LuNa eeeeh!?

on face value.

I think my relatives are far too kind. especially my aunties and my mum. they all say I’m pretty and shit, but heck how can I believe them when they’re my relatives? I wonder if they knew about my dream to become a millionaire, that’s why they’re sucking up to me this early…

also, for some reason, my brother and sister’s friends (from different schools, mind you) say I’m pretty and cool and all that shit– all because of my ability to draw, and maybe they’re fooled by my friendster pics lol. I wish they’d commission me, though. that would be more than welcome than whatever the hell they’re saying. *sigh*

random ramblings # whatever!

When I was in Nursery I partly dreamed of being a teacher, because it meant I was a leader and I was the best. My teacher often called me to read stuff on our books whenever her throat would hurt, and I was happy as hell whenever I did. I didn't specifically want to be a teacher-- I just wanted to be a leader and the best among everyone else. Because it meant I would read the book infront of them. I also had a fascination in drawing things, although all I could remember among my nursery artworks was something that had a large blob thing with a house and three people inside. Apparently the blob ate our house, me, dad, and mum. I could recall telling that morbid story to mum with great fear, although I couldn't remember how she reacted to my story. But mighads I was scared to death that time, and I was almost crying because I didn't want a monster eating up my mum.

Kinder came, and my teacher and many of my classmates liked my clay sculptures and figures. It was then that I wanted to be a clay... something. I didn't know the concept of artist then, and all I wanted was to make beautiful and great stuff with clay.

When I learned about the planets and how they looked like during my first years in elementary I wanted to be an astronaut, and see all the planets with my very own eyes, and own a huge observatory. I even drew that dream for an art class in grade 3. However, when I found out about the qualifications to be an astronaut and all the math and science things I have to memorize and understand, I realized I didn't want to be an astronomer, but rather just see the planets with my own eyes.

In grade 4 I wanted to become a detective and solve crimes and kick butts. I was heavily influenced with kicking butts by all the cartoons and anime that I watched, and I wanted to solve puzzles and mysteries so I wanted to be a detective. Someone warned be about the dangers of such job, but I ignored it. I was even serious in taking up criminology in college (yes, I already had that dream at grade 4). While everyone was going on about being a doctor or a lawyer, I wanted to be a famous detective. I wanted to work internationally. Be sought after. Be one of the best there is.

In grade six I started writing stories a bit more seriously. I became a some sort of a member of the school newspaper, although I didn't get to write much articles (I only remember writing one, it was a collab, and passing two drawings). At some point I wanted to give up being a detective to write more stories. I even started saying I wanted to take up journalism too in college.

In my first year of high school my dream of being a detective was gone (as I realized I love living, and many policemen aren't that much worth the trust and help) and was completely replaced by journalism, because it was the only college course I knew that offers lessons in writing, and I wanted to write stories. Fictional stories.

And then I started doing my own comics, all thanks to my first exposure to manga (pokemon tankoubon) and also because of Culture Crash. I also wanted to become a comic book writer.

Years went by, and in my fourth year in high school I realized I had no college program to go to because I definitely didn't want to become a journalist (I wanted to write fiction, not non-fic) but I wasn't really a very good artist so I felt like I won't make it if I went to fine arts instead (and mum would kill me, I think. they had that "FA is for people who wanted to waste their money" mentality.).

To my utmost luck I found the course very relevant to my interests and isn't cluttered too much by unnecessary subjects (that is, when I realized what these comm subjects contained and brought about). I had wanted to learn animation and be one of the best animator in the world and entertain everyone like Hayao Miyazaki. I also wanted to raise the animation industry in the Philippines, because when it comes to animation I usually only hear about Japan and USA and a few european ones and ones from china. I also had long wanted to animate the stories that I was (and is) making and show them to people to entertain them.

So that's how I got in FAVC. Thank goodness. If I wasn't able to make it in UP, I would probably be a miserable shell of myself at La Salle studying communication or psychology or, if my parents insisted, be rotting away in UST in a miserable shell of myself in journalism or comm arts.

What I do hate about my course, however, are the comm subjects. They're boring as hell, and as of the moment not one of the things I learned in my comm subjects were integrated in my output in my film classes.

Why oh why can't FAVC be in FA instead? T___T

ay kabayo! D:

I was rereading Pugad Baboy 17 when Ms. Nobatos, a teacher in the comic book, cracked me up once more. Seeing how she was always teased for looking very much like a horse by Sabaybunot (another character), I was reminded of a story that had my aunties laughing for like an eternity.

We were at my cousins at Carmona, and the aunties and older cousins were talking together, sharing stories, chismis, and jokes (which was rare, as jokes were often found at the men's table). I was bored, I had read all that I could read and my cousins weren't doing anything interesting so I listened to whatever they were talking about.

Apparently, there was a time when my Ninang was living alone at her house. Suddenly there was an earthquake, and my ninang panicked like hell. She immediately went into her living room and, upon seeing a familiar brown mass framed by a plastic frame, she kneeled infront ofit and started praying in the darkness. The next day, to her horror, she realized that what she mistook as a picture of jesus in a frame was actually a drawing/painting of a horse (which really bugged me because it wasn't exceptional at all yet it was displayed on her wall).


Another funny story that I heard from them was that one time when almost all of the Hornillos people went to somewhere at Cagayan to go to a funeral or some important event that concerns the family. They were riding my uncle's van and, as the road was really rough, the van keeled sideways and fell. My oldest Hornillos auntie, Auntie Olive, suddenly started screaming and complaining, and when everyone else managed to calm her down she said that Lolo Jijing bit her on her leg. What was funny (not to mention stupid) was the fact that Lolo Jijing couldn't have bitten her even if he accidentally or intentionally wanted to because he had absolutely  NO teeth.


too bad my aunties rarely gather round anymore, mainly because most of them are now working and living at Ireland.

LuNa eeeeh!?

kung makapagpa-bata ka naman.

may advantage din pala ang pag-re-research (aka stalk) tungkol sa isang taong naging interesado ka at some point.



mas madaling mawala ang interes mo, lalo na pag may nakita kang picture na naloka ka.












takte anong pumasok sa utak ko.




pero syet he really kinda looks... kinda great. kind of. lol.

YOU!!!!!

I have declared that I HATE you. I wasn't expecting to catch even a fucking glimpse of your vain self this year, and you just have to ruin it. If I was an impatient and brutal (well, more brutal) bitch, I would've punched your face. But since I don't give a shit anymore, I could only smile lamely and the words "vain" and "self-centered bastard" ran across my mind a few times.

Sometimes I wish you were gay.

I have long wanted to post this.

Exhibit A

you think everyone likes you because you’re funny. you think people will give in to you because you look like the fucking victim. sorry to burst your bubble, but not everyone thinks you’re fucking adorable. not everyone wants to be your friend, or thinks of you as a friend. not everyone thinks your perkiness is humorous or whatever shit you think it is. sometimes you go waaaaaaay over the top. I could barely stand you when we checked out your shindig. I could barely hold back my tongue, and instead I just said I was bored and asked the others if we could go.


Exhibit B

I don’t really hate you, but I can’t bear to look at you for longer than three seconds. No really. Your beach brown hair looks effing beach brown, which I hate, and you really look like you’re trying too hard. honestly you look like a psba student trying to fit in with the atenean elites. I have nothing against psba people, but since it’s beside ateneo and I have no fucking idea how psba goes, I’m using that school.


Exhibit C

I used to like you because you kinda looked like someone that I find cute. Unfortunately, for some reason you exuded that weird confidence and you think that everything you say is funny, when actually more than half of the people find what you’re saying is not funny, but you are, because of the fucking effort you put in to sound funny, but you aren’t funny. yes, I don’t find anything you say funny. I find it bland, and trying too much. it’s even worse than Exhibit B. Exhibit B, I can tolerate for a few seconds. You, I can’t tolerate you after a few words. Even one word is enough to make me want to kick someone. Sometimes I want to embarrass you infront of everyone, but since I'm still a person of reason, I opt not to.


Exhibit D

From the very beginning I didn’t like you, mostly because of your deep voice and loud way of talking. I don’t generally hate people who talk loudly, but whenever I hear you talk since the start of the app process I hated hearing you. I hated nica the first time I heard her, bebe knows that, I told her about it while she was talking during our dokyu class, but I found out nica’s personality and I managed to ignore the voice and like her as a person. but you, nonono, I dunno but I really couldn’t tolerate your voice. You may be my friend’s friend, but that doesn’t mean I will like you too. anyway as if you care about being liked by me. I know it’s kind of unfair to not like you because of your voice or by the way you talk (and move, sometimes). if I wanted you to talk in a more subdued manner it would be like asking me to be kind and charitable and not scared of those fucking street children that look like they’re spawn of gremlins. the ugly ones.


Exhibit E

I hope you’d stop being so vain and self-shitting. To make things better, I hope you don’t find anyone.


Exhibit F

sometimes I don’t know you anymore. and sometimes I don’t trust you. which is kind of sad, because if I started not trusting someone, it's never coming back.


Exhibit G

If you kill yourself I swear you’re not going to die alone.


 


 

ten points each for anyone who guesses an exhibit right. xD

because risa and otani made me think (long version)

(copied from my other blog, with a few edits here and there for the sake of ambiguity/secrecy lol)

I quit.

It’s hopeless. So fucking hopeless. And I’m tired of it. Nothing’s going to happen anyway, and he’ll be gone soon. It’s just a few more months. And these things pass, anyway.

Ugh, why do I have to be so unlucky in this shit? Eversince elem it’s been hopeless. I don’t even get to have a decent guy have a crush on me. There’s one, who, they say, has had a crush on me eversince we became classmates (maybe grade 1), but he’s a pervert. He may be a genius, a walking encyclopedia, but he’s a freaking pervert who would pretend to slip and fall just to see what color your panties are. Come to think of it, maybe he’s the reason why us girls started wearing shorts under our overalls/skirts. Anyway, thankfully he moved to another school during grade 6, somewhere faaaar far away from ours. What bothers me now, though, is he’s invited me at ym, friendster, and multiply. If someone up there loves me, his obsession should be over since high school or grade 6, and this is just for contacts. Yes, I’m prone to paranoia.

Ugh. My first crush was maybe at least ten years older than me, kuya of a friend I made during an office excursion to baguio with mum. I never got to talk to him decently, I think (heck that was when I was six or seven years old, I think), and I never got to see him again. We have a picture of him somewhere, and when I last saw his face it was a wonder why he became my crush.

And then I had a male best friend during back in grade 1 and 2. I don’t even know why we were best friends. I don’t even know if we were. But we often had writing competition, to see who had the sharpest pencil, and who wrote the smallest. He was better. And he was smarter than me. I think. And he was one of the richest in the class. I don’t know why I added that. And girls said he looked cute, and actually a lot from our class had a crush on him, even those from other crushes. I couldn’t see why. And for some reason, we ate lunch together, either in our classroom or at the canteen. There was one time when I was embarrassed and scared at the same time, and I think that made me kinda conscious around him. We were eating our lunch at the cafeteria (I think my ulam was hotdog, as usual) when three of my close girl friends occupied a table near ours. They called me to eat with them, so I picked up my lunch things. But then he stopped me, saying that there was a superstition that if I didn’t finish my meal in one place, that if I transferred seats, I would break up with my future husband and have another one. Being a gullible kid (and he was smarter than me, so I trusted his knowledge more) I got scared (what the) so I remained in my seat. It was really embarrassing though, because it was then I realized I was the only one who ate with a boy, and most of my friends were with our female classmates. Sadly, when I thought about having a crush on him, he moved away when we were in grade three.

Near December of my grade three year, there was a sudden boom in beads and bead jewelry. I became some sort of a bead leader because I had the most number of beads (I dunno why though, I wasn’t interested in it at first) and I sold the most products (which they destroy to get the beads, urgh). I was working with three or four classmates and I was suddenly given the burden of having to choose whether I would tell the truth or suffer the consequences. Too lazy to move, I chose the truth. The bitches asked the most popular question in these games–  who’s my effing crush. I pointed out one of our classmates who I kinda had a crush on at that time. The bitches swore they won’t tell anyone about it, as customary of the game and as friends. Then for some reason, two of the bitches went to the guy, who was also helping out with the “business” (no, he’s 100% not gay, I assure you), and they went and chatted the whole breaktime. The girls were laughing like hell, and then to my utter surprise, one of them, the volleyball expert, suddenly shouted “Barbie, may gusto rin sya sayo!” (”Barbie, he likes you too!”) o___o Nothing else happened after that, except he gave me a necklace that didn’t fit my neck, heck it was like a choker, and we became the leaders of the christmas party thingy for our class. Now that I think about it, maybe he wasn’t really my crush afterall. It think I only chose that guy just to answer the effing question and avoid my fingers getting hurt. The ‘crush’ lasted until after grade three ended lol

Three years passed by, and we had a new classmate. I wasn’t really paying any attention tohim. Hell I didn’t look nor talk to him unless I really had to. But when we became groupmates at a music project I realized why a lot of the girls had a crush on him. But I think I had a crush on him for, like a month or something, because he really wasn’t my type, even though he’s a really purty guy.

And… I didn’t like anyone all throughout high school. I knew everyone too much and been classmates with them for too long a time that I really couldn’t have a crush on any of them.

Oh shit. I did have one. He was the son of our art teacher, and he was a medicine student at UP Manila. He often went to school to pick up his mum, and oftentimes, when I stayed up till late at school with my high school friends trying to finish a project or whatever, I would see him  play basketball with his old mother and the popular school dog that he himself saved from being a hospital guinea pig. Urgh, once more, my affinity for older guys showed up.

And then.. that bastard. Urgh, I’ve had enough of your vanity and shit. I’ve had enough time thinking. I knew  I wouldn’t do it one way or another. Good luck to you, and may you find someone who would reach your fucking standards and keep up with your self-consciousness and vanity.

Urrgh. Maybe I am going to be an old maid. D: Maybe I should’ve moved to another table, afterall.

the royal king pt.1

for some reason my dad calls himself "the royal king", as well as other names. well, I think it's my fault, because I made this story about our heritage and dad discovered that story and he made me tell it to our relatives on his side and they made me tell the story over an over again. -_______-

anyway, the so-called "royal king" is always dreaded whenever he comes home. sometimes we siblings wish he wouldn't go home, for the simple reason that it causes a lot of trouble for us.

for one, it causes panic amongst us. the moment we find out that he's outside of our gate, or the moment we hear the car parking infront of our house, we three siblings would dash like crazy upstairs (particularly me) and then you would hear banging and shuffling and sounds of moving and flying stuff. 30 seconds (and a crazy closet) later, you would hear bangings on the stairs as we run back down, and then we would take a deep breath, open the door, and greet HRH (his royal highness).

dad's the OC type, even though he's kind of lazy (urgh, so I got it from him..). unlike me, who didn't mind my stuff in disarray, he wanted everything to be orderly and neat. even though my room's alright, he would complain and say it's utterly messy and "very unbecoming of a lady". oh come on. with all my stuff, how the hell am I supposed to make my room look fucking "neat" and "orderly"?

secondly, he's my rival when it comes to the pc (and an even bigger rival for my brother, who uses the pc for, like, only 20% of the time).

third, and the worst of all, he forces us (well, mainly me) to go to the church and attend mass, while he sleeps again or watches tv or bum infront of the pc with loud country or whatever music he's into right now. ugh.

and now with the holiday of the dead, he's bound to stay home not only for the weekend but for the rest of the week as well. AAARGG.
