Katuparan ng Isang Pangarap


Matapos naming kumain sa Zhu, (lemon chicken chorba, oyster sauce beef with mushroom chenes, scallop dumpling, yangchow rice at tubig), inilibre kami ni James ng Sundae sa McDo. Sa aming pag-uwi may dumaang E-Trike(E3) na pangarap kong masakyan. Hehe. Sakto, bumaba ang mga sakay nito at tinanong namin kung pwede kami magpahatid sa yellow building. Sabi ni Manong, "Opo". Yey! Matutupad na ang isa sa aking pangarap. Hehe. At wala itong bayad. Tip lang. Narito na ang patunay! :)

UP Centennial Jacket

Dahil sa episode na Blusa ng Maalaala Mo Kaya eh nakapagbasa ako ng kung anu-anong blog entry tungkol dito. Dun ko nakita na napakaraming galit sa mga taga UP. Sinasabi nilang arogante at mayabang ang mga nag-aaral at nagtapos sa Unibersidad. Natatakot na nga akong suotin yung black na UP centennial Jacket ko kasi baka mamya habang naglalakad ako sa bangketa eh biglang may sumapak sa akin. Hehe.

Una, hindi naman lahat ng taga-UP ay mayabang at arogante. Mayroon ding mga hindi mayabang hindi lang sila napapansin kasi nga hindi sila mayabang.

Pangalawa, lahat naman yata ng school ay may angking kayabangan. Kanya-kanyang papuri lang yan. Naalala ko, habang naglalakad ako sa Mall, nabasa ko ito sa isang tshirt "Eh Ano ngayon kung engineering ka? MAPUA ka ba?"(no offense meant po sa mga taga MAPUA) at nagkataon lang din na ung officemate ko eh naka TShirt na "There are only two schools in the Philippines, MAPUA and others." Meron naman akong professor nung college na sinabi sa amin na there are only two universities in the Philippines, UP and Others. May kakilala naman akong sinasabing Number 1 daw ang PUP pagdating sa ECE. Kanya-kanyang buhat lang yan ng bangko.

Pangatlo, dun sa mga galit sa taga-UP dahil sa diskriminasyon, hindi naman namin kasalanan na namimili ung mga kumpanya. Nakakaranas rin naman ang mga taga UP ng diskriminasyon kasi iniisip nung iba na ang mga galing UP ay aktibista.

Meron akong teorya(teorya lang po ito, wala po akong masamang intensyon), ung mga taong galit na galit sa mga arogante at mayabang na taga-UP ay mga taong kung nakapasok sa UP ay mabibilang sa sinasabi niyang arogante at mayabang. Maaaring hindi lang sila nakapasa ng UPCAT o hindi nagkaroon ng chance makapag-UPCAT o makapasok sa unibersidad. Eto naman po ay haka-haka ko lang. Produkto lang ng aking makulit na isipan.

I Passed JLPT!

Woohoo! I passed JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) and I did a great job. Despite the depression that I was feeling and I was unable to sleep the night before I took the exam I was able to get a good score. I'm giving myself a tap on the shoulder for a job well done. Yeah!

He's Just Not That Into You Series of Post #3

Excerpts from the book.

"He’s Just Not That Into You If
He’s Breaking Up with You

Everyone wants to be loved and needed, particularly by the person who just broke up with us. I understand. What could be better than hearing from the man who just told you he didn’t want you in his life anymore, his sad, wistful “I miss you so much” voice on the other end of the phone? It’s validating. It’s exciting. It’s irresistible. But resist you must. If he’s not calling you to tell you he hired a U-Haul to come pick up all your stuff and move it back into his house, then consider yourself a nice, downy little pillow cushioning him from his feelings of loneliness and loss that he’s not fully ready to deal with on his own. Don’t be flattered that he misses you. He should miss you. You’re deeply missable. However, he’s still the same person who just broke up with you. Remember, the only reason he can miss you is because he’s choosing, everyday, not to be with you.


It’s very tempting when you really want to be with someone to settle for much, much less—even a vague, pathetic facsimile of less—than you would have ever imagined. Ladies, please, keep your eye on the prize. Remember always what you set out to get, and please don’t settle for less. If you can’t do it for you, do it for everyone else: These guys are able to exist because there are a lot of women out there who allow them to.

Don’t underestimate the power of sex, even with someone you’ve been doing it with for a very long time. Especially with someone you’ve been doing it with for a very long time. Breaking up means not seeing them again, which also implies not seeing them naked again. It may be tempting to forget this pearl of wisdom, but just remember, it’s still called breakup sex. No one has yet to rename it oh-my-God-the-sex-was-so-good-we-got-back-together-again
-and-lived-happily-ever-after sex.

Deciding to get back together with someone is a complicated and difficult decision. Just remember that the person you are getting back together with is the same person who, not long before, looked you in your beautiful face, took full stock of you and all your qualities, and told you that he was no longer in need of your company. If aliens haven’t recently abducted your beloved and switched his brain for the brain of a guy who’s really into you, please consider the option that the bum maybe just got a little lonely."

Hehe. I don't need to say more. The book says it all.

I Do

     I was watching Four Weddings and A Funeral last night, it is an old chick flick which stars Hugh Grant. It took him a while to finally decide to settle down(but actually called off his wedding because he's in love with someone else). He was waiting for the "thunderbolt" which means the person who will knock you off your feet that you would want to spend the rest of your life with. There's a conversation between him and his friend that says something about finding the "thunderbolt" but what if there's no one for you (because their friend died without finding his thunderbolt). Well, his friend said, unlike him, he is not waiting for that kind of attraction. He's just hoping to meet a nice a girl and hopes she likes him too.
     I'm a hopeless romantic that's why I believe in meeting someone that would sweep me away. The one that I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to believe that there is someone out there for me but if there is none, then I guess I have to deal with it (but I really do wish there is someone. hehe.). I hate being alone. That's my weakness. I get lonely when I'm by myself that's maybe the reason why I have a lot of friends. I've been alone for months and so far, I've been doing okay. I get lonely sometimes, especially when I go home early and found no one at home but my PSP, novels and DVD's are keeping me company. I go out a lot with my friends and it's fun but I must admit, I miss the thought of having someone. Though there are a lot of advantages when you're only responsible to yourself. I've done a lot of things that I can't do when I was in a relationship. So I realized, when I get involved in a relationship again, I'll still have a lot of time for my friends. I'll balance my time. I'll still keep "myself". He has to love me for who I am. I would want us to have a life outside the relationship. Our world should not revolve around each other alone.
     If God will allow, I would want to get married, at the right time and with the right person. I want to walk down the aisle, say my vow to the person that I see myself waking up everymorning beside me. I want to have a family. Have I met the one? I really don't know. Nobody does. Maybe I'm going to meet him soon or someone that I already met. But for now, I want to enjoy the time that I have for myself and live life to the fullest. :)

He Just NOT That Into You Series of Post #2


"If a guy truly likes you, but for personal reasons he needs to take things slow, he will let you know that immediately."


Amen to that. Hehe. Oo nga naman, pwede naman nyang sabihin na aayusin nya lang ang mga bagay bagay at after nun, magpoproceed kayo sa inyong relasyon. Kung baga, chill muna kayo. Iaassure nya sa'yo yun hindi yung sasabihin lang nya na hindi wag tayong magrush ng wala man lang assurance or sasabihan ka nya ng napakacliche na line tulad ng "kung talaga tayo, eh tayo." Siguro nga, kung talagang kayo eh kayo, pero kelangan iassure rin ng guy yung girl at yung girl naman, basta binigyan mo ng assurance, kakapit yun, kung hindi nga sila binibigyan ng assurance, go pa rin sila eh, pano pa kung iassure mo di ba. And given na matiisin talaga mostly sa girls, kung type talaga sya ng guy, sasabihin nya talaga na wait lang ha, aayusin ko lang talaga. Everything will be alright soon. Trust me on this okay. Will you do me a favor and hold on please? O di ba! Bongga!

He Just NOT That Into You Series of Post #1



"A man who’s really into you is going to want you all to himself."

Isa ito sa maraming magagandang statements sa book. Sabi ni Greg, isa sa mga writer, "Men, just like women, want to feel emotionally protected when a relationship starts to become serious.
One way they do that is by laying claim to it. "

Oo nga naman. Kung talagang type ka nung guy, hindi na nya hahayaang makuha ka pa iba. Kaya yung mga lines na "ayoko kasi ng commitment sa ngayon", "okay naman tayo ng ganito di ba", eh isang BOO! Dahil sabi nga, "Love cures the fear of commitment."

Dahil jan, eto ang solemn vow na sinabi sa book: "no more murky, no more gray, no more unidentified, and no more undeclared."
-ibig sabihin, either kayo or hindi. hindi pwede yung walang commitment. kasi love is made up of commitment and passion. Kung ayaw nya ng commitment, baka hindi love un. baka lust lang. hehe. opinyon lang naman yun. so dapat definite. walang it's complicated. haha. pero kung landi landi lang ang trip mo eh di okay. go ka sa it's complicated.
