12:10 PM I'm leaving for Bacolod City in a few hours and will be there all week. I don't think I'll have Internet access while there, so I won't be able to blog. Rest assured, I will be keeping journal entries, and I'll be back on Sunday to tell all. Ü Right now I have packer's anxiety: I wonder if I missed anything when I packed? Some bare essential that I can't live without? It's strange because my sister has more baggage than I do, in terms of both clothes and shoes. Wish me luck. I hate it when I forget stuff.

09:26 AM Yesterday was my friend Julia's birthday. Happy 19th Birthday Julia! Yesterday, my sister and I were left to fend for ourselves at Shangri-La Mall so we could buy some stuff, including Julia's gift. I was able to get myself a pair of Nikes! Ü They are my first pair ever, and were bought with the money I got for graduation. We also got Julia a nice inspirational book, since Julia's throwing her party today and we didn't want to get stuck in the lurch with no gift in hand. How embarrassing.

Anyway, today is the one and only break I have in my busy social schedule. Hehe. Tomorrow is another packed day, and Saturday my sister and I are flying out to Bacolod to spend a whole week with our relatives there. My parents will be joining us later in the week, and then we're flying home together next Sunday.

09:46 PM This morning, I won a prize from Magic 89.9 for texting in the quickest answer on what the name of Destiny's Child's third album is. The answer was "Survivor", and I win a gift pack and free tickets to lots of events. I would have been entered into a raffle for tickets to a Destiny's Child concert in Australia, but I don't have a passport and visa. Ü

03:43 PM I just got back from swimming all day at our local pool. Anyway, here's something I just want to show: it's my sister and me at the general commencement exercises last Sunday, where UP President Francisco Nemenzo conferred on me (and a few hundred of my batchmates campus-wide) my degree. Ü

07:33 PM I'm here at my cousin David's house, surfing on his unlimited cable access. I was over at TheOneRing.net's IRC chat many times today, using the nick "TercanoNuruva", which means "Herald of Death" (kinda gothic, but no one else was bound to use the name); I got the nick from the lyrics to "The Prophecy" from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. I wonder how long it will take before I get to be called a regular in that chat room. Ü

Anyway, I broke my diet today, but tomorrow I resolve to be on it again. Call it falling off the low-carb wagon.

08:43 AM Yesterday was not as boring as I thought it would be. With all the wisecracking UP students in the open-air Amphitheater, how could it be? Ü I sat among my orgmates, and I didn't realize how many honor graduates we had in my org (go POLITICA!). It was a short ceremony because not all the graduates had to go up on stage--only summa cum laudes did. Magna cum laude and cum laude graduates were announced by name and stood up in their seats. There was at least one cum laude graduate whose name was not announced--my friend Princess was sitting among us, but our marshal had failed to take down her name as present.

What went wrong was that the student activists took my commencement exercises as an opportunity to politick--they went up to the front with crudely painted signs, invaded the stage, and screamed into the microphone. Of couse, no one opposed them anymore or arrested them--to do so would have given them more fodder (they could go something like "We're being oppressed!"). In any case, it was a lukewarm reception they got.

Afterwards, as my family and I were walking to our car, I saw Ma'am C. getting into her car. I just waved at her, and all of a sudden, she gets out of the car and half-runs to me. "I just wanted to congratulate you personally," she said, and gave me a bear hug. My parents came up behind me and she said, "She's very young but very bright," and then ran off, leaving us all with smiles. Ma'am C. the terror became Ma'am C. the teddy bear. Ü

07:40 AM Today's going to be hectic. I'm off to Sunday services at Glorietta 4 Cinema 6, and then back here for a quick lunch. My mom's going to get my hair and make-up together, and then off we're going to UP again for the commencement exercises. There was a road advisory posted at all major exchanges within UP that heavy traffic was to be expected. Yikes. Ü Anyway, for you Quezon City and Manila dwellers, there's not much to see, so try to avoid UP roads today.

10:39 PM Friday Five on a Saturday. Ü Been busy.

1. What's your favorite TV show and why?
   Um, I love JAG--that military court drama starring David James Elliot and Catherine Bell. I like it because a) the lead guy's cute, b) the story lines are something I haven't encountered before because the military to me has always been under a veil of sorts, and c) I'm waiting for something to happen between Harm and Mac. Ü
2. Who is your favorite television star?
   I don't exactly have a favorite television star. Maybe it's Jessica Alba, from Dark Angel. Or maybe it's Jason Behr from Roswell.
3. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
   I loved Sesame Street, but I also watched a lot of Ghostwriter. You know, "He's a ghost, and he writes to us!" Do a Google search if you don't know what I mean.
4. What show do you think should have been cancelled by now?
   Queen of Swords is the absolute worst show on AXN right now. Bad writing, bad plots, bad acting! It's in its first season on AXN, but I hope it's already been cancelled.
5. What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season?
   I don't know if Roswell's been axed already, but I really hope it hasn't been! I'm a big fan! Er, but it's not a new show.

10:19 PM Well, I'm here at my house, where I'm hosting a party for my family--it's my graduation bash! There was supposed to be a grad party somewhere after my college recognition ceremony this afternoon, but since I already have this thing (and I don't usually go out with people I don't really know anyway), I decided to forego it. I still have another ceremony to attend tomorrow where my degree will be formally conferred on me.

Selene thinks I'm going to be a politician, or even President of the Philippines (!?!). Ü Nope. It's a dirty business here in the Philippines, and I'd like to be a civilian for as long as possible--maybe even forever. I don't want to be associated with all those cronies constantly hanging around, not to mention I'd have to appease those sectors with their palms outstretched towards you because, hey, they think the president handles everything happening in the country, and if something goes wrong, the president's directly responsible for it. Besides, I don't think I was built to hold office--I never got anything done in my term as High School student council president, and even when I was elected as my college organization's Academic Committee Head I didn't have the drive to get any projects done.

That said, this degree thing has advantages. No longer will I have to say only "some college" when web page forms ask up to what educational level I've attained. Additionally, I can say that I've truly accomplished something in my life. And, best of all, I get really nifty presents from relatives. Ü My favorite one is the Bible my pastor uncle gave to me. Although I already have one (and in the same version as well), it was really touching to get something so valuable.

03:11 PM I went back to the University today to get my tickets for the college recognition tomorrow and the university commencement exercises on Sunday. We've been required to attend both ceremonies, and the college secretary warned us that failure to do so would result in them denying us our diplomas. Gasp! Shock! But then of course no one really takes that seriously, and this seeming sword of Damocles they're dangling over us is just to ensure that enough students from our college attend the commencement exercises.

In any case I'm still going because... drum roll please... I officially made it to cum laude standing! Praise God! This is such a blessing for me, and my parents and grandparents are really proud of what I've done. All I can say is how thankful I am that I survived the four maddening years of Political Science, a course I never really liked. Wow. I would have gone insane if God hadn't helped me through the rough spots, especially through last semester.

But wait! With all these qualifications I haven't even gotten a resume typed up. Hehe. Is it time for me to enter the world of webloggers who put up their curriculum vitae on their personal websites? Ü

09:39 AM Still on the subject of my new Dumas books, I can't believe that the character of the man in the iron mask is such a minor one in the original text! I mean, all the film adaptations and the abridged children's books that I've read concerning The Man in the Iron Mask have him as a pivotal character, yet only half the book concerns him as he is immediately whisked back to the Bastille once Aramis' duplicity is discovered. 'Tis too bad that the original book didn't take the course of many of the film adaptations--that is, that the pretender remained on the throne. The afterword of my edition says that the true aim of the Musketeer series was to show the decline and fall of an age of chivalry (which ironically never truly existed, says the afterword). The ideal embodied by "one for all and all for one" in The Three Musketeers fell apart as the four friends go their separate ways at the end of The Man in the Iron Mask, and their values change. Hmm... how tragic. I always thought swashbuckling epics had happy endings.

09:29 AM I'm currently reading The Three Musketeers. I bought it and The Man in the Iron Mask because I was trying to find The Count of Monte Cristo at National Bookstore and turned up only the two books. I figured, "what the heck? I don't have these books anyway" and bought them--at a 50% discount! Ü So anyway, back to what I was saying. I'm reading The Three Musketeers, and I'm almost done with it. I never knew that Dumas was part of a novel mill consisting of himself and other hacks, churning out more than 300+ titles under his name. It explains the inconsistencies within the book itself. However, I simply can't sit back and read leisurely anymore with my own interpretation of the book because I read the introduction written by someone else. It's like when I bought The Picture of Dorian Grey and read the introduction, which instantly biased my reading. My advice? Don't look at the introduction, unless it was written by the original author. Read introductions afterwards (although that completely defeats the purpose of an "introduction") and compare your personal findings to what that person writing the introduction thought of the book.

10:07 AM Okay, this is what I did last Thursday and Saturday. I went to Alabang New Life Christian Center with my sister and my aunt's family for the youth conference called "Generation 2002". I didn't know at the time what would happen there would change my life. Let's just say I'm not very willing to put trust in the teachings of any church unless I hear and experience it for myself; there are plenty of false prophets out there. I was not prepared for what I experienced there. It totally blew me away because I didn't expect to be in a room with hundreds of young people crying out to God, desiring to know Him more. It was strange; I've never felt that sort of energy before, but from their faces and from my own soul I could see that it was all real. God was in the house, and he brought with him renewal and restoration.

There was a delegation mostly made up of youth interns led by Pastor Steve Carpenter from a church called City Church, in Seattle. You know, even though they were all young, it was inspiring to see people who want to serve God by entering His ministry, and the fire burning within them was infectious. I always thought that churches in the U.S. lived up to their characterization of being "miles wide but only inches deep", meaning that they had massive memberships lists but their faith in God was not deep. From the example this delegation gave, at least now I know that some people defy that stereotype, and I'm glad I was proven wrong.

08:08 AM Lookie-lookie. The Sims are on the news. Ü Being a fan of this game as well, I admit that there are some mature things about the game--especially when you load the "Hot Date" software onto the original software. It's not for the little kiddies whose parents still shield their eyes from on-screen kisses. However, as the writer of the article says, it's non-violent. If you want your kid to stay glued to the computer screen for hours on end and ignore their own hygiene and room sliders (hehehe), buy them the Sims.

09:44 AM 13 must be an unlucky number; first, Greymatter ate my entry, then deleted me from the author file. And then, when I tried to retype this entry, I accidentally closed the window. Ü Hehe, I'm not superstitious. Still, I'm kind of peeved that I have to do this all over again. All I want to do is plug the people that have signed my guestbook or referred to me recently.

In no particular order: JM, Mikko, Macy, Tin, Josh, Benj, Jackie, Kate, Cathy, and Ricky. Thanks you guys!

And I've been recently hit by a search engine for this query. Sorry, but I don't keep his pics on this server, and my sister's the bigger fan of that former NKOTB popster. Ü

01:27 PM Friday Five! This will be the first time I'm participating in this, but it's not for lack of something else to blog. Ü

1. What is your favorite restaurant and why?
   I love Outback Restaurant (branches can be found at Glorietta and Libis) because they allow me to change the fries included in the orders to buttered vegetables, and that's just dandy for my diet!
2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to?
   I like Burger King because of the drink refills, but I adore KFC because of the chicken. Mmm.
3. What are your standards and rules for tipping?
   Is it supposed to be 10% of the total bill? If I see a service charge included in the bill, I don't tip anymore... and I'm usually pretty stingy when I do. Everything to the last centavo counted.
4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert?
   I don't order desserts because they're usually laden with sugar, and sometimes the appetizer itself becomes my meal. Ü If my family and I are dining out with another family, we do offer to get them appetizers and desserts, though.
5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant?
   I always order diet drinks, such as Diet Coke/Pepsi or Diet Sprite/7-Up, if they have any. If not, I go for the all-natural no-calorie drink: water.

07:51 AM I once had a dream. I was in school, almost graduating except for one subject for which I had forgotten to attend all classes. I was talking to my teacher, trying to get him to give me a passing grade. Suddenly he turned to me and told me I was pregnant, and as I cupped my hand to my ear, I actually heard a baby crying. I was devastated. Whose child was it? How was I supposed to graduate from college and pursue my ambitions? I woke up from that dream feeling confused. Like all my dreams, somehow it was tied to my subconscious fear of not graduating and my need to control all the circumstances of my life. I interpreted the pregnancy in the dream as symbolic of the things not planned, hence dreaded.

However, yesterday as I attended the Youth Conference at Alabang New Life Christian Center (New Life, incidentally, is one of the churches involved in the Jesus Revolution movement), something that a speaker said brought back echoes of that dream. He said, "I want you to ask the person beside you, 'How does it feel to be pregnant?'" Of course, this wasn't meant to be taken literally, but he said that within the Christian youth of the nation something--the Holy Spirit--was yearning to be brought forth and change lives.

Of course, this being "pregnant" with the Holy Spirit entails surrender. Like in my dream, I'd have to abandon myself and my ambitions and instead give myself wholly to the work God plans for me. I've already written here of what I plan to do after graduate this April 21, but those plans may or may not jive with the work God wants me to do. That work may lie in the church, in the workplace, or even back in the campus, but now I'm only sure of one thing: I must follow. Everyone has a calling, but few heed it; few surrender control of their lives to God. Last night, I did, and I found that if I am to fulfill my purpose for being, I first must seek God in His Word, in prayer, and in everything I do. That answers the question that has dogged me these past few days leading up to graduation: "What are you going to do?" My answer is, "Whatever God tells me to." For that, all I have to do is sit back and let God take control of my life.

07:54 AM Good morning! I'm going to be gone all day because I'm going to a youth summit at New Life Christian Fellowship in Alabang. Hence, I'm going to try to make a long post. Ü

Sleep was fitful last night; I mean, I kept waking up staring at the ceiling because something in a dream disturbed me. I'm not sleepy anymore, but I don't feel as rested as I want to be. There's a tightness in my chest that hasn't gone away even though I woke up from a suffocating nightmare.

But enough about nightmares. I've got to exercise!

08:31 PM Whoops... not quite there yet. But look! The date's okay now! Yippee!

Off to watch some Roswell now. 3rd season.

09:23 PM Yeah! The date's working correctly!

12:21 AM "Honey, I'm home!"

Thank God Portland pulled its act together and sent me my new password this morning! I'll be back to post some more. I just need to tweak GM a little bit. In the meantime, check out my new link: Jackie. Ü

11:32 AM Thanks to Reggie for signing my guestbook and comforting me in my troubles with Portland. Another Wedgienet hostee, Jackie, found my site as well and also signed, so thanks to them both.

Now I'm looking at some Elvish/Quenya counterparts to people's given names, and I can't find mine. I mean, "Noelle" simply means "Christmas", and I don't think that anywhere in LOTR is there a mention of something akin to Christmas, except perhaps their New Year's celebrations or their Midsummer celebrations. "Frances", on the other hand, simply means "of France", but the site says it could also mean "free", so I could take the name "Mirime" or "Lere". You know what inspired this name-searching? Someone searched for my website by typing "what is my elvish name". Ü

09:21 AM Yesterday, my parents splurged by buying our family tickets to two movies instead of one. Ü We watched The Time Machine and The Count of Monte Cristo. Did you know that these two films both star the actor Guy Pearce (of L.A. Confidential and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert)? What a coinkydink... but actually my attraction to these movies were the other actors, such as Samantha Mumba (pop singer turned movie star) and Jim Caviezel (of Frequency and Pay It Forward). The Time Machine was a pretty short movie, lasting only about an hour and thirty minutes. It made a pretty big deviation from the book of the same name by H.G. Wells, although a good one. They did make the storyline more complex, fleshed out the characters, and the effects were pretty impressive as well. Jeremy Irons as the UberMorlock was pretty gruesome, especially with those bones sticking out of his spine, foreshadowing a rack of baby back ribs I saw at Rustan's Supermarket later yesterday.

The Count of Monte Cristo was one of the best swashbuckling films I'd seen in a while, and it had real heart in it, too. Of course, being a good adaptation from a Dumas novel, that's to be expected. Jim Caviezel was great, and he gave an excellent depiction of his transformation from the guileless Edmond Dantes into the scheming Count. His performance carried the film. By the way, I noticed some similarity between The Count and El Filibusterismo's Simoun, not just because Simoun has been described as having the same facial hair and brooding look, but because they're both men who have seemingly returned from death to exact revenge. Ü Were Rizal and Dumas contemporaries, or did one influence the other? I'm very bad at history.

In any case, still on the topic, the websites of the two movies are very lavishly designed for the higher bandwidth classes. Both have only Flash interfaces (apparently, HTML is no longer enough for most movie websites), and it seems to be the fashion nowadays to include extra tidbits on movie sites, such as wallpapers, screensavers, and e-cards.

09:13 AM I watched Final Destination last night, and it was just such a mind-blowing trip that last night's nightmare was that I was trying to elude death caused by dodgeball. Yep, that's right. DODGEBALL. Pretty stupid, but in my dream I was pretty harassed because the ones throwing the killer basketballs were my friends. Ü

Both Macy and Josh have discovered this site and told me so in my guestbook. Join them and find out what you're missing! (This is a sign-my-guestbook plug, by the way)

11:05 AM I went back to school yesterday to find out if I was cleared for graduation... and I was! Although last sem's grades weren't enough to get me on the semester's College Scholar list, my running average for the entire four years I was in U.P. was good for cum laude standing. Praise God! I really thought my goose was cooked--I mean, I didn't think that I'd gotten grades high enough in previous semesters to make up for the bad sems. Ü

Anyway, I think I'll be able to move back to my old address soon. Take a look at this message thread: it may take about 5.5 days for all the new passwords to be sent, but at least they've already started to send them out. I don't think many people read this hidden blog; that's probably because no one reads my guestbook to find out where I've been posting. Oh well.

09:12 AM Well, here goes another day in exile. Ü According to this thread on Portland's Member Forum, new passwords should be generated sometime this week. Hopefully I won't grow a long white beard in that time.

How do you configure Greymatter so that when you hit the "return" key while adding a new entry, it doesn't insert "p align", but instead inserts "br"?

10:11 AM Misery loves company. At least another person aside from me is still in suspended animation, website-wise: Mela's old Bluebrat site is still down, and her Scribble journal will be shut down on May 1st. I still haven't gotten my new password from Portland, and since the email address that the password should be sent to is also going to shut down on April 20 unless I pay up (it's the Edsamail thing I was talking about in an earlier post), I'm just hanging on by a thread. If I don't get that password soon, I'll have to move my website again. Hoo boy.

08:11 PMLooks like Edsamail, the free email provider I've been using for over two years, has called it quits, and will no longer be offering its free email services. It'll start charging 365 pesos per year for unlimited use and access to Edsamail. I don't know whether to pay up or start shopping for POP3 accounts elsewhere.

04:44 PM I just spent the entire day at the public swimming pool in our subdivision. Needless to say, I now have a nice golden brown tan. Ü I didn't really want to get this dark, since graduation day is on April the 21st, but I did really want to swim. After our Holy Week Subic stint, I just felt like I didn't get the full exercise workout that I wanted from swimming in the waters of Subic Bay. I hate stepping on really big stones at the shoreline, and Subic's beaches are full of them--not to mention the seaweed that wraps around your ankles. I still shudder thinking about it.

Anyway, looks like Portland FTP is still offline. I'm beginning to wonder when I can move this mirror back to the old website, which is already gathering dust. I've even considered the possibility of moving permanently to this space, but since I promised myself I wouldn't move at least for six months, there's nothing I can do but wait. In any case, the old site's been getting a lot of hits from search engines, all of them searching for "ambergris". I'm not sure if they want to get to my site, or a site that has lots of information on whales and the substance called ambergris.

Here's a newly-launched site: YOU, which is Inq7.net's online magazine for young people like me. My friend Vanessa, who is graduating along with me, invited me to its launching party on April 6, since the invites are free for anyone who visits the site.

Speaking of graduation, while my batchmates have busied themselves setting up their resumes and job-hunting, not to mention applying to various law schools (Political Science is still considered a pre-law course, no matter that it really doesn't prepare you for law school anyway), I, on the other hand, have considered my options and my age, and it looks like I should go in for another bachelor's degree. I've always said I would have liked to be in Journalism or something in the Mass Communication area, so now here's my chance. It's only going to be an additional two years. But then, there's the other part of me that's sick of studying. I don't know what to do, so I'm hoping this summer I can sort things out and figure what to do with my life. It's going to take a lot of praying and honest searching, but I'm encouraged by Pau and how he was able to get to Washington, D.C. to pursue a graduate degree, all by God's grace and guidance.

01:20 AM Three weeks ago, my sister (lucky girl that she is) won tickets to Magic 89.9's Radio Box Office presentations--that is, she got free tickets to three movies. Those movies were Blade 2, Crossroads, and Return to Neverland. A day after she won those, she won another set of Blade 2 tickets. The day after that, she won tickets to Ice Age. Since we weren't really into vampires and all that, we gave away the Blade tickets. She had to study for three exams, so my mom and I received the benefits of the Ice Age tickets. Yesterday, April the 1st (April Fool's Day, hehe), was the first time she could finally indulge herself in her good fortune, as we watched Crossroads, the Britney Spears starrer.

I'm just such a nice person, and I happen to like Britney Spears as a person, so I won't say anything bad about her acting. It's just that the movie, well, sucked big time. It was a trite plot, your standard road trip-slash-chick flick, with a little self-discovery along the way. The cheesy part about it was that it seemed like a semi-autobiographical movie for Britney, and that isn't really the way to start a film career. Just take a look at Mariah Carey's Glitter: it flopped. The one thing that's going to make Crossroads a less-than-losing proposition at the box office is the huge promotion it's getting, plus Britney's huge drawing power.

01:32 PM Just to jump on the bandwagon... Rico Yan is dead. Which is funny since when my family and I went to Subic Bay this past weekend, we saw Claudine Barretto at the biking area with her sister Marjorie, Dennis Padilla, and Raymart Santiago. My older cousin, Kuya Nikki, even considered calling Ate Luds (the gossip columnist) and dishing the gossip. Then on Friday Kuya Nikki's girlfriend received a text message from her friend, who is a friend of the late actor. That was how we found out. My initial feeling was that it was an early April Fool's joke. After all, wasn't it just last year on this date that text messages in the Philippines misinformed everyone that the Pope was dead? Then we came back to Manila and found the whole entertainment industry in an frenzy to get live footage to the funeral, create TV specials on Rico Yan, etc.

I have never been a fan of the local film and TV industry; actually, I deemed Rico Yan's Talk 'n' Text commercials, Greenwich spots, and much-publicized romantic relationship with Claudine as cheesy and shallow. He was once a schoolmate of mine, but I never met him (although my mom used to hang out with his mom). Still, from all the things being said about him, it seems like such a waste that he had to die of bangungot (which is actually a real medical term, synonymous with acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis). It's almost like that story where a faded movie star tried to kill herself by taking an overdose of sleeping pills but instead died with her head in the toilet when she tried to throw them up. Ü

10:10 AM You know, I'm getting very pissed off at Portland for shutting down its FTP servers. It's also partly my fault why I can't update my normal site... I mean, I didn't switch to Greymatter, so I was totally dependent on FTP. At least since now I know how to config and use GM, when Portland's FTP goes back online, I'll switch immediately to it. Ü Anyway, welcome to the mirror site for Ambergris.
