Major Issues

Nung nag-apply ako sa UP dati, walang pagaalinlangan na BC talaga ang gusto ko. Hanggang ngayon, interested pa rin ako sa broadcasting at sa media pero kailangan ko talagang pumili ng bagong course pagdating ko dito. Psychology ang napili ko kasi kahit dati pa naman I find it interesting na. But after two terms and 6 credits of Art History, I found myself getting immersed in Art more than ever. Travelling is part of an Art Historian's job and that attracted me more with the course.

Gusto ko kumuha ng Psyc dahil bukod sa interesting naman, sobrang practical pa PERO gusto ko rin talaga kumuha ng Art History. Pero syempre naisip ko din na baka mahirapan ako kumuha ng trabaho with Art History. So naisip ko, gusto ko sana i-double major tutal ang dami rin namang electives na kailangan ng Psyc I might as well use it to earn another degree. Kunin ko na lang parehas para wala akong pagsisihan. Ang problema, kung ang Pysc e may Double Honours degree, ang School of Art e wala.

PROBLEMA!

Nagpunta ako kanina ng university para magtanong kung pwede ko ba kunin ng sabay yung dalawang degree kahit na walang Double Honours Program ang Art History. Sa isip ko naman kasi, baka naman pwede nila i-consider kahit na mahuli ako ng grad sa AH - basta lang makuha ko ng sabay para mas tipid sa oras. Tsaka wala naman silang magiging problema dahil ako lang naman ang maghihirap diba? Ang kailangan ko lang ay permiso nila.

Nagpunta ako ng U1 office, walang matinong sagot. Pinapunta ako sa Psyc at dun ko daw tanungin dahil di sya sigurado. Pagdating ko sa Psyc dept, ang sabi okay daw sa department kahit anong kunin para sa Double Major pero hindi sya sigurado kung pwede sa School of Art dahil nga walang DH program. Baka daw hindi pwede. Sa School of Art ko daw itanong.

Bad trip.

Hindi pa 'to dito natatapos. Kailangan ko pang makausap ang School of Art.

Miss Japan is Miss U!

• Riyo Mori of Japan is Miss Universe 2007. Yehey!
• I still find Miss Korea prettier though. I like her gown. Parang goldfish! Hehe.
• Ms. Philippines, Teresa Licaros, is Ms. Photogenic. Haha! Suki!

EXTRA! EXTRA!

Rico Blanco is leaving Rivermaya daw. Waaah! Bakit? BAKIT???

Bakit di na lang Cueshe ang magdisband?

Naglagay ako ng Counter kahapon dito sa blog. Hehe. Wala lang. Trip.

Interview

May interview ako kanina sa St. Vital. Ayun. Kahawig ni Jennifer Aniston yung naginterview sa akin. Hindi sya blonde at wala rin syang manly jawline pero parehas sila ng "arrive" ni Aniston. Team Jolie pa naman ako.

I think, my interview went well pero inisip ko pa rin kung iha-hire ba nila ko o hindi.

Reasons they would/should hire me:

• Knowledge in fashion. I'm not exactly La Fashionista but I know things.
• I know I could get the job done. Yun. Wahaha! Confidence!

Reasons they will not hire me:

• I sound busy. I seem busy with all the stuff I said I was doing. Going to school, becoming involved in UM-Sigaw, etc.
• I think Jennifer look-alike thinks I won't be able to concentrate on the job with all the stuff I do.

I realized this after the interview. She asked me about school and if I'm studying. She asked me about the org and the activities we have. It sounded like I am too busy with a lot of things. Bleh! Hindi naman totoo. I actually have A LOT of free time (which I spend in front of the computer).

Yun. Sabi niya the manager will be calling people on Friday. Hay.

All the girls comin' out for a public affair...

And, yes, I'm excited.

Maging Sino Ka Man: JB's Love Letters

EMO-ness to the nth level but I still find his letters nice. Nyahaha!
The first one here is actually his last letter to Celine. The second is one of the old letters he sent her which she refused to read.

***

My Dear Celine,

One day I will disappear completely. The letters will mean nothing.

The world will get tired of me.
You will get tired of me.
I will get tired of myself.
I'm dying but I will never get tired of you.

For you there will be no endings.
I will say your name over and over.
Like a refrain and a prayer to no one.

Then I'll be a flower. The one you'll never pick.
And will endure the breathless waiting 'till boundaries disappear.

With nothing to do I make new constellations.
Images of you as I remember.
Dancing, sitting, walking...
They are stars from a different view.

But still I see nothing but you.
Unfurling like a flower.
Swiveling like a leaf.

I once watched you sleep beside me.
It was dark then.
But the darkness is deeper now.

Tonight in my dreams I will see you.
My lady clothed only in light.

***

Like a kite I'm giving myself up to the wind.
I've made friends with the sun.
Confused the birds with strange and distant voyages.
But it is you that ties the thread and holds me down.

Like a kite I will forever hold your hand.
And with the burning human longing in your hands, I surrender.
I will never get tired of you.
For you there will be no endings.

I will say your name over and over.
Celine, Celine...
Like a refrain.
My prayer to no one.

You know I will never get far and there is no need for my return.
Only travellers leave.
I've never been a traveller for I have never left.
I am lost simply.

I wanted to be in a place I have never been and will never be of all destinations.
I longed to be lost in the fields of your hair.
Lost among your thoughts as you are already in mine.

You are my will to live.
My life started when I loved you,
and that's how I wanted to end.

Yours forever,
JB

Another Priestly Moment

...but this time, it is all kalandian!

Kung dati e angas mode ang Priestly Moment ko, ngayon the sosyal side naman. Wahaha!

Saturday ngayon so nagpunta kami ng simbahan. On the way, kumain ako so uhaw na pagdating ng church. Nagyaya si Itel pumunta ng Delta Hotel para bumili ng tubig.

Sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, nakita ko yung brand ng mineral water na iniinom ni Miranda Priestly at andun din yung iniinom na brand ni Oprah. *tuwa*

Dahil malakas ang trip, napagdesisyunan namin ni Itel na bumili. At dahil mas fashionista si Miranda, yung brand nya ang napili ko. Hahaha!

SAN PELLEGRINO!

Ano ba ang lasa ng "sosyal" na mineral water?

Sabi MADE IN ITALY. Fashionista ang tubig. This should be good!

Tinitigan ko, binuksan, inom.

PARANG COKE NA WALANG LASA.

Ewww.

Pero hindi ako nawalan ng pag-asa. Sabi ko gagayahin ko si Miranda, LALAGYAN KO DIN NG LEMON! Wahaha!

Pagdating dito sa amin, walang lemon. Solusyon: Orange na lang!

Ayun lagay sa baso, squeeze-squeeze ng orange.

Inom.

???

Lasang Royal Tru Orange.

Blech.

Dapat yung kay Oprah na lang e - Perrier sa susunod! Wahaha!

Edit: Nakainom na pala ako ng San Pellegrino Limonata dati. I love St. John's caf! Wahaha!

Lovely Complex

Pinapanood sa amin kanina ni Arianne yung movie na napanood nya recently. Lovely Complex ang title.

Visually, ang ganda ng pelikulang ito. Ang galing ng prod design dahil sobrang bagay sa kwento at sa feel ng buong movie.

Story-wise, typical funny, romantic movie pero nakakaaliw. Kung okay sa'yo ang ganun genre, then this is a good movie.

Naaliw ako at natawa. Tawang-tawa!

Young and Happy

Nakita ko sa dati kong blog tapos inedit ko. Natuwa lang ako. Haha. We all look happy here. Kita nyo ngiting-ngiti si Charles. Haha!

Lalong naging pixelated nung lumiit ang picture. Pasensya na. Ito ay kinuhaan lamang sa yearbook. Hindi scanned. Hehe. Mukha pa rin naman kaming masaya e so ayos lang. Haha!

Mga Bagay-bagay

Halalan 2007

• Nung huli kong tingin sa quickcount, nasa top 10 si Honasan. Yun. Hindi ko kuha yun.
• Talo na daw si Pacquiao. YEHEY! Hindi ito dahil gusto ko yung kalaban nyang mukhang bata. Maganda lang na malaman ni Pacquiao na dapat e sa boxing na lang sya.
• Ayokong maging number one senator si Escudero. Ang daming natatalinuhan sa kanya at sa tingin ko naman may utak nga sya. Pero wala talaga akong tiwala sa kanya. Nakikita ko kasi ang matinding ambisyon sa kanya at YUN ang NAKAKATAKOT.

Today

• Naglinis ako buong araw. Inayos ko ang aking bags.
• Malapit na mag-$50 ang mga rolls ko. Wahaha!

Tonight

• I swear I'm going to sleep early!

Tomorrow

• Get up early!
• Gagawa na talaga ako ng mga cover letters.
• Mag-aapply na talaga ako sa trabaho ng matino.

Right now

I'm thinking about my future.

Kanina binabasa ko ang description at requirements ng Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art History. Sobrang interesting. May field trips pa to different galleries outside Canada. Paglabas ko ng kwarto, may mail para sa akin na galing UM.

Sabi pwede daw akong mag-apply para sa isang degree sa FA dahil nga nakuha ko yung requirements.

Decisions, decisions...

Maging Sino Ka Man: Jackie's turn

Dahil sabi ni Arianne, ang emo daw nung last transcript, hinanap ko talaga yung epi kung saan sinabi ni Jackie ang mga linyang ito. MAS EMO! Wahahaha!

This is dedicated to you, Arianne. Wahaha!

***
Jackie: Parang masaya na si Eli ano?

Celine: Oo. Parang masaya na talaga sya. Parang hindi nga sya yung Eli na nakilala ko e. Um, ibang-iba na sya. Yung okay na okay. Alam mo, ang galing talaga ng island na to e. Tinatanggal nya talaga yung bad memories mo. T'as pagkagaling mo dito, ibang tao ka na.

Cuz?

Jackie: Ang galing no? Masaya na si Eli. Masaya na sya kasi, kasi lumayo ako sa kanya. Ang sakit pala talaga, cuz. Yung malaman na, masaya na yung taong minahal mo - na okay na sya. Okay na okay na sya kahit wala ka na.

Celine: Jackie…

Jackie: Pero masaya din ako. Masaya din ako.

Maging Sino Ka Man: Celine on Searching for Love

Wahaha! Transcript uli. I really love Celine.

***

Celine: Buong buhay natin hanap tayo ng hanap ng magmamahal sa atin, mamahalin natin. Pero pag nandyan na, pag hawak mo na madalas pinababayaan na lang nating makawala. I mean, what is it ba? Is it pride? Fear? Natatakot ba tayong masaktan?

Eli: Siguro, siguro natatakot tayong masaktan at makasakit.

Celine: But you know what Eli, ganun naman talaga yun diba? It comes with all the complications. Because wala namang perfect love diba, Eli? Minsan kulang, kung minsan naman sobra. It's never really what we want or what we expect it to be. And so we keep on searching and searching kahit naman na alam natin deep down inside, eto na yun e. Hindi na dapat hayaang makawala pa sa atin yun. Dahil eto na yung hinahanap natin. Ito na yung totoo. Kahit ano pa yang imperfections na yan. Yung love, yung love nyo para sa isa't isa that's what will make everything perfect even if you yourselves are not. But as I said we just let it slip away. Before we know it it's gone. Wala na. Wala na talaga. Sayang dahil pinabayaan pa nating mawala.

Baroque Masterworks

Because cameras are not allowed inside the gallery, I'll share what I experienced this afternoon this way. More coming up!

Last Full Show

It's 1.35 AM and I just finished watching Spiderman 3. Eto isang mabilis lang tungkol sa movie. I have to wake up early(early=around 10 am) and go to UM! Deadline pala ng tuition fee last week hindi ko alam. Well, whatever. Basta tanggapin pa rin nila ko kahit late ang bayad. Haha! Okay, here goes... (WARNING...spoilers ahead)

• As expected okay ang FX <-- kailangan talaga 'FX' at hindi 'effects'. Haha! Nahirapan ang mata ko na sundan ang fight scenes dahil sa bilis.


• Ang bilis ng kwento. Not that it's a bad thing - ayos nga e. Bad Spidey (nickname ko yan sa kanya), Venom, and Sandman were 'defeated' by the end of the movie. I was expecting na sa susunod na matalo si Venom pero ayun he was dead - but he could 'rise from the dead' in the next movie if there will be a 4th installment. Ewan. I don't read the comics so I don't know the story.


• Uhhh? Ganun pala karami ang sand sa city. Sand, as in beach sand, sa city? Oookaayyy.


• Mega-Spoiler Alert!
  --->Namatay si Harry! Waah! Hindi pwede. Mas gwapo kaya siya kesa kay Peter!<---


• Tobey is more good looking as the Bad Spidey.


• Kirsten? Aaah...ayos lang. Magaling siya sumigaw/tumili.


• Jake Gyllenhaal should have been Spiderman. (At hindi ito para magkasama sila ni Kirsten!)
