Recently i just found out why you ended it. You thought i didn't trust you. The thing is, i did trust you. I only told you about all the "warnings" to be honest, to talk about something that'll make both of us laugh because, honestly, people telling me to be careful was and is funny. That was that. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean for you to think that i didn't trust you. We talked about it and i told you so many times that despite everything i've been hearing i was still gonna give it a chance. And i did. But you gave up. I wanted to motivate you to prove them, me wrong. But you didn't. I bet it would've worked out if you weren't such a MORON. Lesson learned for me.

Well if you must know. I miss you. But you're never gonna know that. Which is fine with me cause well, you were a jerk too for leaving it at that. If i hadn't confronted you about it, i bet you wouldn't have said anything. You would've just left it like that. Hanging. And i would've stayed clueless, DAZED and confused.


To the public:
Yeah, i know. Cheesy much. But really, fuck it. I'm frustrated so just give me this chance to rant about how i feel.
I hate people who do this. You know, publicly rant about their feelings. But god, i've bottled this up for too long.
So yeah there. Don't worry. This will be the first and last public bitter entry you will ever read from me.



Ha! Now i can breathe properly.

Keep trying to repress all these familiar feelings
I'm blinded by your stare
I lose sense of time in your smiling eyes
Everything's whirling beneath my skin
If only I could lie next to you, time frozen for eternity
Snapshots of your profile
Your alluring aura
All of these are blazing in my mind
Three hours is all it took
In your warm embrace, I wanted to melt into slumber




FUCK! What else can i say?! Haha.

To those who are loyal "JAKETTES" (girls gaga over Jake Ryan), read this article:

Real Men Can't Hold a Match to Jake Ryan of 'Sixteen Candles'
(The Washington Post | February 14, 2004)
By Hank Stuever


Listen to all the Thompson Twins songs you want, but let's finally admit that Jake Ryan from "Sixteen Candles" is never coming to get you.

Not in the red Porsche 944, and not wearing that Fair Isle sweater vest. Not with his shiny black hair moussed gently heavenward, not with his gooey brown eyes and square Matt Dillonesque jaw. He will not be standing there with his hands in the pockets of his 501 button-fly jeans (while leaning against said Porsche), and he will not be shyly waving at you from across the street. ("Yeah, you," he mouths, just as in the movie, after you look behind you to see what girl he could possibly be interested in.)

Let's be even more clear: Popular high school seniors don't dump their cheerleader girlfriends with great bods so they can ask out a sophomore girl nobody notices. Jake did not actually do this, because he is not real.

This last fact has not stopped many, many women (and not a few men on the refreshment committee) from wishing there was such a thing as Jake Ryan.

Jake Ryan, Jake Ryan, Jake Ryan. Write his name in loopy cursive on a piece of loose-leaf notebook paper and pass it on. Even though it has been two decades since the release of John Hughes's high school comedy "Sixteen Candles," there are women out there in their late-twenties to mid-thirties (and even younger, including teenage girls today who weren't even around in that era) who to this day are still pining for a fictional character, the perfect high school crush.

"Jake Ryan? He's only the most popular boy in school," goes a line from the movie. The simple utterance of his name is enough to add salt to the wound of Valentine's Day.

"He's the whole package," says Andrea Danyo, 28, who does public relations work for National Public Radio. "Even just the name has become something. I swoon when I hear it. . . . For just about all of my friends, 'Jake Ryan' is a given moniker for the ideal boy, as in, 'Yeah, it was a good date, but he's clearly no Jake Ryan.' "

Women who fell hard for Jake Ryan have for years secretly harbored the idea of the one true and perfect boyfriend who (through some Hollywood miracle we're never quite made to understand) notices the freckly, insecure wallflower Samantha Baker, played by Molly Ringwald, whose family has forgotten her 16th birthday. Ringwald stands in for Everygirl, who, on some subconscious level, hated being a teenager.

In the movie's happy ending, it turns out Jake (played by long-ago vanished model-actor Michael Schoeffling) has just as big of a crush on Samantha. He shows up at the end and takes her away to his big, rich house and gets her a birthday cake aglow with candles. This image of them sitting on top of the dining room table burned hot and permanent into the post-boomer female psyche.

"Make a wish," he tells her, about to kiss her.

"It already came true," she manages before the lip lock. Cue New Wave popsters Thompson Twins singing "If You Were Here."

Why Schoeffling? Why Jake? Why him and not any of a hundred other hunky love interests from underwhelmingly successful teen flicks and TV shows? ("I'm trying to think of another one who compares to him," Danyo ventures, "and there aren't. . . . Maybe that's why I'm single. Maybe he really has ruined it for us all.")

Women can talk about Jake two ways:

The first way is easy and chatty, in the hyperactive sing-song you hear from people who appear on all those VH1 retro-documentaries about '80s pop culture. (Oh, those weird, wacky '80s trends! Remember??!!) Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar told Cosmopolitan magazine in 1998 that "John Hughes killed high school for me" and Jake Ryan ruined her on love (this was before she met Freddie Prinze Jr., who falls somewhat short of Jakeness). Same goes for Jennifer Love Hewitt, who in 2002 told Rolling Stone, "My whole life, I've been waiting for Jake Ryan . . . to come and get me." And Moon Unit Zappa -- the ur-Valley Girl -- told the Times of London in 2000 that she used to carry around a photo of Schoeffling in her wallet, and even now: "I'd watch ["Sixteen Candles"] with anyone, even a stranger off the street. And if they don't like it, they're no friend of mine."

The second way of talking through Jake-related issues is harder. It's about an ache, a loss. It's about the imperfection of life. In the movie, Ringwald's character muses on what a 16th birthday is supposed to be like: "A big Trans-Am in the driveway with a ribbon on it and some incredibly gorgeous guy you meet in France and you do it on a cloud without getting pregnant or herpes." In this way she is asking for a miracle and Jake is Christ, redeeming the evil sins of high school. Jake as the ideal. Jake as the eternal belief in something better. (Jake on the phone, leaving a message Samantha is temporarily fated not to receive: "Would it be possible for you to tell me if there is a Samantha Baker there, and if so, may I converse with her briefly?")

Some women admit, when they look back at the movie, that there are a few red flags: "I don't really like guys who drive nice cars," Danyo says, thinking of the Porsche. "But I think he still has values." Also, there is the nagging suspicion that Jake only notices Samantha when he chances upon the lost "sex test" she fills out in her independent study period, writing that Jake Ryan is the one boy she would "do it" with. Also, he's a rich kid who hangs out with jocks and bimbos, and nothing good ever came of that, not in high school.

But Jake stands the test of time, even in his good looks. His wardrobe -- cargo pants, plaid shirt -- portends an Abercrombie vibe years before it came. His haircut requires only minor tweaking in a mental update of the fantasy. "He's timeless. He doesn't have a Flock of Seagulls hairstyle or anything," says Rick Sayre, 30, a bookstore employee in Miami who started a Web page devoted not only to the Jake Ryan ideal but to locating Schoeffling.



Boo. Step on a girl's fantasy, won't you. But it's true. This is reality. Jake Ryan is make believe.

Too bad.

[info]ineeddrama
Ahoy mates!

It's a saturday. I'm at work. I normally don't go to work on Saturdays. But today was an exception. Special request by my boss. A couple of days ago he said that he couldn't go to work today because he wanted to take a break. Go to Bora or something. So okay fine. I said I'd try.

Then yesterday I told him that it was malabo for me to go to work because I had a date with a couple of friends today. He gave me the whole "Lagi na lang kita pinagbibigyan when you're absent. Ako naman pagbigyan mo." speech. Which is true. I have been absent a few times. Okay fine. I said that I'd find a way. Later that day when I asked him again where he was going today, he brushed me off. The only thing he told me was that he was auditioning for something. Okay fine. Auditions for what though?! Hmmm...

So good thing our Saturday plans were cancelled. I could go to work already. And I did. I'm still here.

AND bwahahahahahaha.

Guess what?

My boss is trying out for PHILIPPINE IDOL. PhiLIpPine IDol. pHIliPPine iDOL. PhiLLIPine idOL.
Ohmygod.
I thought of that when he said he had auditions today. I saw them advertising it last week. But I really thought he was kidding. He wouldn't actually do that, right? OR so I thought.
I've heard him a couple of times. KUMBAGA..Patapon-singing lang. But gosh! I didn't think he actually considered it as a serious career.

He doesn't know that i know. It's FOULING time.
hahaha. PHILIPPINE IDOL. Crazy. hahahaha.

I have a job. I mean, I'm not sure if i should take it. My mom's client wants me. haha. Okay, that sounds wrong. ahaha. I'm supposed to interview people who would like to franchise their business or something. Great right? I guess it's better than making coffee and typing documents. Here's the thing...it's from 1-9pm. Daily. I get the minimum wage thing which is fine. But erm, 1-9pm?! Can i do that?!
I have a life too, you know. It's summer. I want to go out with my friends. But how can I if I'm stuck in the "office" for 8 hours straight? What if i have overnights or Oakwood part 2 or parties and shit?!

Okay.

No turning back now. I've confirmed. Waiting to see what'll happen.

Before we even graduated, I've read so many "I'm going to miss highschool" entries. Now I'm nasesenti and I feel like posting my own entry.

It's officially summer for all of us. The only difference is that this year there's no returning back to Poveda after 3 months. We're all moving on to our own respective colleges. New opportunities. New friends. New challenges. New experiences.

3 years spent with the best class ever. It really makes me sad to think that after being with them for such a long time, I was only able to get close to each and everyone of them this year. The year we all have to separate. I'm going to miss our make-up sessions, making marjee BI, camwhoring with everyone, making tsismis with the IW barkada, jamming with Fran, looking for my guitar cause everyone keeps using it, planning gimmicks with people..EVERYTHING. 4C is pasaway. 4C is love.

If there's one thing I really hate about this year, it's that my grades sucked. My grades in first, second and third year were a lot better than what I got this year. But nonetheless, I've learned not to care. Because this year I also learned to have fun. Now that I think about it, I find it strange that though I've known people since gradeschool, I was only able to really bond with them this year.
3rd year was the most tiring year in highschool...of course it was. We all know that it's because of CSDC. I would never give that experience up for anything. BUT I can definitely say that this year stressed me out more than last year. Talaban. TALABAN. Talaban. College entrance test. Anticipating the results. Getting the results. CSDC. Session Tests. Quizzes. Homeworks.

Despite everything I just mentioned, this year was still the best.

shit. I'm really going to miss Poveda. Or should I say, my Povedan friends lang?

I don't know how to end this entry.
I guess I should just say Goodbye.
and
See you along Katipunan in June.
