Once Upon a Dream (forgive me, OA ni na post)

My cousin just got married (May 26, 2007)

It feels funny to see someone you've known since you were little take such a big step in life. I like weddings, but seeing someone I know really well getting married makes my tummy feel kinda funny. @_@
It's also funny... Just when I started contemplating how "grown-up" and "mature" my cousin has become, I hear him discussing Naruto with his brothers!

Hahaha! La na hia... nabungkag akong imagination!hehehe :D

Haha! Anyways, I'm happy they asked me to sing for them. I've never before sung in Church while the bride was walking down the aisle. It made me feel like I was part of the entourage, even if I was just at the church's corner beside the organ. :D



It was also nice seeing Ahia David and Shiela at the altar...

Which brings me to my question. . .

"Will I ever find the person I was destined to stand next to in the altar?"

And if I do, how do I know it's him??
See..libog man! :(

It's like everyday another one of my friends falls in love,
. . . and ends up getting hurt the next day! :(

Hahahaha, I was thinking about this so deeply after the wedding maybe because of the height of the excitement, the talks that were going around at the table. . . or maybe because I had the misfortune of being the single female guest of the bride unlucky enough to lose the bouquet-catching game.
To my credit, the emcee changed the rules!!!!! Unfair!! Second to the last man ko to catch, si Kim man unta kay sya last, shouldn't have been me. :(
Hmph! My brother could not stop laughing. @_@

I remember I once asked my mom how I CAN know, and she said I had to pray, family background, know him well, etc etc etc.
And she also said... "You'll just know"

. . .

. . .

. . .

Will I really?



I know you I walked with you once upon a dream.

I know you The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam.

Yes, I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem.

But if I know you, I know what you'll do,

You'll love me at once the way you did

Advance Happy Bday Karina! :)

Hehehe.. So Chris, Kimby and I were finally able to organize Karina's bday surprise.
And it almost didn't happen...


Go back the night of May 23, 2007 when Karina said she was going to go somewhere the following day. What were we going to do with the balloons and cake?? :(

After several "palpak" excuses, we finally had to tell her that we were planning to go to her house the next day. Karina sad uy!!hehehe.


May 24, 2007 at approx. 10:40 am




Happy Bday Karina,
Happy Birthday Karina...
Happy Birthday, happy Birthday..........................
Happy Bday Karina!!!

Yeyyyy...

And who knew Jollibee was this much fun? ;-)

We took over the kids' pen even if we kept bumping our heads on the tubes.
It was fun even if Karina was too big and I was too old for the play pen. :D

Si Ahia wa ni apil kay di na nya kagawas.HAHAH. kidding!ü

With A Smile

Bummer! I didn't make it to the Dean's List. :(
All because my Probstat grade was 2.6, give me a break, that's just 0.1 lower than 2.5!
But no, to qualify for the Dean's List you must not have a grade lower than 2.5. But come on, even with my 2.6, my average was still big... The dean said I should have been in 4th place (sa course ra ha..d sad the whole college.hehehe) .
:(

Isn't it really annoying how you work so hard for something only to find out in the end that only a teeny thing was holding you back from getting it? That makes me so........... Sad. ='c




Anyway, there I was feeling gloomy on the jeepney ride home. I was feeling pretty discouraged and down and depressed (Yes, low grades depress me, so what?! =p hehe ) .
Now I'm REALLY wishing my transfer application gets accepted. That's how sad I was!

While I was so busy feeling sorry for myself, in walks this old lady and she sits beside me in the jeepney. She was round and jovial and as soon as she sat down, she started fidgeting in her seat as she tried to fish coins out of her very big hadbag. As the jeepney was so crammed, all her fidgeting was not doing everyone good. The passengers started giving her angry stares which made her attempt at fishing out coins all the more difficult for her. She was already turning so red that you could not help but feel sorry for her as several insensitive people in the vehicle continued still to stare down at her.

After she got her 6 pesos out, she looked up and caught my eye. I didn't really know what to do... I'm not good at stuff like this. But I felt I needed to tell her that it was alright.
So, I gave her an "it's ok" smile.

She blinked at me and in a split second, her face was no longer red as she smiled back at me with a grin that was so wide I finally understood the 'smiling from ear to ear' phrase. She had a few missing teeth, but that smile was the most beautiful one I hed ever seen.

After that, we sat in companionable silence throughout the ride. But just with that one smile, I forgot my lousy 2.6 and I felt really, really, REALLY good.

I guess angels really do come in disguises.

Mine was a plump old woman with an oversized handbag with missing teeth and a beautiful smile. :)

I am officially a Claymate!

I have fallen in LOVE with Clay Aiken's voice! :) I just recently started watching American Idol during the idol days of Taylor Hicks and Katharine Mcphee. I knew a Clay Aiken existed, I just wasn't able to follow his career. Well during that season's finals night, Clay happened to come onstage to surprise an impersonator of his. At that time, I wondered why the guy(Michael Sandecky) won for 'best impersonation', he looked NOTHING like the Clay Aiken that came out of the big sliding doors onstage. Despite that, Clay Aiken won my vote, I LIKED his voice immediately! :)

Because I had nothing to do one day this summer of 2007, I decided to log on to youtube and watch reruns of American Idol episodes I didn't get to watch. I chanced upon Clay Aiken again, and I was shocked! He wasn't Clay Aiken! The Clay Aiken I saw had brown hair, and.. and..and he was not THAT scrawny... I looked up his AI Audition, and lo and behold! Clay Aiken was...weelll...he's definitely changed!haha :D



After that, I spent day after day downloading Clay video after Clay video. I especially liked his version of 'Solitaire' and 'Open Arms;. I not only fell in love with his big voice, I fell in love with what every other Claymate will tell you is one of Clay's most prized talent! I love his banters! He is great even when he is just talking!

So for the rest of the world who have not yet been able to experience the prodigy that is Clay Aiken, I suggest you start downloading. ;-)

Halalan 2007

Naka vote nako!!hehehe..
and I still have traces of indelible ink on my finger to prove it! :D
I get excited over little things, and my first election is just one of those times when my excitement gets cranked up. ;-)


My senatorial bets were:

1. Escudero
2. Arroyo
3. Pangilinan
4. Lacson
5. Villar
6. Angara
7. Cayetano (Alan) haha
8. Recto
9. Roco
10. Aquino
11. X
12. X


*My arrangement of names do not necessarily pertain to ranking...
Weeelll, except in the case of Escudero who my sister and I both adore. :D

I wanted to fill up all 12 slots, (this was my first election after all!hehe) but my dad said I didn't have to fill everything up and that I just had to stick to the candidates I felt were really worth voting for.

May 14 - On the election day itself, I was probably the most enthusiastic voter in the precinct! I already had a mayor, a vice mayor, and a party list in mind. But I didn't really know any of the councilors who were running, so I asked my parents who they were gonna vote for. My dad murmured something about voting for "Archival" and another name that I didn't quite catch, but it was something resembling "Corella".
So when my time to vote came, I wrote for councilors:

1. Archival

... I searched the sample ballots, and there was a "Labella"... it kinda sounded like "Corella", so I voted for him too.

2. Labella

... only to find out that the name my dad really mentioned was Carillo.hehehe. Well I have to admit, Carillo does sound closer to Corella than Labella ever will.hehe. :D

I wrote all my candidates' names clearly and legibly and with their complete names!, making doubly sure I wrote Alan Peter Cayetano's whole name. HAHAHA
Then came the most awaited moment of every first voter. . .

. . .

. . .

. . . the applying of the indelible ink.hehehe :D






wa lang, wa ko lingaw.hehehehe
human gi kasab-an ko ni Karen kay d lagi daw e vote si Roco.hehehe. :D
Legarda raman ako nadawat na txt kar!! :D

I've learned quite a lot on the second semester of my second year of College. This sem, I already had IE major subjects..namely my IE 220, IE 221 and my IE 222. But they're not all I learned this sem.. So here's part II of my "Things I learned in College" saga. :DThis second semester of second year, I learned:

1. That the best differential equation is an EXACT differential equation, because it allows us to use LIM's method.*Thank you Mam Cabanilla*

2. That if ever you were able to solve problems on your very thick Physics book, NEVER throw that paper away! You get points for that in boardwork!Waaahh

3. That you have to always check if there's a note posted outside Room167 because it will drive you crazy to wait 3 long hours doing nothing, and you find out at 6:30pm that Miss will not be holding classes after all @_@

4. That this is my last sem of ReEd! Yes! :)

5. That this is my last sem of PE! Yes! :)

"To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. . . " :D

9. That Red Ribbon can serve the same purpose as the library.. ;-)

20. That if you don't have answers in your departmental exams, you just have to act really bored with the exam. This triggers the proctor to say "Those who are done, you may pass your blue books". Then everyone stands shaking their heads and you'll realize. . . You're not alone. Di sad sila khbw sa test! :D
