The Year that WAS

In a few hours, the Philippines will welcome 2008 with a BANG, well except for Davaoeños since firecrackers are prohibited in the city. 2007 has been a tough year for me. Well, these are some remarkable things that I've done in the year 2007.

I SLEPT the whole day before an exam.
I OVERSLEPT during our FINALS. Haha. 8.30 am ang finals ng Chem16, 8.35 am na ako nagising. My God. My prof just laughed at my funny situation.
I ALMOST lost my cellphone. Good thing, I just forgot to get it from Cocok. Haay.
I learned to appreciate small things in LIFE.
I became more happy in my life.
CONTENTMENT is the biggest lesson that I've learned in my LIFE.
I still maintain my optimistic view in life.
I still managed to maintain my rank in college (same as highschool), despite the VERY HIGH standards of my university.
I skipped DINNER just to compensate my sleeping hours, most especially if it's our midterms and finals.
My views in life had become broader than in my previous years.
I had chose my friends WISELY.
I had learned to ride an HH or Habal-habal. HAHAHA.
I had been suffering from INSOMNIA lately.
I had been addicted with CAFFEINE. Ooooh. I prefer ice-cold coffee than hot coffee.
I had been susceptible to diseases like flu, fever and asthma more frequently due to accumulated stress.

I missed my highschool friends. I missed my alma mater. Well new year's coming and I don't have a clue on what wuld be my life for the upcoming year.

Gummy bears are totally addictive, well most especially if they had a song dedicated to them. So, before I end this post (This would be probably my LAST POST for this year), I would like to leave you a CUTE and CHARMING SONG entitled: I am your Gummy Bear, sang by Gummy Bear!

please click the play button since I didn't activate the autoplay. Thanks.

Oh I’m a gummy bear.
Yes I’m a gummy bear.
Oh I’m a yummy tummy funny lucky gummy bear.
I’m a jelly bear.
Cause I´m a gummy bear.
Oh I’m a movin’ groovin’ jammin’ singing gummy bear.
Oh yeaoooh.

Six freakin' HOURS to go before 2008!

SAYONARA Piggy!

I woke up early today and only had four and a half hours of sleep.

And for the reason? We attended the LAST Eucharistic Celebration of the year 2007. After six or seven months of living in an "unfaithful lifestyle", I finally attended a Sunday Mass. My GOD! Forgive me.

Oh well. Today's the LAST DAY of 2007. Goodbye Piggy. Say hello to our new mascot - EARTH RAT. Hey hey hey! Rats and Chipmunks are related to each other, well, if we take a closer look on to their phylogeny. Whatever. I wish Chinese Astrologers and Feng Shui experts would include the following animals or insects on to their ASTROLOGY:

Chipmunk, squirrels, IPIS, chicken, ducks, hamsters, owls, frog and TARSIER.

Hahaha. Speaking of Chipmunks, I’m really, REALLY EXCITED on the upcoming movie of the Chipmunks, that is, ALVIN and the CHIPMUNKS! I dedicate this movie to my beloved barkada-mate, Kristalalala.

What’s with the Squirrels? Nah. Year of the Flying Squirrels – and every people would soar and fly HIGH like a squirrel. HAHA. Yuck! The hell. Ba’t kasama pa si Manong IPIS dito? Oh well. It seems that I’m pretty thrilled for the upcoming dissection of cockroaches in our Bio 3 Lab. Aynaku. If Chinese astrologers will include this, the would definitely be the freakiest, the nastiest and the eekiest year of all. How about year of the IPIS slash cockroachYEAR of the CHICKENS or DUCKS? Only Chicken Little and Ugly Duckling would be happy for it. Tadahtadah blabberblabberblahblah. Hamtaro would be happy if he’s included in the Chinese astrology. Unfortunately, he’s not. Ooooh yeah. OWLS and FROGS would definitely charm its way to the Chinese Astrology but they can’t since the sky’s has been overcrowded by horses, bulls, Tamaraws (if any..), dogs, roosters, the mighty DRAGONS and more.

The Year of the TARSIER would sound quite awkward but I’m sure Filipinos would be proud of it. Whatever, again. This would make the eyes of the Chinese rounder, bigger and, you guess. HAHAHA =]]. I’m quite hyper today, even if it’s one in the morning. I just have a LOOONG NAP. So long that I slept form 2.30 am to 9.00 pm. Six and a half hours of NAP. Just look at that. Hahaha.

So, 2007 will bade his last goodbye on us by the next 23 hours or less and let’s celebrate and party as we welcome 2008 with a bang, but in an innovative way since I’m a Davaeño. You know what I mean kiddo. No fireworks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! CHEERS!

I tag..

Geva. | Yana. | Kim. | Scarlet. | CM. | Fajee.

say UGGGH

Ugh. Crap.

Dammit.

My head aches SOO BAD. Ang sakit. Wait. My TWO EYEBALLS ache. Maybe it's my crappy eyes again. OR MAYBE, this is the result from accumulated stress. Whatever. I feel like I'm gonna vomit at any moment this time. CRAP. Shit.

I've drank 1 tablet of Biogesic three and a half hours ago.

And I don't want to drink Biogesic NOW - baka ma-overdose ako, and that's another dilemma. Ugh.

It's raining and I'm disturbed with its sound when rain meets roof. UUUYYY! Gumagawa ng scandal si Rain and Roof. Hahaha.

WAIT. MAYBE it's because of sudden weather change. Kanina nga lang, it was like a hot and humid afternoon, then today, it's raining cats and dogs.

I'm halfway with my Chemistry homework. 6 days to go 'til the Chem17 LOONG QUIZ.

I need to SLEEP. Adequate rest is highly appreciated.

Gütten Nacht.

hard habit to break

I'm finished with my Bio 3 Lab reports. Thank God.

I'm sleepy already and it's still 8.33 pm.

I'm ALMOST broke. YES. ALMOST - from a thousand grands to 300 bucks. YES. 300 pesos. Ugh. At least school's gonna be next week.

WAIT. ugh! NEXT WEEK? Hell. I haven't started my Chemistry yet! Hell. Oh well. I still have 8 MORE days 'til Jan. 4. Good thing, when I'll return to class by January 3, walang Chem. Haaay. SIGH. PROCRASTINATION, get out of my life. Ugh. It's just ME, ME and ME! Whatever.

I want to sleep early. My mind is spinning round and round. I only had seven hours of sleep last night. Argh. Wait. Seven hours? Men. That's still insufficient to me! I CAN sleep SIXTEEN hours STRAIGHT. YES. That's TRUE.

I still haven't bought on what I REALLY NEED slash WANT this Holiday Season:


-a GOOD PENSHOPPE WALLET - since my present wallet's approximately 4 years old. YUCK and it's quite cheap looking. HAHA. Well, well what's important is, I had tons of foul-smelling papers on that piece of trash ESTE mini-bank of mine. Heehee.


-a NEW toothbrush - I need to replace my old one. I've been using my lame toothbrush for like 5 months or more. EEEK. But instead, I bought a 230 peso worth tooth-whitening paste at WATSONS. UGGH. Foolish little brat. I hope that toothpaste would be an effective one. Whatever.

My back hurts a bit. I'm sitting in an office chair with a poor posture. God. The pain's starting to grow. Uggh. The sharp, shearing pain. I need a full body massage right now. PRONTO. Mom can't massage me because she firmly believes that I'm NOT SICK. My acting-fartsy-dartsy didn't WORK. I'm broke. I'm Procrastinating. I'm doomed if I continue this bad habit. Uggh.

I've been using this expression for many times in this post: "UGGH." The hell you care about it. UGGH! Hahaha.

The PIG'S remaining DAYS

The end is near.

It's like saying goodbye to Piglet, Babes, the three little pigs, PEGGY, idig-idig [my alleged pet pig when I was young], BABOY and alike.

The end is near.

I've finally finished and completed the arduous yet exciting Bio 3 (Biodiversity) Lab Reports. I've finished not just one lab exercise, but three life-long exercises. I am half through with my heavy home works and school works. I can now concentrate with my upcoming Chemistry long quiz.

I am almost through.

My friend as well as my classmate, July, stated that these home works almost killed her festive mood in today’s holiday season. I agree with her. I second the motion.

My friend Geva, a BACA [Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts] student said that she didn’t know how to start her midterm projects as school resumes this January 3, 2008.

Inna gave a comment on one of my friendster account. She said that it’s quite difficult to locate those pesky answers on our lab reports in Bio 3.

My good old pal Chippy AKA Kim [Krista] didn’t have plans to study for her upcoming long exams in Microbiology and Animal Science.

Fred Egg had tremendous assignments on his SocSci subjects.

Neil would only worry if it is January 2, 2008. For now, he’s gonna enjoy the festive spirit of the yuletide season.

Life is always difficult. You should deal with it.

While I was busy on answering my Bio 3 Lab reports, Carmi texted me that we should have some quality time together with my barkada at the mall (G-mall). Uggh, again?! So we finalized our plans by midnight.

Life is short and full of surprises.

I’m still suffering with my severe flu and my head aches so bad when night struck. I drank two medicine tablets and good thing my head ache went off. Eventually, mom gave me a cool massage on my forehead, head, back and chest. She surprised me.

Life is so sweet and wonderful.

I crave for fruitcakes. My friends find me weird for I find fruitcakes delicious.

Life is a sophisticated thing. Life is WEIRD.

I’m quite anxious with the upcoming year, which is the year 2008. I really don’t know what would be my fate in the next five days.

Destiny shall linger upon one’s life. It is a mysterious paradigm.

I’m going to sleep early. I’m going to meet my old friends within the next 10 hours.

Life is sweet, delicate and a wonderful gift from GOD. Five jittery days before 2008 !!!

Weird Christmas

Since 2001, I never had a chance or an opportunity to watch the wonderful, colorful and magnificent night sky during Christmas and New Year's Eve. Everything was peaceful and serene, except for the noisy yet happy commotions of our neighbors.

Firecrackers or any explosive materials are completely banned here in Davao City under the City Ordinance XXXXXX (I forgot the code, sorry).This was implented by the City Mayor, Rodrigo Duterte in the year 2001. It's been six years since I had witnessed the colorful fireworks display in the city. After the implementation, the city has become gloomy, morbid, melancholic, CLEANER and the night sky's relatively clearer than those firecracker-stricken years.

Despite the absence of firecrackers during Christmas and New Year's Eve, the quality time for the family during the Noche Buena could never be obliterated and changed. Yan ang TATAK PINOY.

Somehow, I find this year's Christmas funny and weird.

It was 2.30 in the afternoon. While I was busy on surfing the internet and my brother's also busy on watching an anime flick on our dvd, somebody knocked on our gate. The voice was pretty distinctive and my subconcious mind registered it as the voice of a helpless LUMAD. I was right and wrong at the same time. I was right because she was indeed, a LUMAD only that she did not look helpless for she wore casual clothings and accessories similar to a teenage girl that resides in downtown Davao. She also had an mp3 headset sticking out on to her left ear. She blankly asked us for food and clothing.

My brother confronted the lady and said:

"Balik lang 'day!" (Come back)

Then the Lumad lady replied innocently: "Dile naman mi mubalik dire kay mubalik naman mi ugma sa bundok" (We can't return to your place [dammit! haha], we're scheduled to depart enroute to the mountains tomorrow.) [aba, parang INDAY version!]


From the kitchen, my father heard their commotion and yelled, "Balik lang lagi!"

And the lady disappeared without a trace. (Ngyee?)


I remembered while we ate dinner moments ago, my father, mother and brother told me that we're gonna celebrate the Noche Buena by midnight. Aba aba aba! Nagsalita ang marunong! When midnight struck, EVERYONE was ASLEEP except me. My aunt called me and laughed because everyone in the house was fast asleep. Good thing, mom woke and eventually offered me a macaroni salad. My dad cooked and served it and it was delicious, VERY DELICIOUS.

This is our usual story during Christmas Eve since 2001. But by New Year's Eve, they're wide awake 'til 12.45 am. New Year kasi eh.

It's 2 minutes before 2 am and I want to eat my dad's spaghetti. Yumyum!

Once again, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAVE A HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

**Oh yeah, may nagpaputok pa rin ng TRIANGLE. Haaay. PASAWAY. Lagot kayo kay digong!**

Forget me not

It's the Yuletide Season.

A perfect time for family bonding, a time to give gifts to our loved ones, a time to EAT and KILL TIME, and most of all, a time to..

STUDY ??!

Wait wait. It's Christmas right? Am I crazy? No. Seriously. I'm just surfing the net for three and a half hours when I came across with July's latest blog post moments ago. God. Thanks July for posting that blog post, I mean, Bio 3 Lab didn't came to my subconscious mind until I read your blog. Thank you so much. Really. I OWE You.

And this is the summary of our workloads this Holiday Season:


1) Chem 17 Long Quiz - Metallic Bond, Covalent Bond and Ionic Bond, Lewis Structure and it's NATURE. Good thing, we had already lectured this in our Chem 17 Lab and in our MST 1 (Nat.Sci 1). Haaay. Expect the unexpected kiddo!

2) Bio 3 (Biodiversity) Lab Reports - God. Ang dami nila. Lots and lots of blank pages to draw and tables to fill. WERLA !!! (Ma'am Pakdat would always use this word during stressful activities). Lolz.


I'm still enjoying my Christmas BREAK and hopefully I should start doing these tremendous and excruciating homeworks after the Christmas Eve, that is, the day after TOMORROW (I'm not talking about ice ages and global warming for now, haha lolz). At least, I can do something that is productive on to my "intelligence side". Naks naman. =))


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Tomorrow's the BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG and PIG DAY! Don't forget to drink Motillium to circumvent Dyspepsia and Loperamide to thwart that nasty LBM! Haha.
