The Sweetest Thing


What's the number 2 Milk Tea in UST?
 -- (In a Head and Shoulders TV Ad tone of voice) I really don't know.
What's the number 1 Milk Tea in UST
--Syempre Simple Line. :)

YES. IT IS THE SWEETEST THING. MY ULTIMATE STRESS BUSTER.COFFEE KONJAC FOREVER.
I love everything about this milk tea, except from the fact  that it makes me wiwi eight times after I drink it, plus  many other ways of Biological Excretion that lead to ambush trips to the Comfort Room. Hahaha.
Go search it on the web and you will find a million health helps that it gives to the body. And the taste, oh the taste. I can't get enough of it.

It has become my harmless addiction. It makes a stressful day one million inches easier and bearable. I so love it, a day wouldn't pass without me buying it. The mere smell and sensation of entering the Simple Line Stall relaxes me instantly.
I have my friends to thank, Eunisse and Mechelle for accompanying me during random trips to Simple Line in-between classes and.. for tolerating my very healthy addiction.Thank you, ladies! :)

And actually, I am considering Eunisse's suggestion of having a Milk Tea Dispenser at home, and make it like my Water. Haha. *kidding.
But seriously, Aaron (who is also a huge milk tea fan) and I considers buying a Franchise of Simple Line after graduation. *we were dreaming :))) Haha.


I'm just so happy for having Coffee Konjac in my life.(Op. Seryoso) :))

(Miss, ano order mo?)
"Coffee Konjac, please. Large." That's it.. and  my day is complete.
:))))

The Lovers' Lane and the Moon

Photo by Mr. Russell Pua
Several weeks ago, before I even made this blog.. I was walking alone in UST Lovers' Lane, as I was making my way to my Dorm. As the name implies, it is the Lovers' Lane, where the moon shines so bright, where everyone has another hand to hold, where couples have these heart-shaped eyes as they gaze in each other, where everyone seems to be so sweet and in-love, everyone seems to be so happy.. and it's contagious! But then, it is also a place where I probably don't belong.
I am used to this scenario.. because it is not only in Lovers Lane where I get to see sick people like them, they are everywhere, like Jollibee, they're omnipotent.


I felt a little amount of envy deep inside. Okay, I felt a lot of envy deep inside. Haha. I felt it running through my veins. I felt the sudden surge of emotions putting thoughts in my head like, 'Why in the world am I alone?'. I have asked the same question to myself a gazillion times, in different circumstances, for a lot of different reasons. But it was only then, right at that very moment, at the sight of UST's very dramatic and melancholic ambience at night, and in the midst of sweethearts making PDA all around, have I had an answer to my own question.

It is because I have chosen to be in that situation. It was my choice. The whole thing was according to my own preference and decision. Nobody, in anyway, forced me or held me back. I could have chosen to just ride a trike or walk along Lacson St., or in any other route other than Lovers' Lane. Yes, I had a choice. I had a choice not to have walked in Lovers' Lane as much as I had a choice about not having someone to hold my hand and walk me home that night.

I had my chances to choose the other way around. But I didn't. And if I had felt sad or envy or jealous or lonely, that was my fault. I have myself to blame. But then, I have realized that night, I have nothing to regret. I have enough reasons why I opted to let go of my chances, why I decided to be in such a situation, and I why I was alone walking along amidst lovers. It was a tough thing to go through, but I got through it.

I may be alone for the moment, (Okay, I've been alone for quite a time) but I know I am happy, I am whole. At least my happiness is NOT ARTIFICIAL. It is pure, it is real. And for me, that is enough to keep me alive and strong to go through Lovers' Lane alone, over and over again. It is quite an assurance that someday, I will get my chance to walk in that same place with someone's hand to hold and someone's heart to love and keep, truthfully and unconditionally. And when that time comes, I am sure to bring a nice camera with me, I will be taking a lot of pictures with him, atleast to make up for the times that I was dead envious. Haha.
So before this gets a little bit way beyond the line, I'm gonna leave it like this. Byiii :)

*I was listening to John Mayer's Heartbreak Warfare as I write this. :)

THE MEANEST FEELING IN THE WORLD


The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world.   

Sometimes I wake up at dawn, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, sometimes in the afternoon. But there are some days when I don’t wake up, because I don’t sleep at all.

Although I really love sleeping, I really do. I even believe that it’s one of the nicest things in life. But there are just things that keep me away from doing my favorite hobby like school, school, school and school. Well, sometimes movies too, but most of the times it’s really school.
THE MOST SEDUCTIVE THING I KNOW. I LITERALLY SLEEP WITH IT EVERY NIGHT: MY BED
I believe that the Pen is a two-edged sword. But then, I think Scripts are an alternative. WHY? Because in the process of writing it, it makes you wanna sleep like an infant on a crib and on the other hand, it make you so alive, so active and so focused because you have to finish it and meet the deadline.
These and many other pages takes the blame for my
very heavy eyebags. 
(Did this with Mark Toldo)
Most of my no-waking-up days,are due to these Scripts that my major subject, TV Production, demands.
You know the feeling when you sleep a little bit earlier than too late, like 4AM and then you have to wake up at 6AM?  I feel like my head’s spinning around, I really don’t want to open my eyes. I’m like
 “Kakatulog ko lang ah, umaga na ulit?”. Feeling ko sobrang unfair ng mundo. Yung feeling ng batang nadaya sa Ice Ice Water. Haha. Nakalimutan ko na ako pala yung may kasalanan kasi late na ko natulog for a not-so- valid-reason dahil nanuod lang pala ‘ko ng movie the other night. Pero may explanation ako d’yan. Kasi diba, syempre tatapusin ko muna yung Homeworks, readings or whatever for school tapos syempre I want to relax din kaya I watch movies, good ones like Something Barrowed, Never Let Me Go, the Last Kiss, Just Go with it and many many many more. (Because I have a browser of this Website and they have all the movies in the world. Swear! Ask me about it!)

But then, I will never blame school for my sleepless nights. Although sometimes I complain about it, but I will never regret it. Aside from the fact that it trains me to handle big responsibilities and manage my time, it also stretches me to reach my full potential. Yezz. That’s how it works. Kaya I’m very open to new and even harder tasks, but please oh please, may it not be Sleep-depriving. Because I still have high hopes of growing up like even just an inch taller.. kasi the last time I checked, 4ft 11 inches lang ako, so I need 1 more inch para sakto sa 5ft. Para papasukin na ko sa ibang rides sa Star City. Hahaha.
(PERO! 1st year pa ko yung 4ft 11 inches na yun. 3rd year na ko, kahit pano lumaki naman siguro ako. =D )

Okay. 'nuff said. I'm gonna finish this and maybe take a nap. :)

THE MEANEST FEELING IN THE WORLD

I'm gonna Blog again.

I have started numerous Blogs in different Blogsites since my early High School Years. 
But most of them, if not all, are now DEAD. 

There were these Blogs where I poured so much heart into, those that I've wrote with  soooo much emotions that I hardly realize, I was revealing too much of myself already. Early teenage years, Yes. Those times when I thought that everything that will ever matter is the moment. I was wrong.
When I look back and check out those Blogs again, it gives me chills. I'm like, 'How could I be this stupid before.' With all those grammatical errors and very maarte contents.. Please oh please. I forsake you, old Blogs.
As the old cliche goes, "Everybody deserves a second chance". 
I do.  And I will blog again. This time, MORE SENSIBLE and LESS GRAMMATICAL ERROR.
You can never really take that away from an Ex Editor in Chief. Because no matter how hard I try to ignore errors, I always end up editing them in my mind. :)
Okay, so bear with me in this new Blogging journey. I promise to update this as often as I could despite the busy sched of my Junior Year in college and despite the demands of my own personal life. Haha. Feeling in-demand. :)

Kei. Lezz do this. :)
