x ang gusto kong unang letter ng title ng blog ko

naalala ko na may blogpost akong tungkol sa mga ex-. nakakatawa :)

pano na yung mga ex-crush?

sige, pag-usapan nga natin yan. bakit ba nauso-uso yang crush na yan? bakit kailangan ginagawan pa yan ng kanta nila jennifer paige, mandy moore, at david archulina, i mean, archuleta (among others)? bakit kailangan pag-usapan ito ng mga bata mula gradeschool hanggang mga matatandang kagaya ng lola ko (na nagagwapuhan kay dr hayden coh)?

anu ba ang crush para sayo?

buti nalang ang crush ay hindi kasing undefinable ng distant relative niyang si "love". ang crush kasi pwede mong hanapan ng synonym na synonym talaga: paghanga. e ang love? ano bang synonym niya? ang makapagbigay ng synonym na pinakasakto ay magkakamit ng... (get ready)... MASIGABONG PALAKPAKAN!

hindi din kasing permanente ni love si crush. at hindi kasing loyal. kasi pwede kang magkaron ng 1,766 na crush at one given moment pero yung totoong romantic love e isa lang (diumano) at any given time. ang taray no?

pero ang maganda kay crush ay na very versatile siyang gamitin. pwede kang magkacrush dahil mabait. o kaya dahil nakakatawa. or dahil gwapo. or mabango. or dahil matalino. or dahil basta. yung tipong natuwa ka lang. crush mo na. yehey.

anyhoo.

puputulin ko na muna ito. pero ang bottomline: masayang magkacrush. mas madami, mas exciting! hahahaha! parang pringles nanaman. once you pop, you can't stop!

at kaya ko ito puputulin ay dahil pinagagalitan na ako ng nanay ko. pambihira lang.

paalam!

very early in the morning

2:08 ang sabi ng relo dito sa laptop. i trust it enough to believe it. ibig sabihin umaga na.

*hindi ko feel gamitin yung pausong words na "good mornyt". mornyt. mornight. morning na night. dahil ba madilim na? ganun ba yun? ang mornyt ba ay kalebel ng afternoon? kasi ang afternoon maliwanag na PM, so ang mornight ay madilim na AM? wala lang. naisip lang.

*napakahirap talagang sumagot ng leading questions, no? yung tipong alam na alam mo naman na kung anung gusto nung kausap mo na isagot mo, pero pipilitin mo parin na iba yung isagot para lang iba yung isagot mo kasi ayaw mong mabagsak sa stereotype. nakakainis mag-isip. hahaha.

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY DAVID DICIANO JR!

*alalahanin nating lahat na renewable ang mga libro sa library. kung hindi pa natin sila tapos gamitin, pwede natin sila iparenew para hindi tayo magbabayad ng malaking halaga. pfffffft.

*posible talagang isang kanta lang ang magustuhan mo sa isang artist. yan ang naging kaso sakin (so far) sa secondhand serenade. dahil na-high ako sa kantang "fall for you" nag-imeem ako para magpakalulong sa kanila. ngunit hindi ko masyadong type yung mga napakinggan ko. kaya bumalik ako kay Ingrid Michaelson. dahil sadyang nakakatuwa siya para sakin.

*maraming bagay na akala natin kabisado na natin ang hindi pa talaga natin alam fully. kunyari, may isang masahista. akala niya lahat ng technique sa mundo alam na niya. himas, hampas, haplos, palo, bugbog, suntok, pindot, dutdot, lamas, lamutak. todo, lahat daw alam na niya. pero nagpunta siya sa workshop at natuklasan niyang meron pala siyang hindi nagagawa: ang sabunot.

*nakakaduling talaga magbasa ng pdf.

*pwede bang kiligin ng unti lang? pwede? sige na... hihihihihi :)

*goodmorning philippines. goodmorning world :)

fear

i may seem like a jack of all trades, master of none.

i do music, i play some sports, i do well in school, i draw, i write, i (kinda) drive, etc. etc.

but there is one thing i know i cannot do well.

I CANNOT DANCE.

so i tremble at the thought of dancing at the batch ball. in front of all my batchmates. and their dates.

goodness. this is what you call...

...FEAR.

figure it out

last thursday my dad brought me to his doctor-friend at the Philippine General Hospital. Dr Josef gave me some tips on how to go about the interview come monday (which is tomorrow, by the way). Keep answers concise. Answer from the heart. Take your time to think. Don't answer things you are not sure of. State your opinions. Etc, etc.

He asked me when i thought about going into medicine. And i said it was in my third year of high school, when the CSI fever came over me. And he said (in between lines) that that wouldn't be a good enough answer. So i thought about the question while we were on the way home.

Why would i want to be a doctor? Why would i want to waste about 10 more years of life studying and studying to get into a profession that would give me little money if i were to rely on it as the sole source of my income? Why would i want to risk life and limb to meet, talk to, diagnose, and try to cure people i hardly knew?

I prayed about this. I prayed and asked the Lord what my best answer would be. And He gave it to me. The God of wonders gave it to me just like that.

I wanted to become a doctor because I loved HIM.

In the story in John 21:15-17, Jesus commands Peter to show Him his love by feeding and caring for His lambs and sheep. Hence, the Lord also commands us to do the same if we want to show our love for Him.

The cliche answer "I want to be a doctor to serve humanity" is only a secondary reason. The primary reason behind my wanting to be a doctor is because I want to show God that I love Him by caring for Hhis sheep and lambs.

It was very fitting that Tita Mely asked this question during her servant today: ARE YOU BEING A CHRISTIAN IN YOUR WORKPLACE?

I would like to be a Christian in my workplace. I still have to work on it. There are lots of rough spots that God wants to smoothen. There are still some impurities that need to be cleaned off. There is still a lot of work to be done. And I trust that God will do it. In His time.

I am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to try out for this medical school. I am sad that some of my friends didn't get in, but I know that God has a plan for each of us.

Jeremiah 29:11. "For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for."

Let's pray for all of us who will be going through the interview process. I give special mention to my friends Mia Carandang, Pot Torres, Zane Nelson, Rico Flosa, Sarah Tagum, Babe Tagomata, David Diciano, Anne Barraquio, TJ Uy, Ramon Mata, Anna Robles and Raymond Lozada. Apologies to those I forgot to name. That is exactly what happened, i forgot to name you.

To my zooperwild friends, I pray for our futures. I know in my heart that God has greatness in store for us.

See you on the flipside :)

Labs,

You bring communication and empathy into people's lives.
You are very open and understanding. You can accept difficult people.

Right now, your life is about being understood. You have trouble with your own vulnerability.

You will take time out for those you love, even if you don't have much time. You can't help but be nurturing.
You are very responsible and ethical. You deliver on your promises.

kung ikaw ay inlab

i love joy williams. maraming beses ko na yun sinabi before. pero i was quit struck by one of her songs. ang title ay "i'm in love with you" and it's a song she wrote for her husband of almost five years. sabi ni joy williams, ang bawat isang line daw sa kantang yun ay galing sa diary niya. pinakikinggan ko kanina and i found it to be very very VERY sweet. i long for the day na makantahan ko ang lalakeng ibibigay sakin ni Lord ng ganitong kanta :)

eto yung lyrics niya. hindi ko kasi mahanap sa imeem yung song at hindi ako makapag-upload.

I've been waiting all my life for this morning
Just to wake up next to you holding me
And your head is resting gently on my shoulder
Like you're whispering to me

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
So glad I found you
I'm in love with you

When we're leaving dreams and rolling back the covers
All at once we're getting ready for the day
It's when you look at me in the mirror while you're shaving
Before I go on my way, you say

I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose
Cause I'm in love

Love is joy and love is pain
It's kissing in the rain
It's doing dishes when it's late
Isn't it, baby
It's the art of compromise
It's hellos and long goodbyes
It's the picture of our lives
Isn't it crazy

So I'll call you when I get to where I'm going
And I'll tell everyone we know you said hello
And without fail they'll ask me if I miss you
Of course I do, you know I do

Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose

I'm in love
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I love you just the same as I did the day
I fell in love with you

Becoming Jane

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
Maybe I'm just a fan of period movies, biopics, Anne Hathaway, and unusually handsome men. Or maybe the movie really is good.

"Becoming Jane" is a movie about the life of Jane Austen and how her own journe through life influenced the books she wrote.

The movie site says:
"Jane Austen lit up the world with her words, wit, and wisdom. But her life was too stoked by passion and romance. At the age of tweny she met and fell in love with Tom Lefroy and their relationship sparks a tale as real and romantic as her greatest work."

Jane Austen was born poor in 18th century England and she discovered her knack for writing early on in her life. As in the early society, young ladies would be presented before society and theywould be "up for grabs" for any rich man who would desire. Jane was one fof those young women, but she was one who believed in marrying for love and not money.

Tom Lefroy was a young man from a poor family. He was living in Ireland with his uncle (who was a judge) to train as a lawyer. He met and fell in love with Jane when he went to England with he brother. They were a perfect match, intellectually, physically, and emotionally. However, it was not a match made in heaven because he was poor, she was poor, and they needed money to live.

Perhaps one of the movie's most memorable lines came from Jane Austen's mother:
"Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable."
How very, very true. In the end, Lefroy and Jane didn't end up together because Jane found out that Lefroy was still supporting his parents and his siblings. Although she loved him immensely, even getting to a point when she was willing to elope with him, she realized it would be very selfish of her to "steal" Lefroy from his family. So Jane ends up never marrying.

I'm a romantic, and this movie quite satisfied my appetite for romance. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy was undeniable, and the entire movie showcased a side of Anne that we are used to seeing but, at the same time, have never seen before. If you loved her in the Princess Diaries, Ella Enchanted, and The Devil Wears Prada, this is another movie to love her in. Anne Hathaway captured convincingly the independence of heart and mind Jane Austen (i suppose) wanted to show.

If you remember James McAvoy from "Wanted", this movie shows him in a different light as Tom Lefroy. Far from the idealistic young man who was out killing people just because it seemed that they were required to die, the character of Tom Lefroy as the young lawyer trying to work his way up in society who falls in love with Jane Austen was one of the reasons why the movie was so real and so very romantic.

or maybe it was all just because James McAvoy looked so hot in the Englishman attire he wore for the most part of the movie. and because the way he would look at Jane would make you wish those ice blue eyes were staring at you instead.

five stars!

emu-emuhan nanaman ako

if i were to die tomorrow, how many people would be at my wake?

if i were to be hospitalized for an illness so severe, how many people would be at my bedside?

if i were to be married, how many people would want to be there to see me at one of the happiest days of my life?

if i were to ask for someone to stay with me at my lowest moment, how many people would put aside what they were doing to do that for me?

if i were to cry without warning, how many people would care enough to ask why and actually take the time to listen?

if i were to stop speaking, how many people would notice?

if i were to leave tomorrow for a faraway place, how many people would miss me?

probably not many. because i haven't been the most exceptional person in the world.

emu-emuhan nanaman ako. dahil sa eyeliner.
