Here are some quotes from the book (can you guess? Coz, I ain't telling. Clue though...Mizuage) that I liked...when I read the book again, maybe I'll add more. ;P
"...what life could I have? I would be like a dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give." ~p.406
" 'I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting I seek to defeat his confidence. a mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals-true equals-only when they both have equal confidence.' " ~p.377
"Nowadays many people seem to believe their lives are entirely a matter of choice; but in my day we viewed ourselves as pieces of clay that forever show the fingerprints of everyone who touched them."

my Blog description...
Invictus ~William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced, nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tear,
Looms the horrors of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matter not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul!
~Invictus -Latin for 'Unconquerable'
~it fits, doesn't it? I've been trying to find a poem or quote that would describe why I named my blog 'Captain'...thank goodness my blockmate knew of this. Yippee!

Why one gets breathless...
It just came to me, okay. So no more thinking on how this came to be.
6 Reasons why one gets breathless when one has their first kiss
6 Reasons why one gets breathless when one has their first kiss
- All that anxiety, nerves, impatience, fear piling up as those lips begin to reach yours and when its finally done, of course you feel breathless.
- Neither of you had let up till you really had no oxygen left in you.
- You have asthma, and you just had to choose to be an that dusty storage room/janitor's room/closet.
- You just saw your parents behind his/her back and they're looking straight at you. Begin the hyperventilation (or just gasp. Or maybe or your too shocked, eh?)
- You just saw his/her parents behind his/her back and they're looking straight at you. (Same as above)
- Both your parents as well as his/hers are staring at you. Plus they the kiss was number two. (With that, I say good luck.)
Any suggestions? Thoughts? If you do, leave a comment. ;P
And ignore the fact that I don't seem to be the type of person who makes this kind of post.
Ciao.

If...
If…
If I were the rain…
…that binds together the earth and the sky,
whom in all eternity will never mingle…
…would I be able to bind two hearts together?
~anybody recognize this one?

recognition
Can anybody recognize this? It sounds...
Nobody knows who I really am...
I never felt this empty before.
And if I ever need someone to come along...
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?
That's it. No more. :) Now guess.

extend...lunge!
Fencing.
Sigh, hard work on the legs. And I've just come to the conclusion I've known all along...I have very, very little stamina. Walking distances is easy enough. It's just walking but really working my legs in that (en guarde) position and going lower, lower, forward, retreating and again...and again. Sigh...and this without the jacket and foil yet. So sweaty, and I forgot to bring my water bottle. Sheesh...
Hooboy...I am so glad I have an hour and a half break between PE and Fil. And the dorm being so close I can freshen up before Fil. Haha!

Past: Saturday, it was my pretty little niece's birthday -the ever adorable Nicole Alexis! =^-^=
Now two years old, her charming self has grown ever more. Sigh...I miss her already...
Present: Nov. 14 '05 -first day of classes this second semester. New teacher in Lit [looks like our old one pushed though with what he'd said "drop us," I mean -were we that bad, teach?]. New subjects/courses -Zoo (lec&lab), and then tomorrow, PE121 [that's the course code for Fencing (Women) sec. N] and Fil11 and Ma11 -these two because (obviously) I was basic last sem (Fil1...Ma1).
Now: Er, bored...nothing to do so why not post here, eh? ~_^

Was in Baguio...now am not
Time Started I:17pm
Haven't posted anything my whole sembreak..haha.
Nothing really happened anyway. Played golf...well, actually we (my y. bro and me) just went to the drive. Once. Got lazy to wake up early for proper games..hehe. Was just informed instead that Ateneo sucked during the annual tournament with La Salle.
Halloween was fun too. :D My cute nephew and niece were so...cute! >.<>The other kids were looking good too. I wanted a face paint dang it..oh well...can't have everything you want.
Hmm...onto my trip to QC. Was able to pack ALL my stuff (one box, four shopping bags full of my shoes and other stuff [folders of shtuff], one big duffel bag for my clothes as well as another backpack, my laptop, three plastic bags of books [this was the kinda-big one] and CDs for the other two...and my laptop...yeah that was it) and did so in just a few hours! Ha! Speed-packing!! I even had another hour to spare before the trip. Bwahahaha!!! XD XP
Now onto today...let's see...found my name on the hold order list...found out it was because of an I.D. violation [what happened was that my I.D. somehow snuck into my shirt when I sat down and I didn't notice it till the guard stopped me in my tracks...I'd thought it had dropped somewhere and obviously the guard didn't believe (**** ***) and I almost gone right back up four flights of stairs when it! peeked out of my shirt and so when I went back to Mr. Guard-in-front-of-the-canteen and explained (lied...it's embarassing I didn't notice it was tucked up my shirt) that I'd found it, he just looked at me with eyes that screamed "Yeah, right!"...sheesh...blasted circumstances! Blasted shirt!!!!]....wrote a letter of apology: *edited* Took it out. All you need to know ish that I shounded pathetic...well, not really...but I don't want this reminder glaring at me. -_-'

****here lay the letter, now deleted for the better*****
...and so I got my confirmation slip...and got my papers in Escaler Hall...my QPI is 2.2...no Ds or Fs...thank goodness...I was actually expecting one...and I'm sure that if my Fil and Math weren't basic I might have had those Ds or Fs....sigh...Good thing that came out of all of this? I didn't have to wait in line...well, in giving my letter I did..but it still was a whole lot shorter than the line in Cov Courts...HAHAHAHA!!!! >:D
Anyway, nothing much to say now...except:
"Dang it! Haven't eaten a thing since 6pm yesterday (during a break on the trip coming here, I mean)."
Time Finished (check the post date...duh) -->Whoa...I type so slowly... -_- sheesh...
excuse my typos if you see them or if there are any. :) I wrote in a hurry.

Launch
Arrival: 10:28pm on the others side of the road
HA! I made it to Katips with 30minutes to spare before the curfew!!! Hahahahaha!!
To my kin (if you're reading this): Yes, I know...my studies first and all that. I don't mean to sound bratty here but...I needed a break and my homework's almost done anyway. So chill, alright?
Anyway, about the launch it was okay...I risked getting spoiled (and had in fact heard two spoilers!!! Dang! I could have avoided it, but it was too late... T-T ...oh well, I guess my luck wasn't with me...) but the lure of it all had already chained me since last week so there was no helping it. It was fun still (even with the low attendance...it is finals week after all, and a work day at that).
About the book (Knife of Dreams if you still didn't know...[8- I'm rolling my eyes at those who actually didn't (O_o)] I find the Orbit edition has a better cover for me coz...(you wanna know the truth?) I don't like TOR's art. Sure, it's cool in a way..but..no...it just doesn't cut it for me...but then again, it's just me and its my boat floating here (obviuosly alluding to the saying "whatever floats your boat").
There were two cosplayers at the launch. A Nyneave and Lan...so cool...and I like the sword dude, it was wicked cool. Wish I held it. Oh well. >.<>.< :D
Well, can't say much anymore...too lazy...and I've to finish my papers...Baaaaad me, skipping out on my homework for Wheel of Time...really bad...XD oh well, it's too late to change it! Ha-ha! ;P :)

Yesterday and today
[TUESDAY]
Fil Exam: it was easy (if only I had really remebered all mynotes I'd have gotten a better score). Score: 49/80...it so sux...
..video rental place wasn't open till after 11am so I couldn't rent Magnifico...had to walk back and forth to get the needed requirements for membership..absolutely don't get Video City's requirements...[as if I can get the dorm building's Meralco bill just like that *snap* :rolleyes:]
12nn: got memebership in other video rental place (thank goodness for it...VCity is too weird and had no time to spare for it)...it was way more expensive though...ehehe...
what followed: Watched movie and did math homework at the same time (oh, and wrote notes about the movie)...guess what? I didn't get to finish the film and my homework drained my brain...was gonna be late for math so both were incomplete...so too bad for me, I didn't get to write the proposal just the same...(actually I wrote it but it was already 1230am for cryin' out
loud)
***
[WEDNESDAY]
Too late to pass...now I'm needing all the help my sucky brain can give me.
en11: ate (1)cereal [the fruity ones] (2)donut [cello's oreo, recognized the taste] (3)cream puff [dang that hardened sugar was super sweet, my throat hurt] (4)banana cake [tasted like banana..DUH!] (5)grapes [uh, it was grape-y...hehe] and C2 apple...don't like emon...it's too sweet...
event; my classmates eating cereal with c2 mixure of apple/lemon instead of milk...banana cake dipped in c2 lemon...EWW...I don't care that they said it tasted great...c2 is JUST a drink. Dude, people are so weird..(:rolleyes: /:) like I'm not one myself? ha-ha)
After school event: ate lunch in Choco Kiss (after how many weeks of not going to UP). Ordered Chicken Alfredo...so tasty...love the chicken bits...too much on the bellpeppers(?) though...added a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese...oh so tasty, so very tasty...*drooling*
Had cake (yep, had another sweet.. ;P )...my fave one...Dayap Chiffon Cake...ah, oh so heavenly..except that the bread for me was suddenly dry unlike the last time I ate it...didn't totally ruin my appetite though... I was so filled I just sat there for a while...'Pesa was with me, so we just chatted...
next: I FOUND A SECOND-HAND BOOK OF LOTR PIII THE RETURN OF THE KING! IT'S IN SUCH A GOOD CONDITION AND NO BREAKAGE AT ALL IN THE SPINE! THE EDGES OF THE PAGES ARE SO YELLOW!PRODUCTION DATE; JUNE 1976!!!
Aah, it felt good purchasing it. XD
Mid-afternoon...seperated with 'pesa and had a nap...head began hurting..oh well...
Dinner: McDo with cuz Aj...then coffe in Seattle's Best as he and his friends chatted and discussed the book launching they were organizing for power books [book launch was about Book 11 of Robert Jordan's bestseller, The Wheel of Time (yes people, the end is nigh..er, near)
WotPhils Booklaunch >>check for the announcement and contact numbers for reservations... lost the link to the official poster and all...oh well, it'll be posted around Ateneo sometime this week I'm guessing...and on blackboards as well, Lea and..er, I'M SORRY I FORGOT YOUR NAME will be doing this..I heard them say so...four posters total...might help in the writing-on-the-board-thing...Well, anyway, don't forget to reserve your copy...it's a first come, first serve basis. :D

Winner—Cannes Festival Grand Jury Prize, 2001
Honestly, it’s sick….S/M sex indeed….though it is more verbal than physical. Erika’s “hobby” is so…so…eww.
Still, I didn’t really expect this movie to be like this. Acting was good though…and after reading the given reviews I looked at the movie with a “beyond what I see” perspective and saw that the movie does have a certain depth to it, in a psychological kind of way.
The movie really is a mix of bordering-madness, creepy unease, thought-provoking, and ridiculous. In Rechtshaffen’s words, “[It] is the kind of film that teeters on a very fine line between seat-shifting uneasiness and flat out silliness.” And that basically sums it up.
Synopsis/Summary:
[Non-spoiler summary]
Erika Kohut is a piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory prestigious music school in Vienna. In her early forties and single, she lives with her overprotective and controlling mother in a hermetically sealed world of love-hate and dependency, where there is no room for men. Her sex life consists of voyeurism and masochistic self-injury. Lonely and alienated, Erika finds solace by visiting sex shops and experimenting with masochism. Ata a recital, she befriends Walter, a handsome young man, whom she seduces and with whom she begins an illicit affair. As Erika slowly drifts closer to the brink of emotional disorder, she uses the love-stricken Walter to explore her darkest sado-masochistic fantasies, which eventually lead to her undoing.
[Spoiler Warning *highlight to read*]
Erika is a sexually repressed piano professor in Vienna who is approaching spinsterhood and lives with her mother. When a student tries to seduce her, she agrees, but on her terms. The relationship ends unhappily when she reveals her extreme masochistic desires to him, which brings the relationship to an end, but not before he has made a disgusted attempt to enact his conception of her masochistic fantasies.
And there you have it. If you’re one with an indifference to sex themed movies or don’t easily become uneasy about it, I suppose you’ll be able to watch without going “Eww! So gross! So weird!” That’s about it. I’ve nothing more to say.
PS
“What the heck kind of ending was that?!” >>this I’m sure, is what you’d be asking yourself after watching the ending scene. But then again, I suppose it was to be expected. After all, a “conventional ending would be a cop out.”

Finally not much homework...no papers to do...nothing! Ha-ha!! No more sleeping at 2am then waking up 4 hours later to prepare for school...haha!
This morning [around 130am] pissed me off though. Friggin' brown out just had just when I was about to send my paper to sir...sheesh...
Friday was a good day I suppose...I just couldn't stop yawning every few minutes...stiffling it was harder...I guess I was more tired than I'd thought...Oh well...
But here I am again...not sleeping...when I didn't even get a nap yet...but it is Friday so I sleeping late is fine.
Just reading...bet you you're bored reading this entry as I am writing it...ha-ha! ;P
Nothing to say now...hmm...
Ciao...
*To Chi: HI!!!!* >>well, that's a hi for you if you're checking out my boring self. ;P

moaning
my world is spinning
a heavy weight I place upon myself
I wear this collar of gold
beautifully detailed...
deceptivelyheavy
with binding chains that connect to my hands,
covered and controlled by gloves of fear for failure
my world spins again,
I've lost my footing
I've fallen again, a failure
have I not strived enough?
Have I not worked hard enough?
perhaps...
I've only gambled with the fates
Caroused with the paper of time
and dwindled all I had gained
perhaps this burden is my reward
yes...
that must be it
but still it weighs heavily
my failure shames me that much
Peace! Lead me right this time...
My feet now move forward again
Perhaps this spinning will soon stop
and next time,
next time surely I will pull away
~written with no sense but to pass time as my head throbs with pain I so rightly deserve
