just checked my temperature because i felt weirder than usual.

38.7 degrees celcius

no wonder i was cranky today.


: 4:15 PM

went out with Issac today to watch Pathfinder, also because he's one of the rare species left that i know who's attending poly. :/

first things first: ZOMP now i know why Pathfinder is rated NC-16.
it is distastefully goryish.
heads getting lopped off, arrows whizzing through the air, through eyeballs, through heads, people getting ripped into four directions.. etc. exactly what you would expect from barbaric Vikings when they come across peaceful Noth Indian Americans. *rolls eyes*
it was pathetically cruel, the way they spotted their first victim, who was a little girl. she was screaming her head off and stupidly leading them straight to the village, where they completely ran the place over like tanks rolling over ants.
[oh yeah, Issac wants to be an ant. he was totally going on randomly about how the ants in their own little world attend ant polys and ant vcomm courses and draw on their walls.. ???? i seriously don't know what's going on in his head.]
i think the main character -the oh-so-heroic figure who oh-so-happened to be away when the village got slaughtered- was Eomer from LOTR. can't be sure. everyone looks the same with their charcoal-smudged faces. XD
blah blah blah, vengeance for his massacred family, hero hunts the Vikings down and pushes them off a mountain with em all trussed together like turkeys for the pot. oh and did i mention he actually survives this massive avalanche? and they never seem to die of hypothermia even after falling through ice into water in the middle of winter.
after reading my opinion of Pathfinder above, i find it dripping with sarcasm for some reason. oh well. Pathfinder was totally not what i'd expected, but it's ok for gory and glory i guess. thank god i didn't watch 300.

after that, we just loitered around, fattened ourselves at macs, loitered some more, got a 2-month-belated present for Shuyi, drowned ourselves in supposedly horrid mocha at Spinelli, and then we parted ways. oh did i mention i sold Vampire Knight to some person called Manny -emmanuel_1v23 was his nick online- for $5 for 2 books? Yesh, i know i'm totally ripping myself off. heck.
can you believe that i thought it was a girl?! no, i can see that you don't. it was totally obvious from his nick, but i dint realize. how blind am i? very.
it wasn't til i called and a relatively deep voice answered that i saw the light. and then i started freaking. honestly, what kind of guy buys Vampire Knight? i got an even bigger shock when i saw who it was.
it was that Kira cosplayer from EOY'06! *freaks out*
no, not that he was particularly hot or anything, just that he seemed to know Finny from Maple and that he wasn't exactly quite what i'd expected. so i walked up, and when he spoke i had to struggle to keep a straight face. not that he was funny or anything, but it was just that -zomp please i'm not being evil- he sounded really gay. GAYGAYGAYGAY. and even Issac agreed!
i'm just trying to be honest -pure and honest we all are aren't we? HAH- so yeah, there goes my friday. oh freak i just remembered i haven't done my homework for tomorrow's class. damn.
*sigh*
for some reason, i keep meeting weird people. :/
and i'm the weirdest of em all..


20070328 : 4:13 PM

*phew* it's hard being a mediator.

*wipes sweat perspiration*

the day started with me waking up at 1130. D: [ZOMG I'M SUCH A PIG. PEEG] it was going to be another slow-moving day.. or so i thought. Da went to pick Bakabee, but later called me to sms her because she hadn't shown up and he'd ben waiting in the school foyer for her. [this was the first warning sign.]
after that, i heard keys at the door. [second warning sign] they sounded like Bakabee's, so i was thinking, 'zomp, what if she'd went home without knowing that Da was gonnya be picking her up?' i got up out of my comfort zone in front of the com screen, then i heard Da's voice and relaxed slightly. mistake here. the warning bells began to scream when i realized that Da was in one of his moods again.

"IF YOU SAY THAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS FAMILY, THEN GET OUT NOW!"

*sigh*
it was another Apocalyptic Aftermath scenario, similar to the incident a couple months back. i think i'd blogged about that one too, so i guess you can imagine. as usual, Bakabee was using her mouth without thinking. i swear, that girl could trigger a rain of nuclear atomic bombs with her words.
anyways, yeah, so it was her phone which triggered it as usual. if i hadn't mentioned it, she lost her barely-month-old Sony Ericsson Z610i, and was stuck with my old Nokia 6230. of course, discontentment set in, and after a month she was whining -on the verge of demanding- for a new phone. and of course, that phone she'd set her eyes on was definitely more more expensive.
and of course, Da's response was "if you show improvement". whee. of course, she wasn't satisfied with that.
Aunt R was gonnya pass on her Sony Ericsson phone to her a couple days back after hearing that Bakabee needed a phone. and of course, Bakabee being her usual spoilt insensible self, didn't like hand-me-downs, and i don't exactly know what she said, but from what i heard from Da it was something along the lines of Aunt R giving her that phone because it was lousy and she didn't want it. a bit insulting i guess, to jump to conclusions like that. both sides exchanged fire until my Da erupted with her lines of "you people are bias and i wanna leave blah blah nya nya".

why is it always me who has to go pick up the pieces and fit 'em all together again? *sigh* i wonder why Bakabee cannot see the way everybody else does. why does she always think the world's against her? why is she so blind to all the things that are given to her, and always look to the other side, where "the grass is greener"? i suppose it's human nature to envy, but not to that extent! i really hope that she will be able to see what she has.. before she loses everything.

anyways, long story short, as usual, i talked to Da, then i talked to Bakabee, and i persuaded the latter to go apologize and stuff. after all, the largest thing in this world is prolly a parent's forgiveness. no matter what stupid things you do, no matter what stupid things you say, they will still always love you and hug you back in the end.

i sound mushy.

this is a long post..

yesterday i popped over to JJC to be extra and see how Finny was doing [you know how weird she can be, i was kinda worried she'd be like all alone :/] and miracles of miracles, she actually had made friends. although the ones i saw were both members of the opposite gender, well, that's beside the point. point is, now i can feel a bit more relieved knowing that she seems to be settling down fine.
one of her friends called xing woo or other apparently is from RVPS *shock* but i have no recollection of him and he certainly doesn't remember me either. i asked Terrance about it, but he had no clue either. hmm.. maybe we existed in different social circles. that's like DUH.
finally saw Dinky today after a tedious hour-long bus journey [someone slap me next time if i ever decide to ride 174 from JJC to Orchard], and on the way, it was kinda awkward for me, because Finny and her 2 friends were from JJC, and i wasn't, and i didn't talk much because i felt damn extra. *sigh* it could have been easy to crap around, but for some reason i clammed up.. never mind, i shan't angst.
and like ZOMG, Dinky was working in Toast Box! not a bad place i guess, but it was kinda funny to see her in her workclothes. *stifles grin* and Char! in her cleaner-ish CJC uniform! all JC uniforms look the same to me, mebbe different colors is all. haha!

we went out again today, because Dinky had an offday, and we just wanted to hang for a bit and reminisce. of course, Finny din't turn up. [why "of course"? big DUH. not that i'm particularly pissed off or anything, just a twinge of annoyance and resignment. oh and add a good unhealthful dosage of disappointment.] so me and Dinky just lingered and loitered around Orchard til Char ended school, and we hopped to Far East for a bit. i ended up spending all my moolah *wails* and Char bought a piece of paper worth $5. XD
oh and i finally found Haru! i must have been blind to miss it though. mebbe because the sign was in Japanese? XD excuses.
oh oh oh oh did i mention Dinky and I ended up binging on that überdelicious warm chocolate cake from Starbucks again? *melts* it's heaven all over again..
and we just sat there, the three of us [NOT FOUR] and reminisced and wasted space and talked and chattered and saw Cinderella the new edition playing in Gramaphone. it was absolutely loverly catching up, and browsing through memories [although some unpleasant], and we should definitely do this often. VERY OFTEN. PREFERABLY WITH MORE PEOPLE LIKE SEVEN.

i've been emailing Pris back and forth recently, BIG NEWS: [i could barely keep this to myself but i shall, and only post the vague contents of the email exchange here] Pris is coming back.. FOR GOOD. *jumps up and down and screams* although i don't know how long it'll be til she gets back [FOR GOOD] because she's yet to find a place in a school *stabs principals who refuses to give her entry*, but who cares? she's coming back! [FOR GOOD]
have i mentioned she's coming back? [FOR GOOD]

oh and i've finished OKAMI, that PS2 game i was so obssessed with. now i'm wandering around my house like a ghost because my life feels empty.
then again, i have no life.
*sigh*


20070319 : 6:20 PM

i was IM-ing FFG halfway when my mother came back, and she said, "Your enrolment package's here, have you seen it?"

ZOMP.

rifling through, i realize there's tons of paperwork to be done. offer letter, student bill, declaration form [to declare what? declare that i'm in NYP?], GIRO form, Edusave form, tuition grant form, tuition fee loan application form, medical report, etc. there's even a nice lil offer on notebooks for NYP people.

*sigh*

why am i getting a really uneasy feeling about this?

orientation's 3rd april, wish me luck that i don't gain the title of outcast.

CAMWHORE ALERT


due to unfortunately popular demand [literally demand] for those soul-scarring pics of my butchered hair, i must yield to the majority. >:

note: the author does not claim responsibility of any medical bills required for any form of therapy or counselling after viewing the shots. images are to be seen at the viewer's own risk.









you have been warned.





#1 - me with the fringe pinned up. i think it doesn't look too horrid when it's pinned up, but Angeline aka Her Majesty said it looked funny and it was better down. *shrugs* *mind screams CAMWHORE* *gets paper bag ready to wear to school*





#2 - me with the fringe down. it doesn't look too bad in the photo, but that's because it's a still image. the hair would flop around messily and soon enough it'd look like a goddamn helmet. T_T
*looks at the posters in the bg* i think the posters are more eyecatching. lookee at the posters everyone, instead of the butchered creature in the front.




#3 - my sister being extra in my blog. i keep getting a yuffie vibe from her.



20070316 : 12:26 AM

wow a post the day right after, aren't i being updatish? XD nah i'm just bored.
today was my da's birthday, can't believe he's 51 already ZOMP. so we went to Waruku Restaurant, which is at East Coast, because my da was curious about it. heck, he's always attracted by all those Japanese fine-dining/contemporary/whatever dining, but i secretly think it's just so he can go and diss their food and pick at it. XD ok that's mean.

anyways, Waruku was awesome. the food was acceptable and the price tag was also affordable, not like those ripoff overpriced Japanese food at various places which come to mind, but this was a serious effort to produce authentic Japanese food, Izayaka style.

items which we wolfed down included
Niku Curry Noodles [slices of seasoned beef in thick Japanese curry with your choice of udon/soba and the udon was great, really chewy, and my da even approved of the curry, which is saying something],
Hokainabe [at least, that's what i think it was, something like a mini-steamboat slash miso-soup-base with a healthy portion of scallop, golden and shitake mushrooms and various other yummy stuff],
Hamatsu [again, aother unsure-of name, yellow tail fish? sashimi which my da ordered - he always orders this at every single Japanese restaurant we go to and bases his rating of the place on this and i have no idea why oh but i remember that a few days back we went to Sushi Tei and he spat the Hamatsu or whatever sashimi out in disgust and told the waitress that it simply wasn't fresh and they cancelled the order ZOMP],
Chawan Mushi [a must-have for my sister and mom],
Stonepot Garlic Fried Rice [the name says it all, this was very fragrant and the rice was just right],
and wonders of wonders, POTATO MENTAI. [no, it's not a made-up word between mental and hentai. it's just like the Tofu Mentai from Nanjya Monjya which is another überloverly Japanese contemporary dining place but i'm sidetracking so therefore back to the point, for those wunnerful n00bs out there who don't know what Mentai is, imagine: a sizzling hot plate, filled to the brim with tofu/potato/whatever you like, and drenched in oodles and oodles of melted cheese and sprinkles of salmon bites. *grin* hungry yet?]

the downside was the Onigiri my da ordered for fun laughter and joy, because it was entirely unimpressive and they didn't use authentic Japanese GREEN seaweed, just the usual blackish ones, and the rice wasn't fragrant. the pre-packaged ones from Meidi-Ya Supermarket are so much better.

oh there was a cute waiter too. *giggles*


..i just realized i haven't said "happy birthday" to my da at all. i just realized a lot of things, i've never said to him for quite a while now. like "goodnight", "i love you", "thank you". and at this point you might gasp in horror at my lack of manners, but i'm talking about something different. most of us can drone "thank you" to strangers, but what i'm talking about is the sincerity in saying it.
i don't know, when has it become so hard for me to open my mouth to say such things? was it because i felt embarrassed by the mushiness of it? was it because i thought i was too old for such things? was it because i simply did not know how to deal with the reactions and emotions?

i shall resolve to say goodnight to my da later when i sleep.


20070315 : 12:55 AM

ZOMP i just realized the last time i posted here was January. eep.
ok, let's see.. what happened in between?

well, there was the class chalet a couple weeks back, where we all got high on Bridge and wanted to do a Hatters Chalet, this time at Aranda which is like so much better than stinky Costa Sands but with a nice price-tag too, but i guess our feelings of high-ness dieded down now, since just about no one can make it.
isn't that just sad? for a while i was pretty gloomy though, and thinking whether i was the only one who had wanted to care, that i was the only one who didn't want us to lose what we had the past years.
but of course i could have slapped myself silly, of course not. somehow, we all ended up walking totally different paths.
Charmaine got into CJC, where apparently the hot factor is smoking;
Finchan to JJC where she's loving the people and the food;
Graceygummy to IJC where she hated at first but began to like;
Christine to MI;
Sarah to JJC? i'm not sure;
Dinky to NP Business;
and me to NYP DMD.

so much for sticking together. but i guess this was inevitable, because we all lead too different lives, and we have too different interests? looking at where we're going, it's amazing how we had managed to form a clique together. XD but i'm really glad we did. it's been fun. and i'll never forget all the retarded times together.

on to the present:
i went to Toni&Guy for a cut+highlights, and i seriously am questioning my sanity now. not about the highlights, that i've wanted to do for a long time. dint i tell myself that i would NOT cut my hair again after the previous cut 2 months ago?
and here i go and cut it until i look like the nicknames given. "Boxface", "Round and Cute" [insert Stanley x Issac doing their weirdo handsigns and Mel x Jeska squeals respectively *groans*]
i shall be wearing a paperbag over my head until the hair grows out to a respectable decent length again. T_T


the round one.

Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
