still seeing which blog is better and easier to use. this blog or my http://www.esa418.blogspot.com :) i usually post on these two blogs. i shift. hehehe :)

 midterm week = cram week = early death for students. so god help me.

 arnis training again tomorrow. at least we're improving. i'm getting the hang of it already :) but of course, with kalyos on my hands. hehe.

 oh well, back to hitting the books. wish me luck! :) well, wish all students of DLS-CSB luck this week :) hehe :)

okay. it's 8:03am and i'm literally bumming around the office. plus, there's no one around except for kuya manglilinis who just left. so basically, i'm all alone. hmp.

i was supposed to post an entry yesterday. fell asleep and don't know what happened to the entry. think i loged off before it was published. hahaha :)

anyway, i was just going to talk about what happened to me yesteday. as all of you know, it rained. and i was one of the lucky ones who had the liberty of walking home as the rain poured down. yes, i literally showered in the rain. my pants were really wet (i swear that if there's a complaint box for the roads going to our house, i'm gonna be the first to file one) and take note, i HAD AN UMBRELLA!

i'd say it was most probably the wind. but the flooded streets contributed to my shoes and pants being wet too. double hmp.

i was actually lucky to have brought an umbrella. i'm usually the who-cares-if-it's-gonna-rain type. and i hate carrying umbrellas. jackets are much more useful. well, it so happened that the weather has been oh-so-hot to bring a jacket. so, now you see.. even with an umbrella, you'll get soaked.

of course i was soaked when i got home... and so my mom greeted me with a, "why didn't you bring an umbrella?"  thus, the whole i-brought-an-umbrella-but-the-rain/wind-was-so-strong-plus-the-roads-suck story shall be told once again. :)

i am certain now that i am under the umbrella curse. i am someone who hates carrying umbrellas. i prefer jackets to umbrellas. heck, i prefer getting wet to umbrellas. it's just a psychological thought of mine that umbrellas = hassle. maybe my previous life had something to do with umbrellas. hmm... maybe i was killed by a man with an umbrella or maybe i was the daughter of an umbrella maker and i had a bad experience. nevertheless; i hate carrying umbrellas. but of course, nature loves to test my patience. it rained, and it rained hard. and i, of course, was walking home. i had to stop by araneta square since i couldn't go on without a jacket/umbrella anymore. the rain was that strong. unfortunately (and fortunately), i had with me my lucky and fortunate umbrella. i had no choice but to open it. and it was of no use at all. why? cuz the wind kept on pouring the rainwater on my clothes and maong. it was funny cuz a lot of people were experiencing the same tragedy as i was experiencing a while ago. have an umbrella but no use at all. the wind is a tough enemy.

watched the lake house with achi and shobe a while ago... personally, it was a nice movie... chick flick, think majority of the guys won't appreciate it as much as girls do [i'm not generalizing, just that alvin warned me not to watch and one of my sister's guy friends fell asleep] keanu reeves has always been hot, and this movie has strengthened that statement. always loved the keanu-sandra pair up, loved it ever since speed came out. :)

"if she's not careful, she might wait her whole life." in this film, time was their main difference. but how about in real life? is time the only factor that separates you from someone you like/love (right guy, wrong time)? in my case, it isn't. time isn't my only enemy when it comes to love.

when things didn't work out between me and someone (no, we were NOT a couple), one of my friends asked me one question that made me realize something. "are you sad because you truly loved him and that you can't have him or are you sad because you've finally found the guy your family will approve of and you can't have him?"

the concept of familiarity. you've been too familiar with something that you don't want to change it anymore. am i going to live with that concept forever? not being able to change something that has already been planned out. not being able to follow your heart. trying to smile and be happy, knowing that it's best for you. a smile in the day so bright, tears in the night so dark.

if you were brought up to be familiar with a tradition or doing, would you have the guts to change it? or would you stick to the plan? what if you liked someone but couldn't have him because of familiarity reasons? how would you know if you like a person because you like him or because you've finally found someone who matches your familiarity requirements?

so many questions. so hard to answer.

but with me, my life's planned out. familiarity has won the race. is it my choice? i honestly don't know. as some people say, it has its benefits.

but if you're someone who doesn't fear the familiarity concept. if you're someone who can break down the walls of familiarity with no strings attached, well then, i salute you.

as for me, it has its benefits.

yes, i am admitting that my stupidity got the best of me today.

before i tell the whole world my stupidity... i will go through my day today... i had a normal day... i mean, i did the usual... went to class and the office... had a meeting with ms. p and the layout peeps...

(after the meeting) cool thing was we had out first ever arnis lessons today :) sir paul's a superb trainer... and the beats were really cool.. you could really hear the 'tak tak tak' sound combining with the percussion :) hehehe :) cooL... and imagine the sound coming from your own hands, este sticks... =P

and now for the climax of my day: my celphone ALMOST got lost. yes, my irresponsible mind blacked out and i forgot where i put, este left my celphone.

it was after arnis lessons, i went to MCO to say hi to ms. e, ate me ann, sir chong, etc.; i then went to the byo, left my stuff and went to change; went to the yearbook booth and stayed at plaza v after. i got hungry so asked neppy to accompany me to the caf; chief followed. nora and ali stayed behind (at plaza v) since they were watching something.

and here comes the great part! i was sitting with hannah and rugen; neppy and chief were at the other table. e d eat galore naman ako... AFTER EATING (so how many wonderful minutes yun), hannah brought out her celphone (to text cj most probably ;P), then i wanted to bring out my celphone too (palibhasa inggitera... hahahaha )

my merciful Lord, my celphone could not be found! as in! even though my backpack was huge, it was usually easy to find my phone. but i couldn't find it a while ago. i don't know how many novenas or prayers i said... but all i could think about was, "where the hell is my phone?"

and of course, i roamed around school, retraced my steps and asked a few friends. and yes, they were as scared and nervous as i was. thank God for them. and sa awa ng Diyos, i found my celphone at plaza v. yes, at plaza v.. under ali's bag... it was a good thing that nobody took it... God really moves in mysterious ways.

and yes, i'm really thankful that i have my friends. The yearbook people helped me worry when they knew my cel was missing. My other friends (hannah, rugin, and neppy) helped me look for the celphone itself.

all i can say is that i couldn't ask for better friends. and thank God my celphone's back in my hands... :) hehehe :)

lesson learned.
