BY THE RIVER PIEDRA, I SAT DOWN AND WEPT
by Paulo Coelho

Spent the day reading this book, "By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept" by Paulo Coelho. I was able to finish it this afternoon since there was no electricity. The book is about two young lovers that reunited after eleven years. They both had changed greatly. Pilar transformed into a strong and independent woman while, the guy had grown into a charismatic spiritual leader. Now this guy is confused between his love for Pilar and his religion.

After I finished the book, I took my laundries and went to check the washing machine. Got loco when the machine woudnt work.

I had tons of unwashed clothes and I also have nothing to wear on Monday. My cousin told me to wash them manually. I tried. After three shirts, my hands were in pain and i thought i cant finish my laundries. I stopped. Hang the three shirts i've washed and went to my room.

It was the first time i tried hand washing. Maybe I do wash my undies and hankies with my bare hands but it was my first time to wash my clothes. Now I remember the days when my mom tried to teach me how to wash my own clothes but always ignore her. I did try to but just one or two shirts and after that, i quit. I'm not used to do laundries on my own. My mom would hire someone else to do the laundries. Now that im in a place far from home, im having a hard time thinking what will i do to finish my laundries. Whhoow. I think i need to learn how to wash with my bare hands and get used to it.

CLASSES ENDED?!:P

Classes should have started last Thrusday but teachers were damn so lazy to go to their respective classrooms. I have a class at 7:00 am and went there before the time. It was really early yet my classmates were already there when i arrive. The sad thing is, our teacher didnt attend the class so we were left waiting in that boring laboratory til the bell finally rang.

On the way to the CR, we saw our prof at the faculty room and just told us that she didnt know that she should be handling the class early that morning. I really think its not right to keep us waiting.

Then yesterday, we didnt had classes because Sen. Pangilinan arrived at our school for an Inauguration Ceremony. I went to school in the afternoon and then received a text from my "crush", inviting me (and our other friends) to watch a movie at our friend's place. We only watched a single movie, "Memoirs of a Geisha", since it was already late and most of them has plans for the night. One of my friends invited me to join them that night but i declined. I just went home and spent the night with my cousins.

That would be all. I'm busy making an overlay for my friendster profile right now. I dont know how but id like to learn. Ciao! :D

After The Break

A THING FROM MY PAST...A MEMORY


After so many days of being absent from blogging, here I am again typing my wierd thoughts on my computer. Just imagine, my dear, months have passed yet not a single post was made from me and it fells so bad not being able to - believe me.

Well, after a few months break, i thought that it would be nice if i change my layout. So, this morning, i made a new layout using a picture that I took from my field trip last semester. It is actually a beach with a swing on the side. The water was so calm making the island seem so near. Well, I'll let you guys be the judge. Tell me what you think about it. Dont worry, i wont bite you if you wont like it. :P

TROUBLES AHEAD!

Things just dont happen for no reason. Right? Somehow they are bound for a purpose. Lets just say that my mind got a little preoccupied these past few days. Filled up with things that i dont understand. I've been constantly visited by dreams that doesnt seem to mean anything. Maybe they do have a meaning, i just dont understand them at all. Others say that dreams show us or tell us or even warn us on things that are about to happen. That's why I keep on wondering what's mine mean. What is actually freaky is that i still remember most parts of my dreams that is isnt usual for everyone. Normally, people wont remember anything from their dreams except for faded scenes from it. Damn! Whatever my dreams mean, I need to know and fast.

Calendar Break

[busy]i wasn't really onto blogging right now. it's been more than a month since i last updated my blog. there are alot of things more important for me than blogging right now. alot of changes happened since the last post i had. now i dont know how to start my new post that will sum up all the things happened to me.

[grief]i dont know what to do. it was july 3. it was the first time i woke up without a father. my dad past away the night before. i cant describe the way i felt that day. it was as if my mind was blocked and i just found myself staring blankly into thin air. now, my life is different. my ever supportive tatay is not around anymore. though i know that he's somewhere there watching over me, i'll still be missing him badly.

[birthday]i had my 17th birthday last wednesday. it wasnt so great. it was the first time that i celebrated it without my father. and yeah, one more reason is because i had an exam than afternoon and i failed to pass it. i wasnt so lucky enough to make it to the cut off. but that same afternoon, the cheque i deposited last month (which was submitted for clearing for a month since the cheque was from n.y.) has now registered on my account. as i check my atm, i found out that my account balance was already more than a hundred thousand. ive been waiting for that money. it was my scholarship money from STARR Foundation in New York. im so lucky to be accepted. it's a big help.

[end]i'll stop it here. it's a bit late and i still have to do my laundries. im not sure when i can update my blog again. be back SOON!

Miss A Lot of Things

missing borongan

i planned the whole weekend weeks before last week but nothing came out the way i wanted it to be. i went here to tacloban last monday due to an emergency. Though it wasnt so urgent, my mom kept on using the word, emergency. Since that day, nothing really happened the way i planned it. i wanted to go home to borongan but i wasnt able to. i just wanted to spend the rest of the summer in my hometown.

though i can do all the things i do there here, still the feeling wouldn't be the same. even though borongan is a boring place and has no signs yet of urbanization, it still has its own beauty that i miss so much everytime im here in tacloban. i miss the sound of the waves breaking as it reaches the bank every night before i go to sleep, the fresh air i breathe every morning when i wake up and the beautiful sunshine that makes my day so wonderful. borongan is far from tacloban or any other cities. you cant hear noise from the street after midnight and the air you breathe is so fresh. it's really a wonderful place.

now i cant go back there. i have no time. classes starts on tuesday and i still have alot of things to do. i hope i can go back there as soon as possible. i'll really miss that place.




damned week?!

at last!i passed my comm2 exit test. received my grade from mr. de guzman last wednesday and i got 2.0! haha.it's already a high grade if you're in our school and if you're under sir jing.haha..

i went window shopping last friday afternoon with my nieces, Sheila Lynn and Lyndel. we went to different stores just to find a new school shoes for lyndel. i really hate it, got my self feeling jealous bout them wearing uniforms. i missed my high school days when i was still wearing my school uniform. now, i just wear whatever clothes i have and what's available. that's ok, only there is a problem, every morning i get up and ask myself what to wear. my pants fade alot faster so i spend more money buying new ones. plus, i get tons of clothes to wash every weekend. but anyway, i still love that university.

by the way, i think i saw belle in gaisano while i was paying for the slippers i bought. i saw her at the cashier but i wasnt sure it was her. she was with her mom and she was wearing her school pants (rtrmf). thought it was her from her pictures in friendster. i leaved her a tag last night asking if it was her that i saw. hehe di naman ganon ka laki ang tacloban para impossible kaming magkita. right? bwahaha =P

after in gaisano, i went to dickies to buy the bag i saw from their window. it was beautiful. sling bag xa kaya lang malaki but i still bought it. ok lang naman ung size if im the one wearing it.hehehe propotion lang naman coz im also a big person. wahahaha :P

mahaba-haba na rin 'to ah!i think i'll just stop here. ung iba, sa akin nalang un or i'll just post it next time. bhubye! :D

New Friends

hahay...

it's already dawn but i still cant sleep. i feel so tired.

i went out last night with friends coz julius is already leaving for manila today. while we were walking, someone called from our back. both of them does look familiar but from their question, i concluded that they're not from here. they asked us if we can tell them where pantalan is. i told them that it was far but we're on our way there so they can come with us. the guy was very familiar so i asked them where they came from. he said they were from samar(a.k.a western samar). and just after he said that, julius finally said something. he asked him if he's Jireh and the guy said yes. So he's Jireh, i also know him, just his name. I know him coz he always join regional contests and my classmates know him. He was with her friend, Verna. They were visiting borongan and are staying at Jireh's aunt. They were with us til we went home. It's good to meet new people especially when it was just accidental. =)

btw, my sister visited my blog again!i hate her!i already told her that she should not visit my blog but she's still doing it. i dont know how i can stop her. the only way i can think of is to change my URL but it's really hard changing urls coz it makes people get lost. i really dont know what i should do!!!huhuhu
