketer, Computer Programmer, Office worker. Not too bad considering I'm a bum. * * * My phone's already working! Fifteen minutes with a screwdriver was all it took. * * * I'm actually watching the first episode of One Tree Hill's new season. Thanks, Zyra, for telling me. Later, I'm going to watch the replays of Survivor: Palau and Lost. That is, if I don't fall asleep. March 19, 2005 @ 6:05 pm LOVE Another accidental dose of A Walk to Remember due to my afternoon TV viewing and I was suddenly reminded of my favorite Biblical passage (yes, you heard me right).
Pure and unconditional love... wish I could learn to love like that. Ahem. Here's my love list, which sprung out of my boredom...
I think a hate list is on its way. * * * My phone is again in a coma. So to those who have been trying to contact me, I apologize sincerely. If you're desperate for someone to talk to as I am, then you are more than welcome to call me at home. Ayt? * * * HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHEA! I love you! March 18, 2005 @ 6:30 pm LOST I know life is unpredictable, but why does it have to be this shocking? I cannot believe __________ (for the sake of those who weren't able to watch the show today) got voted off Survivor: Palau. Of course, I would have understood what happened if I had turned on the TV 45 minutes earlier. Still, it's unbelievable... * * * Lost's premier episode aired last Thursday night and I missed it thanks to Sky Cable's ill-timed reception problem. Why, oh, why during that hour? * * * My mind is spinning and I don't know what to do. There are tons of things going on inside my head that it even hurts to think. That's why I've been cooped up here at home for the past two days. I need some time away from everything. I know I can't escape my problems but I'm hungry for some air. School is suffocating. Home is suffocating. Life is suffocating. There's pressure everywhere, even from myself. I feel like I got myself in a situation that I can't get out of. I have to be strong or else I'll break down. I am lost. I need to find myself again. 'Till the beginning of better days... * * * Things I've learned these past few weeks:
More to come... March 16, 2005 @ 2:31 am ANG PAG-EBEG NGA NAMAN Ponyetas. Nabura yung una kong tinype. Eniwei... eto na lang basahin mo, for more drama. Hala, sige, magbasa at baka maka-relate ka!
* * * May goh-lay! Ang pag-ebeg nga naman! So very madrama! * * * Di ako makatulog. Wide awake ang mapupungay kong mga mata. Eh antapang ba naman ng kapeng tinimpla ko kanina sa post facility habang nag-e-extra challenge sa pag-edit ng docu. Lord, help us! Sana po ay matapos namin ang mga docu namin by tomorrow. * * * Ansarap talaga ng cauliflower na sinasawsaw sa toyo. Try mo! * * * Atin pong bisitahin ang blog ni Tonette at magulantang sa nakatutuwa niyang layout. And while you're at it, bisitahin niyo na rin ang ibang blogs na naka-link sa itaas. Kung hindi pa mapawi boredom niyo niyan, ewan ko na. * * * I doubt he'll be able to read this but I'll greet him anyway... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISHA! March 6, 2005 @ 6:21 pm SING, PEOPLE, SING I ended up not going to the party. Didn't want to go there alone. I'm really sorry, Mace. Week recap: Thursday: helped Deanne in her F135 shoot, went to La Salle to support Ayn, Bebs, and Tonette. Traveled (via "jeepies") home with Leo and got home with really messed up (more messed up than usual) hair. Friday: tutored again (finally, after a long time), and invaded Star Mall's videoke booth with the indomitable forces of Leo, Reen, Tonette, and Vince. Saturday: watched A Series of Unfortunate Events with Leo, Tez, Dohna, and Claudane. Went down to Megamall's food court only to order from Jollibee. Tested (and hated the price of) Glico's videoke. Today: Took a "field trip" to Sta. Ana with Leo and Tonette, and discovered the fascinating sport of rowing. Took another "field trip" to San Juan and met our (me and Eric) F161 subjects for the first time. Had yet another satisfying round of videoke back in Star Mall. Now here's a game: guess the common denominator from Friday to Sunday. Hard, isn't it? I'm drained and half-starved. But I have to wage another battle with sleep coz I want to catch the replay of Survivor: Palau. I can do this... I can do this... * * * Let's all greet my mom (my eternal guardian) and Yoshke (formerly known as UP Film Cen... I mean, also known as ES) a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! March 2, 2005 @ 2:22 pm OF MALE MODELS, LAVISH PARTIES, AND NEAT SURVEYS I quote Doinee: "The hunt is over." Manhunt's season finale was aired on Star World last night. Thanks (or no thanks) to the internet, I knew who the winner is even before it began to air. And so it was entertaining to watch the finale and see how the producers attempted to pull up the suspense. Again, the, quote, suspense, unquote. The er, twist, was relatively shocking and new (to me, at least), and I don't know if I should be amazed or annoyed. And yes, Doinee, I'm happy to know that people with "jacked up" teeth can become models. Hooray for Jon, the winner! * * * Check this out:
I'm in no way affiliated with UP ECOSOC but I do find this event interesting. If you have your eyes (or feet) set on this event, just contact JOEY (09178105976) or LAGS (09184441261) or visit the ECOSOC TAMBAYAN at Room 121, School of Economics. So there... whatchathink? * * * And finally, for more borrowing from Doinee's entry, here's a survey that graciously saved me from boredom:
