well, well, well. been a sooooper long while of not posting. with them storms, exams, school events, paper works and all that comes with the likes, its hard to find spare time to do so. since June, many things had happen. with everything comes the stress, the drama, the dread on certain things. but everything (with God) turned out to be fine.

went through a lot of performing over the semester. my dancing skills had an abrupt reemergence since high school was over and done. from buwan ng wika folk dance number up to the cheerdance competition and the recent school drama play, active is insufficient to describe all the things i've been through, because everything is poppin' fresh from this talented folk. ;D ahaha.

exams and more on the way, busy is quite a word i've been close friends with. ofcourse, facebook and twitter addiction continued. only that my phone app broke down, been stickin' with me old laptop to update. (and we got wi-fied. haha.) ;D watta goody.

movie craving never stopped though. marathons here and there. its a passion. its love. more movies have been addded to my fave list. starting with Kung Fu Panda, G.I. Joe, T2: Revenge of the Fallen, Drag Me to Hell and many more. talk about movies, never been scared when i watched Shutter. a film way back, heard of it but never dared to watch it. hearing soooper scary reviews, (anxious yet enticed) i grabbed a sit and watched it with classmates on one weary school day. (thanks to Sir Pascua and his laptop). dang! it was a scream fest. it scared the shit out of me. i get easily startled that is why i despise horror flicks. ahaha.

nearing Christmas and another sem, greater...my mom is coming home! soooper sweet! by the end of the month, dearest mother will spend a month back here in the Phils. dozens of plans. go out of the country, go regional or island hopping or just mall galore, either ways im soooper excited. barely can't wait. and i promise i'd keep ya'll posted. so, that would be all the sharing for now. be back sooner. God bless. adieu!

Hello friends, another post here. It has been a very hot and wonderful summer as always for the vacation season. Some spent it elsewhere like the beach, out of town resorts, a trip abroad or even visited relatives in the provinces.

Me you ask? Well, I spent my summer with a few overnight gigs with friends and mostly at home. I found my summer job being the household and Alfred, my nephew. Yes, I went from sweeping & mopping the floor, to dog-feeding, to dishwashing and to babysitting. What could I say? It’s what we call hard-hitting fun.

But sad to say, the months-long break is ending and another school year is coming up and preparations are non-stop. I’m sure everybody wants more of that ecstatic vacay but is excited for the start of school. I mean, we do miss our school buddies when we’re on vacation right? Haha. I did.

Back to the summer vacation, how did you spend yours? Apart from being the household guy, I also kept myself busy with the internet. I got hooked to Twitter. For those who are yet introduced to Twitter - it is for the exchange of short status messages seen by other Tweeples. (twitter people. :D) instead of friends, you’ve got the people you follow and your followers. You see the updates of the people you follow likewise; people who follow you see your updates. It cool now huh? Haha. I just enrolled last week (thanks to Matt for being with me) have a dull Tuesday-Thursday schedule. But the hell with it, at least I am off for the rest of the day. :D seems we are off for another fun-filled and exciting school year. Break a leg!

Good day mates, it’s been another semester and my time has been quite short for updates. Well, here I am, writing a new blog.It is yet another great summer which is up and the joy can’t be hidden. My face is like swelling with a smile for weeks now, after the results of my final exams and grades. It just came to me that I just don’t go to school to get allowance, see my friends, and mingle and everything, but I do study. Perhaps I did. My grades gone great but were unexpected. But still, thank God. Seems I am off to a good start, to another fantastique summer vaca.

Ok, so North Korea launches a missile, Pacquiao’s match with Hatton is fast approaching, Obama’s on his first 100 days, it’s lent and I am turning 18. And they say its recession. But who the hell cares? Although we are much affected, as it seems, with the global financial crisis, isn’t that the rough times are those times that we should be positive? Damn its recession, but we need to take a break from thinking ‘bout problems, and it is my freaking 18th BIRTHDAY, well that occasion doesn’t count. Ha-ha. I simply just wanted to tell everyone to have fun although money is scarce, wear a smile although jobs are scarce. Be thankful every time and in a way, it’ll minus the stress and lines up on our faces and we can find better solutions to, as we call it, these complicated times.

Talk about lent, it is also that very time to think over and repent. It’s all about the ultimate sacrifice. Him. Jesus. Where did you spend the holy week? Me? I stayed at home, gone off to church and watch masses over the telly. I also went to a nearby prayer sanctuary known as the “Field of Faith” to reflect and pray. It’s located up a nearby mountain, yet not that far. Many people were there to pray and to relax with family. Simple but well spent days huh? Its recession. Erase extravagant. Hihee.

April is such a glorious month, not that it is my birthday, (reiteratively reminding you) but because it is vacation. More time to swim and go wild under the burning sun, family bonding, time for driving lessons, reunions and go someplace else where fun is written all over. Off to vacation. Happy Summer folks!

just last week, we had our pre-final exams and it was, as usual, nerveracking and as diffucult as it gets closer to finale. and looks like it turned out fine.

well, on to my weekend, my bestfriend threw a bday bash with an overnight swimming party, and it was fun-filled, certainly fun-tastic. sounds unbelievable but, it was my first actual overnight party to attend at, to the exception that it is not part of a school gig like a farewell party of maybe xmas party. and i was the neophyte. haha. i so did enjoy the party.

the asking for permission was like processing for travel abroad, where i have to undergo various interview with my fam.

  • my father was the embassy like, for visa application and approval
  • dearest mum, airport security join forces with baggage counter and wardrobe dept
  • kuya, the Thomas Cook, ticketing location of party venue, the easiest
  • big sis, financial release and my very own foreign consul. i tell, this is the hardest part

and i end up going to the party. it kicked off with karaoke singing, food eating and card games. swimming afterwards. i got drunk. i bit. i guess. ahaha. well it wasn’t like out of control or something. i just laughed harder and louder. pretty intense effect. 2 shot and my world spun around. haha. weak u say? em for lights. anyways, we called it a night and we didn’t had the chance to sleep so, when i came home, all i want to see is the bed and dose off. zzz.

it was a rewarding weekend, after all the exams and reviews for the pre-fi. so until then, happy Edsa Revolution Anniv and congrats to newly Oscar winners. Au revoir.

Dieu benir.

ps. at last, Kate Winslet owned it. very much.

our midterms are finally over and Obama stepped it up as the 44th US President was and still the most celebrated person since he triumphed over the election. last weeks headlines. well, on to a new week. formostly, Gong Xi Fa Cai! its chinese new year. it is year of the earth ox. in chinese astrology, the ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hardwork. the ox is also known to be persevere and is a born leader. lets hope these traits would be reflected during times like this, when the world suffers economic crises.

to award seasons. kudos to kate winslet grabbing 2 globes for actress both in lead and supporting roles for the reader and revolutionary road. a big salute to the late heath, who won best supporting actor for his role as joker in the dark knight. the globes was cute but not unlike the upcoming oscars, bigger! sad to see that revolutionary road didn't get any attention from the academy, though it was a great movie. 15th nomination for meryl streep, record queen for most nominations. anne hathaway's first and angelina's 2nd. thought of kate as her fifth and maybe, just maybe her first oscar for the reader. brad has one for benjamin button which i should say is a best picture. love the story. great plot. sean penn also has one nod for milk and globe winner mickey rourke for the wrestler. one the, i should say cute nods is for a dude playing a dude disguise as another dude, robert downey getting his oscar nod for trophic thunder. wow. great actors. great show. im sure id watch that. haha. ciao for now.
