          Yay, my hair is growing back! Well, I just noticed today, when I took a bath. Well, it feels really good, because I’m not really used in sporting short hairdo. But I don’t really remember why I chopped it. All I could remember is seeing a pair of sharp scissors before finding wet hair all over the floor….

         And one day, my mom decided to bring me to a salon, wherein, she believes, we can find someone to help me with my hair. But she was wrong. The salon people ruined my hair. Well, it’s my fault, anyway. I ruined my own hair, because it’s me who cut it in the first place. They’re trying to fix it, but they just made it shorter. Crap. My mom was so pissed that she almost didn’t pay for it. Haha.

        Then, few months after, it’s still short, but it’s better now. No splits. Yay. It’s in the hibernation stage, and I’m taking care of it my using conditioner. Mom told me to use conditioner before, but I was skeptic. I said, my hair would be fine, it’s always great, anyway, but then I started losing it, and I blamed the water. Good thing I finally used it.

        Last time, we lost 170 bucks in fairwoods. You know, we bet and we lost the game. You know why? Because we’re pretty unlucky because Charles wasn’t around. We never lose a game if Charles is present. He’s the best vball player I’ve ever know, I swear. Very versatile, elastic (I promise!!) and strong.

         I’m not saying that my team sucks. We’re all good players. The problem is, we’re not confident with Charles. He’s my vball hero, next to Krissie. Haha.

        The next, I had a hard time getting up, after playing so hard and losing big time. I had to wake up early in order to fo Lakeside for drug testing. You know, it’s a requirement in my new company.

       I saw Mia and Chen, with there friend, Jen, in the station. We made it just in time for our drug test. Xray came first before my drug test. I didn’t fill up the 60 ml bottle, so I had to wait for another batch of pee. Jeez, why don’t they just fill the bottle so that it would be easier for all of us? Well, the nurse said that it’s required by the Department of Health. Dang. Haha

       So, in order to pee right away, I drank almost a gallon of water. I nearly vomitted, thank goodness, I didn’t. When I peed, it was so clear. I mean, if you put it in a glass, nobody would suspect that it’s my pee. Its color is way far from the first sample. Better for me, I guess. I was cleansed up.

     I went home right away, and I pee, for like, every 40 minutes. Until now. Haha. In the van, I ate white corn, which is my favorite, if you ask me. I got home, and attempted to eat the “santols” mom bought, I couldn’t take it. Those are very sour.

      The other, while me and my brothers were having breakfast, I asked my mom why she bought santols, because she doesn’t usually buy such fruit. She said, “I bought because the vendor told me that his santols are sweet.”

       I was like, “OMG?!! And you believed that crap?” My fratelli laughed also, because they think it was funny. You know, what kind of vendor would say that the fruits he’s selling don’t taste good? Yeah, the stupid ones. And mom just laughed at it. Well, until now, the santols were still inside the fridge.

       I gotta go now, because I have a game this evening at Fairwood, and I have a lot of things to do. More later.

         Okay, I finally had time for this. I hadn’t been here for some time because I’m so busy, and there’s nothing really worth telling here.

        First of all, I’ll be starting in a new company again, but in a different position this time.

        I spend most of time in englishbaby.com, wherein I can talk with my friends. It’s just like a chatroom, but the regular chatters are treated differently from the new ones. I’m one of the regulars, so I have many friends, and for me, it’s really rewarding.

      I had lunch with the two of my friends from ebaby yesterday. Well, yesterday’s the first time we met, but it felt like we’ve known each other for years.

      Jahnize and Bizz were like my bestfriends in ebaby. I call them “Mares”. Both of them are pretty petite, just like a typical Pinay. We ate in Greenwich and went to Bizz’ place after.

      Bizz is married and has on child. Her husband is out of the country. Her baby is seven months old, and very cute. Except for Sam, that’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen in my whole life. We didn’t really do much activities, we just talked and took pictures of ourselves.

      I went home after my rendezvous with my mares. When I got home, Carl was here. I’m starting to appreciate the blessings of having brothers. Before, you know, we used to fight a lot, but now, it’s very different. We understand eac other now.

      I ate dinner with my brothers and went online right after. I attempted to write something in here, but I was so distracted. You know, my friends in ebaby were telling me how their day went. Of course, I’m interested with their lives because they are my friends, so I was obligated to chat with them.

       I was up until wee hours, listening to all of their tirades, especially Bahadir’s.

       I finally went to bed when I thought I had enough.

       And today, I woke up with chaos around me. Lots of things to do, to accomplish and to prepare. My fratelli were preparing for school. I ate breakfast with them and started straightening the house. No work today, so I gotta finish all the things around here. I statrted with the kitchen, prepared the laundry, scrubbed the bathroom- this time, I’m not wearing my yellow green sun dress- brushed the carpet and all. The boys left and I was left all alone so I listened to some music.

       I took a bath while listening to Step Up soundtrack. I was brushing the carpet when Josh Groban’s “Lullaby” played, and I don’t know why, tears streamed down my face. At first, the tears were demure; then, it broke down to big, massive sobs… I miss my dad. Really. I rareky admit it to myself. It’s been two years now since he passed, and I’m missing him so much. I don’t know why the song made me cry, I swear.

Yes I will sing this lullaby

    I mean, I should’ve move on by now. Maybe, I’m just missing him so much. I hope to see my dad again someday. And writing here, I’m in tears, just like when I was brushing the carpet. Well, I guess, he’s just around here, invisible, watching my mom, me, and the two boys. He must be proud because the boys are doing great in school, and his little princess is now grown up, working already. He must be amazed that the boys are now taller than me, and mom cooks different kind of food for us, like what he used to do when he’s here.

        I wish I had the chance to tell how much I love him. That’s the thing I regretted. I never told my dad how much he means to me, to us. But I know he’s looking after us….

        At last, after having a long, depressing and very busy weeks, I finally bounced back to reality. But you know, I dread all over the fact that I’m growing up. I’m scared of it. No, haha, not really growing up, because when you look at me, I’ve grown up  too much already. I guess the right term is “grow old”.

        You know, I’ll be leaving the teenagehood soon. I don’t want that to happen. You wanna know why? Because I won’t be a prodigy anymore. I’m afraid that I’m not going to be always the youngest who make it. Crap.

        By the way, after eTelecare crushed my confidence by rejecting me because I’m still a student, I finally recovered and made it again. Yeah, you know, snatched a job in FIrst Source Solutions. It’s not that big compared from where I came from, but at least, I have a new source of income.

      That day when I applied, I woke up in the morning, very confident that I would make it. I went to my destination, and guess what, I nailed it. I’m actually starting on July 3.

       I made friends with a lot of people, and I’m becoming more confident with my oral communication skills. Thank God.

      And it was just yesterday,  when I went to First Source to submit my LOI, I saw Pau on my way in. I saw him on the elevator, and I was like, “Oh, it’s you! What are you doing here?” He hushed me down, and he was like, “Shh, shh!” I talked with my friends, and he got away. It’s the last place I expect to see him you know, in a lowly call center.

       What’s most depressing is the fact that Lakers lost in game six, leaving the Celtics as champions. Dimmit, I cried for them. You know, grieved with Kobe.

       And finally, my ebaby pals are gonna meet me on martedi. I’m excited…

         Yes! Lakers made it! Barely…

         Well, we need to head back to Boston, because LA Lakers managed to extend the NBA FInals, beating the Boston Celtics with score of 103-98.

        Kobe Bryant, of course, was again the lead scorer for the winning team, with 25 points (consisted of few three-pointers, a dunk and an allioop), followed by Lamar Odom with 20 points and Pau “The Spaniard” Gasol, with 19 points.

       The Lakers had a good headstart, scoring off 39 to 22, a 17-point lead, during the first quarter.

       But the Celtics made it difficult for the Lakers to win by solidifying their already hard-to-penetrate defense. Paul Pierce, who scored 38 points, led his team mates to close the lead, and they almost got it during the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Fortunately, they did not.

       While watching the game, I was praying for the Lakers, you know. Because they started good during their last game, but the Celtics ended up winning. Extra prayer works, that’s all I can say. I cheer for Lakers because of Sasha, you know. I was a fan of him since he entered NBA.

        But, what’s up with the hair?

          Crap. Lakers lost again. Kobe, can’t do you anything about it? Please.

         I woke very early this morning. Mom was off from work, and she helped me do the laundry. It was finished before Make Me a Supermodel reruns. Wow.

         I watched the reruns. It’s he second time that someone complimented mon Casey Skinner’s beautiful face. I agree. That boy surely have a beautiful face. But the thing is, he’s just a beautiful face. He’s awful in catwalk and unable to manifest his emotions in the photos. But sometimes, he got it right.

         But I caught a glimpse of NBA Finals Game 4. Wow. Los Angeles Lakers started good, and their lead stayed until the third quarter. Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom were the lead scorers for the firs quarter, outscoring superstar, Kobe Bryant, and the love of my life Sasha Vujacic. Haha.

        The Boston Celtics’ leading scorers were Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. I think Rondo is cute, too.

        Well, I’ve witnessed few slamdunks, including the inevitable travelling violation of someone from the Lakers. I forgot the name, but I’m definitely sure thta it’s not Kobe Bryant. You know, he was careful now, since he got a call for a travelling violation on Game 3.

        I think that this is also Sasha’s worst game, because aside from the 3 points he contributed to the team during the first quarter, he made nothing. Also, the hairstyle sucks. Everybody in the Lakers contirubuted a point or two, except for Turiaf, who was so stupid, if you ask me. You know, Turiaf was a big dude, but can’t defend his post from KG.

        The Celtics remained the underdogs until the third quarter. They made a comeback on the fourth quarter by solidifying their defense, and did double efforts to make points. But it’s a bad day for Perkins, because someone hit him hard in the shoulder; so hard that it jammed. I don’t really remember who’s the culprit (fish memory here, haha), but I think it’s Lamar Odom.

         The Lakers messed up with their game and panicked; the players started committing fouls, which could be converted into free throws. Kobe lost his temper; instead of helping him rage on and score more, it worsened his defense. 

        And from what I heard during the halftime (in the dug-out), Celtic Paul Pierce requested to guard Kobe. I was like, “Are you kidding?” Well, I guess, he’s confident that he can handle Kobe, and the outcome had been great. You know, they nailed it.

        It really broke my heart to see the Lakers lose. You know. I’m a big Kobe-fan. I also noticed that Sasha played dirty. Very, very dirty. Just like me. Haha. He was caught on camera, trapping someone’s foot by twisting his own feet. But me, I do it a little different, in an unobvious way. I do shoving when nobody is looking.

          The game ended with score of 97-91 in favor of the Celtics. Dimmit.

          By the way, I saw Jack Nicholson and Will Smith. Mr. Smith was with his beautiful wife.

         It’s Independence Day out here in my place. By the way, we share the same ocassion with Russia.

         There’s nothing special about that, if you ask me, because it’s not a holiday. You know, our dear president moved the holiday on June 9, last Monday. Oh crap, what’s the point of having a holiday we don’t celebrate it on its date?

        I was up early because I have to bring something to my aunt’s house. When I got back, my Aunt Rebecce was with me. She went with me because she’s gonna use te internet here. You know, the computer at her place is down with the sickness. Haha.

        I didn’t practice piano, because she’s contradicting everything I do, and I don’t really know why. I just turned the television on and started watching EUROCUP, which I don’t usually do. Well, it’s a prety good game between Russia and Spain. Of course I’m on Spain’s side, because they had more goodlooking players than Russia.

        By the way, this is the line-up of Spain:

#1 Iker Casillas- Goal Keeper, Real Madrid

#4 Carlos Marchena, Defender, Valencia

#5 Carles Puyol, Defender, Bartcelona

#11 Joan Capdevila, Defender, Villareal

#9 Fernando Torres, Forward, Liverpool

#7 David Villa, Forward, Valencia

#15 Sergio Ramos, Defender, Real Madrid

#8 Xavi Hernandez, Midfielder, Barcelona

#6 Andres Iniesta, Midfielder, Barcelona

#19 Marcos Senna, Midfielder, Villareal

#21 David Silva, Midfielder, Valencia

          And this is the line-up of Russia:

#1 Igor Akinfeev, Goalkeeper, CSKA Moscow

#22 Aleksandr Anyukov, Defender, Zenit St. Petersburg

#18 Yuri Zhirkov, Midfielder, CSKA Moscow

#8 Denis Kolodin, Defender, Dynamic Moscow

#14 Roman Shirokov, Midfielder, Zenit St. Petersburg

#7 Dmitri Torbinsky, Midfielder, Lokomotiv Moscow

#63 Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Midfielder, Lokomotiv Russia

#4 Sergei Ignashevich, Defender, CSKA Moscow

Viacheslav Malafeev, Goalkeeper, Zenit St. Pertersburg

#10 Roman Pavlyuchenko, Forward, Spartak Moscow

#13 Ivan Saenko, Forward, Numberg

#7 Sergei Semak, Midfielder, Rubin Kazan

        See what I mean? Spain has more hotties.

        About the game; Spain had a solid defense that Russia could not penetrate, although they have great ace players like Pavlyuchenko and Torbinsky.

       The game ended with a score of 4-1 in favor of Spain.

       Gosh, I weigh more than these dudes…..

          Well, I’m all alone here in the house, because my mom and fratelli went shopping. I didn’t come with them because I hae nothing to buy at the mall, really. And besides, those boys are impatient when it comes to shopping.

         Yesterday, I went to church. Surprising, right? Haha. Well, I didn’t plan that, and it’s really against my will. What happened was I was taken to churc without me, knowing it. Here’s how it happened:

         I was peacefully sleeping on my bedroom. The phone rang. It’s very unusual for all of us to have a phone call that early, because we’re all late sleepers. Mom answered it, and it’s for me. It’s my Aunt Rebecca, and she’s taking me somewhere to meet someone.

         Actually, I didn’t really know who are we gonna meet. I just went with her because I’m interested in her business proposal. But now, not anymore, because she’s exaggerated, and I know that she’s exaggerating things again to hook me up into something.

        I just realized that we’re going to attend a service, when we’re almost there. Geez, what have I done?

       I’m not the religious type, but more of a spiritual. Of course, I believe in God, but taking it somewhere public is a different thing.

        Okay, we did attend the service. I heard a sermon, which was topsy-turvy, and the message wasn’t clear. I didn’t get it. Unfortunately for me, or for both of us, the person we went there for didn’t show up.

          After attending church, which I haven’t done for a very long time already, we went to SM Dasma. Gosh, it was a hot day for a shopping, but I went with my aunt, anyway.

         We had lasagna, garlic bread, rice and fried chicken for lunch. I wasn’t aware that the lasagna had beef in it, so my tummy started to churn. You know, my system is not used of taking beef, because, technically, I don’t really eat beef, or any beef-flavored food.

          We were in CDR-King when I finally realized that I had to poop. Seriously. We have to hurry home, thank God.

         And what’s more embarassing aside from having an aunt as a shopping companion was that I slipped in the stairs. Gawrsh. We could’ve avoided the whole humiliating scene if we took the escalator instead of the stairs. Well, I did my best to convince her that I couldn’t really walk straight because of the intense volleyball game I had night before the incident. You know, we forgot to do the warm-up routine.

           We went home after that. I stayed home for the rest of the day and finished the CD Chyna ordered. But I guess, I missed my deadline, and Chyna showed up with Yang. I let them watch while I trandfered the songs to the CD.

          The day I was chucked out of the company, I sort of sulked inside the house. I did nothing but to eat, sleep, play piano and watch television.

          i watched “Like Mike” Saturday evening. I never liked that movie, and it didn’t really capture my attention. But there’s nothing to watch that night; we’ve ran out of DVD tapes, so I shut down my PC and sat in front of tv to watch.

         Actually, I missed the part wherein Calvin (played by Bow wow) and his friends, who all live in an orphanage, found the old pair of shoes with initials “M.J.” on it. He tried it on, and had unbelievable (and impossible) basketball powers.

         Calvin had a chance to play in NBA and go against the superstars like Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson and many more. He and his team mate, Tracey sort of bonded, just like father and son. Despite the fame and money he has, all Calvin wanted was a family. Or a dad, to be exact.

       There were so many cameo appearances of NBA Superstars like T Mac, Alonzo Mourning (whoa, last name sucks), Gary Payton, Rasheed Wallace, and many more. i loved the part where Dirk asked for Calvin’s autograph. I was like, “Wow, it will surely feel great when your idol or someone famous asks for my autograph.”

         Now that Calvin’s famous, people were suddenly interested in adopting him. Tracy soon realized that he wanted Calvin as a son. Calvin told his team mates during the finals that his basketball powers came from the beaten and worn-out shoes, which was now ruined.

         They won the game, but Calvin couldn’t play anymore, because the shoes were ruined. The movie ended as Tracey adopts Calvin and is bestfriend, Murph.

        Wow. The movie was fantastic. The movie stick with the basic, and it’s for the whole family. Bow Wow (Lil Bow wow then) made a good job. He’s a natural and used his eyes for acting. But of course, in reality, they won’t allow children to play in NBA, even if they’re that good. What, do you think that a fourteen year-old can survive if Shaq crash on him? Unless that fourteen year-old is one full hell of a six-footer, maybe, he can.

         I give 9 stars out of 10. Good job.

           The next day, I woke up, still feeling sour. Maybe, because of the fresh, unbrushed morning breath. I hit hard the keys of my piano, all day. It sucks. Hello, I’m only a teen, and I should be worrying about everything under this roof. But I guess, nobody’s there to look after me. Nobody cares about me. That’s the truth. When I accomplish something, people are always calling, asking for advice, but when I lose, nobody cares about me. Thanks, I feel very fine. Haha.

          That night, i just watch movies while pulling out my plan. I finished “Jeepers’ Creeper’s”, which really sucks, if you ask me, by the way. I love “Princess Diaries”!

         Man, the movie was so far from the book. In the movie, Mia Thermopolis lives in San Francisco, while in the book, she’s in Manhattan, New York. Here’s the difference between the book and the movie:

                   THE BOOK                                     versus                           THE MOVIE

- Mia’s real name is “Amelia Mignonette         while        - her real name is “Amelia Mignonette   
   Thermopolis Grimaldi Renaldo”                                       Thermopolis Renaldi”

- She lives in Manhattan, New York                while         – she lives in San Francisco

_ She’s very tall and very skinny                     while         – She’s nerdy, but beautiful

- Her Mom’s boyfriend’s name                       while         - his name is Patrick O’Connell
   (and Algebra teacher) is Frank GIanini

- Her archenemy’s name is Lana Weinberger  while         – her name is Lana Johnson

- Her archenemy’s boyfriend’s                       while         – his name is Josh Bryant
  name is Josh Richter

- Her bestfriend’s boyfriends name               while        – Jeremiah Hart, and a computer genius
  is Boris Pelkowski. He is a violinist.

- Her dad, Philip Renaldo is still alive           while        – he’s already dead.

- Her grandmother aka. Grandmere is evil   while         – she’s sugar, spice and everything nice.

           I’ve been a fan of Princess Diaries (both book and movie), since I was a little girl. But don’t think that I got the idea of writing in a diary in that movie. I was writing already before the book was written, and the film produced.

           Anyway, Robert Schwartzman was fit for his role (Michael Moscovitz). You know, not the stereotype jock, but geeky, more likely. Anne Hathaway was the best for the role, and I can’t think of any other actress who could play the role better. I can’t imagine Lindsay or Paris portraying the perky and geeky personality of Mia Thermopolis.

          I noticed that Tina Hakim Baba was not in the movie. She’s in the second movie, but had a different name. Her name was Asana, who was played by Raven Symone. Wow, Disney never got it right.

         Despite of all the confusions that Disney gave the viewers and readers, the movie is still worthy to get 7 stars out of 10.

        Last martedi, I set out to hunt for a job. I started with Convergys, another call center agency, and according from what I’ve heard, it’s one of the leading customer service agency.

       I met this pretty girl at Convergys. I arrived at the ofice around ten in the morning, and I sat in the applicants’ lobby. I was sitting on the couch, and this girl I’m talking about came, and sat in the farthest corner of the lobby. I transferred next to her, and she smiled at me. She was indeed pretty.

         I was combing my one full heck of straw hair when she approached me and borrowed a pen from me. I lent her my pen, and I introduced myself. She was surprised when she heard my name, because we have the same name. Wow. And we’re both nineteen and big, ala Jordin Sparks. Kidding.

         We talked as if we knew each other for a very long time already, and she was really, really nice. She went up first for the interiew, and she made ir. Unfortunately, I ddin’t make it. But I didn’t feel depressed, because I was immune, I think. Haha.

        We had lunch together, and we went back for her final interiew. I left her in Convergys because I have to go somewhere else. I applied in telecare, and that’s the easiest interview I’ve ever experienced. It’s not that the interviewer was stupid, but I felt so confident. It’s just like volleyball, the good service is all in the matter of confidence.

         I made friends with some few people, and I was prettty perky that time, I could say. I don’t know why, but maybe, it’s the effect of depression. Haha. There’s this French dude who was always rejected by all call center agencies. Wow, it is really hard for him.

        I was scheduled for the exam the next day, and I passed it also. But they found out that I’m not done yet with school. For God’s sake, I’m only nineteen. Whoa, I almot got hired. I just went home. Sigh.

         I wasn’t able to log-in for this past week, because I’m busy with something. Yep, I’m busy with work. After the NEO, I was so sure that I’m able to earn money, now that I got in. It turned out not.

LUNEDI:

           I went early to the office. I stayed in the quiet room. When it was time, I met my colleagues at the lobby, and we went together to the venue. Besides us, there were also other trainees in th room, but they looked like they’re in the call center business for a very long time.

           The trainor arrived. Her name is Chloe, and to my estimation, she’s just 24 or something. She’s so smart, and handles herself very well. She made us choose a partner for an activitu, and I chose Grechel, because of convenience. You know, Grech was sitting next to me.

         We had an activity wherein we were given a set of interview questions that we should ask to our partners. Then, we’ll introduce our partners. Grech and i were the last pair, and I was so nervous. You know, I’m not used to speaking in front of people.

          We also had a game after lunchbreak, and my team lost. For punishment, Chloe made the winning team ask us controversial questions such as, “Are you a virgin?” or “What do you think of pre-marital sex?”. I couldn’t relate, to tell you the truth, because, I believe, I’m the youngest.

         There are no cute guys within my age. Well, there’s a cute dude, but he’s definitely mature. I mean, when he was introduced by his partner, I heard that he already have a lot of working experiences. His name is Pao, and he’s a bit chubby. He seemed to be snobbish.

Martedi:

         Second. Still adjusting. I was early in the office, so I went to the game room. I saw some people huddled in front of the big television, watching a movie. I signed in the logbook, and when I went back to the viewing area, the guy who was holding the remote turned off the television and the DVD player. Wow, good timing, movie’s over. I sat on the couch, anyway, even if there’s no movie.

          Then, after several minutes, a guy sat next to me, and the attendant played the tape he brought. Lucky me, it was “The Hottie and Nottie”, starring Paris Hilton, Joel David Moore and Christina Lakin.

          Paris plays hottie Cristabel while Christina Lakin plays her bestfriend, the nottie. Joel Moore plays the opposite, Nate Cooper.

         Nate Cooper was inlove with Cristabel since first grade, but things didn’t turn out that good for them. Fourteen years after, Nate Cooper broke up with his girlfriend, Jane. He decided to look for Cristabel. He found Cristabel in Los Angeles, by the help of his friend, Arno Blount.

        Nate arranged his meeting with Cristabel. He pretended that he just run into her while jogging. He found out that Cristabel was still single because of her bestfriend, June Phiggs. Cristabel vowed never to date anyone until June finds her “special someone”. That’s a problem for Nate, because he’s inlove with Cristabel, and he can’t date her.

        So Nate paid someone to date June, but the case was hopeless. Cole Slawson, the guy who was hired by Nate, was so disgusted with June. The funny part was when Nate hypotized Cole, in order for him to be able to stand his date with June. They went o0ut on a double date.

        During their double date, the charm wore off and Cole ran off. June was humilliated by a midget onstage, and Johann, a hot dude, took her from stage.

         Nate saw Johan as a competitor to Cristabel. He did everything to surpass Johan, but the latter seems perfect. Johan graduated from Harvard, and also a dentist slash general physician slash ex-marine. Not only that; there’s a scene where Nate brought his guitar to serenade the ladies, but ended not playing it, because Johan sang and played first. Of course, Johan made it perfect.

         Johan started giving June extreme make-overs. Nate was falling for June already, that time. After June’s final trasformation, Nate fell in-love with her, but hasn’t realized it yet, until he found out that June would sleep with Johan to return the favor.

         Nate dumped Cristabel for June, and he came on time before something happened between June and Johan that night, after the party. Nate told June you-know-what, and they ended up together.

         The story was not predictable, unlike other make-over romantic comedy movies. The protagonist, Nate Cooper, was not your typical hearthrob or jock leading man. He’s more likely the geeky type. He reminds me of Dirk Nowitzki. I really hated Paris Hilton in this movie. I mean, i hate the real Paris, and I hate her role also. Cristabel was treated like a goddess, because she’s the hottest person in whole LA. Wel, good thing, she’s not a bitch in the movie, because if she’s that perfect in real life, she’ll be bitchy.

            I don’t know what happened to Paris. Maybe, they gave her a makeover also. She’s so beautiful in the movie, and that’s not the Paris I see in Simple Life episodes. The Paris I see in Simple Life looks like a 37 year-old praying mantis, thin and bow-legged. What I like about her character is that even if se’s beautiful, she’s nice. I mean, if there’s a real person who is gorgeous as that, that person is bitchy, or snobbish, for sure.

           June Phigg’s character is an exaggeration. There’s no person in the whole world who is ugly as that. I mean, come on, God can be cruel sometimes, but I don’t believe that He’d be that cruel to someone.

         Johan was male counterpart of Cristabel, and he was also kind too.

         All in all, I think the movie was great; it has a satisfying ending, and it’s not that cheesy. You’ll love the movie, even if you are anti-Paris Hilton. I give 9 stars out of ten.

MERCOLEDI:

        Still not passing any test yet. Started worrying. But nonetheless, still enjoyed the day. Met Jeff on my way out of the training room. Dropped by at the HCD office to pass some requirements. Learned that the intimidating people were actually nice, after all. Noticed that Pao’s eyes were beautiful.

GIOVEDI:

        Confrmed that the eviction rumors were true. Messed up with everything, because of nervousness, but got good feedbacks on the call simulation. But still messed up on the retake. Started to get along with the intimidating people.

VENERDI:

         My faith and patience had been tested. First, I tried everything to pass the ACE Final Exam. Geez, am I such a bad person to deserve that? Well, I’m sure that I based my answers in pure logic, and I sweat, I didn’t just go meeni-meeni-miny-mo on my answers. Yet, I flunked it. Second, my throat had dried up because of practicing call sim. Man, that’s whacked. Despite of my doubled-up (or even tripled) efforts, I still flunked it.

         Before Chloe announced the evictees, she made us do a fun activity first. It’s called, “multiplt choice”. Everyone gave four facts about him/herself, and we would choose what’s not true. Some people gave interesting facts about them, some gave controversial, but me, I stick to the safe side. Here are the facts I gave:

a.) I’m obssesive-compulsive

b.) I’m a vegetarian

c.) I’m tempramental

d.) I don’t beef

          Alright, even though I’m a boring person, they all got confused. Everybody chose C as the false statement, because, according to Glenn (one of the QAs), I’m very patient. Whoa. I almost hurled when I heard somebody that I’m a sweet-tempered girl. Another whoa. Okay, first of all, I’m really a tempramental person. I hate waiting, especially for the things which are not worth waiting for. Duh, they just didn’t see me having a fit. I kick chairs, or anything there is to kick and crush anything there is to crush (and throw it to someone)  when I get really mad.

          Yankee brought a camera, and we took pictures. I took the Yankee’s and the girls’ email addresses, but I left those people who looked like they don’t want to give their email address. Bah.

          Somehow, I really felt it that it was time for me to go. Everything was a blur. Then, I remembered Glenn, saying “If it’s not for me, then, it’s not for me” to  Shane. After some words of encouragement (or consolation), Chloe did it. Wow. She did it in a nice way, but reality was hars on me. I wanted to cry, but there were no tears coming out. I felt so bad, even though I couldn’t believe. Wow. Anyway, Glenn had been very nice also, and he said something, but i forgot. It’s about being lucky, I guess. I totally forgot. I thanked everyone and I left right away.

          I really felt bad. There’s no job, no school, and volleyball (or basketball) for me. Is there anything else could be possibly worse that that?

         On the jeep, Yankee sat next to me. He wasn’t talking to me or looking at me, until I asked him, “Where do you live?” He looked at me, very surprised, and replied, “Oh, it’s you. I didn’t notice you,” and answered my question.  Maybe, I’m difficult to recognize during the day. God, it’s so embarassing. He might have a good view of my pimples. By the way, we didn’t talk that much, because I still find him intimidating, although he’s very nice. And I’m not also the type of person who chats with the person next to me in vehicles, even if I know them.

          I was feeling the heat and smell of sweat in the vehicle as I thought of everything. I learned a lesson. Not just a lesson, but “lessons”. I learned that I will not always be the winner. Sometimes, I got to lose too. I learned that I won’t get what I wanted on the first try. I learned to be patient; if it’s for me, then, it’s for me. I tried my best; I worked hard for it, and I really wanted it badly. It’s against all odds, because, first of all, I’m young; the youngest, I believe. Second, I’m inexperienced. Third, it’s my first try. Fourth, I’m an undergrad. Fifth, I’m orally challenged. I swear, I’ve done my best.

          Well, it’s one of the hardest, but most memorable experience in my whole life. I’ve been with the most intelligent people I’ve ever met, and I learned a lot from the crash course. I’ve done my best. It’s just like volleyball; the first service in your whole life is a disaster. Haha. Like what happened to me during my highschool sophomore year. The next services and games are improving.

         But, I’m still wondering what God wants for me. I haven’t figure it out.  I need a sign….
