Waah! I miss my blog. I miss writing here. I've been quite busy these past few days.

So, what did happen to me?

February 20, 2004, Friday - PROM
My dress was not yet finished so I went to Quiapo (dun kasi pinagawa yung damit) and waited for my dress to get done. After that, off to parlor and to school. By the way, I also went to PLM and acquired an application form.

Anyway, as expected only a few peeps came at the appointed time. Imagine, 3 o'clock. Are they nuts? That's way too early. Well, we arrived past 4. The castle thing did not work (No offense!). But, I really appreciate their effort to make the school a beautiful place.

I can not compare last year's prom to this year's prom because last year's prom was of different "genre" from this year's prom (Genre daw eh). Last year was like mellow, sweet, traditional. This year was "alternative", unique, different. Get it? But this year's prom was not a waste of time. It was good. I really had a great time. We all did (I think?).

Prom's worst
1. Assembly time - i told you. are you nuts? 3 o'clock...
2. Tables and Chairs - pinahihirapan niyo ang sarili niyo... kung ginaya niyo ba yung ginawa namin last year...
3. Music - konti slong songs pero maganda yung choice of music except Regine... hindi bagay si regine sa prom
4. Dance floor - sobrang liit...
5. Castle Thingies - it didn't work

Prom's best
1. Food - i like the carbonara
2. Music - ganda nung ibang music
3. Band - this was the highlight of the prom... this is the "event"...
4. drummer of the band - gwapo!
5. DJ - ganda ng boses! soobra...
6. Pictures sa lobby - this was sooo nice... kaya lang wala pa akong copy...
7. the BAND again!

haayy...

Sleep all day!
Watched Gilmore Girls(Studio 23), Unfaithful (Star Movies).

February 22, 2004, Sunday
Went to church.
Sleep again!

February 23, 2004, Monday
This day... This day made me realize that I have a lot of things to do. Why is it that Mascians never seem to get some time to rest from school work? Argh... Parang gusto ko nang mag-summer.

Lord, help me.

today's prom day! i hope tonight'll be fun.

Thursday, February 19, 2004

tomorrow's prom night... i'm excited because of my new shoes... hehe... cute niya eh... dun lang ako na-excite... tsaka hindi ko masyadong ma-appreciate yung castle-castle-an chu chu nila... pero i appreciate their effort na talagang talbugan yung prom last year na spinonsor ng aming batch... gusto ko yung invitations... very creative and practical (invitation and giveaway in one)... unlike last year, hindi ko ma-appreciate yung invitation (no offense sa mga gumawa) tsaka yung giveaway (which i lost... tsk tsk - sayang!) hindi lahat na bigyan... may kilala ako na hindi nabigyan...

anyway, nag-halfday ako ngayon... tech eng ang na-attendan ko... and as usual test na naman... si mamu hindi na nagsawa sa kabibigay ng test... routine na nga siya eh: report, test, report, test... nag-practice ng prom... argh... na-aasar ako... sana parang katulad last year na lang yung arrangements... yung roentgen girls magkakalapit ng seats... kasi ngayon... hiwalay eh... hindi ko ganoon ka gusto (well, its the third year's prom) today... hmm... nagpa-class pic na din kami... first time kong mapunta sa harapan ng class pic... usually kasi nasa likod ako dahil ako'y matangkad pero ngayon ako ay nasa gitna at naka-upo dahil class officer ako... andoon si horsie... ay maam herson pala (joke joke joke!)... si maam felix at si nanay... ayun... wala si aimee sa class pic kasi umuwi na siya... too bad... matapos ang practice, lumabas na ang mga balita... the dreaded UPCAT results (if you want to put it that way)... may mga pumasa... hindi pumasa... ako hindi ko alam pero pumunta ako up manila... tpos biglang sabi sa 'kin ni tim..."oi krystle pasado ka!" sabi ko "wag ka ngang manloko" at yun nakita ko na nga at dininig ng DIYOS ang aking panalangin... I passed UP (to put it bluntly)... at ang dami kong gustong pasalamatan sa achievement ko na ito... i'm happy but not completely... i know how the others feel... its hard... i felt the same thing when i failed USTET... masakit sa ego, pride, sa lahat... pero kagaya nga ng sinabi sa akin nung hindi ako pumasa sa USTET "God has a better plan" "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you..." --Jer.29:11.... my advice: cry it all... then accept... then believe and have faith...

LORD, thank you very much for everything...

I’m now in a situation where I’m confused whether I should be feeling what is right or I should be thinking about what is right. (Tama ba yung sentence?)

There are a lot of people who are ‘torn’ between their jobs and their feelings. Their job has a set of rules. It follows a standard. You follow those rules because that is what their duty calls for. But what happens if fate decided to give you something (I don't know what word to use...) that would make your life turn around? What would happen if you are faced with the great challenge to use your heart or to use your mind? What would you choose?

Something came up. Some things came up. You know exactly what to do. That is what everybody says. You even agree that what you are about to do is right. But, something inside you tells you to stop. "That's not the right thing." You began to think. You doubt yourself. "Is it the right thing to do?" Now your mind is getting confused. Suddenly, everything that was clear to you became blurry. You are now clouded. Your judgment has been shadowed by a voice within. You ponder. Hard. Night and day. Day and night. You pray that somebody would give you the answers but to no avail. You search for the answers. And when you think that you finally found the answers, you find out that you made the wrong decision. Yes, you learned from it. But if you had chosen to use your brain you wouldn't have gone through this. Or maybe, if you had chosen to use your heart everything would turn out to be the way you wanted it to be.

If only I had...

I know that life is not perfect. There are problems, temptations, decisions that make it worth living. That makes us live life. That makes us love living our life. But how do you know what to use in making decisions?

I've been reading Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and The Pendulum and The Cask of Amontillado. I need to finish these two for English... I'm not fond of reading short stories especially short stories with a lot of complicated words... Sheesh... I wrote down the words which I didn't understand and looked for their meanings. Feels like a gradeschooler...

I'm still not feeling well... I have fever... Argh...

I'm still absent today. I'm not feeling well. We'll be going to the doctor today... Sheesh...

TIRED

There are a lot of things that has been running through my mind. I don't know where to start. School work, family, religion, friends and of course myself. Okay, cross that out. It should be religion, school work, family, friends and myself. These things are important to me (and there are a lot more which are not mentioned here...) but, like you, I don't know which things should top my priority list.

I am God-fearing. I love God. I am a Christian. I believe in Him. But eventhough I know that I love Him that much sometimes it doesn't show. What I mean is that I don't act like a true Christian (Here I go again...). I am sure aout my faith (I think...) but sometimes there are things that make me falter as a son of God. To know more about God should be top in my priority list because he's our Father but sometimes, He being on top just doesn't work for me... There are a lot of things to consider. There are a lot of God-related responsibilities but these are not all the responsibilities that I have and will have. Like my responsibilities in school...

Again, school should be number 1 in my list. I should be doing well in school. I should excel. Yes, I accept that fact that my brain is fit only for the Roentgen peeps but somehow I should exert more effort. I study but not really that kind of studying. You know what I mean? I know I could do more than what I am doing right now. I know I could be better but sometimes a lot of things hinder me to become a better student. There's the 'fear' of being tagged as GC. Yes, I know that I am grade conscious but please don't use that against me. If I comply with the requirements that's because I know that I should... but if you don't have your requirements-- please, don't take that against me. You're just lazy (Don't worry I am, too, but I know when to be lazy). Although, sometimes I forget when to be...

Next, my family. I love my family. I love them more each day. They make me feel the ground. They are my connection to reality. They make me see reality. They should be my number 1 because of those things and because of the simple reason that we are a family. Kapamilya. Sabay sa lahat ng bagay. Hindi nila ako iiwan. So, what's the point in making them #2 or #3 or perhaps, last in my list if they would never leave me? Security. Why should I risk my time with things that would give me nothing when I can invest it here with my family? Although, salvation is only achieved with God and a good life can be achieved with good education, etc. The question: What is more important?

My friends... They are also my world. They actually give me a new world. I can be the real me or I can be another person. I can be this and that with them. And they accept me. Although, no one can really assure how long and how strong will the friendship be but its enough that you have someone to lean on... But, are friends only 'for the mean time'?

In the movies, when a man leaves a woman and the woman is really heartbroken, she would say "I should have loved myself more than giving all my love for you (or something to that effect)." I should love myself. Actually, I love myself, I just don't know how. I should buy this. I should buy that. I should have a 36-24-36 vital stats (which is very hard to achieve...) I should eat less. I should be like this. I should be like that. I should pursue this. I should pursue that. I should be more of this and less of that. A lot of I should be's when all I really need to be is be me. Another question: What do I get from being me?

A lot of questions but no answer. Or maybe I know the answer. I just don't know what question does it answer -- Do I? This might sound so trivial but it really confuses me. Which should be on top? What should be the last? What will I get from it? Do I really need to get something from it? Would it make me happy?

Thinks...

Sometimes, I get tired of all these things. Who can blame me? Some might think that my life is a boring sequence of events... (Actually, I think that my life is boring.) but with all these things?

So who said that my life was boring?

And who said that your life is boring?

I get tired. You get tired. We all get tired. Tired. Tired. Tired. Zzz... (Doze...)

Life...

this girl in the chatroom asked kung ano ba ang happy sa valentines ... i replied and said that it is happy because you are still blessed and alive... but actually, her question made me think... i mean she has a point... valentines day only becomes happy when you have a valentine... hay... (sourgraping)... wala lang akong valentine kaya ganito... hmm... tsk tsk... pero masaya pa rin ang valentines day kasi maraming chocolates... bumili ako... ang sarap kumain...

last friday, i realized that there are a lot of things that can be done at home which are enjoyable...

1. matulog -- ang sarap nito. soobra... who doesn't like sleeping? everybody likes sleeping... did you know that you burn more calories in sleeping than watching tv?

2. manood ng tv -- this is enjoyable if the programs are worth watching... tulad ng gilmore girls, alias, csi, fear factor, kim possible, lizzie mc guire, etc.

3. mag-ayos ng gamit -- this is very rewarding... lalo na kung maayos mo yung gamit mo... at makikita mong napaka-neat ng room mo... we tend to get messy and we begin to like being messy... but its much better if you are in a clean and neat environment... am i right or am i right?

4. kumain -- favorite! masarap kumain lalo na kapag-nanonood ka ng tv... chips, pizza, ice cream, lasagna etc. (pampataba!) masarap talaga tong gawin lalo na kapag depressed ka...

5. internet -- endless possibilities... you can chat, update your blog, see how many your friends are, download mp3s, watch porn, do your homework, etc.

6. linisin ang ears -- ewan ko ba? ang sarap talagang gawin niyan... parang kakaiba... basta ang hirap i-explain... pero masarap talagang gawin... try niyo... (WARNING: wag kayong mawiwili kasi masama din ang palaging nililinis ang ears...)

7. scriptwriting -- too bad at hindi pa ako 18 kasi talagang mag-eenroll ako sa ricky lee scriptwriting workshop... magandang i-challenge ang iyong mind for new creative ideas... bagong story line... something unique... never heard of... something that nobody has ever imagined...

8. telebabad -- no doubt about it! lalo na pag may sense ang iyong kausap

9. reading books -- lately ko lang na develop ang love for books... for romance novels... ahww... thanks to jax and riz and lowen... they influenced me... i'll be collecting books from now on... nicholas spaarks.... grabe! pinaiiyak ako...

10. imagine things -- haayyy.... masarap mag-imagine... haayyy....

yan... yan ang masarap gawin sa bahay... do you agree with my list? wala lang...

i still have a lot of things to do... but as always i'm too lazy to do these things... probably ill be sleeping the night away and cram tomorrow... (as always)...

Mascians are professional crammers!

Happy Valentines Day!

sana gumaling na ako... (seriously!)

damn it! ugh... i hate it when i don't have an internet card... right now, i'm in this computer shop... i'm not comfortable, really... you know, i'm not used to it anymore! grr... there's this girl in my left... i think she doesn't know how to edit her project or something... there's this guy (who i think i shis boyfriend) who's like teaching her forever... she's just a pretty face without a brain and without boobs... damn it! arghh... i hate it when women fix themselves in public... i admit it, i do fix myself in public but not like this bitchy-good-for-nothing-computer-illiterate... she's putting on lipstick... right now.... reminds me of that speech and drama teacher! (haha!) i'm really pissed off... i'm having a hard time writing in my blog... i think that the 'boyfriend' of this good-for-nothing-computer-illiterate is reading this.... damn... arghhh... i hate it! shit.... forgive my ranting...

Tuesday, February 10, 2004

sir bulaclac is still mad... i really think that we should make a move and say that we are really sorry... damn! i did cry when he was scolding us... that guilty feeling is eating me... sir bulaclac is one of the better teachers... and it is not a good feeling when your teacher (the teacher who really values you) gets mad... the trust between him and our section... scarred... i just hope that we could settle the problem... we really love sir bulaclac... ma-miss na ang lahat ng subjects wag lang tle...

haayy...

we watched monalisa smile today... i love julia stiles... i really like the way she acts... anyway, the story was good (contrary to what lei said).... i mean, i am really very easy to please (contrary to lei's hard to please character)... anyway... the story touched me at some parts...it actually made me cry...

the story's about women... women empowerment etc... you should watch it...

i'm very sleepy though its only 7:50 in the evening... i'm tired... i actually slept at around 1:00 last night... i mean, i slept at 1:00 in the morning....

ciao!

yehey! i changed my blogspot address to mysilentsoul (thank GOD this name was still available!) i followed my friend's (lei) suggestion to change my address (which was silentsoil...) he said that silentsoil sucks! thanks lei... i realized that silentsoil did suck!

today... we only had 5 classes... french (arghh... klase pa pala 'yun), physics (kaantok!), tech eng (klase ni mamu), anal geom (in fairness, gusto ko tong subject na 'to) and english (pinaka-passionate na teacher-- sabi ni rizsa). ang saya saya! kaasar kasi bukas may com sci... pero ayus lang at least maaga uwian...

wala na kaming ink! pakshet!

hihi!

gladys called me (but i was not yet around when she called her) so, i called her... it was the usual phone call that friends have... we talked about everything - from ma'am labay to ma'am correa - basta, everything... na touch lang ako! kasi wala lang... feeling ko na renew ang friendship namin... we realized each others worth... hay... ang sarap ng feeling pag alam mo yung friend mo mahal ka... si gladys ay isa sa pinaka-mahahalagang tao sa buhay ko... actually, marami sila... wala lang... nagsabihan kami ng i love you... na we will miss each other pagtungtong namin sa college... nag-iyakan nga kaming dalawa sa phone eh... iyakin kami talaga... grabe noh!

moral of the story: oi! kayong magkakaibigan dyan... say i love you! syempre friendship niyo yan! hindi lang magsyota ang maaaring magsabihan ng i love you... haayy... kaya sa valentines gawin niyo yan... actually dapat araw araw yan... hay... (iyak...)

my friends are the people who see me. they see the goodness in me. they know my weaknesses. they know my secrets. they love me for who i am. they are a part of my life. they make my life worth living. they inspire me. they also bring out the best in me. i can share my problems with them. i could even share my panty (joke!-->kung kasya!). seriously, they are the ones who will never leave me. they will always be there. they are special. they are one in a million. they are human - like me. and i love them. :)

Sunday mornings used to be good. Not now. Not that I have a lot of things to do. I mean A LOT. I have to finish reading the filipino novel (which I finished at exactly 936 this morning). After reading, I would be doing the write-up for that novel. There's another write-up for english. I need to complete my notes and rewrite my notebooks... Arghh... All the while, I was thinking that being a senior was going to be a bed of roses... It's hell! Darn!

Help!

Saturday, February 07, 2004

I'm back!

I took a nap - a very good sleep, but I was interrupted. My mom called. She said she just returned from work. I miss her so much that it makes me cry. (Sigh...) Why is it always like that? You would only realize a person's worth when he/she is gone. My mother is working abroad (you know that!). She really has no definite job there. She's exploring a foreign land just to send us a few dollars. And what am I doing? Arghh... I feel so guilty! I'm not a black sheep or anything like it but I feel that I'm not a good daughter. She does not deserve a daughter like me. Haay... (Tama na nga ang ganitong usapin!)

I was absent for two days this week and it gave me the chance to watch several shows. I enjoy watching The Truth and Westside Story. I really like the story of The Truth. Reminds me of Mara Clara (Oo na... Jologs na kung jologs!). May inaapi... may nang-aapi... The story's common, really, but I just enjoy it! I don't know why. Maybe because Raymond (Janna's love interest) is cute! Ha!

Did I tell you that blogging is addicting?

It is... As in!




Hiya! Today's a Saturday. As usual, I'm loaded with a lot of things to do... Too many things too little time. I have to finish reading a 168-page FILIPINO novel! (Take Note: Filipino novel) Arghh... I am not fond of reading, well, except for romance novels... (Especially books by Nicholas Sparks)... I do hope that I could finish this book. You know... pa-impress ba!

Early this morning, my aunt called me (Tita Lilet). She'll be sending me money! Yeeha...

I'll write later... I'll eat lunch!
i just viewed my blog! Push tru! Mali-mali yung dates at yung time! Tsk tsk tsk...

Darn!

Friday, February 06, 2004

Another day... Walang malaking balita. I checked UP's site pero as usual, ganun pa rin ang nakalagay... (Mid-February chu chu) Hay... kinakabahan na ako! Wish ko lang pumasa ako... Para naman makabawi ako sa pagkakabagsak ko sa UST... Damn it! I really don't know what went wrong... Ako ba talaga ay hindi destined para sa UST at talagang binagsak ako o sadyang stupid lang ako at hindi ako pumasa sa entrance exam nila... I like to believe na hindi talaga ako destined para sa UST... Hay... Ang sakit talaga sa pride! Kasi naman... the test was easy (especially the Math test) pero bumagsak ako. Imagine, mas mahirap pa ang periodic test ng Masci! Kaasar!

Tama na! Tama na ang ka-bullshit-an na ito! I should get over this! Hindi lang naman UST ang university dito sa Pinas, eh. Di ba?

Kanina, sa school... may career talk! In fairness, ayos yung mga speakers. Not that boring... pero at some point, inantok din ako. Yung topic? The usual. Tungkol sa mga universities, sa courses, sa advantages at disadvantages ng working abroad, at iba pa. Somehow, may napulot naman akong insights. Na-encourage na akong mag nursing ('ya know the money ish). Pero architecture pa rin talaga ang gusto ko.

Hindi pa ako nakakapagbasa ng bible... Ewan ko! Paminsan ginaganahan akong magbasa tapos biglang tatamarin ako. Feeling ko tuloy napaka-plastik ko pagdating sa religious issues. I mean, I believe in God. I try to act like a better Christian but there are some things, some events that hinder me to become one. Parang ang daming hadlang... Paminsan kasi napaka-holy ng dating ko. Paminsan napaka-sama ng ugali ko. Nag-ca-clash!

Wala lang...

Siya nga pala kasalukuyan akong nanonood ng Princess Diaries sa Disney Channel :)

Haha... Feeling ko napaka-walang kwenta ng first serious entry ko! Ayos lang blog ko naman to eh! Di bale next time, mas serious at mas relevant na ang mga entries ko dito.

Thursday, February 05, 2004

Okay. My first post was just a test post. I just wanted to see how it would look like. It's bad. Not as good as Leo's but... I can live with it... Hindi naman ako professional. Ngayon ko lang naman stinart to eh...

I was absent today and yesterday. I was absent yesterday because I went to Quiapo. Nagpagawa na ako ng damit for prom. Ngayon... Wala lang... Tinatamad lang talaga ako.

Finally... I have my own outlet. I'll try my best to update my blog as often as possible. Ciao!
