Guess what. I'VE FINISHED MY NOVEL, THAT'S WHAT! (Evidenced by the full green bar on the right side of your screen. 101%! Hahaha!) Here's what the inside of my head is like right now: IMAGINARY INTERVIEWER: I heard you finished your novel in under a month. That's impressive!  ME:  Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort into it. CONAN O'BRIEN: Tell us again what your novel's about. ME: Um... It has something to do with the universe. CONAN O'BRIEN: Go on. What else is in your novel, aside from the universe? ME: Um, teenagers. CONAN O'BRIEN: What happens to the teenagers? ME: Uh... They stumble upon a portal... That, um... Takes them to other dimensions.  CONAN O'BRIEN:  When can I get a copy? ME: I'm flattered, Coco, but I'm not giving copies out to anybody right now.  CONAN O'BRIEN: Why not? ME:  To put it gently, my "novel" is where good grammar and coherent story lines go to die.  CONAN O'BRIEN:  Well Ste...

If I had to pick a book genre I'd have to stick to writing for the rest of my life, I'd definitely pick children's literature over anything else, because in a kid's book, anything can happen. Dogs can talk, trees have faces, and Harry Potter is real.  That drawing you see above is the result of a little experimentation with the new features of MS Paint, and of course a little extra time. (Halfway through, I got lazy and decided to type out "the magic paintbrush" instead of actually writing it.) A short explanation: Kit Something is a bright young girl who always gets mistaken for a boy. (Her name's not really Kit Something. I just couldn't think of an appropriate last name for her, so until I do, she will remain Kit Something.) She finds a magic paintbrush one day, and with it, she brings paintings and drawings to life.  ...That sounds like an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, doesn't it. :| Well screw you. Plagiarism is legal now. 

I forgot the PAWS volunteer orientation was today. Instead of signing myself up and learning the ropes around the Animal Rehabilitation Center, I spent the whole day in my dorm, playing Pokemon Leaf Green on a GameBoy emulator. And to think that this was the day I'd been looking forward to since classes started! :| alsdfj aslf jas; zas a[sklf as; Looks like I'll have to wait until next year for the next orientation. :| In other news, it's been two weeks into the semester and it's still been pretty good. Mr. Pulan actually complimented us ("us" being the whole of my English block) on a job well done writing our personal essays. He said something along of how he could see why we were placed in Advanced English, and that we had some real talent. But then he said that we can't just be satisfied with knowing how to write well. He said that we had to push ourselves intellectually and take on more complex topics. This, I think, is one creative ploys of ...

#1: Lolwhut . Chick lit is a real genre now? . . . #2: My guitar of five years finally bit the dust today. I have no idea why, but when I picked it up this morning from its usual place behind the mirror, its bridge was already snapped off and the strings dangling out of place.   Aasdfkj asolfjwoijsld; sakj fw ;.  My mom says I can buy a new one here in Manila, but I'll go take it to a repair shop before I even begin to think about replacing it. We've been through so much! :'( And now for a little nostalgia: The guitar was actually a present from Santa Claus back in the December of 2005. It was a gift meant for all of us kids, but I, being the most musically inclined in the family (and also the most talented and probably the smartest), took to learning the guitar in the summer of 2006.  When I became a freshman in high school, I brought the guitar with me a lot, and whenever I did, my friend Marc Paul (whom I mentioned in another guitar-related post and is probabl...

Hello, blogdom. I've just returned from a nice little "dinner" with Raul, who was a year ahead of me in high school and is now a year ahead of me in Ateneo. We talked about some really weird things, and I had a nice time, and I totally did not just accept his invitation to go out because I have trouble saying no to people. Hahaha! Thanks Raul! Last night, I also went out with two of the nicest boys from Cagayan de Oro - Gerard and Jason (I mentioned them earlier, in this post ). We hit Shakey's, failed at Dance Dance Revolution, and then spent the rest of the night talking about our lives from home. They're great people, and hanging out with them makes me feel a lot closer to home. :) Oh yeah, here are a couple of other things worth mentioning: I was at National Book Store earlier tonight, and all of a sudden these two girls just walk up to me and ask me what school I go to. They seemed harmless enough, and so I chatted with them awhile. They told me th...

Chekitawt. I realized today that I forgot my guitar capo at home (a capo is something you clamp on to the neck of your guitar to increase the pitch), and so I decided to use what my friend Marc Paul taught me many years back - resourcefulness! My makeshift capo is comprised of a pen, a hair scrunchie, and some tissue to tighten the "capo".  And in case you were wondering why I am posting this really lame blog entry, well there's nothing much to write about really. And if you're reading this in a computer terminal in the library, say hi! :D

Three days into the second semester and so far, so good! I haven't even stopped writing my novel. Yet. There's a research paper due two weeks from now :| Our English and Lit professor is still Mr. Max Pulan, only this time, we're taking English 101 and Lit 14. Level ups! Yayz! Speaking of profs, our Filipino teacher is Mr. Alywnn Javier - the author of Sa Victory Liner , the poem that Ren and I did a report on last sem! He seems like a cool guy, but I'm really scared of Filipino class now. I don't speak much Tagalog, and it was all cool in Mr. Devilles' class last sem, because even he spoke English here and then. While Mr. Javier also spoke English during our first meeting, he made it absolutely clear that he does not want us being conyo during his period. :-s Also, he said that he does not want students coming up to him "stupid" questions like what Huwebes means. When he said that, I swear that a tingle went down my spine. I was just about to ask ...

My plane leaves tomorrow at 6 AM.  Reasons why this makes me sad: I hate waking up early. Hate it hate it hate it so much.  I don't want to go back to Manila.  I don't want to leave home. Again. I don't want to leave home, ever.  I'll miss my family. Reasons why this makes me happy: My mom bought me some nice clothes I can wear to the airport, which I guess is pretty cool.

Potential covers for my novel. Yes, they all suck, but hey. I'm a writer (daw), not a graphic artist. Title is tentative. Tentative title sucks. I hope I don't stop writing when school starts.  If you ask me what my novel's about, I will laugh and say "I don't know, really," because that is the truth - I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHERE MY STORY IS GOING.  *~trolololololololololololo~*

Huge news. Ate Fel from the Loyola Film Circle actually asked me to be the project head for the next Kapelikula  (<-- click that link to see how the last one went)! To be honest, it was the moment I'd been looking forward to ever since I heard of the LFC in the first place. Not exactly heading Kapelikula, but at least taking charge of an LFC project. Any LFC project. That's the dream. But because I remembered that this semester involves Math 20.3 with a legendary teacher, I opted to become assistant project head (if there is such thing) instead.  Oh, and hey everybody! Come to Under the Stars this December 3! :D <3
