Har.XD

Duuuude. Love these idioms, har.XD

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances, like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E.Coli, and he wasroom-temperature Canadian beef.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

.21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

...dahil sabaw na utak ko...

You Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye.

You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature.
And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your appearance.

You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life.
You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past.


Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have many true loves.

You've been deeply wounded in the past, and you're still recovering from that hurt.

It's important to you that your lover is very attractive. You like to have someone to show off.

In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm.

A break-up usually comes as a shock to you. You always think things are going well.


The Movie Of Your Life Is Film Noir

So what if you're a little nihilistic at times?
Life with meaning is highly over-rated.

Your best movie matches: Sin City, L. A. Confidential, Blade Runner


Your Personality Is Like Alcohol

You're the life of the party, a total flirt, and probably a pretty big jokester.
Sometimes your behavior gets you in trouble, but you still remain socially acceptable.
You're a pretty bad driver, and you're dancing could also use a little work!

...err. Pretty bad driver? Shucks, and I don't even know how to drive yet.:P ...and dancing?:p Why, I beg to differ.:P

What Your Face Says

At first glance, people see you as down to earth and reliable.

Overall, your true self is reserved and logical.

With friends, you seem thoughtful and interested in ideas.

In love, you seem mysterious and interesting.

In stressful situations, you seem selfish and moody.


You are 93% Virgo


Your Famous Last Words Will Be:

"So, you're a cannibal."


Your Lucky Underwear is Green

You're a total go getter who will scrape and crawl to get to the top. And your lucky green underwear will help you get there without a struggle.
A fast learner, you enjoy a good mental challenge - whether it's getting your law degree or running a successful business.

Sometimes you push too hard to succeed, alienating friends and wearing yourself out in the process.
If you want to reach your goals while still maintaining a full life, put on your green underpants. They'll help you slow down and enjoy life.


You Are 68% Cynical

You're a full blown cynic... and probably even skeptical of these results.
You have your optimistic moments, but most likely you keep them to yourself.


Your Deadly Sins
Pride: 80%
Gluttony: 60%
Greed: 60%
Sloth: 60%
Wrath: 60%
Envy: 20%
Lust: 20%
Chance You'll Go to Hell: 51%
You will become famous - and subsequently killed by a stalker.


You Are 80% Boyish and 20% Girlish

You have a tough exterior - and usually a tough interior to match it.
You're no nonsense, logical, and very assertive.
Sometimes you can't understand women at all, even if you're a woman yourself.
You see things rationally, and don't like to let your emotions get the best of you.


You're A Passed Out Drunk

Drinking gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, until you're thrown in the back of a police car...


You Are a Boxer Puppy

Energetic, playful and good with kids.
You've also got a wild spirit that can't be trained or tamed.

.................Shit lang.

ugh.

hell week. finally. over.XP

..........ugh, it was mortifying.

Damn man, I know I should let bygones be bygones and all that, but ugh. Shitty shit. How mortifying. StratMark I mean. Okay lang siguro sana kung naging tagapindot na lang ako ng powerpoint or something, vis-a-vis being the frontrunner of what could ostensibly called the most blah presentation of the five.XP Sabi nga ni Ingga, parang ginawa lang ng kung sino.X0 Ugh. Mortifying. All the more because my close friends were there man.XP Mortifying. I was so happy seeing Koodei and Dappy there (but at the same time cringing kasi man, how great was our presentation?XP) tapos Koodei goes pa, "Izzy! Galing galing! The best speaker!" and inside I went, ohgod I am mortified.) Ingga and mummy were talking pa daw, sabi ni mummy (upon seeing the other groups' powerpoint) "waw, galing naman niyan, kaya ba ng Ateneo yan?" And Inggy goes, "duh mom, hintayin mo lang yung kay Izzy!"

Ugh. Mortifying.

I could've done so much better man. Audiovisuals are supposed to be my forte.XP As in the whole she-bang.

I wanted to curl up and die.XP

Yes, of course, Ateneo is ironclad strategy-wise. Pero hindi ito strategy contest.XP (tip to the future contestants man.) Sabing dapat tapos na yung strategy one week before pa lang eh.XP

Which brings me to my next bone to pick. And I'm picking this with our beloved dean.XP

At the end of our presentation we trudged back to our assigned locker room, tas marinig-rinig naming umalis na pala si Rudy (didn't bother talking to us na, ganun ba kapangit yung amin?) and then sabi ng isa kong groupmate na medyo ang sablay naman nun, bakit ganun? I was like, hey, whatever, no biggie. But then reflecting upon it after some time, I got to thinking, damn. What the hell?? Is this the kind of leader I want to follow? I was never a SOM person (recently nga lang ako nakatuntong ever sa dean's office) and now it seems my instincts (though I could never articulate them properly) were right. Shit man. Cut your losses na ba 'to?? Walang CSRP! (sorry haha)

And to think! I place upon him the prime responsibility for us not being able to move past the stategy phase.XP Mygod. Walang ginawa kundi gawing pulido nang pulido nang super-dee-duper-di-matira-tira pulido yung strategy, giving us about like two days and an entire night to cram the presentation proper.XP Eh alam na ngang presentation ang habol sa contest man! Nobody gives a shit for the strategy! Tapos at the very end lalaglagin lang kami. If I had put any kind of faith at all in the SOM dept, I would have felt betrayed. Buti na lang.XP

People never seem to learn. Akala ko ba alam na ng lahat (us + the SOM people involved) na presentation over strategy? Tapos strategy pa rin ang coconcentratan ni dear old rudy. Tapos sa end sasabihin nila ulit, ay maganda nga yung strategy ninyo, pero mas maganda presentation nila? Tapos lalaglagin pa kami? Dammit man.

.............................

Eto pa nakakainis. That people seem to think na napakabilis at napakadali lang gumawa ng creatives.XP How the hell can you explain to non-creative people na it actually takes time and a goodly amount of brain cells to come up with creative things?? At one point last week I actually wanted to cry na out of frustration. Chalk it up to no sleep and frazzled nerves. Bah.

.............................

Philo presentation. Isa pang ugh. I felt like a show horse. My fault, of course, for agreeing in the first place.XP But I could've at least put my foot down on what I would actually do. Damn you , people-pleasing Izzy. Show some backbone.

.............................

Hay. Wala lang. My Php0.02. It's just that this entire week has left a sour taste in my mouth. It created an all-time low in my roster of hell weeks. All the more so because I didn't feel like I delivered at all in any of my deliverables, all of which I lost a goodly amount of sleep and training over.

.............................

And why have you become so infuriatingly obnoxious??
