Of course I haven't updated for nearly i don't know how many maonths. Anyway, the plans we had pushed through. I played badminton with Jordan, Paul, Mandy, Xanjo and Meyo. Well actually, it was just with Jordan because they were saying that we were "too competitive" with the way we were playing. It's not!!! Hahaha. We're just having fun and exercising at the same time. Hehe. I would just like to say the my right thigh is in serious pain right now. Boo. I won all the games and I shall not post the score here because of certain reasons. Anyway, I won the bet so no libres. Nyahaha.
We went to fruit magic after to refresh ourselves and I had a tuna melt and fruit magic shake. Wow... how adventurous can I get with food. That is now my current favorite shake. Haha. So un lang. I had fun today and I even got to have a realization regarding girlfriends. bwahaha.

| summer and a new racket |
[Friday,
March 24th, 2006] |
Summer has officially started and somehow, I have this feeling that my already brown skin would become more brown. There are a lot of factors that contribute to this including having to walk under the sun in Ateneo. Then there's also the beach and then there's tennis. I'm going to start training again and it's extra exciting since I'm finally buying a new racket. I know this might not seem that exciting to you but it is, really.
If you are a basketball person, then it's like having new rubber shoes. If you're a musician, it's like having a new instrument to replace you worn-out instrument (if ever it does get worn-out). If you're a fashion person, then it might mean getting new shoes or a new outfit. Well, whatever. The point is I'm excited and I'm gonna work hard this summer. I'm starting my diet next week. Good thing it's the Holy Week.
Oh yeah, I got a crappy random number. It's a good thing I got into regcom. Phew!
Anyway, I can't wait to see a darker me next school year. But according to some people, I don't become darker anymore. I think I've reached my limit. Wahaha. Good for me.

Saturday: It had its fun parts. Went to the Acil thing with Karen and it was nice since I never thought I was gonna do something like this for the rest of my lifetime. We had to teach kids about the story of David and Goliath (and we did not know what the detils were). The only part I know is when david hit Golith using his slingshot. Wahaha. On the way home, we played Marco Polo in the bus. That was fun. Haha. Got tagged twice. We were giving clues like 'The letter before K.' Duh! That is really obvious... the answer is Jay. Haha.
Then went home to prepare for the IAC. This sucked because I went to Ateneo and received the text late (saying that it was postponed due to the rain). Total waste of time. At least, I get to prepare. After that, I went to the bookstore to look for books that I'm planning to buy. The books I like aren't there. Oh well... There's always a next time.
By the way, I have found new ways to wrap gifts. I mean, I wrap them 'artistically.' I'm still in the practice stage though. In other words, if I don't find a job in the future, I can wrap gifts. Hahaha. I also plan on being a chef after graduating from Bio. I know, I know. Stupid me. We will see what happens. Actually, I'm not yet sure because when I watched "Just Like Heaven" a while ago (which i think was a great movie), I suddenly wanted to become a doctor again. Fickle-minded. Crap. Haha.
Sunday: Watch "Just Like Heaven." Looked for someone to print the magazine. Ended up asking for the jpeg file from my friend. Did my english first draft which I thought I will never be able to do because of laziness. Did pre-lab #4 for org. chem. Two more na lang for the future. Woohoo.
I'm so weird. Im excited for my Organic Chem. Long Test. Me getting excited for a chem long test has never happened before. This is weird. Quatro Kid na. Wahaha. Kidding (kunwari). :p
Finally, i'm done.

I loved the Harry Potter movie. I would have kicked the asses of those who kept on saying that it could have been better because these people never seem to get satisfied. That being said, there was one kid in the cinema ranting about the movie. I mean, all the essential parts of the story were there so what's the fuss all about. The thing is, you enter the cinema as an individual who has not read the book yet. For obvious reasons, if Mike Newell included everything, we would have the British Wizarding version of Batang Westside. Five hours? I don't think that's even practical.
And please do not even try comparing it to 'The Lord of the Rings' because I found the movie nice and the book a total drag. So I think more people will fin 'The Lord of the Rings' a good movie because most of the people haven't even read the book when the movie was released. And even when the movie was released, I bet that most people just said 'I'll just wait for the movie because nakakatamad basahin 'to e.' I know I said that. I could not count how many times I got teary-eyed. No, I did not cry. It just so heppened that I yawned so many times while trying to read it. Wahahahaha.
So why am I saying this? Apart from the fact that I have been a Harry Potter fan since I was in grade six, I think the movie served its purpose. It gave non-readers a story that was worth watching.
Also, to that know-it-all kid in the cinema who kept on saying how stupid the movie was, don't watch the next HP movie. If what you want is a complete reflection of the book, then you would not see it in the next HP movie. The past HP movies were never a complete reflection and if you haven't noticed that up to now (obviously you haven't since you watched the 4th movie and ranting about it not being complete), you must be mental. Haha. It is forgivable if you haven't noticed that until the third movie. But the fourth? Who's stupid now?! Even after seeing that 'stupid' movie, I know you will still watch the fifth installment because you cannot resist it. Pathetic.
Hahahahaha. I am laughing at myself right now for even fighting with a kid. Irritating kasi kanina e.

Pick Up The Pieces by Kenny G and David Sanborn |

I realized that this has got to be the most boring Halloween I have ever experienced. For the past years, we would always have parties in the house where all my relatives would be in costumes. Even the adults had their best costumes on. But now, it's just us going to the cemetery and visiting my lolo. Somehow, my lolo passing away has affected the whole family in ways larger than I expected. But then again, maybe it's because most of us (me, my brother, and my cousins) are already growing up. No more celebrations to have fun because the kids, aren't kids anymore. It will be another decade or so when we have our own kids and we get to do those 'kiddie' events again. Somehow, this saddens me. I wish the old times were back. At the end of the day, I will always be the person who looks for things in the past (music, movies, experiences or what have you). I am an old soul.
Anyway, I just want to say that oatmeal sucks. I hate it. I woke up earlier then expect and the maid was not able to prepare breakfast. So I was left with eating oatmeal. Now I know why I never wanted it when I was a kid. It tasted like some paste with grain in it. I will never eat oatmeal again unless it is served to me by some person who has me as a guest.
I have been telling my mom and dad that I want to play the saxophone. This is not a temporary saxophone high because I remember that I wanted it since I was 14. It just so happened that tennis came into my life. Now that I have my goals set in place, I think playing the saxophone is a good way to embody a little bit of artistic quality in me. I am listening to Kenny G and David Sanborn right now. Jazz is getting to me.

I was planning on starting to write my very first novel. So I decided to text Mandy to ask for ideas. We came up with half-baked ideas so I decided to listen to music so that I can think. After, I started to write and put 'Chapter 1' on the computer. I stared at it for 10 minutes and I walked around my room. And nothing was added. Crap, this is harder than I thought it would. Oh well, I will still continue to do it. Ideas anyone?
At 7, I went to Italiannis with Mandy, Meyo, Ais and Gino last night because we were planning this since last week. The thing is, Jordan couldn't come kasi it's far daw and he was tired. To think he was part of the people who started the planning. Oh well, next time na lang. Hahahaha. I just realized that bottomless ice teas are not for me since I get to go to the bathroom like more times than usual. But then again they are because I love drinking a lot of sweet drinks. Labo. I think I went to the bathroom about 5 times. La lang.
Anyway, we headed to greenhills afterwards because we were thinking of watching a movie na lang. But then when we got there, the movies were so-so. Thus, we decided that it would be better if we just went to Meyo's house and watch a DVD there. We went to Fully Booked first and I think the Fully Booked in Promenade is better then the Fully Booked in Gateway. It's bigger e, but the books are not yet arranged. Still, I want to buy a lot of books. I saw David's achi who knew me pala. Haha. Actually, we planned on renting a DVD somewhere and just watch it. It turns out that video places are closed by 11:30. Road trip to fairview while looking for an open video place. Wahahaha. So, we just watched half of Joe Black since it was so long. GOt home at around quarter to two and read my book.
I can't wait for the DVD marathon.
It's 2 pm and I just woke up. Congratulations to me for doing this. Now, my day will definitely be unproductive. No... I have to buy comic books.

Due to insistent Damiana (yes Paul, that’s you… haha) demand, I am about to go on an adventure to the past in hopes of remembering what I wanted to be when I was a kid. But then again, I wanted to do it anyway so I guess here it goes.
When I grow up, I want to be a... (And when I say grow up, I don't mean my height because it seems that I have never grown for the past 4 years... Haha)
1. Policeman – Crap… I hate this phase. When I think about it, I just want to go back in time and tell my younger self that he has just chosen such a lousy job. Anyhow, I remember the time when I was still in kinder and each of us were asked to pick an occupation that we want when we grow older. So for some sort of reason I chose to be a policeman. Hey, kids did want to be a policeman or a fireman at that time. My cousins and I even played ‘baril-barilan’ in my lola’s house everytime. I would always pretend I am the policeman. The most embarrassing part of the game was when we would do those scenes in Filipino movies where they had to talk endlessly until they shoot. ‘Isang bala ka lang’ or the like. But it was only until I grew older that I realized why my aunts and uncles laughed at the job I chose.
2. Gymnast – Another crappy choice. Why am I even doing this entry? It seems to me that I am just embarrassing myself. The story on why I wanted to be a gymnast was because when I was 6 or 7, I used to jump on my bed and do tumble turns non-stop (Nothing stopped me even if I hit my head or back on the wall or floor). The fun part of this was I used to have that bed which had springs on it pa so I could really jump high when I’m on it. Then, I asked my dad what job I could have where I would just go on and on tumbling. His reply was a gymnast. So there, I wanted to be a gymnast only to realize that I had to wear tights to have that job. Ummm… No thanks!
3. Superhero – Well, anyone would attest that at one point in their lives they have wanted to be superheroes. I have always wanted to be either a Power Ranger or a JLA member. Wahahaha. I would always daydream and imagine that I was gonna be a superhero one day. The funny thing about this was, I used to experience this sort of ringing in my ears at random moments. Then, I would tell myself that I was being called for my superhero duties. Like batman’s bat signal. Only in my later years did I learn that it was something else. It was for some sort of medical reason... not a superhero signal, unfortunately. And I have to admit that even when I was already 15, I still daydreamed about being a superhero. Embarassing but true.
4. Boy Band member – When we were kids, the backstreet boys were so popular that my cousins and I pretended we were the backstreet boys. Basta each of us picked who we wanted in the group. Then, we would watch MTV then sing parts of the member we pretended to be. Hahaha. Those were the good old days. We even had times when we would go on top of the bed (pretending it was the stage) and sing. This entry has to be the most embarrassing entry I wrote. Anyway, moving on.
5. Chef – Wow, now this was a better choice. I started to want to become a chef when I had watched to many food shows on the TV. Actually, when I was a kid, I would go to the kitchen and watch the maids prepare the food then I would ask them if I could help. Later on, they taught me how to cook and from that point on, I wanted to cook and cook. But I have to admit that when I was 11, I tried making pancakes for merienda and ended up making weird looking pancakes. They were not round but they were just weird looking. Some were even burnt.
6. Marine biologist – This has been my dream. I wanted to become a marine biologist because I watched those discovery channel shows and I admired the hosts. Specifically, I wanted to be just like Jeff Corwin, funny and informative. I didn’t want to be the crocodile hunter though. Anyway, I would go inside my room with the TV tuned to the Discovery Channel and have it on mute. I would then pretend I was the host and I’m talking about those animals. But of course, I was just saying stupid stuff because I didn’t have an idea on what these animals did. Hehehe.
So there you go: all the things that I have wanted to be. I don’t think I have to put in what I presently want to be. If you don’t know it, you probably just happened to pass by and got chismoso so you decided to read it na. Haha. I just remembered the movie Mr. Deeds where there was a scene asking people who among them never got what jobs they wanted as a kid. I guess that’s the magic of humanity, we change. And most of the time, it’s for the better.

Yesterday was Cheng's debut. I mean, Katherine's debut. It is just so weird when you call someone by her last name (because that's how she wants to be called) and realize that all the family members have the same last name. So, you end up trying to force yourself to call her by her first name to avoid confusion. Anyway, the night was fun and I liked the food. And guess what, Emman was there but I wasn't really surprised because I knew Emman and Cheng knew each other. So there, we ate and talked then we drank a bit. While drinking I tried to tie a cherry knot. And it kinda took me three tries before I finally did it. Three tries?! Crap... Jill and Sharto even got to tie theirs first. Great huh?! But still, I am proud that I got to tie it. Haha. Except for the fact that Mandy kept coughing at me and not at other people, I would say the party was kinda fun. Hehehe.
Then we went to some music thing to sing our hearts out even if it was only Ais, Jordan, Jill, and I who were singing. Oh well, we just have to make the next time livelier. So there, I went home and slept. For the first time in weeks, I didn't sleep for 10 hours. 9 hours lang. Haha. Next stop, movie marathon and lunch with Meyo and Mandy (and Jordan & Cheng maybe) next week. Can't wait.

Ordinary People by John Legend |
] |
So here I am: sitting on a chair, typing in front of the computer, hoping to get a decent realization as I write. In the Ateneo, it has dawned upon me that a lot of students do not even know what they are going to become in the future. I could say that only the bio majors (Pre-med), and all the JGSOM graduates know what they want to do (anything that has something to do with business). Starting from the point that I stepped foot on the grounds of the Covered Courts for orsem, my life and the future of my life has already been mapped out. It starts with me struggling with my studies but succeeds in the end and then graduating after taking the NMAT. I will go into med school and then I get to become a doctor.
For some sort of reason, I have always taken comfort in the fact that I already had my life mapped out. I didn’t have the luxury of choosing and this was fine for me. Then, it hit me. I was somebody who didn’t have anymore major choices when it came to my career path. I was bound to be what my parents wanted me to be: the son that they wanted as a doctor. But it doesn’t end there. I always tell myself that it was what my parents wanted for me. They chose this path for me and I did not have a choice. So maybe, it was not entirely true. I must have wanted it somehow and I chose this myself. It just so happens that I have the convenient excuse of blaming my parents when things went for the worse. Still, at the core of it all, I wanted to be like this and it’s not that I do not have anymore choices left. Rather, I have chosen my path and I am in the middle of fulfilling this decision.
Having said that, I do not envy those who still have choices to make more, but it is those people who have already made their choices whom I envy the most. And when I say choices, it is making the choice that you know is right for you. These are the people who choose to do what they like as opposed to choosing what seems to be the most financially fulfilling. I do not condemn those who chose to be part of the business world because it was their choice and I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they liked it anyway. For me, it does not follow that choosing the financially fulfilling path means the betrayal of oneself. It just so happens that there are more people who succumb to the pressures of society by choosing that path in exchange of the path they truly love and believe is right for them.
Three months ago, my brother was choosing what course best fit him in the Ateneo. He kept on choosing courses which were out of this world. It included Environmental Science, and Art Management. So you might have guessed that this rattled my brains a bit and I started telling him he was not making the right choices. Well fortunately, he did not follow me. I never thought that in a few months from that time, I would bring upon my brother the mistake that I have brought upon myself a few years back and it was the mistake of not choosing the course I liked the most. I wanted to be a marine biologist or a chef (Well, biology isn’t really marine biology so it doesn’t count). But the point is, it would have been less stressful for me trying to choose courses if I just went with what I wanted.
On a different note, I pity those who have to compromise their desires just to go with the flow. Most of my cousins have turned to taking up nursing courses. I don’t blame them because it was an easy way out of the problems of this country. Yet, I pity them because they have lost their hope and idealism. They have compromised everything and it resulted to them saying that they are starting to like nursing (meaning they hated it before). They have lost the only thing that separates them from the generation before them. They had to go with the flow because it was the most convenient choice. Again, I do not blame them at all. Nevertheless, it is not always about money it’s something more. Fulfillment from non-material things I should say.
So, I have finally made my stand and say that I support anyone (my children included… hehe) who chooses what he wants regardless of what the benefits of it would be. At the end of the day, choosing the path that we really want will make us most content. So I guess, we just have to envy the people who were brave enough to choose what they wanted… whatever it was. I hope that there will still be some people out there who would not lose hope even if it seems that it is hopeless. It just seems so but it is not. Call me an idealistic, hopeful fool but at least, I am idealistic and hopeful. And that is what keeps me moving on. And to those who are still having a hard time deciding what to do with their lives, as it is with everything else (academics, relationships, religion, etc.) just choose what you love and it will all fall into place.

Yesterday was a busy day. First, I had my biostat long test (for the first time it was easy) and I'm hoping I get an A for my final grade. After that I went home and I try to practice some songs which I might sing for Mandy. Haha. Then, I went on to prepare for Mandy's party.
I arrived on time. Woohoo. Only Jordan, RR, and Cheng were the people earlier than me. Haha. So there, I even had to introduce Mandy because Tal wanted me to. Crap... I had to do a spontaneous speech pa. The party was fun because I got to hear a lot of people to sing. :D I sang a song which I practiced an hour before because my original song was gonna be sung by Miggy na pala. So there, I had to invent the chorus part. But I tried to like make it sound soulful-like so that the wrong notes would sound as if it was part of style. But it was all good. Hahaha. Ngek.
Then we headed to eastwood for an after party celebration. But we ended up in Katipunan because there was no more parking space. :p We had a 'bonding' session. Yun lang... no details na. I went home afterwards thanks to Gino. Basta... Happy Birthday Mandy!!!

So today was supposed to be a day of only one subject. Biostat. Anyway, the day started with me playing tennis with David because we thought it was going to rain. Then while we were playing, my racket string broke so I was really pissed because it had to happen on a day when I will play tennis after a long time. So we just stopped and we went to class. I just find it funny that I'm liking Biostat now because I kinda understand what I'm doing and that's a good thing.
After that David and I went to the tennis courts to practice serving. Good thing Gee was nice enough to lend me his racket. We played a game I won it 6-3. Hahaha. After that, Jun came so we tried out all his rackets. He had three with him. Hehe. The thing is, while we were playing, it was raining kinda hard but we still went on. Ang kulit namin.
I headed to the caf to meet with the R4 peeps tapos I listened to Mandy's mp3 player up until their next class. There was supposed to be a libre from Sir Ron today at Shakey's. I didn't go na because I was too lazy to even go out. So the day went on and waited for 7pm to strike. We were gonna watch Enzo's film. Unfortunately, we weren't able to watch it because he was part of the Final Four. Galing ni Enzo. Congratulations to Enzo, the future movie director! Haha. :) His film was nominated in all categories so fun fun fun. Labo ko.
I went home na after that and Enzo lent me a copy of his film so I can watch it. Anyway, I hope he wins it. That's it... tennis, biostat, and movies. It's kinda a balance of everything. Haha. :p
Oh yeah, I like John Legend. Galing... but why do I like almost all black artists. Hmmm...

I wrote an entry a while ago showing how pissed I was about losing my phone. It seems that Karen got a hold of it so that's a relief. Phew... thanks Karen! Anyway, I went to Annie's debut yesterday and it was really nice. There were a lot of angels and "San Pedro's" roaming around kaya funny. The food was really good and a lot of us went back for seconds. As Rupert said yesterday, 'Wala nang hiya-hiya!' Hahaha... kulit.
After eating we had to go on with the programme and I was part of the eighteen roses. I was the eighth and the emcee pronounced my name as rafael HACOB carandang. She butchered the nice part of my name. But it's all good. Then there were the other eighteens so there. Basta it was fun and I liked it. They said I was supposed to sing but I didn't want to because I didn't really practice... hahaha excuses. Kakahiya lang talaga.
When I got home, I thought I lost my phone... di naman pala. phew...

When you have five major subjects in one sem, it takes a toll on you. A while ago, I just had my Compa Ana Long test and all I can say is that I don't like it. I studied the book and the notes and it seems that it doesn't work. Usually, the test would be multiple choice so there is a big chance that you still get the correct answer. But in this case, our long test was a 'Given two statements determine whether they are both true, both false, one true one false... blah blah.' This would seem easy but the thing is, one statement would be easy to determine but the next one confuses you. So at the end of the day, you're not sure of your answer. Anyway, I just know I sucked at that long test... Great.
Anyway, I should do my theo na... update next time when I have the time.

Yesterday, I would have cut and nothing would have happened. The thing is, we don't really have anything to do for tomorrow so what the hell. Haha. For Biostat, I don't know what happened but I'm sure I didn't understand the lesson. It's all about guessing. I don't like guessing. Oh yeah, I just realized that I'm bad with games of chance (remembers arteries). Hahahaha.
Had a boring day in theo. But then again, that's no surprise. After that, I went to Shakey's with Cheng, Mandy, Jordan, and Meyo as usual and I ate my lovely pizza (Garlic and Cheese with extra beef). I love it so. I'm trying to influence other people and Meyo and Jordan said it was good. See, it's not bad! Oh yeah, Meyo bumped into a car. Wahahaha, buti na lang walang effect. Kasi why did that girl (the owner of the car she bumped) not go out agad. Bagal. Anyway, its all good. We all thought it was funny. Haha.
I had Compa. Ana. lab and it seems Dr. Jugo does not have a heart made of stone anyway. He's easy to talk to pala. I consulted him on my grades and I'm making it daw. Good.
After that, I watch Alay Kay Maria with meyo and it was just hot and jam-packed. If this was not a glee club requirement we would have not attended. We thought there was some sort of attendance... wala naman pala. Haaay... we just went to McDo to eat. Tipid e. Haha. Then we went home na.

Oh oh oh, I really like my chem lab this day. Apart from the fact that I got to finish early, I got to do the experiments 'correctly.' I know that I forgot to put phenophthalein indicator but what the hell, it still worked. Robin laughed aloud pa when he heard me say 'Bakit di siya pink? Shit, Walang phenophthalein.' Hahahaha. I kinda laughed at myself too.
After lab, I went to gateway with Ann, Issa, and Karen to watch a movie since we didn't have anything to do. We watched Red Eye and it was a so-so movie. Not really recommended. I'm not in the mood to write right now that's why my sentences are choppy.

The day started out with me going to the RSF to 'study' then I saw David. We were studying for our next class (actually, i was more of checking scores on the net). Then, I had biostat which I kinda don't understand. Haha. Then theo, which I think I got a high grade in the quiz. I need it e.
After that, I studied some cat parts and then went to the bible study. Wala lang... I love bible study days. It's not as boring as one thinks. It's kinda interesting actually. Tapos Karen and Annie went ksi they were bored daw according to Issa. After that, I had Compa. Ana. Lec. where in we had a quiz. Good thing I didn't cut or else 0 ako sa quiz.
One of the highlights of the day came when I had my Compa. Ana. Lab. oral long test. I know all the digestive parts of the cat and all its veins. The thing about this long test is that you get to roll a die to see what you have to discuss... veins or arteries. There is a 33% chance to discuss arteries and a 66% chance to discuss the veins. It's obviously easier to discuss the veins because they're black and can easily be seen. So anyway, I didn't study the arteries na and I was hoping to get the veins because a lot of my blockmates were getting veins anyway. When I rolled the die, I got a 5. Noooooooo!!!!! I have to discuss the arteries. I even "cried" for paawa effect. That sucked so much because I don't know anything. So I kinda invented and hoped the arteries had the same name as the veins. I luckily got some but I ended up with a 50/60. Well, that was still an okay score because I really expected to get low. BWISIT NA ARTERIES. Hahaha. But the thing about all this is that beyond the fact that I got unlucky, I still survived that test and with a nice score. This is something to be thankful for.
I had my first Glee Club training today and it was fun. I'm a Baritone 1 to Bass 1. I think I like my voice classification now because I have to sing the same notes at most times. Woohoo. Sir Les thought I was doing well what he wanted me to do. Yes... that is definitely a good thing. :)
Three people went to Gateway and watched Sky High without me. Tsk tsk... Hahahaha. :p

Crap... I hate this day because I am stuck at home. Why? I have a long test tomorrow and I have to study for it. I never get to spend time with the Oboys2004 anymore because of college and when the oppurunity arises. I am not available because of school. Aaaaahhh... I'm just pissed off right now because this is just ironic. I used to be the person who would not want to go out with my highschool classmates for stupid reasons. And now that I want to, I'm not available. What is the world coming to?
Had the usual day, where I ate in Wok dis way with sila David and then Glee club GA with Meyo. I still had my usual lab and I can now imagine how i'll do in the next long test. Surprisingly, I'm optimistic about it. By the way, for those of you who know what happened yesterday, everything is okay now. Thank God! Literally.

Today was the day I was looking forward to. I had biostat which was kinda okay but then something not so good happened. The lcd projector was not working so I had to go to the Escaler hall technician. But then when I got back, it still wasn't working. So I went back and this irritating technician shouted at me saying "Ikaw ang may problema, hindi ung lcd." I was shocked so I kinda had a not so good mood after that incident. Good thing some of my blockmates experienced some sort of fight with this technician and we said 'sungit!' silently while he was fixing the lcd projector. Basta, I just found it surprising that he would say such a thing.
Then had theo and we were hoping he would ask a question about Jesus' death article and not about the resurrection. But lo and behold, ressurection was the one which was asked. Since most of us didn't read it, we kinda invented stuff. Good thing I was lucky enough to get the right answer. Woohoo. After that I went to the Bible study and I have to admit it was kinda fun. I saw some people I knew and I'm planning to go back next week. Hahaha.
Anyway, I went to the Compa. Ana. Lab. to get the fetus of the cat for Enzo's project. I was trying to put it in this container, tapos I had a hard time looking for tissue so I used this piece of tissue in the sink. Kadiri but holding the fetus with bare hands was worse. So, I chose the lesser evil. After that, I went to the caf and saw my "crush" (i don't know if totoo) tapos wala funny lang yung incidents. Then, I went to Shakey's na for Hokhok's, RR's, and Tonio's birthday. Woohoo. Large pizza in the house. I could use that plate for a weapon. Hahahaha. Had lots of fun and then I went home after that. Yun lang.
Badminton again tomorrow, so I better prepare myself. I need to beat people because I know I suck. Maybe I can beat Paul (kunwari guy para mukhang may challenge). Hahaha. I'm excited and I will make sure I get to finish lab early.

When I was a kid, I always went to play 'Superheroes' with my cousins. We had our own weapons (ropes, plastic swords, sticks) and our own costumes. We would go around our lola's house and run after each other or run after the villain (usually it's the eldest). What I liked about all this is that we got to choose our own powers. Mine was the power to stop time. It was the power that I thought most powerful because I got to stop my enemies which usually results to us beating the villain. But of course, you can't help it if the villain cheats from time to time. I know I did cheat when I became the villain. But the thing is, that's besides the point.
I've always wanted to alter time. Stop it, Turn it back ot move it forward. There's something about how you can change everything with a blink of an eye. I've always wanted that power. I wait for the moment that I get to experience it. However, now that I am not into the superhero thing anymoe I am in search of the moment that will make time stop. It is the moment that I meet the love of my life.
'When you meet the love of your life, time stops. It just so happens that time moves in fast forward once that moment passes.'-Big Fish
I will wait for the moment when I experience time stop. Even if it moves in fast forward after that moment, i still search for it and run after the love of my life. Run until time stops and make sure it never ends.
I wait for the moment. I stand still. I run. I love.
