I REMEMBER THE DAYS...

a list of "evil" things i did back then.. (so far, mao ra ni ako naremember.. )

kindergarten:

1. a dog bit my ass and my sister and a neighbor witnessed the incident. i was afraid that my mom would know about it so i told them not to tell my parents and keep it a secret between the 3 of us nlng.. after one week, our neighbor told my mother and she scolded me.

2. i tried cutting classes back in K-1 just to watch morning cartoon shows. i sneak out through a window near the girl's Cr and watch tv at my aunt's friend's house . it happened a couple of times, and my mom had no idea about it.. until now!

3. i influenced some of my clasm8s to cut class with me. there was a time, a trio of boys joined me and we ate fishballs infront of the school.

4. i secretly put a bubblegum on my friend's head while we were watching tv. it was too late when he learned about it because the gum hardened already. i was so scared since the gum got tangled with his hair. i had to ask help from my ate and we poured lots of water and oil just to remove it.

5. we were playing "luto-luto" with my friends using our neighbor's vietnam rose flower. i ate the petals because i thought it was sweet. realized it was awful, so i spat them out..

6. i organized a prank among my playmates against our neighbor. we placed broomsticks inside his car.. ( murag sa door to dapit.. lols!)

7. i called one of my playmate, "bayot", and he went home crying. he didn't talk to me for days.

8.mactan airbase used to have a garden beside PhilSCA. we stole some of their healthy veggies and brought them home. that night, our helper cooked the veggies for supper!

9. i tried locking my brother inside a glass cabinet. the glass broke and he was wounded..

10. i enjoyed teasing and fighting our neighbor who was 3 years younger than me.. i pinched her arm once and she went home crying. (nilagom jud)

11. when my ate was in first year high school, she had a very cute boyfriend. she'd tell me all about him and let me read his love letters. unfortunately, we had a huge fight. and in order to get revenge, i told my mom about her "secret lover".. they had to limit their meetings after that.

12. i hated afternoon naps, and enjoyed pretending to be asleep.. lols

grade school:

1.grade2: i often argue with my math teacher/adviser because i kept comparing her teaching strategies with my grade 1 class adviser.

2. i often ask a piece of my classmates' snacks. and if they refused to give me, i'd tell them, " i will not friend you na!!"..

3. i used to open some of my classmates' bags when they're not around, and played with their toys without asking permission

4. grade 4: when mark, gia and i decided to end the life of our "LIST OF NEW FUNNY WORDS"
diary, we threw it at the back of our school bldg. after the two went inside our classroom, i looked for it andi hid the diary for almost a year...

5. nadine and me were enemies back in 2nd grade.. hahaha.. peace nads!

6. grade 4: gia and me were sent to the principal's office because we made a hand sign (ala-korean "\/" sign) during our formal class picture. we had to redo the class shoot bec. of that.

7. grade 5: i was sent again to the principal's office together with 4 classmates (aljo, nath, joven, daryll) because we made our classmate cry, right after our GMRC/ CL class.

8. grade 4: our MAPEH teacher scolded me because i laughed while she was scolding the whole class.. . twas my seatmate's fault, who whispered something really funny.

9. grade 3: we played "Spirit of the coin".. and called the spirit of JOSE RIZAL.

10. grade 6: every after NEAT review (it ends at around 6:30pm), me and my classmates would often play "TXT", and ghost hunt.
one night, the lights of the grade school bldg were all turned off so. we sneaked inside our classroom, turned the lights on and made noises. the school guard suddenly barged in and said," anong ginagawa niyo? mga bata pa kayo, ganyan na ginagawa ninyo!" (we didnt understand what he said.. pero fil namu malisyoso au iya huna2x.. he thought siguro, we're doing some "milagro" inside the room.. lols!

11 we often bully antje, a half-german, half-shep... filipino classmate.. "tell you to my mom!!"
(sorry antje!)

12. i had this scary mermaid doll back in grade 3 (dark-skinned and uber curly black hair), and used it once to surprise my tita. my evil plan worked!
mwuahaahaha

BLOOD + personal review


May 28, '09 4:39 PM
NAN KURU NAI SA




pretty awesome cake!

i sooo love the ending and how everything turned out well. hope a second season comes out! it would be great to see Diva's beautiful kids all grown up, Hagi all well again, Kai and the others with wrinkles, Julia's cute kid, Mao and Okamura (it's obvious they'll end up together!), and LuLu! ^_^

the ending was quite a tearjerker. the scene where kai gave saya a piggyback ride to the"place where it all started" reminds me of Endless Love:Autumn in my Heart. Saya might be immortal, but being asleep for 30 years is just like being dead!! by the time she wakes up, everyone is old!..

im glad Hagi's still alive, at least, someone's going to be there for her and the next generation chiroptera queens when Kai and their friends age.

this anime is packed not only with action but also with life's greatest lessons.
"LIVE FOR TODAY. LOOK FORWARD TO TOMORROW. AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE.."

each character's determination to live and enjoy a normal life is very inspiring. the anime taught us to value the presence of each being, especially those close to our hearts. and even if we lose important people in our lives, they won't totally abandon us because they'll continue to live in our memories forever.

however, i was a bit dissapointed with regards to the fight scenes. i wasn't satisfied.. i needed more blood curdling fights. and how Diva died was unexpected.. she was really strong! but, her life ended because of one important information she overlooked.

this series needs a second season.. Nathan, Diva's chevalier still exist. maybe he has future plans of using Diva's children for his own selfish intentions.. oh well.. whatever happens, Saya and Haji will be there to protect the girls, and the entire world.

Blood: the Last Vampire.. YOU'RE NEXT!

(i'll miss you Solomon.. ^_^)

Que Sera Sera

October 29, 2009

last September, my ever dearest cousin left the country to seek greener pastures abroad. Since she is a Nursing Graduate, she decided to "intrude" United Kingdom.. hahaha!
this morning, her pictures on facebook surprised me!...


here she is!!

i thought she would sulk herself to death due to homesickness and boredom, just like what other Filipinos working overseas often say.. but what the hell?!.. she's blooming and gorgeous.. i think she's enjoying her stay there!

and LOOK! the boots! the boots!!..

gosh! i love those boots. i sooo want to own one! sad to say, i'd definitely look like a lost baby Sasquatch if i'd wear it here. hahahaha!

i do have a pair of boots which i bought for 10 bucks only! but i never get to wear them yet.
with this tropical weather, i dont think it's necessary so im reserving them for future use..teehee!

hmm!.. i wonder where on UK this is..

aww! and she's using the pink scarf i gave her.. *blushes*
(the scarf was my keepsake for her since i wasn't able to send her off on the day of her flight. pink is her favorite color by the way.)


a week ago, i had a chat with my aunt who lives in Abu Dhabi. everyone is expecting me to graduate this coming March 2010, so she asked me about my plans after graduation.

and i was like, "Uh-OH! i smell trouble!..."
i still don't know what to do and where to go to right after college.. dang!!
and it really scares me everytime the thought of graduation crosses my mind.
im still not ready to graduate. being in school for about 16 years, i have already acquired the necessary knowledge that one must learn in life. however, im still not satisfied.
my skills and experiences aren't enough to help me land a good job.
i still want to learn more...

secondly, i have a super wide interest and hobbies. i want to do this and that!
i cant seem to focus myself on one thing. for instance, i love advertising, but i also love animation and film making! i want to work in an advertising industry, but i also want to direct movies or write scripts!
im still confused!.. gaaaah!!!

this reminds me of the popular children song, "Que Sera Sera".
the song says we don't hold the future, so whatever will be, will be!
but, i just cant allow the future to dictate what i would become.
i want to plan my life ahead. thing is, i dont know where to start. hehehe! ^^;

anyways, that's the dilemma im in right now. as March approaches, im getting nervous and crazy! hahaha.. oh noes~!

hmmm.. wonder if i could follow my cousin there?!.. i'd get to wear fashionable clothing, boots and coats.. I'd get to feel the freezing autumn and winter! and take beautiful shots of UK!
but, i also want to go to Dubai. my professor said our course is needed there. we'll earn big bucks! however, it's too hot there, and the culture and religion is way different from ours. i might have a hard time dealing with middle eastern people.. :D

gaaaah! i dont know...
maybe, the best thing to do for now is.....
WORK ON MY THESIS!!!!!!....

WTF: What the Facebook!

howdy! karen here.. this is my first blog entry here at blogger.com. i've been blogging random stuffs about 3 years ago but unfortunately stopped the habit since i signed up on Facebook.. nyahahaaha! Facebook is really evil.. for me, it's the evilest thing ever created by mankind..lol! of course, it made me forgot my passion for blogging, writing and sketching. i learned to procrastinate school work. i pass mediocre plates since most of my time are spent being online at FB.. hahaha! and lastly, i honestly gained weight from sitting hours and hours in front of the pc! bwahahaha.. despite its negative effects on my lifestyle, i still love it.. FB reconnects me with my unknown relatives from far-flung regions of the country. i even got the chance to know a cousin whom i've never met in my entire life, and is living thousands of miles away!.. (he's in the US, im from the Philippines, FYI! :D) i get to keep in touch with my current classmates and friends. we often discuss school works and plan out leisure activities over at FB. aside from that, i also have my friends and classmates from gradeschool and high school there. so it's like everyday is a reunion for all of us! im sure you guys get what i mean! you're experiencing the same thing too right!? hahaha.. right now, im sooooo into NINJA SAGA. although it's all made of Flash, the concept of the game is cool. Role-playing game is love! <3 however, my ninja needs to eat more onigiri. NOOBIE desu~! hope i dont get bored of this game like what happened to my Resto City.. hahaha! and hopefully the creator of the game updates it every now and then with lotsa good stuff, to keep our ninja fire burnin'!... OHHHH YEAAAAAH! ... :D :D :D
