On being sick...

Its saturday morning of the long bonifacio day weekend. Sad to say that unlike the rest of the world, I've spent the first 3 days of this blessed break in bed. I'm sick, since tuesday's math LT.

I was perfectly fine that morning, but when the sun crept up into the sky at that certain point where it shine a specific ray of light specifically at me, it hit me. The sudden change in temperture from that cold early morning (my math class is at 7:30 am in tuesdays) to the baking heat of the sun plus the math test gave a cold attack like none I've ever experienced before. (My blockmates can tell you that :D ) I was sick the entire tuesday but got better during my last class which was in an airconditioned room, well enough to do some library exploring.

I was all better on wednesday, mostly because of the monster amounts of vitamin C in the form of the god like berocca tablets. On wednesdays i have PE. I'm enrolled in a running class, so thats pretty tiring. Those who have taken it before know what I mean. I ran the entire thingy our coach had prepared and went home pretty pooped out. Then i heard, no classes tom :D

Wow, no classes, but there was a typhoon! supposedly stronger than the dreaded Milenyo. I think Pagasa heeded my advice in giving it such a sissy name (no offence to people out there who share the name) My Milenyo entry :D

Although it was harldy felt here in metro manila, in the provinces was where the hurting was.

Thursday morning, and the cold attack returned. I was to tired to do anything but stay in bed and play FFXII and periodically passing out from fatigue and/or eye strain/ cerebral seizure.

Friday was like thursday, put into extreme mode all topped of with a helping of Happy feet :D

That night i finally told my parents that im sick, and now its official, I am Sick! Cough, colds, mild fever, the typical "im sick" scenario.

Well, sickness is somtimes attributed to misfotune. A series of events beyond the victim's control which causes him/her to become sick. The Environment and the changes it undergoes so that it may just upset one's inner balance and send him/her into an undesirable state. The sun and its stupid miggy hating powers started this!

Another way to get sick is by being extremely stupid. Even with the knowledge thjat you are vulnerable to viral attack or body failures one still continues to do things that will put one's health at risk. AIDS and "unmoderated" sex is a good example, me tiring myself out in last wednesday's PE is another.

I for one, abhor being sick.

I hate being sick, especially on a vacation like this! but i also hate being sick on days when theres work to be done. I'm not really a fan of cutting classes. I have a fear that i might miss something important and that i cant always rely on other people to help me make up for my misfotunes. Sickness hempers one's productivity, nuff' said.

In the old testament, when people got sick in those times it was considered a punishment imposed by God on sinners. Being productive back then was an important thing, a time when you literally reap what you sow. Remember the exodus? the ten plagues? or the various mini stories in the bible like that one guy becoming blind or leprosy and stuff like that? The afflicted were not able to participate in society properly and were either shunned as "dead weight", being unable to work their weight in productive output or "untouchables", people damned by God. Good thing we have doctors now dont we?

It is funny how some cultures in the past think sickness are symptoms of demonic possesions. In a way, i can see why. Other than God punishing you for being "sinful" sickness can be the physical manifestation of *ahem* not so good beings byond our comprehension. Instead of tempting you to do wrong, they do wrong on to you. Scary? :D

Sickness is a test of faith, like life itself

There were no medicines back then, aside from the usual plague, diesease and unexplainable viral out break, common colds could KILL! There are porbably a bunch of famous historic figures back then that could not continue their Legacy or what not because of sickness. Alexander the Great for one. He did not die in battle like many a great general of his time, but he died of a sickness he contracted. A Fever i believe. After His untimely death, Alexander's empire was destroyed as his generals fought over the spoils of war. Imagine If he did not get sick? How far would the Macedonian empire have reached? What kind of ruler could have alexander become? Maybe sickness is a history's tool for writing itself.

The world knows what being sick can do, extinction the extreme consequence of sickness. Thats why there is the ever evolving science of medicine and all the good people out there whom devote 10 or so years of the science to contirbute and practice it. Like modern day Jedi Knights ,doctors protect world health from word disease and the Ultimate zombie holocaust.

On crushes...

hahahh, anu toh? "on beauty" spoof? anyway...

On crushes, im sure everyone has had at least 1"real" friggin' crush in his or her life. Im talking about a real crush, not the pipichigin na crush "uy pare hot yan" o yung "he's so cute!" knda crushes. Not one of those "pangarap lang crushes". The one you see really often and  talk to in the most normal way possible and at the same time contain everything inside you. The one thats so near yet so far (forgive me, ang cliche na nun).

The person is your friend, a close one or a "potentially" close one. You want to treat them different from everyone else but its so hard. "He/She cant find out" you tell yourself, "dapat d halata"... So you live together and either grow ever closer or drift farther apart. This all depends of course sa "diskarte mo" or factors in the social context both of you are in. But mostly on "diskarte", "dapat may diskarte", "dapat magaling dumiskarte". So its mostly always your fault for everything that happens, you can blame this, you can blame that but it all boils down to the fact that everything affects you so much because you have a "real crush"

There are 3 kinds of people in the world

1. 
   
   Mga magaling dumiskarte
   
   
2. 
   
   Mga bano dumiskarte
   
   
3. 
   
   Mga di alam na bano pala sila dumiskarte

which am i? take a guess :D *hint* im single and loving it :D sausage fest for 2 please!

Therefore the world of a person with a real crush is turned by the wonderful power of "diskarte". Your friggin' world revolves around your friggin' crush na "dinadamoves" mo. "dinadamoves" is another term for diskarte, and (i have just discovered this year) is "chugchug". Though these terms look like they fall into "men's locker room slang", women are also gulity of "chugchuging", they just have sweeter terms for it :D

Whichever of the 3 types of people you fall under there are only two consequences of "dumadamoves".

1. 
   
   You win, kayo na! bastah maging kayo! everything beyond that (breaking up etc) is not a result of your "chugchug". In a relationship things are different ok? bastah they are, i wouldnt know, but ive been told they are :D "on crushes" nga lang db?
   
   
2. 
   
   You lose, these include but are not limited to : "friends na lang tayo", "your not my type", "your like a brother/sister", "you?!?", magkalabuans, walkouts, neverseethemagainiosis and others. The point is, you dont get your goal.

All 3 have more or less an equal chance of arriving at any of the 2 above results.

People tend to forget sometimes that your crush is a person too and that they too have a world in which revolves around sumthing, may it be God, school, money, career, or "diskarte". Thats why when it comes to crushes and diskarte, kahit gaano ka kagaling, gwapo, maganda, mabait, matalino, pangit, baho, masama o bobo... Diskate-ing will bring you more or less an unpredictable result, think of it as a game of "Kapamilya Deal or no Deal". the Briefcases are your every crucial "chugchug" choices which may bring you closer or nearer, the banker is a rough representation of outside forces which are results of your decisions (society, feelings ng crush mo etc) they often make you chose. "deal or no deal?" "Go or stop" "more or not". Kris is a filthy freaking rich woman na nang dun lang, d kompleto ang gameshow o dramang emo kapag wala si Kris :D And thats how the world goes round

"Life is like opening a briefcase, you expect to find money, but more often than not find an ironically placed pair of underwear" - miggy de leon

In a sense, its kinda fun having a crush that powerful. All the daydreaming, the "diskarte" planning, the "diskarte plan" in motion, score! :D How your life revolves around that one crush and how enjoyable it can get. But there is a saying:

"If a person can give so much happiness, they can also give you so much of sadness" - miggy de leon

(im like so inspired OMG)

so if you win/ are winning or lose/ are loosing creates happyhappyjoyjoy or not

So its a big risk, you bet your happiness not to mention your relationship with that person on some "chugchug".. why? Is it worth it? "There are times when i feel like that person is worth anything...". a typical emo answer :D

Personally, i miss having a crush.... "the risk" has been driving me a way lately... i dont like taking risks, i dont like focusing on one person, i dont like chasing after someone who would not do the same for me, i dont like wasting my time ( as harsh as it may sound )....

On crushes...

Is it worth it?

Sembreak starts NOW!

DAMN it!! SEMBREAK NA!!

Had my final final today! finished it as fast as feasibly possible.. hahaha. It was PS2 (not the console), Introduction to physics, lab. As usual, late nanaman si ma'm. Petra finished her finals na rin today, it was nice to see ya today PAT!! havent seen much of ya 4 the past 2 weeks...

Start na! yey, it was a hands on exam kinda thing where there were "stations" per table, and we each had a go at them. Ma'm divided us into 20s and we rotated every 2 minutes, looked at the set up an answered a question or 2. HIRAP NG IBA MEHN!! FREAKING CRAP!!

like, how can i fill up a table of data based on a diagram smaller than an 1x1 ID picture in less than 2 minutes! (i forgot every formula i needed to remember, hahah, d kasi nag aral tanga!!) nag copyahan nga kame ni bryant but to no avail.

Some stations were designated "rest stations" with stupid questions like : "how are you feeling right now?", "describe yourself, which physical and emotional aspect would you like to change?" and the best talaga, the BONUS "what have you learned about yourself or god in this course?" bwahahahahah

Buti nalang first 20 ako,,, i couldnt stand to wait for more than an hour...

everyone left me *sob* uwi na them agad!! waaaaa

my random number is SOSS 374, i can kiss ES goodbye! chem na toh! if francis' theory about how natsci blocks are formed still applies next sem then kami kami parin! hahah

Hung around with francis the rest of the afternoon. I watched him finish our Lit poster project. GOOD JOB FRANCIS!! hahaha, fellow Bboy !!

As im typing this, somewhere in katipunan a party is goin on.... Yes, its the 1 BS PSY party. Francis told me that it wasn't exclusive "kailangan mu nga lang magbayad ng entrance fee" i dont know if that was a joke or not hahahaha :D

I find it kinda cool how BS PSY blocks are really close, i wish the AB MEC blocks would become closer as we start taking up major subjects together..

2loy kaya batangas thing ng H1? text me guys! i jus need to know the date and check if pde me

Im goin to spend some Days with the Lord, staffing for a34, yey! GO KATE!! GO JOSH!! Im really excited for it, gonna pack as soon as i post this. Ill be gone from oct20-22, haha 3days of bonding with fellow dazers! and my first time to staff!! yey!! im lookin forward to this!

Almost there....

finals are almost over...

MA11 and Lit 13 went pretty well

Im not so confident about Fil11

Sulitin ang sembreak! start it out right!

MAGPASALAMAT KA!

Crazy week! Crazy weather! I mean, why would you name a typhoon with such a powerful name! Milenyo = Millenium = 1000 years! (it screams YU gI OH i swear!) I know PAGASA names these storms by the alphabet, but..... Milenyo was the worst typhoon to hit the Metro in a decade (real fact to maga tsong!). I have the weirdest feeling it was because of this name, this powerful name which gave this typhoon such... power! IF you HAD to name it with an "M", a milder name would have done it! like... lets say "Miggy", i bet typhoon "Miggy" wouldn't be able to kill anything!! (bading kasi!)

SURELY PAGASA knows this!

As per PAGASA tradisyon, the next typhoon will be named using the next letter in the alphabot, letter "N". Sp this typhoon which is scheduled to hit luzon on the week of october 2 was appropriately named:

"NENENG"

But seriously... it was bad in the metro, yeah,, but all the other typhoons had the same (if not worse) effect on provinces. So remember all the times we reloiced over an incoming suspension of classes, MAHIYA KAYO!

Im gonna rant now.. kay?

Ironically, on wednesday, i was studying about (hondandaradan) electricty! Of all the things db? funny, everything i learned wasn't able to prepare me for the weekend to come! Big P6 test scheduled for thurs, if i got a good grade in this one (its the last btw ) i get to be exempted from the finals! (booyah!!) So super tiyaga me mag aral sabay YM. Tas, bryant go IMed me :pare wag ka na mag aral! suspende! He showed me a link n shiz tapos unga! walang pasok!! harhar

Nag YM lang me the whole nyt while typing up some papers. DOn introduced me to triple Jack! super fun niya, but i still dont get the rules. Triple Jack is an online texas hold'em poker game on macromedia flash! kaya cool, register na sa www.triplejack.com . (shameless plug damn it!)

So naglaro kami ni Don, tapos naki sali sa Ash so laro lang whole night till they called it quits. The rest of the night YM nlng with Cri n Rhon. ME n Rhon were writing LIT papers on the same topic, Isaac Asimov's "the LAst Question", real good! (read it here http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html, may graphic novel version pa! kool!)

I really really really REALLY enjoyed this story kasi ang BBBAngas niya!! It was really deep, it had a lot to say, a nice way to say it and and and AND! bastah! read it!!

One of the things it talked about was mankind's growing dependence on technology! (oh diba? literary analysis!) think about it, its true? hindi ba't para kang hubad kapag wala kang cellphone? technology is hastily evolving to become part of almost every aspect of our life, think about it.... Sumuper effort ako thinking about this ah! I wrote a paper on the damn thing! (the story had a bunch of other themes which might intrigue you :D)

THE last question : how those one get an "A" in Ms Sabido's class?

the ANSWER: Insufficient data for meaningful answer! damn it AMP!

This story haunted me for the rest of the Milenyo weekend.....

Finished my papers, chatted sum more, 2log!

oooo! Thursday na!!!!!

• 
  
  First strange thing : POWER flutuations! really scary mehn
  
  
• 
  
  next -> the brown out!
  
  
• 
  
  The lakas tama ulan

I normally love the rain, for its coolness (temperature ah!) and its emo effect on me. I love walking in the rain, sleeping in the rain, bathing in the rain, but most of all CONTEMPLATING LIFE in the rain! (beat that OBi Wan!)

But this was no normal rain, it was Milenyo's (again with the name!). My dad described like this "its like being under siege". in truth it was, haha. The entire family was posted on the windows on my house's broadside as we fought against nature's invasion of man's artificial environment. Water came through closed windows, air conditioners and cracks in the wall! Everyone running around with towels and rags, panic panic etc

Lookin back,,, it was soooo stupid! i mean come on! tubig lang yan! all the Hassle (its that word again!) for some measly leaks. We have wooden floors, water would severely weaken it, but still, un lang ang laking problema an para sa amin, what the hell? what have i become!!

I promised myself long ago, before moving in to White Plains, that i would not become one of those snooty "feeling upper class materialistic assholes", but everyday.. i feel like im falling into that hole (not the ass hole, kay?!)

i think that last paragraph is what you call a "rant"

nyway

so for a few hours naubos nmin lahat ng basahan at twalia sa bahay. I went outside to look for brandy (my white lab, ive got pictures of her : http://megeh.multiply.com/photos/album/2 .. haha, Lakas ng hangin, i was almost tangayed by the wind if it wasnt for the pader. I found brandy, she was inside the house all along, good girl,, stupid boy!!!

IF it wasnt for that wall, i dont think i'd be typing this right now :D

Some more window guarding until the rains died.. I went outside and cheked the streets, chaos mehn, again ive got pics : http://megeh.multiply.com/photos/album/39 . I think the pictures can give you a better.. uhm... picture??? of what i saw, hahaaha, check out the bat!!

The bat we found was still alive, it slept through out the entire attack and emerged unharmed, wet but unharmed, if i slept, the same thing could have happened to me, wet yet unharmed.. napaisip me dito

we needed food and candles but my dad said we should wait for things to settle before moving out. I burned time by reading "on beauty" by whats hername. It a required reading for my LIt class (SABIDO!! hanggang dto pa ay ginugulo mo pa ako!) it helped a bit, theres was hardly mention of electricity or appliances in the first part of the book (save for howard's PC which had a brief camio) In effect, the brown out ddnt bother me as much, at the time at least.

I havent read enough if the novel to say if its good or bad, im just not enjoying it so far hahah

Around 5 ish we left for SM hypermart, sum1 txtd, may pasok daw bukas, huh? so we bought stuff for the night, candles, batteries, food etc (jollibee!!) then came home, dark mehn, real dark

ang creepy ng house in candle light, 2mawag si anjo sa bahay, kwentuhan and shiz, He is in USTE m nman sa ADMU, pero we hardly talked about... "that", innocent kwentuhan at kamustahan lang which was quite nice to talk about.. Nerd parin daw ako, hahhaha :D

we talked for a reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLLLLLLLLLLLL long time tapos sumigaw si louie : FIRE!

my WOODEN dresser caught fire, cool noh? louie put it out with a cup of water and left like nothing happened, Binasa lang nya sabay alis, so basa pa lahat at puro abo, what the hell? ako nman d ko pinansin, 2loy kwentohan

and then i saw the damage! Ouchness

the rest of the night wala akong ginawa!

Katext ko si petra, i couldnt sleep kasi, is berry scary in my room at night with no electricity, its pitch black mehn!! and frickin quiet... toooo quiet. 

Soon enough i drained myself of all bodily energies and finally fell asleep, woke up the next morning. Nothing to do but read "on beauty" all morning whil making agawan with louie. we fought over my ipod and who could finish the battery faster, stupid noh? Needless to say, I won this bet hahaha

To destroy the monotony of the day nag de leon family male bonding kami sa rockwell. My mum went to a party while me n papa n louie looked for a movie to watch. Flyboys: the biplane worldwar one action movie won over DOA and first day high. Sam was there, ung blockmate nila don-don, but i dont really know him well enough to say "Hi", d nya ata ako kilala eh haha.. we bought tickets and killed time sa Fully booked

Louie found a cool comic : MARVEL Zombies, hayup, gus2 ko nyan! its about the end of the world ean everyone is a zombie including every marvel super hero at nagpapatayan sila over flesh!! waaaaaaaa!! I want that!!

O ayun, movie na, ung family ni Sam sat behind me, haha, la lang

Flyboys was cool, for a world war 1 movie... Tradition n kasi toh eh, in my family, if there is a ner "war" movie papanoorin namn yan. Its interesting to see how muxh "honor" there was back then during the war, also how personal air combat was. "flying knights" was one of the terms coined by one of the pilots in the movie. They were like knights riding powerful steeds into battle while carrying an insignia to announce their name. Angas siya, its sooo RETRO

This movie helped me get over the lack of electricity at home because, like on beauty, there was hardly anything electrical in the movie

the next day, saturday, nanood ako ng game! wow! GAme2 at natalo ata us hahaha, pero patron tix ako ah! (thanx again pat!)

D ako nag days meeting para dyan (sorry don!! promise, next meeting punta ako!)

Got kuryente (finally!!) that night at aroung 12 ish so parang sunday na rin un, hahaaha
