TMJ revisited

Two weeks ago, I went to see a TMJ specialist to finally put an end to my clicking-locking-painful jaw. 3 x-rays and several other procedures confirmed that indeed I have a TMJ dysfunction.

I have a deep bite and my right condyle is less than a millimeter away from my temporal bone. Hence, the clicking and the pain. My left condyle is only a millimeter away. The normal distance should be 3 millimeters.

Also, I can only open my mouth to a max of 29 millimeters. The normal range is 40 millimeters. (Yes, I have been having difficulties with biting but it does not stop me from eating a lot in the past few months.)

The dentist said I need to undergo theraphy and wear a splint (bite plate) 24/7 for 3-6 months to correct my bite. The splint and the theraphy would cost me 30 thousand.

Afterwards, she said I need to wear braces. And that would cost a minimum of 40 thousand. Goodness! Sakit ng mayaman pala ito.

I'm not too sure if I really needed the braces. So, I'll have to ask other dentists. I don't want to wear one because it looks painful. And it costs a lot. So, austerity measures na naman ito.

I'll be officially starting my theraphy tomorrow. I hope the splint isn't uncomfortable and that I wouldn't have any speech difficulties while wearing it.

random thoughts

i read/found out something this afternoon and all of a sudden i am i getting teary-eyed about everything that i think about..

-----------

we went apartment hunting last Sunday and found a couple of intereseting ones.

one costs 15-16t hou a month (ndi pa confirmed w/c one). 2 flrs, 2 bedrooms, 2 t&b. it was new and nice and clean and spacious.

the other costs 16thou a month. 2 flrs, 2 bedrooms dn. mas malapit compared dun sa previous one.

i asked my housemate why we are leaning towards the first one when the latter is nearer. sbe nya, "pink yun eh.."

ayos, mabigat na criteria pala ang kulay ng walls kaysa sa location.

gusto ko na umuwi. masakit tlga!

i'm bored

I still don't have a phone. I applied for a new line so I can get a free phone and it is already approved. But then, they had no stock of the unit I wanted. Well, not exactly because I want the red one and the guy told me they only have silver.

What is the point of displaying a red unit when they don't actually have one? At the end of each of his explanations I would reply "eh gusto ko ng red". I was like a child bargaining with him.

But I'm still hoping for a miracle. I really want the red phone.

koreans

May nakasakay akong Korean family last Saturday nung pauwi ako sa Nueva. Sa bandang harap ako nakaupo kaya hindi ko sila mapapansin kung hindi nagkaron ng ingay sa gawi nila.

Pano naman kasi, hindi malaman nun kunduktor kung papano sila titikitan. Hindi kasi alam kung saan sila exactly bababa. Tatlo sila, nanay at tatay na nasa 40's siguro at yun anak nilang lalaki na 7 or 8 siguro. Yun bata lang ang marunong mag-English.

Ang sabi nila sa Malolos sila papunta pero nun inihinto sila, hindi daw dun. Kaya ayun, medyo nainis na naman yun kunduktor.

Sa mga oras na 'to, medyo naiinis ako sa kunduktor at dun sa ale na katabi nun mga Koreans na medyo pabibo. Kinakausap nya yun bata tapos ang lakas nya magsalita. Tapos sbe nya, "Baka nagtu-tour lang ang mga to. Gusto lang mag-round trip." Yun kunduktor naman, reklamo ng reklamo out loud.

Naiinis ako kase parang masyado nilang pinapalaki yun issue. Pwede naman bigyan ng ticket bago sila bumaba mismo. Tapos yun babae, parang pinapalabas nya na tatanga tanga yun mga Koreans. (well, ganun ang feeling ko). Hindi lang sila maka-communicate pero hindi ibig sabihin na wala silang alam.

Para naman dun sa mga Koreans, sana man lang tinandaan kasi yun pangalan ng lugar na bababaan. tsktsk

Nakarating naman sila ng maayos. It turns out sa WalterMart sa Gapan, N.E. sila pupunta.

As Lovers Go Lyrics
by Dashboard Confessional


She said, "I've got to be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishin' around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm not foolin', this feelin' is real."
She said, "You've gotta be crazy!
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy mark?"

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."

All wrong
All wrong
But you've got me

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 just let me through

This is easy as lovers go.
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade,
What's the sense in waiting?

I said, "I've got to be honest,
I've been waiting for you all of my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"

Tonight
Tonight
You've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade, what's the sense in waiting?

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade, what's the sense in waiting?

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailormade, what's the sense in waiting?

nahanap ko din..

Meron akong gustung gusto na song sa kinakanta ng 8pm Sunday Mass choir sa St. Andrew's. Sa wakas, naalala ko din hanapin sa internet.

Eto nga ata yun:

As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longeth after you.
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship you.

You alone are my strength, my shield.
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship you.

You're my friend, and You are my brother
Even though You are a King.
and I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.

I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye

LOA

Because my work schedule has changed, I cannot afford to go to school this sem. I filed for an LOA this afternoon and since this is the first time and I'm still technically new to the school I was clueless. It was tiring but I got all the signatures I needed.

Some of the offices I went to didn't even checked their records. They just signed the form. I guess face value was enough. wehehe

I'll miss school even if I just went there twice a week last sem. I don't like doing papers and projects but I like being inside the classroom especially if you are not required to recite. I'm more of a listener.

Hmm.. This is a boring entry. Well, I just wanted to activate my webmail account to check my grades but I found out that I can only do that using computers inside the campus. Too bad..

I have no idea what grade I got for my other 2 subjects. The classcards are not yet available. But I got a "1.0" in one of my subjects. Tsamba! :)

That's all for now. My life is getting boring. I'll need find new adventures so my posts wouldbe more worthwhile to read.

again, again, again..

i tried pero mahirap tlaga. tama ako na bigyan lng ng 3 months after maayos dahil somehow, i knew na mangyayari ulit. it was an 11-month love-hate relationship. and i need to let you go.

as soon as maayos ka, bahala na ag susunod na magmamay-ari sa yo. at ako naman, hahanap na ng kapalit.

haay.. hirap ng walang phone. frustrating pag nagme-message alert pero ndi ko naman mabasa. at pag may nag-mimiscol na ndi ko naman makita kng sino.

sira na naman ang display ng phone ko. so, if u are texting me ndi ako makakareply. pero pwd nyo ako tawagan. :)

round-up

school
-- 1 month. wala pa naman masyado requirements. hmm.. mali pala, ndi ko pa lang pala sinisimulan. but i've been reading the articles, etc. medyo nauuna pa nga ata ako ng kaunti. the problem is, ndi ko masyado naiintindihan! lagot

walang pasok last Thursday kasi may bagyo. ngaun lng ulit ako affected ng mga ganyang pangyayari sa loob ng 2 years. ksi lagi kami may pasok d2 sa office pati holidays.

work
-- ndi na masyadong nakaka-harrass pero ndi rin naman petiks. tama lang. plus, nakakapanood ako ng Greys Anatomy pag lunch time or when i'm downloading something.

family
-- ano ba? once a month na lang ako nakakauwi ngaun e. pero ok naman, medyo madalas namana ako magtext at tumawag lately. saka, ninang is currently in davao visiting mel and his family. so yun, medyo madalas dn sila magtext sa kin to update and ask questions. example: pano magpa-rebook ng flight? pano mag-email ng pictures?

oo nga pala, mommy almost won sa mega lotto. she got 5 out of the 6 numbers. so, i'm still far from being kidnapped. hehe sayang nga e, pero nakaka-excite pa din. yun ang masarap e, yun you're almost there and you realize that's it's really possible.

kaya ako, tataya na dn ako sa lotto. haha

**sige, yan muna kwento ko. sisimulan ko na yun paper ko.

back to school

Yep. I'm back in school.



If you ask me why, I'm sorry but I can't give you a definite answer. It's a mixture of I'm-a-little-bored and Maybe-I've-always-wanted-to-do-this and I'm-just-trying-to-figure-out-if-this-will-work-for-me, etc etc.

Anyway, I'm taking 3 classes this sem in UP Dil. If everything goes out well, I can finish the Certificate in Professional Education Program in 1 year. My classes would be every Monday and Thursday (4 - 830pm).

Last Thursday was my first day in school. Good thing that Rowick and I are classmates (she graduated there) because I feel like a freshman (meaning: lost).

---------------------

We met Christopher at McDo Quezon Ave after class. As we were about to finish eating, I realized I left something in the classroom (@#$%^&!!!). So we went back --Rowick and I rode on a jeepney while Christopher followed us on his motorbike.

The rooms were already closed so we didn't get the chance to check if the lost item was there. I went back the following morning and still I'm unable to find it (@#$%^& talaga!!!). I'll post more about this next time.

Going back, we needed to go home since it's already gettin late. This time, the 3 of us rode the motorbike. I was hesitant to do so because it's just plain dangerous. But what the heck, it's fun!

There were only 2 helmets so we girls get to wear 1 each. I kept telling C to be careful because R and I wants to get married someday. And its unfair that he is the only one to experience it.

I was still able to write this post, so obviously we got home safely that night. R's place in only in Project 6 so C and I had to travel all the way from Visayas Ave to Makati.

It started to rain half-way of the trip. But C has raincoats so it wasn't a problem. The ride was fun but a little scary when buses and cars pass by our little motorbike left and right. And your butt hurts after.

It was a great expereince but I'm not sure if I'd do it again.

How are you feeling today?
Carve Your Heart Out Yourself by Dashboard Confessional

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me
Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end
Treating me like I'm already gone

But I'm not, I will stay where you are always
I will stay, I will stay, I will stay (all of now)

Will you get far in life?
Panahon na Naman by Rivermaya

I’ll Never Fall In Love Again by Deacon Blue

Don't tell me what it's all about
`Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you.

BBBS

On May 13 – 14, 2006, 68 volunteers brought up 535 sets of school supplies to the children of Lacub, Abra, Cordillera Autonomous Region as part of the BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER (BBBS) outreach project.

2 buses left the Cubao terminal at 830pm (Friday) heading to Bangued, Abra. We arrived at around 5am and quickly ate our breakfast and then transferred our backpacks and the school supplies to the 3 jeepneys.



The manong drivers ate their breakfast halfway of the trip. We had our pictures taken during this time.



After 4 hours of the dusty and bumpy (no kidding) jeepney ride, we reached the school where we are staying.



Lacub is a huge town -- around 30 000 hectares with only 30 000 people. They had to walk long distances to go go from one place to another, especially the children going to schools.

This becomes a problem during the rainy season because the dirt roads become muddy and its difficult to walk up or down.

An hour later, we're off to the mountains..



















It took us around 6-7 hours to go up Mt. Inuman and back to the school.

There was dinner and a cultural night program. Mostly, dancing and eating. Each of us were asked to join the group dance and the courtship dance. It was a bit embarassing to dance with the locals but after a while all of us started to enjoy the expereince.

Their local rice wine was not for me, though. I didn't like the taste.







The following day's call time was 5am. Tiredas we were, we all got up as soon as they start "banging" the doors.

There was a program for the kids -- games, singing, dancing. Then, we taught them how to make pin wheels.











Kudos to AMCI and the BBBS organizers. Till next year!

get found, kid!

The other day I was reading another one of Fulghum's essays. It was about a kid who is good at hide-and-seek. He always hid too well.

----------------------------

"As I write this, the neighborhood game goes on, and there is a kid under a pile of leaves in the yard just under my window. He has been out there a long time now, and everybody else is found and they are about to give up on him over at the base. I considered going out to the base and telling them where he is hiding. And I thought about setting the leaves on fire to drive him out. Finally, I just yelled, “GET FOUND KID! out the window. And I think I just scared him. It’s real hard to know how to be helpful sometimes.

A man I know found out last year that he had terminal cancer. He was a doctor and knew about dying and he didn’t want his family and his friends to suffer through that with him, so he kept it a secret. And he died. Everybody said how brave he was to bear his suffering in silence and not tell everybody… but privately his family and friends said how angry they were that he didn’t need them, didn’t trust their strength. And it hurt that he didn’t say good-bye.

He hid too well. Getting found would have kept him in the game. Hide-and-seek, grown-up style. Wanting to hide. Needing to be sought. And confused about being found. “I don’t want anyone to know.” (He said) “What will people think?” “I don’t want to bother anyone.”

Everybody is hiding together...and pretty soon somebody laughs, and everybody gets found.

Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game of Sardines. In Sardines the person who is IT goes and hides and everybody goes looking for him. When you find him, you get in with him and hide with him…and pretty soon, someone laughs and everybody gets found."

wala ng blog..

ngayon lang ako ulit nakapagbasa na blogs.

una, dahil busy. ewan ko ba kung sino nagpa-uso nito sa office, pero ito ang trend ngaun.

pangalawa, naka-block na dn ang karamihan as blogs. buti na lang may ThomsonOne Workstation! (pero nun isang araw, nadiscover ko na pwd na ulit ako gumamit ng YM! yey!)

pangatlo, tinatamad ako magsulat.

pakiramdam ko ang dami kong kwento pero alam kong hindi dapat i-post dito yun iba. may mga bago din akong nakilala at kikilalanin.

may 2 bagong adventures din ako sa mga susunod na araw. sa weekend na yun isa. tapos sa May naman yun isa pa ulit.

ikkwento ko na lang pag nngayari na.

oo nga pala, hindi ko pa napo-post yun ibang pictures sa adventure race (panis na yun kwento na yun) kasi ndi ko pa naa-upload yun ibang pix.

sana sipagin ako sa mga susunod na araw. at sana magka-oras para gawin kapag sinipag.

adventure race

mahirap pala pag mag-isa lang sa Sat shift, nakakapagod mag-email. buti tapos na ko sa mga emails from last night at sana wala ng dumating at tumawag pa.

kaya eto, blog muna. sa kasamaang palad, hindi naka-open ang PC kung saan nakashare ang pix kaya ito lang muna ang mapo-post ko.


First Event -- well, pabalik na kami nito. we were supposed to swim pero naging walk (to conserve energy na rin daw). i like this picture


Second Event (Egg Hunt) -- ito talaga ang deciding factor. ang hirap! ang init! frustrating! na-sand burnt ang knees and elbows ko dito. we were about to give up pero biglang na-feel ko na may something hard akong nahawakan.


Fifth Event ata ito -- takbo, lundag at gapang lang

next time na yun ibang pix. oo nga pala, we finished 4th place. not bad. :)

[We all look at Yeyen and tells her, "Ang kalahati tig-7. Hindi 6 sa Ate mo tapos 8 sa yo."]

Sangko: Pano matulog ang kuba?
Kylie: Eh di naka-angat yun likod kasi may umbok yun pag nakahiga.

tanungin ang ina ni mo

napakinggan ko kagabi yun segment na yan sa Magic. natawa ako sa mga sagot ng ina ni moe. hahaha

nway, gusto kong kumanta. yun bigay todo kaya lang ang weird naman kung bigla ko na lang gawin yun kaya eto, ipo-post ko na lang.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

22 and counting

natapos din ang araw.

salamat sa lahat ng nakaalala.

-----------------

so, ano na? ewan ang sagot. bukas ko na lang uumpisahang isipin.

sabi nga ng Sugarfree, "hayaan na muna natin sila.." tulog muna ko.

bago mag-22

"What I want to do and what I do are two separate things. If we all went around doing what we wanted all the time, there'd be chaos."

Napanood ko kanina yan (Simon Birch) sa Star Movies. Naiyak na naman ako.

--------------

After ng movie, pumunta ako sa mall para bumili ng pasta at cooking oil pati gatas ni James. Nakalimutan ko bumili ng cheese! Napagalitan pa ko ng nanay ko dahil ayaw ko daw kasi ilista kanina.

--------------

Pagdating ko ulit dito, nag-computer sandali tapos nag-dinner. Nanood ng tv sandali tapos nag-online dahil may chat session kami ni Maaike (taga-Nabuur).

Ang dami ko na kapalpakan sa volunteer work na yun. Buti medyo lumilinaw na ang mga bagay bagay. Natapos ko na din yun mga pinapagawa nya.

--------------

Naghihintay ako mag-12am. Ewan ko kung bakit. hehe

Dapat matulog na ko dahil 6am ako magma-mass. Ayoko sa 730am kasi madaming tao na kakilala ko (nasa Nueva ako ngayon) at baka batiin nila ko. Dahil malamang babanggitin sa misa na bday ko. Malabo ba? Basta, may pagka-anti social ako e. hehe

---------------

Ayan, 12am na! (oh no!!!! ayoko pa. i don't like. pu yao) hehehe

march na pala!

Waters of March
(orig: Agua de Beber - Carlos Antonio Jobim)


A stick a stone
it's the end of the road,

it's the rest of the stump
it's a little alone

it's a sliver of glass,
it is life, it's the sun,

it is night ,it is death,
it's a trap, it's a gun.

the oak when it blooms,
a fox in the brush,

the knot in the wood,
the song of the thrush.

the wood of the wind,
a cliff, a fall,

a scratch, a lump,
it is nothing at all.

it's the wind blowing free.
it's the end of a slope.

it's a beam, it's a void,
it's a hunch, it's a hope.

and the riverbank talks.
of the water of march

it's the end of the strain,
it's the joy in your heart.

the foot, the ground,
the flesh, the bone,

the beat of the road,
a slingshot stone.

a fish, a flash,
a silvery glow,

a fight, a bet,
the range of the bow.

the bed of the well,
the end of the line,

the dismay in the face,
it's a loss, it's a find.

a spear, a spike,
a point, a nail,

a drip, a drop,
the end of the tale.

a truckload of bricks,
in the soft morning light,

the shot of a gun,
in the dead of the night.

a mile, a must,
a thrust, a bump.

it's a girl, it's a rhyme.
it's the cold, it's the mumps.

the plan of the house,
the body in bed,

the car that got stuck,
it's the mud, it's the mud.

a float, a drift,
a flight, a wing,

a hawk, a quail,
the promise of spring.

and the riverbanks talks.
of the waters of march.

it's the promise of life,
it's the joy in your heart,

a snake, a stick,
it is john, it is joe,

it's a thorn in your hand,
and a cut on your toe.

a point, a grain,
a bee, a bite,

a blink, a buzzard,
the sudden stroke of night.

a pin, a needle,
a sting, a pain,

a snail, a riddle,
a weep, a stain.

a pass in the mountains.
a horse, a mule,

in the distance the shelves.
rode three shadows of blue.

and the riverbank talks
of the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart

a stick, a stone,
the end of the load,

the rest of the stump,
a lonesome road.

a sliver of glass,
a life, the sun,

a night, a death,
the end of the run

and the riverbank talks
of the waters of march

it's the end of all strain
it's the joy in your heart

-------------------
i really like this song. hirap i-memorize pero masarap kantahin.
pero hindi ko sure kung March na buwan yun tinutukoy sa song.

tapos dapat Water to Drink ang translation ng title.

kung sino man ang may copy ng original at yun english version na girl ang kumanta, pahingi!

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be."

Robert Fulghum
It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It

----------------------
This is one my favorite articles in the book. It started when he saw several groups of people on the road holding signs and hitching for a ride.

"Anywhere but here"

"Somewhere else and back"

He stopped when he saw the second, intrigued by the sign and liking it at the same time. A group of people joined him in his truck. He asked about the sign and they said they liked it here because it is home. They just wanted to go some place else now. "Have you ever felt that way?", they asked. "Once every week," he replied.

weekend

hmm.. bkt nga ba "weekend" ang tawag sa Sat and Sun samantalang Sunday ang first day of the week?

Saturday - restful

I slept at 3am, so my day began at around 2pm. I took a shower and had lunch at a nearby Chowking. Then, I went to Piandre to try the services they are offering at 50% off the regular price. I think I spent 2 hours for the Hair and Foot Spa. The promo also incuded a back massage for Php 625 (Hair Spa = 650 + Foot Spa = 600). Not bad.

Afterwards, I went to Glorietta and was able to buy a hard bound copy of It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It by Robert Fulghum) at the Diplomat Booksale for only Php150. Not bad.

Fulghum is known for the book "All I Really Need to Know I Learned In Kindergarten" but I haven't read it. I once bought a copy but I gave it as a gift. But I have a copy of his Maybe (Maybe Not) Second Thoughts from A Secret Life which I got from a Gabay Rummage Sale for only Php25. Not bad.

I enjoy reading his writings on simple everyday things. I don't always get his ideas or agree with what he says but they make me think and ponder. His stories make me smile, laugh, teary-eyed, inspired. I hope I can live life like that. I'm trying.

I had burger and fries for dinner at Wendy's then went home (I meant boarding house. There's a big difference.). Keanna Reeves made my day (night) with her quotable quote on PBB.

Keanna while having a dispute with Mich:

"KFC ka kasi... ay, KSP pala." (something like that)


Sunday - painful

Got up from bed around 2pm and immidiaetly took a shower. I was planning to go to the mall to have a late lunch and buy some things. I was about to finish my bath when I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and I started to get dizzy. This was not the first time and I knew it was going to be bad.

I managed to finish my bath and dried myself with the towel. I saw my face in the mirror -- pale and white. Breathing has becomed an effort.

I lied in bed with only a towel wrapped around me. After a while, I got up and got dressed. If I were alone in the room, I could have stayed undressed like that. My roommate woke up and started to talk to me. I can only manage to answer in 2 or 3 words. We've only been roommates for a few months so I tried hard to talk so she won't think I'm rude.

I couldn't stand the pain anymore so I asked her if she had any pain reliever (I have ran out of mefenamic acid). She didn't have any but she was kind enough to buy for me. I haven't eaten anything so I also asked her to get me something to eat, bread or something like that.

I was shaking when she handed me the medicine. I took it, had a small bite of the bread and lied down. God, it was so painful. I wished I would just die (well, half-wished only) but I know it wasn't yet time as no memories came flashing back and I couldn't see any light at the end of a tunnel.

Then, everything went dark and quiet. I don't know if I have lost consiousnes or have fallen asleep. It was already 430pm when I woke up. The pain was gone but I still felt a little light headed.

I have this almost every month. Sometimes the pain won't even let me sleep. So, if you've been burned and hurt in life, love, etc in terms of experience, I probably can't relate but with the pain that comes with it, I probably can.

excerpt from Just Friends by Leah Castaqeda, Manila Standard

nakita ko sa lumang email.. naalala ko tuloy yun hirit na "warm, fuzzy, sunshiny feeling.." :D

Now, take this time out to find out what exactly this woman means to you. If the feeling she gives you is the warm, fuzzy, safe, sunshiny type, then you love her as a friend and clearly, that's all you want. She's definitely your pal, your buddy, your ka-tight, your ka-G.

But if the feeling you have for her inside consumes you, makes your heart pound whenever she's around, tortures you whenever she's not, and makes you slightly insane with the thought of her being with another guy and now that you're apart, has made your heart ache so much you can hardly breathe, pare, you're in love with her.

bored ako

nand2 ako sa nueva at wala kaming cable dahil walang kuryente sa may area nun cable provider. hindi ko alam kung bakit.

buti na lang naayos na yun PC at medyo mabilis na sya ngaun. kelangan ko na din mag-log out maya maya dahil medyo mahal ang per minute (oo, dial-up ito).

isinasama ako nila mama sa bday nun kamag-anak namin. may dumating daw galing Vienna at matagl na syang hindi umuuwi. hindi ko nga sya kilala e. hindi ako sumama at medyo nainis sila sa kin dahil dun. pero ok lang, sanay naman na sila na ayokong sumasama sa ganun.

kelan kaya magkakaroon ng palabas sa tv??? hindi pa naman ako nagdala ng book dahil sabi ko manonood na lang ako ng tv pag-uwi ko. haay..

the ipis killer..

9pm pa lang natulog na ko kagabi. Maaga kasi ang pasok ko this week at late ako nakakatulog noong mga nakakaraang araw. Ok na sana, kaso mga bandang 11pm, nagising ako. Tapos nakita ko na nakatayo yun roommate ko at kausap nya ata yun boyps nya sa fone.

Medyo napapasigaw siya pero pinipigil nya dahil ayaw nya ata ako magising. Tapos sabi nya, "Nagising ba kita? Sorry..."

Bumangon ako at ibinaba nya yun fone.

"May ipis kasi," sabi nya.

Medyo sabog pa ko at disoriented. Takot din ako sa ipis (lalo na pag lumilipad) pero dahil mas takot sya, kailangang maging matapang. hehe

Kumuha ko ng walis tapos inabutan nya ko ng pang-spray. Hindi Baygon, Crocodile ata yun brand. Tapos hawak naman nya yun maliit na desk lamp para ilawan yun ilalim ng kama dahil sumuot dun yun ipis.

Ayun, mukha kaming tanga kagabi. Pati ako napapatili at napapasigaw. Naririning kong tumatawa yun land lady namin sa baba. Tapos ang tagal ng buhay ng ipis. Kahit tinamaan ng walis at ni-spray-an ko na, buhay pa din.

Mga 10-15 minutes siguro kami na ganun. Pero napatay din sya in the end kahit muntik ng maubos yun pang-spray.

Bago matulog ulit, sabi ko sa kanya:

"Pano kung may Mother Ipis pala, tapos magising tayo bigla na kinakalabit ka sa pisngi? Pano kung gantihan nya tayo?"

Sabi nya, "Maghohotel ako ngayon din kahit maubos money ko."

Eurostar [mis]adventure!

I went there last Saturday -- Feb, 4, 2006 with 2 of my HS friends, Rowick and Hanna, and Neil (Han's boyps).


Eurostar Entrance


Flipper -->> Eto yun first ride ko. Maling decision..

Pero ok naman yun Flipper eh. Pikit ka lang saka sigaw, makakaya mo din kahit wala ka ng sense of direction.


5 minutes after ka bumaba na ride, ayan na. Nahihilo ako tapos nag-start na mag-numb yun both hands ko -- as in numb talaga! Hindi ko sya maideretso tapos ang bigat nya. Sunod nyan, yun tiyan ko naman ang nag-start mag-numb. Tapos, may involuntary movement na sa eyeballs ko.

Hirap din ako huminga at akala ko nagkakaroon na ko ng mild stroke.

3o minutes after, tumawag na ng Medic si Rowick. Sa gitna ng madaming tao, kinuha yun BP ko at pulse rate.

Well, hindi ko naman kasi talaga kaya yun ganyan na rides. Nagmagaling lang. hehe

After, 30 minutes ulit, dinala na ko sa clinic kasi hindi pa din ako ok kahit normal ang BP at pulse rate ko.

Nakatulog ako dun. Tapos after an hour, ok na ko (yata). Pero hindi ako makatingin sa mga rides dahil nahihilo ako pag nakikita ko.


sa labas ng clinic after ko bumalik sa normal na kulay


Carousel -->> o di ba, foreigners ulit ang nasa background. Parang wala ako sa Pilipinas.


Hanna and Me, habang nasa carousel. Pero hindi kami sa horse sumakay.


after ng carousel, picture muna with Pauleen Luna. hehehe


Next ride: ang Ferris Wheel (hindi ko lam yun tawag nila dito)


Rowick (the brave and the bold) and Me


view from the top

After nyan sa Log Jam kami sumakay pero walang picture. Fun ang ride na yun!


Ranger -->> parang Anchor's Away pero nag-360 degrees ata to. Hindi ako sumakay jan.


Joker -->> habang natutulog ako sa clinic, sumakay mag-isa si Rowick jan. Grabe, almost 2/3 ata ng Ferris Wheel ang taas nya tapos 360degrees ang ikot (10 times) habang umiikot din yun upuan.

Walang katabi si Rowik sa other end nun sumakay sya dahil hindi daw balanced. When asked kung sumigaw ba sya, ang sbi nya:

"Ang nasabi ko lang ay Oh My God". Ayos!


Booster -->> Habang umiikot yun malaking circle, umiikot din yun small circle tapos yun mismong upuan turns sideways and upside down.

Pagkatapos ng ride, bumalik yun naramdaman ko after ng Flipper (hindi na nadala!). Diretso kami sa Exit para humanap ng taxi dahil kailangan pa pumasok ni Rowick sa office.

Sumakay ako ng jeep sa Guadalupe. Akala ko hindi ako aabot ng Boarding House dahil nahihilo na naman ako. Pag dating sa kwarto, bagsak ako sa kama - nahihilo at namamanhid na naman ang kamay.

After an hour, ok na ulit ko. :)

Pero hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos. Nagigising ako from time to time dahil pakiramdam ko nahuhulog ako.

Isa lang masasabi ko, hindi na ko uulit!

Dr. Miles

I was able to watch Medical Investigation for the first time last night (one of the rare times that I was able to watch tv, nowadays). It's like CSI and House combined.

Dr. Miles caught my attention because he seems familiar. He looks like Mark Bautista! :D

But that wasn't it. I think I've watched him somewhere else.

Towards the end of the show, I finally remembered. He's Harrison in the old series Popular. But I'm not too sure because I remember him as a short guy. He looks taller in Medical Investigation.

I IMDB'ed (haha new term!) him and found out that I was right. I liked him in Popular but I like him more in Medical Investigation.


Christopher Gorham


This is my favorite quote from the show:

[Sam asks her mom if she loves Mike (Brooke's dad), whom she's going to marry, more than her dad .]

Jane: "Love is always different, but it can be just as strong."


------------------------------

Of course once your surfing IMBD you'll be clicking from link after link. Here's some things that I've found out:

Bryce Johnson (Josh Ford in Popular) appeared in 1 episode of Gilmore Girls. He was Lorelei's classmate at Hartford.

Christopher Gorham also appeared in Party of Five. I used to watch this but I can't remember much of the story.

Matthew Fox (Charlie Salinger in Party of Five) is Dr. Jack Shephard in Lost. Sabi ko na nga at familiar sya kahit hindi talaga ako nakakapanood pa ng Lost.

And it goes on and on...

!@#$%^&*()_+

Magsusulat sana ako ng nakakatawang experience kahapon sa Makati Med. Nagpa-xray kasi ako dahil sa TMJ dysfunction (sakit ng mayaman). Kung mahirap ka, jaw lock ang tawag. Pero yun case ko, hindi talaga jaw lock kasi naigagalaw ko naman, yun nga lang masakit. Anyway, wala akong gana na magkwento tungkol dun.

Naiinis kasi ako. Hindi ko sigurado kung malapit na ko magalit. At hindi ko alam kung sa ibang tao o sa sarili ko.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. Tingin ko naipon lang yun mga bagay bagay na nangyari. Ganun kasi ako, mas sensitive sa mga maliliit na bagay. (Mas na-appreciate ko din ang malilit na bagay kaysa sa mga 'big time' na pangyayari.)

Ang nakakainis pa, hindi nyo alam na ganito ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Hindi nyo ata ako sineseryoso e. Pero pwede din naman na ako ang hindi nagte-take into consideration ng side nyo. Ewan.

Pagbigyan nyo na lang sana ko. Hayaan nyo kong magalit, mag-rant, mag-drama.

Hindi pwedeng puro na lang kayo. Ako naman.

Kahit hindi nyo nalalaman. Ok na sa kin yun.


[para sa bumabasa: kung hindi ka maka-relate, hindi ka kasali sa mga taong yan. Ok? Ok. :) ]

one of the boys

Guess this is how it's going to be -- me and the boys.

The Sunnies were supposed to meet up last Saturday night but only Irone, Miguel, Adnan, Ryan, Noemer and me showed up. Someone asked, "Nasan yun iba?" to which I replied, "Sino pa bang hinahanap mo? Eto na yun." Then, we just laughed.

After dinner, Adnan left to attend a friend's birthday party. The five of us went to see Underworld 2. Only me and Miguel were able to watch the first movie but I think the others still enjoyed it.

We went to Metro Walk after the movie and had some drinks at a bar (I forgot the name). Irone got a chance to jam with the band and he played "The Day You Said Goodnight" on the guitar. After a couple of beers, Adnan arrived coming back from the bday party, so we ordered some more (sabi nga, mahaba habang inuman).

The "drinking spree" was followed by coffee at Starbucks where we were able to talk about some serious business. I will not talk about it here, though. Saka na lang pag nagkatotoo na.

Some quotable quotes [pero hindi ko lalagyan ng names. hehe]:

"San tayo kakain?"
"Tara, foodcourt.."
"Foodcourt? Hindi ba kayo pinapasweldo ng kumpanya nyo?"

"Dahil ako lang naman ang medyo babae dito, ako na magmi-mix nyan."

"Any jammer in here?"
"He plays the guitar. [pointing to Irone]"
"Anong tutugtugin ko? [getting up from the table]"
"Wag ka muna tumayo, kunwari ayaw mo.."

"Anong nafi-feel mo na ikaw lang ang babae dito?"
"Ok lang, sanay na. Kayo anong nafi-feel nyo na ako lang ang babae dito?"

"Mahal naman ng beer dito, 36."
"Mas mura dun sa kabilang table, 35 lang."
[akala nya price yun table number. may picture kasi ng beer]

isipin mo na lang

Sung by: Bayang Barrios
Composed by: Mike Villegas
From the album: ALON

Nangangamba ka ba
Na ngayong malayo ka
Ako kaya ay magbago

Hinahanap ko ba sa iba ang ligaya
Ngayong tayo'y magkalayo

Manatili't huwag matinag
Sa pag-ibig mo ay bihag
Ang puso kong ito

Isipin mo na lang, ang ating samahan
At ang pag-ibig ko sa 'yo
Isipin mo na lang, ang ating samahan
At ang pag-ibig ko sa 'yo

Isipin mo na lang, ngayong natagpuan
Tunay na magmamahal sa akin
At ang nag-iisang hadlang
Ay ang pansamantalang paghihintay
Ba't di ko gagawin

Manatili't huwag matinag
Sa pag-ibig mo ay bihag
Ang puso kong ito

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko gusto yun song na ito. Napaka-moving nya para sa akin. Siguro dahil sa pagkakakanta.

Tapos, hindi ko din alam kung bakit sya theme song sa Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maxi. Kailangan ba related sa movie ang kanta?

my Keyboard is French

kaninang umaga sa phone:

Behrang (client from France): How do I get the quotes in Euro currency?

Ava: Here's the formula: Type in x, that would represent any stock you have in the series field, and then open parenthesis. Type P, that would be the datatype for Price, and then close parenthesis. After that, put a tilde sign and then E. [basically, it's x(P)~E]

Behrang: What's that? Can we start all over?

Ava: Ok. (then I repeated what I just said)

Behrang: What's a tilde sign?

Ava: That would be beside number 1 in the keyboard. Just press Shift..

Behrang: I'm using a French keyboard..

Ava: [after a few seconds] ooh.. Is that different?

Behrang: Yes..

Ava: Ooh.. Maybe I can just send you an email.

Behrang: Could you please do?

3 years old na sya bukas.

Nakakatawa kasi college na ko nun ipinanganak sya kaya hindi nya ko nakikita palagi. Tapos, pag umuuwi ako dati, nagtataka sya kung sino ako. Tinitigan nya lang ako ng matagal. At madalas ayaw nya sumama sa kin.

Syempre, ngayon ok na kami. hehe
