donah, mary, me and jopet. time flies when you're having fun.  

Panaghoy Sa Suba

i went to see a movie the other day. i think it was great. Panaghoy sa Suba or Call of the River. the movie gave me a sense of pride for my country. i am so proud to be a Filipino and the movie just mad me even more proud. if i could have things my way, i would probably be on the streets right now joining the few people who raise their voices with picket signs in their hands. but i can't do that. maybe not now. not now that i still depend so much on my parents and continue to live from their money. 2 or 3 years from now. i'll be on my own.

tell me your dreams

just finished a book by sidney sheldon. he's really a genius, a superb writer and a colorful imagination. i've always loved fiction. some people like non-fiction but for me fiction books are great companions and one way of escaping reality for just a minute and use the imagination for a while. i don't care about facts anyway, i don't care if the events in the books i've read didn't actually happen. what i care about is that i enjoy them and although i believe that the end does not justify the means, i see this case as an exemption.
the book is actually about a person who has multiple personality disorder. she brutally killed five men but did not have any knowledge of the killings because her alter (her other personality)did it. there are actually two other persons living inside her. it must be very painful to know something like that. anyways, the police, the FBI and all the other authorities were able to trace the killer, in her person, and she was tried. the trial was highly publicized and almost all of the people (in the whole world probably) believe her to be guilty of the bloody murders. she was tried, her lawyer had a hard time but in the end, eventhough the jury has made the decision that she is guilty, the judge dismissed the case in her favor because the judge saw evidence that she really has alters. she had therapy and after a few years she got better. the doctors think that she is cured but i don't know, sidney sheldon gave me a hanging end there. i think her alter took over her again in the end. oh well. so that was it.
it is amazing how we sometimes cannot control ourselves. the multiple personality disorder thing, it's creepy just to even think about it. imagine one or more people living inside you and you don't even know who they are and yet they are you. it's confusing. oh well.
i went to the shore this afternoon after i got home from school. i wanted to take a picture of the beach and stuff, i want to enter this nature photography contest. well i know that i don't have a chance against all the other probably professionals with their high quality cameras but hey i want to take a "shot" at it. at least i tried and who knows i might win. the prize though isn't much but it doesn't matter to me anyway.
so anything else i did today? walked in the rain, yep i almost forgot..with kaycee and jopet. i think i'm gonna have a fever. when i say something is going to happen, it usually doesn't happen so i probably will be just fine.
and oh tomorrow, i'll go watch a film..in cebuano..i'm sure i'll love it..

me and papa..on Sinulog

shrink

i am upset!! very upset!! can i die now?

The Klutz

i seem like a magnet for trouble. not big trouble really just minor ones. they're not really trouble even, people call them accidents. i have cuts and wounds everywhere in my body. i have 2 cuts in my right hands, my little finger got stuck in the jeepney's door opener and it is still a bit sore right now. my left hand just recovered from a minor cut caused by ya knife.(sometimes i slice vegetables while watching TV and well you know what happens when people do that) i have a dark blue spot just below my knees which i don't really know where i got it from. i bump into a lot of things and it's a miracle that i'm still alive today. i'll try to be more careful next time. well, i'll try to be more careful all the time.

This is my poem

im in this room, absently staring at the
speaker in front
he's talking about things related to auditing
which i believe is useless
these things won't come out during the exams
which will be this saturday, 3 days from now
i just remembered, gosh, i didnt know; time flies by so fast
four days seem like one

anyway, im writing down my thoughts
at this moment
really just trying to give poetry a shot
the speaker's voice is buzzing in the air,
he's a good friend of mine
i thought he was gay, the first time i met him
but now i know he isnt 'coz he boasts a lot
about the many girlfriends and flings he's had
he looks like a very important man in the senate

anyway, what im writing down does not sound like poetry
doesnt look like poetry, doesnt smell
or even taste like poetry
the words don't even rhyme, oh well
but we have what's called free verse
so i guess this is acceptable

caps.
this classmate in the front looks like a baseball player
what with his cap and gum?
put in the bat and tight pants and he's ready to play
i don't like people who chew gums in class
this poem is no poem at all
maybe this isn't a poem
maybe this is a song
i think i have a future in this one
i'll write songlike poems for famous singers
wow, then the world will watch those
singers go down because of my compositions
ok, now's the time to get serious
only 30 minutes left before dismissal
i'll use 5 minutes to concentrate
on things and look into my poetic side

now here goes:

carl is speaking
all about auditing
while i am writing
without even thinking

i see my teacher
she is standing up now
the room feels like a freezer
aircon should be turned off, but how?
and how rhymes with wow
now do you think i should bow?

hahaha!!
that's it. that's my poem
my trying hard, amateur poem.

whhooo....strange..

i feel so down today. i dont know. today feels kinda creepy. my hair's standing on ends. is this normal? oh well. probably coz today's a monday.

with nothing left to do

i had a very busy day today. donah, mitch and i went to a bank and asked for some brochures we didnt really need. we had to lie to get into the bank. all we wanted to do was to tour the central bank, it was our first time and we felt like bank robbers or something. it was kinda empty inside but anyways our next stop was the university next to it. we went in to see the book fair and look for some good books. the fair wasnt really what i had in mind. i was thinking of rare books being displayed and cpa board examinations reviewers but all i saw were children's books and elementary textbook materials. i had asked some money from my mother to buy a reviewer, should i give it back since i havent bought one? of course i will, im a good girl. next stop is the sinulog bazaar on the other side of the street. lots of colorful and tempting displays but i can't buy one coz i dont have money, huhu. im always broke. on wednesday i opened an account in the bank hoping that it will grow sometime in the future. if i keep on depositing say 1000 pesos every month i would be a millionaire in like 20-30 years from now.. wow i'd probably be dead by then, hope not. why does the bank give so little interest anyway. oh well. gotta get back to the trivia.. im losing my position.. i have to be on the first ten best players..haha but which happened only once..
