oh my, it's june already?!

Okay so apparently sabotage and assassination are my specialty. Niiiice. Haha. Anyway, if that were true, probably all my enemies and would-be enemies would be on their knees right now begging for my forgiveness because who knows what I could do to them. *insert evil laugh here* But of course, I'm little miss nice. I won't be able to do that. I can't even hold a gun (with the exception of Time Crisis, of course!).

Waaah! I just saw the new promo video of One Tree Hill on The CW website! And it pretty much sums up the drama of the third season. Watching it made me feel like a part of the show or something. Clearly, OTH has this effect on people -- right, fellow addicts? =) Of course, my Nathan is as hot as ever! Man, when I see that winning free throw he made in episode 20, my mind shuts dead because of over-cuteness. Haha. I'm so excited about the new season! Lots of questions to be answered. And because I love OTH so much, I must first re-live the drama by watching Season 3 again. =) Marathon, here I come. Wanna see the video? Here.

It's June 1st already! My, how time flies! And now I realize I really am just a few days away from THE DAY. Aaaaah!!

The things that excite me about going to school on Monday:

1. G-Tec point 3. Oh yeah, babeh!
2. My new school bag
3. Marilyn Monroe binder
4. Trigonometry (haha, nerd)
5. classmates (yehey!)
   
6. money!! may allowance na eh. =)

The things that make me dread going to school on Monday:

1. the thought of ten whole months of studying -- aaaargh.
2. no more whole day computer marathons
3. any Science subject
4. waking up early
5. staying up late because of cramming sessions
6. seeing people I don't want to see.

So.. what do you think weighs more? I don't know about you guys but I'm still torn between the two. Oh well, I'm still going to school on Monday anyway, whether I like it or not. I just wish that HOPEFULLY things will turn out to be okay and alright, just like what I always wanted.

And so I guess upon the start of classes, my duty as Tutor Girl shall resume. =)
Hello, Trigonometry. I'm excited to meet you.

"I'll be true, I'll be useful,
I'll be cavalier, I'll be yours my dear.
and I'll belong to you
if you'll just let me through,
this is easy as lovers go.."

everyday is a sunday evening.

Sunday evening. It literally means the day before Monday, which is the day before school. Normally, a Sunday evening consists of crammed-up projects, last minute homeworks and quick reviews for a possible quiz. And you usually get this feeling of dreadfulness because you don't want to go to school the next day yet. We still want to enjoy the weekend and we feel like our "freedom" is about to end.

So this means that the term "Sunday evening" is a phrase we use when we are about to end a vacation or a trip and you feel bad because soon everything will go back to normal again. Peyton used this in an episode with the same title.

And right now, I feel like everyday of this week is a Sunday evening. Really. It's like the feeling of being in a room with a time bomb and you see the numbers slowly ticking away. You know that any minute now the thing will explode. And yes, I know that a week from now everything will go back to "normal" -- zit-causing quizzes, mind-boggling research work, the whole enchilada. And it sucks.

But of course, part of me is also excited. I mean, I'm a junior! This means that if Nathan Scott ever happens to drop by our school, asks me out and eventually asks me to marry him, this would be the perfect time since he and Haley got married when they were juniors. Haha. Talaga naman. But seriously, I am a bit eager to go back to school and start the school year because I'm with most of my friends! And they say that being in third year is one of the most important yet exciting part of your high school life. And finally I'll be seeing people already! You know, friends, classmates, the people we talk about (haha), the controversial people..everyone! Oh just thinking about them makes me look forward to going back already. So of course, I can't wait.

Moving on, I think I'm getting addicted to The Simpsons and The Grim Adventures of Billy And Mandy. I don't know why but I just love them! They really make me laugh, unlike the other cartoons which are just plain corny.These days my taste in television shows (with the exception of One Tree Hill) is more on the comedic side. I guess the happy spirit in me is coming out once again. Haha. Good for me, right? More endorphins on the way. =)

"I believe in abusing and exploiting the stupid"
I just looooove Mandy's sarcasm! Haha.

"D'oh!"

There'll be a Wonder Woman movie daw!! Can't wait!! Finally, time for my alter ego to shine. Woohoo! And also, I read somewhere that there'll be a Batman Vs. Superman movie. Ooh! I wonder who will win? Hmm. Go Batman! =)

Ooh. Exciting!




"Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head,
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind.."
-- Over My Head by the Fray

still in-loooooove.

Do you know Pocoyo? He's this character in Playhouse Disney and he is just the most adorable creature ever! He is soooooooo cute! Promise. Every time I see him on screen, I just want to hug him and squeeze him! And his laugh makes my heart melt. Really. Seeing him makes me feel like a kid again, you know, enjoying the simple things in life. Like appreciating the stars or befriending the animals. Sometimes, I tend to overlook these little things. I act like they don't matter anymore or that I can go on without them. But when I see Pocoyo, and all the other cute cartoon characters out there, they make these little things somewhat significant to me all over again. And it just feels good when you know that you don't have to look very far to have a smile on your face. =)

Aww. Isn't he the cutest little thing?!

Taylor Hicks won. And though I dislike him, I admit he really is a good singer. I really thinks he deserves the spot. But not as much as Elliott! I still can't over him. Hehe! =) So okay, another season of the most popular show to ever hit America (and the world -- I think) ends. And I must agree that this season was the best. Almost all of the finalists were really great, and unlike the previous years, this season was quite unpredictable. The line-up was awesome: everybody really had a chance of winning. And the featured musicians were great as well, like Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow. I just hope that they'll be successful with whatever paths they will take after AI because they all deserve a big break. Congrats Taylor! And to Katherine, too! And of course, to my Elliot Yamin! I still do love him.. haha.

Wow, I'm so excited about the upcoming blockbusters that just hit and will hit us this season! X-men, Spiderman, Superman.. oh! Superheroes galore. Of course, I am still madly in-love with Batman and my loyalty will remain with him, but who am I to miss the forthcoming flicks? It sucks though, that when cartoon or comic characters are turned into movies, they turn out to be suckier than everyone else expected. Isn't it? They sort of ruin the image and somehow end up ruining the plotline or something. It's much more exciting to see them in TV or read about them in the comics. But oh well, they're still good enough to watch, right? And more often than not, the superheroes are man-candy, so who's complaining?! =)

Still.. no matter how many other "men" I may like, there is still one guy that will always stay in my heart. And honestly, I couldn't believe that even after such a long time already, I'm still in love with him. Usually, I just get tired of my crushes but this time, he really hit me. And my love for him will prove that. I bet you already know who I'm talking about. He's Nathan. MY Nathan. Hayyy. I still am head-over-heels crazy in love with him. My heart beats for him.. and thinking about him just makes my adrenalines rush. So please, don't ever bother stealing him away from me, okay? =)

my Nathan Scott.

This shot was taken at the CW upfront (courtesy of DareToMove). And that look on his face? Oooh.. it sends shivers to my spine! And I'm sure that will be the exact same smile he'll be flashing on our wedding day, when I walk down that aisle. Waaaah! =)

I love you, Nathan Scott.
Always and forever. =)

Let me fall, even if I hit the ground

At least I know I lived, just a little.."

ohh be my baby.. i'll look after you.

I changed my layout -- again. Hehe. It's not that I don't like Marilyn anymore, in fact I still do looove her. I just didn't want to get tired of her. You know? I'll be seeing her for ten months (she's in my binder, remember?) and I don't want to lose my "interest" in her before school starts. Haha. Labo. Anyway, this new one is sort of Xanga-ish, don't you think? I experimented with the div layers and the stylesheet so I came up with this one. And it's based on one of my current favorite songs, which I mentioned before, Look After You by The Fray. You should listen to it! Promise. Super nice. And I like the couple in the pic, don't you? Sweet kasi eh. Haha.

I went to school again a while ago to prepare for the freshmen orientation, then we'll come back again for our final practice. Freshmen ha, we worked hard for your orientation! You should be thankful! Haha, joke. Feeling. Anyway, we had fun again, as usual. I'm not part of the SC (I'm part of the Cordiality) but I feel like I am because we're so bonded. We're always laughing and making kwento..we never run out of stories and gossip! Thanks to our very own Kris Aquino, Nica, who gathers her latest "information" on Friendster. Hehe. =) Planning for the orientation makes me want to go to school already. Sort of. Because I feel so grown-up already. You know this feeling of security that the freshmen can approach you because you already know how the things work in high school.. yung ganun. I feel that. So yun.. I hope I can deliver my talk well. Clubs and orgs..haha. Piece of cake -- hmm. =)

Just finished watching American Idol. And I honestly have this feeling that Taylor will win even if I don't like him. I mean the crowd and the judges LOVE him. It's like he gave a super great performance while Kat only gave a mediocre one. But still. I really don't like him. Sorry, Taylor fanatics, but I just can't put myself into accepting that Taylor will win. Ever since the beginning. I just really, really, really hate him. So though I know he has this huge possibility of winning the title, I still have this tiny piece of hope that Kat will. She looks so HOT. Really. Just looking at her pretty face makes me so jealous. Waaaah. =)

the McPheever! =)

News on our subjects: We both have Noli and El Fili books which means we'll be tackling Rizal all-year round! No more boring lessons about morpema, ponema, and all the shiznit. It just drives me crazy! Then it was confirmed that we'll be having Trigonometry (great news for math-nerd Karla.. haha). We'll still be having Algebra (insert great big smile again) and Chemistry will be our main Science subject, I think. Still not sure about the semestral Math and Science enrichments, and also on the extra subject for Pull-Out Fast. but we don't have Biology anymore! So yeeeeessssss! I suck at that eh. The second year daw will not have Geometry this year that's why when they reach their third year they'll be taking both Trigo and Geom. Waah, too bad for them, they won't be able to enjoy the beauty of Geometry. Haha, yuck and nerd ko na talaga. For first year naman, Consumers Math was changed to Business Math, and I don't think they have Intro to Bio because it was converted to Citology. Nyeeeh. That's it for now, I think.

So maybe you're all frowning at me because I sound like a complete Math geek. That's because I really am better at Math than Science. Really. I suck at Science, especially Bio. And besides, I enjoy Math more. That's why my "pang-hila" to my grades are the Math subjects because I really don't appreciate Science that much. Maybe Physics pa, because it has Algebra in it (di ba? the formulas and all) and Chem (sometimes, depending on the lessons) because we really don't memorize a lot of terms there (except for the ions) but Bio? Naaah. That's my weakest point. And besides, I'll be taking Accounting (hopefully) as my specialization in fourth year and my course in college so that's why I really have to love Math. Harhar. Does this make me a dweeb or something? =)

I'm crushing on Dr. John "JD" Dorian from Scrubs. He's played by Zach Braff. Of course, he's not as hot as Nathan, but he's really cute, especially when he acts so silly and confused. So adorable. =) Still, liking him doesn't make me want to take up medicine, nursing or any scientific field for that matter though. Haha.

Funny-looking talaga. Hehe. Cuuute.

I just read the most heart-breaking news: Ken and Barbie broke up. After 43 years of being together. Since 2004 pa. WOW. Shocking. And I thought they were the strongest couple in Hollywood (they're celebrities, right?). Hayyy.. why is everybody splitting up? Oh well. Read more about it here.

Have to go eat dinner. Mwah mwah! =)

have you ever been alone in a crowded room?

Heyy.. I'm back. I guess after the great news, I pretty much didn't have anything to talk about. Haha.

Yesterday, we went to the Mall of Asia. Yes, we went on the opening day and I was so.. disappointed. It was SO crowded and the people were so undisciplined. Some were stealing the flowers in front of the stores, yung mga welcome flowers. And it was so pathetic. I mean, they were trashing the place! And it was so noisy. Nakakasakit ng ulo. The place is sooooo big too and the moment I entered, I said to myself I want to go home right away. The only good thing that happened was that while my mom and I were in Penshoppe, Atom Araullo approached me! Haha! =) So cuuute. He asked me to join the game dun sa Penshoppe. I said no..but still! He approached me! He smiled at me! He touched me! Haha =) Atom Araullo. Hayayayay.

Now, do you recognize him?!
Totally cute in the pic.
Cuter in person! Hehe =)

Last Saturday naman, we went Blue Wave to get my caffeine fix at Starbucks and guess who I saw? 6Cycle Mind!! Haha. And Ney even smile at me. Oh yeah. But they were in a meeting of some sort, so I didn't bother taking a picture with them. Besides, they're not my "idols" naman..but hey! Ney smiled at me! That should be something right? =)

Okay so enough about the celebrity sight-seeings..

Elliott may not be in American Idol anymore, but he's still in my heart! So I decided to download his songs in Limewire. And boy, I miss him! Listening to him sing, especially "Open Arms", brings chills to my spine! Galing talaga grabe. Now between Taylor and Kat, I don't know who I like. I think Kat is hooooot and sexy, but I don't think she really has the AI material. And Taylor? I just don't like him. Period. So who will win?! To tell you honestly, I don't really care anymore. Haha. =) Basta, Elliott parin!

I'm starting to love two new songs I also downloaded from Limewire last Saturday. The first one is "Dark Blue" by Jack's Mannequin. This was played in the ending montage of scenes in Episode 15 (Just Watch The Fireworks). This was the part where Whitey was watching himself in the time capsule. Anyway, I really liked the song because once again, Jack's Mannequin was able to weave wonderful music and words together through his amazing piano skills. I don't know how he does it, but everytime he strikes a key, there seems to be magic in his songs! I love him for it! =) And the other one is "Look After You" by The Fray. This song naman was played in the ending part of Episode 20 (Everyday Is A Sunday Evening), just after my Nathan scores the winning shot (and I love him for it!!). The message of the song is very, very nice. And both of these songs have been on repeat mode in my iPod. Haha. =) Super LSS. Anyway, I really think the music of OTH is one of the key elements to its success. The producers really try to match the songs with the scenes, to go well with the emotion of the show. Ahh..another great reason to love the show even more! =)

I miss OTH!!

So it has been almost a week since our maid went on a vacation, and it has been almost a week since I became a part-time Cinderella to our home. And honestly, I loved doing it. It made me feel important. I was doing the chores on my own. And take note: I had a knee casualty, so basically I was doing everything on one leg! Harhar. Well, impossible as it is, I was able to go through the week without any broken dishes or burning stove ranges or whatnot. I even had fairy godmothers in the form of my lolas who were constantly bringing in yummy food and helping out sometimes. It was fun actually, knowing that I serve a purpose in our home. I actually felt independent already! Congratulations to me, I guess. I'm just wondering though, if I was Cinderella for a week, when will my Prince Charming come?! Hmm.

Just finished watching Joan of Arcadia on ETC and I think I'm starting to like it. It's pretty cool that God finds ways to talk to her through different people. You know sometimes, I wish I was Joan so that when I start going to the wrong side of the tracks, someone will automatically be there to shake me out of it. You know what I mean? And suddenly watching the show makes me want to be a better person. =)

I think I'm addicted to Oprah. Haha. =)

By the way, I FINALLY uploaded our Thailand pictures!! Yes, I know, it has been a long time but I hope you guys check it out! It's in my Multiply. Comments would be very much appreciated. =)

Oh my. It's the 23rd tomorrow.
23!! Nathan Scott! =)

Haha. There I go again.
Love to all! Mwah, mwah.



"Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning down

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue.."

it's official!! oh yeah!

"Upstart netlet the CW will add just one new sitcom and one new drama to its first fall lineup, preferring to rely mostly on returning WB and UPN faves. "Girlfriends" spin off "The Game" and Darren Star drama "Runaway" scored series pickups, while the Kevin Williamson sudser "Palm Springs" -- ontap for midseason -- landed an eight-episode green light. Bubble shows "Veronica Mars" and "One Tree Hill" also made the cut, with full 22-episode orders."

-- source: OTHweb

One Tree Hill has been picked up for Season 4!! =) Yes!! This is so far, the best news I have ever received this summer! The moment I read it here and here, my heart flipped and for a moment there I think I had a heart attack. Haha. I am so HAPPY right now because for those who still don't know, I am obssessed with One Tree Hill and it's my number one favorite show of all time. So yeheeeey for me and the million OTH fans out there! Filming will start around July, I think, and hopefully the new season will air in late September or early October. Wow, just in time for my birthday. Can't wait!!! =)

Yesterday, I finished watching Season 3 and all I can say was OHMYGOSH. It was no doubt the best season yet. The last few episodes were filled with almost everything -- love, happiness, sadness, confusion, basketball and all the elements that makes it great. The season finale left me totally shocked and hanging. I'm tempted to tell what happened in the end but of course, I will not because that would ruin the surprise for everyone else. After seeing it, all I could say to myself was, "What's going to happen?" because honestly it stunned me. Really, it did. It really deserves another season. Thanks to all those who voted! =) And keep watching, okay?

Can he get any hotter?! I so ♥ love him.

By the way, I have a new layout -- in case you haven't noticed. It features the one and only, Marilyn Monroe. After that clutch-binder thing, I decided to make her the face of my blog as well. I really find people from their era very beautiful. And stunning. Like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly. And Marilyn Monroe is just one of them. She is considered the "most phenomenal bombshell of all time" and one of the best actresses in Hollywood. She died at a young age (36) but she left a great mark in the history of the silver screen. And besides, she's hot. =) Hehe. Comments would be much appreciated. =)

Something happened to my knee and now I can barely walk. I've been hopping around all day yesterday since my right leg was basically useless. It hurts like hell when I bend and stretch my knee! And I'm home alone! I have to wash the dishes, clean the house, go up and down the stairs ON ONE LEG. So I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me medicine and an ointment. Thankfully, the ointment did a pretty good job and now I can walk a little bit (though it still hurts). I hope this goes away by weekend because we're booked at a hotel and I want to go swimming! Waaah.

You know I miss a lot of people from school already. The people I used to hang out with every morning, the people I'm always with the whole day long, the people in my pull-out classes, the people in my section, the people in the corridor, the people in the other buildings.. basically everybody. And you know what's weird? I chat with these people on Y!M, I talk to them over the phone, I text them, I communicate with them on Friendster, I see them on their blogs.. I know what's been happening to them and how they are. And yet there is still something missing. I guess nothing really beats being with these people in person. I miss them A LOT! Can't wait to see them. =)

American Idol eliminations later. Oh I hope Elliott goes through the next round! He's amazing. He deserves to be in the finals. But you know how AI is, nothing is impossible, even the best people get voted out (read: Chris). Hayyy. Go Elliott Yamin! =)

"You ever heard the expression 'The best things in live are free'? Well that expression is true. Every once in a while, people step up they rise above themselves sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet,the person you love decides to love you back."

astig maging paulinian! =)

Catherine Untalan is Miss Philippines - Earth 2006. She's beautiful and smart. And she's a Paulinian. A graduate from St. Paul College of Paranaque. OUR school. Wheeee! =) Astig! I remember her being the tall HS Student Council President when I was in 4th grade. She represented the school in Battle of the Brains (and we won!). When she speaks at the podium, everyone really listens. She owns the stage. Her charm and wit wins everyone's hearts. And that's exactly what she did last night at the pageant. We're not close, but I'm really proud of her, and I'm sure as hell that every other Paulinian out there is proud of her too. Congrats, Ate Cathy! =) By the way, her younger sister, Ate Mina (who's three years older than me) became my friend when we were both in the SC two years ago. I haven't seen her for a long time now, but if she ever comes across my blog (hehe), congrats to her, too! It must be great to have a sister like Cathy.

Wow. A beauty queen alumna. That rocks!

I already finished the GG book last Saturday. I know, I know. Corny because I finished it right away. But I'm really like this. When I REALLY like a book, I couldn't keep my hands off it. The book was not as wonderful as the other ones, but it was great. The story was still filled with intrigues and it left me with a LOT of questions. Now, I can't wait for the tenth one! I NEED to know what'll happen next!

Speaking of needing to know what happens next.. I'm dying to know what's going to happen in OTH! I already saw some pics from the last episode and I sort of know a lot of major details already but I want to watch it! I have to get the CDs from Nica as soon as possible! You're probably asking why don't I just download it from our Limewire. Eh kasi, Nica finished downloading it na, way ahead of me. So yun, instead of waiting for twenty hours, I just asked her to burn for me. Hehe. Anyway, the fate of One Tree Hill will be determined on May 18th so I'm still crossing my fingers for it! They must get picked up for a fourth season or else I will die! And a lot of fans will really get disappointed because the last episode left a lot of cliffhangers. Waaah. Can't wait!

Yesterday was fiesta day here in San Dionisio. It was really a grand celebration because our place only celebrated every other year. The people all flocked to the chapel yesterday morning for the eight o'clock mass. Natives, balikabayans, you name it, they were there. The rain didn't stop us from celebrating! The parade, the sunduan.. it was great. We had a heart lunch, cooked by my lola and my cousins and I just bonded. Then we went to the gym and watched the komedya. The komedya is this play that usually tells a story of a Christian - Muslim war. There are princesses and princes fighting for love and for their nation. I've always dreamt of playing a princess in the komedya because being one brings honor to your family. You'll be catapulted to superstar status (hehe) and of course, you will be a legend. The people will forever remember you as the "prinsesa" and trust me, they will NEVER forget. My ninong played the kontrabida in 2004's komedya, and trust me he got quite famous for his evil laugh. My mom says I should join when I turn 18 so that I'll be part of San Dionision's history, but I'm still thinking about it. I mean, I'm already a princess, right? Hehe. =)

Out of boredom, I watched an episode of The Jerry Springer show and I was disappointed with all the guests they had that were racists. One woman said she would rather let her child die than have a person from another race donate an organ. One man said that black people don't go to heaven. Another man said that people with different colored skin from him (he's white) are inferior to him. How pathetic can they be?! I was partly hurt because though I am not black, I do not belong to their race either. I do not have the same color as them. But really, does that make me less of a person? Does that make the African-Americans, the Asians, the Filipinos any different from them? Do they really think that having a fairer complexion makes them superior?! Wow. I cannot believe that there are still people like that in our world. I mean, come on. They should grow up! We are all created equal. God made us unique in our own way, but we are not superior or inferior to anyone else. We are all on the same level. We are ALL beautiful. Color or race does not determine our greatness. It's what's inside our hearts. It's saddens me that there are still a number of people who think that we (other races) are ugly. I just pray that one day, they'll wake up from their insanity and accept that though the whole world isn't like them physically, we are all one. We are all equal in God's eyes.

Beyonce Knowles is from the black race.
She's beautiful.

Zhang Ziyi is from the yellow race.
She's beautiful.

Karla Bernardo is from the brown race.
And she's beautiful. =)

Hehe. Okay, di kasama yung huli. =D But, you get my point, right?
Hayy. I want my Ate Marion's choco chip cookies! I'm addicted!
Oh and by the way.. I was able to open my Multiply again! Finally!
So I'll be uploading my pics there na.
Love to all. ♥
