Paradise Philippines

wala nanamang classes..

isipin niyo, thursday last week la pasok, fridays wala kaming pasok, saturday lang ako pumasok ulit, tapos monday hanggang ngayon walang pasok.

para akong out-of-school youth.

not, that i'm complaining, at least we yet again avoided the much dreaded recitation of Professor Trillana, and i get to spend more time with my bebe.

i just feel so sorry for those people whose homes were destroyed and whose families were buried alive or drowned in the rushing flood.

i've been meaning to write an entry about this for so long, and now is the perfect opportunity.

it's our own fault. i hate to sound like a bitch, but it is. we have been abusing nature for so long, and now we are reaping our reward.

if we are truly smarter than any other creature on this planet, then why do we insist on acting like animals? worse than animals, i should say. i've watched on national geographic that animals would not kill all of their prey at once because they knew it would lead to starvation.

people could be so cruel.

watching Charmed last monday (which was about Lady Godiva and what would've happened if she hadn't finished her legendary ride) made me think how much women are oppressed, abused, and violated then and even until now.

double standards. rape. harrassment. discrimination. i don't know about you, but i for one am tired of it. women are judged and condemned simply because of what we are. it's a reality we have to face.

if a girl has more than one boyfriend she is labeled a slut. if a boy has 5 girlfrinds, his friends would admire him for it, a if women are trophies they could just parade for all the world to see.

what's so hard to understand with the concept of "equal rights"?

boggles the mind.

St. Jude paray for us and all those who invoke thy aid.

pray this 9 times a day for nine days. your wish will be granted on th eight day. don't forget to publish thid once your wish has been granted.

sobrang dami ng gamit namin, hindi magkasya sa bago naming bahay. mas malaki kasi yung bahay namin dati, kaya, grabe, siksik talga ngayon sa bahay namin. last week, nung naglilinis kami ng mga kalat kalat na gamit sa bahay, sabi ko sa mommy ko:


ako: mommy ang dami na nating figurine (mga 300 na ata), pwede ba wag ka ng bibili uli.

mommy: hindi na ko bibili, bakit pa ko bibili?

ako: dati araw araw ka may dalang plastik na puro bagong figurine.

mommy: eh dati yun.


tapos nung isang araw, pag uwi niya, may dala siyang plastik galing sa Landmark. sabi ko:

ako: mommy ano to?

mommy: akin yan

ako: ano nga to?

mommy: akin nga yan

ako: eh ano nga to? *bukas ng plastik*

ako: ano to? mga manika? hay naku diba sabi ko wag ka ng bibili ng figurine

mommy: *grins* diko mapigilan eh.


although i am used to it, my mother's extravagance is something i will never understand. while she spends bucks on make-up, accessories, bags, clothes, shoes, and other trifles i am so painfully practical that i own only three pairs of shoes: a pair of sandals, rubber shoes, and my school shoes. i go to malls, money safely tucked in my pocket, with the intention of buying myself a nice blouse, or perhaps a pair of shoes, most of the time i end up spending my money on a book or on a present instead.

jeesh, i wonder if it's my mom, or maybe i just have to get a life. whatever.

eto ang bagong peborit kong kanta.

You'll Be Safe Here
Rivermaya
(Words and Music: Rico Blanco)

Nobody knows
Just why we're here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

Chorus:

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
'Coz when nothing seems clear
You'll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You'll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

Chorus:

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here

Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything's unclear
You'll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world's insincere
You'll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream
I'll scream with you
You'll be safe here

In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You'll be safe here

When no one understands
I'll believe
You'll be safe,
You'll be safe
You'll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You'll be safe here

alam niyo ba, naisip ko, na kung ano ang kinaiinisan mo sa isang tao, yun ang mamimiss mo pag hindi mo na siya kasama.

i miss his hot-headed ways. i miss the candy-flavored words he whispered in my ears, and i miss how they made me feel.

kanina, nung sinisilip ko si Joey bear sa klasrum nila, hinanap ko si meri, kakawayan ko sana para magulat. eh kaso wala. sabi ko pa nga (sa isip) siguro kasama ulit si Koie the wonderboy... tapos nag cr kami ni Hanne. biglang may kumalabit sakin. si meri pala.

ako pa tuloy yung nagulat.

-------------------------------------

akalain mo ba namang nawala yung home page? salamat at nakita ko ang post ni ryza sa post ni meri, kaya eto nakapag break ako sa aking kagimbal gimbal na paggawa ng thesis.

may gusto sana akong i share. nung naghahanap kasi ko ng info para sa thesis namin, eh napunta ako dito. basahin niyo, kahit may pagka mahaba.

imbes na mainis ako jan, natawa nalang ako. pero next time nalang kukwento. gagawa muna ko ng thesis.

-------------------------------------

so i think i'll just lurk around..
