couldn't have said it better

"I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. It's called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space!"

"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade."

-Iris, Kate Winslet's character in the movie "The Holiday"

dreaming to be like the corrs

My parents just came back from Cebu and they brought home a new guitar. Yey!!  I will seriously try to learn how to play that instrument this summer! I'll see first if I can learn on my own. But if I can't maybe I'll contact some "friends" who can teach me how to play it. Tasha wants to learn too. Though she also wants to concentrate on improving her voice so she could be our vocalist and be like Andrea Corr.. hehehe.. you see we dream of making our own music and be like the Corrs. Maybe Ate could learn how to play the violin or the piano or the drums or the flute. Maybe we could leave the drums to carlo since he's already a drummer.. hehehehe.. yeah.. a girl can dream.. =D

random thoughts about the future and being jobless

i'm a bum. with graduation just around the corner, soon i'll be officially jobless. unemployed. i choose to be. at least just for the next couple of months. i'd like to take my time, because they say that once you start working, you wouldn't have the same luxury of time. haaa! what am i talking about? i'm not sure really. the future is still misty. i do hope the fog will clear up soon. i'm not too sure where i'll be next year. hopefully with a stable job, a good paying one at that or any place where i'll be happy and contented.

i'm just blabbing..

yeah.. bored..

maybe next time i'll make more sense.. hehehehe...

Food Trip!!

We were at my Grandma's house yesterday. My mom's aunt, who we call Tita Baby, suddenly had a craving for the t-bone steak she saw at Charlene Gonzales' show. She just knew it was served at a restaurant named Snackaroo. Where it was she didn't have a clue. We tried checking it out at the yellow pages and we also contacted the operator but the address or phone number of the said restaurant wasn't listed. So we tried ClickTheCity too. But alas.. It wasn't there also. Feeling a bit of adventurous, we decided to take our chance and look for it somewhere in the ABS-CBN area or maybe along Tomas Morato. Along Morato, we had to carry gas, but the gas station where we stopped didn't accept credit cards so we had to look for another gas station. We decided to turn right at Kamuning and carried gas at nearest station. We asked the attendant if she knew any resto near the area called Snackaroo. She did! Snackaroo was located at the street perpendicular to Kamuning and parallel to Tomas Morato. We didn't actually expect to find it. Hehehe.. Their steak's good.. tender and tasty. the serving size is also huge. Well worth the effort we exerted to find the place. =D Tita Baby also treated us at Aling Banang's Halo-halo. It was so good. The halo-halo had  ice cream in place of ice. That was really a lot of ice cream! =) We went to Greenhills afterwards to "walk-off" everything we ate. But we ended up at the Sevilla Sweets and Pasalubongs Store buying pastillas de leche, macapuno balls,longganisa and butong pakwan. Life's good. =)

check!

I had no plans or whatsoever of going to campus this afternoon. but I'm glad did. hehe.. I found some of my blockmates lounging around the sofas located at the lobby of our college. They immediately asked me to fill out a form for my TCG request because they were going to the cashier's office soon. They also prodded me to inquire about my GWA. I have been worrying that I didn't do too well in my Span 11 finals to be able to reach the cum laude status. I readied myself for the worst case scenario as I entered the admin office. I expected a 4. I've always been more of a half glass empty person or a pessimist. I just didn't want to keep my hopes up. But God's so good. I got a 1.5 (which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than 4 =D) My GWA is 1.606, just 0.15 short of being magna cum laude. But I'm contented. I know 0.15 is still a big gap to fill. And I didn't exactly work my butt off to achieve that. I'm happy being a candidate for cum laude. =)

15 mins later

After seeing the long line at the cashier's office, we decided to put off for tomorrow our payment for the TCG's.

[info]armidoodles , [info]lakongmaisip , liar and I went on an adventure of a lifetime. .hehehe.. we've been wanting to see the house of a certain person and we finally had time and gathered enough info to be able to locate that person's house. Having only clues from our DPA (mang CV), we searched the land called tierra pura for the house of ______________. =) And like being guided by an invisible hand, we effortlessly found the house. :)  (pictures to follow)

After celebrating our success at 711, we went back to mass comm to meet with other blockmates and plan for our grad party. yey!! We finally settled where to hold it, who to invite and who'll be in charge of what.

We then went to check more things off our checklist of things to do before graduating:

find adarna house---check

eat isaw---check check check!

go to sarah's---

find a boyfriend---

have picture taken with the big UP seal at the Quezon Hall --- check

find the real Oblation statue--- check!

participate in the lantern parade--- check

cross the pipe ---

jog/walk the entirety of the acad oval--- check

etc....

Today, we checked crossing the pipe off the list . The experience was exhilarating. I didn't think of the distance of the pipe from the ground when I got on it. I was too excited to cross it. But when I got to the part of the creek, my knees began to turn to jelly. I didn't want to let go of the branch of the tree nearby. After a few seconds, I regained my courage and carried on. Turning back wasn't an option for it would be much harder to turn one's back than to move forward. I only had slippers on. Not much traction really. When I would stop and check how much further we had to cover, the pipe seemed to move up, down and forward. It was a weird hallucination. But the feeling when we reached the end of the pipe was really something else. I felt fulfilled. Hehehe.. It was a good feeling..

     

don't let the pictures fool you, it's really much harder than you think...

Now, going to Sarah's isn't too hard. But finding a boyfriend is. . hehehehe.. =) I guess that's one thing I can't force off the list.. I'll have to settle to finding a friend who's a boy/guy.. (a real one at that!) =D

just anything that comes to mind

on this hot summer night i finally am in the mood to update my blog.. hehehe.. some may be very old news.. but i want to relive the events that happened after the last time i posted a blog entry.. hehehe... so here goes..

my 21st birthday

davey, gino, miguel, mike, haphi, ck, kai, kat, alina and monica saved me from a very crappy 21st birthday..yeah.. i still had fun although i spent almost half the day moping around.. i had a spa day...got a massage and a foot spa and had my nails done.. i love pampering myself.. hehe.. anyway, i know my blockmates tried their best to be able to go to my party and i do understand that they have a shoot and that the car broke down.. but i won't deny the fact that i was disappointed they couldn't come.. oh well... had fun naman with the karaoke naman.. hehehe...

   

THESIS

The day after my birthday, we shot our underwater scene for our thesis.. it went well.. had fun.. and i even had my own underwater shot taken... =D I don't have it with me as of the moment.. will try to post pictures asap.. :D

By March 16, after another string of conflicts and delays, we were able to re-shoot our thesis. All went well that day. Had a blast with the new cast. We finally had a complete story. Friday, March 18, we recorded our score at Sound Design at Makati. We were waiting for Kyla and Kuya Iking at the receiving area when a very very cute guy went in. Mel, Carla and i immediately looked at each other and approved of the sighting. Suddenly the receptionist told us that the cute guy will be our sound editor!!! How cool is that!?! We also learned that he's part of Tropical Depression. He also added ad lib for our score.. he's gooooood.. :) Carla and Kuya Iking were also perfect! We're really blessed. We finished our editing in one day, we just had to do some revisions after our thesis adviser saw our rough/first cut. He had great suggestions. March 23: THESIS DEFENSE - I cried because i couldn't take the pressure anymore. We were 2nd in the roster to be roasted.. hehe.. mel and i were wearing our "i will survive" t-shirts...and we did survive the panelists' comments. We passed. :)

   

FINISHING COLLEGE

I finally submitted the very last requirement of my college life last wednesday: our bound written thesis. A sense of relief washed over me as I handed them over to Ate Fortune. But a certain sadness also welled-up inside me. I still can't believe college is over. Not yet officially though, I still don't have my diploma with me. hehe.. (more of this at my next posts.. )

to be continued...

On being legal

i'm officially legal today. another year older.
 
what are the pros and cons of being twenty-one? hmmmm...
  • some say i must get my own tin number already. i need to pay my taxes. (huwhat?! i'm jobless pa!). 
  • and since i am no longer a minor, if ever i commit a felony (hehehe) the full force of the law will be applied to me! (scary... note to self: never break the law) :D
  • at least i can go to casinos.. hehehe.. ang babaw.. i never really liked gambling but i really must try those slot machines :D while i'm at it, if ever i learn how to play poker i'll play at least one game, and black jack too :D just once, i really don't like risking losing money :)
  • i can be served liquor (well, this hasn't been a problem before because i don't drink out much, or if i do, i let others buy me a drink)

can't think of other good/not so good things being twenty-one can do..

more freedom=more responsibility...

yeah... i know that..

and we chose re-shoot

i never really entertained the idea of re-shooting our whole thesis. it's just not practical. but i ended up with no choice but to re-shoot the whole thing. our actress isn't available for another week because she has other scheduled shoots. we can't afford to wait for her. besides, we're not very satisfied with the acting of the first young actress we got so we decided to replace her.. ergo the decision to reshoot the whole thing. Good thing our prof in cinematography will lend us lights. that's a big load off our shoulders. we're re-shooting this tuesday and wednesday. we haven't really prepared well for this one. we'll have the underwater shoot this tuesday. i hope the camera won't conk out on us!! it's worth more than a hundred thousand!! i just lift everything to God. :D

Mel and Me
