I remembered watching this ad while waiting for the delayed telecast of the Pacquaio/Hatton fight. I didn't know by then what the ad was really about or what product they were promoting. Then when i saw it again did i understood, it was another movement of change. So i signed up to check it out and was hoping to get a dog tag. ('cause really, those tags are really cool!hehe) But well there isn't much to see in their site. You make a commitment, sign up, log in, then read other people's commitments. So really, nothing much. Sasakit lng mata nyo sa kababasa kasi gumagalaw.

I saw a really cute guy in Kalibo yesterday. He's like on a summer job on some food chain, so kilig moments naman yun with anang during lunch hour (though she was digging this other employee na not as half as good-looking, so i was like, "are you sure you're wearing your contacts?" haha *mean!). He had like this crazy hair and super kinis face na really cute.hihihi I really enjoyed our visit to lola kahapon, though i wished we dropped by Sampaguita garden. I know, ilang taon na akong pabalikbalik sa Kalibo wala man ko gyapon kakadto sa Sampaguita garden. hmppppf! hopefully next weekend. Dasyaun gd ya, may duty pako. Gah.

here is the list of books that i will be reading this summer.

it's definitely on my top ten favorite movie list. I remember watching it over 5 years ago with my sister on tv, but even thought i have only seen it once i can still recall almost every frame of the film. my sis cannot even remember watching it, but i did, and i have been longing to see it again since. i guess it happens when a film has an impact on you, you just cannot forget it. anyways, i have just recently found the book and is now on chapter 5, i love it! and just last night, i found the movie in youtube. yey! it's pretty much the same as the first time i saw it, and am truly thankful that the quality was superb.

nothing much to say. i'm pretty bored. prom night tomorrow, i'm still back home. not sleepy at all though it's midnight coz i slept the entire afternoon. trying to check out if anyone's online at this hour. hmmmm... maye, therese.... the dogs are barking at the background. everyone's asleep. well, not everyone. bro's still not here. nothing good on tv. oh well.

Yesterday was Rizal Day so I would like to dedicate this post to our dear National Hero. I can't believe that he's been dead for a hundred and twelve years! I mean, there would be no more living eye witnesses that would testify about his existence.

I read this book, RIzal without the overcoat by Ambeth Ocampo and it's really a page turner coz I learned a lot of fun facts about Rizal. I remembered when the author visited our school one day and he was supposed to talk about education and stuff, but instead he babbled about Rizal coz he's like a historian and a chairman for the National Historical Institute. And I tell you, I would have preferred it that way coz he would have bored us all to death if he spoke about the educational system. Anyways, his visit made me but the book.

The book is practically a compilation of his articles from a newspaper (much like Twisted by Jessica Zafra) but he just focused on Rizal.

Okay okay, here are some facts I never knew until I read the book:

1. He can cook, by the way he described in detail some Filipino cuisine in Noli me Tangere would prove it. He's favorite dish is pancit canton.

2. He's very thrifty. Because he's allowance would always come late, he was always short on cash. So he boarded a room with no bathroom (and I hope he still bathed daily). He spent a lot of his money on books and even sometimes when he has no money, he would be ashamed to let his landlady know that, so on lunch time he would just take a stroll around the city and come back after an hour or two and his landlady would think he has already eaten. kawawa naman.

3.When he was abroad, he was engaged to two (yes 2!) Leonors: Leonor Rivera (everybody knows her) and Leonor Valenzuela.

4. He had mostly love affairs and flings on landladies. (Leonor River, daughter of his uncle who owns a boarding house, Suzanne sisters of a landlord whom he stayed in Paris I think and a Japanese woman in Japan (i forgot the details on this).

5. He translated 5 of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy tales  in Tagalog for his nephew to read on.

6. He cried like a child when he knew that Leonor Rivera was engaged to another man. awwww.

7. He had dreams that some people who say he's a psychic.

8. He would pose as a model for some of Luna's paintings.

9. He's ALWAYS wears an overcoat.

10. He's the only one in the family who used the surname Rizal, all the rest used Mercado. But after his death they changed it to Rizal.

and lots and lots more! Read the book, I strongly recommended it. Hey, can you recognized Rizal's shirt in the cover? Cool isn't it?

I have one thing to confess: when I took The life and works of Rizal subject, I developed a crush on him. Waaaaah! true. I don't know, I just got a mental picture of him as a man, not as an icon or a celebrity. Just a man. He was just sooooooo smart, witty and a romantic, too. Hayyyyyy... silly isn't it? Well I can't bring him back from the dead and marry him. lol.

Anyways happy Rizal day guys! (belated rather) It's just sad that the celebration is overshadowed by the holiday season.

It's three hours before 2009. Gosh I can't believe this year is almost over.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :)

I just watched Titanic for the second time in 24 hours and i'm sooooooooo wanting to watch it again. I've seen the movie like a million times but it's just so good i don't ever get tired seeing it (just like everybody else i guess). I remembered back when I was eight when Titanic was showing in the local cinema and I wanted to watch it. But my mom didn't take me with her 'coz she was complaining that I was always in a hurry to go home everytime we watch a movie (it's just because it would usually be a sunday and after a few hours it'll be a school day, so of course I'm in a hurry). But that day was a saturday, a SATURDAY! i had to reason to be in a rush so i begged her to take me, kneeling and crying. She didn't. She took my sister instead.Anyways I was able to see it a year later in the TV, I was alone in the house so I had the TV all to myself. I watched the love scene with my eyes between my fingers (but of course I didn't understand it back then). lol.Another short-term addiction, I should say, I've been watching the making and behind the scenes footage on youtube and mehn, they deleted A LOT!  About 30 minutes worth was deleted and i just can't imagine it being a 3 hour movie.

om tuesday:

damn it! you think it's easy? you pass by, take my breath away and then you just leave? disappear? arrggh! i hate you! no, i can't hate you. i like you... too much. and loathe you all the same. goodbye then, mister. there!

this is such a waste of time. imagine coming all the way to iloilo instead of being at home just to attend a stupid 3 hour/day lecture. arrrgh. 3 hours. that's 9 am to 12 pm. what am i gonna do with the remaining 21 hours? ugh. useless. stupid. i hate it. absolute waste.

it's so unfair! how come they get a break and we don't? argggh! i hate the thought of leaving home for classes. i wanna stay here, relax and desensitize. but no...because i have a damn lecture! ugh. my brain cells are too stressed out. two weeks worth of information will simply shut it down. i'm gonna get alzheimer's before i reach thirty if it's like this.

semestral breaks are supposed to give students a BREAK. and parents too. ugh.

taxis? lurking in the streets of Roxas City? you've got to be joking! my sis and i were out on a saturday afternoon when a white toyota avanza drove pass us. it had markings on it promoting capiz tourism and a logo "capiz cab" written all over it, not to mention the rectangular yellow lighting on top of it with the word TAXI.it was indeed a taxi. and it was in roxas city. BIG JOKE, i thought. a little city like ours didn't need one, we have our ever-loyal tricycles dominating the alleys.


welcome!

It was launched by the Capiz Transport Multi-purpose Cooperative last October 17, 2008. and hear this, capiz cabs have receipt-issuing meters, a first for a city outside metro manila. talk about a 30 peso flagdown, and 2.50 every 30 meters! ang mahal naman yan. i'd rather para nalang a tricycle.lol.

currently there are only 5 units plying the streets of dear Roxas City, and people are going manol over it. no offense, but a place like ours where tricylces dominated the streets, you can't help but wonder why these alien vehicles even bother to exist. i seems that the people of Roxas City is apt for progress that we can see the boring town evolving. from bars to coffee shops to cool parks to over-passes and now taxis. i can just tell that years from now there'll be high-rise building and busy streets during the night.

tapos kanina nung pauwi na kami and it was really super hot, we were like, "let's get a cab". yeah right, maghihintay lang kami nang 10 years bago may dadaan. so ganun, angkas nanaman ako kay manong driver.lol

and oh, i have little wish list for our dear city:

1. National Bookstore (number one talaga, lol)
2. lighting projects for dark alleys (especially yung sa may hemingway)
3. Public Library (they dissolved the one sa Capitol kasi. booooooo.)
4. more classrooms, seats and computers in public schools.
5. an icecream parlor.lol.

yun lang muna for now. i won't even tackle politics because it's pure crap. not really, it's just simply inevitable.
visit our city's site for more info.

it's official, i have absolute dislike for isabella marie swan. sorry to bella-edward fans out there, but i'd rather join a fan club for the latter only. it's not like i'm not jealous (i'm absolutely am), but who wouldn't be? bella is practically the most envied fictional character since elizabeth bennett.
 i hate bella for one reason: edward loves her and she doesn't deserve it.why? look at her! she's selfish, self-conceited, emotionally-drawn, die-hard hypocrite! and i just simply don't get her. what did edward see in her in the first place. i mean, she may be irresistibly mouthwatering (which is purely subjective) and difficult to read, but there is nothing else special about her.
okay okay, let me explain. here's one: she wants to be a vampire. eternal damnation but forever alive, with edward. he is totally against but but she just pushes him. she even asked carlisle and alice to do it. but does she care about her family? about charlie? renee? jacob? she doesn't. all she cares about is that she would rather die than be separated from his edward. so what if mom and dad would be devastated? they'll survive it. ugh. she even jumped over a cliff out of depression. talk about being a danger-magnet plus absolute stupidity. she disrespects charlie and doesn't ignores his advices. i pity him a lot because despite his indifference, he tries his best to reach out.
second:she only hangs out will people who bring her joy. if she's satisfied with your company, she'll be around, and you'll be best friends. but when edward comes back she'll leave you. poor jacob. she was head over heels with her.
third: she's a hypocrite. when edward went to the volturi, she was like, "what were you thinking? did you even think of your family?" ugh. pure hypocrisy. why bella, when you were fighting against the currents, did you think of your family when you decided to give up? ugh again.
i know it's a bad thing to say all of these. i mean i've only read twilight and new moon. but it was enough to develop dislike. i wish when i reach eclipse or breaking dawn, it wouldn't turn into disgust. i hope the story goes along well. i'm crossing my fingers that she won't turn into a vampire. i'm betting against alice.
and my dearest edward, no matter what you decide. i'll be forever faithful. you're my life now. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

they say you are what you eat. that makes me cold, sticky, fat and irresistible. I'm a peanut butter, well for the past 24 hours that is. i hadn't eaten one for a long time, so when i finally had my hands to a bottle of it, i can't resist the temptation to had a bite. several actually, try breakfast, lunch and dinner. it's such a short-term addiction. i love it! i love peanut butter! yum!

...and not happy about it. i miss OR sooooo much.

i still have our NP and a journal reading to work on this weekend. this is what i hate about the wards, requirements! buti pa sa OR, matawhay. and air conditioned pa. plus the hot surgeons pa pala. Dr. M, Dr. M, Dr. L and Dr. F.!!! oh how i miss the way to hold out your hand to me and wisper clamp or pick-up or allis or blade or any other shiny silvery thing on the mayo table. or they way i serve you your gloves but then i release it too abruptly and  you say agay or ouch kasi masakit yun. and most of all i miss the way you do your magic. your gentle, smooth moves on the bloody sterile field. and that perfect suture that no one else can imitate. (snap out of it macel! ur day dreaming.)

anyways, yun nga. too many requirements and so little the time. plus the distractions. my gaaaaaaaas. i will surely sue stephanie meyer if i am not cleared of my rotations. lol. Edward Cullen, my sheer obsession, you take no blame of my predicament.

Monday. 7:00 am. OB-Gyne ward. completed requirements............. here's hoping. :)

i was watching tv last friday because our pc took a day off. nothing good was really on so i was flipping from one channel to another until i suddenly stopped at channel 8, PBO (yes, pinoy box office) i'm not a fan of local movies, i rarely drop by to these channels but that night i did, for some unknown reason.

it was the 90's and here was young vina morales writing a letter about her life, like in maalaala, to kuya something, i forget his name. so the story goes like this, trish (vina morales) and mike (gary estrada) are neighbors and best friends, they practically grew up together and their parents are good friends. they stick together and get along on almost anything. and sweet talaga nila together, and their relationship is like between lovers and good friends. ambivalent kung baga. at age 16 or 17, basta high school, they started to have feelings for each other but neither really stood up, parang pakiramdaman lang. pero when their friends started to tease them because of their unusual closeness, nagkaroon nang malice and mike just suddenly stopped talking to trisha, iniiwasan nya talagang magkita sila o magkausap despite trisha's best efforts to do so. tapos one time, nakita ni trisha that mike and a girl were kissing in his car, and mike knew that they were caught. nahurt talaga si trish and she cried that night realizing how much she was so jealous of her and hated him for ruining their frienship. days or even months went on and talagang walang pakibuan.

then one night mike finally spoke to her. but the sad thing was, he was only trying to say goodbye because he was leaving for the states. si trisha naman nagalit, she said this and i quote "gusto mo lang makipagayos sakin para malinis yang kunsensya mo. i've invested a lot of time and effort in this friendship, but you just took it for granted. if you wanna leave, just go" (oh diba, memorize ko talaga? lol) anyways, walk out. then on the day na aalis na si mike, they spoke on the phone to say their goodbyes. napaiyak again si trisha because she really loved him na. she wrote him letters but on the final year she kept on sending unanswered letters.

then he came back. and finally, professed his love for trisha. the scene was really so cute, nakakakilig. lol. so there they are, back to their intimate closeness until one day when they were biking mike suddenly felt wrong. this was when his mother finally revealed to her that mike has a serious condition of brain cancer and he only when  back to see her again because she loved her. tapos ganun, explain explain and iyak iyak. he had a scheduled operation that follwing month at the states. so when he left he was already weak and even unable to walk on his own or even speak. i liked this scene very much because it was really maganda. mike was being loaded to the van and when it was leaving trisha ran and then hugged and kissed him. the acting was so good it felt real. actually, the quality of acting of the entire movie was really compelling because it was so good, something you wouldn't expect from a filipino movie. anyways, mike never survived the operation, he died and his body was brought back to the philippines.

i had to admit i shed tears at this movie. i know what you're thinking ewww, cheap naman. you cried at movie that starred vina morales? but really, it's true. this movie made me appreciate the quality of our local actors, and even our music. my gosh, the 90's music are the best. i'm even looking up for some songs that were the soundtrack. and opm yun ha.

and this movie is like a 2-in-1 movie pala. the 2nd part was of the story of dona cruz and keempee de leon, and i've seen it na before. and it's entitled love notes pala.

i had to conclude this: gary estrada is/was gwapo pala. lol.
