Yep, new layout ^___^
and I made it!
well, not quite; I copied the "skeleton" off from a blog skin by ambivalente. err, I didn't aske permission, though. is that bad? *worries* at the very least, I put a credit link to her.
so, my layout: Plastic Fantastic by me. Featuring the Lovely Holga toy camera and some sample pictures. It could e better, but I like it enough. Nice first attempt, I'll say. But hey, I made it; I'm bound to say that ^_^;.

Ack, totally forgot that it's the last day of the month. I've become quite attached to this idle lifestyle, but I want to have some action too! I'm actually dreaming of my days in my new college. Haha, I know that it's not sure yet, but I've got to be confident to "win"! Or maybe this is already part of the mayabang category? Sigh. There are sooo much to worry about, like
-if I have what it takes to be part of the course
-if I can manage to pass the iffy hard subjects included at the course (like advanced chemistry and calculus)
-if I could become successful in this industry
-if I truly, madly want to really do this, or if I'd one day wake up and realize that this isn't my way at all
see?! this is so, so, so complicated. sighhhh.
in other news
I gave this site a new layout! hurts my eyes though. haha! would someday learn to make my own layouts. whee~
I'm missing "Desperate Housewives" and "Gilmore Girls," which used to be my only links to the TV. "FRIENDS" too. I wanna buy DVDs of said shows, but I'm occupied with Harry's last battle (and my favorite pairing, Ron/Hermione. haha!) as it is. I've figured it out, too; I need to save half my allowance everyday. Easy-Peasy! I'm not taking breaktimes anymore for this. hehe.
Apparently, the last installment of the Harry Potter series would be worth P1450.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was worth P1500 so I shouldn't complain, but it's still horrifyingly expensive! Well at least I got a heads up; July 21 gives me a month to prepare for "battle" (classes would resume on June12, so, using my allowance, I've got 1 month! but I'd have to exclude weekends in the computation, so...).
There's no denying it, though, 2007 is a BIG year for Harry Potter. It's the only year that a book and a movie's going to be shown at the same year. And it's The End too. I've anticipated for this time ever since I've been a fan. It's been a long time, but at the same time, it'll be a hard goodbye. Sometimes, I have these "what if JK Rowling had an accident before she finishes book 7?" moments, which are kinda morbid, but valid all the same.
I loved the Harry Potter series; some may think that it's about the occult and the seduction of young minds (and not-so-young ones) to the dark arts, but really, magic in that place is more like a background. It's more about friendship and growing up and choosing between the good and the bad. It had been quite a journey, following the ups and downs in the Potterverse, but I'm thankful for being part of the ride.
Now, if only they could lower the pricing...

So much for eing out of hiatus; ack, I don't know what to write anymore! I haven't written here in my blogspot account in a year, but transferred here instead. Sigh. It seems like nothing exciting comes to my life.
I'm shifting yet again to another course, though. This time, I won't move again. Tarlac is the weirdest place to have an epiphany, especially somethng as life-changing as this. I don't know if people would say that the course is "me" all along or if this is a totally unprecedent move. Well, I never told anyone that I want to pursue the new course, but there are things that you don't notice but when someone says it out loud, it makes total sense, you know?
Or maybe I'm rambling on and on again, as always.
I'm not disclosing my course yet, though. It might jinx it, haha! For some reason, I'm not worried about it. Is it because I can still be cushioned by my curret course if all doesn't go well? Or am I (finally) confident that I can go in? I'm scared of the future, though. It's a very volatile course. Like a friend said, one day I might wake up and realize that I've made a huge mistake.
Therefore do not be axious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. -Matthew 6:34
The future seems so far away.

hiatus: a break in something where there should be continuity
woah, almost a year. If this isn't a blog rot, i don't know what is ^_^. probably the meager few who used to go here have stopped long ago. sigh. first year college had been a rough experience for me. I met a lot of great people though, but the emotional baggage (not from them) was horrendous. i still think about those things sometimes.
anyway, a year can make a LOT of difference; i'm on a new school, with new friends and new problems. hay. i resolved last year's biggest inner conflict by hacking it off. kinda like
cutting your arm--which really, really hurts--off, the pain is gone, but you now have a set of new problems without said arm.
random stuff from the top of my head: transferred to diliman. owned a laptop. joined an org. lived at the New House. sold Zabarte House. bought new one. became church-y. became emo (but am trying to lose it again). lost lots of pounds. gained new ones. had new nephews and neices. finally ate Churros. got addicted to holga. reduced being a glutton. acquired braces. had haircuts. had hair cellophaned (did.not.work.). am trying to be a workaholic.
am goint to try a new hobby (photography). had a livejournal account. had new phone. visited HS alma mater. became a worse insomniac.
i promised myself that i'd restore this site again, one day, when my weird, angsty self goes away. i can't believe it took a year, but i guess this is better than never at all, ne? now i think i can even describe myself as happy; i avoided that adjective like the plague for a long, long time. Happy. it has a nice ring to it. i'm going to be one frequently.
I have to go now, though; Real Life awaits.

well, it's been more than two months since i've written here. *sigh* a couple of catastrophes have happened sinced that crappy February monday. i failed physics, almost failed math14 (whew!), my PC crashed yet again minutes before i finished my comm.II term paper (causing me two rewrite the WHOLE thing), and a lot of other things. well the "a lot of things" all led to me being stuck here in pampanga, and it's safe to say that i am *not* happy with these developments. well, at least my dad didn't disown me or anything, and i even managed to go to my friend egi's swimming party and go malling with my other friend ashley a few times before my exile. seems to me that i'd have to stay here for the whole summer, with the way things are going.
well, this is it. i'm on hiatus. i've been on hiatus for a long time, but i want to make it official. i'll come back one of these days though, once i finish this mess and when i officially get my summer break. i hope all goes well...

*it's really feb 13,2006.12:40 pm*
note: to top it all off, my grammar sucks.
have you ever woken up feeling that a great day is up ahead and nothing can get you down?
well, today, i have woken up in that fashion. so what if i almost became deaf because of my annoying, tinny alarm clock? or that it's bitterly cold, and my breakfast is that yucky bran cereal with ice-cold milk?
IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!!
not.
well thankfully, i wasn't late, but something worse happened.
our professor finished checking our test papers.
i failed. not just failed, but REALLY bombed. good thing there's a bonus-point exercise. unfortunately, i got the 2nd problem, the one that i don't even know how to answer.
then we were dismissed. we went to the Lomi House to pass time. when we came back to school, i saw mygroupmate's text message: she already went home because she can't find me. i had to do the diagram thing by myself; i don't even know what it looked like.
THEN i remembered that jacob told me that he won't go to school today. he has my photocopy thing. never mind; i just copied the whole thing off Luzsil's copy.
Tereso and I went to the Main Gate to find a photocopy machine; the one in school's broken. we walked for about half an hour, but every place we go to have broken photocopy machines or over-priced. we finally settled for the one with P2.00 per page because we were so tired of walking. we went back to the main gate where the others are waiting for us. Marvine made the schematic diagram for me (thanks! and THAT's what the diagram thing's called).
and so i'm here. crappy day. exams tomorrow. saw something and i just crumbled. hmph! isn't it horrible when you feel like grinning and bearing everything, that's when the worst come to you? this isn't so bad, i guess. i.just.feel.reaaaaaally.crappy.
