When I said I wanted school to start because I was dead bored, I wasn't expecting things to turn out this way. Instead of bringing up my grades, they're sinking lower. Ever since school started it's been trouble after trouble.
First trouble: Nu Skin! It's a network marketing company!!! Yup, you read it right... network marketing. Jebb Peria invited my dad to hear Nu Skin's BOM and even though mumi didn't want to take part of the company's direct selling marketing strategy, dadi was interested. Dadi joined, recruited me, paid for my business builder pack when...
Second trouble: Dadi died. (I don't think I should elaborate)
Third trouble: As much as I want to finish what dadi started (since he filed his LOI in Nu Skin and bought products to complete his LOI month... when he shouldn't have, btw), Nu Skin is turning less of a dream and more of a nightmare. The company's great, really, and the products are good... it's the people, however, I cannot and have not reconciled with. Though I know Jebb's there to help me out (since he is my upline and my dad's sponsor), I know he's not going to last forever. One day Jebb is leave me for myself...I can even feel that he has started doing so already. Jebb won't be there to help for the rest of my living days in Nu Skin. When I become executive, I know, he will cease to be the nice person that he is... though I am hoping against hope that he won't...reality check though - he will...
Fourth trouble: I am about to spend big bucks tomorrow for Nu Skin and I will be hoping the money I will spend will come back to me!!! (Now, beat that!)
Fifth trouble: really bad grades...
Sixth trouble: I respect Daniel and Anne for being lapis executives already given that they are still fourth year college students. They're great in Nu Skin and I think they have found the business of their dreams. Good for them. Now... the problem is... Daniel and Anne are great netorking leaders but not academic leaders... and as I've said with my past journal entries, I badly want to raise my grades up. (in other worlds, stop the "pangugulit!!!"... stop asking me "how is aj? how is pia? how is melody?" ... like hell, how am I suppose to know how they are? I am not their bodyguard!!!)
Seventh trouble: Jebb told me last night (or was it early this morning... time check: 12:36 am) that he'd call... I'm waiting for his call! I have a lot of rantings to do!!! Urg! Such irresponsibility!!!
...bitaw, if truth be told... of all the people I have met in Nu Skin, Jebb's the nicest and I like him a lot...but i wish he'd stop being late, everytime... i wish he'd stop saying "it's gonna be ok" when we both know that it won't be ok. word of honor, mr. peria --> it's something I hope you'd learn to treasure.
urgg... i'm too depressed to go on talking... i'd better get my sleep... i'm up for a nightmare tomorrow. :(

Sunday, November 09, 2003
I went to Robinson's Galleria with a friend today. We watched Matrix Revolution. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't too good either. The effects were good but I found the storyline a little flimsy. The ending was terrible. "I believe." - (reminds me of UAAP last year.. "I still believe"... goodness!!! those basketball fans... they're so into it...)
I always get to choose the weirdest taxi drivers going home... the taxi driver kept on asking me to translate tagalog words to bisaya... said he knew how to speak a little... tried speaking... but I never understood the things he said... the worse part is, since me and my friend were seated at the back, he kept on turning his head every time he spoke (mr. taxidriver, please watch the road... I have no plans of dying before I even start living).
Auntie Anne's the best!
I want to have a pet (you choose: rabbit or dog).
I can't get over it!!! I can't believe I took Dacanay for Theo131... this is suicide...
Honestly, I am torn between wanting and not wanting classes to start. I want classes to start mainly because I am dead bored. I am little by little feeling useless. However, if classes started, not only will I now have something to do, I will have so much to do. I've got to take care of the Documentations and Publications Committee of the Affiliates and Inter-organization sector of the Management Engineering Association since I am the committee head. Besides this, the Ateneo Peer Counselor's Group has also chosen me as a team head for one of the teams. I have a partner and four members. Lastly, I have my academics to straighten out. My grades are so degrading and I want to pull them up (I really, really want to pull them up).
Oh boy! At least I know how many days I have left till my dooms day... (a sunday, monday, tuesday left...)
so I'd better make good use of this 3 remaining freedom days...

The truth is, I am so sleepy... *yawn* *yawn*
And this actually makes me wonder why I'm not yet taking my well-deserved rest.
Well-deserved rest... not that I've had a tough day. No, not at all. In fact, I am very pleased with how the day turned out (well, except for the latter part... the taxi driver part). I think, I just really deserve a rest (well, after such a terrible first semester...)
I woke up early 5:30 in the morning to prepare myself for my college second semester registration. But since my random number was 340 (tough luck!), I took my time taking a bath, choosing the clothes to wear, preparing the things I needed for the reg (first sem validated id, regform, and advisement slip), and of course, eating breakfast (i love food!). So, you see, there was no pressure at all. The day was going smooth and I was adoring every moment of it.
I arrived school (school is just a good 10 minutes walk from where I am currently staying) at 8:30 am and since I knew that the registration committee (regcom) will not be serving my number until 9:30 am, I went to my department to have my advisement checked. :)
I started my reg at about 9:30 am and finished at 11am on the same day. The registration was easy and very fast. Besides this, I was also able to get the schedule I wanted. Great!
I went home and was about to take a nap when a friend texted to ask if I wanted to go out. So, given the fact that I haven't been to a single mall (except for Riverbanks) in such a long time, I agreed.
We decided to give MegaMall a little visit. We left school at 2pm, arrived the mall at 3:30 pm (the traffic was bad... but not bad enough to ruin my day... besides, the radio, i don't exactly know what station, was entertaining... I learned how to sing the "Mighty Bond Song" with accompaniment and the F4's "Oh Baby, Baby" while saying the time), catched a movie ("My Boss's Daughter") at 4:20.
The movie was funny. But... well... I kinda found it shallow (no offense to the fans). Have you ever seen movies like this? I mean, it's nice and all, really. It is not, however, the kind of movie that will leave you in awe. Compare this movie, for example, to Lord of the Rings or Chicago...
After the movie, we dropped by some stores and finally, fell in line to catch a taxi home... (btw, I am not addicted to chili con carne... hehehe :)... I ate chili hotdog during the movie and I bought chili before we went home...)
To make use of the time spent waiting for the taxi, we sang a couple of Broadway Songs. Now that was fun!!! How many people in the world are able to sing along when you start singing "...long ago, in someone elses lifetime someone with my name... or ...i'm strickly a female, female..."? - just a few!!! And I was glad I was with two of the few people who knew exactly what I was singing and where the song came from!
So... well... our turn arrived, we got a taxi and went home.
Shucks!!! The taxi driver was really trying my patience.
Hello, Mr. Taxidriver!!! It was very obvious that the traffic was very heavy. You didn't have to state the fact every so often. Stop complaining! Yes, we are planning to pay an additional 20 pesos for bringing us from MegaMall to Ateneo. Urgg... and his music... it was sooooo loud (my eardrums were complaining... they thought I wanted them dead).
oh well... we arrived at Ateneo... safe... our heads still intact...
I went down at Eliazo. I walked home instead of telling the taxi driver to dropped me off at my place after dropping off my friends. It was refreshing (I never can get enough of the fresh air).
It felt good - walking alone... in silence... being with nobody else but myself... singing songs...
oww... tiredness is catching up on me... my eyes are not holding up as well... now, I feel like taking my rest. I think, I have said my fill for today. Tomorrow, I'll be up and about again. :)
A very good night! :)
