With only weeks away from her college graduation, Edge has been preparing herself in her very first step to the real world. Where everything is full of competition and has much demands. This is probably the reason why she came up with this theme for her online diary. Next Stop: Real World. After she earns her degree, her life will be changed in one way or another. She may not be able to gimik as often as she wanted. Especially if she gets the job at ABS-CBN. *sigh* But at least doing her job, whatever it will be, will be a big help to her family as well as for herself.

Going to the lighter side, ever wonder what is Edge most afraid of? SNAKES!!!! And she actually became more afraid of them after reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. She couldn't imagine a giant snake with dangerous eyes. So dangerous that if it caught you looking straight at its eyes, you'll die in an instant! Good thing Harry Potter had the courage to defeat it, and with the help of a phoenix. (Hmmm... I wonder what's the Suzaku doing there?) ^_^;

Question: How to win Edge's heart? The answer is simple. She goes for a guy who has the brains, he has to be -of course- sincere and honest as well as a down-to-earth person. Being gentleman also counts. Maybe she goes for looks and riches, but that's her last option. Although she likes a guy with a smile that will definitely catch her attention. ^_^

What will Edge be after five to ten years? Most probably, she'll be working either at ABS-CBN or GMA. Hopefully, she'll be newscaster or a field reporter. But if she'll be more blessed by then, she'll be working either in Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York. Hopefully, a CNN correspondent! haay.... ^_^

here we go!!!

Thursday, January 31, 2002

Alright! No more reason to get lazy. I'm now all set for the finals! Well, erm... sort of. All of our final requirements are now announced. So I guess it’s time. Time to get back to work. And I mean back. Kasi there are some stuff to be finished before Final exam week. That is,... first week of March!

Tulad sa thesis, I have to present my thesis ASAP, have its major revision & have to finish the survey. For RTV-14, the concert will be moved from February 25 to February 28. Well, sana nga. Sabi nila eh. Thank God my job description is a production assistant so I guess I won’t be having a hard time till the concert day. Sa photography naman, we will –as usual- take photos in the field. Then, the best shots will be included in photo exhibit. Meanwhile, we will have group debate as our final exam in Debate class. Tapos, I need to submit my requirements and attend the eco-seminar for the practicum & I’m done! After the crucial two weeks (Feb. 25 to Mar. 08)…. Malaya na ako! NEXT STOP: THE REAL WORLD!!! Haaay...

To my classmates who are reading this,... Hoy! MC9842 people, good luck sa ating lahat! ^_^

major makeover

Monday, January 28, 2002

In just four days, I had practically transformed my mature image to a younger one. Hey! No joke about this. After a haircut last Friday (which happened to be my birthday ^_^), today, may alambre na ako sa ngipin! Yup yup yup. I bought a removable retainer for just Php130. At first I thought it won't work on me, but I did. Carry ko naman eh. ^_^ And as expected, I'm earning compliments again. Ang cute ko daw!!! ...As in. Hahahaha! ^___^ Plus points sa kagandahan ko ang new look ko. No doubt about that!

The only person against my new look is none other than my sis. Ha! Inggit lang siya! Di lang kasi magkasya sa kanya yung retainer ko. Bwahahahahahaha!!! Pero the bad thing about it is.... I'm having the difficulty in speaking. Parang nakakain ang salita ko while wearing it. But of course... it's from the start lang. Masasanay din siguro ako.

So what's the plan? Simple. I'll wear the retainer kapag nagkita na kami ni Woods. I just wonder kung anong magiging first impression niya sa akin. Hmmmm.....

ACK! IT'S NICK CARTER'S BIRTHDAY!!! I almost forgot!!!

P.P.S - it's FEU'S 74th founding anniversary. In other words, University week! But where's the party?

the call

Monday, January 28, 2002

My new netpal called me up last night. Dapat kasi sa chatroom kami mag-uusap, but I'm out of prepaid card na (but still not so sure) so I told him to call me up instead. Well, he did. Grabe! Ang kulit niya no! ^_^ AT! He wanted me to tell everything about my past with you-know-who! Argh. >_< Pero in fairness, mabait din siya. Masaya siyang kausap (parang si you-know-who haaay! -_-*), sweet (is he?!)... basta in general, he's cool! Madaling makasundo. Dapat nga nagkita na kami kahapon. Di nga lang natuloy.

Hindi ko lang alam kung tatawag uli siya tonight. Kaya I have to wait for his text to find out. Well... sana nga....

BTW, may tawagan na kami. I'm Snoopy while he is Woodstock. But he calls me Snoop for short, while I call him Woods (sana Wood na lang para Oliver Wood! yahahahaha!) ^_^

oist! (for allieza!)

Sunday, January 27, 2002

Hey Ali! OK lang ba ang layout nitong blog ko? Masyadong simple eh. But I'll improve it little by little. I'm finding a way to download the pics kasi pitas doesn't host images. Sayang kasi ang ganda ko dun sa pic. ^_^ Anyway, thanks for the company at SM Pampanga. Ikaw na ang bahala sa regalo ko sa kanya (you know who!). And try to bring him here on my graduation party. Haay...

Oh. well, let's keep our fingers crossed. I'll see you soon dear cuz! ^_^

later...

Sunday, January 27, 2002

I went to SM Pampanga with Allieza. Dapat kasama namin siya. But we couldn't keep in touch with him lately kaya we never knew if he wanted to come. haaay... This is the loneliest birthday in my life. My dad's business trip to Davao was another reason why I'm sad. Wag na sanang maulit ito. -_-*

Anyway, back to our gimik. We had lunch, saw a movie, strolled around the mall while talking about... who else? None other than him... again!!! Haaay! How pathetic I am! Pero everything went OK naman earlier. Besides, kahit wala siya, I would still go mall-hopping with my cousin. And we did! Mamatay siya sa inggit! har har.... ^_^;

I got home at around 8PM, and I still got to see my friends. And they liked my haircut! Kris Aquino na raw ako! yahahahaha! ^________^ Thanks for the compliment! You don't have to tell me na maganda ako ngayon. Before pa, maganda na ako kahit ganoon ang katawan ko no! har har....^_^

the day after......

Saturday, January 26, 2002

One day after my birthday, now looking forward to the next one. I just wonder how everything will go a year from now. Hopefully, I already have my stable job by then & my salary is in five figures. ^_^ Or better yet my feet is set on Californian or New York soil. Haay...

But going back to reality, it's now back to work for me by Monday. I must have presented my thesis by next week so I can get on with the surveys. Meanwhile, I'm also preparing for our class TV production. I still don't know what will be my photography final requirement. Hope it's not developing a film. Although I like photography, I'm kinda impatient in developing films manually. All I want is to take pictures. Yun lang. On the other hand, I need to search for readings for our debate class. Ang hirap din palang bumuo ng arguments. It really needs squeezing up your critical thinking to make your argument, well... "valid". Thank God I'm done with my internship. But I missed working at ABS-CBN though. haaay........ -_-*

i'm now 21! haaay.....

Friday, January 25, 2002

*sings* Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to me!!!! ^_^ Haay! I can't believe I'm now 21 years old. Feels like kahapon lang when I had my debut. But now, I'm a true woman now. As in totally bawal na ang magpaka-childish. Time to get serious. AT!!! Time to have a boyfriend. haaay. -_-* Pero ayoko muna. I want to finish this term before I get into boyfriend hunt again. And besides, I'm not yet fully recovered. I can wait for that naman eh. But right now, I have to celebrate this day made for me. ^_^

BTW, to those who greeted me and now reading this blog, salamat sa mga greetings nyo! hope to see yah guys soon! ^_^ mmwwahh!!!!

It's been a while since my last entry. I'm scribbling this right in the comfort of my home. Our phone's OK now so I can now log-in whenever I want, unless -of course- the phone's jammed down again. Meanwhile, I still have difficulty in constructing my page lay-out. I think I'll need the help of my netpals! *sigh* But I think it won't take long before I finish it... hopefully.

Gosh! Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm psyched! Well... kinda. I just have to celebrate it in school, though. Hope he'll call me up or just text me.... haaayyy....... >_<

damn it!!!!

Thursday, January 17, 2002

I'm back. And I'm mad! Our phone was disconnected yesterday. Argh! Just when we had our new PC. I even bought an internet card for Php100, and I cannot use it till our phone's OK. And I'm not pretty sure when the bill will be settled! Oh, dammit. I just hate it! hate it! HATE IT!!! Wrong timing talaga!!! *kicks the phone table*

Pero in fairness, I got to see my kada again. As usual, we were not complete in attendance, but they had their boyfriends with them kaya marami na rin kami. Blech. It's a good thing I'm not alone. Riza doesn't have one too. So she told me, "Edge, partners tayo ngayon!" hehehehe. We did! ^_^ But I couldn't help being lonely all over again. *sigh*

Today's my thesis presentation. Wish me luck!

Wednesday, January 16, 2002

Three things today. First, I'm still arranging the lay-out of this blog of mine. And I think I'm going insane right now! Although I now have the idea how will the page look like. Nakakaaliw din pala ang HTML! I might be a mad web expert someday if I keep on doing this. *sigh*

Second, mom just texted me before I got started constructing this page. And guess what? DAD BOUGHT ME A BRAND NEW PC!!!! Yipee!!!! That's why I'm dying to go home and continue my job here.

Third, today is my friend's birthday. And I'm going to her house tonight. Plus. My kada will be there, with their respective boyfriends! The celebrant & I don't have one right now. *sigh* Malulungkot na naman ako nito. I couldn't help it when I remember our past. I really want to get over this soon. BTW,....

Hey Riza dear! Happy happy birthday to you. I'm praying you (I mean we, hehehe) will find our Mr. Right soon. Gosh! Time will tell lang talaga....

Monday, January 14, 2002

Sorry if my blog looked so damn plain like this right now. I'm making major changes with the layout design. And I have problem in uploading that damn Nakuru pic. Hope I can re-open it within the month also. Gotta go for now.....
