kinilaw na starfish.
I have never felt so miserable. Well, more of feeling guilty. For taking these pretty sea stars off Batangas. It has been a week since we went wakeboarding in Calatagan. my arms hurt the next day and my friend and i decided to dive the shallow parts of South China Sea. we rode a banca and marveled at the sights of it. Especially at everything under the waters, where colorful living creatures thrive and peacefully wander (?) about. I admit having to lust over these things, so charming, so tempting to take, and bring home as souvenirs. I feel bad, it feels worse than being a foreigner smuggling exotic animals off our islands. I take these and instead of caging them, or put them in salty aquariums, would dry them out in the sun and put them on display.
I should be arrested by the animal rights police, the WWF, the DENR, the animal welfare society, National Geographic channel, or what have we. I feel so terrible...
we caught about 20 or so, and returned the rest, and brought home about 4 starfishes each...
Now I am haunted by the salty smell of the sea, and the corpses of starfish...I left them in the garden to dry, but they turn out to rot and deform under the sun.
i heard from a lady from Romblon, that they sprinkle vinegar on them so that the insides would not attract flies. i heard from someone that rock salt does help eliminate odor and would help dry them out. i read that 70% alcohol would kill the bacteria and eventually dry the starfish's insides. i even tried using Vodka, and Fundador (45% and 36% alcohol), whatever alcohol based drinks we have here in the cupboard just to *choke* kill them....
i did it. i did it. i did it.
They deserve to be treated better than this. There is no one else to be blamed but myself for the destruction of Earth. i am afterall part culprit.
it may seem that i am over reacting, but i can't help but say it and confess. i ask for your forgiveness Lord...

and she said ... "haha well, i just asked kasi mejo un dating ng mga photos niya you all the time, so i wanted to ask you that, something i might not know. i told you that its okay and that i think she really likes you and im not against it. we have been off for so long and we have been on our separate ways before pa. im flattered that you feel that way towards me and in truth i can't same i feel the same way. i know i have told you that when you came here in the country to visit and we understood it well. i believe we had closure then and i presume we are good since then. i miss your company though, as iv said, things have been different ever since. i guess we have grown and we have matured a bit. i am glad this has all happened and that i do not regret the things we have done together, whether it be for each other or to each other or with each other. everything. i know its not nice talking about this through writing but this is what communication we have right now. but im sure if we did talk face to face it would be the same and we could have talked comfortably and sensibly to one another. haha unlike before where you would talk non-stop and i would not want to hear it and just hit you in the face maybe. hahahha!! kiddin' anyway, it's a new week, and a new outfit to work. haha!! regardless of the pile of jobs to do for the morning, and the rest of incoming to work on the rest of the day, i take working as a crossword puzzle or like Sudoku, where i have to do it to not waste time and still learn something new each time. days for me is a blessing now, as opposed to last week when i looked at it as just time to waste.good morning to the world and to the mutated bunnies hopping wildly in our garden!! hahah!! ^^ "
Listening to: Augustana - More Than A Love Song
break time!! ^^
it was then, my first time to go diving...
this is for Wed Jul 2, 2008, 1:29 PM
ever since, i have never stopped praying for the board examination (preparation, while taking it, and the anticipation before the results are revealed, the oath taking, and the "after" -what to do next.)
i leave it all to God now, and just hope for the best!! ^^
and instead of worrying too much about it.......
i thought i'd have a little vacation. practically doing nothing or bumming around isn't so abd either. hehehe. the day after our design examinations, i slept like forever, woke up late in the afternoon. i didn't even notice it was past lunch. i guess the conditioning was too soothing, too comfortable. it seems like i was "parang hinehele ng duyan" (swaying on a hammock).
Went to Ki spa at Wilson the next day. it was de-stressing, i should say. was with Koo then and i thought I'd treat her too and as a graduation reward, for being a Novus Ordus awardee, the least i could tell her how proud i am of her and she too deserves a break. we had dinner at Manila Polo club with Jus. the food was awesome! either that or we were just too hungry or that i just loved eating. haha!!
yesterday, watched Wanted. it was a porma movie. every scene had to remind me of Narnia. maybe it was because of Mr. Tho-Thomnas or maybe it was the slow motioning and pulsating beat i hear from the Dolby / THX whichever Trinoma has in their cinemas. hmm, whatever it was, it was a good enough movie and it "helped" pass time. i don't want to go back and work yet. not maybe in another week or so. oh and TGIF's grilled chicken + bbq sauce + blue cheese dip just made my day. yumm-o. (Oh, thanks Matt, im glad we too this time off. btw, you rocked that guitar game at Timezone! hahha!!) ah, won this cute pink mushroom, too!! nyu nyu nyuuuuuuu!! :3
Tomorrow i go to an introductory Dive with Tin. -swim wear? check.
-towels? check.
-extra clothes? check.
-wet suit?
-goggles?
-fins..?
ah i think Jojo got those already. hehehe. Yay! Can't wait for tomorrow!! ^^

exactly one month before architecture board exam!!! i don't know if i should chicken out again, but then, it won't do me any good. i would just prolong this feeling of incompleteness. haha!! most Archi grads feel this way, until they get hold of their licenses. yes, that will be the day when i could say ......
"Yes, I've done it!! Starting today things will go differently, and life will definitely be better for me!!!" ^___^
it's just that there's too much studying. not that i take more breaks than the actual "reviewing" hehehhe.... just can't bear sitting in one corner for ten minutes reading about the Fire Code, or RA9266 or VSTRs or 1F.U. = 7.5 gal.min or Le Corbusier's 5 or VRV or hypostile, 2 way slabs, and moment of inflections or the standard measurements of mostly, everything!!!
every other day, review center for me,
other days, i drown myself in the 10+ piles of the different subjects to be reviewed.
other than that,
this log book, is taking much of my time.
i know i should not put too much detail into it, more like, generalizing na. hurry up Lainey, got to file these at PRC before the weekends!! (deadline is next week June 6!!) agrgh!!! hmp, let alone this stupid pre-board. 
i thought i was glad i took that PLEET last year, when Dean Fernandez required us all to take it or else he would not sign our log books. after 2 board examinations since June 2007, the BOA now hears the cry of the Arki children. and well, makes bali-wala the dean's role. mejo disrespectful though, and says that the kids taking the exam this time, may or may not have their dean's signature, 'coz the transcripts and the diplomas certify that the student did grad from that university. sus. what good does that balita do me? just shows that there is injustice after all. Ty was held up last January 2008 from taking the exam because of that n biglang ganito this time?
bad trip ah.
then again, if i look at it in a different perspective, it might have been a warning, an evaluation, i weighted that i might not have answered much in the test and i am not prepared at all. (so thank you Archt. R. Alli, and Dean JJ. hahha!!! ) but, maybe it also was a test of faith n confidence. Maybe if i did not chicken out. i could have gone through the exam and be not worring now. *grrrrrrrrr*
i should change my attitude now before i go back to chickening out again, i should be excited and geekily (nyayyy) and happily (ugh) prepare for the last week of June 2008!!
yep, i can't wait!!!
(sarcastic. 
hahha)

La La Lie. iLove !!
He is above all this. He sees to it that our friends do not leave us, neither would our family, it is his way of telling us, how deeply hurt he is when we are troubled; how deeply moved he is when we are emotional; how ecstatic he is when we are excited and happy. He feels us.
In times of trouble, we run to our friends for support, our family, if all else fails to give us that comfort we need. Never the less the requirement from either one, we heed compassion from them. We see empathy that they, yes, feel our pain. They literally cry with us, and ride with us when we are in the pits. We rely so much on other people’s support, because we know that they will uplift us from too much sadness, and worry. Like in a dream, they are the Sandman waiting to rescue us from our endless fall.
That's why they would sometimes need to La La Lie too.... ^___^
Hehehe...Thank you so much to Toni Agustin and Monica for the Everything in Transit CD. iLove !! ^______^ *mwahhhhhh!!!!!!
Congratulations on your wedding!!! ^^
