the score is 72-71, with ust in the lead.
macky escalona passes the ball to doug kramer, who shoots
and scores.
73-72. ateneo wins. and i can't believe i caught that on video. 14 hours after, i'm still on a high.
masarap talaga maging atenista ngayon. can't wait for thursday.

today joan and i "cut" work and went to araneta to buy tickets for the game this sunday. (yes, hanggang sa trabaho nagcu-cut pa rin kami.) in our yuppie attire, we rode a cab and waited in line to get our upper box B tickets. and yes, i was reading and highlighting a handout while in the cab and in line. parang dati...
... spent the night outside the athletics office to get tickets for the championship game during our first year in college
... woke up extra early to line up at araneta, only to find out that other people woke up much earlier than we did
... lined up at the Blue Eagle Gym with other dormers and yayas to get 2 tickets each
and i realized, once the UAAP bug bites, you never recover. (after the basketball season, i'll probably not post as much on sports -- until the football season starts in november. hehehe.)
and today UST Growling Tigers beat the UE Red Warriors. i must say that i am, like most people, disappointed, because i expected UE to win. but at the same time, i feel a little worried(?) because in jeff's words, "UST has the momentum". still, the Ateneo Blue Eagles have a great lineup this year, and for sure, everyone will get their money's worth on sunday.
ONE BIG FIGHT!

i'm not really good at handling birthdays. my birthday, to be exact. for some reason, i find it uncomfortable when people greet me in person. if it's through SMS or email or call, then it's ok. but for some reason, i don't like it when it's face-to-face. weird, i know. most people like to be greeted, but hey, i', not most people. and i also don't like people announcing to other people that "it's so and so's birthday, so greet them." why the heck do you have to tell everybody that it's that person's birthday (or yours, for that matter)?!
and i don't like celebrating my birthday. i like to celebrate others', but not mine. sure, for the past years i've been celebrating with my friends and family. but the thing is, they are the ones celebrating my birthday. so fine, celebrate all you want.
maybe it's the angst again, but really, i don't find that it's worth celebrating. people celebrate birthdays because it's the day we were born, eklavu eklavu... but hey, it's not as if i've done anything in my life to achieve anything worthy of happiness and merrymaking. in all actuality, all i've done is (1) contribute to the overpopulation of the country, (2) be a burden to my parents, and (3) be a selfish, whiny bitch to the rest of the world. as you can see (and what most people know already), i am not the happiest, nor the kindest, person in the world. and so what? i'll celebrate if i do something great in the future, but for now, no.
then again, maybe it's too early to say such things. after all, i'm only 21. yeeaahhh riiiighhht......

on the lighter side of things...
i was in the car with my parents. my dad was telling us that the daughter of his friend, who's my age, is getting married because she got pregnant. after some time, one of them said,
"baka si lisa may boyfriend na." (yesss....., i know.) and then i said something in my usual sarcastic tone, "haha. as if. eh di hanapan niyo ako ng matinong lalaki."
the clincher: my dad said, "don't worry, he will come."
WTF?! i soooo did not expect that from my father.
and my mom has been pestering me recently about guy stuff. as in relationship stuff. ok, maybe it's because i haven't been living in the house for the past four years and i haven't been open to them for the past 20 years, not to mention my avoidance to hugs and kisses.. yes, basically they know nothing about me, except that i'm their daughter and i have a bad temper. and now that we are working the same company, driving everyday to work and back, she found the opportunity to be "close" to her daughter. i guess i can't blame her for that.
the thing is, i used to think that they're glad that i don't have a boyfriend and do not want me to have a boyfriend yet, which is why i didn't tell them about my relationship with benjo and those guys who courted me. but now, i think they are actually concerned that i'm not in a relationship. it's funny and weird, actually.
but what's bad is that i'm starting to think that i should be worried too.
NOT.

watched the game today with jov and mary. we won, of course :) 76-73. good job team! to quote the blue babble battalion: PUSO.
mga putang inang referee. in your face! kahit bulok ang calls ninyo, panalo pa rin kami! and fine, magaling na kung magaling si ken bono, pero kung wala na siya, wala na rin ang adamson. mvp? jc intal pa rin ako! and go coach norman black for using profane language. (i can't believe i actually said that.)
videos are in my multiply site.
----------
and i remember...
may i just say... siniswerte ba ako ngayon??? :)
it's amazing what 1 and a half hours can do. several hours have passed, and i still can't get over that 1 and a half hours. pleasantly surprising and surreal. :)
----------
can't wait for the new Incubus album, Light Grenades, which is going to be out this november. yay :)

so this is Blogger Beta. sorry for the dull layout; i still haven't figured out how to incorporate a customized design into the Beta template.
went shopping last night at Tiendesitas with one of my favorite people in the world. :)

getting older
Filed under: just rambling
you know you're getting old when...
- chocolate is not the only flavor you choose
- being full has stopped you from eating dessert
- people think you're older than your real age
- you don't watch tv that often anymore
- you'd rather rest than go to a party
- you give a long sigh (to quote my brother marty, "sounds like she's getting old.")
- you watch the news and actually care about what's going on
- you read the paper while drinking coffee
- you can actually relate to people older than you
- you actually laugh at older people's jokes
- you walk around your university and you don't see familiar faces
- you don't know what the heck is High School Musical
- you scoff at "kids"
- you're paying bills
- you have godchildren
- you're part of the bridal entourage
- you have a job
- you're writing a "you know you're getting old when..." list

good morning lisa.
today i woke up to pril's text message about saul. apparently he's out of Rampqueen. yes, good morning talaga.
----------
i haven't been posting as frequently as i should. the result: i forget. so forgive me if my recent posts seem bland. i probably forgot already most of what happened that made me write the post in the first place. so there.
the weekend was a blast. we stayed at the Mount Malarayat Golf and Country Club in Lipa, Batangas from thursday to friday for the STG University. (finally, out of the office!) basically, the highlight of the whole trip was thursday night: conversations, yosi and beer.
my own supposed highlight: ipinagtanggol ako ni bosing. hahaha. it was the first time somebody actually defended me (because i usually do the defending by myself. haha.), and i didn't even know it. we were having a discussion with this Moya guy, who's um, how do i describe him... um, he's basically stupid. (and yet i find him very interesting. maybe because he reminds me of benjo-- the way he thinks. haha.) after some time, i don't know what actually happened, but he apparently said something against me, and before i knew it, leo was saying, "she's gonna do fine in IBM" (pertaining to me), and ben suddenly grabbed my arm and asked if i'm ok. yesss naman.... at hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari yun. pero ok pa rin. i just hoped i witnessed the whole thing. hehehe.
[to be continued. pics to follow in my multiply account. ]
at nagpakababoy nanaman. piyesta nanaman kina lola. hehe.

watched The Devil Wears Prada last friday night with my officemates. (oooh i sound so yuppie. oh, i AM one already. haha.) Meryl Streep was flawless, of course. Anne Hathaway? for some reason, i can't get her out of Princess Diaries. i don't really have much to say about the film. overall, nice movie, but nothing special. well maybe except for the clothes :) how i wish i had clothes like those! (how i wish i had money to buy clothes like those!)(and guess who i saw leaving the cinema? siopito and his girlfriend. yes, i think tinitigan ko siya. hahaha.)
we had dinner and some drinks at jack's loft afterwards. saw cris and some ateneans there. it's weird, because we're all working now. also, a lot of us are in jobs we never thought we'd get into. cris works in a bank and i'm in sales. techie sales, at that. who would've thought?!
i really miss being a student. i miss dorming. i miss walking around katips and ateneo. i miss being with friends and classmates. i miss just hanging out. i miss going home late. i miss not going home at all. i miss the lifestyle.
and here i go again, on and on about missing things. hayy..
