MESSAGE TO MULTIPLY's SERVICE:
Excuse me, as soon as I finish posting images or blogs here in multiply, your 'Verify If You Are Human' alert always bugs me and it's really starting to get on my nerves. I had sent you a message before when this happened to me the first time. I am using Fedora 10 as my operating system and I guess that's the reason why the image can't be viewed. Can't you do anything about this? How can a multiply user like me continue to be a member in this site if this happens most of the time? I can't even finish the things that I am doing because of that stupid alert. Like, it is so bothering since I still have to ask my friend to open my account for me just so I could continue what I was doing. Are you like, insulting me? Asking me repeatedly if I am human! duh.

YES, YOU COULD GO TO JAIL.
As I dropped the coins I so willingly gave to them no matter how wrong it is, I patted their heads and they gave me the most heart-breaking looks. I have half a mind to cry that instant, not to mind the dozens and dozens of people passing behind me who doesn't give any damn about my problem but, I can't. All that was stuck inside my head to think of is this: "I'm going to help them. I'm going to give them a proper home."
I know that my soft spot for animals would always lead me to trouble someday yet, I still won't give up to help each and every animal whom I believe is being maltreated. Just yesterday, while my friend and I were passing a busy street near FEU, our hearts were crushed when we saw two dogs that were being wrongly treated.
These two dogs, being just the typical local dogs here in our country, were sitting on a plastic chair. Of course, their butts definitely wouldn't fit knowing that those chairs were built for the comforts of a human's butt, which is usually smaller than those of these two dogs. Also, their necks were tied to the handles of the chairs that one wrong move of the dogs could trigger their own deaths. As if sitting all day under the direct heat of the sun in a way too small chair for you is not yet enough torture for these dog's idiotic owner, he even asked the dogs to carry baskets in their mouths to ask for alms from the passersby.
I was so down seeing those dogs being treated as if they don't have any rights at all. How could inconsiderate people such as the owner of those dogs be allowed to move freely in our country? My heart failed me. No matter how much I hate to give money to the dogs, for I know that the money would only be for the comfort of their heartless owner, I still gave them coins, hoping against hope that it would somehow help for the dog's meal that night.As I dropped the coins I so willingly gave to them no matter how wrong it is, I patted their heads and they gave me the most heart-breaking looks. I have half a mind to cry that instant, not to mind the dozens and dozens of people passing behind me who doesn't give any damn about my problem but, I can't. All that was stuck inside my head to think of is this: "I'm going to help them. I'm going to give them a proper home."
If only they could speak, I bet when they saw me that afternoon, teary-eyed as I was, they were somehow hopeful that I might be the one to help them. I know it's crazy to believe that but, what would I lose if I would help them, right? They have all the rights in this world as I do.
I immediately sent a report to the president of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) who is my mom's friend. I sent her the details and I am waiting for the time when those dogs would finally fall into the hands of a new loving family where they would be treated as how they should be.
The next time you might want to hurt your pets, especially dogs, just think about this. No matter how many times you push away your dog, look at her and you'll see that she'll do anything just to stay right back to you. They never hold grudges against their masters no matter how unjustly they have been treated.

stop imitating her, freak-o!
I am not in the mood to compose a good blog entry right now but I think that it is somehow necessary.
While my friend and I were busy enjoying with our new favorite online pastime, I can't help but notice that this girl has been imitating her. Well, in the pictures, at least. She's been doing the same poses. Poses which, as far as everyone who'll see might agree, definitely doesn't suit her. Though I know that the poses were never copy-righted by my friend, and that she has no legal authority over that, it still just doesn't look good for this copy-cat girl to imitate her. I have seen her photos for countless of times already and I am over a hundred percent sure that she NEVER does use those poses. Well, not until she had seen my friend do it, at least.
Well, I'll make this short for her. Partly because I don't think she'll be able to understand this much and because I'm afraid that she might start stealing my writing techniques afterwards, not that I excel, though. Anyway, You know, I am not a nosy type of girl but, your obvious obsession to imitate my friend is killing me. If you want, just keep your poses to yourself or to your other friends who obviously isn't aware that you were just imitating someone else. I mean, can't you get any lower? You are pathetic enough without you trying to imitate anyone else. I know my friend is good-looking and everything but I don't think that imitating her is the best solution. Like, if you adore her that much, maybe she had turned you into a lesbian. Try courting her. But I doubt that she'll ever like you.
I had been hearing stories about you for the past couple of years. From about 4 years ago, to be exact. Now I know why stories such as those were spreading:)

sitcom, baby :]
The first script that I ever made. For a sitcom in my English class on my senior year. I made this for just about three hours or something. It was noted by the the teacher. "Nice script", she said. It's not that funny for me, but I am proud of it, anyway.:]

Reena- (blushing) oh. Yeah. Sorry.
Xyna – well. We don’t like you as our mom’s boyfriend. So you better stay away. I don’t think you could live in a house with 11 children who hates you right?
Raoul – (cries out loud) Yeah. I guess so. I.. I guess I’ve got to break up with your mom.
Voice Over – (The following morning, their Madonna told her children that Raoul Broke up with her)
ACT III –Reconciliation
Scene 1 – Madonna’s Room, 8:00 am, INT.
(Madonna is crying over the picture Raoul)
Madonna- (crying hysterically) Raoul, why did you leave me? Now I’m all alone!
Madonna – (trying to stop crying) Okay, enough of this reminiscing stuffs. I think my children are awake.
Xoona – Mom, I brought you your breakfast.
Madonna- (weakly) Thanks, Xoona, but no ,thanks. I have no appetite.
Ruby – (enters the room) Mom, you haven’t eaten for days.
Madonna – Actually, I ate last night when all of you were sleeping.
Ramee – (shakes her head) I knew she couldn’t do it.
Maria – Anyway, Mom, just try to eat some.
Scene 2 – Maria, Ruth and Xyra’s Room, 9:00am, INT.
Maria – (seriously) Well, I think we made a wrong decision.
Marie – Yeah. I guess so, too.
Xena – What should we do now?
Ruth – We should bring Raoul back.
Reena – (puzzled) Really? Do we have to? Maybe I should ask my spider first.
Xyna – Yeah. We should bring Raoul Back.
Ramee – Yeah. Mom can’t live without him.
Ruby – And we all know that mom’s love for us will never change.
Voice Over –(So, they called Raoul back to their house)
Scene 3 – Garage, 11:00 am, OUT
(Raoul just entered the gate)
Madonna- (Running towards the gate) Raoul?
Raoul- (running towards Madonna) Madonna?
Madonna – (hugs Raoul while crying) I tried my best not to eat when you left.
Raoul – It’s okay. At least you’ve tried.
Voice Over (They hugged each other and finally, they became one, big, happy, family. They realized the importance of each other.)
thanks, s0rry, bye:]
bef0re the school year ended when I was on my senior year, each 0ne of us gave our adviser a letter. here's mine.:]
March 27, 2007 0721pm.
.sir ocampo.
.the school year is ending and we think that it should not end without you knowing how we felt during the times that you were with us.
.honestly, when you first entered our classroom, I wasn’t quite sure if I should be happy or not. In the 11 years that I stayed in St. Paul’s, I never had a male adviser except last school year, when our adviser filed a 2-month leave and our class was taken care of by Mr. Baggay. Being your student last year, I found you a little unapproachable. Maybe because you are always serious about things.
.I used to really hate you whenever you shout at us. It’s just that I really hate being shouted at and your deep voice adds up to my annoyance. You keep on telling us that we are no longer kids. Whenever you shout at us, I keep on asking myself why you have to shout. As what you said, we are no longer kids. Though we might do stupid things, if you talk to us, we’ll surely find a way to stop what we’re doing that’s wrong.
.As days passed by, I came to realize how good you are as an adviser. While my head insists on hating you, a part of me sees how much you care for us. I used to think that teachers won’t keep whatever they say. They say that they’ll help you but they’ll eventually put you down. I don’t know what, but something within you made me realize the role of teachers as second parents to their students. I came to realize that no matter how strict you are to us, no matter how mad you are, you’ll still be there for us.
.I might have given you a hard time but I want you to know that no matter how stupid I might have been, I would carry the values that you taught us with me, even if I’m already old. I want you to be proud of me. I know that we’ll meet again someday, in a totally different world and purely by chance. When that time comes, even if we’re not ready to meet each other again, I want you to spare a moment to look at me and tell me that I’ve grown to a person that you want me to be.
.Years from now, my memory would be occupied by the things that happened to me after my life in St.Paul. I don’t know how long I could remember the things that we shared together so I am writing this to preserve those memories in a paper. This paper might end up in a trash bin or might be lost forever however, before that happens, I want you to know that you should be proud of yourself because once in your life, you helped a group of students to realize the importance of having a good attitude. You made us realize that no matter how successful we would be, we would never be that great if our attitude fails us.
.I want to thank you for the things that you shared with us. Thank you for spending about 9 months of your life with us. I know that you can’t please all the people around you yet I know that no matter how some of my classmates (even me) deny the fact that we had a really great time with you, there would always be a space in their hearts where they treasure every single moment that we’ve spent together.
.Thank you for making my senior life a memorable one.
.stay safe.
.4-St. Hedwig0607 loves you and we’ll surely miss you.

yes. this is serious.
I have reason to believe that my friends have gotten used to this usual blogging of mine. Most of my posts, of course, are almost always against someone who has done something terribly bad to me or to my friends. They may find this a bit unusual, though. This would be the first time that I would go against someone who is a damn whole lot older than me. Yes, he is a middle- aged man of about 43, I think.
Of all my previous blog posts, I must say, this is the most serious yet. And, this is just a proof that I’ll go against all odds just so I could protect the people whom I love so much. Quite a lot of people might have seen me in a situation wherein people of my age might not be able to handle. I’ve been against quite a couple of teachers who had been unjust to me, I have insisted my rights as a customer for countless times and I had once gone against a man’s mistress. Brave much? Definitely. I won’t be scared of being able to tell what I think is right. After all, this is a free country.
Well, I have this close friend of mine whose parents were separated for quite a long time already. Her dad left for another girl and her mom, well, she found someone new, too. So the drama, right? Well, about four years ago, her mom’s boyfriend went to live with them. I must say, it must have been real hard for her to be living with a guy who is not related to her. Well, they get along just fine for the first few years. The only problem was: the guy is such a control freak. I mean, come on. She’s not your daughter. He always complains about their house. Do this, do that; be like this, be like that. I think that it would have been okay for my friend if the guy raised her since childhood. Well, definitely he didn’t. The girl had grown up pampered with love and comfort. She even grew up with a nanny so definitely, making her the perfect cleaning machine in four years is way too near impossible.
The guy somehow tried to fit in by buying the groceries and stuffs like that. He buys her stuffs that he thinks would please her. In one point in time, he earned my friend’s respect. He is kind enough to stay with her mom in times of hardships. And though they are open for criticisms since they are in a way, adulterous, they still attend masses together with the hopes of somehow, someday; they might be able to annul her parent’s marriage.
Well, all the respect had gone down the drain. My friend’s mom talked to her and told her that the guy was somehow turning cold to her. My friend noticed it, too. She said that when they were together in malls, the guy is just very silent. Well, not long ago, he and my friend’s mom gave spaces for each other. The guy, I believe, was the one who asked for it. He said that, he was just so stressed out with his work and, he was getting tired of doing almost everything in my friend’s house. Nagger much, right? I mean, if I were my friend, I would have been really mad to the guy. Why? Because he’s acting like a martyr trying to do everything without being told to do so and he’ll end up blaming my friend and her mom for being so fed up in doing those things, right? Well, he even said that he wanted to be successful in life, he wanted to find his real purpose in life, and all the other lies that he said. Excuse me, mister, but it isn’t my friend’s fault that you ended up like that. How you lived your life when you were still young, we don’t know. For me, if you wanted a house so badly, what happened to your income when you were still in your 20’s or early thirties? You had your relationship with my friend’s mom for seven (7) years. You must have been about 36 that time. You could have saved a lot from the time that you first had a job.
My friend’s mom had eaten a lot more than she could chew. My friend told me that she had been crying her eyes out for countless times and she even was begging the guy to come back. My friend talked to her mom and told her how useless that guy was, anyway. A guy asking for spaces is so not in anymore. It is so last century and I think that only guys who wants to have a reason for something uses that.
No matter how many times my friend told her mom that she must not take back the man, her mom still did, eventually. I guess that’s just how love is. No matter how bad your partner is, you’ll never be able to see it unless he does something really bad against you. Well, the guy lived in their house again for a week and, definitely, my friend doesn’t feel at ease. She just feels different toward the guy now. She said it feels as if she’s in a reality show wherein she’s forced to live in the same house with strangers. One night, she said, the guy came to her and kissed her forehead as if saying “I missed you”. It must have been a perfect apology if only my friend never knew what he really did.
Days ago, my friend’s mom broke down and became somehow, in a confused way, not herself. They rushed her to the hospital and she was given a relaxant. At first, my friend thought that it was just due to the pressures implied to her from work and that probably, it was a depression brought about by the previous events. The next day, my friend told me that her mom was going to the guy’s province because she was scared that she might get another depression attack and that she might hurt my friend. She also said that she might be better if she were to stay there. That night, my friend’s mom went home. She said that the useless guy got mad knowing that she was there and asked her to go back. Just like that. Well, I’ve met the guy and honestly, I am sorry for him. At first, I thought that he was really clever seeing that he graduated from a well- known school, but I guess schools really are never the basis for one’s outcome when he grows up. If given the chance to choose, I would rather stay in my school and be a good person than to be in a very popular school and end up being a VERY inconsiderate person.
The next day, my friend’s mom told us the real story behind all of this fuss. She said that the peak of argument between her and the guy was because the guy received a demand letter for my mom’s friend and definitely, she got mad. The demand letter was because of my friend’s dad. Anyway, she said that he could have told a white lie about her not living there or something like that. The guy got mad and said that why would he lie. He also said that it got him thinking if my friend’s mom is the right woman to be the mother of his children. But, a day after my friend’s mom accepted the guy back, she saw in the guy’s email that he has a girlfriend about 2 months ago. So much for the I-don’t-want-to-tell-a-lie thing, right? I mean, what are you thinking? You are nothing but a cheater after all.
He said that he thought that they were already over when my friend’s mom told him that she would stop bugging him. Well, my friend’s mom meant this, actually: I would stop bugging you WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO FIND YOURSELF AS HOW YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEED THIS SPACE FOR. Well, obviously, all those reasons about finding his real self were just all downright LIES. How can a man find himself while having the most pleasurable feeling in a motel? Gross. If finding his real purpose in life is what he really wants, then, how could he be into another adulterous situation, right?
Well, you be the judge. If that’s how he wants to live his life, then off he goes. I just want to make sure that my friend’s mom wouldn’t be involved into anything else with him. The least that they need in their lives is someone who cheats. Seeing that he is like that, I guess they are much better off without him.
My friend’s mom is very okay now. She finally learned her lesson- in the hard way, though.
