wow, isang Tagalog na post. pano ba naman kasi, ngayon lang ako nag-explore dito sa wordpress, at nalaman kong may homepage para sa mga taong gumagamit ng Tagalog. so ayun, grabe ah yung ibang natignan ko e mga taga-UP. at sabi nung isa, sobrang hirap daw. aba, syempre, ano ba naman kasi ang course niya, BS MATH. hello? yung pinsan kong valedictorian e, BS Math rin sa UP, at pagpumupunta siya dito, tinuturuan niya ako. napakaswerte ko nung third year dahil naturuan niya ako sa assignment ko!
so yun nga, related rin naman sa akin ‘to ano. kasi mataas ang pangarap ko kaya balak kong magtransfer sa UP para naman talagang maganda ang matanggap kong edukasyon. tsaka since hindi na nga ako tutuloy sa pagdodoktor, e wala nang dahilan upang magtagal sa UST na napakalayo sa kinonsider ko lang dahil maganda ang med school rin nila doon. so yun, tapos na, hindi na nga ako magdodoctor. so, dito na lang ako sa malapit. ayoko naman sa ateneo no dahil mahal at mayayaman ang mga nag-aaral dun at pakitaan lang yun ng bagong havaianas at kung may macbook ba kayo o wala. pero syempre, hindi naman lahat diba? so yun wag kayong magalit sa akin kasi yung iba totoo naman.
tsaka nga pala, wala pa kasi ang kuya, ate at mommy ko kaya nandito pa rin ako sa harap ng computer at walang magawa at makausap.
anyway, itutuloy ko na.. sana lang makayanan ko ang UP (haha! ang feeling talaga.. wala pa nga e) kasi nga mahirap. pero para sa linya ng aking gugustuhing trabaho, maganda nga na mag-aral ako sa UP dahil kailangan mong makisama sa maraming tao, sumakay ng jeep (na hindi ko talaga ginagawa), at maglakad papunta sa iba’t ibang buildings. at kung anu-ano pa. kaya naman kung independence rin lang ang gusto mo, dun ka dapat.
ewan ko lang kung makakatransfer ako. kung hindi, siguro nagustuhan ko ang mga tao sa UST, nagkaboyfriend ako (haha as if talaga!), okay ang mga orgs (as of now, tatlo ang orgs na pwede kong pasukin)(pero wag na lang dahil kailangan kong magfocus sa studies), o tinatamad mag-aral (dahil okay lang at siguradong makakahinga ako sa mga subjects). hehe ang yabang ng dating ko. pasensya na.. di hamak namang magaganda at mahihirap ang subjects sa UP kaysa sa UST diba? ay naku! masama pa lang magkumpara! patawarin patawarin!
yay! eto ang first tagalog entry ko. haha! iba na talaga..
As I have mentioned before on a previous blog, the book Stardust by Neil Gaiman is now a movie! I have now seen the 30 production pictures and the trailer, and in a way got disappointed because of some characters and the architectural structure (hehe, i don’t know if i’m saying this correctly) of the Village. They also added some characters which are not included in the book if i’m not mistaken. But i’m not yet too sure. So i have to read Stardust again. =)
Probably before finishing Love in the Time of Cholera or after finishing it, I would then read Stardust. Another reason not to continue reading, Love in the Time of Cholera! Haha!

before i totally finish Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Anyway, I was partly influenced by my friend Hanna and also the movie Serendipity. I don’t read it religiously that’s why it took me six months to finish it. Well, a chapter of the book takes me approximately 3 whole days to finish (note: i need whole days to finish it). So because of school, i finish a chapter at about 2-4 weeks. 
I’m actually not that slow when it comes to reading novels, but to be able to really finish it in 2 days-1 week, the book must be of my taste. But you know, i’m really happy that I am close to finishing the novel! Yay!
Actually, there are several books I have started reading even before I started Love in the Time of Cholera. I have 2 plays more to finish in this book, The Importance of Being Earnest and four other plays of Oscar Wilde. I also have started Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie, Les Miserables of Victor Hugo, the unabridged version of the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, and Oliver Twist by Dickens. I bought all those before Love in the Time of Cholera.
And in between reading the book, I have finished reading Mandy by Julie Andrews Edwards! *sigh* Anyway.. one long chapter to go..
I’m going to buy Persuasion by Jane Austen because it was mentioned in the movie, the Lake House. But i’m having a hard time looking for it in bookstores though.
Oh yeah, I also have series here that I haven’t completed yet. I have the two books of Tales of the Nine Charms, another two books of Bruce coville’s The Unicorn Chronicles, i think these two series are a trilogy, and i don’t have the last book. perhaps, because they aren’t available yet. i have one book of The Dark is Rising Sequence. And I also want to complete the books of Alexander McCall Smith! *sigh*
Books are Love.

i was too lazy to write for the past few days even though i have something to share. =) although i know i shouldn’t force myself to write everyday (haha! this is my blog anyway) i just wanted to write something to let you now i’m still alive!
well, i’ve forgotten mostly what to write but maybe while i keep this going on i’ll eventually remember.
my family is not very close to our other relatives (extended family). partly because we don’t live next/near to any of them. but we have a cousin here who’s just a tricycle away! haha! we’re not close but we do talk and share some things with each other (meaning, he and my family, not only me!).
maybe when we’re all old enough to support our own selves, we’ll surely have family reunions which are far far better. also, we’ll know how to respect each other as cousins/siblings unlike the older generation.
i’m not sure of the reunions but if ever they can afford to go wherever i am at, then i’ll prepare a sumptuous and healthy feast of seafood, fish, vegetables and fruits! wow, what a total get away from the city..
i’m not yet totally sure of where i would be ending up as someone who has an evironment-related job. but i know i would be writing, documenting and experimenting or getting samples from wet, sticky, muddy places! haha! but for now, for this present school year, i have goals to achieve because i know where i should go. after a school year i would be transferring somewhere to get the best possible education for my course, and to prepare me for independence, especially when i’m already living and working on my own. i know my line of work so i’m so excited because that school will be presenting to me a very valuable experience to prepare me for my work. *breathes in*
so it’s not that i already have a plan for my whole life, i’ll just take this one step by step. =) and also, i still have doubts about my job. haha! but it’s inevitable anyway in any field. i feel lucky that i have biology as my course because i’m still on the right track.
on another note, i am happy to say that there are lots of people who are very much interested and concerned about the growing issues of our environment. well, i’m leaving another link to my blogroll, go see “treehug”. it’s a one-stop site about anything green. i have to be like a sponge again so that i’ll know at least something about climate change. i’ve been reading a lot of articles related to it but i wish i could remember all by heart. <3

Do you know Bryce Dallas Howard? Since i saw The Village, i thought Howard was a male even though i saw on our tv screen “Starring Bryce Dallas Howard” whom i suspect, is a newbie (hello? i know the blind girl was the only lead newbie in the movie). And then, in Spiderman 3, forgetting The Village, i thought Howard was the Sandman. and by the time i was able to read again my past issues of some magazine, there was this funny and surprising line that greeted my eyes… Bryce Dallas Howard will be playing the role of Gwen Stacy.. WOW. i am so surprised! she was on the thin side when she starred in The Village. and then Spiderman 3 came, and woah.. she was curvy and sexy! (am i beginning to sound like a lesbian? oh no!) really now, i wasn’t able to recognize her except for her beautiful eyes. =) maybe at the production of spiderman 3 she was pregnant because she just gave birth to her first baby last february 20o7 (well, according to imdb). she’s very beautiful and so talented! she has great projects too! i’m going to look for Manderlay and wait for The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.
this is her in manderlay =)

Problems in Wet market in Manila
i just realized last night that there are certain situations in life that force one’s character/personality/view of life and people to change. mostly, people think of going to the darker path. create their own bubble away from people and away from their families. formulate plans to get away… just to get away. it’s not that they’re running away from their problems. it’s just that, their new lifestyle avoids having problems. problems specifically with people. they wanted to avoid problems they have had before. 
you probably won’t understand the paragraph above. well, it’s poorly discussed anyway so don’t bother 
.
this is what we call LIFE. there really are situations that try to change us in a way. although it’s saddening, you have to think twice or let sleep change your mind. you know who you are. you know you can be happy.
it’s just plain stupid to try and explain haha! =)
anyway, i’ve been reading some articles related to the Green Philippines Program. Also, i have read the 5 Ways You Can Help Protect Whales (see my blogroll). as of now, i can’t do something about it. But i read somewhere that prevention starts with awareness. it’s a lame excuse for not doing anything yet. haha! thank you Sunday Inquirer! yes, i’ve learned the Clinton Climate Initiative. Nice one! We’re spending billions just to provide ways in tackling climate change! Yahoo! Well at least it’s getting started this year (?) not yet sure.. At least not a decade after. =)
I still have lots to read, especially about the Philippines’ status, because i know i need the knowledge in the future. you know, my plans..
Read Inquirer today!

i woke up with a toothache. it sucks because everytime i wear my retainers again, another tooth aches (haha, did i wrote that correctly?). well, both are affected by this lower tooth. i guess i need to wear braces for my lower teeth eh? ouch ouch. so i just decided that i had to wear my retainers day and night because that damned lower tooth might affect the alignment of my upper teeth. ouch ouch.
well, i said on a previous entry that i’m actually not allowed to talk or ask questions in this household. i do not talk trash if that’s what you think. but anyway, since i read books a lot, i get some enlightening advice and thoughts from it. so i try to share it with my family. but you know, my sister says that if i don’t clean the house well, i’m not in the right position to share these things. much like how my father thinks, if you haven’t reached anything, you have no right to speak! such narrow-mindedness. sorry sis, i didn’t major in cleaning.
so that’s that. i have to rest because i don’t feel well again, and a headache’s added to my list of “aches”.
sometimes, the rainy season can be scary especially when it’s becoming too violent. but i still love the strong and cool wind <3.
i have a tag page already! leave me a message. or if you rather want to leave me a private one (yihieeee.. ) go to the contact page.
Thanks!
it’s unusually dark outside. well, the rainy season’s coming and it marks the end of sunny summer.
my head throbs with pain, using the computer for the whole day is becoming soooo unhealthy for me.
