On life's simple pleasures and life's simple symptoms [Apr. 13th, 2006|06:39 pm]
[Current Mood | thoughtful]
[Current Music |The sound of silence, actually, of the electric fan]

It's all over my friends page now so:

Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. Playing the piano
2. Free food tasting
3. Lying on the grass
4. Watching the fish in the aquarium
5. Staring blankly into space
6. Feeding/petting animals (as long as they don't bite back)
7. Playing with Lego (Which I still have)
8. Chatting with friends
9. Doodling on and/or cutting up scratch paper
10. Laughing at my own mistake

Everybody seems to be tagged already but if you wanna do this too, go ahead. But jsut to be sure, Jayvee you're tagged. Just testing a theory.

Speaking of 5. Staring blankly into space, this actually happened on one of the first times I talked to Carlo Cabrera (aka Garfield):
(It was early morning on the first day of Debate Camp 2005 and a few of us were waiting outside for Jess to open the venue)
Carlo: Hansky, What are you doing?
Me: Staring blankly into space.
Carlo: O_O

That's it. Just another random memory. (I actualy forgot what else he said after that)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Bear with me here, it takes a while before I get to my point.

On another note, I got really sick starting Monday (good thing I left the crosstraining early) with something probably flu problem although we're not really sure (the symptoms don't match). Either way, I'm getting much better. But these past few days got me thinking about something. When people start feeling sick, and perhaps, may want to check what their problem is online, it won't really be helpful. Most online search engines and medical references need you to know the name of your sickness to be given info on what it is and what to do. But most people only know what they feel like pain in joints, fever, difficulty breathing, etc. And it can happen that people can think it's just colds when it really is the flu; or that a really high fever is dengue fever when it's actually a bad heatstroke.

Then again, we have doctors to whom we go to and learn about this stuff but my mom, for one, is almost a doctor by reading lots of medical books, consulting with my Tita, a doctor and taking care of me at home. She knows that when I am flushed, have a headache, and feel feverish and really drained of evergy, that I probably have a heastroke for example.

So I thought, why not have a sort of medical wikipedia? One where you either type in the name if you know it or just put in all the symptoms you're feeling and let it narrow down what you possibly might have. Well, I don't think it would work for serious things but it might help when someone is sick at home and you're not exactly sure what it is. It might help you treat it a bit for now at home or alert you that something really wrong is happening and that he needs to be brought to the ER. It could work because jsut knowing what you're dealing with even at home may help already and with the internet, it could become very accessible.

There are so many other things to consider. But its jsut a concept I thought of right now. Must be a combination of watching House M.D., Scrubs, being sick, and wanting to be a doctor.

Writer's Block...one year later [Apr. 9th, 2006|11:51 am]
[Current Mood | lazy]
[Current Music |Radio - The Corrs (I want their latest CD)]

April 1, 2005

My creative side still needs to warm up...Argh...I need to write better!


And one year later, I feel exactly the same thing. O_O

To be brief, what happened this week? I have to say thanks to Kim for that small but nice party last friday notably the jello shots no one seemed to have figured out how to drink at first.

Oh yeah, I just came from Subic with the Tennis Club featuring Jayvee. As the name suggest, we played tennis for quite some time there and tried to teach jayvee how to play. We also spent a lot of time talking about musicals (Rent) and Anime (I don't know how to spell the name. What is it James?). And we must be one of the few people who go all the way to Subic and purposefully spend three hours sitting at the edge of the boardwalk and reflecting about life.

On a sidenote, I'm realizing more and more how important third year will be and how much I'm putting on the line for things like grades and debate.

Finally, I saw this in a number of my friend's LJ's so I'll do it too.

The Wikipedia Birthday Meme
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

January 17

Events:

1946 - The UN Security Council holds its first session.
1973 - Ferdinand Marcos becomes "President for Life" of the Philippines.
1991 - Gulf War: Operation Desert Storm began early in the morning. Iraq fires 8 Scud missiles into Israel in an unsuccessful bid to provoke Israeli retaliation. <-- Exactly one year after I was born :P

Births:

1706 - Benjamin Franklin American writer, inventor, publisher, and ambassador (d. 1790)
1962 - Jim Carrey, Canadian actor and comedian
* James Earl Jones who is the iconic voice of Darth Vader was also born on this day in 1931

Death:

1997 - Clyde Tombaugh, American astronomer (b. 1906) <--The guy who discovered Pluto and proposed the idea of Planet X (Some of his ashes are being carried on a probe to Pluto as we speak, I mean, as you read...random info)

Hello reader, do you have a blog? Okay then, you're TAGGED!

p.s. After seeing how much I wrote, perhaps its not so much of a writer's block. Either way I'm feeling very lazy this summer. Who doesn't?

Crosstraining...Happy April Fools nga pala (This House Believes....) [Apr. 1st, 2006|07:22 pm]
[Current Mood | accomplished]
[Current Music |Agua de Marco (Waters of March) - Antonio Carlos Jobim]

Well, I was really annxious over the crosstraining for some reasons. I stayed up late last night to fix stuff with Alvina (actually just spent time worrying) and came extra early (Haha...You did too Val, don't deny it...Early Bird Curse indeed!). Perhaps its because it hasn't been a very nice week for me (except for watching Rent) and I've really been on the edge these days. But anyways, the crosstraining worked out very well. We managed to fit three good debates, I got to practice adjing, I gave one of my more passionate speeches, met a lot of people (soiree...*ahem*..I was really coughing a lot today), and laughed a lot. Interestingly, I kinda lost my voice after just one debate (some of the Knollers might have noticed) as in, it's not sore throat or anything, but barely anything came out of my mouth...oh well, it's better now.

Wow, that was really cool and actually productive; we managed to finish everything on time!(and I'm too tired to list the fun stuff) And it's all thanks to Gica, Carlo, Joey, Alvina, and James who helped get everybody together and Pao for being the only, um, coach we could get. Thanks to the realy big adj panel of 7. :P

We're planning another one around the start of May...msot probably a Saturday again. Just so you know. :)

More random stuff...My list of things to get in the near future:
1. Rent OST/VCD/Piano Sheets (I'm a fan) Oh yeah, Wicked Piano Sheets too!
2. V for Vendetta graphic novel (Alyza, I can't read that whole thing in just one day!)
3. I'll go scouting for a good book. I'm really looking for "Searching for the 11th Insight" (sequel to the Celestine Prophesy and the 10th Insight) which doesnt seem to be anywhere.
4. I never really though much about wishlists, thats about it.

Short Random Stuff [Mar. 31st, 2006|05:30 pm]
[Current Location |Wow, new feature...well, I'm always in the living room]
[Current Mood | calm]
[Current Music |Defying Gravity - Wicked OST]

I just realized that this is the birthday of my LJ! Okay...that and I'm really bored.

I was thinking about tomorrow's crosstraining and looking at the ride I will have, I ironically might be a biiiiiiiiiit late...actually I'm just really paranoid. (Just like during IISDC when we had a team breakfast and I couldn't help worrying about how late we were going to be...we kinda were come to think of it)

I love 135 minutes of Rent! [Mar. 29th, 2006|07:49 pm]
[Current Mood | I wanna dance]
[Current Music |I'm Caught between Goodbye and I Love You - The Carpenters]

I watched Rent today with my family. It was really great! I never knew how deep a story could be made out of that idea. It was really well done and it blew me away, especially the music. I wanna get the soundtrack!

Anyways, Lot's of people are posting this so:

Seven things that make me happy
1. FOOD!
2. The adrenaline rush of debate....and winning (Well, winning anything makes me happy anyway)
3. Music/Musicals (like from Rent)and playing the piano (which comforts me for all the things which make me angry)
4. Travelling and trying to learn the local language
5. Thinking to myself alone in my room
6. A wonderful conversation with a friend
7. Spontaneous uncontrollable laughter for no reason whatsover (James and Carlos know this very well...5,4,3,2,1)

Seven things that make me angry
1. Realizing how much of a jerk I was to someone close
2. Thinking to myself alone in a room (when it gets depressing or i realized something bad)
3. Being late....or knowing that you can never get there on time (usually because of traffic)
4. Myself at times
5. Failing or getting low for something in school or any project for that matter
6. Life is really confusing...If only there was a rulebook on life...
7. Regretting what could have been

If you are reading this and you have an LJ, you are tagged! :)

Speaking of debate, to all STC, Ateneo, and Miriam debaters who are reading this entry (you probably know this anyway):

Crosstraining at Ateneo SEC foyer from 8a.m. - 5p.m. on April 1 (this Saturday)

Or in the words of Ceejaye, Soiree...*ahem*

Anyways, please contact either Alvina for STC, Gica most likely for MC, and Carlo and myself for details (and also to confirm if you're going). If you can get any coaches to come, please tell me.

And I beg you, please be ON TIME so we can fit 3 debates in this. Thanks :)

p.s. Thanks Kaye for telling me about rich text format, it makes everything so much easier...wow I never knew this stuff before

A very vivacious, vindictive, vicious, visionary, and verbose [Mar. 15th, 2006|05:52 pm]
[Current Mood | cheerful]
[Current Music |The classical piece V plays when he blows things up.]

I spent the early part of the afternoon learning to drive...in the middle of Makati traffic which can be a rather unnerving thing. That and the fact it takes me 3 seconds to get my car to move forwards after each stop (so many stoplights...hahaha). To all the cars at the back, sorry na...patience is a virtue...hahaha.

Comment on V for Vendetta )

Terrorist or not, you can't deny he's got style.

p.s. Wow, Mr. Falgui sure gets mentioned a lot in my blog. Well, that just proves how much he actually taught us at the end of the year.

p.p.s. What's the music V plays when he blows up stuff? I've heard it a lot of times but never got the name. Either way, it sure is a cool song to play while watching fireworks...

Joining the Enneagram Bandwagon [Mar. 12th, 2006|09:51 pm]
[Current Mood | Unusually annoyed]
[Current Music |Push - Sarah McLachan]

I saw this test a week ago and tried answering it but it obstinately refused to give me an html code even if I gave my personal info and said I have and LJ. I asked James how to do it and followed what he said but...nothing. So after doing the test many times over the week and getting extremely (and unusually) pissed off with the site, I just copied and pasted the answers. There! (why didn't I think of this before)


the Romantic
Test finished!
you chose BY - your Enneagram type is FOUR.

"I am unique"

Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me

Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!

What I Like About Being a Four

my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
my ability to establish warm connections with people
admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
being unique and being seen as unique by others
having aesthetic sensibilities
being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me

What's Hard About Being a Four

experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
feeling guilty when I disappoint people
feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
expecting too much from myself and life
fearing being abandoned
obsessing over resentments
longing for what I don't have

Fours as Children Often

have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original game s
are very sensitive
feel that they don't fit in
believe they are missing something that other people have
attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)

Fours as Parents

help their children become who they really are
support their children's creativity and originality
are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings
are sometimes overly critical or overly protective
are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed

So there it finally is. I read all the statements, including my mom's college psychology notes on the enneagram and I'm somewhere in between 6 and 4... so it's rather accurate.

Then again, the test got me so pissed off I don't feel like updating anymore...perhaps tomorrow.

Goodbye 2A... 3A na! ...Pero summer muna. XD [Mar. 8th, 2006|10:04 pm]
[Current Mood | contemplative]
[Current Music |Crazy for You - MYMP]

Well, 2nd year is over. The exams probably won't come out as nice I would have wanted them to be. The culminating mass was pretty good and the program was really fun (great job Jayvee with the music videos and cool powerpoint Migi). I don't really know what to say.

Honestly, I'm not really sure how I feel right now. I'm not really that sentimental (probably not as much as last year). I never really thought much about the end of school until yesterday night (James' LJ) and the realization just sunk in during the program a few hours ago where we saw all our teachers dancing wildly and Mr. Falgui giving that goodbye speech (with fond memories of our noisiness as a class). I think we all realized how much we took these little daily events (like Mr. Falgui's reflections) for granted and how, no matter how we resented some of them, we would actually miss them. Even then, I didn't feel the whole Goodbye-2A-Thing as much (even as I write this entry).

I'm not even wildly rejoiceful because somehow I got myself into this very pensive and reflective mood - not that there's anything bad with that. It's just if I look at first year, privately, that was my very emotional year. This year, it's one confusing year for me. I learned so much about myself yet so many more questions came from that. This too was the year I wanted to do so much yet realized what little I could do. Alright, so perhaps it's just tonight that I'm like this. Tomorrow morning I'll porbably be jumping for summertime joy (yeah, something in tonight's goodbye program made me so reflective).

Wow, this is actually one of the few times I put down my feelings in this blog. I usually repress them or just write interesting events in a day.

It's about time I actually bid farewell to this year. To Noli, Polynomial Functions, the 7 miles of Emmaus, take home Bio long tests, and all the other difficulties this year. To the Potato Dance, Kanto Boys, the Block Rogue Parliament, spontaneous and nonstop laughter (James, remember drunk on Teasers?), and the funny weird stuff we did in our free time (alright, even during a busy class). To all our group meetings, The Wedding Club, The Breakfast Club, and the very noisy corner of our clasroom. To our teachers even those we secretly resent at times. To the Little Prince Preparations, the latter parts of the Class Night, the Dulaang Panradyo, the Christmas party, and all the stuff I regretfully missed. To my classmates and friends and to all the stories and secrets we shared. It's not so much of a goodbye or a thank you, it's me remembering all of this and writign it down. Well, NOW I'm sentimental. Here's to one heck of a year. Now we can all rest after one hard and sleepless year.

High school (A-2008, debate, Ateneo) sure changed me a lot in so many ways (way too many to mention). I'd be so different back in Southridge. Better or worse? I have no idea.

Life goes on.

Another debate year coming to a close *tear* [Mar. 4th, 2006|05:30 pm]
[Current Mood | content]

Grands was great. We had in in St. Scho in their amphitheater-like Troika Room. I was teamed with Vitto and we lost by 1 point to James and Carlo in the quarterfinals. Oh well. It ended at 4:30 - record for earliest debate ever!

Congrats to Lou for winning Public Speaking Finals. (To quote James: It was between the girl who proposed to Leloy or the guy who allowed Leloy to bang his gavel twice)

Congrats to all the teams who made it to finals and Ateneo A (Mikee and Pao) for winning Grands! what a nice way to end highschool debating. Goodbye and Godspeed to all the seniors.

Oh yeah memorable events...Chuck Norris Jokes! (Even Jen finally admitted they were funny)

And as this year ends, thanks to Vitto, Joey, Edmund, Patch, Mav, and Vince for all being my team mates at one time or another, helping me make arguments, bearing with my pessimism, and being there all the way through. Thanks to everyone in Ateneo Debate especially the seniors. Special mention to Joey, James, Kaye, and Camille for being the people I trust the most, share my problems with, who are there for me all the time, and changed my life in one way or another this year.

Friendlies then a whole new year. Wow. So many memories this year. By the way guys, I took a couple of pictures in Grands so just ask.

Aside from that, two hellweeks are finally over. i can finally get reacquainted with my old friend the bed. Just three days of exams and thats it. Half of my high school life is ending very quickly. I wish I did more. 'Cause there's still a lot more I want to accomlish in these four years.

Ironically, democracy starts falling apart on the 20th anniversary of our democratic triumph [Feb. 27th, 2006|01:20 pm]
[Current Mood | complacent]

Well, it's just sad that some of us who barely slept since Thursday simply find out that school's been cancelled...again. It's also funny that an hour after they declared no classes, the problem in Fort Bonifacio was resolved. Aside from the rest and relief, I really wish that this turmoil didn't happen now, in the middle of hellweek - that means more exams and projects crammed in less days. And despite all of this pressure, why am I still unproductive? Oh well...*does other stuff totally unrelated to school*

I hope that all the conflict here gets resolved...somehow.

I love my country but couldn't they make my country a little easier to love?

On AI, Hellweek, The Wedding Club, and Debate (once again) [Feb. 22nd, 2006|09:02 pm]
[Current Mood | busy]

"Anyway, that was just horrible...Everything we liked about you just evaporated..It was like being in a ghastly hotel..." - Simon Cowell, same as always (I kinda predicted he would compare someone to a hotel singer at least once today). I'm still rooting for Kellie Pickler and Lisa Tucker!

Ack, its another hellweek (followed by apocalypse week then finally armagedon week). There's jsut so much to do and so much to catch up on (why then am I updating my LJ and not working on my Filipino paper?). Thank God summer's only two weeks away.

And a while ago (though the only one who would probably mind this part is Alvina) I got "married" to Martha for her Religion project on matrimony and we are now planning every aspect of our "wedding" from reception to priests to vows and all. Oh yeah, James (yes, it's the return of The Wedding Club), you're the best man and Joey's one of the groom's men.

On a sadder note, I don't think I can go to IDeA Grands this year. I have a very important interview to go to sometime in the afternoon and that would mean I would have to leave after Quarters or Semi's if I make it that far (I already missed the first interviews since they told me the schedule the night before Econtentions). Well, at least there are so many other debates to go to...it's just Grands and I thought I could compete this year.

Anyways, back to lots of work. 10 days to Grands (I'll still support probably), 15 days to summer, and ___ days to Friendlies.

A late Valentine's entry [Feb. 15th, 2006|06:22 pm]

Yet another short update. I don't feel like writing much these days.

It's the first time I actually took much note of Valentine's this year and it was pretty fun for me. I got a rock (which has a really weird and undecipherable sentimental meanings) and peanut MnM's which I'm allergic to...hahaha...Anyways, to most of the Miriam SAD advocates: Single? You are all polygamous remember!

I just realized that vacation is so close. Only a few more hellweeks to go.

Then there's only Grands and Friendlies left. Yay! I have a team with Tami and Chaz...please let it be Asians...

It's rare I share a song but I'm in a sentimental mood this week )

The most tiring, exciting, busy, HAPPY weekend I've had in a long time. [Feb. 5th, 2006|07:52 pm]
[Current Mood | Happy Happy Joy Joy]

Friday Night

Four things can potentially happen that day: AC fair, Poveda Sophnite (that I have nothing to do with), St. Scholastica Sophnite (which doesn't allow boys O_o), and the Woodrose Sophnite (which is FREE. Yes, it has food, party, adn everything and its FREE). And since a couple of friends invited me to go to WR, I deceided to go there. On the way I remembered the one and a half hour traffic leading to Alabang on Friday nights. That's one and a half hours on an express highway (the Skyway) and considering that I live half the distance to Ateneo. So after a long ride, we finally reached Ayala Alabang where we realized that we couldnt enter since we don't know who owns the house with the sophnite. Thankfully my parents pretended we were visiting a family friend there. The party itself was really fun and I met almost all of my Southridge batchmates who really changed a lot in two years. I also met a couple of Woodrose girls, listened to SR and WR bands, won a prize in a Bring Me game, and learned the embarassing way how badly I dance.

Saturday

After a quick rest, I spent the early morning of saturday matterlaoding for Econtentions (I hate and know nothing about economics). Though later found out that I didnt really need any of my matter. Okay, I actually used the WTO matter jsut a bit for one of the debates. And even though we were under-trained, matter-light, and extremely sleepy, Mav, Patch, and I managed to do pretty well and survived that day. Thanks to both of you for thinking up of ideas and bringing us to fifth break. (hough it feels kidna bad to think that some of the debates we won were simply by virtue of being less messy than the opponent)

On a separate note, Quezon City Science debate teams are scary. They enter with SOOO much statistics, figures, and matter that it actually dumbfounds us (and some of them were downright mean and insulting when they adressed our proposals..or perhaps as PM I just took that too personally). Of course we could always rely on logical steps and analysis but our adjes are not really debate adjes, more of economics teachers who might lean more to numbers. Well, thank God we made it through. Quarters here we come!

And one more thing. I missed Southridge's Father's day (as close as you can get to a fair) and a ratehr important interview which I hope they will reschedule for my sake. I hope Saturday's events were worth it.

Then on the way home, I heard all about the Wowowee incident. It's really sad how a big day for a number of these people turned into a really chaotic disaster. Pray for all the victims of that stampede.

Finally, I can end two days of no sleep.

Sunday

It was just a really happy happy day! (And yes, God is very merciful to make everything work out)

Edit
After an indirect request to extend the last entry (followed by another request to shorten it again)... Today was four hours walking all over Glorietta, talking about anything under the sun, trying to dance (as if last Fridays events stopped me), getting away with a lie, and having fun (and nearly spilling Starbucks all over me). That was followed by a rather productive and intersting meeting with the Awit Nasyonalista group.



Of course after all of this, there's still the Awit Nasyonalista project, the "optional" Religion Ressurection Reflection Report (ooh, alliterations!), the English interview, Filipino paper, and the Bio LT...wait, anything else? Thank God for President's Day...No school tomorrow! Still...lots of work to do...
