Ron: *something about Goya being manufactured in the Philippines but is actually a foreign brand* me: I thought goya was a Phil product! Then back to Globe: Ron: texts something that had these words somewhere in them: I'm really confused (at this point my brother accidentally read the message, grinned, and jokingly asked if Kuya Ron was gay. So to lighten the mood of the text...) me: I texted something like this: You're confused? Talaga? I thought you're sure you aren't gay?  &n... http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/518/Kuya_Rons_Confusion Tue, 1 Jul 2008 17:45:00 -0000 Internet Alienation: Thank God for Php5/15min Globe internet It's been over 3 weeks already since our internet crashed. It's like Christmas 2006 all over again, when I lost my laptop to virus and old age and I had to borrow my dad's laptop to do my papers. It wasn't bad actually, it effectively put a stop to my dangerously evolving infomania sickness (I spent more than 24 hours on the internet. I leave it on the whole day, afraid to miss any messages and/or updates as I went on my day's plans. scary) So although this alienation is not my choice, and although it's giving me a tough time with school work (yes, I'm used to having everything I need just within my reach. By need I mean information for homework and whatnot), I think it's a good thing. It stopped my Facebook addiction just before I got addicted to it. I don't know why I seem to have all the badluck in the world when it comes to gadgets. Either they would catch viruses or crash just when I need them the most. Printers at  home seem to have it bad for me: Just when I need to print my ... http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/517/Internet_Alienation_Thank_God_for_Php515min_Globe_internet Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:27:00 -0000 Surfing via m0bile Is hard. shizznits. >.< Sana maayos na ung internet. http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/516/Surfing_via_m0bile Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:16:42 -0000 Don't let your someday remain a someday "Someday, I'll be the fastest runner!" "Someday, I'll be the most famous actor." "Someday, I'll find the cure for cancer." "Someday, I'll be the greatest politician the world has seen." "Someday, we'll all be together again." "Someday..." "Some...day..." Why always just someday? Why not today? Or even tomorrow or next week? Putting a definitive when on promises makes them more concrete, and therefore, more realizeable. Yet, someday is what softens the promise in case it is not kept. But we have the power to make someday a realization, and not just a someday, just like we have the power to draw or write anything from our minds. So I say, it's okay to say someday. Just make sure you don't let your someday remain a someday. http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/515/Dont_let_your_someday_remain_a_someday Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:54:00 -0000 Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader? (*gasp* MATH??!) You need to come up with the correct number to open the attachment. (SEE BELOW) Good luck with this and have fun! This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. - There are 7 girls in a bus. - Each girl has 7 backpacks. - In each backpack, there are 7 big cats. - For every big cat there are 7 little cats. Question: How many legs are there in the bus? The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet.If you open it, add your name and send it on to see who else can unlock it. (See attached file: copy of answer sheet-3-1.xls) Hint: No bus driver. http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/514/Are_You_Smarter_than_a_Fifth_Grader_gasp_MATH Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:29:00 -0000 Weather Crazy Oh yes, the weather here is California can currently be defined as C-R-A-Z-Y.   It's Spring goddamit! We were on our way (albeit unwillingly and uncomfortably) to higher temperatures, even already hitting the 90's (the valleys and deserts hit up to 100+) and okay, I wished for it to get cooler this weekend before we go home but not this cold! My toes are freezing and I constantly have to pee (and God knows I don't want to do it in the middle of the night. =/) and it's just so goddamned COLD! Drizzles and light showers accompanied us throughout most of the day (though they call it a "freak storm". go figure) and we even had to wear scarves just to keep ourselves warm enough. And I heard that in some parts, it snowed again. HAH! Snow in May! Who would have thought? xp So much for summer and swimsuit openings. So much for a three-day weekend. =))   I like to think it's just California shedding it's tears and giving us some love before we head back to the tropics. xp   &nbsp... http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/512/Weather_Crazy Sat, 24 May 2008 06:36:00 -0000 AI Spoiler: Which of the Davids Won the season? :D Spoiler Warning: Avert your eyes now lest you want to be spoiled (unless you already are. :D)             With over 97.5M votes, David Cook wins with 56-44%!!   aww, I feel bad for David Archuleta but hey, he's young and he has record deals awaiting him so... =D I hope both of them (plus Carly, Brooke, Michael Johns, Jason Castro, and Ramielle (just because she's kababayan. :p) visits the Philippines. :D I would sooooo watch them! Oh my God, until now I can't believe I'm just like, a bus ride away from them but I did not go to watch!!! And Simon was really, really nice -- he apologized to David Cook. xp Some of the performances: Jonas Brothers, Bryan Adams, Donna Summers, George Michaels, and more! Watch. :p I love them both!!! Oh God, another season over-- the best season ever!!! http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/511/AI_Spoiler_Which_of_the_Davids_Won_the_season_D Thu, 22 May 2008 04:19:00 -0000 Multiplying Oh wow. I finally logged in!   geesh. Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, meebo and Multiply were all giving me a pain last week. Now, it's only Yahoo.=/ Boo. http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/510/Multiplying Tue, 20 May 2008 08:28:00 -0000 Back on Multiply (?) But maybe not for good. Because we are still having computer problems and it's just by chance that I was able to get on here.   Can't check in Yahoo for some reaosn and am having trouble with meebo, as well as gmail. =/     someone here being an extreme pain.

T_T   I feel so... so... DISCONNECTED from the people back home! And I hate it 1.) because it's making me sad; 2.) I'd feel more lost when I get back; and 3.) it's like getting a glimpse of what it would be like if I actually moved here. It's not that bad actually... but Philippines will always be home to me. Nothing like being with Kababayans (ahahha! sige lang, gamitin ang english grammar sa tagalog. xp) and people I could be myself with. Ang gusto ko dito, ang dami mong mabibili. As in, you can find everything for anything. If you think Philippines is getting more and more commercialized, well it's just a fraction when compared to how highly commercialized this place is. But take note: I'm talking about California. I can't say the same thing for the other states seeing as I haven't been to other states before.   Ahahha! and I guess when we talk about looks, I feel more at home here because I totally blend in. :p I have no problem with ... http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/507/Having_no_YM_and_America_vs._Philippines Wed, 7 May 2008 07:21:00 -0000 Urgh Whenever I remember my dream last night, NAIINIS AKO!!!!!   Bakit kasi siya pa?!

(special guest: Richard Gutierrez. *ewww*) The first time I went here, I had weird continuous dreams (meaning they're like episodes which continue on to the next dream I have), as well as weird ones that made me all angsty and such enough to make me write stories about it. *blech* And those dreams were realistic. As in, I feel more into them than usual when I dream back home. =/   And now, on my second visit here, I'm having weird realistic dreams again. The kind that leaves the feelings with me throughout the day, and at other times, for most of several weeks.   And you know what's more weird? Last night's dream starred Richard Gutierrez. @_@ Okay, I'm not going into defensive mode and act all shocked and apalled that of all people, I dreamt about him. >_< but I AM going to say that I, apparently, have a crush on him without me knowing it. I mean, sure, he's good looking and all that I even had a crush on him when I was 13, but after seeing how horrible his acting was, I immediately got over it.

Mama: Nasa Ped Xing Daddy: Ang dami-daming Ped Xing! Mama: Ewan ko! Basta andito ko sa Ped Xing! Ayan o, nakalagay, Ped-Xing!     teeheeheehee! ^.^ Well, for the record, it was only in the last couple of years that I realized it wasn't an adapted Chinese name for "pedestrian lane" that read "Ped Shing", but was, in fact, a sort of text version of "Pedestrian Crossing". =)))))) http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/journal/item/504/Ped_Xing Mon, 5 May 2008 06:26:00 -0000 San Francisco, China Town, and the Golden Gate Bridge (for the second time!) We flew from Los Angeles to San Francisco on board the Virgin America Airlines. The plane was cool, sleek, and very informal with the way they handle the short flight. With the very nice entertainment system (touch screen, games, TV, movies, music -- I could've flown for more than several hours and I wouldn't be bored. :p) minus the strange guy we sat with, it was a fine flight. We went around San Francisco for the second time, visited Sausalito (a.k.a. The Little Italy) for the first time, and went to Vallejo for the second time! It was a fun week. :D I hope to go back again http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/photos/album/133/San_Francisco_China_Town_and_the_Golden_Gate_Bridge_for_the_second_time Fri, 2 May 2008 01:00:08 -0000 Downtown Buffet and Musikahan The komedian was gay (duh) and hahahaha!!! Would you guys believe na ako yung unang kumanta at naki-singalong? :D Hahahaha! Eh kasi di daw kame aalis kung di pa ako kumanta at kawawa naman mga friends ni mama, kaya lang nagpunta dun para marinig akong kumanta. xD Well ayun. Fun naman kung di lang dahil sa nangyari with the receipts and everything. Pinababalik kame, at gusto pa akong pakantahin ng isa pa pero duh, ewan ko lang. http://ewickajaney.multiply.com/photos/album/132/Downtown_Buffet_and_Musikahan Wed, 30 Apr 2008 23:36:16 -0000 With the kids from Mom's class The day we visited her school for the first time.

Although we did not get to stay as long as I'd have liked and though I wish there were more snow, I still think it was awesome! I wasn't expecting to see as much snow as we did, and quite frankly, stories from other people about Lake Tahoe did not do it justice. You have to be there to really appreciate it. The mountains were awesome -- good thing we ended up in North Lake, we got to see some sceneries we might otherwise not have seen had we ended up where they originally planned to go: South Lake. I need not wish to experience real-life action-movie-like today. Irresponsibility caused us to suddenly swerve in a U-turn and then find ourselves going against a one-way Freeway street. geez. I half-expected us to go plunge ahead to find the "missing/left/dropped eyeglasses" and swerve around head-first through the cars "Rush-Hour"-esque (or something like those cop flicks on TV). Apparently Tito thought it was a two-way street. 8-} hahahha!

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I mean, I know we are old enough to be able to do it on our own (we are 18 and a half!) and we are also smart enough for it, but I hope nothing goes wrong. I've researched about the plane we're taking and it seems nice enough. :D (we have our own tv/audio! *whew* that's a relief. 14 hours is a long time!) Wish us luck you guys!
