Sandra from sandraganzo.com tagged me.

Here are the rules:

1. Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves.

2. You have to choose and tag ten people.

3. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them.

4. No tag backs.

5. Have fun.

Unfortunately, I won't be following Rule #2 and #4 because I don't know anyone else who has a blog that Sandra hasn't already tagged. I'll just tag whoever reads this post. :P YOU! :P

So here goes:

1. I'm a music lover. :) I listen to all genres of music, except "Screamo". xP Please. I don't need anyone screaming in my ear when I relax. xP

2. I can play the piano, guitar, and violin. I'm not an expert on those instruments though.

3. I love playing basketball. :D I'm scared of playing volleyball, not because it hurts really bad

when you get spiked in the face (the basketball to the face hurts more! :P), but because I'm not really good at it and I might annoy my teammates like I did in 1st year high school.

4. I don't eat pork or any other seafood besides fish.

5. I <3 soup/any viand with soup.

6. I compose songs on the spot, but I forget the lyrics or the tune after I sing them. :))

7. I love SUNSETS. Sadly, I've never seen the sun go down across the sea/bay/ocean like it

should. I would only have glimpses of it. :(

8. I enjoy watching K/J/T-dramas too. :>; So cuute!

9. I like Math. :| Yeah, I do. Maybe my mind likes to memorize a few formulas and manipulate

them, rather than just memorize A LOT like what my majors require. But I love my course. :D

10. I have an old pillow (I think it's 10 years old already? xP) that I still love and could never get

rid of. :D It's my hugging pillow! I'm almost never without a hugging pillow!

A Night to Remember

"May 25, 2011.

At Ateneo de Manila University.

We interviewed a BS Health Sciences major.

Not just any BS Health Sciences major,

but a BS Health Sciences major who is able to juggle his studies and career in showbusiness successfully."

Who is this guy? :>

I don't know if you can see his face clearly in the photo above, but the guy is Robi Domingo.

He's the 1st runner up in PBB Teen Edition 2008 and a former MYX VJ. You can also see him perform in ASAP with the Gigger boys (e.g Enchong Dee).

I knew Robi Domingo was a smart student, but I didn't know that he was REALLY smart. Even though he was busy shooting for a television series, he was still able to become a Dean's lister in his school. Furthermore, when he was in high school, he qualified for UP Intarmed. O.O

So I'm just going to end here. I don't plan to narrate the whole interview. :P

It was a fun night. We got to learn more about him and his 'priorities in life', which was part of our objectives. ;) I hope we get to interview more people! Sadly, Comm III requires only one and it's over! I won't be able to interview celebrities in the future. :( Maybe if I become a MYX VJ. Haha. I wish. :P

Chi's right. It is such a wonderful movie. Better watch it! ;)

Guard

Guard yourself against false hope.

Protect yourself from unwanted pain.

Expect the unexpected.

Save some for yourself.

Lessons one must learn.

Wondering

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I guess it drew you far from me.

I can't say that I've done nothing wrong, and I've thought about it constantly.

I've tried to mend the once beautiful bond, but it feels like I have failed.

Cuz right now you're not reciprocating. Sadly, I think you've bailed.

Friday the 13th.

I actually didn't realize it was Friday the 13th last May 13, 2011. I guess I thought more of the impromptu speech that I was going to deliver that afternoon than what the day/date was. Sadly, thinking about it more didn't save me from delivering a "FAIL" speech. Take note of the quotation marks because I didn't really fail that midterm exam officialgrade-wise, but I didn't deliver my speech as well as I thought I could. The topic was about the implementation of a dress code in UP and it required me to defend my stand whether I approve of it or not. I was given 5 minutes to prepare for it. I decided that I was against the dress code because it prevented students from expressing themselves. "It is an expression of their individuality. Blah Blah." Unfortunately, the messy outline that I made was a speech that lasted for 2 minutes. I blanked out! I repeated a few of my points and said some verbal fillers and fortunately I went beyond the minimum time. A bit embarrassed, I got off the stage - THEN I remembered what I actually wanted to say and it ~x( me. (I couldn't think of the right word for that now. LOL.) Oh well, I guess I'm not really a good impromptu speaker. :))

After everyone delivered their speeches, we had an activity. It was an ETHOS activity and we were to arrange ourselves in a circle and pass around a paper with our creative name designs and people were going to write their comments about you. I was pretty excited for the activity because the last time I did that was in 3rd year, when I was a new student in the montessori. One of the comments I received that I never forgot was that I had my own world (May sarili kang mundo). When I got that I thought to myself, "I'm autistic?" O.O I don't mean to offend those with autism, but it was just that my highschool literature teacher used that word to refer to people who had their own world because children with autism act like they "have their own world". You know what I mean. Anyway, I wanted to see how my college classmates perceived me. So we did the activity. I didn't notice the time but I think the activity went on for 30 minutes. When I got my paper, I smiled. ACTUALLY, I laughed. :)) I couldn't believe the comments. It was sweet, funny, flattering, sweet..(infinity x). I didn't get a negative comment. Thing is, I hope all the comments they wrote were true! :)) The top comment I got was about my talent a.k.a voice. The sum of what they said about it is that I have a nice voice and I should be more confident about it. Hmm. More confident. Hmm. I'll try to be. Once I really acknowledge that I really have a nice voice. O.O *sighs* Believing comments about my singing is really hard for me. Hmm. I'll try to be. Hmm. I don't know if they know this.. but everything they told me really made me happy. It's what I needed after the fail speech. It's what I needed to know although I can't fully acknowledge till now. But I love my blockmates. :) I love my friends. I love everyone who have been there for me and believed in me. :)

So who said Friday the 13th was bad luck?

Missing you.

Before I start cramming for my exam tomorrow, I want to get a few things out of my chest. The emotions are building up and I really need to release 'em. What's better than to write it, to pour everything on a piece of paper, well, in this case a blog. Hmm. Anyway....

As I walked through the gates of our home, it felt like there was something missing. Something that should have been there that wasn't. Yes, the car wasn't in the driveway, but it really didn't bother me. Then what could have been missing? Well, it's something that'll greet you whenever you come in. Something that tries to sneak in the house and needs to be bribed with a slice of bread to get out. Something that's ecstatic to see you. Something which actually feels like a SOMEONE. A part of the family, a part of our home, something that will indeed be missed - my dog, RAMBO. He died last night, around 11:45. When I came back from Ilocos, I saw him lying down, already feeling weak. I was pretty sleepy, so I didn't really notice how weak he was really feeling. I thought he was just intentionally blocking the way as he would always do to earn doggie treats. When my father got him to move away from the door, I saw Rambo limping. My dad said Rambo had been sick for the past few days. He wasn't that weak when I left to Ilocos, so I guess he got really sick while I was away. The vet already gave him some medicine, but I guess it was too late. Rambo was rather old in doggie years and it was too late. He was just too weak. It's so sad. :( I miss my doggy. I actually feel sorry that I took him for granted. I'm always busy with school and other things that I rarely play with him... and... now... he's... gone. *sighs* I'll miss you Rambo. I love you and I'm sorry if you never really felt it lately. *sighs* Because of that, I won't be buying a dog anytime soon.

Bye Bye Rambo. :(
