!!!WARNING!!!
Be warned. I expect you not to panic when you see the random rants of this "shaken" girl while she faces her life as a student of the University of the Philippines, her musings over her backtracked music trips, the surveys and quizzes she takes out of boredom, her vanity shots, her out-of-this-world-sessions, her "wicked" plots to dominate the world, her frustrations, her paranoia, her ambitious plans, her revelations on procrastination, her crazed ideas and whatever else that comes to her mind. Do not tell me that you have not been warned. (Reverse psychology, applied. XD)
if you find this blog way disturbing and proud, i suggest that you hit the exit button at the upper right corner of this window, go home and eat bahaw. go figure out what bahaw means. XD

This is the funniest text/call-from-a-stranger story I've heard.
Ms. Bello was out for the day *this is already the third time this sem!* so we had her class as our free period. I just stayed in MB 321 with my Math buddies, JN and Prince. From discussing the two given Math problems, and my idea that Ms. Bello allow us 3 absences, we ended up talking about messages from "unknown" numbers. Prince then shares his experience.
"Dati, may tumawag sa'kin na private number (unregistered sa contacts list). Tapos nung sinagot ko, ibinaba agad nung tumawag. Pagkatapos, may nagtext sakin yun pa ring number..."
Guess what the text message says.
"Andito ako sa Taiwan, nakita ko kasi yung number mo sa pocketbook."
Pocketbook, lol...
And yes, given the phone number, the caller may have been from Taiwan. Prince never deleted the message.
Okay, I do hate Twilight series. I think the story is nothing extraordinary so I think it is overrated. Frankly, I think it's the worst book I ever read (considering the reputation of the book). Sorry, Twilight Fans. Why did I read it? Because I saw the book being read and passed along by the literature-inclined-people in my high school. I was also intrigued by the teaser at the back cover. Why did I even finish it? Because everyone is talking about it and I want my comments in. Alright, slap me, punch me. I'll fight back, though.
The Twilight Cover.
I must admit. I love the covers from the series. The red and black motif. The apple. The feather. The ribbon. I don't know what the other one is. However, at the first few paragraphs of the first book, it is apparent that the story disappoints and does not fit the cover. At that point, I really stopped and thought, "Is this the right book?"
The New Wuthering Heights Cover
I wish Twilight never existed so I could appreciate the new cover. I just can't accept that "Wuthering Heights", a CLASSIC, falls under the shadow of Twilight, a... I decline to say what it is. Let us not forget that "Wuthering Heights" is THE classic and not Twilight. Not the other way around. I really hate it whenever I hear that some people are now reading "Wuthering Heights" just because because it was mentioned in Twilight. Not that I'm against the point that Twilight engages the young people to read classics since I love classics. I just find it insulting that the Twilight books have more influence compared to books like Wuthering Heights. Sorry again Twilight Fans. I would have reconsidered this if those who read Wuthering Heights for Twilight extended their reading to other Bronte Sisters' books or at least Jane Austen's. However... Most likely, they did not. I wish I were wrong!
Know what I found more insulting? This tag in the US version of the cover:
Bella& Edward's Favorite Book
Wow. What a way to describe the book. Is this a review? Hahahaha... FYI, this in the front cover.
Imitating Twilight? I wonder what Emily Bronte would think.
Today, I woke up early, deciding to attend all of my classes. "Early" is defined (by me) to be around 0720 since my Math Class is at 0830. After finally getting out of my bed, I went to the shower room cum comfort room to take a bath. As usual, the shower stalls are full so I scouted for a stall with the "matatapos-na-potential".
----------------------------------------
Introducing the Sampa Shower System! As mentioned earlier, shower stalls are usually full around 0700 since most dormers have their first class at around 8. For convenience, there is a "pila system". You hang your towel at the door of the stall, and tada, you've reserved that stall. Others could also hang their towels there, but that means they can only use it after you. However, should you not be in the stall five minutes after the last user is done, the one next to you may already use the shower.
----------------------------------------
Back to the story. After hanging my towel at my prospect stall, I went to a cubicle and peed. Having done "my job", I opened the cubicle door of course and hit a girl. Accidentally, I swear! I said sorry to her though it's her fault (the door opens outwards and she's standing in front of the door) since she smiled and said sorry too and she looks like a good girl.
While waiting for my turn, I headed to the lavatory to brush my teeth and wash my face. After brushing my teeth, I saw that one has just finished so I checked if she came from the stall I reserved. Yes, she did. But OhF, there's another towel in the stall and somebody's already inside! (FYI, my towel was first and the time span couldn't have been 5 minutes since I was in front of the stall in less than a minute) Then dang, I saw her hang her "lower underwear" above her towel. But I was being extra patient so I waited just to make sure. Then she came out and went to the adjacent cubicle. The-Freaking-Girl-Hit-By-The-Cubicle-Door! Alright, let's call her TFGHBTCD from now on. Now, I'm being extra extra patient and waited to see what will happen next. She went out of the cubicle and went back to the shower stall and took off her clothes and finally hang them above her towel. ANG APOG!
WTF. I was seriously considering knocking on the stall and confronting her, but I checked myself and thought that that won't be a good thing for the morning. I just went back to the lavatory and Tammy probably saw the OhF look in my face so she asked me what happened. Then I told her,
"Kasi pumila ako... Tapos may ibang gumamit."
That goes to you, TFGHBTCD!
Great thing there's another free stall that time. Seems like life's not that unfair at all.
---------------
One of the things I hate is that she looks like a good girl compared to me. Just like the other girl who got to ride the Toki jeep while I didn't, when I was in the waiting place before she was.
