HOW TO SAVE A LIFE. THE FRAY.

The first time ever in the history of my blogging
that I'm going to post the lyrics of a song
( I used to do so before but only those of the songs I made)
on my blog. Heh.
I just thought there's really something in this song.
Liking it; very much.
*sets song on repeat on her music player*

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

LALALA.

8
more days.


Can't wait.
I really can't sleep at night thinking about the things I'm going to do when I get back.
And, yes, also about how and when I'm going to pack my things.
Like how much catching up I'd need to do.
How much time I'm going to spend with this group of friends and how much with another.
Which places I'm going to visit and when I would do so.


But I guess , for now, my main worry would be
when and how I can finish my holiday homeworks in a way that it wouldn't interfere with the fun I'd be having back home,
Well, I guess, I've been successful with this for the past two times I've gone home. xD
But I don't know if I can just finish everything on 1st January ><
when I'm going to start packing and how I'm going to be able to pack all of my things which I'm going to leave here into three storage boxes,
I'd need to pack all of my things. all
how I can find the time to spend with my friends before I go home,
yeah, I've got a hectic schedule. x))
and how to do all these in one week's time.
Too much to do, so little time.


I really find the holiday-homeworks-and-extended-curriculum combo provided by the school too much for everyone, or perhaps at least for me.
Not only do we have lotsandlots of holiday homeworks ( at least for now we have EMaths, Lit and Chem; but of course, soon, there'll be more) to finish but we also have homeworks given for our extended curriculum classes.
It seems like we're never going to run out of things to do.
After finishing one homework, there'd be lotsa of other homeworks all piled up to dig into.
I was just thinking, wouldn't it be better if they gave us all the holiday homeworks and just let us off early?
MGS is on holiday now :|
But then, don't get me wrong. I'm actually enjoying the extra classes and I find most lectures helpful especially those ones wherein I don't fall asleep.
erm.. Chem, Geog.. what else.. uhm, I just doze off a bit during EMath and AMath. Only a bit! But for the other classes.. zzzz -.-


Then again, I guess it may be because I'm procrastinating too much.
And I'm being such a lazy-ass when it comes to doing my homework.
OKay, so I guess I'm in the wrong here.
But, but, but, but..

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
-Sir Mix-A-Lot-

Done.

525600 + 14400. Do the Math.

540000
minutes.

I'm so excited.
And I just can't hide it.
Still having lessons up to 7th November for our school's extended curriculum.
Yes, I did not feel sleepy
well I actually dozed off for a bit during Bio x))
but I wasn't actually able to concentrate all the time
because all there was in my mind was the thought of getting on the plane, being
some meters above land for 3hours, and landing on Filipino soil.

Will be back for my lola's birthday which makes me anticipate going home more ;D

Though I'd only be there for a month and some days
I don't want to count 'cause I don't wanna know 'cause if I did it would surely be painful
I'm hoping that I'd get to spend my stay there to the fullest before I come back here
and wait for the next 11months to pass by.

Done.

Deymmm, Been Struck by Koreans xD

Saw. Heard. Loved♥

After SuJu&Wonder Girls, my roommate, Wongso, made me listen to another K-pop band again -
DBSK|Dong Bang Shin Ki|동방신기
- and, ohayow, I loved them. xD


Honestly, I really think it's because of their good looks
and their being Korean while we're at it as we all know that I love Koreans. HAHHH x))
that I ended up liking them when Wongso showed them to me.
She first showed me their video - a short 45-minute drama, I guess - 'Dangerous Love'
It's damn funny. Look for it in Youtube&watch. xDDD
Fine, here's the link then xO

I think I actually liked them because, need I say, they're hot - well at least, for me, two of them
and cute. But after watching their music video, I saw how good they were in dancing and singing and I liked them even more. Heeehee xD

They're really good. Especially Yun-ho (see: picture, extreme right)
He's awesome.

But I like Jaejoong a.k.a Hero (see: picture, centre) more xD
'Cause he sings better and he's better-looking xDDD

Haha. Those two are the DBSK members I like best. Heh.
Haven't really payed attention to the other three :P

Done.


*PAT



P.S. Here's an interesting blog criticising the current Korean pop music scene. Go read :)

THE IT EProgramme HELPED ME PRODUCE THIS

It can't be really called awesome as it's not really worthy of the adjective.
I just wanted to post it here, so here I am doing what I wanted to do;
which is to post this video here.


No sounds. No effects. There's just more to this one than the
raw video they provided for us to edit.
Heh.
I can't just enter the link of the uploaded video here to add it here.
Bummer.


Oh well. I've uploaded it on my Multiply & I'm too lazy to upload it again
- also because my trusty broadband provider is damn slow -
so, here's the link.


OHAYO. [That's not even the video's title]

Done.

OH BOY. MADE MY EYEBALLS FRIGGIN SWEATY. XD

I'm talking about this.

I've just finished watching An American Crime, starring Ellen Page (who's also the girl who played Juno in, err, Juno xD), and boy did I cry terribly hard.

If you've never heard about it before and you don't know anything about it whatsoever, then I can tell you a bit about it. Uh, it's basically about the torture&torment that a young American girl went through in the hands of a family who made her experience hell on Earth.

I don't know if I was exaggerating but, oh well, moving on..


------------------- ^^

Since I'm not really skilled in summarizing, I'll just copy-paste a synopsis I got from The Internet Movie Database.

Based on a true story that shocked the nation in 1965, the film recounts one of the most shocking crimes ever committed against a single victim. Sylvia and Jennie Fae Likens, the two daughters of traveling carnival workers are left for an extended stay at the Indianapolis (3850 E. New York St. is hardly suburban, nor was it in 1965, by any stretch of the imagination.) home of single mother Gertrude Baniszewski and her six children. Times are tough, and Gertrude's financial needs cause her to make this arrangement before realizing how the burden will push her unstable nature to a breaking point. What transpires in the next three months is both riveting and horrific, leaving one child dead and the rest scarred for life.

Oh, yeah. It's based on a true story
&knowing that even made the whole movie more painful.. -.-
.. to watch. lol xD


------------------- ^^

It's very sad, for me. Eek. And I could not feel any more sorry for Sylvia, who's played by Ellen Page, that extremely convincing, great and not to mention beautiful actress.

"The merry-go-roung just goes 'round and 'round, up and down.
You don't go anywhere but you always feel safe."

------------------- ^^

Adding to the movie's awesome-ness is the presence of James Franco.
Oooh, isn't he gorgeous? He always is. :">


He made out with a woman who's
more or less 10years his senior in the movie
he's still hot, nevertheless.

So, yes. An American Crime. Watch it.
If you're having problems looking for the movie
- be it vcd, dvd or online
just ask me and I'd give you the link. Heehee.

Oh, no. Watching movies online is not illegal.
Let's just see it as borrowing and returning.
We're not downloading it, anyway :)
Right, NianCi? xD

Done.

SURREAL.

Meet Betty.

She's flirty.

But she's nice & not h*rny.

HIHIHI.

Sometimes, things feel different;

they seem odd in a way and hard to believe in another.

Or is it the same way.. wth

Especially this one.

This whole crazy thing I'm in.

This being a foreign student that I am now.

I've been having some thoughts before.

Like as how everything seemed too easy.

How everything seemed to be so fast.

How everything seemed to be too good to be true.

Of course, in the perspective of those who really wanted it.

'Cause I was never really into it.

&Now I don't even know why I ended up there in the first place.

How everything happened so fast that

I wasn't even able to bid farewell to everyone I know.

At the very start, I thought everything was actually a scam.

Like, some trick to lure many people into one place at the same time

the reason, however, I wasn't able to make up.

And so I thought.

And so I was wrong.

Having swept away&gone with the SIA,

seeing the setting&the scenes,

I thought it might be some reality tv show.

but everything was actually real and this is
not some reality tv show.
Turned out to be another chapter in my life.

HIHI.

Done.

*PAT

I CAN'T BLOG EVERYDAY.

Juicy Fruit made me do this.
Yeah, 'cause I don't normally pose like this.^^

16.10.2008
N took out a pack of sticks of JF gum she brought back from Malaysia.
Out of pure ecstasy due to the fact that, after a few seconds, we're going to be able to chew a gum again after being deprived for some months a very, and I must say, very long time, we decided to take photos. Well, actually like what we normally do on a regular basis it's just that we had a reason (JF gum) that time ^^ So I took some with N and W then I wanted to take more and W, being so fond of taking my photos, even saying that I look better in photos than in person, did patiently bear with me and took photos* of me 'til I got tired. xD see photos here!

I'ma nerd& I come in peace ^_^V

This is the 3rd time I'm repeating this line.

16.10.2008
Got this assembly at my hostel's dining hall.
Answered a survey (wth. I know, I know Y.Y)
Was bored after or was it before? being done with the whole freaking 8 pages
Saw Adeline's supercalifragelisticexpialidocius pair of specs. Heeeh. So korean-ish ^^V
Tried it on. &wasn't able to resist the call of vanity. Hohoho.
more photos here<3

I like this pig but it's not cheap. xDDD
the store beside Timezone in Vivo

19.10.2008
Went to Vivo after church ^.^V
Was with Hannah, Kat &RC.
Met up with Ggine&Johann there.
Ate lunch.
Juniors arrived while I was enjoying my Korean beef BBQ <333
Went arououou~nd Vivo.
Spent most time with my FAVORITE JUNIOR, Marriz xD
She took this photo<3
The saleslady kept on persuading me to buy the stuffed pig. She gave me 5%-15% discounts xD She was really nice, though.
But then all I said was,

"Sorry, it's still too expensive. Maybe I'll just come back next time when I have more money."

:( I actually felt bad because I guess the anime-looking saleslady became upset.
But then I really can't afford the stuffed piggy. No matter how much I want it.
Heeeeh.
HAHAHA.
Aaw. Boohoo. xDDDD

Done.

SKIPPED ONE DAY.

I realized I can't really update this blog daily;
Can't post a blog entry everyday, actually.

So, as you can see, I have a new layout.
Heeeeh. I like it :">
duh that's why I chose it

I just edited the words&all xD
But one day, really, I'd want to make my own layout.
As in custom made.
No, as in all from scratch.
When's it gonna be?
Well then, let's wait&see.

Blogging's boring when the mind's not working.
Blogging's useless when the mind's not working.
Blogging is when the mind's not working.

So what should I write about today?
Maybe I'd just make another entry about this one so I can keep my every entry short.

P.S. 24 days and subtracting.
must put more effort on losing weight!!!


Done.


*PAT

YEHEY :D

Studying `til the wee hours of the morning is synonymous to suffering only with a mug of caffeinated drink.

Ooh. Brain blast. You drink mugs of coffee when you mug. wth. xD


[Taken from my post in Multiply with more pictures of me xDD
Go take a look :>]


My boyfriend says hi.

--------------- ANYWAY --------------

I'd just want to write about how happy -and there's no other word- I am :D
We got our end-of-year exam results back and
I got the passing marks I needed to be able to go home :D

xO 'Cause my parents already bought my ticket last month
and my flight's waaay early. Like, two days after we officially do not need to go to school.
I wasn't sure then if I can really go home immediately
since we'd need to stay back in case we fail
whether it's any test or only the overall grade, I still don't know

But then, goooodiiieee. We got back our papers yesterday
and today and I got the passing marks I needed.
Yip, yip, yurrayyy ^^

THANK GOD.
:D
He's really mighty to save.
&because of Him, I never worried.

I never found anything to worry about :)
because I believe that
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:13

Yey. So I'm going home soon.

All the mugging paid off! xO
though I didn't really do much.
well, actually I might have. Oh, more like cramming xD
sucks. for the big O's, I'll study harder :DDD
&the prayers really helped. :)

All you've got to do is PRAY :DDD
"Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds.."
Philippians 4:6-7

Done.
God bless you, always :D

TIS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE TITLE 'STH, STH VERTIGO'

I published the first one but then I forgot to write about what I actually was suppose to write about in the first place - that which was the reason why I actually took the photo and why the title of the said previous blog entry was so.

[See: How's it there in vertigo?]

So, apparently, I need to write about it now.
Howkay. Here goes, dangos.
lollll. Hana Yori Dango<3333>

i warmed my ass.
(can i leave it as it is?)
swiveled, `round and `round.
(ooohh, like swirls)
12inches touch the ground.
(1ft = 12inches)
red light. felt like Mr. Brunch wanted to come out.
(ooh, yummeyy.)

So if you got it, you'd know it and they'll never.
But hey, this is not about a one-night-stand, honey.
Let my words get in your mind.
Go, sleep, let's see if you will find.

You're gonna get it someday.
But it might not be today.
I'd love it if you really bothered.
My words are made for love (LOLWTH)
Like music, it's made for love.
I'd love it if you really bothered.


Heh. So, yeah. The spinning chair got me wrapped around its fing comfy cushion? no, no. spinning capability. lolhtw.

And after giving me the ride of my life and after satisfying my once yearning for that-kind-of-fun-it-offered, I became nauseous. My stomach was churning. Yes, I am surely certain that it wasn't butterflies, it surely were not. I believe it might have been Mr. Lunch - or Mr. Breakfast, even - looking for a way out, pounding on to my stomach's distensible wall and creeping up my oesophagus.


Well, I'm okay now :::::D
sunshiney daaaa~y.
it's actually evening now, dearie ferrari. well, nvm.

Speaking of the underlined word there, I saw Puma (or was it Reebok?) shoes, with the Ferrari logo on them, on sale in the World of Sports outlet (I think it's WoS, I think xD) in Suntec City. (is saying this fine? I mean, would I get sued or something? xO) Anna, Gineeper, Hannah, RC and I were there, looking around since there was a quite-big-yet-not-really-since-it's-still-considered-expensive* sale. Hannah showed me the said shoes and, yes, my reaction was

Whoever wants to have the Ferrari logo on their shoes? Why not just on their car/s?

Yeah. I know my point's not really that pointy profound and objective and rather subjective (yes, indeed) but that is just my opinion, I say. xD


So, there. I'ma finish this one. Real soon. Sooner. Sooopaahhh soon.

DONE.


*PAT

How's it there in vertigo?

Writing about something which is plainly irrelevant - does it add relevance to it?

sat down.
spin around.
have felt sick.
stomach's churning.
tenses mixed.
I have ever been longing.
oh, that's another thing. done.

Not just because it rhymes, it fits.
or should I say not just because it rhymes it also fits.
or maybe not because it rhymes, it doesn't necessarily mean that it also fits.
htw. never mind.


Anyway, here's my second post and probably my first official blog entry here.
why, of course you know the difference right.

I was in the computer room this afternoon, posting a blog in my Multiply, an excerpt of which I now quote,

I'm in our school's library. Got our exam results back today. School's not over yet. Why am I here in our library in the middle of a supposedly class time you may ask. Well, it's because it's my favorite subject now. You know, the one which I happen to not take.

oh, yeah. And the part where I announced to the whole wide world (or at least to those who've been avid readers* of my each and every blog post) that I've started blogging in blogspot. Hekhekhek.

Anywaaaay.
I've made a blogspot blog already. Heeh.

And I know you'd want to visit it so, here, I'm giving you the link :DDDD

Since I'm a very special person, I made the whole sentence the link.

Heh. I've actually quoted almost the whole of the said blog entry except the first part where I said

Good morning, sunshine!

(Well it's actually afternoon already but since I really miss saying this line then let me be.)

and also the part where I said

That's all folks. and kids. and teens. girls. boys. gays. lesbos. bi's. martians.

KORNI.


*Pat

Now, I've really quoted all of it. Heh.



Done.


*PAT


*oh yeasss, I have such fame! LOL xD

TIS MY FIRST POST.

I made this blog for NianCi.
LOL.
Well, not really. xD

HAHAHA.
I just figured it would be nice to blog here (on blogspot) since
it has a more blog-y feel than Multiply (that is, of course, only my opinion)
But of course I'd still be keeping my Multiply updated :D
[Click on the image below to visit my Multiply site. HIHIHI]
Heeeh.
