SCENE ONE

I was about to get off the cab at Arlington to pay respect to my friend's dad, when sudennly, the moment I opened the cab door, a motorcycle bumped on it, the impact resulted to a projectile motion.

Slowly...

About three meters, the moto-driver fell, then his motorcycle.

*Adrenaline Rush*

I got off the cab, tried to pull the man up, tapped his shoulder asking if he's okay, then brought his motorcyle up for him to ride on it again.

Though he hasn't spoken a word, I'm sure, he was not harmed. Thank God he wasn't. And thanks too for a sturdy helmet and a thick cotton jacket. He wasn't harmed.

And that's the most shocking moment in my life. Until now, I have this feeling that some police might arrest me. Well, I've got reasons to tell, but before I say it, I must cry out "blame the Taxi driver!".

---

post script:
The seemingly bobo driver took me to a reaaallly long cut. I told him we must take Magsaysay road, he went E.Rodriguez. When we reached the place, he parked a meter away from the safe zone, then poof! (repeat scene 1)

MY SUNDAY SEAFOOD NIGHT

I feel effing dizzy because of the flash reports and stuff causing my The Buzz to be interrupted once in a while. In the middle of Ruffa's interview, Boy Abunda gives way to the seemingly brainmelting news. For one, I heart my sister Ruffa, and like hey! here comes the bad news, again. Pucha! When will they ever stop?
--
Last night I got the Malate Revival. I was with my ever reliable confidante Nadine. We raided Nakpil and danced our hearts out at Giligan's after having a coupl'a smlight's and inihaw na baboy with jalapeños. I bumped at an old bisexual friend Ryan early that night, then at about two in the morning, I saw my friend bi orgmate, Maxi. Hehehe. Grabe, I've missed the whole scene. Foreigners wearing mistakenly wearing 'pekpek' shorts (eh wala naman silang pekpek, nagmumura tuloy yung mga etits nila! hehehe) Steroids-healthy guys just in racerbacks, feign feeling fabulous faggots everywhere, bouncers in black, cute guys with boyfies, girls throwing up at the corner near the lamp post. Oh! Malate.
--
Last Friday, I, Pierre, Aisce and Nori saw Final Destination 3. The movie was hell screamaroo. I should have watched Brokeback Mountain alone nalang instead of that. But in all fairness, the movie was good, I just don't find enjoyment in morbid scenes. The afro guy's head being smashed by a gym equipment, or these two miss popular obscene girls being roasted inside a tanning bed. Come on! Who enjoys that?
--
I'm gonna have a date with Robby, yeah, Mr. Commerce. And will our family ever be complete without Ms. Commerce? Haha, Diane's coming too! We were supposed to have it Friday afternoon, but the sudden suspension of classes made Robby postpone it. Wednesday is the day, I'm effing excited!
--
Big Brother Jedje's at home. Awhileback, I called him up and then felt really nostalgic. They were all there. Maingay sa kusina, yung mga nieces ko naririnig ko. Mom and Dad were there too.Awww... I Love You guys, more than you ever know...
--
I'm ultra nervous for the finals. I super have low low low grades in my subject. I hope everything would fall on the right place.
--
GOD, help. I love you.

SA KANTO...

Everytime I pass by the corner of my apartment's street, I never fail to see the pedicab driver's family doing their 'household' work. The curly mom would cook dinner via the limited resources, the dad would work on the 'ride' and earn some cash while chatting with his 'co-workers', his two sons would take a bath using the 'free water' running through the sidewalk, and then the whole family sleeps on a one-inch plywood next to the PLDT power control. That's what life is, for them.

Let's use some Filipino language here.

--

Kanina, yung kaklase kong si Jayce eh humahagulgol dahil tinawagan siya ng kanyang Mommy at ibinalita na sumakabilambuhay na nga ang kanyang Daddy (May he rest in peace). Pagkatapos ng pakikipaglaro ko ng PANTS at pakikipagdaldalan kay Friendship Jello tungkol sa mga nakakainis na bagay, nagulat ang buong klase habang nakikipaglaban kami sa nakakabagot na paksang Statistics nang narinig namin ang umiiyak na si Jaycee Ann. Buhay na ang pinag-uusapan dito, kaya sa aking pagkagulantang, naisip kong mahalaga talaga ang buhay.

--

Nung isang araw, nang nagdecide akong magbantay ng boto sa nakaraan halalan ng aking kolehiyo, eh tinawagan ako ng aking Ate na nasa apartment ko lang noong mga oras na yun. Ibinalita niyang naaksidente daw ang aking Mama. Pinapauwi niya ako nung una dahil ayaw niyang sabihin sakin dun mismo, gusto niya, nasa bahay daw ako. Ako naman, sinabi kong sabihin na niya dahil hindi talaga ako palalabasin ng mga tiga COMELEC. AT sinabi na nga niya, pagkatapos ng limang minuto, umuwi din ako. Tinawagan ko ang aking Mama at kahit kaunti, naibsan ang aking pag-aalala dahil sabi niya okay naman daw siya and at least, buhay. Natwa pa siya dahil umiiyak ako't sinabi kong uuwi nalang ako't sa probinsya mag-aaral. "Ipagda-drive nalang kita, Ma" dagdag kopa. Pagkatapos kong nag I Love You eh sumakay akong Taxi pauwi ng apartment. Gusto kong patayin yun lasing na PLDT driver na bumangga sa sinakyan ni Mama, pero wala akong magawa. Ang Maynila ay twelve hours away from Tuguegarao, hindi ko mahagilap si Darna para hiramin ang bato, pati si Harry Potter pa i-wingardian leviosuh nalang sana niya ako ay wala rin. So nagdasal at natulog nalang ako. Love na Love ko ang Mama ko, pati ang buong family ko. Mamamatay muna ako bago sila.

Siya nga pala, 3-5 ang resulta ng bilangan. Panalo ang mga kapartido kong sina Apol, Jayson and Leeboy. Tangfamily ni JC Yu, he doesn't deserve to be in that position. Kung may kilala akong masamang taong nagpapanggap na relihiyoso, siya yun. Kahit na masakit isipin na nanalo pa ang mga mandaraya, eh ganun talaga ang buhay. Makakarma rin sila.

--

Sabado night nagsama-sama kami nila Nori Seksi, Pierre Susan at Madame Ai. Tinreat kami ng Muma Pierre sa Don Henrico's Malate and dumeretso kami sa Victory Party ng LAKASDIWA Acctg. Crush ko si Carlo Dazo dahil ang cute cute niya. Ü Ang kulit din ni Ate Kate. basta, ang saya nun kahit hindi ako masyadong nakipag-interact. :)

--

Nanood ako ng Close to you kanina. And Sam Milby is effing gorgeous! Alam kong matagal kona siyang pinagnanasahan pero promise ibang level na'to. Mahal kona siya. Hahaha. Sana pag nagka-bf na ako, amoy Clinique Happy, may 4-pack abs, magaling kumanta, maganta kutis and mabait and romantic and maha ako... haaaay... hahaha...

--

Naka-97 ako sa Lit Quiz. Maraming Salamat kay Nina Lacson na katabi ko (actually kaharap ko pag face the window and systema) na kinunsinti ang pagpapakopya sa mga needy classmates tulad ko.. hahaha..

--

Kinakabahan na ako sa mga puwedeng mangyari pero excited parin ako sa mga napipntong chapters of my life. Sana lahat vavavoom at kayanin ko. Dahil si God, babantayan ako, ikaw, at tayong lahat.

--

Tulad ng buhay ng mga nasa kanto ng Extremadura at Earnshaw, sisikapin kong maging fruitful ang bawat segundo ng aking life.

--

Dang SALAKOT. Pag hindi niyo kayang pagsilbihan ng maayos, malinis at nararapat ang Commerce Studentry, Humanda kayo, Sisiguraduhin kong may isang hindi ga-graduate sainyo.

CHEVER!

At last, everything's done. Albeit it has to be gracefully finished with really emotionally and physically-stressing experiences, my final Organization Project's success is worth every tear, every bead of sweat, every silent moement of prayer and every bit of dreams and visions I had. It is indeed, very fulfilling.

For one week, I had to get the formal papers done, revise and get approved. Like this is my final one, so I have to make it my best. I have sacrificed a lot, which I first thought would end up being trashy for a really pessimistic fab like me. Credits to my Assistants Rendahl and Keziah who I worked hand-in-hand to sustain the vital needs for this project to be put into concreteness. As far as I know, I have done everything so as for this project to be a recognized, legal and no-frills activity, but to my surprise, evrything had to turn out into a complete berserk.

For one, my Project proposal couldn't be located in the Office for Student Affairs. This incident happened two days before the event. I went dreadful about what might happen so I had to step on it and go to OSA to see what I must do. Next moment I just found myself digging into a pool of papers and after a few minutes, Voila! Inside the "Approved (OSA'S COPY)" Folder, I found my Proposal. The mysterious thing here is, who got my Approved Copy?...

Complacent that my project's good to run, We (me and my assitants) fetched the people of B&G to order them to set-up the equipment we've requested. A minute after, I didn't know that we should be requesting for power supply at the Office for Finance. Pakshit I just learned that we will be needing it two hours before my event. SO I had to run from the Colayco Park to the Dean's Office, I though Ma'am Dean would be there, but nah-uh, She's at the Medicine Auditorium. I flew from there to the Audi. I didn't know how my convincing powers work that much but it is undeniably effective. I got them signatures (Mr. Nuevo and Dean Loanzon) in a matter of five minutes. After getting the 'golden' signatures, where do I go? I ran off to Colayco, had my assitants to the P.R. work and like moi, they had it processed within an hour. SO, I got my Power-breaker 80 amp and the Power Supply even though I had a little mistake of mistyping the name of the Secretary general instead of the Vice Rector for Finance.

I thought that would be my last. But hell no. The backdrops weren't fixed, the stage wasn't done, the equpment still unloaded and unplugged, and the next thing I knew, everything went into a complete odyssey. Adrenaline rush came. I had to carry panelboards (which up to this moment, I still couldn't believe), tuck in the fabric for the backdrop, unrolled my tarpauline, unstacked, carried and fixed the monoblock's, set-up the widescreen, fixed the food for the participants, and many many many more. I didn't expect this to happen. No officers to help me enarby, just plain students who just had the trans of a good samaritan. But hey, I survived.

WIth my personal choices of emcees starting the show, I was called by the Secretary of the Library Prefect. Oh no, what else?! I climbed up the Administrative Office where I saw this gray-haired spanish man with the dissappointed look. I didn't know the things taking place, all I can remember now is that he was like reading my death sentence and I was crying buckets of tears. How I managed to get over it? Ahhhh... It's something only I know.

My Show continues...

For over a day of really disappointing and completing an obligation, I found myself clapping and crying out cheers. Especially when my hosts called out "And of course, to our Project Head, Myrrh Lao To, boss..." I saw Dean and Fr. Regent and the audience clapping and cheering too. Ahhh.. It felt good. It feels good.

God knows how I worked for this project to be made successful. The things that took place, either anomalous or endearing will be treasured by me for the rest of my life.

"Chever!: the Pre-Com Variety Show, indeed infused in me the power.

-Shobe didn't win Prom Queen, but she got nominated. I'm still proud of her.
-Kate and I (again) hosted the Parade of Hearts the next day.
-LAKASDIWA campaign not that fab, but later Pierre, Aisce,Pei and I had much fun over a cup of caramel coffee jelly and Somethin' Fishy Smorgasbord.

I crush him.

Yes, he is straight. He likes girls, oh he loves girls pala. His voice makes me wanna pee on my boxers [eeek myrrh]. His smile either leaves me frozen or melts be to the bones. He's Mr. Music. He's the son of the Philippine Music Icon Dulce. And man, oh! I will definitely look for a partner who's akin to him. Oh! I almost forgot, his name's David. Ü

And I'm pretty sure, oh no, I'm really sure that it ain't only me who's crushin' him. Actually, I think I'm the 53rd. hehehe.

I wasn't here to welcome them because I was in Baguio for the Leadership Training Seminar - Cold, fine, cozy, fun place where I slept seeing nothing but fog outside the waking up with an awesome view to greet you. Arrghh.. The LTS was supposed to be perfect if only some things did not happen or should haven't happened.

By the time I got here, Shobita and I shopped for materials for her prom gown. Masquerade ala Catherine Zeta-Jones. Purple, Black, Peacock feathers and Big gems... beautiful. From the petticoat to the bias tape to the cozy peaciock feathers.

Tried, Summoned Courage and Succeeded in my devirginizing experience with Ebay Philippines. I got myself brown havaianas (41-42). The one I've been looking for at every Rustan's / Chocolate for two months, which when they have no size for me, they just don't have it, has finally landed on my hands. (Actually, my feet landed on them! nyahaha)
