     Went out yesterday with Jeffrey, Rhitz and Barry. We met up infront of CSB then rode a jeepney going to CCP. Was there to watch ZSA ZSA ZATURNAH. Wala lang, trip lang namin manood. The play was super funny and a lot of LASALLIANS were there too. Required pala sa mga taga CLA na may subject na GENDERS. Baket kami walang ganun. The play started exactly at 3:00pm. Sobrang hindi dapat kami makakanood dahil puros reserved tickets lang andun... luckily, may nagpareserved na hindi dumating, may ari ng 9 na tickets, binenta na lang sa amin. Bida sa EULA VALDEZ, AGOT ISIDRO, WILMA DOESNT basta, sila lang kasi kilala ko dun and then 2 gay guys hmmm... ehehe... nd ko talaga kilala Mr. T! The play was so gay. It's all about a SUPER HERO... actually, alter-ego nung ZSA ZSA si ADA (a gay parlorista) and then one day may nalaglag na bato sa banyo niya and then dun magstatart ang pagiging ZATURNAH niya. And then yun, it lasted for 3 hours. I'll give it a 4/5 stars. Masaya, laughtrip yung isang bading dun. Grabe sumakit tiyan ko para ng STAND UP COMEDY. Also that day may assignment din si Jeffrey na pumunta sa MEGATRADE HALL sa may MEGAMALL so we accompanied him. Ayun, iniwan muna namin siya dun sa HALL and then the three of us strolled around SM hanggang nabato na kami at tinawagan na si Jeffrey at ayun lumabas na rin sa wakas after mga 30 minutes or more. And then hindi magkasundo kung san kakain so sa FOODCOURT kumain. Sobrang saya nila kasama. Iba talaga feeling na may alam mong may mga kaibigan kang nakakaintindi and can relate to you... ahahah... sometimes I'm thinking hindi kailangan ng ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with the bundle of friends that I have right now. Masaya ko pagkasama ko mga kaibigan ko. Ewan ko ehehe... magvaVALENTINES DAY na kasi. Mga friends ko na lang idedate ko, kami kami na lang kakain sa labas. Grabe patay ang dami kong set of friends. Hmmm... anyways yun, 10pm we already left. Hmm... birthday pala ni LARRY kahapon. Happy Birthday pinsan. Hay... Nakakapagod maglakad Mr. T! pero masaya dahil may kasama naman ako sa paglalakad kahit abutin ng umaga sa paglalakad  basta may kasama ko Mr. T! okay na okay sa kin. Nakasmile ako ngayon hindi ko alam kung baket. Grabe, ang ganda sobra ng story ng JEWEL IN THE PALACE, pero may kulang ata dun sa pinahiram na CD ni ATE DARLENE sa amin. Wahh... ilang araw na kong hindi natutulog dahil dun. Hmmm... ano pa, sayang hindi kami nakanood ng LOVAPALOOZA kahapon ang late late naman kasi marami pa kasing gagawin sina Jeff.

     Hmmm... Adik ako ngayon sa tubig... ahahah. Ay, isang kabaduyan nanood ako ng I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU last Thursday sa CENTERPOINT with KENZO dapat sa SM MANILA eh (grabe bibigyan na naman ng malisya ng mga magbabasa nito ang pangalang KENZO, kaibigan ko lang yan okay) Sobrang impossible yung story ng movie pero may mga kilig moments naman 3/5 Stars. Ayun... wala na kong maisip. Sobrang JEWEL IN THE PALACE-STRUCK pa rin ako. Ay, sana maapprove yung SHIFTING FORM ko Mr. T! I'll pray hard malakas naman ako kay LORD di ba LORD *winks*. Sige hindi ko alam baket ako nakasmile Mr. T! Baliw na ata ako! Nung Tuesday grabe gusto ko na magpakamatay at muntik ng mabaliw.... hay I don't wanna talk about it na lang sumasakit lang ulo ko! Ahahaha... yes! Sa ulo masakit! Since MON-TH nagVIDEOKE kami nina AK, SHERRY and BECK sa MADISON! Addict na addick na kami! Ahahah... Ayun, *Dear Lord hear my plea* <--- narinig ko just now from Just My Imagination. Grabe hindi ko maorganize thoughts ko Mr. T! I think I'm going crazy. Grab oo nga pala, muntik na naman ako masagasaan. Over... Sige update you soon pagulo na ng pagulo sinusulat ko! Love you mwah!

     Hello Mr. T! Together with Sherry and Beck signed-up for the SHARE-YOUR-GREENBLOOD by COSCA. Ayun, but first we had our PHYSICAL EXAMS and X-RAY. We'll be receiving our X-ray results on Wednesday and return to the clinic for the doctor to check-up our private organs *toot toot*. So there, it was fun but unfortunately SHERRY wasn't able to donate her blood because she's going to have an operation by APRIL. The questionnaire for the blood-donation was asking a lot of question and I'm just too lazy to answer them all but I did. Just this da, I found out my Blood Type was TYPE B and all the while I thought I was TYPE A. Hmm... Valentine's here Mr. T! Hindi ko alam ahahah... I'm happy naman kahit walang kadate. It's okay I have my friends.... Hmm... and yes, AK will be running for BATCH REPRESENTATIVE under SANTUGON and Campaign Manager kami and I'll be convincing others pa to be her campaign manager! I know she'll win. Pagnanalo siya sasali na ko sa BATCH ASSEMBLY pero pag hindi ayoko na sumali. Hmmm... what else, tomorrow I'll be accompanying JEFFREY, BARRY and RHITZ naman sa BLOOD DRIVE, pero hindi na ko magpapakuha panonoorin ko na lang sila. Update you soon Mr. T! Love you  

    How and where did VALENTINES DAY originate??? Hmmm... I don't know don't ask me but I remember creating a story with KAROL when we were in GRADE FOUR. Ms. Aguirre asked us to create our own VALENTINES DAY STORY/ORIGIN and we did a story something similar to ROMEO and JULIET but instead they were named VALENTINO and VALENTINA! Ahahaha... we even role played it near the the 3rd floor stairs. The memory is so vivid... ewan ko kung naalala pa ni KAROL! Ahahaha... Valentines Day, others say, for lovers its an occasion while others say singles don't have the right to celebrate it. Hello, I just did celebrate this day. First AK, SHERRY, BECK and I ate at CARA CELINE so parang dun na lang kami nagdate may class pa kasi si SHERRY kaya we had to compromise. And then came BARRY and JEFFREY nung nasa providence na kami. It was cool kahit wala kaming mga minamahal. Except for AK who already has her lover... hmmm. Binigyan nga kanina siya ng CHOCOLATES and regalong BOOK. Inggit ako. Well ayun, and then afterwards I accompanied BARRY to buy flowers for her MOM sa SHANG-RILA but we just went to GATEWAY instead exaj naman kasi yung price ng HOLLAND TULIPS dun! Meron sa GATEWAY pero mas mura so dun siya bumili and so did I. I also bought a boquet for my mom  na binigay niya naman kay LOLA afterwards... eheheh.. I'm happy kahit wala kong lover sometimes it takes to be single (as if nagkaroon na ng ka-ON!). There, happy di ba! Ay si BLES may boyfriend ata and CATHY went home late sa kanila may kadate ata.

  Ayun, kaninang umaga I was so early sa school 7:30am pa lang andun na ko kahit 8:00am pa class ko. Bawal na kasi umabsent or malate! NYAY! Ang saya ng ENGLTRI namin kanina. Si ERICO na crush ni SHERRY ang tahitahimik grabe yung nakita niya before sa LSGH CR. Ahahah... si KRIS pa kalog din. Buti masasaya naging groupmates namin--- and yes, may topic na kami para sa PANEL DISCUSSION--- THE INCREASING RATE OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY kaya tawanan kami ng tawanan habang may class awhile ago. And then COMPRO2 nakakahilo. And then nakita ko si MATTHEW sa may bench sa malapit sa hagdan ng GOX. Grabe ang ingay namin kanina nagkwentuhan. And then ayun kumain na kami nina SHERRY etc. Afterwards dapat sina BARRY and JEFFREY and RHITZ magdodonate ng blood pero si RHITZ lang nakapagDONATE kasi si BARRY may allergy si JEFF naman may sakit this day. So ayun muna ayt Mr. T! I'm so happy today kasi nakapagpasaya ko ng mga tao sa paligid ko. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

     Grabe papasok ako kanina sa school habang nakikinig sa HOW DO I LIVE ni Leanne Rimes at nageemote emote, nang bigla kong malunok ang HALLS na nasa bibig ko! Grabe naubo ubo ko umagang umaga! Grrness... nakakahiya sa mga nakakita!

   I'll update you tomorrow Mr. T! I really do not feel well today. I have colds, cough and fever--- all in one. Hay...

     Garnering 8 Oscar Nominations and 2005 Golden Globes' Best Picture, Brokeback Mountain is really worth watching. Brokeback Mountain is so much more than merely a gay movie. Based on the E. Annie Proulx story about a forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys and their lives over the years. Ennis played by Heath Ledger and Jack played by Jake Gyllenhaal, were both assigned to heard sheep in Brokeback Mountain. One cold morning, the two cowboys suddenly found themselves in the arms of each other which started out as a wrestling match --- and this is where and when their love starts to sprung out. As soon as they were done hearding the sheep, their communication was cut. Fortunately, after more than four years, this two cowboys finally found each other again, both having families of their own, still in love with each other. And from then on, they find time to be together in Brokeback Mountain and that is now where the storyline will revolve. The story becomes more and more complex as characters and events take place.

     Brokeback Mountain perfectly captures what true, unbridled love is all about and this love transcends issues of sexuality or gender. It perfectly makes a new meaning for love --- a force of nature. Indeed, the two cowboys did not force themselves to fall in love with each other since they were not gays at all. But nature allowed it and their urges were rediscovered. Brokeback is not graphic and not a thin line of it is phornographic. It is more of touching the emotional sides of the viewers rather than the visual. There were some dull moments though, too much scenery and landscape scenes making it similarly almost like a MARLBORO CIGARETTE COMMERCIAL. I almost fell asleep during these scenes. Sometimes it takes to be a gay to be able to relate with this kind of movie. I sure was able to relate to it, I just so wish I also have someone in my own Brokeback Mountain. For sure, moralists, Christians and the rest of the society would probably want to ban this because until now this kind of relationship is still unacceptable. But who knows, someday it'll be. Indeed, this movie broke barriers and I'm giving it 4/5 stars!!!

     But before watching the film, everything was a mess. Rhitzjoy had to cut his 3:40pm class, Jeffrey needs to be home before 7:00pm for a family party, Barry forgot the car, and I was freakin' sick. Thankfully we were able to watch and get to GREENBELT 3 on time even when J. P. RIZAL was a hot traffic mess. At first we planned of watching the movie at G4 but we were already 15 minutes late so we resorted to GB3 with a whoping 160php tickets instead of G4's 130php. I felt so poor that I needed to borrow money from Barry and Rhitzjoy. I missed the old days when I was so prosperous. And whoever said that OXEN are lucky this YEAR OF THE DOG!!! Hmph, anyhows, that's all for me right now Mr. T! Hope you liked my entry. I feel better now...

     Nakakalungot yung nangyari sa Brgy. Guinsaugon sa may LEYTE although late na tong news ngayon lang ako nakapagupdate. Hay... tapos may mga nagtetext pa sa ilalim ng lupa na buhay pa sa lupa. Ang  bagal naman ng rescue operation. Kailangan pa natin ng tulong ng ibang bansa. Hay... magdodonate ako ng mga damit na hindi ko ginagamit sa COSCA bukas. Hay... sana may mga buhay pa at maisalba pa ng mga rescuers. God tulungan nyo po sila...

     Celebrated EDS's 19th birthday today, but was due yesterday, at YELLOW CAB. Gosh... did I just eat 4 INCH-LONG PIZZAS??? ahahah... Together with MARVIN, EDS, MARK, SHERRY, AK, BECK we were there UBREAK, around 1:30pm. Before that I was with DECK, AUBREY, ANNE, MATTHEW, ANGELICA... ate at McDonald's around 11:20am. Then was in GOX LOBBY sitting by the LSCS booth stuff. Then had the CT Picture taking... and I really felt weird. And then after EDS's celebration we, SHEY, AK, BECK and MARK, headed for PROVIDENCE and around 5:00pm SHEILA went to see AK then we stayed in McDonalds na naman. :D That's all for now... see you Mr. T! And one more thing, it was real hot today, I wonder why I wore BLACK!!!!

     What's happening Mr. T!? I woke up so excited for my ANMATH2 third exam dahil nag-aral ako ng mabuti at feel na feel kong makakaperfect ako. Baket ganito? Wahh... kung kelan namang sigurado na ko sa test tapos wala pang pasok?!!? First, ERAP was being interviewed sa ABS-CBN and I even heard na magkakapatayan pagnilabas siya sa SJMC (San Juan Medical Center)! Grrness!  Ang labo pa ng NEWS sa ABS-CBN at GMA. Sa ABS-CBN wala raw pasok all levels sa GMA naman Elementary-Highschool lang. So naligo and dressed for school pa rin ako. Then what I did next was to call people on my phone. First was OMAI who texted me early in the morning asking for AK's number, she said there were no classes. And then to confirm I tried calling SHERRY but tulog pa ata. Then I called AK up, wala siyang kaalam alam, kagigising niya lang. And then called RHITZ up and he was in school na but no announcement has been confirmed. Then after 5mins he called, I wasn't able to answer so he texted me na walang pasok. Then, Jasper and I tried fetching KATHLEEN together with JORIEL sa school nila but thankfully nasundo na sila ng SCHOOL SERVICE nila. And then... ayun, had breakfast... ang labo ng PILIPINAS. Ang gulo gulo na pinagugulo pa lalo!!! EDSA1 Anniversary pa naman ngayon! NagEDSA2 na nga wala pa ring pagbabago! Ilang EDSA pa ba para maiba lang sistema dito? I still have hope for this country. I'll never give up believing na someday aayos at magkakaisa din lahat--- especially the POLITICIANS! Damn them! Ang ganda ganda pa naman ng PROBE TEAM last night and it was all about EDSA 1 and the UNITY of the FILIPINO PEOPLE!!! Betchabygollywow! Baket nga ba ganito pa rin?  I'll get back to sleep or yet watch a movie! God help this country... *dozed off*

     Hello Mr. T! I wasn't able to update you yesterday 'coz as soon as I got home I went to bed then snoozed myself off--- I was dead lethargic!  As in really lethargic! First off, we have GLORIA MACAPACAL-ARROYO declaring State of Emergency and I wasn't even aware there was until I woke up awhile ago. Sad to say but I really don't care what's happening around me lately--- politics-wise. It's sad to think until now we haven't learned from our past mistakes. People--- especially those who went out and rallied along EDSA are becoming abusive of what they so-called DEMOCRACY. I think the word DEMOCRACY can now be categorized with HIV, CANCER, BIRD-FLU and other sickness... why? Because it needs a remedy. Naawa na ko talaga sa DEMOCRACY. The meaning of it becomes more and more complex as things and events change/evolve in the country. But I'm still not giving up on this country. I love this country --- wow! Patriotic! Anyways, the reason why I wasn't aware of this Stated of Emergency was because I was with Rhitzjoy and Jeffrey the whole day strolling Gateway and Greenhills. (from left: Me, Rhitz and Jeffrey--- san ka? Ahahaah!)

     After hearing that there were no classes. Jeffrey Rhitz and I immediately planned for an Emergency meeting--- yes we planned of watching a movie. Sadly, Barry wasn't able to come because he was in Marikina with his family. So from there, we planned of meeting at Gateway and coincidentally we rode the same train and wasn't able to see each other. By the way, Jeffrey and Rhitz were already in school when they knew there were no classes and we planned using our phones of course. In Gateway we watched MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA (I'm gonna try to make a review for it). But before watching, since both of them were sporting super big bags, we tried depositing it to a package counter in SHOPWISE since there were no package counters in GATEWAY. Rhitz treated us beverages so as to let the people at the package counter not suspect us of just depositing there things.The movie was to start at 1:10pm and we were already there around 11:30am. So what we did was to stroll along ARANETA CENTER and then there, the movie started. After the movie, around 4:00pm, Jeffrey still did not want to gome so we decided to pay a visit to GREENHILLS SHOPPING CENTER. From CUBAO we rode a bus going SOUTH and in ANNAPOLIS we started our walkathon. That was the first time Jeffrey saw the newly made PROMENADE, the super duper renovated VIRRAMALL and the splendid garden infront of Virra Mall and the Chapel. The first thing we did was to find a package counter again --- you know what happened next.  After depositing their super duper heavy bags, we then find ourselves eating at TOKYO TOKYO. Ang daming inorder nila kaya onti na lang inorder ko. Since it was unlimited rice, ayun, nakikain na lang ako! Then, around 7pm we strolled along GH Shopping Center again. Tumambay sa THEATER MALL, tumingin ng CLOTHES naglaro sa TIMEZONE, nagkapagod sa TEKKEN 5 si JEFFREY and then time for our ultimate challence for the day, DANCE MANIAX 2! I don't get it in DANCE MANIAX, I had higher combos than Jeffrey but still he had greater scores. Rhitz told me that I have to hit EXACTLY at the CENTER of the circle! The computer shouldn't have counted my combos then if I wasn't hitting the exact spot! Unfair! And then, thanks to the call of RHITZ'S dad and JEFF's sis, we had to go. From there I took the bus and so did them. Ortigas was so wide when I was on my way home. It was like I went home around 1am in the morning coz there was no traffic but the time was just 8:00pm! Ayun, Rhitz (Pasay) and Jeff (Alabang) got home around 9:00pm--- the fastest they ever made so far in their lives I guess! That's all for now Mr. T! Love you lots! Mwah... and oh... sad Mang Rudy is out of Big Brother's house... oh well. Kawawa nga naman siya. And... goodness, I heard the recent WHITNEY HOUSTON performance--- goodness! Her current state of voice won't even pass for an amateur singing contest. I wish her good health! Anyways, bye for now Mr. T! :)

October Affair by John Jacob Webb

I've been taking chances
On romances
Once or twice
Even thrice

One October morning
Came a dream
Started too soon
Ended too soon

Chorus:
I woke up one November
To you I surrendered
We should have never
Pretended we were lovers
After all
We can't be together

Behind these laughing eyes
Are mysteries
They are scared
To love too soon

There ain't no way
I am gonna cry
I'll hold you
Just to kiss goobye

...we can't be together

     Nominated for 6 Oscars and based on the best-selling novel by Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha really deserves to be nominated with such nominations. Depicting Japanese culture, different geisha stereotypes and even how World War II changed the world, Memoirs of a Geisha is more than just these. It's a story about a girl who became orphaned, spurred out to be one of Japan's most celebrated geishas. How she struggled and became aware of how geishas live their life. The story started with the actors speaking in Japanese which only translates that the main character, together with her sister was being sold to a geisha house. The main character, Chiyo, since she and her sister were brought to different geisha houses, tried to look for each other. Somehow, destiny was kind to them because when they got to see each other, they planned of escaping the city. Unfortunately, Chiyo fell from the roof while escaping, that's now where all her agonies will begin. With her sister gone and a news that her parents died, Chiyo became a house-servant in the geish house. Mameha, played by Michelle Yeo, during that time was the most beautiful geisha. She then later adopted Chiyo then trained her to be a geisha. And from then on, Chiyo changed her name to Sayuri and then later became the most celebrated geisha in their city. And from here, rivalry, hidden love, politics and war will all make the story complicated.

     Not reading the book will make someone not fully understand the movie. I did not read the book so I had a hard time connecting events from previous events. The character names were so forgettable cause they where in Japanese and also the fact that I'm not good with name recalling. Another factor that made me not fully understand the flow of the movie was the accents of the Asian actors. Sometimes when the talk, it's as if they where really speaking Japanese. The costumes and make-ups were realistic and will make someone appreciate Japanese culture. The story also defends the stereotypes about geishas. Geishas are not high class prostitutes. And according to Mameha, geishas are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty. The very word "geisha" means artist and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art. The movie tells it the way it is. There were rarely sex scenes and if there were, it's because men looked at them as an expensive pieces of art. They did not sell their bodies but they sold their skills, their music, and their dances and with these, men were enraptured by them. All in all, the narrator, old Chiyo left these words; she paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes are deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances, she sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows, the rest is secret. And in my case, I sometimes feel I'm a geisha in my own right. I try to conceal what's inside my heart with my smiling face. I sometimes live up to the standards and expectations of the people around me-- and yes, sometimes I really do not have a reason why I do these. My judgement, 3.5/5 stars!!!

Quotable Quotes: "She paints her face to hide her face" by Sayuri

     Hello Mr. T! Wala na namang pasok kanina because of the MARINES' COMMOTION. You know what? Sobrang thankful ako because just awhile iCadge (Internet Cafe near us) was robbed! Yes, even the customers inside it were robbed too! Thankfully I wasn't there. There were reports that the phones, money and gadgets were also robbed from the customers. Hay, I pitty those people who were there and especially to the cashier who was said to be in a risky condition because he was hit by a gun and no bleeding occured and that's life-threatening daw. I did nothing today Mr. T! Just watched MEAN GIRLS (cool cool movie, starring LINDSAY LOHAN)on DVD. It's now one of my favorite movies na! And then went to the parlor with my mom. She had her nails done and I was there chitchatting with the people inside. And yes the ultimate kalat challenge... ang kalat kanina sa labas. Lagot sa kin yung mga batang nagkalat!!! Okay that's all for now. Salamat naman at tapos na yung kaguluhan nung mga MARINES sa FORT BONAFACIO. Shucks, nakakahiya yung mga POLITICIANS na pumunta doon yesterday! Malamang nasa isip nila na maari na naman magkaroon ng PEOPLE POWER dun kasi it works well pagsumama ang militar sa mga ganun! Unfortunately, naresolve agad... yuch sina CORY, GUINGONA, AIMEE, TITO SOTTO and others --- how opportunistic can you get! They fell flat on their faces siguro nung naresolve yun at nung hindi sila pinapasok sa loob! Blah to politics talaga! I learned something today, pagtinaype mo to sa MS WORD "=rand(200,99)" tapos ENTER, it will print the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog in 235 pages! Even Bill Gates daw can't explain this--- hmm, impossible!  I'll update you soon Mr. T! Mwah!

   Hello Mr. T! Musta? Nakapasa ko sa pagshift ko to ICTM and right now, i don't know if I'm gonna be happy or sad. I'm confused. Anyway, here's the letter...

oh ha....  ehehe... i have mixed feelings about confirming. But I'm really thankful to God na kahit ang baba ng CGPA ko He granted me this. And oh, TITO OSCAR is already home. Nakauwi na siya from HOLLAND AMERICA LINE.

Hay, si AK pasaway!!! Read below (excerpt):

AK: ayan pala ang malabo..so pwede ka ba maging superstar campaign officer namin???
Jacob: SUPERSTAR CAMPAIGN OFFICER???  <--- as in ganyan? lolz
AK: ganyan!!! dagdagan mo pa ng stars!
Jacob: baket may superstar? naloka bangs ko
AK ayan ang bangs... kasi ikaw yung magsasabi ng "good morning, i'm jacob webb from partido santugon sa tawag ng panahon and i'm here to present to you our best bets and your best bets for the upcoming student council general elections"

and ang sagot ko:

Jacob: adik ka?
AK: ano ka ba...ikaw ang best bet ko. oh duhbuh
Jacob: deadma! fine para sa yo!
AK: ayan..tuwa naman ako!!! yehey!!!!!!!!!

     Hay, I'll do anything for a friend. Basta sa ikabubuti ng marami I'll be behind AK's back. I know she can definitely do it! Sobrang taas ng tingin ko sa babaeng yan!

     I went to buy sa BOOKSALE sa SM CENTERPOINT awhile ago ng bagong issue ng ICON. Si ANDREW WOLF yung cover. The pictures are good but the stories inside are not worth reading. Pinakamaganda pa rin ung issue with BRENT JAVIER sa cover. Ayun, the magazine has IC MENDOZA in it, successful gays and lesbians, interview with Andrew, Homoscope and a lot more. Somehow worth buying naman siya kasi ultimate crush ko si Andrew as of these moments. Ayun, and then pagkauwi ko andito yung kapatid ni MABEL si MAY with her BABY named JANET. Goodness, and cute nung bata! Taba taba tapos puti puti. Parang DOLL! And kamukha nila KATHLEEN and KOBE. They're cousins anyways kaya may similarities. Ang cute grabe! Anyways, that's all for today. I still have to review more for ANMATH2 Quiz 3 tomorrow. The long-overdue Quiz (should have been last FRIDAY!).  I love ya, I appreciate ya, I enjoy ya Mr. T!!! Mwah!
