Louie's entry applies to me too:
I heard about the super-typhoon.
And the two-day long power outage.
I trust that everyone's alright though. :)
YM me, please send me a message, so I know what happened to you (and how you survived 48 hours without electricity). :)
This doesn't quite refer to Hina, my sister, and my cousins Lia, Chiaki and Cookie who were (for sure) dependent on electricity generators and did not suffer the wrath of lighting their lives with candles and flashlights. XD
In other news, Stanford is alright. It's bearable. Not much work YET. No discrimination stuff or whatsoever (Ryan, yes, sir, I am on the lookout! :P). Been making new friends (but no one will replace my band and kadas en Las Islas Filipinas). Roommate seems okay (he's a true-blue Californian, or so he says, hehe). Been hanging out with a certain group of people too. Jocks. Haha.
So. Thanks for the weekly updates, guys. And the packages, emails, phone calls, surprises. :) The best kayo. :D I appreciate it. :)

Sige nga magta-Tagalog muna ako. Medyo matagal tagal na rin akong hindi nagta-Tagalog. Ayokong matulad ang pananalita ko ng Wikang Tagalog sa pananalita ko ng Wikang Hapon. Alam kong may mga kaibigan akong hindi makakaintindi ng mga isusulat ko (kahit nasa Pilipinas sila :P), pero sana ay pabayaan niyo nalang ako. Kayo na ang dumiskarte para maintindihan niyo itong sinusulat ko. :P
Sa Lunes ay lilipat na ako sa student housing, o dorm. Ayoko sana mag-dorm kasi malapit naman sa Stanford yung apartment ni Kuya at marunong naman akong mag-drive (at magkakaroon na rin ako ng kotse, haha). Hindi rin kasi ako sanay ng may kasama sa kwarto. Sa Pilipinas kasi, kanya kanya kami ng kwarto. Kahit sa Tokyo, ganoon din. Kaso nga lang hindi daw talaga pwedeng hindi mag-dorm, sabi ng Admissions Office. Pero ayos lang din. Kasama talaga yun eh. Basta, bahala na.
Hindi pa rin ako tuluyang nakakapag-adjust. Ang pakiramdam ko, parang nasa bakasyon lang ako. Kasi naman, ilang beses na rin kaming pabalik-balik dito sa California. At saka kung ano ano kasi ang pinaggagawa ko dito. Alam niyo na, halos limang buwan akong walang pasok. Limang buwang dormant. Paano kaya pag nagsimula na ang klase? Pakiramdam ko, pa-relax lang ako eh! Hindi talaga ako sanay ng walang gagawin. Dati, kung hindi niyo naalala, pagkatapos ng klase ay may training ako, o may kung ano anong lessons, pero ngayon... ewan. Minsan nakikisali ako sa paglalaro ng soccer, frisbee o basketball sa mga kasing-edad ko na nasa park, pero, sa kalahatan, wala yung ginagawa ko ngayon sa ginagawa ko dati. Minsan nga pinapadalan nga ako ng e-mail ng ibang mga teachers ko. Si Sir Josh, sa drums, si Senorita Maite, sa Spanish, at iba pa. Namimiss yata ako... hahaha, kapal! XD Ilang taon ko rin kasi silang nakasama. Para talagang ang dami kong nakakaligtaan (naalala ko pa itong salita na to, Ryan! :P) diyan habang nandito ako, at alam ko namang hindi ito maiiwasan. Salamat na lang sa mga kaibigan kong palaging pakikipag-chat sa YM, nagpapadala ng e-mail, nagpapakita ng pictures at video, tumatawag sa telepono, nagpapadala ng mga sorpresa sa mailbox... babawi ako, pramis! :)
At oo, kapag tumatawag kayo at naririnig ninyo ang boses ko, alam kong napapansin ninyong nagiging slang na ako. Kung medyo slang na ako dati, mas slang na ako ngayon! Hahaha... wala eh, dumikit lang! Parang kasing-slang ko na ang kapatid kong si Sara. :P
Hmm. Kahapon nga pala, nag-off si Kuya sa trabaho, at dinala niya ako sa Six Flags. Huling hirit daw bago ako pumasok. :D Yun, masaya... kahit tatlo lang kami (ako, si Kuya, at si Ate Candice, girlfriend ni Kuya). Roller coaster buong araw! Lahat ng roller coasters, nasakyan namin ni Kuya, pero si Ate Candice, sumuko agad. Hehehe... nahilo yata. Pagkatapos, nung gabi, parteh! Inom, kain, sayaw, kain, lalala... hehe. :D Naging surrogate percussionist na naman ako, pero sa banda ng... Mexicans ba? Naks, gumoglobal na si Ken! Hahaha! :D Binayaran nila ako; medyo malaki nga eh. Saya. Haha! :D Ayan tuloy, namiss ko bigla yung drum set ko. Siguro maalikabok na yon. Tsk tsk. Miss ko na bandmates ko! Miss na namin ni Louie bandmates namin! :O
...at wala na namang katuturan ang pinagsusulat ko. Tama na nga! Tinatawag ako ni Kuya. Kailangan ko nang tapusin ang pag-eempake ko. AHH.

- Aba, aba, double post! Ahahaha... where'd you get that? :P Of course not! I've only even driven it once!!! Parang bawal nga akong lumapit eh! :P
(Okay, I'm too lazy to copy and paste conversations now. :P If I feel that there should be, there will be more of this. XD)

Dear Ken...
Look, I have an advice column!
kenny! :(
i have a problem! :( you see, i have this batchmate, lets call her C, who accuses me of stealing her boyfriend, which i so did NOT do. according to C's friend, he just asked who i was and how i was, and then C started getting mad and making a scene and fighting him.
excerpt from C's friend's email:
So di ba, S, you were in Promenade with your friends yesterday, and you saw us with C and her boy? You said hi to us right? When you left, C's boy asked C who you were. Tapos he asked like, how are you daw (as a person, you know na). Then out of the blue, he commented pa how nice your sense of style was (ang cute nga pala ng skirt mo! um... labo?). Tapos C got mad na. As in nagdabog, honey! Nahiya ako, grabe. So ayun.
thank you for commenting on my sense of style, but hellooo, where's my part in the whole argument thing? i didn't even flirt or anything (excuse me, i don't flirt just like that!) and for the record, i don't even know the guy! i haven't even met him! well, maybe i came across him (with C, of course) during the prom or something, but i don't remember being properly introduced or anything! :( AND i was wearing something decent po, excuse me! nothing revealing or anything (as in not even my clubbing clothes... haha joke!), i'll attach pics! :P
so what do i do??? i don't want to get mad, and i don't like it when people get mad at me... especially when i did nothing to them! heeelp!
love,
S
And here's a photo of her non-revealing *ehemthankgoodnessehem* outfit:
