penny for my thoughts

this is what keeps me up right now:

growing up means opening yourself to an environment that seems to be much stronger but it actually is something more vulnerable. it's why adults get entangled in such complexed affairs, realtionships, and whatever you may call all those things.

one thing taht struck me is how a singel woman could be the cause of why two guys who used to be best buds. it do happen. i know that. i am not living in a perfect world. but is it right? is it worth all of it?? i mean, why waste years of hard earned trust and loyalty to one another just for the love of a woman? is it worth all of it??

of course it definitely is not! think twice guys before you do any action. same to you girls. is a boy really worth all of this???

---------------00000---------------

anyway, today is one of the reamining 4 days of my UPCAT review. that means, remaining four days of regular allowance and then i'm back to being poor. god! i hate student life when it comes to this aspect.

i did not want to go home early kanina. i actually had no intention in doing so. i accompanie dlorraine to a computer shop and then she already wnet home with tita naureen. jamie and i, went to the park near allan's house. ang baliw! alam kong anung ginawa? she actually fetched allan from his house! anyway, he kept saying he has to go, and i was telling him to go already, but all he said was that he's be doing it later beacause he's getting lazy. i actually hated him because i was saying this story about sir nikolai and he was not paying any attention! he kept on butting in many other topics. talk about respect. and to think your talking to your bestfriend. hello??

anyway, before he left, he kept making us envious about this ice cream he said he had at home. i di not mind ask what the flavor is. what was important is that it is ice cream people! it's exactly what you want in a hot summer afternoon! but he did not agve us any. so tough luck. he's on a really stingy mood kanina.whatever the real reason may be, ang weird talaga niya.

anyway, he finally left, i looked at him for a while, then i looked again then not. i caught him doing something. whatever it is, it is something really weird since jamie did not tell me until i finally made her 'fess up. guess what? well, i totally got surprised. good or bad way? well, i'll let you people decide.

jam and i spent another good hour there just chatting. what about? guess you really don't have to know. let's just say, it's something regarding the people in the place we were at. after an hour, we have to leave bacause she still has to meet up tita naureen, so we went home.

here at home, i ate pancit. i was really hungry already because i had nothing for breakfast and lunch for me was a bottle of sprite and a small pack of chips? i made ate aw cook some pancit for me. buti na lang mom had a stash here. kung hindi, gagastos na naman ako. tipid na naman. hehehe.

about 20 mins after i arrived home, tita naureen and jamie fetched me and we walked till we reachd the park at pao's house. they were getting really thirsty so we had to passed by pao's just to ahve a decent drink of water. why not buy? BECAUSE WE ALL LEFT OUR WALLETS AT OUR HOMES! when we arrived, it seems pao wasn't there so we had to go to my house "a la pie" (by foot) just to have water.

when they left me, i had a bath already and then went to bed. i watched tv for a while and then i starte dto drift off to sleep. then i heard the phone ring and surprise of all surprises, it was jam. we chatted for a few minutes then put the phone down.

i watched full house, the last episode. i watched it because it was the last episode. i really avoid telenovelas nowadays. i just don't really like the plots and all taht. but with respect to teh writer of full house, i did like her ending. =)

i'm hungry right now.

johanna narte (dearest buddy)

Silentwaters...

best day, with a story from my birdie and sir kok

I had one of the really best days of my life today. And I am NOT kidding. I am not exaggerating.

At 8 pm, I went to school. I met Johanna before I was about to enter the campus. We went upstairs. As we are climbing the final steps of the excruciating climb, I caught a sight of this guy in ponytail and then, as I got a better look, it was him I saw. Who is that him you may ask? Of course. It’s SIR NIKOLAI. Hehehe.. =)

I chatted for a few minutes with Flor and Jamie and then went inside the rooom. I answered the test passed around by Ms. Pearl. 10 minutes into the test, he entered the room. I did not noticed at first. I just noticed him when I looked behind me and saw him there (just about 12 inches away form me! Kilig!) talking to Ms. Pearl. I think he saw me look at him because of that smile he made. Hay. =)

The class then started. After the time he gave was up, he said, “Was it easy?” No body reacted. “Was it easy to fail?” I said, “Yeah, that’s more like it.” Then he laughed. Wala lang. Kinikilig lang ako. Hehehe.

The class went on until 10. The time difference from 8 30am to 10am was really great. It was Math, and I happen to like the subject so I had not much problem dealing with it. I had fun listening to all his stories and his antics and his comments. Grabe! Puro kanya na ‘to ha!!

Anyway, I just have to write this. He said:

“Nangyayari ba sa inyo na kapag kumakain kayo ng breakfast lalo kayo nagugutom?”me (weird look, and a shake of my head)

“ah. Hindi pa?? Sa akin kasi, oo. Kapag kumakain ako ng breakfast, lalo akong ginugutom sa hapon. Like ganito..”
me (thinking: ayan na!! Kwneto na naman niya!! Yehey!)

“Kasi noong Monday, hinid ako nakakain ng breakfast kasi nagaway kami ng mommy ko, so ayun. Tapos, the following day, noong Tuesday, kasi diba, wala akong tuturuan, so nagising ako ng 12pm, Then, nagpunta akong UP. Hindi na ako naglunch noon ha. Nakakain ako around 4pm na. Ang kinain ko lang noon, ung kara.. (something. I’m sorry dear readers, I forgot the name) tsaka sago. Gawa ung kara..-something sa galapong”

“Class, alam niyo ba yung galapong?”
me (what on earth is he talking about?)
“Ganito, alam niyo ba yung palitaw?”
me (shaking my head)
“Hindi mo alam kung ano ‘yong palitaw? Eh kayo? Alam niyo?”
others, “opo”
“Yung rice na ginagamit nila doon. ‘Yong ground rice. ‘yon yung palitaw”
me, “ah.. ok..”
“Eh ung bilu-bilo, alam niyo yon?”
me, “Opo”
(this time, he’s looking at me again!! Kilig!!) “ayon, gawa ‘yon sa galapong. It’s actually ground rice.”

“Tapos dinner. Ang dinner ko lang noon ay kangkong. Hindi kasi ako nagri-rice sa gabi kasi I’m on a diet.”
Me; (kaya pala ang ganda ng katawan mo. Haahah!!!)

How on earth is galapong related to inverse and joint proportion, I did not get the point. But he surely made my day with those cute patawas he was making in front. I’m sure he did have everybody’s heart. Or at least, all the girls’.


“Alam niyo ba yong Philippine National Landscape? Ganito..”
(He then drew this really crude sketch of two mountains the a sun with a smiley between them. A nipa hut and a coconut tree underneath the mountains. Infairness, cute naman po iyong drawing. Come to think of it, lahat halos ng gawa niya, maganda.)

“Ayan. At some point in our lives, we will always be drawing this thing.. kaya lang as we grow old, doon na lang nagkakaroon ng perspective. May mga shadows na.. Ganoon..”

(tingin na naman siya!!ang saya talaga!)

“Alam niyo ba, I have this classmate in highschool na lagi niya akong sinesendan ng mga.. hindi quotes eh.. siguro, self made quotes.. Tapos lagging ang ending, “Be Happy” at lagi niyang sinesend yan. As in morning, noon and night. I mean, yeah, sure, I appreciate it, pero kasi, what the.. araw-arawin daw ba! Ewan ko ha, pero ako kasi, ayoko ng mga ganyang ka-cornyhan. Naiinis ako sa ganyan. Siguro once a while ok lang. Peor ang araw arawin?? Tama pa ba ‘yon? Tapos, I have this student in Casa Real Montessori that texted me the same thing kaninang umaga, may Be Happy sa hulihan. Kasi sincbi ko na sa kanila ‘yong tungkol doon.. Grabe. Nang-aasar lang.”

What do I think about it?? Well, I have only one thing to say, I guess he really is super frank. He does not like mushy things. He want everything straight to the point. No BS. Yeah. That’s exactly how he is.

Then came recess. THE BEST!!

When I came to the canteen form the powder room, I was surprised to see that he was sitting beside the girls already! He keep on talking with them, then he handed me his picture, telling me, “ganyan ako noong first year college ako” I must say, nagulat ako. He’s chubby then. But look at him now. Shocks!!

He made this kuwento about his mom.

“Teka, (took some skyflakes from his bag) ayan.. Pinagbaon ako ng mommy ko. (He got one) Kuha kayo”
(Lorraine got one, I got one too, Tita Dianna got one too.)”

See?? He must really be close with his mom. They are sweet! J Tapos, consider this pa..

“My mom kasi is diabetic, eh diba ang diabetic, limited ang food, limited ang rice. So, everyday.. hindi naman, siguro every other day, nilulutuan ko siya ng gulay.”

See??? He and his mom must be really close. And to think, that a guy knows how to cook!! That’s the best!!

After recess…

He gave us the forms and his poster. He said, “Since I like your batch so much, well, I brought something for you guys. It’s just some posters and few application forms. Well, it’s really nothing but I hope you appreciate it.”

Me (of course sir!! Anything you bring is well appreciated. Hehehe)

I was one of the lucky people who got one of the three forms. What makes rhe form so darn special you may ask?? The fact that it came all the way from UP to his house in Caloocan and then to Divine Light Academy. Pinagingatan niyang huwag malukot ‘yon. It was even tied by a rubber band. Oh?? Diba?? Special talaga!

The poster was only two and Tita Nau got the other one. Ok lang. That picture is all over the internet. I could easy find one. J We even made him sign that poster. It said, “To the DLA students, study hard. See You in UP. Sir Nikolai.”

He reacted “You know what guys, I really want to quit this shit. I’ve been through life like a real superstar way back to the show and I just want my old life back. Sobrang hassle kasi eh. ” Yeah. I did understand. Pressure coming form all aspects of your life is not easy, especially him who is handling a showbiz career.

Right now, I am feeling some things from the Dla Las Piñas that I am hating. He ws telling us this.

“I have a student in DLA Las Piñas who looks like Cameron Diaz. So ang tawag ko sa kanya, Ms. Cameron. And then, early this morning, I received this text message from my student in DLA Las Piñas saying, “Sir, nasa DLA Molino na naman kayo. Eh papano na po si Ms. Cameron?” You know what I eman? Ano naman ang koneksyon ko kay Ms. Cameron dibah?”

Another highlight of the day.

“(he was solving in the board.solving..solving..solving..) Teka. Mali eh… (Thinking for quite a while”

me “Sir, Dapat tanggalin na po yong 48 doon sa may 7.60. Kasi ‘yon na po ‘yung total eh”

“Ah.. Oo nga noh! (tingin uli siya) Tama! Thank you! (Tingin sa mata!! Eye contact!)”

“Ok lang po ‘yon sir”

Johanna, “Uy.. Ganda points.”

I really like being around Sir Nikolai. It’s like being around one of your oldest friends in highschool. He brings such air of comfort and friendship which everyone really likes.

And then after classes, we all went to McDo. There, we only talked about him and him and him. Even as Jat’s mom and Alyanna’s mom were there talking to us, it is he who we were telling stories of.

We went to Lorraine’s. We just sat there talking for few hours. I really enjoyed their companion. The girls are so much fun. It is also really great that Flor had joined us. Since this year, I always liked Flor. Enjoy siya eh.

Before I forgot.

But my day was the best because of what I have heard from Jamie.
There is this person who Jamie told me bought the magazine I was looking for. I know who he is but I just do not want to mention the name here, baka kasi ayaw mo na malagay dito or ayaw mo ng public recognition. I am not sure eh.

For my birdie:

Hey. If you are reading this, I just want to tell you that I really appreciated you doing that. Thanks ha! When I told Jamie I was looking for that magazine, I thought she would be the one to buy me one. Anyway, thank you so much. I was so surprised with what you did. I didn’t expect you would be doing that for me. Thanks. You’re really the best. You just don’t know how you had made my day with that. It was really thoughtful of you.

Hey.. Can you also give me the mag, with a dedication somewhere in it? I just want something in that magazine that reminds me of you everytime I read it. Please?? Sige na. Do it for me.

with the cutest prof.

well, here's my official blog. not my first though, but my official blog. it suddenly occured to me, what's the sense of having one when you could not show it to everyone right??

anything news worthy??? well, i made an achievement!!

i managed to pull of a really floral skirt yesterday at school. despite all the comments of the barkada, well, ok lnag. at least i managed to do it. EVEN ONCE IN MY HIGSCHOOL LIFE!

what else, yeah, i would like to remind those who are included in tomorrow's lunch. BRING MONEY!!!! and i hope we will be able to pull off that stunt with sir nikolai. hehehe.

he's really fascinating. imagine. a cumlaude. a singer (MTV supahstar!). really cool someone.
one thing i don't like though, is the fact that he keeps on saying all these words. curses. i do understand that somehow, somone needs to cool off. especially in the heat of your rage or frustration. but saying P*** and T*** I** in almost everyother sentence is not acceptable. not appropriate.

but i think the fact that he is a sensible talker makes up for that. ilike the way he looks at things. he's very creative, very modern, chic and very sensible. he's only 21 this december! he's cute and really hot. everyone is crushing on him. taht only proves what?? i d0n't know. that makes him really intruiging.
