Apparently, whenever I think about school (including the scary facade of some laboratories on the east wing of CSM), it always reminds me of something: school's coming and my mind's not ready.
Whatever. I really hate it when I start to enjoy my semestral break during the final week of freedom. Well, the first week of the break is the laziest since I have to sleep more than 15 hours just to compensate the sleep deprivation during the last three weeks of the semester. In the middle of the break, it would be the idlest, thinking of the things to relieve one's soul from boredom. Should I read this book or not? Should I go the mall or just sleep the entire day, AGAIN? Should I clean my room? Should I study in advance on these Bio subjects (eeww, geek)? Things like these keep on hovering on our confused mind.
And then after you have finalized your decision, you've come to realize that the break's almost through..and it sucks.
In my case, I have just discovered that reading the synopsis of every episodes of TARA (The Amazing Race Asia) makes me happy. I don't care if it's already four in the morning, as long as I'm happy about it. Crap. If only I discovered this days after our finals week, I may have enjoyed my break for a longer period of time.
And yeah, thanks to Facebook, I have met some online buddies across the universe este, across the continent. I have met three in the states and one in Brazil. Nah. It's quite funny since they are very amazed to Filipinos because we are known to be fluent in English (raise the red-yellow-blue flag mga kababayan, proud to be pinoy!). Well, grammatically speaking, we all do commit subtle errors, but the hell I care, as long as we undestand each other. LOL. The dreary part is the time. Philippine time is very different to States and in Brazil. Sometimes, when we were in the height of our interesting conversation (when I say interesting, we share our common interests, like school, tv shows, movies, books and all), I tend to forget my local time. LOL. But at least I have met a new set of international friends. Yihee. And oh, Portuguese is much more complicated than Spanish. xD
These events had just occured within this week.. and it sucks big time when you learn that the second semester will start on Tuesday. Yes, another academic adventure awaits me and I promise to give my best shot (since I was very lazy last semester). What the hell.
And I'm currently watching the third episode of the Amazing Race.
Fuck, my brother keeps on grumbling about the internet connection. He can't play the stupid online racing game since it's very slow. Duh, I'm watching TARA. And it's the only time that I can watch this crap. Shoot. What a morbid creature he is. Damn it. So now I'm pissed. I want to rip his eyeballs from his sockets and squish it to oblivion.
Joke. Just an exaggeration. But seriously, I'm pissed. He acts as if he's my older brother. Alright, he looks older than me. TAE. And right now, he's playing Pokemon Blue with his disappointed face.
Whatever brotha, you're such a loser.
Okay, so the so-so blog turned into a rant about-his-ferocious-and-conceited-brother. Right now, he keeps on scratching his head so hard that his scalp would bleed in no time.
C'mon. Go ahead, don't be shy. Just scratch your head until you can no longer control the bleeding of your scalp. Don't worry, I'll invite Jasper Cullen in our crib. I'll just contact him.
And he's now playing Diner Dash.
Naku mas lalo pa atang uminit ang ulo mo jan. Eng-eng.

I'm getting cynical. WTF.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN. BOOHOO.

Locked in a country where people can't understand English? Say the following essential foreign sentences if you're getting into some serious trouble.. LOL
If you're in Paris, and when you a sexy lass accidentally bumps on to you, say this french sentence wholeheartedly:
Baisez-vous chienne, vous m'ont juste cogné !
If you're in St. Peter's Square and discovered that a pigeon accidentally drops a bomb on your head, shout this Italian sentence, as if you're declaring world peace:
Vaffunculo, l'uccello ha caduto la sua merda a me!
If you're in Madrid and encountered a mean owner of an expensive coffee shop, say this in front of his ass.. este his beautiful metizo face:
¡Mierda! ¡El dueño de este restaurante de la cabeza del dick es costoso maldito!
If you're taking a master's degree in one of Netherlands' most prestigious universities and encountered the most talkative Dutch classmate, feel free to shout this Dutch sentence:
Zwijg, dick hoofd! U doodt op dit ogenblik me!

Este hooligan está conduzindo-me louco! (And yeah, after that, run as fast as you can!!)
When riding a taxi in Germany, say this German sentence to the driver if he's very slow in the road:
Verdammen Sie es, ist dieser Fahrer sehr langsam und ich wette he' langsamer Anfänger S.-A. auch!
And if you're in Tokyo, say this if you're not satisfied with your meal:
ちょっと雌犬! あなたのヌードルはたわごとのように味がする。 私はそれを好まない!

Fly me to the moon
Traveling around the world is one of my aspirations in life. I would always reverie myself in different places with those trademarks and historical buildings that I always see on the idiot box and in some travel magazines. Well, let me have this quaint opportunity to share to you guys on the places that I wish to visit, or better yet, places that I shall visit soon. LOL.
a) Hongkong – this little Chinese metropolis is one of the most affordable places in the world. Right at this moment, there are so many cheap deals on getting to that modern island. It’s just two and a half hours away from Davao City. All you need is some cash and you can now get as many types of apparel as you can! Don’t worry! It’s as cheap as our country. Plus, tourist spots like the infamous Hongkong Disneyland will make you feel like a five-year old kid again. Its neighbor, Macau is also a great place to shop. Try the thrilling bungee jump in Macau’s tallest building and feel the exhilarating experience.
b) Singapore – If you’re filthy rich and allergic to fake products, then this Asian haven’s for you. Singapore’s one of the most expensive cities in Asia. Oh yeah, Singapore’s very strict on to their rules and chewing gum’s not allowed within the country’s premises. Oops. But yeah, this city’s relatively clean and believe it or not, water’s more expensive than beverages. But hey, Singapore’s tourist spots are cool and so as Merlion. Lol.
c) The Ilocos Province, Philippines – Daddy (my grandfather in the father side) is a pure Ilocano. He eats only vegetables and he’s quite dark and tall. But heck, he didn’t teach my uncle, aunt and my father to speak Ilocano. But anyhow, Ilocos boasts picturesque beaches and I want to ride in a Calesa. Lol.
d) Siem Reap, Cambodia – Aside from having an inexpensive lifestyle and cheap goods, Angkor Wat should be the first on the list. This country is rich in history and heritage. :)
e) Auckland, New Zealand – New Zealand’s one of my dream countries to visit. I don’t know, for me New Zealand is always fresh. Pollution rate is low and the climate is relatively cool. Also, this is the place where you can witness the first sunrise of the world (thanks to its location, it lies west of the International Dateline). I want to visit the southern part of New Zealand and interact with the local tribe of the country, the Maoris.
f) Sydney, Australia – The quickest way to be in this country is through the EAC, dude! Hahaha. No, I’m not Nemo for Christ’s sake. But sometimes, there are some cases that the Aussies pose some racial issues to Filipinos. But who cares, the Opera House looks lovely in the Sydney Harbor at night.
g) Geneva, Switzerland – Being a Science geek, the first place that Ill visit is the CERN. I just want to see the particle accelerator and the antimatter. Switzerland is a neutral country and I think it’s one of the youngest members of the United Nations. In 2004, Switzerland finally joined UN.
h) Antarctica (The South Pole), Arctic Ocean (North Pole) – In this place, air is very dry and temperature’s very low (as in below zero degrees). But it’s still astonishing to see the different biological species that thrive in an arid and cold desert like the penguins, polar bears and seals. And yeah, I want to witness the 24 hours of sunshine through the whole summer period and 24 hours of total darkness during winter period. That would be exciting, well in my own perspective.
i) Galapagos Island – Situated several hundred miles from the west coast of South America, this puny island is one of the richest biodiversity in the world. Even if it’s situated near the equator, you can still see penguins and other aerial, terrestrial and aquatic organisms that live in the island harmoniously.
j) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – for those who really loves to shop Havaianas, this place is definitely for you. According to my Brazilian friend, Thiago, Havaianas are relatively cheap in Brazil (since the infamous flip-flops originate from that country). It costs less than FIVE DOLLARS. Can you imagine that?! If we convert this to our country, more or less, 250 pesos lang ang Havaianas! Amazing. And yeah, it’s a large country and the Amazon’s a great place to visit.
k) Moscow, Russia – I don’t care if this country’s infested with those Russian mafias. I’m just amazed with architectural design of Moscow’s Kremlin.
Yeah right, traveling is expensive. But who cares right? It really pays off when you are actually on the place! And the experience you gain will never be replaced with those material things.
Sigh, if only I was born on a commercial airplane, I would always have a free ticket to any places in the world. AND, it’s a lifetime privilege, fcol. Sige na mga mare, manganak na kayo sa eroplano. LOL.

Tradition Blues
What I really hate about the registration and enrolment process is just simple – the pace is slow.. SO SLOW. I really hate it when one manages to be ahead on us, even if we fall in line in a proper way. The hell I care, I don’t give a damn on those singiteros. Bullshit.
Why can’t just the administration divide the clearance thing per college, right? I mean, falling in the line and waiting your turn for almost an hour just for ONE signature, with all those people from different colleges is crazy. It can be done in a more systematic way. Arrghh. I’m tired of ranting about this since last year. It’s a tradition already. Dang. But hey, I think it’s an accomplishment for me since I only lack one signature, from OSA. Unlike in the past two semesters, in just one day, I would only manage to have at least four signatures. Yey.
Oh yeah, the best part of the day has yet to come…
Well, Zoo 3 Lec (Intermediate Zoology) was moved to a new schedule: Every Monday, 1:00 pm – 3.00 pm. And since Doc Gamby’s schedule’s full from morning ‘til 5.30 pm (every Monday), the Bio department has no choice but to let Prof. Talde to be our Zoo 3 (lecture) teacher. WOOOHOO. Prof. Talde again, lec and lab. HAHAHAHA. Rejoice. We now have an opportunity to have a line-of-one standing in Zoo 3. LOOOOL. I just wish this is the final schedule. (Keep thy fingers crossed). Say ta-ta to Doc G. :)))
18 units. HAHAHAHA. But hey, look at Wednesday. BORING. I wish all long exams in Biochem will be always scheduled on Wednesdays. And look! No lunch break for me every Thursday. And yeah, I still have classes on Monday. At least, it’s not a dreary 7-9 am class.
At least nabawi rin pagod namin kanina in the Molecular Biology Laboratory. YEY. Free food and brewed coffee from Dr. Bastian. Wee :)) Tea Party at the Mol. Bio Lab. LOL.
I still have to go back to UP tomorrow just to get my freakin’ OSA clearance to be signed up. Tae.
Oh yeah. I’m halfway through with Breaking Dawn. WEEEEE.
I can't imagine that my life in UP will resume next week. TAE. Ambilis ng sembreak. SOBRA.

Nasasabaw sa Sembreak
Hell yeah, I've already felt the series of stressful yet rewarding events occurred this semestral break. I keep musing on about how dreadful my first semester is. Well, at least I’m earning and the scholarship’s a big help for the upcoming semester. Phheeew.
Likewise, the moment I received my money, I immediately flew in the National Bookstore and bought two novels: Category 7 and Michael Crichton’s sci-fi book about Genetics, Next.
Shoot! I’m very excited to read Next. Wait. I have to finish Eclipse (a hundred pages to go before Breaking Dawn). Wait. I have to finish those projects. Oops. Wait! Enrolment period will start this Monday, October 27. Shoot. I still have to maximize my time. This is the most tedious semestral break that I’ve experienced in my whole life. Whatever.
Good thing, my best friend invited us to have a slumber party on to his crib. I just missed you guys. Next year ulit. HAHAHA.
By the way, while strolling at SM yesterday, I saw different cute and chubby kids wearing the respective national costumes of their country. HAHAHA, thanks to UN Day, it really made our day since seeing those adorable kids reminds us that we were once that fragile (fat in some cases), holding our meek hands to our mom or dad while strolling in an unfamiliar place.
Kids who represented European countries, particular in the western side wore extravagant gowns and other accessories. But kids who represented African countries only wore simple and cheaper clothes.
Sigh. I should get back to work, err.

Early Bird
"Mga kababayan, katulong niyo ako, kasama niyo ako"
"Murang pabahay, mga kapamilya!"
"Higit apat sa sampu ang hindi kumakain dahil sa kahirapan. Panahon na sa pagbabago. Samahan niyo ako, at magtulungan tayo tungo sa kaunlaran"
-- Wait. Errr, guys? Today's October 2008. I think it's too early to show your faces on the idiot box just to commiserate the viewers. Being waywardly early is bad, really. And we can already surmise your hidden agenda. 2009 would be a great year to expose your “inner beauty” for crying out loud.
Early to adverstise, early to pay, makes a politician greedy and feeling nice.
WTF. I just saw this on the net and it’s utterly hilarious.

Not a Phony Call
Despite the biggest turmoil of my entire life which occurred almost a week ago, someone from the higher office called me and it's one of the biggest blessings that I've received in my whole life. No, it’s not Globe, it’s bigger than Globe. I didn’t expect this. All I need is just two endorsements.
WOOHOO! Free passport, visa, food, and accomodation for the whole second semester. One of the reasons why I love the second-half of the school year.
And I do believe that there’s a rainbow always after the rain.
Sunshine after the rain.
You can stand under my umbrealla, ella-eh-eh-eh!

Sullied Downtown
Stop and stare
Look around and be aware
Those things, inexplicable style
Big place, big buildings, and towering skyscrapers
Business men, employees, drivers and hasty thieves
Unwanted dusts all over the skin
Cover your nose
Cover your ears
Cover your mouth
Cover your pores
And run for your life
The smoke and sweltering heat of the sun
Crocodiles for only 500 bucks
SM, Ayala, Greenbelt, Divisoria and Starbucks
Jiffy, jiffy, jiffy lifestyle
Everthing’s expensive
Exorbitant culture
Buses, trains, airplanes, jeepneys and sleek cars
Hotels, motels, malls and bars
Twenty four seven
Concrete jungle
Labyrinth intersections and highways
Busy runways
Then, run, run and run again
Let the next chapter begin
