My summer escapades
1. I had this really cool summer job at L’Oreal. I earned a lot of money and I mean for starters it was kinda big. I met a lot of money devouring people. I even gave away 1000 worth of bikinis to someone I didn’t know. I learned a lot about fashion, trends, how to stay beautiful and the like. I ate in a lot of good resto’s.
2. I saw the advance screening of STAR WARS EPISODE 2. I saw SPIDERMAN on its opening night.
3. I tried to make friends with my ex --- it was a bad idea cause it turned out he’s still not over me. Oh brother!
4. I learned a lot about the Chinese culture, thanks to CAROL and KIM. I can understand basic Chinese. Hahaha to think that I had a thing about their race being tooo melodramatic --- they’re cool after all once you get to know them. But that doesn’t mean they’re not WEIRD, they are a weird race no offense
5. I did a mini makeover of myself both external and internal. I have to look beautiful all the time. Not just for the attention but more for myself.
6. I met a lot of interesting people, in all aspects of life. Those who can’t live without shopping, those who has nothing to do on a Saturday night, those who basically has no life other than the computer, those who party all night, those who can’t live without sex, those who made me feel better about myself, those who taught me to stop look and listen, those who made me happy, and basically made my life a lot different.
7. And there’s this guy who I thought would solve all the problems in the world, or so that’s what I thought. I thought it was so cool coz we’re basically on the same wave length which makes this guy sooo intriguing or soooo interesting. To think I just talked to him a couple of times, and there’s this weird feeling that I get that I can’t explain. It’s a mixture of fear, horror, excitement, and confusion. I guess I just have to stop thinking for sometime.

Stay inside the lines
It always comes around, back to you
I had another hellish day yesterday. I went to school to adjust my not so good schedule. My so-called friends met me there along with the very long line of students craming their way hoping and wishing for subject openings. At first it felt so good, I was back at school again. My friends were there:
  • Niz, game me pasalubong from her trip to the US (thanks i loved the pink sandals)
    - as usual niz moody boyfriend was there
    - Carol, my all time bud
    - Kring
    - Nix, my cute friend who managed to keep her cool when a bunch of model wannabe chicks overtook us in the line --- talk about sex power
    - Jonas nix's current boyfriend
    - and a couple of cute guys i've been crushing (you know who you are)

    so enough of the flowery introduction and back to my hellish story... so I arrived there at around 9:00 am. Hoping and Wishing it would all be over soon. I guess i was jinxed cause at around 11:00am we were still standing at the same spot. So Car and I went to Carl's Jr. to eat. When we got to Carls we had no idea what to order, so we just ended up trying their new Breakfast meals. Which totally sucks and wasted our 60 bucks. So after 30 mins of chit chat, we went back to our line. Hoping and Wishing we'd be a little closer to the door. Unfortunately after 30 mins they called for LUNCH BREAK! The nerve of our school. Talk about the system there were like almost a thousand students waiting in line, sweating, tired, hungry, ill-tempered and very upset --- and all they could annouce is an hour of LUNCH BREAK. The hell. We couldn't do anything about it. So instead of moping in the heat. We head out to this new cafe lounge place Ace kept on raving about called DANES. It was a nice small airconditioned, coffee smelling, with cable tv, sofa on the side type of cafe. Not to mention they have smoothies (one of my addictions this summer). But don't try the strawberry frusia it sucks --- its too sweet and it will make you puke. We kinda stayed there for an hour to chill and drink smoothies. When we got back the line was still the same. And we cant do anything about it. And finally at the stroke of 2:30 we finally got in. The worse is yet to come. When it was my turn at the table, I was finally feeling relief. But then the lady told me I can no longer adjust my schedule because all the classes were full. I was so dumbstruck speechless. I cant do anything about it. I shouldn't have changed my schedule in the first place now I cant get it back to were it should be. The Hell --- I kindda waited in line for like aday. I basically wasted a day. I basically about to waste my entire last 3 months in school. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    You've got to see it to believe it

    Ha I found it at last. The song that's been haunting me for days. It's finally in my hands. Now I can sleep, I can eat, I can fly, and I can die cause I am Invincible!

    John Mayer
    NO SUCH THING

    "Welcome to the real world", she said to me
    Condescendingly
    Take a seat
    Take your life
    Plot it out in black and white
    Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
    And the drama queens
    I'd like to think the best of me
    Is still hiding
    Up my sleeve


    They love to tell you
    Stay inside the lines
    But something's better
    On the other side


    I wanna run through the halls of my high school
    I wanna scream at the
    Top of my lungs
    I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
    Just a lie you've got to rise above


    So the good boys and girls take the so called right track
    Faded white hats
    Grabbing credits
    Maybe transfers
    They read all the books but they can't find the answers
    And all of our parents
    They're getting older
    I wonder if they've wished for anything better
    While in their memories
    Tiny tragedies


    They love to tell you
    Stay inside the lines
    But something's better
    On the other side


    I wanna run through the halls of my high school
    I wanna scream at the
    Top of my lungs
    I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
    Just a lie you got to rise above


    I am invincible
    As long as I'm alive


    I wanna run through the halls of my high school
    I wanna scream at the
    Top of my lungs
    I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
    Just a lie you've got to rise above


    I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
    I'm gonna bust down the double doors
    And when I stand on these tables before you
    You will know what all this time was for

    You've got the best of my love
    Yesterday I accompanied my 4 year old nephew and 7 year old niece to watch Spider-man That was the second time I saw it. And to tell you the truth you've got to see it the second time to really enjoy it. I mean I was disappointed the first time I saw it. Imagine at 10am tickets were starting to get sold out. My friends and I just got 6 tickets of the 6:10pm showing == and its worth 130 bucks. Imagine that! Well the seats were good and we were one of the few who got to see it before US started to show it. But is this movie worth all that hassle? Worth all the fuss? Well I guess so --- even though the storyline reaked, the dialogue stinked, the characters mushed --- Tobey Maguire ruled them all with the record breaking high of $114 million on the first day

    The long trip to heaven
    In few hours I'll be heading out to school --- I will go there to stand in line in the most petrifying place (the Accounting lobby) to pay my not so worth it TUITION FEE. For four years I've been doing the same ritual every term --- every year has 3 terms so that means I'll be standing in line for my tenth time. I bet I'm gonna miss this hell of a ritual when I leave school. Which by the way only 3 months from now.

    SUPER NICE WEEK
    I get a 3 day vacation. Some old guy hits on me. Some weirdo tried to rob the bus I was riding. I had the best pizza ever --- tons of cheese. I have a new phone --- 6310i. My crush likes me!
    May 2, 2002 post --- see i was so caught up with life
    Money can buy anything. But money cant buy who I am or who I want to be. Last Wednesday, I tried my luck at BINGO. I spent the 70 bucks I had in my pocket that day. Confident to take home at least 500. After getting my cards I took a seat near a 14 inch TV --- which shows the numbers to be drawn. Then it hit me --- I didn’t bring any markers or any pen --- how the hell am I gonna cross out the numbers. Good thing there was a kind hearted security guard who kindda lent me some cool markers --- for free. After a fight on deciding whether to sit upfront or way back --- I realized I have the slightest clue on what to do. Gash I can’t believe I can’t play BINGO on my own. So there was this not so kindda old lady sitting alone, who kindda looked nice, and who kindda knew what to do caught my eye. I took a seat in front of her – wishing and hoping she’ll be kind enough to help me out. There are still good Samaritans roaming around. She was very helpful in the sense at times she had her eyes on my cards instead of hers --- this is in a good way. She was helping me mark out the ones I missed or overlooked. I had this tiny feeling she was hoping for some share, in case I get the JACKPOT of 200000 bucks. Which I think was so mean of me --- and probably the reason why I didn’t get any luck. Or I really was not meant to win it --- still I just had no 6 left on my card. How lucky can one person be? Why didn’t the number 6 ball didn’t come up. Is it fate? Or I was fooled that money can buy a little sense out of me. I can’t live like this --- like the BINGO people. Wishing and hoping for some luck – doing the same thing over and over again.
