i'm still here

[callista]

Long time no blog. Real life caught up to me real fast as soon as I got back to Singapore; midterms galore were all I had to look forward to. As expected, my little vacation was much too short and I almost didn't want to leave. As they say, home is where the PS2 is :P And now I won't be going home for another 4 months (instead of 2) because I'll be going to Canada for exchange; I'm trying not to think about the 2 months of PS2-ing and UP-visiting that I'll miss. And all because I just randomly told my dad that Cassy and Gail wanted to go to Toronto this summer because of some exchange thing and I went along to the briefing despite not being interested. And now I'm the only one actually going to Toronto (Gail's going to Waterloo, Cassy to China and South Korea). Honestly, I don't really want to go, but I'm a bit lacking in reasonable excuses (PS2 and UP aside). Besides, it'll probably be a good opportunity for me to stop being so antisocial (I think the term used was "cliquish"). And who knows, maybe I'll meet a good-looking, smart, charming, rich, *insert more desirable qualities here* Canadian guy :P

I feel like such a bum. My "Hell Week" ended today, so of course I spent the last couple of hours playing with my birthday gift:



I wonder if I should name it (like Chimoms' Macbook). For those of you who watch Bleach, I found myself reminded of Rukia's zanpakutou, Sode no Shirayuki. I thought about calling it Yuki (snow in Japanese), but I kept imagining either Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura (not necessarily a bad thing) or Yuki Eiri from Gravitation (ICK. As much as I like yaoi, this anime is just plain annoying >_<).

Yay, we're going to watch "300" tomorrow. The trailer really got me, especially King Leonidas' lines ("Madness? This is Sparta!"). I hope it's as good as it seems. It kinda reminds me of "Lord of the Rings" (probably because of the troll-like things and the men with piercings), which could be both good and bad; the LotR similarity makes me want to watch it, but it might raise my expectations too much. Not really a good reason to watch a movie but then again, Cassy only wants to watch it because of Gerard Butler (title role in "Phantom of the Opera" and King Leonidas) :P I hope it's not too gory, though. Even the official site is bloody; blood spurts out when you hover over the various icons o_o

I should go eat dinner now. Cecilia and I still have a lab report to do. A Life Science student's work is never done :\

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

300 was good. gory and bloody and full of unnecessary nudity, but still good. quoting cassy (who said this after the first nude scene), "so THAT'S why it's the ultimate guy movie.."

Ugh you're going to Toronto?? WHY NOT VANCOUVER!! T_______T

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

there were only 3 universities available, and the 2 that were in Canada weren't in Vancouver (Toronto and Waterloo) ^^;;

[azra-il.livejournal.com]

Urgh :(

"And who knows, maybe I'll meet a good-looking, smart, charming, rich, *insert more desirable qualities here* Canadian guy :P"

Very doubtful. Be realistic. I mean, hmm, 3 out of 5 of said traits. Not bad.:P

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

are you saying you know someone with 3 out of 5 of those traits? who?? :P

[half-elven17.livejournal.com]

me

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

haha. no, really, who? :P

[half-elven17.livejournal.com]

yes, really, me.

btw, your mom gave a lecture to our class. hahaha.

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

my mom? what class was that?

[half-elven17.livejournal.com]

IDC 101.

ask her if she remembers the cute, charming, smart, and intelligent boy sitting at the back. hahahaha.

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

kindly translate for those of us who have not had the pleasure of encountering the UP system :P

i'll be sure to ask her if she noticed anyone sleeping at the back of the room.

[half-elven17.livejournal.com]

um. it's introduction to patient care. believe me, i'm wondering where the "d" in idc came from.

i wasn't sleeping lah. hahaha.

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

i wasn't sleeping lah. hahaha.

the "lah" and the laugh really don't make your statement any less suspicious than it already is :P

[half-elven17.livejournal.com]

... ask your mother...

i speak the truth.

[zen-jase05.livejournal.com]

Take a few seconds to think about it, its a tip of your tongue thing.:P

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

Waaah. Good luck sa Toronto! :D Anong name ng exchange program niyo? NTU's GIP and INSTEP are super-expensive ;__;

At bakit ayaw mo ng Gravitation? Cute naman si Yuki ah. At si Tohma na rin =P At Rukia's zanpakutou = prettiness ^^

(At whoa, may LJ na ako! XD)

--Athina :)

*add kita ha?*

[gaerielcallista.livejournal.com]

salamat! :) hmm ang tawag ata sa exchange program na 'to ay Science Summer Exchange Program (SCI SEP). offered lang siya sa faculty of science students pero di naman kailangan science modules ang itake mo. sagot nila yung tuition fees pero kami bahala sa lahat ng ibang gastos (airfare, accommodation, etc.). mga S$6000+ ata kailangan naming gastusin.

para sa akin, nasira ang Gravitation dahil kay what's-his-name (yung pink-haired uke guy). i have nothing against gay people (i AM a yaoi fan, after all), but this guy is damn annoying >_< i would actually like Yuki better if he wasn't so.. cruel. and i don't remember who Tohma is :P

welcome to LJ! yay add na rin kita :)

[shinigami39.livejournal.com]

Eeeek. Buti pa kayo, covered ang tuition >__>;; Sa amin, hindi eh =|

Ahahaha. Yay, yaoi fan! Me too! :D (Haha, I'm too happy to find yaoi fans na kakilala ko :D)
