i remember a year ago, there was this time tha i had this bad mood swing and i refused to tell my bestfriend hannah and my budz why i felt so bad. i remember how i stubbornly dodged their questions of concern and made it clear with them that i was okay when in fact, i was not... well today was a rehash of that episode in my life... and i'm not feeling pretty good about it... i guess when people get old, you have these repressions that eventually come out every once in a while. i guess mine was, i just wanted a break from being everybody's person. sometimes i feel as if i try so hard to please everybody when in fact, every brain cell in my head knows that it's imposible to do that. and sometimes i just feel sorry for myself for just caring too much about everybody and not being cared for in return...most of the time i FEEL it's unfair but i KNOW that it was my choice too... *altruistic? nah... just plain stupid* i'm a very genki person. i smile a lot, i joke a lot... but it's hard when you're stereotyped to this role because once you stop grinning everyone is bound to notice... today i had a very bad mood swing. and i guess as much as i KNOW how bad i felt, i didn't realize that it SHOWED. *stupid me* but it's just that i really don't feel like smiling. *but i have to... so my smile turns out to be more fake than ever!* and i didn't know how it affected everyone... but i guess in a way it did... and i just want to cry. i'm so torn between letting my true emotions show and assuring everyone that everything's ok. because they weren't and i wasn't but it's totally hard to explain things without sounding so cliche *"it's not you, it's me..."* i guess i just needed time to think, and a very good cry. now i can't sleep because i really feel bad about what happened... i feel as though i have failed everyone and as if i'm this really bad person... i can't believe i let the same mistake happen again. i dunno... maybe i think too much... but right now i KNOW i feel totally bad... i screwed up what should have been a positively happy dinner (although things weren't totally unhappy as they were chatting up a storm, as i tried to unsulk in a corner * hehehehe* well at least i tried*) i wasted a good friend's time as i whined and contemplated about my weaknesses *i can still here my friend's sigh of frustration and patience as he tried to explain one point again and again and again..* and i wasted what should have been a good memory of my time here in Japan. now i'm regretting what i have done. but now i also feel trapped in a kaleidescope of smiling faces... faces which i have to wear all the time. faces which are suppose to be me... もう自分の悲しさに溺れているのが・・・助けてくれる人がいないの。 皆にごめんね・・・ |

The first semester of my first year of graduate studies here in Japan has passed by like a blur. The funny thing is, it ended now when I seem to have found my momentum in studying... *sigh* the story of my life... heheh. But wait! it isn't over yet.... remember the line, "so near, yet so far" ?? Well that's how I feel with my spring vacation just two papers away.... two... a number so little yet so important to lazy bums like me. hahaha. As soon as I get those two down, I'll be on full vacation mode! OR NOT... I remember about a week ago I attended this benkyoukai (study group) where in graduate students get to present their researches and findings to gakubu teachers and fellow students... the research seemed pretty concrete to me at first, but as the presentor got bombarded with question after question, I realized that almost half a year has passed and my research is still, like just a camel's hump's worth...and as I tuned out to the presentation and into my own dilemma i swore to myself that i will use this spring break to get started on my research... which means... a few weeks of gimmick is all i can afford... *good luck if i can do that!* hahaha..... Oh! my haru yasumi....(T.T) On brighter things, I finished one report today! yey!!
*special thanks to Taji-san (^0^)/ |

OMG! もう二月だね!はや~え!!もうすぐバレンタイン・・・(T.T) はっきり言うとそんなにうれしくない!(笑) 今日ロランド先生のために送別会が行われた。先生はいよいよ帰国だね・・・めっちゃ寂しい!しかも、アラン君も四月から別府に勉強するよ~ますます寂しくなるね(T.T) でも人生はそうだ。変わってることがたくさんある。また四月になると新しい留学生も来て、また新しい友達・・・新しい出会い。 ただ、あたしは別れや離れるのがすごく苦手なんだ。ずっとこのままでいいなーやいつも一緒にいられたら、うれしいって思ってる。 しかし、それだったら人生ってあまり面白くなるよね・・・ ふ~ん・・・ |

Last Thursday, we went to see Evanescense's live in Zepp Osaka! The venue was kinda small *which is good* so we were actually standing nearly in front of the stage!! *asteeeeg!* For their opening they sang Everybody's Fool followed by Going Under...they sang almost all the songs in their FALLEN cd. way cool!!! Only...Monette and I got really bummed when their gig finished after an hour. Especially Monette!! We waited until almost all the people went out already, Monette wishing just for an autograph... to no avail....*sigh* After the live I got an invite to go Karaoke with my friends from school...so off I went to another gimmick! hahaha....
This from a girl who's up to her neck with papers! :D
EVANESCENCE LYRICS
"My Immortal"
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
[CHORUS:] When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me
You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along
[Chorus] |

hahaha. proof on how JOLOGS i can get: for the past three weeks i've been hooked to a member of the Taiwanese boyband F4, who've become popular in Manila because of the drama Meteor Garden. Funny though, I am what people can call a late bloomer as I didn't reallt care much for the group until a couple of weeks ago. Hahaha. basta all i know is that I like ken... hehehe *drool* hope i get cured soon though...it's getting kind of embarassing already!! hahaha...jologs, man!!
anyway, on other matters, i've resigned from my job already!! fast di ba?? I worked for three months but now I have to say my sayonaras to the people there. I am leaving for Osaka next week.... feeling kind of detach for now... I mean, I don't feel sad or lonely... and that worries me a lot. Better to be senti now then go crying like a baby later...
I miss everyone at work!! They were so nice to me and there was a time that working was really fun. The commute was just taxing, but not enough to make me thinner!
Anyways, I guess now I'll have a ll the time in the world to update this journal! |

were you ever in a situation where in you felt that you got the bad end of a bargain... like, you were a contestant of pera or bayong and you chose bayong over the money only to discover that the bayong contained a measely P20.00 bill??? well i yesterday, i did. and i realized (all over again) that life can be sooo ironic. heheheh
Anyway,,,
over the weekend I got to bond with my family and just enjoy being at the house...
we watched a local movie... that of judy ann and piolo!! hehehe coz my mom wanted to. well can't argue with MOM, diba?? but in fairness it was a cutey movie which will leave you all rosy and grinning stupidly afterwards. a thumbs up for local cinema!! yeah!
my mom's all geared up to watch ai-ai's movie... hey, she's the MOM so i guess i'm gonna be sucked into that one too... but in the end i realize that i do enjoy watching these movies... and i'm just sooo blinded by the stereotypes of today's youth. Dabah?? basta local movie baduy na for us. but see, not all local movies are a waste of money... you do find one or two in the lot that'll be worth it...
i'm still wishing for a job
ahhh... today i'm with my friends!! yay!! so happy.... i miss them all terribly pala... wahahaha |

I saw Matrix Reload today!! It's sooo sugoi!! Grabe! I didn't realize that I was sitting for two hours already... asteeeeg! hehehe. Ang gwapo ni Keanu!!! *sigh* :P---- << drool>> what a bod. ang gwapo ng porma *sigh*sigh*sigh*
Kaso super bitin...
Anyways, for those who are into Meteor Garden... I got a copy of the op song
*Nan yi wang ji chu ci jian ni Yi shuang mi ren de yan jing Zai wo nao hai li Ni de shen ying Hui san bu qu Wo ni de shuang shou gan jue ni de wen rou Zhen de you dian tou bu guo qi Ni de tian zhen Wo xiang zhen xi Kan dao ni shou wei qu Wo hui shang xin Oh...
~Zhi pa wo zi ji hui ai shang ni Bu gan rang zi ji kao de tai jin Pa wo mei shen me neng gou gei ni Ai ni ye xu yao hen da de yong qi
#Zhi pa wo zi ji hui ai shang ni Ye xu you tian hui qing bu zi jin Xiang nian zhi rang zi ji ku le zi ji Ai shang ni shi wo qing fei de yi
I can't believe that no matter how many times I've read/watched this story, I still get hooked every time. cute kasi ni Rui and Domyouji!!
I feel happy today!! ayan, for that I can stand being cooped up in the house for two whole days! hehehe... oooooh... what new dish might I learn to cook tomorrow?? |

it's funny how people reacted to my username... hehehe. they'd go something like: "inkblot chicken?!!!!!" [what the~hehehehe] well, f.y.i. i got inkblot chicken from an i.q. test or eqtest in psych. they kinda validate your personality or something through what you see or how you percieve inkblots. my sister and i both took the quiz at the same time and i got to see the chicken first! hence the name: inkblot_chicken!! hehehe nice diba??
well, another boring day has passed. i really feel useless. but i did learn how to cook pansit!! yay!! kahiya diba? oh well, time to make up for lost time.
no calls from companies whatsoever. i'm beginning to see my cellphone as dumb ( as in deaf and mute ) heheh. sana kung yun talaga ang problem diba? People keep telling me, be patient. the right job will come to you. yeah right. like the right boy diba?? naku, maybe they both got tied up while on their way here to Bulacan... i really got to check the side streets here. baka andun sila! :D hehehehe |

yesterday we invited a few japanese friends to go to intramuros and do a bit of sight-seeing, so we all met up at mcdonald's philcoa. before meeting up with the others a friend asked me if i know how to go there... then I realized: I didn't. I figured someone in the group would know... but it turns out no one did.. ^^;; Fortunately one of the japanese we invited knows how to go there (better than we do ne...) [GAN!] nakakahiya talaga!!! anyways, i had as much fun as our guests kasi naman it was also my first time to go there! [i swear! first time by commute, and first time to come back after, what? our field trip in the second grade?!] and it was nice there at night. the tourism people really did a good job... w0w manila! ehehehe.... but we had to do a lot of walking. [HAO!!] after how many weeks of being a couch potato! i swear i was soooo tired when i got home. I wanted to chika more with them, especially those i haven't met for sometime, but I wasn't able to. sayang deshou.
the ibm thingie is still at the back of my mind, haunting me whenever it has a chance. i got a call this morning from rej pretending to be a person from ibm... rats! i've been had. i mean i pulled the same stunt at someone and well, i fell for the same thing. anyways, good or bad news i have no choice but to accept things. but i'm still hoping... sana diba?! no harm in hoping.
i really miss school! i realized that yesterday when i dropped by u.p. before meeting up with the others. i got so used to the bulacan-makati route that it felt kinda weird riding a jeep going to a different direction. and when i got to the campus, i felt like a guest. like, this isn't my school anymore or something... and well that made me sad *of course!* i really should visit more often. as in tambay makuru! habang bum ako, diba?? :)
so today, i'm a homebody. guess what new dish i've learned to cook! that's all i do when i'm at home... sheesh feels like i'm training to be a housewife [IYADA YO~n]
hi rej! i really had fun seeing you (after 2 weeks...!!) you too charis :) |

yep. i checked the calendar today... it's already 2 weeks into the month of May... next thing you know, it'll be June already... and guess what?? I still haven't found a job --;; cripe! i never imagined that i'd have to wait for so long... (well after having all those part-time jobs on teaching japanese, i thought 'finding a full-time job wouldn't be so hard, right?! well, WRONG!) i mean, how many interviews pa until i get to be hired... i'm applying at 3 companies and well, i'm onto the second interview in IBM, i'm waiting for my test scores from P&G, and I'm going for an exam in People's Support on Monday *groan* all interviews, no definite job in sight. guess i can just enjoy being a bum *for now* and watch all the japanese and chinese soaps (dorama) i can get my hands on! ^_^
I haven't watched X2... grabe, and it's sooo annoying na everyone's talking about it! hehe. Well, i have a week (or two) left... |
