THE DAY THAT WAS
hehehe... played badminton again!! its becoming a weekly thing... i was partners with jelo this time... and we totally kicked major butt (actually he did most of the kicking). until we faced lynard and louanne... at first we were like... "we can take them easy!!" boy, were we surprised... we were horribly defeated!!! (actually we put up a good fight... but nevertheless) it was a rude awakening!!! i dont know how or what cosmic force or divine intervention they called for?? but whatever it is... it cost us our winning streak and bragging rights of having an undefeated record... curse lynard and his gods!!!
JUST A THOUGHT
i hate to be the bringer of bad news. saying something that instantly puts a pout on someone's face is not something i do... and so i tell myself. but what can i do?? if the situation calls for it, and if i know that its the right thing to do, then i'll give it to you fresh and raw!!!
in line with this thought, i would like to share this problem i had concerning more bad news... this happened just recently!!
one day
MICHAEL: dumdee dum dum *walking along the corridor*
NESS: mike! i think i met your friend, yung GF ni "A", si "K"!!
MICHAEL: really? kailan? saan?
NESS: sa RP nung... pinakilala sya ni "A" as GF nya
MICHAEL: anong itsura nya? matangkad ba?
NESS: medyo... ok lang!
MICHAEL: maputi ba?
NESS: ok lang...
MICHAEL: mahaba ba yung buhok?
NESS: Oo...
*at this point i strated to believe that she actually met my friend "K" because she is "A's" GF and all physical feature seem to match... until finally*
NESS: dba sa MAPUA sya nag-aaral?
*just as those words left ness' mouth... i knew for certain that the person she met, the person she thought was my friend, and the person "A" introduced as his GF... was not my friend "K". because "K" is a thomasian*
MICHAEL: huh? hindi... thomasian si "K"
NESS: huh? *long pause*
MICHAEL: OMG!! i think we're talking about two different people
NESS: i think so too...
*so that was my bad news for "K"... how can i tell her that my friend (ness) caught his BF with another woman??!*
eventually, i did tell her the truth... but i'm really tired... will continue telling the whole story tomorrow!! *"K's" unexpected reaction*

The conspiracy of the "Pink Elephant"!!!
i ask you, how can you hide a "pink elepant"?? yes you read right... a "pink elephant"!!!
how can you hide a six ton giant wth big ears and a humougous nose?? how can something so big, so obvious, something that will surely get your attention be kept hidden from everybody?? and thats the thing... it cant be kept hidden!!! sooner or later people will find out... or have they already?? now this is the conspiracy of the pink elephant!!
there is pink elephant in the room... how wonderful!!! where did it come from?? how did it get here?? who the fuck owns it?? these are the questions i would like to be answered!!! but my enthusiam on the said elephant slowly dwindled as i realized that yes, theres a pink elephant in the room... but nobody seems to have noticed it!! nobody's reacting to it!! they continue acting as if this beast is non-existent. now i asked myself, "am i the only one seeing it"??
but as time flew by, i've noticed that behind those "i-dont-see-any-elephant act," i hear whispers, i see glances... and so i said to myself, "so they do see the elephant."
now seeing a pink elephant in the room and not being allowed to talk or say something about it, really gives you this feeling of being repudiated... and seeing that nobody seems to talk about it with me, doesn't help. "do they know something that i dont?" or "am i missing something here??" i know they see it... i know they here it... and wtf?, with that overwhelming stench, i know they smell it... or at the least, i know they know, somethings going on!! but what i dont know, is why are we not talking about it!!! are we not allowed to?
but as i got to see the elephant on a daily basis, it slowly faded away... and i finally realized, that the only way to hide a pink elephant is to put it out and show it to everybody and not tell anything about it. sooner ot later, people will lose interest and will not bother you anymore... until finally everybody will get use to it... it will blend-in with the background and in the long run they wont see the elephant anymore.
so right now, i'm quitely keeping my cool. my eyes, ears and nose are as keen as ever, still trying to guess the next appearance of that elusive pink elephant!!!

THE DAY THAT WAS!!!
woke up late (as always). left home at 5 pass 7 (my class starts at 7 hehehe...) arrived at around 7:30!! (again, as always). had to listen to an hour and a half of nonsense (i'm immuned) but, after classes, i together with more than a dozen of my classmates (pai, lynard, sd, jelo, jaycee, lele, and gay ... to name a few) went to play badminton.
kyang was my doubles partner... and we were the team to beat (yeah right??!!!) we ended up with a horrific 0-4 win-lose record... but nevertheless, I REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME!!
here are some pics... will try to get more... soon!!
JELO and PAI: an unbeatable force!!!
going home!!!
thanks kyang for the pics!!!!

down memory lane!!!
last night, while having a family dinner, a real conversation started. (a rarity in my family) it started with a simple, compliment on my mom's cooking. (another rarity)
from then, it shifted this and that, until finally it went to something that I don't want to talk about... our childhood!!
The story of my life so far is comparable to a long epic of cosmological proportions... it is filled with heroes, gods, monsters, elves (of course) and everything that makes an epic interesting!!! and like most good stories, the plot has been changed many times... insignificant things has been made important, dialogues edited and scenes omitted!!! changes that will make everyone, even the author, confused.
in retrospect, i have always been plagued with a lot of vague troubling memories of my childhood. Memories lost and forgotten. i blocked them all out, as if none of them ever occurred. i chained them all up in a box and buried them deep in the trenches of my unconscious a long time ago. but all those memories came back to haunt me... like a ghost from a past life. and it hasn't stopped haunting... in my dreams, in my thoughts, in my words... a glimpse of the past, that i wished didn't happen, is always present!! Mocking and taunting me every single day that I repress them.
and now, im a man dazed and confused... i have been fighting for so long... but defeat is inevitable!!! and the casualties of this fight has been great. a part of my sanity has been lost forever, as i deem. and i can't seem to differentiate a simple childhood memory from a dream... everything is blurred!! and the situation is getting worst, as my sanity dwindles my problems multiply... I may not get over it, but I'm still trying. no one seems to understand that behind this guise, i am someone in pain and is yelling for help!!!

the impact was hard, the wound was deep, you're bleeding everywhere... what the fuck happened??... maybe you fell!!!
you fell hard. you raised the white flag and accepted defeat.
you knew you were falling, yet you did nothing. now how can you get up again?

i hate the first day of class... so many people, so little space. it really annoys me. back in my HS days, i dont even go to school until the third day at least. but now, i dont even think of missing class for no reason at all!!! talk about character change!!!
anyways, i'm with laura right now at the central lib cuz our class isnt until 1 pm... so we're doing something that we do best, "waste time." hehe... it was fun to see all our classmates again, looking at "how much they changed", or in many cases "how much they havent." hehehe... i'm really praying (not literally) that this sem our class would be much more united than we were in the first two years... and i see a glimpse of hope!!! especially with the likes of tiff, pai, sd, gay, lele, ness, orange and many more, who constantly try to communicate with "barkadas" other than their own. tnx.
phew... em writing this after my 1 pm class. laura had a date with her ex, so i was left all by myself. luckily, pai's barkada adopted me... hehehehe... and because our 3 hour class lasted less than 30 minutes, we had this 3 hour break (more or less!!!) pai, really wanted to do something, she didn't want to eat, she didn't want to just sit and chat... so she persuaded us to watch a movie and chill at this place, "the sala," where you can rent a room and watch a movie of your choice... so i did watch this horror flick "Darkness falls" with adriel, anna, rhezi, and pai.
anyhow, i cant think of anything else to write... so ciao for now!!!

i don't get the weather, the way it switches from a hot sunny day to a wet rainy one... its so unpredictable!!! i dont like it!!!
anyways, my friend just got home from the states, she (trix) was there for a month. so we went out the other night to do a lot of catching up... she had a lot of stories to tell and a lot of pictures to show, which made me green with envy... cuz she really had a great time!!!
so we went to the powerplant mall, to have dinner and to hopefully watch a movie. but we got there at about 7:30, so we really didnt have chance to catch a movie (we were planning to watch Harry Potter or the day after...) and besides, everything was sold out!!! so we just had dinner at this japanese reastaurant, where you actually sit on the floor. it was really cool!!! we ate and chated for like 2 hours or so... until we realized the mall was closing!!! (i was so full) so with a last minute stop at starbucks, we decided to stay at trix's place for some more catching up!!!
i went home at around 1 am... tired and sleepy!!!

an advice is such an expensive gift to give, and lately i've been giving it like i had so much of it!!! and in all honesty, im all out!!! i don't know what advice to give anymore.
a lot of my friends call me up whenever they have a problem, and most of the time, they just need an ear to listen to them. And i gladly give them mine, cuz it flatters me that they trust me enough to hear all those sensitive issues concerning their lives!!! but listening has not been enough, now they call me up cuz they need some sympathy, understanding, an opinion, or simply someone to back their side!! someome to justify the wrong they've done!!!
there is this very thin line between my probable advice(meaning the right things to say) and my opnion (which at times may be biased). and this line has been crossed so many times that i can't figure out which is which!!! but i hold my ground, seeing that i am almost never involved in most of their problems (which is a good thing). but lately, i've been distraught, i'm stuck between thinking of giving an unbiased opinion, which will somewhat hurt their feelings, or to justify and patronize them even though they have done something horribly wrong!!! so i ask myself, "how much good can i squeeze out form something bad?" or "should i just say what needs to be said and get it over with?"
after all this time, i must admit that there is this instance that i did advice a friend to do one thing that wasn't necessarily the best thing to do at the moment. and unfortunately, she took my advice!!! the whole thing was a big mess, but i did repent. and if i could do it all over again, i would have said the right thing!!! but the guilt still remains.
so right now i'm very careful on what i say!!! and i always try to think before i speak (most of the time). i've realized that there are times that people need to hear the truth and some times you need to sugar-coat things for them.
i hope that the calls won't stop... cuz in reality, it does give me this sense that i'm still important and that somehow, even though we don't see each other that often, i still feel like i haven't missed anything a friend wouldn't want to miss!!!
a lot of my friends call me up whenever they have a problem, and most of the time, they just need an ear to listen to them. And i gladly give them mine, cuz it flatters me that they trust me enough to hear all those sensitive issues concerning their lives!!! but listening has not been enough, now they call me up cuz they need some sympathy, understanding, an opinion, or simply someone to back their side!! someome to justify the wrong they've done!!!
