"Don't you dare splurge," my dad said as he handed me a folded piece of paper. His eyes were bulging. I unfolded the paper and found a gold card with my name on it. "A credit card? Why?" I asked. I know I know, you'd expect me to react with a little dance or a scream. But I was puzzled. I never ask for money aside from my weekly allowance. And even for that, I don't ask. What would I need a

Two seats away from me is a person I've been trying to spot for my more-than-a-year stay in the Ateneo. I would rather not write her name here in case she googles herself up every once in a while. She is a writer. She looks so normal. Weird. Not so different from the pictures I've seen on the paper. More skinny, I must say. Bleh.

See, this is unnerving. I get Fs on my first two Calc long exams. Then on the next exam, I get the third highest marks. Then on the midterm, I get the second highest marks. What's unnerving is that on those last two exams, I had the month off from extracurricular duties. Coincidence? I'd like to think so. But who am I kidding? Now I have a big decision to make.

School school school. This week was worse than hell week. The past two nights, I slept at 2:30 am. Now lateness or earliness is relative...but 2:30 am is pretty much late for my standards. Tonight was tiring too. It's currently 11:16 pm...I'm still in the middle of this essay I have to do...it's killing me! I'd rather write here than write about a subject of personal importance to me...come to

This afternoon as my brother and I were in the car, Britney and Madonna's phlegm-webbed vocal chords start poisoning the vehicle's insides. My face scrunches and becomes indistinguishable. My finger quickly jabs the radio buttons in quick search for a cure to my currently melting ears. Then a sound snaps my attention out from the radio box. It was my brother in a cry of protest. "Ateeeeeee!!!

Remember we interviewed Miriam Santiago last July? Well it's just sad about her son. I know it's a bit late and all, but I want to share part of the interview transcript here... (It's quite long so brace yourselves...it's actually interesting, with stuff to laugh about inserted here and there..so read on..if you don't want to have a headache, then don't) What's it like being a mother?

Forget the last post where I said I'd be updating the next day. I guess I've been tied down (yeah right, but hey I'd like to make myself believe that so as far as I'm concerned, it's the truth). Bottomline on the Baguio trip, it sucked. We were treated like prisoners in the Botanical Garden the whole time. On the uhmmm..better side of it, I finally had beer that does not belong to anyone who

Forget my previous post. I can't possibly make you green with envy going to that wretched bump-in-the-earth for the weekend. Bathing me with a refreshing blast of fire right now wouldn't hurt because I had been to hell and back. Baguio ACP = Hell The reason why I picked Baguio for my ACP was mainly because it sounded fun. The way they advertised the place was great. And what better timing:

Parlez-vous Francais?

2003-11-19T16:49:00.000+08:00

I've finally had French yesterday. I was late but thankfully in time for the prof to call my name out as I stepped inside the (uber small - three rows only) room. Boy was he great! Talo talaga si Monfort sa kanya! At the beginning he was scrambling for his chalk and he was muttering words all too French to himself! And he does it real fast too (unlike Monfort!). Then he spoke straight French to

It's the one subject I look forward to this semester and I decide to ignore my alarm clock. So I was rushing. I didn't have time to have breakfast. Then I find out that the building French was in was in Bellarmine, the building farthest from civilization. uurrrgghhh. So I went up three floors panting and sweating hoping to give mr french a good first impression (yeah right). I went into the

This is just great. My editor thinks I'm a party animal. Apparently, I had been out the times she called my house at night, which mind you happens really seldom ("Nag bonding na nga kami ng mom mo eh!," she says). Now the staff knows me as a party animal.

These days, trying to find a non-Friendster user is similar to finding someone who will admit to being a Jolina fan.

Since I was up that early, I also caught American Wedding. Buying the tickets had been...ermm...thrilling: Me: *in a very casual, direct, and confident manner* "Miss, dalawang American Wedding"

One thing I did not expect in college is the rapid movement of time. Today, being the last day of the semester, made me experience a mixture of emotions. I certainly did not want it to end so soon. I cannot help but compare this whirlwind of a time to a snow globe. A naive freshman begins his or her year with the shaking of the globe. As time progresses, the contents settle to the bottom,

This morning, I was roused from precious sleep by a knock on my bedroom door. I groggily trudged towards the sound and swung my door open and found my five-year-old sister smiling up at me. Sister: "Ate, do you want to go to Wamewica?" Me: "Huh? What's Wamewica?" Thinking it was just one of her non-sense questions, which comes quite often actually, I slammed the door. She's cute and I love

I hung out with a bunch of Miriamites today (do they call them that? Knollers perhaps?). All because I had to put up these posters to UP and Miriam. My partner-in-crime's dormmate was from Miriam so a bunch them tagged along. Man they are kalog! They certainly have a lot of those corny jokes you laugh at just because it's corny. We first stopped by Miriam where another Miriamite came along. Then

I remember seeing my grandmother by the gate all dressed up. must be going somewhere I

Hah! After hearing it yesterday from my mother, it is only now that I realize the truth in her words: "OK lang yung nangyari basta walang nasaktan". It just sank in a few hours ago because I really do not deserve to be let off the hook that easy. It's like I should suffer eternal damnation if I don't feel any guilt at all. But worse things happen. Today Inday Badiday passed away. May God bless

So it was my friend Bianch’s birthday and naturally, we jumped at the chance to use it as an excuse for the high school group to scream at each other’s faces once again. It was going to be this surprise thing where we don’t greet her at all then we just show up at her place at the end of the day. So we decide to meet up at Greenhills then from there we head

NSTP two days ago was terrible. Usually there would be around 5-10 kids for every two volunteers. Last saturday, 21 kids show up for class and guess who didn't show: my partner. So I was stuck with 21 brats all restless, some even crawling to sneak out the door and buy food. It was chaotic! Some kids even gang up on me and show me thier dragonflies. Next week we meet up with their parents. eek.

Thank God they haven't. I don't think I've gotten more than a D for Physics. Urgh. *** Speaking of my dad, I was quite irritated with him today. I guess he found out from my mother that a bunch of us from school saw a

I was flipping throught those local noon shows and those Sexbomb Girls disgusted the hell out of me. They were having this contest scouring the
