Finally.
After some weeks (and it somehow seemed like an eternity to me), I finally had the time (and the drive) to surf the net, check my friendster account, and blog. So much with my poorness (haven't got enough money to buy an internet card...blame it on the continuous "pangho-hold-up ng treasurer namin para sa classfund", paying for my "paluwagan"dues and uncontrollabe hunger and craving for tasty yet not-so-affordable foods.)
I thought I'd be an ideal accounting student for the rest of the semester. This first weeks I've been so dedicated to my studies (I'll never let a day go by without reading or answering problems on my auditing problems book or read my Law on Negotiable Students book...). I thought, and I was wrong. And now my innate "Ningas-Kogon" attitudes' slowly waking up. Nyaha. So un-funny, and I don't like it. If I'd continue to be this lazy then later this semester I'd find myself wailing with a 5.
-o0o_o0o_o0o_
Oh, I remember, I haven't told you anything about my "First Day at School" this semester yet, right? Here's the rundown...
Law - Yes, she is my prof...Atty. Ino*****. What a challenge. And because of my fear of her and fear of being ridiculed in front of everyone, I've already read (and somehow, memorized some parts) the whole chapter 1 of the book (Sections 1 - 23). She's kind and funny though, very much like my former tax professor. She jokes around as isn't really fond of scolding students who can't answer her questions (hopefully, at all times). And I can't forget the look in her eyes when she imitated my other prof, Prof. Fud****..."OH MY GOD, NAG-LEAKAGE SILA! NAG-LEAKAGE SILA!" Funny woman. And I love the way she told stories, especially the ones about Imelda Marcos and the Imediffics (I hope the spelling's correct). "Promise..." (with matching taas pa ng right hand as if nanunumpa) is her tagline.
Comp 5 - It's her again. I can't believe it. And I wouldn't say more anymore. Haha.
B. A. - He's kind and very accomodating...and I like him. And his way of conducting "voluntary graded recitations" reminded me of my high school teacher Ma'am Marilene (Macaraig)...and now I wanted to recite more. Teehee.
Marriage & Family - Erm. The prof's fond of asking his students questions like "Do you have a boyfriend or not?", or "Are you still a virgin?", yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. And I somehow hate his mantra. He's getting too personal, I think.
Advanced Accounting - Ma'am Sexy. She's very good pero nabibilisan ako sa pagtuturo niya. Hai, bahala na. I can do it. And need I say more in getting a score of "55" for the first quiz?! Bummer. And I really find her nice...really, and not just because she called me "sexy" or "future accountant". And I like it when she makes witty remarks like that!
Managerial Accounting - Ma'am Moreno! At last, she's my prof again!
Ethics - Sir Cab****. No more comments. I might get shot by a freakin' gun.
Auditing Problems - Si Prof. Idol 2. Haha. Basta siya si Idol 2 at yung palagi niyang kasamang prof eh si Idol 1. Pareho silang henyo sa accounting at pareho ko silang gustong gayahin. I really love the subject (really, or just the topic???). And I felt proud of myself when I totally understood everything about my "previous gray area" in CASH. HeyHey. Maybe I'm born to be a Petty Cash Custodian. Hehe. Hopefully I'm born to do something more than that, maybe to be a good auditor, and good CPA...haha...wish me luck. And I love volunteering to answer the problems (only if I managed to answer the problem...)

My dad recently went into a Photo Studio to have our pics printed. Then when he came back, a so un-intelligent creature gave him the worst remark I've ever heard in my whole life...
That crappy creature:Ay Sir, may kamukha pong artista yang 'ale' dyan sa picture...(referring to my mom) My dad:Sino? That crappy creature: Si Elizabeth Ramsey! *chuckles*
He told this story over dinner and I was soooo angry. SOBRA. I mean, if you don't find a person beautiful, why even bother tell it to someone who KNOWS that person? Isn't that friggin' stupid? What a mongrel. And if it was me and not my dad who heard that nasty comment, maybe I've given that fat ass what she deserved. And I was like...
"Bakit, maganda ka ba???"
So much for this nonsense crap. I might have a heart attack.
Despite my UBER BUSY SCHEDULE, I still took some time just to blog to greet this wonderful human being...
Mom! Happy 64th birthday! You may not be perfect but to me, you are! (Ha? Ang gulo nun ah!) Thanks for everything, especially for your unending patience and the unconditional love that you've given me and dad (Dad?! Soxal!). I hope you won't get tired of taking care of this somewhat-disfunctional-without-you-family family. You're the best and you'll always will be. And I hope to be like you when I become a mom someday: an excellent cook, a disciplinarian, an all-around teacher, a good budget analyst, and sometimes, an intolerable joker. Hehe.
I was watching MTV a couple of weeks ago and I saw this very interesting video. Here It Goes Again by OK Go. Haha! The Treadmill routines' driving me nuts. Whoever's behind this totally unique and entertaining piece is a genius. Kudos to you! And take a closer look at the short, bald guy who's wearing sunglasses...he's very funny. Here it is!
...I'll never get tired of watching this video.
********
Speaking of videos, I was browsing YouTube when I suddenly remembered to find UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe's 2006 cheerdance performance. I also looked for UST vs. ADMU Game 3 (last minute - overtime) video and I was lucky. Watch 'em...they're cool!
********
Jojo. Remember that pop-rnb singer who's got this candy-sweet smile and charming voice? Oh well, she's back with another album, but this time, she's more mature and sexier. Well, you've read that right -- sexier -- but in a wholesome light. I dunno, but this girl's matured a lot. I just saw her new video "Too Little, Too Late" on MTV a couple of minutes ago and I was like, "Whoa, she rocks..." See how innocent she looked like in her first video LEAVE (GET OUT) and realize how she's grown up into a prettier lady in her new video. Kudos to you, JOJO! MOre success 'cause you deserve it! I just hope she doesn't end up like Britney Spears (get way too nasty and liberated, then ended up marrying a loser in the name of Kevin Federline instead of the hot, hunky, rich and loyal lover named Justin Timberlake). Oh, what a waste of beauty, success and wealth! I hope she remains wholesome even if she starts showing a little skin as she grows up even more.
********
Last Sunday night, Joan and I were watching the "*N SYNC Concert Live at the Madison Square Garden" and I developed this huge crush on Justin Timberlake. I'm not really a Justin fan, I dig Lance more way back then. Wala lang. He's talented, handsome, sexy, loyal, etcetera...almost perfect, and his beautiful eyes says it all. Haha. And now I'm planning to buy his CD "Future Sex/Love Sounds". I love the songs (the released ones -- e.g. Sexy Back and My Love) in the album and I know that buying it won't be a waste of moolahs. I crush you, Justin!
********
Speaking of *N SYNC, I just crashed with a shocking news that my former LOVE INTEREST (when I was 13 years old) LANCE BASS is GAY. Darn. How did I know? I was watching Jay Leno's interview with Justin Timberlake a couple of nights ago and then...
Jay: So, how's Lance? Justin: Ah he's doing good. Jay: Is he okay? Justin: Yeah, he's fine. I'll support him all the way.
...and I was like, "What the hell happened to him? Was he lost in space or what?"
Then when we were watching *N SYNC's Concert CD...
Me: Jo, narinig ko sa Jay Leno kinakamusta ni Jay kay Justin si Lance. Bakit kaya? Jo: Ganun? Baka bading si Lance. Me: Ows? Bakit ganun ang naisip mo? Di ko naisip yun ha... Jo: Ewan.
Then I surfed the net last night and saw the shock of my life. Lance Bass, indeed, admitted that he's gay and he's dating this guy who won 1 Million Dollars from The Amazing Race. I forgot his name, darn hard to pronounce and spell. Oh great, one hour, Lance's dancing with the NSYNC boys on tour, then another minute passes and he's planning to conquer space as an astronaut and then the next second, I'll hear that he's too gay to function. What's happening to the world? Loss of good momentum and a waste of good looks. I mean, come on, he's gorgeous...take a look at him! Oh well, I hope he's happy wherever he is now.
Hmmm...and now a queer thought suddenly hit me: "Why do I always have a crush (or fall in love) with guys who are acting like gays, who looks like gays, or are truly gays? "haha, maybe I'm a lesbian and this is an act to maintain the balance in this world. No. Crap.
My ex-boyfriend John? He's not really gay (or else he wouldn't have courted me if he's one) but he's got some gay gestures that's why we (me & my best friend Kristine) tease & call him TINKY WINKY (or badingky-winky, for that matter).
My ex-love interest Drew, I have no idea if he's gay or not but maybe he is because he doesn't have time for girls.
Another ex-love interest named JB, who's often perceived by others as gay because his peeps are girls, he hangs out with girls, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. He even joined his girl friends' slumber party and wore a kamison (with matching make-up and headband). Outrageous!
And now my present love interest whom I call "Papa Cologne". He's handsome, he's tall, he's manly, but sometimes he freaks me out. His lack of interest in girls (or lack of interest in me...hehe...corny joke...maybe he's just TOO BUSY) and his gay-ly gestures sometimes give me the idea that he's a member of the third sex. I hope he's not.
Speaking of him, he texted me kanina! Wala lang...another monumental "kilig moment"...though I know he sent that message to all the people who's numbers are saved in his cellphone...
