[listening to] Dare You To Move - Switchfoot

It's funny how you end up becoming friends with people you least expect. Like AD, for instance. My impression of him used to be this perky, carefree, childish guy who would laugh at the slightest provocation. I only got 2 out of 4 right.:P

He, Carl and I gorged on pizza and ice cream at Shakey's. Carl was surprised I could keep up with his pizza-eating pace.:D I love pizza, is why. I've never been one of those girls to scrimp on food...which explains why I've gained weight. FAT, FAT, FAT. Oh well. I shall join my roommates in their almost-nightly crunches session. Anyway, we took advantage of the ice cream bar. The sundae(?) we made was HUGE. It nearly toppled over, that's why we had to eat fast. And people kept staring at us, especially this little kid who kept tugging at his yaya's sleeve.:P


AD is so vain. I look evil.;P


AD and Carl, who did not look at the camera even after I told him to...

Afterwards we headed to the Sunken Garden, where we thought of lines to use on all the smooching couples there.xP Then, by the light of the full moon, each of us reminisced and shared some hang-ups.

I remembered ______. And oddly, not in a bad way. It's been more than 2 years, and I really have no regrets now.:)

Here are the long-overdue pics of Brat, my adopted kitten. Her "pedigree" is pusakal. Hehehe. So what?!:P



It isn't obvious in the pictures, but she's blue-eyed.

I figure I might as well take advantage of my phone's kick-ass features, so you'll be seeing a lot more pics here.:D

a proper update

[listening to] random PC sounds, as am in net cafe.

Well, I did promise to update properly. I got to let off steam about my sister (see previous entry), so I suppose I'm thinking pretty clearly now.

The dude called today. It was confusing. I really don't understand guys. Yeah, maybe we should just be friends. Because,

1) I have no plans of converting into Protestantism or whatever to suit him;
2) The only thing we have in common, apart from being high school batchmates, is that we both watch Furuba;
3) I'm not his type, his type being perky and Christ-centered.

But despite all that, I feel drawn to him. Why? And whenever I tell myself that no, I feel no burning passion for him, that this is just some lukewarm emotion, there'd be some sort of physical contact which makes me wish that I could just freeze the moment and crystallize the sparks that flew.

Then again, I might just be deluding myself.

I didn't get to go to my first ever class for this semester, EL50. I didn't stress too much about it, thinking the prof didn't show up. Wrong. He(?) slapped me with a blank map quiz of Europe the next meeting. My gaydar went off the hook with this one, in a bad way. I mean, there are likable fags. Then there are fags that are best friend material. Then there's the ever-criticizing type who comes off as superficial. Guess which one he is. I know I didn't make a great first impression, but so did he.

My Physics prof is cool. He's scary, in a good kind of way. He likes giving pop quizzes and such. I experienced one of these firsthand, and it seemed pretty easy...but no, there was a trick question. He had this impish grin on his face, and he seemed pleased with himself. Hmm. But sources have informed me that he's one of the best. Well, at least he's better than my past profs.>_<

Chem Lec was boring. And I have good reason to be wary of my prof. Apparently only 4 students passed in his class last semester. And he looks like such a nice old man, too.

Chem Lab, I'm not too sure what to think. Seems OK, but a LOT of work (as with everything else in life).

Ch E 31: my first class in my beloved college. Algebraic. So far, so good.:) The teacher is a funny old man...reminds me of a leprechaun.

Eng 1 prof was a no-show. Hrrm.

On to the extra-curriculars: I am now a KEMer! Go me. I wasn't able to go to a certain required activity because of a little sembreak er, thing which my father totally supported, plus the fact that he didn't know I was applying for an org. Hah. Did something (probably) stupid that night, but which I will never regret. :) Oh, and ENGINEERING WEEK is on the horizon. Yeah! I'm just a new member, but already I can feel the org spirit. Wow. I hope to be active, even just behind the scenes (since I can't dance to save my life). Whatever.

As for my other org, I'm quite saddened that I have learned so much these past weeks (with the sorority) that I want to apply here, but for some reason can't. Is it laziness? Lack of time? Am I just making excuses? I don't know. But I really do want to instill a stronger work ethic in my orgmates. It has to start with me, I know, but I can't effect that change immediately, in one big blow. I'm taking it slowly, and waiting for my happi coat to arrive.

[listening to] the snores of the people around me.

I am now officially the proud adopter of a kitten.

Yes, that was right. I never thought I would be one of those compassionate, oh-look-at-the-poor-kitten-i'll-take-it-home types.

Will update more on typical first week soon.

EDIT: Was supposed to upload a pic of me with Brat (the kitty!), but was too pissed off at my sister.

[rant]She lent our Furuba DVDs to some unknown upperclassman. WTF?!!! I can't believe it. This is the Nth time. First it was my How to Draw Manga book (which she GAVE to some servicemate, apparently), then our F4 CD (returned full of scratches), and now this. She didn't ask permission, which caused my dad to blow his top.

I was really really mad, I had to restrain myself from physically hurting her. I wanted to punch her square in the face. Heck, a catfight would've been OK, too.

I couldn't believe I wanted to be that BARBARIC. I can't believe my sister is such a LOSER. I'm not being self-righteous. I just want to knock some sense into that thick self-centered skull of hers. It's not the possible destruction of stuff. It's the lying and not answering/respecting my dad, who works his @$$ off so we could live decently, and who has had to go to their guidance center quite a few times because of her.

I hate this. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGH.[/rant]

[listening to]

YES YES YES! The winds of Chemistry fandom once again blow my way.:D Jenn is my dearest fangirl, who has provided me with the mp3s of their new single.:DDD

Back to the real world: tomorrow is enrollment, and I dread dread dread the lines. Plus a meeting. I think the only thing I'll be able to do tomorrow is get my registration materials, since a source informed me that the ES slots will be opened on Friday. We'll draw lots, apparently. Aaaargh. But I hope I can further Paula's enrollment. She needs 4 more subjects.O_o Well, I did volunteer to help her out since she won't be able to make it. (Not that I resent you or anything, Paula dear. Just make sure I get a nice pasalubong from HK...maybe an intelligent, well-read, funny, cute, hygienic, SARS-free Chinese guy. Hehehe.) Whoo. Janini will help, anyway.:D

Am looking forward to seeing all my friends again.:) Plus a bonus: I have enough money for Furuba Vol. 4! Nyahaha. Am considering getting an Eerie Queerie volume though. Mmmm.
