Darn it.
Kudos to hotmail and the "Forgot Your Password" thingy in BlogDrive, I was able to open my super-old college online diary aka "blog" (after some years...hahaha). And now I am enjoying the delights of re-reading what I have previously written and laughing at myself for being so...comical, smitten (heeeheeee), grade-conscious (but of course!), and immature. Haha those were the days.
One sad thing: it seems to me that my English grammar is way better back then. Roar. It should progress, not regress, right? Ay, practice, practice.

adj. Trademark - the "boyish" walk | the Garfield-ish eyes
adj. WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) - I feel natural, I act natural. No pretentions, no masks, just the plain, real me.
adj. Perfectly Imperfect - procrastinates until the last minute to do anything | grade - conscious but doesn't make the effort to improve them | temperamental | can sometimes be too opinionated | cruel at times | stubborn | indolent | harsh to the people she abhors | forgives but never forgets
adj. Outlier - beyond the average! (Haha!)
adj. Living paradox - queen of irony | has a love - hate relationship with challenges | sometimes optimistic, sometimes pessimistic | sometimes mediocre, sometimes an expert | shy & introverted but friendly & approachable | always wants what she can't have
adj. Weird (in better terms, unique) - a complex mixture of different qualities in one creature : God - fearing | family - centered | unica hija | homebuddy | boyish | simple | creative | childlike but is never childish | cynical about love | wants to be independent | open - minded | responsible | practical | honest | observant | as unpredictable as life can get

It pays to be a bit too nosy sometimes...
1:35 AM - Wednesday, January 27, 2010
...and checking someone else's facebook for information is very rewarding, indeed.
Talk about getting hold of information that can either push you off the cliff or make you hang on the knot. Whoever said "truth hurts but it sets you free" is a genius.
Off you go, dear dove. Time to fly high and hover over unchartered territories!!!

Yesterday, I was very shocked when I heard the news...
Shi: Soc, alam mo na ba yung news?
Me: What news?
Shi: Check your FaceBook
Me: Wala akong access sa FB dito sa office. Blocked.
Shi: Si Men... (referring to our HS classmate)
Me: Baket? Ano nangyari kay Norman/Men?
Shi: He's gone.
Me: Anong he's gone? As in deads? (the heck, how can I be this insensitive to use such term?!)
Shi: Oo
Me: Weh? (still skeptical) Anong nangyari?
Shi: Ginigising raw ng mommy nya kaninang madaling araw tas ayaw nang magising
Me: Totoo?
Shi: Oo nga. Nasa Funeraria Paz yung remains nya
OMFG!
Norman Eric Dacuycuy, a former classmate, passed away due to cardiac arrest while sleeping. Like what I've said before, his mom was trying to wake him up yesterday morning but he's not moving a finger. Then she has noticed that his lips were already bluish. So they immediately rushed him to the hospital. DOA.
Sad news.
Up to now, I still cannot believe it. We're not that close, really, but I've had some hilarious-albeit-sensible-slash-enlightening conversations with him in the past. He's a gentleman, a very funny person who cracks jokes that can cheer up your lethargic and melancholic days, and a very respectable classmate who gave the COCC trainees a chill whenever he barks commands (I'm not sure if he's the corp commander or if he's in the next highest position) and can make his "kamote" tropas behave whenever there's a need for it. A very good person, a loving person to his family, and a friend that you can always count on.
I went to his wake this afternoon. and I got to see some of my HS batchmates that I haven't seen for a long time. It's great to see those old faces, too bad the circumstance is not pleasant. I haven't seen him for quite some time too (I think I last saw him when I was still in college, we were both seated at the back of an fx going to Blumentritt and we had a really great conversation). Too bad that I have to see him through a clear glass, but I'm quite happy because I had the chance to see him for the last time.
Men, thanks for gracing our lives with your presence even for a short while. You will always be remembered and will be greatly missed. The people that you have left are grieving, but the knowledge that you are already with the creator lessens the pain. Thanks for being a nice classmate, a great friend, for cheering us up, for defending me in one unforgettable instance (I know you probably don't remember the instance when Mako gave a shit on me about that SC Presidency election but your defense really meant a lot to me), for being my ka-partner sa Mr.& Ms.Junior (talagang naalala pa...hahaha) and for touching the lives of so many people. Our prayers are with you and may you rest in peace.
I hope you liked my simple eulogy. Ciao, my friend!

I was watching 24 Oras a while ago when...
Pia Guanio: "Jackie Rice, busy sa trabaho, ibig bang sabihin, wala na siyang time para sa lovelife ngayong 2010?"
Then a crazy idea-slash-fact hit me hard:
I have time for love life, however, love life does not have any time for me.
Ehehehehehehe

I was talking to HIM about my computer. Yes, he was here, at our home. I invited him to come over because we have a small salu-salo for my birthday. My parents & our other friends were at the sala, singing some good old songs in the videoke.
Suddenly, my father decided to change the VCD (for the videoke...yeah, I know, so laos, we still haven't manage to buy a Magic Sing or Extreme Videoke Microphone) and played some of the 90's and year 2000's videoke songs...
Him: Teka, M2M ba yung kumanta ng kantang yun?
Me: *patay malisya kunyari* Ah oo
Him: Hahaha Pretty Boy yun, di ba??? *smiles*
Me: *kilig* Haha oo...naalala mo???
..then the both of us laughed.
Hay, good times, good times. (0_o)
