money matters

Once again, I'm broke. It seems like ages ago since I opened another bank account at BPI and deposited P9,000, and here I am, struggling not to withdraw all of the remaining cash I have in my ATM. The first time I opened the account, I swore to myself that I'll maintain P5,000 on the account just in case of emergency (i.e. immediate resignation). I'm not saying that I'm resigning soon that's why I'm saving up, but I'm planning to go back to school this October that's why I'm saving up. But the problem is, right beside the bank where I deposit my money is a supermarket. Food. Who can resist the food inside the supermarket? I know I can't!

Japanese 101

Mula sa kulang kong tulog nung Sunday nang dahil sa TV marathon at 30 minutes na OT, sinikap kong gumising ng 7 AM para umattend sa Japanese lessons ko kasama ni Maan, dahil 3 sessions na ako di nakasipot dahil sa halo halong pangyayaring nangyari sa buhay ko. Yes, Japanese... speaking Japanese na ako... siguro naman magkakaintindihan na kami ni Hello Kitty pag dumalawa ako sa bahay niya sa Japan di ba? Weee!!!

But, it's not as easy as it seems to be. Gaya ng English, maraming rules sa grammar nila. Iba ang pagtranslate ng English to Japanese. Gaya na lang nito:

Hanazakari no Kimitachi eh

Dahil ang Hanazakari ay "Flowers in full bloom", at anf Kimitachi ay "you" at ang "No" ay pwedeng "of" or "for", sa makatuwid, ang translation niyan eh "Flowers in full bloom for you". Dali lang di ba? (yung eh, di ko alam eh...)

I am cute

Ang "I" sa Japanese ay "Watashi", kailangan palaging may "wa" sa sentence para iindicate na sentence siya, at syempre ang cute ay "kawaii", pero may am.... san mapupunta yung "am"?

Sabi ni sensei Iris, kapag positive particle gaya ng am, is, are, dapat may desu sa dulo. Kapag kabaligtaran naman, dewa arimasen dapat ang nasa dulo. Kaya ang translation niya ay "Watashi wa kawaii desu". Hehehehe

At habang tumatagal ang tutorials, pahirap naman siya nang pahirap. Siguro dahil

1. Kulang ang tulog ko
2. Di pa ako nag-almusal
3. Sumisigaw ang mga Chinese characters sa utak ko!

Inexplain ko kay sensei yung third reason ko, sabi niya ok lang daw yun kasi may Chinese characters din sa Japanese. At ito ay tinatawag na Kanji. According to her, pagsulatin mo lang ang Chinese at Japanese, magkakaintindihan na daw silang dalawa. At syempre, natuwa naman ako kasi maiinitidihan ko na sa wakas ang subtitles sa mga Taiwanese series na pinanonood ko . More reasons to pursue this lesson!

Speaking ko characters, nalaman ko na 4 pala ang klase ng pagsusulat sa Japanes - may hiragana, katakana, romanji at kanji. Yung unang pinag-aralan namin eh yung hiragana. Ganito siya:
Medyo nakakalito sya sa simula, pero masaya magsulat ng Japanese... hehehe....

the wedding

the bouquet of flowers that i will never toss...
the chant of the choir that i will never hear...
the aisle that i will never walk down to...
the candles that will never be lit...
the cake that we will never slice...
the butterflies that we will never set free...
the ring that you will never wear in my finger...
the vow that we will never speak of...
the veil that you will not take off...
the kiss that will never seal our love...
the wine that we'll never drink...
and most of all,
the groom...
the man i want to stay with for the rest of my life,
is the man that i will never have..

the making of hana kimi...

Anger means you care...
Caring means you like him...

As I surf channels, and eventually changing channels from CTV to watch "Corner with Love", and Jack TV to watch "MadTV", I cam across a teaser for an upcoming Taiwanese Series. At first, I thought it's a different series, but then I saw Wu Chun's face at the end of the teaser. Whopee! Romantic Princess's gonna be shown soon!

But...

If I'm going to watch this, it means I might not be able to watch "Ying Ye 3 Jia 1" or even "Why Why Love", which, by the way, I haven't watched that much because of "18 Jin Bu Jin". Arrgghhh... it's really hard to chose between cute guys and nice series...

And another but...

From what I have noticed, Wu Chun does not sing in some of the Fahrenheit's songs, especially that one that's included in the Hana Kimi OST. It breaks my heart because he's part of that group, and he's supposed to sing a lot of parts, just like Jiro Wang. I just hope that if the OST for Romantic Princess would come out, Chun would have his solo song. Just for the heck of it.

Me and My Wild Imagination - Part 3

It's hard being a hopeless romantic. Sometimes, I wish I could also find my prince charming, just like the those heroines in the drama seroes that I have watched. I'm not expecting someone as cute a Wu Zun , or someone as handsome as Ming Dao , or someone who has a good singing voice like Alan Luo.

I just want someone who could protect me like Yi Quan did to Rui Xi,although I know I could care for and protect myself, but I just needed someone who would be strong for me when I am weak...











note from my alter-ego: bat ang dami namang clips from Hana Kimi? Napaghahalata...


someone who would encourage me and make me smile like Qin Lang would to Xin Lei,I'm not that brave to face the challenges that would come my way, and it would be great to hear words of encouragement from someone who cares a lot for me, and it would also be great to see the effort of that person to make me smile even though heaven and hell have already cursed me...

















note from my alter-ego: buong episode 2?



and someone who would defend me, just like Ah Jiang whenever Xia Tian's in trouble. I'm someone who always gets into mess, I just want someone who would be there for me when my I ran out of luck and I couldn't fix the mess that I have caused.



note from my alter-ego: walang mahanap na clip ng episodes ng Ying Ye 3 Jia 1 no?


Maybe, these things are already too much to ask. See? That's why I have love stories sometimes. It makes me want to wish for something that I know I couldn't have.

I'd love to make you mine
'Cause it's the only way to hold you
In my wild imagination
Still don't know how
To grab a chance and spend some time
In just a simple conversation


Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
'Cause you're a star
People love you as you are
You're a million miles away from me

Wished that you were here
'Cause it's illusions every time you're close to me
And sing my love songs
And it's the only way
I could tell the whole world I love you
Although you're a million miles away


Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
'Cause you're a star
You're a star
You're a star




Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbows in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
'Cause you're a star
You're a star
You're a star
Million miles away from me...

Seasonal Affective Disorder

I feel lazy these days.

Blame it on the weather that makes me want to sleep the whole day. I'm not supposed to slack off since I have a lot of things to do at work. Well, somehome, Typhoon Egay finally got into me, and so I decided to have an E-day last Wednesday. I don't want to, but a certain sickness known as Seasonal Affective Disorder got me.

No, it's not the usual disease that you can use as an excuse for your sick leave. Basically, it's uncurable. The only way to cure it is to motivate yourself like "money... money.. I need money... I have to go to work", but too bad, it caught me. I still have it. Really. Blame it on the A/C that's on the Siberai mode, the dark sky, the cold weather, the rain... arrgghh!

It's funny, because I used to love it when it rains. Back in high school, I love it when it's signal number 2 since the classes would be suspended. Back in college, I hated it, though I love it especially when they announce that all levels have no classes. Now that I'm working it, I hate it simply because I still have to go to work even though it's raining cats and dogs outside.

Since my station is near the window, just staring outside and watching at the rain pours makes me feel lazy. It makes me have that S.A.D. again. Yes, it's sad because I want to sleep... sleep and sleep... but I have a lot of work to do

Qi Shi Ni Dong Wo - Ying Ye 3 Jia 1 OST

Who am I actually What position do I hold in your heart
If you don't say it out clear You're just letting our love dangle in the mist

Love is annoying Sometimes near, sometimes far, letting people chase after
Chased half a day And yet you won't even say a word of apology

I walk forward Heads down Tears rolling back
Walking continuously Never turning back Hoping that you will find me
It wasn't as I wished My hopes were let down But I still believe
That you do understand me (That you do love me)

I swear a thousand times That once I leave this time, you will never get me back
Although my heart hurts But it's still better than suffering so much humiliation

I wait and wait Memories of your good keep popping into my mind
After so much waiting You still won't even say a word of Babe to comfort me

One front, One back You keep silently behind me Yeh…Yeh…Yeh…
Front front, Back back Hoping that you will hold my hands Yeh…Yeh…Yeh…Wo..Wo..Wo..

I walk forward Heads down Tears rolling back
Walking continuously Never turning back Hoping that you will find me
In my dreams I searched a thousand times for him Hoping that it will be reality
I don't want to leave My heart can't be controlled

I walk forward Heads down Tears rolling back
Walking continuously Never turning back Hoping that you will find me
In my dreams I searched a thousand times for him Hoping it will be reality
I still believed That you do understand me

unexpected

Love is an unexpected event..
You'll never know when it will come,
where it will take place,
and who will make you fall hard...

Random thoughts Part 3

Lunes:

Waaah... masaya ako dahil nagawa ko yung isang bagay na matagal ko nang gustong gawin (pero di pwedeng sabihin dahil nagsign ako ng "waiver". Sana makapunta ako bukas, kaso importante rin yung work ko eh... huhuhu Pero nang dahil sa mga pangyayaring ito, nagkaron muli ako ng lakas ng loob at kapal ng mukha na gawin ang mga bagay na dapat at gusto kong gawin. Gaya ng pag-aaply for higher post (kapal na talaga ng mukha ko).
