Snagged this from Vanny (who, btw, have yet to return my Philo stuff)
The Rules:
1. Write messages for 15 different people. You can write ANYTHING.
2. You CANNOT say who these people are, or for whom the messages are for.
3. If someone asks you which one is about them, you CANNOT tell.
The Messages:
1. I still can’t get over that conditioner incident. You were supposed to leave some for me! :P
2. Virgin ka pa ba?
3. Enough already, dammit.
4. I wish it were five years from now and we’ll both be in Manila. I’ll be working and you’ll be in med school. Road trip from North to South Luzon? :)
5. What we shared, totoo ba yun, or were you just forced by circumstances to play along?
6. I’ve been waiting for so long. When can I sign the contract?
7. You think you know everything about me. Think again.
8. You have no idea how much I’m hurting inside. Come to think of it, you do. You’ve felt this way before. Ironic, isn’t it?
9. Do you still remember me? I wish I had the chance to say goodbye before you left for Norway.
10. Where the hell are you? Kelan binyag? I haven’t heard from you in almost a year!
11. Hey there. How’s your little girl? I hope we can talk some time. As in real talk, no holds barred (or something like that). I feel na we’ve drifted apart e.
12. Akala mo kung sino ka. You and your posse. You think you’re better than everybody else. Turncoat. Hmph. So young but you’re already adept at politicking.
13. Sana magbreak na kayo ng chubby mong girlfriend para pwede na maging tayo. Heehee.
14. Are you lesbian or just on your merry way to spinsterhood?
15. I wish it were different for the two of us. I wish it wasn’t as complicated. Or am I the only one complicating an otherwise straightforward situation?

books and stuff
Nanay and Tita bought me a bookcase in Iloilo last week, and it would be delivered anytime soon. I wasn’t with them when they bought it, but they tell me that it’s nothing fancy, just the standard upright bookcase. Finally, my precious books would have a home. They’re currently residing in shelves scattered all over the house, so the thought of seeing them in just one place is quite exciting for a bookworm like me.
My collection isn’t that spectacular, mind you. Just a dozen or so classics that I’ve been buying since high school (an offshoot of Ma’am Barrientos’ reading requirements for English 2) and several novels by contemporary writers. But it’s my parents’ books (that are kept in a shelf near the ceiling) that I’m interested in. Really serious stuff like Marx and Lenin, communism and civil rights, and analyses of wars and revolutions. Not exactly my usual dose of fiction, but I would like to try reading some of them. With the new bookcase in transit, at least these books would not be out of reach (literally) anymore. Perhaps just intellectually beyond my reach?
In other news, I was glancing at today’s newspaper and I read “My husband is ready to face investigation” underneath the headline. I thought it came from PGMA, in reference to the jueteng scandal, but turned out it was from Garcillano’s wife. I realized that if it were Gloria who said that, either she’s bluffing or our country has gone to the dogs. If Mike Arroyo is “ready to face investigation,” then his wife probably has “taken care” of everything so that he, Mikey and Iggy could go scot-free. Tsk tsk. Politics was never meant to be this dirty.
Anyway, Tita went to Iloilo again this weekend and she bought me several blouses. They’re a welcome addition to my meager supply of “grown-up” outfits. When I started jobhunting last March, I was scrambling around for clothes I could wear while wandering in Makati. These days, I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go, so to speak. *sigh* I’m still waiting (ah, the agony of it!) for any response from any of the companies I applied to. As I’ve said before, life sucks.
On a more cheerful note, Jommel, my baby brother, went to school today. No, it’s not the “real” school yet, just the daycare center in our barangay. He’s just turning three this coming October, so we weren’t really planning on sending him to school. But he and his yaya tagged along when his playmate (who’s a bit older than my brother) went to school last Friday, and my brother was hooked. According to his yaya, he was listening attentively to the teacher and was very well-behaved. Although he was wont to take his classmates’ things, but only if he didn’t have one of his own. And since his “tuition” was a whopping Php100 entrance fee, and an additional Php50 monthly, Nadya, my younger sister has offered to shoulder that. See how worthless I have become? My 10-year-old sister is already paying for our brother’s education! I couldn’t even afford to buy him crayons. Sheesh. Not so cheerful anymore.
P.S. San Antonio Spurs won Game 5. Yay! Go Parker! Go Ginobili! Go Horry! Go Duncan! *sigh* I know, I’m not really an NBA aficionado. But still. Aren’t they the cutest things. Tee-hee. I can’t say the same about Detroit Pistons; Hamilton’s face mask thingy is just off-putting.
Oh, and I just found out that Tony Parker and Eva Longoria (from Desperate Housewives, I think) are together. I can’t make up my mind which one to envy.

TEN THINGS ABOUT YOU
10. My hair is always short, never going past my shoulders
9. My right eye has a significantly higher grade (200) than my left (only 50), probably because of number (8)
8. My left eye can’t move to the extreme left. This is because of Duane’s Retraction Syndrome, where a nerve in my left eye is damaged. I’ve had it since birth.
7. I have a tendency to have weird crushes. The only example I can come up now is Mike “Pekto” Nacua, a comedian in Nuts Entertainment and Wow Mali, among others.
6. I have never flown a kite nor learned how to ride a bike.
5. I’m terribly shy, hence, I do better in intimate gatherings than in large groups
4. A part of my heart is in Norway. *sniff* My friends in Tugon should know why.
3. I’m going through a crisis… I don’t know where I belong!
2. I just found out that I’m a controlling person. Very controlling indeed.
1. Single but committed to somebody. Weird ba?

ONE GREATEST FEAR IN LIFE: that no one would know me enough to write a good (and accurate) eulogy on my funeral
Sunday, April 17
I bought three tiger barbs a couple of days ago. That’s a kind of tropical fish, if you still don’t know. They’re small and light brown, with four dark vertical stripes on their sides. Two of them died last week. They're in the freezer right now, awaiting burial. Don’t worry, it can’t be mistaken as ulam because I placed it inside a box of matches. Oh, and we’re planning to buy an aquarium (complete with aerator, filter and the customary miniature castle). But my younger sister, Nadya, and I have to use our own money. So we have to “work” in our family business. *sigh* My first taste of “independence” in the “real world.”
Nadya actually has more money, whether in the wallet or in the bank, than I have. And to think she’s ten years younger than I am.
By the way, she’s taking Math and Science classes that her school is offering this summer. It’s not because she failed or did poorly during the school year. She actually won a couple of Math contests already. District level nga lang, but she’s quite good. And this is not just the proud sister talking. Gahd, aren’t we a bunch of nerds.
But for all her potential, she has one shortcoming: she hates reading. She actually got sleepy after reading a page of Nancy Drew. (To her credit, it wasn’t really that interesting. Nevertheless…) So what’s wrong with that, you ask. A lot. How is she suppose to know important stuff when she won’t read anything other than her textbooks? How is she suppose to pass her entrance exams when her vocabulary is miserable and her reading skills are next to zero? Besides, reading is a way better than sitting in front of the idiot box all day. What is wrong with kids nowadays? Don’t they know that if they don’t read, they’re gonna grow up bobo? Sheesh.

break time from crunch time
Finals week na, and I'm still blogging. Woohoo. Is this the senior's syndrome? Nah. Just plain laziness. I have an oral exam tomorrow morning, a presentation in Bilibid tomorrow afternoon (I'm gonna ask them to extend my parole. Haha, just kidding.), and then I have to finish our thesis before Saturday. Crap crap crap. And here I am. Snagged this from Ate Peachy.
Last Car Ride: With Cesca yesterday. She dropped me off the other side of Katipunan after our International Finance finals.
Last Cry: Tuesday last week. I had this psedo-confrontation with this matrona in Mercury Drugstore. It wasn't really a big deal, but I was so so so vulnerable and so so so stressed that time, so I just had to cry it out. Oh well. I'm a crybaby.
Last Smile: At Denden. We were talking about our presentation in Bilibid, and scheming to blackmail our teacher to get an A.
Last Library Book Checked Out: Hmm... Something about the Lopezes and Kinship Politics in the Philippines. They were for our History 166 paper. We got a B+ there. Hee. So damn proud of myself. Could've gotten an A, though. Haha, yabang. Sorry.
Last Movie Seen: Ocean's 12 with Angela sa Gateway. Gahd, that was so long ago.
Last Book Read: Philippine History by Agoncillo. Just scanned it, though. No, I'm not a nerd. I had a history exam this morning.Last Beverage Drank: Milo Freeze from caf. Only it wasn't frozen.
Last Food Consumed: Does a candy count? Um, I ate corned beef with egg this morning in Jollibee.
Last Crush: Cutie Pie!!! Oh, wait, that was an obsession.
Last Phone Call: My younger sister, Nadya. She called me to say that she won in this Math contest. Oh well. We are a bunch of nerds.
Last TV Show Watched: It's all a blur for me. All those Korean telenovelas in ABS-CBN and GMA. Cholo, Francis,
Justin, Jodi, Sandy, Jesse, and the rest of the chinky-eyed characters with amnesia or infinite supply of patience or goodness or love and stuff.
Last Time Showered: This morning.
Last Pair of Shoes Worn: I'm wearing my Nike rubber shoes right now.
Last CD Played: I don't have CDs.
Last Item Bought: Milo Freeze from caf.
Last Downloaded: One of our papers or group reports. Whatever.
Last Disappointment: Oh, let's see. Do you have the time to read them all? No? All right, I'll spare you the agony.
Last Key Used: Key to my Mazda 3. Haha, asa pa!!! Anyway, key to my dorm room.
Last Phrase Spoken: "Internet po."
Last Sleep: I slept at around 10:30 last night and woke up at around 7 this morning. Longest sleep I had for the past three weeks.
Last Ice cream Eaten: Very Chocolate ice cream in those little cups that they peddle in the street with this umbrella-d traysikad that goes "tenenenentententenen"
Last Time Amused: A few minutes ago. I was reading Andie's blog and she came up with weird movie titles.
Last Time You Wanted to Die: Last week? I was so stressed.
Last Time In Love: *clutches heart and wipes away tears*
Last Time Hugged: A very long time ago. *goes to a corner and bawls*
Last Time Kissed: *sniff* Skewer my heart some more, will ya?
Last Time Held Hands: Hmm... I held Abie's hand this afternoon. We were showing Jay how hot and lesbian we were. Haha. Gross.
Last Webpage Visited: Friendster.
Last Song Listened To: Sandara's singing "Walang Sabit" right now. "Walang sabit/di tulad na iba..."
Last Time Stressed: Finals week namin. Need I say more?
Last Time REALLY Happy: While I was talking to my baby brother yesterday. Oh, he's so so so cute. I miss him so very much.
Last Time Excited: This morning, before my History 166 final exam. What? I really love her exams. So easy yet so difficult. All right. All right. I'm a nerd.
Last Time Confused: Noontime, while answering my History 166 exam.
Last Time Worried: This afternoon because I was looking for our teacher and I couldn't find him.
Last Time Late For Class: 2 weeks ago. I can't remember which one of my subjects exactly.
So there. Oh well. Back to the real world. Hafta study study study. *gulp*
