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!

***

Why do I feel like I was born to love you and yet also feel like it was never meant to be?

Bakit may mga taong manhid? Bakit hindi nila kayang maramdaman na mahal mo sila?

You are the only person that made me feel this way. I look into your eyes and feel that I have found the one; I find it hard to imagine myself with someone else. You have all the qualities that I could ever want, and all the qualities I never thought I'd want... until now.

Ano ba ang dapat gawin para mapansin ng taong mahal mo? Kulang pa ba na ibuhos mo halos lahat ng oras mo para sa kanila? Kulang pa ba na mag-sakripisyo ka ng maraming bagay para lamang makasama sila? Kulang pa ba na sa bawat pagkakataong kailangan ka nila ay naruon ka?

I wish I could blame you for the pain you are causing me. But none of this is your fault.

Sometimes you look at me and for a moment, I see a spark in your eyes. But instantly you turn away and become cold again.

Magseselos sila kapag may kasama kang iba. Kung alam lang nila na sila ang pinapangarap mong makasama araw-araw. Kung alam lang nila na kapag nag-iisa ka, sila ang pumupuno sa isipan mo, na hindi ka makatulog sa gabi kaiisip sa kanila, na sila agad ang hinahanap mo pag-gising mo sa umaga.

But your gaze belongs to someone else. If only you could see me the way I see you...

Ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay ang makita araw-araw na may iniibig silang iba. Na anupaman ang gawin mo, idikit mo man ang sarili mo sa kanila, iba pa rin ang mapapansin nila.

I wish I could wish my feelings away. It's hard to live each day wanting to be with you and knowing at the same time that we could never be together. Knowing that there's no other one is like saying I'm destined to be alone.

Sa huli, sino nga ba ang mas tanga? Sila na manhid sa pagmamahal mo, o ikaw na nagpapakahirap na mapansin nila?

I wish I could tell you how I feel. But love, strange as it is, is easier done than said.

In dreams, I see us together. But in reality, I am only a shadow that you step on.

        Isang yakap lang mula sa 'yo at mapapawi na lahat ng paghihirap ko.
        At sana ibulong mo rin na mahal mo na ako.

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.

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!!!

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!

And finally, for more borrowing from Doinee's entry, here's a survey that graciously saved me from boredom:

What's your current relationship status?
Single. And happy. Happy single. Blah.

What physical activities do you do to stay in shape?
My body doesn't have what physically fit people call "shape." It's straight and, er, straight.

What's your best physical feature?
My eyes are unique. I go for my eyes.

What quality do you have that would make you a successful *insert dream job here*?
You mean becoming a rocket scientist? Joking. It's the way I deal with people and problems. If you know how to understand both, you'll easily get through them.

Do you have a secret skill or hidden talent?
I don't know if it's a skill or a talent, and if it's good or bad, but I unconsciously adopt other people's mannerisms. Sometimes it freaks me out.

What were your best and worst subjects in school?
I'm proud to say that I excelled in both English and Filipino, and that I definitely suck in Chemistry. Sadly, Math has always been a so-so.

What are some of your favorite movies, books and CDs?
For movies and books, refer to the left frame of my blog. For CDs, NSync's No Strings Attached and Lifehouse's No Name Face.

Did you have a childhood pet?
Snoopy the dog, and fish that I forgot the names of. I also had an albino rat as a gift, which died due to lack of proper care and guidance. I was and always will be afraid of (and/or disgusted with) rats.

What's the one product or item you can't live without?
Water, of course.

When you want to indulge yourself, what's your favorite guilty pleasure?
Coffee.

What's your favorite curse word?
Words, actually—fuck, shit, and damn it.

OSCAR FEVER

I've seen too much of the red carpet. Let me know who will bring home the naked golden men.

Whatever the ballots say, I gamble my heart for these contenders:

Best Picture - Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood 
Best Direction - Martin Scorsese, The Aviator
Best Actor - Jamie Foxx, Ray
Best Actress - Hilary Swank, Million Dollar Baby

Million Dollar Baby because The Aviator is too Hollywood.

Martin Scorsese because I'm sure he lost a lot of hair and brain cells putting together the pieces to create The Aviator.

Jamie Foxx because playing blind is much more harder than playing crazy, I surmise.

And finally, Hilary Swank because everyone seems to want her to win.

So there. What are the odds? I don't know. Let's just wait and find out.
