| Totally Random Things |
[Jun. 30th, 2005|09:47 pm] |
I have said before that I feel like I'm in dire need of becoming famous. It's my dream to be known, to be heard and to be able to say something significant.
What makes someone famous then?
1. money
2. scandals?
3. being linked (romantically or otherwise) to someone
4. drugs??!! gambling or other illegal activity.
5. contributing something of important value to the society (i.e. iPod, lipgloss, penicillin)
Ewan... I just woke up from a very relaxing nap, and this is what happens to a relaxed brain. It begins to generate random useless thoughts.
well..let me just share this useless survey...

it's in the rarest of moments when you can actually taste the sweetness of sleep,when you can hear every breath that escapes from lips, when you can feel every pulse. a snap from a long slumber has once again envigorated my veins and something tells me that i can take that one step forward. it's seeing for the first time. it's a thousand emotions encapsulated in a single beat.
i feel so alive.
nothing feels like this- the constant drumming in my veins sound so clear. i am a seed finally pushing out of the bowels of the earth, ready to grow into something wonderful.
nothing feels like this.
haaay..ang sarap talaga matulog! |

please don't hate me...
i just don't like HALE. i mean, i don't get their music. it's so...uhm, palasak na kadaramahan.
actually, i don't hate hale. i just don't get *it*.
you wanna know which band i hate??
simple plan!!! nyahahahahaha...
(don't throw your beer bottles yet!)
and i don't get their *untitled* song too.. my cousin says it's "emo-ish na ewan".. ees and i love bashing that song because it's just so silly... but i heard on tv that they(simple plan) speak french.
who knows? i might fall for a simple plan song... just make sure it's in french! |

| |  disappointed | ] |
three things:
sorry ha... i might be "overreacting" again, but i really felt hurt...
i never knew that something as simple as sitting with your 4th year classmates in the canteen equals choosing them over your friends and "family"...
ganun ba yun?
i don't believe that "perpetual proximity" means sincere friendship.. kahit naman hindi laging magkasama, true friendship exceeds the borders of time and distance..
i don't think that this is a question of loyalty...
i think you know how "patriotic" i am about my section..about the people i really care for...
bakit may ganitong issue?
can't i be happy or comfortable with a new set of friends? can't we all try to break away from our protective spheres and meet new challenges and people?
i am still here... you can't make me choose between coper and ptolemy because you know how much i value you guys...
mahal ko pa rin ang ptolemy.. lahat... ang ingay, corny jokes, kantahan, sugal, dramahan.. lahat yun tinanggap ko na part ng high school life ko..
(ang drama kasi..)
sana matanggap nyo rin ako (ngayon pang last year na)
kaya sorry na lang kung "overreacting to some matters" ako...sorry kung "hindi na ako mareach" kahit na kayo naman minsan ang lumalayo...sorry kung "lumalandi ako at worse pa sa h-girls" hindi ko naman kasi alam na offensive na pala ang pagpo-powder...
sorry ha..
sana kasi hindi lang yun yung nakita nyo...
love ko pa rin tosh.. |

Binasa ko pala yung blog niya kanina...from the very first post.. ang dami ko nang muntik makalimutan... pati yung "the plan"! na si carlo lang naman ang nakagawa...
bakit ko nga ba namimiss yung "old carlo"??? kc parang mas masaya siya noon... makulit pa rin naman siya pero parang laging bothered...
actually, kaya kita naalala bigla ay dahil kay "it"...
ang ganda diba! what a way to remind me of the past years!!! :) mga super late night mcdo sessions... mga kabaliwan sa journ... mga pausong terms at kung anu-anong eklavu...
haaay... naalala ko na naman ung mga evil things na ginawa ko...
hehehe... pasensya na....
nonsensical na naman ako...
hmmm..bakit nga ba??!!!
kc from the very first year ay magkasama na kami sa evil-dom... mejo nag lie-low.. pero nagsisimula na naman ang kademonyohan...
aaaaahhh...
i'm sleepy...
eto ang mga bagay na si carlo lang ang nakaaalam...
tickler, tiklot, ticklash... spaghettification.... maling...american loaf... :)

I really tried to think rationally for the past few days about the course I want.
After thinking rationally and a couple of near-death moments... I got it...
Diliman: BA Communication Research (whatever that is...basta may communication)
BS Clothing Technology (haay...my childhood dream..)
Manila: BS Speech Pathology (para at least once in my life gusto kong tawaging "Doctor")
BA Organizational Communication (again, the magic word..)
I have to pass!!!!!!!!
That's the only thing on my mind now..
For the mean time.. I'll have to pass Anal. Geom |

Ooh, hello! I'm Jobel Marie V. Tombado. I'm 15 years old. You can call me James, um.. I'm not good in Math. I expect that this year will be a fruitful one for all of us.
One week!!!!!!
Life in Copernicus so far, is peaceful. Too peaceful, I must say. Hello! Can you imagine?? Walang sugal! Walang baraha! Walang non-stop music! Walang habulan! Walang public announcement ng horoscope!!!! Walang kandungan, harutan at corny jokes!
So far.
Bonjour Coper! But definitely not A revoir, Tosh!
(Obviously, feel ko na ang French, pero loyal pa rin ako sa Nihonggo!)
It's nice to start the LAST YEAR with a clean slate. Bait-baitan muna. It's killing me though, na MALI ANG PAGGAMIT *NILA* SA SALITANG GC!!!!
Ang GC para sa ating mga Tosh ay Enrico Ceguerra o kaya'y ang paggawa ng lahat ng hakbang matamo lamang ang mga matataas na marka.
But in Coper, when you recite- You're GC!
Come on! Oh well, hindi nga naman nila nakita kung pano ang lifestyle natin dati.
So far so good. May konting unusual characters na itago na lang natin sa pangalang MD, CJ at LJ.
The others are really fun to be with at surprisingly GC!!!!
let's see...
Diego "Kampanerong Kuba" Lucero - adik sa mga fantaserye at GC!!!! hehehe
Ezequiel "Kamao" Dacanay- quote: "ayoko sa mga mayabang na tao, baka di ko mapigilan ang aking kamao."
Edwin "Let the Love Begin" Sagmit - hahaha.. pre-destined love team ni Karla. ala-jomar na bigla na lang kumakanta, pero mataas ang pitch!
Marc "Lafor" Laforteza - actually, "Manny" na ata cia ngaun.. Makabayan!
Carlo "Vice" Briones- hmmm.. Mabango!
Bakit puro lalaki yan??
aba ewan ko! |

Wow... I'm still in a daze... Finally, i'm home and away from the greasy and exotic smells of Hong Kong and China.
It was fun and all. Even though I am terrified of flying, I still enjoyed the whole trip. (Whenever I ride a plane, I am always frozen for the first 10 minutes of the flight until I am sure that there are no scary engine noise.) So, how were those places different from Manila? Well, for one the people are disciplined- especially in following traffic rules and scooping up dog poop. But of course, things like warmth to visitors and the English Language seems totally alien to them.
I wasn't aware that they speak Cantonese in Hong Kong, and I (having only a handful of now-rusty mandarin and no Cantonese) felt so helpless all the time. It even took us several minutes of playing charades with the waitress in a restaurant before she (and the manager) figured out that we wanted tea.
I liked the long walks that we had, it was tiring but it's something that I can never do here since Hong Kong is just a small place. It's so funny that the people there always make feel either like a walking rag or totally undressed. They have a very cool and carefree attitude when it comes to fashion. It's what I called the "Gulo factor". They (Hong Kong people or Hong Kians???!!! hehe) are very fashion forward. I was like a little girl set loose in a candy store when we visited the boutiques - Shnghai Tang, Fendi, Burberry.. heaven!!!!
And they are just sooo cool! They're all either talking on their mobile phones or listening to their mp3 players or doing both!!! (Shet, walang snatchers???!!!)
Hmmm... during our stay, I managed to improve my chopstick skills a lot, learned a bit of cantonese and became an expert haggler!!!! In China, it's so fun to haggle! The vendors there are, say, friendlier. I got a pair of shoes originally priced at $230 for just $100!!!! My uncle and I developed the "exaggerate and walk away" technique. What you do is, bargain for half the price, if the vendor says no, pretend to walk away,then they'll chase you and say "okay, lah!"
Try to do that in Hong Kong and they'll think you're fooling around and say "No Diskawah!!"
The disappointing part about travelling in Hong Kong is that, the food's really expensive!!! I really improved my math skills, but I guess the number 1 rule when travelling is "DO NOT CONVERT!!!" It sucks to know that a bottle of water costs a little over 90 pesos!! That's crazy.
The funny thing about some vendors is that when they recognize Pinay looking people, they know how to make uto. "Miss Maganda! Miss Maganda, mulah lang!!!"
Weirdest food I ate: Huge chunks of tofu drizzled with an extremely salty sauce
Weirdest thing I discovered: Public toilets don't have the "tangible" toilets with seats!they are "embedded" on the floor!
Wow! : They sell fresh cherries!!!
Hehe: I heard an F4 song while shopping in the night market! Gave me the creeps!
Scariest moment: Our personal driver is a lunatic!!!! He drives so fast, I think we almost slammed into another car. My uncle said it was only the driver's tactic for us to wear our seat belts! Still, it was a benz and it was supposed to be ritzy, but it's almost a near death experience!!!
I loved the airport, and the hotel, but it sucks to find out that our money's just worth 0.12 HK$...
On the other hand, we speak better English. |

| Going to Rehab |

| | Hot stuff.. hehehe | ] |
(okay, i found my passport!! hooray!!)
Senior-dom is fast approaching. Before school starts, I just want to prep myself to become a responsible person. I'm going to (my own) rehab.
So, I'll try to stay away for a week from:
1. Coke- I mean, Coke. Coca-cola. I am really addicted to carbonated drinks and it's doing me no good. So before my blood sugar level hits the roof, I'm gonna stop myself. It's not so easy to do it in this house. As of last count, we have 21 cans of Coke, 4 cans of Pepsi, 12 cans of Coke light, 5 cans of 7up and 19 bottles of beer. I also checked and found out we don't have butter!! I'm not kidding.
2. TV- There's just too much trash in Tv- Simple Life, Growing Up Gotti, if you have Jack TV then you definitely know TV trash with shows such as Stripperella and The Man Show. Obviously not educational, but still I watch those shows often. It's what you call Irritainment. I remember, in grade school I never really watched TV except on Saturdays. I usually get home at 3 pm but I never watched anything except for the news sometimes.
My classmates would talk about all the shows they saw and usually i have nothing to say. I tell them, my parents don't allow me to watch TV on weekdays, but it was actually a self-imposed rule. I really was mosre sensible when I was younger. I wonder what happened.
3. The Internet- the mother of all junk. I'm so tired of going to Barbie.com or Bored.com. I'm sick of the Pop-ups with flashing titles like "Free Nekkid Gurlllzzz!!!" or "See Josie Play Dirty!!!!!". Ugh. I'll miss this blog- the symbol of my "existence" online, the constant reminder that I am just an infinitesimal blogger amidst all the Porn Webamsters.
4. My Cellphone- I have so much junk in my phone. I have more than a thousand pictures of (mostly) myself in my gallery, and i usually have around 200 messages in my inbox. I don't bother deleting even just the "Haha" or the usual "Musta n u?" last night I deleted someone's number again. Deleted around 100 messages and deleted all my usher ringtones.
I have to set my life straight.
Can I do it???? |

I'm hating someone again. Okay, so hate is a strong word, but this person just pisses me off. The best thing that I learned this week is that it's okay to insult people who deserve "it"- especially those who are always "nagmamaganda". (Take note, that's the actual word our teacher used)
I know that I can also be painfully nagmamaganda, but I can stick to it. I can be consistent and most of all I can be myself.
So, a friend has always been ranting about how much he hates posers. I tell him everyone's a poser from time to time. But it's just today that I realized that someone is an honest-to-goodness POSER.
My favorite line in Desiderata is this, "BE YOURSELF,ESPECIALLY DO NOT FEIGN AFFECTION."
I'm sure everyone has their own genius inside of them just waiting to be dared, to be discovered. At this age, we always say that we are still trying to find ourselves, still trying to find our identities.
Try to make one. Try to carve your own place in the universe. Don't be just some wannabe. Trust me,I'm not the only one venting.
Isn't it annoying that we usually don't name names. I hate that, but I'm trying to be a little less mean.
XOXO

what is this???!!!
apparently, i start all my mind conversations with that line.
i really wish i did something this summer. i could've been more productive.
right now, i'm just waiting for 9:30. my head is still pretty foggy because as usual, i woke up late. i'm still in my nonsensical mode. i'm just waiting for 9:30 because that's when i usually begin to function.
after this, i'll type my mom's speech. then go to the dentist.
OMG!!!! what is this???!!! I have returned to my old "hello-today-i-ate-spaghetti" blogger self! maybe in a little while, i'll blog with sense again. Oh, and i already moved! i'll give the link later when i'm done with my template.
p.s. for those of you who have been wondering, yes, "K" the H girl and I are friends now. |

| ahhh, English! |
[May. 21st, 2005|08:04 pm] |
Yum!
For the first time in 5 weeks, I was not tempted even once to sketch designs or sleep. I managed to stay awake and pay attention through out the whole class- yes, all 7 non-stop hours of hardcore grammar lessons this time!
Our lecturer today was soo galing! He is definitely a good speaker, he talks smart and he's young-ish that's why he connects well with the students (unlike the bitchy/tiklot chem prof). He reminds me of Oprah, Boy Abunda and Ms. Parcon. (Try to guess what he looks like.)
As of the moment, I am suffering from a very bad stomach ache due the simultaneous digestion of oatmeal and green mangoes. He (Oprah-Boy Abunda-Ms. Parcon) told us that English would be a very good pre-Law course.
When I was 5 years old, I really wanted to be a lawyer. I think I'll have to see legally blonde again to get inspired.
I don't know if I should feel good or not since I found out that all of the courses I wanted to take (except for Speech Pathology) are non-quota courses.
For the 7th time, I asked mutti if it's really okay for me to take up Clothing Technology. We were watching fashion TV then, and she said, "as long as you won't be making that kind of clothes". She was talking about a short,short see-through gown which,it seems,is made of plastic. |

| Cogito Ergo Sum. |
[May. 18th, 2005|11:44 pm] |
I think ,therefore I am...
going to take Clothing Technology.
I still haven't seen a sign.
If I don't see it before June 6, i'll take a different course, save money then study at Parsons.
I really want to be a fashion designer or a fashion director.
Anyone who watches America's Next Top Model (paging Lowell, Jhek, Eskos, Jus and Juice!) knows who Nole Martin is and what he does. That is my dream.
Ahhh.. |

Hello again,loveys!
First of all,that's me... way up in the title. For your inf, (and I do mean inf!!!) how my nickname got pimp'd over the summer has got nothing to do with _ _ _. ;p It's partly the fault of some afro-haired guy who wanted to know my name, i told him "it's james". He wrote down "J-A-Y-M-E".
Hello! That's cute,but also very uforgivable.
Anyway, I am in a very piss-outy mood right now. Those who know me well know that I love talking to myself aloud,especially when I'm maaaaad,but I'm really driving myself crazy now while I'm endlessly rambling in my mind (constantly inserting all the "goddamns" after every goddamn word).
Grrrrrr.... I am just waiting for the right time and situation where I can legally and royally stage a major tantrum.
You might want to know why:
1. The Heat - Given. Like,hello?? Tropical country?? I can't stand it. Taking a bath thrice a day is a must,but taking a bath has also become pointless. I mean, you get sweaty just by toweling your hair dry.
2. B-R-A-T in this corner- we have a new kiddo classmate in our Muay-Thai class. Major brat. (plus, Bimla's absent for a whole week!!! So sad. He always plays all the bad guy roles pa naman)Brat, brat,brat!!! He's around 9,but I don't care!! I hate him!!!! His mom waits for him in the class!!! She even interrupts all the time just to make punas the pawis of her goddamn brat son. I hate her!! I think she cught me mouthing "Bitch!" at the mirror while looking at her. I don't care. I know it's very immature of me, but he did something very wrong to Julie. He said something very offensive to Julie within earshot of his mother and she did not even bother to make her son apologize or what.
3. Still no course!!!! For now,it's UP or nothing in this house because my mother claims she will not pay for Ateneo tuition. For me, it's Clothing Technology or nothing. I'm just waiting for a sign.
4. Running low on dough. I hate it. Must be because of our weekly sushi escapades. So far, all I have managed to save doesn't even come close to 4k. Aagghh!!!! I know,with all these crises we're facing we definitely got to save,but sometimes spending can be therapy too. Just last Tuesday, i was feeling really depressed after going to the gym so I decided to buy a silver ring for me. Now that I'm wearing it, I just wish I'd start thinking more rationally. Well, this ring will always remind me to spend sensibly.
5. HK shopping trip postponed. Waaah! The start of classes will be on June 6. When will I have time to shop for school things??
6. Me. I just wish I'd stop complaining and wasting time. And look at my LJ user pic!!! It's so "Palayasin-ang-hampas-lupang-iyan!". Dammit.
I need:
lots of water
less pounds :|
hugs

i'm into writing again. i've been doing a lot of poetry lately and it amazes me how one can be lost in words. today, i started writing- streams of consciousness.. i really was lost, then i realized it's now 9 pm.
what will happen to me now?
and what will become of my hunger for words? |

[May. 13th, 2005|08:49 pm] |
what is this??!!
as of the moment, i have 3 blogs.
no,make that 5.
actually,6.
only 3 are actually active, and that's because i have never been really satisfied with LJ. It's hard to firgure out sometimes. plus, mutti wont let me use her credit card (she also backed out on my extension!!), hence the lousy rtw template and no other features.
i'm moving someday.
actually, i think i just did.
i'm not actually dreaming of building a blog empire.
i am sooooooooo far from that "goal".
i just want to finally put some sense in my blogging.
or a purpose,too.
dammit! |
|
|
| hmmm |
[May. 11th, 2005|09:04 pm] |
Mutti updated her blog.
Again, it's notoriousmutti.blogspot.com
support this neophyte blogger/crazy mother.
she definitely needs something else to do- apart from being a mom. |
