i heard from a teacher before that what you think, you become. it's worth a shot, i guess.
I AM AN HONOR STUDENT. I AM A RESPONSIBLE STUDENT. I WILL GET DEAN'S LIST STATUS THIS SEMESTER.
hey! i think it's working! LOL
i was at school and i was with my female friends from the conservatory. is it me, or did people suddenly become more attractive? even the people i more frequently see seem to have upped a notch in the eye-candy level.
am i THAT lonely? hahahaha 
must be hormones.
i left this afternoon for the youth center for a meeting with the whole worship team. i loved the devotions.
proceeded to eastwood for bowling with frontline people. i'm no good, but i really had so much fun. really. i'd like to bowl again soon. real soon.
after bowling, we played pool. they were the same guys i played CS with so they were shouting "adik!" as i was making my shots. i really am not that good. i just like playing and i got easy shots. hehe.
it was 12 so we headed for somethin' fishy for the breakfast buffet. i ate soooooo much. i got home at 1:30.
it's now 3:30am and i'm still not feeling like ready to sleep. you know what they say about pigging out and sleeping right away right?
getting back into my school routine from my summer routine is proving to be a bit difficult.
a: i still spend as if it was summer. i buy what i want to eat or buy something that's totally not needed and not worthwhile and end up using up my allowance for the rest of the week. as a result, i have to starve myself towards the end of the week to get by. nice work einstein.
b: i go to sleep when people are starting to wake up. well, it aint as "grabe" as summer na tipong 6am na akong natutulog. i still sleep past midnight and that can't be good if i have 830am classes the day after. i mean, a few hours after.
c: i still turn to computer gaming to fight boredom. it's in my blood. it's soooo hard to resist. at least now i've quit playing my online games which require insane amounts of time and money to enjoy. but still, in a strict weekly budget, any amount saved from these games will help. we're actually planning to have cable TV installed in the condo so whoopie. more time there than elsewhere.
hopefully things will get better as the weeks go by.
my proffesors are great. they've been my profs before. that's how small the population of the conservatory is. my music theory teacher now was my math and solfeggio proffesor. she's cool. she finished schooling as a certified public accountant then studied music. she's real smart and all but man, she really knows how to bust my bubble. she's one of the few profesors who gives a hoot about the university haircut. and as she put it, "magpapagupit ka ba o magpapapalit ng teacher?" so long samurai hair. you were good while you lasted. *sniff*
i finally know how it feels to be the lonely upperclassman sitting at the back of the room with no friends. haha. stupid first year classes. i shouldn't have left them behind. oh well.
it's good to see my school friends. they aren't the best influences, but i sure did miss their company. my role in the kada was always to be the butt of jokes and be the smart-arse who proves everyone wrong. haha. and also the soprano of our spice girls singing trio as we walk to the carinderia for lunch. hahahahhaha.
looking forward to finding time to squeeze time for church events in my schedule. parang mahirap, pero kaya yan.
regarding waking up, milch, my roommate's girlfriend, has been very helpful in waking me up for my really early classes. i dunno how to get to class without her. hahahaha
all in all, the first week was tiring and draining. i missed 2 weeks of going to the beach because of it. bleah.
miss permejo is a real old teacher in the conservatory who teaches filipino. she was my teacher during my freshman year. first day, she always teaches this simple line: "Huwag ikahiya ang mabuting gawa!" (she teaches more of morality rather than filipino, actually but who cares? =P)
if only all people practice that saying, then it would be a better world to live in.
such a sweet old lady. good thing i'll be seeing her around since school's back.
it is done. more than a year's worth of hair down the drain. i now sport hair that's A LOT shorter, not like highschool though. i style it to be messy. that's an irony. wee. i actually give a hoot about style now. i actually bought hair wax. 
in other news, i was nominated to be in the mr. music pageant after i had my haircut. i seriously was freaked, but these things don't come everyday. yeah yeah, i took the offer. a bit reluctant, but yeah. not my thing, but i'm willing to try.
just came from SM. watched fast and the furious: tokyo drift. it was nice. a lot of CG. miro and i were shouting "fake!" whenever there were CG cars drifting. for the untrained eye though, the CG's are cool. i like japan. i like their culture. i want to visit someday. and meet a cute little girl. and get married. and have children. beautiful children. LOL
speaking of marriage, i've been passing around prank texts about me getting married. and i usually pass them around at midnight. some people actually call me back. hehe. just to clear it up, I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED ON JUNE 31. there's no such date! hahahahha

i must admit, i was very flattered to hear these comments. feels good to actually hear people say good things about you. i'll try to keep this "do" for a while. 
just came from Quest meeting. only 5 were there including me. and i'm not even gonna be there! hahaha. well, there was food for 15 but only 5 of us. the most logical thing was to take it home! after eating what we could, we went to work wrapping up the food on paper plates and aluminum foil. thanks to Lucky, i got 0% spillage commuting back to the condo. i took a cab. Adrian was nice enough to wait for me to get one. shortly after getting up to speed, there was an abnormal noise at the back. flat tire. we pulled over and the driver went on to change the tire. in the middle of the changing, out comes Adrian to investigate. he's been watching the cab all along! haha. the driver changed the tires in approximately 3 minutes, not bad, and we were on our way again. he was a chatty driver. he was also cheerful. our chat ranged from his children to the sports he liked and his frustration on learning a musical instrument. he likes classical music too. we was so very proud of his daughter, a certified nurse, now having her visa approved for the states. found out that he was a christian too. he commented on how "mabait" i was, or so it seemed (haha) coz i dont do sports and i like writing stuff. the trip ended with me getting his number and giving a tip. i promised him that i'd give him tickets to CCP sometime.
if only ALL people were as nice as this guy, then the world would be so much better.
if only.
oh well, we now have burgersteak to last 2 days without cooking. ok, that's exaggerated but you get the idea right? that's a lot of burger steak!
this feeling sucks. it's plagued me since highschool.
i don't want to spend my time alone anymore.

i am so TIRED. been practicing since friday night. i am literally EXHAUSTED. i miss this feeling. i miss having to practice endless nights to give God the best. it really really feels good to be back in the team again.
playing with the team is a blast. i can't think of a better adjective without having to transplant a new brain. i'm really that drained. playing for God though made it all worthwhile.
im tired. im going to sleep.
EDIT:
i was too tired and sleepy to write everything last night, so here i am to complete this. after 12 hours of sleep (and missing a couple of classes because of this), i am finally revitalized.
had loads of fun yesterday. oh, even saturday!
last sat, i had to drive my mom real early to go to the airport. by 7:30am she was already there and i had nothing to do. i texted a couple of friends who lived in the area and hoped that they were awake. while waiting for them to reply, i drove around roxas blvd. i heard the Mall of Asia was there so i tried looking for it. i reached malate, ermita, and all those side streets. failing to find it, i headed back to roxas and was bound for edsa. upon the u-turn going to edsa, i saw the sign "to mall of asia" so i swerved and went there. i felt stupid wasting all that gas trying to find it in the wrong place. hahah. well there, too bad it was still closed. HELLO, IT WAS STILL 8AM. haha. went to edsa and proceeded to go to the ortigas area.
parked near the church and had breakfast at the nearby Goodah!!. went back to church and got my guitar and proceeded to walk for Galleria. it was just 9:20am and the mall won't open till 10. so i wait. that day was annoying. the shorts i picked only had one pocket, and it had a small hole in it so i couldn't put spare change in there. all my stuff were in my backpack which i carried with my guitar. people were increasing in number as 10am approached, and finally the doors open. i headed straight to RJ music store and got brand new strings for my guitar. i had them replace it too coz i'm a real messy string winder. the strings were great. the guy did an excellent job stringing my guitar too. it sounds great and looks great. great. i guess it was around 10:30am when i was done there. i took a trip to timezone and made a fool of myself trying play DDR. it was a real long time since i played that game and the songs were strange to me. i played drummania instead. as some of you would know, im a frustrated drummer. as i was drumming, i turned my head around coz i saw someone in my peripheral view. it was chris. hung with him around a bit and went back to church. there was no youth around yet and there was this prayer and fasting thing going on in the worship hall. good thing janny came early.
"anong ginagawa mo dito?" i said.
"ikaw anong ginagawa mo dito?" he replied.
hehe.
to "cut the short story short," janny suggested to go to megamall to have my guitar fixed. it was missing the peg thing that the strap fastens to. no peg = no strap. no strap = no standing up. no standing = no rock star stances. hahaha. janny, chris and i drove to megamall. chris wanted to walk. janny and i didnt. 2 vs 1. lazy boys win! too bad all the music shops there didn't have the thing i needed. what a waste of time. i remembered i had some money left in my timezone powercard so we headed for that. i tried the stacker game which i am so addicted to. it was the first BIG stacker machine that i ever saw. i always see and play the small ones with cellphones as prices. this big one has stuffed toys for prizes. and they were "original" too. disney and carebears stuff. since i wasn't frequenting the place and my money in my card would probably expire if i didn't use it, i played it. and lo and behold, i won. i actually won at stacker! on my first try! i felt like the king of the universe! some bystanders were watching. after all, this is a rare event. i was kinda upset coz it couldve been the cellphone then one of the bystanders said the cellphones were at the small stacker machine nearby. i practically ran for it and tried my luck and after more than a hundred pesos later, still no prize. God let me have 2 teddy bears and no cellphone. thank you God. before i squander averything my atm card has inside it, we head for the car and see wendy's. we ate and went for the car. it was raining hard. due to the slope of the road in megamall, there was ankle-deep water on the road. where i parked though, was on the uphill part so no worries there. we drove for Galleria this time coz abi and kit texted that they were there. we were off. on the way there, we saw ian walking from the mrt station. it was raining and the roads and sidewalks were full of puddles. he was wearing slippers. of course we stopped for him and gave him a lift. he ended up going with us to Galleria. upon going there, we played some more stacker. hahahaha. more money down the drain. abi sez she's in starbucks so we met her. in starbucks was kuya brian, cara, kuya mike, and some other church people. i'm beggining to feel that Galleria's my second home. haha. we all looked for football stuff. it's the craze nowadays. then wella and dags bumped into us. i keep bumping into people! kit also came. we were now a group of 8! it was around 2:30 that we were finished doing everything and proceeded to the youth center. wella had to leave so that leaves more butt-space in the car. 
around 3:30, we go back to the worship center with a pitstop at mcdo el pueblo. practice starts at 5 instaed of 4 coz of the prayer thing at the worship hall. no biggie. then we practice till 10. tired and sleepy, i drove dags home and went straight for home. picked up some clothes, and commuted back to dags' place. there's no way i could wake up on my own at 6am. i arrived at his place at around 12 already. i plopped like a dead mosquito with a baygon drinking problem.
dags' dad drove us to church and arrived at 6am. the day was pretty much monotonous, services start at 7am, 9am, 11am, 3pm, and 6pm and end one and a half to two hours later. what was special was stacker time after the 11 and 3pm services. i was late for 3pm and 6pm services due to that infernal game. so after a depleted atm account, still no prize from stacker. oh, and i got kicked in the butt by a girl at air hockey. that's about it.
rematch tayo abi!
goodbye windy times
goodbye happy times
goodbye sammy the samurai hairdo
