This one's a video of my friend's brother. They're from the acclaimed powerdance group. :)

it's just the end of a horrid day, not the end of life.

The past two days have been really tough for me. Pressure keeps on mounting. Stress level quickly rising. Frustration multiplying. (o, rhyming ah! :P)

For the longest time, I've convinced myself to always be positive no matter what, to see the glass as always half full, to believe that somewhere out there, someone's in a more hapless state and I am more fortunate. Optimism at it's fullest. It made me feel good, made me think there's more to life, made me believe that I can be stress free. It never failed. never ever.

But then, human as I am, I realized, I cannot not feel that I am fragile. Sometimes I cant help but give in, break down, think twice. There will always be a time when only a single choice is left - to stop, stop playing justice league-ish, stop not feeling the pain of the worst in life, stop believing that getting through anything unscathed is possible.

Right now, I seek to STOP. Stop, for a moment.

It's not like I'm super giving up. It's just that sometimes the world gets bigger and me, smaller, and smaller, and smaller. Negatives outweigh the positives. Failures defeat success. It's just tough you know, like college algebra tough. You poured your heart out, laid everything on the line, still, end up falling short. Just frustrating. Tiring.

I think I'll dwell in this state for quite some time. It's a must. But not too long I hope. I'll to try to convince myself to feel otherwise though. Slowly, I'll pick up from where I slipped and I'll get up, even stronger and less vulnerable. I will. I know I will.

As I've previously stated, it's just the end of a horrid day, not the end of life.

Just not, not yet...

letters to juliet quotable quotes

*coping up with all the negative happenings...

I was able to watch Letters to Juliet yesterday as part of Croxy's bday movie marathon celebration. good thing we picked that out of the pile of honestly sold pirated cds somewhere in Makati.

I'm a sucker for romantic happy endings and I must say, this one's something worth watching. really worth watching. As a person who really digs in to the dialogue of movies, I took note of some quotable quotes from the movie. (but i verified it still via google)

Here goes,

" I'm sorry, I didn't know love had an expiration date. "

-Sophie; Amanda Seyfried

"When we're speaking about love, it's never too late"

- Lorenzo,

THIS ONE'S THE BEST,

"Dear Claire, What and If are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet"

-Claire; Vanessa Redgrave

there are a lot more cheesy quotes in the movie but these are the one's that really stood out. well at least for me. :)

9/26

i dont know how to start this, but i have to, somehow...

although not everyone has come to know of the pillbox incident in taft last Sunday, still, that incident, that unfortunate and saddening incident, resulted into wounded bodies, shattered dreams, broken hearts.

supposedly, i was to grace the salubong, but because of my being stubborn and waking up late i decided not to go. Had i gone that day, it would've been highly likely that I be on that same spot where it all happened, standing with my friends, waiting for the day to end. And with that, I could not thank God more.

When I heard of the news, all I could think of were my friends. Please, please be ok. Turned out to be, the negative. Injured, were a good number of them I have known since my first day in lawschool and others I met along the way, nevertheless, friends for keeps. I was so worried, texting everyone I know, gathering information and everything that comes with it. And sad to say, my friends were injured, some were minor and some severe.

I personally condemn this incident. There is definitely no room for such malevolent act. We all strive to achieve the same dream, that elusive ATTY. Instead of bringing and pulling others down, we should all work together and help bring the best out of each of us. After all, we are agents of justice and we ought to act as such.

To my friends, all I could hope for is a fast recovery. May we all live to cope with this challenge God has given us. We are strong, but we can be stronger.

Cla, Arsei, Dia, Bea, Bheng, and Anne - it's so nice to hear that you're unscathed

Ate Cas, Eunice and Sharky - i pray for your quick recovery and just always know that I am here to be of help in anyway I could.

Raissa - I so admire your strength and tenacity. I remember the last time we talked, we were talking about our recits and how we could surpass this sem. Basta, on behalf of our class, we will all be with you. We will reach that ATTY. See you soon! God bless!

women

Women. O women. It's amazing how your kind do away with anything and get anything you want by virtue of your being a WOMAN.

It's not that i hate your kind, it's just that, sometimes, you go way past the limit! Too many examples popping out of my mind right now; we pay the same fare, you get a bigger seat; when it rains, we get soaked, you're all dry; we board the same elevator, you always go first). Let's just put it this way, chivalry's so yesterday, so "king arthurish". Abolish abolish abolish! Don't get me wrong though, I'm still a certified pro-girl advancement! Pro-equality! :)

Right now, I'm so in the belief that I should speak on behalf and for the benefit of all the males. And so will I. So gents, it's high time we draw the line between reason and insanity, move move move. Do it now or forever be too late. (I hope this is somehow effective, like germ fighting 99.9% effective). HAHAHA!

when I'm hungry

here are 3 not to do's when i'm hungry...

NEVER

- (during classes) forestall my eating by asking questions (the shallow ones) thereby extending the class, because you'll eventually end up in my hate list. :P

- throw jokes at me or else, better be ready for my emotional and physical retaliation. :P

- make nasty comments on the food i'm eating unless you want it to fly and land in your face. :P

anyway, LOVE LOVE LOVE.

P.S.

To arsei, ellen, fats and jigs - thanks! we had a great time earlier, right?

Much thank yous to,

Alex of megaclinic for being a super great pt. and

Joy of globe telecom megamall.

uaap cdc

watching the uaap cheerdance has now become a tradition for me and some of my friends and i must say it's something i always look forward to every year. This time i expected nothing but the best not only from UP but from everyone else and well, they did serve it up.

reviewing the performances, here are my views...

UE - and another extended lingo ng wika performance. :) the best intermission number. :)

UST - costume's not really spectacular but as always, they delivered a solid routine with the perennial and never absent floor turns.

DLSU - they've always been steady in their lifts as i've seen them in the past years. too bad they had a few stumbles this time. great improvement though.

ADMU - i can now say that last year's win was a box in the moon. :P i cheered for you guys pa naman.

FEU - solid solid solid performance. however you guys kinda looked in a rush and natataranta when you performed. But the performance scared the life out of me. i remember myself saying, last na, fall, fall, please fall. hehe. i'm so bad.

UP - GALING IN A MAJOR MAJOR WAY. Solid from start to finish. plus the sunflower pompoms. :) nothing beats our creativity.

ADU - As a friend of mine said, "sayang ang bayad sa ticket!" But they had nice uniforms for the girls ah. and the opening part's ok. :)

NU - Major revelation. Look at what Mr. SM can do. Ang dami nila!!!

I'm happy with the turnout this year. UP's win is like the sweetest ever because all top three teams delivered a perfect performance. UP ang galing mo!!!

P.S. Thanks to Samsung and Tracee B. for our patron tickets :) Til next year!

Mark and Tracee - post the pics na!!!

pambahay get-up

funny fact i can't seem to understand.

You know those people giving leaflets for condos in malls?

I can't seem to grasp why they give me flyers when i look trashy and all. (as in like as of this moment, i'm wearing pambahay shorts and my white aes shirt with my backpack and tennis racquet). whereas when i'm all preppy and dressed up, seems like i'm one common person. Deadma sila suddenly.

Haha. Mas appealing ba talaga tingnan ang pambahay getup? Hehe.

:P

AASA!

AASA KA BA?! Ako, OO. AASA ako! hehehe.

watch out, we're the next big thing!
