i have watch 88 movies on this list and these are not even most of my favorites! almost all unchecked movies are very familiar to me and many of them i have watched parts of it.

i guess, this makes me a certified movie junkie!

21 and blissful

Last February 18, a schmuck turned 21. I woke up that morning thinking I AM 21! 21 years have gone by and still, I live in this crazy damn world which surprisingly, taught me how life rolls and how to roll in it in return!

.

I was expecting that many people will greet me through text..hehe! and honestly, I was kinda disappointed that the number didn't turn out quite as expected. There are some expected people to greet and there are quite a few which surprised me and made me wonder how come they knew..hehe! Ms. Timay called me twice but I haven't answered it. She called me again that afternoon. She sang the whole Happy Birthday Song! My gosh! I didn't see that coming! hahaha! Love ya Mother Queen!

.

I was excited to have dinner with the Royalty Girls that night! It has been quite a while that we haven't been together. Last time we talked we were all just a bunch of problematics! This time, we had time for chikas and more chikas!

.

We ate at Afrique's. I was kinda sad I haven't seen Danny Gokey's performance on American Idol that night..hehe! But nevertheless, I enjoyed the night through the company of best friends, endless girl talks and the flavors of Afrique's Special Pizza, Carbonara and Spicy Sausage Ragu and coffee at Coffee Break.

.

• At the end of the meal, as a Royalty Girl tradition, they gave me their personalized gift. This year it was a Box Of Love. (I was telling them that I am materialistic this year! haha! Phone patches or special appearances will only trigger a hell of a PTSD!) This box was filled with 21 cards and letters from close friends. They even included letters from the "people always leave club"..haha! I am a self-confessed letter/card/message junkie! I love these things! These are the things that show hearts and souls and realness more than anything. I would rather have a letter than receive some material thing that I don't even need or worse, something not personally hand picked by the giver..(hehe! this can happen, but not that it had or not that i know of..hehe).

_

• This box of love made me realize that I MATTER. At times, I feel inferior and in my worse times, I feel invicible. In my worst? I am alone, lonely and forlorn. It is not the best feeling in the world, trust me. But simple things like this made me realize that I am not a shadow in this world. Rather, I can be a light casting on beautiful people to also cast shadows of light to others. Or maybe, I can be that shadow of light. These 21 people make me feel that not only I am in, but most importantly, I belong.

.

• Let me say my sincere thanks to these people, in no particular order:

.

1. Mama -- thanks a bunch for a bunch
2. Papa -- thanks in additional to giving me money for the dinner before I ask for it..(hahaha!)
3. Shobe -- thanks also for the message and for just being there even if were not the closest of bonds
4. Shoti -- my gulay! how'd you know I wanted a boyfriend for my birthday?! haha! thanks for pulling off a double face by being a cheer and a pain all at the same time!
5. Dhanzel -- didn't saw yours coming! laugh and roll, baby!
6. Jessica --we've been friends since first year and you never fail to greet me on my birthday! I really, really appreciate your letter! Congrats for passing the boards! I cannot forget that you even called me up when I passed mine. I was thinking of doing the same but I was stuck in the internet trying to find your names..hehe..thanks again for the letter. You even did a few artwork there. thank you mucho! and I'm very happy for you! congrats!
7. Jenny -- we've also been friends since first year..hehe..I enjoyed your letter! It made me smile..haha! especially the blank (----) part! hehehe! Good Luck in Med school!
8. Kwini --your letter made me feel really good about myself. thank you for remembering my good moments (helping out during the boards, especially the Nursing Olympiad and even my online shop..hehe). I was really touched. good luck in Med school!
9. Beachbum -- my gosh! you were wishing me to have a boyfriend since a year ago during our retreat! haha! and I still haven't forgot that you sent me this message: "Kai, wen gani bday ni Hazel?" hahaha! its, OK...i enjoyed reading your letter!
10. Isa -- thank you! I appreciate your effort in writing me one. I know you still have your review time but you have managed to squeeze in a little time for me. The stickers spelling out my name sealing the letter are cute! hehe! sometimes, i also missed those times that we have activities here at my house..hehe! we all enjoyed it!
11. Nang Ping Ping -- thanks for the letter nang! I really enjoyed our chika moments during our IVT completion! i was also touched by your message. haha! Im glad "nasadyahan kamo"..haha! thanks also for going out of your way to give it to kai at her house..hehe! I appreciate it!
12. Yanyan -- hey TV and movie buddy! hehe..I'm touched that you bought a stationary pad just for me..haha! for that, i'm gonna download more movies for us! haha! thanks yan! im glad One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Twilight, loads of movies and books brought us closer..hehe! till the next download!
13. Nong Don -- need i say more?! haha! in case, you haven't cullenized me yet, i have got to say a few etchos aside words. (i'll try to keep it short..i'll really try..) thanks for the endless random smiles you've generated. It is not the easiest thing in the world to keep those smiles to myself, yah know! i really really enjoyed our late night lengthy talks and laughs when you were still here. haha! and even if you are already there, it's still late night for you but afternoon for me..haha..(daw la gakonek..cge lng..) even if our livers bleed to death for laughing in the middle of the night, sige man gyapon! i guess, silly is an understatement for us. we are higher than the superlative for silly! haha! my gosh! we have made a whole new different world to escape if we're depressed in just '2' months! you have been my partner in crime and in playing with words! haha! thanks for giving my blog half (or more) of its 300+ hits..but more importantly, thanks for listening to my ramblings and for doing me favors although you don't have to or it may be out of your way and was not pushed through..I just wish you're here to see the happy faces of the nov takers..hehe! It would be more fun for Team Betamax. haha! thanks for being obsessed with DH! Here's to more DH, orange chicken and let's sing "Happy Together"!haha! Muchos gracias mi amigo! (sorry, laba gd sya ya..immune ka naman ah!) and you do realize I placed you in the number '1'3', right?!
14. Ms Timay -- thank you for being there and being our Mother Queen. We didn't see your "membership" coming but it was surely worthwhile and worth cherishing. Thanks a lot for inspiring us to rise above ourselves and be the best we can. Thanks also for putting up with our crap..hehe..I will always enjoy chika moments with you! and thanks for singing the whole birthday song on the phone! I enjoyed listening to it.
15. Jennifer -- wow. hehe! well, i was not surpised you have a letter for me since i saw your message in the royalty girls' friendster account..hehe! but i didn't read it for surprise's sake. I'm missing you Jen. (gosh! i feel like crying! haha!) we have so much in common! to start, we're both drama queens! hehe.. i really missed our long talks the most. we can talk all day! How i wish you have visited me here when you went home from Canada. I was really glad you sent me a letter. It still brings the same feeling when we sent constant emails to each other. Thank you for making me feel like I'm the best person in the world with your every line. And although I'm not still comfortable being called super intelligent or I am this girl with extraordinary brains, thank you still for believing that I got them. hehe! Love you always, Jen! Miss you much!
16. Micay -- my cousin and fellow Ra-Ra girl! haha! yeah, I do hope we can work together in the States so that we can do all crazy stuff that we have always imagined, like, watching the 4 sisters ride a roller coaster! haha! that would be so much fun! Konek gid ang I Hope You Dance nga song on your letter. I also posted this on my previous entry. Thanks for the message. Indeed, being 21 is scary but i'm looking forward to the best things that can happen! And oh! Tomorrow will be the Oscars..hehe! I do hope we can watch some of it together in the future! hahaha!
17. Bibi -- I surely miss those old times when we were going at each other's houses! haha.. and yeah, hulam notebook and tutor pa gd! haha! remember "DG" aka codename for cheat? haha! not to mention the Turon, Chicharon and Hotdog! haha! Those were the good times! I sometimes miss being childhood bestfriends again..hehe! At least were still friends now! and i will still be here for you! congrats for passing the boards!
18. , 19, 20, 21. ROYALTY GIRLS -- Kai, Jelai, Queencie, Chessa ----- (golly, i feel like crying!hehe) what can I say?! You pulled it off again! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for giving me a boxful of love! Thank you for going to Molo, Seven Seven, crossing barriers to get through Canada, Lancaster and Glendale or wherever it is just to collect 21 messages of love for me.. I'm touched! haha! Having friends like you made me appreciate life more. I've told you this in our friendship diary and I will tell you this again. You are one of the bestest thing that has happened to me! This friendship is worth every effort that we've put into. People may be amazed by how much we do extra things for one another and how we do it with flair. I am not surpised by it at all. Isn't this what friendship is? Norm na ni ya sa aton! haha. We have told each other to show them what friendship means and I guess, in our hearts we know that we already did. We have been through a lot, not to mention our uniquely crazy love lives or the lack of one! Our friendhip has been put to test and surely, not one royal soul bailed out. We will always be thankful to Him for that. I guess all I have to say is sorry for being such a bitch at times, sorry for not being the most accepting and supportive friend, for being stubborn, for coming off too strong at times, for being a pain, for being frank or too frank, for being hurtful, for being bossy or evil-ey manipulative, for not being very appreciative, for being such a joke, for laughing at you when you cry (we all do this, don't we?! haha!), for pulling pranks at you, for being hambog and suyaan and ambisyosa or even a gaga monster. Sorry for all of the negatives in me. You know it as much if not even more than me. And I AM SO THANKFUL that even if I am all this you still looked passed the X marks and focus on the few checks that I am. People at times misunderstand me but you girls, pushed your efforts to understand. (ok , i'm tearing up now. I'll wash up first before MIG is drenched..hehe) I will always feel lucky that I have you. I may not have a ton of friends that others have but having the four of you forever can be enough for me. We are individually diverse beings but surprisingly we gelled into one. I can talk about all of you to anyone. I am so proud of how this had gone a long way. I hope we will have to put out all our efforts to stay this bonded. It's not everyday that I can befriend someone and call her a Royalty Girl. It only takes the four of you, plus me and mother queen, to complete the puzzle! Sydney White's mother was correct. "The friends you find in college are you're friends for life". I am SURE as hell of it! Loving you sissies! Congrats on passing the boards for the three of you. Queens, good luck on your Med school! Mwah and mwah!

.

• Thanks to all of you who braved their soul and placed their hearts into every line and word for me! Thanks for being part of my 21 years of existence! God Bless all of us! I wish all the best for all you!

Love and bliss frecklesnoots!

• Listening To: Love of My Life by Jim Brickman

WOW me again!

yesterday, i haven't eaten my breakfast and lunch on time. I ate at around 2:30 pm and took a bath at 3 pm. But who cares? 200% NA ANG SERVIEN!!!! yehey!

. .

They did it. We did it again! The november takers got 100% with 2 topnotchers as the November 2008 Nursing Licensure Exam was released yesterday. I was on the internet answering nervous questions on YM and SMS's. I was lucky to open the PDF file of the individual name list earlier since the moment i refreshed the page, Inquirer.net has just posted the link!

.

I searched for the names of Kai, Chessa and Jelai first. It felt like I was the one who passed the boards! haha! My hands seem numb again as I texted them! I didn't know how to text, type or scroll the mouse! I had a lot of errors typing my texts and YM messages! haha! Nakakabobo pala ito..haha! I did not even realize that I can save and send the PDF file to my those inquiring in YM rather than rationalizing that the site may be flooded so just be patient to wait for the page to load! haha! I was searching for every name inquired. Ella, Apol, LJ, Russel, Bibi, Mark, Pao2, KK, cousins of Jelai, friend of someones, girlfriend of someones, daughter of a friend of Mama's, friends of mine, almost every name I can remember! And I was glad I was the one who told many that they passed..haha! Glad to give the best news!

.

Soon, I was surprised Sir Vargas called me on my cell. "Hazel? Ara na results!"..."Yes sir..gachek man ko subong.." As we talked, a flash of tension rose since both of us haven't heard that someone did not make it. At that time, the top performing schools ratings and topnotchers were not released yet. They were checking the Nov takers' names one by one and at that moment, no one was LEFT BEHIND YET! So we hung up and he told me to inform them if "100% kita". As i find more and more names and gave my congratulations to more and more new nurses, i felt it in my heart that we DID it again! And soon enough, Sir called me up again saying that we got 100%! They checked the names one by one. By the time only one name is left (Siasat! hehe) the computer went off! hehehe..But then again, this is a family..and nobody gets left behind or forgotten..They checked Rhea's name and when it was there, they jumped for joy! haha!

.

i was very very elated! I was smiling the whole time! I was getting these flashes of memories of our own board preparations. But this time, there was an addition. My personal experience with the board exams continued to the time when we helped them in their preparations. Manong Don and I were there to support them even if it meant sleeping there at Holy Rosary for a week. It was one sure of a roller coaster ride! GRABE! it was so fulfilling! My gosh! sadya sadya gid ko ya!!! I'm sure Nong Don feels the same. Gakudog to atay ya! haha! It was worth every trip to Makro, every trip to the testing sites, every trip to pick up the foods, every inventory (until now, sorry, we haven't figured out how the 72 bottles for 99 stomachs for 2 days came up short! haha!) and every encouragement we gave them, even just a little. It was an honor serving you guys! I'll do it again in a heartbeat!

.

That afternoon, we attended the thanksgiving mass at 5:30 pm in Sto. Nino Chapel. After the mass, I congratulated every new nurse that I saw. It was so much fun! We made such a big noise outside the church..haha! Peace! Sr. Carol was also there. Kasadya gd ya!!!

.

I feel so blessed I belong in this family. I am and will forever be a Servien Christi Mariae 2008; by name and by heart.

• CONGRATULATIONS SERVIEN!!! WE DID IT AGAIN!

• I watched American Idol last week and I heard Danny Gokey sing the song, I Hope You Dance. Its by Lee Ann Womack. I hope that I can live by this song as I enter another phase.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion, always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder, where those years have gone)

• love and bliss frecklesnoots! wish me a happy birthday!

Listening To: the TV turned on

blabber!

hello! i'm here again...hehehe!

.

• ok, so i watched the movie When Harry Met Sally on V-day night. It was just a plain ol' movie for my mood that night. I thought that I've never seen that movie before but some scenes are just familiar that I may have watched bits and pieces of it before. I should have watched Death Becomes Her. It may sound gory but it's just an old comedy involving twisted necks and a hole in the stomach! Those are the scenes that are stuck in my head since then and surprisingly, those are seen in the movie poster itself! haha! Click the link to view it. I love that movie since I was a kid!

.

• Also, that night, I discovered that I was not expected to liquidate the cash registers! Darn it! I should have left them alone and spare me the dust and runny nose!

.

• I just read the Feb 14 papers yesterday. It was said there that Valentines day is SAD. Single Awareness Day! V-day is just one day for love, I have the rest of the year to love! now, ain't that grand?! haha!

.

• Yesterday was my brother's birthday! He's 13 already! Time flies! As we got home after dinner, I felt "techy". I installed the free DVD player we got from Sun Cellular plans which was lying beneath mama's drawer in their room. OK, that sounded very techy. All I did was just really to place the red, yellow and white cords to the player and the other end connected to the TV and plug the plug. Haha! that's simple, i so thought. So the first disc to go through? My One Tree Hill Season One DVD! There's really no surprise there. I missed that thing! They will go back airing on March, what am I supposed to do? Starve my soul to death? One Tree Hill is soul food!

.

• I can still remember I started on One Tree Hill marathons last December of 2007. We were practicing our capping ceremony those weeks. As every practice ended, I hurry up to get home just to have more time to watch the series. I was lucky that there were no homeworks or tests or lengthy NCPs that time! I get to watch 3-5 episodes every day after I get home. That was how I get more hooked with the series that I will forever love.

.

• Funny how until now, I can still remember what lines will be uttered next in some scenes even if I have only watched it once. I can still remember what a character would exactly react or do in some particular scenes. I am still moved by the same lines all over again. I haven't get to the tearing up part but I guess, I'll still cry on the same scenes!

.

• I feel nostalgic. I feel like my stomach twitched last night as I saw whitey again in the first episode. (OK, you can laugh at how dramatic I can get...) gosh! I missed that baldie! Peyton's hair was a mess! Haley looked geeky, and Brooke, well, a brainless slut, as quoted by her. Nathan and Lucas also looked and acted different. Not to mention Skills! haha! The rivercourt boys really looked like underdogs! haha!

.

• Oh well, that's life, we just need to grow up and leave the trash behind!

.

• I have to work on my assignment now. I have to take an OTH break to watch an episode of House, MD for the assignment. ( Dr. House is seen holding a Dhanzel balloon in the poster. Now that made me smile! haha!) Click on the green links!

.

• I do write long entries even if I intend it to be short, do I? hehe

.

• love and bliss frecklesnoots!

Listening To: Sound of Car Engines By Cars and Jeepneys That Pass by The Road Across the House

what a RED day!

• No, not love red..but BLOODY red!

.

• Today is Valentine's Day and it's one bloody hell! This is the first Valentine's day that I feel miserable! I am a total schmuck! I don't know why I am in the lowest of dispositions today but I think Stupid Cupid has a lot to do with it.

.

• I set my mind that on Valentine's day, I'm going to school. So there I was, getting ready for school. I was supposed to wear a light plum-pinkish shirt but something in the head was just saying nah-ah. So i went to pick up my purple shirt. When I went out to walk to school, I saw a lot of oldies in the Ceragem therapy facility near our house wearing red. I thought, red in Valentine's Day is so overrated! (yeah..yeah..call me cynical!) Then when I turned around the corner, a lot of people in all kinds of red things were there! Red cap, red shirt, red pants, red bag...and even red cars flood the street! And here I am in purple! How gloomy!

.

• As I was nearing school, I thought if I see some guy carrying flowers and/or chocolates or trying to hide the flowers to surprise the girl then I'll....uhmm..nothing! It's just that I'm more than positive that I'll see that scenario on Valentines. I was not wrong. Before I entered the gate, I saw some guy pulling out the bouquet of flowers he may have hidden in the guardhouse. I can imagine how he begged manong guard to hide them! haha! Surpisingly, manong guard let him..hmm...hehe! So there I was looking and managing to hurry up since I was late for my exams.

.

• I was happy to see other color than red as I answer my exams. Yellow pad!! we placed our answers in yellow pad and I was smiling. I just hope sir didn't notice the random smiles! After our pharmacology exams, we proceeded to Bioethics. our exams were enclosed in a red folder and our answers in yellow pad!!! Nice! hehehe! Thank God for yellow which breaks the monotony of red today! And thank God graduate school exams are open book exams!

.

• And oh, I saw a poster with "the guy" on it! haha! why is it that he pops up always near my birthday? my gosh! i think i just had a birthday PTSD! his sister is my classmate in bioethics. (Read about my last birthday here.)

.

• Valentines day is supposed to be extra special, right? (whatever.) Instead of getting a candle light dinner with a special someone, I had lunch at McDonald's with Jelai. What a loser! Instead of carrying flowers, i was carrying books. lots of them that i'm having a slight backache! What a major loser! Instead of receiving or writing love letters, I had essay exams! What a loser loser! Not to mention the crap of a speakers Atrium has! I was seated near the door in McDonald's and every time the door opens I hear this horrendous sound! I'm not even sure if what they're playing count as love songs! Lemme DJ for you next year,huh?!

.

• And if it makes you think I'm cursed, It rained the whole afternoon! I lost my umbrella last week for crying out loud!!!! AAAAHHH! Can this day get any worse?! We can't go anywhere to print our project. We emailed it to Kai and she was the one who had it printed since she will come see me that afternoon to give me a package. As we wait for her, it was dismissal time of the review class. Suddenly, flowers are popping out everywhere. Boyfriends seem to have common hiding places for their flowers since they came from the same direction. It made me think maybe they kept in the comfort room! haha! They kept popping out like microwave popcorns! Suddenly there are flowers everywhere! Why am I in that strategic located bench for sulking and whining?! hisa-an ko daan pro! I just then laughed them off with my usual spiel, "sige lang, sin-o nurse haw?!"..hahaha! I prefer love letters and songs anyway. Flowers wither and chocolates melt but letters are there to keep for a lifetime and tunes can be played over and over again.

.

• And if will help you think Stupid Cupid cursed me big time for back lashing him in my previous entry, the paper was wrongly formatted for some reasons I refuse to know. We submitted the project unfinished. And I went home drenched in the rain carrying those darn books in my big SM green bag. I only have the Air21 sulight pouch to cover my head. Flora gave me the shirt I bought online with her. How purple and gloomy can I get, huh?!

.

• That's not all. (yes, i'm starting to think stupid cupid is getting back at me) As I was cozying up with MIG, my laptop, I was told to close up our store. Shocks and smuckers! AAAH! It was almost six and I hurriedly walked to get there. I was supposed to liquidate the three cash registers. I didn't even mind that mama has not prepared the coins for the registers. Last minute, I prepared it with a lot of exhaustive and bored sighs. As I went to the first cash register, I forgot the key! Darn this job!!!! As i searched for it, it took me a long time before I got them since I got them last and when I was ready to put it in, I realized it was the wrong set so I went searching again! Damn it this time! I keep on telling myself I can't be in this job. This just isn't for me. By then, i have a handful of keys and I haven't got the right one. So basically, all of the keys in that small drawer were out and about before I got the right one! CRAP! Hay buhay!!!

.

• call me bitter, cynical, whatever. it's ok...i know...hehehe!

.

• Oh well, at least I got a card delivered by DHL...hehehe...thank you sender!

.

• Im gonna watch my Valentine movie now..hope it's fun!

.

• Happy Valentine's day frecklesnoots! How's yours?
• love and bliss!

Listening to: We Could Be In Love by Leah Salonga (I don't even know what to react to this!)

dear stupid cupid,

Dear Stupid Cupid,

• You are a really mean guy. I'd like to clip you wings so you can't fly. Maybe you shouldn't be dressed in wings with a bow and arrow. Maybe you should be dressed in red with tiny horns and a forky tail. Your arrows don't really work much anyway. Your arrows missed me again this year. YOHOOO! I'm here! Can't you see me?!

Alone on a day for two,

• Lazy Hazy

This year, I'm going to start a Valentine tradition. I'm gonna watch a feel-good or romantic movie every Valentine's Day. This year, since I've got no one "physical" to share it with, i'll settle with the imaginary. REEL could be sometimes better than REAL, anyway. hehehe! I think I'll start with When Harry Met Sally. I like the feel of old movies. And I am always fascinated with movie characters watching old movies in their living rooms when they are not in the mood and want to feel good. Maybe i'll do that tomorrow..

.

• Until the stupid cupid will hit me bull's eye, i will continue to watch home movies. If it's a nice hit, then maybe i'll find myself in some love seat in a theatre. (gosh, this made me cringe for some sort of reasons i cannot pull out!)

.

• until then, love and bliss frecklesnoots!

Listening to: All the Love in the World by The Corrs and If I aint got you by Alicia Keys

distorted.

• A couple of weeks ago, i had some trouble with my NCLEX application. I was ready, in fact more than ready to send it. My mind, body and soul was conditioned to apply for Califonia NCLEX. I addressed the envelope, sealed and labeled it. I was supposed to give it to Nong Don's sister at her clinic together with Nang Maane's forms. Nong Don was supposed to mail our forms there in California. However, some crap came up. (This is not the way I imagined how i'll blog these photos.)

.

• I was supposed to send our forms that afternoon but I feel lazy so I decided to give it the next day. A night before I plan to send the forms, I got a ring from Papa. Apparently, he was having dinner with his lawyer-recruiter-California based-vacationing friend. He said that you need to have a US Social Security Number in order to get your California license activated. If you can't do that in three years, your license will be canceled and you will have to repeat the whole nine yards all over again.

.

• I felt my mind congest at that very moment. I need to go to the States in three years to get that SS number thingy. The question is, can I?! I have no assurance. My tourist visa has bid me bye bye since March 2008. He was suggesting Vermont or New Mexico while I was trying to organize my thoughts. What am I going to do?! What am I going to say to Nang Maane? to Nong Don? I was one heck of a confused chicken!

.

• That night, I was browsing through the net regarding those States. But I was determined to get those forms sent the next day. What I was planning was, getting up late after the parents went to work (just to avoid THE talk which will confuse me a lot!) then sending the forms to the clinic and come back before lunch time. Talk about ambush! haha! But I was not able to avoid the talk..hehe..But I decided to give our application forms anyway. But when I got to the clinic, it was closed! Darn it! I thought of going to a nearby mall and pass time 'till 11 am but as I walked, I decided that I'll just come home and return that afternoon.

.

• By lunch time, Papa SMS'd me that I should forgo my application and not send it. WHAT?! That was easy for him. I was telling him alibis because I just don't want hassles! I've paid for my school documents and half of the mailing fee together with Nang Maane. If it's only me that is concerned, it's really ok. But I'm also looking out for others.

.

• I was getting texts from him to forgo it rather than face much hassle later. Honestly, I was very annoyed. I don't know if its just me being stubborn or it's just my mood that day. Of all things, I really don't want anybody to mess up my plans most especially if i have completely conditioned every fiber of my being. I have thought about that application for a long time. I have had mental rundowns of what i will do from application, to time of review, to taking the test. If I forgo this application, all of those conditioning would explode into dusts.

.

• That afternoon, I was very, very confused. Papa went home and we talked THE talk. I completely understand the hassle. What holds me back is the fact that I have conditioned and prepared myself for this step. Now what?! Not to mention, Nang Maane, Nong Don and indirectly his sister and my school documents will be affected if i forgo. Nong Don was calling the BON the day before his exams. I feel kinda bad, though I know its echos aside, since he could use up that time to prepare and not think of this crap that i initiated!

.

• But then, maybe its just wise to just let it go. The disadvantage column is longer than the advantage column in the weigh list this time. It's amazing how one single conversation with someone can change everything. I am not blaming anyone nor the lawyer-recruiter-California based-vacationing friend. I am just pissed with the situation. I am someone who banks on conditioning more than anything to be prepared for anything! And it would also take time for me to let go. (But i'm sure after this entry, it's over...and it's not a hypergraphia thing.)

.

• I don't know if i'm just really stubborn to change or I just want to do something on my own and show it to the world and be proud of it. Then maybe, I'm just some "minor" who still needs assistance and guidance. oooh! I hate growing up! There are a lot of decisions to be done and they are to be done fast! I can't do fast! I need time to condition. I tend to take things slow. I don't wanna rush these BIG things. As much as I wanna make things conform with my own time and plans, I guess time was not at my hands that time. And maybe, this is not just the time. The initial plan was the three of us together; Jelai, Nang Maane and moi. Jelai backed out since she hasn't passed the boards yet and application is possible but quite a hassle. Another is I just can't give the forms to Nong Don's sister readily. There has been just a lot of delays- my laziness, closed clinic in the morning and another closed clinic one afternoon. It's just the many wonders of life. Life doesn't turn out the way you plan it.It gets you when you are most vulnerable! It gets you when you least expect it. And when it does, I feel like i transform into this gaga monster! Harsh and dysfunctional!

.

• Or maybe then, this is karma. I've been bad, for lack of a better term, lately. And I haven't maintained much faith as what it was when I took the boards last year. Maybe this is just another blow. Whatever this is, it made me feel distorted! I feel like I need to take a grasp of things but I can't hold on to anything. It's not that they are going away or won't come to me, but I can't just reach them. I feel them staring at me and just waiting, waiting for me to grasp them and place them in my plans again.

.

• That afternoon, I told Nong Don that I'm gonna withdraw my application and send only Nang Maane's. He gave me options but what can I do? That's the order of the man of the house and I was also with him. I was sad and frustrated. I thought this is the end of being a bum. But again, I was wrong! This is the start of bumming up Chapter 2! Right now, I couldn't decide what to do. It's either Vermont or New Mexico. But I haven't taken a step. I haven't even took the seal of my application envelope and pull out the cheque!

.

• _
• That night, I went to Kai's house. The royalties were there and we had a "problem conference". Royalties can be problematic too, yah know! So we talked there. It feels so good to take my mind off my own problem and just be a friend for a while. I didn't mind Papa's additional texts about Vermont infos. I cannot take just more that afternoon! THE talk is enough. I understand. Just give me time to breathe.

.

• Gosh! Enough of this transitions and coming of ages! I cannot believe I'm saying this, this soon but...being a student is better!!! huhuhu... When will life ever answer my questions?! Sometimes, when i vent out my gibberish trash, i need more than empathetic sighs! I need direct answers and directions, for crying out loud! But I guess I have to figure it out myself, huh?! Life...tsk! Moments like these make me turn on my power song, Just For Today by India Arie. It's the only song that can remind me to calm down.

.

• How i wish life is measured by the cornucopia of thoughts and feelings when i get to watch One Tree Hill on TV Tuesdays, the insights that I get from the Tyra Show, the relaxation that i get from listening to old songs and watching my movie downloads, my every hearty laugh, smile or giggle on DH chats, the excitement of online shopping or the joy of having to read another book. Right there and then, I can say that I am living the most fulfilling life!

.

• In shorter terms, if life is being a bum, i'm doing far better than great!

.

• love and bliss frecklesnoots!

Listening to : Sailing By Christopher Cross

how to know if you're watching a pinoy flick...

i found this as i was browsing the net last january 26..

Top 20 signs of a Pinoy flick

So how would you know that you are watching a Pinoy movie?

Here are the “Top 20 Signs” according to a reader who didn’t identify him/herself (thanks to you!):

the one's that made me laugh are highlighted in red

1. Sasayaw ang loveteam sa likod ng puno ng buko kapag nasa beach ang eksena. Alternate na lalabas ang ulo nila from behind the puno.

2. Ang kontrabidang babae yayakap sa bidang lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.

3. Ang pansit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pansit para sa kanyang nanay na si Anita Linda. Tatawagin ng bida ang mga bata para kumain at kukumustahin niya ang pag-aaral ng mga bata habang kumakain sila. Biglang may titigil na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay at pauulanan ng bala ang pamilya. Mamamatay si Anita Linda at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaayyyy!!!” at mangangakong ipaghihigante ito. Moral of the eksena: Ang pansit ay nakakamatay.

4. Kapag may magkaribal na babae, ‘yung mabait derecho ang buhok at may bangs. ‘Yung salbahe, laging kulot.

5. Sa Pinoy action movies, ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.

6. Sa Pinoy action movies, kapag tumakbo ang bida, sa lupa lahat ang tama ng bala ng kalaban.

7. Kapag may mob na pupunta sa bahay kubo ng manananggal, si Vangie Labalan ang laging lider.

8. Alam mong moment of truth na kapag sinabi ng bida ang title ng pelikula (sample: Isang Bala Ka Lang or Kapag Puno na Ang Salop).

9. Ang tawag ng kontrabida sa kanyang mga goons, “Mga bata.”

10. ‘Yung nakababatang kapatid ng bida habang naglalaro, mabibitiwan ang bola at mapupunta sa gitna ng kalsada. Pagkatapos, may darating na sasakyan at itutulak ng bida ang bata at ‘yung bida ang papagitna ng kalsada. Naka-cross ang arms ng bida who is covering his face. Sisigaw ang bata ng, “Kuyaaa!” Next scene: Nasa ospital sila. Simula na ng drama.

11. Kapag bakbakan, hindi nasasaktan ang bida pero umaaray siya kapag ginagamot na siya ng leading lady. Next scene: Nagla-love-making na sila.

12. Kapag sinabi ng kontabida sa bida ang masama niyang plano, sasabibin ng bida, “Hayop ka!”

13. Ang bidang babae, kapag katulong ang role siguradong iri-reveal ng amo na anak siya nito.

14. Ang nanay ng mayaman ay laging may pamaypay na pang-mayaman at ang nanay ng mahirap ay laging naka-duster.

15. Ang hideout ng kontrabida ay parating mansyon na may chicks na naka-hilira sa paligid ng pool.

16. Ang mga bida sa drama, kapag nakatanggap ng masamang balita laging may pinto sa likod nila para puede sila sumandal habang nag-i-slide dahan-dahan pababa, todo iyak at kung minsan with matching uhog.

17. Kapag hindi nahuli ng mga goons ang bida, sasabihin ng boss sa kanila, “Mga inutil!”

18. Laging nakakapulot ng baril na may bala ang bida kapag kinakailangan niya.

19. Laging mas maganda ang yaya ng bida kaysa sa kontrabidang anak ng amo niya.

20. Kapag ang ending ng movie ay song-and-dance number sa beach o sa resort, ang huling frame shows the cast na tumatalon, sabay freeze. ---this remind me of andrew e. movies! oh my god! haha! i'm so glad my movie preferences have matured to a greater heights now! haha!
