Invisible and Indivisible

OH MY DARCY!
2 MORE WEEKS AND I'M FREE FROM SCHOOL (well for just a couple of months)

Right now I'm doing me research paper which is a total blow since I don't know how to write one. What the hell is wrong with me. I woke up around 6:30 just to do it but currently I have 2 paragraphs of chapter one and no introduction (since she made me do it again). I spent an hour doing me 1 sentence thesis statement and look what I'm doing. My goal for today is: to finish my research paper by tonight or 1 am. :D

Sorry, I’m Phobophobic (Fear of having Phobias)

Chem, why do you hate me?!? Ugh. I think I failed the test! Ugh! My brain still hurts. Good thing tomorrow it's skip test day for the juniors (just kidding), regular school day, though, but a half-day. I haven't eaten yet because I wanted to go out today and blah and because I'm watching Gossip Girl and Degrassi.

I really wanted to go out today and buy a new book but I have to stay at home. It's raining and it's very cold, well it is for me. It's so weird to be here instead of being at school. It doesn't feel like a test day.

Intramurals are next week (for the ball games that is) and I'm really scared of what is to become of us. I wish they would excuse us from class. Exams will still continue next week until Wednesday for us, the juniors since tomorrow will be regular classes for us due to the retreat. I'm really tired of studying. I have to read 9 chapters of Noli (Tagalog Version) because I've read the English version and I don't think it'll help me on the test.

I have a lot on my mind lately. About the exams mostly and about being really really hungry right now. I'm craving for a double cheese burger and twister fries from McDonald's. Maybe I should order but I don't want to bother them because it's raining and they'd be totally pissed if I want them to deliver it and it's raining. I don't know. Maybe I should wait till my mom wakes up.

Okay so maybe I should really go out on Friday morning, since we don't have classes this Friday, and study in the afternoon. I better start today so that I can go out on Friday.

I really want to watch the new episode of Emma (2009 TV Serial), Glee, 90210 and Vampire Diaries. I know what to do today (instead of studying) I shall read book two of Night World by L.J. Smith (Author of Vampire Diaries, who is better than Stephenie Meyer because Vampire Diaries and True Blood came first than Twilight and both books are more creative that the whole twilight series. TWILIGHT SUCKS AND THEN YOU DIE!

Must read List:
[] Vampire Diaries
[] The Southern Vampire Mysteries (Or True Blood)
[] Viola in Reel Life

And many more…

It's raining and I'm really hungry. Thou shall post a poem by John Keats.

Bright Star

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art--
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--
No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever--or else swoon to death.

Rick Murray (from Degrassi) Is A Psycho!

Whoa! Just seen the Emma (2009 TV serial) Promo and it's kinda weird. I don't know if the girl who looks like she's sleepy or took drugs was Emma (forgive me). Oh well. I can't wait to watch it. Emma is my favorite Jane Austen novel and so far Gwyneth Paltrow is the best Emma. Oh. I forgot, the guy who played Edmund in the 1999 Movie version of Mansfield Park will be Mr. Knightley and the guy who played Edmund in the 2007 TV version of Mansfied Park will be Mr. Elton. Funneh! :))

This is Austen's Generation

Okay so I'm sounding like those bloggers who only blog about Jane Austen or some other author or a movie and let me tell you this, I'm not one of them (though I really love reading those kind of blogs and love knowing new news about some stuffs I really care about... i.e. Jane Austen News)

(if you haven't finish Gossip Girl, 90210 or Pushing Daisies please turn away now and may be skip the few paragraphs)
Finished Gossip Girl and I love it! :D Chuck + Blair = Best Couple Ever! I'm obsessed about television shows right now that I'm having this one last goal in my summer goals:
update on my summer goals
1.Lose Weight
2.Join an acting class (I don't know if i could do this)
3.Practice the violin (for auditions next school year?)
4.Read lots and lots of books (already started)
[x]5.Start reading Noli and Hamlet (for the next school year... wooh go juniors!) (it just says start so I've started... i haven't finished)
[x]6.Start going to the gym (hahah! since summer trainings are canceled in school, all of them) (it's the same as working out)
7. Learn to speak French (wahahahaha... yes guys, it's true I've been faking it my whole life!)
8. Finish all the TV shows you wanted to watch (i.e. Gossip Girl, 90210, Pushing Daisies and Ugly Betty)
So it means... TV Show Check List
[x] 90210
[x] Pushing Daisies
[x] Gossip Girl
[x] Ugly Betty
It's not much but it's the only stuff I love for now and like the Avenue Q song says everything is just for now (like some people in my life, you know who you are).
Song Playing: God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
I love being back in Manila with internet (and no load) and the sims 2 (and no load), oh let's not forget, and Gossip Girl, 90210, Pushing Daisies and Ugly Betty (and no load). Yes! I don't have LOAD! I am now enjoying my Computer privileges (am I right about this? maybe not).

xoxo Chuck and Blair

Every Darcy For Himself

From the 1995 mini-series version to the 2008 (kinda weird like) mini-series version, all the Darcies appear to have the moment of being wet.


(edited by: janine)

In the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice Mr. Darcy was riding a horse and then maybe thought "hmmm, I should go for a swim" and jumps to the nearest lake he saw.
In the 2005 version the scene where Mr. Darcy was wet was when he proposed for the first time to Elizabeth Bennet in which Elizabeth replied "And those are the words of a gentleman? For the first moment I met you, your arrogance and your conceit, your selfish disdain to the feelings of other made me realize that you were the last man I could ever be prevailed upon to marry!" whoopack!
In the 2008 mini-series "Lost in Austen" where Amanda Price was lost in a Jane Austen book which happens to be Pride and Prejudice she asked Mr. Darcy to go into the lake and go back wet. "Post-modern Moment".

Now it is your choice. Colin Firth (1995), Matthew Macfadyen (2005) or Elliot Cowan (Lost in Austen 2008)? Which one is the best?

For me, they're all the best! Just as long as they stay in character (which is Mr. Darcy, of course) they will stay perfect. :D

While waiting for GG to load up

Dear Readers,

My inner world of Jane Austen caused me to forget my outer world of reality which means that I've been ignoring a lot of things that is not to be ignored. Like Gossip Girl and Pushing Daisies. No one told be Dan and Serena are back together (I'm still in episode 16 and if they broke up after that please don't tell me). I couldn't understand anything they were saying in pushing daisies (maybe because I started to watch it in the middle of the episode).
It has also made me realize that I haven't talk about my friends here in my blog yet (I won't start now since nothing much is going on with them since I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM SOME OF THEM!) and I think that's a little bit unfair. I've been writing about myself for the past 2 months now and nothing much about who I hang out with and or share secrets with. Nada! Maybe one post but compare to Jane Austen (who is sometimes my inspiration for some of my posts) it's like they're nothing to me. Dang. I don't want that to be the impression towards my friends.
I just want to apologize to all of my friends and to K, I know I haven't been there for you but right now I would really want to be there for you. Actually I'm always here for you, you just have to call on me. Don't expect me to know that there's something wrong because I'm not God, I don't know everything.
So yes, this sudden epiphany was caused by my dear Jane Austen, who have help me through the gap.

Now I shall leave you in your search for true happiness and watch GG.

Miss Janine

20 pages to go

I'm reading Persuasion now by Jane Austen and seriously I can't put the book down even if someone is calling me or texting me or when I'm using the computer. 20 pages left and I'm done reading it. It's so.... words can't explain this thing when I'm reading it (excitement, love, eagerness whahahaha every word that is good can be put as this feeling). So yeah... which leads me to neglecting texts (which also means neglecting my bestfriend). How I have neglected her yesterday and when I explain that I couldn't text because of the books her only reply was yeah and then I kept on texting her so her only other replies are yeah, what and k. :| Another fight because I was reading a book.


Next book to be read: Northanger Abbey \m/ hahahaha! excellent as always!
