Supertrip

Got home from our trip yesterday. We were supposed to head home the day before, but due to the many places (there was Naga, Legaspi, and Donsol) to see plus the little time we had, dad decided to extend our stay by a day.

The trip was average: I had many fun moments, but it was equal if not overriden by annoying happenings caused by some of my annoying relatives (particularly by the grown-ups who are miserably single). -_-

I won't be giving a blow-by-blow account of the trip (really?), that'd be too boring and time-consuming. Anyway!

I. On the way

The trip takes eight hours by car, so in order to prevent traffic we had to leave at 4 AM. We met up with our relatives in some gasoline station an hour later.

I've always known that Kyle, my younger brother, is a super-smart kid, and in this trip he again made me aware of how he may be smarter than me. -_- Here's how the conversation went in the car:

(*My family talks about my armpits, which is really annoying*)
Me: Bryan, you forgot to wax my armpits last night.
Bryan: Oh, yeah! I told you I should've waxed it earlier.
Me: It's okay, I waxed them off myself.
Dad: It's really hard, isn't it, having a forest for an armpit.
Me: -_- ...
Mom: (*Defending me*) Kring'll laser her armpits one day.
Kring: Yeah! That I will. Laser.
Kyle: (*Defining laser*) Light amplification by stimulation; emission of radiation.
Everyone: (*Silence, then blood trickles from my nose*)

...

When I was 12 I didn't talk about such things!

What's up with that!

Aren't the eldest children supposed to be the ones to get all the brains their parents have!


So we later found out that he got that definition from the club he joined two years ago, the Book Lovers Club. When did books start to have definitions of lasers? -_-

Moving on...

There have been many breathtaking sites on the way to Bicol. But my favorite was the Lamon Bay in Gumaca.

Stop Over by ~trumpo on DeviantArt
I swear, the bay looks amazing. This picture doesn't do it justice.

So, after a grueling nine-and-a-half hours, we finally made it to Camsur Watersports Complex, or CWC, the resort we stayed at in Bicol.

II. CWC

A brief introduction: CWC is reputed to be the best cable wake park in Asia.

We stayed in the Villa del Ray Villas, which is the most expensive villa in CWC. We had no choice, by the way, coz the other villas were full. We got two rooms, since one room isn't enough for all of us (there were 12 of us).



And have I told you of how we cheat our way to these types of things? Sneaky, I know. And we actually already got banned from some resorts. -_-V Anyway, what we always do is: 1. Not tell the truth of how many we really are and 2. Bring a rice cooker, water heater, food, etc even if it's not allowed. Money is important, people. Must save as much as we can.

Anyway, the villa is so nice! So cozy: the bed and pillows are soft, plus the comfort room and bath room are so appealing to use. Hehe. Plus there's also an outdoor jacuzzi, and the TV has cable, too! Love.♥ I actually thought to myself, when I get a job, I'm going to have a house like this. Bigger, of course, but like this.


There I am, trying out the jacuzzi.

III. Second day: CWC + Mount Mayon

Since CWC is the best cable wake park in Asia, we shouldn't miss on trying wakeboarding ourselves. Though I'm not sure whether we wakeboarded or kneeboarded... whatever.

It was quarter to nine when we went to the man-made lake to go wakeboarding. I kinda expected that the grown-ups would just be watching and not joining us to go wakeboarding, and I thought right. It was just me with my brothers and my two cousins.

From left: Kyle, Bryan, me, Drex, and Ryan


Wakeboarding/Kneeboarding/Whatever we did there wasn't so bad when we got the hang of it. At first it was hard to hold on to the cable, I didn't expect it to be that fast. Plus my arms and hands hurt from holding on. But later on I got hooked, although I didn't last longer than one whole round, and then I'd fall to the water.

By the way, Tita Rose was sooo embarrassing. When I got back from my first round at the lake, she saw that I was full of sand, thus she called me "Miss Earth" After that, whenever I'd go wakeboarding again, she would shout at the top of her lungs, "GO MISS EARTH!!!" and people (which included LOTS of foreigners) would go look around, saying, huh, there's a Miss Earth candidate here? And when they see me they're all, oh, so it was a joke, after all. So embarrassing!

After lunch we went to Legaspi, a good one and a half hour from CWC, to see the Mayon Volcano (or as my Tita Rose called it, Mount Volcano) from the Cagsawa Ruins. When we got there we were disappointed as Mayon was covered by the clouds. Turns out, the Mayon Volcano seldom shows itself in its full glory, because clouds always envelope it.

With my brothers at the submerged tower
With mom at the submerged church ruins

Apparently, mom is trying to make me look vain.

It was here that dad found us a tourist guide, Kuya Jules. He would be with us on the next day of our trip.

By this time I was already worrying about whether or not we'll make it on time to CWC so that I could watch my favorite anime, Samurai X on Studio 23, 8 PM. I wanted to watch the episode especially since it would feature my long-time crush, Soujiro Seta (loved him since 5 years ago).

So handsome... -_- too bad you're just a cartoon.

So when we were finished with the Cagsawa Ruins, I thought, finally we're going to go back now... but it turns out that we weren't. We still went to some mountain top. And it was already 7 PM when the adults decided to return to CWC, and with a hour and a half trip back I didn't get to watch the episode with my beloved Soujiro. My cousins and brothers sympathized with me since they're also avid watchers of Samurai X.

And here was when a particular unmarried relative started to get annoying. Argh. So irritating. I won't put it into details now, but s/he wanted the trip to go his/her way, and s/he wants us younger ones to behave to the point where just a little witty remark will make him/her turn to us and give us a mean look. S/he has lost the child in her.

IV. Third day: to Donsol

By this day Kuya Jules was with us to be our tourist guide. We went to various places on our way to Donsol, which is in Sorsogon.

--> Hoyop Hoyopan Cave

Now here is a good part of the trip. The Hoyop Hoyopan Cave is beautiful and exciting. And who would've thought that there'd be human fossils there, dating back from 200 BC? I saw it with my own eyes, a part of the feet and the ribs. Too bad I didn't get to touch it, though.


The funniest thing happened inside the cave; too bad I didn't get to record it since it's worthy to be aired on Bitoy's Funniest Videos. See, there's a part of the cave wherein the holes are small and you have to squeeze your way through them in order to move on to the other parts of the cave. All of us didn't have difficulty in squeezing through; it's Filipino-sized, after all. But my huge Tita Rose had a different story. Half of us have already passed through the holes, and it was her turn. She couldn't fit! All of us had to go through before she could try to squeeze herself again. It was REALLY FUNNY. She tried every possible move, bent her body in every possible angle for the sake of going in. It took so long, and all of us were laughing. It was hilarious, I tell you.

(Okay, just now Kyle corrected some of the grammatical errors he found on this post. T_____T I hate him.)


My family + relatives.
Seated: Ninong Ipoy and me, holding a crystal
Huddled on the left, clockwise: Drex (in green shirt), Ninang Tetet, Ninong Joji, Ryan, Tita Rose, Ace, Bryan
Huddled to the right: Mom, Kyle, Dad

We brought some crystals as souvenirs, and the crystals are said to have energizing properties. Just submerge them on your drinking/bathing water for a while and presto. Energizing water.

--> Mayon Volcano

We had lunch after that and went to the Mayon Volcano (not at the tip, of course). We ate there; and it was also there where I found out of the tragedy that struck Kuya Jules. His mother and younger sibling were swept away and killed by the typhoon Reming. I feel sorry for him because of that.


--> Waterfalls

I was tired and wanted to rest after lunch, but the trip wasn't over yet. We went to a waterfall, where we didn't bathe at all. Too bad. This time it was Drex - Tita Rose's son - who made a blooper. He stumbled through one of the boulders. Dad laughed so hard that he put Drex to shame. Poor kid.


And after that we finally went to the place in Donsol where we would be staying. It was a humble beach resort, the TV had no cable (so I can't watch Samurai X again) and there were no fancy stuff or whatsoever.

Then came another blooper from Tita Rose. The kids, along with me and Tita Rose, were at the beach, and since Tita Rose and I were just there to watch the kids, she decided that both of us play a game. She drew a big circle and told me that we run along the lines of the circle and tag each other. So we did. I was having so much fun running around the circle (we looked like idiots), and after a while, when she tagged me she lost control of herself, ran outside the circle and fell face-first to the sand just near the water. AND I LAUGHED SOOOO HARD! I'm laughing now just by the thought of it. Anyway, as I said, I laughed so hard that I peed in my shorts. That's how funny it was.

IV. Day IV: Whale-watching and going home

The reason why we went to Donsol in the first place was to interact with the whale sharks, or butanding as we call it. So at 8 AM we went to another resort, just near the one we were at, as that was the place where these interactions were financially settled.

Dad and Ninong Joji didn't bother coming, because aside from the butanding interaction being expensive (3,500 pesos), they also had to rest as they were going to drive us home.

Anyway, first up to see the butanding were me and Kyle, since there were only two guys who were with us so we had to go at it two at a time. And guess what I saw?

A whale shark, baby. It's HUGE!

It was amazing. It's the first time I've seen a butanding so close. Kyle and Ryan were lucky, though; they were able to touch it.

We finished after three hours, after that we ate, packed our things, and went home. Though we went back to CWC to stay the night there; it was already 8 PM and dad didn't want to drive all the way home at an ungodly hour. And as usual, we cheated into sleeping in one of the hotel rooms.

V. Fourth day: HOME

We started at 8 AM. The only different thing about this trip is that we took a different route in Atimonan. We drove through the Quezon National Forest Park, and I tell you, it was AMAZING. Depending on the person, it may be seen as frightening or beautiful. But the park really was amazing. It was as if I was in a place where fairies and anitos reside. The trees were humongous, and the roads were all zigzagged. You MUST go there at lest once in your life.

We got home at 6 PM, just in time for American Idol. Phew! Finished, at last.

At last!!! I've seen MCR!!! Shooooot it. Gerard Way's sooooo f*cking freaking handsome!!! I'm still having a hangover!!!

Anyway, videos galore. I took all of these from my phone, darn it. Why didn't I bring the digital camera? Anyway, for more videos, click here. (BTW, videos that I put here in my blog? They're the ones you must watch.Ü)

Oh, and I love MCR as MCR, okay? After watching the videos, you may think that I only love My Chemical Romance because of Gerard, haha. But I solemnly swear that MCR is the only band that I'll love like this. (Addiction? Not a healthy thing :-P) I actually know all the songs they sang at the concert by heart!


1. "What's up, Pinoys!" - Not a song, it's Gerard talking! Waaah~!!♥ Oh yeah, Gerard's got a pretty dirty mouth, but I guess he's just like that. LOL. And HEY!! HE'S GOT A WEDDING RING IN HIS FINGER!!! NOOOO!!!




2. "So far away from home" - Again, Gerard talking. Darn it, the more I recollect, the more I'm falling in love! Or like!





3. "Do you guys want to sing a song?" - GERARD! AGAIN! Yeah you guys might be rolling your eyes right now but I don't care! Anyway, GERARD IN HIS MOST FREAKISHLY CUTE VOICE!!! "Do you want to, though?" Cute! But ef it, the cutest voice he made was when he asked us audience, "Can I see you again?" Really cute, like an innocent kid! Too bad I didn't get to record it!





4. "Welcome To The Black Parade" - This generation's Bohemian Rhapsody




5. "We'll come back when we're fucking old men" - Can you believe that? Gerard said they'll come back when they're old men! "...Which is in about four years." Oh okay, I thought you're saying you'll come back when you guys are already sagging and white-haired and have kids with jobs.

Four years! By then I'll be 21, so I'll be legally of age!~ (More of that later)




6. "Cancer" - This is the nicest record I have, dang. Trivia: I sing this song everyday, when I'm brushing my teeth. Coz the song's short, but it's enough for the fluoride in the toothpaste to act on my teeth.




That's that! But again, if you want to see more videos, you could go to Youtube and search my user name, kringlacson.

Oh yeah, after the concert I lingered in the venue a little longer to find a way to meet-and-greet MCR. Have I told you that I even brought my birth certificate to convince the bouncers or whoever to let me in in their tent? (My birthday's next week, so maybe they'll have a little pity on me and let me in) And I was so close! So effing close in meeting My Chemical Romance! But when I was on my way to convince the remaining bouncers/guards (as I've already convinced many others, one of them even told me the way to the tent), I saw the band's van go away!!! NOOOO!!! They're gone!!!

So disappointed. I asked random people in charge of the concert where MCR was staying. Some said Sofitel; others Intercon. Dang it! Why don't they just tell me the effing truth?! Do I look like a crazy Lennon-ish fan?! As if I'll shoot Gerard down if I see him! Wawa. I won't do that!

And yeah, about being 21. Gerard said they'll come back when they're "fucking old mean, which is in about four years" And in that four years, I'll be expecting lots of things when they come back, namely:

Scenario 1. Gerard's going to be single again!
Scenario 2. I'm going to be single (and legal!) at 21!
Scenario 3. I'll win a meet-and-greet contest; or,
Scenario 4. Be a celebrity by that time and be lucky enough to interview/meet-and-greet MCR for free!
Scenario 5. I'm going to meet MCR (not just Gerard, okay), and hug all of them!
Scenario 6. I'm going to give each of them a Barrel Man! (Only in the Philippines!)
Scenario 7. I'm gonna give Gerard some extra TLC!
Scenario 8. Gerard'll find me attractive!
Scenario 9. And the rest is history!

Yes! I can seriously imagine it now! Hahaha!

Darn it! MCR, make sure you come back!!!

So much to do, so little time

"Me, fail english? That's unpossible." -Matt Groening
We still have some recollection crap to attend to tomorrow. Noooo!!! I'm so freakin' tired already, man.

Anyway, busy week as usual. Rai, JuBa, JoBa, Jil and I had to record a story for our English 102. I had fun actually, my group's so funny. We always joke around so I really looked forward to doing our project.


Yeah, that's us. ;P Clockwise from left: JoBa, me, Justine, Jil, and Rai

I don't have anything to write about. Nothing's happening in my life right now. Well, I'm waiting for Christmas vacation so that I could finally fix my life (life=studies. LOL XP). I made such a mess these past two months that the only way things could return to normal is through a long, fruitful vacation. Yes! Only a week to go! You could go through this, KrinGALING. Ü

For those of you who missed the Amazing Race Asia Season 2 episode 2 which was shot here in the Philippines...

Chenen!!! Ü (Watch it!)

If you want to finish the episode, you could either check the menu or type 'Amazing Race Asia 2 Ep 2' in Youtube.

Oh goodness, Marc and Rovilson are first to arrive to the pit stop again. Which is good! I'm mighty happy and proud of them. Henry and Terri are also a great team, they fight a lot but I love them. They're actually kinda funny, especially Terri 'coz she shouts a lot. Haha. But other people just damn hate her, even some Filipinos! Come on, people! The race has got her stressed out so she's cranky, of course, but I don't think she's like that all the time!

Amazing Race Asia is my favorite show of all time. I can't wait for the next episode. Go team Philippines!

By the way, last Sunday, dad, mom, me, and my brothers checked the Mini Cooper which my tito's cousin is selling. And the Mini Cooper was just... so beautiful.

See that? It's really nice: very shiny and a head-turner. But it's as if dad will buy this car. He wouldn't. And to think it's being sold at only 2oo-300K pesos. Well, it's okay. Dad said something about having a Mini Cooper when I'm only a beginner; that those large trucks wouldn't see the car and might smash it, so it's cool with me.

So I have much plans this vacation. Aside from the driving lessons, I'm also going to take up cooking lessons (more of that later), and hopefully piano lessons. And there's also my application of tranfer to UP. And... there's also my family's (and relatives') plan of going to either Boracay or Batanes(!). So much to do! I can't wait for summer! Ü

Okay, so about the cooking lessons. I don't know how to cook. Really, I'm such a loser. I feel that I'm so worthless as I can't do anything; my true potential is still untapped even at this old age of mine (sixteen!). And I believe in doing absolutely everything while I'm still alive, you know? That's the only way I could reach my ultimate goal: self-actualization (thank you, Maslow!). That's sort of like Nirvana, I guess.

Here's how my conversation (on the cooking lessons) with mom went...

Me: Mom?
Mom: Yeah?
Me: Could I have cooking lessons this summer?
Mom: (Without hesitation) Okay.

I was like, what? She approved that fast? Wow, uh, great, I guess

One reason why I'd like to learn to cook is to have more of a feeling of self-importance. But the primary reason is... "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" Hahahaha. Come on, I want to know how to cook when I get my first boyfriend, man! (Yes, I'm an NBSB. No BF Since Birth. And also a girl who has NBK. Never Been Kissed. Haha. Am I sharing too much of my innocence already?)

Alright, long post, I guess. This is an accomplishment. Sorry for the typos.

For the name of grades

Finals are coming next week, so I might as well study now.

Dad wants to remove our internet access as my brothers got very low marks in their report cards. Imagine, my super-smart brother, Kyle, got a 77 in Science, and the subject even is his forte! And Bryan, well... he got two failing marks: one in English (72) and one in Math (74).

I could not believe this. Well, Bryan really does have a problem regarding his academics, but I swear, he doesn't even touch the computer. Kyle, on the other hand, couldn't take his hands off of the computer. He's seriously addicted, and it isn't funny. He spends much of his time playing internet games, going to Neopets and the likes, and whenever mom would ask him what he's doing, he'd open a new window and say that he's doing his "research" Seeing that he got very low marks, mom now knows that he was just making excuses.

Couldn't my brothers just stop playing every once in a while and focus on their studies? I know they're really smart, but they're... okay, we're just too damn lazy to start with anything. If there's one enemy we have, it's sloth. But I have to study, now, as mom told me just this week, "Kring, sana makita na namin grades mo para matuwa naman kami ni daddy (Kring, we hope to see your grades soon so that your dad and I have something to be happy about)" Sad.

---

Last Thursday, my H-101 group mates and I went to Sandra's house to interview her mom. Her mom's dad is involved in the Martial Law, and that seems to be the thing we needed for our History report.

We had our lessons first, and I passed the portfolio I made for MCCISR (Miriam College Culture, Identity, and Social Responsibility), which took me about five hours to make the night before(procrastination is so fun), and we were dismissed at 3:00, since History had a free cut.

Before going to Sandra's house, Carla, Ange, Molly, and I went to Carla's house first. I don't know why we did, but I was so enthrilled to see Baby Belle. Belle is Carla's daughter, and she is honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Carla and Belle... aww. They look much like each other, don't they?Ü

Belle is just the sweetest thing ♥

Both Ange and Belle are cute and cuddly xD

Belle wants Mama to read a book

And she's playing the PSP! Goodness, it's pink!

And I just find Belle smart, she's only two, I think, but she speaks good English. Aside from that, she expresses her thoughts well.

Belle: *accidentally puts water on her pajamas*
Carla's mom: Oh my, Belle,
we're going to change your clothes.
Belle: Yucky.
Carla: Who's yucky?
Belle: Baby Belle.

Sweet.Ü Belle said a lot more smart stuff, but I forgot what they are. Too bad. Dear, when I'm going to have a baby, I want one as adorable and smart as Belle. :D

After a few minutes, we left the house and went to McDonalds, as Sandra said that that would be our meeting palce. When we arrived, we went to Sandra's house, which is in Pasig. We had quite a long trip.

Sandra's house is so beautiful! It has a warm atmosphere and an earthy vibe. There are lots of antiques and the place is very clean. It was there that we met Tita, Sandra's mom: she's a very friendly, very sweet woman. She hugs and kisses Sandra all the time we were there! It was real funny, but I was ashamed that I laughed. I mean, come on, Kring, it's embarrassing to laugh just because a mother is showing her affection for her daughter. And Sandra was just flushed with discomfiture.

Before starting the interview, we were given a special treat: pizza!

My pizza! It's really big, I was full by the time I finished my first. I took a second helping anyway. Hah, glutton.

S&R pizza. It's huge. I know that this big of a pizza is common in other countries, but it isn't in the Philippines.

After eating, my group mates and I talked about random things like Carla and Pancho (the lovely parents of Belle), cockroaches, our block mates, and other things. Then we went to the living room to start with the interview.

My group mates (from the left): Elisha, Abigail, Ange, Carla, and Molly. Where's Sandra?

The interview started, and Tita talked about all she knew on the Martial Law. I listened intently and learned new things, and how Marcos had earned an estimated $100 Billion during his reign. Corrupt man, I tell you. Then she gave us some information regarding what she knew, like the secrets of the Martial Law and what the general mass doesn't know.

After the interview and some goofing around ("We would like to thank our sponsors, S&R pizza, Coke, Heinz, Parmesan Cheese, etc!"), mom called me and told me that we'd meet at SM Hypermart so that I wouldn't have to commute home, since it was already 7:00 in the evening, and it's dangerous to commute at this time when you're alone.

Carla dropped me off at the walkway, so I went to Hypermart and waited for mom. When she arrived, we went home and talked about lots of things at the car.

Mom said that she was being offered a job of being a store manager at Australia, and she's thinking about working there. That being said, there might be a possibility that we're going to migrate. And I don't want to.

Philippines is my home. No matter how dirty or dangerous it is here, I've learned the ways and laws by which we abide. I love the food, the culture, the weather, the jokes, everything. If we move to Australia, I'm going to have a hard time adjusting, and it'll be lonely, as my relatives are staying here, so we'd have no one to visit to, to make us laugh, and to give us a hell of a good time on Sundays. :(

---

By the way, last Wednesday, our block was dismissed early - 10:30 AM - since we didn't have Filipino. I thought I was going to come home early, but I was wrong.

Jil withdrew money since she and Pau (her lovee) would be seeing each other, and since she had money... (*evil smirk*)

(*We're walking, then we come near KFC)
Me: Jil.
Jil: ...
Me: Jil, you still owe me something, you know that.
Jil: ...
(*We're outside KFC)
Me: Jil... I'm hungry... remember when you told me that you were going to
pay me back when I accompanied you to Robinsons?
Jil: ...
Jil: Okay, Rai, Kring, let's eat at KFC. What do you guys want? My treat.
Rai: (*Disbelief) Kring, I couldn't believe you!

So Jil treated us to lunch, and I just couldn't help but be embarrassed with what I did (thank uoi, Raizza, for making me feel that way). All the time we were in KFC, I was extra nice to Jil.

I love you, Jil. :D

Yummy. I was starving by the time I was eating this.

The three of us spent, I think, two to three hours talking about anything and everything, and I had a great time sharing my stories and listening to theirs. I couldn't believe that I could easily open to them. Aw, Jil and Rai are just great.Ü

After that, Pau arrived. Finally! Jil was hungry 'coz she waited for Pau so that they could eat together.

Jil and Pau!Ü They're going to celebrate their fourth anniversary next month.Ü

Rai and I were laughing our heads off as Jil and Pau were so funny when they were together. Lol, I hope we could bond like this again.Ü

So, that concludes my post. It's real long, and like I said, I still have to study. I wish I woud. -_- Au revoir!

Barrio fiesta and drunk men

Strange, suddenly my grandfather's all better now. He's strong again! Whoa. He recounted the story to everyone back in Cagayan de Oro, but he skipped the part about his secret, as he always did. Actually, it was only my aunt whom he have told of it.

I'm happy. This is a great day :]]

What makes it all the more happier is that I just found a way to transfer all the multimedia from my phone to the PC, so I could place my pics heeerrre! Yahoo! I could finally share my life through photograph! XD

Anyway, the school had a Barrio Fiesta yesterday. Barrio Fiesta is when we ourselves cook food from the island we're assigned on. My group was assigned to Visayas.

What we prepared:





Adobong Dilaw (Marinated chicken meat seasoned with vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, and spices, only that this one's color... yellow.)



Lumpiang hubad, or, in english, naked spring roll.


Bocarillo, dessert.


Maja Blanca with corn, another dessert.

Yummy. I love our food presentation :)


Of course, there were many other groups which had Philippine foods from different islands, so catching the attention of a customer can be pretty hard.Ü

But before food was served, some sections performed dances from the different tribes of the Philippines.

Bicolanos performing a dance on courtship


Igorots of the Cordillera region

Uh... I didn't catch the name of this tribe. :( All I know is that they use bamboos.


Leyte tribe performing the Tinikling. This is not the Philippine national dance. Miriam College said it was. *rolls eyes* FYI, Miriam, the national dance is Cariñosa.

Well, after that, it was eating time! XD

I dressed up my jeans, tee, and sarong in the comfort room, and when I got back, my group mates were a bit surprised coz...



...Molly and I were wearing the same thing.ö (Yes, I'm back to my awkward stage. Pfft. SUCKS!)


Anyway, I served food for a while (the Maja Blanca and Adobong Dilaw was in a big, big demand), but seeing people eating all the delicious food made me hungry. So I left my group and went around the gym, picking out which to eat.

After going round the gym. Gosh, this is so exciting.Ü


Oh, look, there's Barney! Sir Ringo! I see he has so much on his plate.


After eating... I'm so friggin' full. I'm telling you.

Wooh! At about 11:30 AM we were done. I dressed back to my school uniform, but before leaving, I saw this girl whom... I'm not in good terms with. I was like, Oh God, please don't make me talk to her. I just want her to leave me alone. Thankfully, she didn't bother talking to me.

Got home early and proceeded to learning HTML. Crap, I need to make my own skins now.

BTW, here are the videos of my drunk uncles!!!


Ninong Joji. Haha. Sorry bout the low quality of the vid.


This one's hilarious. Ninong Ipoy is a very silent type when he's sober, but now that he's drunk... all hell breaks loose. XD

On high with emotions

I watched Kapuso Mo, Jessica Sojo, and they featured this video of CPDRC inmates: Cebu Jailhouse rockers. They're dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"

This video makes me so happy and proud of the discipline these people have. To think that they're in prison, criminals, and yet they are able to prove that they're better than we think.

The world seems to be much better than I have thought.

I love it!:)

On a different note, I cried while Kapuso Mo, Jessica Sojo, discussed child abuse. It showed a kid who died because of her Japanese stepfather's lashing. She vomited a lot after the abuse, and when she was sent to the hospital, she was dead on arrival. And she was only three years old! Shoot. Another was a nine-year-old boy who was binded by his mother and stepfather, then he accidentally fell on the stairs. He died because of a head injury.

These parents have no right to hurt their children. Have they no mercy? Can't they see their child crying, begging, moaning in pain, while they're being beaten? These abused children are innocent. Whatever wrong they've done, parents have NO RIGHT to mistreat them. Tsk. I'm so angry and dissappointed that this continues to happen, even while I'm talking, even while you're reading. I will do something about this. I promise.

I miss Blogger
