Janine's Blurty Entries [entries|friends|calendar] Janine Ako si Janine. Bwahaha. Everything_LJ Freelayouts Hindi naman talaga ako member ng mga communities na ito. Hahaha. Carebears rules poreber and eber. Ayoko sa yo. This layout made by teneraestnox for freelayouts. The Care Bears Movie II caps can be found at cap_it. [ userinfo | blurty userinfo ] [ calendar | blurty calendar ]

[ ] Wala akong magawa. Ginawa kong CareBears ang Blurty layout ko. Hindi naman ako ang gumawa. Hindi ko man lang inupload sa photobucket ko ang pictures. Photobucket ng gumawa ang ginamit ko. Hahaha. Linta. (Yun nga ba ang Tagalog ng "leech"?) Bukas na lang. Tinatamad pa ako. Ayaw ko naman baguhin ang LJ layout ko. Okey na ako sa S2. Walang kwentang post. Nasa LJ na ako. Matagal na akong lumipat. Sinabi ko na ba yun? 4 comments|Share * Edit * Memories

To the makers of "So...Happy Together" [ ] [ mood | discontent ] What the hell were you thinking, entering that thing in the Metro Manila Film Festival. It was terrible. I feel cheated. I want a refund. And you call that comedy. Sa mga nakapanood at nagustuhan ang film at na-offend. Opinyon ko lang naman. I just think that it lacked a real story. It was just like watching Kris and Eric making chika. Oh well. Hindi naman ako film critic. 1 comment|Share * Edit * Memories

On my boring Christmas break. And a survey to match. [ ] [ mood | bored ] [ music | The Dresden Dolls - Coin-Operated Boy ] It's a good thing that I borrowed Miggy's Smallville DVDs. Haaay, I knew that this Christmas/New Year break was going to be boring. So now, my sister and I are Michael Rosenbaum fans, and my little brother is now obsessed with the Smallville series - which is weird, since all he ever does is play videogames. Hehe. I don't get to watch TV kasi, with the exception of watching a Smallville rerun the other night on Studio 23. If ever I do get to watch (when I'm not on vacation, that is), I would be on a music channel or a cartoon channel (music and cartoons relax me). Sooo...ayun. I've been eating Christmas ham all day yesterday...breakfast, lunch, dinner! #1 Christmas gift yan sa dad ko (years ago, it used to be fruitcake). Without fail. #2, chocolates/candies (Hindi na naging considerate kay dad, nakita na ngang mataba eh...maybe they're thinking of the children?! :D). #3, wine (what's with all the food?!)! Which we never get to consume. If I recall correctly, I found 15 bottles, still sealed, in the attic. In the kitchen, 2 or 3 bottles. And this Christmas, I think my parents received 5 or more bottles. ( Makikigaya na nga rin ako. 40 things you probably don't know about me. ) Share * Edit * Memories

Damn it. [ ] [ mood | shitty ] Failed THES1. And I think it's unfair because: effort + time put into thesis = 4.0 (hahaha feeling) We were an experimental group. And it was HARD to meet because of our weird schedules. They only posted the rubric on course card day. They wouldn't show us the breakdown of our grades. They didn't show us what happened to our revised docu. And can I just share. Some of the professors were RUDE. Pissed me off even more. Plus, I have to adjust my schedule tomorrow. Hassle bumagsak! :( Marami pa akong hinanakit tungkol sa thesis pero wag na dito. Oh well, at least I passed COMORGA, which I really thought I was gonna fail. I actually got a raw score of 67.3% (70% passing) but thank God for making me charming giving me a merciful professor! Whoohoo. 30 minutes ko siya kinulit at nilambing and it paid off! :P But in fairness, I think I deserved to pass because I got 91% in the Final Exam and ang tiyaga ko magpa-consult. Ah shit talaga ang thesis shit shit shit Share * Edit * Memories

I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! [ ] [ mood | happy ] [ music | Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated ] For now, I don't care if I think I did badly on COMORGA finals. Or on THES1. For now. Because I really can't do anything about it. I worked my ass off, bahala na si Batman. I'm gonna enjoy the few days I have before course card distribution day. I'm almost sure that I'm gonna fail COMORGA and/or THES1, but I'll wait till Monday before I start panicking. I still have no idea what I'm gonna get for Carla's baby. Wala na akong pera, but I don't want to go without bringing anything! Ah well. Bahala na rin si Batman doon. Share * Edit * Memories

Kailangan ko na isaayos ang buhay ko. [ ] [ mood | working ] I really need to start organizing my life in all aspects - academics, social, personal...whatever. I'm just not as healthy (or as I used to call it, "invincible") as I used to be. Before I'd have 36 hours of no sleep and I'd still be hyper. But these days, even 8 hours of sleep isn't enough. The problem is, I'm not used to planning. Organizers I used to own went to waste, and instead of schedules, doodles and notes from my friends filled its pages. Past attempts to follow schedules were all in vain!!! (Ang drama.) I need order in my life! 1 comment|Share * Edit * Memories

Toooooooys!!! [ ] [ mood | giggly ] [ music | Jumbo Hotdog playing on some person's laptop sa Gox Lobby ] There's an ongoing donate-your-toys-to-poor-kids drive at school, and since they just couldn't leave the toys at Gox, our dorm room is presently the temporary tambakan for the furry things. I can't believe people are throwing these away! (Haha ang drama. Hover over the pictures for captions! :P) ( Kawawa naman kasi ang mga 56K. ) The toys are staying with us until December, when they will be sent off to the children. My roommates and I have decided that until then, we shall play with the toys and try to reclaim our lost innocence. Or in simpler terms, magpapaka-OT. See?! Share * Edit * Memories

Tapos na CCS Week :( [ ] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | South Border - I Miss You ] I know this is late, but I just want to thank everyone who said they loved our performance last Thursday (and Friday!) for PasiCATCHan. Awwww, you guys. I was really touched. Promise. My roommates (refineme and Ynna) even told me that they felt like crying when they were watching Aithne and me onstage. (They "felt" it! Hahahaha.) I won't say any more because everything about CCS Week is probably all over my friends' LJs already. Hahaha. Basta, everyone was awesome. Again, THANKS sobra. Nakakataba ng puso talaga. I LOVE YOU SONGERS!!! :D Congratulations to all the participants of PasiCATCHan and CCS Icon!!! (Especially the winners! Hehehe!) Panalo kayong lahat! Ang gagaling ninyo! A special mention of course goes to my friend kiranb, the reigning Munch Queen! I don't know how many munchkins and doughnuts she ate, but one of my friends who lost to her ate 17 munchkins and 7 doughnuts. Now that impressed me, but the thought of kiranb out-eating my friends was...wow. Kiran, you da mehn. BUT, the very best thing about CCS Week is that we got to watch South Border perform live! I don't even know how to describe the whole thing, and if I did, it wouldn't even come close to how the show actually went. Basta, it was a night of great music, a lot of dancing (Duncan!!! And the crowd of course), great music, energy and sweat, and did I mention GREAT MUSIC?!! Not to mention the sound system was pretty good too. The "sound guys" (for lack of knowledge of a better term hehe) of South Border were the ones who managed the sound system, and you could tell that it was really done by professionals. When we sang before South Border (not really "right before", we weren't an opening act or anything, though I wish we were, hahaha), our group didn't even need a sound check! :) Anyway, most of the songs they performed were upbeat ones, and during the slow songs (especially "I Miss You"), I really felt like hugging someone (no one in particular, I just wanted a hug. Hahaha.) kaya lang si Deric ang katabi ko. Pffffft. Waaaah, I really wanna perform with South Border one day! They're just sooo amazing. (Ok, I'm gonna stop already before I sound like a crazed South Border fanatic.) Afterwards we hung out at 7/11. Actually, we hung out at Oliver's condo unit (Yup, Unit 711). Hehehe. Panalo sa comedy (Aimee, from an overdose of munchkins and doughnuts) at drama (Er...Can't say anything. Not my place.)! Sa uulitin! :P BTW, I finally found the video for "Byahe Tayo"! *is happy* 8 comments|Share * Edit * Memories

And so I have finally joined the bandwagon. [ ] [ mood | amused ] My dad went out and bought Sun SIM cards for the whole family. Ayos. Share * Edit * Memories

Thesis nights [ ] [ mood | busy ] [ music | Boyz II Men - On Bended Knee ] Here at Lyn's house. teddygel and mei_mei (along with fmd00001) are working on their ANALGOR MP first and Lyn is taking a nap. :) blackmist is working on the design of the Halloween newsletter, and I am working on our thesis/blogging/drinking Pepsi/eating pizza (mostly drinking). Can't really concentrate because for some reason I feel senti. Haha. I actually miss the dorm! No, scratch that. I miss all the fun and excitement (huwaaaat) we used to have at the dorm (most of us are having midterms). Things to look forward to: Huling Hirit! Or at least the filming for our "Thriller Filler". We had our rehearsal last Thursday night at Leslie's house (it was my first time there). Actually, I don't think it can be even called a "house"! When Mela and I were making our way to Leslie's room, all I could think of was "wow...wow..." like I was some fricking promdi. Hahaha. CCS Icon Finals. I'm rooting for that C2T8 guy, and two of my other friends. Not saying who, because most of the finalists are my friends. :P PasiCATCHan. Actually, I'm more of anxious rather than excited. Because this time around, I really want our batch to win. I really really really do, but from what I've heard, the other batches are really good. *bites nails* Before, it was just all about having fun, but now I'm obsessed with winning. It's really weird. Maybe it's because it's my senior year?! Bedtime and breakfast. Tinatamad na ako. The day when we all get done with thesis! Aaaaargh may community service pa nga pala mamaya. :( Share * Edit * Memories

Screwed. [ ] [ mood | frustrated ] Patay. I can't remember anything about Visual Basic. I'm supposed to submit the screen shots later. Why oh why should VB be so complicated? So many functions, you don't know how to get to them. It's so much easier to design a layout in Photoshop. Damnit. I even borrowed Norvie's book but I don't understand it. Can't find decent tutorials on the Net. I can't make the tabstrips work. And why does it cover everything up kahit i-Send to Back ko siya? Waaah! Guess I'll have to settle for a really simple layout for now. Nasanay lang siguro ako sa mga online system. Mga VB nerds!!! Patuloooooong! Share * Edit * Memories

Lahat na lang, mali! [ ] I tell it like it is. No "hidden meanings". Sugar-coated, maybe, but no hidden meanings. I would never want to hurt anybody's feelings, so I try to be the nicest I can. I use the phrases, "No offense, but..." and "Wag ka magagalit pero..." often. Maybe a little too often. But nooooo...someone just has to be super sensitive and say that what I said was, "iba ang dating." And that I have to "watch what I say". Fuck that. I do watch what I say, or at least I try to. Hindi naman ako nangaaway eh. There wasn't even a problem to begin with. Kayo ang nagsisimula ng sarili niyong problema. What I said meant nothing, okay? Nothing. Most people I know describe me as "nice" (and probably as bland as that word). Bet they wouldn't believe me if I told them I'm regarded as a "rebel" at home. Share * Edit * Memories

Bangag, bangag, bangag... [ ] [ mood | sleepy ] Hahaha hindi na ako masyado nakakapag-post dito kasi dun na lang ako lagi sa dorm logbook nagsusulat. :P I'm sleepy! I want my Nescafe Frothe. Slept at 4 am after a long night of (free) videoke and drinks. (BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLAY! Kahit di mo ito mababasa. :P) Whoooo. And snippets of Exorcist and Sims 2. Muahaha. Bangag. 2 comments|Share * Edit * Memories

Umuulan na naman... [ ] [ mood | hungry ] I can't download updates for my Windows XP Professional, because apparently, Microsoft can detect pirated software. Tae. Why didn't I know about this? Now I have to reformat, AGAIN, and use my original XP Home, which I really don't like. What a hassle. And speaking of hassles, the school had a fire drill earlier today. I had just plugged in my laptop and connected the LAN cable and mouse, when suddenly all these security guards came rushing to the front entrance of the Gokongwei building. I just went on with my work, NR, until these guys who looked like they were from the Discipline Office shooed us away. Minamadali pa kami. I mean, come on, what do they want me to do - leave my laptop in the lobby? (I am a slave to my laptop. Harrrrr.) Back in high school, fire drills were announced. I totally get why it's not that way here (because, after all, we aren't warned beforehand about real fires), but...basta. Hassle lang talaga. Hehehe. Isa pang hassle! Ang lakas ng ulan ngayon! Meaning our dorm's flooded outside, and goodbye to my suede shoes. Yes, a perfect day for wearing SUEDE shoes. Tae, ang convenient. Today I was supposed to work on the screen designs for our thesis, and I just don't have any creativity uh...today. The main page sucks major ass. (In Sia's words, "Ano ba! Parang hindi ka taga-IST!") Waaaaah, how do I make this color scheme (which was specified by the "company") work? Because mehn...it's fugly. (Sorry, Lyn.) Gray = #999999 (background) Red = #FF0033 (text) Yellow = #FFCC00 (lighting or other effects for text) Anyway, change topic ulit. Hehehe. I miss eating real food. And by "real", I mean home-cooked food that Ate Choy used to make. It's really too bad that she's in Cebu already, and that she's staying there for good. And we've had her since I was two years old. I miss the way she cooks our chicken with pineapple!!! :( I'm hungry. Share * Edit * Memories

Pennsylvania, here I come!!! [ ] [ mood | thirsty ] Six-pound burger with everything on it! "Two whole tomatoes, a half-head of lettuce, 12 slices of American cheese, a full cup of peppers, two entire onions, plus, a river of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard." (http://www.snopes.com/photos/commercials/bigburger.asp) I'd like to eat at a place like Denny's Beer Barrel Pub someday, and win a prize while I'm at it. Just for fun. *** I've been using the word "tae" as part of everyday conversation ever since I was a toddler ("Mommy, tatae po ako!"), as I'm pretty sure most (Tagalog-speaking) Pinoys have. So why does MYX bleep it out? "Manliligaw daw niya ay talagang ang dami, nguni't nang siya'y nakita ko mukha siyang *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!*" - Parokya ni Edgar's rendition of "Humanap ka ng Pangit" mixed in with "Oka Tokat" 2 comments|Share * Edit * Memories

Eh? [ ] [ mood | blah ] I have to give props to whoever made the trailer for "13 Going On 30". He fooled me into thinking that it was a totally funny movie, but it left me staring at the screen and thinking, "That's it?!" I was ecstatic when I found out that we had the DVD, but to my disappointment the scenes were dragging, and the director put too much emphasis on Jenna's teenage behavior. My mom, on the other hand, loved it. Typical. Starting to think I'm becoming a full-blown cynic. "Love is a battlefield!" Hahaha. 1 comment|Share * Edit * Memories

They grow up so fast, don't they? [ ] [ mood | amused ] Pardon the sap. But tonight, Jay is at his first-ever soirée. Wow. My little baby brother, all grown up. *sniff* It seems like the time I pushed him off the top bunk so he'd be able to "fly like Superman" only happened yesterday (actually that was 13 years ago). Haha. Mehn. I remember all the crazy things we did to him, and all the crazy things he did - and as the two of us were in our parents' room this morning mulling over what he should wear (!), I thought, "He may not be much of a looker, but he's gonna be a heartbreaker." I'm serious. And I've never said this before in my life, but I'm actually proud of him. He may be five years younger than I am, but he has this maturity of someone uh...older than me. He's almost everything I'm not - super smart, popular (Hmph. That bit I don't really care about but anyway), funny, charming...(I can hardly believe I'm saying this) [I don't know what compelled me to write this entry and I hope that someday, I won't regret making this post.] *** Katawanan Moment of the Day I've been to different official celebrity sites this afternoon (Ibang lebel talaga itong boredom ko) and one of them had this in their index page: "[insert celebrity's name here] has a new FAVORITE COLOR!!! Check out his FAQ page!" Bwahahahaha. *** Geek Mode Wouldn't it be nice if there was one ultimate journalling site that had these features: "Friending" of people from other journalling sites Categorizing posts by topic (in Update Journal page) so they'd be easier to find (the Memories and Calendar features just aren't enough for me) Posting by SMS and E-mail That's all I can think of for now. I don't know what to do with my other blogs. Hehehe. 1 comment|Share * Edit * Memories

Addressed to people who will never get to read this [ ] [ mood | drained ] [ music | Mya - Whatever Bitch ] Someone (or some people, or something, I really don't know) has been responsible for our family's missing clothes and I don't know how they do it. As much as I want to find out who or what is behind this, I really don't want to put the blame on anyone...I'm not that kind of person. My grandmother, ever the finger-pointer, has told us to be wary of two people, our lavandera and our plantsadora. Now, those two people have been our neighbours for ages, and we grew up playing with their kids. They even bring food over sometimes and help with the other chores, and we treat them like family (Hell, almost the whole neighborhood's practically family). So you can probably understand why it's hard for us to be suspicious of them. The missing clothes consisted of pants, shorts, (ok, almost everything) even underwear. Gross! Just the thought of other people wearing our panties is really disturbing. I'm starting to look into the possibility (but I'm not pointing fingers) that the residents of the house to our right are the thieves because they can totally reach our clothesline. And that they're the annoying kind of noisy, and they get scary when they're drunk and angry - to the point of hurling beer bottles at each other. But I know that I shouldn't base my judgements on that. Plus, I'm drifting. :D Anyway, it would be disappointing if either our lavandera or plantsadora is responsible (which I hope they're not). What just makes me want to cry (and I have) is that some people take our family's kindness for granted. Some of our relatives and our old "hired help" come to us for loans, and my parents give them money without expecting them to pay us back. (NOTE: We are not rich, we don't throw money away just like that, but we feel it's our Christian duty to help family out since we are relatively "comfortable".) Like I said before, we treat our neighbors like friends/family. And even though it sounded like I couldn't care less about what some of my neighbors thought of me (see friends-only post) - fine, I admit it - it broke my heart I was hurt. Wala lang. I've been thinking about this already for a long time, that sometimes I feel like my parents are being used. They're working themselves sick not only for this family, but for other relatives who can't rely on immediate family. It's sick. We have lolas coming to us who complain of sons who do nothing but drink. I don't know, maybe I'm just blowing this whole missing-clothes-thing out of proportion. Basta the whole point of this post is that abuso lang talaga ang ibang tao. Yun lang. Share * Edit * Memories

It's almost over. [ ] [ mood | hungry ] [ music | the rumbling in my poor tummy ] Five, count 'em, five working days left, and our internship will finally be over. Then we'll be working on our thesis. I don't know what's worse. Can I just say, that like Lynn, OJT has made me realize that I definitely do not want to be in a Computer Science-related job for the rest of my life. Back in school, it was different...I don't know...more fulfilling?! I can program. I can use Photoshop and Flash. And let's say I find a good job, but so what?! So what. What's the fulfillment in that, will somebody please tell me. *** I got myself a G-Blog, oh boy. There's nothing much in there...that is my bored-and-stuck-in-traffic journal. Since I'm only a free LJ user and I don't get post-by-email features like some people, I created this. Nifty. Anyway I have to go sleep now. Night everyone. P.S. Sore throats are a bitch.

[ ] [ mood | sleepy ] Wheeee!!! The building where I work is having a sale on original CDs and cassettes from August 12 until September 1st (excluding August 19 - 25, that is)! CDs are going for P100 (!) and cassettes...are not my thing. Hahaha. I wonder why they're so cheap. Maybe they've been used? *** My friend RJ is telling me that I should go audition for RoadRunnerInc (a post-production company) because they're looking for voice talents to do radio commercials. Part of me wants to try out, but I'm holding back because as some of you know, I do bad at auditions. As in really bad. I am considering it, but I honestly think that I'm not ready for something like that, even if it's "only" radio. I asked my parents for their thoughts and my mom was like, "Wag muna! Baka nangre-recruit lang yan ng prostitute!" Um...heller. I mean, come on Mom, I did my homework. So. To audition, or not to audition. I'd like someone to go audition with me, if ever. And someone to hold my hand because I'm such a wuss. Hahaha. Share * Edit * Memories
