Had a crash course in swardspeak earlier. Funnily enough, I have had very little knowledge of local gay lingo. I mean, I only learned "chorva" when I performed for POC. The rest of the stuff, I learned from my co-teachers back in Bene. Earlier, some batchmates and I were really tired of being total grammarwhores thanks to the speechwriting course, so, we decided to throw proper language out the window and have fun. The only problem, of course, was that we weren't very good at it, so we spent a good amount of time researching the stuff online.

Plus, yesterday was soooo much fun! There was a sale at Banana Republic, so it turned into a case of Veni, Vidi, Visa: "I came, I saw, I shopped". Then there was lunch and fantasticks and dinner with the bluereppers, and, of course, Anna's party. I wanna get my hair done, too! :D

There was also coffee with the guys this morning.

Now, I'm off to youtube that which wasn't youtubed in the week past.

Today isn't one of them.

RIP MJ

RIP Farrah

'Tis the end of an era.

A weekend is coming

But the world will be mourning

*sigh*

Talk about zero to wtf in sixty seconds. It was quite an experience.

Sa bawat araw ng kalayaan, nagsusulat ako minsan ng anuman sa wikang Filipino dito sa aking buhay-kwaderno.

Ngayong ika-111 na araw ng kalayaan, nakikita ko na maraming mga suliranin ang ating bansa ngayon. May sipon-baboy, nagpaputok ang Hilagang Korea ng maaring maging armas ng pangkaramihang pagsisira, lumalaban si Bong Revilla para sa moral ng taong-bayan, nahihirapan ang ating ekonomiya, at nagagalit ang ating mamamayan sa kongreso dahil sa konstitusyonal na pwet.

Kahit na mayroon tayong maraming suliranin dito, at marami tayong gagawin bilang mamamayan upang umunlad naman tayo, magalak ako dito sa bansa na ito. Sa lahat ng bansa sa buong daigdig na aking nalakbay, dito sa Pilipinas ang aking tahanan. Masaya rin maglakbay sa ibang bansa, pero mas masaya ako sa bawat pagbalik dito. At ngayon, talagang nagtratrabaho ako para sa kabutihan ng bayan.

Gutom na ako. Di pa ako nakapag-almusal dahil tanghali na ako gumising. Baba na nga.

Mabuhay!

I can't believe David Eddings is gone!!! I was jarred when I found out that Leigh Eddings died, and now that David is gone too, it truly seems like the end of an era.

I loved his and Leigh's work. I started reading his books when I was a freshman in high school. I used to get in trouble for reading in class. It was amazing how he was able to create a fantastic epic world complete with sorcerers and dragons that didn't take itself too seriously. Especially with the very sarcastic voice of destiny.

The Belgariad and Malloreon series had a total of thirteen books, and I can finish reading the entire lot within two or three days. It was really difficult to put them down. The same applies to the Elenium/Tamuli and The Redemption of Althalus.

I don't know why, but I feel like a part of me died. I know his works are still there for me to reread, but...

I've got tears in my eyes as I type this.

If my book collection were burning, and I could only save a few books, it would be his books that I'd rescue.

Rest in peace, David and Leigh Eddings. I will be rereading your works tonight. Thank you so much for those wonderful stories that you shared with all of us. They will never be forgotten.

And I thought that all my aches and pains would last forever. After a fun three-day trip where we were made to run, jump, swim, dance, scream, amoeba (not sure if that's a verb, but we did it anyway), my body started to hurt, like, everywhere. Now, it's somewhat gone.

But damn, last week was fun!
