My Blog

It’s exactly a month before Christmas and I’m a bit worried. I’m about to reach “broke status” when it comes to my savings the past few weeks, and my ATM is not a bit well too. It’s this time of the year when you get involved into so much exchange gifts you don’t realize you don’t have the money to buy gifts anymore. Add to these the many things I have to pay before Christmas time including the org jacket, my share in the laptop payment and the water supply in the dormitory. Geez. Lord help me.

I should be hating Christmas. You see, I’m the kuripot type. I’m not so much into giving gifts to people, except, of course, when I get involved in different exchange gifts stuff. I make it a point that I have at least a hundred pesos by midweek from my allowance. My strategy is that I leave the hundred at home so I won’t be able to spend it. Aside from that, I really keep my budget real tight during school days, opting for the cheaper food houses (i.e. Lutong Bahay) during lunch breaks and dinner. I also refrain from buying in-between meals. I know it’s a bit exage, but I make it a point that I reward myself whenever I have a lot of savings during a particular week through treating myself to some iced white choco-mocha espresso from Starbucks (love the caffeine and sugar overload) or fine dining in Katips resto (I recently dined at Kitaro with the org’s dinner group – kimmy, eli, con, ter, flau – and had a lot of time. And a lot money spent too. Haha). I was right when I told Ter and Con that night who my counterpart in the TV show “Let’s Go!” is. It’s Mike—the brainy, Scrooge-y, alaskador guy.

Well, talking about being alaskador, I think I went overboard the past week, especially last Friday. I feel that I pissed off Patty big time when I started dissing Gian’s (from Philippine Idol) “Bakit Pa Ba?” performance after the org’s GA, and then went on last Friday afternoon. It was just my opinion, but I think I should’ve shut my mouth up. Patty’s really crazy (uhmm… well, that’s an understatement) over the dude and I should’ve not spoiled her extremely-happy-mood-coz-of-Gian that day. Lesson learned.

Going back, Christmas is also the time of the year when everyone gains a lot of weight because of Noche Buena overeating. Call me metrosexual, extremely vain, bading, diet-conscious or whatever, but I just hate gaining weight. I hate getting my stomach really big even more. I dunno why. Maybe it’s just that I already went through that obesity stage in my life that I don’t want to cross the same river twice again. I’ve been eating just wheat bread and low fat milk for breakfast (and even lunch) the past few days just to cut off the weight I gained due too so much bumming during the sem break. I even went jogging with Con and Ter Friday morning to get myself some badly needed exercise. And here comes Christmas with the promise of so much food to eat and so much fats to take in. Geez. I should really be hating Christmas.

But why would I? Christmas is simply the happiest season of the year. Budget and diet be damned. I’m celebrating the Yuletide season in the best way I can.

woke up to the tune of ‘dreaming with a broken heart’ the other day.

cho brothers gone in the race.

can’t separate a dream from reality.

an irritating song is playing over the radio.

brad’s voted out. so as jenny. no more pinoy castaways.

frustrated over econ. just cant understand graphs.

my stomach’s definitely bigger.

haven’t done my advertising homework.

yeng’s nominated.

sad. good night.

geez. second year, second sem. im not getting any younger.

this sem, i promised myself im gonna use the ‘julianne technique’ to improve myself. it came from a piece of advice my high school classmate, julianne, gave me way back HS days. she told me to do everything as soon as you can. kung magbigay ng assignment ang prof, gawin mo right after niya ibigay. tipong ganun. ‘no day but today’ idea. (very ‘rent’)

it’s quite effective, i think. i get to make the most out of my time, tapos mas mahabang oras para makapag-relax. the technique gives me more time for sleep at night. good for me.

speaking of sleep, im just bothered by my bed sa dorm, it’s screechy. im worried it might fall off soon. nyahaha. i dont want to find myself sa floor one of these days. sana gawin na ng mga yakal repair people.

my subjects this sem are better than last sem’s. ive got comm140 with sir varona hu is so pope-ish. hehe. he likes us to tell so much personal stories. ganun daw talaga. to train us to be better communicators.

ive got streetdance for PE this sem. very not me. it requires some outfit. im planning to buy a new pair of rubber shoeses and shorts para dito. for more lang.

i enjoy my literature class most. dami ko kasing natutunan. it makes me think deeply too.

my advertising class is always fun. si ma’am tessa ba naman ulit ang prof e. at star ako sa class. kilala na kasi ako ni ma’am. good for me.

econ100.1 is B-O-R-I-N-G. ive slept twice during discussion classes. kapag graphs na ang pinag-uusapan, matutulog na lang ako. hindi ko ma-absorb e. *booboo*

news reporting is exciting. and challenging too. nako. journ na journ na ako.

my film prof hasnt shown up still. maybe he’s busy directing his indie film. i dunno.

sa totoo lang, wala ako sa mood mag-blog… tama na. survivor na.
