Oh gawd...

Actually, right now.. I'm missing many people.

Especially, my bestfriends; namely, Amay, Hanz and Katy. It's been four days since I last saw them.

Sayang nga eh. My mom didn't allow me to go out with Hanz when she asked me to accompany her into the mall last Thursday. May ibabalik raw kasi siyang VCD na hiniram niya sa Video City the other week. During that time kasi there's a typhoon coming. Si Yoyong nga. Kaya ayun...

I also missed Grace. It's because in this blogging world.. aside kay Michi, she's the only one I think na ka-close ko rito.

Alright.. there were some links pero iba na rin iyong may few people na ka-close ka.

And the list of people I'm missing goes on.. *winks*

Geez.. I forgot to tell you that my super fave aunt will marry on December 10. Well, not that you really care. Just wanted to share something.

Although, it's just civil wedding.. (they're short of money because my godfather, Tito Oseph will buy a new car tomorrow)... I know naman that the sanctity of marriage is still there.

Currently I know na namomroblema ang Tita Myrah ko. We went to a wedding last night sa Betterliving and I saw the olds na parang niluluto siya. Gawd-forbid! Don't take it literally. Gusto ng mga ito na maghanda after the wedding. Friday yata iyong 10 right? So ayun..

My grandma insists na mag-restaurant na lang raw for the reception. Pero namaaaan.. the budget raw! Sometimes kasi ang mga olds parang bata rin. Kapag hindi mo napagbigyan, sasama ang loob. When in fact napagbigyan na siya ng tita ko. Dapat talaga church wedding. But my grandma is a Pentecostal. Ayaw niya sa isang Catholic church. While the soon-to-be-husband's side ng tita ko ay pure Catholic.

So instead of attending a church wedding na walang maghahatid na mother sa tita ko, they just decided na mag-civil wedding na lang.

And now venue naman ng reception naman ang pinagtatalunan! Yayness. Ang gusto lang kasi talaga ng soon-to-be-couple iyong dalawang for each side na magiging witness at silang dalawa lang for the celebration. Para less expenses. Sabagay this time ay kailangang maging practical ng mga people.

Pero grandma insist na mag-imbita ng mga kamag-anak galing sa Mabini. Hindi man sila immediate family pero baka raw magtampo sabi ni Lola. Kasi no'ng mag-asawa Tita Malou ko, sila-sila rin lang. Ganon rin iyong nangyari. So iniisip ngayon ni Lola na baka raw isipin no'ng mga kamag-anak ng Lolo ko na ipinag-wawalang bahala na lang sila just because our grandfather already died. Para bang wala ng communication.

But my tita doesn't think so. It's just that.. iyong budget ngaaaaaa!

So.. blah and blahs continue.

Still need to prepare myself. Afternoon ang dating ni Tito Oseph and his family. Mamamanhikan kina tita. Syempre the food lover that I am, I'll go to my tita's house later.

Gtg. Goodbye for now... =)

P.S.: Awww shit! I still haven't done my contraceptives report for our PEHM tomorrow morning. WTF? I also haven't finished reading El Fili of Jose Rizal. We've got a long quiz by tomorrow also. And not to mention another quiz on CW.

*sighs* Anyway, I'll just deal with those later. Or much better tonight.

Whatever

Life is boring.

Ooops.. Got a mistake in there. Anyway, let me rephrase it.

MY life is boring.

Sorry about that. Just realized that I can't be talking in general because I know that there are some people out there whose life is pretty much OK than me.

In this order, since I wake up:

-- Mystery book. (I read Easier to Kill by Valerie Wesley.)

-- Food. (I ate beef steak and rice.)

-- Television. (I watched morning cartoons. Typical of me every Saturday.)

-- CD player. (I played Sexy Naughty Bitchy by Tata Young. Turned the volume to almost maximum. Result: A brother complaining about his eardrums being too shaken.)

-- Gameboy Advanced. (I played Super Mario part II. I was on my sixth stage when I got annoyed. Yoshi keeps on leaving me because I was accidentally hit by a flying enemy. Feck.)

-- Food. (Bread. For no reason. Just feel like eating something.)

-- DVDs. (I watched Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle for the second time. It's my fave movie mind you. And my second fave? The Prince & Me. Anyways, just sharing.)

-- Food. (This time it's for lunch.)

-- Gameboy Advanced. (Again. Continuing the battle. Hehe.)

-- Computer. (Then this. Blogging again. Can't think of anything to do. So here I am.)

So you see, my life is boring.

I can't go out because in the first place, I don't feel like going out. Besides, I've still got a mission to do. I have to keep my eye on our stay-out maid.

Just last night, before she went out on our house, my mom told me na kapkapan siya. My grandma called us on the phone at nagsumbong raw iyong boy namin sa store. Stay-in kasi iyong boy namin eh.

And you know what he said? Nakita raw niya na may tinago iyon maid namin sa bag niya. Three fishes. Ewan ko kung luto or hilaw. I forgot to ask. So iyon. My mom told me, "Mabuti sana kung nagpaalam siya, eh hindi naman."

It's an act of stealing, right?

And guess what I found nang makapkapan ko siya? Beef and pork na hindi pa luto. Almost one-fourth rin iyon. Sabi ng mom ko ang one-half kilo raw ngayon ay 200 pesos. Eh di, halos 100 rin raw iyong makukuha niya!

Guilt was written on Emie's eyes. (That's the maid's name.) She even said to my mom, "Ate ngayon ko lang naman ginawa iyan. Hindi pa kasi ako kumakain eh. Kaya mag-uuwi ako sa bahay namin."

Liar! She's a freaking liar. She's with us nang kumain kami ng kapatid ko. Kumain rin siya ah. Then she told us na hindi pa? Crap.

And my mom and I already know na hindi lang isang beses niyang ginawa iyon. My mom told me na kabibili lang niya ng ten kilos of rice last Monday. Then now halos two kilos na lang ang natira samantalang pwede pang umabot iyong ng more than a week because hindi naman kami ganon kalakas kumain. Besides, halos kaming tatlo lang ng kapatid ko ang natitira sa bahay. Plus the maid. In fact, my two younger brothers and I literally grew up with the maids. Different maids. My mom is out kasi oftentimes. And my dad's abroad.

So it's really quite intriguing di ba? Plus the fact na kapag pumupunta si Emie sa house namin halos walang kalaman-laman iyong body bag. Then pag-uwi medyo bulky tingnan? Who is she kidding with?

No'ng una hindi lang namin pinansin. Pero habang tumatagal, it feels like she's too much a burden already. My mom said na hindi namin obligasyong pakainin ang family niya. Which is obvious dahil malamang ang mga iyon ang dinadalhan ng maid namin ng pagkain. Alangan namang siya lang ang umubos non right?

So ayun...

Anyways ang kinaiinis ko lang, masyado siyang namimihasa. Ano bang akala niya sa amin? Charitable institution? Feck.

We're not rich naman para ganunin nila noh. That's unfair. Hindi napupulot lang sa tabi ang money na ipambibili ng foods. Sa hirap ng life ngayon, maghirap rin sila noh.

Well.. that's all. Just wanted to share my current thoughts.

But if you're thinking that what I was saying awhile ago was plain rubbish.. think again. Or better yet, close this window.

I know this is such an unbearable post. But this is not rubbish. At least for me.

The things I said awhile ago was the main reason why I can't go out with my friends and enjoy myself.

Arrrrggghhh. Emie is such a pain in the butt. Iyon lang!

Let this be read

Looks like this blog is already dying.

Been almost a week since I last posted another same ol freakin survey.

Alright. Alright.

I know! I need a pretty serious update in here.

So, where do I start?

Hmmm.. This is the third day of this week that suspension of classes must be done. Wheeeeee. It feels like vacation is just around the corner already.

So I really need to enjoy this days that I still have time to think and worry about nothing. Because next week and the week after next week.. *sighs* ..will be a really hectic one.

--- Presentation of Sponsors and Promotion of Officers aka P.O.S. Not that I'm part of it, mind you. Just emphasizing the fact that long chapter tests and final graded recitations will be rushed.

--- Teacher's Day. Actually, I just wished nobody would ask me to be a student teacher. Cross-fingers please. Not that I'm sure I would be asked. Modesty aside, I was once a student teacher before I graduated from my elem years. And I taught kindergarten. How pathetic is that! Those kids are the most hard-headed one I met in my entire life. Ooops.. with the exemption of my two younger brothers of course.

--- Third Periodical Examinations. How quick time flies! It was as if yesterday was just the first day of school. And now this? Two weeks and it will be our third quarter exams. The bad thing is that I still haven't done any reviewers for myself yet. You know what, I could now see myself cramming two days before the exam. Great. Just great.

--- End of third grading. Start of new resolutions for the New Year. And of course, start of the Fourth Quarter. Which means, I'll be back to my old self again. I wanna graduate from my HS years with flying colors. Flying rainbow colors actually. So prepare everyone! Coz next year, there will come Airah the Geek and all that. Awww!! Great. But I won't exaggerate myself to the point of becoming a nerd literally. With all the big eyeglasses, ultra-preppy outfit, eye bugs, aloof personality and stuffs. I still wanna have a partner for the prom.

Did I forgot anything else? Hmmm... *still thinking*

Is there anything else left for me to say?

Oh yeah! I almost forgot!

Just wanna invite everybody to pray for the dear souls of those people who are victim of the Typhoon Violeta, Typhoon Winnie and of course, the current, Super typhoon Yoyong.

I pity those people I see on television. Especially the children. They are crying. For hunger. For the warmth of their parents. For shelter.

By the way, I was touched last night. Especially when a teenage boy cried in front of the camera and said: "Inanod na iyong bahay namin, pati mga magulang ko nawala na rin. Magpapasko pero ako lang ang natira sa amin. Grabe naman 'to. Sunud-sunod."

That time I thought I am still very lucky. I am here in our home, safe. Not like them, especially the ones who live near the different bodies of water. There's still doubt na baka alurin iyong dampang tinitirhan nila.

I even thought sila na nga itong nagpapakamatay para mabuhay yet sila pa iyong pinahihirapan. Sounds unfair, right? Naiiyak na nga ako sa mga petty problems ko. What more pa kaya sila na halos wala na talagang natira for them? On second thought, maybe life has to be really unfair at times. Sabi nga nila, it's a way to strengthen one's body and mind.

I just wanna appeal in behalf of my countrymen, na it's just another pagsubok. We are strong at malalampasan rin natin iyon. We can do it, guys! Every nation in the world look up to us. Even though, I'm just your ordinary senior student, given the chance, I'll help pack/distribute the goods for you.

It would be an amazing thing to be able to help. Besides, consider the adventure of going to a secluded place. That's another experience!

So, before I could win the majority of votes to become the newest and the youngest president President of the Philippines, I'll end this post na. Buh-bye. ;p
