I still can't get over the gift my parents gave to my sister and me..

It's like a dream come true!! I guess losing my phone and shopping money wasn't so bad.. At least I have a new digicam to play with. :) (yeah, I lost my camera-phone and shopping money at greenhills last tuesday.. right before Christmas. *sigh*)

*cam-whore mode*

kai and I


sibling love


Makes you want to be a kid again..

Cathy thank you!!

I went shopping at Greenhills with my mom. I woke up uber early just to beat the car and people-traffic. I planned to buy the stuff for Dino's family there, and the rest at Shangri-la. So, there I was, finishing half of my Christmas list, saving the most important people for last (mom, dad, ate, bro, boyfriend and kris kringles).

I called mom to ask where we should meet. I walked to our meeting place and waited. I looked for my money and phone.

I couldn't find my Cellphone and 5K

It was stolen. My Christmas money, my cellphone, my savings.. all gone. I wanted to cry right then and there. But I didn't. I retraced my steps and asked around, even though I was sure the chances were slim. When I finally realized that there was no more hope, I asked some nice looking ladies if they could text my mom for me.

Thank goodness mom and I met up. She didn't scold me or anything. She hugged me and asked me what happened. She even gave me a little more money so I could finish my shopping. I don't have enough money for her and dad. I need to think of a gift for them. (Ideas anyone??)

I didn't really cry. I didn't really whine about it. I accepted the fact that shit happens and we can't do anything about it anymore but learn from our own little experiences.

So no more camera phone.. no more savings.. less christmas gifts.. but I learned that mom will be there for me always..

And I still got to get Dino a gift he'd like. So, I'm happy.


My life is rated R.
What is your life rated?

I've done the christmas layout.. I've done the wishlist.. I've seen the parols and christmas lights.. I'm doing the family Kris Kringle.. I've done the Christmas parties but I still don't feel the Christmas spirit..

I need to go shopping tomorrow. :\

Finally, I'm on my official break. After a long hectic week of ditching class to support the paskuhan and other projects, I can finally say I've had 9 hours of sleep. It really felt relaxing, compared to the usual 2-3 hours this past week.

PARTY, PASKUHAN AT PANALO!

MONDAY
My blockmates and I stayed up the night before doing a 5-way conversation (buche, pau, kat, diane and moi) via phone and chatted on YM. Ang gulo! Haha! Anyway, we all agreed that we'd pitch in for the Paskuhan so we won't have to face our assignments at the same time. *grin* Then Monday comes, and after talking with my fellow SC-mates, we had a go signal for our class. But then, we find out that they really put a limit on the number of students parading, so we had to back out again. We were planning to practice the shields by then but the paint wasn't easy to paint with.

so here's robby and nolan when we were putting up the Christmas tree

TUESDAY
We weren't so into panic mode yet. I was just worried that my first ever project will end in a flop. I organized an underground party (meaning no administration personnel should find out about it) but since it was given to me just 2 weeks before the target date, I had a feeling it wouldn't be such a great turnout. :|

That night, we stayed over at Robby's house to paint all 48 costumes of the Dance Troupe, Pakakak people, Bamboo people, and Flag people for the big event. I'm so glad the costumes turned out great!

WEDNESDAY
Okay, so by then we were really in panic mode and I got so tense when the night drew nearer. The sheilds were 90% done and we needed to start practicing ASAP.

progress and practice
 
Compared to Nolan


I check my watch and it's already 7:oopm! I start getting ready and pray with all my might that this event will turn out better than we already expect. By this time, we were expecting the worst, and hoping for the better..

we got so worried, we reduced the price to P60

The bands we great! We also had artbeat to start the show. Mga pasaway ang SC kse 6 lang ang limit ng bands.. pero we went ahead and had 8! The bands I really recommend are join the club, circuz crone, love story, d.t.s. and KAMIKAZEE. Jay from Kamikazee is drop-dead HILARIOUS. See how their performance went.

      

Now you HAVE to see them LIVE! They're performing again on Monday at Mayric's along with Parokya and Moonstar88 I think..

Anyway, our party ended around 2 so we left and I had our poster signed by Kamikazee. They're pretty cool. :)

We didn't get that much sleep because Thursday would be the Paskuhan day.

Bati na kami! We had a little tampuhan because we were both tired, busy and I know she missed me so much that's why...

But wait.. there's more!

We were about to go home when we decided to check out the Guest Band staying in one of our classrooms. Fortunately, we were able to talk the people guarding the room to let us in and meet.. RIVERMAYA.

   
grabe. isa lang ngiti ko at ang panget pa! haha!

So I guess my week ended pretty well. I'm going to tagaytay tomorrow for three days with my Dino's friends. :) It's kat's birthday tomorrow tho. :( oh well. Oh, and I have to say thank you to paula for some pictures.

Bush arrested in Canada for war crimes

Bush received a bruise on his face during the arrest, which some observers have noted resembles a Canadian maple leaf.

I'm not sure it's true true since it's not on TV. Maybe they want to keep it a hush-hush.. and it is the real CNN site.. hmmm..

What do you think? I think it rocks.


Some quotes from the article:

Under Canadian law, even a non-citizen can be charged for crimes committed outside of Canada once that individual enters the country.
--I think that's cool. They got to arrest the US President! How dumb can he get!!

Using the same expletive from a heated exchange earlier this year, Vice President Dick Cheney was overheard on the Senate floor with an even stronger response. "These charges are f****** outrageous."
--HAHAHA!

Another protester justified Bush's arrest with a hypothetical analogy. "Let's say I heard that my ex-convict neighbor is stockpiling weapons in his apartment. I call the police but they don't act swiftly enough. So, in order to protect my family from this threat, I take matters into my own hand and break into my neighbor's home while torturing and killing members of his family. Of course, I do not find any weapons."
--That is too true.
