mood swings...

i gather i woke up at the wrong side of the bed today... why? well, my ever-so-reliable internal clock wakes me up at around 7 or 8am and then my not-so-reliable-mind makes my organs malfunction and makes me go back to sleep; thus, waking up and seeing the digits 9:44am on my celphone digital clock. "FREAK!!!! i woke up late... AGAIN!!!" good thing the first message i saw was from teddy, telling me that there were no classes today. woop-de-doo! and i was going to get the height measurements of m404 for my tecdra2 wall plan due next tues. so, no classes today = no measurements = no wall plan = no tecdra plate. o well, least there's still tomorrow and monday.. oi, cramming sessions start again...

i finished reading "the queen of everything" by deb caletti yesterday... i actually finished it by around 4 or 5 hours and 2 monumento to vito cruz LRT rides :) 372 pages... for a person who hasn't read a pocketbook for i-dunno-how-many-months now, the record isn't that bad :) hahaha :) well, it was actually a pretty good book.. full of swears and curses though.. but it was basically a pretty normal american teenage book. liked a lot lines in the book, but these were the two lines that struck me the most.

* "It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up like lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package."

* "They're waiting for you... all the people who love you."

we also watched "immotal beloved" for our mustud class yesterday... it's a classic. beethoven's death wish was to give his compositions to his immortal beloved, sending his secretary into a journey to beethoven's past... :) beethoven was actually a sweet fellow :) he was deaf, but he was sweet :)

* there will be no peace without the truth...

o well, till here... everyone seems so stressed out lately... can't wait for the break... really... i wanna leave this place, even just for a while...

plus, did you know that someone i cared for before actually deleted me in his friendster account? haha :) the last time i deleted a person in my account was for the sake of forgetting about him, but i added him again. hahaha :) stupid me. but this person was way weird.. well, he does have a point cuz we seem to live in different planets when we see each other in the school hallways... but hmm, he does have a point :) and well, acc. to dane... some men are just like that. they have their own reasons. maybe his reason was that he didn't want me to get hurt (knowing that i liked him before). maybe he just didn't want to become cold and selfish, saying things and knowing that it hurt me. maybe that was his reason. he just didn't want to see me hurt. yes, maybe that was it. :) that was what dane said.. he's a guy after all. i know i'm making these reasons up for even the gift of friendship wasn't given to me. and for this, i chose to believe dane. it might be the only thing to keep me sane and to keep me from doing the wrong things, both past and present... and we all know, some mistakes are never forgiven nor forgotten. these mistakes are usually committed in the journey called love.

sda building... our building :)

long day i had today... long, but fun :) totally fun! :) believe it or not, i officially stepped on the grounds of our soon-to-be building a while ago... yes, the sda (school of design and arts, for those who don't know) building! :) 14 floors (without the 13th floor, superstitious beliefs) and a whole new view of what people call "school" :) it was way cool!!! :) we had to wear hard hats (white ones) cuz the building wasn't done yet and for safety precaution :) i'll try to upload our picture (we were at the 14th floor, open space pa) next time.. :) the picture is with hana.. i'll ask it from her tomorrow ( I GOT MY CELPHONE BACK!! YIPEE!!! :) haha)... plus, you could actually see a wide span of manila from the top floor :) you could actually see the buildings in makati (rcbc, the glass buildings, and a whole lot more) you could even see two buildings from alabang! (acc. to hana, but those two buildings were really far).. you could even see mountains!! i'm not joking, mountains!!!! in the north, i saw two familiar buildings, both located in bambang, and a whole lot of other buildings! :) and more mountains as well! :) as in!!! our new building is THAT COOL!!!! :) and we were one of the first few students to step into it!!!! :) waaaah!!!! :)

the hallways and classrooms were W-O-W. the walls of the classrooms that were in the hallways (gets? hehe) were shaped like that of a gallery, so we can exhibit art works there :) totally cool!!! heaven sobra!!! :) hahaha :) i swear i went gaga over the new building.. and the photography room... hands down!!!! :) hahaha :) i guess i won't be taking my fotogra class until we move to the new building :) hahaha :) it's THAT good tlga :) and the rooms were huge!!! :) plus, we have a big LRC (7th and 8th floor, if i'm not mistaken) :) totally WOW. :) believe me, i can't find words to express how amazed i was and am with our new building :)

i can't say how fortunate we techthe students are to have sir jay as our professor!! we love him!!! :) thanks to miss alfon for bringing him back! we love her too! :) hehehe :) they're really the best professors i've ever had!!!! totally cooL!!! :) the best! :)

i can't wait to move to our new building... rumor says we're going to move in this december :) i just hope it comes true.. well, i do hope we move in a bit earlier :D let's say, 2nd term of this coming school year? :) hehehe :) o well, can't do much except wait :) i just hope the outcome becomes as nice as how i imagine it to be right now :) hope nothing changes :)

and the sda building surely is a DESIGN and ARTS building :) where have you ever seen a school like our sda building? :) hehehe :) love it :)

some kind of ordinary... :)

finally, it's the weekend.. :) had most of our midterm exams last week, and it sure was a hell week for me :) hehe :) glad it's over... glad to have survived it :) hehe

unwinded (or is it unwound?) a bit yesterday when i watched a movie with my mum and younger sister :) we were supposed to watch firewall, but the next showing time was kinda late, so we decided to watch pink panther instead :) it was one hilarious movie... a great stress -reliever :) it's a must-see movie :) love steve martin's role! hahaha :) a good movie for laughs :)

finally got myself to watch constantine a while ago :) hahaha :) i always chickened out after the scene wherein the filipina shouted, "papatayin natin sila!" but found courage to watch the rest of it a while ago :) and must i say that it was a wow-movie. as in! :) hehe :) i loved it! wonder why i chickened out the last couple of times... but as in! that movie really got to me... it was plain wow. hehe :)

well, hmm. just a few quotable quotes i've heard these days...

* memories are a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with them [from Before Sunset]

* being alone is better than sitting beside your lover and being lonely [from Before Sunset]

* thinking you've found true love, when it hasn't found you [lyrics of I Could]

* I could be the one to hold you; I could be the one you need; but I can never be the one to give you everything [lyrics of I Could]

* you always say that you're happy when you're with him, but how about him? is he happy when he's with you? [steffen's words... ouch! hehe]

* i think you should get over him... (...cuz he's already gotten over you...) [migs's words, except the (...) part :) hehe.. double ouch!]

* always together, forever apart [line from The Notebook]

* you only pass through this stage once [words of sir jay during our midterm exam]

* learn to let go [words of sir jay when we didn't want to let go of our midterm exam]

* but don't give up that easily [words of sir jay when he saw the look of defeat on our faces]

the sweetest thing...

the sweetest thing happened to me today... :) with my shobe... :)

after eating dinner, i went with her to the study room and she gave me a card... :) it was something she did during their values education class :)

Today I learned from our Values class the need to admit my mistakes
"I am sorry" Dichi for fighting you every day.
Please forgive me.
Regretfully,
Eizel

the words typed in blue font are the words she wrote in the card.. :) her exact words... it was uber touching... really... felt guilty for having arguments with her almost every day of my life... i'm really fortunate to have a sister like her... :) though we fight almost regularly, we seem to patch things up quite easily as well... :) hahaha :) that's just how sisters are :)

love her very much... :) love both my sisters very much :) lucky to have them both... :) and weird enough, i guess i was meant to be the middle child :) God has his reasons why i was put in the middle; guess i'm finally realizing why my life was meant to be this way :) got the chance to be an achi (big sister) and a shobe (little sister) at the same time :) cooL! :)

though the picture was kinda cool :) shot it with mom's digicam.. and look at what came out :) hahaha :) 'das a picture of my shobe dearest :) though blurry, i like the effect :P hahaha :) me and my weird likings to weird stuff :) and i am supposed to be studying right now... :) haha :)

peace out! :)

hassle..

my 6600 has betrayed me... it broke down yesterday... actually, it was my fault since my celphone slipped from my fingers and reached the oh-so-heavenly floor with a thud. ouch!

my phone was locked.. and to unlock it, you had to press a button before the asterisk, right? well, that button didn't want to budge. it didn't work. imagine this: all buttons were working except for that button. and there was no alternative; i couldn't unlock my phone. and, well, i still can't unlock my phone since it's already with nokia care... *sniff sniff*

it was really weird because i realized how important a button that button is. without that, the whole phone can't function. just because of me locking my celphone.

7 people texted me yesterday night until morning a while ago... yes, i'm that excited about receiving text messages --> pathetic, i know... hahaha :) but do you know the feeling that that someone just might text you when you least expect him to? well, that's how i felt... i was really irritated since i couldn't see who texted me... and 7 messages.. really now... who could those texters be? hehehe :) bad thing is that i won't get to know who texted me... not now, not ever.... :(weird.. when my cel was ok, no one texted me.. and now that it's down, seem to be receiving more texts than usual :) hahaha :)

cel's with nokia care right now... the girl said to be back in 3 weeks at the least :( waaah!!!! something to do with them going to change the parts and going to REFORMAT my cel... huwhat?! good-bye contacts... good-bye text messages... good-bye schedule... :(( text messages!!!! waaah!!! i saved a lot of 'em!!! and it's now good-bye... :( argh!!!!!!

even his messages are gonna be gone... his messages that were super sweet for me that i've read them for i-don't-know-how-many-times-already... messages that were my memories of him... messages that were worth reading over and over again... and you wouldn't get tired of reading it... precious messages... all gone... gone... g-o-n-e...

gone. o.m.g. :(( waaah!!!! is this a sign?! stop thinking of him; get a grip; don't wish for things that won't happen at all because it hurts pretty damn much... i know, making a big issue out of nonsense... but come on, you can't blame a girl for wondering... is it a sign? is my cel telling me to let go of him? yes, that's how well my bond with my cel is... and now, it's being reformatted...

my schedules... gotta remind myself to keep schedules in a planner and not on the cel phone... waah!!!!

i dunno.. it's weird.. there's this quote i received from ahia han (i think...), goes something like this: "i have a mission to fulfill... to forget about you, not think about you, not talk about you, and not care about you at all. in short, mission impossible." sweet noh? :) hahaha :) well, what can i say? is this quotation actually applying to me in reality?

i've promised myself, like, a thousand times that i won't text him or message him, but i DID.. take note!! past tense!!! :) hahaha :) after like 2 ym messages and 2 texts, i decided to NOT DO ANYTHING anymore. and i did; nothing happened :) hahahaha :) didn't receive any message or text or anything as a matter of fact from him... i'm not saying that he should text or whatever because a part of me honestly knew that he wouldn't. guess there was just something called 'a glimmer of hope' that stayed within me for the past weeks..

it hasn't been long since i've promised myself to shut my mouth up when every single conversation i'm gonna have with my friends will be about him... do you know the feeling that when someone doesn't do something in that short while he has, he probably won't do anything about it for the rest of his life? well, that's how i feel right now...

and well, i'm proud to say that i THINK i've not mentioned him to my friends for about a week or so already :) as in him-free topics tlga! :) well, until now... hahahaha :)

well, i didn't promise that i wouldn't let my feelings out every now and then in my blog... hahaha :) i dunno.. it's weird... i don't even see him anymore (when we saw each other before, sadyang kita yun...) in short, we're incommunicado... (did i use that word correctly? hahaha)

oh well, enough grief for today...

oh yeah... God bless the souls of those people who were at ultra yesterday... stampede's can kill people... and it chose to kill Filipinos... a four-year old was killed too... what's happening to the world nowadays? tsk tsk tsk...

it's creepy; it's scary; it's reality

someone actually killed someone then committed suicide at mcdo taft a while ago... as in!!! well, i didn't get the chance to see that action, but it was mau's first sentence when she arrived in class. she went something like, "$!&@, may nagpakamatay sa mcdo!"

rumor says that it was a manager and an asst. manager vying for the same position. it was the asst. manager (guy) who shot the manager (girl) INSIDE MCDO then climbed up to the roof and shot himself. talk about drama in life.

however, when we heard the news, that became the central topic of conversation. you could hear reactions like, "what happened?" or "grabe naman yun..." or "i'll never eat at mcdo taft again!" the best reaction, however, was, "cool!!!" i know, i know.. we're a sadistic block... but hey, it's true... if you think about it, if the guy WAS a personnel, how did he enter mcdo with a gun in his possession?! and he's got guts to do that in front of a lot of students, man! we're talking of dlsu, csb, st. scho, and whatever school students eating there. how did he barge in mcdo with a gun and shoot his colleague?!

the creepy thing was that mcdo was just across the street... it was reality. it happened! now, that freaks the hell out of me. due to class, i didn't get the chance to see the site itself after the incident, but knowing the fact that 'it' happened made me shiver.

guess the golden arches aren't so golden anymore...

dunno what to say, but God bless the souls of the those two people who died today.
he didn't know what he was doing, taking the life of a woman who was worth knowing.
weird it happened just across the street, thought things like this happened only in movies.
killing and dying for the sake of dignity, this is the world... creepy and scary... heck, it's reality.

well, good news is that i saw some of my high school batch mates a while ago :) hehe :) janelle, sob, abbey, clarice, tiso, and yanyan :) been a long while since i've seen them... they went to csb to watch a fashion show; guess what, jeri's part of that fashion show daw.. he's a model! naks! :) too bad i didn't get the chance to watch it... couldn't stay long anymore... :) hehehe :) but it was nice seeing them again :)

peace out! :)

* what i've written on the mcdo taft issue is based purely on hearsay.. so i'm not saying that all of it is true.. as i've said, i wasn't there when it happened, so forgive me if there are errors.. :) hehe :) if you want the real deal, you can check the inquirer web site or better yet, wait for tomorrow's news :)

i just read alvin's blog a while ago... alvin's one of my cynical high school friends whom i love very much for his honesty, humor, and bluntness :) i envy his writing skills... the green-eyed monster attacks again... grrr... hahaha :) i dunno but his blog never fails to cheer me up :)

one thing i learned today was to never hide from the people you don't want to see... believe me, my hiding didn't actually help me that much :) you see, there's this lambanog thing; it's a digital film.. and i was supposed to help out last weekend.. problem was it was chinese new year so i had no way of going there... believe me, there was no out! after that, i felt guilty for leaving the crew in the middle of nowhere.. so i decided to hide from the crew people who were in CSB... bad luck, man! actually, i hid quite well at first... but then...

i met sir pao, our director, at the school cafeteria.. worst case scenario, man.. he was with ms. alfon (our chairperson) and sir jay (our professor)... even worse was that i was supposed to be at ccp by that time (2pm) for sir jay's class!!! waaa!!! actually, sir pao was the one who called my attention... i swear i froze in place when i saw him.. i only managed to say, "sir pao! [turned and eyes widened] ms. alfon! [owl-like eyes now] sir jay!!!" and the next thing i heard sir jay say was, "late ka na ah!" talk about LUCK!!! waaaa!!!!! hahaha :)

but in the end, we (rug, han, and me) hitched a ride in sir jay's car... didn't have a way to ccp... they (rug and han) were pushing each other, one forcing to other to sit in the front seat... and yes, the moment of judgement came... and guess who got the front seat? oh yes, the silent one... ME. ( -_-' )

my, ehem, hiding adventure did not end there... i saw ate shing at the student publications office (spo) a while ago... i turned my back at once and our whiteboard suddenly seemed to be such a beautiful board, such nice to look at :) hahaha :) then when ate shing left, i was relieved... but yes, my stomach betrayed me and i had to go to the cafeteria with hannah to grab some food... (yesh... food is my savior, my love, and my weakness...)

and boo! i saw ate shing! actually, she saw me... ate shing went, "eunice! musta ka na?" and the only thing i managed to say was, "ate shing! buhay pa po! [blood draining from my face]" oookay... strike 2... ( -_-' )

i hope to God almighty that that won't happen to me EVER AGAIN... i am not going to hide from anyone from this moment on... or better yet, if i AM going to hide from them, NEVER STEP FOOT IN THE CAFETERIA FOR AS LONG AS I CAN HANDLE IT... :) hahaha :) o well, c'est la vie... but yeah, i really wanted to go to the lambanog thing... grrr... chinese new year [eyes flash] but hey, chinese new year comes only once a year... at least i got to spend it with my family, aiyt? :) hehehe :) wonder if there'll be another shoot for lambanog.. really wanna make up for what i missed... hmm...

lesson learned: never hide from someone; face the truth/consequences; don't go to the caf since it's the place where you'll most likely bump into the person you're hiding from...

and then go back to lesson number 1: never hide from anyone. Fate just won't allow you to.

keep that in mind.

register.

got it.

today just isn't one of my better days...
