Powerhouse Production

Working with 3CA1., we'll its the first time for me to had a chance to work with them. One of my major class was TV Production, where we got to experience the life on and off the camera. the first pick was having a public service show. just like the UNTV shows. it was good cause my groupmates was good and responsible in doing production staff. i also contributed but not a big part, given that im an irregular student. i wanted to get a big role but they wouldn't give me one haha...yeahyeah i know, the reason...irregular means irresponsible... haha

its not that, they dont get chance to know me haha. maybe because when im with them im quiet and didn't speak much.

Though, I wanted to thank them for letting me be a part of this production. They were superb, i can say. some of them have lots of experiences working on and off cam.

NOT FEELING WELL

it was just last week that i had a bad feeling., experiencing high fever with a temperature of 39.8 and it absolutely made my week terrifying. my body was not in good condition to resemble stuffs. the "not feeling weell" thing started last wednesday, where i had to attend classes and not only minor but major class, not that i want to attend but i needed to...that day day was a hell day because i had to take 3 quizzes., 2 minors and in advertising major. i was very ill and feeling cold.. so i had to borrow a jacket to feel a bit relief. That day, I texted all my friends. A guy replied and asked me, what kind of jacket I needed. And I texted him back and said that anything will do. He told me to go to the gym and get the jacket from him, there I went then he handed me his nike jacket. I was touched that even though he's very busy, he made time to lend a jacket for me....A big thanks to Dylan Ababou, he's really a nice friend of mine. :)

RE: A VERY SPECIAL GIFT TO MY 24TH

YES! 'Almost' everyone in town we're unlimited or neither should i say have loaded just to great christiu thru fanatxt or maybe in his blogsite.

this is going to be a late reply about "a very special gift to my 24th"...i dont know why it strucked me. i was hit when chris wrote this: "I honestly thought that once my stint with the Blue Eagles is done, you'd be all gone as well! Kidding!" then there i was reminiscing his basketball career....How I miss Chris playig hoops!

Does Chris Tiu still need something?! i doubt!

Lets just support him all the way!

which is which: he or he? (AN EXCERPT)

This is long so if you’d like to proceed on the GUY CLUES start at paragraph four. Read within the context of “Flailing” ha.

Call it a mental dysfunction or better yet, if you’re the "idiom" type, hitting two birds with one stone. Not that I have suddenly turned into a runny nosed, perpetual cadaver killed by hopeless romance, who has a vague admiration towards two men. The operative word here is obviously, “two”. But insane as I may be, contrary to perception, I think I am at this sane point in my life wherein I actually know what I want. If that doesn’t sound clear, consider it part of this muddled, routinely futile situation I put myself in every time.

The great thing about these two guys is how opposite they seem to be – literally and figuratively. Polar opposites if I may add. Put them side by side and you have a dazzling display of contrasts – their facial nuances, aura, propensities, smile, and look. One thing similar between them though which I gravitate towards is how seemingly dislocated they are in their world – in more pedestrian terms: may sariling mundo. I don’t know which hormone to blame na.

Guy number one is someone I really had no idea I would’ve liked. I’ve known him for quite a while yet I never really took notice of him since I always adhered to the principle or idea, “classmates are off limits/classmates are like siblings”. Now, I totally ditched those ideals. So much for loyalty. Essentially, what this guy does to me is different than most other guys I’ve been unfortunate enough to only grasp at a distance. He’s definitely not hot. He’s not handsome. He’s not a dashing prince. Physically speaking, he’s not someone I’d ever hit on based on “high school standards”. But obviously, I’ve finally taken notice of him and his smile – the sweet outstretch of his mouth, the come-hitherness that follows and the subsequent transformation of M the gay guy to M the milquetoast. He’s candid and camp – in a good way. He’s very self-assured and unafraid to poke fun at himself. He’s confident definitely, a man with a vague ambition and self-deprecating humor. He’s strangely confusing. It’s precisely because he’s everything I would never like in a guy, that I like him, exposing a sort of reverse psychology applying to me. And it’s this abrupt gear shifting in guy standards which suddenly turns me into a wondering philosopher, creating existential questions, either directed to him or to me or both. He makes me question what I really look for in a person and reevaluate my place in the universe - OA.

So now a shift in paradigm is needed in order to appreciate the full content of this blog – moving away from the M the Head Bitch in Charge, to M the unfocused lamb.

This though, in the light I’ve resigned myself partially to being single for a surprising period of my life. So yeah, that’s mostly how it’s working.

Guy number two is someone I just had the opportunity to know. For some strange reason I actually think I’ve seen him before but who cares. I’ve always been off limits to guys with girlfriends as well not because they presented twice the futility. It’s just a thing okay, a non-fetish. No I am not Katrina Halili who finds men with girls challenging or tempting. I find men who are married more tempting. It’s me, Monica Lewinsky. Ha. But this case is an exception to the broken rule. Like I said, he’s the opposite of guy number one. He’s a lot more serious, self-effacing, and introspective of course. He’s more of my usual type – really boy-next-door-ish, with an incredibly sexy smile and funny idiosyncrasies. He’s got beautiful, full red lips, and an endearingly unexpected accent. There’s a cloud of mystery surrounding him all the time, questions raised regarding religious beliefs, firm assertions and deliberations on whether he is cute or hot or plain both. There’s sensuality in him I haven’t seen yet in any guy from AB, a ravishing grin that melts my heart into puddles of glitter, a wicked, even lonely stare which resembles the old faith we once had on pagan gods. He’s really gwapo in the traditional sense, a bit maangas but still able to come off humble.

Guy Number 1 is a Koala. Guy Number 2 is a Snake. Guy #1 is the song "Melt Away", while Guy #2 is the song, "When I Saw You". They have different religions I think.

That’s basically it. No I’m not torn between to lovers even though for several years I’ve wished to be in that awkward position in my life. It’s a questionable wish I know but one that’s been closely realized (even if it’s not exactly between two lovers) by this magnetic and dynamic event called university life and love.

Crushes are truly non-threatening, lightweight matters of the heart. But given the choice, I’d prefer a life over a lovelife. Seriously


love you MARI. aka JOMA...bwahahaha

UAAP SEASON 72 : "one color, one goal"

This 2009 season of the UAAP came pretty quickly! Everyone is pretty excited about it, especially from where i'm coming, the tigers really took hard days of practices to get the crown back from as Ateneo looks to defend it's title. I don't really have much to say yet except that this year i'm going to be seeing things from a very different perspective. This year, for the first time ever since I started watching the UAAP, i can simply be a normal fan. I don't need to be so emotionally attached while watching the game and cheering for my school, cause chris tiu's now gone from the UAAP. Now i can just sit back and relax while enjoying the game. But it doesn't mean im not rooting for ateneo anymore. Obviously, i'm still going to be cheering for the eagles since the guys are all competitive and good-looking...haha :)



I would also like to acknowledge the fact that i'm pretty happy that there are still 2 of my crushes and a friend of mine are still playing in the UAAP. I always root for them, since i know how good they play and i would like all of them to succeed and have a good season. So to Ryan Buenafe, Nico Salva and classmate Dylan Ababou...i wish you goodluck.. Especially to Dylan, who has this year left to play, be a captain and prove himself.

As for the teams this year, I think FEU is a really talented and scary team with all the tools of a championship team. Oh plus they've got Mark Barroca and Gilas team mates. DLSU is always going to be in the tough ocntender the crown, thanks to their great system, although it's sad to hear about LA Revilla missing this season. UE is also another team to watch especially with the emergence of Paul Lee and the improvement of Elmer Espiritu, Acuna and Lingganay, but the loss of James Martinez has definitely got to hurt them. As for Nu, UP, and Adamson, i am hoping all of them improve and win a lot of games cause it's always nice to see a very competitive league where all the teams are balanced and no one team is standing out. (Well, with the very exception of Ateneo i hope :)) Alas to UST who lost a lot of Key players like tiger power Jervy Cruz, Franciz Allera, Canlas and Cuan. Dylan Ababou certainly needs to improved, step-up his game and show-off his skills with consistency.

UAAP72 hosted by FEU, opened last July 11 saturday at the big dome. Adamson gave UST a very close fight, just a point behind. Mirza blows and kicked off 23 loud points. Ateneo boom and shake the side steps with a win against FEU.

So nice to feel again the season of cheering and energy arousing school spirit.

GO USTE..ONE BIG FIGHT

ALL MIXED UP!!!

The month of june defunct just a usual school days and the storm that I was expecting didn’t came nor entered my zone. A wish was answered this month, I just handed a new cam. We now have destiny cable, in preparation for the upcoming UAAP season. Yey!BTV. I just bought a Nike bag, Nike slippers and Nike ID-lanyard to satisfy my pleasure. But yet I’m blown up. Know why???
It’s very appalling, horrifying, sickening for an irregular student like me to have such a dreadful suicidal overload schedule taking up 29 units in a sem. Waking up at 4:30am just to be at school exactly seven in the morning for my first class which is a one hour petition philo class every MWF, 7am to 8am I supposed. Then, waiting for the clock to strike twelve’ afternoon for my next boring class. Still, I had to attend 2 minor and 2 major classes. Staying 7 am up to 9 in the evening at the campus, I dare you! It really is a bad choice to opt it but they gave me no choice. I’m doomed!
Spending all day at school doesn’t mean that I could notch a student-honor-award, well, then maybe if there’s a will there’s a way…
focus + determination = key to success…hahahaha but HEY! Lets be realistic baby…it ain’t me. JUST Give me two years, I’ll be graduating soooooon I hope, that is, if my plans gonna work.
Classes at the Med building were suspended and No drinking fountain at UST reasonably due to A(H1N1) virus. So, I bought a tumbler, to quench my thirst. Sharing-
Money…I need money. I wanted to buy an iPod…upgrade it to an iPhone…haha. I’m kinda wishing for it, cuz’ I feel miserable riding a 2-hour jeepney “voyage” while hearing the sound of silence plus smoke belching all around me. What I need is music!!!. Can the government provide me one??? If yes, let me vote for Gloria!
BA5 marketing principle subject, I liked it. The first meeting made me befuddled and got my interest. Though, I looked at it in a different way with all the computations and numbers stuff. TV Prod with CA1 its sort of fun, knowing the basic of producing films and video, editing and handling a camera.
Met CA4, I felt at home in this section, probably because my bunch of best friends were there. The class was very active and approachable, compared to other section-batch.
Chances of being a regular student is 0.0000000000000000001 whoah that was so close to reality. I forgot to mention what happened to my school shoes, unfortunately it has come to an end and busted kaput. I needed to buy a pair; therefore I bought one, courtesy of my money given to me by my kind-hearted tita.
Perforating month of July by buying a Chalk Mag UAAP-NCAA edition. Start of UAAP season 72 fever banging the first game by a one-point win advantage of the tigers. Good start? That’s a NO! NO! haha. FEU is the host for today’s season. Ads and endorsement battered for the player’s exposure plus they get a chance to play for ABS-CBN’s Game ka na ba? Hosted by Edu Manzano. Its so funny seeing the players doing a different thing rather than hooping. I signed up for a school org just to try something new and re-activate my social life status. Costing me 130php, in exchange for a free Korean Meal and the meal was alive. Hahahaha long story. Talking about the org, it is a university wide org called the Radio Tomasino, where in we can get to organize events held by the students. Hey! The eagles won on their first season game against the tamarraws. Quite blessed for all-functional key players. Nico Salva was caliente aggressive and completely rocking the dance floor. I totally freaked out when I saw Ryan Buenafe, his moves were jaw dropping yet heart-pounding for me. Ateneo played as a team, all contributed. They almost make their beyond the arch percentage perfect. I saw chris tiu toooo. By the way, July 12, Sunday 8pm is the debut of Chris’ clear future league show…hope every one could catch it!
Apparently, I feel sleepy and impatiently waiting for D day. So long for now.
