Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
Definition
- One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity.
- A lady at a ball, who, either from choice, or because not asked to dance, remains a spectator.
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively.
I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart.
I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way.
I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride.
My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

I think I have ulcer or gastrointestinal something again. I still couldn't train properly and I even threw up... I couldn't lift my feet or straighten my back either... I hate being sick. CONGRATULATIONS COACH AL!
Coach Al, our Epee coach, just got married and his son/daughter just got baptized today. I'm so happy for him! 80 gig iPod Video to follow. haha... Since coach Gallo is in China and coach Ramil attended Coach Al's wedding together with all the captains, there was supposedly no training today. However, there were some who wanted to train, so the training today pushed through. Cliff trained us first and believe me, he gives a new meaning to hard training. We had to go up and down 8 floors four times and make laps around our own floor 5 times too. We also had drills that weren't as hard as the usual ones, but get tiring after dong them over and over. Cliff still had classes, so Del took over after an hour or so. I don't know with the others, but I found it really hard to do her drills because my knees were shaking after Cliff's exercises! At least we survived! haha... The fencers who attended training today had a little bonding session. We all know each other's names and we played a game too! It was super fun! I hope we can play around again like we did today. Buti na lang di na namin tinuloy yung balak namin nina CO na magvideoke, mas masaya yata maghabulan. Besides, me, Arik, and CO already sang our hearts out with High School Musical songs! haha... Too bad I wasn't able to take any pictures or videos of our game, sobrang laugh trip talaga! haha! I had dinner with Migz and Sho after. Francis, Jason, and Jed joined us a few minutes after Sho left. Hinihintay pa naman ni Sho yung mga yun. Tagal niyo daw maligo. haha... Ang labo ko kanina, inatake nanaman ako ng kahyperan ko, don't ask. Bleh. Basta masaya araw na 'to. Yun lang. haha... Labels: fencing

I have a question... Is there anyone who forgets to turn off a faucet? I know someone. It's like this.
While I was taking a bath, someone turned on the faucet (sink). I thought this person was washing her clothes or something, so I didn't really mind that the flow of the water was strong. After I took a bath, however, I still heard the water. When I went out of the bathroom, voila - flooded dorm corridors. Unfortunately, someone "forgot" to turn the frikin' faucet off. Who in the world forgets to turn a faucet off?! It's like saying you forgot to dodge a ball thrown at you or forgetting to close your eyes when you sleep! Ughh... It was sooo nice of this person to flood the whole corridor of our unit and letting the water get into my room - my room was flooded too. Thank you for leaving all my shoes soaking wet, for getting the cord of my laptop get wet, for ruining the pages of my magazine that fell on the floor, for making me late for class to clean up after you, and for the icky feeling of wet footwear. Thank you ah *great sarcasm*. Nakakabanas. But seriously, I have to at least give you a sincere thanks because if it weren't for your little stunt, our floor wouldn't have been mopped up and cleaned. Salamat na lang. Next time, please turn off the faucet okay? Lagot ka sa akin pag nangyari ulit ito.
I was 30 minutes late for my class. Thank goodness my professor understood what happened. And I'm all better now! Yay! I went to Alliv's condo after to meet up with her and Jeoya, and to eat mangoes. haha...
I attended the Athlete's Assembly for the varsity players of DLSU (I'm part of a team again, I can't believe it). The food they served was delicious. Yung libreng pagkain lang naman talaga habol namin eh. haha joke lang! We even planned to go to the rooftop of Andrew Hall, but it was off limits to students already, bummer.
I still want to reach the top of Andrew Gonzales Hall!

I'm uber sick today! I didn't sleep yesterday because of all the things I had to finish, so I felt horrible when I went to class. Not sleeping led me to fever and migraine. I couldn't even eat a while ago even if I was so hungry because I felt like I'd throw up. I had lunch with Arik then went up to the TLS office with Alliv. I went back to the dorm a few minutes later because I felt awful... I went to sleep then woke up with the chills. Grrr... I was too weak to train for fencing too, too bad... I just watched them, but I still felt really sick.
Since it was David's birthday last Sunday and Arik's birthday today, the fencing team raided Yellow Cab again! Dumami yung pumunta sa blowout, so you could just imagine how noisy we were! haha... Pinagtripan din namin si Jeoya, lahat daw ng guys crush niya. haha... Happy Birthday again Arik and David! Thank you!

My favorite hobby for the day? Eating. I had breakfast today, had lunch with Addie and Raffi, had two tapsilogs for dinner, and a lot of snacks in between. I've been stuffing myself up so much today, but the funny thing is, I don't feel full and I get the craving to eat something after a few minutes. Naku, tataba nanaman ata ako nito. And I don't have worms, okay. haha...
Thank goodness my legs are better! I think I'll do better after all the hard training we went through last week. Also, it was David's birthday last June 24 and Arik's birthday tomorrow (June 26), so we'll be raiding Yellow Cab again! Yay free food! haha... It's another lousy time for me not to have me DSLR. I'll have to settle with my digicam. Hello blurry pictures. haha...
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIK ABU AND DAVID ELIZAGA!
Oh yeah, hell week for the pep squad has begun. They had to wear Katipunero/Filipina outfits with rubber shoes to school. I have two blockmates who applied, so you can just imagine how hard I was laughing when I saw them. haha! I haven't quite gotten over not being allowed to join the pep squad, so I was a bit envious of all the pep squad applicants I passed by. Yun pa naman yung habol ko sa recruitment, yung mapapahiya ka. Ako pa naman yung tipong mas gustong napapahiya kesa napupuri. Gusto ko maramdaman yung mapapahiya ka ng sobra, but in a good way. I know, I'm weird. Sayang talaga, I was really looking forward to that initiation. How I wish I was part of all that humiliation. *sigh*

Before I left for the dorm, I had to iron 3 pairs of pants and a pair of shorts. I asked my dad to go with me because I didn't know how to turn the iron on. I kept laughing at what he told me! What did he say? "Di ko rin alam yan eh." haha! Nag adventure kami sa kwarto ng maid namin kasi nandun yung kabayo at plantsa. We were able to discover how the iron worked (eventullay), and we split the ironing. We kept laughing the whole time! First because we couldn't turn the iron on, next I touched the iron by accident (tanga ko kasi), next my dad sprayed water on my hands, then there was when we almost burnt one of my shorts because the cloth was different. haha! It was fun hanging out with my dad even it was just for a while. We should do the ironing more often.
I don't have my DSLR with me. :( Labels: family

LIke I said in my previous entry, I'll post a picture of me and my tween when I get a good one. The one below was taken by Alliv. I manipulated it a little, I just felt like experimenting on it. I'm not very good at it though. haha...
MIGZ - MY TWEENI know I have faults against him... Tween, if you're reading this, I want you to know that I'm really sorry for everything, I wasn't thinking... I treasure my friendship with you very much, I can't even begin to explain how happy I am that I met you and how much it means to me that we're friends. I just hope nothing will change. If ever they will, I'll hold myself responsible... I checked my Friendster horoscope again. Look: "As a concept, love may be important to you right now, but you may be having some anti-romance feelings today. It would be wise for you to avoid any cooing couples -- they are likely to get on your very last nerve. But try not to get too angry at the people who don't know any better than to act as though the rest of the world doesn't exist. Instead, go off on your own and enjoy a break from hearts and flowers. Treat yourself to some luxurious solitude."
Direct hit! And the couple has been getting on my nerves for as long as I can remember. I blogged about them in my previous blog. Read about them HERE my "oo ikaw sana mabasa mo to" entry. My legs still hurt a lot! I tried to get out of bed this morning, but I felt overhwhelming pain when I stepped on the floor! *cries* Buti na lang talaga susunduin ako ng tatay ko ngayon. I don't think I'd be able to commute all the way home. Labels: drama, friends, horoscopes

I learned new words from Hector today!
- Jun - maganda
- Juniel - bakla
- Snack - mukhang hipon
Hector talaga! haha...
I had dinner with Alliv, BC, Chuckie, Gela, Irene, and Ogge. I loved hearing them crack their jokes and hear their stories again, I missed them! Their laughter a while ago made me recall all the times in TLS when I'd hear the same laughter in the air as finish my residency hours. I miss the office and cleaning it too. haha...
My hurt more than ever! I can't even walk properly, my legs won't bend! Grrr... Alliv, BC, and Ogge kept laughing at the way I walked because I walked like a baby who just its first step. I even tripped a few times (especially going down staircases). Nakakahiya talaga, marami pa yung nakakakita sa akin pag natitisod ako. haha... I don't think I can commute home tomorrow either, my legs might not cooperate with me.
By the way, Arik and I invented a new subject made especially for fencing - WATAPRE (water appreciation). Finals? Write a 5-page essay on the importance of water. Try fencing for the DLSU fencing team and you'll see why. haha...
I want to move my blog again. *sigh* Labels: friends

Alliv's last blog entry had a Friendster horoscope in it, so I had the craziest idea to check my horoscope, especially since I don't really believe in the junk horoscopes contain. This time, however, my horoscope was true.
According to my Friendster horoscope: "Talking and socializing should take up as much of your day as possible -- you will get a huge kick out of chitchat with your friends. Today, it's all about who has a crush on whom, what the hottest new trend is, and where everyone is hanging out. Sure, it might not be the most compelling or 'important' stuff there is to talk about, but it adds a nice level of balance to your life, which recently has been filled with too many heavy issues."
I should really shut up more often. I'm getting paranoid all over again. I know I said something wrong a while ago that made a little thing seem like something else, and for that that I'm sorry... It wasn't what it seemed like, nagkataon lang talaga... Sorry ulit... I won't do it again...
I also started thinking again... Migz told me to "be more sensitive, you're already 18"... I haven't been acting like it, and I'm sorry again for that... I've never taken comments like "isip bata" or "para ka namang bata" seriously, but I guess I really do have to take things more seriously from now on... I said before that I don't want to grow up, but I think it's time that I should. I'll grow up, promise. It might just take a little more time for me. I'll change - in little steps I promise I will...
My smile record has been broken today too... I was sooo in my "say hi to everyone" mood when I started my day, but I got stuck in a rut just when I thought the day was over. I feel horrible right now - my arms and legs hurt, plus I feel I want to cry again and I don't even know why. I can't ruin things for myself, especially since it was like I was given a second chance to get things right. I can't allow the past to repeat itself, that's stupid. Who would end up regretful? Me. I've been through too much drama in the past not to learn anything from it, I can't start crying like a little girl again. I hate this ugly feeling... I HATE IT! I wish it would just go away in a blink of an eye. I wish this would all be gone when I wake up in the morning...
Our drills in fencing a while ago were so tiring... I could feel my knees shaking, not the feeling I was looking forward to at all... My legs are so sore from training... Gonna rest now... Bye...

Yay! I was given another chance in HISTCIV to make up for the quizzes I missed. I'm so relieved that I given another chance! I won't mess up this time, promise. I'm gonna be good na, no more cutting class. haha...
Yay! My assignments for FILDLAR and HUMALIT are finished! I finally got to interview Mrs. Rilloraza. She seemed happy to see and alumni of Kostka, so not like the Mrs. Rilloraza I knew when I was still studying there. haha! Kostka also looked different from the outside because of the new paint, but I still got the same old feeling when I stepped into the campus. I miss Kostka and staying there for really long hours to train for taekwondo or just to hang-out with my friends. I also saw Mrs. Tolosa, still smiling of course.
Yay! Fencing tomorrow! I'm gonna see my new fwends! Manghahatak na talaga ako ng tao papuntang Starbucks. I've been craving for a vanilla frappe for the longest time! It's been like forever since I last went to Starbucks.
Yay! More of my debut pictures from Ma-anne!

I love fencing already, promise. I have a lot of new friends, most of them from our batch of newbies. I'm also starting to enjoy the feeling of my quivering knees, just like in taekwondo when I actually looked forward to seeing bumps on my legs after a good spar. haha... I also discovered that I still have my flexibility! Yay! I'm not as elastic as before, but I'll get my old rubber band body back sooner or later. I also my camera with me today. Alliv and Arik took most of the photos because they had my camera. They were "sick", so they didn't train. I still do capture to worst of everyone. haha... ALLIV & JEOYA: SPOT THE DIFFERENCEclick HERE to view more pictures I had dinner with Tin and Ate Core because Arik, Alliv, Jeoya, CO, or Migz couldn't go with me. We ate in Rap, but later on Migz came and we just talked on and on about... Stuff. haha... It still surprises me how I can talk to him about certain things that usually takes me months to open up to other people. With him, it's as if the words don't stop coming out. It's like I'm hearing myself, freaky. It's so much fun talking to my twin! Nainis lang ako kasi nabitin ako sa kwentuhan namin. Sabi ko nga sa kanya maging babae na lang siya para maging roommate ko siya. haha...I came to my senses already, enough said. Labels: fencing, friends, reality check

The funny thing about today was I got what I wanted - a good head start for the day. I slept in Alliv's condo last night so we wouldn't miss PERSEF2. We slept for 5 hours or less, but we woke up before our alarms went off. We got up at 7 when our class was still at 8, can you believe it? We were still late for class though. haha... Our professor for PERSEF2 wasn't as fun as Sir Molano, our PERSEF1 professor, but I saw that some of my group mates were familiar faces from Sir Molano's class, so it wasn't all that bad. Jek also gave me her birthday gift for me. It was the OST of the original Phantom of the Opera movie! I freaked out when I saw it! Now I just need the 2004 version and I'm a happy person. haha... THANK YOU SO MUCH JEK! I love your gift! My GENDERS quiz wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I still hate my answers though... I'm going to take down notes na talaga... Kung anong ganda ng simula ng araw ko, siya namang pangit ng katapusan.I missed two of my classes again. I wasn't able to go to Kostka today because I still have to give Mrs. Rilloraza a letter requesting an interview... Di pa tuloy natapos yung trabaho ko, nakakaasar... I went to see Alliv and Jeoya instead. We talked, but only for a while because Jeoya had to go to class. Alliv wasn't feeling well, so we sat down first. I saw tween again, finally. The three of us were supposed to have dinner together, but Migz wasn't sure what time he'd finish, so we went ahead. I miss hanging out with him already. I stayed in Alliv's condo after. Kinarma din ako sa Goldilocks na yan... Grr... We ate in Dimsum & Dumplings instead. I wasn't able to finish my food, and I won't be eating there in a looooong time!
Alliv got sick again, our gimmick with our fencing friends might not push through tomorrow. Ughh... I was really looking forward to it too... Get well soon Alliv dear. Kinakarma na ako ulit. Whaaah! Must stay positive... Must stay positive... Oh yeah, about my blog's URL... It's named "blankdestiny" because I'm somehow obsessing with the word destiny. I needed a word or two before "destiny", but I couldn't think of anything, so I left it blank. Thus the URL blankdestiny. haha... Labels: erase from memory, school

I was chosen as a speaker in Church for Father's Day today. I made my talk for an hour or two, but it ended up really nice. Na-impress naman yung mga nakinig, buti na lang. I also saw my debut pictures already. I love them! I looked like an idiot in some of them though. haha... I'll be posting them in multiply soon. I'm really excited to attend fencing training on Tuesday. I have my DSLR with me, so I'm back to taking lots of photos. My friends from fencing and I will go out to watch a movie after training, then hopefully hit the arcade! HOUSE OF THE DEAD! I miss playing it so much! More, more, more pictures for that. Yay! On the drama side, feelings have flown away okay... Again, I'm placing myself in the shoes of another one of the Disney characters. Wag nang pagpilitan ang makakasama diba? I don't want the past to repeat itself. Unless na lang... Basta... Ang gulo ko, sencya na... Anyway... Food's here! Ciao! Labels: church, reality check

I didn't go home yesterday, I was too sleepy. I was excited to see my debut pictures, but the temptation to sleep was greater. haha... I had my first quiz in COMALGE and I think I'm going to fail... I hate algebra...
I had dinner with Trish, Ashley, and Tin (all from my dorm) last night. Yellow cab kami ulit - to think I was just there the other night! haha... It was nice hanging out with dormies. It was funny when Ashley was shocked that I never went out of the dorm because me and Alliv have our food delivered. haha...
I went to Alliv's condo after... I told her something... haha... I didn't want to tell anyone, but since she's my dude, I did. I was kinda relieved when I told her, at least I know there's someone I can talk to about it. I still hate the look she pulled when I told her though. haha... Pero kahit ganyan yan, pinagkakatiwalaan ko yan! I know she's NOT going to tell anyone, diba Alliv?! haha...
I miss my tween.

Finally! My new blog's starting to look better! It's still under construction. I don't usually make new entries until I finish my template, but in this case, I'm willing to make an exception. There's too much to yap about to wait. haha...
FIRST. My debut! It was the best night ever! My cheeks actually got tired from all the smiling. haha... I'm older, but I definitely don't feel it. I'm still the same bouncy little girl I used to be. I'm weird. haha... But I loooooved it. In one word, it was magical. I've never felt so happy in my life. I'm glad I decided to push through with the party. You can read about it in my old blog if you want.
Everything's been going great after my debut. I don't know why, but I don't seem to find any reason to frown anymore. Being 18 rocks! haha...
My mom sent me a message yesterday and told me that they already saw the pictures. There were 900+ of them! Huwaw! It's going to be very hard to chose the pictures for a 150-paged album.
SECOND. My new sport - fencing. I've finally decided to try out for the team last Tuesday. I tag along with Alliv sometimes, and just keep laughing at her when she gets tired. Guess who was laughing last Tuesday when I started training. haha... It was tiring, but fun. The pain's not as much as the ones I got from taekwondo, so I guess I can manage. Plus the team is fun to be around with and I have new friends. Yay!
THIRD. Meet my twin - Miguel Aguirre. I met him last Thursday when I was still watching the fencing team train. Alliv and I were left waiting for Arik until we realized hours later that he had already left. It was okay though, because I met Yuri and Migz. It was all fun and laughs the whole night! Migz and I kept playing with the swords/blades while Yuri told us his stories about his mom's paranoia with money. haha!
The following week, I had a looong chat with Migz. I was freaking out because of all the things we have in common. I can't remember everything, but trust me, our similarities are SUPER freaky.
Some of the things I can remember we have in common...
- Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew and Detective Conan - all detectives
- broadway - Phantom of the Opera and others
- CLUE (board game)
- Jack the Ripper. Basta yun na yun. haha...
- A Tale of Two Cities
- Narnia
- Final Fantasy
- Disney
- Hey Arnold (yeah pati yun)
- we're kicking fencers
And for the weirder facts...
- If you count all the letters in Migz Aguirre and Jenn Agustin, you'll end up with the same number.
- We both have the same eye grade - 500 on each eye.
- We both live around Katipunan (Xavierville siya, Loyola Heights ako)
- We argue over the camera poses because the good side of our faces is the left.
I can't even believe until now that I've found my guy version. It's fun having a twin! For a moment I even felt that I've known this guy my whole life. haha... I'm super glad that I met my tween!
I'll post a picture of me and my twin next time, I look ugly in all of the pictures we have so far. haha...
FOURTH. My realizations. Okey, so nagdrama nanaman ako sa tatay ko dahil gusto kong sumali sa Pep Squad ng La Salle pero di niya ako pinayagan. Now I can see why he didn't let me, and I can actually thank him for not allowing me to. A lot of things wouldn't have turned out this way had I joined the Pep Squad. I'll keep them to myself for now, but I'm glad I didn't join.
FIFTH. Happy Birthday Nick! He treated the fencing team and the newbies to Yellow Cab for his birthday. It was also yesterday that members of the fencing team found their twins as well. Alliv and Jeoya, Dino and David, the two Chinese fencers (girl and guy) whose names I don't know yet, and I think Ogge and the other guy whose name I forgot.
Everyone has twins now Tween! We're still the original though. haha...
The fencing team's fun to hang-out with, smiles from me for letting us newbies tag along. Thank you Nick! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!
SIXTH. I'm sleepy... *yawn* Bye bye! Labels: birthdays, dlsu, favorites, freaky encounters
