All in a Day's Work

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Isipin mo na lang: kung gumagawa kami ng paraan para pigilan deck mo, malakas nga deck mo"

This is one of the times na it's annoying to be great. I get a dam good math LT mark (pero hindi na perfect. constantly increasing acceleration not equal to constant acceleration!), but just less than siya sa total of the 3 around me. Plus the fact na naaasar na si jeri (at gab?) na mataas LT marks ko. Lagi akong bothered whenever I succeed and those around me fail. Is it really my problem? What can I do naman? I do what I can to help them, clarify some things, kaya lang kulang pa eh... (though yung kay vj, super mental lapse lang talaga) I won't resort to helping them cheat, mind you, pero I hope na I can really help them.

3rd to the last tutoring session na kanina. At matino na uli ako magturo. Problem nga lang, I still can't handle emotional breakdowns. Ngayong patapos na kami, na mukhang ok na, iiyak pa si julius. I know I should have done something before that happened pero... dammit... I hope next week goes well...

and some cards news: andami na rin palang bagong pokemon cards... the gayotness of my b/r can be stopped... babs fears hosers :)... being whooped by a cloud of fairies is a sight to behold XD

All Over the Place

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Hero Sieging in Binondo ups the difficulty a bit"

We went from home to Manila to Binondo to Cubao to the outskirts of Mandaluyong and back, with a stop-over sa admu and UP in just 7hrs. Commuting. Astig.

UST results are out. Pasok ako both Chem and Chem Eng. Why am I not surprised? (no really, bakit kaya wala man lang akong excitement or anything?) and yes, trip uli down memory lane for mom ang pagbalik nya sa beloved alma mater niya. Kaso naligaw kami palabas haha!

We visited din Ate Ina sa Metropolitan Hospital (or should I say hotel? ang gandaaaaaa!!!) She's fine after her operation. She's always fine, always smiling and joking :) Good for her :)

Then we treked binondo for some dimsum. Kain sa President... dam good dimsum and yangchow fried rice! and aliw na dragon dancers, though parang as annoying as carolers sila haha!

as for mandaluyong? we watched bro's abl game. Panalo na dapat eh... oh well... fun :) (some sightings: cute girl in pink with cute chiuaua also in pink; ma'am katz cheering some math teacher... and more; faiva look-alike! haha! chismiiis na to!)

In relation sa quote above, I only got 4. Masyadong pure kasi yung mga nandun, and not as... nice... Goes to show that the pure breeds aren't always better than the hybrids.

Good Enough

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Confidence"

My big letdown today: I passed up an open shot, I forgot the putback and I almost wasted a lay-up. At least I recovered. It's a different ballgame when you're with a good pointguard: makes everyone else better, me included.
(pointguard not equal to player, I would like to clarify...)

Our demo seemed good. Flashy enough yet medyo simple lang. At hindi na yung power-rangers thing. May minor sablays, pero ok lang (aliw/kawawa rin yung na-tombstone sa capo haha!). And I learned a few things: hindi na uli namin gagawin yun, undergrads na bahala next year at masarap bumagsak sa judo mats! And yes, may free food and free glowing-spike-ball/portable rave party!!!

The classical concert was OWNAGE! yung guitarist and jr on violins, yung solo violinist, yung Glee Club, tapos si Josh Padla!!! syet grabe... bow down!!! mabilis magshift ng daliri, end to end sa bridge, iba-ibang tempo ng kanta... did I mention na halos pure plucking lang siya? my gad! The glee club was also dam good. Real strong kanina, lalo na sa bass (which coincidentally has 4 of the Aboys). Magaling...

And some last shots: yurnero is gayot, guardian angel is more gayot, axe really looks like yurnero, ceddie was with his, miggy was with maia, mike was with his, lonely at nakakagutom ang security duty, I still dread the colt being trained by talampas... Mr Miranda and Ms Aldana was all over the fair, 4-3 lang record ng boros ni zo vs black/red ko, with him leading - most defeats were from landlessness

Truth be Told

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Video killed the radio star"

Yey! Panalo si Pacman! We had unity for a few hours! Walang kotse o traffic o tao sa kalye! Walang pasoooook!!! (I wish!)

For some reason, after Pacman won... hindi ako naexcite... Must be from all those friggin ads. 5min ads in between rounds per fight. DAMMIT!!! The asar of knowing the result before seeing it was nothing compared to a gazillion ads. Hate it...

More asar is when an LT could have been, just maybe, perfected... then there's the dam mental lapse. Right logic, right solution... wrong answer! putik...

Things were a bit cold at the dinner table. Misunderstanding + miscommunication + neither stepping down = shivers. Palagay ko that's the problem a lot of us have. Hindi nagkakaintindihan and ayaw makipag-usap. Too proud to stand down. So away and/or silent treatment (na a lot more scarier) Weirdest thing na nangyari - bro went out of his way to the downstairs cr, rather than the master bedroom cr, to avoid momy. Oh boy...

Adrenalin Rush

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Enzo + Raf + Berba on techies is... P***"

My theory that video games are medicinal has a new support. From tues to thurs morning I was feeling sick. Sore throat + feeling cold + headache... *brrr* Then dota 130-7, movie, then all night comp kina zo, tapos dota/hero siege in the morn. Now I feel like a new man! No colds, no headache, little sore throat. wow!

The overnight at zo's was ill! Pa-bwisitan sa dota maghapon, the nood Underworld sa gabi, then ps2/pokemon/my sassy girl all morning. Oh yeah! May natulog ng matagal, may maikli lang, pero masaya naman lahat (we got your back, tej!) And yes, I was perfectly awake the whole morning. Pag-uwi nga lang, tulog 130-830 lol! Bawi kagad ng tulog hehe. tnx zo

Neglected

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"We only got until the end of time to change the world"

Ripple effect - late ako natulog nung monday = tulog ako sa hapon tues and kanina = late na ako nakagawa ng hw and stuff = late din ako natulog tues and mamaya. Sucks maaan... I'm feel that I'm gonna get sick sooner or later. I hope not. Bilang na lang araw ko sa HS. Konting push na lang...

Dapat pala nanood din ako ng intrams... Last game na pala namin kanina...

What a sad sight. Pag-uwi ko kanina, sinalubong ako nina Kit nd Poknat (doggies namin), tumatakbo away from the work sa likod namin. Si poknat, usual na tarantang takbo. Si kit... nakakaiyak... Para bang nawawala, nalulungkot. Wala na yung wagging tail o panting tongue. Just pitiful sobra, nakakaiyak nga. When I knelt down and patted his head, para bang hindi na rin nya ko kilala... To think na matagal na sya dito pero rarely ko lang sya nilaro... Whata waste...

Finding a Scrap of Meaning

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"If they fall off, they fall off"

5-1. damn... The bitter taste still lingers in my mouth. Dun sa 5 goals nila, 2 through me. Ok na sana eh, mga 3/4 of the 1st half 0 all pa. Then boom, bumrushed... After the 1st goal, the door was wide open... Nothing to be ashamed of, actually. Good game, mas malakas lang talaga sila. Kaya lang... aargh... I always end up blaming myself a lot, kahit na konti lang kinalaman ko... Pero tama si Pao, buti na ngayon kami nalaglag kesa deep into the tourney na. Mas heartbreaker yun. Mas hindi ko mapapatawad sarili ko...

Brightsides to this: less than half their goals were through me, hindi clean-sheet yung kalaban na keeper, no more intrams hassle (no more intrams for me either...) at may support uli yung theory ko - skill first before heart, because heart without skill would take you nowhere

Today is my last Utopia login for a looong time. Getting jaded na kasi ako, hindi na masyado lumiligaya whenever I play. A badly needed break, to get back the time I've spent on this game, to re-prioritize whatever it is I need to prioritize. Looking back, I had a good time in that kd. Unforgetable people, glorious times, humbling experiences. Lessons were learned, pero I won't say that Utopia made me a better man. It did give me a reason to go online... So
marky, scott, languine, roost... Nice to have played with you guys. See ya when I see ya!

BTW, 2nd one-man Roshan kill ko kanina. Yurnero, lvl25, may buriza, threads, S&Y, butterfly and rapier. mga 90% ng attacks, 1k critical hit. Few hits, tapos omnislash. Tapos ang laban.
ye...

Friday the 13th

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame..."

Malas daw mga tao today. A very unlucky day for those who believe in it. Ako, medyo naniniwala sa luck and coincidence and stuff. The worst pa lang na nangyari today is the dam CAT. Dam stiffs, nagiging siryoso na uli sila, asar... Papakitang-gilas sa higher-ups. Bullshit. Plus yung walang kwentang talk kanina. Not the talk mismo, I have high regard for old people lalo na if they do a lot for the community. OK sana yung talk ni kap, pero takte naman yung soundsystem... Napakahina, nasa likod ng stage, isa lang tapos may mga naglalaro pa sa likod ng courts. Ironic pa na may naghahakot ng mga large speakers and stuff right beside us. Couldn't they have planned this any better??? whata waste...

Physically taxing week had past... 3days may intrams (though sa isa lang ako naglaro), college training nung mon, plus 12am bedtime kagad... haaay... thanks for the weekend...

Pick Your Shots

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Rest when you're dead"


The new year is going smoothly naman. For some reason most things are going right. At least, sa first 2 weeks, o the first month. After this, hindi ko na alam. Biglang dadami yung papagawin, hihirap yung load, mapapasuko ako... Ngayon pa nga lang, 12am sleep na uli ako eh. At least for the better siya. Less cram in the morning, more work at night. Bad side is, pagod at bugbog na kagad ako. Heart can only get you so far, you also need the physical tools and skill for it. I only have the 2nd part...

Mr Banal is reborn into Jahsper! (de Leon) Not sa kinakabahan siya magturo sa amin, pero sabog uli yung mga lessons eh. Hindi sumusunod sa LP ni Dator, amboring magturo, nagpapatawang hindi. Waaaah!!! Mam Dator, nasan ka na?!?

Grinder of a day tom. Not much sleep ngayon (plus arnis kanina, and hindi pa nawawala yung effects of monday training), then 2 soccer games bukas... Hindi nga ako matitibag, pero sobrang slowed-down lang

The Door's Open

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"Can you say top 2%?"

Raise your hand if you're a BS psycho! I am! May college na ko!!! Ansaya pa nung mix of people - kim, bebe, babs, jb, kari - to say the least XD Never really expected to get in this course, tapos dir's list pa! (may bonus ba yun?) Happy and excited and thankful and proud and scared and hoping and praying and OMG and WTF and OWNING!!! at the same time. Not to be mayabang or anything, pero UST is now out of the picture. Pagdating naman ng UP results... ayun, another headache... Whatever you want for me God, I'll take it. Binigay mo lahat to me to do what I do and reach where I am now. Salamat...

For those na wala sa list, rye and gabz... I sure hope and pray you've got something up your sleeve. Hate to see you floating around, lost and all. It's a dam waste to see such potential na bigla na lang masasayang... Good luck, sobra...

Today caps a very good "week". Perfect math LT, winning sa magic uli, 10+ dun sa trick quiz ng physics, almost no TD, nothing big yet to do. Ahhh...

Perfect Take-Off

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"We really love our teachers, no?"

Ayun, back to school kanina. Hangover, yes. Bangag, medyo... Excited? Konti lang. Pero at least I started the year right. With one of my rare masses. I don't expect me to go there everyday afterwards, pero it's a start. It felt good, it really did.

Then 1st period, Math. OOOOOOWNING!!!! Perfect LT, baby! Sobrang pampalaki ng ulo! Sige, kaya ko rin derivatives!!! AROC at IROC muna, then exemption! (if meron. dapat meron)

Then the day breezed by... Td, Eng, Arts, P6, Fil sobra bilis. Sobrang walang ginawa. Sa arnis, lunge training pero parang hindi ko rin namalayan. Now nasa comp na uli ako, same time kahapon na wala rin akong ginagawa...

Kaya ko bang ma sustain yung burst ko? Kaya! Last term of pwnage, boys...

1st

Quote/Question/Theory of the day:
"If you could change one day/event during the past year, what would it be?"

One more year over, a new year to look forward to. Yung mga lungkot, saya at mga in-between nung 2005, forever finished na. Bagong taon ay mag bagong buhay, sabi nga. Pinaka resolution/wish ko lang: to make the most of whatever life gives me. Last year andami kong na pabayaang chances, medyo maling choices sa sangkatutak na challenges (A boy pa rin ako, noh). A new year, a new leash in life. This will be one heck of a year!

It always feels weird when nashoshock yung parents mo sa "normal" na ginagawa natin. Mas nakakagulat kasi hindi ganun reaction nila kay kuya noon o.O Party kasi ng arnis the other day. Ansaya naman, kain, Tekken (try nyo tapusin yung tekken 1 sa loob ng tekken 5. syet...), inuman. Ayun. Nung nalaman ni mom na uminom ako, berserk! Puros "Ano?" "Pano?" "Ano feeling?" "Ok ka lang?" Mom naman... Baka nashock lang siya na tumatanda na busno nya XD Yes, momy, tumatanda na ko :)

Dota-fest naman kina marky nung isang araw. Grabe talaga mga bata ngayon! Adik talaga!!! At least fun, at masaya naman sila. Bonding kaming mga magpinsan over dota, nba 2k5 at way of the samurai. Si iya... medyo op, pero kebs naman. Ako... shuttling from the pc to the ps2 to iya to the couch. Ako pa nag-eentertain ngayong guest lang ako sa kanila!? Oh well... Mark's got a long ways to learn...

Two days left before classes. Tom, labas with bro. Tues, tulog/basa catcher. Pasalamat talaga ako na wala kaming big academic stuff na pinagawa this break!
