who will give me my chance?
as i pushed toward my 7th *&^%$$%, can't say i didn't think of that too. am still wondering if this isn't where God wants me to be or i'm just simply dumb. what to do? resources are getting low while expectation keeps getting higher. gawd, all i really wanted was to have a decent job, any decent job at all.
hello corporate world. i'm on my knees. i'm begging you to please, please open your door for me. i've been knocking for quite some time now and honestly, it's becoming too tiring now. would you? could you?

Araw ng Pagkilala (KAPP: April 21, 2007,UP Theater)
Hindi man ako nakaakyat ng stage para kunin ang diploma ko, ayos na sakin na makita ang mga kaibigan ko na kunin ang mga diploma nila..maging proud at super saya habang tinatawag ang pangalan nila at kinakamayan ng dean at panauhing pandangal namin. Ang saya talaga pala ng feeling habang nandun sa loob ng theater dahil sa okasyong iyon: ang pagtatapos. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng magulang na bumati, mga kaibigan, kay june na nagbigay ng bulaklak at sa lahat ng taong kumuha ng pichur..nakakasilaw man at nakakangawit, ayuuus lang! By the way marami pang pichurs sa multiply ko so if interested, click lang sa gilid. :)
kulitan lang habang nasa labas pa sila
my sablay moment with eman the cum laude and pam the proud graduate
ang gaganda!
izay, me and june after the ceremony
ang napakakulit at uber cool na Department Chair ng Geography, Sir Meliton Juanico.
Pam, Kimi and Me sa stage. Lahat ng tao ay nagkakagulo na!
I really appreciate everything that they've done to me. JP here was hugging me while congratulating me because he (among others) said that it was also my day. :)Congratulations guys!
Hanggang sa susunod na mga hakbang sa buhay.

and so the story goes..
a lil sense of deja vu awashed me last night while watching (and hearing) Wendy of the Pinoy Big Brother 2 (yes, i do watch and it's one of the few things that actually keep me happy) say something about her education background. I don't really like her as a housemate but that moment, it was like seeing myself in front of the tv while she was thanking all the people behind her graduation. She has a tita who's not actually even related to her but decided to help her finish her studies without anything in return. she was right and i agreed to her 100% when she said that there are really some people in this world who are willing enough to help others just because they want to. I know so because I do have them too. Also her feelings about graduation, on how important it is for her to get up on stage and claim that stupid (but most sought after) piece of parchment. Tama sya. Yun ang resulta ng lahat ng paghihirap mo. Friggin' evidence that took her 8 years to get at hindi kami nagkakalayo ha, so just imagine how freaking happy we were. So medyo natamaan lang talaga ako.
Tanggap ko nang hindi ako makakapagmartsa oo, pero honestly hindi ako masaya na hindi ko nga mararanasan yun. Hellow??!! Pero, tanggap ko na talaga. It's just one of those things that apparently I still can't have. But as I've promised to every batchmates, I'll be waiting outside the theater to give them their most deserving sampaguitas ever. NOT! Hugs will do! :)
Happy Graduation to us all!!!

Napakaineeet!!!
hindi ko ma-take.sa sobrang inet ay hindi ka na makatulog ng super late lalo pa't kailangan mong magbawi kasi kabababa mo lang ng bundok.pambihira.pero wala naman akong magagawa kasi ganito na talaga ang summer sa Pilipinas, ika nga ng kamikazee " sobrang inet, abot singit".
but the good thing about it though, the sunflowers are already out and they're a view to behold. Hay.
As for me, I'm still not getting anywhere near I want to be. Ikot lang ng ikot..

The Graduation Slash Thank You Edition!
Graduaaaaaate na ko!!!!!
Hindi lang iisa ang dahilan kung bakit masayang-masaya ako na nakagraduate na nga ako (although hindi pa official). Una na siguro dun ang Finally. After n years of staying in UP (and-I- wouldn't-bother- explaining-why-it-took-me-that-long-but-if-you-want-to-i-could-tell-you-just -ask- me!) sa wakas naman ay makakasagot na ako, proudly, na "oo, graduate na ko". And I guess everybody dreamt of graduating right? I'm just one of them. Pangalawa, it only means that i am SOOO over math now. After my nth time of enlisting, sleepless nights, insane days you've caused me (and my other friends too!), praying, buying bluebooks, photocopying sample exams, cursing all my teachers and other horrible experiences, I'm so, so darn happy it all paid off even if it took me many times just to overcome you. Lastly, makakahanap na ko ng trabahong mas matino dahil may lisensya na ko for that another whole world out there. OR NOT!!!
Pero kasabay ng pagtatapos na ito nangangahulugan lamang na maraming taong dapat pasalamatan all throughout the years. Syempre hindi ko pa maibabalik sainyo ang lahat ng tulong na ibinigay nyo sakin sa ngayon pero someday, mangyayari din yun. Sa dami ng papasalamatan ko ay hindi ko na alam kung maaalala ko pa kayong lahat, kasi kahit mga taong hindi ko naman naging close talaga pero naging part kahit once ng college life ko ay kino-consider ko nang nakatulong sakin. Hayaan nyo someday ay mababayaran ko din lahat ng kabutihan ninyo!
Sa lahat ng nag-congratulate at super happy para sakin nung gabing nalaman ko na pumasa na ko sa math ko, maraming salamat sa pakikisama sa kasayahan ko. Super elated ako nun to the max: barbs, june, mon, leidz, kimi, pam, nj, em, hummy, anna, jas, mitch, izay, tita edna, tito rene, honey , jenna at mikki. Sa 2 taong kahit na hindi ko naman nasabihan pero apparently ay nakarating sa kanila ang balita: ed and glady. at sa nag-email para i-congratulate ako: jog. Maraming salamat sainyo guys!
Ang college life ko nga pala by the way ay hindi lamang resulta ng iisang tao bagkus ay collective effort ng maraming maraming taong nabulabog kong tumulong sakin over the years (nasabi ko na ata to in my previous entries). Although hindi ko alam kung san magsisimula, siguro sisimulan ko na lang sa:
*lola dearies ko
Lola Teddy at Lola Sarah. Syempre sila ang pinakaunang dahilan kung bakit nakapag-aral ako sa UP kahit ayaw ng iba kong mga kamag-anak . I'm sorry pero it was UP or nothing at all. Akalain mong determined na pala ko noon!
*We Are One
kayo ang unang pamilya ko sa UP. Grabe, kung ikekwento ko man yun, it should be a whole another story to tell. Ate Grace, Honey, Izay, Che-Che, Jog, Popsie at Rocky, ika nga ng Fall Out Boy Thanks for the Memories.
*Block N2 friends ko na sina Weng at Jan!
*UP Sorg orgmates and families ko especially batch dos mil!
* Sa lahat ng classmates ko nung high school na sobrang naging close ko nung nag-college kami, sobrang treasured yun.
*UP Explore orgmates and families! I Love UP Explore!
*Geography Department friends. Ang hirap i-categorize kasi mga naging kaibigan ko sa department ay naging orgmates ko at superfriends pa. pero nevertheless maraming salamat pam, kimi, juraine, ed, ela, sarah, mitch, jayvie, leriz, june, essie, jp, raymond, mona, eman, van, aileen, chantel,lady, dean.
*Aurora fieldmates. 2nd year anniv na natin mga tsong!
*Lahat ng maging teachers, professors, instructors ko then and now, whether pinasa nyo ko or not. Pero special thanks kina sir Mandigma, Ma'am Vallesteros, Sir Leyson, Sir Sonny Ortega, Ma'am Nantes, Ma'am Yany. At sa lahat ng mga tumanggap sakin nung nag-prerog ako sa mga klase nyo, grabe, salamat talaga.
*Kina Sered, Ma'am Abad, Mang Cris at Mang Rolly( sa pagtanggap sakin bilang SA for 2 years).
*Sa Bermillo family. Grabe supeeer talaga! For all the support: financially, emotionally and especially spiritually! Sobrang na-feel ko kung panong magkaron ng pamilya dahil sainyo. mahirap i-define kung gano ako nagpapasalamat sainyo sa lahat ng tulong na ibinigay nyo sakin pero maraming maraming salamat talaga.
*sa lahat ng mga naging groupmates ko. sa sobrang dami na nun ay hindi ko na rin kayo matandaan pero you also deserve to be thanked kasi pumasa ko sa subjet na yun kasi ka-group ko kayo. ahaha!
*sa lahat ng mga drivers ng jeep na pumayag na hindi ako magbayad at patawad naman dun sa lahat ng mga jeep na winantutri ko..:(
Maraming Maraming Salamat sainyong lahat kasi either kayo ay: tumulong sakin na magbayad ng tuition fees ko, nagpapakain sakin kapag wala akong pera (which is always!), nagpautang sakin pag wala na kong pera, nanlibre ng pamasahe, nagpakopya ng assignment, nakikinig sa mga laments ko sa math, thesis mates ko, nagbigay ng libreng bluebooks sakin, nagpahiram ng mga ballpen, mga nag-share-a-load at nagload sakin for free. madami pa pero hindi matatapos to kung iisa-isahin ko pa. So in short, nagpapasalamat ako sainyong lahat kasi naging patient kayo sa akin whether as a friend or classmate or orgmate, because of your unwavering support and belief na matatapos ko din ang lahat ng ito someday. at eto na nga yun!!
pero hindi pa dito nagtatapos ang lahat..panibagong simula lang sa isa pang mas masalimuot na mundo.
pero as of now, kampai lang muna ng kampai!!

Official Jacket Summaries
UK Edition
With the release of the book jacket images, Bloomsbury also released the inside flap and back cover texts: Inside Flap:
“Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.
In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.”
Back Cover:
“Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing – if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with?”
US Edition
American cover.
Scholastic has also released the details of the American cover. For the fourth time (and the first since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), the cover is a wraparound. David Saylor, art director at Scholastic, describes the cover as:
“The structures around Harry show evident destruction and in the shadows behind him, we see outlines of other people. On the back cover, spidery hands are outstretched toward Harry. Only when the book is opened does one see a powerful image of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, his glowing red eyes peering out from his hood.”
Mary GrandPré, the illustrator of the US edition books, has not used a monochromic color scheme, as she did with Order of the Phoenix (blue hues) and Half-Blood Prince (green hues). Instead she has reverted back to the color schemes of the first four books.

Happy 2nd bloggie!!!
just because this past few weeks have been kinda chaotic doesn't mean i forgot one of the few things that still keeps me sane...writing. So here's two cheers for our revenge. Yay!

pasintabi sa My Chemical Romance
still hanging by the moment..literally
hindi ko pa talaga alam ang future ko dahil may mga bagay pa na humihila sakin pabalik ng UP at para bang nang-iinis at ayaw pa akong pakawalan after ng pitong taon kong pag-stay sa unibersidad na ito.hindi na nga ako makatulog ng matino since march 30, hanggang ngayong april na ay pinapahirapan pa rin ako. hanggang kailan na nga ba? pagod na kong matulog ng alas-singko ng madaling araw, araw-araw. Pagod na kong mag-isip ng panibagong isasagot sa mga nagtatanong sakin kung grumadweyt na nga ba ko. Natatakot naman akong magplano ahead kasi parang inuunahan ko ang verdict sakin. Basta, this is so not healthy. But what can I do? Ano pa e di ang forever ko na lang ginagawa. ang maghintay! Was I actually meant to be born and wait in this lifetime?? Buti na lang matiyaga ako. ahaha!
that is why i can't answer all your questions yet with clarity..so, bear with me still. and while you're at it say a little prayer for me. :)

how awfully wonderful!
40 days before i hit the magical jersey number of the great MJ and 2 years and 40 days before I become another Josie "Grossie" Gellar in this world. .
(..insert movie soundtrack here..)
(..insert movie soundtrack here..)
pardon the cheesiness..
went to church a while ago. after about 48 years, I actually went back. I guess I still surprise myself from time to time. and as always, i dunno what's with the UP church, but it almost always gives me that big lump in the throat. I'm such a wacko I actually have to stop myself in crying in front of all these happy people. and while I was in there, i realized why..kinda. It was nostalgic for me because I still clearly remember when me and my housemates used to go there (and even you honey for one quite memorable time). Suddenly, the strong emotion of missing your sorta family in the university engulfed me, hence my being sentimental. Gosh. I really,really miss you Ate Grace, Popsie, Jog, Izay, Che-Che and Honey. Magparamdam naman kayo..If only there's a way...
###
actually nagparamdam na beforehand si Jog kagabi lang at si Honey kanina lang.
