nakagat ako ng pusa noong valentine's day. kamusta naman yon?!
the doctor told me to take anti-tetano (tama ba spelling ng tetano? o whatever...) anti-tetano shots if i wanted to make sure i wouldn't have the virus. hindi ako nagpainjection kasi natatakot ako... just yesterday, nagtatawanan kami ni elbert about something. i forgot what. unconsciously, bigla ko siyang kinalmot. grabe. sabi ni ms. di baka daw maging catman ako. sabi ko naman.. why not? magandang career yun. baka sumikat pa ako sa hollywood.
meow..

now i know kung bakit lumulubog ang sunken garden. dahil lahat ng tao doon ay samasamang nagtatalunan habang sumasabay sa pagkanta sa mga banda mula gabi hanggang alas siete ng umaga for one whole week pag up fair..ayun.

this is her story
her name is onis. the other, edeng. i grew up convinced that they are sisters. it took me some time to realize they are never really connected with each other. they had a small store in the very old spanish house in our compound. they are both unmarried, hence, they had no family of their own. all they have, in this evanescent world, is each other.
lola onis was very sickly. and lola edeng would always be there to attend to her every need. lola edeng has her own house but she chose to stay with lola onis so that she would be there everytime she needed her or maybe just to keep her bestfriend company. they ate together, listened to the radio together, laughed together, cried together, prayed together and watched time pass by together. they were together most parts of their lives. they were more than best buddies. they found in each other sisters they never had, the warmth of a family they both deserved. im sure they have a big box of old memories in that old spanish house that only the two of them would know.
tomorrow, the remains of lola onis will be sent to her final resting place. and who says their bestfriendship ends here? they are both fortunate, or shall i say blessed, for they had something people spend their whole lives finding -- a bestfriend.
and i know they will be bestfriends forever.
May God bless you lola onis..

ang dami daming kailangang gawin. buti nga mejo nababawasan na. pero mukang nasesense ko na nadadagdagan na naman. grabe. last week, kumakain ako habang naglalakad kasi i had to go to another class pa. e alam nyo naman kung gano kalayo ang mga buildings sa up. di na ako nakakanood ng mga teleserye kasi gabi na ako nakakauwi from school. tapos hagom parin ako sa extra-curricular activities kaya nabubuwang na ako sa sobrang daming ginagawa. pero ok lang... hanggat may kikiam at footlong, hanggat may cello's doughnuts, hanggat may globe unlimitext, hanggat may marshmallow, chicken, french fries, pizza, spaghetti, ice cream, hanggat may radyo sa fx papuntang philcoa, hanggat pwede tumawa, hanggat may bahay pa kami, hanggat may mga kakilala ako sa mundo katulad ng obzite at pamilya ko, hanggat nanjan Yung tumutulong sakin palagi, kaya ko to. kayang kaya. parang nagkakape lang.

Nararamdaman niyo ba ang nararamdaman ko pag panahon na ng sportsfest sa atheneum?
Grabe. Ewan ko ba. Iba talaga ang feeling pag foundation week at sportsfest sa atheneum. Parang iba siya sa mga normal na araw, bukod sa walang klase at pwede kayong pumunta sa mcdo okaya sa tapsihan pag lunch. Nakakafulfill at nakakdepress yung pakiramdam. I can't explain it. Parang masaya at malungkot na pinaghalo. Tapos parang palaging sepia yung kulay ng paligid. Lalo na pagdating ng hapon kung saan tapos na ang lahat ng activities. Tatambay muna sa stage. Kakain. Magdadaldalan. Picture taking. Tapos maglalakad pauwi hanggang maabutan ng dilim sa may mabahong shortcut. Haay.. nakakamiss ang highschool. Nung pumunta kami dun nung Friday para manuod ng cheering, bumalik na naman ang mga ganitong feeling. Natutuwa ako sa batch nila wilfredo at nova. Para sila yung batch na medyo nagkakaroon na ng matinding bonding kung ikukumpara sa mga ibang bathes na natitira sa atheneum ngayon. Kitang kita sa performance nila ang spirit ng pagiging isang batch. Sana ipagpatuloy nila iyon. Congratulations nga pala sa mga juniors. At sa lahat narin.
Nanalo ako sa dating game. Akalain niyo iyon?!
It wasn’t like any ordinary dating game. It was a speech dating game. Pinilit ako ng mga orgmates ko na sumali. They were the organizers of the event. It was for one of their speech classes. Wala na daw silang makuha so ako nalang. In other words, napilitan lang silang isama ako. I was really nervous because I wasn't prepared. Akalain niyong ako pa ang nanalo?! Hehe. There were three stages of the event. First one is the debate, next is an oral interpretation of a poem then an impromptu speech. Hehe. The searcher is a junior economics major from ateneo. Mabait siya.. And mind you, she has a british accent. Grabe. Lumaki kasi sya sa England. So dugo-dugo nanaman ang ilong ko sa kaka-english. But it was really fun. It's fun meeting new people. Mas naliwanagan ako na ka-level ko ang mga mestizo at mestiza. Alam niyo naman ako.. alta.. pangmayaman... Mag migrate na kaya ako sa london? Hehe..

May nagtanong sa akin dati. Ano daw ang pipiliin niya, "yung taong mahal na mahal niya higit pa sa buhay niya" o "yung taong mahal na mahal siya"? Ang corny talaga ng mga tanong na ganito. diba?! Pero ano pa nga ba.. kailangan kong sagutin ng kacornihan din! Sabi ko naman, mahalin mo yung taong nagpapamahal sayo sa sarili mo. Love the person who let's you love yourself before loving him/her. Yun bang, siya ang nagbibigay ng reasons kung bakit mo dapat mahalin yung sarili mo. Siya yung nagbibigay ng reasons para maniwala ka na your special... sya.. Tama na nga. Nasusuka na ako sa mga sinasabi ko. Cge. Advanced valentine's day greetings sa inyo..

tag me.......
i'd love to hear from you..

I was a swimmer, a tennis and volleyball player. I was a dancer, pep squad member and stage performer. I was a team leader and CAT Executive officer. 'Hyperactive' would be an understatement if you were to describe my lifestyle.. And who would ever think that somebody like me has a congenital heart defect?

im marvin. im from cavite. im a speech major from upd. i love to eat, to sleep, to talk, to laugh. i love having fun. id love to meet shrek one day. marami kasing nagsasabing magkamuka kami. nakadilat na daw mga mata ko nung pinanganak ako.. mahilig ako kumain ng spaghetti, pizza, marshmallow, chicken at french fries.

It never occurred to me that for the past 17 years of my existence, I was at risk of having a heart failure, and my active lifestyle made the risk grow even more. That is why I thank God and His instruments here on earth - my family, obzite, my friends and the people who touched my life - for keeping my heart beating all this time..
