Glee = Extreme Happiness
I am crushin’ on a new show right now. I just watched the first 5 episode and I’m hooked. Hihi. 
I initially expected it to be boring, when I read about it online and it being a musical and all that shiz. But when I watched it, ZOMG! It’s addictive! The songs are LSS material, the covers rock, and it is so not tacky in-a-show-girl-kind-of-way! Plus, the HS status quo representation is beri beri funny! 
In the Philippines, here are the show times and channels showing them:
JACK TV

PS. the men are definitely boytoy materials! Cory Monteith (my wallpaper now) who plays the role of Finn Hudson is a doppelganger for Jamie Oliver (The Naked Chef) and of course, Matthew Morrison is certainly one for the le-le-ladies, yo! Hehe. You can get Glee computer shiznit here.
Tulong
Yes, yes. We all feel the same about Ondoy (‘xcept for some losers like jacque bermejo, kimsomethin-somethin korean ugly bin, dontker if its true or not, just stop).
If you feel like helping out, here’s something that has been keeping me busy over the past few days (this is aside from some academic and household errands).
I chose UP Sagip Isko because I consider it as my immediate community, aside from where I live of course. Heck, I even spend more time in the university than at home sometimes. And I don’t even get out of our house when I’m at home. Besides, our place is relatively unaffected by Ondoy compared to other areas which are really devastating to our eyes, hearts and minds.
Anyhows, let us pay our blessings forward and Godspeed.

PS. Thank you to my cousin Tricia who joined me and other UP Bibliotech (UP BLC) members help out this week. Cheers! I <3 you.
Do you remember, pale September?
September breezed its way through me. Fleet, fleet, fleeting.
There’s just too much to say or do. I need time to digress.
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon
in full
And sank in the burrows of my keep
And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as Im singing him to sleep
He goes along just as a water lily
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Unweighted down by passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap
And all my armour failing down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as Im singing him to sleep
All my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as Im singing him to sleep
<3 <3 <3
Triggers
Earlier, one of my plurk mates is asking about oldschool RNB songs and I immediately thought of ‘Just Friends’ by Music Soulchild. It actually reminds me of someone (yeah someone) who’s really into the song. He likes it so much it is set on REPEAT the whole time we were together. No kidding.
When I asked him why he likes the song so much, he said, ‘eh kasi ang cute ng lyrics, you know he’s into the girl pero he says na OK lang din kung friends sila diba?’ Okay, point taken.
So in the very off chance that you know who I am, here’s the video and the lyrics for you. I haven’t told you this, but I totally agree with you. Change the gender to fit us, girls, and its definitely a crush song! I really, really hope you’re very very happy right now. Cheers! <3
Just Friends
Girl I know this might seem strange
But let me know if I’m out of order
For stepping to you this way
See I’ve been watching you for a while
And I just gotta let you know
That I’m really feeling your style
Cause I have to know your name
And leave you with my number
And I hope that you would call me someday
If you want you can give me yours too
And if you don’t I ain’t mad at’cha
We can still be cool cause

How to Keep Talking: The Art of Conversing
One of the perks of having your nails done is that you can read magazines without having to feel guilty about ‘wasting’ time, because after all, if you are reading while getting a mani-pedi done, you are already MULTI-TASKING. Haha.
Anyhows, I just want to share a quote that caught my attention from an article written by Louie Locsin.
Experiencing conversation at its finest is the best teacher. Conversation is cultivated; it must be learned. It isn’t just talking, turning on the ignition and getting the motor in the mouth running. It is not about unburdening yourself which is what you pay a psychiatrist for. Speaking your mind is something that you do to a child or employee you want to correct. Conversation is an act, the most pleasant one within everyone’s reach. – Happy Talk by Louie B. Locsin (Town and Country Magazine, vol and no. unable to list down
So true, yet so few actually know the value of tact. My future self will teach my future kids about this. Haypayb!
PE Angst, for those who bother
Eto ang ilan sa mga dahilan kung baket naiirita ako ngayon sa PE Cheerleading Class ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.
1st Time (Aug 2)
I was supposed to tell this incident earlier, but due some other pressing errands and things to do, now’s the only time I can do it. So in short, this is overdue. This is regarding our very, very frustrating experience in our attempt to diligently complete our attendance for our CHEERLEADING class.
Before anything else, it is no secret that in UP Diliman, a CHEERLEADING class in PE meant that one has to attend a certain number of UAAP games and cheer for our university’s team. Therefore, classes on the designated schedule is only followed for the first few meetings, just to arrange some class essentials such as assigning of which games to watch (we were assigned to watch Women’s Baskteball), distribution of attendance cards, waivers and even PE t-shirts (yes, we have to buy one for CHEERLEADING and yes, it definitely makes for an interesting income generating project).
Anyways, so according to the scheduled that we copied sa CHK (College of Human Kinetics), there will be a game last Saturday at Philsports Arena at 9 in the morning, UP vs. UE. So off we went, just like the way we did with the first 2 games that we attended for Women’s Basketball at the same place. We rode the MRT, got off at Shaw, and then took a cab going to PHILSPORTS. Upon getting there, we were very much surprised that the place is empty. This is the kind of empty na as in CLOSED yung venue, not the empty kind na konti lang yung pumunta. Not even the vendors were there. There were also no signs/notes where the games were transferred. As in sarado lang yung gates ng Philsports. That’s it. Wala din naman kameng narereceive na advisory na cancelled yung game or anything. So in an attempt to probably save the situation that we were presented with, we asked some of the guards if they have any idea where the UAAP – Women’s Basketball games were transferred. He said, we might want to try going to YNARES GYM, where some of the UAAP games are sometimes held. We asked him if it’s walking distance lang. He said yes. So off we walk.
These are the days that students live for
Have I already posted this?
If I did, please forgive me. It’s too important I must post it twice. Hoho.

Reasons, the reasons that we have
I haven’t been able to blog for around a month now. I can attempt to backpost some things. But that would be stupid since I don’t earn anything from this blog anyway. Besides it would be a distortion of history (haha) or so they say. Be that as it may be, I would like to list down the gist of the month that has been for me (since my blog hiatus, op kors):
