happy new year! well, its not really the start of the new year but it's just now that I had the time to update my blog or do anything at all.
Anyway, spent my Christmas vacation in Cagayan de Oro. During the first week, we went to different places. we went to the caves, to Bukidnon, to Duka bay and lastly we went rafting! It was fun, fun and fun! after my uncle and my aunt went back home, i spent the remaining 1 week helping out my aunt with the business. each night that i got home, i really, really need a bath! and that means 2 times with the soap just to get the smell or stench out. nag amuy sibuyas, bawang, banana blossom, chlorine, tawas and paminta ako!!! wah! but it was fun! :D
of course, my stay there didn't have to be boring even though there is no time to use the computer, surf the net or watch tv. At night, before i go to bed, i have a book with me. Anyway, it didn't have to be boring because i have this series of shopping sprees. :D i had only 2 actually. :D
So when i went there, i only brought a duffel bag or an over night bag for my clothes. but when i went back here last jan 5, my clothes were a duffel bag and a mandarin orange box! haha :P And from my usual 2 phones, i brought home 3! hehe, so it was a Happy Christmas and a happy new year! :D
To share the experience with you, please go to my multiply for my pictures! :D thanks!
and now, its back to school and reading manga :P

the more I don't understand
Now that Christmas break is about to start (because today is dooms day number uncountable), I now have enough time to watch my series, shop and read manga. I watched Da Capo, although I'm not yet done with it.
And there's something I can't understand again. Not that I have understood it already, but it just came back to haunt my thoughts.
Why is it that most men are insensitive about women's feelings or why do they turn a blind eye towards it so that the gals "won't get hurt"? In Da Capo, this girl Kotori did everything for the main guy because she likes him. Not that she wants something in return, but she did all that because she loves him and she wants him to be safe and healthy. Since he was an irresponsible guy, she passes by his house to cook him food, clean his house, do his laundry etc. But then, when this guy's "sister" (orphaned by his family but not really blood related and has become his lover) returned from college, he wents back chasing this girl. Now, Kotori, the girl who was by his side while his sister was away, is now being shunned. Not in the sense of a cold shoulder, but in the sense that she wasn't that much entertained already by the guy. She understood. But because she loves the guy, she can't help but to get hurt. She sacrifices stuff, like fun, for her not to cause any problems for the guy. She says that seeing him happy makes him happy.
Now, the thing I don't really understand is that why do guys, even though they know that the girl likes them already, still persist on making her his "friend". Do they think that it is the best way in order not to hurt the girls? Or sometimes, they ignore them. Do they think that not confronting the problem is the best way to solve things? Why don't they just say it directly and let the girl decide what she wants to do with the situation?
Hay... nevermind this post. :P

munchkin!
hey, after a long time of not posting any entries and not hearing from me, im finally back! with really nothing that interesting to talk about sadly... haha!
anyway, my life has been nothing but smooth... although i may have a few set backs in my acads, i am still hanging on to my course. enjoying it actually. :) of course, i have my friends to thank for most of the fun encountered in school (look in my multiply account to check out the pictures) and of course my life, my light, my munchkin. :D
so anyway, what else is there to say? a! my fiction! i guess i can't continue writing it anymore... first of all, i don't have any time at all to update it. and secondly and i think what's most important in writing a fiction or anything at all, i can't let my imagination run loose like the way it did in the past. i've lost all inspiration to contunue writing it... first i had the perfect plot, the perfect twist and the happily ever after ending that every reader wants to read even though it never happens in reality, but hey, that's what they want, don't we all? we just want to dream a bit, read what's missing in our lives and as for me, write about what my dreams are... anyway, but as it goes on i've lost track of the actual plot, the twist became more twisted and truthfully, i find it dull and very weird even for me! haha! and i can't change it already because i have forgotten what i really want in the first place. so for those people who read my second fic, i'm sorry but i just can't continue it. because there's nothing missing in my life that i want to write about. and most of my dreams have been fulfilled. :D
so what else is there to say? oh yeah, 4 weeks of summer vacation... mine? fully booked! 3 weeks still spent in school with 3 and a half hours locked up in air conditioned rooms. haha! i wouldn't really consider it unlucky because outside the temperature reaches up until 36 to 37 degrees! burning! then before dinnertime i go to the gym when there's no class like tomorrow, i go to the gym in the morning. then i guess after may 17, which is our finals in summer term and my death call because i will be taking MECATWO and STRENTH successively with 30 minutes in between, i will be enrolled in a driving school to get my liscence before the term starts. and i still haven't gone to my pastport interview! wah!
so as you can see, i'm kinda busy busy busy!
ja ne!

trust
after 6 years of not minding this topic, it finally came back to haunt me... "TRUST".
some people may think what's wrong with it, what's the problem with it? if a person is your friend, you should trust him and if this person is a special someone, the more that you should trust him! right? i have nothing against the special someone, i know that this person is special to you mainly because you trust him enough to want to spend your life with him. but here's the thing, what about friends?
there are also different kind of friends, some friends that you have known for life and others for a short while maybe a year or two or even a bit more than that. i have no problem trusting old friends, friends that i have known for almost all my life... but here's the thing, what about new friends? of course some people i learned how to trust, almost too quickly because they earned my trust in that way.
but there are some people who earned my trust but right now, extinguishing it slowly. in short, after being with them for more than two years, i'm starting to doubt and i honestly say that i am confused right now. maybe all these things that are happening right now are just starting to get to my nerves... opening up the part of me who doesn't easily welcome people into my life, who always have a hard time to trust people and doubt almost everyone.
so, tust, is it something that i really need? is it important to friendship and all other relationship between two people? i think yes but what do i know? i'm only human after all.

Christmas
my holidays have never been this good! have a very merry Christmas indeed, and no, there is no mark of sarcasm.
last night, i laid a cushion outside our room and stayed there for about thirty(30) minutes or so looking at the night sky filled with stars. we usually do this in DLSU, sa ampi. and we get to see a lot of shooting stars. last night i saw one... a red one. it was short but i made my wish. and then i thought about what Mrs. Ang, our LITERA1 prof told us when we read "Dead Stars" by Paz Marquez i think... half of the stars we see at night are already dead. they twinkle or shed light to us because it takes light years for the light to reach our planet. then i thought what it has to do with me and everything that's happening around me at that time...
and then i thought, nothing... i didn't need to be dead to shed light to others, i didn't need to be dead or take up a long time before i can make others smile. i just needed to be me right now... and i know i am going nowhere with this. but the bottom line is, i realized how nice it is to be alive and to be with someone other than myself.

hating hamburgers
you know what i hate the most?! it's frozen hamburgers and a dull knife!
this morning i was preparing my lunch and my breakfast. i thought about cooking some burgers for lunch and i took it out to thaw for awhile and got the dullest knife around. the knife can't even chop a calamansi into two so i was quite confident that it was too dull to cut my skin up...
carelessly, it slipped and cut my left pinkie! and the whole day, i have spent 6 band aids to wrap it up. yep, it's gruesome and definitely painful! the first thing i did when i realized that i have cut myself was to stare at it and weakened. i am afraid of seeing cuts and blood coming out of my skin! or even others... then after a minute of shock, i was walking aroung the kitchen saying "oh my gosh oh my gosh" over and over again holding my pinkie up. i thought that it might come off because the cut was so deep. when i finally thought of cleaning it up, i washed it for around 2 seconds and wrapped it up in a band aid already. ok, stupid me... i don't know any first aid so i panicked!
when i got to school, everyone was just telling me how i should have acted and then again, i was in shock and i was panicking... i also have my weaknesses, and so i admit, i need a keeper... i went to the clinic to have it cleaned after lunch... betadine wasn't supposed to hurt much but tears were welling up on my eyes when i got out... it really hurts!
so here i am with a spongebob squarepants band aid to cover up the gruesome cut... hope it closes up soon! i don't want to see it everytime i need to change the band aid...

told post
i was feeling kind of down last saturday night and i texted 2 dear friends of mine about it... well, the other one, JM, was new to this situation i guess... he didn't really know the details but here comes mama Tep. I know she's so used to this rants of mine that all she asked me to do was to write about it in my blog... so here it is.
i was channel surfing that night and since it is a saturday, all usual tv series are not on. so i tuned in to hbo, cinemax and star movies hoping to stumble upon a movie that would keep my interest up. and the channel stopped at star movies. the movie was just starting but i know what it is... not because i've seen it in commercials but because somehow, it became a very memorable movie for me. it was 'guess who' staring ashton kutcher and bernie mac.
trust me, i tried changing the channel to prevent me from remembering stuff but i couldn't! i couldn't just log out of the television set nor the channel and the movie. i was hooked. so after the movie, i really tried to stay strong but broke down instead...
i am moving on... trust me i am. but sometimes it's just hard to just let go of everything especially when everything meant something to you... the way i treasured every moment and every second of it certainly might have meant something FOR me. that's it really... so i'm sorry...
crying is useless... it didn;t bring me any good then and it won't bring me any good now...

rest and relaxation...
have you ever heard of the phrase "r and r"??? no, i don't mean read and review just like in my fictions... it's all about rest and relaxation.
lately i have been bombarded with non-stop assignments, tests and 'needed' attendance on meetings and pictorials. to top it all up, oct 7 and today i spent my saturdays in school as well for orient2. 2 saturdays of business attire and semi-formal. it's ok i guess... even though i know i have thrown away 4 quizzes down the drain already just to catch up on my 'r&r' for a day or two... heck! last monday we had 4 quizzes in one day! 2 25% quizzes for engcomp (1 lab and 1 lecture), 1 20% quiz for litera1 and a hundred percent 3 item quiz for mecatwo. i was in school until 0745 in the evening taking my mecatwo test... it's actually supposed to be until 0900 but i finished the exam in 45 minutes simply because i was drained to the bone! then tuesday we were supposed to have two quizzes but both were cancelled and then materials lab. thursday was our test for elecone and 2 labs followed... lbyece1 and our mach lab! lathe machines... haha! i'm having so much fun with the lathe machine and i think i'm almost done with my plumb bob (i don't know how it is spelled) but sadly, we don't have a lab next week... so for one more week, we are delayed again!!!
and luckily, my baby is all healed thanks to the medicine my dad gave me and mark's advice!
so, right now, there's no more orient2 for next saturday... no more quizzes scheduled for next week and i have nothing to look forward to except a full week to myself... rest and relaxation, i really need to catch up!

waiting for CROSS
i just can't stop thinking about James Patterson's Alex Cross series... it's been in my wishlist for almost more than a year now and basically, i have read every book released. in fact, i just finished reading Mary Mary last night... i can't stop it, what can i say? it's my addiction! anyway, here's the new thing, the latest chapter of the series... CROSS.
from the publisher:
"Alex Cross was a rising star in the Washington, DC, Police Department when an unknown shooter gunned down his wife, Maria, in front of him. The killer was never found, and the case turned cold, filed among the unsolved drive-bys in D.C.'s rough neighborhoods.
Years later, still haunted by his wife's death, Cross is making a bold move in his life. Now a free agent from the police and the FBI, he's set up practice as a psychologist once again. His life with Nana Mama, Damon, Jannie, and little Alex is finally getting in order. He even has a chance at a new love.
Then Cross's former partner, John Sampson, calls in a favor. He is tracking a serial rapist in Georgetown, one whose brutal modus operandi recalls a case Sampson and Cross worked together years earlier. When the case reveals a connection to Maria's death, Cross latches on for the most urgent and terrifying ride of his life.
From the man USA TODAY has called the "master of the genre," CROSS is the high-velocity thriller James Patterson and Alex Cross's fans have waited years to read--and the pinnacle of the bestselling detective series of the past two decades."
i can't wait for november! i just wish i can earn around 1000 big ones just in time to buy even the hard bound copy! can't wait!!!

nightmares
lately i have just been taking articles from the internet that have caught my attention. some information overload even for me. been reading books non stop actually, that's why there are a lot of things that had been introduced to me. but in reality, what has been happening in my life has nothing to do with the books that i'm reading or even the anime and series that i have been watching...
sem break is finally over as the clock reaches 0810 am tomorrow. i will be spending 3 more months sitting in a cramped classroom (although it is big) while letting the professor in front load my brain for the future that i have chosen, or so i believe. but every night, there are things that are strange and even i can't tell why they are happening... and these are my regular nightmares.
some people have good dreams... sweet fairytale like dreams... but mine are always nightmares. i find myself waking up in the middle of the night because of a bad dream. what are these nightmares? diffeerent kinds. sometimes it's just like in the book that i'm reading bad guys in killing sprees and are definitely psyhopaths, sometimes things that i have hidden from everyone else that are suddenly found and published for the whole world or at least all those i know to know what these are, sometimes someone just walking out of my life and sometimes fragments of what i have lost in the past...
so what are nightmares anyway? and why am i having them? according to http://www.dreammoods.com/ "The distinction of a nightmare is its frightening and/or emotional content. You tend to wake up in fear in the midst of a nightmare. Because of its frightening nature, you tend to remember your nightmares and the vivid details. They have a bigger impact upon your waking mind and its images stay with you throughout the day. One reason for nightmares may be a way of our unconscious to get our attention about a situation or problem that you have been avoiding. It is time to take notice and confront a problem or situation. Nightmares serve an important purpose in showing you what is troubling you from within you deeper levels. Discussing, analyzing, and understanding your nightmares can lead to a solution for some problem, internal conflict or personal difficulty. Having nightmares are normal, but a high frequency of nightmares can be a sign of being overwhelmed and excessive stress which should be dealt with. Nightmares can be an important resource for self-knowledge and emotional discovery. They convey an important message and help clear up the conflict in your life. it is important to distance yourself and work pass the emotional content (fear, grief, anger, etc.) of your nightmare and analyze it from an objective perspective. The disturbing emotions may be a way for your unconscious to prevent you from digging deep into the meaning of your nightmares. But it pays to try and make sense of those darker dreams. "
so, am i supposed to do this even though i don't really know what is bothering me???

full moon wo sagashite
Eternal Snow
I'm falling in love with you, and which will come to pass?
Will the feeling do nothing but swell, or
Will you notice it
Even though I've never said anything?
Like snow, but quietly
It continues to pile up
Hold me tight if I think like this
I didn't want to know
What it was like to fall in love with someone
I love you; my tears won't stop
Therefore, I should be free of you
How long will I keep thinking of you?
My sigh makes the window glass fog up
Now, a burning candle
Can't melt my shaking heart anymore?
Hold me tight, strong enough to break me
If we meet in a biting cold blizzard
I won't feel cold, and
I miss you everytime I think of you
This scarf that I knit for you
I'm holding it alone tonight
If there were an eternally falling snow
This feeling I have for you, could I hide it?
Hold me tight if I think like this
I didn't want to know
What it was like to fall in love with someone
I love you; my chest fills up
I want to cry out to the winter sky
I want to see you now
New Future
Just one thing doesn't change
That dream I painted
How did I appear as I am now
In my young eyes back then
Hey, look up at it, it's such a vast night sky
So that soon, so that you understand
You will shine at your best soon so hurry
Look for the FULL MOON
Let's sing a song!
Together forever Everything I can do for you right now
Day by day
Your destiny until now From tomorrow, clutch your hopes to your chest
Let's sing a song!
Together forever If I'm with you I can overcome any hardship
More and more
More and more and more I want to be closer Please stay right here
many thanks for you!
Wonderous chance meetings
As long as they keep happening
We have ever more precious things
All those days full of chance mischief
Now I can laugh and love them
That's right, I always yearned for the wide stage
Now I'm no longer alone
Everyone is full of smiles
Because this is where I am
Let's sing a song
Tonight, rather than the spotlight, it's me that will shine now
Day by day
Those passionate looks and cheers shine upon my streaming sweat
Let's sing a song
Tonight I want to believe there are never ending burning thoughts
More and more
More and more and more I want to scream this song, this dream will
never end
Myself
Why, oh why do I love you so much?
My tears overflow this much
Back in that time, there was so much to lose that I couldn't sing
anything
A place just a little ways away--That was where I was
That day, deep in your eyes, I saw the loneliness
Are the two of us really alike?
If I'd realized it, you were always by my side
Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings inside me so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
From afar, I realize it now
Like a lost child, crying and searching
But there was no such thing as forever
"It's okay if you don't believe in anyone" you whispered
Were the two of us really alike?
And I decided then I would protect you
Why can't I turn them to memories
You're too far, too near for me to reach
The more I tell myself "I will forget"
The larger you loom in my thoughts
Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings (inside me) so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
I realize it now from afar
Why do I love you so much?
It's so easy I just can't answer
Love Chronicle
why? I've completely forgotten how to love
meetings will come someday with the beginning of parting
somehow, I have decided upon that idea
you tied my loose shoe laces of my dirty sneakers
your shy smile suddenly shone in the sunlight
it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward
the two swear to the journey from now
that no matter what occurs, the two hands will never part
it's weird, the everyday landscape begin to seem special
the flowers, birds, and sea the wind, mountains, sweet sun
when everything shines and cuddles togetherhana
I found the last piece to the unsolvable jigsaw puzzle
your broad back protects me and I'll continue to follow you
for eternity
until now, I've took the longer way around but
I'm finally able to love straight-forward
the two will head to the dream of tomorrow
no matter what occurs, the gaze won't be shifted
it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward
the two will head to the dream of tomorrow
no matter what occurs, the gaze won't be shifted
it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward

daisy cutter
BLU-82B
The BLU-82B/C-130 weapon system, nicknamed Commando Vault in Vietnam and Daisy Cutter in Afghanistan, is a high altitude delivery of 15,000 pound conventional bomb, delivered from an MC-130 since it is far too heavy for the bomb racks on any bomber or attack aircraft. Originally designed to create an instant clearing in the jungle, it has been used in Afghanistan as an anti-personnel weapon and as an intimidation weapon because of its very large lethal radius (variously reported as 300-900 feet) combined with flash and sound visible at long distances. It is the largest conventional bomb in existence but is less than one thousandth the power of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.
Frequent press reports to the contrary, the Daisy Cutter is not a fuel-air explosive (FAE). It is a conventional explosive incorporating both agent and oxidizer. In contrast, an FAE consists only of agent and a dispersing mechanism, and takes its oxidizer from the oxygen in the air. FAEs generally run between 500 and 2000 pounds; it would be difficult to make an FAE the size of Daisy Cutter because the correct uniform mixture of agent with ambient air would be difficult to maintain if the agent were so widely dispersed. Thus, the conventional explosive technique of Daisy Cutter is more reliable than that of an FAE, particularly if there is significant wind or thermal gradient.
This system depends upon the accurate positioning of the aircraft by either a fixed ground radar or onboard navigation equipment. The ground radar controller, or aircrew navigator as applicable, is responsible for positioning the aircraft prior to final countdown and release. Primary aircrew considerations include accurate ballistic and wind computations provided by the navigator, and precision instrument flying with strict adherence to controller instructions. The minimum altitude for release due to blast effects of the weapon is 6,000 feet AGL. The BLU-82 was originally designed to clear helicopter landing zones and artillery emplacements in Vietnam. The warhead contains 12,600 pounds of low-cost GSX slurry (ammonium nitrate, aluminum powder, and polystyrene) and is detonated just above ground level by a 38-inch fuze extender, optimized for destruction and ground level without digging a crater. The weapon produces an overpressure of 1000 psi [pounds per square inch] near ground zero, tapering off as distance increases.
Eleven BLU-82s were dropped during Desert Storm, all from Special Operations C-130s. The initial drops were intended to test the ability of the bomb to clear mines; no reliable bomb damage assessment exists on mine clearing effectiveness. Later, bombs were dropped as much for their psychological effect as for their antipersonnel effects. The Air Force dropped several BLU-82s during the campaign to destory the Taliban and al-Qaeda terror networks in Afganistan to attack and demoralize personnel and to destroy underground- and cave-complexes.

sandro dias takes vert gold
Sandro Dias Takes Vert Gold, Bob and Bucky Follow
LOS ANGELES -- On Thursday night at The STAPLES Center, Sandro Dias' first run was good enough for gold. It was also the Brazilian's first skateboard vert gold medal at the X Games. Bob Burnquist nabbed silver and Bucky Lasek took home the bronze. Andy Macdonald missed the podium, just 0.25 points behind Lasek.
Dias best finish in skate vert was a bronze at X Games 11, but he holds several vert titles from the Latin X Games and Asian X Games.
"I thought my score was too high," quipped Dias, when asked if he was surprised his first run was enough for the victory. "But I love the judges."
That winning run included a backside 540 McTwist to tail, a gnar jar 540, heelflip to frontside slider and ollie to fakie.
Burnquist and Lasek both had strong runs with opportunities to take the gold, but in the end came up short. Burnquist fell on his final two runs on a switch kickflip after a frontside air to backside air.
"I feel very good about that run, because I connected every obstacle and it flowed all the way through," said Burnquist. "The switch kickflip that I couldn't land I'll definitely lose sleep over that because I usually can land it. I think that if I had landed that, I might have got the gold."
Lasek put together a run that included a frontside air 540, ollie flip fakie and stalefish.
"My body felt good for as battered as it was," Lasek said. "I was feeling it on my third run but I was seeing about eight walls ahead of myself and fell on something easy."

12 august 2006... we went to glorietta after my class and entered every shoe store we saw, literally! of course we also stopped by bookstores... then we went to greenbelt to meet up with the others to watch sukob (yikes! hindi ko nakita yung multo! good thing!) then when we were looking for a restaurant to have our dinner, we saw policemen chasing some teens... still don't know what happened there (refer to tep's blog for more! anyway, then it's bubba gump!!! run forrest run! then off to bed... no booze here... first time i went to greenbelt without it...
13 august 2006... went to greenhills for some supposedly bargain hunting with jing, nic and lynnet! guess what?! bargains smargains... its no bargain! anyway, i got to buy my orange rose anyway, so what am i complaining for?!
and finally today... this week we started having our finals... in fact, i just finished my memmath test awhile ago. and next week are the departmental... yep, phyeng2, mechone, envieng and the dreaded enganal... oh well... but it also brings something good... that means sem break is almost here!!! and the last lbymemb (which by the way is the cause of the metal smell) and lbyphy2!!! whahahha!!! when my die returns to me and it's finished chroming, trust me, i will put up a picture here in different angles! even though my die is not perfect, in fact it's super ugly compared to the others, i'm still proud of it because it's labor for 1 whole term!!!
as for my fic, i'll try to finish it during sem break... it's really getting old fast! ja ne! no more overdue posts... i hope!
