misconceptions

we learned the following this week:

1.women and men are both emotional, but women are just more expressive about their emotions. the funny thing is, the guys in our class answered that women are more emotional then men. but one of them admitted that the last time he cried was last sunday. still, don't you feel weird when you see a guy crying? haha. or maybe it's because guys and girls express their feelings differently.

2.children who have gay parents are not likely to become gay. hindi daw parents ang dahilan kung bakit nagiging gay ang isang tao. it's the environment daw.

3.people tend to pair off with people who match them in physical appearance. sad to say, but it's true. i guess it's correct that usually, appearances and nagiging basis ng mga tao. and based din dun sa appearance nila, tsaka na idedecide ng iba kung gusto pa nilang mas makilala yung taong yun.sad noh?

4.masturbation does not cause mental disorder. haha. mejo weird but our psychology teacher advises everyone to masturbate at least once every other day. :)) yebah, even girls!haha.my guy friends love to talk about this topic but i don't know a single girl who does it.haha.

5.IQ is not the only measurement of a person's intelligence. kasi daw, marami pang ibang ways para ma-measure ang galing ng isang tao. kunyari, may tao daw na plgeng nagfflunk sa school pero he's street-wise.

6.absence does not make the heart grow fonder. at first daw, cguro oo. pero time will come daw na you will forget. may limit daw eh.haaaay.and yun.i asked my friends about this and ARYAN said that "absence makes the heart forget".

ayos noh?haha.mga misconceptions nga naman.so far college life is fun.mas nagiging close ang batch namen nung high school.tuwing break time,punta na area51.haha.and that's where we feel at home. :)

WHO AM I

it's our first assignment in PSY1. (psychology 1) write an essay entitled "WHO AM I?"
anu yon, parang yung sa friendster-About Me.facts about yourself.but i don't want to write just another essay na puro ganun lang.i want it to be something more... ewan. basta something more.haha.

ayoko magsulat ng tungkol sa mga paborito kong bagay, o pagkaen, o music. kasi, for me? it's just the surface. it's not who i really am. so, who am i? and this led me to think that i don't even know myself that well. sucks.

i'm a very complicated person. i talk a lot, i laugh a lot and i kid around a lot.usually i will listen to whatever anyone has to say, and sometimes i will only listen to myself. i can say one thing and think otherwise.i can laugh the whole day and cry when i go home for reasons no one knows about. everything i do has a purpose. i feel uncomfortable when friends cry in front of me because i know i can say a multitude of things but that it won't stop them from crying. i also cry easily when i'm alone. i only cry when i'm with my closest friends. maybe that means i really do choose my best friends. i hang out with a lot of people but they only know the surface.

i get bored a lot.i get frustrated a lot.i will say i forgive you, but that doesn't mean i'll forget about it.i fall in love rarely, and when i do, it's for a loooong time. i find it hard making decisions because i know i'll always end up disappointing someone. sometimes i fight for what i want, sometimes i just sit back quietly. i talk when i'm nervous but i also talk when i'm comfortable. i like challenges, and i like winning them. i know wrong from right, but that doesn't stop me from doing the wrong things.

that's me.it's still not enough, i guess. but it's not just the surface. should i pass something like that? what do you think? help me! =)

college kid

yesterday was officially the start of my college life.
and.. well.being in college is different when you just graduated from UPRHS. [University of the Philippines Rural High School.]

one, because people expect more from you. two, because most of your batchmates are also in UPLB you won't have a hard time making friends. three, because you already know the campus. and four, because most college students don't like Ruralites [that's what we call students from UPRHS].

ARYAN said last week: never ko inakalang ikakahiya ko ang pagiging Ruralite ko.

i'm proud to be a Ruralite. but i hate it that the word "Ruralite" automatically brands us as notorious, over-confident and loud freaks.

yesterday during our college orientation[i'm in DevComm btw.], my seatmate asked me what high school i graduated from. i answered with "sa Rural po." and she said "ay ang yabang"

grawr.

ooh.and it is said that Ruralites have some kind of sickness wherein we don't attend block meetings.well.we'll prove that wrong.xD

a mess

i actually cleaned my room yesterday.not because i wanted to, but because i had to, and they all made me do it.well, cleaning my room is really a hard task. you'll only understand what i mean when you see for yourself my room.ahaha. >:) too bad my room's all clean now.

i've been "rooming" there since 1st year high school.and no matter how many people tell me that the room is a rathole, it's okay for me since it's MY room.MY stuff.and i know where my things are.it may look disorganized to you but it's perfectly organized for me.

and yesterday, as i was cleaning it up i had to divide my stuff into groups.

*stuff to be taken to the dorm
*stuff to throw
*stuff to give away
*stuff to keep in my grandparents' house.

i had to be harsh to my things. i had to throw stuff that were useless, even though they held so many memories. i had to throw away pieces of paper that i used to draw on when i'm bored in school.sux.i had to give away stuff that were memorable, yet useless.

and it hit me.that room sort of symbolized my high school life.i filled it up at the start of 1st yr high school and now, before going to college, i'm leaving it and emptying it. that room held all the stuff i've been through during my high school life.books,notes,gifts,clothes,shoes.memories.haha and you know i'm a sucker for memories.

to most people my room is a mess.it's disorganized and stuff.
to some people,my high school life was a mess, full of stuff they didn't understand.

just like my room.

and just as i left high school, i'm now leaving that room.

***************************

btw.may dilaw pala na pakwan?!as in.yellow na watermelon. [okay in-english ko lng.haha.]
weird.

zodiac signs

of course i read horoscopes. they're fun to read and always leave some sort of warning for you.especially those that say "something's gonna happen to you on the 23rd and the 16th.." stuff like that. i don't believe in horoscopes, but i have to admit that sometimes [more often than not], horoscopes and stuff concerning zodiac signs always leave me wondering.

i was born on May1. :) definitely Taurus.so far everything i've read states that Taureans are stubborn and bull-headed.

someone posted this on friendster:

TAURUS- The Cutie
most amazign kisser. Very highappeal.Love is one of a kind. Very romantic. Most caring person you willever meet! Entirely creative.Extremely random and proud of it.Freak. Stubborn. Spontaneous. Great at telling Stories. Not a Fighter, But will knock your lights out if it comes down to it. Someone you should hold onto.

..and here's what it says about people who were born in May. :)

not having many children huh? well that's good to know.oh, and i WILL knock your lights out.

forever.

okay.out of the blue i suddenly decided to blog.why?well i'm listening to my playlist and suddenly Blink182's First Date began playing.and you all know that there are lines in that song that keep on repeating.

"this may last forever, forever and ever.
let's make this last forever.
forever and ever
let's make this last forever."

of course i was singing along when the lyrics suddenly hit me. FOREVER. whattaword.
we say we want some moments to last forever. these moments are the ones that we really really treasure. but forever is an awfully long time. some say that forever means that there's no end. and besides, if a moment lasted forever, then we won't have as many memories, right?

people say "i'm going to be here for you forever.." blahblah. and then they disappear after a matter of years. in that case, their forever has ended. some of us don't really realize how powerful words are. in this case, forever.

i was reading a Chicken Soup book a long time ago and there was a cartoon there drawn by Randy Glasbergen i think. two girls talking to each other. one of them is saying "Brian told me he'd love me forever. then he told me about a Star Trek episode wherein scientists stated that forever might only last a day."

i'm not sure if those are the exact words. i'm not even sure if Brian was the name. basta it started with a B. haha. ^__^
anyway, you get my point. i think. or not.

ciao. :)
