Bababa ba?

maskarahan by sound

natutuwa ka pa ba
sa pagtawa sa likod ng maskara?
maya’t maya pinipigil ang ngiti
lagi na lang nakagapos
ang iyong tunay na sarili
parang bato ang iyong pisngi
di marinig daing ng konsiyensiya
at di mo na malaman
kung kaninong anino ba
ang nakakabit sa iyong paa

hubarin na
ang iyong maskara

di kilala ang nakikita sa salamin
isang silip at pinipilit mong alamin
at kulayan ang larawan
kilalanin siya muli
lahat tayo kung minsa’y
nagkukunwari

nagsasawa ka na ba
sa pagluha sa likod ng maskara?
tuwing nakikisama’t nagsasaya
nakangiti pero sa loob
may tinatago na drama
di halata sa iyong mata

nakikinig lang sa hilig ng iba
kahit ano sasabihin mo
para lang di mapahiya
matakpan lang ang iyong mukha

hubarin na
ang iyong maskara
di kilala ang nakikita sa salamin
isang silip at pinipilit mong alamin
at kulayan ang larawan
kilalanin siya muli
lahat tayo kung minsa’y
nagkukunwari

UP Statistical Society’s grand alumni homecoming. So kung Statsoc alumnus kayo, taralets, taralets!

… it strikes again.

There were around three attacks this week: Keith was attacked on Monday, Tonico on Tuesday, and Ate Lei this afternoon.

Little did I know, I was to be the final victim for this week.

Beware of the higad.

Kelangan pa ba ang asukal kung ayaw naman talaga ang kapeng napakapait?

Ngayong pwede nang iwan ang kape, ano na mangyayari sa asukal?

Kinasal na pala ako! *gulat face* To a person who looks like my Mom (only thinner, hehe).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Kidding.

To your left is my parents’ wedding pic. 27 years have passed since they were wed.

Happy 27th anniv, parents dear. We love you both. :)

I should be sleeping right now. Just had a long, long, loooooong day. Math 53 exams, StatSoc Smash and Ekek, Kuya Tal’s bday celebration.

But…

Guitar Hero is just too fun to pass up.

Salamat Chax, Dan, sa munti nating salu-salo sa tapat ng bahay ko. I really needed that break. Sa uulitin! ^_^

I’ve been listening to the Mangyan-Hanunoo’s Lullaby (for memorization purposes) when I fell asleep on our couch.

Hahaha. Good luck sa MuL9.

I have this habit of waking up early on a school day, just to go straight to our computer after doing the morning stuff (y’know, eating, bathing, stuff).

Sometimes I just feel the need to check if some people made pahabol in their blogs, comments, or in their e-mails. Sometimes, just like now, to write.

I guess it’s just the “free-est” time I have. In the afternoons and evenings, there are just too many distractions (plus, acad work)

Right now, as I am writing this, I feel that I have been neglecting my blog. Back then, in my peak blogging times, I would write about anything and everything around 3 times a day. Now I would just write about nonsensical stuff around once every 3 days.

Burn-out, I say.

But other upper-classmen say that the burn-out in the upper years are worse than what I am experiencing today. Mine was just heightened by the fact that I am an applicant at the UP Statistical Society (I still have 8 tambay hours, 60 signatures, 4 costume week days, the apps’ night, the formal interview, and hopefully, the challenge day.) Midterms, too, are fast approaching.

Well, good luck na lang, hahaha. Pero malalampasan din ang mga ito, diba?

Pero natatawa na lang ako. Naaalaala ko kasi nung highschool ko. Akala ko ambigat na ng mga ginagawa noon. Hindi pala. :p

It feels good having written SOMETHING here. After the new year, I haven’t written much. Hahaha. Miss y’all.

Monday is cosplay day.

Let’s go co-apps!

Dahil wala lang, bagong ayos at pintura ng apartment naming magkakapatid, naisipan kong sagutin ang walang kwentang survey na ito.

I just really needed a break, wahahaha.

Hello everybody. Sorry if I am not replying to your comments, tags and stuff. Right now, andaming gawain. Ika nga ni Ilsa sa tagboard sa kanan, sobrang bugbog kami sa school.

So I haven’t been writing/replying because I can’t think of anything to write because my mind is soooooo cluttered.

Wahahaha.

See ya guys.

Kuya Vlad: Hindi ka lang papasa ng application, dapat hindi ka maging under probation.

(Ang under probation ay ang status na parang member ka na, pero hindi pa… Gets? :p)

Nakakapagod. Nakakapagod lang talaga.

But I can’t quit. Hinding hinding hinding hindi pwede.

Mahirap magbasa ng tao.

Humility…
