love actually
I just finished watching this movie five minutes ago. It's a 2003 romantic comedy movie with a gorgeous cast and a plot revolving around these themes:
- love is elementary
- love unspoken
- love at work
- love and politics
- love lasts a lifetime
- love as a second language
- love rocks on
The juliet-mark, sarah-karl, and harry-karen love stories were sad. I can so relate to mark when he said "it's called self-preservation", an answer to juliet's "but you never liked me".
There were a lot of cute scenes but i must say a hidden sarah silently saying "YES!" while karl was just behind an adjacent wall was funny. I hope and pray i won't become like sarah who had to choose her duty and love of her psychologically ill brother over a hot guy she's clearly crazy about or like karen when she confronts the reality that her husband is having/going to have an affair. It's so sad...
The music Love is all around brings back Four Weddings and a Funeral memories...hello high school and Hugh Grant! Hugh Grant never fails to make my heart flutter with his British accent and rumpled-puppy-eyed-look. And he's a good dancer *deadpan expression*
No regrets buying the PhP75.00 CD hehehe in fact i'm gonna buy the OST for this movie...ay, i'll download na lg, free pa! lol

all the best laid plans of mice and men....
manila was fun, chaotic, fattening and expensive lol i'm such a miser. i just can't get over the restaurant prices. i mean 65 pesos for an iced tea?? damn...
we were at glorietta the night before the bombing so it was just plain luck that we weren't in the vicinity the next day because we decided to go to greenhills instead. manila was scary. the taxi drivers even scarier.
and oh, blooper:
taxi driver: saan banda kayo sa santillian?
maggie: basta sa st. illian's inn
taxi driver: anong baranggay ba yun?
maggie: eh ba't hindi mo alam
taxi driver: ...
along santillian street
taxi driver: kakanan ba o kakaliwa?
me: hanapin lg natin yung st. illian's inn...we trust you manong!
my companions: *guffaws* *snickers*
taxi driver hindi na nakapagsalita hahahahaha
oh the drama before and during the manila escapade...first there was the last-minute decision of two of our kabarkadas to join the manila trip, find-the-hotel-that-could-accomodate-all-of-us panic, them being late and taking the last flight, them going to a cousin's condo instead of staying w/ us in the hotel, bitchy dialogs between two "best friends" over conti's menu, taking a picture of KC concepcion (she's so gwapa, buot, kinis and THIN) and maggie (a kabarkada) and then refusing KC's offer to have a picture with her(hahaha shit, can i say STARSTRUCK?), moving to another hotel to cut on expenses, and EK mending all our barkada's squabbles and differences...
too bad the space shuttle kinda bonked out...we were like the next batch(or second) to ride it. it was another blessing in disguise because i was having second thoughts riding the damn thing....i mean hello??
who's the wuzz (wimp + pussy)?
nclex results will be snail mailed after a month. i don't know how i did. i was pretty confident i did good early in the exam and was expecting the exam to stop at 75. but it didn't stop until question #126, so i don't know. it's CAT (computer adaptive test) so the number of questions doesn't say whether you pass or fail. passing depends on the test taker's performance and if the results are maintained above the passing line in the graph.
plans to meet w/ friends and classmates never materialized because of the schedule, the bombing, and me unfamiliar with the city. too little time, too many things to do.
i did meet aimee, fellow komsai, at trident tower because she was with her sister and brother-in-law who were also taking the test.
iloilo is safe. but i could get used to manila hehehe

American and Filipino waiting for the elevator to open.
Elevator opens. Another Filipino inside.
Filipino outside the elevator: Bababa ba?
Filipino inside the elevator: Bababa!
American: I'll be damned...

$$$ka-ching$$$
i was referred by my college classmate to this new social networking site that pays you everytime your page (and up to the 10th degree friend's page) is viewed...best of all, registration is free!
so why not try it, noh?
http://www.yuwie.com/yuwie.asp?r=118883
----------
taken from the site:
How much you can make...
We can't say exactly how much, but here's an example of what could happen. The chart below assumes you refer 3people, and those 3 people refer 3, then those refer 3, through 10 levels, and each referral gets 1000 page views for the month, and the month's RSR is $0.50.
LEVELS - REFERRALS - PAGEVIEWS - EARNINGS
1---------------3---------------3,000---------------$0.15
2---------------9---------------9,000---------------$0.45
3---------------27-------------27,000--------------$0.54
4---------------81-------------81,000--------------$1.62
5---------------243-----------243,000-------------$4.86
6---------------729-----------729,000-------------$14.58
7--------------2,187--------2,187,000-------------$43.74
8--------------6,561--------6,561,000-------------$328.05
9-------------19,683------19,683,000-------------$984.15
10------------59,049------59,049,000-------------$8,857.35
TOTAL------88,572 -----88,572,000------------$10,235.49/monthly
Sounds easy, so why not try it? If everyone simply refers 3 people to Yuwie and actively encourages their downline to do the same...then we can stand to make some decent money here.
Normally only around 10% to 20% of your referral tree member will actively use Yuwie.
Why? Because most people like the concept of making money but precious few will do what it takes to have as much as they want. But don’t worry if 10% will use, you will still earn $1,000.00 monthly….. not bad, isn’t it?
What is counted as page view? --- those pages you view for at least 3seconds before going to another page.
-------
Getting Paid - Non US Citizens - This needs to be done!!!
You need to go in to the account settings then click on Tax Information, then click on I am not a Us citizen. Link - https://secure.yuwie.com/members/settings/notus.asp
Once on this page you can fill out the form to say that you are nothing to do with the US and that no part of the money that you make from Yuwie is anything to do with the US.
Once you have filled out this page you can be paid by yuwie as soon as you make the minimum amount of $50. Its easy!
so why not try it, noh?

ants everywhere part 2
a red ant crawling and biting...INSIDE MY EAR!
that's how i woke up this morning.
i was in tears because i can't get the ant off my ear and the pain was excruciating. i poured some baby oil in my ear so that the ant will be killed but it didn't work...panicking, my parents rushed me to the nearest hospital (iloilo mission hospital) but surprise, surprise, they had to refer us to another hospital because they don't have the necessary equipment for EENT cases...WTF!
the whole time i can feel the ant moving and biting. this would be the first on my list of painful ways to die.
on the second hospital, the resident had to flush/irrigate my ear until the damn ant came off. now i'm temporarily and partially deaf on my left ear.
moral of the story:
don't rush to iloilo mission hospital for EENT cases. go to st. paul's hospital instead. and oh, put on some earplugs before you sleep so that insects won't crawl inside your ears. in case it happens, pull your pinna(upper ear segment) up and back for adults; for kids aged less than 8, pull pinna down and back, and then pour enough baby oil to kill the insect.
i really really HATE red ants right now.

ants everywhere
i hate red ants. i always wake up with their bites. they're under my pillow, my comforter, under my bed. i tried sleeping at my parent's bed last night. guess what? the damn ants still bit me until i woke up (true it's already past noon, but hey i need my sleep)! tsk tsk
ever since my lola died two years ago, we always associate ants (black) with her. when her favorite apo came home for the burial, she said there were black ants near her plane seat. when my brother(the favorite apo's fraternal twin) had a heart attack, black ants were also found at the ER bed he was lying in. everytime somebody is sick, worried, or in dire circumstance, the black ants' presence will comfort them in thinking lola is watching over them.
could it be my lola telling me in her own way "hija, bugtaw na. lapit na lg exam mo, tama na na nga tulog." ?
lola ha, nag change color ka na gle? daw hair dye ba. easy on the bites, ok?
