FPotW--Favorite Person of the Week!

and my Favorite Person of the Week is: Pepe! *applause*

since walang classes today until the weekends, my 'rents picked me up from the dorm kaninang morning. my cousins gracie and NJ rode with us. grabe, before 7am, mama and papa were at the dorm na. whoa.

so we went back to laguna. stopover sa petron for gas and drive-thru at mcdo. we, like, ordered EIGHT egg mcmuffins and EIGHT hash browns! haha. the lady at mcdo was like, "whatcha gonna do with eight egg mcmuffins?!" hehe.

ahh. home sweet home. the first thing i did: turn on the PC. haha. of course. i went online agad to download stuff, then logged on to YM. been talking to pepe, gimo, kitkit, millicent, miko and lee. did i leave anybody out? hmm...

kit and i talked about his new boyfriend. haay, nako! si chatmate talaga. pag ka nga naman sa mga lalaki. basta, no comment na. alam naman nya un. basta, kit, i got your back, kapatid! ;)

millicent was telling me about the centennial celebration thingy ng st. scho-manila. sasayaw daw siya ng parang sa maskara festival. ahahahaha! can't wait to see pictures. hehehe.

miko simply IM-ed me to make hingi a testi from me. wahaha. i made her one. syempre, malakas yun sa 'kin eh, haha. (line nya yan ah!).

lee and i talked about lotsa stuff. school and christmas party and guys. tinatanong ko siya if lee's kirky is ma-drama. the guys i know are. eh lee's kirky was with her pala (huhuhu, wala na ako ipapakitang pagmumukha sa kanya, nabasa rin niya siguro yung nasa tagboard ni lee). hehe. lee's kirky said hindi naman daw siya ma-drama. lee said "medyo." hahaha!

with gimo, nung una it was just about our thingy in english. a presentation thing we had to do. then it got around to this whole conversation about guys and girls and love and such. basta. drama! haha. but he's a really nice guy to talk to. the things he says...gosh...

then pepe! we've been like chatting on and off the whole day. naku, ang layo na ng narating ng usapan. haha. and here's one reason why pepe's my favorite person of the week:

we were having this VERY SERIOUS conversation about loneliness.

P: im lonely eh
me: yeah, pero you're not alone.
P: im not alone but do i feel them ba?
me: yeah. loneliness is just a feeling. being alone is a state of being. you have friends. sometimes you're lonely kasi di mo sila kasama or iniwan ka nila, but babalik din naman sila sa yo. you'll never be alone.
P: babalik pero may kasama nang epal!
P: waaaaaaaaah

gawd, bigla ba naman humirit nung "babalik pero may kasamang epal!". mehn, i was laughing myself off! the guy knows how to give the best punchlines. sheesh. he's got a lot more, kaso i'm not gonna go and give a tell-all on the things we talked about. medyo...er...secret lang eh. haha.

basta, he's my favorite person of the week. yay for Dr. Burke! haha.

we had a practical test today--focusing a specimen under a microscope.

i got...





*drum roll, please*




ZERO! tenen! haha.


okie lang. lotsa people got the same grade as i did. hehe. basta may kasama, pwede magsaya! wahehe. tagoink!

pepe just texted me. he said he's setting himself free na daw. by free, he meant he was freeing himself from his chasing after *pepe's crush's name here*. he seemed bound to his goal of getting the girl kasi eh. pero now he said he's over it. damn, after all these talks about holding on and taking chances, he's finally letting go. wow.

he explained things to me naman eh, so i know that all those talks we've had didn't go to waste. and yes, i think he's doing the right thing. he's made a good decision. he's happy.




...i seem to ba talking about pepe a lot, noh? weh, never mind. i'm talking about ME now. so the world would start revolving around me again, and not on him! haha!

we had chem lab kanina. we did an experiment on hydrocarbons. weh, nasigawan ba naman ako ng prof ko! hmf! it ain't unusual naman, kasi it seems na everytime we have an experiment, lagi siyang may pinag-iinitan. anyway, i love chem LAB. kasi i like the experiments. pero i hate chem LEC, kasi i'm slow with chemistry concepts and stuff.

oh yeah, and my day started out so bad! i woke up really early, although my first class wasn't until 10am. i got dressed up by 08.20am, then i received a text message from miko. she asked if i attended the game! syet! i totally forgot all about the game! eh it started at 08am. so i thought, "better never than late." mas nakakahiya pumunta nang late, kaya di na lang ako pumunta. then i realized i didn't have money na, so i planned to go sa ATM in school. just when i was about to leave my room, i found a brown spot on my uniform. i realized it was chocolate icing! syet! i was eating cake kasi that morning, and apparently, a piece fell and landed on my bag, so when i got my bag, the chocolate stuck to my white uniform. darn it. i had to change,and i was already in a hurry kasi i had to go to the library and finish my zoology homework. gawd! i rushed to school, and went to the ATM. kaso it said "unable to issue cash at the moment" or something like that. syet! i knew i wasn't going to have a very good day. i just knew it. syet.

pero now i'm feeling all better. haha. tagoink!

this past few days have been the most fun days i've had in quite a while. i think it has a lot to do with "pepe's little secret" that he shared with me. heehee.

so anyway, classes ended at 02.30pm yesterday. i had been outside the room, waiting for miko, who was changing in the comfort rooms (katabi ng room namin). she had just come back when pepe and company had just gone out of the classroom. i said bye to them; they were gonna go somewhere to eat, birthday treat daw ni pepe. so i was helping miko fix her stuff when pepe came back. he said something like, "sama ka sa amin! libre na rin kita." honestly, i was flattered. i wasn't really close to their barkada, and i didn't want to intrude. after all, pepe already mentioned to me that he was treating HIS BARKADA. besides, i didn't want miko to feel like pinagpapalit ko yung company nya for their company. pero in the end, with pepe and percy's nagging, i went with them na. miko went to PE anyway.

so i was with pepe's barkada: pepe, percylou, kat, diane, paola, francis, gimo and glen. this other guy named lance came along din. he was with kat, talking to her and all. i was with pepe and percy, talking to them and all. it was at that time na na-realize ko ang benefits of having a guy na kabarkada--you have someone to bring your school stuff! haha. joke! nah, but really, that was nice of pepe. i was carrying an envelope and my not-so-light zoology textbook, pero he carried 'em. tapos dumagdag pa yung stuff nila paola and percy. basta ganun. heehee.

we all went out through the lacson gate. kat wasn't coming to the birthday treat eh, so we waited until her mom picked her up. even then, i had no idea kung saan ba kami papunta, so i just followed them. we ended up at yellow cab. wow, yellow cab!

unfortunately, the place was too small, so they just fixed the tables sa side. kaya we were all just in one row, facing the wall. orders were taken, then we decided who should sit where. pepe was like, "gusto ko katabi si fides," then nag-react si paola. haha. i'd been waiting to hear new stuff from pepe, and i had a feeling marami siyang new scoop kaya gusto ko rin katabi siya. to be fair to paopao, he sat inbetween us. then kwento-kwento. mehn, that guy always has great stories to tell. then the pizzas came. two were from pepe, another was from lance (kasi nag-birthday din pala siya). yum!

all in all, the day was fun. syempre, kung ang kasama ba naman ay si pepe, gimo and percy, talagang laughtrip na yan. woohoo!

thanks, pepe. yes, masaya ako at nakasama ako sa inyo. thanks talaga. :)

today marks the end of nursing week. aww, mehn...

i woke up at 5am, just like i always do, para first ako sa showers. i took my time, though, kasi assembly time was at 8am pa. by 6.50am, i still didn't have my shoes on, and my bag wasn't packed yet. then alyssa texted me asking where i was. i said nasa dorm pa. she said she was already in school, pero she was with ana and aleyla naman so hindi siya lonely. so i relaxed. mapapaaga sana punta ko if she didn't have anybody with her--siyempre, friends kami, dapat samahan ko siya.

i was just beginning to relax sa dorm again when pepe texted, asking what time i was going to school. sabi ko i'll be there at around 7.30am pa. he was like, "kanina pang 5.50am ako nandito!" he told me to text him when i get to school, wala daw siya kasama kasi kat was absent and sila yung magkabarkada. so by 7am i was in school na rin.

when i got there, i looked for pepe. aww, so lonely by the fountain. yan kasi, kasalanan ni pepe kaya absent si kat! heehee. *si pepe kasi eh, tsk tsk. joke!* we went to the med building to meet up with our classmates. kaunting usap-usap, blah blah blah. we all decided na we're just going to watch the campus musical songfest.

we all met up outside the med audi, then nag-songfest na. gawd. torture from pepe to the max! i swear, everytime na madikit ako sa kanya, i know may tuksuhan na naman na mangyayari. ang galing kasi ni pepe pag dating sa mga ganun-ganun eh.

the songfest was pretty okay. there was this really great performance from "suzette something-something." basta, astig! wow, whatta voice. the suzette girl won first place.

after the songfest, i went back to the dorm para mag-ayos ng gamit. i fixed my bag, delivered my laundry. then i rushed back to school for the variety show. sama-sama na naman kami. gimo and pepe were so funny! ang kulit talaga. heehee. puro patawa.

ayos lang sana yung variety show. lots of fun performances. DJ, BMR, and leigh (plus a bunch of other freshies) danced. the 'problem' came some time near the end of the show.

after the show kasi, everyone had to vacate the auditorium to let it be fixed up and cleaned for the concert that followed the show. eh syempre, my classmates and i wanted to be first in line for the concert. so petut stood up and shouted, "hoy classmates! labas tayong lahat. may meeting tayo!" she shouted it out while an acoustic band was performing onstage. then some of our classmates stood up, and began leaving. pepe, who wasn't sitting beside us, had no idea why people were leaving kaya he just stood there. eh pepe is like, 5'11 or something. so ang laki niyang harang to those who were seated. eh kami yung occupants nung first few seats. some senior girl got angry by what just happened and started saying things about pepe that i don't feel like repeating. basta, i know what pepe did seemed wrong to her (although pepe had no idea talaga), pero she didn't have to say things like those noh. basta magulo. although i think more than pepe's standing up incident, petut's shouting also had something to do with the 'argument.'

anyway, basta ganun. miko, ana and i talked about it. then pepe and i had a talk about it din (and more). so from now on, lesson learned.

i didn't attend the concert anymore. i went to alabang and met papa there for dinner. miko kept texting me about what was happening naman eh. and pepe, too--using miko's phone. hehe! i spent a lot of time texting him eh, ang kulit kasi, ayaw maniwala sa akin. hehe.

basta. yun na yun.



now i'm off to download episodes of Lost: Season 3 and Desperate Housewives: Season 3. weee!!


P.S.
yeah, Drama King! you're gwapo.
oops. wag na tumanggi--tanggapin mo na.

P.P.S.
Drama King! Nice abs. heehee.
tagoink!

...but not for me, unfortunately. haha.

anyway, still nursing week. i thought today would be boring, seeing as i have no idea what to do today. but i was wrong...

***

we went to the sports complex for the Nursing Sportsfest: Naglalarong Nars 2006 thingy. three of our classmates were part of the freshmen basketball team, and another was in the volleyball team. when we got there, though, sobrang tagal namin naghintay kasi the games weren't supposed to start yet pala. there was still the UST Tigers' Fans Day--yeah, the Tigers have fans. yihee! haha.

while we were waiting for the Tigers, petut pulled me aside. i saw her kasi with DJ the night before, although it probably wasn't the best thing. basta yun. she explained why she was with him then, and blah blah blah. it all boils down, though, to the fact that DJ is a very, very nice guy and a "perfect gentleman" (haha--desperate housewives!). yep. after hearing what he did, i have gained a newfound respect for the guy...kahit di naman kami nag-uusap. tagoink!

then, the Tigers arrived--with the Yellow Jackets and the Salinggawi Dance Troupe. astig yung YJ and gawi. then there were some activities with the Tigers. by the way, i ♥ francis aguilar--one of the Tigers. i haven't seen him play yet, though. hehe. but anyway, he's probably good sa court. he's good in singing as well. wow. wow talaga. nyaha! uuuyyy!

there was also this game with the Tigers, funny bones. there was this whole thing about someone's knee on someone's leg, cheek to shoulder, nose to nose. blah. in the end, they just had two players--aguilar and ababou--and their partners. the hosts made them dance "boom tara tara" to determine who's the winner. heehee.

***

after the fans' day and some cheering competition, we went to lunch. then miko said DJ&co. was going to meet us to watch a movie sa room308. so we went. kaso the room was still closed. so miko and i and the rest of our friends went to our classroom para magpalamig. "kuya gwapo" was there, hehe. i have no idea what his name is, basta he's an older nursing student and he's gwapo. haha. then biglang tumawag si DJ kay sa phone ni miko, kaso miko accidentally hung up on him. ha!

we met DJ&co. back at room308, and yeah, it was open na. miko was still nahihiya after hanging up on DJ, who was sitting in front of us. so i told her, "eh di tawagan mo rin!" but she said she didn't have load anymore, so i offered her my phone. she said no, pero i dialled the number anyway. i was like, "hello? DJ? si fides 'to. gusto ka daw makausap ni miko." he hung up, though, and turned around. shocked, i think. probably thinking how crazy i was calling him when he was right there. i was laughing so hard at miko's expression. priceless. although nahiya din ako sa ginawa ko, since it was pretty crazy--i am a total idiot. after that, miko went to the other side of the room where ruby and nina and glen were--to make kwento of what happened, siyempre. while she was gone, i texted DJ to say pasensya sa pangtitrip and pangungulit. that was it.

what happened afterwards was so unexpected! i thought he'd just reply with a message na "ok lng un." but instead, he got up from his seat and sat beside me! oh, shoot! he was on miko's seat, since miko was still talking to ruby. gawd, though. pinagtinginan kami. ivie was like, "huy, DJ ha...anu yan?" and even ruby and glen and nina and miko were looking at us. i kinda froze, thinking someone who like DJ very very much (who was also there *ahem*) was going to kill me. my text was my death sentence. anyway...


DJ
hi.
ME
hi.
DJ
ano, okay lang yun.
ME
eh hindi. ayun nga, nahiya lang kasi ako. hehe. basta, sensha sa pangungulit.
DJ
ayos lang talaga...


*at this point, it's like all "sorry" and "ayos lang." so gulo, haha. then he asked kung talaga daw bang nag-missed call siya. baka daw napindot lang niya, hmm.*


ME
oh, yeah. and about sa kagabi--yung kayo ni petut...
DJ
ha? yun? wala lang yun. ano lang kasi...
ME
nasabi na sa 'kin ni petut yung nangyari. wala lang. ang bait nung ginawa mo. wow.
DJ
ah, hindi. hehe.
ME
at tsaka nakita ka rin nung roommate ko. ang gwapo mo daw.
*he scoffs.*
ME
and ang hunk mo daw.
DJ
ha? ano?
ME
hunky ka daw! haha!


yeah my roommie did say so! yihee! nyaha. after that, we went back to our usual "no speaking to each other" state--and with good reason: nakatingin pa rin yung classmates namin sa amin.

***

after the movie, we went to mcdonald's. DJ&co went off somewhere, although si jake hindi sumama sa kanila. so he went to mcdo with us. being the only guy, he got bombarded with questions (poor jake!). all of us asked him some stuff--although we promised na walang makakalabas eh, so...

haha!

***

we went back to the med building and up to the med audi for the pageant. so long the line na when we got there! darn. oh well, kailangan ng patience. we went in line and waited. and waited. and waited. sinu-sino ba kami nun? miko, ana, gayle, alyssa, angela, krystle, aleyla, me, bridget+boyfriend. ayun. then pepe&gang arrived. katkua wasn't feeling well, though, so sinamahan siya nina petut and paola. pepe went back and forth, hanging out with us then checking on kat, until nakauwi si kat (get well soon, kat!).

pepe hung out with us, telling us about his lurve lyfe. heehee. he said a lot of stuff, and naiintindihan ko naman yung mga explanations niya and all. kaya hanggang papasukin kami ng med audi, we kept talking and talking and talking about...stuff. nyaha! basta, stuff. i never knew guys could be so...full of drama. natuwa naman ako dun! heehee. so while we waited for the others to come (DJ, leigh, and paola), magkakatabi muna kami nina pepe and ana and me. kawawa si miko, lonely. aww. then pepe talked about someone very very special--uuuyyy! haha. don't worry, i'm not gonna tell (kahit na mukhang marami na may alam). until umuwi kami, we exchanged a few messages about lurve. paano ba naman, masyadong depressed yun about *pepe's crush's name here*. don't worry, pepe. mamahalin ka rin nun--ligawan mo na kasi! weeee!

i didn't finish the pageant, though. i wasn't used to being out of the dorm so late. so i said bye to everyone na. ana and leigh and alyssa and pepe went na rin.

***

while i was at the med audi nga pala, my roommate's boyfriend texted me. weird noh? but yeah, he did. he's like my new kuya, hehe (he calls me ate fides, eh he's OLDER than me naman! hmf!). he asked me some stuff about my roommie, blah blah blah. then i told him, "take care of her, ha?" and he was like, "of course. i love your friend/dormmate/sister very much. i will take care of her. promise."

aww, how sweet. although my roommie doesn't know na he texted me. hehe. uh oh.

yes, i am back at school--for a week and a half now. haha.

anyway, today marks the start of our college week '06--nursing week '06. weee!!! haha. thank God for whoever invented college week--no classes eh! yay!

i spent the day eating and watching 'sukob'--laughtrip! nye!

i am counting down the days until classes begin.


and guess what?





this semester, my monday mornings (as in 7am-9am) are going to be spent running around UST--yep, running. not jogging. oh, what fun.




and on a slightly unrelated topic, i finally got to check my grades online. i'm hangin' in there. oh joy.
