a hell lot more comming.

this is anna... officially freaked out... signing off...

just came from my POM class. the discussion was something about the ISO. i really wasn't listening. i was busy thinking of what people from laos are called (in english). are they called laotian? i'm not so sure. loatian sounds too much like martian. hehehe i was also busy thinking about possible names for my ls-or-pom group. two of our many choices are psycab and capsby. both are different permutations of the first letter of our family name: abatayo, banta, chua, panga, sison, yap. tagging along group names, i got hooked thinking of our project name. hehe

every now and then, i'd look at the board and listen to my pom teacher. the subject seems intresting. there were less sleeping people than the usual. the discussion as something about iso (as i've said earlier). it reminds me of my dad. when he was still the general director of carmen corrugated containers and cobox, his calling card had an ISO 900 logo. so, does that mean carmen corrugated containers and cobox were well managed? it should! it should!

hay... i miss my dad. in three months time it'll be his first death anniversary. things right now are not any easier or any lighter than they were the day he died. people, especially my mum, are still mourning. in other words, the people my dad left cannot yet cope up with the whole reality of his death. even i have not fully adapted to the fact that i'll never see him again. sometimes, when i go to national bookstore and find a really nice book i know he'd like, i'd grab my phone from my pocket and start dialling his cellphone number only to realize, in a second or two, that he does not exist anymore.

Darn!!! Guess what I did last night? I modelled!!! Yes, you read that right. I modelled. I modelled 2 outfits from BUM, 1 outfit from BUNNY, and 1 outfit from Bobson. It was crazy! The first outfit I went out with was a white mid-rib with a matching white jacket and a white pedal jogging pants. The second outfit I went out with was a blue shirt with maong pants. The third was a maong mini-skirt with a yellow top. And the last was a red top and a stipped (read and white) miniskirt. I loved the accerssories. They were really nice. It was as much fun as it was terrifying.

Compared to the other models, I was really fat. As in!!! (see picture below and notice the fats!!! that's the third outfit I went out with) My fats were pouring out from the really skimpy clothes I wore last night. hehehe But at least, even for just once in my life, I got to wear clothes that skimpy in pulbic! Now, that's someting I was able to dare - achieve before I graduate college. hehehe

Why did I become a model all of a sudden? Chinie, who was supposed to be modelling, became an emcee because there was no girl emcee. So, I took her place. It was Jessica's idea. hehehe

I think that's the last time I'm ever going to model. hehehe I didn't even know how to pose. How funny I must have seemed!!! But at least, I had that experience. At least the fear didn't stop me. I survived the fear factor challenge!!! hehehe

Marketing
Many people tell me marketing is fun. There are even others who want to pursue marketing as a career in the near future. I am not discounting the "funness" of marketing. I sometimes even enjoy my marketing class lectures. But why can't I like marketing the way so many people do? Is it marketing? Or is it me?

Lunch Break at Eliazo
Had a singing galore with Chloe during my lunch break. We went from singing Disney songs to rather old children songs (e.g. Happy Talking and Small World) to Freddie the Cat. hehehe It was fun!!! Elaine tried so hard to sleep, but I guess Chloe and I were just plain entertaining. She wasn't able to sleep. hehehe See? Even if I'm not that good a singer, I enjoy singing and right now, I badly want to sing in front of an audience (I'm getting tired singing in the CR and in front of the mirror). Blue Rep!!! What a frustration!

Abandoned Children
Somebody help me!!! Where on earth can I get details on the situation of abandoned children in the Philippines? I need it before the week ends. Help! Please...

*** thanks for giving me a laugh

Guess what? I'm seriously thinking of auditioning for Blue Rep. Oh my God!!! I'm losing my head. This is part of my senior's syndrome. I'm so scared to graduate. Actually, I'm so scared to look back 10, 20 years from now and tell myself I should have made the best out of my college life. I don't want that to happen. That's why I'm killing myself!I applied for the position of Associate Director for the Affiliates Department of the Management Engineering Association and I got it. I joined Kythe (for kids with cancer patients) and I'm seriously considering becoming the finance head for the kytheweek. Besides that, I also joined Ateneo Red Cross Youth. Two weeks ago, I was tempted to join UNICEF (I really want to help children, especially after my immersion). Etc. Etc. Darn!!! I'm really killing myself! I should stop this. There's no use joining so many extra-curricular activities and not being able to focus on all of them. Prioritize, Anna!!!Going back to joining blue rep: can I sing? hahaha I'm kidding myself. But let me see how my two other friends, Elaine and Luan, would handle this. In the first place, they were the ones who actually suggested joining blue rep. If they're auditioning, I am. hehehe If they are not, let me think about auditioning. It's more fun to do something with your friends. It's more productive.I really feel like doing something I wacky. I need a laugh. When I look back 20, 30 years from now, I want to be able to laugh at myself. hehehe
