Iba’t ibang klase ng girls

1.    Pa-conyo- sila yung super vain na kala mo everyday is “foundation day.” Magaling mag-ingles, hindi umiinom ng house water sa fastfood at kung magbihis e kala mo parating may party. Sila rin yung aakitin ka, pero hindi bibigay….agad. Kailangan ng matinding humor kung talagang trip na trip mo sya iuwi.

2.    Top-of-the-line sosyalera- Sila yung mga pinanganak na may gintong kutsara sa bibig. Lumaki sa aircon, straight English kung magsalita pero mahilig din silang magmarunong na magaling silang mag-Tagalog pero ang sama talaga pakinggan. Di nakakarelate sa mga kanto jokes, nagtatawanan  na ang mga tao di pa din nila nagegets yung joke. Lumaki raw sila sa kalye playing street games. Pero alam nyo kung ano yun? Street hockey, soccer, baseball, etc. Pffft! Batang kalye nga. Mahirap abutin. Pero kung masusungkit, pwede rin! 

3.    Feeling. or Illusionaries, mga mahilig mag-ilusyon na magaganda sila at may sinasabi sa buhay. Pinsan si ganito, kilala si ganyan, may lupain sa hibok-hibok para ma-impress lang ang kausap. Sila ata ang tinutukoy ng Parokya sa kanta nilang, “Silvertoes.” Madaling kausap at minsan, isang sabi lang, gora na yan… walang paliguy-ligoy pa. 10/11 ang drama, sa sampung sinabi labing-isa mali. Dagdag-bawas magkwento kaya ingat lang lalo na kung kiss and tell sila.

4.    One-of-the-boys. Sila yung “ideal bestfriend.” Cowboy ba… Pwedeng biru-biruin, masarap kasama sa inuman, naiintindihan ang kalokohan at kaberdehan ng kalalakihan, madalas gumamit ng “tsong” at “pare” pag kausap  mo. Pero sila rin yung hindi  nagsasalita sa totoong nararamdaman nila. Ingat din ang mga boys sa mga ganitong girls- lalo na pag nahuhulog na pala sa inyo. Kawawa sila pag nasaktan. Hmmmm…

5.     Girlfriend-material. Sila yung sa unang tingin pa lang ng boys, abot-langit na ang respeto. Sila yung mga simpleng babaeng matipid ngumiti, makikipag-kwentuhan pero hindi may mystique pa rin. Na-c-curious ang mga lalaki kung anong meron sa kanila that they keep on looking for more of that person. Minsan ang hirap kausap dahil pabago bago ng isip. Usually, sila ang naliligawan, sinusuyo hanggang mapa-oooohh… OO.

6.    Man-hater. Sa una, mapagkakamalan mo silang tibo dahil sobra silang “boyish.” Defense mechanism nila yun dahil galit sila sa past experience nila with an EX. Takot na daw sila masaktan. Mahirap din silang getlakin dahil matatakot ka sa kasungitan nila. Ang hindi mo alam, kulit lang ang katapat.  Bibigay din yan. Pero syempre, sa mga lalaki, dapat armed ka with sympathy, timing and humor.  Kahit hindi ka masyadong pogi, basta meron ka nito- malaki na ang chance mo.

7.    Pa-Girl.  OA sa pagka girl, mayat-maya ang retouch inaabot ng 30mins sa CR kahit nasa mall kayo suklay ng suklay ng buhok, mayat maya nananalamin. Super freak-out sa kaarteyhan. Malakas mag react ng “yuck!! Or eewwww” kapag nakakarinig ng mga maseselang usapin. Di nila gets o maapreciate ang ibang mga bagay bagay. Di mo alam kung makitid lang talaga utak nila o talagang slow sila makagets.. Basta ang hirap nila ispelengin!!!  Ang masama eh kung 30 yrs old na pagirl pa din…  awts!

8.    Super Friendly. By the word itself, friendly siya sa lahat. Napakabait, Napakadaling i-aproach napakalawak ng pang-unawa on things. Masarap hingan ng payo. Pero minsan namimisinterpret ng iba. Aakalain ng guy na may gusto sa kanya si super friendly. Lalo na sa pagmimisinterpret sa kanila ng girls dahil pinagchichismisan sya ng masama, siguro kinaiinggitan kasi. Ang hirap din minsan ng masyadong mabait.

9.    Doble-Kara.  Eto yung matino or mataray pag normal, pero pag nakainom eh bigla na lang sasayaw sa ibabaw ng mesa, or iiyak ng walang malinaw na dahilan, or magiging robot na hindi na alam ang nangyayari, gumagalaw lang pero di nagrerespond sa kapwa, meron ding biglang nang aaway pa. Nakakatakot sila painumin kasi nakakahiya sila kasama pag nalasing.

10.    Ms. Know-it-All.Gusto nilang i-impress ang lahat ng tao- especially ang mga kalalakihan, thinking na ma-g-getsung nila ito. They think na mas matalino sila sa guy at kaya nila itong paikutin. Pero wag ka. A good guy can recognize a smart girl. Boys, ingat sa mga tulad nila dahil yung pagka-Know-it-all ay pwedeng mauwi sa paninira sa ibang tao at mga buhol-buhol na kasinungalingan.

student loan

I have tried student loan once — when i told my parents i would pay for my own tuition when I enrolled 2 summers ago. I enlisted in a 3unit subject just to satisfy the 24unit rule implemented by the college. Aside from paying my own tuition, i also have no one to rely to for my daily allowance. It was onehelluva summer. I bring pack lunch everyday so that the only expense i have to spend on for the day is my transportation allowance to-and-from Laguna.

LOLz. My parents still paid for my loan, anyway. hahaha. 

For One More Day

This book, which was written by Mitch Albom (author of Tuesdays with Morrie) moved me to tears. I was reading the book on my way home to Laguna, and i actually cried in front (well technically, besides pala) of the other passengers. I didn’t have a handkerchief with me, so i looked stupid with my red nose and puffy eyes. People must’ve thought that i was crazy or shallow for crying over a pocket book.

Well anyway, the story is about Charlie ‘Chick’ Benetto, a former baseball player who encounters problems with his career, family, finances and seeks refuge by being an alcoholic. It was the last straw for him when he found out he wasn’t invited to his daughter’s wedding. He attempts suicide — and fails — and sees his mother who died 8 years ago.

Chick returns to their old home and spends the day with his mother, wherein factors related to his difficult childhood and strained relationship with his father are revealed to him. His mother assists him in getting his life back on track and resolving his issues. The day ends when he regains consciousness in the arms of a police officer. 

The story ends when  the author described how Benetto quit drinking and reconciled with his family. At the end, Maria is revealed to have been the narrator of the story.

From what i got from the ‘net, the book was adapted into a made-for-television movie, which was aired by ABC on December 9, 2007.

ooooohhhh… How about promotional products, anyone? =)
