Fill in the ______!



     "I miss ____. UGH. Please box me, whack me or just strangle me! I hate this feeling but I can never seem to shake it off. I need to get out of this state..."

Line stolen from Duhkneez!


a)

b) Fatso

c) UP

d) None of the above.



Altogether now:

I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now

Don't you know I still believe that you will be here

Just give me a sign

Hit me baby one more time




       Tsk. Can somebody hand me some help here?



Post-script:

I saw my soulmate this afternoon. LOL. Tell you more tomorrow. I'm quite tired.

Drakulita's palm reading excerpts




You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.



At times you have the ability to focus your mind so strongly that the rest of the world is shut out.



You are likely to make decisions based on intuition or feelings rather than intellect. You do have the capability to detach yourself emotionally and look at situations objectively, but you may not have developed this trait as well as you should.



Your personality is dynamic and attractive to most people.



There are times when your emotions get out of control. You may need to learn more consideration for others.



Sometimes you may have trouble discerning between thought and feeling. There are times in your life when your emotions can rule your behavior. When you are feeling sad, this can distort your view of life.



No matter what circumstances come your way, you have a generally positive attitude which may help you overcome life's obstacles.



There is a strong intuitive side to your nature, which may border on psychic or mystical ability.

Mr. Sandman why don't you bring me to sleep?




In the dark I can hear you whisper

Shadows still, move across the distance



What did you say, it's okay

Did you miss me?

Did you miss me?



Make it mine, takin' time, forgotten

Speak for me, silent plea, surrender



What did you say, it's okay

Did you miss me?

Did you miss me?



You know at times I wondered

If you ever thought of me

And I wondered if you wanted to be free

Like me, and I needed to feel you and

I wondered did you miss me baby, oh yeah



Turn to gray, bluer shade, when the sun comes

Peaceful time, cease your mind, dreamsome



What did you say, it's okay, oh baby

Did you miss me?

Did you miss me?

Did you miss me?

Did you miss me?

Playing favorites




       "My God, if I had a piece of life... I wouldn't let a single day pass without telling the people I love that I love them. I would convince each woman and each man that they are my favorites, and I would live in love with love. I would show men how very wrong they are to think that they cease to be in love when they grow old, not knowing that they grow old when they cease to be in love! To a child I shall give wings, but I shall let him learn to fly on his own. I would teach the old that death does not come with old age, but with forgetting. So much have I learned from you, oh men..."

Newsflash!!!




     In the news, it is rumored that both of Blister's vocalists already left for the United States to pursue their careers, and in the meantime, a certain Drakulita is said to take their place.



     Blister, an amateur band started way back when its members were still high school seniors, was originally composed of Lozzie (lead), Chris (rhythm), Sheila (bass), Santa (drums), Joan (vocalist), and Fatso (vocalist). Back then, they were able to compete in the School of the Holy Spirit's Band Aid.



     As sources recently said, both of the bands vocalists, Fatso and Joan, already left for the US. Fatso was said to have left the country early this April of 2003 and Joan followed sometime around May. The appointment of Drakulita is still to be confirmed but according to recent reports, she is often seen hanging-out with the remaining Blister bandmembers.



     Seen together with Drakulita in this picture are the band guitarists Var, Lozzie and Chris.







     Fine, this sounds like a lame news report. It's not even news but what the heck, I couldn't find any more remarkable way to greet our beloved *songer* (FATSO!!!) a happy happy happy birthday! Click HERE, you birthday girl you. LOL.



HBD FATSO!

The 3 faces of Drakulita






Watcha starin' at?! How does your sign literally look like this century? Guess what? I'm the Water Bearer. (Wait, isn't that already way too obvious?)




       Oh, please...do I have to explain all these? Na-uhh... it's for me to know and for you to figure out.







       Habang ako'y naghihintay upang panoorin ang (walang kakwenta-kwentang) TV Patrol, ito ang usapang aking naabutan:



babae: Pinipilit kong makalimutan ka pero hindi ko magawa. Ikaw ang lagi kong iniisip.



(Ang babae at lalake ay nagyapakan na tila ba katapusan na ng mundo.)



lalake: Ang payat mo. Para kang madudurog pag yakap kita.



babae: Ok lang na madurog ako basta ikaw yung yumayakap.







       Naks! (translation: Hahaha!!!)



       Ayon nga pala sa aking source, Lei ang pangalan nung lalake. Err, wag mo na tanungin kung sino yung babae. Di ko alam ang tamang pagbaybay ng kanyang pangalan eh. Pasensya na, hindi ako mahilig manood ng Meteor Garden.

What day are you? Quiz by Fatsky




       You enjoy your anonymity. You're an introverted person who has a very cool taste in life. You're the type of person who enjoys being alone and is very creative. You're most likely to spend your time in front of the TV, The PC , a nice book or a colorful canvass. You are probably shy and anorexic.

Keyboard blues




       I woke up this morning annoyed by the fact that the keyboard wasn't working when it was perfectly fine last night. Good thing Dad was at the mall (Yeah, I woke up late as usual.) and he told me he'd buy one. (He better!)



       Now I have new set of computer tools. He also bought me a new mouse as well as a mousepad. Heheh, on second thought I'd rather have cash.

Nothing really matters to me




       "Do not think that she will be the last. You will keep paying the price for loving what is not yours. You will keep saying that it is worth it..."

- taken from Cielo by Joy Cruz








       Janix, thanks for the LJ code. You can upload your GIF files here. I'll definitely miss you again starting next week! Have fun on your second year as a Lasallian. Hahaha!







       Hay, I've finally gotten an LJ account. No, I wouldn't stop blogging here. Basically, what you'll see here is what you'll probably see there. The main reason why I got one is for me to be able to post comments on other people's LJs more decently (since I wouldn't remain just another anonymous user). However, I've also decided to put my more personal posts there. In that way, my fun-loving yet nosy relatives who are probably lurking here now (Haloooo Tita!) wouldn't question me about my so-called love interests and my non-existent love life. (i.e. Crush mo si Randy David?! Sino si 'Kuya'?)



       Gawd, I didn't expect them to find out about what had happened to me during the past year when all I expected them to do was check out their kiddie picture (circa 1970) when I posted it last Mother's Day.







       Var, thanks for the prepaid card. Later at 1, alrighty? Blah. I'd probably fall asleep.

Paranoid schizophrenia




       ...is a type of schizophrenia characterized by delusions of reference, grandeur, and persecution. The delusions usually form a complex, elaborate system based on a complete misinterpretation of actual events. It is not unusual for the individual with paranoid schizophrenia to develop all three delusions in the following order.



  1. They sense they are special and have been singled out for attention (delusions of reference). They misinterpret chance events as being directly relevant to their own lives.




  2. They believe that this special attention is the result of their admirable and special characteristics (delusions of grandeur). They think of themselves as exalted beings.




  3. They think that others are so jealous and threatened by these characteristics that they spy and plot against them (delusions of persecution). They often feel that they are the target of a conspiracy.




       How can I not be paranoid when I received two instant messages, with the same thought and same sentence construction almost at the same time from two different people whose first names and YM nicks start with 'R' and who insist they do not know each other. Here are their exact messages.



raptor7676 (10:55:59 PM): need to drink h2O... thirsty...

rdoval (10:58:31 PM): teka lang ah... get some water...



       As of the moment, the two still hasn't admitted that they're plotting against yours truly.

Men are like government bonds,

they take soooooooo long to mature.

Men are like snowstorms,

you never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.



Men are like lava lamps,

fun to look at but not very bright.



Men are like parking spots,

all the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

So long sweet summer

I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays

So long sweet slumber

I fell into you now you're gracefully falling away



Hey thanks

Thanks for that summer

It's cold where you're going

I hope that your heart's always warm

I gave you the best

I gave you the best that I had

You passed on the letters

And passed on the best that I had



So long sweet summer

I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays

So long sweet slumber

I fell into you now you're gracefully falling away



I hate the winter in Lexington

I hate the winter in Lexington...

The gayness of you




Stephen Gately; ex-member of Boyzone; my crush since 5th grade up until he admitted he's gay...and that was during the middle of hi-sch! Am I the only one here prone to having crushes on guys who are labelled as PSGs?



     Don't get me wrong, I actually adore most gay people I know because:



  1. they're interesting

  2. they're very frank

  3. they don't have the slightest intention of hurting me

  4. they're very creative

  5. they can make me laugh




but having a liking for them and falling in love with them are way two very diferent things. Geeez, I just feel...weird. It's happening to me all over again. All over again. Am I cursed or what!?



*As for those who still don't know what PSG stands for, you better point your mouse over that word NOW!

Crystal and see-through and not enough to you


(This time, last year...)



You Don't See Me

Josie & the Pussycats



This is the place where I sit

This is the part where

I love you too much

Is this as hard as it gets?

'Cause I'm getting tired

Of pretending I'm tough

I'm here if you want me

I'm yours, you can hold me

I'm empty and taken and

Tumbling and breakin'

'Cause you don't see me

And you don't need me

And you don't love me

The way I wish you would

The way I know you could



I dream of worlds

Where you'd understand

And I dream a

Million sleepless nights

I dream of fire when

You're touching my hand

But it twists into smoke

When I turn on the light

I'm speechless and faded

It's too complicated

Is this how the book ends,

Nothing but good friends?



'Cause you don't see me

And you don't need me

And you don't love me

The way I wish you would



This is the place in my heart

This is the place where

I'm falling apart

Isn't this just where we met?

And is this the last chance

That I'll ever get?

I wish I was lonely

Instead of just only

Crystal and see-through

And not enough to you



'Cause you don't see me

And you don't need me

And you don't love me

The way I wish you would



'Cause you don't see me

And you don't need me

And you don't love me

The way I wish you would

The way I know you could

     Yay! Patty & Johan won the MTV VJ hunt this year!



     I was rooting for Johan coz he seems to be this free-spirited guy. Ooh, didn't know he came from UP! Anyway, there's just one thing I'm curious about. During one of his shoots, I actually saw him wearing a yellow and maroon varsity volleyball uniform from my high school which is weird because I came from an all-girls high school. LOL. Or maybe I just mistook that info there...



     As for Patty, I saw a lot of her during the UAAP season last year. Hmm, she seems to be good enough, though not that extraordinary and even though her voice isn't the sweetest thing to hear, I'd rather listen to it than get to see Antoinette Taus doing her stuff on MTV. Ugh.

Stalk-aholics anonymous



      Remember Raptor who wrote this article? Was chatting with him over YM the other night and guess what we talked about? Yeah, our stalking experiences which seemed to have happened centuries ago.



raptor7676: what? freshman ka pa lang?

drakulita: yup!

drakulita: hehehe

raptor7676: u got me there

raptor7676: kabatabata mo pa, stalker ka na

raptor7676: what's ur course?

drakulita: comparative lit

raptor7676: WHAT? hey, that's my dream course... if only i didnt need to make a living



      Thanks for reminding me. Ugh. Maybe I should have shifted to ComSci. Too late now and after all, I really want to be a PI100 prof. Haha. Maybe in 30 years, after getting my college degree, an MA and a PhD, and after reading tons of Rizaliana books nobody seems to care for anymore.



      Now, what was that all about? Well, I just wanted to show you that ex-stalkers like us also talk about other stuff in life as well. We're really a pretty interesting, albeit sort of creepy, bunch.





Movie story (1)



      Watched The Hours last Wednesday with Che at SMF. I suggest everyone who has a heart (and who knows how to use it) to watch the movie. As one review said, "The Hours is such a sweeping film with a truthful, reflective and honest outlook on women and life in general. It is a poignant film that is definitely, one from the heart." All three of the major characters played interesting roles. Gawd, I simply adore the opening sequence.



"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself."



"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself."



"I would buy the flowers myself!"



      Interesting!



      What's far more interesting to me is Virginia Woolf's flowery dress. (Can I be any more trivial than this?) Ehhh, I really like the dress - it would make a good skirt and it really looks partly happy because of the flowers and partly sad because of the dullness of its colors. Yeah, I love those happy/sad things. It's soooo me. It's not that I'm undecided. It's just that I'm quite happy and quite sad for most of the times. Or maybe I'm just having a mild schizo attack. Whatever. Just go, watch the movie. I wouldn't mind watching it again and again and again...



"You can't find peace by avoiding life."

- Virginia Woolf





Kiss and tell



"Is this all because I suggested getting Maui'd?"

- Aidan Shaw



      SATC fans ought to buy this book! It's soooo for us! Hehehe. Tons of pictures, interviews, production notes and pictures, quotes, more pictures and tons more stuff. I feel every time I open it, there's always something new I have yet to see. There's also a glossary section and the terms are really funny. Aww...this is one book that's probably never gonna leave this house! (Unless I'm off to the US. Hehe, who knows if I might bump into Sarah Jessica Parker or John Corbett?! LOL.)



"Maybe there are no right moments, right guys, right answers. Maybe you just have to say what's in your heart."

- Carrie Bradshaw





Movie story (2)



      Watched Matrix Reloaded yesterday with Che and Sushee. My cousin and I met up with Shee in UP then Kuya Bert dropped us off at the MRT station at Quezon Ave. We planned ages ago to watch the movie at The Podium but when Mom inquired early that morning for the screening times, they said its first screening there would still be at 4 pm. That's how we ended up at Megamall instead.



"Beneath our poised appearance is that we're totally out of control."



      Erm, we actually ended up in Shangri-La first because the stupid girl who lined-up for and bought the MRT tickets thought that the Ortigas station was the one in front of Galleria and assumed that the one nearest Megamall was the Shaw Blvd. station. What a stupid mistake. There's no such thing as an MRT station in front of Galle!!! It was just alright. We had fun window-shopping at the Shang anyway.



Our itinerary at Megamall went something like this:

1. cinema ticket booth

2. bookhunting at Powerbooks

3. lunch at Cibo

4. Foto-Me booth pics (my 11th!)

5. Watson's (Basta! LOL.)

6. watch Matrix Reloaded!





Nostalgic



      This girl reconnected with me after she saw my name posted at Peyups. She kept on laughing about my most recent Peyups article and insisting that James = Jaime which is definitely not true. C'mon, Jaime days are long over. The guy already got married, haven't I told you that?! Oh boy, let us leave him alone and let him rest in peace now with his beloved. Teehee...I just like the name James so much that's why I used it.



      Hay, high school days. Of course, in a way, I miss it! I miss the people, especially the close ones (like you!) which I haven't seen for a looong time, even more. As a proof of my love (naks!), I'll just plug your site.





Psyched up!



I chose Box # 1



I'm introspective, sensitive and reflective.




      "You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. However it is no problem for you to be alone for extended periods of time, without becoming bored."



      So true.

Sun in Aquarius



      Thanks Mme. Johanna for the horoscope readings yesterday. They're...umm, hilariously fabulous! No, I think it's the other way around...fabulously hilarious! Thanks!

 
satc overload



      My neck, my legs, my ankles and, most of all, my feet hurt. All because of that Monday fitness thingy with Var and Kayelle and yesterday's window shopping with Mom and Che.



      Che's medical exam at DLSU didn't take us long so we headed to the mall afterwards. It was mostly window shopping and movie watching but erm, I was able to buy this beloved pink book I've long been wanting from Amazon. Thank God for Fully Booked for housing half of my wishlist. Too bad I don't have the money to buy all of them. Hehe...







      I e-mailed this blog's URL to my aunt last Sunday to show her that old pic. Bad idea. After asking what course I'm taking, she's now asking who "Kuya" is. Um, I don't know either. Next question please? Wait, maybe that's my sign to move to Live Journal but I...

  • still haven't received the code

  • hate the fact that it's quite complicated there

  • most of my friends aren't LJ users

  • love making layouts for this blog

  • love the tagboard

  • love this blog!



          Drat. Even if I had an LJ account, I'll probably keep this blog anyway. I'll probably just use LJ for posting comments on some of my friends' journals. That used to be the sole reason why I wanted one anyway. Now, there's atleast two.



          Hmm...maybe I can get my aunt to just give me a paid LJ account.







    You look really good, my baby, I'm not gonna lie but take one minute and shed your skin. It'll be the best thing in your life. Your heart's stone-cold and you can't feel nothing. I wish what I got was enough to be lovin'. Your heart's stone-cold, won't let nobody in there, not much's changed, yeah, this song's too familiar...







          Oh well. Tonight's the night Aidan's gonna be back!

    blue monday



          It sure is a blue monday but the most ironic thing of it all is the fact that I'm not close to being blue... I'm more like schizophrenic. As for the title, you'll just have to figure that one out. Hmm, guess what I did first thing in the morning?



    (Drakulita is giving you 5 seconds to have a quick guess. Hurry!)




          After getting out of bed, I teased Ken, my three year old kid bro, that it was his birthday today. Mac joined in by singing the birthday song for him. The two evil siblings that we were, we started being all too cheerful when Ken started throwing tantrums telling us with a big "NOOOOO!!!" that it wasn't his birthday. (His real birthday is on September 3.)



          Gawd, shouldn't kids be happy when you tell them it's their "birthday" even if it's not? Haaaaaaaaay, why does that kid have to be too smart? Acccck!!! Well, atleast I get free sweet, wet smacks and big hugs from him whenever he's "in the mood" and not in tantrum mode.







          Was able to watch this movie in HBO where "a bigoted, fannatical nun comes face to face with the lives she ruined through her teachings when a quartet of her traumatised former students crash her Christmas Eve church lecture." If only my Christian Living teachers way back in high school showed that film to me, their subject would have been far more interesting...







          After lunch, Var called to inform me that she and Kayelle will be taking Hi-Lo and Yoga classes instead of Streetdancing for today. I asked mom if she'd let me go with Var and after a little bit of argumentation, she finally agreed. I also asked Che, my cousin from Bacolod who's currently staying in our house because she's going to study in DLSU in a matter of weeks, if she wanted to come since it sounds like a fun time to introduce her to some of my friends but she said she didn't want to take Yoga. To cut the the story short (coz I want to catch the start of that SATC marathon even if it's just all replay of the fourth season!!!), I spent my early evening with my two fun friends walking in the streets of ADMU while pretending to be "Sinta", dancing (even if people called it aerobics) and exchanging energy with the earth at the Moro Lorenzo Sport Center, and ending up at KFC with no KFC Hotshots. *sniff*



          I'd really love to expound on the dancing part (which I have no skill in at all!) but err... I'd rather not. Hope your day was as fun as mine. Lalala... I gotta sleep, after a blue day I'll be having a green one. I'll be accompanying Che at DLSU first thing in the morning. Goodnight!

    thoughts on stalking



         I'm only one in a million of stalkers in my university. That's what I learned after writing this article. As for the others, here's what they have to say:





    Hmmm.... this must be a tradition.

    -gpov



    never admit you're a stalker....

    and that's what i like!

    -icko_ocampo



    That's actually the part where I failed. Tsk.



    kawawa naman yung stalkee pag obsessed maniac yung stalker niya, parang serial killer ang labas.

    -murphey



    Obsession is the mother of all murders. Oh, nothing. I just invented that. Harhar...



    basta ako, di stalker.. ;)

    -betrayerofhope



    Naks, that's rule #9: never tell



    go go go and stalk! stalkers unite!

    -caravaggio



    ...frustrated stalker? Naku! Baka yan yung delikado na type. Yung tipong tahimik lang ngayon tapos after a few pathetic years of secrecy and solitude, nagiging mass murderer. Hala...

    -drakulita



    ...pero i guess a smart UP person'd make a fantastic serial killer.

    -candlebox



    natakot din ako dati sa mga stalkers...pero after several years na hindi ko na siya nakikita...nakakaloka pa rin talaga pag naaalala mo.

    -blackrose



    Why are there millions of you? I wonder.

    -miss tapia



    gagawa kasi ko ng concept paper sa eng10 namin tungkol sa stalking. eh kelangan syempre may credible sources ka. meron bang mga books about this topic? baka naman pwede mo kong tulungan dito sa paper ko?

    -loch_ness



    Oh no, somebody believed that I'm a pro...



    pasado nako jan with flying colors eh. pwede na siguro ako mag-enrol sa buddy-buddy 101. sinong prof?

    -weetchkeeng



    I, sad to say, didn't pass. I failed the subject eh.



    uy career ko dati yan. naging fruitful naman. pero graduate na ako.

    -girl_goddess



    i have a feeling that this article was inspired by john doe.

    -johanna



    I hope it was but I'm telling you John Doe is no expert on such thing. Peace tayo, MaykG, err, John Doe!



    You are very bored, perhaps clinically insane. I advise you to get a job, beat the living shit out of somebody or play around with flings and 'friends with benefits', alike. These solutions will remove your obvious desire to scare some hapless person out of his wits. Do not see a doctor. He/She will refer you to the nearest police station.

    -foolmars



    Am very bored indeed.



    didn't know that you were an expert on such a topic...

    -dizzy



    I myself got surprised...whew! Didn't know that I, who had a Catholic-school-girl-upbringing and who is supposed to be a "productive Christian Filipina", would end up being - me.



    ayan, dapat talaga may guidelines ang mga stalker para di tayo nasasabihan ng weirdo o freak. matino naman tayo.

    -yuri



    Matino tayo? Err...I must admit we're really some kind of freaks in a way.



    we should form a society and organize ourselves. our skills as stalkers are untapped. if we unite, great power will emanate from our affiliation.

    -hyper, "ang sugo ng mga stalker"



    i think there's nothing wrong with stalking as long as its in moderation and that you dont freak out the "stalkee"

    -watercolors



    Is there any case at all when you don't freak out the stalkee?!



    admittedly, i have been on both sides of that scenario, and as much as i revel in being the stalker, i must admit that being in the position of the stalkee can be pretty damn perplexing.

    -lette



    Hear, hear...



    haha! i'm stalking a white guy nowadays. graduate na ako sa mga iskolar ng bayan. haha!

    -shazzam



    As for me, I'm just a newbie. Oops! I already retired in that stalking business nga pala. How can I forget?!

          Was looking for a decent mom pic and look what I found?! Teehee... happy mother's day to all the mommies especially to my beloved "mothers" by blood: my mom (Inay!), my beloved grandma (Lola Taba!), my aunt (Tita Chary) and my great grandma (Lola Nena).



          Tsk, tsk. I sent text messages to my friends' mothers but one of my text messages found its way to Tito Ray's instead of Tita Jane's mobile phone. Drat. I ended up being mocked by their annoying daughter instead. Oh, mother... I wonder if I'll become one. Ha.

    Come home!



          I was reading the newspaper early this morning and a certain comic strip reminded me of my dear buddy since our crazy grade school/high school days, Julia Goolia. Teehee... she was the one who introduced me way back then to all the dirty stuff which I thought were only for boys.



    FoxTrot




          Julia, have a safe trip going back home! We missed you a lot (kahit na wala kang pasalubong)!!!



    P.S.

    Hurry up and get here! I need to borrow your powder blue dress.

    1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?

    No. I'm not but my best friend is. (Does that count?) I just am not. Am too lazy to fix stuff every now and then. I try to but I miserably fail.



    2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?

    Yup but I often forget about it after awhile only to remember it again when it's way past the middle of the month.



    3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?

    Sorta.



    4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?

    When they're on the shelf? Nopee.



    5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?

    My journal-slash-scrapbook. My junk collection that I want to put there seems to be an endless thing.
