Inter- U 2007

The whole Inter-U went well thanks to the diligent and brillant members of the Inter-U team. Aside from a few glitches. Made by me. Thanks to my lack of focus and utter stupidity, I called the correct answers 'wrong' and vice versa. Imagine how my heart drops when I hear the disagreement of the audience. Aside from that, the audience loved me and Janine as we did the very perky and funny hosting of the event. Not to mention screwing up the opening spiel amidst gales of laughter. Sadly, this would be my last Inter-U as a member of the org. Actually, last KEM Month na rin. And to think the first half of my last Catharsis is our 125 exam. *closes fists in rage*

I still have to study.

oh no!

The Ravenclaws have a hugging thread!

*runs away*

The very long weekend is not spent well. I have spent at most 30 minutes for academic work, most of it worrying about postponed 141 presentation. A lot of it spent sleeping, and eating (or more like gorging on food, although that's the same in my book). Anyway, shift to the Great 141 Overnight. And when I say 141 I mean, Temptation Island.

So, TI is overly popular these days, because of the hilarious youtube videos. Heck, they even have a compilation of the "best" of TI. That only means we watched a few videos. I was never the same ever since.

Here is my favorite quotes from the movie:
1. "Bertdey na naman ng bruha..."
2. "Sabihin mo kay Vicente, ihanda ang Mercedes Charcoal Gray.."
3. "Careful, careful now.." (while Deborah Sun is rubbing the upper part of the bida/kontrabida's chest; this was supposed to be erotic back then)
4. "What are bitches for but to bitch around with other bitches..."

There are lots more (you should go ahead to youtube and watch them), and they are equally funny, but realize that this movie is actually a Bomba film in the 70s.

I actually accomplished little in this overnight of ours, but Jasser and I managed to finish the Inter-U video, which I will be uploading here as soon as it makes its world premiere on Aug 22. Anyway, just sitting or sleeping or eating with friends on a rainy day is fun. Except that they were preoccupied with their anime/games while I was trying to study for EgyE exam, and falling asleep every 10 words or so. The EgyE lectures are hopeless, as far as staying awake is concerned. That's why I erased all the puyat I had on the first few days of the week, mainly because of the early wake-ups because I need to travel 1.5 hours (if the traffic is okay) to get to school. But I keep sleeping when I travel.

Unfortunately, my 1.5-hour trip home yesterday lasted 4 hours. I left Janine's at 5 pm, and was at MRT Ayala at 6 pm, but got home at 9 pm. The SLEX part was 3 hours: 1 hour before we reached Skyway tollgate, 1.2 hours to Sucat 0.5 hours to Alabang and 0.3 hours for the jeep and trike ride. I hope I get less of this as I continue going home from school every day. I still resent not having an apartment close to school anymore. And I have good reasons. Like the other day when I almost died, because a man was hurrying to get off the MOVING bus. I was first at the bus' door and he kept pushing me. The bus was still moving so I didn't want to get off. But because of his persistent pushing and grumbling, he managed to push me out of the bus. AND, I clung on a part of the bus and swinged outside as the bus slows down. It was a scene out of an action movie, and perhaps funny for the spectators. but MY LIFE AND/OR FACE WAS AT STAKE, so no laughing. But of course, I can laugh it off now. One quote from the man who probably had a full bladder or something, "Haharang-harang ka, di ka naman pala bababa!". Right, like I would jump from a moving bus. You should try it sometime, on Skyway when the bus seems to be ready to take off (like an airplane).

And, I should really focus on this Plant Design thingy. It might help me graduate. Or something.

my list of 20

Since people get sucked in to popular things all the time, I'm doing my 20 things I would want to say to some people, but is hindered by social rules, or whatever. (Pasensya na, English lahat ito.)

>I wish we can put aside our differences, and/or our immaturity and move on.

>I really don't know what exactly to say to you, or how I should feel towards you, but I sincerely believe you that you are sorry. But I can't forgive you yet.

>You never really cared about us. So here's your money, bye.

>Please stop and look at what you are doing.

>Have you submitted your write-ups? I hope you did. Because if not, I'm gonna KEEL you! (this one's obvious)

>Realize that loving you would be easier if you don't have a wall around you. Let me in sometimes.

>It seems that sometimes I hate you. Most of the time, yes, I hate you, but your optimism surprises me. I don't want to hate you as much as I did. But do your part too.

>I didn't know why I wanted this, but as of now, I want to give this up, at least 50% of me wants to.

>I really don't give a damn.

>Oh yes, you scammed me, but someday, you'll be scammed bigtime.

>I'm sorry I'm not the person you wished me to be.

>Please slow down a bit, and check if we're still enjoying the ride.

>A little compassion won't hurt.

>No, we're still number one.

>I was never against you. I know that you are very talented, but this job's hers. I hope you understand and forgive me if ever you felt that I wasn't a very good friend. Actually, I trusted in your capabilities once.

>I should thank you both for not choosing me. I went on to do more wonderful things. I'm sorry if I felt bad and held a grudge.

>Sorry if I didn't live up to your expectations, but you shouldn't be as harsh as you are now. People are not robots.

>I blame myself for taking this class under you.

>Do I rant too much? Yes I do.

>Live a little.

updates-seriously

I have a new multiply account, actually my first, which has been taking so much time. And I won't synchronize this blog with the multiply blog. Maybe not now.

So, go:
peelingpotatoes.multiply.com

And, I passed my CAPES application and now in the publications (career handbook) committee. Yay! Ok. That's all. For now. Will rant later.
