Heh. Ang ganda ng title ko noh? It's actually the title of a story I read in a book called "Fourteen Love Stories". It's definitely one of the best short stories I've ever read!!! I'm not a huge fan of love stories, but this one was just so...beautiful *sniff sniff*...hehe. Hinde, maganda siya talaga...the plot seems simple---an already-engaged guy meets this girl and falls in love with her. Pero, hindi talaga pwede...I won't say anymore because I might spoil the ending. Basta maganda siya. I liked how it was written. All I can say is...life is full of dead stars. (hehe. another corny remark by yours truly)
Right now sobrang boring dito na once na-tempt akong mag-aral. Or, maybe at least read my notes...get a head start. Wala rin naman akong ginagawa eh. Must be the result of the Omega-3 caps I've been taking lately. Y'see I watched this BBC documentary about this guy who was tryin to memorize this piano piece in a week and he tried all sorts of ways on how to improve his learning and memory. Apparently Omega-3 or Fish oil can really improve/stimulate your learning (at least that's what happened to a couple of kids). Actually inaral namin to sa school pero nakalimutan ko na. Hehe. That's why I need Omega-3 talaga.
Talking about school really depresses me. Ayoko kasi pumasok...ever. Well... hindi naman siguro pero ayoko pa. People keep saying that 3rd yr's the hardest year kasi puro duty at mahirap ang med-surgery. Tapos gigising na naman ako ng maaga!!! Kakainis. Actually Omega-3 is also supposed to ease depression, but I think that part's not working for me. Oh well. Till next time na lang. hehehe

Long entry.Hong Kong, Cebu. hehee
I can't believe how I'm so old already ( I'm turning twenty na...boohoo) yet I still have all these rebellious angsty teenage crap flowing through my head!!! Like I want to murder someone...
Well. There was this night, I couldn't go to sleep and it was already 2 in the morning. I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking of how our Cebu trip will be a disaster( we were going there the next morning) because I know that my mom will be her usual stressed-out self. And Lisa too. Apple will be all the more annoying. I was worried because that's how our Hong Kong trip ended up ( we went there the week before). It was fun but most of the time we were all stressed, because my mom kept complaining about everything. Sas didn't come with us because she has work. Actually I've been wanting to write about our trip to Hong Kong ever since last week but my mom kept using the internet and the other computer's busted.
Hong Kong is a cool place. It's clean, quite small compared to our country. The place looks like one big Greenbelt. A lot of tall towers, tall buildings which all have that modern look that you see in makati or Global city. Our tourist said that in HK, they can build the tallest towers and not worry about earthquakes. The IFC tower is apparently the 4th tallest in the world. HK is very pretty, especially at night, because the buildings all have neon lights on them. But the best part was the pandas in Ocean park. Ang cute nila!!! Like you want to hug them all the time. I think, when I'm old enough, I'll have pandas as pets. Seriously. I'll wait until it's legalized..40 years from now, maybe. I'll build this huge habitat for them (using the stacks of cash I'll have earned by then) and start my own show, called "Pauline's Pandas". Hmm. I have such unusual fantasies. Pero cute talaga sila.
While it is a very beautiful place, the people...I wish I could say the same thing about them. No, I'm not talking about their physical beauty or whatever, but it's just that they're very rude!!! They have this habit of bumping into you even if its not crowded. They don't even say sorry! They don't even turn around. Just kept on walking and being their loud selves. Like nothing happened. They are also very pushy. As in pushy talaga. Literally and metaphorically, I mean. Mahilig sila manulak, for no reason at all. There was this saleslady sa tiangge and we asked around her stall. When we were about to leave she had this death like grip on Apple's shoulder and pleaded for us to buy her DVDs. Scary.
Hmm. I'm beginning to get irritated again. I could hear my mom's voice downstairs, I don't know who she's yelling at though. I really hate it when she yells. Even if it's not directed at me, I still can't bear it. Apple annoys the heck out of me too. Even though she's being her usual makulit self, I've been extra annoyed at her. I don't know why. I think it's abnormal because my period's not due til two weeks.
Well, going back to Hong Kong, while it is a very cool place, I wouldn't want to live there. The people there are too loud for me. Y'know, talking about living abroad reminds me of my fate to live in the US. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to live there. I'd rather live in Singapore or maybe London ( I want to say Japan, but after watching The Grudge,The Ring, wag na lang pala).
Or better yet I'd rather live here, in the RP. Ever since I've been exposed through our RLE duties, I've had this genuine desire to really help out those needy people. Y'know, there are a lot of people there who can't even afford to buy a P20 dextrose bottle. Once, there was this girl who came into the Lying-in clinic. Though she was to be transferred to a hospital (she was hypertensive), she begged to stay there. Probably becuase she can't afford a C-section at that hospital. See how sad it is???
Anyway, the Cebu trip was fine. The beach was nice, with the white sand and the clear blue waters sparkling under the very very very hot sun. We went snorkeling, and our food was free (both dinner and breakfast) since my mom complained (apparently they gave our rooms to someone else and we had to wait for two hours until we could check in). BUt the highlight of the trip was me eating those delicious pepper and vinegar chicharon at the airport. Ang sarap talaga, nagsisise nga ako na hindi ko binili yung party-size eh. One of the many frustrating moments of my life, regretting to buy party-sized pepper and vinegar chicharon.

hey there!!!! new blog yey!
finally, I've changed my blog! grew tired of my old one.It's only the 4th month of a new year and already a lot has happened. I had to deal with that mysterious, frightening and AWFUL part of life (or, rather the end of it) twice...first, it was my dad. Then, my lolo. I took my lolo's death quite well, I mean he was already old and he had already done so much. Kumbaga, I feel like he was already content with his life. I don't know about my dad though. Even though I've known him my entire life (syempre...) there' s still a part of him that's a mystery to me. I think, that somehow, he still had those little unfullfilled dreams he had ever since he was a kid. That's the saddest part for me.
It's been only four weeks of vacation and I'm already bored. They're renovating virramall now, (actually, hindi na siya virra mall but a soon-to be call center), and nawala na yung mga dvd vendors! Kainis. Apparently, the new owners of virramall (or whatever it's going to be called) signed a contract to not let vendors sell pirated dvds anymore.
Anyway, I watched this great film, "2046". It's chinese, and it has a nice creative story. I'm bad at giving summaries so I just copied this from somewhere.
"In Hong Kong 2046, He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention…to recapture their lost memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back - except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change. "
Also, I bought a new CD...Eraserheads. Actually I was sort of forced to buy it, but then after listening to a few tracks I liked it! "Huling El bimbo" was really the best song from them, I mean when I first heard it (which was probably 10 yrs ago...) I only liked it for its melody...I didn't understand what the song really meant. The song was actually like a mini-novel. They should make a short film about it. Make it under Lea Productions...heheh
Well...gotta cut this short...my mom want to use the computer na...
