what a stupid lamb. ;p

i had a hell-ish week and the only thing that made me go on was the thought that i'd get to watch twilight by the end of the week. true enough, i survived just fine. :)

***

i've already watched twilight three times. yeah, i'm pretty much addicted. prior to watching it, i've read all four books (thanks to rica :) ), i've seen 'pirated' scenes on youtube, and i've re-read twilight this past week. i've set no expectations for the movie so that i wouldn't get disappointed. the book is better, much much better than the movie. but, getting to see the book come to life isn't half bad either. i'm bordering on turning fangirl-ish and the only thing that's stopping me is that i think i'm too old for this sh*t. so what?! i only get to be twenty-five going on seventeen once. haha!

i have also been watching rob's (robert pattinson, that's right! we're tight likethis) interviews on youtube. for a while there, i couldn't get over the hair. man, i just wanted to brush his hair or something. and then i got over the hair. i can live with that. but i still can't get over him. i <3 you, rob. (call me ;p hahaha!!!)

D day + 1

looks like i'm in for a bumpy ride, but i know that the destination is so worth it. freedom, at last. i could almost taste it. ;p

when a heart breaks, no it don't break even.

breakeven - the script

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her 1st
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even even... no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains ooh
Cos you left me with no love and no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break
No it don't break even no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no

what would i do without you? come on..

chris brown-rihanna live at taguig 11.16.08

just got back from watching chris brown and rihanna live at taguig and i've got two words: never again.

yeah, they were great performers but the venue being an open field was pure crap. crap crap crap. i've learned my lesson. for open field events, it's front row or nothing. i'd prefer watching from araneta colesium's GA. haha. ;p interval between the two acts took over an hour. an entire, freaking hour. crap.

and. big AND. simon atkins was there. seen on the wide screen several times. so near yet so far. it was like fate, tempting. ;p (yeah, i wish!)

gahd.

i've just been given the kiss of death. yesterday. gahd. holy crap. i still know where my heart's at. at least. i really need to take my mind off it.

i need a margarita. ;p

can i have this dance?

i'll always be a disney kid at heart and HSM is my guilty pleasure. ;p love the song, love the choreography, and i must say i love zac efron. hahaha! all of my frustrations, captured in a movie scene. ftw!

with all my heart, i'm making a wish.

peyton: make a wish and place it in your heart.. anything you want, everything you want..

lucas: do you have it? good. now believe it can come true. you never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true.

peyton: but if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to possibility of it, to the certainty of it..

brooke: you just might get the thing you're wishing for.

nathan: the world is full of magic. you just have to believe in it. so make your wish. do you have it?

haley: good. now believe in it, with all your heart.


from one tree hill's echoes, silence, patience and grace episode. watching this scene hit me. big time.

on a flooded saturday night..

is this gonna stop me from going out? i don't think so. haha! what flood? to fish & co i go err.. went.. haha! nice seeing you, beters! ;p

technically speaking..

In DLSU's first game of the season, the Archers were slapped with a technical foul even before the game began. The reason? The coaching staff did not wear their IDs.

In DLSU's last game of the season, Rico Maierhofer was slapped with a technical foul. The reason? For giving a dirty finger. Then he got ejected. That was the end for me.

I suddenly remembered my earlier entry about excessive complaining. With season 71 over, I might just give the ball to my referees and tell them, 'you win.'

**buzzer**

It is now my fourth quarter.

i. bleed. green.

UAAP men’s basketball season 71 ended today, 62-51 in favor of the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Yeah, it was another heart breaking game, but thanks to NABRO, it doesn’t hurt so much. I can’t find the right word but i guess frustrating will have to do.

Ateneo deserved to win. It really did. Most of the special awards were given to their team. They had great players. They won all but one of their games this season. So season 71 belongs to Ateneo. Congratulations. See you season 72.

So where does my frustration begin? With all the calls NABRO made. And that no taunting rule. It was really screwed up. Bitterness much? Yeah, I know.

La Salle deserved to fight. Like hell. And they did as much as they were allowed to. FTW.

DLSU Green Archers ended season 71 at second place. I am very much proud of them. I feel sad too, especially for JV who played his heart out. He even had his game face on during the Mythical Five awarding. Thank you, King Archer JV, for playing all heart and keeping the animo alive.

On a personal note, I still can’t get over the fact that season 71 is over. O-V-E-R. It was more than just basketball to me. In my QLC mode: ON phase, thank you Archers for giving me my happy place. I can't wait for season 72.

ANIMO LA SALLE!! >>--->

NABRO..

if NABRO referees wanted to play basketball, they should've formed their own team and not actually joined one.

ANIMO LA SALLE!!

1:05 a.m.

my computer clock says it's now 1:05 a.m.

and i'm still online.

and i have work tomorrow later.

can you really sleep with a broken heart?

1:07 a.m.

game 1: admu def dlsu 69-61

can i be bitter? haha. i can't stop thinking about the finals game one. dammit we lost. gah.

game 2 is on thursday. though i am bleeding green, i am keeping the faith. i want dlsu to win this.. for jv because this is his last year, for rico and his acrobatics on the floor, for simon, period. haha. for simon's whiplash earlier this season. for coach jack surviving taking over two games. i just want them to win it.

truth be told, i don't want this season to end. not yet. keep the faith, animo la salle! play like there's no tomorrow..

game on.. ftw!

it will all begin in less than 24 hours, game 1 of the uaap season 71 finals, dream finals at that, the de la salle university green archers vs the ateneo de manila university blue eagles. i say, game on! animo la salle! for the win!

and the winner is.. araneta!!

sky cable cut off our connection, again. so i was relying on text messages to keep me posted about the dlsu vs feu game. dlsu won so we're in the finals!!

by some sort of miracle, we had our cable connection and i was able to watch the admu vs ue game, or rather parts of it. it was murder. admu won by more or less 20 points.

so sunday, september 21 is an extremely heavenly day for scalpers. i'm sure ticket prices are sky high. like i said.. ateneo, see you in the finals. keep the faith, ANIMO LA SALLE!!

what's your skycable story?

dlsu had it's play-off game against feu today. being the green archer fan that i was, i hurriedly finished all my work, unpatiently waited for 5:30 pm to arrive. while waiting, i'd call home and ask for the scores or updates. plus, aps would text me updates of the game from time to time. i knew that if i left right after work, i'd still get to watch about half of the third quarter. so there i was, rushing home to see if i'd still be able to catch the last quarter. lo and behold, we had no cable reception. ?!?@>$!? wtf?! it has rained hard for the past few days, but today's the lucky day skycable chooses to suspend their service in our area. as of 12:30 this friday morning, we still have no cable. grrr.. i wasn't able to watch the replay. damn you, skycable. i hope we get rebates for service we paid for but didn't get.

***

on a brighter note, dlsu won 62-59 against feu. :) final four begins this sunday. man, i can't believe season 71 is about to end. call me crazy, but watching uaap is what has kept me sane this past few months. i'd have at least two games left to watch the archers in action. come october, omg. work will be all i'll ever think about. how will i ever be able to put up with three more months of torture?

at the office>>

basket number 1..
t: alam mo, mvp ka.
b: anong mvp?
t: most valuable player.
b: bakit?
t: hilig mo magpasa eh. pasa ka ng pasa ng trabaho.

basket number 2..
t1: simula ngayon, tawag ko na sa yo, PG..
b : PG?
t2: anong PG, patay gutom?
t1: hindi, point guard, turo ka kasi ng turo kung anong gagawin..

;p ahlavet!

take it from coach jack..

in franz pumaren's absence in two of dlsu's games, one against ust and one against adu, i got to know coach jack santiago. there's always been a fear of pumaren leaving the green squad, but whoever was qualified to fill his shoes? these two games were not easy victories for the archers. dlsu's game vs ust is one of the best games i've seen, the game tied, at 5.5 seconds left, ball at dlsu's possesion. la revilla blazed by most of the ust defenders and made an unsuccessful lay up. maoui villanueva was at the right place at the right time and tipped the ball into the basket just in the nick of time. i thought i was going to have a heart attack. that game showed that our rookies have heart. dlsu's game vs adu was definitely not a walk in the park. they had to have an extra five minutes to settle it. in the dlsu vs ust game, studio 23 showed the green archers' huddle during the last few seconds of the game. tension was in the air, and they were all waiting for what coach jack had to say. dead silence. then he'd call out a player. james. james. la. la. (vs adu, he called out bader. badeer, really.) then he'd call out a play. form a line. screen. hard. go hard. as a result of too much nervousness, i actually had to laugh. i didn't really understand what the play was until they executed it. coach jack was the-la-salle-community-at-the-edge-of-their-seats-hearts-beating-out-of-their-chests personified. i had to give it to him, at crunch time, he had the best play. so boys, on tomorrow's play-off game vs feu: go hard. ANIMO LA SALLE!!!

**just had to comment: i couldn't believe there were rumors that jv sold that last game. to those who speculated that, how dare you? shame on you. shame on you all. keep the faith. **

my version of 'forks' under renovation.. but still 'forks' to me.

**in twilight, bella refers to forks as her 'own personal hell on earth'.. so, do the math.


we're on the third week of our branch renovation. i couldn't say i love it or i hate it.. it's just everything is different..

from this:

..my organized mess..

to this:

..pre-demolition..

and at present, ta-dah! :

..apparently my new turf..

i have been relocated, isolated from the rest of the world, harhar. i'm still adjusting to it, nothing i couldn't get used to, in say, less than four months. HAHA!

yeah we rock, we rock, we rock.. ;p

you're the voice i hear inside my head,
the reason that i'm singing,
i need to find you, i gotta find you..
you're the missing piece i need,
the song inside of me,
i need to find you,
i gotta find you..

i stumbled upon disney's original movie camp rock and watched half of it. i'm beginning to think my mind must be still stuck in high school, because i liked it. haha. not like, like though. i liked the storyline, although the execution was pretty crappy. i must say, sometimes, i'm too imaginative for my own good. so for now, this is me will be in my head until i get sick of it.. or not. ;p

the day i met my good friend marge.. admu vs dlsu 2nd round elims uaap season 71

after weeks of planning for the much awaited dlsu vs admu 2nd round eliminations game, we finally settled on not watching it LIVE, but opted to watch at friday's glorietta instead. as expected, tickets were hard to find, most sold at unreasonable prices and today was christmas day for the scalpers (damn you all..) at araneta. so there we were, watching the game as if our hearts were breaking for every shot jv didn't make. dlsu lost to admu, 65-57 in a game where dlsu didn't even get a lead, and jv casio's points didn't even hit double digit. franz pumaren coming home from iran didn't even seem to matter, because dlsu still lost. some time third quarter, it seemed like drinking a margarita was the perfect consolation to what was turning out to be a heart breaking game. so we said hello and goodbye to marge..

*sigh* all this frustration coming from what boom says is a no-bearing game. see, there is no such thing as a no bearing dlsu vs admu game. losing hurts like hell, but watching a lost game live is more painful than watching it on tv. nice game ateneo, see you at the finals final four.. ANIMO LA SALLE!!!
