January 2nd, 2004

I missed writing on my tabulas for a few days… I have been preoccupied more important things… like doing favor for my folks… memorizing my script… helping out in the chores… but having to miss writing in my tabulas made me crave for tabulas… I honestly do not know what tabulas has but I really like it… really I do… and of course I miss my friends here in tabulas…

I miss to greet everyone a happy new year… I hope you all had a good celebration… and I wish everyone all of the best 2004 can offer… HAPPY NEW YEAR…

Doing things all by myself and for myself

I can’t believe it. I just did a few things I never expected doing… well, I guess, it’s a nice thing for a change… I mean, who would wake up one day and decides that he will shampoo his rug, wash his own blanket, was his shoes and his backpacks… I just did…

Though I admit that it is really tiring to do all of these things… only now that I appreciate those people who have done these things for me for the past 18 years of my existence…

I now can picture how hard life after school is… how stiff the competition is in the real world… after school, I wanna move out of my parent’s place and get myself a job and an apartment… I wanna experience how life is out there… and I wanna do it on my own… learn it the hard way… that may be the only thing I can do to prove myself but I am sure that there is some sort of pride and fulfillment when I have done these simple dreams…

sapphire

Sapphire
! You are most Like A Sapphire !
Dark, mysterious - but unforgettable. You have a
deep
beauty. Delicate, and shy you try to stay away from
the
limelight but often your intelligence puts you in
at the
deep end. You're like a Sapphire, because, your
beauty is priceless.
You're intelligent, full of opinions, and not
big-headed about it all.
Sometimes you need to put yourself out there, as
you can be a bit shy.
Congratulations ... You're the mysterious gem
everybody wants to have and learn more about.

my nephew's birthday

Today is the celebration of my nephew---kyle… he is my favorite since he is the closest to my heart… he is really bright… active.. funny… he seem older for his age… he is only four years old but some say he is about six or seven… he has grown much in the past four years…

I woke up late today since I slept at around 3:45am… I helped in the preparation… I mopped the floor… I picked up the halayang ube in agoo.. dropped by the clinic to give the smear slide…

We had lunch… everybody enjoyed the food…. And kyle enjoyed himself….

The STAR IN A MILLION GRAND FINALS--a new star is on the rise

The maiden search of star in a million has come to an end today…. My original bets –michelle san miguel, christian bautista, and dk tijam—were eliminated… so I have no choice but to pick a favorite among the three remaining finalists—marinel santos, erik santos and sheyn Regis…. I picked two… erik and sheryn…. As star in a million puts it, erik is the star on the rise and sheryn is the power belter… I like sheryn (she is beautiful—the beauty that is really Filipina but she is really height challenged…) because she really is a performer for she can sing high notes and low notes smoothly with the least effort… she can also sing and dance… she can go for slow songs and up beat songs… I also like erik to win because there has been no new balladeer in the network since ariel rivera… we need a fresh talent… and in fairness to him, he can keep up with the performance level of sheryn… he put a good fight for the past few weeks…

But tonight, the winds have changed… sheryn chose the wrong song… the song did not suit her powerful voice… she failed to give it all… she did alright though… erik gave a better performance tonight… he showed what he really is capable of… as my sister said, “ ang galling ng performance niya… ok na pag siya ang nanalo… pamalit kay Christian.” Yes, erik got the title star in a million, a house and lot, a recording contract, a regular show—asap mania… he is to do his debut in hosting tomorrow…

The show itself was great… live… now, that is a one hell of a reality tv show… I can say that we have our very own pop idol version suiting the Filipino taste… I hope this show will do great… and I think this episode got a higher share of viewers… search for a star was left behind… well, that’s what I think…

in preparation..

i will not be able to check on my tabulas in the next few days coz i'm gonna devote my time in both my studies and in my theater group...

i am a bit disappointed in the results of my prelims... i expected much higher but sad to say, they aren't... i promised myself that i will do everything to increase those marks... i wanna stay in my bloved saint louis university... and i wanna stay and graduate here... the retention policy is really tight... and i need to work hard to earn that slot in the top three hundred... and i will!! i believe i will....

my drama family taught me a lot of things in life... i like it there even though other people think that we are "trash"... i don't care... i am here because i like it here... i love this group... we may not be getting any attention right now... even our own college does not support our group... so we have no choice but to work this out in our own... we need to prove ourselves... for we have done it in the past year... we did win it... the dramafest was hardwork... thanks to kuya ty and company...

however, this year is far more stressful... we have to prove that we can stand on our own... with or without help from the outside of our group... dramafest is coming in two weeks... we have to work our asses out to win this... we have to... or at least we have to try to win it...

we may not get the support we just need... even our own student council... the smn, samahan ng nagkakaisang mag-aaral ng nursing, is trying to push us out... in our room reservation for our rehearsal, we are not in the list... the budget of the college for the smn is only 3000... meaning, since we are just 1/3 of the smn, we only get a thousand... and how do they expect us to bring home the bacon...

the competing colleges have the support of their colleges but that is not our case...

"IPAPAMUKHA NAMIN SA KANILA NA HINDI NANIWALA SA KAKAYAHAN NAMIN... IPAPAMUKHA NAMIN NA KAHIT HINDI KAMI MANALO.... MAY MGA B**** KAMI NA TUMAYO AT PILIT NA LUMABAN... AT YUN ANG MAHALAGA... HINDI NILA MATATAWARAN ANG SAKRIPISYO NAMIN... ANG PAGSASAMAHAN NAMIN ANG MAHALAGA... ANG TINGGE AY MANANATILI!"

sana hindi maging supalpal sa aming mga pagmumukha....

DIREK ERWIE, JENN, JEN, HADJ, IVEE, KIM, JOSE, HERBERT, RYAN, STAR, JEROME, JEPOY, IRENE at sa mga mag-aalay ng libreng serbisyo para sa amin... ang aming technicals...

MARAMING, MARAMING SALAMAT... LABAN NATIN ITO... MANALO, MATALO... MAY PAPATUNAYAN PA RIN TAYO.... SANA KAYANIN NATIN ITO...

GOOD LUCK SA TING LAHAT!!!!!

tingge!

walang teacher... libre oras... aral mamya...

katatapos lang ng aming anaphysio 2 lab... ang susunod na klase ko eh anaphysio lec... nabalitaan namin kanina na walang teacher... pero para makasiguro, eh naisipan kong pumunta pa rin kasama ng ilan sa aking mga kamag-aral... aba'y akalain mo, wala nga talaga... ngayon, naniniwala pa ako na nag-eenjoy pa si sir sa bakasyon niya sa new york... naks, tate....

nag-isip ako kung ano ang pwede kong gawin sa dalawang oras na dapat sana ay nakaupo ako sa sila at nangongopya ng nakasulat sa board.. naisip kong magtabulas... hehehehe...

pero sabi ko isang oras lang... kasi mag-aaral ako mamaya para sa aking pagsusulit bukas para sa physics... kasi sigurado hanggang mga alasnueve nanaman kami dahil sa practice sa drama... at pag-uwi ko sa bahay, ang gagawin ko lang ay kakain at saka matutulog... di nanaman ako makakapg-aral... bagong buhay na... at sana kaya kong panindigan... kaya mamaya uumpisahan ko na...

Love thy Craft…

I was a bit disappointed with our performance yesterday… myself included… I can’t get myself to play my character… erwie should have been there to lead us… I really don’t know what to do yesterday but I tried to get our act together so that we can at least rehearse the previous scenes… I didn’t get mad… nor was I angry… I just pity our group… we are like little children without a guardian… nothing to do but wait… no sense of direction…. But after that little talk about loving the group and our craft…. I saw seriousness in our face… in towards our craft…

Just like michelle said, “one word… WINNER!” that continues to inspire me to do better… I hope it inspires my co-tinnge too…

I RESIGN!

it is final... i am leaving my college!

i am leaving the college of nursing.... i will join thecollege of human sciences this summer... i am not for nursing... i have a poor immune system... i may die first before my patient... and i am not challenged by the curriculum... i admit, it is phyically... but what about experience??? i would be dealing with humans, not models... i mean they lack hands-on... and let's face it, our instructors are leaving, one after the other... i don't want to learn from inexperienced instructors...

with our great number, how the are they going to teach us???

where in the world do you find an instructor who would ask, "class, any questions?" and when you ask him and he does notknow the answer, he would ask the student to have it as his assignment and report the next meeting... am i the student? or the teacher? i came here to learn... not to teach... maybe, we should define our roles... who is who...

GOODBYE NURSING!

character makes a man..

someone once told me that the measure of a man is character...

i think i have to agree...

charater... the inner self that determines the physical...

last night was our big night...

i stood behind the curtains of the cca stage... i was nervous and all... i was not ritch... i was (and still am) EMMANUEL ALEJANDRO JR! i entered the stage... i was another person... as if ritch was just one of the audience... i am the man of principles... i know what stand... and i am willing to risk everything...

emman, is just my character... but eventually, he became me... and i became him... we are now inseparable in many ways... with his character, realized many things...

i am proud to have been that actor who played emmanuel... though i may have not won the award... by heart i know i did... i learned to look at the world in a different light through emman's eyes...

i am a different person now...

i am not the person i used to be.. and i love it...

hunnger. that is the reason why we dropped by chowking before going to gimbals...

the choice i had to make...

i hate to admit it but i really hated myself for not attending the get together of tingge yesterday... well, i said to myself... "kailangan kong manindigan sa kung ano ang tingin ko ay pinakamabuting gawin..." i guess, during that time, the get together is not my priority... my priority is to spend time with my extended family... i miss them...

it was 6:00+ when i got on the bus... my head is split... tingge or la union... i just closed my eyes.... i sat silently on seat number 3... an aisle of the philippine rabbit... in a short while, i will be in la union, i said to myself...

the wheels began turning, we are on the road... i lead my head on the back rest... i thought of tingge... i closed my eyes and went to sleep...

at 8:40, i got of the bus and felt the rather warm air of bauang... luckily, a jeepney bound for agoo was there... i was nearing my second home...

i realized minutes later that the "masahista" was there... i got myself a good massage... it was really realxing for my tired body....

if only I could split myself into half so I could go to places all at the same time…

Taurus


Turn ons

Stability and dependability characterize Taurus. They like people who can blend and grow with them. If you have a Taurus partner you should appreciate all things bright and beautiful. They have an inherent artistic sense and are fond of color and music. Judge the life with them from purely materialistic point of view. Enjoy everything luxurious that money can provide. Enjoy good food (better if you can cook to please them) and good drinks with them.

Turn offs

Taurus is very slow to anger (in fact you may spend the whole life with them and still no spark) but you should not push your luck too much. Being unreasonable or aggressive with them may get you into trouble. Do not press him into a corner and if you do be prepared for a violent rage. Taurus is capable of violent outbursts though this is on very rare occasions. If you have a roving eye forget it because Taurus have can take the cake when it comes to being possessive. They can be suffocating when being possessive about you.

MY MIND NEVER SLEEPS!!!!

i began to wonder....

why does my mind refuse to sleep...

i stay idle...
my mind is at work...
thinking of things i really should not care about...

i keep my self busy...
my mind flies with time...
thinking of things rather thatn what i am doing...

my mind....

words...
images...
people...
events...

they won't stop coming...

i once read:
"the minds of the innovative and creative are never at rest."

but the hell...
i am not innovative....
neither am i creative...

this ideas are here...
inside this hollow skull...
that is my brain...


my brain...

my brain...

my brain...

is made up of 75% water...

75% water??

so will i fill it up with soda???

LIFE AS IT IS!!!!

" WE EASILY MANAGE IF WE ONLY TAKE EACH DAY THE BURDEN APPOINTED FOR IT.

BUT IT WILL BE TOO HEAVY FOR US IF WE CARRY YESTERDAY'S BURDEN OVER AGAIN TODAY

AND THEN ADD THE BURDENOF TOMORROW TO THE WEIGHT BEFORE WE ARE REQUIRED TO BEAR IT."
