Another day, another blog entry. I'm so excited and happy and high, can you tell? Wahaha XD

To satisfy the christmas spirit within me, I tagged along with my parents to the misa del gallo this morning. It was super chilly when my mom woke me up at 4:30 so it was very, very tempting not to get up. After 10 minutes or so, I did get up, then I changed (I looked like a druggie, btw, since I was in a hurry). I'm glad that I did  go with them because if I do complete the nine days of simbang gabi this year, it will be my third year to do so. :DDDDD

For those who don't know, the misa del gallo or simbang gabi is a Filipino tradition where we go to mass at dawn everyday from the 16th of December until the 24th. It started during the Spanish period when the priests held early masses for the farmers who couldn't leave their fields during the day. (Credits to Wiki)

Anyhoo. During the mass, there was this grandpa who bobbed his head to the sound of the choir singing "Silent Night." LOL. Rock on, Lolo! Wahahaha XD. His grandchild (or child.) looked up at him in awe. Oh yea. LOL. Now there are two things that pop in my head whenever I hear this song: rocker grandpa and NewS' performance of "Sirent Night" where Koyama was caught lip-synching. XD

When we went out of the church, I saw my former high school classmate at the parking lot. The last time I saw her was about eight months ago. Sadly, I wasn't able to say hi because she was five/six cars away from me. Anyhow. She gained weight like woah!! o_O. Or maybe it was just my imagination. She was far from me, after all.

So I went to an internet cafe during my long break because I had to print something for class. While preparing the document, I logged on to livejournal. Server not found. I thought it was an eljay problem so I went to other sites instead. Sever not found. Gah. I called the lady at the counter and told her what was wrong. Then she said really loudly, "Dili mu-connect sa friendster?" WTF. Then I realized the site I was trying to access was Friendster. Gah. Stupid, stupid. The person next to me snickered. I'm sure all those who heard thought that all I do with my spare time is check my friendster account. Whoopdeedoo. >_<

Hmmmmmm. I guess that's all for now. I have an early day tomorrow. Wooo. Simbang Gabi #3 + 7:30 AM Class. @_@

It's nice to know there are some Filipinos getting good recognition abroad. :)


Charice Pempengco (aka the girl who danced with Super Junior!!! *_*) was featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday.

She was also in the E! Daily Top Ten about two weeks ago. I only knew about this today. Video is here.

YAY FOR CHARICE. <3

I will officially be a college student in less than 48 hours. Words of encouragement, anyone? Words of advise, even?

Well, here's what I got so far.

Dad: Don't be a political activist.
Aside from its academic standards, my school is also known for having students who have a knack of staging protests against the government (it's a government-operated school, btw. See the irony?). I doubt that I'll ever become one of them because 1) I have better other things to do, and 2) and my idea of current events is celebrity gossip. Haha. I'm stupid, trivial, and selfish. Sue me.

Mom: Don't forget to take a shower.
Ahahaha. The school's known for its hobo laid-back nature as well. Don't worry, Ma. I will not neglect personal hygiene in exchange for social acceptance.

OUR PLUMBING SYSTEM IS DEAD. That means, we don't have water right now. Boohoo. The plumbers have been working on it for the past 8 hours cause there seems to be a huge problem with the pipes. As cheesy as it sounds, it's definitely true - you never miss the water until it's gone.

Happy Independence Day, mga kababayan! Technically, the independence day is tomorrow but the country is celebrating it today so we can enjoy a long uninterrupted weekend. My dad was really excited, he even bought a flag for the car! Luck's not on his side though cause he spent the entire day supervising the plumbers. Bwahaha.
