… I cooked munggo for our lunch. It tastes good (of course, I cooked it!)

… I’m having a headache (only minimal) due to my menstruation which I have waited for a couple of days. Finally it came while ago.

… I think of my life for the upcoming semester. I am quite restless and nervous.

— am listening to Up Dharma Down’s ‘Oo’ which my friend introduced me. I like the jazzy style of their music. Better listen to it!

Oo by Up Dharma Down

hindi mo lang alam naiisip kita
baka sakali nga maisip mo ako
hindi mo lang alam hanggang sa gabi
inaasam makita kang muli

nagtapos ang lahat sa di inaahasahang
panahon at ngayon akoy iyong iniwan
luhaan, sugatan, d mapakinabangan
sana’y nagtanong ka lang kung d mo lang alam
sana’y nagtanong ka lang kung d mo lang alam

ako’y iyong nasakatan
baka sakaling lang maisip mo naman
hindi mo lang alam kay tagal na panahon
ako’y nandrito parin hanggang ngayon para sayo

lumipas man ang araw na ubod ng saya
hindi parin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta
kung ako’y nagkasala patawd na sana
ang puso kong hangal ngayon lang nagmahal

wooh, hindi mo lang alm akoy iyong nasaktan
o baka sakaling ngang maisip mo naman
puro siya na lang… sana’y ako naman
hindi mo lang alam ikay minamasdan
sna’y iyong mamalayan
hindi mo lang alam hindi mo alam

kahit tayoy mgkaibigan lang
bumabalik lhat sa tuwing nakukulitan
bka sakali lng maisip mo naman
akoy nandito lng hnd mo lng alm
matalino ka naman

kung ikaw at ako ay tunay na bigo
sa laro na ito ay dpat bang sumuko
sana’y d ka na lang pala aking nakilala
kung alam ko lng ako’y iyong mssktan
narito, sana’y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko

hindi mo lang alam akoy iyong nasaktan
o baka sakaling ngang maisip mo naman
puro siya na lang.. sana’y ako naman
hindi mo lang alam ika’y minamasdan
sana’y iyong mamalayan
hindi mo lang alam ohhh

malas mo
ikaw ang natipuhan ko
hindi mo lang alam ako’y iyong nasaktan

So I have my first day of enrollment and I got my 15 units (for the first time) on my first day. This is miracle! During the 4 years of my stay here in UP I could not recall any moment which I had JUST A DAY OF ENROLLMENT coz usually my registration lasts for a week. Good thing I got my status already changed to ‘graduating’ which gives me a top priority for the list students to get their preferred subjects. But you know, it gives me a nostalgic feeling knowing that I have only a sem to at least endure before I leave. That is a bittersweet thing. Everyone wants to finish school but not everyone wants to leave, and I am one of those!

I am sad. I want to make the most out of my last sem. I will miss being a student. One more (last) semester but still many memories to make.

Can’t wait to start my errands and go back to normal. My life’s crazy when I’m home. Boring. I am looking forward for numerous outside gigs with Kontra-Gapi. Can’t wait for out of towns.

Anyway, just yesterday we went to or aunt’s house to ransack some food from their table. Hahahahaha! Sorry for the word but I do crave for food. I want to gain weight before the school starts. I am that desperate coz I am looking too thin for my figure. I hate skinny body. I abhor it, not like many other  girls.

Take your pledge NOW!

In March 2006 four US soldiers from the 101st

Airborne Division gang raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family —including a 5 year old child. An additional soldier was involved in the cover-up.

One of the killers, Steven Green, was found guilty on May 07, 2009 in the US District Court of Paducah and is now awaiting sentencing.

The leaked Public Affairs Guidance put the 101st media team into a “passive posture” — withholding information where possible. It conceals presence of both child victims, and describes the rape victim, who had just turned 14, as “a young woman”.

The US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division did not begin its investigation until three and a half months after the crime, news reports at that time commented.

This is not the only grim picture coming out of Iraq U.S. forces being accused of using rape as a war weapon.

The release, by CBS News, of the photographs showing the heinous sexual abuse and torture of Iraqi POW’s at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison opened a Pandora’s Box for the Bush regime wrote Ernesto Cienfuegos in La Voz de Aztlan on May 2, 2004.

So, waz up? Waz up with me? Hmmm. The semester’s gonna end by now. Soon, not until Ondoy came and moved the dates of deadlines since acads has to be suspended. It’s just so terrible. I am not happy with everything. The moving of acads calendar, the suspension of classes, the havoc that Ondoy brought, the hassle for everyone, everything.  They’re spontaneous and no one’s really in mind to think this might happen. One word, TERRIBLE!

I am not directly affected by Ondoy except for my 12-yr old brother who slept at SM Centerpoint after being stranded at the establishment ’cause of flash flood. Other than that, I saw my friend’s house ruined by the flood itself. He lives in Marikina and he was one of those wreaked and left with soiled stuff at home. I could not just imagine what happened. It’s so sudden.

Now Pepeng’s coming. I am horrified with what might happen. Our house’s not sturdy enough to withstand strong winds, I feel so. We were just so lucky we were not swept by Ondoy but with Pepeng, I really don’t know. I could not do any better by now but pray for the safety of my family and for everyone.

As much as I want to help in relief operations, I can’t really leave home and leave my dad alone unless I have very important thing to do or if I feel the weather’s fine for a certain day. My Mom’s not here, as you may not know it and I have younger brothers to look after. I know my dad needs my help. So I can’t really stay very late or my dad will worry. Though I went in Brgy. UP Campus last Monday and did some feeding program for the nearby affected areas.

Nonetheless, these are just some of my qualms in life. Not to mention the academics that surely stresses me now (actually it never really fails to stress me out). Our thesis is going on but due to cancelled classes, our survey procedures are quite not going very well. Our feasibility study also tries to meddle over my free hours and pushes me to work and work and work. But the crazy thing about my student life is that I still include my ‘being performer stuff a.k.a My KG life’. Speaking of which, our applicants just finished their recital last Tuesday Oct. 29, 2008 despite the threat to weather. Another thing though, I became lax with my ‘activist mode’ since I could not really evenly weigh things that much during times like these. I became too busy with KG and acads.

If you want to stalk me or get an update, perhaps, I am very active in facebook. Yes, I am. Hehehe My url is http://www.facebook.com/jezzstarr. I don’t update my twitter, my multiply, or friendster. Just facebook. I don’t have a secretary to do all of them! I just have my two hands and some ample free time to update my virtual profile.

There. Pretty serious post I have here, I guess. I made it as short and as straight as possible and so bear with me.

Connect with me? OK?

Before I forget… This is my latest video which was aired in Umagang Kay Ganda last September 24, 2008. I was one of the musicians here and the cam was focused on me (yuck, yuck). Hehehe.. Hope you enjoy the video.

and my Graduation Picture for the yearbook. :S

Ngunit sa kagustuhan mong ikaw ay marinig at mabigyan ng sapat na pag-intindi, salungat at at di makataong pakikitungo ang inihaharap sa iyo ng nakatataas sa iyo. Paano na lang kung ikaw ang babaeng ito:

Ito ba ang gobyernong meron tayo ngayon?  Nahuli ka na nga, binugbog ka pa, minsan, binababoy ka pa. Paano naman kasi, isang sistemang mapang-abuso at mapagsamantala ang umiiral sa lipunan natin ngayon.

O ngayon, anong masasabi mo?
