"In three words I can sum up everything
    I've learned about life: it goes on."
                            - Robert Frost

Writing as they say helps a person reflect on things.
But this isn't writing.
It's blogging. Hohoho.

Since I have took a class in Repertory Philippines,
I never understood why my veteran theater friends feel so awed
to see Lea Salonga.
But now, I understand, thanks to ValCon.:D

I had an interview today with David M. Consunji.
I was so calm and nonchalant upon arriving at the DMCI office.
I was even wiping my sweat from the walk I took from the MRT station. Haha.
(I thought it was very very near. Haha.)
My thought was apparently not reality.

But, OMG. Val, hahaha.
I just realized that I was really really "star struck" with your grandpapa!
It sounds silly of me but.. Haha.
I nearly bursted down into tears when I saw him.
Ganun pala yung feeling!
I have to even recompose myself in a split
second to say who I was, as he was asking my name.

I think this has just marked one instant in my life
that I would never ever ever forget.
It was something.

In one part of the talk,
he asked me if I was feeling the need of CHANGE.
Of course I was!
People who knows me knows that
I often talk about change and ways how to do it!

But when we talked about the topic..
I felt my head starting to disappear.
Like.. "..."
(Nice one Sunshine.)
I just nodded and said, "Yes, CHANGE."
I'm such a loser. Hohoho.-_-

People that day commonly mistook me as a journalist. Haha.
I am so not civil engineering material.
How can I get myself hired if I don't look the part! Hahaha.
So wrong.
That's why I asked for a picture with him.:D
I told him I'll show this pciture when I'll be applying for a job.:D


                      DM and Me

People calling him DM makes me feel he's part of a mafia gang.
"Psst.. Pinapatawag ka ni DM."
See what I mean?

I asked DM what was his greatest achievement in life.
He smikred and replied, "Making my wife happy."
Hihi.
He's such a jolly person. Very grandpapa like.:D
(I miss my grandpa. RIP.:))
I was also lucky to meet Mrs. DM.:D
Both were live and kicking at 87 and 85 respectively.

Although I'd love to share more,
I have to stop since I think my typing looks long now.

I can't believe I was seeing DM for REAL.
It marked to me that he was indeed a LEGEND of his own.
Thank you thank you Val for that experience. :)

    "Idle minds are the Devil's workshop."

I'm back at blogdrive.
My http://petals.i.ph is confusing my senses using mac.

Although I like i.ph esthetically, it's hard to manage it on a mac.T__T
Oh well.
Hello blogdrive, lucky you.

****

This is not how I envisioned my holy week to be.
My penitence cometh.
I am paying for my sins.
5 deadlines on Monday.
3 very looong exams and 2 very looong papers to finish.
I'm not exaggerating about it being looooong.
'It' refers to my deadlines, not some other 'it'.
(Goodness, what ever Sunshine.x_x)

All my family members are out to paradise.
I can't believe they left me. Haha.
Although it's fine by me.

I'm stuck here with school stuff to do
while watching our dog have a nap.
(I think he's bored too.:D)

Lucky for me, I've got bunnies to rawr for me.:)



Oh, and while being or trying to be holy this week, please pray for me.
Thanks.:)

"Amuse me."

The carnival.
Crowded, noisy, exciting-- but most of all, magical.
Too magical that you won't notice you're alone in this world and constantly bored.

Random thoughts of bored Sunshine:

    + I want an emo boyfriend that dresses perfectly emo and punky.. then
we'd conquer the whole damn world with dreams. (I am soo emo right now. Ew.x_X)

    + Loving the term "chii-mo"(chee-mow), meaning chessy emo.
Weee. Heard it from Spike.:)

    + I am craving to be creative.
But my tools have all rusted away.
I'm just waiting for school work to consume me again.

    + Someone photograph me.

    + I'm still thanking God for passing me in all my subjects so far in life.
God is good-- all the time.:)

    + Music keeps me going.
But I'd love to have someone beside me.

    + Getting to higher years in college limits you
to getting to know good looking or interesting guys.

    + Golf is not for thinkers.
Click link to play: http://www.matchpractice.com/game/

    + I've been craving to watch a movie.
But I can't find some people or someone to come along.
My schedule isn't working too good for me.x_X

    + I HATE BEING BORED.
This is not the way to live life.
It's the worst feeling.
But it's one thing we've all got.

It's Not You; It's Me. (Liar)

When Will the Petals Fall?

"What is a moment?
A moment is 'an action that
turns an object around a point.' "
                    -Toshi Ichinose, Mete Sozen

A moment.
..is all I need from you.

I need a prayer novena.
    I'm serious.
I think I'm going to fail ES11.T__T
A major I shouldn't fail.:(

My finals is on Thursday!
And if I fail (God and demons forbid)..

I'm considering to be a..
flight stewardess..



Uhh.. a doctor?



Or maybe a professional golfer.



And yes, they aren't great pictures because
I have NO plans in failing this stupid subject
that I won't be even using on my practice!

I need your prayer.T___T
No, make that a novena.
..Please? *puppy eyes*

When You're Sad and You Know It, Frown Your Face. clap clap clap

"We keep talking about
the new as if the old was so bad."

TRINOMA, the new Ayala mall around the block, or,
well, literally infront of SM North's the Block.

(Taken infornt of Trinoma's 2nd floor parking lot.)
As if intended for the developers
to laugh evily for their success, God forbid.x_X

Competition again is in the air, and boy do we love it.>:)

My little sister, Star, Mom and I checked out Trinoma
today since it was their 'hushed' opening.
Not that glamorous I say since the venue isn't that
finished and polished yet.

(They still got a building left to build! <left side>)

And since it was a 'hush' opening, the
mall wasn't so crowded-- which is always
a good thing if you want to go to a mall.=D

I'd love to see this mall 100% working.
Krispy Kreme's going to open beside their cinemas!:)
(No more hassle to go to the Fort for yummy doughnuts!)

Ate some ice cream at Dairy Queen.
Loved the "Served upside down or it's FREE!" slogan.^__^

(Drop drop drop!=D)

Gotta give them credit.
The cream's really thick and rich.=)

Timezone was open already and had a free carousel
ride for the whole day.
Ofcourse, I took the opportunity! Haha.:p

Notice my sister, Star, is not smiling.
Well, she apparently was in a bad mood the whole time
because we just 'dragged' her to come with us.
I can't believe she frowned the whole time.
Haha.
I mean, that's hard work right?^__^;

Cinemas were open too.
Shrek 3 was showing!
(Or is it really supposed to be showing? Haha.
I'm not so updated now because of school.x_x)

More pictures in my multiply.:)
Click click click!:p

And they have a nice 'park' like atmosphere on their roof top.
It was a new feel in the area.=)
I didn't even notice the road of Mindanao Avenue
infront of me as I walked out of the mall.

A plus for the mall also is that it's connected
directly to the MRT Station,
unlike in SM North which you would have to walk
around 400 meters to get there (and die),
or take a jeep from the MRT (and still die because of traffic).x_X

Am I too bias now?
SM should perform a miracle.

Oh gosh, I'm cruel.x_X
Customer's always right!:p
(Shut up Sunshine.)

I still love SM.:)

This Could Change the Face of Television

"So, what can you do for your country?"

WAAAAA!
I didn't register for today's election!:|
Felt sad not contributing
to "change." (If that's even possible.)

Hai.. 2010 Election, wait for me!
(Oh God, imagine what age I'll be in!T__T)

***
I promise myself to move to another blog site
once summer classes are over. Rawr.

I am soo passing my class.
I better.

PS. Don't illusion yourself to hot
summer guys in summer classes,
they don't usually happen. *siGh*

Took Scuba Diving for PE,
and you guessed that right,
there was none.=|

***
Check out a friends blog:
Joseph Pascual's explicite blog rocks! :)

And try visiting this cute little site,
which is oh so full of cute little games,
www.orisinal.com

I'm sure you'll like it.;p

"Say thank you to your fathers.
Without them, there wouldn't be mothers.;p"
-My Dad, Richard Tan

It's Mother's Day!
And I sure did wake up 6am-ish
to prepare my Mom breakfast in bed.=D

Uhhh, although my original plan
was to "make" the breakfast meal,
I ended up telling my little sister to
tell our maid to prepare the meal--ermm, in order for
me to sleep a bit more.x_x'
(Hehe.)
Which made me just think how hard it is to be a mom..
by cooking early for your kids!
I am SOOO not prepared for that.
Hurrah for being single.=D

Visited my Grandmother today too in
Pampanga.=)

***

My pre-paid's going to expire today!
I have around P60 to finish still.x__x
And I'm blaming my ES11 subject for
making me too studious to text.:|
(Or maybe there aren't
anyone texting me already.:|)

Nahhh, I'm just a lazy person to reply texts!:p

Someone Loves Me!

"There's always a choice."

Watched Spiderman 3 atlast!
Weeee!=D
It IS a great movie!
Story wise, it had depth.
And ofcourse, the cinematography and music
was just a perfect blend.

To tell you the truth, I really didn't
like the past Spiderman series..
It was too cliche for me..
Soo, I was really surprised that I like the third
sequel.=) Really thumbs up!=)
Money spent was worth every cent.=)

Oh, and I left my cellphone today at home.:|
Had an exam early morning..
(Too preoccupied I guess.)

So, as my Mom told me,
Dad was so worried because I wasn't
replying to their texts. ^__^;
He was even telling mom this night to
drive to my school and find me while
reporting my lost to the police or something.

Exaggerating?
I am sOoo not.
Really had to say sorry for not telling
my parents that I would be out after my exam.
Sorry Mom and Dad.x__x
