I just got to thinking…
It’s been two weeks since I last logged onto Friendster. I
must say I missed playing around with my profiles, my pictures and my blog in
particular. I suppose for a non-techie like myself, being able to do something
worthwhile with a computer is an achievement in itself. And so I’m back to
writing with my hunt and peck system that my pathetic Ateneo computer education
failed to correct. At least I can type more than one word per second. A A A A A A A.
See, I did that in two. :-)
Last
night was the pre-bar operations of the UP College of Law. It was held at the
Sheraton Plaza Hotel somewhere in Manila (or is that in Makati? San na kasi
yung trusted navigator ko?). Basically, we ran errands for the barristers who
needed all the love and affection that their brods-sisses-orgmates-friends or
lovers could provide them to calm their nerves. There was this scene where I
bought one small pack of Chippy for a barrister and it went like this:
Female
Barrister: “Hi, how much?” (take note, she tilted her head a)
Julz:
I couldn’t resist, I shook my head a little from side to side and asked “Sorry?”
I’ve
never met the person before (or “hindi ko lang talaga sha maaalala”) pero
nagtawanan kami after that. I don’t know what her reason is, but I have mine.
We were also
tasked to handle the photocopying and the distribution of the “insider-tips”
for the barristers so that they’d have something to cram when they wake up in
the morning. It’s funny; one guy was even tasked to read the tips to a
barrister. I guess some people just needed to have someone to blame in case
they fail. Haha… I’m just kidding. I hope UP passes all our takers!!! 
I shouldn’t joke about such matters. After all, I was feeling really nervous
kanina. In a way, I was feeling kerby vicariously already. NOT a good feeling.
There
was so much food at the hotel. I personally helped smuggle loads of chicken and
gravy (and salad too hehe) in through my duffel bag. I suppose that should
account for how my clothes smelled even after I took showers throughout the
night. Kenny Rogers never smelled that badly before (hahahaha think what you
want, eh sa mabaho talaga yung chicken). I tried crab, salmon, pasta, ice
cream, chicken, beef and different types of junk food all night. Saraaaaaap…
Maybe that should account for my upset stomach. It was my first time to watch House (Dr. House? whatever.) too. Interesting. Psycho-doctors and medical mumbo jumbo interest me. Dun kasi, WALA talaga akong alam. Hmm, popcorn na lang kulang and i would have stayed in their room all night haha.
Oh,
and I had my own room at the hotel! Haha. Actually, I only had my own bed. Mr.
Emerson Banez (He, of the “Reasonable Man”-boyfriend standard, acclaim) and Ms.
Polka “mean boxer mobster” Gan shared the room with me. Which reminds me, Polka
went home at around 7am without even saying goodbye (fell asleep kasi around 5+). Maybe it’s coz I slept on
her bed instead of sharing one with Emer. Harmless naman ako a? haha. Nah, I
fell asleep waiting for the Send off. Sorry
Too bad, I wanted to wish everyone the best!
Zang
Ziyi was at the hotel pala. OR should I say, Atty. Ziyi Zang. She was with her
beau “Mr. Redbull”. Dang, now that’s what I call a powerful couple.
I just finished watching this Japanese cartoon which
Christian lent me 3 weeks ago. If you listen carefully, the names of the main
characters would sound something like “Brandong Hito”, “Bab pandomak”, “Big
Dodi”. If you ask me, they’re not exactly English, much less Japanese-sounding
names. You could swear you’ve heard them in some of Lito Lapid’s movies.
Sumakit ulo ko sa kaka-watashiwa whatever ng mga characters. If not for the
English subtitles, uminit na siguro ulo ko My portable player’s
fastforward had never been this overused before
Just kidding. The
series is ok since I like violent movies in general. I just wonder sometimes what
Christian and other addicts like him think about when watching things like those. Now if
it were Transformers or Dragonball, I’d have understood. Kasi na-addict din ako dun.. pati Dinoriders.. and Dinosaucers. Was a freak as a kid. I memorized a lot of dinosaur names. As in a LOT!
I’m getting distracted… and i’m getting listless.
Something’s stuck in my head and I just got to thinking…
Remember how we were
all young once and we had this concept that we want to live a fairytale life (Think back to highschool)?
It’s funny how reality often doesn’t equate to what we want to happen. But we
deal with it. The best we can
We can only hope that we get lucky along the way
even as we strive our best to attain our goals. I think it’s the same with
human (interpersonal, how else haha) relationships.
Things will not always work out the way you want
them to.
But it’s a matter of intention too.
Sometimes, being in good faith is all that matters.
Let’s leave the matter of interpretation for other
people.
Smile everyone, this is just my opinion.=)

“Remember how we were all young once and we had this concept that we want to live a fairytale life (Think back to highschool)? It’s funny how reality often doesn’t equate to what we want to happen. But we deal with it. The best we can :-)” <— Apparently, we have more or less, the same perspective on this. Its quite hilarious of me to admit having wanted to put “fairy princess” on the list of jobs I’d want to have as a child. Heck! My current occupation’s nothing close to it.
You, atty esquivias will be goin through the same insanely stressful event next year. Am I correct? Good luck. If it doesn’t work out, I can always lend you my much loved job title - “fairy princess”. (how generous of me, dont you think?):-p
BTW: why do you high light certain words if highlighting it do not imply anything? you do it coz it just looks pretty? if you claim that they stress certain points, then it follows that my theory from your last blog post is correct. so you mean, you just write things as is? you have no underlying principle to it? oh come on! you’re way smarter than this. enlighten me.

hi jules! i agree with the thought of having wanted to live a fairytale life. i’ve always wanted to have that perfect life, i.e., where i was a princess and there was my prince… hehehe. but seriously. i wanted to be one badly. but that’s not my point. first, what’s up with you and chickens? now you mention kenny rogers (had it for lunch today - a date with my blockmates). second, what’s up with the last section of your blog? too ambiguous for my taste. but then, as you said, it’s only your opinion!

1) miss tin pilapil: i just realized na ka-first name mo pala ex ko. wala lang, need to catch up on things with her.
2) there really isn’t anything into the kfc blog. i like highlighting words so that if my writing style isn’t colorful enough for my “intellectual” readers, then at least the blog itself would be colorful hehe
check my tsn, 1.82 lang ang grade ko. woops.. kay kitch pala un. wag mo na alamin ung grade ko, maiiyak ka lang. haha
3)hindi pa ako lawyer (hindi nga ako sure na papasa ako ng 4th yr e…)so don’t jinx it by referring to me as an atty.
4) i just realized im more jologs than i previously thought
September 6th, 2006 at 7:49 am
miss izzy zamora:
first of all, nakausap ko na ung sniper mo. yung nakatambay ng malcolm building… sabi ko magkaibigan lang talaga tayo for the ff reasons:
1) baka palayasin ako ng tatay mo mula sa pilipinas
2) may boyfriend ka na
3) may boyfriend din ako
4) i jump you jump, remember? hehe
5)pa corny na ako ng pa corny
as for my thing with chickens:
1) i had kfc for brunch at starbucks kanina (for some reason, that didn’t sound nice.. pero just in case my “interpretators”, remember, goodfaith…)
2) sorry, na-windang ka siguro sa number 1.
3) do you know of anyone (aside from remir and sir solomon lumba) who doesn’t like chicken?!
4) write a blog… il bash ur comment box as well.. haha just kidding
September 6th, 2006 at 7:55 am
GUYS, ADD OUR NEW FRIENDSTER ACCOUNT: julzchristianremir@yahoo.com
when i say “our”, that means, myself, christian and remir’s.
we’re part of the four horsemen of Section C 2007.
the fourth member depends on whether you’re looking at the original version
(EMER BANEZ)
or the
amended version
(JON ASINAS)
so really, 5 kami sa FOUR HORSEMEN. don’t bother asking why.
magulo lang talaga kami kausap hehe
September 7th, 2006 at 4:25 am
contrary to what you say:
1. i don’t have a sniper.
2. hindi ka papalayasin ng daddy ko sa bansa
3. i won’t jump when you jump because i’m not fond of jumping (was a poor jumper in PE)
as you correctly said:
1. i have a boyfriend
2. you have a boyfriend
kidding.
oh, my mom ain’t fond of chicken. and oh, i won’t write a blog for you to bash! you better find some other way… or maybe not. you’ve been picking on me anyway!
September 7th, 2006 at 9:24 am
kawawa ka naman. Nandito na ang “Four” Horsemen. Wala nang magbabasa ng blog entries mo.
Mashado kang mahilig sa manok.
September 7th, 2006 at 9:25 am

smile everyone, this is just my opinion.=)
September 7th, 2006 at 9:27 am
huh??? i logged out na from dawn’s account!!! i’m kaka, or karen. wag bulol.
September 7th, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Kaka: sorry?… i know you’re hinting at something… pero di ko talaga ma gets.
minsan ko lang inaamin na nabubulol ako sa r’s ko… saying your name accounts for some of those times. and sometimes…maybe, just maybe… i do it on purpose
September 8th, 2006 at 12:50 am
Lahat ng nasa team 7, puro gwapo at magagaling… pero ikaw ang pinaka gwapo… at si emer ang pinaka magaling. hehe

September 14th, 2006 at 11:26 am
julz: anlabo nyo. bakit hindi na lang 5 horsemen since 5 naman kayo sa pic? what’s with the number 4? special ba yun? =)
janssen: ikaw talaga napaghahalata ka na. akala ko pa naman lihim na pagtingin ito. ndi pala. hehe =)
