In the pool of people's names, my name Kei is often the shortest and simplest. "Not Just A Letter" emphasizes that my persona, in contrast to the letter "k" hinted by my name, is neither typical nor ordinary. There are exciting (and sometimes out of this world) twists and turns in who I am and what I do. I hope you follow my journey in illustrating myself using an electrifying medley of letters (and a keyboard) as my tool.

"dba may ulo iyon?" - wahahaha

this situtation where i am in right now a.k.a. nothing-to-do-mode is frightening. the past three months have been incredibly stressful, so i don't know why the hell i have nothing to do today.

i'm thinking that it's all an evil plot. that the teachers are laughing at us behind our backs because when these idle days are over, they will metamorphosize once again into the evil spawns of the devil. they will once again drown us with soooo many homeworks that we would be grasping for air. they will once again force feed us with sooo many information that we would be fraught not to vomit all those that could no longer be digested. okay. so the images i'm creating are pretty disgusting. but, it's the tragic truth. T_T

but what the hell. why not make the most out of this carefree days, right? and pray that next week won't be too bad. O.O

haha, so on a more positive note, here's an 'icebreaker' before i blog about the really fun (but short) day i had yesterday. it's called naughty nature. hahaha. (now, i deserve that adult content warning. haha. that's a joke btw. kinabahan kayo noh? hahaha.)

Naughty Nature 1


Naughty Nature 2


Naughty Nature 3

Naughty Nature 4





HAHAHA. since i'm too innocent, i can't seem to decipher that these images are. haha. Mother Nature, you have a naughty side pala ah... tsktsk... hahaha. ingatz. baka magkaroon ng baby earth. O.o

SO ANYWAY, i used this as an introduction because it's related to what happened yesterday. hahaha. labo. the agenda yesterday was to find bamboos for sabayan. someone informed us beforehand that we could buy one in maple st., greendwoods village, pasig. we started out only with this info.
the night prior to this was CRAZY. it was the most bangag confe ever. haha. i was on a sugar high because my mom who just came from hong kong brought home some cherries (as in the genuine one. not the bottled ones they sell here in the philippines which taste like crap). cherries are my WEAKNESS. i first tasted the genuine kind last summer at the states. and i instantly got addicted to it. they're soooo good. they're nothing like the fake crap they put on cakes. so when my mom told me she had cherries, i dived for it in her maleta and ate to my heart's desire on our way home from the airport. omg. saying that i ate a million cherries that night would be an understatement. hahaha. so naturally, when we had the confe when i arrived home, i was on an intensified sugar high. i was just plain crazy. hahahaha. you should never see me 'live' when i'm on sugar high. it will stain my family's reputation forevermore. hahaha.
our meeting place was krispy kreme (not treats this time for some reason). when i arrived, there were already four people (lisette, romano, jones, and earl). they were talking about the closing of the olympics which i unfortunately missed. they were also talking about how manila is planning to host the olympics on 2024 or something. haha... i doubt it's possible though.
then at some point during the 'breakfast meeting' (i dare not be more specific), i found something extremely.... uhm. hahahaha. there are no words to describe it (well, actually there are but i dare not put down those words). lisette "found" it first, and we instantly had a connection because she told me about it before. hahaha. the two of us burst out laughing while the others stared blankly at us. then gela (the next victim) "found" it also. and she joined us in our laughing. haha. one by one, people started to get it (especially when we gave such obvious clues). hahahaha. i haven't laughed that hard for a long time. ohmaygad. for clarification's sake, i was not making eye contact! kahit may ulo pa siya. HAHAHA. if you don't get it, trust me, you're lucky. pero kung gus2 mo tlga magets, use context clues. haha. ay actually, dba cnabi ko na related ung ano... basta. hahahahahahaha. lalala.

hay. the kabaliwan and kabastusan didn't end there. we were really crazy in allan's van. haha. grabe talaga ung greenwoods na un. magkano kayang gas ang nasayang namin dun? we were going round and round for a really long time without going anywhere. we couldn't find that damn
MAPOL street. hahaha. after ten years of laughing, we finally found it but we couldn't find the "store" selling bamboo. after ten more years, we finally found it. haha. i never knew bamboo could be so cheap. all that bamboo for only 120 pesos is such a bargain. i guess. haha. thank god for allan's heaven-sent driver. haha.
so after that, we went to high street again to 'plan'. we ate at oliver's. almond cajun chicken (or something like that) sandwich was yummy. KU-KUM-BER daw? hahaha. ang sama tlga.
ayun, sorry nirush ko na lang ung kwento. sayang, marami pa akong hindi na kwento na funny moments. haha. 10:26 na kasi e. may practice pa bukas. hahaha. tae.
*P.S. there's something wrong with the spacing again. grr.

a bizarre post

a proverb that i read (naks) in a book which i unearthed underneath the mess that is my desk just this morning got me thinking. people that gossip to you gossip about you. as much as i want to think that this particular statement is an exception to the so called "wise sayings", a part of me already knows that it's indeed a scientific fact - one that could not be less factual than the setting of the sun.

a week ago, a close friend and i had a really meaningful conversation of how bad the situation of backstabbing is in our class. those who never heard of the heinous crime of stabbing someone behind the back are now getting accustomed to it. those who were once apprentices are now masters. those who were born masters are continuously recuiting apprentices. i don't want it to sound like some illegal underground organization that sells drugs but it's exactly what this is becoming. like drugs, backstabbing could be addicting. let's face it, laughing at people behind their backs is fun. it's euphoric. it could be compared to the feeling of being high. once you're drawn to it, it's hard to break free. the bad part is everyone's already an addict. i'm a backstabber. he's a backstabber. you're a backstabber. she's a backstabber. we're all backstabbers. what's worse than that is that we backstab each other. we're a community of backstabbers backstabbing each other.

of course, one can easily say backstabbing is normal. it's a part of life. yes, this may be true. but not if you backstab every time you come together as a group. not when you backstab every single day. not when you're so addicted to it that you can't stop. not when you do it everytime you can't do anything else.

i admit that i'm a backstabber. probably a pretty bad one. what prompted me to write this wasn't anger. i didn't write this just now because someone told me that i was being backstabbed. i wrote this because i won't wait when that time comes. i know a lot of pretty bad backstabbers who are also being backstabbed. i know a lot of people who think that some people are their friends. but the truth is that these "friends" are the ones backstabbing them. believe it or not, i know some people who have been friends for years who are backstabbing each other. that's pretty sad right?

the only way to stop this is [of course] to stop the vicious cycle of backstabbing. if you backstab, there's a good chance people are backstabbing you. i know that the people in our class have good hearts. these people are helpful, generous, honest, funny, and generally kind. the only real problem is the backstabbing.

until know, i don't know that made me write this. i just feel like it for some reason. haay. haha. i know i'm not the kind of person who would publish this kind of post. i usually post jokes, funny events, humorous moments.... i'm usually the person who's always optimistic and can find time to laugh even at the most stressful moments. and that's probably why i wrote this. i don't want all our good times as a class go to waste because of the horrible backstabbing.

just my two cents. :D
besides, i doubt anyone still checks on my blog. it's been extict for 2 months. haha. it'll probably be a long time before anyone gets to read this. if you do, don't tell anyone i posted such a weird post. please? haha. i hope you take part in doing something about the backstabbing though. ^_~
