The athlete wanna be

I just finished watching FIBA World Basketball, FIFA World Player Gala 2009 and ESPYS 2009. I can't help imagining myself standing along with the world's greatest, shaking off my jitters and sprinting away to the finish line behind the loud cheers from the bleachers.

Yes!! Becoming a great athlete has always been one of my greatest dreams. wait!!! Let me rephrase that.. Becoming the World's Greatest Billionaire Athlete has been one of my greatest dreams.

I have tried almost all sports that I could think of since I was a kid- dodgeball, football, basketball, table tennis, swimming, badminton, volleyball, gymnastics, track and field but I failed to master any of them. I’ve had so much fun memories playing with those sports—aside from the usual sipa, ten-twenty, chinese garter, bicycle, agawan-base, patintero, habulan, steal the bacon, piko and luksong baka/tinik. I was always energetic during physical exercises. It was a piece of cake. I would always be the one who would record the longest jump, the longest reach, the most number of sit ups and push ups. I’m always game. In elementary, I am one of the seven players competing for water polo. I may be small but it's a good thing I'm taking swimming classes by that time. In high school, I tried out and got in the volleyball varsity team.

Last summer, I fell in love with gymnastics and thought I was meant to become a great gymnast like Beth Tweedle, Susan Jackson or Svetlana Khorkina. I even tried my luck at UST Salinggawi but I ended up crying to my mom and asking her to enroll me in a gymnastics class at the Rizal sports complex. My Tuesday and Saturday schedule transformed from watching early cartoon shows to doing cartwheels, handstand, round 0ff, back handspring but when school comes again I stop and my love for gymnastics was short-lived.

In college I tried arnis, korfball and now softball this was played outdoors then, so I had to endure the mid-day heat and go to my first subject with crisp-looking skin tones. Our team always won, I always hit a homerun so I guess I was a good batter after all. And yes!! I'm so flattered that my groupmates were calling me "ate galing" or "Jennie Finch of UST" I really feel that softball was for me, that even I have to wake up 5 am just to get in to my 9am class I was fine with it..

In my free time I am fond of playing chess and games of the general.

I would imagine what my life would be had I become one of them. Maybe I was not here sitting on the sidelines and watching them reach for their dreams; maybe I was the one out there, training rigorously every single day and competing against the best of the worlds before a huge crowd.

Maybe it was my picture, plastered on every sports page.

No regrets. I always love sports. I may not be the resident NBA buff or one of the football geniuses, but hey, I understand my turf. I understand how athletes' heartaches, frustrations and the struggle to reach not only their dreams, but also the country’s. I understand their pain—physically, emotionally and mentally—when they tried their best and it just wasn’t good enough.

So even though I did not become the next Serena Williams, Jackie Joyner-Kersee or Lorena Ochoa I am thankful that I’m still in the field. Thankful that, even I’m just another athlete wannabe, I can still feel what it is like being an athlete-by being a fan.

Home run baby!!

UST Paskuhan 09

UST Paskuhan sets a good mood for all the students, professors and UST administration set aside academics and business for a moment and take a chance to take a grasp of the Yuletide spirit.

The theme was “4 Horas. 4 Dias. 400 Days. 400 Taon” to simply explain that the event would be held for 4 hours, 4 days ’til the actual day to start off the 400 days countdown.. The countdown starts now. Time is ticking for the 400th year anniversary of my alma mater, the University of Santo Tomas . The main hosts were then introduced UST alumni Miriam Quiambao who looked dashing with her all white gown and Kim Atienza who still sported his ranger hat while JC Cuadrado hosted the raffle drawing segment.

The winning entry for the Q Song Writing contest was also played, entitled "Ako'y Isang Tomasino", music and lyrics by Gerardo De Leon, arranged by Jimmy Antiporda an alumnus of the Faculty of Engineering. Upon hearing the song without interiorizing the lyrics, the Q Song didn't appeal to me that much since it sounded like a theme song from a teleserye. But just this morning, I read the lyrics and I realized that the song really captured the essence of being a Thomasian,

Nalagpasan mo ang mga pagsubok
Di mabilang na mga bagyo
Kahit ilang baha man ang danasin
Kasaysayan mo'y hindi kayang anurin

Ang 'yong sahig, dingding, mga pintuan
Saksi sa 'yong dakilang nakaraan
Tinamnan ng tama puso't isipan
Mga bayaning sa silong mo ay nanahan

CHORUS
Nag-iisa ka lang
Pinagpalang Pamantasan
Apat na siglo ng nagtuturo sa kabataan
Pagmamahal sa Diyos,
Karunungang may dangal
Ako'y nagagalak matawag na Isang Tomasino

Ang ngalan mo'y hindi nadudungisan
Ilan mang siglo pa ang magdaan
Dahil ang Diyos ika'y iniingatan
Tunay kang binasbasang paaralan

CODA
Nagsisilbi sa kapwa
Naglilingkod sa bayan
Nagmamahal sa Diyos
May karunungan, may dangal
Ako'y nagagalak ako'y isang Tomasino!

It was then followed by 9-minute Fireworks display which would the crowd. If you think the performances were over, well think again. Sandwich also graced the event with their music undoubtedly appealed to the Tomasinos. The event ended around 1am with the anticipation for the upcoming Quadricentennial heightens.

Plus the momentous incident at Welcome Rotonda..."Takbo Arturo.." Starbucks till dawn. Left for dead till 8 am. Got home at 10am.

A class discourse

It was a great discourse with our professor. We were discussing sociologically the implications of celebrating the Christmas season. Indeed, it was fun-filled after the discourse, or should I say (I was happy with how it turned out that we were really able to analyze the celebration of the season sociologically.)

The Christmas season is a time of gift-giving and remembering Jesus Christ's birth. It is the time when people buy material things in order for them to give these gifts to their loved ones. Sometimes, the true meaning of Christmas is being questioned by many. Is the true meaning of Christmas the happiness in everyone's homes because of the fact that they are together? Or is it merely because of the gifts that they received during the season? Is Christmas also for the marginalized? Or is it only for the rich people?
Let me give my personal analysis on this matter- relating the season to Karl Marx's concepts and Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann's theory.
We give the capitalists a chance to gain profits through buying gifts for our loved ones. It is implied in our actions that we give them the support that they need and want because basically, what they want and need is PROFIT. This is the reason many capitalists do the devil's laugh every Christmas season. They always gain their profits. Happiness may be relative, but the truth is that people are already giving a notion of happiness on the material things that they receive from their loved ones. This is a socially constructed ideal. This is the reason some people think that Christmas is only for the rich. The poor will not generally have the chance to buy gifts for themselves, but there is another socially constructed ideal here. It involves their thinking of simply having all family members together for the Christmas season.
Let me relate another phenomenon for this. The New Year's celebration and even the Valentine's Day celebration. It is a socially constructed ideal that the happiness of a loved one (on Valentine's) is through the flowers and chocolates. Same as true with the Filipinos relying their fate and success in material things. There is the fetishism of commodities in this regard. There is the faith that material things are helpful in the attainment of success in life.  Remember. We always give these capitalists a chance to gain profit in every cent we spend for them. It is their gain and our loss. Now you see?!
Think twice. I'm simply trying to rationalize everything sociologically.

Hope you enjoy reading this. :)

Christmas party at Sitio Layak

Fun..Fun..Fun.. kahit magastos.!

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play.So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two.And I said, "How I wish we had something to do!"

-From The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss

I wonder how many percent of all prep students in the Philippines can't read this simple poem. We noticed that most of the students in Sitio Layak has a problem reading and writing. Children sitting in the classrooms in the country struggle with reading. I know all children can learn to read at grade level with proper intervention.

Teach a Child to Read

with my student Jhoanne

Grace-Pipoy birthday blowout at SM Cubao.. Fun-filled day.!!! Met new friends..

certified cartoonophile

*Wishing You well episode*

Squidward: Could you not stand so close? You're making me claustrophobic.
Patrick: What does claustrophobic mean?
Spongebob: It means he's afraid of Santa Claus.
Squidward: No, it doesn't.
Patrick: Ho, ho, ho!(giggles)
Spongebob: Stop it, Patrick, you're scaring him!
Patrick: Ho, ho, ho!
Squidward: It's not working, Patrick.
Patrick: Darn.

FYI claustrophobic is an abnormal fear of being in narrow or enclosed spaces.

Guilty as charged. That is right. Certified cartoonophile.. I'm 18 turning 19 next year and watching cartoons is something I will never outgrow. American dad, Spongebob, Powerpuff, Family guy, Dexter's lab. Jimmy Neutron, Chowder, Totally spies, Grims adventure of Billy and Mandy, Johnny Bravo, Yamato Nadeshiko to name a few. I'm very much young at heart. I'm fond of watching cartoons and I'm not ashamed of it, and I don't consider it childish either. They are more entertaining, and have more truth to them than any stupid reality tv show like PBB? ewwness.. I even mimic the behaviors of some cartoons. Lol.!! Anyway there is no age for watching cartoons right?

P.S. To those people who keeps saying cartoons are stupid and teaches children moronic things and bad behaviors. Airheads!

The Environment and Climate Change

Global warming (aka climate change) is probably the most important issue to face our generation, and quite possibly any generation in history. The worldwide scientific community is virtually unanimous in its agreement that global warming is happening, that that it's our fault. If we let it get out of our control, the consequences - which will already begin occuring in most of our lifetimes - will be catastrophic. Just some of the consequences that can be reasonably expected are rising sea levels, more frequent and more severe natural disasters, large-scale food shortages, plagues, massive species extinctions, unprecendented numbers of refugees, intensified ethnic and political tensions, and a global economic depression the likes of which no one has ever seen.

The situation is still within our grasp, but we must act now, we must act strongly, and we must act together. Individuals, companies, and governments across the globe must each do what they can to reverse climate change. We will never get a second chance.

What can I do?
The good news is that there are plenty of things that we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. The key word is reduce. We can greatly lessen our impact on climate change by using the planet's resources more responsibly. There are many things we can reduce, and many ways we can reduce them, but three of the major ones are: reduce the amount of animal products you consume (meat, dairy, eggs, leather, etc.), reduce the amount of fuel you use (car, air travel, etc.), and reduce the amount of electricity you use. If you're interested, there are plenty of good resources on the net. I encourage you to so your own research, though you might find some of the links below to be useful.

Ever wonder why things are getting crazy in this world?

Have you ever wondered why world is heading down a spiraling tunnel of ever-worsening conditions?


"In those days after that tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it's light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the power in the heaven will be shaken."

After hearing the mass it gives me primeval shiver down my spine.
maybe because I'm one of the many who are afraid and who wants to postpone the return of Christ. habang nag hohomily si father in the back of my mind I've been hearing a lot about this “Mayan Calendar” and about 2012. Naiisip ko tlga hala! gusto ko pa makaexperience grumaduate, magka boyfriend at magtrabaho, gusto ko pa magtravel all over the world, magka-asawa at magka-anak. that's crazy talk.. lol.!! But seriously the priest in our parish taught me valuable lessons 1) Stay awake because you don’t know when the time will come 2) I must achieve what God wants me to do 3) The coming of Jesus Christ was not something to be feared rather it is something to be expected, to be prayed, and to be longed for. 4) I MUST CHANGE!! I have to make good on my life.

In Judgement day; moment of seperation..
lets ask oursleves.. are we in righteous or those who are not righteous.?? Whoooah! issss-carry!!
I have to experience the reward of eternal life.!!


The truth is Heaven and Earth may indeed pass away, but not before the Final Resolution in which good triumphs over evil and life over death. We don't know when or how that will happen. Those issues really don't matter. What does matter is that kailangan na natin magbago.

anyway, highway... Supposedly, last friday dapat manunuod kami ng 2012 pangit kasi ng sched kaya we ended up watching Tanging Pamilya.
I guess if you are as curious as i about this new dawning age, the movie 2012, will put to rest a fair amount of your questions.
Explosions, crashes, earthquakes, devestation, tidal waves, global warming everywhere in the news I am shocked that a glut of scorched earth post apocalyptic films have not been thrust upon us yet.

Nerd ba ko?

ba't ko naman na tanong yan. eh kasi wala lng. lahat ng blog entries ko eh puro tungkol sa school, school,school, school at school. Feel ko nerd ako. shheesh!!

Nothing new to report. Here it is. We all knew it had to come. We couldn't stop it. The first day of classes has arrived. But you know what? It's not all that bad. Actually, I am kind of glad that 2nd sem has started again. The first three days of my class turned out to be fantastic. I got up at 8 or 9am. having went to bed at the ridiculous time of 12pm (normally i don’t go to bed ’til 3am). gettting up is so bad. then again it’s a novelty, it won’t be so painless in a few weeks time once the weather gets worse and the school-ing gets harder. Everyone has been great kahit maraming ginagawa sa Society.. the energy is contagious. We got plenty of hours to kill. Roll on next week I say. btw Hillary Clinton went to my school. just sharing. hahaha!

Friday the 13th phobia? naaah. Pag ganito ang petsa people are afraid something tragic or ominous would happen. The origins of all this fear of the number 13 and Friday the 13th are open for debate.
Some say it has to do with a particular Friday the 13th in the 1300s, when some particularly unlucky knights were burned at the stake. Some people suspects it may have something to do with Jesus Christ, who was crucified on a Friday after a Last Supper attended by 13 people, one of whom was Judas Iscariot. and so on.. Ang mga araw na friday the 13th na dumaan sa buhay ko puro magaganda pa nga ang nangyayari. Simulan natin nyung 2nd year hs ako. Feb. 13, friday- Highschool night... lalalala.. love.. wag na natin ungkatin un. kinikilig lng ako. today is friday the 13th but things went well. why human beings first associated the number 13 with misfortune?? I don't buy any of this. kasi ganito lang yan people-- it is just a stupid superstition. pero sabi nga "There are only a few Friday the 13ths, so why test fate?"

sooo anyway.....

Together w/ Bey, Cezlie, Jm, Artutro and Joan we watched Tanging pamilya. I didn’t really have any interest in seeing this kind of movie. Pero masyado silang mapilit. so go lng despite the heavy rain. I went in with very low expectations but it ended up being not as bad as I thought it would be. I was actually entertained by this movie for some reason. It wasn’t particularly great in any way, shape or form, but for some reason I thought it was cute? (ano bang tamang term) I even found myself getting emotional when the wedding ceremony of Charlie and Prince was postponed then di tinuloy yung kasal. (sob..sob..sob)

VERIDBA S MIRJANOM

IAKO ima samo 21 godinu, već je stavio verenički prsten na ruku svoje devojke Mirjane, koju je upoznao bizarnim spletom okolnosti.-Verio sam se posle Univerzijade, kada sam dobio nekoliko slobodnih dana. Upoznali smo se na prilično neverovatan način, pre skoro dve godine. Taman sam počeo dobro da igram u Austriji i desi mi se da slomim nogu. Nisam mogao da verujem da sam toliki maler. Ispostavilo se da je dobro ispalo. Tražio sam da idem u Beograd na rehabilitaciju i posle dve-tri nedelje terapija, dan posle Nove godine, upoznao sam Mirjanu na reprizi novogodišnje noći. Da nisam slomio nogu, ne bi bilo ni veridbe.

>>I know you would not understand but I do.. AMP!!! it kinda hit me HARD right now..

sige nga hanapin mo dyan ung guy who choose to break my heart?

oh boy! right now he got me breaking down..!
I'm mad and I'm burning up.! yoah Mirjana, I want to kill you..

clearance/enrollment day

Damn!! I guess it was AB and Archi enrollment day but the Thomasian attendance is at an historic level. It’s my first time to experience a tougher time enrolling. Tengnginang pila yan. After the enrollment I stayed at school for awhile. Darn! It’s been pretty fun. Fun, fun, fun time with my college friends.!!

Our own version of Shiva. watcha think?

In addition, I'm going to have a new car and I will finally be settled into my new dorm.

Juggling is a skill that only a handful of people have but juggling classes and maintaining a social life is a skill that college students become a pro at. I shouldn’t be such a worrywart; instead go about this change with an optimistic mind and hopeful heart. If you are having trouble in school staying sane while keeping up with almost as many things, you can do it because the trick to juggling is just to keep a balance. Why I am saying this? Because in a few days my classes will be back again.. So far it’s not bad at all. In fact, I am excited for this semester; but aren’t we all in the beginning? but I can't help it, I was beginning to glance already ahead and take a look at the Christmas break..

Hope you all had a nice break and are still enjoying the excitement of the new semester.

More energy mas Happy.!!

Isa na ko sa pinaka masayang tao sa mundo. My gratitude to St. Jude, my prayers was answered. St. Jude has always helped me when things looked completely hopeless.I will always be your grateful servant St. Jude.

Big progress for my San Martin scholarship and I didn't fail any of my subjects for this sem. To tell you my Finance subject makes me anxious for the whole time. I'm aware that I didn't exert much effort on my Finance compare with my other subjects. Miraculously I passed. eh what more pa pala pag nagsisipag ako sa Finance.. Yebba!!

Thank You Lord.!!!

Kanina nakapag pagparehistro na ko. Darn it.!! The line is gonna take forever. I'm now registered voter. I'll be voting soon.

kanina kung alam nyo lang ang kagalinggan ng nanay ko makiusap at makasingit. hahaha!!!

I felt sya nagpapasweldo sa mga COMELEC. Sya naguutos kung anong gagawin, dakilang pakialamera at sya rin ang kaya naguutos sa mga COMELEC na unahin ako sa pila. hahaha!!

sa isang lakaran na tapos kami.. oha!! magkaroon ka ba naman ng nanay na ganyan. Madiskarte.!

I just want to share with you this picture that made me sick to my stomach.

Teach children academics not immorality.

Sembreak Baby

So okey ung previous na blog ko ay super delay. Yun ay ung panahon na magfi2nals na kami.

pero ngayon.. Finally, sembreak. It seemed like forever and now that it’s finally here, it’ll be over in a second and I can just imagine myself grudgingly going to my first class in November.
I can rest my mind and be away from all the stress from school..

To keep my little break organized, I will:

• Make love to sleep, unless I’m too busy tiring myself out with the TV and internet.
  
• Brave the cold ber-bers by going out on swimming excursions. Seriously, despite the tragedy of the floods, I caught myself wishing that I could go out for a swim.
  
• Throw money around on my trip and shopping. After all, you can’t bring money with you when you’re dead–only two gold coins for Charon the boatman!
  
• Make a date with my new flat screen tv and laptop.
  
• Wake up abnormally early para pumila sa Munisipyo and become a registered voter. Mom insists we should be there at 4 am tomorrow?? wtf!! Mom aren't you're aware of my habit of switching off the alarm and rolling under the blanket again.??
  

Finally, Halloween Season is upon us.. My favorite. Slowly creeping up, bringing down the temperatures and turning our thoughts to all things spooky and imaginative. Huzzah! Salamat sa ancient tribe na Celts because of them may halloween tayo. I'm a Halloween Scholar, I've grown up watching Halloween movies all my life, and I have a healthy obsession with all things undead!

I'm looking for something scary to do for Halloween. Scare my little cousins? nah. taon taon ko ng ginagawa yan.. Halloween in the Philippines is being silent as the grave around here di uso dito spend the remaining days and nights going to haunts, pumpkin patches, eating candy, and a vicious variety of Halloween events. It's just because kaming mga Pilipino sa ganitong mga panahon mas prioridad ang mga mahal sa buhay na pumanaw. Pumunta sa sementeryo, magdasal, magtirik ng kandila.

Anyway this is the Halloween costume I've been wanting. Since wala naman akong Halloween party na pupuntahan at sa bahay lang naman ako. Probably sa 19th birthday ko na lng toh pwedeng gamitin. Gagawin kong costume party ang birthday ko. Can u just imagine a girl wearing this for her birthday??

ang cool dba?

Anxious Days and Sleepless Nights

The past weeks had gone really wild. Literally. From the insane load of works (school stuff) to you-can-never-imagine torturous exams.. I felt that everything that is "on-going" in my world was such a disaster. Having "sleepless nights" were never new to me, as if it's part of my being that i can't shut my eyes unless its two or three in the morning (and back then, those nights were senseless at all - doing Nothing). But for these past weeks, everything turned the other way around that i am now pre-occupied up to like 3 or 4 a.m. These sleepless nights beget to more sleepless nights.

My biggest problem is my mind starts going and well. It's the worst feeling one can get. I could be laying in bed, tossing around and turning. My eyes are closed but my mind just keeps wandering and not able to fall asleep. Though I function normally the next day.

I'll be up at 1am listening to music and surfing the internet (almost all of them), stressing out that I'm not doing my assignment/recitation/exam studying. And the longer I wait to start, the more I guarantee that I'll have to stay up later and later to finish it. And, ironically, one of the many reasons I use to convince myself not to start is that I'm too tired.

Overnight at Joan's place part II. This time kasama sila Krizia and Cien.

ito ung gabi ng walng tulugan tlga. We have to finish load and load of school works.. I remember may quiz kami sa Nat. Sci at Math. di ko alam natutulog na pla ako. Damn!! Good thing I still managed to pass my quizzes despite my sleepiness.. Oh college life.!! Stop torturing us.!!

But alas!! first sem is over.

I want to kill my professor in math even in history.. Our finals are crucial type...! It's common for people to have intrusive violent thoughts like these. Anger just makes me want to go on a stabbing spree.

I had such high hopes for college.. My math is making me emotionally unsettled And even though I don't do my work due to lack of motivation and pessimism. I've started to have panic attacks and frequently feel like throwing up. In all things it is better to hope than to despair..

This blog really does...blogging for me now is a reliever but for all the things that is lined up for me to do, NOT YET.

It's a crazy life

First off, I would like to sincerely apologize for not writing for a while. It has been very hectic lately and I have struggled with finding time to let loose and confess all here.

Lots of stuff happened while this blog went to sleep mode again.

But every once in a while, I will get on here and post photos.

My weekdays were going just great. I was able to meet all my deadlines. Classes. Homework. Exams. Cocurricular commitments. Papers. A lot of Thomasians right now are starting to feel the weight of the semester. Magfifinals na. I'm stressed. It's just part of going to school. But I've been totally slacking off.

Sleep over at Joan's place. We're both very excited but so well behaved.

Eating, eating followed by some dancing.

Joan was insomniac and I shared my own battle. Filling our mind with positive, uplifting music.

At 2am we went to bed.. Still no progress. It’s 4:00 AM and the clock on the wall is chiming a melancholy tune to remind me that "may pasok ka pa ng maaga." We surfed the net for some crazy antics. Try to YouTube Kim Dong Won he is so fhhaking hilarious... Making me more unable to go back to sleep because we're having so much fun. Non-stop story sharing, giggling and all. I got up at 6:30 am. I really didn't want to get up, but it was time to go. I really enjoyed the night at Joan's place and wouldn't mind doing it again anytime. Sleepless night-causing my sluggishness during classes. I can't help it I was catching Z’s instead in my math class.

It's been one week since my overly extended class suspension, I am still not quite into the mindset of being back at school. I always got pretty sleepy...I just cannot sleep, get up. I've been laying in bed staring at the ceiling then get up. Making me groggy and very cranky during the next day. Is there anything I can do to reset my internal alarm clock..? I should start a sleep/bedtime ritual. Hopefully I can shake this after a few days. But right now it is just no fun. I managed to sleep on the bus nonetheless.

Gusto ko ng magsem break..

Pure random

I'm feeling a little out of sorts today, so I've decided to just post whatever I'm in the mood to blog about. No day of posting international hottie photos would be complete without acknowledging my hubby. hahaha!!

I watched What Happens in Vegas for 3times and it seems that I can't get enough of That 70's show because of Ashton Kutcher. He bears a close resemblance to my future husband Nemanja Bjelica..

Ashton Kutcher

What do you think??

Yesterday I went to UST.. the UST Sociological Society- Community Development launched the “OPLAN TULONG NG KA-SOCIOng TOMASINO SA MGA BIKTIMA NI ONDOY" I go in the morning with my Co-USTSS Officers and classmates.. I felt the like I should embrace the opportunity to help out the victims of Ondoy.  Watching the victims of Ondoy at news really getting me down.. I feel as if I am going insane with sadness. I’ve been very impressed at how well-run the packing of goods at at the Tan Yan Kee. There was a bit of an experience. I mean it rained so hard and it rained for so long. We got stranded at Tinoco park. Kunwari kalma lang ako but really I'm so nervous. Tumataas ung tubig and we can no longer see the place cause its raining so hard. I felt maiistranded kami sa school. so pagtila ng ulan right away umalis na kami. pheew! what a relief.!!

My favorite. It was a success shot.

I don't want to do anything - I am enjoying having the option of doing very little for the first week of class suspension.. I have very little excuse lol! I will stop now - might go and finish my paperworks hence why I haven't finished it. I have to finish it by tomorrow. May pasok na kami sa monday. I hate it. hate it.hate it. hate it.
