I’m uberly psyched.
So ended my two and a half month long vacation from the Philippines. It started on May 23 to Aug 11. It’s really bad for me to say this but, I can barely remember a thing. You all know how bad my memory is.
I remember some things though:
1. Tagaytay Highlands: The not very well done Tribal Music Video, were we had to share one sarong and we ended up dancing Arashi and Young Man in the end. But it was a very well lived trip to tagaytay. We had croquettes de jamon and brought home some sweet pineapple.
2. Trying to catch Aurora and Erika during their lunch breaks and dismissals. What do we do? Eat. That was a pretty long Bugong fest. I’m sick of seeing Paseo Center and Books for Less. Apparently me and Erika’s promise to “exercise” ended after 3 once a week sessions.
3. I barely remember Erika’s birthday. (Don’t kill me.) Wait wait wait. I think I remember it. We were watching a really bad subbing of HanaKimi and I don’t know what we did afterwards. I know there was food and I had to go home because I had to go to tacurong in the morning.
4. Tacurong was… pretty awkward. I think it was hard for me to make the most out of it because I didn’t know what to talk to my lola about and everyone was speaking ilonggo. Ukay-Ukaying was a disappointment.
5. BAGUIO ---was a disappointment. I was completely expecting ukay-ukay galore but no~. I had to attend the crummy inauguration of Sitel. (No offense, Sitel. Your site is wonderful and all but I had no purpose, nor right to be there. But I was there anyway and emphasis on the “against my will” part.) However, in the aftermath of baguio, my tita brought me a wonderful and delicious bottle of Ube Jam.
6. Anego was a happy spontaneous buy I made. I’m completely considering Jin’s potentiality. However, I still think that Aurora is right about him. He’s a cheap wanna-be of MatsuJun’s ore-sama-ness. But that “oh, I wish!” for the younger man has become stronger nearing creepy oba-san fanoldlady-ness levels.
7. 168 is the SHITE, baby.
8. Ukay Ukay shopping with Joey! She is the gorgeous sexy yoda of ukay ukay shopping in Manila. What can I say? She’s gorgeous.
9. I’m tired of eating japanese food---- especially sashimi. My dad has made me sick of it. Amazingly.
10. I had Mediterranean/Indian/Persian CRAVINGS! Oh I love that shit. Me and Indian food should have a marriage. It makes me go like crazy. Not really. Not really crazy. Replace crazy for the word “diarrhea.”
11. My cuz Ash-wood is a fangirl of Battle Star Galactica. I’m so happy there’s another fangirl in the clan.
12. Erika should eat more. I’m just saying.
13. HAH! HAH!
HAH! I’m the
SMART ONE. I’m Sho!
In Erika’s desire for sentai, we, Erika, Aurora, Greta, Prit and I, have assigned ourselves colors and numbers. And just the other day in Prit’s house, we discovered that Arashi had assigned colors in their Taiwan Concert. Thus, I will list down the equivalents of the corresponding colors:
a. Aiba = Green =Prit = Tallest and Sickly-est
b. Ohno = Blue = Erika = Shortest and Best Voice
c. MatsuJun = Purple = Aurora = …HAHAHAHA.
d. Nino = Orange = Greta = Boyish(?) and “PJ hajimete? Ah! Gomen. Private Jetto hajimete?”
e. Sho = Red = Moi = The SMART ONE and the butchiest.
However there seems to be occasional arguments about our assigned jap boy. Like, Erika’s stupider than me. And Aurora claims to be not MatsuJun-ish.
Whatever. I just want to say that Greta always hangsout with Erika but Erika is married to Prit, and I’m no where near that equation and Aurora is busy taking ego shots.
AND in my defense, Aurora had a digital camera WAAAY before I did. AND her veteran skills at ego shot-ness is perfected by PRACTICE. And *I* haven’t even had enough practice to reach that level.
…
Anyway. For some reason, I’m currently addicted to Arashi. I think its because I’m out of addictions. And Jap people are way more fun than American people.
However, what I fear most is that when I’ll be bored in my dorm, I’ll slowly start getting addicted to erika’s d-boys. Its scary that she gave me 17 gigs worth of D boys. Eep!
Well, Arashi fangirl update: I have moved from liking Matsujun to Nino to Sho and now to Ohno. Why? I guess it was the double attack of Utaban and AAA 3rd disc. There was a section of the disc where Ohno did his solo and his dance was just so awesome I had to watch it 5 more times. (except for that one part of the song where he just moved his hips, and for some reason I thought it was wrong. In an “I’m a guy and I feel like a gigolo” sort of way.)
Utaban though, I’m completely at awe on how he always pisses the younger host off. And how he’s all chummy chummy with the older host. I only saw one Utaban that was subbed but I want to see more of it. =x I’ll look around on crunchy roll and youtube. WOOT.
That was a pretty long post. I feel so lazy. I’m trying to do my own definition of “cleaning up” at home.
I’ll take my leave now. Most likely I’ll post again at my first day when I find out hoe to get the blasted internet there running and hopefully I can download. EEP!
Itsutekimasu!

I had a nightmare where the FBI caught me for illegal downloading. And they were charging me 50usd for ever 1mb I downloaded.
And my 500gb external hard drive is almost full. and I saw a window where they were calculating how much its going to cost me. and I just saw the cost for my debt go higher and higher. and I felt my walls close in around me and I was panicy because I had so many things in that external hard drive that were perfectly legal and they were saying that since it was in the same folder, it's considered illegal.
and then I woke up-- to my cousin calling me on my cell phone. He's in conneticut and he was saying that the rain is shitty there. He's back packing his way here to south jersey and then, I said something but there was no reply. I looked at my cellphone and a few seconds later I was more conscious.
then I got confused if he really did call me or not. Because I'm surprised that he called my cellphone and not the house phone. @_@
I dont know whats going on anymore.
Espeically if I should go to work today or not. because I'm completely cramming a term paper and speech.
I'll die I tell you.
[SVA]I finally got their god forsaken acceptance packet the day after I said, "yes. I will attend pratt" to pratt.
well, SVA didnt offer me a scholarship. Their deposites are more expensive. Their application packet was not as impressive. and they want me to take a placement exam.
bullshit.
Pratt An update on pratt. Apparently, their computer graphic major is very hard to get into. I mean, they only have 25 people. I mean, that major is pretty selective.
And here I thought I got into pratt because not a lot of people wanted to apply to computer graphics and they had a lot of slots.
It was actally the opposite. I feel special and surprised.
I was talking to one of the students that seemed kinda cool in the sense that, they're nerds but in the not skinny and slightly hard core kind of way. They told me that the major isnt as good as they claim to be. The director has a preference for the more "fine arts" shit. (read: abstract).
So theres a problem with me and my decided major:
illustration or
traditional animation or
computer graphics. help?
Actually, I think pratt will be more like that. They want fine artsy things. SVA want the shock value type of things. I want... tetsuya nomura and shinichiro watanabe type of things.
This is going to be a weird 4 years. I was surrounded by high schoolers too.
My sister wasnt that impressed with pratt. she thought more people would dye their hair. she was expecting a sea of multi colored hair. There was this girl I kept on staring at. I think she noticed I kept on staring at her. But I was staring at her because her dye job was so fucking gorgeous. I love the way she did her bangs.
Apparently, it seems like I'll be spending the whole 4 years there instead of 3. It has been decided that:
1. I'll enjoy my college life with free time. and
2. I'm going to the philippines before I do start my fall semester.
anyone miss me yet?
