my big, fat kitchen DISASTER
ewan ko ba kahit san ako mapunta ayaw talaga akong tantanan ng malas o di kaya sakuna.
ganito kasi yun. wedding ngayon ng tito ko. so pumunta ko. actually, ayoko nga nung una. pero napilit na rin ako. hindi na 'ko pumunta sa simbahan, dyahe pa yun e. dumerecho na ko agad sa handaan. anyway, yung handaan, sa bahay lang naman ng tito ko. nothing fancy. yung isa kong tita naghihintay sa bahay. hindi rin siya sumama sa simbahan dahil siya yung magaasikaso ng stuff. tamad mode on nanaman ako, nagsasoundtrip, nakatingin sa kawalan. freeing my mind. haha. habang natataranta na ang aking tita sa paghahanda. ahem. what can i say? talagang tamad po ako.
inutusan ako ng tita ko gumawa ng sawsawan para raw sa lumpia (lingid sa kanyang kaalaman ang gulong pinasok niya). lagyan ko raw ng bawang, suka at paminta. pumunta ko sa kusina para gawin yung sawsawan. okei, madali lang naman yun e, nakita ko ng gumawa ng ganun ang nanay ko. inuna ko ang suka. so far so good... sumunod naman yung bawang. 3 cloves ang dinurog ko gamit ang mortar at pestle. inilagay ko sa suka. aba mahusay... palatable pa naman ang ginagawa ko. last kong idinagdag ang paminta. hindi ko maalala kung durog o buong paminta ang ilalagay pero dahil ang una kong nakita sa kusina ay buong paminta yun ang nilagay ko. kaya lang nabuhos ko yung buong bote dun sa sukang may bawang. as in buong bote. imbis na 'sukang may bawang at paminta' ang kalalabasan, naging 'pamintang may suka at bawang'. nagpanic ako at kinuha ko yung mga paminta. baka sakaling ma-save ko pa yung sawsawang ginagawa ko. nung natanggal ko na lahat ng paminta, medyo gray na yung suka. at nalaman kong pamintang durog pala dapat ang ilalagay. galeng... huli na ang lahat. ubos na ang suka.
at aba ang lakas rin ng loob netong tita ko. pinagawa pa ko ng juice. bwahahaha.

my last respects... to Carlo
my last respects... to Carlo
i don't know him personally. heck, i don't even know his real name. i call him Lei from the character he came as at last year's tea party (MEteor Garden theme). in a room of a hundred plus people, he was hard to miss. well, what can i say? he does have his own share (and quite a good share at that) of good looks. and i'm pretty sure there's more to him than that. yeh ryt how cliche! even though i practically don't know him, somehow, i felt the loss like, i think, everybody else in the college did.
it kinda hits you when someone that young, inches away from graduation and from finally getting hold of his dream, dies a tragic and sudden death. well i guess, it's true what they say, you never can tell when death would become you or in what way, shape or form it would come. it just does... life sure is a sucky game. bummer.
to Carlo, this may sound too cliche again, but wherever you are, i know you would have wanted to touch people's lives. and you did. you reminded us life that life is indeed short and isn't just about school or career. it's about more important things often overlooked. and as Cholo would put it, it's about making each day the greatest achievement of your life.
kung nasan ka man ngayon...pag nakita mo ang Diyos. ikamusta mo ko sa Kanya.

E ano ngayon?
i just realized... i hate my template. it's too pa-cute and too flowery. just sooo not me. mas gusto ko na pala ngayon ang contrast of dark and bright colors. may conflict pero hindi problematic... parang ako.
meet the third wheel
in case tamarin akong tapusin ang BS, meron na 'kong fall back career, ang maging third wheel. sigh... i've been doing it for so long, i'm actually starting to get really good. professional na nga yata. ha! like it's a good thing! nagiging instrumento lang tuloy ako ng mga pagtakas at patagong pagkikita ng mga magboboyfrend. ganito ang senaryo:
(girl magpapaalam sa nanay)
Girl: "Ma, punta lang ako sa. kasama ko naman si ... "
pero ang totoo... sigh... ang masaklap nito, nagpapagamit naman ako. tsk tsk tsk, sick sick sad world. oh well, what can i say? that's life... for me.
well at least come to think of it, may mabuti naman akong naidudulot sa mundo. i fill the world with forbidden love. yeah, it's forbidden. but LOVE nonetheless...
and by the way, i have unearthed my one true love (for now)... billiards!
ayos!

sinubukan kong gumawa. nainis lang ako. andami kong naalala. yung mga bagay na pilit kong kinalimutan naalala ko nanaman. punyetang buhay yan. ngayon, tinatamad na tuloy akong gumawa ng kahit ano.
wats new?

wait, before anything else, just want to put on record that for the past three days, i'm having this weird chest pain. i'm having it now. parang ang hirap huminga na hindi. gosh is this the end for me? 'wag naman sana. marami pa kong unfinished business. ayoko namang magmulto no! marami pa 'kong gustong gawin sa buhay ko- sumweldo, magkaboyfriend, european tour hehe. ahhh. paranoid. @_@
-------------------------------------
enrollment last wednesday. as expected, it was uber sucky only because i forgot my change (mga 200+) and the cashier won't give it back. plus, i got no proof that i forgot my change. bwiset. feeling niya siguro nandadaya ako. bwiset again.
after enrollment, i watched harry potter 3 with mae, kes and julius. the plan to watch it with the berks didn't work out. atat kasi kami lahat. anyway, hp was not as good as i expected. the wait, was definitely not worth it. duh! two years, and that's what we got?! bungi-bunging version ng hp3. i know movies aren't supposed to be complete. but heller! OA naman sa pagka-abridged yun. if you're not reading the book, you won't understand some essential parts of it. like why Hermione needed a time-turner? and why Buckbeak was executed? etc.
plus, that was not how i expected Lupin and Sirius to look like. the new Dumbledore wasn't as majestic and magical as the old Dumbledore because he talked too fast for a man supposedly as old as he is and his clothes were less Dumbledore-like too. wadelse? yung Hogwarts nag-iba rin pala. and the WHomping Willow. and Hagrid's HUt. ang hindi lang nag-iba yung stairs. Oh and the Fat Lady was different too. did you notice?
hmmm.. hate to sound too critical so might as well end it here.
i still say the movie isn't as good as expected.

just another just-got-back-from- entry
made the trip alone from pangasinan today. mega boring sobra. good thing, i stuffed my bag with butong pakwan (the ultimate puyatan snack) before i left for manila. it gave me something to do minus all the extra calories of regular junk food. aaakkk. kelan pa ko naging diet conscious?
i survived almost a week without tv (may tv kaya lang channel 2 at 7 lang. minsan may channel 9), phone and internet. i almost lost it, but then again, there were loads of disney vcds that kept me intact. 'twas kinda lonely being there particularly in the afternoons when my nephews and niece have gone out to play with the other kids and i was left alone in the house to drown myself in minesweeper (which i have never mastered) and spider solitaire (which i'm currently mastering)and some old cds that kinda grew on me already.
i missed a lot of things when i was there. i missed the American Idol finale. missed blogging and blohopping. missed hours of pointless phone talks. missed truckloads of tv. promise! when i was in the middle of far away land, i swear i'd do anything for cable tv. desperate times call for desperate measures. but sadly, cable was non-existent. :(
and now that i'm back. i'm having this super weird feeling. parang nasusuka na ewan feeling. a week made me kind of used to the probinsya setting, already. fresh air, early bedtimes, silence, trees, lahat. as much as i want to stay there, i have to go home. enrollment's tomorrow. classes start on monday. back to the sick reality i have grown to love.
