...but your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
| What Maniel Grace Means |
 You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. |

teacher nightmare
following my whiny little post about my two brats, it occured to me why that recent class bothered me so much. may kwento e.
when we were in 3rd year high school, we had this Math Enrichment teacher whose name escapes me at the moment (or probably because there's no compelling reason to remember it. haha). So this teacher, Ms. ME, was supposed to handle our Trigo classes. and she absolutely had NO classroom management skills! being (naturally) 3rd year hs brats, she just basically let us run around - she allowed us to switch seats, didn't reprimand us for talking in class, tolerated eating, drinking and turned a blind eye on, get this, cheating. so for people in our class, Ms. ME's time = FREE time.
socatoa lang yata yung natutunan ko dun - and i'm not even sure i got that right. (yes, bobo sa trigo!) but for all the fun that we had under her ME rule, Ms. ME typifies everything I DON'T WANT TO BE as a teacher - a totally uninspired educator who's just resigned to the fact that her students are uninterested in what she has to teach. fMs. ME wasn't merely helpless, she was totally uninspired.
natatakot lang siguro akong maging katulad ni Ms. ME. alam niyo yun -- yung teacher na, siya mismo, naniniwala na wala namang magiging impact yung mga tinuturo nya sa buhay ng mga estudyante niya so hindi na siya mage-effort na gumawa pa ng lesson plans. magpe-petiks na lang sya tuwing class time at magtuturo sa hangin.
:( miserable.
ayokong maging ganung klaseng teacher. and i don't wanna hate teaching. (so what do i do with those two uninterested helpless KSP kids?) somebody save me. hindi ko naman pwedeng gawing jurassic park (presenting me as the predatory T-Rex) yung classroom ko.

needy little children
are tiring. they drain the life out of a teacher trying her best to be nice. kids who don't want to cooperate shouldn't be forced to study something they're not interested in. moms should just make them stay home and play. or go bring them to the park. or give them endless supply of paper to draw a million dinosaurs.
at some point, inherent cuteness stops being amusing.

worms for the the new year
the past few days had me nearly hyperventilating. the cause? barely 15minutes after opening my pc, the whole thing would freeze. new processes, folders would refuse to open and the thing just won't properly shut down. i really thought Lappy the pc is giving out on me or has some serious memory problems which i'd be helpless against since:
a.) i didn't bring my installers and drivers here (stupid!)
b.) i wouldn't know how to ask them japanese computer guys to fix my pc problem, and even if i could ask our Japanese school person to help me --
c.) i don't think they'd be too happy to help me fix Lappy, since well, I'm kinda using a pirated program
so like a lover spurned, i was walking around for days worried sick in a state of panic and melodrama. hindi makatulog, hindi makakain, hindi ma-feel ang Happy New Year.
but yay, after a few sleepless nights and bugging the boyfriend to help, finally weeded out what's been causing Lappy's diminished health -- a few worms and 2 viruses. (okay, isa pang stupid move - not having any antivirus programs while brazenly downloading/watching countless TV shows).
which brings me to the point i'd like to make, i really am internet depedent here. it's my social life. my getaway. my version of SM North Edsa here in Fukui. the internet holds one of the key to my staying powers here -- as long as i can talk to my friends online (ym), get updated with some of the more important things going on in their lives, I'll be fine.
hence, the thought that if Lappy dies, being alone and friendless here would become too unbearable. i'd be too miserable. and i'd probably resort to these two desperate options:
a.) pack my bags and leave for home, quick! but well, i can't really do that now since airfares are too expensive because of the holidays. i'd have to wait until february til they're normal again. february? that's a whole month of being internet-less, multiply-less at home. nah, that's way too long.
b.) acquire a new laptop. pero wala pakong budget. *sniff. it'd mean being in debt for a while. which would mean being morally obliged to stay here longer to pay off the new laptop cost. (and i soooo wanna go home!)
so ayun. buti na lang happy ending. well, not quite. i still have to end (a few) processes everytime i log on. but at least now i get a bit of my internet life back. and i can sleep and eat normally again. allow me to say this though: (in jologs arm-raising, finger-pointing mode) SH*T NYO, WORMS, VIRUSES, TROJANS! PH*KYO, y'all! INTERNETSCUMS *^^$%#*^#&^@&* %#*^#&^!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE! :)

che_limjoco: haha, i know what you mean.. somehow
nyel: nice sila pero alien e.
che_limjoco: hahahha
che_limjoco: minsan naman kahit dito madaming alien e
nyel: tsaka, well, ang "palabas" ng school namin, taga-chicago ako!
nyel: (taas-kilay smiley)
che_limjoco: (laugh-trip smiley)
nyel: totoo! may ganung eklat na kunwari "native speaker" ako. kaya siguro hindi rin ako comfy about sharing too much (w/ the students). ang hirap magsinungaling at gumagawa-gawa ng mga kwento, potah.
nyel: hindi ako consistent. nakakainis.
che_limjoco: (laugh-trip smiley)
che_limjoco: soooo funny

nyel: ayoko ngang tinatanong ako about my “life in Chicago”
che_limjoco: sabihin mo na lang you don't want to talk about it. coz you don't like your past. like may family issues ek
nyel: true. hindi talaga ako consistent– like dati, ang press release ko, dun ako pinanganak. pero masyadong malaking kasinungalingan kaya pag may bagong nagtatanong, sinasabi ko na lang, nag-“migrate” kami dun when I was 3.
nyel: well, i do say i came back to the Philippines 2 years ago.
che_limjoco: which makes you more in tune with reality
che_limjoco: hahhahaha
nyel: so most of the time i just focus on my wonderful life in the Philippines.
che_limjoco: ye ye, ganun nga!
nyel: feeling ko nga nag-su-suspetsa na yung iba na taga-Pilipinas talaga ako
nyel: (which somehow makes me feel worse because i really don't wanna lie about it)
che_limjoco: hhahahahahaahhaa
che_limjoco: tangina
nyel: i don't really care if they find out what’s true.
nyel: like, yung school naman yung may idea na magsinungaling ako about it.
che_limjoco: hahahah
nyel: so yun, gusto ko nang umuwi.
che_limjoco: hihi
che_limjoco: medyo mahirap nga yun
che_limjoco: pero nakakatawa
nyel: oo, no. at hindi pa yan ang punchline.
che_limjoco: omg! hahahha
che_limjoco: ano???
nyel: apparently, they can't pronounce "maniel"(it'll sound like a twisted version of "manueru"). so I go by my 2nd name -- "Grace".
che_limjoco: (intense laugh-trip smiley)
nyel: (flashes the loser smiley – for myself)
che_limjoco: rotfl!!!
nyel: ok.instead of letting you just laugh at me, i'll laugh with you now. (tawa, tawa)

panahon ng hinagpis
galing sa blog ni Liam:
Prof. Monico Atienza also passed away this afternoon.
Hindi ako makahinga. Nakakapanghina. Nung freshie palang ako, si Sir Monico ang isa sa mga unang propesor na nakasalamuha ko sa KAL. Kailangan kong gumawa ng paper nun para sa KAS at may nagturo sakin ng kwarto nya. Interbyuhin ko daw tungkol sa First Quarter Storm. Wala pa talaga akong masyadong alam nun tungkol sa mass activism o SR movement. Para talaga akong tanga habang matiyaga akong pinaliliwanagan ni Sir Monico. Hindi ko na masyadong maalala kung ano yung mga eksaktong sinabi o kinuwento nya sa akin, pero natatandaan ko kung gaano ka-impassioned ang Propesor habang nagbabahagi ng partisipasyon nya; partisipasyon nila.
Medyo maswerte pala ako nun kasi natsambahan kong good mood sya. Sa pagdaan ng panahon, malalaman kong may "moods" pala ang Sir Monico. Pero nasa moda man syang nagsusungit, hindi nakakalimot ang butihing matanda na mangamusta. Hindi rin sya nagsasawang magpaliwanag. Isa si Sir Monico sa pinakamagaling at pinakamabuting guro na nakilala ko.
Hindi man lang ako makakapunta sa burol nya. :(
Nasan man sya ngayon, may he rest in peace.

the start of the housekeeping adventure
Earlier today, the boss took me to the discount store to buy some curtains and a fold-up bed. My first ever curtains -- fascinating! :p
Because I was feeling girly, I chose the ones in old rose (not the yellows, the blues or the whites -- since it's my house, gotta have a little tinge of pink, bebe!) I'm planning to make my small room a total chick unit. haha.
Homesickness aside, I'm really excited to live on my own. Maybe I will discover a Martha Stewart lurking within me.
;)
Learning to do housework is actually one of the reasons why I wanted to work and live overseas. My bestfriends and boyfriend know how hopeless I am when it comes to taking care of myself - I can't cook to save my life (case in point: I managed to turn kropek into charcoal and pancakes into something my usually matakaw lil' bro just won't touch) and I'm a total slob; totally hopeless when it comes to keeping my room spic-and-span (um...i have too much papers and readings, like those Kom 2 readings from 2001 or Philippine Art readings from 2002. They might come in handy, you know).
So I'm kinda hoping my pink curtains bring salvation. Lately, I've managed to fry edible porkchops and fried chicken - something my lil' bro ate and actually found yummy. Oh, and I've mastered the art of making French Toasts, too. Look Marco, I'm cooking! :p
Next stop: getting acquainted with the washing machine and making nice Mr. Vacuum.
(pictures to come soon!)

Learning to do housework is actually one of the reasons why I wanted to work and live overseas. My bestfriends and boyfriend know how hopeless I am when it comes to taking care of myself - I can't cook to save my life (case in point: I managed to turn kropek into charcoal and pancakes into something my usually matakaw lil' bro just won't touch) and I'm a total slob; totally hopeless when it comes to keeping my room spic-and-span (um...i have too much papers and readings, like those Kom 2 readings from 2001 or Philippine Art readings from 2002. They might come in handy, you know).
So I'm kinda hoping my pink curtains bring salvation. Lately, I've managed to fry edible porkchops and fried chicken - something my lil' bro ate and actually found yummy. Oh, and I've mastered the art of making French Toasts, too. Look Marco, I'm cooking! :p
Next stop: getting acquainted with the washing machine and making nice Mr. Vacuum.
(pictures to come soon!)
the start of the housekeeping adventure
Earlier today, the boss took me to the discount store to buy some curtains and a fold-up bed. My first ever curtains -- fascinating! :p
Because I was feeling girly, I chose the ones in old rose (not the yellows, the blues or the whites -- since it's my house, gotta have a little tinge of pink, bebe!) I'm planning to make my small room a total chick unit. haha.

my high school boys
Boys i stalked on TV
Griffin, Party of Five (circa 1996)
Played by Jeremy London, Griffin was the high school rebel who fell for Neve's character. Or was he an OFY? ...I no longer remember the specifics of that drama, but when I think of Po5, I think of Jeremy London. Oh, that puppy-eyed stare, checkered polo and irresistible sensitivity.
(what girl from the 90s didn't like sensitive in her boy?)
Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars
V. Mars' epic love. Logan was rich, (secretly) nice, had a sinister smile, and was witty and charming.
If I was Veronica, I'd get scared too. (and therefore, also plant tracking devices on the boy's car)

High school fantasies won't be complete without a varsity player. (haha) So here he is, the requisite basketball athlete. But of course, Luke (played by Chad Michael Murray) is not only cute. He's also (drumroll, please) sensitive.

what would you choose?
a. "get a second shot at childhood -- everything will be brand spanking new." There'll be winter, autumn and spring. Sashimi can be bought off the supah. You'll be drinking tea (for health) and going to bathhouses (for vanity).
b. "go back and come home to me."
