  • Big Brother

    Big note: I will not be talking about some reality television series this time.

    This may sound melancholic, but I just realized this past few days that I’ve been longing for a big brother, or maybe even a little one. Here’s my story:

    Before evening last Tuesday, I became excited when my father told me my older cousin will be sleeping over our house for the night because his friend asked him to teach something. It didn’t actually take place, so we just hung around, watched a movie, and talked about stuff. I was happy. But, it was actually my mother who made me realize that I long for a kuya (“big brother” in English). Yes, I have an older sister whom I really am close with, but I can neither play games nor watch action movies with her.

    A big brother is plainly impossible that’s why I guess even a little brother would suffice. Though my mother said it is still possible for her to bear a child, it will be very difficult and dangerous for she’s already in her forties, and she have had operations somewhere in her reproductive system. 🙁

    BTW, I have had my hair cut yesterday — shaved sides ang back. I don’t actually miss the long-back style I’ve had for years now, it’s so damn hot these days that I became comfortable with this new haircut almost immediately. I just don’t know how I can handle my classmates’ and friends’ teasing of gagong gupit or such when I go to school this Monday or Tuesday. Now, I really look like some fat kid who’s missing a big brother. I just hope other people won’t see it as such. 😆

  • Post-Valentine post

    Time goes by so fast and I really feel very left behind. So many things cram up my schedule; I don’t know what to think anymore. Valentine’s day was simple — so many restrictions made it somehow that way. With all those planning that fell apart, I just want to tell my baby I’m so sorry. Engineering Week kept me busy with projects. And — my most hated part — minor subjects kept making me feel they’re so important.

    Here’s almost everything:

    1. I have to finish an acceptance speech for Eng 107A for tomorrow — memorized and complementary to one of my classmate’s presentation speech that have arrived in my inbox just about now.
    2. I have to research and draft a concept paper about Mga Epekto ng mga Pelikulang Sci-Fi sa mga Hinaharap na Pagbabago sa Intelektwal na Aspeto ng mga Manonood for Fil 2 for Saturday.
    3. I have to pass my Masterpiece for Phl 5 for Tuesday.
    4. I have to pass two Final Laboratory Reports for Phys 205L for Wednesday; and
    5. I have to wake up so early on Sunday to run and “donate” money for CWTS‘s Run for Humanity.

    Yes, that’s too many. Err … At least for me.

    Ok, I actually had in mind a lot of things to talk about. But, I’m afraid my mind is jumbled up again right now. I think I have to start on that speech already. Until the next update. Wish me luck on everything, thanks! 🙂

    BTW, I have made my JoHari Window just for fun. Anyone of you who’s got nothing to do unlike me: Please, fill it out. Thank you!

  • Getting ready for Valentine’s

    I should have started thinking of something to do for the 14th weeks ago, but there has been so much work in school that each day went by without something planned. I really do not know if what I have already thought of just now is executable, but I think I should give it a try. Just wait, guys, I won’t be revealing anything just yet — my girlfriend may be reading this. I just hope my plan (or anything else I could do if it fails) will work. Cheer me up please. Oh crap, maybe I should be doing it myself, quoting someone from a Korean television series: Aja! (Go fight!)

    Btw, maybe you guys could suggest something I could do. Or better, what you’d like someone to do for you? I know it would really help. 🙂

    Now, here’s something I think I did for the sake of Valentine’s day. I just had an appointment this afternoon with my dentist. I came home smiling to my family wearing red elastics. Nothing really. You could laugh now. 😆

    I remember earlier this day, I came home from school via a different route. My ride usually travels through Roxas Boulevard but the 3rd annual Lovapalooza was being set up there. I think couples are starting to crowd there now. Oh, how I wish we could come. 🙁

    Ehehe … Never mind that. I’m happy still, after all, it is just a kiss. 😛

  • A Role Model

    Earlier tonight, I’ve finished watching GTO Live Action series my sister and I borrowed from our uncle. Even if I had already watched this whole series one day years ago, I, still, was really entertained by everything he did in those 12 episodes (spanning nine hours) of comedy and drama. I’ve even finished watching the GTO Live Action Drama Special — a special sequel to the series — and the GTO Live Action Movie, which is not connected to the series.

    I really do not know how he does it (or at least how he thinks about things) but I really am amazed on how he recovers from every trial prejudice and first impressions bring him. What makes me wonder more is that how he could be so right and so wrong at the same time (of course, with more emphasis on the right deeds). I don’t plan to be a teacher but Eikichi is one person I’d really look forward to be in the future, less the foul mouth and crudity. 😛

    Now, I really wish I could do to my girlfriend what he did to impress and make Miss Fuyutsuki fall in love with him … It was impressively pure of heart.

    GTL: Great Teacher Lapus — Doesn’t sound right, does it? 😆

  • One big slip of the tongue

    I doubted it since I first saw its advertisement. I doubted it more after I’ve seen the show. Even more doubts came during the middle of its season. Now one big slip of the tongue gave it all away.

    Many rumors already say somebody connected to the network will win. Now it makes sense to me.

    Why would anyone let the rich play the game to be rich? A magazine model and an imported commercial model? Give me a break! I really think it’s for the show’s marketing — not for the challenge of playing the game.

    Ok, I know you have an idea of what I am talking about. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I didn’t really want to post something about this. The events that popped out made me do so.

    Yes, yes. I’m talking about Pinoy Big Brother — the only show I think ABS-CBN’s been proud of recently. No wonder, it sure makes a hell lot of a money from its viewers and sponsors. Even tried to make them think their votes will count for the last minute. Oh, I most certainly doubt it — they had the evictee’s mother come home the night before the evictee was voted to be evicted! Got script? No doubt about that.

    Quick update: Look! Somebody noticed, too.
