i'm officially IN LOVE.

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:25:32 GMT

it's been a long time since i wanted something this badly. and now, it has finally arrived.

ladies and gentlemen, behold the Mercedes-Benz CLC Class Sportcoupe 2009.

i'm in love, i'm telling you. driving Nate feels great, wonder how it feels like driving this one. must be HEAVEN.

28,000 Euros. all i need is a job that would earn me enough money to buy this baby. i don't care what it takes, i will have it eventually. :p

i would've settled for a red 135i, but then again, gotta be lovin' my own especially when it comes by this PRETTY! ;)

the story of my life.

Fri, 30 May 2008 00:56:51 GMT

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do.

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

*sighs*

different people might come and go, but what sucks is how this story keeps repeating itself OVER and OVER.

dilemma.

Wed, 21 May 2008 12:14:08 GMT

for a couple of weeks now since i got back from chi-town, my friends and i have been asking each other...

THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU or THE ONE YOU LOVE?

if you were forced to pick just one, which would you pick?

me? i'd rather not answer. :p i honestly don't know which one i'd pick.
how can you possibly make a choice when the one you love embodies everything you've ever wanted?

the ultimate death march.

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:00:28 GMT

next week, I SHALL DIE.

it's gonna be the WORST, HELL-EST week in my entire college life.

Lord, give me strength to surpass it.

Grrrrr!!!

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:47:51 GMT

can i just say...

GIRL POLITICS FUCKING SUCKS!

it's unfathomable how some people can put up with all that drama, insanity, "meddling with people's lives," self-centeredness, etc etc. basically, everything else in an overly girly and gossipy fashion.

i guess this is why i'd rather be great friends with boys than with girls. i never really saw myself being a clique-ish girl. admit it, things are less complicated if you tell it like it is and if you just go with the flow. there's no harm in sporadically NOT reading into things.

besides, why join the catfight, when it's uber-fun to get spoiled by all your guy friends?

trust me, i know. ;)

The Big 2-O!

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:55:16 GMT

The birthday was great, possibly one of the most memorable and enjoyable birthdays I ever had in Ateneo. And because so many people played a part in making me happy yesterday, I’m gonna take my time and give out my heartfelt gratitude to everyone I can remember (in chronology haha). :p

To EVERYONE who greeted me personally, thru the phone, thru text, thru friendster and/or through facebook, thank you so much. Your simple happy birthdays were very thoughtful. They all made me smile (snicker at times, but yeah… haha) and feel really special!

To Therese (together with E313 – Myka, Gella, Aeli and Kat), for the surprise at around 10:30pm-ish the night before (you never fail to make EARLY birthday surprises hehe). It was really unexpected and touching, considering I barely see you these days. Thanks for the cake, the ice drops, and hiring a trike! ;p

To E313, Myka, Gella, Aeli and Kat, my pseudo-roommates, for the chocolates, for the jellyace, for the months-old marshmallow (hahaha), and for suprising me early with Therese. :p I love being 313’s Corner E. Hugs!

To 312’s BSA – Tashie, Ange and Kei, for being the first people to personally greet me when the clock struck 12! (Match that with all of them dogpiling on me as I was laptopping on my bed, and Ange screaming: “Happy birthday, motherfucker!!!”) You guys are simply the best. Can’t imagine myself rooming with anybody else. :D

To Gella, my soulsis, for that “something faboulous.” Rest assured, I know you’re always backing me up, and I love you so much for that. ;)

To Myka, my hipsis, for EVERYTHING. You really are my bestest friend in Ateneo. (Awwwww!!!) Thanks for being my first driver of the day, for the rose (yes, I should be a girl on my 20^th birthday), for the whole Snickers cheesecake from Banapple (YUMMM!), for coordinating the Theo group surprise thingy, and for everything that I might be forgetting to mention. :p Can’t think of any other person that is so similar to me, yet still somehow different. I LOVE YOU. You know that ;)

To my Theo151 groupmates who were present yesterday – Myka, Rai, BJ and Nikka, yesterday was one of the very few Theo periods which I enjoyed (considering the food)! Thank you so much for the surprise (which I kinda had a feeling about, just a couple of minutes before Myka and BJ actually walked in with the cake haha). J

To April, for “hugging me like mad” as promised, and giving me the oh-so-colorful balloons! We still love each other! Wink wink*

To BJ, my cram-time partner-in-crime, for letting me drive Keira, his black 318i (as promised, like a year ago haha). :D You’re one of the few guys who’d actually trust me to drive their autos without hesitation. Cheers to more of utilitarianism, corny jokes and green moments! Nyahahaha! ;)

To Tashie and Wyson (my MA Buddy and my Bro, respectively), for the fluffy and sexy white pig in red bikinis. Haha. I still don’t know what to name it, but bottom line is, I love it. :D Hug!

To Kath, my Bene buddy, for being there last night! You’re presence really mattered. When I told you I wanted you there coz you’re one of my closest friends in AdMU, I meant it. Love you!

To Vallartz (my minion, joke!) and Kath, for the evil pink pig. I love it. It is now part of my growing stuffed pig farm. You guys are the best, there’s never a dull moment with you around! :D

To Wyson, my Bro, for driving around with me for around 4 hours looking for the damn pins (on Jan 23), for treating us to DQ after dinner, for being my last driver of the night, and for the corny sing-alongs. :p You really are the older brother I never had. You never fail to make me happy and laugh like hell, but please try to be nice the next time I go emo-mode. Hahahaha! Love you to bits! (In a purely platonic way, don’t get ideas. You’re not that in demand, you know. :p haha).

***

So, how does it feel to be 20?

Pretty much the same as 19. Kinda depressing because I’m not a teen anymore, but with all of YOU around, I’d have to say…

It feels GREAT, I wish I’d turn 20 everyday. :D

Telling me I need u in my life
Every time I try to go
Somethin' keeps tellin' me that, me that
Everything gon' be alright
Every time I try to leave
Something keeps pullin' me back, me back
Telling me I need u in my life
It was meant to be
You were meant for me
So that means we gotta make it work..."

and this isnt even just about a person. i mean, it's not specifically for someone. it's always been hard for me to leave anything behind :(

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 14:24:45 GMT

a couple of weeks back, someone told me that i'm a guy's perfect bestfriend.

apparently i "tell it like it is, unlike most girls" (something about being frank and speaking my mind most of the time), i have this "unbelievable car obsession" and i "eat like a guy." (i'm guessing this is quantity-wise, considering that this person has been witnessing my usual dinner pig-outs haha). all this equals: THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR A GUY'S BESTFRIEND.

honestly, i don't know if i should take this as a compliment or i should start getting scared. :p oh well, i'm obviously not complaining and it's not like i'm not enjoying the company of my close guy friends. hehe. it's just that having someone tell me face to face that i'm "a guy's perfect bestfriend" just got a lot of thoughts running through my head.
***

those are the exact reasons why i'd rather be friends with guys. i'm sorry, that's just not my crowd. seriously, i'd rather be a loner than conform. jeez. could you all just please tell it like it is and don't meddle in other people's businesses?! i mean what the hell's in it for you guys?! i don't get it.
***

can i just say, CHOWKING LA VISTA = LOVE.
the past week, i've been eating most of my meals there and my tummy has never been this satisfied with katipunan fast food. :D whoever decided to open a chowking branch at petron la vista is an angel.

speaking of, we had some sort of SBE reunion last thursday night at (you guessed it) chowking la vista. although myka and i admitted to having abused jace's kindness that night, props for jace for paying for EVERYTHING (literally) we ordered. for christ's sake, it looked like 6 people were gonna eat all the food on our table when in reality we were just 3. hahaha!

for some weird reason, i have this feeling that i'm gonna start living in that place till i graduate from MA. :p

xmas wishlist '07

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 16:36:41 GMT

There’s officially 20 days before Christmas, everybody!

Since some friends and family members have been asking me what I wanted for Christmas, I’m gonna spare everyone the complexity of finding the perfect gift for a crazy little girl like me. Contrary to popular belief, I’m not that hard to please, you know! :p

Therefore, I now present to you…

ANNE’S CHRISTMAS WISHLIST 2007

1. A pretty and decent 2008 planner

2. Red or maroon faux leather schoolbag

3. A pencilcase that isn't too bulky or too big

4. iPork (a new skin for my 2^nd Gen iPod Nano, available at Powerbooks and Fully Booked branches)

5. A|X shirts (size: small)

6. THAT shirt in Artwork, in red please. (c/o Anya, right? Hehehe.)

7. Penshoppe GCs

8. For those who get their gas in Shell: The Ferrari model collection. (except for the F50, coz someone already gave it to me.) ;)

9. A remote control die-cast car. :D (The Ferrari Enzo from Toy Kingdom will do).

10. Stuffed toys. (I’d love you more if they’re stuffed cars, stuffed pigs, stuffed fish or Taz – to make my collection bigger.) :D

11. When all else fails, just buy me FOOD. Any kind will do. You know me. Hehehe. ;)

So there. Now you know. As of this moment, “I didn’t know what to buy you eh…” and “I dunno what you want…” are NOT valid excuses! =P Come on. Make me happy, buy me a gift this Christmas. It's the season of giving! Mwah!

it's not what you know, it's who you tuck.

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:23:56 GMT

OMG! i can't wait for the 5th season of nip/tuck!!!! :D it airs tomorrow (oct 30) at 10 pm in the US.

apparently since macnamara/troy has moved to hollywood, a lot of surprises are on the way. from the season trailer, some of this season's guests are: tia carrere, jennifer coolidge and serena scott thomas.

and, can i just say: good god, CHRISTIAN TROY GETS HOTTER AND HOTTER EVERY SEASON. (julian mcmahon, i love you.)

crap!!! i'm so excited. :D for now, i guess im gonna rely on youtube for the first few episodes. hehehe. i hope some nip/tuck fan out there actually uploads! :D

woohoo!

Chilling. FINALLY. :D

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 07:45:12 GMT

For me, HELL SEM officially ended last Sunday at around 4:30 pm. I couldn’t have been any happier. I’m telling you, this has been the WORST, MOST HECTIC semester (academics/requirements-wise) in my whole Ateneo life.

Whoever said Junior Year is the hardest and Senior Year is just “chill” HAS A DEATH WISH. (I’m sure a lot of my batchmates would agree with me on this one. Hehehe.)

I barely had any decent sleep last week and most of my requirements were crammed (predictably). I broke down twice (yes, Anne does know how to cry) and kept on blaming my BAD cramming habits for all my hardships. Haha! Last Wednesday was the worst though. Alma paper (30%) doubled with Mendy final exam (that I honest to goodness knew NOTHING about, thanks to wi-fi , games and food that kept me busy during class time). Wednesday was no doubt “CRAM TIME CRUNCH TIME” day. (I really lived it up to the damn shirt that I wore the whole day, loud and proud! :p lol) I thought then that if I got through the day alive, I’d be fine. Until I realized that I wouldn’t be able to pass my POS 200 Research Proposal on the Saturday deadline, so I had to extend my hell week till Monday (or whenever I finished the damn thing--thank God I had already finished it on Sunday). And to think that by around Saturday, Eliazo was emptying out so I was getting really restless and irritated with the fact that I was one of those who were still there! Rarrr! Anyway…

GLAD IT IS FINALLY OVER.

and

I WILL TRY MY BEST NOT TO CRAM NEXT SEM. PROMISE!!!

(Should’ve goddamn learned my lesson by now. Lol!)

Grades? Let’s not worry about them for now. I’m just crossing my fingers that they’re all pretty decent. HOPEFULLY. Right now, I need to relax!!! Hehehe. I know I deserve it. :D

THE death march.

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:37:00 GMT

Yesterday was a terrible beginning to the HELL-EST week of my entire college life (so far).

Despite my brimming motivation last Saturday afternoon, (heck I even made a masterplan of how I'm going to cope with this week's requirements) everything started going down the drain yesterday... I'm running out of gas, man. :(

What I have yet to work on/study for:

For Monday: Theo141 Group Paper
For Tuesday: Philo 103 Oral Exam
For Wednesday: POS163 Final Critique + POS 200 Exam (God, help me!)
For Thursday: Theo141 Oral Exam
For Friday: POS 160 Take Home Final Exam
For Saturday: POS 200 Final Thesis Proposal + Revised POS 240 Research Paper (Good Lord!)

I'm literally GONNA DIE with huge, black eyebags.

Instead of going on a roll yesterday, my skewed priorities fucked up the beginning of my worst week ever.

Woke up early and started on my Theo reflection paper. Got dragged to walk around Ateneo by Myka, looking for an open Figaro to get ourselves "pudding with vanilla sauce" but to no avail. While walking back to the dorm, realized that perhaps we should go out and get dessert somewhere [Note: TH 141 PAPER ON PAUSE.] After lunch, drove off with Myka to the ClubSixFifty compound in Libis to eat cake at a place there, but what we wanted was not available, so we went all the way around to Banapple (along Katip) and finally satisfied ourselves with GREAT cheesecake (and a damn cute guy hihi) there. Got back to the dorm at around 230pm, in time to fast break my Theo reflection paper. Upon finishing it at around 340pm, left for mass with Aeli and Myka then got back to the dorm at around 5ish (in time for my Th141 group meeting at 530.) and i realized that I REFLECTED ON THE DAMN IMMERSION INSTEAD OF THE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE SO I STILL HAVE TO REFINE MY WORK. (Rarr)! Went to Starbucks Corinthians with BJ, Kath and Rizsa. Did nothing but bash a certain "someone" online for being the worst groupmate ever. At around 7 or 8ish after Kath left for home, dropped Rizsa all the way back to her dorm in Katip (much to BJ's and my delight lol) then had dinner at Chowking Shell C5 with BJ (what the fuck is wrong with me and going all around C5 and wasting people's gas just to get food?!) before going back to Starbs and spending the rest of the night there. obviously nothing TOO productive happened. we didn't finish the damn paper as expected, and i stayed up till 430 this morning working on the goddamn theological reflection part. TALK ABOUT A BAD START TO MY WEEK.

i shall blame my downfall for my stupid skewed priorities.

Lord, give me strength to get through this awful week.

ONE BIG FIGHT!!!

if others can, so can i!

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 01:12:57 GMT

i've been on a roll since i woke up this morning.

i have a double spaced, 15-page research paper for advanced IR class due tomorrow, and im only one page, single spaced down (that's just the intro, so i guess im doing well. 6 more pages to go haha).

at first it was just the "Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in a Realist Lens" but now, it is... (drumroll please)

Stephen Walt's "Balance of Threat Theory" and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

of course, my analysis of the issue still rests on the realist lens, but with specifics on defensive realism and balance of threat theory.

someone once told me that despite my incessant cramming and procrastinating i'm "very much capable of leveling with [others]."

damn right i am. i've stepped on the gas pedal already, and im running beyond 60. i got something to prove. ;)

the morning after.

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:42:01 GMT

First of all...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VALLARTZ!!! :)

Thanks for the dinner last night, the moment I got to the dorm, I turned on my laptop then fell asleep. Nyahahahaha. I was so FULL and so TIRED that it was around 540am already when I woke up. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that the other people you invited for dinner (who also have piggy-tendencies) didn't go with us! :p
***

My 2 favorite classes this sem (POS163 and TH141) came to an end yesterday. boo! :( (Okay fine, Theo isn't officially done cz we still have the Bobby Guevarra lecture this Thursday, but Harvey gave us his parting words already.) Can i just say that these are the only 2 classes that i've been taking seriously (aside from pos240) this sem? Lol.

We had Yellow Cab courtesy of Ma'am Salvador in pos163 class, after our presentation which we CRAMMED to the nth level. The first half of Monday night we spent at Wys' place (no, we spent it in NAGA. nyahahaha! wink*), and while Cha, Kei and April worked on other papers/requirements, I was struggling my way through the stupid IRR of the Naga ordinance thingy and the other materials our contact sent us. Went to Kei's place at around midnight, "worked" then walked to McDo with April at around 2am. Whatever, the point is that: WE HAD HUGE GAPS IN OUR DATA cz all we did was phone interview!!! Add to it the fact that Alma was expecting so much from us, considering that she allowed us to postpone our presentation for a week!

But hey, in the end WE PULLED IT OFF! :D (after all, how have i been surviving ab-ma for the whole sem??? :p)

We were all super sleepy, tired and stressed, but i could say that it was all worth it!
***

Lately, i've been irrationally jealous of someone. i guess it's an only child thing, dammit. :( but things have proven themselves time and time again and i think that subconsciously its still mine. or so i'd like to think. :p
***

sometimes, you're not even worth it. i'm sorry, it's probably just one of those days...
***

snixie's being so abused lately, i feel so bad for her. :( i've been bringing her everywhere and different people have been bonding with her... i dunno, i just feel bad.

don't worry, baby. sembreak's soon! you'll get ur well deserved rest. :D

Bleh! :p

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:43:14 GMT

it just feels GREAT knowing that so many people would die to be in your shoes... even for just a day.

*pops collar, wipes dust off shoulder*

sorry, life can't always be fair.

;D

whattaday!!!

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:54:39 GMT

good god, i've been up and out for the past 12 hours or so!!! i'm really tired but hey, i think it was all worth it! :p

got up a little earlier than usual, got my stuff ready, then went to pos163 class from 1030-12. after pos163, cha and i headed to kei's place so we could do our phone interview with that person from the naga city people's council (ncpc), cz we're reporting on in on tue. (btw, alma salvador's expecting A LOT from us, so we better pull it off with a bang hahaha). goodluck to us, we can do this! lol

after that, cha and i had lunch at kfc and on such SHORT notice decided to watch the Ateneo-La Salle game at 3:00pm in Araneta Coliseum despite our theo report on encyclicals at 4:30, thanks to a really evil "bad influence" who goes by the name of bj cruz. (sorry tabz, i'm really blaming this on you. hahaha.) we tried to look for tickets everywhere and decided to go back to eliazo. ate tonette (the guard), sent us all the way to the covcourts guard who supposedly sold tickets (more like scalped), but when we got there, he was selling us upper B tix for p250! i mean cummon, it wasn't worth it cz we weren't even gonna finish the damn game. if he wasn't gonna sell them for p200 each, we were gonna forego the game but guess what? as we were about to leave, a janitor comes by and drops 2 GenAd tix for p50 each!!! all the signs were pointing for us to go, so we bought the tix, rushed back to the dorm and changed into our most-Atenean shirts. (i wore my "i'm racing for ateneo shirt" --> cha: "san karera?" and cha borrowed my partido agila shirt... anne: "it has an eagle, equals blue eagle. it works, cha! promise!!!") Lol.

then the trike stand was jampacked, so we got a trike to ministop from Rizal Lib (smart smart people. hehe). then, at the train station (btw im still confused about whether it's called the LRT-2 or the MRT lol), the line for tickets was uber-long so cha decided to waste the extra 2 pesos and get tickets to Recto from the shorter queue. Then while we were there, another line opened for Cubao, which made our lives easier. (THE WORLD WAS CONSPIRING TO GET US TO THE DAMN GAME!) So we got to Araneta, and sat next to Babble (which was actually cool despite all the jologs in GenAd, jeez, they look like they're out to get you or steal from you or something haha). We were like screaming on top of our lungs (considering that we were literally on top of the damn coliseum lol), and feeling the Ateneo vibe (btw, this is Cha's and my 2nd UAAP game EVER, the 1st being the AdMU-DLSU game last week, which we lost).

Sucks for us though cz we had to leave at around 3:45 so we could catch our Theo presentation at 4:30. We were THIS close to voluntarily getting minuses just so we could finish the game live. I mean we were already there, right??? ("Beeeeejjjj, di ba kaya admu if we leave at 4??" "Sure ka?" "We just got here, 1st quarter hasn't even ended!!!" "Cge, in 10 mins." Hahaha. And at around 4-ish: "Anne! Tara!" Lol.) Anyway, we ended up leaving after 3 plays in 2nd quarter, which by the way was a struggle, we had to go all the way around to the LaSalle side to get out of Araneta. Haha. it was kinda traffic so we called everyone that could possibly stall for us! lol. but then, bj awakened the racerboy in him and despite the fact that it was "madulas (the road, cz it was raining) and malaki" (the damn fortuner) *tsk tsk dirty minds hahahaha*, we made it to admu in time for our presentation (looking so much like we were just at Araneta with the Ateneo shirts and all haha).

can i just say though... GO ATENEO!!! never been this proud of my damn university!!! woohoo! we gonna beat DLSU again on sunday and make it to finals next week! ;)

anyway, had to go to philo class after theo till 730. was supposed to go to dinner with gella after class, but then again wys texted asking if i could help him with french (i did promise to help him out for his french orals the next day), so we hung out at the smocket for an hour or so, then he dropped me off at 7/11 so i could meet up with ebzie and aeli and have my second dinner. (i LOVE eating. woohoo!) hung out there for a while then finally got back to the dorm at around 10:15.

whattaday, im telling you. and i still can't get over our victory over LaSalle. i should've damn been there. what kills is that i was already there but had to leave for damn theo!!! rarrrrr!!!!

GO ATENEO!!! We can do this!!! ONE BIG FIGHT!!! :D

u amuse me. ;)

Funny how you get close to some people long after you've met and physically hung out. It's kinda weird but it feels great in a weird twisted manner... Just like that text I got last night. Hihihihi :D

Look who's having withdrawal symptoms. That's the "Anne-effect on people" for you ;) YOU just can't fight it... oh yeah! :p whehehe!!! :p

My old sim card took a tragic turn. Boo! It died last Thursday, never to see the light of day (or the Globe network for that matter) EVER AGAIN. But then again sometimes moving on is better than dwelling in the past.

Which I did. I'm not just trying to convince myself anymore. I KNOW i've moved on. :D I've tried and tested it.

***

I must get tickets to the Ateneo-La Salle game this Thursday. I'm not jinx anymore! I watched the last 2 quarters of the AdMU-UST game yesterday and WE WON!!! Woohoo!!! :D

it's time...

... to step on the gas pedal. can't stay at 60 forever if i wanna reach my dream. (1 more sem after this one for the damn undergrad diploma, anne. you can do it! :D woot woot!)

... to make you go away. seriously, you have to stay away from me. just do what i say!

... to cram. it's crunch time, all the time, baby! (wahhhh, panic mode for reports, interviews, presentations, papers, etc etc. please dont let me expound as im starting to have trouble breathing)

... to make lifechanging decisions. to law school after MA or not to law school?

... i stop being boy-crazy (fine, not completely stop, but lessen it at least. :p lol) i should be focusing my energy on something more productive that actually yields results.

... i posted this so i could continue reading sparknotes for elie wiesel's night (damn philo! argh!)

later.

amusing thoughts...

You Should Drive a Ferrari

Sleek and sexy, style has a lot of importance in your life. And you'll pay a lot to look good!

What Sports Car Should You Drive?

damn right!

You Should Drive a Red Car

You're the type of driver who isn't afraid to be the fastest on the road.
You have a lot of energy built up, and you tend to get your adrenaline fix from driving.
Moving at hyper speed, you tend to be annoyed with slow drivers and slow people.
Life's too short to be slowed down by someone else!

What Color Car Should You Drive?

http://www.dieselstation.com/wallpapers/albums/Photographers/SpdKilz/SpdKilz-001.jpg

hot car, right? and great view. :D you zoom out a little and you get...

http://www.dieselstation.com/wallpapers/albums/Photographers/SpdKilz/SpdKilz-003.jpg

for a few minutes there, i felt that the view was familiar.
then it dawned onto me.
OF COURSE it is.
THAT'S CHI-TOWN!!!
that's the Sears Tower on the left, John Hancock on the right, and that building with the distinct diamond? that's exactly beside the Consulate.

Good job SpdKilz!!! (the photographer's name) :p
you made my night!!!

CHICAGO, I MISS YOU!!! :D

as usual, im procrastinating.

i mean cummon, cut me some slack. for most of the weekend, i had to study for my philo orals (which i had this morning). they went ok, i guess. at least i didn't get thesis 3, cz i really don't get the mysterium tremendum crap... i mean i do get it, it's just that i can't explain that damn thesis. :p
***

for the one and only class i have tomorrow, i need to prepare a presentation, handouts for that presentation and a reflection paper on 3 readings - 2 of which i haven't even read yet. (one of them's for my presentation so i really NEED to read it. haha.) thank god for people like me, who are willing to split the readings and exchange summaries to survive. lol! :D
***

i have this goddamn cold, and it's making me sooooo lazy. i just wanna sleep now, BUT i. must. work.
***

three things that will always make my day:

1) cars.
2) boys.
3) food.

combine all three for me, and i'll love you forever! :D
***

this storm better be strong enough to cancel tomorrow's classes!!! argh!

Someone. Kill. Me. Now.

Stuff like this should be illegal. Seriously.

Wah!!! I can't even think straight now. Great, thank you sooooo much. But I love you for all that you said. It's deadly by itself, but I can't help but admit that you made my night [not to mention my day earlier too].

HUG! :D
