“Uy, galing niya talaga noh?”
“Astig ng boses!, Ang cool!”
“Nuod tayo ulit ng gig niya ah!”
And guess what? They were all talking about this fellow,
Cynthia-Hagart Alexander.
I really have no idea who she is that actually thought she was related with
Cynthia Luster. If not, in the same wavelength.
I’m not the person who usually pries on things I hear. Even if those stuffs are new or unusual to me. But this one is definitely an exception.
So after Ate Jovi blabber about this “sensational” singer for about two solid hours one night,
I was convinced to check her out.
(Ate Jovi happily and whole-heartedly lends her signed cd to me.)
And there was I, clutching Cynthia’s cd as I head home to Baliuag.
After listening to her kind of music, I found myself humming to the tunes of
“U and I” and uttering the words “Fly, you’re a fooooool…”
Gosh, I’ll admit it. She’s cool.
Cynthia’s songs are deep and have a really strong effect to
the people listening to it.
And the lyrics? They’re sooooo poetic.
They weren’t the typical ones that go as simple as
“I can’t live without you...” or “I do love you, babe”
To show hat I have started loving this chick, I came up with my own
“Top Five Fave Songs” from her album, “Rippleyarns”
1. Fly
2. U and I
3. Walked the Roads ( tama ba yung title?!)
4. Intertwyne
5. Owner of the Sky
“Now a hundred years pass,
and we master the game love.
we get straight A’s for heartlessness,
medallions for restraints…”
Oh boy, I can’t believe I’m having a “last song syndrome”
As promised with my ever-funniest and lovely friend Mimi while we feast on our cheese and peanut butter-flavored doughnuts, here is the list of the ten things I wanted to do but find it “un-Jennifer-ly”, difficult or impossible if not, scary.
1. BUNGEE JUMP! - (I wish to have all the guts)
2. TRY BEING A STAND-UP COMEDIAN- (medyo sour joker kasi ako eh…)
3. LEAD A BAND - (and sing “Suntok sa Buwan” na may guitar
upstage with an audience)
4. EAT SOMETHING EXOTIC - (excluding anything that is
labeled “endangered”)
5. ASK A GUY OUT - (Hmmm…)
6. DRIVE- (Nagka-phobia kasi ako eh…)
7. BAKE A REAL CAKE ala HENY SISON - (it’s not un-Jennifer-ly, in fact, it’s
been my dream since then!)
8. GO TO PALAWAN. ALONE. - (Freedom!!!)
9. STAR IN A PLAY. - (it doesn’t have to be the “bida” role but I prefer doing
challenging roles like that of a guy , “Valentina”or even
a “GHOST” Awwoooo!!)
10. TOUCH A WORM - (I know this is gross but I wanted to
overcome my fear of worms)
My Mom’s coming home.
Yippee!!
Yeah, right.
You see, my Mom and I aren’t really close.
And whenever she comes home to visit us, I’m always not sure what exactly to feel.
I don’t know whether I should be psyched like any other kids or just give that “dedma lang” look when she arrives.
Haay, hiraaaap.
It’s really hard when you don’t grew up with your parents...
Honestly, I’m really excited ‘cause I’m gonna see her again for it’s been three years since the last time I saw her.
I’m really excited ‘cause I’ll have the chance to talk with her personally unlike the usual conversations we have that seem unreal...
And finally, I’m really excited ‘cause I wanted sooo badly to have those “mother-daughter” thing with her...
But the thing is, my Mom isn’t exactly very motherly and
she’ll be staying here for just two weeks.
I’m scared that if I’ll attach myself too much with her during her stay, I’ll just end up being hurt and lonely again when she leaves.
You know what, every time I watch Gilmore Girls, I can’t help but turn green with envy whenever I see Rory so close with her ultra-cool mom. And every time the program ends, I can’t help but wish that one day, my Mom and I would be that close…
This is the reason why I tend to be really sentimental...
For ever since, I know something's missing...
Have you ever been obsessed?
Silly question, huh?
Well, I was just wondering if any of you has felt some strong desire for something,
or worst, someone…
Yeah, honestly I’m also obsessed with some things too like purple stuffs, Hello kitty collectibles and books but of course, I will never want to be obsessed with a SOMEONE ‘cause I think it’s weird.
These past few days, my friends were incessantly teasing me. They were telling me non-stop that I’m starting to obsess with ‘this someone” kasi raw my “kwentos” are always about “this someone”…
My reaction?
“?!”
Then, I came to ask myself:
“Am I really obsessed?’
(After an hour of thinking..)
I realized and I’m assured that I’m not obsessed.
I mean “this someone” always fascinates me, makes me laugh sooo hard and
even inspires me (in ways I don’t understand).
And because of that, I can’t help but make “this someone” the “bida” of my stories.
Being fascinated or amused with someone isn’t the same with obsession. And that’s true.
One time, while my friends and I were eating and chatting, one part of our conversation goes like this:
FRIEND1: “O, Jen, musta si ___________?”
ME: “ Naku, ayun, katuwa pa rin...”
FRIEND2: “Obsess ka na noh?”
ME: “Uy, hindi... Ano ba yang inisip niyo? Kasi naman hindi ako obsess! blah…blah..”
(Friends-shocked expressions)
FRIEND1: “Eto naman, Eh ‘di hindi na!!”
FRIEND2: “ Galit ka ‘ata?”
“Sorry na..”
Jen’s bubble thought: “Finally, I‘ve cleared it to them”
*For those of you who seem to have a difficult time figuring out if you’re obsessing with someone or not,
Try answering the following with a Yes or No.
1. You can’t stop thinking about the person.
2. You want to stop thinking about him/her but find it impossible.
3. You want to know everything about him/her.
4. You believe your life is meaningless without him/her in it.
5. You consider your feelings to be a problem.
*If you have answered 3 or more “Yes” to any of those, you might be obsessed.
But of course, it is still up to you to see if it’s really an obsession or not.
Ciao..
Last Saturday was a real blast.
Why? It’s the UAAP opening and for some miracle, UP won.
Hey, I’m not underestimating the UP varsity players… It’s just that I heard that UP isn’t that big when it comes to basketball especially when the fight’s against one strong team, like UST.
OK, whatever.
Anyway, the point is UP won!
And being a student of this one ultra-cool school, I’m soooo PROUD!
So, there was I last Saturday, practically cheering my lungs out every time the Maroons will score a point.
Wait a minute, haven’t I mentioned that I’m a part of the cheerleading team?
Okay...
Well, yes, I am and the sole reason why I’ve decided to choose that as my PE is
because I dream of being in the PEP squad.
So before I can be a part of that wonderful team, I need a lot of requirements which include watching UAAP games. It’s very essential for us to be spotted by our team leaders shouting and cheering...
Honestly, I’m not that type of person-someone who’ll crazily cheer for their school during competitions like this but this one, I think it’s FUN.
Good luck, Maroons!!!
I wasn’t able to attend my classes yesterday because my bronchitis is killing me softly. And if you think that I’m lucky to be absent with a pretty good reason, think again.
I actually felt so lonely and pathetic for three major reasons:
1. My bronchitis is sooooo pasaway!!!! Imagine coughing the whole day and drinking medicines every four hours!! Double ewwwww!!!
2. I missed four classes (which includes my fave subject and teacher! heheu).
3. I have to stay in bed all day and drown myself with lots of fluid.
But you know what? I learned one good lesson while I‘m terribly sick. I should not, no correct that, never overwork myself too much especially now that I’m in college.
I remember when I was in high school, I’ll still go to school even if I wasn’t feeling well already. I’ll ignore my Lola’s pleas of skipping classes so I can rest and be fine the next day. Would you believe I manage to graduate without even having one single absent? My classmates and pals find it weird but I find it normal. This is because I’m the “Carpe diem” type of person.
I’m not saying that now that my “no-absents” school record is finally ruined, I can skip classes whenever I’d like to. Of course, not. But now, I learned that my health is still more important and if I continue to be a freak workaholic, I’ll never reach the age of 40 and might as well kiss my dreams goodbye. And I don’t like that.
P.S
I miss my cw_1o classmates especially 3R!!!
Did you guys miss me?? Please don’t say no.
