i'm bored right now, so what better thing to do but write on my blog!
they are officially together!
yep you heard (or read?!) it right! they are officially together. after breaking up with the cutie-patootie michael vartan, who is by the way uberly overflowing with sex appeal, there were some speculations going around that jennifer garner was seen with her daredevil co-actor ben affleck, who i may add gives justice to the word hotness. have been seen together. and true enough, the pictures of them together at the world series games 1 and 2 (red sox vs. cardinals!) proved the rumors true.
so who cares right?
well i do. i'm a big jennifer garner fan. and i was a die-hard of the jennifer-michael tandem (a.k.a. sydney-vaughn). it did hurt me to find out that they split, because they looked so cute together, and they complemented each other.
it seems to me that jennifer easily falls for her leading men:
scott foley (remember him from felicity? yah, they married in 2000, divorced in 2002)
michael vartan (michael vaughn of alias; he's also the guy in "never been kissed")
and now ben affleck.
what a lucky biyatch!
is this another bennifer in the making? i surely hope not. after all, they look good together (in fairness to them!). J.Ga vs. J.Lo? jennifer garner is way better (although J.Lo's booties are something!).
so varty, don't agonize too much 'cause i'm coming for you sweetie! :D
frustration

what irritates me more is that joy (my sister) only had her license for a little less than a year, and when she goes to faraway places (she even reached greenhills...alone), it's okay with them. it's not a matter of her being older, it's a matter of having that experience. i'm just beginning to think that everything she does is okay with them because she's the "summa". so she's probably doing the right things all the time. they should try riding with her, and experience that little recklessness in her.
and jaja, my oldest sister, started driving when she was in 1st year college (she was 18) , to up manila. now lasalle and upm are not really that far apart, is it?
is it because i'm the youngest? remember, i'm 20 now.
it just feels so unfair.
atleast ate kattie trusts me (and sometimes my dad). she always volunteers me to drive for her (although it never really pushes through).
i guess i just have to keep on depending on our driver, titing.

so i'm 20! so what?! i still feel young, like i'm 12 or something!
by the way, i had my US VISA interview yesterday, and it was denied. a part of my application asked how long my last stay was, and since my answer was 14 months (1 year and 2 months), that i think kinda made them suspicious that i'd go TNT (tago nang tago), or maybe i'd violate the visa again. but my extension was legal, and i had the supporting documents to prove it. what irritated me the most was the consul didn't even have the decency to ask me why i stayed in the states that long. he asked me nonsensical questions, questions that had no basis of him denying my visa.
me: good morning! (with a bright smile on my face!)
consul: good morning maam. please put your left index finger on the scanner. (and so i did) and your right. so what are you going to do in the states?
me: i'm just gonna be there on a vacation.
consul: so what are you going to do there?
me: just touring places, and visiting my relatives.
consul: which relatives?
me: my cousins, uncles, and aunts. no immediate family.
consul: so what are you studying?
me: (i heard him say "where are you studying?") in de la salle university manila.
consul: yah i know. WHAT are you studying?
me: oh. commerce major in marketing management.
consul: so what's your family business?
me: rubber export, and a sugar plantation.
consul: do you have a savings account in your name?
me: yes, there's only a little from my allowance.
consul: (talking to my dad) sir can i see your passport?
dad: sure sure. (hands the passport)
consul: when was the last time you were in the states.
dad: just this september.
consul: for how long?
dad: 10 days.
consul: what did you do there?
dad: vacation.
consul: how often do you go there?
dad: sometimes once a year. but as a pilot, i always go to guam.
consul: oh you're a pilot? where do you fly?
dad: philippine airlines.
consul: (fixes the passport and application form. stamps the passport with "received", and signs. at this point, i was like "uh oh!") sorry maam, i cannot grant you a visa today.
THAT WAS IT?!?! i waited 6 hours for that!? i personally think that when he saw the 14 months on my application, he had already decided that he would deny me. that one-tracked minded son of a bitch! he was just asking questions for the sake of asking questions. he did not even look at the pertinent documents that we presented.
don't get me wrong, i'm not itching to go the states (i just wanna go to watch usher and american idol!), neither am i devastated because i wasn't given a visa. i'm just disappointed because he did not show (through his questioning) me or explain (explicitly) to me why i didn't deserve a visa.
i have him to thank actually. because he has given me a reason to go to australia or thailand, or to some other country i haven't been to.
anyway, HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO ME!! *fireworks!* (and to iggy, louie, and abby!)
birthday!

happy birthday, LOUIE!
happy birthday, RIC!
there are so many people celebrating their birthdays today. which reminds me, i'm turning 20 in 9 days! time really flies so fast. it was just like yesterday when i had my 18th birthday with my friends. now my teenage life is about to be zilch. 20 is such a scary age. with these two numbers come certain responsibilities that people expect from you. but nevertheless, i don't really fear getting old. in fact, i'm looking forward to experiencing those things that i will be going through in the future. i don't mind getting wrinkles or having saggy skin, the most important thing is that i stay true to my heart. my props to jamie lee curtis for being one of the most genuine people in hollywood!
hi to jb! (anu to, tv show!? nagpapabati!?)
looking forward to christmas break

wish list
Monday, October 04, 2004
so i came up with 3 things on the top of my wishlist...these things are rather impossible to acquire because i am financially unstable (euphemism for walang pera!), but what the heck, libre mangarap!
1. a nokia 6260. i've always loved clamshell phones, because they look so cool! originally, i liked the samsung p400, but nokia has once again lured me into becoming more loyal to them. this phone has more features and is more physically attractive. the operating system from what i have understood, is somewhat like a palm's. it actually has a wireless keyboard that comes along with it. how cool is that?! for more information, visit the website! http://www.nokia.com.ph/nokia/0,,59778,00.html
2. a casio PS-20 digital piano. i want a digital piano, not just some keyboard, because its "feel" is more like a piano's. to be a great pianist, i need to practice everyday. how can i practice during weekdays if i don't have anything to practice on in the condo? this is the answer.
3. an ipod. i just wanna walk around with a headset, and just listening to the songs that i love. :)
so, guys! it's almost my birthday. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*
hopeful
i just don't feel that i was well taken care of by jc. :( most of the time, i was just left with his friends (not that i'm complaining, they're great), but i really didn't feel that i was his girlfriend that night. there was even a point when i was alone in one of the tables. i understand that he had these responsibilities as the brother of the debutante, but i duno, i can't explain it. *sob*
it was during mass that i was pondering on some possible things that jc and i could do so that we could bring a little change and excitement into our relationship. it kinda bothered me that we've been together for so long, yet we haven't really done anything out of the ordinary. little sweet things can really make a big difference.
so here's the list:
1. go to mass together (we've only done that once!)
2. go to the grocery together
3. spend a day in EK (two of us only!)
4. walk along the beach during sunset (can be at night! we've done that in boracay, but hopefully the next time would be more romantic)
5. have a picnic somewhere vast and remote
6. eat lunch in tagaytay
7. hang out on a cliff, and enjoy the view
8. go to a drive-in movie
i know there are a million more ways, but these are the only things i can think of right now. realistic...attainable. *sigh*
sucker
my literature teacher just made my day (sarcastically speaking).
two minutes before the time, people at the back started fixing their things already: putting their notebooks in their bags, etc. apparently this did not make him so happy about it. he suddenly burst his bubble, and said:
"baket nag-aayos na kayo ng gamit, ha? i still have 2 minutes. ang babastos niyo eh. baket hindi niyo ako mahintay? kayo hinihintay ko (these guys were usually late). you shouldn't mess with me. ang babastos niyo. the next time you do that, i will send you to the DO (discipline office). don't you know who i am? i have a phd in literature. i'm a doctor. and i'm also a writer, god i'm a published writer! and you, (pertaining to the whole class, i assume) you don't even have an undergraduate degree. you have nothing. you are nothing."
WOW. it amazes me how some people can regard themselves so high of themselves, just because they have a phd or whatever. what does he expect us to do, treat him with high reverence? what is he, a saint? what pisses me off the most is that yes, he may be a writer (or so he claims), but he doesn't even have a name for himself yet (not that i know of), and that's the way he treats other people, specifically us, as if we're some good-for-nothing bastards who do nothing but slack off. the point is, right then and there, he's just a teacher. and he should be using that phd not to insult or degrade us, but to help us be that someone/something that we want and should be.
oh yes, we do have something. we just happen to have the money to pay for his big-ass salary. so he should be thankful that we're here, otherwise he wouldn't have anything to feed his system.
up yours.
