NEVER ever point fingers, bitches.

// November 18th, 2007 // Comments Off // Life, Rant

You think you’re all so cool? That you’re suddenly part of the “IN” crowd?? NEWSFLASH. Before you start pointing fingers at others and looking down on them, take a motherfucking good look at your stupid ass selves. *LOUD KNOCKING* People who are “something” don’t need to proclaim that they’re something–they just ARE.

“The moment you think you’re above everyone else is the moment you need to get slapped in the face.” –words of wisdom from Natalie Portman

Take it from her, be smart and sophisticated without trying to be.

PS: I’m not saying I’m part of that certain “in crowd,” ok? I’m just goddamn sick of those who keep shouting to the world that they are. That’s that.

YOU ARE SO SELF-CENTERED!

You! Yeah, IKAW NGA. Yang isang epal diyan na napaka BABAW at napaka KITID ng UTAK! (If you even have one…) SISIPAIN NA KITA EH! I used to be your FRIEND. WE used to be your friends. There was even a point in my life when even though I doubted you, I protected you. Dikit ka sa tsismis na halos paniniwalaan ko na pero pinagtanggol kita. Well Mr. “I’m-So-Popular-and-So-Gosh-Darn-Charming,” I’ve got news for you. NOT ANYMORE. BAHALA KA NA SA BUHAY MO. Haven’t you realized? You’re starting to lose all your friends and you’re gaining enemies. Though I’m not one of them. Hindi mo ako enemy. From now on, I don’t even know you.

We didn’t even do anything. Kung pinagkakamalan mo kami na nagkakalat ng tsismis about you, well. ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA MO. When we were friends I did nothing but save your ass from those who chose to talk negatively about you. And how do you repay me? ALAM MO GINAWA MO. MAKONSENSYA KA NAMAN. ANG BABAW EH.

That’s all. I hope your basketball career dies with your conscience. If it still exists though. KAPAL MO, GRABE KA.

i love him. :)

Kala mo kung ano na ‘no? Haha. GOTCHA. (=

I love Coach Tatay (known to many as Coach Pido). I (along with some other lucky few) have gotten to know him more than just UST’s head coach. To us, he was like a father, watching over us and taking care of each and every one of us.

The “Growling Tigers Family” (teams A & B, coaching staff, “Pido’s Angels,” “Tomo Yaw” and others*) will always be a part of me. The UST Gym will always be my second home. The blood of a Tiger will always run through my veins. Ok, some may say I’m overdoing the drama… SO WHAT? This is my true second family, believe me or not.

This is my last year as a Thomasian student, or corny as it may be, an “USTedyante.” Yet, it’s one of the most memorable and happy years of my life. Since pre-season I’ve been juggling my schedule just to make time for my family, my schoolwork/OJT, and these people in my second home. It was well worth it.

People have come and gone, and believe me I miss them all… They’ve become so close to my heart that it gets broken everytime someone hangs up his jersey or coaching uniform to venture on to bigger things. Sooner or later, I’ll be the one leaving… But I’ll always come back… UAAP season or not, expect to see me roaming around the campus. Mangangamusta lang naman. After all, among the “VIP” I’ll be the first to graduate. May alumni na kayong hihingan ng ticket!! Joke. Magbabagsak ako ng isang subject para hindi pa ‘ko alumni! Haha :p

Anyway, the point is… *drumroll please* When I told the Tigers that I’ll ALWAYS be here, no matter what, I mean it. Napamahal na ako sa kanilang lahat–they’re like brothers, fathers and uncles to me…and of course my forever “katambays sa gym” are more than sisters. The GTF spawned friendships I’ll never forget. I really do love them. And I love our Coach Tatay. That’s that.

So to those thinking negatively of my “family,” manigas kayo. You know NOTHING about what’s going on, so don’t assume ANYTHING. Coach Pido cried for a deeper reason than you may think, and I respect him for being human and showing the guts to cry himself out even if stupid-ass people may think really, REALLY WRONG about him.

TIGERS FOREVER… VIVA SANTO TOMAS!

PS: Sawa na ako sa mga naninisi ng talo kay Japs. Shut the hell up, you should know better. Boo. He’s an awesome point guard and a good person, so that’s that too.

EDIT: The “others” I referred to: PT (sina JC, Beck, James at George), CSR (Diane Querrer), former players (Jojo, Jemal, Allan, kuya Ge & others), Jaren (Pido Jr.), Marino (the waterboy) and all the other utility guys & staff, tsaka mga gf ng players (Lyka, Rizelle, Leslie & Paz), alumni friends (“Adiks” & others) mga moms nila, at wives ng coaches na nameet namen… I give credit where credit is due naman eh. Sa mga di ko nabanggit, sorry. Windang po ako, hint me & I’ll add you to this entry, urkei?

groupie.

// April 5th, 2007 // Comments Off // Rant

I was watching the Tyra Banks show recently, and one time the topic was “players and the girls who love them.” As someone who’s generally easily attracted to athletes, being a sports lover myself, I was drawn into the episode. There were three girls there who were considered as “groupies,” people who patiently wait just to get a glimpse of their favorite player(s) after each game and even dated them sometimes. So I started wondering: Am I a groupie too? God, I hope not!

See, my school’s basketball team won a championship in a prestigious tournament. However, they lost most of their games in different leagues after that. I still supported them, cheering them on whenever my schedule permits. Events of late made me paranoid, because I did hang out & wait to take pictures with some of “them,” sometimes. Time went on until they themselves have been inviting us to watch their games, allowing us to ride with them on the team bus. Hell, even the coaching staff know us now. I see them as humans, not as unreachable celebrities. These guys on the team are actually genuine, and are fun to hang out with. We have a blast with them. What the hell is wrong with that?!

As the show went on, I realized: I am NOT a groupie. I don’t force myself unto “them.” I don’t patiently wait outside their dugouts just to take a photo. I was friends with at least half of them before they became “household names” or whatnot, one was even a childhood friend. I supported them sincerely, win or lose. I do not date or sleep with them, nor intend to. They are my friends, schoolmates, classmates, and I am damn proud of what they do and are capable of doing. So for anyone who keeps nagging on that I’m a groupie, a desperate fan, or someone who is “feeling close,” shut the f*ck up. I don’t care anymore. I just hate being judged as desperate or easy, because, well… I’m NOT. And neither are my friends.

On a lighter note, I did watch a basketball game with my friends Steff & Vanessa today. The game was almost won, just one second left and the opponent sank a basket in, 79-77. Damn, haha. In case you were wondering, yes we did hang out with “them” afterwards, but what the hey. It’s already a given, we were invited, we’re not hurting anyone, and we did have fun. Yayyy. Happy day (as I want to believe it to be).

i just can’t look, it’s killing me

// August 5th, 2006 // Comments Off // Life, Love, Music, Rant, Site Updates, Sports

I’m here in the computer lab at school… I’m so bored, hahaha. It’s been a couple of days since my last update, and since I promised to do so more often, well here I am! =p

I’m going to watch some basketball games tomorrow with some friends/siblings. I’m a bit excited and I hope our team wins… they’ve been on a two-game losing streak and the university is not happy about it. Neither am I. Because I’m sick of rooting for the losing team!!! (Hehe.) Here’s hoping—they’re taking on the (currently) unbeaten team. Gotta give a shoutout (wtf?) to my friends on the team: Dylan, Japs, Jojo, June D., Allan, Chester, Mel, Jemal (get well soon)… you guys rock the hardcourt tomorrow ok?!

Lovelife? Social life? Family? Well I’ve been ok with all of them—except in the lovelife bit. I’ve been single for more that four months, and I thought I was gonna be ok. However, I’ve felt a lot of pain and according to Loureck, torment. It’s such a hard thing to go through, getting over someone you still love. Eventually I’m becoming ok but it’s such a slow process and frankly I’m exhausted. Don’t get me wrong—Charlie and I are still really good friends. It’s just that too much has happened for things to go back to the way they were. Oh well, life is crazy, but I’m crazier. Ha.

Site updates: I finished reuploading my MP3s, a bio written by Charlie, and the webcam page. Everything else is still in the works ‘cause I’m pretty busy. Exams start this Monday so I probably won’t update till after Friday. Will return all comments by Tuesday, including the ones from the old website. Hehe.

get my television fix, sitting on my crucifix

// February 25th, 2006 // Comments Off // Life, Music, Rant, UST

Damn it, we had no classes yesterday. Just perfect, when I got so much planned. Grrr. I was actually excited because I knew for a fact that two of our professors were out, so I could have more time to hang out with everyone. But nooo. People just have to spread the “news” about a coup ‘d etat going on. Right on, bitches.

Yesterday, as a result, was a blah day for me. I woke up early, ready & on the way to school. We then heard on the radio that all classes are suspended. What do I do now, I thought? Well for starters you could eat a proper breakfast for once, missy. So I went to change, then ate the rest of my lasagna. Then all day I just stayed in the living room & watched TV. After hours of boring myself to death, I eventually fell asleep in the afternoon & woke up in the middle of the night. I had a massive headache so I just texted Eric to distract myself. When I couldn’t handle the pain anymore, I slept again & woke up at 4:30 am. Like wow.

Thursday was alright… just a bit of schoolwork but nothing too serious. The day went by like a breeze. I finally got to do my report in Biology, which went by ok in my opinion. I also found out I had a pretty good recitation grade in Philosophy (apparently 93-95 was the range, woohoo). That gave me hope because my exam wasn’t so hot. Haha.

Last Wednesday was also a breeze, because we only had two subjects. Wow, a break from 9 am – 3 pm. So we had an early lunch, me & my friends… But Charlie & I had PE class after that. We were forced to “watch” the fitness contest (eew), signed the attendance sheet & went home.

Well my mom found my missing guitar strings, so to cure my current boredom I shall now force myself to write songs & play guitar again. I haven’t in weeks! Then I’ll reward myself with Belgian truffles that melted into one big blob so I have to slice it before I can eat. Or green mangoes & fish sauce (aka bagoong) ‘cause it’s a Filipino thing. Hahaha.

i saw what you did & i know who you are

// January 30th, 2006 // Comments Off // Friends, Life, Rant, UST

It’s nearly midnight and I’m quite exhausted. This weekend I spent more than 24 hours with some of my groupmates trying to edit the stupid documentary. So hmm. After countless sleepless nights, it’s finished. Whoops, wait. I told myself never to talk about that stupid project or anything related to it from now on. And in case you’re wondering, I loathe our professor now even more than I already did.

I woke up late today, haha! As a result I missed our first class. Then we also had a random class picture taking, which was fun. And I have to admit, I’m really starting to enjoy our Journalims classes. But on our final subject, the one with the documentary, was VERY disappointing. BLAHHH! Oh well, at least the rest of the day was alright. I ate lunch with Charlie, Cyrian, Verity, Anne & Mau. After that, I hung out with Charlie & Cyrian, sharing ghost stories & anything paranormal.

Around 3 pm, we met up with the rest of the gang to celebrate Kay’s birthday. We went to a place near our school called 1611… we basically drank, ate and just hung out like old times. We also checked out our friends’s soccer game from time to time (they won).

Short post, eh? Well here’s some pics when I got bored this weekend. Enjoy, not ;p

i can’t do this shit.

// January 25th, 2006 // Comments Off // Life, Rant

sorry for being an internet absentee. i haven’t been online since i last posted, i swear. since monday, i’ve been so busy working with groupmates on a project for a minor course subject! i’ve been so stressed out & too fucking tired lately that i don’t even have time for myself anymore. it’s like all of a sudden, the whole world is against me, doing as much damage as possible.

but of course there will always be a bright side to things. because of lots of meetings being held, i ended up hanging out with different people i normally wouldn’t hang out with (not that i don’t want to or anything, hehe). and i have to admit, being a camera girl has its perks, like i don’t have to doll up everyday or bring costumes, stuff like that. muwahaha. but still, at the end of the day i’m one of the most exhausted among everyone. right now i’m feeling rather dizzy (and SLEEPY!!) hey, a camera may seem lightweight… try carrying dragging it around all day!

hmm, what else. i don’t think you guys would be interested in what else i’ve been doing the past 3 days though. and yes, i did fail one exam (philosophy). surprised? i’m not, i’ve been having barely-passing grades on that subject eversince! but enough about school. i sound like a fricken nerd here.

life..life..i need a life!!!! when all this crap ends, i’m going out & no one can stop me!! =p so i gotta go rest now, i’ll return all your comments tomorrow (or whenever i can). thanks to everyone who’s been voting for me… take care y’all!

computer shop noises

// January 19th, 2006 // Comments Off // Computer, Rant, Site Updates

The one thing I hate about renting computers is that you’re not in control. You just can’t be. You can’t install programs you want/need (like FireFox or AIM, for example). You can’t make emails comfortably ‘cause there’ll always be at least one curious snoop looking over your shoulder. And you can’t play music you want when there aren’t any headphones. It just disturbs the other customers. Like now, 3 people I don’t even know are bothering me—there’s sucky music to my left, Gunbound sounds to my right and Freestyle sounds behind me. Overlapping sounds just aren’t cool. These people don’t even have ethics (or a brain). I think I’m going crazy!!

Well I just updated so you guys know I’m still alive. The past 2 days were strange… the exams I thought I’d ace, I’m pretty sure I’ll fail. And the ones I thought I’d fail went pretty well! o____O I have one more exam today, plus a makeup class for English, then I go home with Charlie to interview my uncle. So many things to do, and yet I’m here surfing the day away online. Ahaha. Well I gotta go now, I gotta study!!

Thanks to Dorthea for the belated birthday fansign! <3

PS: PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

my boyfriend’s name is charlie… so where’s the chocolate factory?!

// January 14th, 2006 // Comments Off // Life, Love, Music, Rant, UST

Strange chocolate cravings, zits literally popping out of nowhere, sleeping all day for no apparent reason, uncontrollable temper… I sense a theme here: I’m PMS’ing again. I find that chocolate actually makes me feel better on days like this. I’ve already downed about 5 bite-sized Mars/Milky Way bars, 2 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, half of a 100 Grand & 4 Kisses with peanut butter today. And I plan to eat more! Muwahahaha.

edit @ 10:06 am 1/15/06 I have hyperactive hormones, so I get a lot of zits during my period. Chocolate (or any food) won’t cause zits. Go banish that myth. /edit

Yesterday was a Friday the 13th. Who cares? I don’t know who started spreading a rumor that it’s bad luck, ‘cause frankly I think it’s retarded. What’s so unusual about that day anyway? Yesterday was actually ok for me!

School yesterday was fine. It was actually a breeze… I even aced a quiz I didn’t really study for! Except in Journalism—I only got 80 on my paper. Compared to my first one (which got 95), that’s pretty low! My prof said I needed to find a better lead & I think he’s right. Ay caramba.

Jason Mraz rules. He’s coming to town soon and I’m hoping to snag tickets & watch his gig. I love that guy. “I’m the geek in the pink, doo doot doo…” Oh no. His song’s stuck in my head… help!

Oh yeah. I must tell you this: I was forced to update only because of Charlie, yes the guy who hasn’t blogged in nearly two months. Oh, the irony. Hehe. I love you, baby!

PS: Thanks to Michelle for the belated birthday fansign!
