after almost a year, i forgot how does it feel to cram. since this afternoon.
i didn't go to my french class two weeks ago because i have to attend on the whims of lola (if your an avid reader of this crap i call blog, you might already know who she is) and last week because it was holy week, which is an official holiday so i have no idea what they've discussed on class and what on earth the exam coverage will be. so i asked bernie (one of my classmates) through SMS regarding the stuff i missed two weeks ago and i had wrongly interpreted her message. i thought the exam will be moved next week (april5) and this saturday's meeting will be our review. so, as the procrastinator that i am, i just savor the tranquility of the lent, relaxed the whole time and momentarily suspend the "french portion" on my brain.
when i got to class this afternoon, my wide smile and rather rejuvenated disposition was rattled when one of my classmates asked me if i've already studied my notes and if i am ready for the exam!OMG!!! how stupid can i get?!how could i ever assume that the professor, like my french 1 teacher before, will give us leeway since we are novice?! how can i ever think of that?! and so i have to resort on my not-so-reliable academic lifesaver: cramming. oh i hope 30 minutes of browsing over my notes is enough for me to get a très bon remark on my certificate again.hehehe!

i've made an absolutely unpardonable offense to the fellowship of the bookworms. i almost ripped in half the back cover of my copy of chocolat! i appeal to you, my comrades, to absolve me from this sin for it is purely an unfortunate accident.out of sheer recklessness i pulled chocolat out of my bag without noticing that the back cover was caught in the zipper of my wallet. how it happened i have no idea. i, for one, would never intendedly commit such an appalling misdeed against our loyal and sublime companions. huhuhuhuhu!!!! i felt horrible, really! huhuhuhuhuhu!!!! oh had it been a murakami book or my copy of the virgin suicides or my the hours i will be beyond devastated i will perform hakakiri straightway..huhuhuhu!!!
postscript : after her lament, pebi had fixed the book (thanks to the magic touch of her little friend, scotch tape) and continued on reading it as if nothing had happened.......
oh for heaven sake, i really fell guilty!books should not be treated like that!they have lives too!it's me being obsessive- compulsive again.

..that the longest word in french vocabulary is anticonstitutionnellement, which means uncostitutionality en anglaise.

of all the catholic events popularly celebrated, the lent is my favorite. for one, it is still untainted by commercialization unlike christmas. well it's on its way, but at least it is still solemn. :) anyhow, although i love the lent, i've never done the visita iglesia. as the name implies, one visits the church and symbolically "pays his/her last respect" to the departed christ (at least on what i have observed. i hope i'm correct.) janine and i are supposed to go to the pink sisters chapel in tagaytay yesterday but she came home from work at pass 1am and our meeting time is at 8am. she asked we go today instead but i spent my last P200 on food. talk about binging on a holiday. but my family decided we go to the immaculate conception parish in bayan for visita iglesia. by the way, we hear mass on that same church every sunday. hehehe..
we didn't left the church yet after our visit because there's going to be a prusisyon in 20 minutes and for almost 14 years of our stay in dasmarinas we haven't witness one yet. it's either we're there to late or we're there too early that boredom sent us home.
after our visita iglesia, i had formulated two very vital hypotheses (1) handsome guys know how to do the station of the cross, and (2) the local konyo kids enjoy pushing the wheeled pedestal, where the santos are placed during the prusisyon, that their parents owned.

si julio at julia, kambal ng tadhana.
di susuko, sa pagsubok!!!!!!!!
(crap! i know ithe tagalog lyrics before by heart. like an automatic videoke staple song)
i spent half the time watching the first few episodes of julio at julia wondering why on earth a caucasian girl had an asian twin brother, and vice versa. then i realized i missed the "kambal ngtadhana" part of the story. i just got overwhelmed by the complexity of the theme of this anime. i say complex since a child with slow mental process (like myself) will less likely to get a firm grasp of the story. nah, who am i fooling?! hahahaha! the truth is i never care less about the twins. sure they're cute and the audience is expected to root for the bida. but man, would you blame me for highly revering at the same time being daunted by the sublime reyna dowager?! astig! although she is really beyond horrifying and reminiscing her still creeps the hell out of me. matatakutin lang siguro talaga ako.hahaha!

lola (a.k.a. my employer) made me choose between keeping my trivial job and going to school. i will not go on to details why she said that since the event precedent to this is rather complicated. of course i didn't give her the answer that will definitely make her kick my butt out her mansion, but the voice in my head is already yelling "p*tang ina!mag-aaral ako kahit anong mangyari at hindi mo ako pagmamayaari kahit binabayaran mo ko ng PhP***** every month!utang na loob ka!!kung akala mo habang buhay ako sayo matanda ka nagkakamali ka?!you made an effin mistake when you hired a budding megalomaniac!!!". instead i kept my mouth shut and nodded like all the other people around her. gad why am i so nice?
kung wala lang akong target na ipon, lalayasan ko na talaga ngayon si lola. tutal lalayasan ko rin naman sya talaga eh, pinapatagal ko lang dahil mukha akong pera.hehehe..

seems like ms. teen south carolina 2007 had able to extended her sphere of influence in a short period of time and had able to infilrate the so-called most prestigious beauty pageant in the country, bb. pilipinas. i'm talking about janina san miguel, this year's crowned bb. pilipinas- world. hahaha! girl, you just turned yourself into a LEGEND. hahaha!
naalala ko dati yung isang contestant sa mutya ng pilipinas na di ko matandaan ang taon. pansin mo na kinakabahan sya pero nadala nya ang sarili nya ng maayos, at nang sasagot na sya sa tanong nya, ito roughly ang sinabi nya: "dahil nasa pilipinas po tyo, pinipili ko pong sumagot sa aking katanungan sa filipino." i rooted for her since then, and thank goodness she won. hindi naman kasi usapin ng edad o kagalingan ng pagsasalita sa isang wika ang pagkakalat nitong si janina. usapin ito ng bilis ng pagiisip at ng grace under pressure. :)

out of intrigue, i bought a copy of juno with a plan to totally bash the film among my peers because i reckon it is just an adaptation of a korean movie (jenny, juno) and the writer didn't even give credit to it. but after seeing juno, my hasty assumption turns out to be shamefully wrong. now i wanted to recant any innuendo against this film i might have posted somewhere online.
like little miss sunshine, juno is not a quintessential movie obviously made to garner worldwide accolade. the protagonist is not faced with the grand dilemma anyone could possible think of like salvaging half of the world's population from dengue virus or battling up with self-inflicted insanity. on the contrary, one could pass it as a typical teenage movie complete with all the those teenage hung ups. but what made juno unique is the way the director treated the material and how the writer "desensationalized" the topic of teenage pregnancy. with desensationalized i mean not devoting 30-60 percent of the film debating whether it is moral/immoral to conceive while still in highschool, plus the incessantly irksome outpour of tears. i like the elements of less dramatically orchestrated yet witty dialogues and intelligent humour which, i dare say, had defined the film. although i find juno's parents reaction to her situation rather unrealistic, nonetheless touching. any parents will initially go ballistic if they found out that their 16-year-old kid had sex out of boredom and got pregnant.
this song defines juno and her friend paulie's relationship. the scene, although a bit corny for my taste, is one of the most memorable ones.and also my one of my favorites in the entire film (i'm being paradoxical again.hahaha!) take a glimpse of juno and promise me you'll see it too. enjoy like i did :)
You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

ang pagiging isang babae sa lipunang hinubog sa patrirarkal na kultura ay hindi isang sumpang dapat ay habang buhay pagdusahan. ito ay isang prebilehiyong lumago bilang isang taong hindi nagpapakahon sa kamalayang kanyang kinagisnan.
mabuhay ang mga kababaihan! araw natin ito!
babae ako, dinggin ang aking sigaw!

tirivia: when a boy always bugs and teases a girl, it means he likes her and he's just trying to get her attention hence he's vexing her all the time. this anime taught me that.
little women 2 was my first glimpse to pubescence. during its airing i thought it was the most mature anime ever made. also, i see nan as an anime version of myself. just like her, i've always been boyish, easygoing and friendly to the guys like i am one of them.

no i do not want to join the obama-clinton hype but this rather curious video is such a must see and i reckon it deserves a spot here in my humble lair.hahaha! so forgive me for being hypocritical people. just watch the video and you'll understand. enjoy.
on a serious note, i find this video a little bit sexist.

before being aware of the existence of the goddess penelope cruz, i remembered growing up loathing all the penelopes of the world. blame one of this anime's episodes where a pachikas fairy named penelope had mistaken peter pan for her mother. how stupid?! the only word she utters in the entire episode is "mama" in a awkward high pitched note.*shiver* gaad i just wanna smother her then chop her minuscule body to pieces! yes, i've been exhibiting homicidal tendencies since 2nd grade (fairycidal for that)...hehehe. or perhaps it is just an early manifestation of my abhorrence to damsels in distress.
en general, j'adore cet anime très beaucoup!
