the last 8 hours of 2002. i've just finished cooking part of our new year's eve dinner.. it doesn't require much effort- i just needed to submerge crab and prawn, but yeah, i don't feel futile at all! damn proud of it. (o:
call it weird and superstitous, but my family gets all dressed up in red for new year's eve. then we'd light up the fireworks and drink wine before sitting down for dinner. nothing that'll make us woozy.. maybe sangria. hehe. the point is- it's a tradition i look forward to. i usually hate family gatherings and functions, but i enjoy celebrating the new year.
happy new year everyone!
another thing- even if we're partly chinese, we don't do rituals, and we don't celebrate the chinese new year like this. dunno why..
oh wait.. maybe tonight'll be the perfect time to break in the news that i am getting admitted in de la salle univ. dad doesn't know that i took the entrance exam. when i told him i will, he was like, "whaaat?! it'll be useless.." needless to say, i took it using my own money, without his knowledge. (i wanna study here!) i can almost hear him tell me how useless it'll be.. oh well. c'est la vie.
i'm still crossing my fingers for the UPCAT results. regardless of the fact that i wanna study in La Salle, the University of the Philippines is still the best school there is.
best school for the best- UP only accepts 10% of the total number of freshman applicants each year.
tranquility crept over this place. my lil sis's asleep, clutching a teddy bear's arm. since we don't have a maid, i'm assigned to stand guard and stay awake to unbolt the doors when mom arrives from work.
look how early it is! i'm all woozy. i want sleep. i hear Morpheus coming. so, this is me- blogging. i loaded my chat client, too (to help me stay awake).
i woke up feeling beautiful yesterday. my eyes were no longer puffy, my zit was gone, my hair was just about perfect. today, i woke up with a buzzard's nest for hair. oh well.
it's almost Christmas and there's no xmas spirit in me. really now. where are you christmas, why can't i find you??!
in case i don't blog tomorrow.. Merry Christmas, everyone. 『좀』JOM [5:47:00 AM]

ait.. just got home from the christmas party my village held. guess who i saw there? demi. (hi k8!) and she looked so different from the last time i saw her. whoa.
my family is inactive. we don't attend homeowner events. until now. why is that? because i know the grown-ups would go- "ang laki-laki mo na! dati, nung bata ka pa.." right. six parents went up to me and said the exact same things. 『좀』JOM [3:29:00 AM]

yay! finally got an ISP again.
right now, i'm watching the Tailor of Panama on HBO. i'm only watching it because it's Pierce Brosnan's movie. hehe.. oh, btw.. this new avril song's pretty nice. i saw the video, too, yesterday. wasn't that great, but i really love the song.
just got home from the mall. 2 minutes earlier, someone called me up. i'm not supposed to take calls after 8.00p so i was like, "..oy, takas lang 'to.." (o:
naah. i'm not disappointed because of that. not really. so, i've gone to the mall, right? i didn't get anything for myself. i got everybody else presents for Xmas.

today was twins' day. it's this thing we have for high scool week. ever pair's expected to show up in the same outfit. tee and i wore the YRYS shirt, black pants from the Limited, and monster stilletos from Janilyn. after the event, my feet went- thank you, thank you.. gawd. wearing 3.5" stilletos is so painful.
i'm not supposed to be home yet. but since nobopdy else would watch the house, i had no choice but not attend the rehearsal. i'm gonna dance the Tango. it'll be so cool if my partner and i could do the dance routine shakira did in her "Objection" video. heh heh.. i'm supposed to do "hip exercises" (o: need graceful hip movements tomorrow, baby. 『좀』JOM [1:43:00 AM]

mood :: furious

chow :: snickers
what is wrong with these people?? in just a month, the new maid we hired deserted us. this is not supposed to happen to families like ours. we never maltreat maids in any way. we treat them as part of the family. i really haven't seen this coming. both the maid and her sister, Brenda, left. Brenda was actually getting along really well with my sis Vi-An. it's like Vi-An found herself someone to play with for the rest of her day. what went wrong? they left. just like that. exactly what our previous maid did- no notes, no explanations, no nothing. just gone. are we that difficult to live with? ni hindi nga ko nag-uutos sa kanila e.
mom's all sober. she's such a drama queen. i can't blame her, though. she's gone through so much. the sad thing is she doesn't care anymore. she's just about ready to give up. says Vi-an's the only reason that's keeping her from doing so. Vi-An. not I, not Vina, not anyone else. Vi-An. ouch.
i've gone to the mall after school today. i got this tee from YRYS. it's this simple white top with the phrase "it's hot in here" in silver glitter. pretty. there's this top i want, too. it says: if u can't read this, come closer. i dunno. i like its simplicity.
of course i went there without informing my mom. i told her i'd be staying at my friend's house. yes, i'm evil. and nobody cares.
the good thing about that is i'm only evil with my family. with anybody else, i'm so damn nice. i'm the perfect amo. i don't ask for anything, i don't like getting fussed over. i'm quite independent. as much as i hate washing dirty dishes, i can wash my own plate if you want me to. i can iron my own stack of clothes.
speaking of ironing, at least we still have Cecil, the one who does our ironing and laundry. too bad she's a "stay-out" maid. we need someone to look after the house while we're either at school or work. that's basically it. tess and brenda are asked to wash the dishes, cook, and watch the house. during weekends, they tidy it up a bit. not much, huh? stupid maids. they don't know what they're missing.
i'll quit it, okay. i'm just all bitter.
new links! i've added my friend Mark not "cousin" mark. just mark.. vanya, trinnah, and archesray's connected, too.
bye all. i may not be posting for 2 weeks for i don't have an ISP. i'm unauthorizedly using pldt vibe- the one that charges 50 cents per minute. my dad doesn't know i am.
i haven't posted this one last night- i was too damn tired. ::

i'm so full after having dinner at Tokyo Tokyo. i ordered my usual: tonkatsu, sushi, and red iced tea. i feel like magbu-buhay-baboy ako. all i wanna do now is sleep. it's 9.23p already and i haven't gone through a single page of my notes.
this is a nice song. the guy's the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls. makes me want to see the movie. (the song's in the OST).

i love yakisoba. i'm the kind of person who's really gonna survive on dorm food- instant noodles, rice-in-a-box, there's even instant champorado. mmm.. :P (champorado's basically chocolate porridge) can't wait t'get to college. five more months. it just seems more closer to home than the house i'm living in right now. i'm still jom from the block, though. my friend Kaoru once told me that i'm always as is. i guess staying real's like breathing for me, too. (o:
i've quoted "jenny from the block" too many times already and ima snap out of it. hehe. love that song. was supposed to dance to it, but i had very little time for learning its choreography that time. oh, well.
right. i had exams today. would also have 'em tomorrow.. i've actually started studying! i've got English Grammar- piece of cake; THE; PEHM; CAT. 6 freaking exams.
a while ago, in school, everybody's clammoring for photocopies of Claire's lecture notes. i wasn't one of them. i dunno.. laziness should be a crime. i don't intend on submitting notes. i'm only passing for Health, for i flunk there.
i was ranked 11th on the academic standing. i'm hoping i'd do better, but i know i won't be on the honor roll. i was so close! just a few more points and i'd be there on the Top Ten. let's just hope that i maintain my A in Math.
omigod. our maid's sister arrived about 4 days ago to asisst her, and she's so nice. i'm not used to be served hand and foot and i won't be. the yakisoba? she went up and gave it to me in a tray. and now, she'd just delivered a glass of OJ. that was so sweet. i felt so uncomfortable when she gave them to me. i'm admitting that i love the feeling of being more lazy than i already am, but i'm not this prima donna- i can live on my own. i can feed myself. right.. armed with dorm food, i could. 『좀』JOM [8:45:00 PM]

oh, the quinn tee? (: angel_cd22 says this reminds her of the shirt Daria's sister, Quinn wears. you know, that one with the smiley? anyway. wtf..
i haven't been uploading journal entries. why so? because i no longer have an ISP. thank god for edsamail. it used to be free, but now they ask its subscribers to pay a yearly fee. i'm not complaining at all. at P1 a day, i get unlimited email time. so yeah, if u email me, i'd be there to read it. every single time.
there goes mom and her paranoia. she's eavesdropping on some phone call. *inward cringe* does she screen my phone calls, too?
my mom needs to see a shrink. she has to if she doesn't want to flip her lid.

that's right. holy crap. i'm so sick of all these deadlines! right now, i'm working on my thesis. i've done this research on dorm disease: meningitis. i've no plans on becoming some brainy doctor, it's this thing i've to do for Health class.
pretty scary. since meningitis has the same symptoms as influenza, you never know you have it unless it starts to kill you. why is it highly contagious? because it is spread by respiratory and throat secretions. why do i speak of it? because. (i don't know either!! lol)
the philippine gov't declared dec. 6, the last day of ramadan, a nat'l holiday. perceiving this as a vacation for us christians, we went to the new greenbelt mall. very nice interiors. personally, i like this one better than the alabang town centre.
okay, so i've had this looong weekend. dec. 9's considered a holiday for us students who go to catholic schools. why is that? because dec. 8's the immaculate conception. did i hear mass? naah. 『좀』JOM [3:15:00 AM]

Economics was taken cared of. HELL YEAH! smack right at her face.
naah. it was taken cared of, alright, but not well taken cared of. it's not exactly a bara-bara project, but it may seem like that. why is that? because i didn't work hard enough for it. i hate Econ.
suddenly, i remembered that i took Economics as a second choice in my U.P. Clark application. hell, no. i'm leaning towards U.P. Manila by the way, i'd be taking up Development Studies as a pre-law. i heard that the exam results'll be posted this month. *crosses fingers* wish me luck!
speaking of college applications, my dad still doesn't know that i took the exam for De La Salle University. says dlsu teaches crap. but dlsu's my 2nd univ choice. so my mom and i had an alliance: if i pass in la salle, she'd pay for my tuition. pretty hard to stomach, considering how much la salle charges per semester. i think my course requires about P 40,000.00. and since la salle has a trimestral curriculum, i'd be paying P 120,000.00 a year. ouch. 『좀』JOM [12:30:00 AM]

yeah. so after 8 days, i'm back to schoolwork. i didn't wanna go to school today, i went for it's my class's birthday DAY. it's this nice little thing we made up: everybody brings food and parties. you know how when it's your birthday and you host this party? we didn't wanna do that all the time for it'll cost a lot. so we're combining all the birthdays into this day and part-ay! gawd. cake. can't seem to get of rid of it.
by the way, does anyone have the composer tone for holly valance's "down boy"? i love that. gimme. my current ringtone on my Nokia phone's the theme fromSex and the City. coolness, huh?
ait- so what sucks? Economics project. Health class project. Theses, Summaries and Outlines. i've to do all those in 3 days. tatlong araw. i've to get my lazy ass out of here.
speaking of ass.. it's weird. in the poster thing we did last week, maC portrayed me as a big arse. likes my butt a lot. you can have it. 『좀』JOM [3:26:00 AM]
