The Diary of a Hopeless Romantic

MY LAST ENTRY IN LJ EVER

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 05:11:01 GMT

THIS IS A DISCLAIMER TO ALL WHO HAVE FOUND MY BLOG. this blog is simply on the internet for documentation reasons. maybe, one day when i'm 40 i'll come back to this blog, look at the old entries and laugh. but for everyone else, please please 'wag nyo na ikalat. i find this blog embarassing.

i found the need to post this disclaimer becuase of the recent influx of "per chance" bloghoppers who happen to ACTUALLY know me in real life. i have received many comments about "ang cute" or "you're such a hopeless romantic" or even worse "hahaha emo." so there, don't link my blog anymore or even spread it around. thanks.

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

pinch me

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 14:13:10 GMT

grabe, what did i do to deserve something as wonderful as you? wow. i'm so lucky.

PINCH ME! then again, don't pinch me cuz if this is a dream i never ever want to wake up again.

got cut for the first time while shaving today. the only thing my dad could say was "welcome [to the world of men]" i presume... he assumed i was still half asleep which was half true.

i'm piled up wth school shit to do and hopefully i can attend to that tomorrow.

i also got home in record time today... 35 mins. hahaha... my average road speed was prolly 60 o_O. ang sarap, fastest ever since tapos na ung some road constructions sa pasig.

lastly, i had to open this damn computer around seven times to get it running. it's currently still open and i don't plan to put on the cover cuz i might screw something up. i fixed the RAM card... apparently it wasn't jammed in enought so that the pc made a humming sound to indicate that the monitor wasn't receiving any signals. then when i finally got it running the modem wasn't detected so i had to open it again. dangit! well now its working... *muffled curses*

i'll have my Thailand kwento posted when i get my shit done. T__T

whirlwind thai romance...

Fri, 24 Dec 2004 12:14:02 GMT

i'm leaving for thailand in 12 hours. friggn raf a.k.a, gay beetch (my personal favorite term of endearment) said that thailand is known for two things: crocodiles and naked women. i should stick my head daw into both... X__X

neways... if i do get involved in a whirlwind romace X__X haha shit this is so screwed up.... nantitrip lang ako. sana hindi transvestite o__O. NYAHAHAHA i crack myself up!

topic 1: my dad's domestication

my dad is usually overseas working in some obscure plain, analyzing rocks. he switches venues so often that i can hardly keep up. anyway, for the past month or little over a month my dad has been jobless because he chooses to be. turns out, he is waiting for a job opening in thailand, he really likes the project there and because of this he has rejected many over job offers. so for the first time in a long time my dad is stuck with us. ayos lang, i have a tennis partner (na nilalampaso ko na~ sorry dad, age has caught up with you~) and i have someone to share green humor with. and when we do, my mom and my sister just roll their eyes. but really, what am i getting at? basically this:

ADDICT SA LOVERS IN PARIS TATAY KO!

he a confirmed avid fan of lovers in Paris and is gosh darn proud of it... kabisado nya ung kwento and everything wahahaha! there domesticated na talaga dad ko. he might not want to go to work anymore he said he'll just take care of his little garden in our backyard and watch Lovers in Paris when he's not. Just a few days ago i even caught him watching the Buzz. OMFG! he actually gets entertained by boy abunda and miss Kris Aquino.

topic 2: ~Chesa~ (i'd adorn the name with more ACII symbols but that would just be really geeky)

ok it's official, i'm single pero may nililigawan ako... conversations about my status will no longer go something like this:

Interrogator: Erik, may girlfriend ka na ba?
Erik: wala
Interrogator: may nililigawan?
Erik: wala
Intrrogator: may gf ka na ba dati?
Erik: (nanliliit) wala eh.
Interrogator: BAKHHHHHHHHHET?! seryoso ka ba?

(losely based on around 8 conversations that went like this)

other conversations ended in laughter and/or involved the term NGSB (no girlfriend since birth) or the interrogator accusing me of lying or pulling their leg.

anyway, Chesa is really special... she is the prettiest girl i ever did see and she has an adorable persona to match. a day never goes by that she doesn't cross my mind~

Sun, 05 Dec 2004 12:20:17 GMT

UPDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!

hay nako nakakatamad na mag-update pero heto ako at nag-uupdate.

i saw rivermaya play last night... nakakaaliw si rico blanco, performer talaga. i saw chesca garcia in the crowd and her face is one of a cherub.

next, i fell asleep wwhile i was having my hair cut and it turned out shorter than i wanted so pinatuloy ko na... clean-cut nako, hindi na long hair. ikaw nga "nawala na ungpretty boy effect" sabi ng dad ko. sheeesh... i wish it was there to begin with~

and lastly... masaya na walang pasok ngunit malungkot pagkat marami ang nasalanta ng bagyo...

di pa pala un last, ito pa: i feel uneasy kasi wala talaga akong ginawa nung weekend... alam mo un? ung parang dapat may ginagawa kang importante pero hindi mo ginagawa? anyway, i dunno kung meron nga akong dapat gawin pero sana wala. napaka-laid back ng buhay ko.

next, i just found out that we gonna be on an airplane on christmas day en route to thailand... turns out we'll be spending christmas and new year there.

hmmmm... mag-cchristmas na at wala pa rin akong minamahal~ sob sob~ T__T.

should i be doing something more with my life? gaaaaah... pucha i feel like i want to sleep for an eternity (sleep lang, it's not a metaphor for death)

You Are the Peacemaker

9

You are emotionally stable and willing to find common ground with others.

Your friends and family often look to you to be the mediator when there is conflict.

You are easy going and accepting. You take things as they come.

Avoding conflict at all costs, you're content when things are calm.

What number are you?

You are Painting.
You are one of the most versitile of the arts,
capable of creating nearly anything
(abstraction, realiism, even narrative) the
other arts pride themselves in. There is some
aspect of you which every other art form
intimately understands.

What form of art are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

You Are From the Sun

Of all your friends, you're the shining star.
You're dramatic - loving attention and the spotlight.
You're a totally entertainer and the life of the party.
Watch out! The Sun can be stubborn, demanding, and flirty.
Overall, you're a great leader and great friend. The very best!

What Planet Are You From?

hmmm... is the sun a planet? 'di ba star un? wuuuuurd...

nagmumuktol...

Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:48:51 GMT

damnit... i miss you so much already. there isn't a day where you don't cross my mind... in fact, i think about you almost every hour... sometimes even when i'm asleep. i usually find myself vandalizing items by writing your name on them. i can't help it. you've rocked my world.

the irony here is i haven't told you how i feel about you. the fear of rejection is so great...

shit, i feel so empty without you.

Thu, 11 Nov 2004 09:59:14 GMT

wag na wag mong sasabihin na hindi mo nadama itong pag-ibig kong handang ibigay na ang kalayaan mo...

ok i'm registered

Fri, 05 Nov 2004 14:13:25 GMT

after hours of lining up and following protocols awkwardly posted on manila papers... i'm finally registered for the second sem. still, i'm totally frustrated with myself 'cuz i only got 16 units instead of 19. i wanted to overload hehehe. problem is i listed the wrong class code for one of my subjects dagnabbbit! anyway at least that's done! i guess i'll just pre-rog (ask for a teachers prerogative) so that i can get some of the subjects i wasn't formally able to enroll. so waht is the grand total of my tuition this year? 5,465 pesos.

after all that pila-pila shit... i encountered some major traffic just after exiting C5 and onto to the main route towards the home. from UP to C5 in pasig it only took me 15 mins (hehehe kaskasero) but it took me another 45 mins just to get home. to put this into perspective, the distance of the 15 drive is probably thrice the length of the 45 minute part. argh! frustrating!

hmmm... what else? ah yes! i think there's been a "patama" is someones journal about me... it's not in livejournal though. dont worry guys hehehe. lalang... let's just say "natamaan" talaga ako... as in SAPUL!

next, movies. i watched White Chicks on DVD! great stuff... the Wayans Brothers really made good impressions of rich white hot females (Paris Hilton proto-types). i also finally got to watch dodgeball... twas alright, prolly at par with Zoolander. FINALLY, the best movie i watched recently: SUPER SIZE ME! OMFG! eye-opener grabe. after watching this i think it will be very hard for me to step into a McDonald's restaurant again or any other fast food chain for that matter. BASTA PEEPS (kung sino man nagbabasa ng aking god-forsaken journal) YOU MUST SEE SUPER SIZE ME preferably the DVD copy with the deleted scenes cuz the "smoking fry" kicks ass!

well un lang! whew. long update tagal na kasi eh!

migraine...

Mon, 01 Nov 2004 23:17:59 GMT

GRABE! i'm totally spent! my body hurts... my head hurts (partly because i woke up early today).

well, today is november 2 and i've been busy for oct. 31 and nov. 1

so what have i done? i've been a:

Kargador

Hardinero

Waiter

Baby-Sitter

Driver

basically, an all-around utusan for Nov.1 kasi kami ang nag-hohost ng annual event na ito. i also had to babysit my SUPER kulit cousin who's 3 years old (my cousins slept over). and she's always used to getting her way... ALWAYS. i had to carry loads of kung anu-ano. mga ladder, food warmers, chairs, tables, tents, basta marami. i had to set up chairs and tales, and set-up food warmers too. lastly, i had to drive our sedan back and forth between our house and the cemetery. but our honda civic wasn't the only thing i had to drive. out of sheer need, i had to drive an old Pajero too... and get this, there was a ldder between me and the passenger seat so that i technically had no use for the right side-mirror and the rear-view! and... AND i also couldn't find the busina!

anyway, my parents told me that they're totally proud of me for doing all that work and giving in to their requests. napaka-responsible ko raw. but damn, that was one heck of a week-end.

holding back...

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 05:24:41 GMT

You're the color blue. You have the three c's in
life--you're cool, caring and confident.
Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally
attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic,
but that makes life all the better. You're an
imaginative person who loves sleeping and
dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you
excell in school. You're everybody's favorite,
and this is because you have this undefined
richness in your personality and attitude.
Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very
intelligent. Along with the fact that you're
conservative, you're worried about the
environment. So basically, you're a generous,
dependable and devoted--just the kind of person
everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if
everybody in the world were like you?

What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!)

Fri, 08 Oct 2004 11:13:16 GMT

hell week is almost over... i can almost taste it: SEMBREAK!

this'll be fun, well mostly fun. i just want to spend more time with her. she's like a ball of sunshine... i just feel absolutely at ease and happy around her, as if i'm floating.

i love everything about her. especially the way people naturally gravitate toward her and she can almost instantly make them smile.

ok 'nuff bout that. I'VE FINALLY RECEIVED A COPY OF THE MOVIE I STARRED IN... at may reandom memorabilia pa. the crew owes me alot and they know it.

what else? i've been absolutely busy lately... in fact i crammed my kas1 project the other night 'til 3:40 am... and that was a groupwork!

lalang... what else? hmmm... looks like ok naman grades ko, mukhang may pag-asa pako mag College Scholar/Dean's List-er.

ano pa ba? people have finally accepted the length of my hair and some even like it. yey. mahaba na kasi.

hmmm... that's all i can think of.

oh! yun! PENDIX, do you have a CD copy of ur film? trade tayo or movie marathon one of these days with the whole gang! sembreak naman eh!

my upsca app life

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 13:23:40 GMT

here is an article i plan to submit for my org's newsletter:

the story so far... (isang kwento ng UPSCA app)

the sem's almost over and i feel really screwed cuz my sig sheet is still completely bare... gah! *parinig* sana hindi ito maging grounds para hindi ako tanggapin *parinig* hehe.

*dream sequence starts*

imaginary interviewer: so erik... kamusta buhay app?
erik: hmmm... ayos naman. nag-eenjoy naman ako.
imaginary interviewer: mahirap ba?
erik: matakaw sa oras at tsaka nakaka-guilty pag hindi ko na-fu-fulfill ung mga request ng mga mem... pero ayos lang.
imaginary interviewr: ano pinaka-gusto mo sa UPSCA?
erik: ung PS2 ni CHATZ!!! joke.
imaginary interviewer: ooooooookay. sige... PS2 ni chatz... eh ano pa?
erik: ung gitara... ung electric fan. hehehe.
imaginary interviewer: haaaaaaay nako...

*end dream sequence*

but seriously... i'm really "falling for UPSCA" (shucks pag 'di pako natanggap sa mga sipsip ko ewan ko na). the people are absolutely super uber nice. they really accept me for who i am... and in an org i guess that's what really counts. you're looking for acceptance, a tambayan, and people to hang with. i found that in UPSCA and i'm really glad that it's the first org i'm applying for.

so how did i decide to join UPSCA? well, i first heard about it from Ate Chot... i think even before i passed the UPCAT she was already raving about it and later on was convincing my sister and i to join. my sister by the way is Mich Angeles... also an app for '04-'05 (batch-ta kasama kita). what motivated me even more to join was that i already knew a couple of mems including Ate Bernie (ang-aking-editor-for-this-article-na-hindi-ko-matanggihan-kasi-kabarkada-siya-ng-ate-ko-at-dahil-masyado-akong-mabait... whew... naubos hininga ko), Ate Anna (si 'insan), si Jemai (dahil kay Ate Anna), si Ken (dahil kay Ate Anna ulit), at un nga si Ate Chot (ka-berks ni ate bernie and ate mich).

i have to admit that at first i was really apprehensive to join because of my notion about religious orgs... i always thought that members of orgs like this were really weird. weird in a way that they wouldn't able to finish a sentence without mentioning God or perhaps weird in a way that they raised their hands and closed their eyes everytime a joyous religious song was played. not that i have anything against this, it's just that i wouldn't be too comfortable doing that... peace po! (but come to think of it, medyo weirdo nga ang mga UPSCAn... but in a good way. peace ulit!) anyway, i totally loss all bias as soon as i got to know more and more people within the org and before i knew it... i was having a blast.

ok, one last topic... the activities.
app's welcome - a first glimpse at the pagka-kalog of this org... really fun.
the cell sessions - asteeg. sino ba ang mga nag-isip ng mga ito? nakakaaliw. a useful outlet in expressing and relating one's self to other cellmates with matching pampa-kwela activity.
the FA's - i can't comment much cuz i've only attended 2... whoops... did i say 2? i meant 5, yeah i attended 5. ^__^ so far, all "5" FA's i attended have been fun. especially the Talent's night where my cell, bai and cell, won best talent. Talipapa was also fun and insightful.
1st gel-ing - booooooo! they crushed our eggs and tore our poster. booooooooooooo! hehehe... a taste of the very manipulative UPSCAN mems and their flawless acting jobs. wahahahahaha. great fun!

*dream sequence*

imaginary interviewer: so itutuloy mo pa ba application mo maski delinquente/pasaway ka?
erik: oo naman! sana matanggap talaga ako. *hint hint*
imaginary interviewer: eto ang mahiwagang salamin sa harap mo. ano ang sasabihin mo sa sarili mo?
erik: OHMEGADZ!!! ikaw pla si boy abunda! pa-autograps naman oh.

*end dream sequence*

this has been erik angeles, signing out. WAZZUP WAZZUP... 'eto ka!
