During my Black Shirt Week
Obviously, I'm not a good photographer; as evidenced by the poor lighting.
4th Week: Black Shirt Week
Since I had a lot of black shirts in my closet and since I don't want to wear the shirt I wore for this week in the next week, I decided to wear black this whole week.
As you see, I don't generally feel good on this week. But because I want myself to be dispelled of negative energies, I'll just list some good things that happened this week:
---
1. Joan's birthday treat
Regina and I were reviewing last Wednesday at the Math Bldg so that the things we need to review would not accumulate. That day was Joan's birthday, and Regina asked me to buy ensaymada at Eurobake, to which I complied. So when Joan "arrived" and after giving the ensaymada, I learned that she will treat Regina at Yellow Cab. I dragged myself along (Joan agreed, anyway) un-shamefully. I was really ashamed after but because of that, I learned a lot about her. LOL.
So we went to TechnoHub and we went to National Bookstore first. To my surprise, I saw the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I skimmed through the pages and saw the tag price at the end (I have no intention of buying that, though). Regina jokingly told me that she will give me the Twilight Series books as a present for me for my birthday, to which I gladly "puked" (LOL!).
So after that, we went to Joan's "feast". Joan and I interchanged the words pizza and pasta. (ROFL) It's my first time to eat there and it was really great. The chili sauce was great, the pizza was great, the pasta was great, and the ice cream was great. That was a very filling night. Thanks, Joan! Belated Happy Birthday!
2. New "org-mate" and friend
I first heard of Sami last semester. He was so great that I was annoyed at that time (maybe I was just insecure/envious/jealous/whatever). But this semester, we are classmates at a subject. But it was just this week that I really interacted with him.
I only know one thing about him that I learned from Aki: He eats, sleeps, and breathes yaoi. Well, true enough.
He really is a fun companion, I tell you. Or maybe just because he understands my green jokes.
But of course, his mouth is not about all yaoi. In fact, his mouth is all about Math. I learned a lot from him, even though I have to get a lot of tissues and wipe my nose smothering with blood.
---
I think that's enough to lift up my week. *sigh*
Yeah, and at some randomness. I can only have black shirt, white shirt, red shirt, and blue shirt weeks. That's because I had a lot of them. LOL. I only wear my yellow shirt at one very special occasion, my pink shirt if I feel really happy, and my green shirt if I think I really have no idea what to wear.

3rd Week: We Had Such Doubts
[Un]surprisingly, my mother is sharing me what's bothering her regarding my siblings. She told me that my younger brother is one heck of a good liar, way good than my sister and I. She fears that after some years, he may be a bad boy. About my sister, she said to me her prayers about her. She told me that her online relationship with an Ireland-based Filipino may be serious if the guy is, well, serious with her. I can't say my sister's condition but if you do know, then you know what my mother's thinking in relation to my sister.
After that, I realized, I hinted that she also has "problems" with me. I'm strugging with it, you all know that. Of course, I can't blurt out to her that, "Mom, I'm bisexual!" because with her conservative mind, her brain may explode first before understanding me. But I think I'm being unfair since you guys, and a few friends, know about this and, yet, my relatives don't have a single clue (except for my father, but he thinks I just need to have a sex with a girl to dispel my thoughts of me being bi).
Regina and I watched Bride Wars last Wednesday. We were interested with the movie despite it's bad reception with the critics. I do find it interesting (see my "review"). And now, we're having this, I'd like to call it, Last Quotations Syndrome. 8D
Last Friday, I finally met with Marvin. I already had an idea what he will speak about to me but I was amazed that he said things more than that. He gave me a new set of axioms/definitions of love, and with that, I was amazed by a lot of things that I realized regarding that.
Then today, I met with Christian, and we strolled around the malls. Being the unsocial being, I think I almost bore him to death. LOL.
In general, this week is a good week. Take note of the phrase "in general".

Bride Wars
| Rating: | ★★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Romantic Comedy |
- Liv
Plot:
Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson) are best friends who, since childhood, have planned every detail of their weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married, they're about to realize their dreams, and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates--they're now to be married on the same date!--Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. This is BRIDE WARS!
They Say:
The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews upon release. Rotten Tomatoes reported that Bride Wars received negative reviews by 90 of 102 professional critics. Roger Ebert said in a review that there were "no lines that were smart or witty", and that the dialogue was "dictated by the needs of the plot ... [full of] cliches, obligatory truisms and shrieks". He also stated the character's intelligence levels were akin to HAL 9000 with his wiring ripped out. Mark Kermode said that if this film was not in his list of 10 worst films of 2009, he would quit film criticism.
In the Philadelphia Inquirer, Carrie Rickey wrote, "How bad can a movie be, with Goldilocks Hudson and Cinderella Hathaway? So excruciating that Hudson's sunshine can't warm it and Hathaway's rose redolence can't mask its stink."
In one of the better reviews, Time critic Mary Pols wrote, "At least, and this is something to be grateful for, Bride Wars deviates from the usual wedding-flick routine of maids of honor who should be the bride (or groom). And even though the catfighting goes over the top, the notion that a passionate female friendship can turn ugly in a heartbeat is, sadly, realistic."
I Say:
*The Bad Side:
The film would have been better if the war and the tension has been built up to the next level. How the "war" started is actually great. It's just the movie didn't live up to its title. And the narrator was not even one of the main characters.
*The Good Side:
I don't really look into the depth and sense of the story [at least for now], but on how the story would flow. Bride Wars, fortunately, gave it to me. It opened me further to the sad realization that friendship can be tainted by dreams. The film never failed to make me laugh. Even though negatively received, I liked the movie a lot more than Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon.
More Quotes to Live by:
*I want to be number one, too! -Emma
*I promote you to... Mister of Honor! -Liv
*Mother-Eff! -Emma
*Oh my God! My hair is blue! My hair... IS BLUE! -Liv
*The girl you knew 10 years before? She's not here anymore. -Emma
**Your wedding will be huge, like your ass at prom.
**Your wedding can suck it.
-Emma, Liv
PS:
I am a hardcore crush of Anne Hathaway prior to my watching of the film. And now that I watched it, I like Kate Hudson as well.

2nd Week: I Tried My Best, But...
1. I can't hold on to what I feel. It's somehow a good thing that Regina told me about my personality results, that I am "intelligent, but you let your heart rule [over] your head". I've been stinking in that department all this time. I confessed my feelings to someone last weekend and, I tell you, it was the most horrible confession that I had for this last 3 year. But we do talk now as we do before, as if nothing had happened, which is good. Unlike before... :(
2. My exams haven't reached 80%. The good thing is that I passed, but it's still not good enough. Hindi pwede and 'pwede na'. It's my fault that I'm not really that serious in reviewing my notes before.
3. I really can't understand Korean lessons anymore. I said to myself before that I will master Hangugeo (Korean Language) during Christmas break. But I got sick during that long period. And now, I even have shorter time to do so. To add things up: I failed my first oral quiz. Our teacher keeps dictating in Hangugeo and I really can't understand even a little. :'(

My Puppies
I named them Mike[e] and Rob[i]. My mom named them Rocky and Rambo.
NAME WARS!
On those two pairs of names, the first one is the brown one while the other is black.
The last two pics, though, is the picture of our big dog Crystal.
The Moon At Its Fullest
According to my brother, tonight is the night that the moon is at its brightest. I half-believe him. But looking at the moon at this night was cool, especially when the breeze whispers. The eternal moon shines brightly.
I was amused, so I got Bess and took snapshots of the bright sphere shining before me. If it weren't for my shaky hands, I could have got more photos. But anyway, I hope you like them as well.

New Hairstyle for '09
Mom says it's awful.
Sis says it's cute.
Bro says I look like an Elementary student.
Mom says I look like I came out of DB Universe.
Friends, acquaintances, and cousins loved it.

1st Week: Dreams About Couples
Fictions-kuno:
===
Daniel went straight to the canteen to have a helping of cup noodles. It's been a long time since he's eaten one. He is about to sit in the quiet corner when he heard buzzes and screams. From the sounds, he can tell that something romantic is going on. He looked outside and he saw a bunch of people gathering together. Then they dispersed. He looked who remained at the site. He saw Rondo and Ursula. He somehow lost his breath and felt his cheek flushing. He also saw Mileena in there. With what he'd seen, he decided to know what's going on. So holding his cup noodles, he walked outside.
As he was walking to curiosity, Barbara suddenly bumped him from his back. She apologized to him while flashing a huge smile and walked away to Rondo. As he goes near, he can hear his own heartbeat. Omega suddenly appeared from his back, telling him that Rondo and Ursula are now a couple.
Silence.
Much to his surprise, Daniel dropped his cup. The contents spilled over his black rubber shoes. He can feel the scorching pain in his left foot, but he ignored it. He flashed a big, fake smile and congratulated the couple. He picked up his cup with angst and went straight to the trash bin.
His tears rolled down his cheeks, murmuring the words, "Rondo, if that what makes you happy, then so be it."
---
After a long time of studying and after days of not going online, Daniel turned on his laptop, Niki, and decided to surf. He went to one of his favorite sites, Plurk, and he saw a lot of unread entries. He decided to read them one by one. When he saw X and Y having a lot of entries, his face was suddenly painted blank. He reads the responses on the comments. From the looks of it, X and Y seemed happy.
"1 new plurk update".
He clicked that link, and he saw X's entry, affirming what his hunch is telling him: X and Y has good love-lives again. What shook him was the fact that X and Y are together again as a couple. Daniel was happy, of course. He shrugged himself that given the fact that he wasn't online for days, many things could have happened.
===
You know that I just got well from my sickness, but I still don't feel that healthy. I've been thinking all of this time, and I'm forgetting to smile again. I'm depressed. This may be the side effects of the drugs I'm taking.
Recently, I feel different about my Math subjects. It's as if I'm having inverse feeling on all Math subjects. I now like Math 171, Math 197, and Math 150.2, unlike before. And it's otherwise for the other subjects. And I still hate the fact that I can't remember my Korean lessons, starting from Lesson 1 of the previous semester.
Now that I'm having weird dreams, is it fate's way of saying that I need a partner now?

0th Week: I Almost Forgot To Smile
My face is always frowning lately. It's like my mind transcends to another dimension. Well, my mind DOES TRANSCEND to that another dimension. I've been thinking lately: Can I be a good lover?
Anyway, let the nonsense storytelling begin.
I woke up this morning, at around seven. It's because I'll go to my dad's office (the agency he works in) to get the Philhealth form done. It's not actually my first time to go there, but the last time I went there with my dad was a long time ago. And today, I went there alone.
Anyway, I'm confident with the instructions they had given to me. I know I'll not be lost. So onboard to LRT.
Inside the train (to Carriedo Station) was when I became aware that I always frown. Then I remembered the lines:
... so I thought of happy memories, then I smiled. I became happy. My spirits had lifted up. And I'm really confident with the directions my parents had given me.
So I stepped inside my dad's office with ease. No pressures in signing the form. They even mistook me for an applicant, to which I reply: "I'm the chief cook's son," while flashing a big smile.
So after that I rode a jeepney to SM North/Trinoma. As I look outside, just after the "Valley of FEU" (wretched roadworks >o<), I saw a group ofcute Korean students, girls and boys alike. And then it hit me: I'd forgotten KOREAN! =(
Arrived at around 1 at SM, my mom sent me a message telling me to buy her medicines, to which I obliged immediately (I don't want her to be confined in the hospital). Then I ran to Bench FIX Trinoma.
There were a LOT of people on the reservation list. They wrote me on the 3:30 slot. Then I thought: I still have time to watch a movie. And what movie was it?
So I just went on time and left on time. The movie was hilarious, though the story was kind of narrative and chaotic. I ran again to Trinoma to have my hair done. And...
THEY MURDERED MY HAIR! I didn't like my hair that much. [will post pictures later]
As I left home, I garnered different reactions: My sister loved it. My mother hated it. My brother said I looked like an Elementary student. But at least, my hair is no longer long. (Get me?) I can now manage it easily.
How will my classmates react to my new 'do?
End of story,
Denji
