i know it's such a waste of time... but i'm hooked... (what?!?!?!?!)
so to keep my mind off it for a while, here's a reading list i want to finish by the end of the year...
- bloody chamber and other short stories by angela carter (i was able to start reading it already... it was fun... haha.. but extremely gory... but at least it was not very graphic... or was it just me? anyway...)
- once and future king by t.h. white (hah! haven't finished it until now)
- one hundred years of solitude by gabriel garcia marquez (like with once and future king, this has been part of a reading list for english... pero this one's later... it was required 1styearcollege 1st sem.. the other one's during 4th year hs pa.. see how masipag i am  )
- brothers karamazov by fyodor dostoevsky (kasama pa rin sa reading list for eng12.. haven't started it yet... and while i'm at it, i advertise sparknotes.. i survived 2 exams about brothers on sparknotes alone... teehee...)
- lord of the rings (grabe... haven't watched the movies, haven't read the book... it's just so tiring to be so op whenever speakers or teachers use it as an example )
- stardust by neil gaiman (i loved the movie.. so i wanna read the book  )
-eclipse by stephenie meyer (i was able to read the 1st two books already and i just love the saga.. i just got really busy with *work* after new moon kaya i wasn't able to read eclipse.. pero hopefully, i'd be able to read it before classes start)
- sophie's world by jostein gaarder (i was able to start reading it but then, schoolwork got in the way.. )
- the pact by jodi picoult (i just love jodi picoult!!!)
- one book from john grisham... (i last read a john grisham book nung sembreak pa ata.. so i really need to read one before schoolwork starts to pile up.. such a shame... )
so there... my lame excuse for a blog entry..

so.... i've been trying not to react here about the current pbb season but it seems that it is just inevitable...
i just don't get it... i'm not exactly miss goody-two-shoes myself and i know for sure that the values of the pbb teen housemates are not in order...
pbb has reached an all-time low... well, maybe not quite but really low, nonetheless... and it's something you can't just blame on the producers or anything.
i just don't get it how they were able to give 9 and 5 points to rona and robi respectively and only 4 points to nicole and a measly 2 points to beauty... i just don't get it... i may have accepted it easily if the housemates went all survivor on rona and robi. i mean, it would have been more acceptable if they just said that they wanted to evict the said housemates because they were top competitors. but no! they nominated them for what i think are really senseless things...
would you really nominate someone just for not laughing at your jokes? wth! and would you nominate someone for being well-off even if he really was deserving?
i just don't get it...
is it really the house or are people nowadays losing touch?
while watching the nomination take place, i didn't cry, as some would probably expect me to. i was just in extreme disbelief.
between rona and robi, one would be going out this weekend. they are my big 2 and i was really hoping that they'd stay until the finals. i wanted either one of them to be the big winner. but now, it seems that only one of them could be. heck, by big night, they might even both be out. but while they may have both financially lost but i don't think they're the actual losers here...
as what clar had said in her blog, my reaction might be too much and judgmental but the fact that it really happened is just too sad..
p.s. kung si mikan nga mahal na mahal si rona for her ugali... now, why can't they just be like mikan and see that what rona's doing is actually the right thing?

in other news, i have been a working girl now... i've been tutoring "kids" these past few weeks and i must say, it has been a rollercoaster ride since.. can you believe it, i felt the same jitters in this amount of time as i have felt before the psq, on my first day of college, on the day of our str defense, during the weeks leading to the announcements of the with honors and on other life-changing moments...
i've lost appetite for the past few days and lost sleep over my tutorials... i've really been stressed a couple of times... it's hard to think that your tutee's academic life depends partly (if not mostly) on you... and his future , too. i've been tutoring math and although i am not exactly brilliant at it, i can as-a-matter-of-factly say that i love it. i really want to share that with them... because i realized that if you actually decide to be good at it, you will be...
before, during our overnight at clar's house, i told clar and ray2 that tutoring was very fulfilling for me... though before, it was not a selfless fulfillment. it was fulfilling in the sense that i was actually working and earning for myself... but just today, i felt the sense of fulfillment that teachers usually feel. and it doesn't hurt that one of my tutees gave me the best compliment i think a tutor could ever receive. he may not know it but it just made me feel a lot better, a whole lot better.
p.s. i just read this article in peyups and i fully agree with the author... i just can't get how some teachers could be downright sadistic... and doesn't it really bother them? btw, this is the link to the article. http://peyups.com/article.khtml?sid=4374

no matter what happens, i realized that i would be a brucas fan through and through... kahit pa kung anu-ano pa mang comment ang sinabi ko nung start ng season.... it's just so sad that it seems they won't be ending up with each other anytime soon (or ever?)... huhu....
at least the writers made up for it in the 15th episode... how i'd love if this happened under the circumstances i wanted it to...
haha... sorry na... delusional na ako... that's what i get from reading and watching too many love stories... through

i hate feeling this way, having what-ifs in my brain. and the worst part is the fact that i can't change even a bit of the things that happened... i didn't have a choice back then, in the first place..
-----
i feel bad, looking back on the things that i've done... i just realized that back in grade school, i was such a bitch... yes... i said it... i was a bitch.. thank goodness i'm not now... at least, i'd like to think so... but then again, i guess, we were all bitches back then, secretly yapping at each other...
-----
i wish i could do something more productive this summer. i sort of regret not prerog-ing for math54... i've been uber unproductive and i can just feel all the weight i'm gaining by the second. it doesn't help that there is an overload of pringles, chocolates and mangoes in our house today... i just wish i could start with the job soon so i couldn't stay up late which means that i wouldn't be able to go online which will make everything a lot easier for me. because then, i wouldn't really feel how my life kinda sucks... i kinda like it better back when there was school to worry about... at least i can blame everything on it... it sucks not having a scapegoat...

okay... i'm being too emo right now so i'll sign off..
tata!

been wanting to write a decent entry for the longest time because as you can see, this blog is officially rotting... i've long been waiting for the muses to come but they seem to avoid me like the plague... and whenever i try to read the blog of other people, i get discouraged even more because as you can see, my life is kinda B-O-R-I-N-G. no, actually, it is....
but then i realized, pleasing people with my adventures or what-not is not the main goal of this thing. i mean, yeah, it might be a plus but it's not the end-all be-all of my blog, right... so yeah.. that kinda encouraged me to write again... yay!
and what better way to start by writing about the school year that was -- well at least for most people since i still have pe to worry about...
adjusting was a lot harder... at least compared to what happened in high school... there were really bouts of loneliness and depression. there were numerous times when i just wanted to go back in time and just stay in high school forever... but then, we all need to grow up sometime. and at least i'm thankful that i really feel that i was put in the right university... i so love up... it's physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting but the simple things just make you appreciate the beauty of it all... i'm also glad that i'm loving my course more and more... i still have to adjust to the people and be more friendly but at least i love the teachers... they're all friendly and helpful and not scary at all... :D
i'm also glad that i kinda feel that i'm growing more independent each day... i already know how to commute to up from my house and vice-versa... my parents are allowing me to go anywhere na practically around the whole metro... so it's a-okay! i've also learned how to budget.. i mean i haven't really saved except for the small amount that's in my bank account but at least i didn't have to ask my parents for extra money for stuff that's outside academic boundaries.. :D and i'm gonna work soon, too... yay... magiging biggie na si piggie!
so generally, it was a good year.. i've had so many new experiences... and although i certainly miss a lot of people especially my really close friends whom i only get to see every so often, i'm happy with how the past school year turned out... feeling ko talaga, prineprep na ako for the "real" world... and besides, life is not always a bed of roses... kaya all is well. :D
