intern thing and bumpdate!

  • May 4, 2009
  • Post a comment

a quick update! I'm on my second week of internship at PAL now. Got a little more than 3 weeks left. I'm missing my summer! This is the worst vacay ever! I'd never expect to be doing some odd job during summer. Sure being a barista is a dream summer job for me  but this? And I'm not even receiving allowances for the internship thing too! I feel that I'm getting lazier and lazier every day. LMAO.

But!

I've bought a new book today! XD Yey! Another David Levithan book! Wide Awake, it's called. :D I already have Boy Meets Boy, which btw, took me loooong to find on bookstores. And I've read Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Mind you, the book is much better than the movie, but then again, isn't it always?

I also bought a comic book called Zha Zha Zathurna. It's a philippine publication which is awesome! It's about a gay hairdresser who discovers a stone that, when he swallows he become a super hero. It's a parody of Darna, another philippine publication which is very popular - it's somewhat like Wonderwoman but she ain't no amazon woman.

As all would know, I'm a sucker for gay romance. So yeah. I'm really really excited aboout reading Wide Awake!!! :D

See you later, yeah? I'm being lazy on updating my blog! T.T

ETA: omg!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians' last book will be out in  two hours!!! LOVES!!

half a month update

BAH... We had our defense last last week and the verdict? REDEF. Which is ok by me, btw but too taxing... LMAO So we proposed a different thesis topic, still in the field of tracking but...

ANYWAY, we're supposed to give our thesis proposal this wednesday so still cramming... We have a test in CT-Math on saturday, hopefully I do remember my calculus and trig for that...

HUUUMMMM.... Eda, Mac, Kelly and I watched Shopaholic uhm... was it *checks planner* oh it was the 28th. We also watched John Lloyd's and Sarah's sequel movie which i cannot remember the title. LMAO It was UGH! I wish I didn't waste money type of movie. But what the hell. Shopaholic was SOOOOOOO WONDERFUL!!!

I also watched Watchmen last weekend and it was such a crappy movie, IMO. I know Allan Moore, the author of Watchmen, is a bit sensual and everything, but they didn't have to like do that in the movie. Who the hell wants to see Dr.Manhattan's uncircumcised cock? In BLUE!! DAMMIT! MY EYES!!! THE HORROR!!!!

some kind of update

  • Jan 22, 2009

So I've been busy. "busy". With school and stuff. The first three weeks of school was woah. I get up 5-ish Mondays thru Wednesdays and go home like 9pm or something except on Tuesdays where I only have my lab class. But it's good enough for me if it means not having classes 4 days a week. Which, btw, would be changed since our professor (and the class) for that 7.40- 9pm class decided to move it to a more "convenient" time, morning-ish on Saturdays. 3 hours of math. God help me.

But anyway, aside from the obvious excruciating pain that school bring, I'm pretty much still a bum. Well I did meet with patroy a couple of times this past few weeks. She gave me my yearbook and we went to RP to eat at TOSH, then Lexy babes had her despedida lunch at Gloria Jean's in Eastwood which was totally awesome. I miss them so much. Haarrrhhh.. So I did some major spending this week and I'm  hanging on to my last five hundred bucks for the whole week.

I dyed my hair red. BTW. It looks so awesome now. But I get to only wash it like 3 times, twice a week. I'm a bit afraid that I'll wash out the color too soon and wash my 1.5k worth of money down the drain. Huuh. So that's why I'm a bit tight on the pocket.

Aside from that, I've been hanging around my bedroom and my parent's bedroom. Like just lying on the bed and either listening to audiobooks or reading fanfiction or just dozing off. I'm pretty much a pig nowadays, pretty soon I'm going to look like one I'd wager.

 After doing SOME thought about it, I decided to write. DECIDED not meaning writing already. But yeah. Hopefully I would have that pretty soon. Just need that lil ol plot bunny to start a kickin'. But alas, I do think that it'll be some time waaay off the sooner. I'm pretty out of it with the thesis proposals and all.

OMG. I'm already starting my thesis. T.T Bummer. But yay? IDK. GAH. I'm having my internship this summer and I still have no clue what the hell I'm going to do when I do get an internship at some company.

BAH. I'd rather bask in the present. Like listening to audiobooks or reading fanfictions. You know, the usual stuff. Procrastination. My own brand of heroin. Cool.

new year's resolution?

  • Jan 1, 2009
  • Post a comment

I don't Have one... Not one that's THAT drastic. But I did delete my friendster account just a second ago. A spur of a moment thing or what, but I can't really undo that so yeah. I feel no remorse or guilt for it too.

Here's some resolution I intend to keep AT LEAST for a while, maybe a month or two, or even a week. LMAO

  • Save money
  • Save enough money a month to buy books
  • Put up a savings account
  • Do sports or something
  • Stop procrastinating
  • Survive my last 3rd term as a 3rd year

The Best and the worst of 2008

  • Dec 29, 2008
  • Post a comment

Since there's only a few days left for the year I decided to make a recap of the best things I have done, encountered, etc for this year!


Category Movies
from this site http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article3172078.ece

For best Movie, Transformers would always pop on my mind but since it was released last year, it didn't make the cut. I'm debating on IronMan, The Dark Knight, and Wanted. Yes, they're all action packed films and they're all AWESOME! HellBoy on the other hand was a pinch away from being the worst movie, if not for Twilight.
Worst movie of the year - Twilight (Yes, there is no mistake!), I know there's another one but I just can't pin point it, Twilight here seemed to glow the most in the dark. LMAO
Funniest movie would either be Zohan or Get Smart depending on what, because the Get Smart dude was totally funny even though he's doing nothing.
The Best Thriller would be.. The Eye, and Having a thriller/horror story as a category was even more shocking since I do not like HORROR movies.
For the Chick Flick genre, well I'd wager Mama Mia, but 27 dresses sure made me teary eyed.
Wall E
is the best animated movie for this year, although Bolt was cute and all, Wall E made me go awwww.

Category TV Series

Since I myself has been closeted from the world of television series this year, and with the American Writers Guild or whatnot having their strike over, I must say, there's only a few I could name that I have liked.
Supernatural and Prison Break are definitely at the top list. Heroes on the other hand, let's just say my relationship with the series have waned. 90210 looks promising, but at the same time a bit cliche with Gossip Girl on the block, but it does give the variety. House, MD will be with Supernatural and Prison Break.
And I would definitely want to watch The Office and Ghost Whisperer even if I am a bit spooked by the later one. Queer as Folk would be in my to watch series this year. And the most awaited one too.

Category Books

My most favorite Series would be Holly Black's Tithe, Valiant, and Ironside.
The Least favorite one, but still able to finish series would be Twilight.
The Most awaited novel would be David Levithan's Boy Meets Boy
and then the most touching would be Tuesdays with Morrie which I have just read this year.

Category Music
 
Paramore would be my favorite band this year.
But Chopin's Nocturne No. 15 would be the most awesome music I've heard this year.
Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl is my Ultimate LSS
and The Tingtings' That's not my name is the Beat worthy.

Category Games

Patapon 2 is my most appreciated game.
World of Goo is my most favorite
and the game I'm most obsessed about and still unable to play would be Red Alert 3.

Category Events

The Most Historical Event would be Barak Obama's Win.
The Most Infuriating Event is the Oil price
The Most unworthy Event is Manny Pacquiao's win against DelaHoya
The Most memorable would be my Debut.
 And the Most worthy would be completing my Misa de aguinaldo.

The damn thing went haywire and my post suddenly disappeared.

I'm too lazy to even attempt to rewrite those things I wrote. Suffice to say, I'm trying to download some audio books hoping that I would finish listening to it.

I also found myself a copy, AT LAST, of David Levithan's Boy Meets Boy. I have yet to finish it, but I'll surely write a review once I have.
