Hey guys! I just wanna say that I won't be updating in a while. I'm really lazy nowadays and I don't have the time to blog this and that.
However, I still post my pictures at: http://janyn.multiply.com
I'll be gone after a few weeks, or months, who knows? What's for sure is that I'd be back in the "blogging world" when I have something decent to say. XD
That's all for now! Ciaaooooo!
Argh. I'm sleeping late again. And it's all because of a layout I'm trying to finish which eventually, I haven't started yet ;) I opened Adobe Photoshop and all those codes thinggy earlier but out of the blue I suddenly got lazy and decided to blog instead! I think I'm going to work on it later at the afternoon or maybe after a few weeks when I can breathe from school. Para namang may ginagawa sa school! HAHA!
OOOH! Wow I can't believe it, it's another year again! Time flies so fast eh? I wonder what this year has in store for me? Hopefully it would be good ones since 2006 was not my year! I'm looking forward to this year. I haven't started on those new years resolutions thinggies (cause I know I wouldn't make it happen anyway) but I started doing something that would benefit me - I now listen in class. Yep, y'all heard it! Before I just took down notes and daydreamed the entire time during discussions, but now I try my very best to give my 100% attention to my prof. Though it's kinda hard that I have a really really low memory cause after a few days I forget the lessons all over again, and I have to review it to remember what we took up in class. =(
Speaking of which, I have a really low memory. I don't know what's with me!! Is it some kind of sickness or something? Someone tell me! Will this result to a disease when I get older? Even special events in the past I can't remember. If I misplace things I blame other people thinking that they mess with my stuff. When I try to recall something, I get mixed up and I don't know which of which happened on that exact day. Argh. Sometimes it gets so frustrating! I hate it.
Today was a gooood day for me. Everything was so perfect not after I cooked dinner. I didn't notice that the cooker was on "high" resulting to the food getting overcooked. It turned all black and bitter and we just threw the whole thing awayyy! Sayang naman but I can't stand it talaga! HAHA! FYI, this is the first time it happened. I'm going to be more aware nalang next time on which temperature it is so this kind of thing doesn't happen again.
School was fine. I'm starting to really like Psychology. I learn a lot in Psychology. Sir Michael really makes it easy for everybody to relate and understand the lesson. I used to hate his class cause I knew I wouldn't get high grades on his subject (I didn't get the chance to pass my HW, study for the quiz, and I messed up real bad on my prelimenary exams!!) but now, he makes it sound so interesting! Maybe this listening-to-the-prof thinggy is working after all! HAHA!
Blablabla.. So after school I went back home to eat. After 30mins. I went to a whatever-you-call-it studio cause a few blockmates of mines invited me to go jamming with them. I sucked soo bad in playing guitar! I don't play it nowadays unlike before and I don't have Earl to teach me new songs on the guitar! That guy taught me a lot in music I tell you. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have expanded my talent in guitar playing and I wouldn't have known I can sing. So yeah, cheers to him for inspiring me in taking an interest in music!
After the jamming session I walked home. I walked about 7-12 blocks from my school. I'm so desperate to lose fats.. AS INNN! I even thought of going to a gym but I wouldn't want to hang out with those buff guys.. Scary! HAHA! My sis advised me to go play badminton nalang but it seems that I don't have the time (and the energy) to do it after a long day at school. Bugbog na bugbog na nga ako right after school, what more kung magtatravel pa ako ng napakalayo and play the whole day? Maybe I'll just jog around here like I used to in the dark ol' days. I jogged around from my 'hood to SM San Lazaro and then back, and then jogged around UST's campus and then back again cause it started raining. I'll just have to look for a day after the nest few weeks where I'm free and energized to go shred off some fats.
Ang hirap talaga pag tamad. HAHA! Pahirapan talaga tooohhh!

3) BIGGEST CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE THIS YEAR
The new people I met, the lessons I learned in school plus my many new experiences made a huge change in my personality.
4) BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF THE YEAR
Bearing with a blockmate of mine. Sometimes I just CAN'T stand her. Making new friends was soo hard to do too last sem. I was like a loner and had only a few friends back then cause I didn't get their personalities and I was soo HOMESICK!
5) SOMETHING YOU LEARNED THE HARD WAY
Love life, love life. Blablabla.
6) GREATEST LESSON YOU LEARNED ABOUT
A. LOVE - Learn from previous relationships, know what is good and what is bad, and always put yourself first when you know it's the right thing to do.
B. LIFE - Learn from your mistakes. And be nice to people - Life is good if you live it with honesty.
7) BEST JOKE YOU'VE HEARD ALL YEAR
Jokes by Karl, Marvin, Thomas, my mom, and Sir Favio. I also received a text message from my good friend Uvelle that made me crack up and laugh even if I read it a million times.

10) BIGGEST THING YOU DISCOVERED ABOUT THE WORLD
People should do something about their trash.
11) BIGGEST THING YOU DISCOVERED ABOUT PEOPLE IN GENERAL
Kelangan maki-halo bilo ka sa mga tao no matter how hard it is. I ain't good at socializing so it was really difficult for me to make new friends last sem (what more if you're homesick like me). At first, tatahitahimik lang ako, but as time passed I learned you should really try to fit in at makibagay to be a part of the group instead of being a loner and a wallflower. I knew how that felt, and it ain't the greatest feeling!
***
1) GOALS/DREAMS FOR THE NEW YEAR:
- Gain many, many new friends
- Study hard to..
- Get higher grades
- Go back to AUH and have a good time!
- Survive 2nd year (I was told "pamatay" daw ang year na 'to!)
- PASS THE BATTERY EXAM!
2) PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR ON:
A. LOVE - Walang lab-lab for me this year. I'm super busy and I'm still focused on my studies. I'm still enjoying life and improving myself for the better. It can wait.
B. CAREER - What career? I'll be super duper busy in school.
***
MEMORABLE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE LAST YEAR:
- Long (and I mean LOOONG) chats with Bianca. We don't really get to see each other nowadays. =(
- Valentine's Day. Argh! Most horrible day.. EVER!
- Jamming with Earl. I miss those days when he would play the guitar and I'd sing with him.
- Was always sent to the office because of being tardy in school! GMRC pa naman 1st subject!
- Dancing all afternoon for 2 weeks or so for our performance in IFSAM. Made new friends then and I shed off lots of fat! Haha! =)
- OPEN FORUMS. Gak! 'Nuff said.
- Graduation
- 1st few weeks in school.. Trying to make new friends. It was soo bad cause I was such a KJ and I couldn't get along with the others!
- Stalking around some Korean guy named Terry cause he's a huge crush of Arhee's. Plus, walking around the campus cause that fag's always in search of a cute guy. Malandi! Haha!
- That huge quarrel-thinggy between Sadek and me. It happened like millions of times already yet I didn't learn my lesson then! But it's all over now and we're good.
- Celebrating Christmas and New Year's at Batangas. So exciting cause it was my first time to celebrate it here after 10 years.
- Playing badminton!
- Sleeping sessions during Arabic class. HAHA!
- Walking around Hamdam Street during night time with a few friends to share a conversation with.
Argh there are lots and I don't think it's necessary to write 'em all here. I'm so excited this year cause I really want a fresh start from the problems I had last year. I wouldn't be making any resolutions though cause I know I wouldn't follow them anyway! So anyhooo, it's getting really late. I just wanna greet everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I'm wishing everybody the best this year! Godbless! 'Til next time.. >Over and Out<
It's always fun experiencing something new. Today my groupmates and I went to Pasig River to have some pictures taken for our NatSci project. It stinked really bad in the place, but it didn't really grossed me out. Instead, it made me feel pity for the fishes (if there still is). We went to the place where there were really lots of garbage floating in the water. Darren was our photographer (naks!) and he took the following pictures:
YEY! I made a new layout! I'm so happy with how this one turned out. It took me I think, around 3 hours to completely finish it all. I'm so hooked in making layouts that I'd make another layout for Marvin! Anyways, I hope everybody's having a great time! Got to Deviantart to look for pictures now! Baboosh!
Ahh.. I can breathe now! Why? Basta.. Sakin na 'yon! Ok, change topic..
For the first time ever, I experienced being snatched! HAHA! This somewhat old looking, fat guy tried to get something out of my pocket without me noticing cause I was so busy chit-chatting with my blockmate in the jeep! It was a good thing I didn't put any valuable things in my pocket and all that was inside were candies. Right after some girl from UST told me that she saw that guy get something from my pocket, I hurriedly checked it and what's funny is, my candies were GONE! HAHAHA! At least it's nothing like my cellphone, money or whatsoever. Buti nga!!
When I went to my 7:30 class (which is English btw), our prof didn't show up. So we thought there were no classes because as of what my other blockmates said, GMA declared December 1, 2, and 3 as an official holiday. Plus, there were only a few students inside the campus. So right after we were dismissed by our class mayor, we headed to the school court to discuss whether we should attend our next class or not. Being the *GOOD* students that we are, we set up a plan to not have our NatSci class. =) The plan was that only 4 students were to attend the class so that the prof would dismiss them early and so that our long quiz would be cancelled. BUT THEN, some of our other blockmates still attended the class without informing us! They took the long quiz and you guys know what that means! Yep, I got a grade of zero!! At first it didn't bother me at all because I knew I could still catch up, but what made me mad is the thought of our blockmates attending the class without letting us know! It's like they have their own little worlds, and not even concerned of the others who were not inside the class! And just the mere fact of them breaking on what we agreed on made me even more mad. But heck, I don't care. Babawi nalang sa susunod. HARHAR!
Even if we had a misunderstanding inside the class, I LOVED IT! Call me weird but I love getting involved on situations such as this. Why? Because there's always something new to talk about! HAHA! No really, I love it! I immediately made new friends inside the class.. I even shared long conversations with people whom I never thought I'd share a conversation with! So yeah, even if that happened, at least I gained new friends! YEAH!
Anyhoooo, It's so funny that I find it hard to talk in English nowadays. Haven't you guys noticed? The way I write at the present state is SOO different from the way I used to way back in Abu Dhabi. It's starting to get annoying cause now I read my blog entry several times, checking my spelling and grammar, and trying to make it as understandable as possible. So if you guys can't get any of these nonsense.. Bear with me please? THANKS! =)
The most insulting thing happened earlier. I was in SM to look for my sister who was grocery shopping. As I was walking around looking for her, this stall caught my attention and you guys know I just couldn't resist free samples *wink ;p* I went to the stall the moment I saw it and the guy gave me a free taste. He entertained me and informed me about their product blablabla and then said.. Guy: Ang sarap ho ano mam? Pwede niyo po ipagluto ang inyong "asawa".
OMG, then it got me thinking.. Do I really look that old? This isn't the first time it happened. There were lots and I mean LOTS of times that I was mistaken to be the eldest sister among my 3 other sisters. I inherited my looks from my mom's side and my 2 other sisters from my dad's. In my mom's part of the family, they're huge, round-faced and all that but as for my dad's part, they're all small and young looking. I'm not saying that I don't want to look like my mom or whatsoever, in fact it's a big advantage for me and I'm lucky to be having her genes (because I'm taller than the rest of my sisters HAHA!) It's just that I don't want people making comments saying that I look 20+ years old! It's annoying and frustrating at the same time because IT MAKES ME FEEL AND WORSE, LOOK OLD! I feel like a manang right now na tuloy. Haha! =)
Gateway? Text niyo 'ko!
The first day of our second sem started yesterday and I can say that my new blockmates are a little bit.. freaky? I find them scary as of now but maybe if I get to know them much better it's gonna be alright =) I'm still with my two old blockmates Nalen and May Anne. Thank God we're together in one section.
After school I met up with Karl then headed to CEU to see Raisa on her first day of school. I guess her first day went fine because she introduced us to a lot of her new friends =) Raisa had to go for her class so we then met up with Bianca and Ate Rodelyn at Mcdonald's. I was sooo happy to see her because I haven't seen her in a long time. We talked and tambay lang at their campus. Blablabla, I'm too lazy to narrate it in details but overall, I had a good time! We might go out again this Friday. Yellow Cab? Hehe =)
I have classes again tomorrow and I'm loking forward to meeting many more people and knowing my new blockmates. Can't think of anything else to write.. 'til next time! Baboosh!
Second sem is starting tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous. Hopefully my new blockmates will be okay around me (and vice versa), and my professors won't be a pabigat for me. My schedule is better now. My class is every other day and it starts at 7:30am 'til 12pm and 3pm. It just sucks that I have classes on Saturdays but at least I don't have to arrive home at 7:30pm just like what happened last sem!
Good luck to me :))
And yeah, belated happy birthday to my friends ROY and OWAIS who celebrated their bdays yesterday! See you guys SOOON!
