today in class

no i'm not going to tell about what the topic was so don't worry..

today in women's studies i was amazed at how culturally diverse our class was.. so we were talking about a book, "A Hunger So Deep and So Wide" (or was is so wide and so deep.. oh well..) and she asked us about what messages did we get in our childhoods about our bodies, like eating, diets, body shape, beauty.. and grabe.. there were like, asian-american, persian, chinese, filipino, etc etc etc experiences. i felt really lucky to be in that kind of environment ksi parang i get to see a whole lot of different cultures as opposed to if i go to maybe a midwest school or mas conservative or not as racially diverse school, mas iba ung experience.. wla lang i'm so glad lang na d ko na-ffeel na naiiba ako, yet feel ko pa rin na special ako.. labo ba? hahahhaa

so interesting story na nangyari sa akin kgbi.. hahahah i was taking a shower and i felt like singing.. e wla naman akong masyadong memorize na songs.. so isa sa mga alam ko ung "bakit ngayon ka lang" so kinakanta ko db.. AND BIGLANG MERONG NAKISABAY!! as in gulat ako.. d mo naman maeexpect na merong may alam nun db?! so i was like.. "who's singing?" haha turns out she is filipina.. she's from romblon, came here in the last 2 years of HS, and she's a sophomore now.. hahahahah soooo i might go visit her later.. :) to borrow some OPM(!) cds she has! i'm so excited..

poker... hahaha

i LOVE poker. be it known that today.. tonight.. at 1130 pm February 9, 2005, i beat 4 other people at texas hold'em poker. we started out at 10 chips each (values don't matter since we weren't playing for money (DANG!)) i cleaned out a bunch the first round when i got a pair of kings off the bat. dealing proceeded and there was another king.. so i got 3 kings! and there was a pair out too so i actually got a full house! :D i got a whole bunch that time.. then the game went on.. i got pair after pair after pair, not the first hand but you know.. there was one round where i got simon.. really good. he went all out so we had to show our cards right away.. i had a jack and he had an ace.. dealing.. he got a pair ace first.. then a jack came out.. then the river came.. OH!!! it was a jack! i i pwned that one! :) heeheehee it was so much fun!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

so i got all their chips.. cleaned them out! and even got 2 extra ones coz marc took two from the box to stay in the next round.. needless to sayi took it anyway.. hahahahhahhahahahahha :) that was soooooo good! whahahahahha

on to some somber news.. scary sobra.. we were playing right.. but we knew someone that wanted to play poker too.. so we kinda looked for him but he wasn't there.. then a little later, tri came in and told us that that guy, mario, his roommate's laptop got stolen! shet tlga grabe.. happened like in the last 45 mins while we were playing... coz their door was open i guess and no one was there.. so scary...

so i kinda feel lucky that i had the sense to lock our room... i went over to simon's room (basically the guys' next door's room) to watch Alien Vs. Predator.. (yes.. i watched it and liked it actually..) and remembered that the door was unlocked so i went over and locked it.. the door was closed of course when it was unlocked but who knows right?

subway.. yum!

yes.. i know how to eat subway now.. :D i eat the lettuce, the onions, and the tomatoes.. hahaha :) sarap sarap.. sometimes i even get a craving for them.. mmm.. my fave meat is sweet onion chicken teriyaki.. yummy :D the first time i had that.. i had mine with pickles.. hahah weird b? pero sarap pa rin! :D heheheheheh

i have a midterm tomorrow! for history of jazz.. going to be quite interesting.. since i had a hard time identifying the stupid songs! waaaaaaah.. hahaha buti na lang multiple choice sya.. hahaha else.. dead.. :P

i love using DOVE shampoo and conditioner! it makes my hair so soft.. and i think it's not giving me much pimples.. so it's good.. my hair feels so light when i use it! :D heeheehee and you all know how thick my hair is..

it's been quite hot for winter lately.. imagine mo.. like 50 degree weather in the winter.. it's like.. weird.. knina super init ng araw! pero merong hangin na nagbalance.. pero init pa rin. d n nga ako nagddouble jacket eh.. suot ko lang ung sweater thingy ko ung parang jacket. :) hehehe so un..

i got new shoes! and miraculously, i didn't buy them.. hahah i got them from my friend.. she got these nike shox for an extra 15 dollars with something else she bought but they weren't her size and she couldn't return them or anything.. so she gave them to me! :D ang nice nh? and i didn't have to pay her or anything.. and they're really nice too! as in silver and blue colors :) hehehe bit loose but who cares? they're free!

did i mention my new year's resolution here already? i don't remember so i'll just say it anyway.. i gave up pop.. as in soda pop.. as in coke, sprite, even nestea iced tea coz they're practically the same.. hahaha so.. i started out giving it up completely.. but i resolved to just the weekdays.. so i can have pop on the weekends.. hehe but i still try not to.. pero kng uhaw and un lang ung meron why not db? basta yun.. so now i kinda feel like i'm losing weight.. but it's prob not true.. hahah pero sana.. :)

oooh! speaking of jazz.. so there's this one song on the listening examples that is now my favorite song! haha it's by Ella Fitzgerald.. the song's called "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To". her version is probably so much better than the orig. basta ang ganda grabe ng voice nya.. you download it if you can.. the lyrics are as follows..

You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

it's actually originally sung by frank sinatra i think.. pero i dun care.. better pa rin si ella fitzgerald! hahahahha

i probably should go study some more.. haha sa sunod ulit!
