Since finals are stressing me out, I thought I would take the time to write a long rant about what it is I have been doing these past four months. Everything and nothing about my life bothers me right now, but as I get more and more into this entry, I bet it will all start to come out.

Basically, in the past four months I have managed to:

1. Get myself temporarily excommunited by my family for throwing a small get together which turned into the town rager at the house while my parents were away in Manila. I learned some very important lessons that night:
               1) Never smoke a pipe in which you don't know the contents of and if its white-its not marijuana
               2) Always knock on the door incase there is a threesome going on in your sisters bedroom
               3) Watch out for bitches with sticky fingers-- I got my phone stolen that night
               4) HE'S NOT INTO YOU; period
               5) It is not a good idea to use your pool table as a beer pong table- beer stains do not come off felt

2. Survive Halloween in Isla Vista without being thrown in the drunk tank aka Santa Barbara County Jail. Yes, this is an accomplishment-something my two sisters were never able to do!

3. Keep the drunk dialing down. Only two different people this whole semester! Of course, numerous times, but hey two is two!

4. Learn the concept of "shaking hands" because a drunk kiss is a sober handshake.

5. Not kiss strangers! I have known the last name of every person I have kissed.

6. The SPA (Mariana, you know what this means)

7. Marco. I managed to face Marco. For those of you who don't know who Marco is-- good. Just kidding. He was the first person I ever slept with and it has taken me 2 years to actually get the nerve to be in the same room as him. We accepted the fact that we were both immature and have moved on.  Thats another thing I learned these past four months of living on my own. Its to not put up a front and tell it like it is because those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind.

8. Go without getting a single traffic ticket!

9. Use barcardi as a substitute for coffee at 6 am in the morning. Hey-when in doubt; shoot it.

10. Learn that if you invite a guy for a sleepover, and are no longer sleeping in pajamas with feet attatched to them...he will only take it for one thing. It doesn't matter that you rented the Sound of Music or want to eat EASYMAC. He only has one thing on his mind.

11. Miss my dad so much. I never knew how much I would miss him.

12. Fall in love with my family.

13. There are many more things I have done but really this is something that I need to let out because its killing me. Basically I have managed to get myself into the biggest tangle of them all: I havent been placed in the "just friends" bin, but the "just friends.. with benefits". CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE FUCK THAT MEANS and why the hell am I settling for that? I deserver more and I fucking hate him for doing this to me and this isnt the first time. I had the biggest 4th grade crush on this mo-fo.  I literally cannot bring myself to even want to date anyone else or hook up with anyone else or cuddle with anyone else. I guess I am clinging to the hope that maybe, just maybe, we could be something  more than that.

"I've learned one thing, and that's to quit worrying about stupid things. You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you were wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink till sunrise. The work never ends but college does"
-Tom Petty

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I am deciding on Halloween costumes. I never used to take Halloween seriously living in the Philippines but people get really amped on it here, so I guess I caught the fever.

A few ideas (PS.. lets hear some feedback) HAHAH

I really like the Navy one.

&hearts;

i hope i dont get karma for this

Sat, 16 Sep 2006 01:24:48 GMT

But hahahha, first let me laugh. hahahahah

Okay, so I really thought that nothing interesting every happens to my small hometown-population 650- of Newbury Park but I guess things are changing because now it is going to be population 651 & Newbury Park is getting its first pseudo celebrity

Cici's old basketball team mate from Newbury Park Highschool is pregnant with Matt-mothing fucking hottie-Leinart's baby. Hahahahahaha. Excuse me if I find it funny in a twisted way. Here's why:

http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/sports/atoz/article_1265216.php

Brynn was one of the prettiest girls I had ever seen growing up. She was tall and blonde and could kick anyways ass from here to Sunday in any sport. But no one ever dated her because her parents were way relgious and she was Mormon. Like she was one of those 'you can look but dont you touch girls'. The Cameron's were all like that which drove those who wanted to touch.. crazy.?

.........and now shes knocked uppppppppppp. But shit man, who am I kidding? Her parents are probably salivating right now with how much money she is going to make. That baby is probably going to be born with dollar signs in his eyes. Move over Sean Preston, theres going to be a new-royally-fucked up baby in town.

Ps; I guess its true.. breakup sex must be amazing.

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 17:10:25 GMT

"He's probably buying her some fruity drink cause she can't shoot whiskey"

Im still alive

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 01:51:55 GMT

So I just started school and I thought Id let you all know my wonderfully random schedule. Hahaha. I love college &&&&& all the eye candy!

Introduction to Ethics
History of California (HAHAHAHA)
Peoples and Cultures of the World (another.. HAHA)
Physical Geography

Basically they are the classes you look at and think.. "who would ever take that?"

.....................
On a side note.. I just finished reading that book "He's Just Not That Into You" simply because I was actually bummed about a certain someone not calling me back (a very upsetting story) that I went to Target and bought that bad boy. After reading it, I realized.. life is to short and he really isnt worth the time and he really IS NOT THAT INTO YOU because yes, yes, yes YOU DESERVE A FUCKING PHONE CALL.

I really want to get to know this babeeeeeeeee in my anthropology class but shit, I DONT GOT GAME when I am actually sober. SHUTUP ALL OF YOU SNICKERING CAUSE I AM SURE YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY SITUATION AS WELL. But as I say to everything these days.. We'll see.

Ciao

Wed, 16 Aug 2006 07:26:06 GMT

Aside from some craziness that is my life and the fever I just recovered from: I AM LOVING LIFE AGAIN. again again again.
<3
<3
<3

And here's the saying I have been hearing alot of:

ATTENTION BOYS--:
FRESHMEN GIRLS...GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE SKINNY

Yeah.. thats nice.

One of life's very important lessons..

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 19:46:30 GMT

..Actually 3.

When drinking:
Drink Triple
See Double
Act Single

-------------------------------------------------------

On another note.. I saw Ryan and Kevins dad at Costco. Hahaha. It really is a small world-and getting smaller.

Weird

Sat, 05 Aug 2006 15:12:27 GMT

I cleaned my room today.

I know that might not be a big deal to some of you, but I never--ever clean my room when Im on 'vacation'. But I realized at 3 in the morning (still suffering from massive jetlag and I happen to like being nocturnal) that my room is going to be mine for forever from now on.. so I have to learn to love it and keep it clean.

Theres no more 'Im only here for 3 weeks than I'll go back to my two saviors (maids in the PH) so lets leave these clothes lying around"

I miss my mom.
I'll miss my dad (who is leaving in 2 weeks).

I thought I wanted independance but now all I want is to be back in my room in the Philippines with the aircon blasting and yelling downstairs to make me bulalo or sotanghon soup.

But I know I will learn to love it again here. Me, alone in a big house? I SMELL TROUBLE BREWING BITCHESSSSSSS. So let the games begin.

Myspace can be dangerous

Fri, 28 Jul 2006 04:08:38 GMT

Okay, I have to admit-I did reserve Friendster for strictly friends only, but on MYSPACE, I was a little more lenient...Often accepting invites from random strangers simply because--well, I dont even know.

But after this incident.. I downsized my friends list from 572 to 144. YEAAAAAAAAH! I just starting deleting page after page after page. (If I deleted an actual friend.. Im sorry)

So I was at the BEP concert just standing around waiting for my fries when some random stranger goes up to me and says.. "Oh Michelle? Your Michelle right? And remembering what my mom taught me about not talking to stangers.. (this guy was indeed.. STRANGE) I replied.. No..No..NO. And he kept insisting.. Yes, its you.. from Myspace! Your my friend on Myspace. (Stuck between a rock and a hard place, I just kept saying no) Finally, he apologized and left.

So here I am. 500 less friends and very very happy about it:)

cant you seeeeee. these clothes arent fitting on meeeeeeee

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 03:58:59 GMT

I have never seen Cuisine so crowded last night before but it was fun. However the real purpose of this post is to sayyyyyy a goodbye to my wonderful Pok, Ms. Amanda Isabel Sobrepena (with the accent over the N).

Mandyyyyyyy, it is really hitting me that highschool is over and we are all going to move on with our lives. You will do amazing things in Santa Clara. Find the cure for Cancer or invent surgery-free liposuction for me please. I love you so much, and I know I will see you real soon.

When are you ever going to drink cocolychitinis? DECEMBER!..waaaaaaah

oh the pain, THE PAIIIIIIIIIIIN

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 08:09:18 GMT

You arent going to be his first his last or his only.. He’s loved before, he will again. But if he loves you now, What else matters? He’s not perfect. you aren’t either.and the two of you will never be PERFECT. but if he can make you laugh at least once, cause you to think twice, and admits to making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. hes not going to quote poetry, he’s not going to be thinking about you every moment but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. don’t hurt him don’t change him.. don’t expect more than he can give: try not to over analyze .. Smile when he makes you happy yell when he makes you mad.. and miss him when hes not there.

....
im baaaaaaack! so call me & we can do something<3

Gone fishing..

Wed, 31 May 2006 15:50:47 GMT

So I had to go fishing with my family in the province today. They thought it would be fun. The only thing I fish for is with Mariana in Town Center;D

Fishing? Seriously who does that--its like we pay people to do that and we just go in and buy it already caught. Sorry I wasnt born with survival/hunting skills. However I was able to catch half a fish (according to my dad) because it was literally <------------------------------> this big, but I was pretty damn proud of it. My head hurt along with my stomache because I was hungry yet didnt feel like eating. DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE.

Also, in other news. I decided Im not going to dorm in Pepperdine. My friend has a condo down there and Im just going to live with her. I hope I made the right decision and I dont get stuck being one of those reclusive loners who depend on alcohol to survive the day/night. WAIT WAIT, I ALREADY AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

Im going to sleep off this cynicism. Maybe watch Mean Girls for the nth time and see how Lindsay transformed herself weight wise. Although I liked her big boobs, her thighs were'nt working for me. She may be coked up but damn shes thin. AND I LOVE IT

Graduation

Sat, 27 May 2006 04:42:17 GMT

Its official.

Highschool ended May 25th 2006. It was one of the weirdest (but good) experiences ever. As silly as it may sound- I actually teared when we sang our school song. Hahaha. And knowing that it would be the last time Id walk down those stairs in the basement for a while---I could walk down those stairs blind folded and in ten inch heels

My cousin asked me how I could spend five years in one institution, but in all honesty..They went by pretty quickly.

Congratulations graduates and good luck:)

My dad is a mess in the background. Hahahah aww

We graduated! And we are standing two feet away from the spot we first met that day in 8th grade. Haha

I'll miss the faculty

I CANT BELIEVE THE POKS DONT HAVE A GRADUATION PICTURE TOGETHER but I love you Mandy and you'll do amaaaazing in SC

I cried actually bawled the entire drive home. I kept thinking about all those timse I took for granted that 30 minute drive down south. How much I'll miss the MAMPLASAN exit & petron.

P.s thanks for the disgusting picture dad. But it really captures my sentiments

I'll miss the beef tapa.
I'll miss the cinnamon cookies in the cafe.
I'll miss dalandan shakes.
I'll miss the bacon and eggs from the cafeteria.

Okay I need to stop talking about just the food.

But it really would take all day and all night to list everything that I'll miss-but like Valerie said. After a while you won't 'miss' anymore and you'll just be filled with the great memories. Great memories indeed- thank you.

Thu, 25 May 2006 06:17:01 GMT

Im going to post my pictures in reverse order because I just so happened to upload them that way. And since I just woke up and Im at a loss for words- I'll let the pictures do the talking

Thu, 18 May 2006 04:26:02 GMT

THE EXCITEMENT IS STARTING TO HIT ME. Aside from Spanish on Tuesday I AM DONE WITH HIGHSCHOOL. And I mean that literally and figuratively ;)

I cant waiiiiiiit to go back home.

CANT freaking WAIT.

But yes, of course, its nights like these that I will miss. Eating cheaply, drinking legally, and being in the company of two of the funniest/craziest people out there.

dinner/kwento/drinking/smoking loves of my life

study time break

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 15:51:43 GMT

So I just did a Math Paper 1 and my brain is done for. I really hate math. Almost as much as I hate mayonaise.

Some very late pictures and some very recent ones in this picture post. Basically it starts off with mine and Potter's cam whore sesh while watching APAC soccer, drizzled with a few pictures of Rendell and I at Kaskade, topped with the Guintu's birthday bash at Wasabi.

Notice my stain? Its my accidental tanduay mishap while pouring in the bathroom. After that-we switched to vodka so there are no more stains.

"INIT PARE"
"OO CHONG"

KASKADE:

Rendell, maybe pre-game at Pepato's wasnt such a good idea. Hahaha- cause you end up with pictures like this!

Guitu Celebration:

Stephen is really extra in this picture. Haha

I dont even know.

I really didnt believe the drinks they were serving were strong enough. Or maybe I just became numb to it and they started tasting like water and going down as such too

So I decided to show them how its done.

Bartender: Tama na, masyado na yan
Me: No wag konti na lang
(look at my smile) HAHAHA

Success! By the way, Im available for birthday's, bar mitzahs and even Christmas!

And what's a birthday without a lap dance courtesy of Mariana? Happy Birthday Howard!

Okay I guess it is back to studying. The poks will reunite once again at HUMP 2006 and you have to be there too, you-yes you.

And the countdown begins. 6 more weeks of total hell and than its nothing but mojtos and besitos! Fine, vodka too.

So I just found out that I will be going to the same college as my crush since I first escaped my mother's womb. He's my neighbor and Ive seen him naked, plenty of times. Until we both turned 4. AKSNDAMDNAMSND

omfug81: so where are you going next year?
baby gurl 492: pepperdine, u?
omfug81: no way same
omgfug81: thats nuts

-------------------------------------------

Okay so I hope he doesnt think I pulled a Felicity on his ass. Hahahah

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 01:12:09 GMT

As I start my journey for studying for the IB exams, I just have to say one thing. I know its cliche but last night I guess it sort of hit me:

I, Michelle Marasigan will miss highschool.

Yeah, didnt think so either but I know one thing is for sure-the alcohol will never flow as good as it does in Manila. Where else can you take over a bartenders job and serve vodkasprite- light on a sprite, heavy on the vodka. (And for those of you who drank it, props-Mariana's gag reflexes took over and she couldnt do it HAHA)

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yes, Howards and Harolds birthday celebration at Wasabi was fun. A small-drunk and disorderly gathering is always good right before you sit for the exams of your life.

Quote of the night: Fuck IB

I should take a cue from that person.

And Mr. Walsh's advice to me for the exams: If ever you get nervous during the test, just look over to Carmela who is probably shitting her pants. That has to make you feel a little better.
HAHAH

UGH

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 10:05:47 GMT

I really, for the longest time, tried to pretend it wasnt going to happen, that it was all fake, a disgusting rumor--and not the interesting kind, not the kinds you look forward to on Monday's, or any day for that matter. But the kind that made you shake your head in disbelief yet you knew it was a definite possibility and it made you feel sick.

I clung to the hope that it would change- and I dont know why.

So really.. is it true...

Brent Prom 2006 is in Alabang?

WHY
WHY
WHYYYYYYY

All my plans of renting a limo and taking that nice drive to Makati is shot to hell because its in a hotel that is literally a stones throw from my house. I might as well just ride my bike.. AGAIN.

With only 22 more days of real highschool...

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 15:56:13 GMT

It is shit like this that I will miss..

Michelle says:
Is it one F and you cant graduate?

Michelle says:
Or 2?

Calamar says:
One F

Calamar says:
Or 2 Ds

Calamar says:
Or a GPA lower than 1.54

Michelle says:
GOD YOU ARE AN EXPERT

Calamar says:
I read the handbook in detention today

Calamar says:
I WAS SO BORED

Too bad college won't have detention. How else is Mariana going to get sleep?

saturday night=power hour at Potter's

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 11:35:14 GMT

So with really nothing to do, we had an impromptu drinking sesh at Alex's which resulted in power hour where we ran out of beer so than used Tanduay.

Yeah big mistake.

It was all fun and games until her mom walked into the bedroom which smelt of smoke and we ran into the bathroom (YEAH ALL OF US) as If she wouldn't notice.

Type your cut contents here.
BEFORE WE DIED.

AND WE ARE DONE FOR.

Hello my name is Michelle and when Im drunk I pretend to be the Statue of Liberty and feel like hot shit in it

Who wants to join the club?

unproductive-ness

Sun, 26 Mar 2006 10:49:02 GMT

This weekend was so unproductive it was unbelievable. I guess thats what happens when you get hit by a severe case of senioritis.

It started off with a Friday Cable Car afternoon crunk sesh with Rendell (never order a cherry bomb at 3 in the afternoon), than bike riding/picture montage-ing, and bar hopping in makati with Potter. I dont even remember half of what went on Friday/night, but I do know we didnt make it to Gawad Kalinga-or would have been 4 hours late, rather.

Followed by Saturday night (documented w/ the help of Mariana's excellenttttttt camera) which was spent with the POKS plus one. And whatapimp that plus one was. Haha. Fabulous. Fabulous. Till this wednesday..you whores. ;)

Type your cut contents here.

Saturday at Pontis

Poks, plus one. (Me, Mandy, Mariana, Patra)

Newly single, free to mingle (and drink, and drink, and drink). POK is a trooper.
