Christmas Party at Aileen's

It's 5 days before Christmas and SIRENS had a Christmas party at Aileen's place down at Paranaque. Her house is pretty nice, reminds me a lot of Miri. It's a pot-luck, so that was really cool too. I did the Malaysian thing and brought cake. *grins* Swiss white chocolate, from this place near La Salle called Becky's Kitchen. Really good cakes, I must say. Let the calories roll. Ahaha..


^ Some of the Sirens dancers.


^ The resident twins, Jane and Joyce. Or Joyce and Jane. I'm not sure which is which, to be honest.


^ Everyone knows I'm an alcohol sissy, so my one and only shot of the night was worthy of a Kodak-moment. *tear* LOL.


^ Some of the Sirens again.


^ Aileen and I trying to catch each other taking pictures.


^ Red, Irish, and Mark having a serious discussion about wasabe.

Unfortunately, people who are really full with food and with friends tend to try out really insane things. For this party, it's TWISTER. *shakes head* Oh my goodness..


^ Getting ready to twist.


^ That's one messy twister. Aileen's decided it's better to go over everyone. Hey, anything for victory right? LOL. If a pile-up looks bad..


^ That is infinitely much worse. Thank God I do not play this game. *whew*

After Twister.. people get bored. So what do you do? You contemplate a new game of course. *grins* Red and Evelyn, wondering how spicy, really, is fresh wasabe..


^ Red and Evelyn checking the wasabe while Michie prepares the wasabe sauce. For what? I don't quite know actually.


^ No turning back now..


^ That can't be a good feeling. Red's sweating, and Eve's, well, red.

After the wasabe challenge, it's time for more Twister. For the uncomfortable position of the night, Evelyn wins the prize with this scandalous position.


^ *sigh* Twister is an evil game.

To add even more laughter to the night, something strange was stalking the kitchen floor..


^ No prizes guessing what that is.

And I got three pressies, from Charlene, Michie, and Aileen. Thanks to Michie for the shirt with the jeep (I heart jeeps) and to Aileen for the garish boxers. *smiles* Love em both! Minus 500 to Cha for the poo-toy. LOL! That was pretty thoughtful, so plus 510. Ahaha..

Great party, Sirens!

Grades Are In

School Year 2007-2008, 2nd Term, De La Salle University - Manila.

4.0 - Political Science
3.5 - Volleyball
3.0 - English Communication
3.0 - International Relations
2.0 - Anthropology
1.5 - Mathematics
1.0 - Critical Thinking

A fail is 0.0, and the highest grade possible is 4.0.

As you can see, I just passed Critical Thinking, and it is such a shame. A shame since I have already learned Critical Thinking back in Prime, and my own mother teaches the subject, not to mention I've already attained such a good grade for it back in A-Levels. Unfortunately, I did not go for the option presented by my professor, which was to buy 100 extra points (possibly giving me a 2.0 or better) with "500 bucks worth of donations". I'm sorry Mister, but I was never raised to buy grades so..

You can take your shoe and slap yourself on the face with it.
Now go make me a sandwich.

As for Math, thank you, my 'team', for not doing your part and making me scratch up an entire team's work in 2 days. Obviously, you assholes just want a 1.0 when I want a 2.5 or better. Next term, thank God I won't be in your classes anymore, and you can all have fun looking for a responsible team member. Good luck with your studies, morons.

Grades are okay I suppose, but no Dean's List. Minimum grade should be 2.0.
I'll try again next term.

PS. Damn, I didn't know I'm a bit of a kick ass in volleyball. *grins* That's a highlight.

Say Goodbye

Chris Brown - Say Goodbye

Look we gotta talk
Dang I know
I know it's just
It's just...
Some things I gotta get of my chest alright..
Yeah..
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, whoa..
Listen..

Baby come here and sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you,
But you know, this thing ain't been
No walk in the park for us
I swear it'll only take a minute
You'll understand when I finish, yeah
And I don't wanna see you cry
But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out my head
So I'ma do the best I can to get you to understand
'cause I know

There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you, it's me
I kinda gotta figure out what I need (oh)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

Girl I know your heart is breaking
And a thousand times I
Found myself asking, "Why? Why?"
Why am I taking so long to say this?
But trust me, girl I never
Meant to crush your world
And I never
Thought I would see the day we grew apart
And I wanna know

How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Girl I hope you understand
What I'm tryna say.
We just can't go on
Pretending that we get along
Girl how you not gonna see it?

There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I kinda gotta figure out what I need (oh)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
I, I just can't do it
Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
And sometimes it makes me wanna cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Do you hear me crying?
Oh, oh, oh

There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I kinda gotta figure out what I need (oh)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

Dammit.

Skittlez at Dagupan Astrodome

Event:
Children of the Future Foundation

Performers:
Kundirana (La Salle Green Hills)
Skittlez Crew (De La Salle University Manila + College of St. Benilde)

At Dagupan Astrodome

So here's the deal. The Skittlez Crew has been invited to perform for the Kundirana (a vocal group of 10 dudes from LSGH) concert, to benefit the kids of a small, quaint city of Dagupan. Given that I had four days to learn an entire choreo, I think I did pretty good for myself. The crew did well, and even though we were as tired as hell, it was good to know that we did it for a good cause. Aside from that, we were fully sponsored by La Salle alumni, and we did not have to spend a single cent on anything.

Awesome.


^ The beach.

Sweaty rehearsals.





After the show..







Chyeah!

UFC 3 Last Battle

Bboy ICE from Mapua Breakers (white shirt) teams up with Bboy Sirc (blue hoodie) of Southside New Breed against Bboy Gillen (yellow shirt) of D-Jimon and Bboy Baet (red shirt) of Cash Crew.

UFC 3

Ultimate Floormaster's Championship 3

So yeah, why would I be coming to a pure breakdance event (knowing I've stopped since 2003 due to an unfortunate injury)? To support my boys and girls from Southside New Breed of course! The night started super slow.. But once it gained momentum.. I got 3 letters for ya: O.M.G.


^ Caution. Not battling, piss off.


^ The battle ground.


^ A Skittle and all Southside New Breed.


^ With Drew, Nica, and Maicah of New Breed.


^ What an honor. With Jmastah, the pioneer of breakdance in the Philippines. We both have the same nickname, so it's a little confusing when we're together and someone calls out "Jay". LOL.


^ With Bboy ICE. His moves are damn sick. There was a battle where he did SIX poses in one combo, and I was screaming like a stuck pig. Well, the whole crowd was.


^ Drew and I caught mocking Nica in "Ice! Isa pa?" *laughs*


^ With DX. And he's being DX.


^ Southside New Breed Crew. The back: Maicah, DX, Joey, Drew, Cris. Front: Casey and Lane.

One heck of a show.
