una sa lahat...

Manigong Bagong Taon sa ating lahat!

ang tala-arawan na ito ay humigit dalawang taon na. kaya't hayaan ninyo ako muling mag pakilala.

E-eherm!

Maari ninyo po akong tawagin na "micchie" or "Eiri-sama" kung gusto niyong superior ang dating, pwede ring "Yuki" para kyut. ^^

Ako'y isang batang nag-nanais na maging isang magaling na manununlat at tinatahak ang karera, na minsan ay kumakaliwa sa mga eksperimentong sining tulad ng pagkuha ng larawan at pag-iisip ng konsepto, minsan din ay baguhang animator at mas madalas na mahilig lang sa mga komento.

Sa lahat ng mga tumatangkilik, maraming SALAMAT!

damn colds and coughs are at it again.
it's two freagin days before school starts again, and i'm sick!
wow.
thanks so much.
this makes my life waaaaaaaaaaaaaayy easier.

amp.

anyway, me and nico went to Quiapo today to buy his MP3 player and do some DVD shopping along the way, ne? Okay, i don't want to discuss about Nico's new gadget, it's making me hate Market Market.
Sarap pasabugin....

What I bought:

Price of Tennis DVD eps. 1-60
City Hunter : Bayside action
Ethan Mao
Memoirs of A Geisha
Beautiful Boxer
Mambo Italiano
Lovely Rivals
April Snow

I noticed I'm getting quite addicted to Korean movies...hmm...i have usual cravings for them, is that a sign of addiction?

I wanted to watch Memoirs of A Geisha and Beautiful Boxer in the cinemas, and still planning to, but I do want my own copy anyway. Beautiful Boxer looks promising, and i'm not saying this only because he's gay and i'm being clearly bias, no, it's because of the story of the legend itself. Mind you, he's well respected in Thailand, and the actor who played him is cute! so the character is thus, BEAUTIFUL.

The Prince of Tennis DVD is a gift from above! I really want the anime, but the series is TOO LONG and TOO COSTLY to buy in VCD. The subtitle is sort of slow for the voice of the character but i can live with that. I'm a struggling otaku, i have to stick to practical means of feeding my collection.

okay, that's that.
*sniff*

the title couldn't be bolder.

if you know me, you know i'm an anime fan.
if you've read my previous post, you know what anime i'll be mentioning later.
if i'm annoying you now, i'll start in fan-girl mode.

*sigh*
promise, this will be really quick. ^.~

HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~!!!!
*lablabllablablablablablabalab*

TENNIS NO OUJISAMA.... *sigh*

I'm in my 13th episode now... i want to watch in na... really... Ryouma-kun is so cute! Momo-chan too! Awwww.... And Tezuka-sempai sure has the serious/cool/greatness aura in him.... talk about bishiness, ne?

I want more Prince of Tennis sites that will offer galleries and media and doujinshi!!! lots of em! I'm downloading several now! mahahahahahaa!!!!

okay, this is just an update post. you could ignore this.
ja ne~~~

I know i'm a big fat liar, but this is true.

my one and only true and shall-be-done-at-any-cost resolution, is to focus on my study.

Yes, yes, that's your good'ol micchie talking.
No kidding.
Want an example?
Sure. Here's one.

This morning, I studied like hell for our Philippine Literature quiz. Well, okay, that maybe a little exaggerating, but I did study. I read, understood and memorized whatthehellever I could that may help in the exam.

Hehe...
Guess what...?

The exam was 10 items long, half of it BONUS. I could pass the damn thing without exerting any effort! Grrrr...

So now what's up with my so called "studying"?
Well, currently trying my best not to download mangas and get addicted to Tenipuri. Reading Plato's "The Republic". The documentation reading assignment in English. Researching for Am Lit... reading Article II of PGC...

See now? Aren't I a good student?
*sinister laugh*

My cough that is.
Really, this freagin disease is embarrassing me.
It's almost a week now I think.
I want this gone tomorrow.
Onegai...
Specially that I just discovered that the cough attacks usually when I'm in a place with airconditioning.
Grrrr...

The best thing for me to do right now is rest but instead, I'm here in a computer shop, downloading korean albums and manga! ha!

o well, so much for a crappy post.
I'll stop here.

*coughcough*
damnit!

I didn't know that a seemingly innocent sweet little mango can trigger coughs. I thought I was going to throw up coughing so harshly.But...all is well now! I think I'm fully healed.

Huwaaa... prelims again. Starting this 16th, we'd be drooling alot of drools falling asleep unnoticed while studying for exams! argh! I've really got to focus. My premonition of failing and attending summer classes just might be granted through my performance. 1st sem was easy. The proffessors were ALOT nicer, and ALOT loose and fun. Now, *sigh* I don't want to think about them... serious, sadists, strict and gyaaaaaaaaa booooring. Well, not all of them, but mostly. The first exam is always the major, AMLIT. this has got to be the most boring of them all. I like Ms. Pereña, but her way of teaching is unexplainably boring. boring. boring. boring. But I'll study. I'll study hard with the help of my boosters, my yaoi collection. Mwahahah!!! I just organized them this afternoon and transfered them to cds so my pc is working a lot faster than the last time.

I'll surely change this layout after prelims. It's not a full evolution, maybe some changes in color, more links, external profile and a
banner. Oh yeah! background pic and the avatars! uhn! I'll fix all of them! promise!

Huwaaa...got to go now. I SHOULD do my reviewer now, else I'll be roasted alive by my mom when I fail this exam. eeek!

Nakakita ka na ba ng batang nagdadasal?
Yung hindi lang basta pag-yuko at pagsa-sign of the cross...
Kundi isang pagmata sa isang inosenteng nilalang, na nakahawak sa paanan ng imahe ng Diyos, naka-yuko at tuwinang tumitingin sa mukha ng anak na nag-alay ng buhay para sa atin.

Sa pagtingin ko sa batang iyon, sumagi sa aking isip, ano kaya ang kanyang hiniling? Sa musmos niyang iyon, bakit tila napaka-taimtim ng dasal niya?

Nakaramdam ako ng...inggit.
Inggit na kung bakit ang isang bata ay kayang mag-alay ng isang malalim na dasal na maaring para sa kanyang mga mahal sa buhay, o sa kaligtasan ng isa niyang kalaro, o humihingi lang ng patnubay at pasasalamat.

Bakit ako...hindi ganoon?

Naaalala ko, kung ano ang pakiramdam ng isang taong nasailalim ng isang relihiyon at gumawa ng ganoong dasal. Kinausap mo ang Diyos, at kayong dalawa lang. Bakit ngayon, hindi ko na siya maramdaman...

Natapos ang pagdadasal ng bata. Humakbang siya palikod, at tanaw pa rin ang mukha ni Hesus na naka-pako sa krus. At doon niya tinapos ang dasal, sa isang malaya at nakangiting pagsa-sangalan ng ama, ng anak at ng espiritu santo...

Nahawa yata ako, at humanga pa lalo.

Mula sa aking kinauupuan, naririnig ko ang pari na nagsesermon ng Salita ng Diyos. Naisip ko tuloy kung kailan nga ba ako huling nakinig doon? Kung may natutunan man ako, o talagang namimili lang ako ng taga-kwento. Tumingala ako at bumukad sa akin ang kalawakan ng kisame ng simbahan. Napansin ko na rin tuloy na napaka-liit ko sa isang malaking lugar na iyon, at isa lang rin ako sa mga ipokritong nagsisimba dahil ito ay kailangan, hindi dahil gusto mo, at kailangan mo. Sa mga sandaling iyon, kinewestiyon ko na kung naniniwala pa ba ako sa relihiyon.

Pagano ba ako?
Hinde?
Anti-christ?
Di naman.
Satanista?
Mas lalong hinde.
E ano?
Malay ko?

Sa labing-pitong taon na namuhay ako at namulat sa mundo, hindi ko pa rin pala kilala ang sarili ko. Nakakalungkot man isipin, mas madaming bagay pa rin ang alangan tayo kaysa sigurado. Minsan sumasalalay nalang tayo sa sinasabi ng iba.

Marahil ay dadating din ang panahon na makikilala ko kung sino ba talaga ako. Marami pang mangyayari sa akin. May bukas pa naman siguro ako. Hindi naman siguro ako mamamatay ng maaga. Bahala na... ang mahalaga, may pananampalatay ka pa rin sa Kanya, at andiyan ang pag-asa mong may-bukas pa.

Boy did that coffee last night gave me a rush or what!
Usually, when I drink coffee for my usual failed-attemps-study-session, the caffeine does nothing but get in my blood, circulate and nothing more! No effect, in short. But sometimes, that chemical works wonders. And I'm amazed at the results it causes my body and my attitude. My addrenaline rushed to me like crazy!

This morning, my first exam for the 2nd sem prelims would start. It's a major subject so I have to do good in it. Last night was a failed attempt to study again, so I went my merry way into the heavenly seductions of sleep. I alarmed my cellphone to 3:00 A.M to get a head-start. It was only 2:57 A.M, but I was awake as an owl already.

Of course, would I resort to studying immediately? Hell no! I watched Tenipuri for an hour THEN studied what I could squeez in my narrow mind in a matter of time that I have left.

The jeepney trip was fun and Mao noticed how my mouth works so differently toay. I was laughing so much and my speed was 2000 words pero second. wooah! I'm suprised myself, but unforunately, I can't stop the rush and it continued up to class. They noticed it too, but understood the effect of caffeine is much too strong to fight, so leave it be to the victim to subside later.

Later, Chesks, K-Ann, Akie and I went to KFC to eat lunch then I went to McDo at España later to meet Mao. We went to Megamall to watch one of the greatest film this year, Beautiful Boxer.

Click HERE for the super crappy movie review. please bless me with your mercy, it's been so long since i've written one and I wasn't able to express my true feelings towards the movie. but I hope it does help.
^^V

okay! more caffeine for me and things to do like study! woohoo!

or maybe I can just sleep...

ne?

That witch!
Why the hell…?! Argh!!!

*sigh*

I’m fine.
Fine. Fine. Fine.
Hmm…

It’s my first siesta for this year this afternoon, but the feeling wasn’t at all relaxing.
I woke up at 6, (slept at 2), missed watching Naruto, and woke up with a sore body and throat. The throat hurting is still oblivious to me. Now I feel sick or to be specific I feel drunk. And I have History and PGC exams tomorrow.

Grrrreaaaat…

Oh yeah, still with the Beautiful Boxer hang-over, here are 3 lines from the movie that made me so impressed with the script and Toom’s story.

Note: Not the exact words as spoken by Nong Toom. I apologize for that. I have this huge problem with memory gaps and I wrote it down after watching the movie, relying on my not-so-reliable memory.

”Being a man is hard; being a woman is hard; but it is harder trying not to forget who you really want to be.”

This was the reply Toom gave to Jack (the reporter) at the end of the film when he asked which was harder, to be a man or a woman. (is this right?) I think Toom’s answer waved an emotion of sadness. To be judged by many but still striving hard to fulfill your dream. An answer to be given after going through a lot of sacrifices.

“I cannot live until I die at this body.”

This was the explanation I was seeking all along about his paradox of fighting fiercely as a man to become a woman. He ventured muay thai to earn money for his family and his dream of achieving a physical body of a woman. Inside, Toom believed his soul is trapped inside the wrong body, and the only way for him to be really happy, or from his line, “to live” is to achieve femininity totally.

“When I do that, the media loves it. They don’t know, that I kiss to say sorry for I don’t like to hurt strangers. But inside the ring, we are left with no choice.”

This quote is part of Toom’s narration to Jack. Because Toom was accepted as a transvestite boxer, him wearing make-up and being timid when he’s not kicking, one of his rituals was to kiss his opponent on the cheeks as his way of apologizing. I think this line explained it enough to capture his inner struggle of living through the violence of the sport, because it is needed, not wanted.

I really suggest watching this film! Maji, maji, maji na…

Last na! Ahaha! I really love Asanee Suwan’s 6-pack abs, his masculine body which helped a lot to portray such a living paradox to Parinya Charoenphol story. And his face is a beauty! You can easily distinguish beautiful faces when a guy turned to a girl is pretty, or a girl tuned to a guy is handsome! Mwahahaha!!!!

I'll leave you with some photos now. Ja~

Diba ang ganda ng katawan nya? XD


The real boxer and the "reel" boxer. Both beautiful people! Toom and Suwan were both from Chiangmai province and both started muay thai at age 12 to help their family. Huwaa... perfect.


Nong Toom from his debut as a muay thai boxer to a female model and actress. If you watch the movie, there's a scene so much like this pic. She had her sex change in 1999 and since then stopped boxing for females wasn't allowed to do Muay Thai.


Bagay ba? (Nong Toom and Asanee Suwan)

*grin*

YATTA~!

Prelims is over. *sigh* I'm feeling relieved after all the grueling early mornings and dosage of caffeine I had to take just so I can concentrate on my, eherm, exams. I think I did ALOT better this sem than the last. So I am very, proud!

Err...exept for my History subject, such a waste...tsk! tsk~

After the exams, me and my classmates went to San Lazaro to eat. After eating, I withdrew some money because I'll be going to Quiapo later on, so I may be doing some kaching today. And I really want my precious player back to it's original form.

Why? Well, the glass is pathetically broken and the USB port is having a major error. Oh my god... i could feel my 3k fly away without doing me justice. I must fix this!

Oh yeah, I bought a new purse and some pins at the really cool slash kawaii store at San Lazaro. I think it's called Coolmax. The lady assisting me said that the branch they have in San Lazaro is the first in the country. So of course, your lola was proud! The purse that I bought, I liked it so much I didn't notice how expensive it was until I was giving my money to pay for it. 149.75 php is costly... Anyways I like the color and the crosses...coolness... I want the whole store to myself!!!! Huwaaa!!!! XD

Micchie! Restrain yourself! Wala ka nang pera!. Nooo... I swear, I had the money and my last nerve kept me from buying those super cool items...ooookay....going back....

Upon my exit from the new found Utopia, I saw the HP council. Exchange the usual jokes and stuffs, the kulitan, then I went my merry way with Marie and Clara to school. Oh yeah, which reminds me. Drivers are greedy jerks. You ask nice and friendly if you're not being your stupid self and taking the wrong route, they reply: "Oo, dito lang mga miss" then when you finally ask where you are after a few minutes of deport, you muse yourself why ever had you believe such a jerk. In short, tangnanyasannyakamibinabaha?!. I knew it was better to walk. Good exercise and sure way. *sigh*

We parted ways at the library for I wanted to use the free net. This was the time I first posted this entry but then Mao texted me and we met inside the CFAD Gallery.

The theme of the gallery was "Suicide", am I right? Contrary to what I painted in my head, the art works weren't grotesque or bloody or dark (literary), but they were sort of psychotic. The use of child's toy as a tool to present the message and the visual work, was, well...creepy. But I like creepiness...and those sort of art. Sad thing oniichan borrowed my digicam, I could've posted some of the works here. Hmmm... I could always ask Nel to do me the favor.

Since my AD1-10 tomodachis has just been dismissed, they haven't eaten so we went to Greenich to eat. After eating, the gang decided to come with me to Quiapo, so it was really a fun trip. I've never had so much company in one day, which explains why the hell I'm so freagin tired now.

I was suppose to return my defective DVDs, but it seems that Quiapo was all peace today. There's some sort of gathering by the church so there were alot of officials. Pirates / by Police = 0. Those who owns a place inside a building were the only lucky ones to conduct their business. Lucky for us because we were on the hunt for anime cds!
Akie asked me to buy her an EVANGELION series and I wanted to buy my TOKYO BABYLON and Tenipuri Special. Unfortunately, the Tokyo Babylon ran out of stock. I had to plea for a special copy from the ate just to assure myself there will be a next time and I will attain my copy. Just then, I spotted GENSHIKEN and bought it. That anime have always intrigued me. An anime series about otakus... hmmm... densho otoko, ne? There are several volumes out by AMP, but that's too costly. GENSHIKEN manga is out of my priority as of the moment. Then, I was seriously pleading for Mewwy to buy the LOVELESS since she is a yaoi fan too, but then bespren MAO came to the rescue and bought it for me!

MAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I LAB YU! DOMO ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA! Libre kita sa Tuesday!

Huwaaa... now I really, really, really, really want a new TV. I don't care where they put it, just give me one for my own and for the sake of my collection. Damn it! I'm itching to do my marathon! I have ALOT to watch here... Since my mom's retirement, she's been dominating my TV time every afternoon. After 13 years, I have to get used to this thing again.... T_T

*yawn*
I'll be doozing off now.
Today is really tiring. Super.
I'll update the Mistula tomorrow.

Oyasumi minna...

Yes, another of my random posts.
Expect a lot of line breaks.
Yosh! Ikuso!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*coughcoughcough*

This darn cough is still here! Namaos na nga ako di pa rin nawawala! But I got to admit. I like it like this. I dunno, I find my voice so cute like this. Friday morning I noticed my voice is not sounding normal, I was sort of squeaking at a point then my voice trail suddenly disappears. It’s so cute! Nyahahaha!!! I like it so much it got me quite energetic for the whole day. Well, the voice is cute and all, but the feeling isn’t all that great. So of course, I’d rather loose this then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Breathless…so intense, it takes your breath away…

…

Mwahahahaha!!!!! Mwahahaha!!! Nyahahaha… shit that cracks me up! XD
It sounds like one of those mushy-twitchy-shivery lines that give me Goosebumps! It’s even funnier to hear this from a spell caster! Come’ on! Aren’t spells supposed to be cool? Why the hell does it have to be like that? Okay, that’s their name, but isn’t “I’ll punish you in the name of the moon” more appropriate against an enemy? Mwahahaha!!! Fine, fine, I’ll stop. By the way, that’s from the anime Loveless, my new yaoi series. Gosh…so many nosebleeds… I could feel the blood rush every time I think about Soubi and Ritsuka…*sigh* okay, I’m sounding like a perv here, but those two are just to sexy with each other, although the two of them together looks like a shotacon pairing, than the normal yaoi. Soubi is too tall for Ritsuka, but they’re cute. But I swear, I want to kill that girl who likes Ritsuka. She’s too pushy, she’s too noisy, and she’s not suited for him! Even the guy who likes her, Yaioyi (tama ba?) has a prettier face than her! Gyaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! She’s so irritating! Why the hell does she have to be included in the anime anyway! It’s a yaoi anime! There’s no need for a girl! Just fill the darn thing with gays! We’ll be much much happier!

Mao! Tapusin na natin sa Tuesday! Puteek! Excited nako! Woohoooo!!! Gusto ko na rin pabutas ng tenga! Mwaahahaa!!! Pwede kaya kay Ritsuka? O kay Soubi nalang? Mwhihihihi…. ^.~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me, oniichan and mamoy watched Underworld yesterday, and I have to say this, KATE BECKINSALE IS SOOOOOOO COOL!!! XD XD XD The Seline character was playes so well! And her looks, oh gosh, the looks! The tight leather suit, the jacket, the gun shooting, the eyes, the body, her stare… kampeki na! Marcus reminds me of one of the monsters in House of the Dead, with the bat wings and flying at that unlike Batman! Cool, cool. I don’t remember encountering so much blood in the first movie, but this sequel spurts blood like crazy! So much red! I really like this movie, although I love the conflict in the first one better. The camera angles have a tendency to make viewers dizzy for it moves too much and switch scenes too fast. And Kate Beckinsale is cool with her double shooting technique (she reminds me of Dante from Devil May Cry minus the slashing) but her man-to-man combat sucks. I remember her doing it only once against Marcus at the end of the movie, but it wasn’t at all convincing. More practice then? Or she could just stick with the guns. Let Michael do the ripping of fleshes. I miss the gothic setting in this movie. In the first film, the mansion, even the other vampires were elegant in their gothic fashion. This is one of the elements of Underworld that attracted me to it. Hmmm… you think it will have a third installment? Seline’s narration at the end seemed like it will. Banzai!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was watching Underworld, I just noticed that when I’m watching a movie in the cinema, you get so focused on the movie; you forgot your own reality. It’s like you don’t exist, but you play as god in that film, watching everything that’s happening with your characters. I guess that’s the magic then. It’s just annoying that in a snap you could realize this and suddenly I don’t even know where to look in the screen. To the right? To the left? To the person beside me? What the hell happened? This occurs to me most of the time, and it’s really annoying.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations to Manny Paquiao for giving prestige to the country once again! I have to admit, I wasn’t that confident for Pacman. It was a rematch, he lost the first time, and he could lose again, and face the fact that Eric Morales is just much stronger than he is. With so much exposure and talks about the fight, the pressure must’ve been heavy for him. But I guess he’s used to it. It comes with his career. If Paquiao lost, it will be really embarrassing not only for him, but for the whole country.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MOTTO~ MOTTO DE!!!

No, that’s not Gackt, that’s me! More Tenipuri please! I just finished episode 55-60 and the special of the anime this morning. X( Biteeeeeennnnnnnnnn!!!!! I wish the Quiapo people would follow up on the rest of the episodes, or i’ll be forced to buy the rest of the series elsewhere. It left me hanging with Kawamura fighting in the singles against that monster from Hyoutei! Argh! I’ll miss the guys! T_T

TE-NI-PU-RI! TE-NI-PU-RI~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Tenipuri, I watched Cheats which Miguchi lend me weeks ago. O yan ha! Pinanood ko na! Well, I like the movie. I enjoyed it rather. The character of Handsome is so laid-back it’s cool. He’s rare. And so witty at that. But I guess the moral of the story awakens the meaning of the saying “Honesty is the best policy.” They did have through cheating at school, but risking your friendship for an A, is it really worth it? See? Good movie.

At the scene where Handsome was being scolded by their principal, a thought came to me. When adults starts saying:

“When I was your age, I also cheated. I curse my teachers. I hated school. I sleep in class. Just like you.”

Then you say: “Really? Cool.” And you just smile away.

But when they start it this way:

“When I was your age, I was the top of the class. I was student leader. I got As. The teachers love me. I was an honor, blah, blah, blah….”

And the finishing lines…

“YOU SHOULD BE LIKE THAT TOO.”

Sucks, huh?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I promised that I’ll give some information about this band Mistula right? Well, let me tell you what I know of them so far.

Mistula is a doll band, yes, more specifically “dollfies”, with members Uno as vocalist and bassist, Manx Minuet as lead guitarist, Bella Lugosi as drummer and Dragan as rythm guitarist. They are an internet band and so all their works are released in ther official site, http://www.mistula.com.

photos courtesy of mistula.com

I haven’t heard any of their songs yet, but >Mao said that they have deep lyrics, poetical and gothic in sound. Also, like the band Gorillaz, they don’t show themselves but represent their image and profiles with beautiful dollfies. They’re gorgeous aren’t they? Since they are internet-based, they have gathered quite a number of followers all around the globe, especially in UK, where they are getting much attention now. As of now, that’s the only information I can share. After the rise of pinoy rock, I guess Mistula will join the rock scene along with the others upon the release of their music video, “Mulat” in MYX so please watch out for it.

And let’s support them, ne?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*sigh*
Such a long post again.
Hara heta!
Ja~byebye~!

I don't like assignments that give my head a good spin. Those kinds of writing activities that reminds me that I don't have enough creativity in my head and that without the help of others will leave my head spurting with blood, instead of creative juices. Like our Research assignment. Who would've though formulating survey questions eats time and energy? Seems easy? It seemed to me before! Not now. I'll start respecting the jobs of surveyists (is there such term?) for I know... we know how hard the freagin thing is.

I don't like smokers.

Specially when the smoke they emit goes directly to my face, then to my lungs, giving my life a deadline even before I make it my own. Spare me the nicotine, folks. I have enough pollution to handle and inhale everyday from Manila, don't push it. I'm suddenly ranting now about them because of this fatty that was infront of me in the jeep on my way home. I never encountered a person smoking inside a jeep, but noooo, she has to be a non-conformist and puff that yucky smoke in the air. She's not even thinking if the person behind her is inhaling it, damn it! You know how the smell of smokes tend to stick in your things? Just from that, it's making my blood boil.

Speaking of dirty smokes, let's make you Manila students quite paranoid, ne?

Commuting in Manila, specifically the route in Taft to Quiapo onwards can develop Tuberculosis in you. To justify this, a friend of mine takes the FX to Taft from FEU to prevent inhaling too much smoke from busses and bastard jeepneys that have smokes blacker than their asses. Her father developed the illness from traveling there everyday. Hmmm... this means I could end up dead even before I graduate. That sucks. Geez... I now see FXs in a new light. I should consider their services.

I had no choice but to face away from that fatty who smokes if I want a longer life. Just then, I saw a batchmate of mine. I don't clearly remember if she's from elementary or highschool. I can't even remember her name! Yes, I know I'm a bad person, but she smiled, I smiled. We greeted each other like friends, and that's all that matters, right? Right. Frankly speaking, I don't like meeting one of my friends along the way. Because I have to smile, and greet and even formulate a simple conversation, or I can just ignore them, but that would make me a snob, but I am not a snob so I won't snob them. It's this simple things that makes life quite difficult. However, I hope people don't mistake me. I still like meeting my friends, just not suddenly and we have to bid goodbye immediately. That's sad.

Last but not the least. I HATE kanto guys or ugly men staring at me from construction trucks and flashing their stupid malicious smile at me. I HATE them. What the hell are their problem? Can't they just do their business and let me walk in peace? Grrrr... and especially when they start with: "Hi miss..." Putanginakadire!

Mwahahahaha!!!! For the first time, i felt soooooo VIP.

Why?

Well, we got to interview two people from the House of Representatives (which I shall soon aquire infos, don't worry) and Mark Mailey, yes, Crying Ladies' director.

Of course, you're going to ask me how?

How? Through CONNECTIONS. One of my classmate's dad is a Chief Councilor from the House of Rep, then Leo have once interviewed Mark Mailey with his classmates, so the big guy knows him by now.

What's it for?

The interview for the members of the House of Rep was for our PGC project. We are covering informations about Article III, Sec. 19, which is Capital Punishment or Death Penalty. Later on, we're going to edit it to a documentary, complete with some serial killings that a groupmate of mine thought which I think is really not necessary. So of course, we cannot relly on the book alone, we have to ask a person of authority and knows the constitution well.

The interview with Mark Mailey was for Leo and his partner's research in English. Their topic is Digital films.

What happend?

At the House of Rep, after eating merienda and waiting for quite a while, the interview was conducted and we said our thanks. Pack up
and was given a free tour around the session room. We were able to sit at the free seats offered for public viewing, take some pics, learn that the "Men in Pink" are called "Pagers" that serves as messengers for the public to a member, or a member to a member. We also were allowed to step at the side of the room, which was a "member-only" zone, and get to see Dudot Jaworski, get strucked at the discovery of how mistiso and gwapo he is. Unfortunatelly, I was too shy to pose a picture with him. My next goal is to work on that.

The interview with Mark Mailey was unplanned---for me. Leo mentioned it days ago, but I actually refused to go with them. Even until the last minute, I wasn't intending to go, until they told me that the venue will be on Makati, and I planned to ask them to drop me off
somewhere I can ride a jeep or a bus home immediately. You can say I got quite hyped on the way with my classmates, and Leo's
forgetfull of things, he lack so much tools for the interview, so as one of my closest friend in class, I felt the need to take care of him. So there we were, luckily Leo and I was able to find a blanc cassete tape, batteries and, an appropiate tocken of appreciation gift for such a person.

Upon meeting him I had to smile, well, he's as chubby as us! Haha! Cute, cute. But, when he started to talk, I knew, he was good. He elaborates his answers well, but not to the point that it's senseless and boring, it was persuasive and convincing. Some of the answers even felt good for us Lit students, since he said:

"It's the story that makes a good film."

Indeed.

Isn't that pertaining to us, writers', job? Of course, not only the story, the directing and then the rest. I have to admit I was not a fan of the director, but after hearing his insights on things, I have to admire the man. Smart and sensitive guys are the coolest.

Here are the pics at the House of Representatives, I wasn't able to bring my Digicam at the interview with Mark Mailey, since it was unplanned for me. I'll edit this part as soon as I get the picture from Joanna.

Is this enough proof?


We were allowed at the "Member's only" zone! See, i told you we're VIPs!


Wider view at the session room (tama ba uli ang tawag dito?)


I like the ceiling.



Student's at work slash field reporters.

Gosh, the format feels like an interview too.

if i'm not mistaken, Hideto Takarai a.k.a HYDE is now...38? 37! Gosh, I know, I'm so sorry, i've been so out of jrock for so long, specially Laruku (again, super gomen~~~ T_T), that I forgot how old the uber sexy, ever charming, sometimes kawaii but cunningly seductive voice of L'Arc~en~Ciel.

I wish I can make a tribute for him, but am too tired. I'll give you a gift later, ne, Hydo-kun?

uhn! Belated Otanjoubi Omedetou~ (January 29)

Just some pics of Hyde! For those who doesn't know him and his music, the least you can do is worship that pretty face!


One of the earlier pics I saw of Laruku and him *swoons* ang sekshi...


From the video of his single HELLO. wa kayu, naka eyeliner, eyeshadow at foundation ang lola mo dyan! taray!


Do I need to say more? Well, he looks like a slut---in this pic, but he's not. He maybe at fangirls' fantasy, pairing him up with Tetchan, Sakure and even, eherm, Ken, eherm! He has a kid already, give it up ladies...

the title is so simple, tse.

I feel like my head is cracking. I'm so prone to diseases, so even if I tire myself just a little, a cold, cough or headache would develop somehow.

Our practice game for our PE today was fun. I'm also glad I got closer to my classmates this way. At first, we were clueless of what to do, when a classmate suggested we ask one of the resident players around the sports complex we were playing to teach us the basics of playing the game. While the others were busy attending for help, I started my own play, or let's say, warm-up. I snatched the ball and let the others follow my lead. Okay, I know I'm being too full of myself, but I had to do what I had to do, I needed these girls to loosen-up and enjoy themselves with the game. So there, until the experienced souls came to our rescue, who were coincidentally a schoolmate of ours, and saved us from embarassing ourselves for the coming game this Thursday.

It was damn tiring, but fun. Real, good fun. If only I wasn't so out of breath and my sides aching, I would've continue. So here now, I'm twitching my eyebrows, trying to fight the pain in my head. Goodness gracious, just when you need it, there's no medicine availble. I'll relly on the sleeping to do the job.
