† last pages †

if you want to know how someone is like, and if that someone had a notebook he writes on, why don't you try looking at the back pages of his notebook? for sure you will find a fragment of himself.
    i have learned since my elementary days, that the notebooks' backpages are like the backdoor to most of my classmates' souls. it's where they unconsciously write their hidden desires, thoughts or even anything that doesn't need to be pondered upon. they write on it without inhibitions, as if their hands are in control of their brain. i have always been more fascinated with reading the last pages first before the real content of any notebook. it's like, fishing in an open sea, you think you do but you have no idea on what you'll get.
      i usually hunt these back pages when i'm in a stalker mode. like when i'm into someone and i want to know stuffs, impersonal or personal ones. or if there's a notebook and the owner is nowhere in sight... i might as well look around.
        i have seen many stuffs written on these clandestine pages, 90% of them trash. the predictable ones are unsent letters (perhaps just to lighten their heavy chest), caricatures of teachers and classmates, anime drawings, random words (cue words for homeworks left undone), curses such as "pak yu ka ma'am!", "amoy sibuyas seatmate ko" or "i wanna go home", doodles and chicken scratches (to see if their pen is still has ink), "lyrics" and (the most frequent) a "name"; written in all caps, in bold, and adorned with decorations or written in different font styles.
          through this process of exploration, you'll get to know bits of information. useless ones i'm telling you. unless it intrigues you enough to seek other notes from the same source. you'll get to discover whom your weird classmate is crushing on, your classmates' most-hated teacher, your classmates' hidden obssessive compulsiveness.
            i have two pages in my notebook with my name written on it a thousand times; my seatmate - Chot, asked me if i take illegal drugs. 'til now i still write my name on it just to see how ugly my hand-writing is.
              just don't seek things you don't really want to know, sometimes it's better to know nothing. though i don't agree that what you don't know won't hurt you, i believe that what you know could hurt you more.

              † somewhere only we know †

              natatandaan mo pa ba noong una tayong nagkita?
                naglalakad-lakad ako sa Payon noon, naghahanap ng kakilala tapos nakita kita. hindi ko maipaliwanag pero parang kinilig ako ng konte nun. mukha kang walang alam sa mundo at gaya ko, tingin ko may hinihintay ka din. naalala ko tuloy noong unang subok ko, wala akong kasama. hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. wala akong gamit. poring lang hindi ko pa mapatay… pero kahit mahirap, naging rogue din ako.
                  ngumiti ka saken, tapos ngumiti din ako sayo. tinanong ko pangalan mo, at ayun, nagpakilala rin ako sayo. sabi ko sayo ayoko ng buhok mo, sabi ko palitan mo muna tapos bumalik ka agad saken. sabi ko gusto ko kung hindi white, yellow para astig. at nakakatuwa, kasi sinunod mo nga, pinalitan mo nga ng yellow ung kulay ng buhok mo.
                    tapos ayun, nagkwentuhan na tayo. tinanong kita kung anong gusto mong mangyari sa buhay mo. sabi mo gusto mong pumana ng pumana. so sabi ko mag archer ka na lang… at naghanap na tayo ng requirements mo para mapasok ka na sa Payon’s school of archery.
                      tinawag ko si jellai para matulungan niya tayo. bale ako ang unang nanghahampas ng mga halimaw, tapos ikaw na ang pumapatay. mas gusto ko kasing mapadali kaya humingi na ako ng tulong. si jellai ang laging gumagamot ng sugat mo. so far, okay naman. sa loob ng isang araw tinanggap ka na sa archer’s guild. archer ka na agad. hanep, ang galing mo na pumana. minsan nagugulat na lang ako nawawala ka, un pala kung anu-ano na pinapana mo… nakakatuwa ka nga e.
                        tapos, ang susunod na hakbang eh ang pagbili ng mga bagong pana, shempre, habang gumagaling ka, kelangan mo rin ng mas maganda at mas malakas na pana. kaya ayun, ako ang bumili ng unang pana mo. saya ko nga nun e, kasi alam ko napasaya kita. binili na rin kita ng mga palaso, at mga gamot para makapag-lagalag ka sa mundo kahit wala ako.
                          araw-araw lagi tayong masaya… sa gubat… sa pyramids… sa disyerto… sa kung saan-saan. patay lang tayo ng patay ng halimaw. minsan pinapagalitan kita pag lumalayo ka saken, kasi ayoko pag namamatay ka. nga pala, eh ung first kiss mo saken naalala mo pa ba? kung hindi mo na naaalala, sa payon un. sa may gubat ng mga kawayan.
                            tapos… tapos… niyaya kitang magpakasal. ewan ko ba, basta gusto ko lang. pumayag ka naman. pero hindi pa pwede kasi kailangan mag-hunter ka muna bago tayo magpakasal, at kelangan din ng 2 milyon at 2 diamond ring. hindi naman ako ganun kayaman… pero pinag-iipunan ko na yun.
                            pero gaya ng ibang promises, hindi na yata matutuloy ung kasal naten… kasi… kasi… basta… ewan ko nalimutan mo na rin cguro. ü
                              …so why don`t we go? somewhere only we know…

                              † chronic nail-biting †

                              "Anniel, bakit ganyan ung kuko mo? pudpod!" -JM (classmate)
                                "ba't parang di ko yata nakikitang humahaba ung kuko mo?" -Jellai
                                  "ampangit ng kuko mo!" -Dino
                                    "tigilan mo na yan, wala ka nang kuko.." -Annie (mama ko ü)
                                      here i am, with my fingernails ugly and all, hence i was called pudpod.
                                        i wish i can avoid my chronic nail-biting. it makes me ugly, and it's so not-cute. i do it anywhere i possibly can; jeepneys, bus, classroom, while walking, sitting on the couch watching t.v, before i sleep, and often when i feel restless or nervous. i'm always fidgety with my hands, i don't know what's wrong with me. i asked my Psychology teacher what it meant, and he said it's a manifestation of insecurity. then i remembered Erik Erickson's theory of human development. there are eight stages of human development, each focusing on a different conflict that we need to solve in order to develop successfully into the next stage of our lives. the idea is that if we don’t resolve each stage or we choose the wrong of two choices, our ability to deal with the consecutive stages is impaired and the failure will return to us at some point later in life.
                                          one of these stages has something to do with acquiring pleasure thru the mouth; the stage called oral sensory stage which occurs 12-18 months after birth. this stage is when a baby finds gratification by playing with his mouth, this explains why babies loves to thumb-suck and put little toys in their mouth. haven’t you asked yourself why? this is the first stage of Erik Erickson's theory.
                                              i don't know what happened way back when i was a baby, maybe my bottle-feeding was suddenly discontinued hence my oral sensory stage was not satiated. but as far as i can remember, i've been nail-biting since my elementary days. then it stopped in highschool, and came back when i was a college freshman. i don't think it's unhealthy, i think it even boosts my immunity cause when i bite my nails i tend to put tons of bacteria in my mouth, which makes me immune to diseases. haha! joke! it's just that, being skittish with my nails at this age is not appropriate for me.
                                                oh well, maybe i'm just plain insecure. ü

                                                † paperworks and tests! †

                                                the finals week is fast approaching and still i have a lot of things to accomplish. after finishing two reaction papers in a span of three days, having 24 pages all in all, and passing it to dr. Gil, my academic life is still in misery with paperworks for dr. Hicarte.
                                                  first, i have to submit written reports about the "Different Aspects and Institutions of Rural Societies" and "Socio-Cultural Change" in my Rural and Urban Sociology class. it's freaking hard to do because i have to really type it manually, i can't find anything on the net about such topics in the Philippine setting so i guess i have no other option but to rely on the book which was overly used. and patience was never really one of my best attributes so i'm still finding an easier way out of this paperworks.
                                                    second thing, is about our case study, good thing i'm with gian and jellai, so i guess i'm in good hands, i mean, they're not the type to leave me alone with this kind of intensive research. take a guess on what our case study is about? it's entitled "Ang Pinagmulan ng mga Taong Naninirahan sa Tulay ng Delpan". Delpan is situated in Tondo where notorious people, (some of them pickpocketers) like me dwell. jellai thought about this one, and we think it's cool, we really wanted to do this on our own so at least we could learn something new and not just plagiarize others' paperworks. also, we would like to enhance our skill with regards to dealing with different kinds of people, i even thought of giving three packs of lucky me pancit canton for every family that we will survey and interview. and the minimum number of families that we're talking here is around ten. pretty challenging huh? i wish the people there are welcoming enough.
                                                      then finals week, ahh! i'm freaking apprehensive about what will happen in my World Geography subject. okay, so of course it's World Geography so the test will definitely have something to do with map reading, worse - map memorization, worst - world map memorization! so here's the picture, there will be a blank map of the world, and we're going to fill it in with names of different countries and water forms, i think the only continent that i knew well aside from Asia is South America. i'm having a hard time with Africa coz the countries there have weird names. i'm also a bit jittery knowing that every country has a corresponding capital wherein i'm not really good at. having a photographic memory is not one of the nice things i'm known for.
                                                        pls. pray for me. i feel like eating fire instead of taking the World Geography test.

                                                                      in a lot of ways, my classmate is correct. kasi, pag lumagpas na sa 15 minutes ang outrage ng isang tao, ung blabbing, nagging at iba pang non-sense manifestation of tantrums, that is what we call... tan-ta-na-nan! - indulgence. yes. indulgence. minsan kasi ang mga tao nagagalit para lang magpapansin, hindi naman talaga masama ang magalit. it's in the nature of all animals, of all creations, cgruo kahit halaman kapag pinitasan mo ng dahon ng wala namang dahilan magagalit din dba?
                                                                        alam mo kung ano ang masama? ung mga ginagawa, when anger is put into actions, particularly destructive ones, like hurtful words, wrong accusations and most often, violence. at ewan ko ba, minsan ung ibang tao, feeling proud pa sila to say na "galit ako", "wag mo kong kakausapin kundi naku". which they should really be ashamed of, i mean, sino ba tataas blood pressure? sino ba ang namumula ang ilong sa galit? sino ba ang nahihirapang huminga? isa pa, pride is one of the seven deadly sins. the deadliest as far as i know coz it's the one least detected.
                                                                          o cge, given na ayaw mag-sorry, shempre naman matatakot magsorry ung taong nagkasala sayo kung nagwawala ka. baka nga naman hampasin mo ng kahit na anong makita mo dba? kaya nga suggested ung 15 minute break e, for the good of all. just try it, hindi naman kasi porke sinabi na 15 minutes, hindi ka na magagalit, shempre andun pa rin un pero the 15 minutes serves as the space for u to think, kasi walang taong galit na matino mag-isip.
                                                                            on the other hand, kung hindi rin naman bukal sa loob mo ang forgiveness, forget it. mas mabuti nang magpaka-totoo, mas okey makipagbati after a year of cold-war kesa naman sa makikipag-ayos ka nga after 15 minutes, only to keep hidden grudges and making it grow. sabi nga nila, you reap what you sow.

                                                                                                  napanood mo na ba yung movie na 50 first dates? ung kay drew barrymore at adam sandler. i did. and i loved it. un nga lang, akala ko romantic-comedy un, pero nalungkot ako. i pity the girl in the movie. kasi, it's like the girl's memory for a day's duration is erased every time she sleeps, 'coz she went through an accident which has damaged her brain, so her brain could not process new information. kaya for her, hindi nagbabago ung date. everyday for her is a deja vu except that she doesn't know a thing at all. like for example if the accident happened on april 6, everyday of her life will be april 6th for her. and they can't tell her what has happened kasi mixed emotions ung mararamdaman n'ya dba? at kahit sabihin sa kanya, malilimutan nya rin kinabukasan.

                                                                                                  Drew Barrymore as Lucy, 50 first dates.

                                                                                                  there's even the part where, they (she and adam) first kissed, and she said, "nothing beats the first kiss.". it's supposed to be funny 'coz she's like saying it everyday, but i feel sad for her, because a first kiss is supposed to be remembered. mahirap din sa part nung guy. kasi isipin mo naman dba, he has to win Lucy's heart everyday of his life.

                                                                                                  but i honestly envy her. coz, at least she forgets...

                                                                                                  san ba nakakabili ng "selective amnesia"? i think i badly need one. better yet, kailangan kong mamakyaw. =(

                                                                                                        time started- 3:27 pm
                                                                                                          nalulungkot ako. hindi ko alam kung bakit? ewan ko ba, naiinis ako na nalulungkot na sa totoo lang e wala naman talaga akong nararamdaman. i'm as empty as the sahara dessert. may tutubong cactus, magkakabuhay, magkakaflower, tapos mamamatay. naghahanap ako ng oasis pero wala akong makita. i'm all dried up. i'm so empty. why can't someone fill me up? and be the snow in my sahara. the kind which is perpetual and never ending. i'm so tired of waiting. i don't even know if there's something that i'm waiting for or it's that something which is waiting for me. i'm like a sad smiley. sa pangalan lng smiley, pero sa totoo lang e malungkot. bakit ako ganito ngaun? hindi naman ako ganito dati. naiinis ako. nami-miss ko na ung dating ako. ung ako na nagmo-mall mag-isa ng masaya. ung ako na nakakalakad ng walang kasama pero ok lang sakin. ung ako na walang pakelam sa mundo. ung ako na bihirang malungkot. ung ako na bihirang mag-isip. ung ako na lakad lang ng lakad at kadalasang nauuna sa mga kasabayan ko. i miss the old me. at anu tawag dito? bakit ako nagdradrama? wahekhek... maderpaker talaga. shet... magpapakamatay na ba ako after this? this seems like a suicide note for me. basta. this only boils down to one thing. nalulungkot ako. pero ano nga kaya ang dahilan? hindi ko alam. lahat ng nararamdaman ko ngayon umiikot sa salitang "cguro". cguro kasi mahal na mahal and when i say mahal it means "mahal" ko pa c yoh and i'm unrequited. cguro kasi hindi ko sya napasaya and i feel bad kasi nasayang lang ung oras nya saken. cguro kasi my confidence and faith was crushed and was buried 6 feet under. cguro kasi wala akong mapagsabihan. cguro kasi alam kong walang makaka-intindi sakin. gosh.. paalam.. premonition na yata ito na mamatay na ako? dba mga naa-aksidente nag-gaganito muna of some sort... nakakainis talaga. naawa ako sa sarili ko dahil ngayon ko nari-realize na maraming kulang sakin. sobrang dami na walang makakadama ng existence ko kahit mawala ako. i used to think i could create a butterfly effect*, pero tingin ko i don't even amount to a single flap of a butterfly's wings. i'm a trash. i'm no one. i'm not anything special. i'm not different either. i don't want to be different and i hate those people who flaunt that they are different and because of that they're astig and us common people are "kawawa". real shit. plastic. i'm just me. and i'm sorry for being me. i met someone i thought was perfect for me, loved in a perfect way, loved in a perfect time... but now we're perfect strangers. because to him i'm not perfect. and i wasn't being close to being one. but why does everything that ends has to start if it will eventually die?
                                                                                                            *butterfly effect - a belief that "a single flap of a butterfly's wings would be enough to create a hurricane to the other side of the earth". it's like a "one thing leads to another thing". a theory that evrything is interrelated so if u change a small detail it will leave a big impact after a period of time.

                                                                                                                    men fall in love through their eyes;
                                                                                                                    women through their ears...

                                                                                                                                                              "mahal mo ba ako?"

                                                                                                                                                              maka-ilang beses ko na rin 'tong itinanong sayo. maraming beses mo na rin akong sinagot ng "oo", "siguro", "sigurado", "ewan" at "hindi". nakakalitong isipin kung bakit sa iisang tanong ay higit sa isa ang maari kong makuhang sagot pero nakakaaliw din na mas madalas kesa minsan, hindi ko inaasahan ang mga naririnig ko. ngayon kaya, ano ang isasagot mo?

                                                                                                                                                              sh*t! f*ck! past tense na nga pala at hindi present tense ng salitang "mahal" ang dapat gamitin. haay... pinagtaksilan na naman ako ng aking subconscious. nabubuko tuloy na ako ay isa't kalahating asa. but i can't blame you if you can't answer my question now as fast as definite answers should come out, because different people have different views on love. most people think that love is abstract, and maybe, it's the same reason why you left, because we can't see love from the same perspective. i was here and you were there. i was willing to meet you halfway but you ran away. i tried to catch up, only to find out you were running for someone else din pala.

                                                                                                                                                              "minahal mo ba ako?"

                                                                                                                                                              sinubukan kong pigilan ang sarili ko na magtanong. pinilit kong hanapin ang kasagutan ng ako lang mag-isa, pero ikaw lang talaga ang makakasagot n'yan.

                                                                                                                                                              pero kung ako ang masusunod...

                                                                                                                                                              sana hindi mo ako minahal. sana niloko mo na lang ako. sana laro lang ang lahat para sa'yo. kasi kung minahal mo 'ko, ayoko nang magmahal ulet. napakawalang-kwenta pala ng pagmamahal na 'yan. isa lang palang "commercial conspiracy" ang love para bumenta ang chocolates, flowers at stuffed toys tuwing Valentines. kung minahal mo ko, ang love pala parang buhay ni Juday sa "Mara Clara", ung tipong mas marami ang lungkot kesa sa saya, ang luha kesa sa tawa. kung minahal mo ko, masisira ang balanse ng mundo. kung minahal mo 'ko mas mangingibabaw ang yin kesa sa yang. kung minahal mo 'ko, may mga demonyo sa langit, may mga anghel sa impyerno at ako ay kasalukuyang nasa purgatoryo.

                                                                                                                                                              sana talaga hindi mo 'ko minahal. sana yang ang sagot sa napaka-kulit kong tanong. hindi iyon dahil sa galit ako sayo o sa nangyari sa'tin, kundi dahil sa gusto ko pang mahalin mo ayon sa alam kong dapat na kahulugan nito. ayon sa pagmamahal na alam kong deserving ako. gusto kong mahalin mo ko bilang ako lang at hindi bilang panakip-butas sa isang "tragic" na nakaraan. gusto ko pang maramdaman kung ano man ung gusto mong ipadama sa taong "tanga" na pinagsasayangan mo ng luha mo...

                                                                                                                                                              "mamahalin mo pa ba ako?"

                                                                                                                                                              alam kong hindi na. hindi lang hindi kundi "hinding-hindi." but i guess you should. 'cause you still haven't given me what i deserve.. i deserve to be loved to it's fullest meaning and deepest core. gaya ng pagmamahal ko sa'yo.

                                                                                                                                                              ***

(di sikat kasi di ko kilala. wakocoke!) sabagay, puro na kasi vintage videos ung nasa VH1 e. wala lang natuwa lang ako sa kanya.

                                                                                                                                                                                nung bata pa ako*, madalas kong tanungin ang nanay ko:
                                                                                                                                                                                  "nay, bakit ang tawag ng mga kaklase ko sa nanay nila 'mama' ako tawag ko sayo 'nanay'?"
                                                                                                                                                                                    bata pa ako, i know i have this cute way of saying/asking things in a better, subtler way, and as for this question, i knew what i really meant was "mahirap lang ba tayo?". kasi naman napaka ambitious ng parents ko, sa montessori ba naman ako pinag-nursery? e mga sosyalin mga classmates ko dun... kaya ganun.. mejo culture shock ako.. kasi at a young age nagmumurahan** na sila. hehe.. ako nga "pepe" lng at "etits" di ko pa kayang sabihin that time.
                                                                                                                                                                                      sabi naman ng "nanay" ko:
                                                                                                                                                                                        "love***, ang 'mama' kasi, yun ang kastila ng 'mommy' at dahil wala tayong influence ng pagka-kastila e 'nanay' na itinawag mo sakin kasi diba dun ka na nasanay? at saka iyon din ang naririnig mo sa mga tita mo diba?"
                                                                                                                                                                                          and for that i knew she meant: "anak, di tayo mahirap, and even if we are, it's not something to be ashamed of kasi we love each other and it's all that matters. tama ba?"
                                                                                                                                                                                            and from then on, i don't feel anything weird anymore kapag nagkwekwentuhan kami ng classmates ko, when i'm referring to my mom, i say "nanay ko kasi ano e... blah blah blah..." and when referring to their mom "musta na mama mo an so on and so forth". it makes me feel proud na mahal ako ng "nanay" ko kumpara sa mga "mommy", "mama", "mamu", "mamita", "mudra" and in some cases "maderpaker" ng ibang anak jan na sa tawagan lang maganda pero hindi marunong magmahal at mag-alaga ng anak.

                                                                                                                                                                                              ayun... isang umaga... ginising nya ako...
                                                                                                                                                                                                "anak, gumising ka na tanghali na! aba't ala-una na ng tanghali, ang init-init na di ka pa rin gumigising. parang c kuya germs ka na ah 'walang... GISINGAN'!! tumayo ka na dyan at may kape ka na sa lamesa, bilis at ililigpit ko na 'tong hinigaan mo."
                                                                                                                                                                                                  like the usual moms, she's one hell of a nagger... mana nga ako jan e.. heheheh!
                                                                                                                                                                                                    so ayun.. tumayo na ako dahil gustuhin ko mang mas matulog pa dahil alas-kwatro na ko nakakatulog nung bakasyon e hindi ko na magawa dahil sa ina-armalite na ako ni nanay sa kanyang mga sermon or kung sermon nga ba iyon. nagpunta ako sa lamesa. nakabusangot ang mukha at nakapangalum-baba. yun bang tipong parang nalugi sa negosyo.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      and she's like "o ba't lukot mukha mo?"
                                                                                                                                                                                                        gusto ko sanang sabihin.. "kasi wala na kami, at nalulungkot ako kasi mahal ko pa sya. hanggang kelan ako malulungkot? 'nay ganun ba talaga?".
                                                                                                                                                                                                          pero ang sinabi ko.. "wala lng. naiinis ako e. kaw kasi eh. ang ingay-ingay mo, sana pinatulog mo pa ako ng mas mahaba-haba..". i said this flatly in a raspy voice. as if i'm a zombie na wala pang tulog. hindi nmn galit yung intonation ko, mejo annoyed lang.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            sabi nya.."kasi naman, oras na ng tanghalian nag-a-almusal ka pa lng? mamaya ka na lng matulog pagkatapos ng tanghalian, mamayang hapon. pupunta ako sa palengke, 'kaw muna maiwan dito.". habang sinasabi nya yun nakatingin syang maigi sa'ken.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              alam ko naman nahahalata nyang may problema ako, na magulo isip ko, na paminsan hindi lang puyat ang dahilan ng pamumula ng mata ko sa umaga. pero hindi nya ako tinatanong. dahil alam nyang hindi ko rin naman planong sabihin. cguro nga totoo, na walang makakatalo sa bonding ng isang ina at kanyang anak... na ang kanilang katahimikan ay higit pa sa masalita at showy na pagpapakita ng pagmamahal sa isa't-isa.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                as usual, sumasagot sya ng crossword puzzle ng isang local tabloid while i was drinking my coffee na tinimpla nya. she asked me 'bout some questions there like ano ang element symbol ng kung anik-anik sa periodic table of elements o kung ano ang capital ng ganitong bansa or kung ano ang surname ng isang american actor. ung mga tanong na madalas makita sa crossword puzzle. at since magkausap na kami, at pupunta na rin naman sya sa palengke, at di ko alam ang ibang sagot sa puzzle, hiniram ko na lng ang bolpen nya at nag-doodle sa tabloid.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                  "o bago lang 'yan, bababuyin mo na naman!"
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    "asus! para ito lng eh... kala ko ba mamamalengke ka na? go na! gutom na 'ko. hehehe.."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      "saglit lang, huhugasan ko muna ung pinag-kainan mo, iiwan mo lng dito eh baka daga-in."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "bat naka sleeveless ka? 'kala mo sexy ka? hehehe.."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "bilisan mo na kumain."

"di ko alam e. kayo alam nyo?". gusto ko sanang sabihin "ako alam ko, ba't ikaw di mo alam?" e kasi naman i just want to know that i knew something in her field of knowledge na hindi nya alam, kasi naman feeling ko she's already prepared to flunk me with around 15 of my classmates. at least ako alam ko ung sagot dun sa tanong. thanks to reader's digest. hehehehe.. so i took summer classes because of the sinister spinster. at akalain mo yun! i got 2.25, dalawa lang kaming naka- 2.25 sa chemistry summer class namen out of 50 students. hehehehe.. so ang ranking ko is either highest or second to the highest. so i could say that i'm not that much of an intellectually challenged moron. i'm just plain L-A-Z-Y. salamat din sa magaling naming teacher nung summer class, i just forgot her name. sya kasi ung tipong hindi maramot sa pag-ngiti e. she's really nice and i like her. it makes her a pretty sight.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ung sa algeb ko naman. okay lang, natuwa pa nga ako kay mam lucas kasi before the deliberation of our grades sabi nya, "ipinagdasal ko muna itong desisyon ko, kung ibabagsak ba kayo o hindi dahil alam ko, somehow, it will affect ur life. ipinagdasal ko rin na sana sa mga babagsak, maintindihan kayo ng mga magulang nyo. alam ko ang posible nilang maramdaman dahil nanay din ako.".
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        o diba ang drama. sabi ko nga, sana sumulat ka na lang sa "magpakailanman" o kaya sa "maalala mo kaya". pero na-appreciate ko talaga yun, i was even smiling when i saw the 5.00 encircled in my classcard. i'm such a freakin loser in numbers. if numbers were food i'd starve to death.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          whenever i see mam lucas sa campus, it's either nag-smile ako kapag wala nang matakbuhan pero walang plasticity ung smile ko ha? nahihiya lang ako kaya kung may matatakbuhan naman e nagtatago ako madalas, kasi naman out of five long quizzes, 50 item tests nya highest ko na yata is 14. i even got zero sa dalawang tests. kaya nakakahiya. hehehe..
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            pero balang araw, pag nakasalubong ko si mam dacumos, makakaganti rin ako. pag established na ako sa pagiging teacher. sasabihin ko sa kanya:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              "ANEMIA? ANEMIA DACUMOS? ung teacher ko sa CHEMISTRY? ma'am ANEMIA ikaw nga! musta ka na? Pakshet ang tagal na nating hindi nagkita ah!" üü

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              since i don't have any nice things to say, or i'm tired of thinking about anything to put in this stupid blog. i'll be doing this Top 5 thingies every now and then..
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ung mga nakalagay dito, i'm not actually hating them, it's just that i'm not comfortable being with them for some reasons na nakalagay or hindi dito sa entry. got it?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                PINK 5: Rizza (the pucca girl)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                oh no! don't get me wrong please. i don't hate her ok? in fact, i used to like her. "used to..." her mom is really a nice lady. you see, she was my ex's bestfriend and sometimes she can really get a little pesky. talk about obssessive compulsiveness. i remember one tym at the mall when my ex promised me he'd take me to a movie when this girl showed up and in a whiny, authoritative voice, she muttered, "uy anniel sasamahan nya ako na maglunch ok lang?" (referring to my ex) and she turned to the guy and said, "sasamahan mo 'ko dba? dba!?..." (notice the exclamation point?)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  okay, so u myt say that i over-reacted. you myt say that maybe she's just not comfortable with being alone. i guess not, because that time she's with two girlfriends and her suitor who, apparently became her bf. i mean... kulang pa ba c cielo, c jho at c elmer para samahan syang kumain? kailangan ba talagang kasama pa c yoh? and by the way she spoke, it's as if she wants only yoh and i'm not part of the package. she could've said "samahan NYO ako at hindi "sasamahan ako ni yoh!" if she also wanted me to come. ano gusto nya maiwan akong mag-isa?


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  and the silly guy said nothing. he's no good at saying "no!" except to me. i guess it was also my fault anyway, cause i didn't said anything too, hoping that somehow she'd feel an inch of "hiya" on her skin. (bye bye to the movies..) haay... 164th promise broken.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  as i've said, i don't hate her, i just don't think we'd connect after things are over and done with. we're better off as strangers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  YELLOW 4: JC (the insecure classmate)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  well, i don't have anything to say about this guy except that he's so grouchy and insecure. i don't know what's gotten into him but out of the cold war that we've waged between us, all of a sudden he kept on teasing me about someone. i mean, who is he anyways? we're not close. but i'm such a nice person, really i am, that's why i kept my killer line "kabiruan ba kita?" in my mind. fate brought him to be a groupmate on the values education subject that's why i have to endure his presence. the nerve of this guy, i remember he once told me "crush mo ko dba?" ow c'mon.. i have saner/cuter options than him ok?
