This weekend, my childhood friend called me. He confessed that he liked me... that he has a crush on me. OMG!!! We've known each other before we had any reason. He's my cousin's cousin... sort of a cousin-in-law. Our dads were best friends in college.
That time, I asked him why he liked me. Then he said I was mabait and maganda. I then said to myself, ha! matagal na noh! hehehe... Well, in reality, I just said thank you. Well, what else could I say?
I've been sort of anticipated this. I mean, what kind of guy goes out of his way, spending money twice as much and missing a day in the office just to have brunch with you? And what kind of guy sends you 10 text messages everyday? I think I would be a fool if I don't get his non-verbal intent.
Boyfriends are still out of the question. My life is already a tangled mess with school and I don't need another burden. But he didn't say he would court me... or is courting something done without the consent of the girl? You know, just doing your thing until the girl falls for you.
Well, his point was just to tell me that he likes me (he was babbling and shaking the whole time din daw). And my point... I'm very much flattered. I'm glad there are guys who appreciate my beauty (*haha, narcissistic bitch!*) Yun lang!
What a weekend!

LOSER
I couldn't believe it!!! After just 4 months of being with my beloved Kevin, I could feel something going wrong with him. Just last week, after I charged him and went to sleep, the battery went dead the next morning. It couldn't have been turned on accidentally because I always push the Lock tab. It's been giving me signals of connecting him to the power source before completely dying...
....waaaahhhhh......
There's something wrong with his battery. I charged him for four hours at a time, just like the manual said. But his battery's draining itself in copious amounts even when not in use. I'm so torn. Does this mean I have to replace him again? With the warranty and all...
I remember the other times my gadgets had gone bonkers... and I'm just glad they're all within warranty..
1. The Toshiba laptop I got at the start of college--- three months and it just crashed on me. Repairs and changed parts could not keep it together. Just had it refunded and bought an Acer instead.
2. The router I bought for wireless and simultaneous internet connection--- within six months, it wouldn't work and we could not connect to the internet... had it changed.
3. My Palm Tungsten T3--- crashed and could not operate anymore. No, it's not the battery. Had it shipped back to Singapore and changed it with another T3.
4. My Sony Ericsson K700i--- I could not send messages from my network, even if it was an open line. Had to change it.
5. iPod Mini (Kevin)--- battery's gone nuts... draining itself even when not in use. Must have it looked and changed
I've been a big-time loser when it comes to purchasing gadgets. I always get the factory defect. But in a way, I'm really glad that they decide to kill themselves within the warranty. Other times, I let dad or mom buy the item for me. It sounded much safer and they have better luck at NOT finding dysfunctional merchandise.

Asar-Talo
There's this guy that's been bugging me for the longest time. I know him since we were little. And recently, we've been in constant communication. Emphasis on CONSTANT!
And now, I feel really irritated that he sends me around 10 SMS everyday! He keeps on rambling about his life...
...that he's about to go to work and that he doesn't want to...
...that he's in the office now and made it just in time...
...that he's bored in the office...
...that he's playing hooky...
...that he's hungry...
...that it's finally break time...
...that his break time's over and he has to go back...
As in every single detail of his whole damn life he tells me! And I could care less. I don't reply to his messages, trying to give him a hint to stop it because I'm not interested in his life. Ok, I'm being a bitch here but I'm already stressed out and busy with my own life that I don't need to fuss on another's.
He's a good friend and all but he's too assertive. I don't know how to deal with it coz I'm really bad at sugar-coating words or using euphemisms... because I really don't do that. My tactless ability has cost me a lot in my younger, immature years. Now that I'm 20, I think I should start acting and thinking like a 20 year old.
What I did was that I ignored him. I always said I'm busy (it's kinda true naman...). I guess he didn't get the point. He sent messages like crazy and my inbox actually flooded with his name everywhere!!
Men... why can't they read signs? They can't figure it out unless you tell them directly. And when you tell them, they get mad at you because you were being heartless and harsh and that they get hurt too.
I don't need another complication in my already stressed life. It seems that everyday, it gets harder and harder to smile genuinely. I try not to be plastic, just show my real self. But sometimes, it's when I smile that I'm actually asking, begging for help. That people should go beyond the facade... which, I admit, is hard to do. One teacher in high school told me something I'll never forget:

It's been so long
After going AWOL from the blogging habit in around three weeks, I've had tons of stories that will last me... this week's post.
!!!!!
This Tuesday, Mom, Pat and I went to the Makati city hall to get back our driver's licenses. Lho and behold, my brother and I were caught in Makati for ignoring traffic markings and traffic signs, respectively. Si Patrick, "stepping the line" daw. I didn't see the NO 'friggin' U-TURN sign which was "strategically" placed where you've already realized you violated it.
It was around 8am when they opened. Many people (actually, they were all guys... ako lang yung pasaway na babae) came to get their licenses. Our penalties were both Php500 so Mom'll just take it out on next month's allowance...*sigh* While we were lining up, I felt like I was in the Hall-of-Shame. The guy inside kept calling me Magbanga... and I kept correcting him but he wouldn't listen. Stupid man! Mas marunong ka pa sa akin, buong buhay kong dinala yang pangalan na yan.
Anyway, I committed that foul crime the Friday before. It was Quezon city day so we had no classes. We went to Globe's career talk and then decided to watch a movie with Gracie and Iking. I decided to park first in Makati then take the MRT to Shaw Station. I was caught by this sneering and leering pervert. I felt so dishearted then and wanted to go home but then decided against it.
I met up with Gracie, Iking, Dana and Elise and watched Bewitched. It was great. For a moment, it kept my mind of my stupid traffic violation. We then went around and looked at stuff until Gracie, Dana and Elise's car was there. Iking and I then parted ways in the MRT--> he was northbound, I was southbound
When I got home, I told mom about it. She said she was also caught but talked her way out of it. By the way, that place used to allow U-Turns until that week.
I just can't believe that I already have a traffic violation. My record is tainted... damn police and their 'entrapments'! Why can't they put the sign BEFORE the stupid intersection? Noooo... they just had to put it after you made the stupid U-Turn!

Pagsasalu-salo
Noong isang linggo, nagyaya si aR na mag-overnight sa Binangonan upang mag-celebrate ng kanyang ika-21 Founding Day. Natuwa naman ako na maraming sumama. Yung mga hindi nakapunta, hindi ko na talaga mapilit... kasi si Inca may immersion at si Joan, may family affair.
Sumabay kami ni Iking sa van ni Gracie. Kasama si Dana, Mang Domeng at si Tita Merla. Medyo nawala pero nakaraos din.
Masaya ang naging pakiramdam ng lahat kahit umuulan. Magtatampisaw sa swimming pool lang naman kaya hindi abala sa amin ang mabasa ng ulan. May videoke rin na inubos namin ang lahat ng 5-peso coins para lang maka-birit at maka-sayaw. May mga nag-laro ng poker c/o Dugong. Nakakain din ako ng itik ng unang beses. Di ko talaga kayang kainin ang gizzard kahit anong mangyari.
Of course, hindi nawala ang video taking at picture taking. Pero doon ko nalang ilalagay sa aking photo album. Kung gusto ninyo, doon ko nilagay ang lahat ng litrato ko. Hanapin ninyo ang Lake Villa na album sa http://yenie.multiply.com/photos. Kung indi gumana ang link na ito, meron sa gilid.
Sayang nga lang at umuwi kaagad sina Karlo, Rob at Chax. Kelangan na daw kasi nila umuwi.
Tumambay at naglasingan kami sa mga pambahay/pantulog namin. Terno pa nga sina Rina at Ginny. Maraming nabangag. Hindi ako kasali dun kasi nailabas ko na yung alcohol bago ako nalasing. May mga umiyak, may mga mala-teleserye ang mga buhay... iwan ko na lang na ganun.
Nag-biritan kami sa mikropono. Yung mga ibang bisita nga e... feel ko umalis dahil sa sobrang ingay namin. Mas masaya pala maglabas ng sama ng loob sa pagkanta! Hindi ko alam. Ang ginagawa ko kasi dati, naninipa ako... basta, violent. Napaos na nga ako e!
Sa tingin ko, mas masaya nung simula kaming sumayaw nina Jake, Gracie, Tiff, Archie, Ritz at minsan si Iking. Natuto akong sumayaw ng Justing Timberlake, Vhong Navarro, Cha-cha at Swing. Na-inspire tuloy ako matuto mag-dance lessons. Masaya pala ang jazz at hip hop dance. Wala lang.
Natapos na nga lang kami sumayaw nang wala na kaming 5-peso coins na kinakain ng videoke machine.
Mga dalawang oras lang ang tulog ko. Sa sleeping bag ako natulog kasi wala nang space. Ok lang, parang cowboy.
Nung umaga, nag-ikot kami kasama sina Gracie, Iking at Archie. Wala lang. wala nang magawa e. Uhaw na nga rin kami kasi medyo naubusan kami ng tubig nung gabi.
Nakatulog ulit ako hanggang sa sinundo na kami ni Mang Domeng. Sumama sina Archie, Ritz at Rina.
Dapat nga, susunduin ako ni Mom sa bahay ni Gracie kaya lang hindi kami makapasok. Wala yung susi sa dapat niyang kinalalagyan. Dahil sa Megamall ang pamilya niya, sinabihan ko na lang si mom na sunduin ako sa Megamall. Ayos naman ang lahat.
Naisip ko lang na sa tagal na panahon kaming nagsa-sama, napansin ko nah indi ko pa pala lubusang kilala ang mga taong tinatawag kong barkada. Alam ko namang lahat ng tao, may mga bagay-bagay na tinatago (meron din akong mga ganuan). Simula pa lamang, hindi ako sumasama sa mga outings at gimiks ng block at barkada pag bakasyon. Palagi ko kasi kasama pamilya ko sa Jakarta.
Ngayon, naisip ko naman na ang taong ito ay ibigay ko sa aking mga kaibigan. Huling taon na namin sa kolehiyo. Nasa isang paaralan lamang kami ngunit ang hirap hagilapin. Pano na lamang kung nag-ttrabaho na kami at may sariling pamilya??? Pahirapan talaga.
Gusto ko sana sa lahat ng pagkakataon, makapiling ko ang aking mga naging kaibigan sa kolehiyo. At gagawin ko iyon!

Going to Prison
I went to school today to have our orientation for our immersion.
We're going to New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa. Yehey...
I'm not that excited to go there. I mean, I can live the rest of my life without going there. But it's all part of the theological reflections on our experiences, which, after a deep and thorough analysis, we would be able to come up with reflective actions and make our lives meaningful.
We were to be 'adopted' for three days by families of inmates or the 'bagong laya'.
Kuya Bob gave us policies and instructions when we get there. We'll be visiting the Medium and Maximum security prison cells.
Well, I'm not really inspired to post something. It's just rants I was able to squeeze from the depths of mind.
I'll write more when I'm inspired.
