I'm in the city!

It's 10.30 in the evening and not at home on a weekday. Yes, I'm actually elsewhere other than where I'm supposed to be (up at the boondocks). Frikkin fab!.. or not.

See, I study in Makati right? So it's fun with a capital F. And then my parents told me to go home ahead of them since they'll be heading back late (like around 11 probably? IDK). So as a good daughter, after having a meeting at Glorietta (Starbucks, the place to be) I went to Ayala Ave. where I usually ride the FX home. But then there was this super long line but I tolerated it - FOR AN HOUR. So how's that for being patient, huh? So yes, I was standing there, barely moving a muscle, waiting in line. Hoping that an FX would arrive soon for us. Good thing I texted my dad who was apparently a few blocks away from me (He was in Rada). So he told me to just go to where he is instead so I wouldn't rot in Ayala. Thank God he ha mercy! And now I am here in the office of whoever owns this (my dad has a project for the boss), online. I haven't been on for two days because my brother has been too into it. Oh well, like I can do anything about that? I'm just glad I'm not standing in line, worrying and extremely nervous to get home late and get another good dose of scolding. Which is not my thing.

I think I can breathe well now. I know I'll be home in a few.

Tomorrow is outfit day! :D We're headed to Rockwell.

Oh Joy!

So my mom really did throw away (or hide, whatever) my Gossip Girl DVD. Ugh, thank God for YouTube. Pathetic. I'll continue watching it on YouTube anyway. Not that she can stop me or anything.

Congratulations! You just reached the top of the social climbing ladder. That's to the person who thinks she has everything just because he/she knows somebody popular (i.e rockstar, actor, actress, artist, model, any social figure). They say never forget to look back from where you came from. But whatever happened to this person, I don't know. Sweetie, it doesn't mean that if you're connected to somebody such as the people mentioned above means that you should forget what you were. Like, you never ask me for money for your food. As if! Funny how you forgot about hanging out with your friends. You know, the ones who stuck around when you were busy hunting for the opposite sex and flirting with anything that has legs? When we were so busy lecturing you about things like that (love) aren't forced, what did you do? You still went on with your thing. Ah yes, those times. Now we're just so busy to even notice that you're gone and we're so into our careers, studies and our family, busy not being the prodigal child in the family. We all see that you're the type of person who when gets in a relationship completely forgets about the outside world. Goes with the partner everywhere (literally) and anywhere he/she says so. Honestly, sometimes I think you're after that person's money. Sad.

Anyway, why am I ranting about such thing anyway? Such shallow thing. Hmm, let's see.. Maybe because we've been best friends since last year and now you completely blew me and the others off? You can call this bitterness. And yes, I miss you and our sleepovers. (I think this paragraph is totally giving your identity away) I'm not pathetic as you are though, I don't want to continue a low life. Don't expect me to always be there for you after your lover dumps you, or you dump him. Since you do have this thing about breaking up after a hundred days, right? Don't expect me welcoming you with open arms. So maybe I will, but just remember things will never be the same again.

How pointless could this post get? Oh yes, I completely forgot this is my blog after all. And I am now indulging in a sarcastic laugh. This is a post offered to the bestest friend you could ever imagine. The type who leaves you hanging, that is. I'm not completely saying this is a post of hatred, this is just my outlet for my emotions.

Anyway since I'm watching Gossip Girl, I might as well swoon over Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). I know I know, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) = Hot. But Dan Humphrey's (Penn Badgley) personality is just, way awesome. And his smooth voice? I wish I had a boyfriend with such. And I love Rufus and Lily's "love team" here. It's amazing. Okay, so I'm gonna get back to my Gossip Girl marathon.

Catch you later.

Mothers..

I finally got enrolled and I finally have my schedule with me. Imagine my face when I saw that I had TWO vacant days! And imagine my face when I saw that all my first subjects start at 7 in the morning. Except for my PE of course which the schedule, I chose myself but not the sport (Volleyball. Ugh). See I was supposed to enlist in badminton which is my main sport since summer of sixth grade and finding out that the schedules (I had two choices) were full, I was simply horrified and I didn't know what to take up. Soccer was my main pick. But we don't have soccer during the first semester (CFAD, at least) so I'll take it up next sem. And I will make sure that I enroll early. I don't want to get all the horrifying slots. Ugh.

Supposedly, my classes are on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (my dad laughed at me when he found out!). Basically I have to be out of the house by 5.30 to not be late. I hope it all goes well, though. I've always been late.

I don't want to talk about what happened yesterday. It was horrid.. especially my ID picture. I think I should lose the identification card to have another picture taken. Look, I don't want people behind me checking out how I look like in my ID picture as I swipe my ID while I go inside the building! That's just.. UGH. Anyway, it was a tiring day yesterday. And I'm just glad to get home.

When I did, I immediately watched Gossip Girl since I couldn't stop thinking about it since last Sunday when I bought it. And apparently, my mom arrived from an engagement in San Juan. So she lied down and watched with me. Until Episode 7, at least. You know, the whole sex thing going on between Serena and Dan, and Blair and Chuck? She then, as a mother, couldn't stop lecturing me about how it's not our culture (pre-marital sex) and so on. So right after the episode, I stopped the player and placed the CD on top of the case then mumbled something about not watching it while she's there. And yes, she said something about that too but I didn't catch it since I was already in my room, shutting the door.

This morning though, when I was going to start watching again since she was about to leave and all, I suddenly couldn't find the DVD. Can you guess why? Good enough, she was still outside while I was looking for it so I rushed to her and asked about the CD. She just said she doesn't know anything about it. Pft, who is she mocking anyway? I'm not eight. And I know things! I couldn't find the CD anywhere, I even texted her about it and no response from her. Ugh. I was pissed for a couple of minutes then just settled on watching Devil Beside You that wasn't very interesting but hey, it kept me occupied! In the middle of the Chinovela, Mico called. No, he doesn't usually call me here at home but I guessed that he has nothing to do. So we talked, and he told me that they have a condo in Crame (yes, Camp Crame). And then he suddenly said "Roomies!" and I go "?". When he mentioned this, I already told him about my unattractive schedule (being out of the house by 5.30 in the morning and classes ending at 5/6pm). He actually wants me to live with him and his brother (David) in their parents' condo in Crame. And he said that there was a spare room, which is apparently, his parents'. How could I live there? Jeez. But maybe we'd talk about it some more next time. When our parents are present. Whew, that was kind of off topic but hey, it's a part of the story!

.. And now I'm watching Gossip Girl's eighth episode on YouTube. Tell me how much of a loser I am. At the same time downloading the whole season in Torrent (all thanks to Mico for giving me advice about this whole thing, he even advised me to check out the trash can for the CD because he said that his mom's like that. Throws pirated CDs away. She's into the whole anti-piracy thing). So yes, I'm having fun. Actually.

Ayala tomorrow with Bang (WeeWillDoodle event in Greenbelt) and then Shang with Jepoy. Ah yes, some decent people to hang out with and talk to. Finally.

Quick Post!

I'm enrolling in UST today. Actually and honestly I'm a bit nervous, I have no idea what to expect or what to do for that matter. They said parents weren't allowed inside, I wonder why? But my father's a professor, does that mean he's allowed inside or not? I mean, if he does go in there as a teacher or whatever. You get my point? I'm dead serious when I told you I was nervous. I hope we finish fast though, I don't want to stay in line for more than two hours. See Franz and myself have experienced the whole reservation of slots thing in Benilde where I was supposed to go to school and we waited in line for a long time, I tell you! But we didn't get to enroll. Ah well. I hope Danee (a friend who's going to UST as well) arrives early so we can go in line together or something. And then we'd know the process together. I'm not used of being alone especially in an environment I'm not familiar of (I will be soon, though). Dump me in Glorietta or Shangri-La, I'd know where to go. Do you get the whole point now? And I hope I don't forget anything like when I submitted my requirements (I went there with just one copy of the Certificate of Good Moral and I don't have the bright yellow paper which states that I passed with me!), because I swear, I will freak! But anyway I asked Danee what to bring. One of her batch mates already enrolled and she (the batch mate) told Danee that we would need the long paper and the Certificate of Enrollment. In that case I'm bringing the Admission Slip (the yellow paper we, the USTET-takers, had with us during the exam together with the receipt)
since it's stated there that it would be needed on the enrollment itself.

They said that the enrollment process was tiring. And literally breath-taking. We might need to walk to the main building and back to the CFAD then to the gym. Heck, I'm just extremely thankful that I just have to get my schedule and probably enlist in a PE (I'm choosing soccer, definitely) then pay. Sounds like a piece of cake, I know! But when I get there, I don't know.. I just don't know.

Oh my. Is this a quick post? I swear, it is. I've been typing for just around five minutes. So maybe I'm too focused on ranting about the enrollment and stuff. Wait until the first day. That would be something else.

My heart is pounding inside my chest like there's something in there trying to get out. Yes, I'm very much nervous about the enrollment. Petty thing, petty thing. That's what I keep on thinking about, that's what I'm currently thinking about. And I can't wait to get this over with! Because after this, I'd just have to probably buy my uniform (just the top) and then scout for black pants (dad and I want the ones from Space, in Rustan's and probably look around some more) and shoes (I'm still considering the Crocs, mind you).

Okay enough about this. Dad's taking a bath and I should too. Don't want to delay anything ;)


Wish me luck! Whew.

Just a Pre-School Ritual

Lately I've been incredibly drawn to people.com. For some reason I couldn't put my style together. Meaning summer is just not my thing. I've been ranting and ranting to myself and I thought hey, I have a blog, I'd just rant there since it's nice to use fancy words. So here I am in my white tank top and red skinny jeans (I know I said no pants on the previous entry but I had nothing else to wear. My denim cut-off shorts are for tomorrow). Well, you know my style icons right? The Olsen twins, Keira Knightly, Sienna Miller and Agyness Deyn. But the style is just a bit last season so I should go and look for new style icons for the summer. And then there was Gossip Girl. I know that their outfits are more on the cool sides (tights, boots, coats). But her style in Gossip Girl was very feminine. Ruffles, florals and all that Upper East Sider thing. I just love it. I wish I hadn't been so boyish. I was practically a guy back in high school. Heck, I didn't even comb for crying out loud! So how's that? Oh and I don't know, maybe I just wanted to say this but Blake Lively is my ideal Rosalie Cullen for some reason. Nikki Reed? I just don't know. Anyway, I like Blake Lively a lot not just as Bridgette (right?) in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But as who she is. You know where I'm getting! Anyway I'm going to work on my feminine side. I've been too intouch with my masculinity recently (i.e, by wearing shorts, pants, no dresses, no skirts). Maybe because I don't have skirts, I don't have a lot of dresses either.

I should seriously go shopping. And buy new boots. This sucks, I think I should wait until after I get enrolled in UST.

Well, I miss London anyway. Better shop around next week, my closet is practically giving me a hard time!
