Last day of June!
And might I add – it hasn’t been a very nice end of the month for me.
I’m sick and I so totally do not dig being sick during the holidays.
I remember when I got sick last year when I was in Canada.
It was because I was wandering around the streets of Niagara Falls until 2 in the morning being constantly showered by the mists of the Falls – I tell you, not a good idea to do. I got the worst cold the next morning and to make it worse, I went swimming at my cousin’s house which was dead cold. Actually, I wouldn’t have gone swimming if only my cousins hadn’t made me jealous of watching them having fun and I sat at the side being miserable when I’m supposed to be enjoying my holiday. Have you even had the feeling that you coughed so hard that you feel you’re going to cough out your tonsils sooner or later? Yeap – that was back in good ol’ Canada... Such fond memories. I’m trying to recover a document from my laptop about the outlines I did last Summer – maybe by reading and posting them on my blog I’ll actually enjoy this summer by the memories of last year.
Anyway, what did I do today? Well earlier on I was watching a flick titled ‘Just Like Heaven.’ I remember the first time I watched this with my aunts and cousin while my mom and my grandma were having a snore competition right beside us. We were all sleeping in my Uncle’s living room – well the only reason for that was because my uncle just moved in and the house wasn’t really furnished yet... Anyway, I remember how we got to watching the flick, while we were all having dinner we watched Employee of the Month followed on by Into the Blue. Then I remember watching Jus Like Heaven around 3 in the morning with my aunt and cousin until 6 in the morning when we actually went to bed. It was hilarious because when we were just about to go to bed, my uncle came down about to go to work or something. I remember only sleeping until about 9 the same morning and only managed to catch some snooze on the drive back to Hamilton from Toronto – such fond memories. Anyway, no matter how many times I watch Just Like Heaven, I would ALWAYS cry like a baby during the part where David kisses Elizabeth which brought her back to life...
Yesterday night, as stated in my previous post, I went to Jerudong Park to watch my sister’s Ballet performance. I must say that I have never been so enthusiastic about Ballet until I saw my sister’s teacher’s daughter, Korina, dance so beautifully. And I remember my mom saying to me that night – “If I hadn’t stopped you from doing ballet, maybe you would’ve been like her now...” I too felt the same way, gosh – I should’ve taken Ballet instead of violin. I remember my mom making me choose between the two last time for she hadn’t enough money to pay for both. Oh well, now I’m just counting on my sister to be as graceful as Korina, all it takes it patience and perseverance.
I know it’s nothing to get excited about seeing as I’m not going to be anywhere near them but...

Sunday 29th June 2008,
As I recall – today (or more or less, tonight) I am supposed to be confined at the hospital for two nights before my surgery. Those of you who are really close to me would know the surgery would be for. Anyway, yes it’s true I am ‘supposed’ to be going to the hospital tonight, but I’m not. My Dad decided not to do the surgery here in Brunei – no offence to anyone, but my Dad doesn’t trust the doctors here. So I’ll be getting my surgery when my family and I finally get to migrate in Canada. We’ll be heading off to the Philippines in December and that’s when my Mom’s relative will give me a check-up. The public dentists here in Brunei are no good either – imagine waiting in line for almost 3 hours to go in and have the dentist say “there’s nothing wrong here.” Like what the fuck much? I’m in line for surgery and that’s all they can say? I mean I had to go all the way to Canada to have my Aunt (who is a dentist by the way) say that my 2nd and wisdom molars are impacted on both sides of my lower jaw! Seriously – Brunei may be a nice place to live in, after all there’s no tax and no sign of inflation on gas prices – I mean it’s been 53.0 per litre ever since my Mom came to Brunei in 1984. However, public services suck here – and if you want better services, you have to pay a hell load more to go private, no kidding.
Anyway, tonight I’ll be heading off to Jerudong Park – I know what you guys are thinking – ‘Jerudong Park, what the heck?’ LOL, my sister has a ballet performance tonight at Jerudong Park and we’re going to have dinner there too. I guess this could account for an adventurous summer vacation? Heck no!
I seriously need adventure in my vacation...
If nothing grand like mountain climbing or water sports then at least something with a little excitement or something to get excited about...

I ♥ DOGS! (●̮̮̃•̃)
Meet Butter from Vancouver
My mom and I were touring Cleveland Dam when I saw this lady walk past with this Dog, she was so cute that I just had to take a picture with Butter - such a cute name!
Meet
Gideon from Singapore
A really playful lil' fella he is - belongs to my Aunt.
Meet
Simba from Hamilton, Ontario
My cousin's Pomeranian - ain't he the cutest with his fluffy brown fur? He's scared of this ladybug toy that Ate Myrabel and I use to bully Simba back in Canada, hehehe.
And last but not least, meet
Tiger again from Hamilton, Ontario
Again my cousin's dog - he likes to slobber all over people's feet :S

Friday 27th June 2008: What a day today!
First of all, I didn’t quite get up THAT early – we were supposed to go to the beach this morning but then I realised that I was actually going to go to school today and that by going to the beach, things would get too hectic. There are several reasons as to why I wanted to go to school today –
a) drop off/pay Tembourong trip for August,
b) buy yearbook,
c) get teacher’s signatures for the leaving sheet thingy, and finally
d) watch final assembly!
Wow – the school is so totally empty without the Year 11’s and Year 13’s. Elvis Holmes closed the assembly with words of wisdom from Mr. Canterford – “Have a good holiday” I’m for sure not going to have a ‘good’ holiday...
After going to school, we headed straight to Sushi Tei with Shey for lunch where we got very, very full! After that, I parted with my family to join Shey for a movie at the Mall. We watched ‘Get Smart’ – funny, but seriously, Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway do not make a good couple. And why did Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson have to die in the flick? Damn it! Overall it was a great movie – sorry to those if I’ve ‘spoilt’ it in a way.
Window shopping and now at home in front of the computer...

‘Silly Lily’ by Bunkface is currently playing on Hitz.tv – I must say that for a Malaysian band (correct me if I’m wrong), they have a nice beat to the song, though I find the music video totally weird. Anyway, back to reality – last night was family game night (that’s just what I call it) and we played Monopoly. My little sister Alyssa was the first to get bankrupt, and sadly I followed on while my Mom won.
Woke up early this morning – heck the earliest since summer vacation started and tomorrow will be even earlier. I won’t tell you why, just watch out for tomorrow’s blog entry. We went out to Gadong for some Hong Kong Dim Sum at Food Zone and headed to Supa Save before going home to buy some of my favourite Dole Golden Pineapple – simply juicy and delicious. It is at Supa Save where my Mom spotted DJ Izan and had us approach her. She looked awfully pissed and so I was frightened to even appoarch her. She shook our hands thinking that that’s what we wanted from her. Note to self – never approach a celebrity (Izan’s not even a celeb) when they’re doing their shopping – unless of course the celebrity is David Archuleta♥ or Johnny Depp! Now we can make them an exception along with others as well...
Speaking of David Archuleta♥...

Wednesday Morning,
Woke up an hour early than usually scheduled but it's alright.
I got back with my jump rope with less chest pain today -
WHAT A RELIEF!
After that had my morning glass of cool, refreshing milk and took a shower.
Went to the doctor's after that for a medical checkup for the Outward Bound thing which require medical consent. After that lunch at Jollibee and circled around Delimma for a Sketch Book. This Summer I'm going to practise a bit on my drawing skills - gonna start first in polishing my textures...

Oh my gosh! David Archuleta♥ wears a pimped-out hat at the Hollywood Premiere of the Pixar movie Wall-E. I'm so going to watch this flick (of course when it's out here in Brunei which is still to come this July hopefully). ps: I'm also going to get a hat like David's XD. It looks awesomely sexy on him!
Rawr!~"Tomorrow I have some other music stuff for the album and then I'm going to the Wall-E movie premiere. I know I'm pretty immature, but Pixar movies are my favorite. They're just really clever and I love being a kid lol. I can't wait to see it. So tomorrow should be another fun day." - - - via David Archuleta's MySpace blog.

Are you willing to lose the LOVE for the FRIENDSHIP?
Or are you willing to lose the FRIENDSHIP for LOVE?
John and Bea have been long friends ever since the day Bea saved John’s life where he slipped off some rocks by the river. For long they’ve stuck together as best friends forever; from childhood memories until the present day. After all these years, John never had the courage to tell Bea how much he loves her.
Bea was your chubby-like girl during childhood and was teased by many boys among her classmates. But there was one who cared for her, and that one was Sam. Sam defended Bea and gave her a ‘dog tag’ and said; “this is a sign of our friendship, and no matter where we are those boys who teased you will never harm you for this tag will remind them of me…”
Twelve years later, Sam is now a Famous Singer touring the world while John and Bea keep their friendship going. Bea always remembered Sam for he was in the channels, but does Sam remember Bea? Bea is in love with Sam; but does Sam feel the same way?
One day in Bea’s flower shop and Sam on the television, Bea hears that he’d be touring the Philippines. With Bea’s excitement, she is intent on seeing him again. She brings along John around the Philippines and abroad. The tired Bea was about to give up, after following Sam around and never had the chance of meeting him in person again. She is then told by John that Sam was just behind her, giving a little girl his autograph. Excited, she ran over to Sam saying; “SAM, SAM! IT’S ME!” Sam looks at Bea, gives a smile and wave, and then walks away. Neglected, Bea chases after him causing her to fall.
Sam aids her as he says; “Are you alright?”
Bea; “Sam it’s me don’t you remember?” Sam confused. Bea holds up the ‘dog tag’ that was given to her by him in those childhood times. Sam still confused. Bea then shows her smirking and chubby face.
Sam remembers; “Oh my God! Bea is that you?”
Sam and Bea express how much they love each other, Sam; “This is the church of where my parents got married, and hopefully this is where I’d like to get married.”
Bea; “Oh really? Who’s the bride?”
Sam; “I was hoping that you could be my bride…”
On the other hand, John now has to decide – will he let his best friend be happy with her Prince Charming, or will he fight for the love that has kept him alive all these years?
Sam knew that he was up for a competition to win Bea’s heart over John’s, and he did everything he could. But the one thing Sam couldn’t do was make Bea laugh the way John always made her laugh. For this he always doubts Bea’s happiness. Bea has to then lie about it for she was truly in love with Sam. Or is she?
One night, Bea sits by herself crying. John appears and talks to her. Bea; “Its made me realise how much I’ve missed you these past few days.”
John; “I never had the guts to tell you this, but…I love you Bea.”
Bea; “You do?”
John; “But you know, don’t worry about it, you’ve got Sam, and you two make a perfect couple.”
John returns to the Philippines heartbroken, unable to sustain the pain going through his heart; meanwhile Bea with Sam. Few months later, Bea returns back to the Philippines ready to take on her new project, flower designing. She meets up with an old Lady who hires her to decorate her house. Or is she? She also invites John over to do the photography. But is that the reason? John told this Lady how much she loves Bea and how he had lost the battle for Bea’s heart over Sam. The Lady intends to bring John and Bea closer to each other. Bea then finds out she was being set up.
John and Bea then had a dispute. Bea; “Why? Why didn’t you tell me that you loved me before? And yet you had to tell someone else to tell me to love you?”
John; “Malay mo, ano ba sasabihin mo kung sinabi ko mahal kita?”
Bea; “Di sasabihin ko mahal din kita!” Out of anger Bea runs off while those words of Bea are hammered to his head.
Bea cries, and her sister is there to comfort her, telling her she has to make a decision to choose between “the man of her dreams (Sam) or the man who has been through so much with her (John).”
Months passed, and Bea was invited to tour Singapore along with Sam. Devastated, Bea told Sam the truth. Sam leans over to kiss Bea goodnight on the lip, after a romantic candlelight dinner. Bea rejects it and puts on a sad face.
Sam; “Do you love me?”
Bea; “I have always loved you, but…”
Sam; “Please, I want a yes or no answer, I deserve it.”
Bea; “I tried to love you, but it’s made me realise, that I’ve missed John so much, and I love him too.” The sad and angry Sam left, leaving Bea alone in tears.
The next day, Bea meets up with Sam. Bea; “I’ve been looking for you, your band member said that I might find you here. I know how hard it feels, but you deserve to know the truth.”
Sam; “Don’t worry about it; I knew I was up for competition between John. It hurts really to know that the girl I’ve only loved is dumping me. But I guess I just have to accept the fact that I’ll never love another as much as I have loved you. Goodbye Bea.” Sam gives Bea a hug, and walks away.
Bea returns to John and she tells John how much she loves him too.
Bea chose to lose the LOVE for the FRIENDSHIP.
HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY KYRENE!

Saturday June 21st 2008
Well, so far nothing interesting happened. I was back on the jump rope today with 529 jumps within a fifteen minute period and I must say, I don’t think I’ll be able to hit my target of 1000 jumps by the end of the week.
I forgot to mention this yesterday but, good luck in India Abhishek! Sorry I couldn’t come to send you off yesterday – like I mentioned, I had a bad night the night before. Just remember to keep in touch and visit us when you can!
I was able to finish the last Volume of Walang Kapalit last night and I must say that it’s a really good series though I thought the ending could’ve been a bit happier, possibly ending with Miguel and Vanessa’s wedding to bring back all the characters together...
Walang Kapalit
Volume 8
Years lapse into painful memories as Noel and Melanie fight to make their marriage work with only the prison as their venue to get together. Justice finally comes sweet though late – Melanie is vindicated but Cynthia had raised Noel and Melanie’s son, Ernest, as her own.
What is supposed to be a joyous homecoming for Melanie actually ignites new conflicts. Their son recognises Cynthia as his mother and refuses to warm up to his real parents. Cynthia, on the other hand, is not willing to enlighten Ernest unless Noel gives in to her whims.
Will love suffice and pace the way for forgiveness and finally bring peace in the lives of Noel and Melanie? Their hope lies on Cynthia whose sanity is hanging by a thread.

With the soap opera out of the way now – I’ve decided to lessen my time spent online and in front of the TV to somehow ‘prepare’ for IB which means, practising my French more often, doing some art stuff and researching into EE in Art. Yes I know – a little too early to start? I just want to make use of my summer. Oh yes – and I need to exercise more, I’ve been getting chest pains ever since holiday started.

Friday and boy what a day I had yesterday. It goes like this...
Yesterday as usual, I was watching Volume 7 Walang Kapalit and about an hour of Volume 8. When 11PM finally came, I was feeling a bit drowsy and decided to go to sleep. My sister and I headed up the stairs when we heard some pots banging in the kitchen as if someone had moved them. Of course, my sister and I were scared for we know that Mom and my other sister were already upstairs and there’s no one else but us four. Frightened, we ran up the stairs and go ready for bed. Moments later the power went off and I started to panic – all sorts of things were going on in my head; the neighbours had power; I was just us. I started to think that maybe someone broke into our house since my sister and I heard noises in the kitchen. I was seriously so scared – I imagined that this would be such a tragic end for all of us. But then, all the panicking came to nowhere – my mom forgot to buy electric, so we were cut off. We spent the night being hot and feasted on by blood-sucking mosquitoes – I couldn’t sleep at all. Finally 2AM came and I was fast asleep. Woke up at 9AM the same morning and we headed of straight to Bandar. No jump rope this morning – I was too sleepy. And what a night I had – thinking that I was actually going to die with my paranoia. I seriously have to stop watching soap operas - I think that's where I'm getting all my over-the-top scenarios from...
Walang Kapalit
Volume 7
Honeymoon for newlyweds Noel and Melanie comes to a painfully abrupt conclusion as Melanie turns from blissful bride and expectant mother to a convicted murderer.
Though hope may seem a remote possibility with Melanie behind bars for good, Noel and Melanie hold on to their intense love and to the promise of a new life through the child inside Melanie’s womb. Meanwhile, Ronald’s real killer, Cynthia, runs free but is discontent with the agony she has brought upon the couple. In her frustration to have a child of her own, the nefarious Cynthia plots the unthinkable.

I’m almost there! One more volume and it’s over... My pillow is totally soaked with tears.

Thursday and as usual I had a hit with the jump rope this morning.
I must say, I wasn’t really in an active mood in the morning so I didn’t improve the number of jumps I could’ve possibly done – 534 jumps; more than a hundred less than yesterday. After that my mom took us out to have brunch at Gadong for some Hong Kong Dim Sum – YUMMY!
Okay, so I’ve finished Volume 6 of Walang Kapalit about half an hour ago and have just started watching Volume 7 – I’m nearly there! I’m going to be so upset when I finish watching it, no more telenovelas! Oh well, I’m going to repeat some of the older ones just to kill time when I’m at home. I’m not going to be such an addict; after all, I’ve watched the other already. So here’s the Volume 6 review:
Walang Kapalit
Volume 6
After the pandemonium, Noel and Melanie spend time away in separate countries to begin healing and enjoying their liberation from miserable marriages. Fate, however, leads them back to each other and they seal their incessant love with martial vows.
Finally married to their true love, it is the supposed start of happily ever after for Noel and Melanie. But soon after the blissful news of Melanie’s pregnancy, Ronald and Cynthia’s recurring presence in their lives posed another threat and their demented desire to wreck Noel and Melanie’s union triumphs this time with the prospect of cold steal bars between the newlywed couple.

Another thing that I want to add to today’s post is something I found while browsing the net (I know, I have nothing better to do, LOL). I was browsing my Friendster account and I found numerous blog entries that I have written in the past. The two below really caught my eye and made me laugh my head off! I was so gullible back then!

Referring to the line "there are plenty more fish in the ocean."
Merely some people would take this as an advice, or a line just to make the person feel better. For me? I have no idea. So let’s evaluate.
You sit on your long boat going fishing with whomever, and all you catch are small skinny fishes that wouldn't even keep you full for an hour. And then suddenly you catch a fish and man it's like THEE most perfect catch of the day. Are you sure? Are you sure that deep inside that that fish is nothing but a pathetic piece of meat that would just making you sick, like food poisoning for example?
It’s not just about throwing a line and catching some random fish. It’s about throwing YOUR line and catching a fish that you know you'll have for keeps. And not just some other fish to throw back into the ocean and see which other loser would wind up with it and gets thrown back into the ocean again.
It’s not about catching a fish and keeping it until it starts to stink. It’s about catching a fish and knowing that it would never rot, never stop *loving you*
To know if the fish is worth keeping:
If the catch of the day really is YOUR catch of the day, you should know.
1. Fishes who bite you when you're trying to unhook it from your line, you know already that it'd just be one of those who'll say "bug off bxtch. You’re not cool enough for me."
2. Fishes who come along and give a sign for you to hurry up and unhook them are probably just trying to say "come on, and I’ll show my friends that I’m dating this new hottie at school."
3. fishes who wait patiently for you to unhook them, but then when they have the chance the jump back into the ocean, it's just another way of saying "yeah, there's this other person whom I want to be caught by, but I’m glad to stay friends."
4. Fishes who wait in your hands for you to unhook them and don't bite, don't hustle, don't avoid are worth keeping, and it's just another way of the fish saying "I love you."
I, how should I say... managed to catch a fish, but turned out to be fish number 3.
HAHA. Well, all I could say was this. There was another time when I went fishing and this particular fish was like king of all fishes, it was perfect, only its attitude was a bit of a problem. Okay I caught the fish. Okay I was able to spend some time with it. But in the end, though it never said it out loud, I know that deep inside that fish it was trying to find a way to say bug off bxtch. You’re not cool enough for me. but I guess all fish are not brave. So fxck that fish. Fxck fish number 1. And this was way before I laid eyes on the fish who turned out to be fish number 3...

I miss those days where you held your hand upon my shoulder.
I miss those days you'd ditch your friends and sit on the sofa with me and just talk about anything.
I miss the words, "you're scaring me" when I sat there quietly.
I miss the REALLY short but wonderful stroll that we had.
I miss your gentleness when you'd let me go up the narrow staircase first, and I would cover up underneath just incase you had the intention of looking up my skirt.
BUT
I hate you for never saying goodbye.
I hate you for coming back and never inviting me to your “welcome back” party.
I hate you for coming back and then leaving again without telling me.
I hate you for never replying me.
BUT
I am lucky to have experienced all.

Wednesday is here!
I started my day with the usual works on the jump rope – 650 jumps today!
And needless to say that I’m once again stuck at home with nothing better to do than slum around in front of the television watching Tagalog soap operas. I must admit that I managed to finish the whole of Volume 4 yesterday and even finish half of Volume 5. This morning after lunch I finished Volume 5 and have now just started Volume 6 – I’m such an addict seriously. I’m hoping to be able to get out of the house this Friday with my friends and just chill and hangout at the Mall.
Walang Kapalit
Volume 4
Though moving on towards separate paths as what they believe is for the best, Noel and Melanie line real soul mates, end up sharing almost the same ordeal – an unhappy marriage. Ronald is a vicious husband to Melanie, while Cynthia’s insecurities provoke Noel’s essentially good nature.
But being co-workers in a company gives Noel and Melanie a chance to bond again. They find refuge in their friendship amidst difficulties with their respective spouses. What they don’t know is that their innocent bond is being perceived in the wrong light, and something ominous is brewing between Ronald and Cynthia soon after the two get acquainted by chance.
Walang Kapalit
Volume 5
Ronald and Cynthia’s tryst is captured on video – an evidence Ronald uses to blackmails Cynthia’s hopes that Noel’s life will shatter into something worse than his own. This deadly game of deception, however, gets out of hand leaving everyone connected to Cynthia and Ronald stupefied and shaken by the scandal.
Seeking redemption and another chance at life, Noel files divorce and Melanie files an annulment case, inciting a start of another difficult battle as their respective spouses device ways to prove that Noel and Melanie would have to suffer before they can even attempt at pursuing sweet freedom.

It’s Tuesday!
Guess what? I thought yesterday was Tuesday...
Anyway, nothing special or exciting is going to happen today,
Just going to be doing the same things I did yesterday.
433 jumps on the jump rope this morning and hope to reach 1000 by the end of the week.
I’ll be spending most of my time in front of the TV and computer – you know the usual Tagalog telenovelas which by the way I have finished watching Volume 3 of Walang Kapalit. What can I say? I’m a real addict – and plus, it’s like only four hours per volume. If I watch with no stops I can definitely watch 2-3 volumes per day. But I won’t do that – or else in the end I’ll have nothing left to watch.
So here’s the outline of Volume 3 (I haven’t yet to start Volume 4):
Walang Kapalit
Volume 3
Agnes succumbs to a heart attack and Cynthia deliberately withholds the information from Noel, once again, creating a rift between Noel and Melanie.
Meanwhile, it looks like Ariston is ready to reveal the truth of the real nature of his relationship with Noel but an accident derails it.
Melanie sees the death of their parents as punishment for her illicit love affair with Noel and she breaks off with him. But they remain a family as Noel is appointed her legal guardian.
Melanie graduates with honours but another misunderstanding during her graduation party results in an impulsive decision to marry Ronald (Bobby Andrews).
How will this new development affect Noel and Melanie’s relationship?

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY AKIRA!

It’s Monday – the start of a new week and not to mention the first week into my oh-so lifeless summer holiday (for now)... But I doubt my summer will get any better that hanging around the Mall with friends. It’s not that I’m complaining, I just want adventure and new experiences for the long summer.
So I woke up at 9am and did a little bit of exercising with the jump rope – 321 jumps in a period of 15 minutes today and I plan to improve my jumps as time goes by. I seriously crave to go to the beach sometime during the holidays with my friends and watch the sun set – I would want to watch the sun rise, but then I would want to get up that early and plus, I’ve been there and done that (watching the sun rise that is). To cut long story short, I was on a retreat with my Confirmation Class at a beach resort in Labuan – woke up early and watched the sun rise, it was beautiful.
Okay yes, I’m a real Tagalog soap opera addict and needless to say I’m on Volume 3 of Walang Kapalit, for those, here is the blurb of what happened in Volume 2:
Walang Kapalit
Volume 2
Noel figures in a car accident that makes the whole family rush to his side. As Melanie takes care of her brother, they finally admit they love each other. But their parents are deadest against their relationship.
Meanwhile, Ceding admits to Agnes that Noel is her son born out of wedlock with Ariston’s father. This makes Ariston and Noel half-brothers, not father and son.
As Noel and Melanie nurture their relationship, Cynthia (Jodi Sta. Maria-Lacson) tries a drastic measure in an attempt to gain Noel’s undivided attention.
Will she succeed in driving a wedge in the sibling’s relationship?

Sunday...
Well, I’m at home relaxed in front of the television – well was but now I’m blogging. I might say that there are actually a lot of good movies showing. When I say good I mean you know something that I would actually sit down to and watch, for example, the was Take The Lead on HBO around 11am this morning which I believe is now followed by The Da Vinci Code. Switching channels there is then The Pink Panther on Star Movies which just finished and now is showing It’s a Boy Girl Thing. Oh well – I spent my morning/afternoon watching movies, and of course my Sunday would not be complete without watching CSI Supreme Sunday from 12:00 – 3:00PM. Well okay, I only wait for CSI:NY – it’s the best for me! Plus their on Season 4 now (on TV) that is – yes I’m not rich to buy the whole seasons on VCD/DVD.
I guess this is practically how my summer is going to run for the next 2½ months – oh joy. Well, I’m currently watching a new Tagalog soap opera Walang Kapalit – it may not be new in the Philippines but it’s a recent flick. I just finished Volume 1 and just barely starting Volume 2. If anyone is interested to know what the story is about, here is the blurb for Volume 1:
Walang Kapalit
Volume 1
Noel (Piolo Pascual) and Melanie (Claudine Barretto) are siblings but are not related by blood. That’s because Noel’s father, Ariston (Edu Manzano), and Melanie’s mother, Agnes (Dina Bonnevie), are married.
The two children constantly bicker as they resent each other’s presence. The petty quarrels turn into adolescent issues as well. The situation is not helped by Ariston’s favouritism of Melanie over his own son. But this is balanced by the usual dedication showered by the family nanny, Ceding (Amy Austria), on Noel.
A major conflict drives Noel to continue his studies in Australia. Will distance help the siblings miss each other? Will they realise the old adage that hatred is really the brother of love?
---
I’ll post Volume 2’s blurb when I get around to finish watching it...
Sigh, I’m so sad that I don’t have anymore songs of the day to post – because if any of you readers out there haven’t realised, they’re all from David Archuleta’s collection of songs from American Idol Season 7. Maybe when he releases his album then I can get back on track XD.
Love; Ally.

In This Moment
Mother, can you hear me for the first time I see
born into eyes not by my own decision
take me away from a life with no vision
step down from the subway, climb the staircase to the street
spinning in circles and holding on tight to this moment forever
if only tonight
I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me
Driving through the city for the first time you and me
staring through windows at my own reflection
how can a window encompass perfection
now that I know what it's like to be living
this beautiful world will never stop giving
I can't return to a life with no vision
born into eyes not by my own decision
I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me
Watching the world through the eyes of a child
sitting alone in my room
wishing that someone would take me away someday
give me a chance and I'll show you what's real
open your eyes and you'll see
that I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me
I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me

I’m at home at the moment...
Wow – I still can’t believe I’m on holiday
I mean, I’m actually still panicking over the time thinking that I’ve been procrastinating too much and that sooner or later there won’t be anytime left for me to cram for an exam. I know right, how sad am I?
It’s raining – nice cold weather.
I got my nails done all ready for prÖm tomorrow,
Getting my hair and makeup done tomorrow afternoon.
I so can’t wait!

Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me – Elton John
I cant light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Its much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I cant find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don’t discard me baby don’t
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal
Oh, don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I see
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, its always someone else I that see, yeah
Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Longer – Dan Fogelberg
Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
Ill bring fires in the winters
You’ll send showers in the springs
Well fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
Ill be in love with you.
Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you
I am in love with you..

Bleh – I’ve certainly FAILED my Add Maths Exam! There were a lot of calculus questions (which we haven’t even touched on) and I just know I’m going to fail – to be exact I’ve only about answered 30 out of the 80 marks, and I can’t guarantee myself that all 30 are correct... Oh Shit – and I’m not even bothered to revise for Paper 2 tomorrow.
Hilary Clinton suspends Presidential Candidacy...
GO OBAMA!
To quote Abhishek – “I’d rather not study and fail than study hard and then fail...” Haha – words of wisdom? I guess I can say that...

And So It Goes – Billy Joel
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I’ve held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
Its just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That’s if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows
