The Case of Gareth Richards-->http://web.kssp.upd.edu.ph/polsci/index.html

I'm too burnt out to blog. Yay. I've read a lot of friends' blogs sharing the same sentiment. If you're thinking that I am affected by the Hello Garci fiasco, by Sin's death, or by the P2 fare increase, I assure you I am not. It's a micro thing, closer to heart, it's my work. Definitely, it's downhill from here on.

I think I'm gaining weight again because of junk food. And my hny is some kind of a kunsintidor that's why we grow fat together.

I'm watching (and loving) FRIENDS Season 1. I just realized how abnormal I was in high school, when everybody's watching Friends, I'm busy having boyfriends haha. Kidding.

We're enrolled in 2 subjects this sem, another 2 next sem and a comprehensive exam then we have our master's degrees. Then, hopefully we'll pass the licensure exam for environmental planners, then we'll have titles. Funkylady, En.P. Deadpan_Dô, En. P. Nice.

I don't think I'll be able to get a Ph D before 30, even if that's seven years from now (okay 6, I'll be 24 in August). That'll be too complicated, Funkylady, En.P., Ph. D. Fun!

Speaking of school stuff, we're enrolled in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Estate Planning. I think learning GIS is essential if we really want to pursue a career in planning plus I really want to learn something technical in my life. Studying computer programming would be too difficult for me at this stage, I guess I'll stick it out with GIS.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time with our other class, Estate Planning. I didn't attend last Monday, coz it's raining (excuses!). So, my hny attended it alone and he got himself a group! Sheesh, I really should've forced my lazy ass to get up, I thought it was the usual first day of class so, no classes, I forgot this is graduate school.

Well, according to hny the prof is strict, she even said that she hated the way master's programs are taught here in the Phils. The professors, according to her, are way too slack and the students too lazy to read assigned readings. Gee, it's giving me the jitters I'm so used to cramming. She also required a lot of things, but the topics are interesting so I guess I have to clean up my act this sem. I should not forget next meeting, I have to beg her to let me join my hny's group, hmm I better think of a good excuse for that.

Today is Bel's birthday and tomorrow will be Glenda's. Happy birthday ladies!

June 23, we'll be celebrating 63 months of happiness and mushiness. Gad, I'm so thankful for the guy.

Yesterday, he asked me what would I like to eat for our FRIENDS-marathon viewing, I texted him Go Nuts! Donuts! and changed my mind, I asked for PikNik instead. Guess what, he brought home both plus chocomallows and another chips. Sigh* Just one of those moments that I wish I've met him earlier, meaning first year high school (^_^)!!

Isang mabilis na post para sa Eraserheads.

High school ako nun nung una kong narinig ang Pare Ko. Sobrang relate siguro ang Pinoy youth noon, lalo pa nung ni-release yung Alapaap. Angsty, rebellious, out of the box music para sa mga high school students na nalilito sa identity pati na rin sa music preferences nila dahil sa Western influences. Naging parang national anthem ang mga kanta nila, sinakyan pa ng mga politiko, masamang impluwensya daw dahil sa mga double entendre, nanghihikayat na tumikim ng alam nyo na. Siguro kung merong isang salita para mai-describe yung kasikatan nila nun, eto yung naisip ko: phenomenal.

Ngayon, pagkatapos ng maraming quadruple platinum na albums, pagkatapos ng mala-Beatles na kasikatan, wala na sila. Maraming dahilan, malabo lahat, sabi nila irreconcilable differences daw. Maraming magagalit dun sa huling statement, dapat siguro linawin ko. Wala na ang banda, pero yung musika andyan pa rin. Ang dami nang dumating na bagong mga mukha, maraming nagtangka at sumusubok na marating man lang kahit kalahati nung kasikatan nila. May mga sumikat, mas maraming nalaos, lahat sila aminado na malaki ang impluwensya ng Eraserheads sa musika nila.

From the Stickerhappy album

OA siguro, pero yung banda ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit inambisyon ko na makapasok sa UP. Lalo na si Ely. Hehe Typical high school student. Pero nung freshman ako, wala na sila sa UP, ni hindi na nga tinapos ng mga mokong ang pag-aaral e. Ngayon, pag nakikita ko si Ely o naririnig yung mga kanta nila, hindi ko maiwasan na mag-reminisce ng high school, parang synonymous na kasi yun, parang parte na ng buhay mo na hindi mo makakalimutan kahit tumanda ka.

Isa lang siguro ibig sabihin kung bakit biglang ganito yung tono ng post ko: I'm gettin old. Sheesh.

With the series now on its final four episodes, I would like to thank everyone who have emailed me asking for a copy of the spoiler, thanking me, or just giving their 2 cents worth about the Korean novela starred by Jo In Sung, Ha Ji Won, Park Ye Jin and So Ji Sub. It really took the Philippines by storm very much like the Meteor Garden craze in 2003. Your emails are heartwarming and it would be so much fun to send those emails to the producers and star of the said series if only I could. Since it would be difficult for me to find time to send individual emails because graduate school will begin a week from now, I am posting here a link where everyone with a yahoo mail account may donwload the spoiler.

Gamsa Hamneda!
