AT RANDOM
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love.
I’ll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away…
- KELLY CLARKSON, Breakaway
LSS ba ito?! Bahket?!

We gave Maui her 21st birthday gift. Guess kung ano! Haha! It was
a blouse with the slogan ‘MY SHITTY ATTITUDE IS NONE OF YOUR
F@CKING BUSINESS!’ Astig di ba? Bagay na bagay sa kanya. Sabi ko
nga, isuot n’ya yun sa kanyang ******* para mabasa ni…
Nagustuhan nila yung shirt so next time na magkikita kami nina
Kel, yan na ang suot naming lahat! Haha!
Anyway Kel, sa kalagayan mo ngayon sa iyong you-know-what,

Suggestion lang naman yan. Check out AmBlvd ha!

dito ko sasagutin. Wala lang. Ayoko kasing sagutin yung iba.)
YEAR GRADUATED: 1997 (elem) & 2001 (hs)
LEVEL&SECTION: IV-I
FAVORITE PART OF CKC: yung mga classrooms ng klase ko siyempre
tsaka yung covered court (kasi all the other extra-curricular
activities happen there)
FAVORITE TEACHER: Si Ma’am Obngayan (she believed in me), Ma’am
Mueda (she made me laugh) and Sir Casilla+ (he influenced me a
lot)
HATE MONG TEACHER: Ayokong magsabi ng pangalan pero this teacher
didn’t find me deserving of anything… ang baba ng tingin n’ya
sa akin… (Wala akong pakialam sa tingin niya actually pero hate
ko pa rin siya for so many reasons. Nung grumaduate ako ng
college, gusto ko tuloy ipamukha sa kanya lahat lahat ng… okay,
tama na coz she’s not even worth this space.)
PINAKAMATAAS NA SCORE: Syempre yung perfect!
LOWEST: Uh, may isang beses na 5 over 15 ako sa Trigo. Hindi ko

after.
For the other questions, I have to think about the answers first.

umayos ka ha! Sabi mo yahoo eh hindi ka naman nakalog-in. Weird

‘kanya’ kung hindi totoo yan!).

Akala ko nagpapaantok ako kaya ako nag-blog ngayon pero lalo na
akong hindi makatulog. Titigilan ko na nga muna ‘to.
LONG NIGHT
This will gonna be a long night…
Kahit, gusto kong sumigaw ng ‘mga pakshet silang lahat!’ right now, my Ms. Prim and Proper slash Ms. Discreet persona wouldn’t let me. Sobrang wa-poise yon and so, I again proceed in just laughing about things and treating them as ‘wala lang’. If I don’t, I’ll probably be depressed right now thinking of all those months sorta wasted. But no, that’s okay… circumstances will be better. I hope. (Besides, I’m not the depressed kind of girl. Si She-Who-Can’t-Be-Named lang ang may phsyco depression thingy. Whatever. As if we care!)
Time to move on.

Bakit nauso ang mga unlimited texting na yan?! Pati ang Globe at Smart! Ack! Okay… nagbebenefit naman ako dyan because of the quotes na ipinapadala sa akin (which I’m kindda collecting…). Take note, my inbox is divided into several folders now… As of press time (choz!), eto ang laman…
DYOKS (10 messages na puro kalokohan. Nakakatawa siya when you have really nothing to do or yung iba, pag first time mo nabasa, funny.)
Ex. TEACHER: Lahat tayo descendants ni Adam&Eve STUDENT: Ma’am, hindi yan totoo. Sabi ng tatay ko, descendants tayo ng unggoy. TEACHER: Boy, hindi natin pinag-uusapan pamilya mo!
PASAWAY (131 makukulet na quotes… tipong ang ganda ng simula and then yung ending… koneksyon?! Pambwisit lang kumbaga.)
Ex. Madaling sabihin na mahal mo ang isang tao kahit di naman totoo… simpleng I Love You tapos send ng quotes pero merong mahirap… ang kumain ng saging… na kasing laki nina B1 at B2.
MADAMDAMIN (106 serious quotes. Walang halong kalokohan. About love, friendship, and God… Basta yung touching and inspiring.)
Ex. Marami ng sweet messages ang nagkalat.. pero di ito isa sa mga iyon. Pangngamusta lang pwede pa o pagsasabing miss kita… Sa totoo lang, wala naman talagang special sa message na ito… yung nagbabasa lang!
Most of these quotes are courtesy of Mayer and Aimee kasi sila ang mga iilang Globe na katext ko. Thanks sa seemingly endless messages… na kahit madaling-araw eh dumarating! (Not that I’m really complaining…
Okay moving on, moving on…

Dami ng magbibirthday ng August! Whew! Tomorrow, it’s Maui’s turn. Happy Birthday girl! Wag mong masyadong isipin yang mga nuisances sa pali-paligid na imbes na nakakatulong eh nakakaperwisyo pa! Makakarma rin siya! Just wait and see.
Grace (na hindi na nagpaparamdam) and Donna (na nagpaparamdam na ngayon)… HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love you both!

The JRN2 yahoogroup is alive again… dahil nagpopost na naman ng messages si Jeff (buti na lang!). And Dyep, your ‘video presentation’ is astig. Teka, san mo naman napulot yung hayop na nasa ‘video’ mo?! Haha! Jaz jokin! Nakakamiss ang JRN2 noh?! Ang kulet, kulet, kulet!!!
10 Things I Miss Most About JRN2 (Hindi ako nostalgic, wala lang akong magawa… Heck, who am I kiddin’?!)
1. KULITAN (From the hirits at banats ng mga klasmeyts and profs. Uno tayo sa subject na yan eh. Dean’s lister sina Jeff, Abby, at Ivee. Hehe!)
2. GRAND ENTRANCE (ang discreet[?] pero pansin na pansin namang entra ni Sarj, yung pagpasok ni Jen na usually eh malaking sorpresa para sa lahat, yung mga late dyan na parang hindi sila late, yung ‘wala-akong-pakialam-sa-inyo’ at ‘mahangin ba sa labas?’ entrance ni Sasan at kung anu-ano pang drama sa likod ng mga grand entrance)
3. LINES TO REMEMBER (usually ng mga profs… tulad ng mga paborito nating ‘Tigilan ako! Masakit ang ulo ko, sexbomb, sexbomb, sexbomb!’, ‘Que es anime?’, at ‘Isuka mo nga yung hopia!’)
4. LABELS (yung mga nakakatawa at makukulet na labelling sa mga people like Bangag Queen, Goddess, Ms. Payatas at Ms. candaba… kelan ba nagseryoso ang klase?)
5. ANG WHO-CARES?! ATTITUDE (which makes us different from other sections. Kasi di ba, pagpasok mo sa JRN2, para kang mawawarp patungo sa ibang lugar. Matatanong na lang ng sinumang pumasok sa room natin kung nasa earth pa ba sila. Hehe. Silent but deadly. Astig!
6. BREAKS (Hay, tumaba ako sa maraming breaks na yan. Puro kasi kain, kain, kain. Pero sa dami ng mga kain na yan, hindi natin nakainan lahat ng kainan around UST.(Redundant?!) Isa pa, nawiwindang pa rin tayo kung saan kakain. Aminin! Ngayon, pumayat na raw ako. Paano, wala ng breaks! Aaw…)
7. PARTIES (Laging may kakaiba sa parties natin eh… especially Christmas parties. Laging may nangyayaring unusual. Yung una, pinagmulan ng away tapos yung huli, nagiiyakan tayo. Hay… pero
masaya lahat! Lalo na yung exchange gifts;)
8. ASSIGNMENTS&PROJECTS (Lumalabas kasi mga creative juices natin tuwing may ginagawa tayong project eh. Nagmumukhang FilmFest! Haha!)
9. LOVETEAMS (Oi, invitations namin sa kasal ha!
10. LAHAT, LAHAT, LAHAT. Kokopyahin ko si Jeff… MISS YOU ALL!

You travel with the wind carrying autumn leaves
And dropping them one by one along the way
You sit on the moon’s edge of its quarter shape
Watching lights turned off in the silent of the night
Praying for lost, tired souls
Whose necks are tied with vines of
Misery and failure and defeat
Stirring their last drop of hope to life
You’re the leaf, plucked from its branches
Shedding a tear with a mere, soft touch
You are earth and the world is alive with you.
-… ….. OF THE EARTH-
WAKE ME UP
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
Here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
As my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends
- Green Day, Wake Me Up When September Ends

This has nothing to do with the song…
I’m sorry if my blog posting and editing is flooding your email accounts with messages that ‘janelle updated her friendster blog’ whatsoever. It’s just that when you’re left with nothing to do, you do the most unthinkable thing. Yeah, pretty weird but it applies to me. Anyway, you can always change your friendster account settings to prevent the ‘friendster news’ coming.
CHILLIN’ OUT
"To be a friend is to be fun and fair. Serious and silly.
To make the mundane exciting. The unexpected acceptable.
To be the silent stronghold without being asked.
To feel happy for someone else’s happiness,
and to share the burden of sorrow in thought and in action.
To be a friend is to be strong enough to be learned on
when someone else cannot walk another step
and to look to that other person for your own tranquility
when the world has spun you out of control.
It is a lot of giving, a lot of taking, but most of all, A LOT OF SHARING."
- Laura V. Nicholson, THE DEPTH OF FRIENDSHIP ( Friends Are Forever, Blue Mountain Books)

My photo album department is undergoing a little improvement (maybe) or a little change. Just erasing and adding up a few photos. Whatever. So don’t mind it…
The past few days… a state of confusion. Don’t ask why. Just feels that way (or is it ‘as always’?).

Baguio City, July 28
I enjoyed my overnight trip to Baguio with my high school friends.
Donna was there to accompany me around SM (which by the way, I’ve already memorized)and some other places. Superb ang ambiance coz malamig (with matching foggy effect on the fourth floor). It’s been raining pero in fairness, lagi kaming pinagpapala ni Donna because everytime we go somewhere, the rain just stops. Nakikisama talaga sa’min. Thank God! I’ve walked Session Road many times. Pabalik-balik. So medyo sumakit paa ko don ha! But that’s okay. Exercise. Catherine, thanks for the food trip girl! Iba na talaga ang career woman. Haha! Florence and I walked and scanned through ukay-ukay items. Galing mo sa paghahanap girl. Thanks for letting me stay in your room and using your bed for the night. Sarap gumamit ng comforter. I’ll definitely be thinking in working and living there with you pipz! Just wait and see. Haha! Hoy Mitch (na ipinagpipilitang Cap daw ang itawag sa kanya… magtigil ka! haha!), next time, ako naman ang ilibre mo! Minsan na nga lang tayo magkita, winawala mo pa kami. Tsk. Tsk. Thanks for the company. Dianne, salamat sa iyong bahay. Haha! I’ll be seeing you all soon. ::wink,wink::

Le Coeur de France, Glorietta, August 6
I hope I got that spelling right this time. Mali kasi spelling ko sa text. Courtesy ni Candice at Anj. Hehe. Isa na namang get-together with the Vigan group. kasama naman si Paolo this time. Parehong naka-floral polo sina Candice at Paolo. Bakit kaya? Pero sino ang nakapink sa kanila? I’m sorry, hindi si Candice (dahil naka-autumn colors siya), si Paolo ang nakapink (and loving and flaunting it! Haha!) Masaya si Kel. Bakit kaya? Tumubo na ang hair n’ya? Dahil may dala siyang masarap na chocochip cookie? O baka naman simpleng inspired lang. Asus! Haha! Si Ivee ay naka-pink din. Bagay sa’yo sis! Sobra! Pareho kaming naka-white ni Anj. As always, same wave length tayo mare. ; ) Catching up… wala masyadong bago… except sa bago ang partner ni Paolo. (Yun lang ba?! Bago ba yon?! ; )

Kakapanood ko lang kanina ng CSI Miami new eps sa AXN and shit, namatay si Speed (Rory Cochrane)! Bwisit kasi I like him although medyo careless siya kung minsan pero siya na ang pinakalaid-back sa mga CSI pips. Kainis talaga! Bakit naman siya pa ang umalis?! Oh well…

So, gotta go.
