Iris is | studying for the vocabulary quiz
Last Song Syndrome | Sponge Cola - Jeepney
Naaalala ko ang mga gabing nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan..
Haay.. Tama na nga ang drama. Tinatamad na ako magdrama. Hehe I just finished the lyrics for the inter-group elimination for the song fest. Hihihi. It goes:
HINDI DAHIL
Sa mata ng Diyos lahat ay pinagpala
Mayaman man o isang dukha
Dapat mamayani sa isipan
Ang pag-ibig at mabuting kalooban
*chorus
Hindi dahil mahina
Hindi dahil marumi
Hindi dahil dukha
Ay dapat ng maapi
Dinggin mo ako
Ang puso ko'y buo
Sana malaman ako ri'y katulad mo
Masakit tanggapin ang katotohanan
Mga suliranin sa lipunan
Ano ba ang magagawa?
Maliban sa pagpapariwara?
*chorus
*bridge
Kailan mo ba maiintindihan?
Mabubuksan pa ba ang `yong isipan?
Na hindi ako
Iba sayo
*chorus
*w/ the chorus
Hindi dahil sa ika'y mas mapalad
di mo na ako mapapansin
Hindi dahil ganito lang ako
di mo na ako didinggin
Hindi dahil
It's about this poor boy who asks for society's acceptance.. Wala lang. May reunion thingy pala ang TUEYT on July 19 (MON) during lunch time at the Gubat-Regalo. Each committee would bring food/drinks whatever. Bahala na.. Mag-plan plan na lang:)

Iris is | sick & lonely
Last Song Syndrome | Christina Milian - Until I Get Over You
There's just one heart where there once was two..
I've been constantly shedding my tears since last night. I have made a difficult decision.
It's been six months. The time has come when I have to let go of him all of a sudden. I cannot keep it and pretend no more. I am not in love with him, I am in love with someone else. But why do I really have to do this? I cannot withstand pain no more.
He was absolutely perfect. We were going strong. I thought it was all going right, until that person from my past came along. I realized that I really love that other person. I realized that I have been hiding my emotions ever since.
I was so afraid of telling him the truth that I love someone else. But I finally told him. I was afraid that he wouldn't endure the anguish that I will lay upon him. But he took it well, but I know deep inside of him was extreme loneliness. I know that I have hurt him deeply. And I'm so sorry. I hope he'll forgive me..
When will this river of tears stop falling?
He needs me. This is the time he needs me the most. Almost everything he does revolves around me. I cannot and will not leave him hanging despite the situation. I can't walk away when the pain keeps calling..
Even though we've had a series of arguments, I never hated him. I tried to understand him as much as I can; and I know he also tried. I appreciate him for everything that he has done for me. The flowers, the stuffed toys, the food!(bbq..:p), the drinks, the hair accesory, the letters, the e-mails, the chats, the texts, the phonecalls, the "pottery", the laughter, the tears, the priceless words, the scent, the hugs, the kisses.. the moments... Don't worry.. It will all be here with me. In my drawer, and in my heart.
But it's so hard to let go..
Not loving him back doesn't mean that I'm going to leave him. I'll just be right here, by his side. I'll always be his friend no matter what. That's the way it's gotta be, until I get over you.
You might be reading this.. I just want you to know that you are one of the biggest links of my life. You made my life complete. You taught me how to love and appreciate. I know you loved me with best that you can. And I am deeply amazed with your courage to still love me until now.
Like you said, "You're not one of the good things in my life. You're the only best thing."
I miss you so much...

Iris is | perky!
Last Song Syndrome | Black Eyed Peas - Dirty Dancing
Bailar.. Te Quiero Bailar.. I wanna watch B.E.P. on Saturday!!!! Dang.. Sayang.. Anyway, tagal na rin since na-update tong blog na toh.. JOLOGS!!
hehe.. it's coz i've been very busy with rehearsals for our play.. I've been having some throat disorders.. And muscle pains.. The rehearsals, especially the choreography is pretty tough and extensive. I always forget to do warm-ups before the thing that's why I get body aches/muscle pains right after. By the way, I'm inviting everyone to watch Trumpets© "Once on this Island" on June 3 [THURS], 3-5pm at the Music Museum, Greenhills. Tickets are at 120 php each. It can be bought at the Music Museum entrance. [Directed by Jun Ofrasio, Musical Direction by Ronnie Fortich, Choreography by cher Stanley]
It is some kind of a Jamaican play. With all those Jamaican moves. (Sean Paul dance moves.) The fruits & vegetables on your head shaking... Haha..

Last Song Syndrome | Wayne Wonder - Hold Me Now
wow tagal na rin since I last put up an entry in here...
This week has been a trail of failure for me. I tried for a role in our play & I didn't get in coz of some shallow reasons. Well I guess I'm not meant for that role. I'll be a storyteller/peasant na lang. Huwaw... storytelling. But the most heartbreaking thing was to see my Star Circle Quest crush Joseph Bitangcol out of the Magic Circle. (I can imagine him walk away from a circle of people in a bonfire.) It would have been better if Errol Abalayan would be eliminated. His skills which brought him this far are long gone. He's just some kid in the scene... OH WHY JOSEPH..... Look at the gorgeousism.. IRRESISTABLE.
Look at Joseph & Michelle. BAGAY SILA... I don't like Melissa for Joseph. She's too young. Like Tata Young.
By the way, later after mass, there is some kind of a Meeting de Advance of the Pasig congressmen in our clubhouse. How exciting. I would like to receive some new campaign materials..

Iris is | nababadtrip. :(
Last Song Syndrome | Charlie Wilson - Without You
Huwaaaaww... Trumpets kahapon. Weheheheheheehehehehehe..... I was with Sha before we entered our class. Our classroom's name is Pro-Golf 2. What is that, is it like a golf course before..? Anyway, we were drinking our Big Chill shakes. It's so chilly inside. Our teacher is Teacher Jun Ofracio. I heard he's a very good teacher... He's done plays like The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, Little Mermaid, Miss Saigon, etc. Kewl noh? Hehe.. Then we went through the introduction process where we would have to give ourselves an adjective which corresponds to the 1st letter of our names. Since Iris is my name, I said, "I'm IRRITABLE IRIS." Dapat nga sasabihin ko "I'm IMMACULATE IRIS." Tapos luluhod ako then I will pray like Sister Martha. But no i was Irritable Iris. Tapos nagstory telling game kami, worm game, & Doctor Quack-Quack.. & the introduce your bestfriend for the day... Bestfriends ko for the day is Mica & Paco. We introduced each other to everyone. Then un na nga.. till 5pm yon... Me n Sha hanged out with Lovely & Denise.. When we went to the ground floor, we saw some Trumpets classmates. Derek, Len & Mica. We were talking, making harang to the escalator. So di namin narerealize na binoblock na namin ung "escalator way". Then everybody left. Except me (Iris Baltazar), Derek Tan, Len Lim & Sha Supangan.. NYE whole names pa talaga eh. Hinatid namin si Derek sa food court, & we ended up eating at McDo.. Before that, I saw this food booth, its name is Kusina sa Edsa... I imagined that there's a kitchen in the middle of Edsa.
Then si Sha, dala dala pa rin yung Big Chill shake nya.. Sabi ko, "Ancient na yan ah. That's like 6 hours old.. Lolo na yan e." Tapos after a few moments, the shake is still on her McDo tray. It's like an artifact. So ancient....
Then this manong with a Neon Red cap distracted my eyes since it is Neon Red. (is there such a color?) Kala tuloy nila, crush ko yung manong. Tapos tong si Len, tinuro yung lolo na naka-gray who is standing at this food booth. Crush ko daw. Umm please... NO.. Tapos OMG, may lolo sa tabi namin, may lolo din sa likod. And I'm like, AM I IN DREAM-LAND? OR IN DISNEYLAND..? Then there's this janitor who was mopping the floor.. & I was watching the mop. The manong's company name is EGSI. You know the SPCP maintenance company name is MEG-A. reminds me of MEGA Sharon Cuneta. Tapos sabi ni Sha crush ko daw yung Mr. Egsi manong. Nooo way! Sobrang benta sakin si Derek... To the point that my tueyt gubat colors showed. Nahampas ko yung table, tapos narealize ko may tubig ung table..
As we were walking, we passed by this specialty shop. (so. T.H.E... Ms. Sanin..) Pinagkamalan kong tindahan ng kurtina ung specialty shop. May mga tela kasi na nakadisplay. But no. It is a shop for gowns. Like prom gowns. Scariness... Buti di ako narinig. 7 something na ako nakauwi... Paikot-ikot lang kami nila Sha & Len sa Shang.. tumingin tingin pa sa mga books n ceramics sa National Book Store.... hehehe... Talked to Derek at like 11pm.. BENTA talaga tong si Derek.. Lahat ng electronic stuff nila at home, nagsimula masira nung holy week. Yung pc, tv, remote control battery, celfone battery.. may topak.. ung ps.. chaka ung gameboy. Tapos nung kinausap ko na sya, tsaka lang nasira ung radyo nila. BENTA!!! Sabi ko sa kanya, how bout your house lights? Is it working? He said yes, & he ended up playing with the switch of the lights.
TRUMPETS ROCK...

The Passion of the Christ
Iris is | repenting... T_T
Last Song Syndrome | Chingy - One Call Away
Finally, I was able to watch The Passion of the Christ at Greenbelt 3 late last night. It was my long awaited movie starring Jim Caviezel. (I didn't really see Jim's face clearly coz his face was covered with blood in the garden scene... I became happy when I saw the scene where he was fixing the table with Mary.) Jim Caviezel had nice orangy eyes..
Beforehand, my brother said that the movie's title was the Fashion of Christ. He imagined that Pontius Pilate was on the catwalk & the host is saying, "Ok, here we have Mr. Pontius Pilate wearing a red kumot & some leaves on top of his head, etc.."
The movie was really disturbing. Until this time, I still see the alarming images in my head. It was very graphic. Mel Gibson is truly a genius filmmaker. Melgibs (like Janno Gibs) wanted to do this film even 10 years before. The film depicted what really happened behind Jesus' suffering. In that film, I realized how much pain he had to go through... It showed that other Jesus movies were a bit weak.
There was this news that a criminal in the US turned over to the police after seeing the film. This goes to show that it is truly powerful.
The movie left me questioning about lots of things like why did Jesus have to die on the cross saying that it will save mankind's sins.. But it seems senseless because until now, mankind is still sinning. Parang why did he have to do that pa.. Eh ganito din naman. Marami paring masama.. Lotsa people until now don't know why, but now I know coz my dad told me why last night. Hehe I was convinced. He said that if Jesus didn't die on the cross, people won't have FAITH. People won't have something to believe in. We wouldn't have God to worship, pray & to have faith in. Faith is what makes people still continue with their lives. It is people's source of strength through the difficulty of life. That is how Jesus saved us. Though people still sin, we just sin minimally. If Jesus didn't die for us, we would't know our limitations. We would continue to sin, not knowing what is evil & what is good.
| Lines I quoted from the movie:
* "See, mother, I make all things new."
* "Love one another, as I have loved you."
* "If you only love your loved ones, what is the price in that?"
* "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."
* "When you think that the world hates you, remember that they hated me first." |
* "You will deny me three times."

Iris is | not in the mood -_-
Last Song Syndrome | Hoobastank - The Reason (*ehem*)
Haayy.. it's been a week since I updated this thing.. Wehehe.. Well uhh today is Palm Sunday. For the 1st time in my life, I didn't attend the Palm Sunday mass. I have no palaspas blessing today. Grrrr.. Kasi during lunch time, we headed to Antipolo.. at my lola's place.. There's this "pabasa" thing there.. Where people sing the verses of one whole book... They started at 9pm Saturday, then ended at 3pm Sunday.. They sang non-stop. Especially that man named Mang Sixto.. Sobrang benta yung mama na yon sakin. He's an old man from Bacood. They hired him to sing... Grabe he didn't sleep.. Tapos tanghali na ng Sunday, his voice is still so loud! I tried to sing 6 stanzas nga eh. Pero di ko nakayanan kasi sobrang natatawa ako dun kay Mang Sixto. I was covering my face with a Pabasa book. Every stanza, he changes the tune.. Then his voice, bigla nalang lumalakas.. Parang nang-gugulat. Like Father Bart. Tapos natawa ako.. then I left.. I headed to the table to eat some creampuff. *YUM*..
After the Pabasa, we prayed the Rosary. Then it's over.. I looked for more food.. There's puto.. that cake thing.. creampuff.. beans.. candies.. ang daming goodies. hehe!!:) then I went to the living room & I saw my cousin sitting down on the sofa, looking afar, & with a big towel around his neck. He looked like a swimming instructor looking over his swimming students. Then I was texting people.. Then this big pandesal on a plate with cheese caught my attention. I asked my cousin, "Umm kanina ko pa nakikita yung pandesal na yan. Howcome walang kumakain?" He said, "kagabi pa yan eh... kay Mang Sixto yan.. Hindi niya kinain." Tapos I was laughing like I was laughing. Tapos after how many hours, we brought our tito & tita to their house. Then we went home at like 8pm. Wala ng mass around here.. And that's how we weren't able to go to Palm Sunday mass. Forgive me, Lord... ~Can't wait to see the Passion of Christ... It's so intriguing. Jim Caviezel yeah!
