Darnit! Look at me! Still awake at 3am, having her Math Problem Set still not done, listening to Hale on 4th round album play repeat, making nosense, having committed numerous grammatical mistakes over every entry posted, believing that the most beautiful thing (contrary to my calssmates’ views) is imperfection but could not explain why, having seen clips of  probably the best Filipino movie made in years (which unfortunately isn’t the one my father slaved upon for 7 and a half months), feeling all groggy, expecting that the word ‘groggy’ shall appear in every post written here in the future, pressing the spacebar with her thumb, getting the hang of parallelism, having eyes which are crying out to be shut, ignoring the pleas of her eyes, wearing socks, longing to have her problem set done, wanting to lay on her back and drift off to undisturbed slumber, knowing the impossibility of the previous statement for now, and finally tired from typing yet another senseless, useless, mad, foolish, dull, idiotic, inane, fanciful, ludicruous, etc post.

Good morning.

  Miss Marie, it must be sad for you to think that your biggest fan makes so much errors in grammar and runs a very nonsensical blog.

When will page 2 start?

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

It’s eight and I still haven’t ironed our uniforms. No, rather: I still haven’t removed myself from this seat since three hours ago. I hate my grammar today. I feel like I don’t make sense again. I don’t. Don’t think otherwise.

I don’t know why I chose today as blog-updating day with this English. If I’d have chosen yesterday, things would have gone better. Or would i have felt better.

I love grammar. I just don’t understand why I keep making numerous mistakes in it.

Speaking of grammar, yesterday, we had this Error Recognition Test in English Review class. The Error Recognition test is my most favorite part of any Enlish exam, if I may say, and I quite enjoyed answering it and justifying my answers to the class afterwards. The only drawback might be the fact that I only got 30 out of 40 (Don’t start, I love doing this), and that ** actually got a higher score. Or perhaps I just think she did in the midst of my shallow desperation.

You must be thinking that it would be much better if I shut up right now. Right now. I do think so too. The problem is, my fingers think otherwise. Darnit, they don’t think! Fingers don’t think! Now I feel more groggy than I do late at night.

I am so happy that I have found the English equivalent of the wonderful word "bangag." Now I can continue living.

So, not minding today’s awful English and time which is near to 9pm, I shall start narrating my yesterday.

But will I?

If I couldn’t write a testimonial, a short message, much less an article, what more a really long blog entry? Whoops. I don’t feel like that made sense. Better quit.

Sorry for grammatical mistakes of any kind blahblahblah—no. It MEANS something. It really does.

The overlords needed opposable thumbs to steer their spacecrafts.

Do not type blog entries in Wordpad before posting.

I just read Mica’s documentation of her greatest Saturday and was wholly amazed after. She is amazing. That was—man. John Arcilla’s having a live performance behind me, and I can’t find any word that could stand for ‘amazing’. Nevertheless, she is. Mica is. She’s amazing. I can keep repeating that till kingdom come. She can make a scene. Whoa. Whoa. Neil Gaiman’s coming. Whoa. What will happen? Will we attempt to get an interview? Whoa. Whoa. Really. Amazing.

I knew that somehow I was going to get over that and that this is too soon, but I really had to because if I don’t I won’t be able to finish two pieces of writing today which includes this entry and my article whose topic I can’t decide what yet.

I’m sweating all over. John’s complaining about the video quality of his videoke DVD behind me. He’s watching himself on TV. Damn. I love my uber-long sentences with many conjuctions.

THIS WEEK, I am going to risk a few bills from my Bible to buy two copies of Gaiman books. I hope everything goes well.

NEIL GAIMAN BOOK SIGNING PASS MECHANICS:

1. From June 15-July 11,2005, for a purchase of ONE Neil Gaiman graphic novel or TWO Neil Gaiman books in any Fully Booked (The Powerplant Mall, Gateway Mall and the Promenade Greenhills -soon to open), Bibliarch (Glorietta, Waltermart (Pasong Tamo)) or Sketchbooks (Greenbelt) store, you will get a book signing pass.

2. You can use the book signing pass in any of the book signing venues (July 9 in Fully Booked Rockwell, July 10 FB Greenhills, July 11 FB Gateway).

3. The pass will entitle you to have two items signed by Neil. Every person in each book signing can have max of 2 passes (equals to 4 items). Should you have more than 2 passes, you can go to the end of line after your turn or use the passes in other book signings.

4. Each pass has a one-time validity. (It will be marked and returned to you so you can keep it as a souvenir)

5. Each pass will have a corresponding raffle ticket too, with a chance for you to have dinner with Neil Gaiman on July 11, 2005!

As for the last. I don’t think I’ll be ready for that. But as for the others, MAN! Top prize for the raffle’s the complete collection of Sandman Graphic Novels! :woot!: :woot!: The only thing is, I know I’m never lucky enough to win even at least third in such luck-dependent contests. BAH! Stupid evil thoughts…

What if we did get to interview him…HOOM. Big story, big story.

Shut up, human.

I have to continue—no, start writing my article. Darnit. What would it be about? Scientians in Quantum? Watching TV causes obesity, violence, and death? How irritating Pinoy novelty music is? As much as I want it to, my hand that holds the pen to write articles won’t move. I don’t feel like I have the power over it. I believe that it’s the *fact* that I’m sitting down to write *an article* causes me to challenge myself not to write an article. That’s how I think it goes. Like —this should have been posted last June 13, 2005.

3 minutes left

Monday, June 6th, 2005

We already have classes and only 3 minutes are left until time. I’m in an internet shop. Here we go. Fare you well.

Hard-headed twits…

Forgive the abnormally large font that could not be undone in my last post.

Friendster is so kind to give us the honor to have Pakwan-colored home pages.

There is always the Rotate Button.

There is not enough anger for inspiration to drive me into my best writing state. Or at least the slightest of that state. I do not feel driven, yet if I do continue typing, I believe that — mother calls. She asked me if I bought her the pack of cigarettes she asked from me earlier today. I had rain for the excuse that I haven’t. We are all imperfect.

Today is the second of June. Yes, summer’s over. Sad. Rain has started falling since…since approximately May 17. Either that, before or after. Even so, heat was still grandly present. It only did started falling daily starting sometime May 22, just when we came back from

Baguio

. It rained in

Baguio

too. I must say, that was the first time I encountered a fall in the cold. Like freezer water dripping during a defrosting session. Anyway…

Today was spent mostly out of the house. Either at school or…Quiapo. Yes, I went to Quiapo alone, to those who don’t believe I could. I had and I’m not dead nor hurt nor had any possessions taken unlawfully. Phbbt

So, at school I met with Anna Gee and Ate Rizel who were quite helpful in warding off boredom and my retrieving the report card  which I was supposed to receive way back April 8. (I am not using the family computer; I am using the ancient laptop my doctor of an aunt bought me during my Grade 4 years. I haven’t been much careful with it, thus its rather annoying reactions to my handling. The screen is… not working properly, and I almost can’t read what I’m typing. Nevertheless, I continue.) Imelda Hilario and Mary Grace See were no help at all. They are both the vilest, most accursed souls in that educational institution. As they helped themselves to not helping me take hold of my report card, a thought dawned on me. How could two human beings be so keen to make themselves an image so revolting for everyone to remember? Are they even conscious that these images are what are rendered in people’s mind upon being reminded of them? Sad lives.

Yet despite their maltreatment on me, I was still delivered somehow helped. I was given what there are which I have to do in order to receive the cursed document. They seem to be easy. Wearing my complete uniform, having Imelda’s as well as Ma’am Obli’s signatures on that damned pink piece of paper, and that’s it. Then, the world including me would be all happy.

I have to admit, I really am excited for the upcoming schoolyear. It being the last, I have to spend my senior year however I can to the (I’d hate to have used this word) fullest (It’s sounds cheesy). In fact, I already am collecting the names of my to-be classmates, and upon having collected a few and finding out that they’re not so bad (except for ONE, the most damnable creature in the batch), I started plans for the class which I hope would be apprehended. They are not to be mentioned here since I would like to provide it only for my class and that alone. Phbbt

(Wow, here in Microsoft Word, if you enclose a word, phrase or any group of characters within two asterisks, they turn bold. Amazing.)

I am supposed to write at least one article for submission tomorrow. This is my exercise. I find it difficult to write without conditioning. I have to convince myself that I am in a very good state for writing before I start with something decent. Decent pieces are hard to come up with, much more to finish. Or vice versa. Bah!

What is else is there to discuss about? Cockroaches are showing improvement in their evolving? (or at least those in our house [baka me kinain]) Doggie Boy’s departure? * sniff * Ok, I’m going to concentrate on that. I don’t know when he actually decided to reside in another house (really, I’m no mind reader nor could talk to animal nor stays at home often), but it was just recently that I’ve heard my brother talking about my most favorite domestic pet in my entire life seen at his friend King’s (whose brother’s name is Kong) house, a neighbor. He lives at quite a distance from our house, and my brother had this idea that my beloved feline friend whom I talked to a lot followed him. * sniff * He must be hungry, and it has been long since we had good food with good leftovers fit for eating of a finicky cat. He was (and I believe still is) finicky. He doesn’t eats bones like most cats do. When served leftover chicken bones, he’d search them for leftover flesh. A hard feline to please. Nevertheless, he’s really tame. Tame enough to approach you in a manner that suggests his yearning for getting fondled. Ang labo ng pagsusulat ko ngayong gabi. Pero kelangan talaga eh.

I feel sleepy. I feel like taking a bath. I feel like hiding and brainwashing journ people of the fact that I exist. I can’t produce anything decent! Even my thoughtdump remains unfilled! Sorry, but this week really couldn’t provide me of the mood, and I’m afraid one of Hannah’s card predictions would be proved wrong.

I hate myself.

Type, type, make sense you silly wombat! No, you detestable hedgehog! You are incomparable to office waste basket which proves more useful as it could hold trash unlike you can’t produce anything decent! See?! That didn’t make sense! (Continue rambling, you nut-headed goat, and doom shall be nearer than you expected it to be.)

I live a very sad life. Now.

Yeah, sure that’s what I think. Now. I am a very demented person who sometimes believes she doesn’t have the right to be happy. The screen continues hurting my eyes.

Sometimes, toothbrushing makes your teeth not well. Instead, carbonated drinks do.

There. Pressing the back of the screen helps make the world clear and un-chaotic. My eyes are no longer troubled. Yet I’m sick. Or I feel sick. I want to quit. NOW.
