No Holds Barred

Student No More

2008-07-30T11:15:00.011+08:00

It was quite a long, unfathomable experience. It was those days when I woke up rushing my way to school, looking at my EAF, getting lost in a not-so-huge campus, having my first three-hour lunch break and class, sitting lonely inside a cold library, finishing home works, meeting new friends and learning to find real ones. It was a world full of surprises and great learning—College. Everything went on. I knew at first that I have to make this worth it, and I think I did everything extraordinarily well. I achieved so many. I believed without so much bragging, that I have always been an achiever. It shows. I managed to maintain my grades way above average and I continued striving to be the best. With that I thought I received great credit where it is due. I’m grateful.

I grew up with this life. I’m doing things that I do best, I’ve gone to places where I discovered that there’s much more around me other than my computer. And the greatest thing about it, I grew up with the people whom I love the most. I have my ever supportive parents and relatives, wise mentors, a blessing of an interesting mixture of friends and colleagues, and a best friend to die for. The next thing I knew I woke up again and it was the 5th of July. I can smell victory. It was graduation day, currently the biggest event of my life. It’s the end of college and the beginning of a new life. Words can’t really describe the feeling of being in between both worlds. The past days have been quite a blur. I do not know what waiting for me. I don’t know if I can cope up with the inevitable changes, if I may have the serenity to accept them. All I know is I am a student no more, but my learning doesn’t stop there. It will go on and will live on. Congratulations to me.

My latest works up!

F*cked up day

2006-10-28T23:10:00.000+08:00

Today's another Saturday.

We used to borrow stuff from ml0 for our video class during Saturdays.

Those dynamic duo continues to screw our asses keepin us waiting for hours.

Surprise surprise, we got our equipement!

And guess what, I wasn't able to shoot today.

I ain't got no actors/actresses. Crap.

I'm currently having trouble finding one.

Anyone?

Arrgghhh. I'm such a loser. F*ck this.

Nothing productive today.

I went to school just to sign the pink form for somebody else, I haven't gotten anything. This is bullshit. No offense to the guy. I'm just having this mad fit.

I hate it!

Maelstrom of thoughts.

2006-07-30T23:08:00.000+08:00

Break it down...I'm dead meat.

1. SOLICAD - arrrggh sorry to max/viz guys but I really hate this software. It sucks.

2. ANICART - I still don't know what to do with my supposedly cartoon animation, lots of incomplete drawings...arrgghhh!! Hindi ko alam gagawin ko dito!

3. PUBLISH - Good luck sa subject na to. Wala akong masyadong natutunan! Inggit ako sa class nila robert, ganda ng publish nila...

4. WEBPAGE - Hope I can do better than my midterms, I suck in doing flash sites...crap.

5. SCRIPWRI - 2 weeks of no classes sa subj na to, haayyy... get ready for tight-ass work.

6. CANIM-2 - Ok lang. I can manage.

7. FAMILY BUDGET - I hate money talks. Since both of my parents are away, I have to handle all of these stuff...dagdag cargo pa sa isip ko. Groceries, Meralco, Tubig, Pamalengke, Cable etc...haaay mamatay nako.

8. PRE-ENROLLMENT - Unahan nanaman sa magagndang skeds. Since hindi ako nakaabot sa DL this term, pahirapan nanaman. Well...anu pa ba magagwa ko? Sa bulok na sistema pa ng CSB, haaayyy...Dead meat, really dead meat.

9. SOURCES DEPLETING - Madalang freelance projects ngaun so stuck ako sa weekly allowance ko. Seems like I can't do the things that I usually do for the meantime...

[FART!] Just farted. Not smelly at all. Just gas...plain gas. 19 years of living and still no sign of incoming satisfaction before me. Too young? yeah...guess so. Heck I'm never too young or too old! I don't mind age, really. Sometimes I get sick and tired of this fuckin life. Hell, can't this just be a Neil Gaiman world of fantasy? I want a lot. I crave for a lot. Lots and lots of things--MATERIAL things. God do I feel soooo glad after satisfying myself with them. Yeah, everybody does eh? I don't give a damn if you don't dig.

There's this huge sense of fulfillment that I really really long for each and every damn day of my life! And I do get upset when my go juice for satisfaction doesn't come my way. Crap. Life isn't fair. Damn right it isn't. So should I? Hell I don't know. Whadaya think will happen to me 10 years from now? Where will I be? What will I look like? Will my height increase at least half an inch? The hell do you care? Nobody cares.

The sad part is I can't seem to focus and build myself. Just myself. There are people around me...THINGS around me and I am totally clinging on to them. We are all liable to something! We are not free wheeling and autonomous as we think we are...

Quoting Madison Lee's word's: "Why be an angel when I can play God?" I wonder what it's like playing God?

I can do whatever the hell I want! - Absolute satisfaction guarandamnteed.

Hudson Hornet: Drift King.

Im bored at home...my good friend way back in highschool texted me if I can play ball with them. I got up from bed, packed my shoes and drove to Alabang at an instant. ---The game's good, I got myself all warmed-up already. And we are now all up to go "gala". Town Center's just around the corner so we decided to watch a movie there. Too bad my friends are too scared to watch "The Nun" in the cinemas! Sa dvd nalang daw...arrrgghh those pussies. Maybe they don't want to get caught screaming inside the cinemas that's why. So they decided to watch "Cars" then. I had no choice but to tag in. I also thought this would be a good one.

Okay, Cars time. The movie was all good for me. I loved the 3d work, and the usual humor that these type of films spiced as always. Sure Lighting McQueen's a rounded character...but I didn't like him really. I loved Luigi and Guido as well as their nearly famous "Casa Della Tires" if I remembered that correctly. They're just cute and funny. The movie's quite long, but theres never a dull moment for me even in the credits part. I don't know maybe I'm still really childlike and I never grew up! Haha I still love animated films, and now I appreciate them more because I'm currently learning 3D as part of my course. But really, I'm not good in 3d..haha! Anyways I loved the movie. After the movie we ate at the atc food court and brought our butts out of the place, and that's it. Back to work...(great...just GRRREEEAAATTTT!!) at home. ---bored again.

Son of a Devil!

2006-06-09T18:54:00.000+08:00

Child Labor: Deadly.
The Omen(2006)

The first one I think was just right so no need to remake this one. This newer version's very faithful to the old one. Almost all of the scenes are very much the same with the 1976 version. But I think the kid who played "Damien" this time is much better than he Damien before. Damn, look at his eyes! He's just wicked! Haha...so devious and all, what a son of a devil. I can't say it's a great remake but still a good one but it suffers in comparison to its original. Rating 6/10

Cool!

2006-06-03T20:08:00.000+08:00

Team Magneto: Wicked.

Whew, back in my blog at last. The last installment for X-men's actually good! Everybody's angry, all the mutants are fighting blah blah and blah. I loved it. One more thing, Kitty Pryde(Shadow Cat) is sooo cute. Those deep dark eyes, are so touching! Whoa...Just a tip guys, don't scram out of the movie house when the credits roll! I'm not gonna tell what it is. =p There's a hint that something is still comin up. Maybe this isn't really their "last stand". I dunno, we'll all see soon. Rating 8/10.

Never as good as the book.

2006-05-20T17:11:00.000+08:00

Art gallerys: Freak shows.
Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou in The Da Vinci Code.

Okay for those of you who have read the book, you'll be fine. It's too measured, too publicized and noisy to be cool and lively. For me, the novel's more entertaining and satisfying than the movie. Maybe because I loved solving the puzzles with the characters in the book than the movie itself. Also, the characters in the movie are not so good portraying their roles. I hate to say this but I find Audrey Tautou's aura blank. Tom Hanks looks plain ridiculous with the limp noodle hair to portray the world's renowned symbologist from Harvard. Yes, the issues are intriguing but not that thought-provoking...well maybe because it spoils you too much. Unlike the novel which somehow makes you think.

I have to give it to the cinematography though. As an art lover, I appreciated those locations like The Louvre, Saint Sulpice, The Temple Church, The Roslin Chapel etc. I think the Westminster Abbey in the movie is not the real Westminster Abbey. I've read something about not allowing the movie's production to include the Westminster Abbey's location in their repertoire due to the major religious issues brought by the book.

After seeing this one, I thought "Why would the MTRCB give this one an R-18?" Ito ba? ito ba ang pinagkakaguluhan ng mga obispo at kung sinu-sino man? Just plain fiction, it's just one of those Hollywood thrillers! Nothing more, nothing less. Natawa nalang ako. Well, that's another story. I'll give this one a 6/10 rating. That's it!

Au revoir.

I'm not a John Cena hater but I do think his time's through. Time for the WWE title to change hands. I Hope Triple H gets it this Monday. If not I think he will get it in SummerSlam 2006.(dun kadalasan nagchchange hands ang titles after Wrestlemania) Go Triple H!

I was early in the gym kanina, sweating a great already tpos... biglang umulan! Waa wala akong umbrellang dala, tapos wala rin akong dalang car! Hassle talaga. Flood's starting to rise sa may street na dinadaanan ko. Whew, I have to wait for like an hour pa para tumila yung ulan tsaka mawala yung baha. Lalung lumala yung sipon ko!

Sana sa upcoming bora trip mawala na ang bagyo bagyong yan. Para di ma-cancel mga flights namin...pray, pray and pray harder...haaayyy.

Impossible.

Flat tires: A pain in the ass.

All those mission plans were preposterous! Yeah. It's all about the gadgets, the cars, the explosions, the clever role switching blah blah. Ethan Hunt has done it again. Definitely a must-see for all you action fans. Rating:7/10

No Harry Mason...But still good!

2006-04-26T21:19:00.000+08:00

Comfort Rooms: Bloody Sticky
Radha Mitchell in "Silent Hill"

A video game based film named with the same title. Only that the main character in the game was a male portrayal, Harry Mason. Actually I was expecting him to be in this one. I played the video game way way back when I was in grade 6 if I'm not mistaken and yes, with Playstation. The game itself was scary and frustrating while I was still paying it. And I have a walk-through with me by my side to make sure I make my every move safe...I'm such a chicken! =)

The movie was excellent. As I watch it, it kinda brings me back to some of the streets, buildings, the aura of the "hill" itself just like in the game. They did a good job maintaining the feel and the looks of the setting. Even the small "imps", the Midwich Elementary School, Hotel, Hospital...totally wicked! As for the character changes they have made, I think they worked well. The acting was great, although not all scenes were really scary for me.

Another thing, the movie runs for about 2 hours and five mins. Yeah I kinda checked my watch inside the movie house and said, wow ang tagal ata nito. Maybe that's one of its downsides, some scenes are just plainly out of control. Like...hmmm I think the character playing Rose's husband (Sean Bean), is somehow saddled with a subplot that could be removed from the film and nobody would even notice. Anyway, I think the movie's great for both gamers and non-gamers alike. Still another one to "scream" about. My rating: 6/10(big fan of the game kasi)

Scrat stars as himself once again in Ice Age 2:The Meltdown

I'm not supposed to see this one on the big screen until my prof in 3d class encouraged us to watch it, and pass a reaction paper about the 3d graphics for extra grades. I loved the "Fire King" part where Sid was worshipped by over hundreds or thousands of sloths then only ending up throwing him on a raging volcano. I also loved the new characters, that of Crash and Eddie. I liked their "Robert De Niro gesture"(taunting their fists in their possum chests and pointing those two fingers to Manny). Of course there's Scrat and his hard to reach acorn! He's totally hilarious! And believe it or not, he's the one who saved those animals including the main characters from extinction due to ice meltdown! The story is basically about survival and meeting new friends along the way. The language however is not intended for a GP audience. There are words like. crap, stupid, idiot...stuff like those. If you need some good laughin, this one's just right for you! I'll rate this one 7/10. =)

Farewell my dear uncle...

2006-04-17T13:35:00.000+08:00

Sad sad easter...My uncle Dante passed away 10:45 am in the hospital...Hindi na namin siya naabutan kasi we were hearing mass by that time...As soon as we received the news about his passing, we rushed to the hospital agad. We bid our farewells around his bed, said our prayers and each of us sprinkled Holy Water on his body while praying...I held his head, his hair seems so smooth and alive. Parang natutulog lang siya. He's the first casualty sa magkakapatid from my mother's side. 14 silang lahat...My mom's the bunso and Uncle Dante's the second. Haayyy nakakalungkot... =(

Pinned down.

2006-04-13T01:18:00.000+08:00

After coming up short in reaching the Dean's List again this term, I've been thinking what to do to get this hatred, frustration, disappointment out of me after all that's happened. All those hardworks, sleepless nights, stress, body aches...arrggghhh. I need to go to bora. I need to unwind again just like last year. Shit, I didn't join the SOS(Summer of Service) this year. And I don't have enough money yet to go there again...grrr. I really hate how this day turned out to be. My pride, my ego was pedigreed and pinned down one, two, three. Never got the chance to kick out or put a shoulder up. I missed this opportunity, and there's no chance in hell waiting for me...it's done. It's over I'm all fucked-up. =(

Ahhh Sophia Myles...

2006-04-13T00:38:00.000+08:00

James Franco and Sophia Myles stars in "Tristan and Isolde"

One of the best movies I've seen for a while...Well I've been a big fan of these chivalry, anglo-saxon peroids. Although I'm not into love stories, I think the story is great! I can see James Franco added some muscle in his frame compared to Spiderman and The Great Raid and that's a good thing--it justified his look as the English knight Tristan for me. As for Isolde, hmmm..Sophia Myles is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen on screen. She also played the vampire Erika in both Underworld sequels. But she's definitely no vampire here. I hate comparing her to a local celebrity but she looks like a more improved and the best version of Bea Alonzo. She is just gorgeous! The movie was great because of the interesting mix of characters, the cinematography, and of course...Isolde!! haha! I'll rate this 8/10! =p

These psychotic mutants!

2006-04-11T10:11:00.000+08:00

pillow fights: Bloody-disgusting.
Emilie de Ravin stars in the remake of "The Hills Have Eyes"

Okay, the movie is graphically violent. It was gruesome and disturbing but not as disturbing as "Hostel". The said "rape" scene was actually bothering... Although I don't see it as an actual rape scene, hmmm there was a lot of groping by that mutant spook but no sex at all. Yes, that scene really was disturbing most especially for the ladies. Arrghh. As i have said it is extremely graphic, there was this scene when this "lizard"(that's his name) guy ate one of those cute love birds ripped of its head first using his mouth then sucking all the blood from its body. Kawawa nman. And for the record, this R-18 rated movie has no nudity at all unlike "Hostel". Just plain violence and bloody, hellacious encounters with these mutant freaks. I loved the part when the character Doug hunted each of those freaks and kills them with his newly-found axe. With his encounter with the lizard guy, the part when he already got his baby seems so predictable. Haha! He's so damn stupid to leave that shotgun beside the rotten carcasses of lizard. Good thing the little girl saved his life.

In comparison", I liked Hostel better. Tarantino gave the viewers this feeling of "YAN BUTI NGA SAYO" Although I also felt that with this one, but not as good as Hostel. Well to top it, it's a great horror movie, a fantastic remake and certainly a crackin'- good watch. I'll rate this 7/10 =)

Almost done...

2006-04-06T23:18:00.000+08:00

Hell week is almost over. One more deadline to meet which is going to be on April 10, 2006. ILUSTRA class is soooo tiring for me. I need to pass over a hundred and twenty drawings na halos paulit ulit lang ung laman. whew... Maybe i've been used to more computer works na kasi. Naninibago lang.

My web defense went all well this afternoon... It turned out good. I accepted some criticisms open-mindedly. Sempre napuna yung mga mali sa site ko. Like some rollovers, images are missing. I did the site na super rush, as in i haven't slept that much for like 2 days. Well meron naman pero mga three hours max lang. I feel so exhausted I can't workout anymore after school. Also I can't enjoy my food kasi kahit sa food limited ang oras ko. Ang daming time na masasayang. I kept on thinking of freakin concepts, deadlines here and there, review for a written exam in PHILIEN... Haaayyy nakakapagod. I'm not really expecting to be in the dean's list again this term...Sobrang dami kasi ng work. I can't really put all my best efforts in every subject. Minsan may nasasacrifice talaga. Well I'm still not losing hope... I just hope that I finish my final task complete, and super clean (I'm a big fan of dirty sketches/drawings by hand). My best of luck.

Here's the sports website I made and defended earlier... http://hightime.spectralkeeper.com

"Out of Reach"--the get up kids

long way from home,
lost by an echo, i'd never have known
i've got pictures to prove i was there,
but you don't care

here's me overseas, across a pond by the dover peaks
i've smuggled myself into new nationalities, you think you'd be proud of me
there's room to believe, out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
start over is no way to begin

Over hundreds of thousands of "Fawkes" masks distributed. Why didn't I get one? Crap.

2006-03-18T23:43:00.000+08:00

I loved the mask. Really.
source:vforvendetta.com

Check out those Guy Fawkes mask! I want one for myself! This movie gave me a picture of what may happen(hope not) to the present Philippine government. I hope this political turmoil will not end up with exploding Metro Manila landmarks of some sort. This movie tackles a lot of political issues that also reflects the situation in the Philippines before and up to this very time.

The movie is about the story of Evey Hammond(Portman) who is rescued by a masked character only known as "V"(Weaving). V urges the people to rise up and revolt against the fascist government of Chancellor Sutler in Britain. Now both Evey and V stand to fight for the freedom and justice that they longed for a long time.

Although there are very obvious differences from the graphic novel by Allan Moore(author of From Hell, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), this film is still a crackin' good watch. Its gotta be the mask! Yes, that mask! The Fawkes Mask!! I want it!! =p Rate:9/10

Quentin Tarantino has done it again...

2006-03-18T22:55:00.000+08:00

softballs: not chewy at all.
source:www.bloody-disgusting.com

In the course of seeing this one, the two girls na nasa likod ng seat ko bglang umalis. Man, imagine all that gore...I used to enjoy this type of films pero ito haha, natulala nalang ako. The movie is about three guys searching for earthly pleasures in Amsterdam, where they learn of a Hostel somewhere in Slovakia with beautiful women willing to do the deed for a low price. Ahh yes, they are in heaven---or so they thought. Soon Pax(Jay Hernandez) and his friend Josh discovers the unimaginable--that unfortunately there is more to the Hostel that meets the eye.

The movie's packed with sex and violence, portrayal of nationalities, and of course shock and gore. The protagonist Jay Hernandez was good though. The elements in the film's cinematography can be quite symbolic in terms of say, political content like showing the typical "anti-American" bandwagon w/c has emerged after 9/11(wikipedia.org). This movie I think scores 7/10. You guys judge.

Swamped--

Another project in DIGILUS almost done. Okay naman ung presentation. I just need to make some refinements lang daw sa lineart. Yep, medyo hrap ako sa rendering ng linearts lalu na pag photoreal kelangan. Mas type ko ung flats e. I dunno maybe it's just not my thing. =) okay nga yun e at least si miss Nadya, she's really looking for more improvement. Hangga't may mapipiga pa sa gawa mo dpat piga mo na. Hahahaha...

Hayy daming work...kapagod na. Pero at least natututo naman ako ng madami. I really need to improve on some of my skills sa multimedia programs. If I am to evaluate myself, sa tingin ko kulang pa nga...

I'm facing another hell's load of work---ofmulti homeworks(web) and 3D modelings both from AutoCad and Maya. I'm really having a hard time modeling 3ds in AutoCad...compared to the flexibility of the Maya software---it's way more powerful. And I beg to disagree with my CAD prof's view of Maya. Parang he keeps on reiterating something like, "AutoCad should also be used in 3d cause its dwelling more on accuracy." Arrghhmmm...I mean what are the measurements, coordinates, channel boxes in Maya for? Can't that be accurate enough? Arrrghh this is just added stress... I wish that after this term I may still end up in the Dean's list. So help me God. =|

Heath Ledger & Sienna Miller in "Cassanova"
source: http://movies.go.com

Heath Ledger's baritone livens up the screen once again. It's like he's doing "A Knight's Tale" only that he's in Venice. The rest of the cast are also good. Oliver Platt(Paprizzio) has done it again he's funny talaga. And for the record, it's really my first time seeing Jeremy Irons(Bishop Pucci) carry a certain role that way---I've always seen him in action, suspense, drama films but this one's kinda different. Natawa lang talaga ako sa kanya sa movie. This movie also showed the power of Catholic Church that time, and what may happen if it's a Pope's birthday!! I Don't wanna spoil it. Anyways Cassanova's suppose to be about a guy who can't keep it in his pants.--- I'm gonna rate this 9/10 mababaw lang kaligayahan ko sa pagtawa! ahahaha! =p

2006-03-10T20:26:00.000+08:00

Did you get scared standing alone in the crowd?
Did you give up when i was nowhere to be found?
Did you get tired of being left all alone?
Do you feel better now that you're on your own?
There's nothing without you.
the days once had are through.
I'm lost, broken, confused
But i won't give up on you ...

Tonight all i see is your face now on everyone else.
And now i know how scared you were all by yourself.
When the phone rings do you ever hope that it's me?
Do you ever dream of a day when we will still be?
There's nothing without you.
The days once had are through.
I'm lost, broken, confused
But i won't give up on you ...
Tonight i'll lie here all alone
Wondering what our future holds.
And if my life should fall apart would you still care?
would you still care?
there's nothing without you.
the days once had are through.
i'm lost, broken, confused (lost, broken, confused) but ...
i won't give up on you (won't give up on you)
tonight.

Yep! I you've seen the first two sequels, you'll probably draw this part 3's "death cycle". I've talked about this trilogy since my first blog kaya lang wala na yun. grrrr... And for the first two parts I have my own favorite "dying moments" which the actors portrayed. I have to say this again, in part 1 the lady who" got caught" by bus. In part 2, the lady in the elevator( they still tried to push her up pero of course it didn't work ). For the latest one, The guy inside the weight room--with two 50-100lb of weight plate crushing his big head. Hmmm for the record I liked Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Para siyang si Vanessa Carlton na mas pinaganda. =) Rate: 6/10 medyo bitin ako dito.

Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain...

Our PHILIEN prof suggested that we see it. The movie was well...ahemm...good. Nice to see something different. Yes, I have seen women kiss, make out, or even make love to each other and for me it's parang normal nalang. =p But this one's different in my own opinion: man to man, ranch boy to rodeo cowboy affection and uhmm let's just say "action". Maybe this is what they mean by love itself being a strong force of nature. Great movie though. I'm gonna be rating this one 8 out of 10 due to some dragging scenes. =)

Tired...

2006-03-06T22:09:00.000+08:00

Slept 12:00am kanina, woke up at 7am. Enough sleep na ata, the longest I had since...hmmm tgal na. Pero pag gising ko para akong nahihilo na ewan. Sakit ng ulo ko. Well the usual routine: breakfast, kung may time workout, rush homeworks, ahahahahaha!! at umalis ng bahay! I arrived at school 11:25, 5 mins before my first class. Habang nag didiscuss si sir Benjie I began dozing off, antok na antok ako ewan ko kung bakit. And to think we are watching a bunch of cartoons(powerpuff,dexter,tarzan,iron giant)---kelangan kasi para daw makakuha kami ng ideas sa walk cycle animations for our characters. After ILUSTRA it's that 3d class again. Grrrr I forgot my sweater e ang lamig sa ml4!! pero ok naman ung na model ko ngayon, 3 mukhang di ko maintindihan kung ano. That's it, end of my classes. Pag sakay ko ng bus antok na antok parin ako, nakatulog ako pero good thing di na ako lumampas di tulad ng dati halus pag nakatulog nako, lagpas ako nakakaabot nko ng SM southmall. hehe srrrrraaapppp matulog!!! =p

The making of a Geisha...

Gong Li stars as Hatsumomo--Memoirs of a Geisha

Yep, I have seen it. Arthur Golden's masterpiece in motion picture. I have to admit it, I loved the book better than the movie. I didn't really feel the devastated life of Sayuri/Chiyo (Ziyi Zhang) both as a nine-year old kid and as a geisha forced to be driven away from whatever she desires. On the other hand, the movie's cinematography was phenomenal. All those tatami mats, the cherry blossoms, the "tipsy" house, the Shirakawa stream banks( although it was not mentioned in the movie I think), the road to Hakone, etc. was magnificently captured. To add the bonus, man...Gong Li's the bomb!! Ang hot niya sa movie sobra. I believe she's already 40+ something pero she looks she's in her early 30's palang. Absolutely gorgeous!--really fit for Hatsumomo's role. And of course Zhang Ziyi's face was soooo angelic and that little girl who played young Chiyo, Suzuka Ogho was cute din. Just wondering though, there are more Chinese than that of Japanese actors who portrayed the characters in the book. I can rate this movie 8 out of 10. =)

The power is back!!

Project rejected

2006-01-31T23:45:00.000+08:00

How can I be so stupid not to remember the most important concept in our Digilus class?! That 13th floor and the sisters of illusion thing. My efforts, wasted and I have to start all over again. Back to zero. Masyado lang ata naging mataas expectation ni miss samin kaya sumama loob niya. Guess I have to learn from that. Crap...

Registrar scare

2006-01-31T10:14:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, while in animation class. That guy from the registrar's office came knocking on the classroom door. Sir Benjie excused himself to know what the guy's deal is. He handed sir Benjie an envelope with a white long sheet of paper and a pen. Then sir Benjie said, "Who's John Paul Samonte?" I'm not sure if I would like to get my butt off the chair, I thought I have done something wrong. A major offense? Did my check just bounced? Maybe it's about that damaged book I haven't payed yet in the library, or worse. I stood up, checked the paper and sir Benjie said, "Pirmahan mo daw." It was a long list of my stay in school, the subjects I have taken, and I think my grades, these past terms. Still not sure to affix my signature, I excused myself from class and asked the registrar guy outside. "Kuya anu to?" He said, "pirmahan mo, Dean's List yan." I let out a smirk, and checked under the white paper. Clearly, it was the envelope for the Dean's list certificate. I signed the long paper and the guy handed me the envelope like I just received a cellphone bill. My classmates also stared wondering why this guy's letting me sign in a rush. And when I told them what it really is, they all laughed, even sir Benjie. One of them said, "Aba sosyal, dinedeliver na pala certificates ngayon..." Whew, talk about major offenses! At least I will not be having trouble getting it in the help desk just like I always do. =p

It's crazy. I'm going goo goo with schoolwork...Midterms
seems far away but I'm already swamped with stuff.
Something...rather somebody, keeps me going. I'm like
a vampire feeding on blood once again after a very long time.
My views became optimistic, my spirit was buffed, I feel like
I'm recharging myself once more. Oh do I feel good!

Love Alone

2006-01-29T23:44:00.000+08:00

No one would love me
if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line

And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea

Give me your hand to hold
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low

The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof

And the pain of the world is a burden
And it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
