Now it's hit me. The O'Level results are out, the entrance exam results are everywhere. people are leaving and high school really is OVER; as in done with forever. It's just too sad.

On the other hand, having passed Asian Studies in UST, I'm uber excited to get to college! Although I think I'm going to have to inqure for other courses that I qualify for. But oh well, at least I passed!

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone on their O'Level Results. That was the best we could do without studying that much so you've got to give yourself credit people! I'm gonna miss you Batch of 2o07!

I think the past week has been quite eventful compared to the boring, not-going-anywhere days of the weeks before. At least I got to attend Yuen's birthday party and had this surprisingly mature heart-to-heart talk with one of my friends. Really, I was surprised at how much we've grown emotionally after all these years and we used to play hide-and-seek in Darul Hana!! Woah.

Then I went to church for this TOB session and stayed back for the leader's conference which we didn't really attend because...i don't know. We were upstairs instead practicing the dance and making the stupidly funny phone calls pretending to be someone else. Mean. I know, but it was funny at the time.

We played murderer, talked, laughed and did this "how many mermen jumped over the wall" and "this one is red, blue, red" things that boggle your mind. Took me forever, like, 15 minutes tops to get the merman thing. What? It was confusing, okay!

And oooh, last night, we watched Cloverfield. It makes you super dizzy because the movie's shot videocam-documentary style and the camera was moving and shaking and some scenes were shot at different angles and all that but it was surprisingly really malufet. It was bloody in some parts but all in all it was a big thrill. XD Too bad they all had to die... And the Rob/Beth love story was so tragic. =/

Sweeney Todd

Even if I only got to see about 30 to 40 minutes of it, I think my $7 was worth it. :)

Right, so first of all, they could have never been more accurate with the casting. Johnny Depp did an immensely great job as Sweeney and his accent made me totally forget that he is American. LOL.

Lotsa credit to Ms. Helena Bonham-Carter too, of course. She was an amazing Mrs. Lovett.

The story was just so tragic that even if it was disgustingly gory, I just loved it.

Anyway, ever noticed that Helena Bonham-Carter and Alan Rickman somehow are always cast in the same movie together? I don't know, maybe it was just HP and Sweeney Todd. BUT as for Alan Rickman, he is in almost every British film I've seen.

He was in HP, Sense and Sensibility and Perfume: Story of A Murderer. He's just everywhere! Not that I'm complaining though, I mean he's a talented actor.

It's just that its kind of weird to see Snape singing. XD

But anyhow, I love Sweeney Todd.

It was sadistic and tragic.

ANYWAY, I can't believe our little Danne is leaving us tomorrow for NZ! I'm going to miss her spacing out most of the time; her naiveity and innocence and her corny sense of humour!

She's always been our group's Luna Lovegood. Always very blur that its funny and she's just exactly like Luna! XD She's a big fan of Antonio Banderas! Haha!

Basta, Danne, if you're reading this, you just take care of yourself there! Forget mo na si crush because I'm sure you'll meet lotsa hot NZ guys over there. Akin nalang si crush. HAHAHA.

Pero seriously, you study ~~hard~~ smart and stay innocent but don't be naive! Miss you already, girl! Love you, sis!

RIP, Heath Ledger

Yes, can you believe it? The star of '10 Things I Hate About You' and the infamous 'Brokeback Mountain' was found dead in his New York Apartment on Tuesday. He was 28.

It's such a huge loss not only to his fans and loved ones but also to the entertainment business for he was one brilliant actor. I loved him in 10 things and A Knight's Tale!

You'll be missed dearly, Heath.

OLevel Results

Right. So I googled the O'Level results for 2007 and it says on the MOE site that the results are coming out on the 9th of February.

I'm not really waiting for the results to come out. I was just reminded of it by Dil's screenname on MSN. XD In fact, I forgot about the O'Levels already coz I'm more concerned with my college applications.

Woah. Sounds so grown up. XD

Don't go hatin~

Right. Don't really have much to do so I'll just let my mind wander and my hands do the typing.

Right, so I've got this little idea dancing in my head and I think I'll just go along and see how it comes out.

So, we pretty much label people, right? Let's be honest. I don't like labelling people but really, I'd be a fcking lying hypocrite if I said I haven't labelled anyone in my entire life and there is no way that you can avoid this, especially when you're in highschool.

Typical highschool labels and stereotypes:

Hate nerds? Think twice. What are 'nerds' or 'geeks' exactly, anyway? Because if what you call nerds are those people who are smart, read books and wear glasses then I might have to be classified as one of them, won't I?

Besides, how do you explain the term 'nerd' without being mean? Do you say they are people who are obssessed with one thing or what? There is a fine line between being a geek and being smart, is there not? I think, in my honest opinion, it's just another one of those stereotypes.

ANYWAY, here's a little piece of advice from Bill Gates; He says, "Don't hate on nerds, chances are you'll be working for one." Which doesn't necessarily have to be true but its likely in most cases. UNLESS of course, you are being stalked and followed by one in the most unbecoming and cringe-ing way, as in Hanah's case, then you may have a reason to at least not like them.

Hate posers and wannabes? Be thankful for them. Then you'd know how 'posing' and being a wannabe looks like, which is horribly horrible, so chances are, you won't follow in their footsteps, unless, of course, you are an idiot and you look up to them.

Hate them know-it-alls? Me too but seeing a know-it-all keeps you grounded because there is no way in hell would you want to be like them. Trust me, they are annoying and make you wanna run and hide when you spot them, 50 kilometres away from you.

Hate that 'It' Girl and her group of bimbos? Who doesn't? But really, at the same time, who doesn't love them? At least what they own anyway. They've got cool rides, the season's Chanel bag and that pair of oh-so-yummy Jimmy Choos and Manolo Blahnik silk pumps. Who wouldn't want that? Anyway, I just keep reminding myself that there is, yet again, a fine line between flaunting the lifestyle and feeling "I'm holier than thou" and just living the lifestyle with the people you actually care about. Believe it or not, there is a way of being glamorous and down-to-earth at the same time. Sadly, I only fit the down-to-earth description and can't be glamorous without looking like a wannabe and heaven knows I'd be anything than just that!

So how do I be myself? I suppose I'm not quite through with the 'getting to know yourself' stage yet so right now, I'm just my bookworm, music-lover, happy-go-lucky and open-minded self. XD

Sunday

Ooh, I forgot to blog about yesterday!

It felt great to see everyone again. I just realized when I saw them and when I was actually there how much I really miss them and how they're really a huge part of my life. Maybe they didn't notice it but it felt really good to be back with the people you really care about.

And so, I'm so looking forward to going back which is probably on Friday. :)

New Year

HAHA. Seems a little too late to be blogging about new year, right? It's still January so what the hell. XD

Ok, so I'm really as in really going to start off 20o8 right. Seriously. :D Besides, it is going to be a pretty new and exciting year for me coz I'm gonna start college soon so why not brush up on my attitude.

First on my list is to actually start doing the things that I planned to do for this holiday. I planned to learn how to drive, take up a sport and other things that I suppose I should do to make the most out of my holiday.

Second, sort out this emotional thing. Really, I don't want to not do things that I'll regret. Something like that.

And then there's brushing up on chemistry and maths because apparently, like I've said before, I'm going to need it when I take Pharmacy.

Ok, now I can't concentrate on writing my blog because Bianca, Martin, Yusof and Farhan are talking bout so many things that I'm actually confused. Gawd.

HAHA.

Later lah. Bye.

And oh yeah, this Caitlin girl on Heroes, I don't like her. She has a terrible, terrible Irish accent and she's just not pretty enough for Peter! When I watch her, I feel like smacking her in the head. Mean, I know but seriously, I wish they'd just made her English than Irish or if not, get a real Irish actress.

But I can hardly blame her. Peter's hotness is of uber, uber high calibre and sadly, us mere mortals can only dream of matching his level of hotness.

HAHA. Whatever. XD

And oh yeah, am I the only one who's actually really sick of Sylar and the guy with the Horn-Rimmed Glasses aka Claire's dad aka Noah Bennet? I'm really starting to seriously hate them.

BUT, I'm super glad Kristen Bell is on Heroes! I love her in Veronica Mars and I love her in Heroes even if she plays a bi*ch. West is pretty cute too. :)

Ooh, I got through teaching form5 today! They were alright. :)

Anyway, I gotta go. I just wanted to blog about how much I dislike ('hate' is a pretty strong word) Caitlin. HAHA.

That's all. :)

Conflicting Emotions?

My friendster horoscope says I'm going to get organised about my conflicting emotions today. What a piece of tuuuut. Lol, I don't particularly believe in horoscopes and I'm not starting anytime soon and besides, I don't even have conflicting emotions today.

The only 'organised' feeling I got was when I had the sudden impulse earlier to clean out my bag and throw out pieces of candy wrappers and old receipts.

Well, anyway, I'm going to have start teaching Biology to form5 students. How in hell am I supposed to do that?! Ok, maybe Bio is the only science subject I'm pretty decent at but that doesn't mean I can teach it, right? Yeah but anyway, I'm not one to give up that easily so roughly 10 minutes from now, I'm gonna be sitting my arse down and teaching bio. :) It won't have to be a problem at all.

I hope against all hope that I get to get out of the office early today. I wanna go church. I miss them people over there very muchos.

Got to dash. Byeeee~

yearbook

Yeah, the yearbook. It's bloody amusing. XD Especially the seniors' section. I mean, that is supposed to be the highlight of the yearbook, right?

Well anyway, I dropped by at school today to get my brother's student pass permit and found out that the yearbooks were available so I got mine and when I got to the office, I immediately sat down and flipped through it.

Sadly, it is so uninteresting. I'm not quite sure why. I mean, all the success and all the awards were a good read and of course, it makes you kinda proud but really, there's just this something missing... Oh, I know now! It's because it looks like a fudging history book on the history of our school! I mean, that's not bad but maybe they could've added a few more pages on the seniors and the students and all that, you know? No, you don't because I'm really not getting my point across very well, am I? To sum it all up, it's just bland.

BUT, but, but, but. HAHA. It is to some extent, quite amusing. Just the seniors part. The part where we wrote our "In 15 years" thing. XD

And mine is, like, so boring!! XD

I wrote:
In 15 years: Own a pharmacy.

HAHA. Anyway, how ever boring my "in 15 years" is, that's exactly what I wanna do and I'm gonna work really, really hard to achieve it!

If ever I could rewrite it and change it in the yearbook, I'd write:
I'd like to run my own pharmaceutical and business empire and like, live in the UK with my Tom Felton husband.

HAHA.

So anyway, speaking of celebrities and normally I wouldn't care who's dating who coz in Hollywood, relationships don't really last but I just read this whole thing about Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia dating and I saw pictures of them and I have to say that they look really cute together! Really, they do! If you haven't seen them together, go ahead and google them.

Never mind the age difference (Hayden's 18, Milo's 30)! Hello! It's Milo we're talking about here. Not some Tom Hanks old kind of guy. He's hot especially in season 2 of Heroes.

Anyway, I don't want to sound like a freak obsessed with Milo because I'm not, he's just really cute, so I'll stop right here. XD

I have this bad feeling like my blog is turning into a huge bimbotic one. How sad.

That's all.

Toyota Corolla

Haha. We went to the mall today because mom wanted to watch Vina Morales perform at this Toyota Corolla promotion thing and man, were there a helluva crowd! There were so many people!

There were like, four performers that performed: Zul F, Astrid from Indonesia, Dina from Malaysia and last but not least, Vina Morales from...Philippines!!

So yeah, they performed like, three songs each and Vina Morales was the last performer and ALL eyes were on her! She was amazing! She was so energetic and I didn't know she sang that great until I heard her! She was the best among the four of them who performed and everyone who watched agrees. They were all clapping and cheering for her. She's so pretty in person too!

Yeah, so, I didn't expect to be so starstrucked and amazed and all but really, I'm just proud that filipinos are able to just give their best in every way that they can with the sincerest of intentions... yeah, something like that. Haha. But yeah, YABANG PINOY!!

So, anyway, we were there till like 4pm and then we went to church for mass. I bought season2 of Heroes! Haha. I don't know, I just felt like buying it so yeah, I did.

OH YEAH. My friends and I watched National Treasure 2 last night and I have to say, it's pretty good. It was really funny but somehow it wasn't all that exciting and thrilling for me. The history was pretty interesting though and the Riley Poole character is uber cute in his nerdy, clueless kind of way. I love him. :) I recommend it. It's a good laugh.

Suddenly, I feel like blogging about PBBCelebrity Edition 2 coz I realized I haven't so here I gooo.. HAHA.

Right. So, everyone knows Ruben is going to win right coz like, every single housemate that was left, voted for him except Ruben (duh!) who voted for Gabby and yes, Ruben did turn out to be the big winner, I mean, yeah, I knew that would happen but Riza as 2nd place? PUHLEASE! Gabby should have won 2nd place! She was willing to make sacrifices for Yayo and she's like, uber cool coz she's a racer and all but noooo, she becomes third instead.

OK fine, Riza's alright but seriously, all she does is put make up on even if Big Brother had already called her like twice to get into the confession room and make papansin to Will, ok maybe not as much as Ethel does but still!!!!

Speaking of Will, Will Devaughn is the BOMB! He's cuter than Jon but I like Jon coz he's English!! HAHA. He's got this sexy british accent when he talks. If I were Mariel, I'd have fallen for him already. Oops, I forgot, she already has. XD

Join kaya ako ng PBB TE2. HAHAHAHA. I'd be like, the Brunei-yuki or something and I'd have my own phil-am loveteam! HAHAHA. Feeling!!!

In your dreams, kayz.

Bakit ba. Gusto ko mangarap eh. La ka pakeeeee! :)

Night, all!

That's all.

AHAHA. Bloody mental.

Miss me, Miss me.

"I'm just a girl who,
is in love with a boy who,
is in love with you."
Sick Inside - Hope Partlow

Right. It's not the exact lyric.s I just changed it somewhat so it's kinda relating to how I feel right now. HAHA.
So emo and lovey-dovey and I'm just not so used to it anymore. I bet neither are you. XD Anyway, the song gets to you somehow. Look it up on imeem. :)

I was looking for songs on youtube- yeah, youtube- and I stumbled across this video of Draco... and like, I saw him in the train scene where he beats Harry up and I have to say, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Harry's arse get beaten by Draco's sexy arse coz he looks so hot doing it. Crazy. Yeah, I know.

Anywayyyy... Cho looks freakily like Angel Locsin which means she looks kinda old AND Bonnie is like, taller than Dan now and it's gonna be kinda weird to see them snog but who cares. HarryGinny is better than ewwwwww, HarryCho. Belch.

Ginny, I'm just a girl who kissed a boy who's in love with you and I'm so soooorrry abouttt laast niiiggght, in the momeeent itt feelt so riiigght~

HAHA. In your dreams. In case you didn't get the typing, I was singing. Ok?

I'm just writing about HP again because I have nothing to blog about which really is a sad, sad thing. Wanna know how my day went?

I came to work, went online, taught a few kids till four then went online again. Exciting! XD

At least I'm going to the mall after this now and I get to see my girls!...and boys too.

That's all. :)

Karla Cristina.

London bridge is falling down...

Why is it that I so badly want to get there? XD

Anyway, I'm here all alone in this uber cold office, sitting on my arse till it's numb, staring at the phone as if that would somehow make it ring and listening to songs on imeem with only one earpiece coz the other is broken. But that's okay. I'm not sure why it's ok but it is anyway. Lol.

I miss my friends and I'm uber excited to see them again later. We haven't really talked, like talked since I got back, you know. Just those short txts and PMs on yahoo and msn and comments on friendster but we really haven't caught up with each other. So, I'm pretty much looking forward to getting out of the office early today so I can head down to the mall.

Heroes Season 2 airs on 22nd of jan so I'm looking forward to that. I'd buy the DVDs but I'm pretty much broke.

I can't seem to download songs from Multiply right now and that's annoying.

Again, another senseless blog entry. It's still early so maybe you could expect another fangirl blog entry from yours truly a little later in the day. It could be about anything, about Draco, about Tom... or about Draco.

So yeah...

That's all. :)

HAHA. Which reminds me, MTV's Movie Awards 2007 movie spoof is kind funny. I like the Miranda Priestly part so you might wanna look it up. It just cracks me up. Lol.

Nuh-uh, that wasn't a question. XD

That's all.

Oh God, I am SO taking Pharmacy now.

I googled pharmacy and nursing jobs in London and guess what I found. They pay pharmacists and nurses almost half of what my dad makes in a year in just a month! A freaking, bloody MONTH! Awesome right!

Want a specific figure? I'll give it to you. Wait for it...wait for it.

£45,000 per year.

OMG, right. XD

I might make it to London after all. :)

Sigh, all my dreams...finally coming true!

Ok, maybe not in four or maybe five to six years but still! It's freaking amazing! =D

I'm like, typing this whole entry with a big, big smile plastered on my face and then, bugger, I suddenly remember that I'm going to have to study chemistry and maths all over again. Oh gosh, the HORROR of it all. All those formulae and all those bloody numbers and letters that don't make sense to my poor brain and all those chemical names and all their formulae. It's going to kill me alright but my pay is going to bring me back to life. Wohoo!

I didn't apply for pharma in DLSU nor in UST which is a really stupid move, I know, so I'm going to check out entrance exam schedules in other universities now.

That's all. :)

Boohoo

Oh God, I MISS school!!! (Yes, this is just a few minutes after my latest post.)

I've been reading everyone's blogs and they're all talking about their first week of school and it bloody makes me want to get into my uniform and walk into my 5A class and have every one of my juniors stare at me like a bloody idiot, thinking 'Who the hell is this?' or for those who know me, 'She's repeating?'. Ok maybe not that because, bloody hell, I don't want to repeat any of those exam pressures but I just really wanna relive my old highschool days... Sigh. You really, seriously can never get enough of highschool.

I miss waking up early and getting dressed, I miss waiting for Dan to come down so we can head on to school, the old love and emo-ey songs in his car; I miss my desk, sitting beside Bianca and Muizzah. I miss breaktime and the tiny shelter we have for a canteen, the must-have trip to the bathroom with Mil and Danne and assembly after break time and laughing with Mil and Danne. I miss getting pissed at some teachers and having fun with chem practicals and the bio projects we were always asked to do. I just miss all of it.

I miss the earlier years too. When all the bengku teens went to PDS and we would all hang out together. Romance bloomed and so did all of that highschool drama. When I went to and from school with Tal, Joy, Heather and Rap, us always being the last to go home.

Some teachers I miss too. Really, just some, ok, not all, like our PE teacher who always somehow made us laugh, no matter how dirty or randy his jokes are, some of the younger malay teachers and our strict but cool math and discipline teacher and uhh... I think that's all. Seriously, that's all.

'That's all' - Miranda Priestly, Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine.

Haha. Bloody hilarious.

I'm really just bored.

That's all.

Karla Cristina.

Have a fantabulous 2o08!

Right. Blogging at work. Not acceptable but really, no one's here and I have nothing to do just yet so why not spend precious time updating my much loved blog. NOT. HAHA. Seriously.

Anyway, I'm back in Brunei (if you haven't quite caught on) and will be staying for the next two or three months. I think I passed the DLSU exam but I can't be entirely sure. I don't know yet whether I passed UST. Frankly, I'm uncertain where I'm going to end up. My mistake is that I didn't choose any medical courses for the first choices in neither universities which is why I'll be forced to try out CEU or FEU for Pharmacy or Nursing.

It's just that medical courses are practically practical these days. It makes it insanely easier to set foot abroad to make money (lots of it as I've heard). So yes, I'm considering that despite the long hours I know medical carreers demand.

Right. You're probably bored but I didn't ask you to read my blog right.

I miss Philippines but I'm not too keen on going back so soon just yet. I want to just savor Brunei for the rest of my remaining free time here.

Sure there's no Starbucks, no Krispy Kremes, no Serendra, no MOA but there sure as hell is Coffee Bean, Fun Bread donuts and the Mall so that makes me happy. :) HAHA.

Read my multiply if you want some serious blogging but I don't really know if you could call it serious blogging at all either. :)

Pics will be up soon, maybe. I just really can't be bothered to find the card reader so I stick the memory card into it and then stick into my laptop.

I'm just really bored. XD

Just this simple person with a big heart and a quirky disposition. Generally open-minded. Conventionally optimistic. Day-dreaming is a hobby. So is reading and writing. I haven't quite found my passion in life yet but I do know that I've got a purpose and a truck load of dreams and ambitions. (:
