Xian Lim MADNESS!


#wattatruefan
#legitfangirl


instant PAMILEE reunion because of XIAN LIM! :">
Anyway, super aga namin pumunta sa Robinsons Pulilan kasi hindi namin alam kung what time start ng mall tour ni Xian Lim. Dapat by 1:30pm papunta na kami sa Mall...pero naging 2:00pm kasi FILIPINO kami (pero si Michelle Santos, parang Korean) =))








Feel ko, nagutom na si Janina kahihintay samin sa mall. Ang tagal kasi ni Ikee!!! naunahan pa siya ni Michelle (for the first time in history) >:)
Pagdating namin sa mall, umihi muna kami...pero hindi natuloy kasi mabaho yung CR. Tumambay kami sa labas na malapit sa restrooms. Mga isang oras kami nakatayo lang na naghihintay dumating si Xian. 


Ayy! naglaro muna kami ng Basketball. Syempre, hindi yung totoo. Yung sa arcade lang. Naging tradition na kasi namin ang maglaro ng basketball sa arcade tapos pagalingan ng skills, pataasan ng score, palakihan ng braso =)) 


Nanalo ang team JANINA-MICHELLE :| pero last time, kami ni Ikee ang winners. Hay :|
sa individual challenge naman:


1st place: JANINA
2nd place: me
3RD place: MICHELLE (nag-practice pa talaga yan sa TIMEZONE sa triNoma)
4th place: IKEE 






yung first  try ko, nagloko yung arcade :| na-stuck lahat ng bola sa ring =)) mga 5 balls yon =))


nangalay yung braso ko ng sobra! yung feel na parang hindi ko na kayang mag-drive pauwi at hawakan yung manibela =))

Sabi ni Janina, doon daw kami maghintay. Sumunod naman kami sa idea niya kasi malakas ang claim niya:


Michelle: bakit ba andito tayo nakapwesto?
Janina: diyan kasi nagbibihis lahat ng artista na bumibisita dito sa Robinsons.
Michelle: talaga?
Janina: oo, diyan nagbihis si Jopay. yung sexbomb. tapos pinakaguluhan =))


Tama nga si janina! super swerte namin kasi nung konti palang ang tao...nakita namin si Xian na papunta sa dressing room! Lumabas siya from Handyman. Yung mga saleslady at cashier don, natulala. Parang nakalimutan na may trabaho sila =)) waaaaaaa. Na-stun kami. As in sobrang natameme.  Matagal ng nakapasok si Xian sa dressing room nung natauhan na ulit kami. Walang makapag-salita. godlike! :"> ang gwapooooooooooooooooooooooo! friendly pa :">


AUTOGRAPH BOOK? wahaha
Mga isang oras kami nagkwentuhan about sa mga artista. Dapat talaga nagsuot kami ng pang-disguise kasi nakakahiya na talaga ginagawa namin. Baka may makakilala pa samin! (tapos meron nga :|)  =)) Puro JEJE kasi yung nanunuod :| tapos gusto rin namin manuod...so, parang na-jejefied na kami.


Yung iba, super tili! yung iba, kahit bodyguard lang ni Xian pa yung lumalabas, nawawalan na ng hiniga sa kakahiyaw. Yung nakita namin na nakapink na babae, sa kakatalon bumaba ng boobs-level yung blouse niya! parang naging instant off-shoulders at tapis na =)) 
Si Michelle may dalang notebook. Sabi niya, para raw makapagbasa siya. Feel ko, nagdala siya non para papa-autograph siya =))
Kapag nabasa niya to, masasapak ako! =))


Tumambay kami sa malapit sa Master siomai. Tapos yung nagbabantay don, isang matabang babae. Swerte siya sa place niya kasi may harang tapos nadaanan pa siya ni Xian! wala pa siyang kaagaw kasi closed yung place niya :| kainggit! pwedeng pwede niya abutan ng siopao o kaya siomai si Xian! 

Nung kumapal na ang JEJE population sa tabi namin, na-sense na namin na malapit na lumabas ng dressing room si Xian! nako, parang may nag-babadyang stampede! nakakatakot. 


Sam: siguro malapit na lumabas si Xian.
Michelle: oo nga, tagal...
Sam: sana dumaan malapit dito satin.
Michelle: oo, dadaan niyan.
Sam: paano mo nasabi yan?
Michelle: eh winawalisan. baka lagyan ng red carpet =))


FINALLY! nag-start na rin ang program. Mga 15 minutes lang yung fans day =)) nagutom kami, kaya kumain muna kami. 1 large pizza and 1 small pizza para fair share saming four. WEAK si Michelle, 3 slices lang! =))


Ang swerte nung ibang JEJE at mga bakla dahil may face silang pumunta malapit sa stage at mag-scream like a sissy fangirl =)) Hindi kasi kaya ng hiya namin yon wahaha kung sana nasa ibang mall na walang may kilala samin. Eh sa Robinsons Pulilan kasi! super small ng town namin, tapos yung ibang tao na familiar...magugulat ka, kapit-bahay mo na pala =))


Mas matagal pa yung journey papunta ni Xian sa Pulilan, Bulacan kesa sa tinagal ng mall tour niya =)) wagas!


After namin mabusog at manuod ng mall show, naisipan namin pumunta sa free fan pictorial with Xian...kaso FAIL. Hindi kami makalapit kasi hindi nauubusan ng JEJE =)) 
Naisipan namin mag-basketball ulit bago pumunta sa simbahan. Nakita namin si ate Lileth! certified true fan din siya! natatawa ako. Nakahanap kami ng kakampi =))


Nagsimba kaming apat hihihi :"> 
Tapos, binigyan ako ni Michelle ng picture niya para raw ilagay ko sa wallet ko. Super kiligs! :">
yung picture niya napaksaya. Muntik ng mangiti! =))
Binigyan niya rin sina Ikee at Janina, kaso isa lang each sila. Akin dalawa :">


NAKAKAPAGOD! 
bitter pa rin ako kasi hindi ako nanalo sa arcade. Maliit kasi braso ko
sabi ni Michelle, lalaki daw braso namin pag lagi kaming maglalaro at kakain ng marami.


Michelle: lalaki braso natin sa kakalaro nitong basketball.
Sam: yung akin kaya. Tinitingnan ko, pero hindi naman lumalaki.
Michelle: bukas pa yan lalaki. pag-gising mo.


So ayan, matutulog na ako. Tataba na braso ko pag-gising ko :">

BioSTAT notebook design




This one's a very LATE post.
One day, I went to Ikee's room (just a floor below our unit). Very FAR, I know =))


Well, basically I went there to borrow some colored pens. I ended up helping her design her BioStat notebook. I did the lettering and cut-out some circles using her coin plus...I did almost all the cutting job. So like a LEGIT ALILA =)) 


Anyway, I suggested we should apply paper strips on her notebook. Ikee said it was overrated =)) I countered her by stating that I used the same paper strip technique in my 4th year high school portfolio and it went out great. I suggested the technique to her for several times--and several times rejected. 


Moving on, the notebook was okay naman. My favorite color :">
The colored paper Ikee used to cover her notebook was the corrupted printout draft of the letter she gave to me for my 18th birthday. HAHA. RECYCLED. 


P.S. Thanks to Yaya Ann for my gay pajama =))

Jejedays 101: LETTERS, please pen back foezz


Minsan sa ating nakaraan, tayong lahat ay naging JEJE. Hindi ko exactly alam kung paano ko i-eexplain ang pagiging JEJE. Pero dahil sa pagiging determinado ko na bigyan ng definition and pagiging JEJE, ito ang na-formulate ko:

JEJE- a dyhybrid combination of over-artistically interrelated traits: jologs, peace sign, smiley (^_^) , JAPAN, ITALY, BOOKS BEFORE BOYS BECAUSE BOYS BRING BABIES, and gm na may signature sign like this:

                                      ~~$Amm_917 d(^_^)b ~~

Kagaya nga ng sinabi ko, minsan sa buhay ng isang tao mararanasan mo talaga ang pagiging JEJE. I mean, sa ngayon siguro ikinakahiya mo ang pagiging jologs mo nung high school ka or grade school. Itatakwil mo ang jeje mong pagkatao habang tumatanda ka. Pero isa tong definite phase sa ating buhay.

Naisip kong gumawa ng series of stories about sa jejevolution ng mga kakilala kong mga tao.  Ito ang unang istorya...

************************

          Nung grade school ako, usong-uso ang sulatan ng letters at ibibigay mo ito sa friends mo. Akala mo naman napaka layo ng pagbibigyan ng sulat, na samakatuwid...pwedeng katabi mo lang sa upuan. Ang drama ng bigayan ng letters ay akala mo overseas. Minsan nagsusulatan kami ng “take care” o kaya “see you soon” na sa totoo lang, kinabukasan magkikita na naman kayo.

Syempre, pagandahan pa yan ng stationary na gagamitin. Magastos at pabonggahan talaga! Minsan, dapat iba’t ibang design pa ng stationary per person na susulatan mo. Yung iba, parang intermediate pad lang, yung iba scented, yung iba naman napaka bakla ng design, yung sa iba naman may envelope pa na mas mahaba ang nakasulat sa envelope kesa sa letter mismo sa loob.

Noong grade six kami ng batchmates ko, ang pagsusulat ng letters sa isa’t isa ay parang facebook wall ko ngayon...napupuno ng SPAM. (kasalanan ni JANINA MERCADO >:P)

Ang mga susunod na ipapakita ko ay snapshots ng actual jejeletters from my jejeloving jejefriends, jeto nah!

*******************

Ito ay isang page na pinilas ni Jennifer Layug sa botany notebook niya nung grade school pa kami. Sa pagkakatanda ko, ito yung time na magkasama kami sa “Cleaners” assignment sa class. Habang nagsusulat kami ng lecture, hindi niya ata nagustuhan either yung itsura ng sulat niya or yung drawing niya nung seed =)) kaya pinunit niya yung page na yan ng notebook niya. Actually, yung basura niya na yan ay mas maganda pa rin sa mukhang basura kong notebook =)) Natural sa grade schooler na i-document lahat para hindi makalimutan, pero makakalimutan pa rin talaga...nag-hirap ka lang. May special dedication pa si Phen sakin...plus dated pa yung pagpunit niyang krimen.

“Sam, tago mo ‘to ah. Unang punit ko ‘to eh!!!”

At syempre, natural din sa isang grade schooler ang magpauto kagaya ng kinasapitan ko...tinago ko nga! Kakahanap ko lang kagabi kasama nung ibang nililibag na letters na binigay sakin ng classmates ko dati =))

************************



Iyan naman ang Christmas card na binigay sakin ni Janina Mercado nung 2nd year kami. Hindi ko maalala kung kanino ko binigay yung card na ginawa ko, pero malamang pangit din yon kagaya nitong kay Janina =))

Uso rin noon ang pagkakaroon ng unique style ng card na gagawin mo. Naalala ko, yung ginawa ko hindi unique kasi ang pagiging unique ay naging hindi na unique (ang gulo :|) =))

Kapag binuksan mo ang letter niya, meron pang mga papel na takip na kailangan mong i-flip bago makita ang message. PInahirapan pa ako! Tapos sa sides naman, makikita mo ang boxing gloves ni Pacquiao...ay!!! Christmas stockings pala yon =)) sa right side naman ng card, makikita mo ang Christmas tree na parang binaliktad na turnilyo =))

Pero thankful ako na sakin yan binigay ni Janina kasi may extraterrestrial akong mabibida sa inyo =))

***********************


Itong susunod na card...hindi naman talaga JEJE pero gusto ko lang i-share. Bigay sakin to ni Michelle Santos!!!!!!! *kiligs* WAHAHAHA papatayin niya ako nito! lagot na! Na-touch ako dahil nag-effort pa siya na gawan akong ng sand art na star hihihi hindi niya kasi ginagawa on naturally.

Binigay niya sakin yan nung 16th birthday ko...with matching book pa yan na “Witch of Portobello” by Paulo Coelho <3

***********************

Okay, itong next letter rfrom Kathleen Salivio. Natawa lang ako dito kasi mali spelling  ng name ko wahahahahaha

“SAMATHA” =))

end of story.

***********************

 Wala akong naintindihan sa letter na yan!!! mindfuck letter from Michelle Santos =)) Binigyan niya ako ng coded letter...without the codes :| (hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano message niya sakin na yan)

Naalala ko, tawag niya sakin noon ”King Aragorn” kasi favorite ko LOTR. Then ang tawag ko sa kanya ”Master Fowl” dahil naman sa Artemis Fowl na fave niya. Kami lang dalawa lagi sabay mag-lunch nung grade 6. Parang mga outcast and antisocial =))

JEJE move din yung pag-gawa ng letter na ikaw lang nag-imbento ng sariling codes =)) itong kay Michelle, feel ko nakuha niya lang yan sa ibang tao. Kaya hindi siya considered sa legit JEJE.

***********************



Ito naman from Carmela Pile. According to my statistics, siya ang may pinaka madaming letters na binigay sakin sa buong buhay ko. Gusto ko ibigay rin ang award na MOST GAY STATIONARY sa kanya! congratulations! hahahaha

***********************



 ‘nuff said. Legit JEJE tong si Katrina Navarro =))

right, K3NA? =))

***********************



WAHAHAHAHA! Bigay to sakin ni Alyssa Santos nugn 6th grade! natatawa ako. First time ko siya naging classmate non. Hindi ko pa siya kilala tapos bigla niya ako binigyan ng letter =)) Araw-araw niya akong kinukulit na mag-pen back ako...ewan ko lang if ginawa ko nga. Yun lang dialogue namin buong grade six :))

Alyssa: “Pen back, Sam. oke thankz”
Me: ah sige >:)

***********************


Itong si Janel Salivio...miss ko na (:<) favorite ko siyang asarin! hindi ako mabubuhay pag hindi ko siya inaasar :(( super fun niya i-bully kasi mabait :))
Meron din siyang legit JEJE na nakaraan :))

Iba’t iba ang alam niyang pakulo sa mga letters. Feel ko, siya ang master imbentor ng jejeletterz with proness powers. Meron pa siyang gimik na “Smile muna” bago  buksan ang letter.

Mahilig din siya sa TCCIC, ITALY, DUBAI, ROME, PARIS, at yung sa sulat niya na dapat JAPAN...JAPA lang nalagay =))

***********************



Ikee Gonzales! we have been close ever since...forever. But now, ewan ko nalang. HMP.

Anyway, laging weird and striking color yung mga ginagamit niyang pens. Meron siyang letter sakin na parang reflector vest ng traffic officer and kulay. Even though gusto ko yung color orange...masakit naman talaga sa mata basahin :| nakakainis =))

Tapos super effort din yang si Ikee. Biruin mo, naisipan niya pa gumamit ng legal bond paper at mongol 2 pencil para sa letter!? :|

Naalala ko, binigyan niya ako ng letter na ang laman ay about sa regalo niyang chopstick sakin wahahaha defensive! =)) binigyan niya ako ng chopstick. isa lang. hindi complete yung pair pangkain kaya hindi mo magagamit. Honestly, nawala ko yung gift niya na yon =)) Ang huli kong tanda, ginamit ko yon as magical wand (feeling Harry Potter) =))

YEAH BOY :P

***********************




Ito naman kay Catherine Bautista galing. Natawa ako kasi nilagyan niya pa ng shade na gold yung sa letter niya...konti ko ng di nabasa nakasulat =)) akala ko, hindi para sakin nung una =))

***********************
At diyan nagtatapos ang post na ito. Abangan ang susunod na kabanata ng jejedays 101 :>

I have a feeling, yung letters na binigay ko sa kanila...napaka GAY and laging may drawing...o kaya masyadong maikli...masyadong mahaba...basta.

Immature



They called me IMMATURE, I called them STUPID.

This is for the people who once I know...now, I knew.

In our lives, we all have been “labeled” by all sorts of shitty adjectives that we thought that were TRUE of us...but NOT REALLY. We just went too foolish to think what other people comment about us, and usually superimposed who we really are. And yes, we worry too much about these senseless criticisms; leaving us with liquefied identity or rather, a dissolved sense of self.

I guess, I was “labeled”. I tried to erase these adverse trademarks:

Grade 1: shy
Grade 2: quiet
Grade 3: passive
Grade 4: irresponsible/ PWEDE na rin ang KSP
Grade 5: immature
Grade 6: still, labeled as immature

1st year: nobody
2nd year: quite someone
3rd year: rebel (not to a great extent, but yes / Another YES, I’m defensive)
4th year: bully (lol)

Now, I love being ME and I don’t give a damn on what other people might think.

Back in 5th grade, I had this teacher... I couldn’t call her mean, so I classified her under “less subtle”. She asked me to stay for awhile after classes end in the afternoon. She talked to me when everyone in class was already gone. She mentioned some of my consistent negligence regarding my schoolwork. I appreciated her concern, but I thought she should’ve talked to my parents about that. I mean, what do you expect from a 5th grader to change his/her lazy routine easily because you said it so???

She called me “immature”, in a very serious tone. I just looked away...confused.
Was she expecting me to respond? should I or shouldn’t I? What should I respond?

She started saying other ill adjectives that she thought best described me. I just looked away...trying to hold myself together...I kept calm, held my tears, and waited for her to shut up. As far as I could remember, all I said was: “Paano po?”

She called me immature because I was irresponsible; TRUE that! But weren’t most of us in the classroom? She called me immature because she thought I was too busy reading books and watching cartoons, being proud of it. I mean, I was just enjoying things that were I guess, appropriate for my age; while most of my classmates were busy finding their true love in 5th grade, watching teleserye wishing to have their own someday, breaking their hearts for someone they didn’t really know...what’s more immature than that??? And stupid too.

I could’ve believed in this teacher...all the words she said to me sound convincing...played a perfect harmony in describing who I was—but not someone who I really wanted to be. Good thing, I didn’t listen to her! >:) What could I possibly learn from a person much more narrow-minded than I? I wish the same time she let her hair grow, she let her mind too. I pity her for having constricted wisdom when I was in 5th grade. I hope she aged with wisdom, through the years.

٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭٭

In 6th grade, we had our yearbook description shiz. We were asked to write adjectives for all of our classmates which best describe them. Most of the comments in my paper were “childish”, “immature”, “makulit”, and all related adjectives from the said three. I wasn’t surprise about the adjectives they wrote. I was more surprised on how my yearbook description turned out far from the adjectives that what were written in my paper.

I remembered those people who wrote “childish” and “immature”. Now, they deserve those words more than I do. They are pretty much the same like in 6th grade (excluding the face and body physique) =))

I couldn’t blame them! I also used adjectival-enigma...I veneered my words =))
Here are some examples of the adjectives I wrote on my classmates’ papers and their underlying meaning:

Intelligent – simply because you’re included in the top ten of the class/ you have eyeglasses

Mabait/ Good – I don’t know you. Hindi kasi tayo close. hahahaha

Maganda/ pretty- because you’re tall or white =))

Mayaman- mas madami baon mo sakin

Masaya/Happy – because I have nothing better to say  =))

Maharot- pawis ka kasi lagi

Matakaw- kasi mataba ka/ nakikikain ka sa baon ko

masipag- kapal kasi ng kalyo mo sa kamay =))

trustworthy- madami ka kasing alam na tsismis =))

funny- kasi pangit ka WAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I would like to thank Chris Brown and Lil wayne for a wonderful post-ender.

For all the people in the past who labeled me:

“LOOK AT ME NOW!”
