i just saw The Fast and The Furious on DVD again. right after that, i tuned in to MTV in time to see this video from Busta Rhymes. the yellow car pulls in and i got reminded of the fact that this car sends me salivating.
mine! mine!
hey, F1's to be held in Malaysia, right? or isn't it? even if we all know who's gonna win anyway.. it'd be fun to see it in action.
besides, my cable channel pulled off ESPN and Star Sports. dang. i miss watching F1, Asian X, and yeah.. all those executed stunts at the cheerleading competition (i've been a cheerleader for 4 years.. don't blame me if i like watchng this stuff! hehe).
since they left for Baguio, my dad had called me up thrice on my cellphone and twice on the landline. he just wanted to make sure that all the windows and doors are locked, that the pets have been fed, and that i was staying at home and not partying like mad. yep. checking up on me.
mom, who's in Palawan, called up once last night asking the usual stuff moms ask- "Have you eaten?" or "Did you lock the doors?"
and if that wasn't enough, my sister (who's in Isabella, btw) had Owen to check up on me, too. they are only allowed to turn on their mobile phones between 8.00p-9.00p and she didn't think i had my phone back.
i am sixteen and i've been left at home hundreds of times. why bother asking whether i'm fine or not? if there's trouble, i can always call you. well, you're not getting calls from me, huh? it means i'm running this house fine. everything's okay.
besides, i may be moving out next month.
by the way, has it occured to you that you can hover on a particular clump of text for more dibs? well, you can.

i've gone to the Power Plant Mall with dad today. He wanted to see whether the PDAs are on sale at the Hub. He wants that blue phone from Sony Ericsson. :o( what about me? nope. no donations to the "Jom's N760 Fund" ..Unlike other men out there, my dad loves to shop. He took me to the Mont Blanc store where pens sell for Php 13,000.00 each. Gah. He bought one of such pens last year and he wants another one. Lan Tsau Bin.
"A smart person never goes out without his watch," he says as he pointed out this and that from the Rolex collection. My jaw nearly dropped when i found out that the watch my dad was wearing actually sells for Php 360,000.00.
Thinking about money makes my head spin. )o: i'd do without all those fancy bling bling. Naah. No Manolo Blahniks, Jimmy Choos, and D&Gs for me. But I've to admit, the Rolex was pretty nice. (o:
Yesterday, I've gone with my mom to right after an early dinner (at 5.30p!) we visited my 91-year-old great great aunt who lives in Makati. Lola was full of energy last night, yakking about how she hated Math in college (she found out that i'm waitlisted in UPLB for BS Math) and how she misses her first boyfriend. lol (o:
And since Vi-An and my dad leaves for Baguio tomorrow at the same time Mom and I are supposed to leave for Palawan.. I'm being a good girl and I'm staying behind )o: Home alone with our household helpers who speak in a dialect i can't understand..
I've indeed run away from everything simple. Being good has its complications. )o: 『좀』JOM [5:28:00 AM]

i was s'posed to post this last night, but my net connection went berserk.
*paranoia (dirty mix) is I.
musique :: /nine inch nails/ deep

******** /avril lavigne/ losing grip
gulp :: powerade (ick. it tastes like liquid candy)
Kai left for her practicum this morning. she'd be back after 6 weeks. (miss her already.)
still no word from Paolo. dang. they said it'd be released yesterday. wtf??! maybe their "after holy week" sched is all the way til friday. i'm almost convinced that i didn't make the cut yet again. oh well.. i gotta get that off my mind for now.
powerade's doing a great job of distracting me. it's non-carbonated orange soda (is that possible?) and i feel like i crammed 9 lifesavers in my mouth and i'm trying my best to gulp them down my throat. shtick-ay. yick.
and no, i don't think the Nokia 7250 would be mine this month. i might settle for something el cheapo because i'm planning to go to Palawan and it'd shed of at least Php 6,000.00 of my casheesh. i'm eyeing the 6100 and the 3530.. and if the 5100 comes out soon, better.
and if water runs dry and i get a job this summer.. well, H3LL0 N7250!

musique :: /evanescence/ my immortal
mood :: let's just say that i'm on the edge right now.
2 mugs of Taster's Choice in Vanilla Roast this morning. and if i nail-bite (which i don't), i must be nail-biting right now. everytime the phone rings, i jump from my seat and pick it up. i even lift the receiver on our fax line.
(we've three phone lines in this house. one's exclusively for the fax & internet, one's exclusively for incoming calls, and one's for overseas calls. i know. my dad's exaggerating. 3 phone lines! if we pay for just one, and donate the money saved to my "N7250 fund" everything's gonna be so cool, i'm gonna jump out the window, collect roaches, and wash the dishes. ermm.. no.)
call, paolo. call. (he'd confirm whether i got in or not.)
i'm checking my cellphone every ten seconds just in case somebody sends a message and i haven't heard it.
no calls. dammit.
they're releasing Univ of the Phils wait-list results today. do you know how hard it is to get in there?
i'm saying it again. out of the 70,000 freshman applicants each year, they only admit 7%. fuck UST. fuck DLSU. as far as i'm concerned, this is my school. this is where i should be.
oh, by the way. you're so gonna hate the nxt layout. i'm cancelling putting it up because it might load too slow. preview? 『좀』JOM [8:33:00 PM]

i am so worn-out from yesterday. if you've read my blog before, you probably know that i was scheduled for an interview at UST. i showed up this time only to end up being grilled and going there for nothing.
they required me to pay Php 3,000.00 since i couldn't submit my report card. why was that? because two days before that, i was at De La Salle U, paying a Php 4,000.00 reservation fee, and submitting my report card since it's one of their requirements, too.
so why haven't i paid 3T and got on with the program? because i came with my sister and i have nothing else but Php 1,500.00 in my wallet. i called my dad immediately. naturally, he got pissed because of the dlsu biz. he said he'll see what he can do for that.
i've been trying to contact my dad for the next 5 hours, waiting for what that was, but it turned out he was in a hearing with 5 different cases, i think, and couldn't attend to my calls.
mom was sending SMS like mad, continually saying, "go home. there's nothing else to do there. i'm enrolling you at dlsu. if you end up in UP, he wins. but if all else fails, i'll take you to dlsu."
she was right, you know. waiting for 5 hours for a response that was definitely important was crazy. and you know how when things are so bad that it couldn't possibly go worse and then it does?
i was totally bummed out, caught in the middle of mom and dad again. i was frantically thinking of other possible options, when in fact all of them are deemed futile since thay would'nt let me decide for my own anyway. and then this woman beside me spills half of her sticky drink at me. she didn't even apologize. she just walked out of the scene, embarassed at the idiocy she unleashed. daft!
i may have forfeited my slot at UST, but you know what? i'm glad that i've finally narrowed down my choices to UP and La Salle. Kai said that Paolo would let me know on the 15th. That's 4 days away. maybe i can manage to keep my sanity til then. 『좀』JOM [5:30:00 PM]

musique :: /amerie/ i'm coming out
mood :: sneak-ay.
clad :: i won't say.
beautiful/crazy isn't on hiatus. it's just that i'm having problems with my ISP again.
right now, i'm unauthorizedly using Vibe because i've been missing you all so damn much. (o: hehe..
so what's been up? the other day, i was scheduled for a college app interview but i didn't show up and i forfeited my slot. i couldn't care less. it was only for my second choice. (even if it was, they still required me to show up for an interview) and i had really incomplete requirements.
later on, i learned that out of the 600 people who passed COM-Accountancy, only about 250 showed up for the interview. now those who got waitlisted should be all jubilant for they can just saunter in and take up the course without an interview.
do i have any regrets? kinda. that's where the money comes in, you know. because people usually sue their accountants and the perfect lawyer to hire would be someone who had studied accountancy as well.
i can always shift courses if i realize that AB Legal Management isn't for me.
i definitely need to wake up and smell the coffee. i'm beginning to doubt whether taking up Law would be a right choice. get this: it was my dad's decision right from the beginning and i'm not exactly sure whether i've learned to love the idea, or i've succumbed to peer pressure (err.. my dad's constant prodding, that is).
tee had always told me that if i can imagine myself doing something else rather than that, then i should do whatever that was.
that was one great advice, and i've always repeated that to myself.
