An “Antique” Fiesta
Yesterday I went to Funda, Hamtic, Antique to (as what the title says) load my stomach! Lol. We left at 8AM and the 1-hour trip would’ve been perfectly fine if only we had seats. Not to mention my head touching the ceiling of the bus, so I really had a hard time ‘bending’. John Paul immediately met us upon arrival and we headed off to Jennifer’s house. There we met our other classmates who were already in the place the other day and had an overnight. I was with my classmates Rodrigo and Marianne by the way. We ate suman and learned that the others went to the disco the other night and watched this Korean movie “The Intimate.” After lunch (tank full already =D), we headed off to the school(s) where our Antiqueño classmates graduated. We wanted to watch the field demo of the elementary and high school students but it was just so hot being outside. We stayed at John Paul’s and watched “Elimidate” and “The 5th Wheel” in the etc channel. Man, these kinda shows are really worth watching. Finally, we went to San Jose, the province’s capital, to withdraw in an ATM and, at least, catch a glimpse of the place (err, actually, for my part alone). I arrived at the dorm 30 minutes past the hour of 6 and it appeared deserted. Is it because it’s the first weekend since class started? Nyah. Or maybe they all went to the city to watch “One More Chance” starring Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. Hehe..
I actually wanted to blog yesterday but the connection here in the café across the dorm got shitty, as well as earlier today. I almost thought that maybe my domain server’s becoming sick or what. The screenshot above is the banner for my upcoming layout. But grr, I can’t make things out using div tags. So most probably I’ll end up using tables again. HELP! Ugh, hate myself for being very lazy. I’m having a heavy feeling, so I guess I won’t be going to the church today. Lastly, HXH Chapter 267’s here! ^o^

Third Year 2nd Semester
Whew, school’s here again. I’m in our computer laboratory taking the opportunity that there are still no formal classes. My classmates are again singing their hearts out via lyrics found in the Internet. John Paul’s been showcasing his voice again. It’s not actually bad, but it sure is funny on how he ‘uses’ it. Last night we went to our ex-dormmate’s (who’s now a teacher) boarding house to celebrate our dormmate’s birthday. One of our CS teachers (whom I saw at Robinson’s Place last Saturday with a date, hehe) also resides in the same house so we were able to have a little chat with her. We ate Piaya, Valenciano Valenciana, and Buko Pie.
The Miss Earth 2007 Coronation Night was last night and it was held in UP Theater again. Last year it was in some sort of government building very open to the public that a hired sniper could easily kill a number of contestants. The male host was VJ Utt of MTV Asia. If you don’t happen to know, like me, he’s a Thai. The candidate from Thailand got in the Top 8 and when she got interviewed, her interpreter was not able to do her job! In fact, she even looked more scared. I’m guessing she was intimidated by Utt’s presence. Blah. Good thing, for the MTV host was there to do the job instead. For today’s happenings, err, I knew from Ben, when I was falling in line at Heaven’s Bliss for lunch, that the new curriculum for our course will no longer include the legendary Math Series — Calculus — 53, 54, and 55. Math100, a somewhat ‘compressed’ version of the three subjects, will take its place. Is it unfair or what? *gonna go and tell my classmates (evul grin)*
STARDUST
Yesterday I went to the city of Iloilo to buy some groceries. I always do so at SM, since I have an SM Advantage Card. It would’ve been perfect except for one thing — I forgot to bring the card. What I did to motivate myself from still buying without earning points was knowing the fact that a point is earned for every P200.00 purchase only. Turned out that I lost 5 points for that matter. After leaving the stuffs at the baggage counter, I watched Stardust with my classmate. When we got out of the cinema, we knew that her classmate and its (hehe) boyfriend had their seats behind ours all along. I really find it funny that they even had to wait for us to go out so that they could let us know that they were there from the start.
Tristan (Charlie Cox) is madly in love with Victoria (Sienna Miller), but Victoria is bound to marry Humphrey (Henry Cavill). One night, while drinking wine in the open air, they see a falling star. To prove that his love is real, Tristan promises Victoria to bring that star to her. Soon he finds out that the star is actually a girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). As he journey back home, he realizes that he’s not the only one seeking the star. There’s the King’s (Peter O’Toole) three remaining living sons — that eventually became one — who need it to become the ‘legal’ successor of the crown as well as the witch Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), together with her two sisters, who needs it in order to achieve youth. As Tristan struggles to survive in the magical land which he crossed beyond borders, he will meet the legendary Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro), who turns out to be a wuss (Lol). As the battle over the star continues, Tristan realizes that true love cannot be bought by some shimmering object, and earns its real worth.
Naks! So how was the movie for me? On a rating with the highest as 10, I’d give it a 9.9. The story’s brilliant. Yes, it’s fantasy, but I’ve never seen anything like it before. The animations were great (it makes me further wonder if I can do even a puny inch of it after taking up Computer Science), it was really worth watching for me. Robert De Niro’s character is something to be really looked forward to — a strict and bold captain as you’ll see at first sight, but is actually a captain for hairstyling, fashion, and cooking also! The sole thing that made me not to perfect my rating was the way on how Lamia got killed. -_-
And oh, there’s a new animé I saw in ABS-CBN this morning that I think I’ll surely like and follow episode per episode — School Rumble! I just hope that it’ll stay during weekends as long as there’s still school!
Etcetera, Etcetera
Whoa! I was supposed to blog all the things that happened lately immediately after logging in to my administration panel when I was luckily (yes, that’s the word) transported into Matthew Mullenweg’s (the man behind the Akismet plugin that captures spam comments) blog. Holy cow. He’s one of the persons behind WordPress and he’s just 23 years old¹! Whow, how I wish I could be like him someday, some day..
I am now an official student² of our school for the second semester. A big thanks to my classmate, for taking my shoes while I couldn’t find a way to get back at school earlier or on the day of the enrollment. What was left for me to do this morning was to simply pay the tuition fee and have my forms stamped with “Registered.” Prior to that, I waited minutes in Landbank for the ATM to go online. It did, thankfully. And I happened to overhear someone (when I was already in the tricycle going to the dorm) saying that it was already offline at that time. Friday seems my lucky day.
Last night when I arrived at the dorm, I was welcomed with a news that my monitor got broken after tumbling from the bed by not being given enough attention by my dormmate who borrowed my computer for the semestral break for her to do her thesis. Great. It’s still in the repair shop, and she’s saying that she’ll buy me a new one if the damage cannot be undone. Yeah, right. Before going to bed, I read the newspaper. It said on the front page, “Girl, 11, loses hope, hungs herself.” She’s from Davao, and the reason why she did it was because she could no longer stand the situation of their family. Such a terrible news, and I can hardly imagine someone as young as her would do ‘it.’ When her parents gathered up her things, they recovered a diary and a letter, which was very unfortunate to reach GMA’s “Wish Ko Lang” show.
Of course, I’ll blab a few things before I got here in Iloilo. I (ended up) stayed in Cagayan de Oro City for almost three days because I got the schedule of Negros Navigation wrong. And so what I did there was to stroll around Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan) with my hayskul classmates while they were still on the process of enrolling themselves and ‘formal’ classes aren’t expected to happen yet. They were blaming my presence because it got their pockets empty *ehehehe* from eating at KFC and Chowking and doing Arcade Games in Limketkai Mall (they actually skipped one subject after being drowned by the fun — am I to be blamed?$), and going here and there. We went to two National Bookstores and I found myself buying Bob Ong’s “Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas”. The following day when I told my classmate that it’s not what the title says, she also bought a copy — including the rest of Ong’s books!
