measly updates ... part2
Whaddyaknow?? I named my 3 new stuffed kids already, with the help of Agatha. They are: Bill (gray pup), Bob (giraffe), and Ben (gold-ish pup), henceforth collectively referred to as , "The Bs". She suggested all three names and I decided which stuffed kid was to be named what.

And then, I received a couple more gifts! Agatha got me another one, a dream book with a bongga wrapper. Seriously, my roommate was begging me to ask her where she had it wrapped. Tin, on the other hand, bought me coffee from Marks&Spencer. I tried it already and it's soo good. Sabi na, "you can never go wrong with coffee".

What else?

  • I haven't thought about my Starbucks name yet. Grr. I think only Glecy has thought of hers already. Sidenote: She officially ditched "Leslie". If you ask me, bagay naman niya. Hehe.
  • My mom got me a laptop already, can't use my Dad's na daw kasi. Nahihiya pa ako kay Nicci cos I semi told her that I would get from her friend. She was supposed to give me a Php3-5thou discount pa naman. Sigh.

Ayyy, sadsad. Wala na ako maisip..:(


Ayyamoutt!:)

Warning
It's amazing what friends can do. Really. They share the good times in your life and make you feel all the more better. They listen to you in times of whining and self pity. Although in my case, they usually perform it through a number of steps:

1. Sense that there's something wrong.
Qualification#1 to be Zel's friend: Have a 7th sense

2. Ask if there's something wrong.

3. Sense more.
Qualification#2 to be Zel's friend: Have an 8th to detect if I'm lying

4. Work up courage to ask if there's REALLY something wrong.
Hint: Ask me with the I-mean-the-truth look

5. Listen. Nod occassionally.
Note: Sub questions appreciated

6. Spill the advice.
Note: I need a sort of face-slamming-the-door truth, sometimes.

Sidenote: And since you've had a hard time of getting the something-wrong part out, why not make the most of it?


So you see, it's not an easy task to be my friend. Especially if you do share a lot and I am, well sort of "mute" when it comes to that part of the conversation. Ergo, I should be thankful I have many friends. Friends who don't get tired. In fact, they're kind enough to believe in me more than I do.. most of the time.


So to my friends, THANK YOU.



P.S. Feeling ko wala na akong magiging new friends once they read this post. Haha. Oh well.

of measly updates, birthday cakes, and more.:)
Last Thursday, I surprisingly turned 19. I don't know what was with that day but I woke up extraordinarily happy and excited. I don't usually feel that way, you know. Not like Airah who is, as she put it, Miss Birthday Big Deal. I used to (and still do) think of birthdays as just a normal day, save for the fact that people send you birthday greetings and well-wishes. But as I said earlier, something was unusually different that day.

To those who don't know, UP started classes during that same day. Although technically that was only for us, no-Wed-or-Sat-class people. So that day was filled even more with the aforementioned greetings.

Among my friends, I saw Jeons, Rei, and Richard. It's ironic cos we all belong to the same college and yet I don't see them often. They were all bursting with back-to-school enthusiasm and well-wisher glee that I couldn't help but smile and be thankful I have such happy friends. Hee hee.

I also got accepted in PE. Whattamiracle.:) Although you can take that back right now since "the condition" for it was crazy. No absences. Excused or not. Period. Diiiieeeeeeee!
(Admire my beautiful schedule (PE not included). *evil laugh*)


Back to the good things. What more than gifts???

1. A Nemo bath towel (which I plan to keep new forever) from Rei and Lawrence.
(picture will follow. Hee hee.)

2. Three stuffed animals. Golden-ish pup (topmost). Gray pup (middle row, left). Both with leather-ish collars. And a giraffe (middle row, right). I still have to name them, though.

Here they're together with my colorful hamster, Sammy (bottom), and keychain giraffe, Mash (center).



2. A jar filled with red everything! Sour belts, thin sour rolls (?), M&Ms, foil-wrapped chocolates, gummy bears! I'm thinking the salesperson in whatever candystore thought they were weird.



After finishing the jar, I'm betting I'm gonna look like her:



Save for the hair color, ofcourse. Mwahaha.

P.S.
Airah, come home. Birthdays aren't the same without you, Miss Birthday Big Deal.

P.S.S.
I take that back. I have to stop being selfish.

P.S.S.S
Harry Potter, tomorrow! Wee!

(not) true
Your Personality Is

Guardian (SJ)


You are sensible, down to earth, and goal oriented.
Bottom line, you are good at playing by the rules.

You tend to be dominant - and you are a natural leader.
You are interested in rules and order. Morals are important to you.

A hard worker, you give your all at whatever you do.
You're very serious, and people often tell you to lighten up.

In love, you tend to take things carefully and slowly.

At work, you are suited to almost any career - but you excel in leadership positions.

With others, you tend to be polite and formal.

As far as looks go, you are traditionally attractive. You take good care of yourself.

On weekends, you tend to like to do organized activities. In fact, you often organize them!

the usual prick
I arrived here in Manila yesterday.. in time to pay for my new dorm.. in time to have some spared for rest prior to registration day. Sounds okay, you say. But it wasn't quite so.

I got a new place to stay in Katipunan. Reasons for such are:

1. It's closer to case venues (i.e. Starbucks in Katipunan, SBC in Katipunan). Key word here being, Katipunan.

2. It's newer. It's whiter. It's cleaner. Plus I get to enjoy the benefit of having my own bathroom. Now THAT makes it NECESSARY.

3. NO CURFEW. Need I say more?

Now on to the wasn't-quite-so part. I had a semi-thick stack of Php1000 bills from my Mom at around 2am, Monday morning. At around 11am, i had only a number. Money really runs off like water these days. And the price of gas... jeez! Dati parang isang litro lang ng coke. Ngayon pang taxi na. Ooookay, so I got carried away.:)

So awhile ago I did the inevitable "paglilipat" and now am happily settled in my new "home". I guess it's all good save for the fact that I have to wake up early tomorrow in order to change one subject. Reason: to avoid a CBA-hater professor. Just so you know, he's from Econ and not from BA. I'm taking Econ as an elective this semester.

Again to the bad part. Hazel and I were kind of jealous cos a number of our blockmates got letters from P&G. Why? Cos they have fucking GOOD GRADES. Grr. Which reminds me of one of my grades this previous semester. Iara said everyone got a 2-something. That doesn't make me feel any better, in fact, it makes me all the more want to kill my professor.

My Mom reminded me to study well as I left the house. She added, "Do not relax until you graduate."

My answer was, "I really can't afford to, Mom. Naghahabol pa ako."

Yes, ako ay naghahabol. Gusto ko mag-graduate ng may "laude" na nakadugtong sa pangalan ko.

May reklamo?
