So I guess I’m spoiled. Being the only son and the youngest one, it has always been evident that I am the favorite of my mother. I tell you, my sisters would attest to that. Remember my post last week? I posted a picture of a Mariah freebie, the iPod skin. I wrote that I had no use for it because I didn’t have an iPod. Last Monday, I talked to my mom using my most “malabing-paawa-effect” voice:
Me: Ma, ang ganda nung libreng iPod skin ni Mariah.
Mom: Oo nga eh.
Me: Sayang wala naman akong iPod.
Mom: Magkano ba yun?
Me: Meron sa greenhills. 6K lang. Second hand. (halatang nag-research na eh noh?)
Mom: O sige, bili ako bukas.
Me: Yehey!
I never really thought that she would buy the iPod. When I got home last Tuesday, to my surprise…CHENEN!
The funny thing is, we believe that the iPod was snatched from someone before we bought it because there were still photos of the girl in it. Wawa nga eh! I think she’s still in highschool. But then again, I’m so happy that I have the iPod. Boo Hoo!
Since I wrote about my “summer friends” last week, I would just like to share few pictures we took yesterday:
Clockwise: starting from me, and then Gelo, Ginela, Julia and Kareen. The other girl in the next pic is Celine (the funniest girl ever!)

Yihee” Sobrang nakakahiya. Pati si Ma’am Cruz nanggatong pa, “Ito talagang si Mr. Valencia, sinusundan pa ng tingin.” Sobra! I was an EMBARRASSMENT INCARNATE. Grrr! Ma’am Cruz even assigned the two of us to be partners in a report. Waaaah!
spoiled me.

Random Notes:
*I posted this one after I got home from school because the server wasn't working this morning.
*Summer Classes=haggard. But then again, I’m so happy with my new friends! Pwede ko na ipagpalit ang block ko. Joke lang!
*Sleep Deprived.
*Haven’t watched PBB since Sunday.
*I’ve seen episodes of Lobo though and Piolo seems to be shirtless all the time. Is this their way of boosting their ratings? Hmm…
*That colgate/close-up (sorry I forgot) guy (the one who’s inviting people to send videos) is kinda cute. Wag lang siya magsalita.
*Haven’t done the deed since classes started. Record Breaking! Wala na kong time and stamina. Pagod lagi. Sorry for the conservative people out there. Sharing lang.
*C2 overload
*Missing my blockmates
*Classes end on May 20. Can’t Wait.
*I saw Ma’am Cielo. She’s pregnant once again. Ang hilig!
*Ma’am Cruz told us that the four sections of third year CA will be re-shuffled and trimmed down to three sections. I don’t want to believe it until June comes. I’m a bit torn. A part of me wants to be with all of my blockmates and the other part wants to meet new people.
*My Finance subject is great.. Kaklase ko SIYA eh. I really don’t like him that much but I can never resist looking at those LIPS. Sobrang pula. Napapalingon nalang ako bigla. He always seems so lost and innocent. Awww! But then again…
CLICHÉ OF THE WEEK: He doesn’t even know I’m alive. He just passes me by.
summerskwela
I had it coming. I went to UST last Wednesday to enroll for my summer classes. Since I stopped for one semester, I have to take up at most three subjects to catch up with my blockmates. And as usual, even before I stepped foot at the gates of the school I knew something wrong would happen. It always happens in UST. The school would definitely test my patience for the nth time.
If you want to prove that UST has the most “bulok sistema” in Manila, you could just ask me and I would attest to that point right away. It was blazing hot when I went to room 101 to encode my subjects. I first chose History, English and Finance but the schedule of the first two overlapped so I had to cancel History. I then settled to NatSci but when I was about to encode it, the girl on the desk said that the slots for the subject haven’t been opened yet. WHY WOULD YOU FREAKING POST IN THE BULLETIN BOARD, “NATSCI ALREADY OPEN FOR SUMMER CLASSES” IF IN FACT IT ISN’T AVAILABLE YET?!?!? Katangahan to the extreme level!
The people there just told me to enroll first the two subjects that I wanted so I could already save a slot and then I could go back to check if slots for NatSci would open. I went to the oh-so-far-away seminary gym to pay my tuition. I fell in line and waited for my turn after at least 15 minutes. And then behold, I paid 8,900php for only two subjects. Ang mahal grabe! I went back to my building and OF COURSE, NatSci slots were still unavailable. I was so infuriated, irritated and most definitely TIRED that I just decided to go home and go back the next day.
I went very early last Thursday morning so that I could have it all done and go home at once. I was there at 7:30am. AND ONCE AGAIN, the guard told me that the encoding for summer classes would be at 9am. I started to laugh in front of him. I knew it would happen. It always happens! You know the feeling of so much anger that you were already on the verge of tears? That was me at that time. I was also battling the heat noh!
9am. I was in room 101 and I waited for several minutes because the laptop wouldn’t work. I kept going in front of the room to ask if the slots for NatSci were already available and they kept telling me to just wait. WTF?!?! When they finally told me that it was available, they said that the form I filled up was wrong because since I was just going to add a subject, I had to fill a different form. “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THAT A WHILE AGO?!?!” I went to the dean’s office to get the form. I filled it up and went straight to the seminary gym. The guy who was encoding it told me that I needed first the signature of a representative from the dean’s office. The fucking guy from the dean’s office forgot to sign it! I had no choice. You do what you gotta do. And so I went back to my building to get the signature from the dean’s office and then I went back to the gym. I was already raging mad at this point that I was already doing my “angas walk.” I was holding my ID and I swear I wanted to strangle each person I passed by with my lace.
When I was inside the gym again, I went straight to the guy before and gave him everything needed. There was another problem in the computer which made me blurt out, “Ano na naming problema?!?! Kahapon pa ako nandito ah!” The poor guy got so scared that he hurriedly ran my papers. I felt really sorry for him afterwards. He was just doing his job. I finally got my subjects together and it was all good in the end.
My schedule: (Monday-Friday)
7am-9am NATSCI
9am-11am ENGLISH
1pm-3pm FINANCE
TO UST: HINDI IBIG SABIHIN NA 400 YEARS NA KAYO AY KAILANGAN 400 YEARS OLD DIN ANG SISTEMA NIYO!
Random Notes:
*I know that he doesn’t read this but I actually saw Kevin during that whole thing because he’s doing Eco. We just said our hellos and the usual small talk. We didn’t do the entire enrolling thing together because I could already imagine the dead air and awkward silences that would transpire when we’re together. Kevin’s nice but we really didn’t have anything to talk about. Hihi!
*We bought a rabbit. His name is Pancakes after Summer’s rabbit in The O.C. He's cute and all but I really don't like animals and I'm scared of them which explains why in these pictures, my sister was holding him.
*Swimming with the family last Tuesday in Muntinlupa. Dur, nag-outing pa kame. Sobrang lapit lang. We had a karaoke session! Fun.
*MC’s album leaked. I downloaded it. So Good. I stay in looooovvvveeee! Will still buy the album of course.
*Summer classes start next week I really don’t know what to expect and I have no idea what I’m going to do with that two-hour break.
*Have you seen the episode of PBB with Josef and Nicole getting all munchy-munchy together? Idol ko na si Josef in making girls fall for him. Ang astig! He planned it all along: the supposedly tampo with Nicole and then making konsensya tapos magbabati sila. Nice!
*Robi!!!
PBBTEP
I haven’t been watching Pbb religiously this week because it’s been a bit crappy with the parents living also inside the house. What’s the deal with that?!? I kinda miss the plain big brother. Masyado nang maraming pakulo. Anyway, I will try to give my honest comments about the 14 housemates. And as I always do, I will rank them starting with my least favorite:
14. Jieriel
Ayoko sa lahat ang MAIINGAY! From the moment she stepped inside the house, her mouth has been unstoppable. Ang sarap i-masking tape…mali, stapler dapat para dumugo! She felt guilty because she was the only one who felt that Josef and Robi weren’t really friends. Yeah you should blame yourself. Dahil sa’yo, wala kayong makain! What’s also with her and her stepfather being so close? May relasyon ata yung dalawa eh. Lastly, I turned the volume down when she started making her graduation speech last Tuesday. If you saw that episode, you probably know why. I-evict na nga yan!
13. Jolas
I don’t like him. Medyo feeling gwapo kahit hindi naman! Plus, hindi ko siya maramdaman sa show. Invisible housemate.
12. Nan
He is slated as the “comedian” in the house but has yet to make me laugh. Hindi nga nagjo-joke eh. He’s just this plain-probinsyano-teenager inside the house. He’s not even goodlooking for me to enjoy watching him. I’m so mean!!!!!!!!
11. Rona
Just like Jolas, hindi ko sya maramdaman. All I know is that her father’s in jail. Kasama din sya dun sa graduation. Yun lang! Hindi sya exciting. She should strip naked one of these days or have sex with one of the guys for me to notice her. Kahit oral lang okay na.
10. Nicole
She’s pretty and all. She seems nice. She’s also easy on the eyes. Goody-goody. She should also do something big to have more screen time.
9. Linda
I didn’t like her at first because on the pilot, the camera had a close-up of her and her skin wasn’t that good. Sorry lang! Maganda siya sa malayo. Fargenic! Ahahaha! It’s great that they did that twirling baton acrobatic churva. At least, medyo naging bida siya dun. At umepal na naman si Jieriel sa pag-iyak. May katangahan moment din siya when she asked, "Dalawang beses ba dapat nagpapatuli?"
8. Kevin
Hot. Nice. Well-Behaved. Boring. Buti nalang gwapo siya.
7. Valerie
She’s very pretty. I think anyone who has a foreign blood is good looking. Anyway, I just noticed that a lot of the housemates have foreign blood. What’s with that? Parang hindi na PINOY Big Brother ah! Hindi na nabigyan ng chance yung mga totoong Pinoy talaga. Going back to Valerie, I really thought she’d be this bitchy type of housemate because well, she has the right to be and I think she can carry that image. She’s the prettiest in the batch. But in all fairness to her, she’s very nice and very friendly. She’s also soft-spoken which I truly love. Hindi tulad ni Jieriel! Ahahahaha!
6. Josef
This guy looks a bit like Geoff Eigenmann He’s cute. Hindi naman conyo kahit taga-La Salle at sobrang kasundo niya sina Alex at Kevin. I like him especially last week when he and Robi still had the best buds forever task. Seemed gayish! Love it.
5. Alex
The first time I saw him I thought he was gay because he resembles Uma. But then Luis said that Alex is currently in a relationship with a Filipina. So I guess he’s not gay. He was so funny when he thought that Josef would really circumcise him the traditional Filipino way. Man if I was in his place, I’d be screaming my lungs out and get out of the house right away! He was also a very good actor when he did that April Fool’s prank.
MY BIG FOUR:
4. Beauty
She’s really funny. I always look for her whenever I watch. She always has her moments which make me love her even more. She’s not that pretty but she has charm written all over her. She apparently had a scandal of some sort which made her school prevent her from graduating. Sad.
3. Ejay
Two words: ORGASM INCARNATE!
2. Robi
I sooooo love him! What I like in a guy changes from time to time but now I’m into that geeky-nerdy-shy-introvert-laidback-simple type so I guess Robi fits in that category perfectly. He never had a girlfriend. Gay? I hope. Ahahah! And that smile!!!!!!!!!!! Gorgeous smile. Never fails to melt my well-shaped scrotum. Kidding.
1. Priscilla
This girl is my Big Winner. From the moment I learned she’s deaf, I knew that she’s my bet all the way. She’s very charismatic. Sobrang sexy! She failed to be Miss Teen Philippines because she wasn’t able to hear the buzzer. Laughtrip mhen! Plus, I can do a mean impression of her. “May problem kasi ako sa ear” Harhar! There was also this heartbreaking episode when she started to cry when she told Jieriel her worries of being deaf like not having a job, a man who would love her, etc. I hope she wins.
Random Notes:
*Next week yung sa mga parents naman nila. Joke.
*Ang tagal ng April 15. Kating-kati na singit ko. Mariah gained her 18th #1 single in the US with Touch My Body. Wuhoo!
*My mom just bought my 5-year-old niece her own cellphone. I completely disagreed with this because she’s just too young. I told my mom and my sister not to buy her any gadgets yet because she should learn to love first the simple things in life.
*I went to Trinoma last Tuesday for the first time. I love their PowerBooks!
*I saw a lot of gay novels at National Book Store. Pero puta, ang mamahal! More or less 700php!
*Michael Johns’ performance last Wednesday on American Idol was just amazing. The sexiest voice ever!
*Jesse McCartney has a new song, Leavin’. I love everything about this song especially the “G5, G5” part. Nice! It was produced by The Dream who also did Rihanna’s Umbrella and of course Mariah’s Touch My Body. The critics love it. He’s starting to do R&B records now. It’s a great departure form his uber-pop songs before. I also love the video. I never knew he could be THAT hot! You get a glimpse of his pits (oh, fetish!). Disney Channel (which was a Jesse McCartney-favored network) wouldn’t play it because they thought the vid was suggestive and a little too much for their young viewers. Anyway here it is:
