The Fifth Marauder

mrssnuffles

i have been watching pbb since i saw how cute sam is, which is after chx got eliminated. however, even if sam is not a part of the big 4, i was quite curious about how the teleserye ng totoong buhay (daw hehe) is going to end. i have had a soft spot for jason ever since, and i really wanted him to win. but i guess nene's okay. it was funny because i almost didn't get to watch the finale. of all the times that sky cable decided to fuck up, it chose to be that night. my other tita has already called sky about twice, bugging them to fix their cable thingamajigs pronto. poor sky cable, i bet their phone rang off the hook all saturday night.

 well the teleserye ng totoong buhay has officially ended last saturday and i was surprised to have felt a twinge of disappointment. i mean i rarely missed an episode since day 70. it's ok though, coz i can finally sleep a little earlier or get some more things done at night. scripted or not though, kuya has taught me one valuable lesson during the gupit, sunog, and tapon challenge: to put my trust in the ultimate big brother, the one up there, who, like his mortal counterpart is watching us "housemates" 24/7.

  so much for pinoy big brother. my copar (mini-thesis) group and i finally went to sampaloc site, the community that was assigned to us. we were tasked to interview the people living there. now i know why they call it a depressed area, because being there for only about 3 hours is really depressing. especially when we acquire the information about the family's income. i cannot imagine how a household consisting of 9 or more people survives on minimum wage. and it smells bad there. on the contrary though, they don't look depressed.  they're such noypis, smiling eventhough faced with a whole lot of problems. they even looked happier than i am. but then again, they weren't interviewing people nonstop for the past hour anyway.

i hate copar though. i was forced to be groupmates with people i barely knew. one of them is this nagmamagandang person who is so maarte, i wanted to push him headfirst in the open canal that ran along the streets of sampaloc. and there's this girl who never talks during meetings, is always late, and never replies to my text messages. hay. but never mind these people. the reason why i hate copar so much is because thanks to this effing project, i won't be able to spend the holidays in chicago and finally experience a white christmas. well 2 more effing years. 2 more effing years.

i just wanted to procrastinate before i study for my 3 exams tomorrow. hahaha.

well it has been a nice week, despite the fact that i had to take 7 prelim exams. and as a bonus i get to meet and interact with 4 different cute boys. haha. first on my list is none other than king dj logan (of magic 899 fm). well he wasn't exactly cute, but man that voice and accent is really to die for! the funny thing is, i didn't even realize that it was him until one of my friends introduced us. i was so starstruck that i think i grinned like an idiot and kept on saying oh my gosh in a really blond way. i didn't know that we had common friends and we were both nursing students in olivarez. i couldn't stop smiling all day. my friends were laughing at me because i was so fangirly. i know that carlo (first name basis!!! haha) hasn't been king dj logan for a really long time now, but it was really something meeting him in person and shaking his hand. haha. so anyway boy #2 is this kid from my physics class that me and my friend were forever bugging whenever there's a seatwork. for some reason this 18 year old kid can solve those nasty physics problems way faster than the rest of us mere mortals.well i have always been a BS Math (bobo sa math hehe) that's why he fascinates me. it's weird though, i think i developed a tiny crush on him when i saw his tongue piercing. boy #3 is this really tall christian vasquez look a like. i don't even care that he only started talking to me just last wednesday because he wanted to copy off my pharma prelim paper. and lastly, boy #4, this ugly guy who speaks english fluently, knows his grammar so well, witty, and owns a car. haha. funny though, because i like boy #4 the best. haha.

enough about boys. i love the fact that the linzes won the amazing race. i didn't want to make my support for them to obvious because for some reason every team i root for gets eliminated. haha

dear santa claus,

i know i have been more naughty than nice this past year, but maybe you could grant me at least one item from the list:

• gift certificates from powerbooks (so i can get all the books jane green has ever written!)
• our copar paper, hardbound and ready for submission
• the tiny toshiba laptop (as much as i love my jologs ecs pc, it's a bitch trying to lug it around all the time)
• a digital camera
• a new fone (because my 2-year old 6610 is just begging to be replaced)
• the pinoy big brother dvd (because i'm jologs and i missed the first 70 days)
• the big blue coach bag
• everything from the benefit makeup catalog

• new ipod earphones (because i cannot stop them from turning gray anymore)

thanks. hope to see you soon!!
