sheet.
I am in a foul mood. Recurring toothache. Love-hate relationship with myself. Current abhorrence towards my hair. And I am feeling extremely irritated.
I didn't have Spanish class today. And for the next two Saturdays too. And it actually feels different. I miss my Spanish classes. Before, I thought Spanish classes rob me of precious sleep (but then again, I get to sleep all I want everyday) but now I crave for that Saturday morning rush. Oo, medyo baliktad ako... I don't rush on weekday mornings. I love Saturdays maybe because it is the only time I get to go out of the house. Also an excuse to not go to TPOB (the place of business). I miss my classmates... I miss Pam & the girls...
Usually, I get out of my rut by surfing the net. Aimlessly wandering in the world wide web... I, myself, couldn't believe how much time I've wasted staring at my Friendster account, petting Fluff friends on Facebook, and going through my (usually) spam-mail-filled e-mail account FOR HOURS! For years, I haven't done anything productive with my time and my knowledge (kung may natitira pa!).
I'm thinking, maybe I've gotten so sulky and sad because I've been spending too much time on the computer and not having enough interaction with other people. Plus, I've read too much of other people's blogs and have compared myself to them and to what they have achieved. And to attain happiness, comparing one's self to another is a no-no. I've become too obsessed about how other people live their lives that I've forgotten that I should be living mine. And now... I think I should limit myself on my usage of the computer and the internet and devote my time into something more worthwhile...

I want to get a Teen Vogue subscription. Ideally, buying back issues is better since it's cheaper. However, for the past 3 months, I haven't had the chance to stumble into October 2007, November 2007, December/January issues. And it's making me frickin' atat!
It's just an idea, something that may or may not happen. However, I have three options as to how to get a subscription.
Option 1: Subscribe locally. Via Emerald Headway. 10 issues/year costs around P2,800++ I think...
Option 2: Subscribe via teenvogue.com Apparently, it's only $35 for a year~ that's P1,400++ in our money! Much, much cheaper. However, I don't know if $35/year already includes the shipping fees.. baka mamaya the shipping fees are $35 din... 'Wag na lang, diba?
Option 3: Ask my relatives living in the States to buy me new issues and I'll pay them na lang... This option seems to be a good one.. only that I don't actually have a close relationship with my relatives over there. So this option, however feasible, is doomed from the start.
I'll think hard about this...
This is a major decision I have to make since it involves my dwindling money reservoir.

Love love love
Ooooh!!! Oooh!!! Oooh!!! They're making this...
into this...
They've started filming the movie adaptation of Confessions of a Shopaholic. I'm currently reading the second installation of the Shopaholic book series, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan. It's really entertaining but it could also get annoying at times. I mean, she's not only shopaholic, she's a compulsive liar, too. As I was reading the book earlier today, I was thinking how it would be great if they'd make this into a movie and if so, who would play Becky Bloomwood's character... and whaddyaknow, they are! (And I am so excited! Too bad it's due 2009 pa.) Isla Fisher will play Becky Bloomwood. I'm not sure if she's perfect for the role. I'm actually thinking Katherine Heigl. How original, haha! I'm just not really sold on the idea of Isla Fisher playing the role of Becky Bloomwood. I saw her on Wedding Crashers and didn't quite like it, thought she was weird and annoying. Maybe it's just the role.
I still am not sure as to who will play Luke Brandon. In the cast list, below Isla Fisher, is Hugh Dancy but it doesn't say which character he'll be playing. Let's just hope it's not Luke. He's not Luke-ish. I'm thinking someone good-looking... teka lang... Hugh Dancy could be good-looking. Puede naman...
The movie's set in NY... ahhh... another plus for me. But I'm wondering why it wasn't set in London like in the books. And what would they do when they also decide to turn the second book into a movie when she's already in Manhattan??? Wait... maybe they'll be incorporating all 3 books into one movie? Maybe... maybe not. I'm hoping not. I think they should cash in on this one. Ditzy, fun books sell. As well as ditzy, fun movies.
Eeeeeeeeeek... I can't wait!

Bakit laging Miss Photogenic lang ang Miss Philippines
Patay! Miss Photogenic na naman tayo n'yan.
At nagtataka tayo bakit hindi tayo nanalo sa mga beauty pageants?
Wala kasi tayong panlaban sa mga tipo ni Sushmita Sen.
'Pag tinanong kung What is the essence of a woman?
Answer: Brand's Essence of Chicken. I thank you.

Brain freeze
“Tandaan mo anak ang batang sinungaling ay di na tatangkad, uusli ang ipin, liliit ang binti at tutubuan ng nunal sa mukha.” - Diosdado Macapagal
Funny.

I just took the civil service exam yesterday. Sheet. It was difficult. I mean, is it really important to know the meaning of termagant?
To prepare for the exams, I did some reviewing- reviewed mathematical concepts, formula, english and filipino vocabulary and grammar. During review, I aced the vocabulary and grammar part. As usual, math was the enemy. I hated math. I wished the exam to consist of everything except math, which is impossible. Surprisingly, the easiest part of the CSE was math! At least with the math part, I was sure whether or not my answers were correct. As with the english grammar and comprehension part, I am totally unsure whether or not I arrived at the correct conclusion or made the correct assumption. As in pare, hebigats! I was able to finish the exam but I don't know if I picked the right answer.
I hope I'll pass this one.

I take it back. I don't "crush" him anymore. That declaration was only valid last, last Saturday when he was in smart casual attire. And now that he's back sporting his casual-sporty clothes, wis na.
Pam and I think he looks like John Malkovich. Joji thinks he looks like Will Ferrell. Haha! Ang leveling!

Postsecret of the Week: Failed.
I feel the same.
I'm sorry I failed my parents and wasn't able to meet their expectations.
I'm also sorry I failed myself.
But there's no use crying over spilled milk and so...
I'll try to succeed in another field.
Good luck to me.

A wedding, a birthday & a new motivation
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOLA JUNO!
After class, AD fetched me from IC to go to a wedding. She made the bride's and the entourage's gown and she wanted me to tag along to take pictures of the dresses she made. I'm not very fond of weddings for I think they entail so much work. Don't get me wrong, of course I would like to get married in the future. It's just that when the time comes, I wouldn't want to fuss over all those things. But actually, it's quite ironic since my business is largely related to weddings. Hmm...

I was late for my Spanish class again. When the new level started, I promised not to come late to class again. The reason: we have a new professor who actually teaches and when I come to class late, I miss a lot. And since I want to get my money's worth, I try, as much as possible, to make it to class on time. That was my primary reason. But I think I would have to add another one: the professor himself. Cute. Now there's another motivation to come to class early... ;P
The family (minus daddy who's still in the province) celebrated AB's birthday yesterday. We had dinner with relatives at Amici in Tomas Morato. I was sick so I wasn't able to enjoy the food that much. I bet the pizza's really really good but my taste buds weren't in tip-top shape. Despite the fact that I had cough and colds, I still had gelato- Cioccolato. It was good but I think I still prefer FIC's Strawberry. Maybe I have to try gelato again another time, when I'm feeling better.
Another update I almost forgot to write about... I didn't make it to the radio thingy. Which is fine by me since I kind of knew it right from the moment I stepped into the room. Of course I wish I were chosen since I'd be 25k richer every month! Who wouldn't want that? Kahit na struggle mag-translate, I would try HARD, really hard. Di bale, next time na lang. By then, I promise I'd be better grammar-wise and when it comes to speaking the language also. And now that I have my motivation, it's not hard to do so ;)
