Vacation. Yay. Pissed. No. Yes.
Aug 17, 2007 Daily Blurbs
There is another typhoon called, Egay. It’s said to hit until Saturday. Although I am enjoying the extended vacation due to the suspension of classes since Thursday, I am sad for those people who had to suffer. A lot of places are flooded, and some doesn’t have electricity. Even Quentin Tarantino had to change his formal pants to a jogging pants because he had to walk on the flooded area in Manila so that he won’t be late to meet the President of the Philippines. Oh, and he even rode a pedicab. Wow.
This week is actually our midterms week, and because of the suspension of classes, the exams are postponed until next week. If classes resume on Saturday, I will have to take my dreaded exam in Computer Programming. Yes, I hate the class. I just don’t get it. Maybe, I am not cut off to be a programmer, or maybe just a “C” programmer. Why not JAVA? C is so old school! Damn our curriculum!
Anyway, I have been PMSing, and poor Ryan had to suffer. Well, it’s not entirely my fault. Eversince he bought his new toy1, he forgets to call me on time, or SLEEP on time. I just snapped today. I was pissed because he wanted me to download games for him using torrents. I have explained that I am backing up my files because I am going to format my whole computer2, and he had to remind me everyday of the games that I am borrowing from Lexie. Argh! So I told him to call me after an hour. I wanted to cool off. I went out and played with my dog, I also cleaned her up because she’s got oil stains that she got under my dad’s car. Doing that was therapeutic. I was already in a good mood, so I called Ryan. Forty minutes have already passed so I assumed he’s done playing with his computer, but he wasn’t. He said that he’d call me back in a 5 minutes so he can shutdown his laptop. Another 40 minutes passed, so I sent him an SMS and said, “Please don’t call anymore. Go to sleep. Goodnight.” After 20 minutes, he called me up. I was more pissed off than I was earlier. I told him that I called because I wanted to apologize for being a bitch earlier, but he just had to piss me off again. He made me wait another hour to shutdown his computer, obviously that wasn’t what he did. I have been very patient over this matter. This is not the first time he has forgotten about me. I even sent him an email regarding this and he denied that his laptop is taking over his life.
I am a very pissed off girlfriend right now, and I hate it.
I know that Ryan doesn’t want me to get a tattoo, but I’m planning on getting one. I am looking at some star tattoos, I think I’d get one of those. Or maybe, a number? Hmm…

Combat Pain
Aug 13, 2007 Daily Blurbs
I don’t have windburn anymore. When the typhoon was over, the windburn went away with it. I am so glad when it did. I mean, it is very uncomfortable.
How to combat windburn: (What I did..)
- Apply facial moisturizer. I used Skin Logics Moisturizer.
- Apply Vaseline lotion, Aloe Vera based.
- Apply Petroleum Jelly.
All of those gave relief to the pain, but the most effective is the Petroleum Jelly. I had to sacrifice the feeling of having an oily face. I hate having an oily face, but I just had to do it. It was worth it. I also used the facial foam cleanser instead of my usual Pond’s facial wash.
I am contemplating on cutting my hair short. Not too short, though. Maybe up to my shoulder. I was going to do it yesterday after hearing mass, but my mom wanted to go home already and I didn’t want to go to the salon alone.
Speaking of hearing mass…
Why can’t someone go, hear mass, when he/she wants to? I didn’t want to go yesterday. But my parents acted like I am the devil incarnate because I didn’t want to go. Sometimes, I just don’t get the spiritual nourishment I need from going to church. I know as a Catholic, every Sunday is my obligation to go to church and hear mass. But even if I felt that way about going to church yesterday, I ended up feeling good about it. For one thing, my whole family is with me, and seldom do families go out together anymore.
It was my grandmother’s 92nd birthday last Saturday, August 11. At 92, she’s still have that young soul in her. I asked her, even if I knew the answer, how old she is, she quickly answered, “Twenty-nine!” I had to laugh at that, because last year, she quickly answered Nineteen! My grandma still is strong for her age. I love her to bits!

Random Everything
Aug 3, 2007 Daily Blurbs, School
Life for me has been very busy. I am so stressed out from school and last week, I started to get sick. I was able to go to school for 2 days, accompanied Ryan to buy a laptop, and attended the acquaintance party for school. The next day, the slight fever became a full blown can’t-get-out-of-bed fever. All I wanted was to sleep all day.
On Wednesday, my cousin and her family from Japan went for a visit. We just hang out at my aunt’s place for the whole afternoon, and went to the mall for an hour to buy some clothes. Clothes here are much cheaper than what my niece buys online. They are on the beach now, basking on the white sand of Boracay. I wanted to go, too, but I have school. My niece was having problems with her hairy legs, so I told her to check out Washington DC laser hair removal, since they plan to visit her sister in the US by the end of August. They get back here in Manila on Saturday, then fly back to Japan on Sunday. It was a short visit, but I believe they will come back in December or some time next year.
I took my cousin’s DVD writer. Technically, it’s mine, because he sold it to me, but I haven’t paid yet. It’s a really good thing, since I can backup my files easily because I can put them on DVD. I want to reformat my computer, both hard drives should be wiped out clean. I also want to write my applications softwares on DVD.
I still feel sick. I am also suffering from windburn. According to Wiki, it is a skin burn condition where wind removes the top layer of oil from the skin. The lack of oil causes excessive dryness of the skin, leading to redness and a burning feeling. It really hurts a lot. I can’t see the redness in my skin, but I do feel the burning feeling. I put moisturizer on my face last night, but it just lessened the pain. Before I went to bed, I put on petroleum jelly, which really helped until late this afternoon, but now, it’s back and the jelly is not working. My face is covered with a big scarf right now, to avoid air from blowing on my face.
I really do hate this weird weather. The day starts with the sun burning hot and bright until the early afternoon. Come 3:00pm, the rain starts to fall and that causes humidity, which I truly hate so much. I know that this is the cause of the windburn on my face. I just wish this goes away because it really makes me extra cranky. Argh!
Josh Hartnett arrived in the Philippines yesterday. I wish I knew! I used to have a major crush on him when I was in high school. He’s said to be shooting the film “I Come With The Rain” and it will be shot in the Philippines, particularly in Mt. Diwalwal in Davao. His arrival was quiet, according to the local news. He wasn’t accompanied by any bodyguards, he was just escorted by a personnel from NAIA. The media wasn’t allowed to come up and talk to him when he arrived at the airport in Davao, standard protocol, they say. Whatever! I would’ve been cool if he said a word or two on camera for the Filipinos.
I was thinking of replacing this layout, but, I haven’t gotten around to finishing anything that I’ve started. It’s not summer here anymore, but I guess it is on the other side of the earth.
