currently listening to: (coffee's for closers) - fall out boy

mom screamed me into consciousness this morning. how can she be annoyed at me for oversleeping?

had my dentist appointment today. he said there were still spaces between my teeth. the rubber rings are now fully connected with one another (get the picture?). it's tight as hell now and it hurts a bit. i really thought he was gonna take them out. dagnabbit.

got accessories for my ipod. went dress shopping with sister dear. i'm pretty sure it's my third visit to greenhills within a period of seven days. that's a record for me.

slow day all in all.

gonna leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow to go back to calapan. 2009 is just around the corner...

update! i just remembered that my sister spotted slick rick and tony toni. i wanted to point at them and say "spot the slick!". unfortunately, since i haven't been listening lately, i'm not sure if that contest is still in progress. stupid time slot change. haha. that's all.

currently listening to: bulag, pipi, at bingi - freddie aguilar (on repeat)

i've been weeding out my homework. my favorite has to be the algebra homework. linear programming is seriously fun (compared to all the rest, that is. wouldn't want you to think i enjoy numbers). it's great to apply all this crap LIs into real life. makes much more sense that way. in relation to math, i thoroughly love watching million to one on the discovery channel. what are the odds, right?

i just read Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" for my english class. i read a professional analysis of the poem so i'll have something to say during the discussion. turns out, Mr. Frost is saying that the roads are the same. he can just tell that in the future, if he ever encounters those two roads, he will be taking the other one, just to see what would happen. niiiice. i thought that it was about him taking the road less traveled if he had a choice. apparently, it's a common misconception.

enough about homework. i went to the dentist today. he told me i had one more month to go before the braces come off. then i'm off to retainer land. thank goodness. i'm kind of over the whole braces thing now. :# nah. i'm still loving it.

bought a purple shirt today for the outbound. i know we're not supposed to but i couldn't resist. i'm gonna buy another one if i can. 0.0 (ugh. impulsive shopping)

went to mass today as well with my mum. not gonna go tomorrow. lotsa studying to do. B)

location: my sister's room (eldest)

this post is coming from the laptop in my sister's room. i can't use the computer because the monitor broke down and it's taking forever for my brother to get it fixed.

the response time is a little slower. the internet is slower. but that's okay.

my last post was a week ago and a lot has happened since.

saturday, may 31 - mom and i went to the mall of asia to watch the last day of the world pyro olympics. i didn't want to go at first because the mall of asia is so far from the house. i have to go to another city just to watch fireworks. anyway, we got there soon enough. it was crowded and you can hear people "oo-ing" and "ahh-ing". one kid exclaimed, "ang ganda! Philippines siguro yan (referring to the competition)!". i was so surprised. it astounds me to know that there are still people out there who believe in the capacity of the Philippines to do great things. we had dinner at the french baker and since the mall didn't close until 11, we went shopping. mom got stockings for ate ida and i got a shirt at people r people. we were supposed to go to a salon because mom wanted to get a haircut. but it was late and mom didn't feel like it anymore.

thursday, june 5 - i went back to the dentist to get my braces adjusted. it's now the color of gold. i chose gold because i wanted my braces to look like grillz. bad idea. you can't see the color very well unless you're standing 5 inches from me and you look really closely. next time, i am sooo going for another color. since my dentist is at greenhills, and i had my mom with me, we decided to go to the mall area. we went to mass first. goodness. 90% of the people going to mass had to be above 50 years old. then we went to lunch at le ching. say what you want about the ambiance of the place. but the food is hella good. we went shopping again. mom got a t-shirt for ate ida and i got a pair of flats.

that's it so far. i painted my toenails pink last night just for the heck of it. school starts in 3 measly days. what the hell am i gonna do?

we went to see "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" today at the Gateway Mall. we got there just in time for the 3:00 pm screening. when we got to the theater itself, we found this couple occupying our seats. my sister told them that they were in our reserved seats (as politely as she can). the couple wouldn't believe us so we got the usher to sort everything out.

turns out, the couple went on the wrong entrance to the theater. it wasn't so embarrassing for them because the theater was already dark.

the movie was good. lots of action and adventure. i haven't seen an Indiana Jones movie before probably because the last one was shown 19 years ago (according to Star Movies - VIP Access). that's probably why ate ida isn't familiar with Indiana Jones as well. we don't have any dvds of the movies in the house so i really didn't know what to expect.

we didn't know the characters and their relationships but it wasn't that hard to figure out. i didn't think much of the plot but the action more than made up for it.

after the movie, we went to the loos. we saw a sign that said that there was going to be Mass held right there in the mall. we went to that one instead of going to Christ the King, as was planned.

we had snacks at bread talk. they ran out of sola so we had to get drinks at taco bell.

we still didn't feel like going home so we went around the stores. ate ida bought this fab hoodie. it was so cool. it's reversible and...well...just plain fab. she told us that it was her birthday gift to herself. it cost around three grand but it was so worth it. haha. i am so going to borrow it. number one on the waiting list :)

i was going to buy shoes but ....

OMG. there was a snake in the house. it's about a foot long, maybe more. probably as thick as my pointer finger. it jumped in from the window! crazy! it was hissing (no sound. but i'm sure it did.) at our cat and our dog.

after quite a bit of screaming, cel had the presence of mind to get a knife and kill the snake. she attacked its body. it didn't split in half. i think cel was still scared at that point. but that first attack caused the snake to stop moving.

cel banged the knife on its head (to confuse it?). it looked dead but it was still moving its tail. i asked cel to prod it a few more times to make sure it was dead. the snake's blood was everywhere.

we wanted to take a picture. after all, it's not everyday a snake decides to drop in on your house. unfortunately, the camera was traveling in europe with my sister. sadness.

i asked cel what we should do with it. i thought for a moment that we should bury it somewhere. cel had a different idea. wrap it up in newspaper and chuck it outside :D we went with her plan.

alas. a snake!

i thought it was just a worm at first. but it was so long...it couldn't be.

so...yeah. i didn't find any that i liked. we went home after that. goodness. how can i talk about shoes when a snake was just in the house?

dad just got me two new shirts from bench. one is green and has chic on the front with an outline of a dog and a flower. the other one is a peach colored polo with heavenly on the top-left corner. i have solid plans for tuesday with belay and daryll. we're gonna go to shangri-la and buy stuff =) there are talks of matching shirts, shoes and wallets. i wanna buy pants on tuesday. i really need 'em. this is all inspired from the matching socks i gave them. now i know it'll be hard to keep us apart =) then there's the EK on wednesday. hopefully everything goes well. that's about it. bye =)

p.s my sister has a guest downstairs. how am i supposed to take a shower?
