inside the museum

The Louvre, in its successive architectural metamorphoses, has dominated central Paris since the late 12th century. Built on the city's western edge, the original structure was gradually engulfed as the city grew. The dark fortress of the early days was transformed into the modernized dwelling of François I and, later, the sumptuous palace of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Here we explore the history of this extraordinary edifice and of the museum that has occupied it since 1793.

looooveit!

PS. Happy Birthday Dear Mommy! loveyou! *keeees*

You should know by now..

(random things about me)

1. I hate mascots and clowns.
- Mascot (jollibee, Grimace..) they've been scaring me to death since I was a kid. :(( and now, I still can't understand why children loves them and why parties aren't complete without their colourful costumes, exagge make-ups, fancy wigs and super babaw na magic. waaaah.

2. I daydream alot.
- Im weird because I daydream? Maybe!! Bacause im always confused with random thoughts. haha! There are just some things worth thinking of. Like.. Like.. secret! :-D so if someone saw me smiling and looking from afar with sparkling eyes., haha! you'll know for sure that something is up and maybe (just maybe) im dreaming that im awake. :-)

3. MeeeeMorize.
- They told me na magaling daw ako mag-memorize: names, faces, places, lyrics.. name it. even the 2nd grade poem na pina-memorize sakin ng teacher ko, kabisado ko pa rin til now. hehe! :) pati lahat ng songs ng The Moffatts, Spice Girls, Aaron Carter, Backstreet boys, Eraserheads and Incubus (yung mga songs dati ha!!) im so jologs pala! pati kabisado ko lahat ng dreamsounds (wave 89.1 and some emo songs sa magic 89.9) --> nung gradeschool -HS pa yan ha. haha! and even yung mga strangers na nakakasakay ko pag nagcocommute ako, natatandaan ko mukha nila pag nakikita o nakakasakay ko ulit sila. Alright! Jologs and weird.

4. I never believed in fairy tales -Yen!
- me too. but this I know for sure: Someday my Prince will come and we'll live happily ever after. :-D

5. I read alot.
- Books (no question about this!) and BLOGS of other people.. important and not-so-important people ha. I visit Bianca G's, Ala Paredes', Cj's and Jessica Zafra's blog. and ofcourse, my looooooooong-lost crush's blog na nasa law school na! mygosh. he's super talino kaya i enjoy reading his entries. salamat at naibemto ang blogger and multiply.

6. I used to hate coffee.
- Did you know na 20 y/o na ako nung una akong nakatikim ng coffee? akala ko kasi kadiri ang lasa.. and parang hindi ko ma-gets kung bakit laging ganun yung iniinom ng mga tao pag breakfast. there's always a first time for everything: so first time ko sa Mcdo while having my pancakes.. nakiinom lang ata ako kay nell or jayvee ng coffee nila na pinilit pa ako. haha. the taste wasn't bad after all pala. And now im addicted to the smell and taste of aroma. imagine, I waited for 20years before I discovered na masarap and relaxing pala siya :)

7. I never liked drinking milk.
- 2 years old ako nung nagstop ako i-formula feed (Promil kid!) haha. :-D but my tita doctor changed my milk. waaaah. From Promil to Anchor! Putcha, til now nalalasahan ko pa rin ang lasa nya! Yun ang pinaka-ayokong drink. MAJOR KADIRI!! eeewwwww! nanginginig ako pag naaalala ko yung taste ng milk. haha! Basta, kahit anong klaseng milk yan.. ayoko! ayoko! at ayoko! when I was a kid, pinipilit nila ako painumin ng milk even chocolate drinks like sustagen, milo and ovaltine. umiiyak pa ako kasi ayoko talaga.. tapos pag hindi sila nakatingin, tinatapon ko. hehe :)

8. Critiquing.
- Waaaah. I have a classic taste in Movies, Clothes, Music, Places, Food, Books, Furnitures blahblah.. and pag hindi nila na-meet ang standards ko, ayoko sa kanila. Their ratings are either 100 or 0. Pag sinabi kong maganda, maganda. yun lang yon.

9. I think Politics are exciting.
- Though I find it boring at times.. They're quite exciting and fun. and i know kung saan at kanino ako kakampi. Oust Gloria!! :-D

10. When I say im going to do something, I do it.
- Whatever that is. and I even take walks by myself. Recently, pumunta ko kila yen (Project 8, Tandang Sora!) and ayooooon. naligaw lang naman ako. just before that, kausap ko si je sa phone around 5pm and i told her na may gusto akong gawin. so.. after the talking.. i took a bath and rushed to glorietta para ma-change yung size ng pants ko. then sumakay ng BUS from ayala to monumento. anak ng... sa monumento nga ako bumaba! haha. ang layo ko na, mygosh. and first time ko lang ata mkarating dun. so.. 11pm na yun and naka-shorts and sleeveless pa ko. :-D naiiyak na ko kasi wala akong idea kung nasaang lupalop na ako ng pilipinas. and mga lasing ata napagtanungan ko. gurabe!! kagulyow.. daming tao na parang market pa at hindi nila alam kung saan yung tinatanong ko. i rushed sa other side of the road, thank god.. may taxi na dumaan. naiyak ako nung natungtong ako sa bahay nila yen. haha. i got home at around 1am. :)

11. I can live with bread alone.
- I love BREADS (ilove money too!) haha. lahat ng taong kilala ako alam na mahilig ako sa tinapay or anything na may dough and sweets. :)) I love auntie anne's pretzels, cello's doughnuts, jamaican pattie, hot chic sa breadtalk.. BREADTALK! BREADTALK! pan de coco, donut sa bakery malapit sa amin., chocolate marble sa Del Monte, QC bakeshop, and ofcourse, my favorite: Kopi Roti's kopi bun and kaya toast :) yung cake, blueberry cheesecake, mango cream pie, cakes sa chocolate kiss. at maraming marami pang iba. :-)

12. I find death, souls, life, psychism and tarot cards scary but really interesting.

13. Easily distracted.
- and I get anxious pag na-ddistract ako.

14. Im easy to please.
- No wonder why people pleases me. :-D Joke!

15. I am hygiene freak.
- I love the feeling of being clean, fresh and mabango.

16. Im always late.
- Count me in.. Late nga lang. as if! what's new?

17. My favorite subjects are:
History and Philosophy.. I used to hate our Philosophy of Humanities Professor in Trinity coz he's super strict na sometimes ayaw na namin talaga pumasok. But that subject really helped me alot.. basta. ang dami kong natutunan.. in philosophy of life, love, death, souls and some things are really intersting. Aside from Philo, my heart goes out for Microbiology (should i disagree?), Anatomy and Physiology & Pathophysiology. Gaaaah. I never thought I'd consider those 3 major subjects in my top list. and oh, I hate Pharmacology. haha. :-)

18. I miss school.
- I never thought I'd say that. Kasi pag nag-sschool ka pa, gusto mo na agad mag-work. Pero pag graduate ka na, hindi mo naman alam kung anong step ang gagawin mo. Parang gusto mo na lang bumalik ulit.. pero ayoko. :) labo! i missed school and everyone else! :-D Boohoo!


The shorter story.

- Kumain ng lala (yung fish cracker, hindi yung chocolate ni khaloi!) ang sarap pampulutan!! woohoo. naalala ko tuloy nung kumain kami ng lala kila nell sa taytay. sabay-sabay pa kami nila ralph at nell ngumuya. parang sinusuction yung tunog. tas naglaro kami (sep, je, nell, ralph, reg at al): pagalingan kumain ng lala! dapat walang tunog pag nginunguya. haha. ang hirap ah!! wala tuloy nakagawa. haha.

- Nagsimba sa UP kanina (lunes ngayon!) ang sarap mag-mass dun sa church na bilog (Our Lady of Sacrifice). konti yung tao. tahimik. malamig.. parang pasko na kulang na lang parol. tas may batang nagbebenta ng pang-ipit sa labas ng simbahan., e bihira lang ako kung mag-ipit ng buhok, pag sobrang init lang. e hindi ako bumili.. sabi niya pahingi daw kahit konting barya pambili ng isang kilong pansit para sa birthday ng kapatid niya. e 3 piso na lang barya ko kaya binigay ko na. sana nakatulong pandagdag sa pansit. nakakaawa naman. naisip ko, maswerte pa rin pala talaga ako.

di bale, pag yumaman ako.. tutulungan ko kayo lahat. okay ba yun? ang dami ko talaga gustong gawin sa buhay koooo! :-D

- Sayang wala ako naabutang avocado & strawberry ice cream sa UP.. late na kasi eh. di bale, next time. :(

- May ginagawa akong entry (naiyak nga ako habang ginagawa ko yung first part). haha. by decemeber ko na lang siguro ippublish, mahaba kasi tska hindi pa tapos.


If it wasn't this.. It'd be something else.

Not ours to know the reason why unanswered is our prayer.. but ours to wait for God's own time to lift the cross we bear.

We must leave the unknowable to the all-knowing one. He is listening and working things out His way.

Sometimes the road ahead is paved with anything but good intentions.

Gotta have faith. :-D


Yun lang.

Haaaaaay nako! nakakatamad.
and hey, I guess im okay na.
