-Just a bunch of awesomely funny geeks and a crazy research team-

So before Ka Ummi left The Philippines, she recommended two new sitcoms, really hilarious ones. "The Big Bang Theory" awesome kinda complicated really smart and all so geeky and nerdy comedy sitcom. It's about four super geniuses who have a normal typical American girl as a friend and learn about the real world. This one's kind of tricky to understand especially the jokes but pretty funny once solidly comprehended.


Another one that got me hooked was "Better Off Ted". It's about a multi national company who has a cool research team and come up with the weirdest inventions but seem to always have some trouble making it work or fix its flaws. It's more of a "Arrested Development" kind of sitcom. Pretty awesome and has sarcasm written all over it hahaha~~ Enjoy them. :) Remebering laughing increases life spans...

-Too EVIL for high school-

Real evil isn't made, it's actually sacrificed and turn into a flesh eating hot demon. Yes, getting back from watching "Jennifer's Body", not as good. So for all you huge Megan Fox fans, why not watch her seduce guys and rip them in half. Overall, it's got to be only a 5 out of 10 for me. Storyline wasn't bad, Adam Brody was there and there were two songs particularly catchy heh~~ Well, the Halloween Fiesta is stirring up wildly here in Makati, spending the weekends here with Ka Siti. Waiters and salesladies wearing costumes haha i even saw a guy dressed as Naruto, really eye catching, even kids were staring and pointing fingers. At least the malls are even offering 50% off items so people are crowding up every available space here. Well, my grades ccame out yeasterday and I guess I'm satiesfied 1.70 GPA obtained. Hopefully, better grades to come my way soon. I'll just be off hoping for the best, till then people. :)

All my sentences, keep ending with 'you'

During the first month of school, I spent nearly 90% thinking about you, the other 10% about what I was gonna do that day. I remember a class in English, the professor asked a sentence, I remember it vividly as something to do with nouns. So I gave the sentence 'She will always be my only one', the professor gave the old 'Awww' look...so did the other 41 girls in my classroom. Somehow, trying to deal with stuff here is much easier if it was to be associated with you. When I get home, my guitar is usually the first thing I touch, but that day was an exception. I still couldn't get over the question of 'What on earth am I doing here miles and miles away from you?', and still up to this moment, I'm still wondering. Going out doesn't really help either, everywhere I look or hear would always somehow remind me of you, and I mean anything... One embarassing moment was when I ran towards this girl who seemed to resemble you alot, but half way there I realised, it was'nt you... it wasn't...

The time I miss you the most is whenever I'm alone... I remember staying home and doing nothing but think about those great times we've had, few but really meaningful. Along with all the reminising, is the inevitable thought of whether you're thinking about me as well, as the late Michael Jackson said it 'It's human nature'. I try to block it out with anything I can find but it's almost like trying to stop a huge wave with a small stone, it's impossible. Even my friends here can tell how hard it's been for me, I assure them I'm staying strong just as much as I assure myself that.

Even though it seems like im out of hope, you're still the one that keeps me going. The force thats pushing me forward. The only star that seems to shimmer during the night. The only record that plays in my lifes playlist. The best part of me. Pretty bummed that I'm not seeing you anytime soon, but when I do see you...when I see you, you're gonna be loved like you've never been loved before... Thank you for everything... I love you...

-COWABUNGA DUDES!!!-



The day was pretty slow but I spent it watching good old school movies. Heh~ Whatever happened to movies without CGI? Thanks to the internet, I had access to watch all three movies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Somehow even their old jokes were actually much more funnier, despite the lameness. So, when you all get the chance, try to download them and check it out, if you like funny fight scenes with lame commentary and also very predictable yet amusing, then these three are for you. Enjoy...

PS: I personally like the 2nd one :)

-Recent Happenings-

So after being here for nearly 5months, more than expected have happened, yes that's a surprise even to me, I guess it comes along with the fact that it's a really different world out here. Here's what's been new:

-First day of school; awkward silence in the air of course. Honestly alone the first 2 days, since I said I was from Brunei, they were all dumbfonded, they never heard of it. We had a huge map in class but it didn't help as much, Brunei was still minute heh~ I spoke english alot, so they all thought I couldn't speak the mother tongue, they laughed and got surprised knowing I actually could. So by next week, people had their own groups of friends, as did I.

-Getting used to customs here were a really huge adjustment, but somehow learning about them really tends to highlight the Filipino in me, so to speak. My school's pretty huge, 12,000 students and there are 5 branches of the school, so I'm guessing all the students put together would be roughly 50-60 thousand. My schools pretty known for my course (International Relations) as well as Hotel restaurant Management and also Cruiseline courses.

-The schools here are all active in "Speech Choir". It was altogether something new for me, but it turned out to be something like doing a speech as a group and acting as well. Our class being the "Active-lets-join-everything" class, joined in both the English and Filipino competitions for Speech Choirs. We won 2nd for both of them. Very unforgettable day. Although, getting 2nd was like prynsa all over again heh~(yeah you heard me Miz). In the Filipino competition, I had to do a solo monologue...IN FILIPINO!!Hahaha spent days trying to pronounce it right and memorize it, but with a little luck, I managed to pull it off.

The Filipino Speech Choir

Me and the winning Trophy :)

-During English week, I happened to join the competition for acoustic singing, heh I sang John Mayer's 'Comfortable'. I was the best in the audition, but I didn't get in, only cause they weren't at all familiar with the song. The same day i got a chance to jam with one of my classmates. She played the violin and I played the guitar, applause in the class was great. 8 of my friends and I joined "Readers Theatre" its a competition where a group reads a script and they judge pronounciation, sound, tone etc etc. We won 3rd for that competition. Yeay!! The great things about joining these competitions are if you win any place, you get a grade in the subject that its closely affiliated with(amazing!!) and at the same time you get to have fun practising.

Speech Choir for English

Reader's Theartre (I'm the dude in the middle)Winners for Reader's Threatre

-We all got 50points in the exam automatically, but a few of my other classmates got 90 cause they joined both the readers and the Speech Choir, heh in other words they only need 10 points to get 100 :)
