Update :)

2011-06-03T17:41:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that I'm updating this. :) It's a habit of mine to 'backread' on blogs and well, as I read mine, I didn't fail to notice that I sounded so childish back in High school. I still think that's normal though. ;) It's so nice to reminisce especially during rainy days. (No, that statement does not entail drama at all. On the contrary, there's some comfort there somewhere).

This post is merely an update of how much time had passed. I'm currently enjoying (not everything as you can see in the update info section) College life with new friends and a new environment as well. What are the exciting things I managed to do you may ask?

1. I learned how to commute.
I'm still mediocre though. If there was a master's degree in commuting, I may never be able to reach it. haha. Reason: I hate crossing roads. My brain automatically assumes that a vehicle would hit me. :( Oh well.

2. I learned how to eat certain things.
I don't eat rice in a box way back. I also don't eat siomai with rice. I don't like milk tea. Now, I'm addicted to all three. :) Ahhh. the wonders of college.

3. I learned to be more independent.
I'm staying in a good dormitory. I'm also with one of my close friends which really helps with the adjustment period during the first semester. :)

The other 'learnings' would just include budgeting, time management, blabla.. you get the idea.

Although college is really something to look forward to, I definitely have to say that High School is still something else. It's unforgettable. So cherish all the moments you have now. (not that I didn't. I'm still in the process of cherishing anyway) :D

Conclusion: Life gives you so much and then gives you so much more to miss. :)
Oh well. might as well enjoy everything. :D

Summmeeer (and boredom issues) :(

2010-04-09T21:23:00.000-07:00

I hate myself. Being a fan of a lot of social networking sites and blogging sites has deprived me of my recent ongoing search for outdoor and learning activities. Unfortunately for me, this summer I'm stuck with my laptop for who knows when and my mom keeps on reminding me that time is running and I need to find short courses soon. :'( My idea of summer is relaxation. I do want to take lessons but I want to take enjoyable ones. Erm. What, you may ask?

1. Swimming-Well, I've taken that up since first grade and I don't think the sun loves me.
2. Voice-Now I really want to do this. But after a couple of lessons, relatives and friends expect much and would want to make me belt out high notes (heellooo, I am not a soprano) ;]
3. Piano-Sorry. I really think this one's not for me. I'd rather try violin despite the difficulty that i see when people play it.
4. Language?-Definitely last on the list for others, first for me. I wanna take japanese lessons. T^T
5. Photoshop/Graphics design-I caaaaan't. But I want to. (badly)

So after 2 or 3 minutes of typing that, I'm still stuck in my seat. I don't know what to do though I typically spend my time blogging, surfing the net, reblogging, playing guitar, singing, and doing my nails. The last one takes up most of my time. :)

FYI, I don't watch television. I find my comforts of movies, series, and anime in the internet quite adequate.

That's all for the first week of summer. I want to update this blog on how my summer goes. Wish me luck! ^_^ Ciao!

what can you say about leukemia

2010-04-08T23:57:00.001-07:00

It scares me. And I admire the people who have it for being strong. Really, I mean the symptoms are death provoking in one way or another right? :(

Go on, ask me! ;]]

Triple Mishaps :O

2009-09-14T07:11:00.000-07:00

I am so screwed. ohh way to start a new entry. :] Well, first things first. I need to cram about my hectic schedule for this week. It's not exactly hectic (my definition of hectic would be days with no more free time). What made it like that was the horrific events about to happen at the end of the week. Sunday to be precise was the dreaded day for the ACET (Ateneo College Entrance Test) where I absolutely have 10% chance of passing. NO kidding. I mean, how could I possibly pass with math as its no.1 priority. OMG. I can see my future self suffering from nausea. T.T

Little did I know I had another thing coming. Our PT was just moved to next week. ergo, it will be after the ACET which would be after the holiday on September 21. (talk about major blues) *sigh* Anyway, I am now trying to desperately make my schedule fit into my hectic week. By schedule, I mean studying, spending time with my beloved plants (it's my research.), and studying some more. I have never been so particular about my time frame for reading my notes.

Aside from that, the horrific week just didn't end there. During Fridays, our intrams would be held (I don't know how many fridays)... It's our last year and well, it just doesn't seem right. Again, another sigh for me. As for our homeworks, they seem to be bothering me less nowadays. Hmm... I guess it has something to do with the fact that our lessons have become increasingly difficult for the last couple of days. I hate numbers. But I need to love numbers in order to pass. This is getting way too extreme. :p

Whoa. I can't believe I just typed 3 paragraphs without even thinking. ~.~ bizarre.

I'd like to point out that I am currently keeping my fingers crossed for more free time. Seeing as to how I was able to type this at the moment, it can thus be considered as some free time. (yeah. for like 10 minutes) I still have to study the nosebleeding process of genetic engineering in science. *sniff*

I guess this is the end for this post.

PS. 1. I just had major improvements-wrote a 671 word essay. My highest before was 500 words. :D [though I could pretty much say what I typed there were senseless. pretty much.]

PS 2. My mom just bought tons of food. Now i need to strictly observe my diet. The delicious mint breads, combos, and pikniks, all seem to stare at me. It's not looking too good for me in that aspect either. XD

TTFN. Ü

Review Sessions :)

2009-07-29T04:53:00.000-07:00

We spent this week reviewing for the UPCAT. My schedule will be on August 1, 6:30 AM in Diliman. Early much? Well, there were really no other options to choose from... Anyway, This topic made me remember our review days. aww.. I really missed reviewing so much. I never thought I would but what do you know, here I am rambling about it... :)

Reviewing in Noveletta was a blast. I never really commuted much but now I finally dared to go out more often!-an advantage brought about by the review sessions.

I want to spend this time by writing about our beloved lecturers but I can't seem to remember their names properly. Maybe I'll just type their subjects. The first major subject we took on was Science so here it goes.

General Science
I totally had brain hemorrhage, no kidding. Sometimes our lecturer would throw in a joke or two but those were not enough to keep my eyelids from drooping. *sigh* I survived the subject with some disappointing scores. It's a good thing our lecturer's kindness overpowered our disappointments. I forgot his name, I'll ask my classmates tomorrow. Ü

Chemistry
Sir Ronald is the best! He was so hilarious so I didn't feel sleepy throughout the entire 5 hours. Plus, he's teaching chem, one of my better subjects. :)
Quote:

"During Chemistry class:

Sir Ron: “May kilala akong nilunok niya yung suka niya habang nasa bus.”

Students: “YYYUUUUUUCCCCCK!”

Sir Ron: “Kadiri lumunok ng suka? Mas kadiri pag nilunok ko ang suka mo!” (Hindi ako makapaniwalang naririnig ko ito. haha)" -quoted from a TIC

He has 3 vocal ranges when he says the word "Question. I mean just imagine this.. Questions?[high intonation], Questions [another high intonation], Questions [low intonation]

He uses an imitation of british accent at times which doesn't fail to give as a laugh or two. He also taught us in Math and He was our lecturer and proctor for our last review.

Biology
Sir Jared was also one of the bests. He is so articulate! :] well, I think he was already a doctor when he became our lecturer. He shares experiences and when he throws in jokes, mabenta xiempre

On relationships:

“I’d rather be single than poor.” ( I agree!)

While he was discussing DNA and then he saw two male students who were checking out each other’s fingerprints:

“Hindi maganda ang two adolescent boys na naghoholding hands, disturbing!”

Lol! :]

Physics
Well, our teacher was Sir Andy, if I'm not mistaken. He offers love advices [haha] during lessons. What i mean is, he applies the concepts of physics on relationships. [if only physics wasn't so damn hard. *sniff*]

Our Math teachers on the contrary were not that memorable. Sorry. Though I seemed to like Logic [it is confusing and humorous at times] and Math during rare times when my brain became permeable to numbers.

“Ex. If Sam is a straight guy

Then Sam and Anne should be together

Sam and Anne are not together.

——————————————————–

Therefore, Sam is not a straight guy” ( logical nga!)

I so love logic during those times.

Naka2nosebleed ang mga teachers sa english.

Ms. Gerlie loves saying the phrase "interesting right?" and she gives more of her attention to saying things about the "idiosyncrasy" of the language. Can't help it. I love her diction though, plus she smiles a lot.

Ms. Sol uses a lot of visual aids. [wow] She discusses a lot too, but well, what can I say, English teachers are garrulous in english. :]

I can't type anymore.
I just typed this so I can retain some of my memory. ^^

well, watever. point is, I enjoyed reviewing. [For once]

愛 Dear Love 愛

2009-07-12T01:00:00.000-07:00

How can you say that love is true?

One of the most misused words in the English language today is the word "love". Love is different for different people. It cannot be defined,it can only be expressed.

Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action—true love.

True love, also known as selfless love is the ideal love that the Lord talks about. We can tell if we have this kind of love for another person if our first wish is not to get something from the other person but to give something to him/her. We are never happier than when we can do something for that person. This is the kind of love that can chage our life because it is the only thing that can pull us out of our selfishness. This kind of love wants to give without any thoughts of repayment. It is never happier than when it is giving. In love, when you give, you don't lose a part of you. Instead, you feel more complete. :]

Maybe it's when two people are together and they are at peace. They complete each other. The whole world with its sufferings, trials, and conflicts don't exist because nothing else matters aside from them being together.

True love is based on happiness and trust. When we love someone, we think of that person's happiness more than our own. real love doesn’t long for power, it doesn’t want to hurt, doesn’t want to punish for mistakes, it’s self-sacrificing and ready to forgive each other countless times.

Lastly, when you love someone, you don't have a reason on why you feel that way, you just do. :]

Most of the Time, It's Temporary Ü

Why do our blessings sometimes seem as disasters for us?

"There is no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster"-Richard Bach

Though already considered as a cliche, the phrase "Everything happens for a reason" still applies to this situation. All of us are blessed in some way but those are really "meant" for us. There comes a point in our lives where random blessings cross our paths; random meaning incidental. We are blinded by those blessings and we instinctively think that we are lucky for receiving those. Unfortunately, not all blessings are meant to be blessings.

One moment you are at the top and the next thing you know, you're about to crash.

Life is full of disguises and secrets. Some people experience blessings and then later on fall into a pit of disaster thereby making them blame the blessing they previously received. It is true. Blessings do bring forth disasters at times. But AGAIN, our life is most of the time in disguise. To put it simply, blessings become disasters because it is a way for the person to experience or receive an even greater blessing than the previous one. We undergo disasters and blessings hand in hand because they come together.

Thus, blessings may turn out to be misfortunes, and misfortunes blessings. They change from one to the other endlessly.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining.

The flip side of a coin is just as true. When we encounter something that counts as an opportunity or a blessing, we need not let ourselves get carried away, to the point where we become blind to the adversities that are behind that blessing.

"Misfortune is what fortune depends upon
Fortune is where misfortune hides beneath

Yin contains yang; yang contains yin. Every failure harbors the hidden seed of future success; every triumph contains the covert cause of future defeat."

The Green-eyed Monster, What Else?

2009-07-11T23:57:00.000-07:00

Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others?

The answer is really simple-Jealousy.

"If I am jealous, I am unhappy because someone else has something that I do not have. I want what you have. Perhaps you are more talented than I am, perhaps you are better looking; perhaps you have more friends than I do. All of this make me unhappy because somehow I feel that all of your good things humiliate me and keep me down. Insecurity comes over me. Quite possibly, you do not even know me but then, my imagination is making me jealous."

When we see someone else who is lucky, talented or rich, somehow deep down inside, we feel that all these good fortunes of other people downgrade us. But that is not true. These good fortunes of others have nothing to do with us. Even the people who have these qualities might not know about them but we are unhappy because they have them; we are jealous. We figure that we have a right to all that everyone else has. And if we don't get it, we become an enemy of those who do.

It is jealousy that keeps people from something that would benefit them and others. They live with the thought that if one person gets ahead, it shames the rest of them. It proves the fact that when others are in a point in their lives where they feel the worst, others would feel the exact opposite for the simple reason that they are envious of what the person had gained.

To lessen their envy for a person, they celebrate when that person finally falls down. Why? It's all because for once, they finally got ahead. It is shallow happiness and a wrong one at that but most of the time, it can't be helped. It is human nature after all...

Jealousy is the mark of a proud person. He or she must be number one or else... no one else is going to be allowed to be number one. They will all be cut down to size.

It starts small and then spreads. "Jealousy rots the bones." -Proverbs 14:30

Stand by Me :)

2009-05-25T20:57:00.000-07:00

Stand by Me is the 15th single sung by J-Pop/Rock band, The Brilliant Green. it’s the 15th track in their compilation album, Complete Singles Collection ‘97-’08. The song was also used as the ending theme for the J-Dorama Tantei Gakuen Q.

lyrics

nagai ichinichi ga owari
kiete yuku kako e no tobira

You’re always on my mind so…

Stand by me

(so Stand by me oh…)

Stand by me

translation

A long day ends
and disappears towards the door to the past
From it may be hurt, but
I want to see myself to be different

Can I try? “What Should I?”
The voice has been interrupted
The thinking that sleeps inside the box of memory
You’re always on my mind so…

So stand by me
Into the rusting world What else left there?
Show me star again, Someday
The invisible glitter,
Because of you that make me aware
yeah

If by peeping people’s inner heart
that can make me happy instantly
A thing that is not belongs to anyone else
although it is just a selfish wish

but, someday it will destroys
By touching the box of glass
There is no turning back for sure So..

Stand by me
In front of the door of the resignation and the wish
Standing firm for a long time
Because it is good to come true with a friend
Becoming a special of myself

To be able to cry for someone
I still don’t understand
Only by memories, love and sad
stand by me
stand by me yeah, baby

So stand by me
(So stand by me Oh)
yeah baby, stand by me
(You’re always on my mind)
If the invisible glitter is still there,
By walking, certainly
I wish to find it with you So..
stand by me

listed. shortage of electricity. etc.etc.etc.

2009-05-21T03:05:00.000-07:00

glitter-graphics.com
And so the time came once again for me to complain. Why oh why was our place not blessed with a glorious supply of electricity for every single day? Before, I disagree a lot when most people mention that our place seemed too far out for constant communication with the world. Wherever you look at it, its location is not really that much recognized in the Philippine map. Hence, they can say that it sort of has short standards for a suitable living place.

Now I couldn't agree more. Don't get me wrong. It's not like I hate where we live. (oh yeah. I do) Fine. I do because of several reasons:

1. Usually, we experience shortage of electricity...

No duh.. as a teenager, i am well aware of the importance of conserving electricity. But see, this time the "cutting off"of electricity stroke at a very wrong time.

STORY: I was busy watching Tantei Gakuen Q live on youtube because of ryuu-kun or ryo-chan as he prefers to be called aka Yamada Ryosuke. (Kyaaa!) I already opened a lot of tabs for episodes 4 and 5 which ranged from 40 to 45 minutes respectively and that excludes the wait during loading. [ugh. damn internet connection. so slow.] So... After finishing episode 3, i went out to the kitchen to eat lunch. (I wasn't really hungry... psychologically... but my stomach begged to differ. So as to not upset it, i shoved the food in my mouth as fast as i cold because the whole time, i was fantasizing about ryuu-kun.)*sigh* Once finished, i raced back to the pc and imagine my surprise when i saw a blank screen. *cries* Shortage of electricity! It took 3 hours to load those episodes! Well, you do know how i feel right? T^T

2. At times, the internet would suddenly disconnect...

yes, the internet. no teenager (unless those completely unaware of the opportunities which the world wide web used regarding free watching of Jdramas, animes, movies, and the like holds) could survive without the internet unless no unexpected occurences take place. well, at times, the internet would just vanish whenever i need it the most. hmmm... an instance would be while i was about to read Gakuen alice mang chapter something ( a chapter where natsume and mikan would be too kawaii to resist) when the network got disconnected. And to think that i was about to read the climax. again. *sigh*

3. Delayed text messages...
translated version: No signal, out of coverage--> DEAD
I can't even check my balance because it always says ERROR. End of explanation.

4. TEMPERATURE RISE
omg. HOT. HOT. HOT.

*SIGH*

end of topic:this post is somehow becoming too pessimistic.

ps.
now, the electricity finally came back. [whew. I managed to endure the suffering] i'm back to watching Tantei Gakuen Q again . [weee. Ryuu-kan! hello! Ü]

10 minutes

2009-05-04T18:17:00.000-07:00

Warning: Donot read this post. :p

15 minutes more... damn. I have to go to another review session if it weren't for the yes camp. Well, I can't blame that, the camp was fun, apart from the boring course we took that is. Oh well, it can't be helped.

A week of stay in Baguio taught me a lot of things. Part of which is on how to be independent. I've actually managed to do that at home, being alone most of the time. -end of drama-

Seriously, I loved our stay there. I went with my friends in escaping the boring environment at times. [well, we usually have a reason for such and we always ask permission from our mentors] Ü

When I got back from Baguio, boredom embraced my return. ugh.

First time at home and I got fever. Frustrating? I didn't mind it though. I watched HOUSE M.D. season 5 from 9 am to 10 pm. XD Yes, I'm a certified addict.

Now, I've only got 10 minutes to type this. haha.
Who the heck would type a blog while being subjected under time pressure?
lol. *raises hand* I would.

It's 1 and a half hour when I commute to noveletta. I can't remain just plainly seated through all that time. I keep fidgeting. If not, I might scan my lectures which might lessen brain hemorrhage during the later lessons.

Our house is being haunted by a ghost? *sigh*

I'm hungry. tired. and... excited.

the reason for the latter feeling-->my cellphone will be fixed already! yey!

Ok, to hell with this post. You do know the reason for this right?

I just want to proclaim my sense of attitude towards boredom. ^_^

Late warning: Hope you didn't read., Ü

I Know What I did Last Summer

2009-04-15T03:18:00.000-07:00

This summer actually... :p

:)
So... Summer became not so badafter all. My usual happy moods are all thanks to my friends who are with me every single day. [not an exaggeration] I'm also very grateful to the new hobbies which I managed to indulge myself to. Ü

Road Trips
Oh yeah. :D
We definitely went on a lot of road trips. I don't know the first or the foremost but I do know the memorable ones. Most of the time, I was uninformed of the occasion or where we would be going. That time, I was just watching Bring it on 3 with my brother when my mom suddenly called me telling me to get dressed appropriately asap. She said it with a face that says "like.. now would be the time." I thought we would be hiking so I wore shorts, blouse, and rubber shoes. of course the cap was there. Unfortunately, my damn brain interpreted the wrong idea again. We would be having the Visita Iglesia (pardon me if the spelling is wrong.) and I was all wrong with the dress. But no matter, we went on with that like it was the simplest thing in the world.

In the end, we reached Tagaytay! And that really emphasized my lack of sensibility when it comes to clothing. Ü [*stooped*]

Here are things that made me think how *bizzarre* I really am:
1. I did not bring the clothing necessities. I mean who would ever think that the first thing you go on a road trip is the mountain? Gawsh.
2. There was an instance when we came across Toni G. and her bf's family. I was like neutral and I said: "Ahh.. si Toni un. aun si Direk Paul." with no emotion at all. I don't know why. Then, my mom and cousins were like:"anu kb? nkta mo cla, nd mo agad cnabi...xet. masyado kong npastare kay direk, di ko nakita si Toni." XD For that, I apologize. Ü
3. It was freezing cold in Tagaytay and I bought White Mocha Frap. in Starbuckz. [My couzins bought espresso, coffee, and the like. u know, hot stuff?] :)

Glimpse pa lang yan actually. lol.

Review! Review! Review!
I don't do that. haha. Well, I'm doing that now. MWFs are the allotted times for our reviews. [review center: Noveletta's Atheneum]. Thank Goodness I managed to persuade my classmates from San Miguel and Maragondon, parochial babies, John-C, Rox, and Zhai, to review with me. Now we commute together and sometimes with enough luck, my uncle or brother picks us up[oops. wrong term. can't think anymore] from there thereby lowering our wastage of money. :)

During the review, I'm with my classmates from CNSHS so it was not boring at all. Except for the brain bleeding part and the 5 hour session, it's not so bad. Ü

..to be continued...

sadly, I'm tired while typing this. Because of that I need a rest. I barely passed the science exam in the review. *sigh* I have to study. Oh well...

I silently hope that...

the outing will be pushed through tomorrow! *fingers crossed*.

Free Spirited Ü

2009-04-05T17:47:00.000-07:00

It's April 6 and counting... I'm at home (weird enough) and bored. T_T Well, I like to keep track of the many things that I did this weekend. Maybe I'll criticize myself once in a while. Here's my list. Ü

Long hours of movie marathons
I guess that's why they're called movie marathons in the first place. I didn't buy dvds for this week. I just rented somewhere which Dar recommended. I rented the ff:
-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (nice, long, and dramatic in a way)
-Confessions of a Shopaholic (funny but I didn't finish it since it's piracy already reached up to 70% which in random language means that the dialogues are delayed) grrrr.
-The Hottie and the Nottie (so cute)
-No Reservations (Very nice! and romantic! Ü. Kinilig aq dito.)
-Cutting Edge 3 (i think the plot's a fast one but the moves are great.)
-Enchanted (didn't finish this. again, piracy is up to 70%. How sad.)
-The Messengers (not so scary but still good.)
-Night at the Museum (like it!)

Well, that's all for the movies. I hope I can buy Heroes season 3 on DVD. *fingers crossed* and as for the long vacation, I'll rent some more! :)

Greenbelt-Ü
Though I love greenbelt, I'm somehow getting bored when I'm in greenbelt 1. When I'm in greenbelt 5, I know there are a lot of stores to visit, but I'm not that good in window shopping. {a lot of temptations involved. I can't control myself. XD} So instead, I'm just eating with my brother. *sigh*

ps. I always say goodbye to my money whenever we go there.

CC is already a mall. still small though.
CC aka Cash and Carry in Manila is already a mall. Just to show us around, my mom asked us go there. (Parking is always a problem but we got through with it.)
The first thing that caught my attention were the side stores. I don't think you can call them side stores 'cause they were positioned at one place. (all of them were positioned at some place.)

I ate siomai combo 3 times. (Japanese, pork and shrimp, and beef siomai.) XD
I dropped by to jollibee 3 times. (They really lacked fast food stores. I don't have much money for restaurants.)

and lastly...

I spent my brother's money for 20 tokens in timezone which we used in playing air hockey and basketball. [I can't beat him. T_T]
There was also this kid who kept on scoring us in airhockey even though a giant score was plastered at the top. Well, it's fine since he's giving me the hockey thing when it passes at the middle. :)

.Tired of typing.

I can't remember anything that I did anymore.
I have alzheimer's now. :p

demands:
-I want a phone. as in telephone? we don't have one!
-A cellphone. Yep, mine already DOM. [Died on Mercy. poor thing.]
-New earphones for my ipod [I'm not going deaf, it's the earphone's problem.--> least dat's wat my classmate said.]

datz ol. Ü

imiss3N.

*sigh* it's going to be a pretty long vacation.

What Happens in Heaven Ü

2009-04-03T04:53:00.001-07:00

This is one of the nicest mails I have seen and is so true:

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them."

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed "How is it that? There's no work going on here?" I asked.

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.

"Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. "If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

Also ....

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.

"If you can attend a church meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.

"If your parents are still alive and still married . you are very rare.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair."

OK, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

Attn: Acknowledge Dept.: Thank You Lord! "Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with."

Frenzy >.<

2009-03-07T02:16:00.000-08:00

Status: I'm in a panic right now. So why do I still have time for typing this? Well.. For the sake of volunteered information (you can't decline), I do this all the time when I need to calm my nerves. Today, they're totally in berserk mode. I know, I know, I've been relaxing most of the time in school and now we've just been informed that our research paper would be passed on MONDAY! Oh, btw, It's Saturday night today. Earlier, we still practiced for the JS. T_T

I have two topics stuck in my mind for the research which I have no intention of sharing here... Or else, this entry would be so damn boring. Let me summarize it for you. Apart from the project in PE, the assignments in Chemistry (a whole chapter), Health (lecture lessons 1-6), Math (Circle), Zoology (something about the repro. system. grrrr.), Filipino (need costume A.S.A.P), the reporting in Music (that's even different from the achievement test which we need to complete by monday too.), and the irritating research paper..., I have absolutely nothing else to worry about. :p

Oh yeah. And the finals would be next2x week. I think.

>.< I so have everything to worry about!

waaaaah!
.
.
.
.

I just need to calm down.
so right now, my nails are painted 5 different colors. :)

oh well...

time to get to work.

Sooo Simple yet Sooo Complicated Ü

2009-02-27T04:56:00.000-08:00

This is of no relation to our English project. This blog entry is my very first entry in multiply and I'm generous. I just want to share. :p

In behalf of the grammatical errors, well 'course they can't talk, I do apologize. :)

It's like I'm back to first grade when I typed this.. It's too direct. XD

*START HERE*

ok. This is practically a do or die decison. [lols. kidding] The reason I posted this is because... well, dont have much of a reason for it.

.CHOICES. DECISIONS.CHANGES.GOOD/BAD

yup. In life, one thing can lead to the other and each has it's own consequences, whether good or bad. The point is I'm stuck in making sooooo many decisions and believe me, I want the right one. :)) haaay... eto n nga, malagay na rn d2. Bka mtulungan mo pa kong magdecide.. XD

Before that, I'd like to make something clear. There's a level of arrangement here. From light-minded [is there such a word!? haha. this thing is making my vocabulary go berserk.] to those w/c really require a great deal of thinking. haha.

.PROCEEDING.

Light ones...

Piano or Guitar?

Don't laugh just yet. ya, i know i can stick to playing both instruments but i just want to focus on one. [ung tlgang comfy aq] So, do I choose something which I really want [badly] or that which i can play really well? in other words... Gusto ko tlaga mag piano, kea lng mdyo nd carry. haha. Almost every music sheet given to me gets rejected by.. well, me. lol.Also, I keep looking at the piano sheets of Canon Variations.. Tried to print it many times but my mind just can't bear the notes. haha. [hanggang page 3 lng tlaga tpos close n nmn ung MS word] Give me a century before i can learn to play one. :(( Iba nmn sa guitar. kc comfy aq dun tska i can play whatever i want. [course I have limits.] taglish nrn s wakas.

oOps. guess there's only one "choice-pair" that is classified as "light" [ung nd kelangng seryosohin. hehe]

Realizing that, let's now go to the... uhm.. [need-to-decide-carefully ones] dunno what term to use.

Okie. Here it goes.

Category: Myself

What others expect or what I really want?

time is ONE important factor in this one. kc nmn. anu b tlga? ung "kla2 ko s gn2.. kea gnun na lng..." or ung "This is me. no matter what others think." nax nmn. [ngu2luhan k nb? peace!] What I want to say is, I think it shouldn't matter what others think. Just be who you want to be. Can't believe I still posted that one when I've already decided on it myself. Just want to share. ^^

Category: Friends

Those who wants you to change for the better or Those who accept you for who you really are?

Haaaay. This one's tough. Can't explain it in my terms too. But I guess I prefer the latter.

LASTLY...

Security or Happiness?

haha. Someone sent me a txt message about that topic and I really went overboard with reading it again and again. lol.

Security-Freedom from doubt, anxiety, or fear; confidence.; Freedom from risk or danger; safety.If you choose this, you're someone who'd rather be at the sidelines rather than going up front. Prang, mas mgnda na ung safe & contented.

Happiness-Enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy.If you elaborate this further, happiness also means doing everything it takes to just for a matter of satisfaction, meaning you'd rather take risks as long as you know that you'll be happy in the end.

Anu b tlga? ang gulo nuh?? hehe. That's the mystery of life nga dw. Maraming kguluhan. But each mystery is always enjoyable to think about.

-lal0 n pg b0red- haha. :))

+ There are really many things to think about in this soooo overly exaggerated mysterious COMPLICATED world... +

17's Change Your Rep Step by Step Ü

2009-02-27T04:54:00.000-08:00

Just want to share an article I read [again. Haha.] in seventeen’s June 2006 issue. The issue goes way back since that was only a free copy I got from the sketchers dance competition [w/c I am only an audience btw. Lol.] Anyway, I decided to browse through the mag again because of the boredom I was going through at HOME. Thus the article…

CHANGE YOUR REP STEP BY STEP

Reclaim your good name in four easy steps. By: Shiloah Matic

If you find yourself hiding out in your room, vowing not to resurface until you can a)leave town or b)change your name because there’s no way you’re ever going to live down your ruined rep, we feel for you. Who hasn’t been there, wished they hadn’t done that?

A reputation is a priceless possession. Time may heal a lot of wounds, but a damaged rep doesn’t just repair itself over time. So take action! Seventeen shows you how.

STEP 1: change your look

It’s been said over and again that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But fact is, people often do. It’s only natural; even in nature, sometimes perception is more important than reality. The easiest way to make people see you differently is to dress the part. Changing your outward appearance subtly signals to people that you’ve also changed inside-and makes them take a second look at who you are. Once you’ve got their attention, you can show them the new and improved you.

STEP 2: change your character

Your reputation is what people say about you; your character is who you really are. To truly change how people see you, you have to become the person you want to be. And unlike a new outfit you can instantly put on to appear different, changing your ways will take longer and more effort. The key is to tackle them one at a time. List down all the traits, habits, and behavior that may be giving you a bad rep. Then choose the one that’s most holding you back from becoming your best self. Finally, start a new habit-one that directly counteracts your bad habit. Practice it in a noticeable way. Doing this allows the people around you to see that you’re actually trying to change.

STEP 3: change your crowd

One saying is that people do take to heart is that birds of a feather flock together. Hang out with the right crowd, and their rep becomes your rep. unfortunately, the opposite is just as true. Befriend the “bad” kids, and you’ll be one of them before you can even strike a match. It’s not so much your rep you should be worrying about as it is your lifestyle. When your barkada is constantly pressuring you to make the wrong choices, it’s only a matter of time before you give in or they give up. True friends should never make you do something that could hurt you, and if yours do, it’s time for a relationship reevaluation.

STEP 4: Change your mindset

If the only reason you want to change your image is ‘cause you’re obsessed about what others think of you, you may find yourself on a never-ending wild-goose chase for perfection and acceptance. Hey, you can’t please everyone, and there will always be talk as people try to fit you into the mold of what they want you to be. Change your image because you want to improve yourself. You can’t lose a healthy mindset like that. Obsessing about what others think can cause you to start believing that’s who you are-and that’s all you can be…

-that's about it- [learned something? Hope so.]

Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infection :p

2009-02-20T03:38:00.000-08:00

Warning: This post is so out of place. Unfortunately, typing is what I need the most right now to make my mind work at least. I haven't released my thoughts for more than 3 weeks now. [not really a month.. but anyway who's counting?] I seriously don't know what to type about. I'm late for 3 blog posts or more and no topic reaches my brain. Ü

Last last week, we had a lot of free times. Specifically, those were during Chemistry and Statistics. Well, we only experienced them for a short period of time though since the detestable seat works ruined our freedom with their presence. ugh. Also, our time during Statistics was now taken by two subjects. [Mapeh and AP] :( Oops. I'm being sarcastic again. sorry.

So much for those free times... I was unlucky again this week for a lot of reasons and I'm pretty much ready to elaborate each one. Ü

First of all, I got SICK
Of course, SICK in various languages as well as in our own language requires a large range of specification. I, for one, had a familiar sickness known as.... [d*rum roll*] Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. Nose bleeding? Don't worry. It's also known as the horrible Flu. XD

Second on my list--> we did a lot of memorization..
No. I couldn't care less on the fact that I had to memorize. It was the purpose that bothered me. Public speaking [Oration and Declamation this time..] was not exactly on my list of faves. Thankfully, I got through it all.

Third was that our semi-finals would be next week! OMG.
I've never been ready during PTs since... HISTORY! But of course, I got so used to those announcements that I forgot how I reacted before. I hope I can study this time. Frankly, I don't think so since we'll be having the practice for the Sadulawit this week at Ria's house. *sigh* Life is really busy nowadays.

We're also practicing for our JS Prom..Ü Like I said, life is soo busy. Thank goodness we're not yet turned into bumble bees. see Ü next week!

Bargain for Experience Ü

2009-02-01T02:08:00.000-08:00

I'm lost. I need appropriate adjectives to describe this week's events. Somehow though, I can't manage to grasp anything. Ü Two exciting events led to feelings of ecstasy this week. Let me start with the first.

***

On top of my list would be our visit to PSHS aka Philippine Science High School. Like any normal person, I didn't get to go to dream land that night. I got 4 hours of sleep... I think. Plans were already registered in my mind. "Alpha would go to our house at 4:30, We'll arrive in school at 4:50, Get out of school to travel at 5:00." Unfortunately, none of those were followed. *sigh* I'm stuck with the old news flash excuse of my stupid alarm didn't go off! So of course, I woke up at 4:15. Don't even ask me how I managed to get ready in just 15 minutes.

***

Still, we arrived in school at 4:50. Dar was already there with some teachers. We went to the III-N room since we would have to leave our school stuff there as planned. I immediately felt weird and really experience pain which I had no idea where that was coming from. So, we just left the vicinity at a fast pace. Ü [Of course, it would be better if you all know what I'm talking about.]

***

To cut the long story short, most of the students were late. The bus even got lost. We left the school at 5:30 or a little bit later I think. Then, we fetched the other students and teachers in Naic and Tanza. I felt fine during the travel. No dizziness, boredom, stiffness... nothing. I just enjoyed listening to my ipod the whole time. I wish I could say the same thing for my classmates though.

***

When we arrived in Phi.Sci., our first impressions suddenly came all out. Like, they look so intelligent, their campus is so huge, The teachers couldn't care less if they were using a laptop while walking in the corridor. Waaah. I so envy them.

***

The first thing I loved about Phi. Sci. was the book fair! I really didn't expect that! There were a lot of books and I immediately fixed my gaze on the Twilight Saga. I finally managed to snag a copy of Twilight and New Moon and now my collection is complete! Yey!!! :) Just so you know, I really don't mind being floooded by books as long as they're not textbooks.

***

Now, I'll talk about the program. The emcee during the program was so good. Also, there was a presentation by Sagala (Sayaw at Galaw) while they dance to the tune of Superhuman (Now one of my, as well as Dar's fave song!) while we stared at them with awe. Well, after that we had the symposium in the gym for 2 hours.

***

Then, we had the workshops. I was in Chem. Magic with Dar, Ria, Mikee, ate Maikka, and Justin. We conducted a lot of experiments though we already knew some of those. We also had a very cute groupmate! He's just a fourth grader and he doesn't understand some of the experiments but he was very much amazed. Oh, he's really cute.... :p

***

After the workshops, we had our lunch in the cafeteria. [Just a better word for canteen. lol.] Oh, actually before that, we bought our food in the booths. They were a lot of them. We just ate the Korean Barbeque. We also bought Zagu...The line was so long! Thankfully, we survived. Ü

***

So much for that. I was dozzing off during the Math competition. I mean, I can't relate! haha. We soon left Phi. Sci. afterwards. Our travel time was so long! I think our bus got lost though I had no idea how a bus can get lost in Manila. 3 hours became 4 or 5 hours. Wow.

...tired of typing...

***

Our last stop was at SM Bacoor. I bought a book-Marley and Me. I think it's a tearjerker. I wanted to buy DVDs as well but I didn't want my Christmas money to leave me so fast. I managed to survive and look away from all the temptations especially the books and CDs. XD

***

That's all. Whew. I'll post another one about the family day once I have free time on my hands. But seeing as that's not possible as of this moment, Buhbye for now! Ü

70% bizzare >.<

2009-01-24T19:26:00.000-08:00

There were about three things which made the week different from how it should be. First was the RAT (Regional Achievement Test) which would be taken by random students of high, middle, and lower boundaries. The hard part was we were separated from each other (by we, I mean our classmates in N) since students from the other section reviewed for the RAT as well. I could only see my other friends during break times and dismissal. :( *sniff*

I felt like it was difficult to review. Uhm.. Not because the topics were out of this world but because the room was enveloped with silence most of the time! I'm really not the silent type. Regardless, I could still keep my mouth zipped. Oh well, at least AP became somewhat enjoyable because of zero pressure.

Second was the Campus Idol Auditions. This were done by all year levels. The juniors and seniors had it last week and this week it was the Freshies and the Sophies turn. We didn't get to watch the first part because of the review but after that, we managed to catch the other performances. Of course, they were awesome. I really enjoyed it. Singing contests are fun to watch. Besides that, last week, 4 of my classmates joined and they were all close friends of mine. :)

Lastly, there were some news that made this week really really surprising. BUT... That's just better kept to myself. Ü

Well, till here. I hope I could catch up on the lessons that we missed while reviewing. Buhbye!

Friday-one of the days I came to love and hate. Love? Yah. It's basically the last day of school so week so I always plan to enjoy this one the most. Hate? I sort of end up having the most abundant number of bad lucks during this day. This week wasn't any different. When I went to school, I was cheerful since we wouldn't do so much things this day. We don't have our favorite subject. [*evil laugh*] :p I talked during fil. time with my classmates but during Chemistry, I went to the Chem. lab with Esie without an umbrella. It was drizzling. No big deal-for my brain. Ü

Unfortunately, my immune system thought otherwise. It was just one walk. Then, during stat, I could barely keep my eyes open-not because I was sleepy but because I was so tired. It was the same thing during Physics but it just became worse. My brain became impermeable to the lessons. how sad.

I finally figured that I was having fever. It's my first fever this school year. At least there's an improvement. Last school year, I've always had fever every month or so. I need vegetables but I really don't eat them. Sorry for me.

Esie went to our house during 7 pm. We had a sleepover so as to finish the term paper. I really want to avoid cramming during the school days. Thankfully, we finish almost all of it except for the interview. Well, Esie did most of it. My brain won't function properly because of the fever-stupid. It went on maintenance just when I needed it the most.

It was fun anyway. When we were about to sleep, we talked about a lot. I even told her the story of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn! [brief intros and unforgettable spoilers only. Ü]

I slept at 1 am.

SATURDAY was sooo boring. I coudn't do anything. The electricity was on and off. I slept most of the time. Then when I woke up, there was already electricity! On the other hand, SUNDAY was mostly spent throught eating. haha! My mom brought a lot of food from their "conference" in greenhills.

I need a lot of check ups tomorrow. :( Oh well... see ya next week then!

2008-12-28T16:09:00.000-08:00

2nd week of vacation. [Saturday and Sunday as usual]

Saturday came and I knew that I had to get up early. Last night, I spent my time reading New Moon. I was done with Twilight in less than a day so I returned it to my cousin and borrowed the New Moon. Waaah!! It's so good! [Twilight first before New Moon since I'm not Jacob Black's no.1 fan]. We arrived in Manila at 8 am. My cousins were with me. We didn't go with my brother. We went to Greenhills and once again, I rode in the troublesome LRT. joking. I love the LRT. haha.

In greenhills, we first ate in a lot of fast food chains. KFC-->Mc Cafe-->Krispy Kreme-->etc.
Then, we went shopping! I really don't want to spend my money because I was planning to buy Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Yes, I am so addicted now. After shopping, I looked for it in Fully Booked. OUT of stock. POWER BOOKS? out of stock. I found a lot in some Goodwill Bookstore! Yey!!!!

Later on, we went to stop by ate joy and ate jex's dorms. During the stop at ate jex's dorms, we ate our supposed lunch in Max's. Then, we proceeded to greenbelt already. *sigh* Even while narrating this story, i feel tired. :p We looked in NBS and Powerbooks for Twilight and New Moon, even though I already read those. haha. OUT OF STOCK! Anyway, we end up ordering at starbucks. I forgot that I should order coffee-based caramel frap! I ended up getting the cream-based. How sad.

My mom got out of work early so we went to Moa, watched the fireworks, ate at some restau, and shopped again Seriously, after 2 days of staying at home. I was out of home everyday during the last weeks. How very tiring. :) But I must say.. FUN.

Whenever I'm lucky enough to stay at home, I spend my time finishing the twilight saga. One book per day. It's really easy to read. I'm in Eclipse now. [meaning I only stayed at home for 2 days] I pity myself at times. Ü

I need a rest right now, so I'm finishing Eclipse after this! buhbye!

Savings-->Shopping :)

2008-12-28T15:43:00.000-08:00

Nothing much happened this Christmas vacation. Well nothing wouldn't actually be the right word. During the first week of the vacation, [mainly Dec. 20 onwards though 25 is out of it]. I never stayed home a lot of times but during the few times that I stayed at home, I was engrossed to watching HEROES, a TV series which my cousin luckily got on DVD. It was great especially since West Rosen aka Nicholas D' Agosto was one of the cutest guys ever! Ü lol. [Sometimes, Esie comes to our house and we start on the term paper thing.]

On the contrary, when I was finally out of the boredom of home, I was at Manila. I never intended to be a shopaholic there since my desire to be one outlives my current savings. Such a sad fact. [I'm sure that fact is about to change by Christmas, not that I'm a fortune teller or anything. Fact always changes.] It was a long way there as usual and I always don't have a thing for buses. ugh. This week, my problem with the bus I rode was the seat. I won't elaborate that any further. :p

We always hang out in Greenbelt. I told my brother that I want to watch Twilight since it was on the list. We watched it after I agreed to pay him a hundred after Christmas. It was great when I watched that. My disappointment came after I read the book. But that was really a long time after. Ü Besides, Edward Cullen aka Rob Pattinson is fitted for the role anyway.

You don't want to know how long we walked just to go Christmas shopping. My mom had a lot on the shopping list. There wasn't anything to do in Greenbelt except eat so we went to Landmark. We got so into shopping that after a while, when our senses were back, Landmark was already closing. Then we went to Glorietta, only an hour left before it closes though. We went to a lot of stores but bought something in only one. Lucky store. and then....

.HOME SWEET HOME. :)

Shopaholic :p

2008-12-14T00:49:00.000-08:00

This week was fun but sort of frustating all the same. Here's the story. :p It was saturday morning when I received a text message from Squeezy. She said that they were going to SM dasma and she was wondering if I could come. I said yes right after I was allowed. :) So, I screamed with joy inside since I was about to die with the boredom at home. Thanks to that salvation. Later, she told me that we will go there at about 5 pm and I barely registered that it my mind since they have a car anyway.

Soon, it was time to leave. [haha. I skipped the details regarding my time at home. It was really boring. :(] I rode in her cousin's car and maxine was there. She was so Kulhetz. I got really dizzy at first because she was really hyper. Then, we arrived in SM Dasma. We went to a lot of shops. Basically, our purpose for going there was to buy gifts for Christmas. [Squeezy's purpose that is] We went to Blue Magic first to buy our gift for the Something special exchange gift. I bought a... oh I can't tell it since if I do, that would be broadcasting it to the whole class. xp

Afterwards, Squeezy and I went to a lot of SHOPS to buy gifts for her mom, sister,brother, grandmother, etc.etc. The shops we went to are the ff. though they don't have a particular relevance to this entry:
-Blue Magic
-Penshoppe
-Bench
-Von Dutch
-Department store [really long list of stores :)]
-Celine
-Rusty Lopez
-Accesoriz? [can't remember the spelling]
-Jollibee [for dinner]
-sorry.. I already forgot the others. [short term memory loss]

I was tired when I arrived home.
...and then came the bad news.

.nevermind the bad news.

I immediately slept after that. That's all for now! Our PT is on Tuesday and I don't want to cram so I want to force myself to study now. Buhbye! :)

Protecting the Speechless Ü

ANNA NIEVES H. CABRERA is in her element. The Filipina is holding up two dog puppets, Brownie and Itchy, and animatedly singing before a class of rapt preschoolers. Then, for an encore, she introduces Big Boy, a Labrador, to the children so they can pat and hug a real dog.

Although the Philippines' comprehensive Animal Welfare Act is often cited as an example for other Asian countries to aspire to, the sad reality is that Filipinos are largely ignorant of how to be responsible pet owners. Using her puppets and songs, Cabrera, a director of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), is trying to change this reality.

Anna teaches Filipinos how to be
responsible pet owners

Cabrera has seen many acts of cruelty towards animals in her nine years as a PAWS volunteer. Last May, for instance, the group's animal rescue team saved Tiger, a four-month-old puppy who was run over by a tricycle. The accident tore Tiger's upper snout and left it hanging loose. To make matters worse, a man had cut off the flapping skin, completely exposing Tiger's nostrils. The puppy had been suffering for two weeks when the team brought it to the PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center (PARC), in Quezon City, for treatment.

In the face of such cruelty, Cabrera sometimes gets discouraged. Still, the many acts of kindness she witnesses at PARC keep her going. The shelter is a sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals. On any given day, PAWS volunteers groom and prepare animals for adoption, exercise and feed them, clean animal cages, find homes for rescued animals, and process the needed paperwork.

In July, Tiger found a new home and now a team of doctors is waiting for the puppy to turn a year old so they can put a permanent artificial nose on him.

"The work we do for the animals is work for the soul," says Cabrera. "We're never thanked with words by our rescued animals, we're thanked with wags of the tail and licks on our faces. We're thanked by Christmas cards from families whose adopted pets are their pride and joy."

With funding from the Hong Kong-based Animals Asia Foundation, Cabrera is now able to bring Brownie, Itchy and Big Boy to more schools and more school children.

Eating Sessions :p

2008-12-09T04:38:00.000-08:00

I thought Sunday was just going to be normal during this week. Fortunately again, I was wrong! We didn't go to church since my mom was running a fever and she needed company so I stayed home with her. I just cooked noodles for breakfast. :p After that, I did all my assignments especially AP which was terribly long. waaaah!

During the afternoon, my cousin went to our house and asked me if I would go to the Baptismal celebration in Noveleta.[correct me in the spelling if I'm wrong. Ü] I agreed after long hours of thinking. That time, I was downloading songs from Taylor Swift's new album, Fearless.

When we arrived at the place, I was kind of amazed. The venue was great! It had 2 swimming pools and a lot of balloons with bears inside. Uhmm.. here are some pics.

after the baptismal ceremony, we proceeded to the eating session. :) Well, the food was great! We didn't skip any. While I was eating, I noticed that there was a chocolate fountain! waaaah! I got a lot. wahaha.

after the eating session, there was a singer present and it's like we were in a comedy bar. It was so much fun overall! The last pic we took was me and my cousin outside the venue. ^_^

☼ Citrus Fruits ☼

2008-11-28T20:13:00.000-08:00

I slept really well last night. I just want to emphasize that since before, I always had trouble sleeping so now I have something to be happy about. :p

My normal routine this Saturday should have been waking up and then indulging in my favorite show (House M.D.) for the entire day. Unfortunately, I didn't do my normal routine which is somewhat good news. I woke up at 6 am and prepared for a game of badminton (again!) with our maid and my aunt. First, I played with Ate Amy and then with Ate Aileen and Tita Isty. I wasn't exactly filled with sweat after the games but I was still tired. I thought we would be going home already but then my uncle told us that they will go to his farm to pick citrus fruits. [calamansi. lol.]

I went with them because I really love going to the farm. A lot of fresh air is present and besides, I like to climb trees and have picknics too. My uncle drived up to the farm and we took some pictures of the sceneries. First, we picked the fruits. While they were picking, I was climbing the tree as well and I didn't reach the top because there were a lot of ants. grrrrr. We got a lot of the fruits and filled 2 sacks and a basket. Ü

After that, I played with the water there since my feet were covered with mud. [you know what I mean.] We went back to their house. I was so tired but it was very refreshing. We ate fried bananas. I was so full by the time that we went home. *sigh* HOME SWEET HOME.

Well, I have to watch HOUSE M.D. now. This is a rather short entry but I'll continue it if I'll do something exciting during our 3-day weekend! Ü

Inverse Proportionality

2008-11-21T20:18:00.000-08:00

"If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is." ~John Louis von Neumann

That saying is relevant to my post since this week the main event of our school is the Math festival. This however is not only for those who love numbers. There were a number of activities held which involved competition and fun at the same time. During the earlier times, I have little knowledge of what took place. I was in the room playing the keyboard with my classmates since the events during those times were done in "inside" rooms. I like playing the keyboard/piano so I think I'm going to pursue my hobby of learning new piano pieces. Ü

After some time, the others called us because the math quiz would already start. They told us that it was required for us to answer the questions given since it would be an output in math. I went with Esie to the gym and the program began with the easy questions, followed by the average, and the difficult ones. I could barely get correct answers. How sad. Anyway, our representatives for that particular contest won 4th place out of 16 so it was just okay.

I went with Esie, Alpha, Ria, Bless, and Nobie during lunch. We ate in Jem'z.[is the spelling right?] After eating, I was so full. We still went to the stores in Balitao because Nobie needed to laminate his I.D. On the way, we bought cotton candy. We were laughing at Ria and Bless because they bought a lot of food even after we already ate lunch. They still bought tacos and others. :p

During the afternoon, the program started with the Mr. and Ms. Mathaba. hehe. The contestants were all great! The audience [well, of course, including me] kept screaming and clapping at the performances. After that, the Math Jingles followed. Well, good news is the juniors won first place there. Congratz! Ü

I went to the room after the program. I was talking with Pam and Esie when I noticed that the tower of hanoi was in front of me. I tried playing it but I had no idea how. Then, Dar and the others taught me how and I eventually learned it. Now, I finished once with a record of one minute something... Yey! :)

That's all for this week. Nothing much happened during the other days. We have a lot of assignments especially in Filipino so I have to start doing those now. Btw, we have a new schedule. I don't know if I'm supposed to be thrilled about it or not. Well anyway, Buhbye for now!!

My friend said this one's cute. Agree?

~Yuki

Rush Hour

2008-11-15T04:30:00.000-08:00

I hate to break it up to you or to myself but for this month... I'll be changing my blog style.. I mean, the writing part. Ü SO sorry but it has to be formally informal this time. I hope you got that. It means I'll be typing in a justified and unified paragraph. Starting....today. :)

In some ways, this week was sort of a rush for us. There were a lot of requirements to be passed particularly the comics in math. I finished it so all is well. I don't have much to say about our topics in school so I might as well move to the highlight of this week.

"Are you nervous"? is one of the statements which I commonly hear during Fridays. Why? Because the the dreaded day finally came-the PTC, short for Parent-teacher Conference. Whatever it is about the PTC, it surprisingly doesn't bother me at all. First reason is because my parents give me very little pressure which is hardly noticeable if you were in my place. Second is because I know that I already did my best and whatever happens is the outcome of all my efforts. Yey for me. :)

However, it is uncommon for students to feel relaxed during the distribution of report cards so I might have some abnormality. hehe. Anyway, the result of the PTC was just how I hoped it would be. Most of my grades became high especially in Physics and Filipino. I hope I can maintain those grades. If not, then get higher ones. I only have one disappointment in my card and that is my grade in Zoology. I think all of us who were in that elective got lower grades. It is unfortunate but sadly, it wasn't the result of what we really got and it's a pretty long story. But anyway, what's done is done and I have no regrets. Ü

We don't have the results for our rank in the class yet because we don't have our grade in advanced statistics for the mean time. *fingers crossed* I hope I'll be able to get a good enough grade in that subject.

Oh well... As one of the prizes for my efforts, I got cadbury chocolates! WAHAHA! Ü GTG now. I haven't done any of my assignments yet. Buhbye!

..can't wait for Christmas! Ü

waaah! I want a bunny!

Downcast sigh

2008-11-08T02:37:00.000-08:00

I'll say this for the first time--> NoSeBleeD :p
hmm.. The exams were during the last 2 days of this week so at first, I wasn't so worried about it. Unfortunately, I should've BEEN. During the night before the first 4 exams, I studied hard because I was bored. If I wasn't, I won't study. haha. Still, I slept at 11 but my brain forced me to wake up at 2:30. It's really automatic. lol. No more details.

Day 1---> PT 2.2
The next day, the exam in math was a bit long. [Is it just me who thinks this way?] AP is sooooo difficult and long. I was able to answer some though. English was just fine. Then, Adv. stat was... undescribable. I have to say my answers were all hypothetical.

Day 2---> PT 2.2
This is creepy. During the PT 2.2, my testpapers always got stares. [uhm, from myself of course] I stared at it for a minute or two because there are three choices. It's either the test is (a)difficult, (b)Long, and (c)BOTH!. The last is always more common. Chemistry was full of computations. Even the last part would really make you cram! OMG. Physics, on the other hand, was okay except for the part that I didn't get the hidden message. After that, I took my recess because I was really hungry and I couldn't go on without food. Ü

Filipino was very LONG. The last two exams made me bleed into my brain. Thankfully, I'm not yet dead. XD MAPEH and ZOOLOGY, the two subjects I hate the most. Oh well... I'm expecting for bloody testpapers again.

Claros mishap(s)
waaaahh! Ok. Let me explain the reason behind that weird outburst. I went to claros with elai during the afternoon of the first PTs. I ordered for a selecta 1. AS IN A-meaning only ONE selecta 1. I said "isa po". Then, it was a very long wait. When the waiter arrived, he had TEN selecta 1s all packed in styrofoams as well as the iced teas. what the!? Maybe he heard "Sampu" waaaah. :(

Whether I paid for those or not, it still had that terrible outcome.

Guitar
Yey! My guitar was fixed already!!! I asked my classmate to tune it too. It sounds great again. I love it! :)

Comics, etc.etc.
Well, I have to go now since we have few but long assignments. Next week is the math thingy and the PTC. Goodluck to us! Ü

BBQ

2008-11-07T14:19:00.000-08:00

Sembreak getaway

Before having the sembreak,we already planned an overnight during the first day-October 27. Since I'm the host, I know all the details and sequences. wahaha. Alpha arrived first at 10 am. [very early] We were bored because our other classmates were not yet there so we played the pc and watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre. While watching that, Ria arrived and she brought a lot of chips! And so we ate. Ü I really want to emphasize that we ate and ate a lot. haha.

I'll skip the details because I'm not a born- story teller. I'm just talkative. :) Anyway, we also went down to the i-dont-know-what-you-call-it but it was like we went down a cliff. haha. Afterwards, we had pictorials outside because alpha needed to buy a toothbrush-thanks to the result of her memory loss, she forgot to bring one. lol. Then, when we returned, there was already so many BBQs! Yey!! and so, here are the pictures...

The 5-star BBQ as I may say. I wonder which one's mine. Ü

What's in store?

Before a cliff. :)

The cam's very far.

While we were walking, ria took this pic.

Of course it was a lot of fun. We watched a lot especially HOUSE M.D. Alpha's now addicted! wahahaha!!! Goodluck finding a DVD. :) then, lastly... We slept at 2:30 but Chala slept earlier and she took pics of us while sleeping. waaaahhh!

Time Off Ü

2008-10-25T03:26:00.000-07:00

Lethargic :(
Aside from the enormous amount of seat works that we've had in advanced stat., we had nothing else to do but crave for the nearing semestral break. We also had a lot of stuff to answer in chem although I don't think those would account as seat works. *sigh* I can't think of anything else that happened which I would likely save in my memory. Uhmmm.. Really, apart from the long lasting effects of the 9 technical reports that we had to do each day, and the fact that we desperately needed to study in AP, nothing else was recovered from my oh so poor mind. Translation: I think I gave myself an award of short term memory loss. Well... Hardly counts as an award. Ü

Constant Euphoria
lol. rofl. roflmao. - ehem. some common acronyms slash expressions in the internet which are by far most famous among teenagers. I would have tried to force myself to say those acronyms instead but then again, laughter serves as the "better" medicine at times so why not go with it? Ü All of these so sudden laughters are mainly the cause of my contagious friends. insert esie, pam, dei, ria, ajae, mami, alpha, chala, etcetera. Next time, I might take up some lessons on laughing etiquette(s). haha.

Seven things
I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared

It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me, not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear

The 7 things I hate about you
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and it's silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh I'm not coming back
You're taking 7 steps here

The 7 things I hate about you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hands in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like most that you do
You make me love you
You do

By the year 2020, I will have been...
Talk about prophecy. We have this writing thing in english. It's about what'll probably happen to us and to our classmates when the year 2020 comes. Frankly, I have 76% of some correctness in intuition and I'll really use that in creating the prophecy. weeee. I love doing that stuff. I thereby vow that I would take writing this one seriously.

I need a guitar. pronto.
This is soo bad news for me. [don't worry. my grammar is purposely informal for the previous statement. Ü] My guitar's third string broke. waaaah! I really need one badly. Why you might ask? Because now, I'm subtracting one of my frequently done hobbies which is real bad news since...

HOBBIES-playing guitar= 30% possibilty of boredom! [higher risk, i mean.] It's only been a week and I really miss playing one.

:(

code rest! finally!
what can I say.. First and foremost, it's already our semestral break! YEY!!!! I have a lot of plans but of course, I also have some free days. I hope the overnight in our house will be fun. Ü I'm looking forward to a lot of gimiks.

I guess I should go now...

I have been watching the season 3 of House MD since earlier this morning and I'd like to continue now...

'till next week! Buhbye!

Oh, Btw... I'd like to post 2 lyrics of the 2 songs I listen to most of the time... [these days]

Tonight [FM static]
I remember the times we spent together
On those drives
We had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York
Everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And I used to feel like dreamin'
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait

I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus
And how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad
Sometimes not having you here
I sing

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I sing
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

Usual Metabolism [Laughter] Ü

2008-10-17T04:31:00.001-07:00

Free days! weeee.
I'm happy during a lot of days because there were a lot of free days. You can say that I'm shallow or soooo childish but i love free days. [who doesn't right!?] Hmmm.. What did I do during those free days? Well, I brought my ipod which is unfortunately never on full battery. I listened to songs with Esie, Pam, or squeezy... But most of the time with Esie. Usually, I lie down on the floor and then some 5 minutes will pass and soon I'll be in dreamland! hehe... It's not boring. It's actually nice that we got some rest after a hectic [yet fun] week of sports.

Raining Seatworks
The not-so-good part about the free days was that we had so many seatworks. T_T They weren't that hard... But then, they were quite long. Oh well... Most of the time, I'm finishing the seatworks in school so that I can just rest and surf the net at home. Ü Most of my attempts for finished products were successful. Thankfully...

District Meet [tired. bored. sleepy. calmed.]
All of my moods are present beside my topic. Ü The district meet had nothing to do with me. It's not like I'm participating or anything. I just watched the cheerdance with my friends and then stayed in the room for a long time. Of course, I slept. lol. I had my ipod with me that time too which is my medicine for insomnia. [sometimes, we need a back-up plan when lessons tend to keep us awake.]-i hope you know what I'm talking about.

I also saw my former classmates during Elementary. Waaah. I miss them. I wish we'll have a reunion soon.

Congratulations to Lerina & Alpha! hehe...

How sad.
My friends and I have been planning for an overnight during the sembreak. We were really excited about it and I can't help but talk about it at times. Unfortunately, an unexpected thing happened. Dar can't join because she was chosen to be a contestant in the environmental science category for the science camp. How sad. :( Anyway, I'm not yet sure about the overnight thing. And to think that we were planning the things to be done... *sigh*

here's a list
I'm tired of complaining. YES, that's definitely a good thing right? Ü We have a lot of assignments this week. It's not exactly a lot but I don't know... My mind's in an unpredictable state most of the time. Other than that, the PT was moved to November 6 which would be after the sembreak. From the start, I wanted it to be next week already so the sembreak would be a blast! but... I wanted it, sadly, I didn't wish for it... [Well, it might have made things a little different you know]

overdose of laughter
During Zoology time, our group was done with the cross section of the froggy's organs so I went with Ria to the Lrc to research about the pictures of the cross sections. You might ask why. Uhmm... we didn't draw them right after looking them up in the compound microscope so we have to research them all again. :p
[but of course, we remebered some...]

We were laughing at the pictures when Dei arrived. It was already past Zoology time. While waiting for her, Ria got a magazine. Before we knew it, we were laughing out loud, forcing ourselves to be silent at the same time! We always had silly comments on every picture we saw and we couldn't stop laughing. I think we stopped at about quarter to 5. XD

I'm running out of words already so I guess it's time to stop for a while...

I'm excited for a sembreak. I think I want a violin but my mentor thinks it's not best for me to have one. :p

This had been a shorter entry compared to my other posts.

See ya next week! Ü

Sports and Birthdays Ü

2008-10-10T18:15:00.000-07:00

Intrams '08-'09 [luv it! Ü]

"i wish there's sushi on Sunday. Ü"

Day 1
I don't know why but I'll speak for the future. This year's intrams would be more memorable than the others. For the first day, I was really nervous since I'll be playing badmiton and our first opponents were first years. Just to let you know, it's more pressuring if you compete with lower years rather than with the seniors/higher years. Anyway, it didn't go well during the first game. I'm guessing my negative energy had something to do with that. hehe. :p So I wasn't in the mood for pictorial sessions during the first day and I wasn't able to cover any sport. *sigh*

Day 2
There was a break from the event since some koreans would go to our school. Well, enough about that... I don't speak korean. :)
The second day was more of a blast for me. We won in our game. *whew*
Sadly, the rules were changed and it wasn't round robin anymore. It was already a knock out game. So we ended up in third place which was okay.
After that, I was already in the mood for making memorabilias so while in the quarters, I took out my cellphone and asked my friends for pictures. Yay! Pictorial session once again! I told you I love taking pics. Ü
Actually, there were lots of them but of course, I won't upload them here. This isn't a social networking site for pics anyway. xp I just took pictures during Day 2 and had fun with my friends.

Day 3
Day 3? I really did nothing but watch the games especially basketball girls and sepak girls. Basketball girls because...
1. it was currently the most popular event during that time.
2. My mommy is included there. Ü
Sepak girls because...
1. My friends were included. [as in, my close friends esp. alpha and esie]
2. I like to see the kicks. Ü

Well, that's what I did for the third day.

Day 4 [extension]
Half of this day was used to finish the other games like volleyball and Patintero. I love watching Volleyball girls! [You know what I mean] They were really good!
During the other half of the day, we had a lot of fun. Of course, we still had pictorial sessions.

Aside from that, while the most of our classmates were watching volleyball boys, we decided to make a video. It was so funny! We did the usual trick where we switch voices. When I watch the bloopers, I keep laughing. lol. Ü

I'll post it some other time.

Birthday bash
Last Sunday was my beloved bro's birthday. I was excited because my cousin' were going to go to our house. We really had a lot of fun but most of the time we participated in "House M. D. Addiction"! It's all my brother's fault. I just watched for 2 hours and then after eating lunch, I proceeded in front of the pc. My brother went missing and I was puzzled at first but then later on I was shocked to find him staring at the tv again! wow. and at first he was the one who said that I was so hooked up on that DVD of House. hehe...

We also had picture taking. Yay! You know what the cake was? Bibingka. [Home made] We even placed candles there and shots of wacky poses were taken. Of course, I hope there'll be a follow-up celebration after this since my mom's birthday is near too. Ü

Greetings to the following:
Alpha--> [october 8]= Happy Birthday!!! I'll give you a gift as soon as possibe if my money permits me to. Ü I hope we'll have more laughtrips! salamat sa libre!

Mommy-->[october 10] = I've greeted you so many times already. hehe. anyway, happy birthday once more! and So sorry I wasn't able to go... Don't worry about the gift, I'll have one sooN!!! :)

Esie-->[October 11]=Happy Birthday Esie!!! T_T waaaaah. Why does your birthday have to fall during the weekends? Anyway, I have no idea what to give you as a gift but I hope I'll have one soon too. Ü

Teecee guyx! love you lotz olweiz! muaaaaahh! xoxo

Kick Off

2008-10-10T05:30:00.000-07:00

Day 3:

Unexpectedly, this year's intramurals was set foot to another event-The Sepak girls.Sepak takraw or kick volleyball is a sport native to Southeast Asia, resembling volleyball, except that it uses a rattan ball and only allows players to use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball. It's rare enough for girls to kick the ball in Sepak well since it's really a difficult skill to master. However, it's also not surprising that the players from the 4 teams were able to learn that skill in a short period of time.

Game 3 of Sepak girls introduced the Blue Vaio vs. the Red Macintosh. With the service given to the red team, they were off to a good start. The team consisted of one thrower, a server, and another player as a receiver. During the first set, the game was in favor of the Red Macintosh with the team gaining a score of 21 as a first. The Blue Vaio only needed a few points during that same set to win since they were able to gain 18 points.

During the second set, the Red Macintosh rocketed to the top at only for a short period of time. They gained points mostly because of successful services. The Blue Vaio only had 12 points, a far point range from the red team's score.

The game ended with the Red Macintosh being declared as the winner and of course the usual "hand shake" as every team member moves around half of the court from the end line. Ü

Join The Rhythm

2008-10-10T03:54:00.000-07:00

Day 2:

Basketball girls definitely stood out as one of the main events during this year's intramurals. Aside from the fact that it would just be held starting this year, it also grabs most people's interests.

The first game of basketball girls was between teams A and B, otherwise known as the Green Acers Vs. the Red Macintosh. Basketball girls only consisted of 3 quarters mostly in favor of the Red Macintosh.

The first quarter began with 13 points from the Red team and an unlucky part for the Green team since they were not able to have any successful shots. Most players shoot as near as possible because it was really difficult to shoot at a far distance for them. Of course, high shrieks and yells were always present as every team member gave his support.

During the second quarter, the Green Acers managed to gain 8 points but they were still far behind. By that time, the Red Macintosh had already gained 28 points.

Tension filled the air for the 3rd and final quarter. Unfortunately for the freshmen, they didn't get any points from their previous one and thus the game ended in favor of the juniors with 34-8 as the final score. Ü

Sequential Beats :p

2008-10-10T03:26:00.000-07:00

Day 1:

Just before the intramurals '08-'09, it was announced that a cheer dance competition would also be included as part of the intramurals. Thus, it was a tough week for all the cheer dancers of every team. Thankfully, all of their hard work paid off since in this event as they say, all are winners.

The cheer dance was definitely a great start for the CNSHS intramurals this year. Everyone chosen to participate did their part and managed to make their mark in the said event. Well now, I'll not delay the happenings any further. Ü

The first of the firsts were the freshmen, the Green Acers. Yes, they did great and in fact they did manage to surprise us making our expectations higher. Although, they lacked energy, they still proved that they had the guts to perform and enjoy at the same time.

Second to perform were the juniors, 3rd years, or proudly known as the Red Macintosh. The team members were really very supportive and as a proof of that, the shouting of their cheers and yells barely stopped. It was amazing how they pulled the stunts and made even just the simple steps look complicated and breath taking.

Afterwards, it was the Seniors turn to perform- The Blue Vaio. Expectations were kind of up and they didn't fail to impress us with their dance steps and stunts. The energy was really everywhere. Thus, it was really what we expected from our ate's and kuya's.

Last but not the least was the sophomores otherwise known as the Yellow Asus. Practicing hard contributed well enough to their performance. They focused more on the dance steps but on the other hand, they also did well with regards to the yells and cheers.

Shortly after the performances, the various places were announced as to which team gained the first to the fourth place. The fourth place which was equal to 15 points was given to the Green Acers. The third place goes to the Yellow Asus making their team earn 20 points. There was a pause during the announcement of the second placer and the thrill was really there. Finally, the Blue Vaio was announced as the second placer while for the champions, we have the Red Macintosh! This made both teams gain 25 and 30 points respectively.

A Big hand of applause to all the cheer dancers who participated in the competition for their teams. Great job to all of you! Ü

Hair Treatment side effects
I can't concentrate in school because of my hair. Well, actually it's because I avoided it from getting wet for 3 days! hehe. Up to now, I'm still surprised that I have that much patience inside of me. It's getting a little curly again but I'll have the treatment [once more] next week. It'll be a habit after that. lol. It's like I'm having chemo. :p [*knocks on wood*]

Kasaysayan ng Daigdig by Zaide
grrrr nmn. It was a lot of frustrations for me. Why? Because this wednesday, we had no classes. No, it's not because there were no classes that I'm frustrated. It's because I had to go back and forth to two malls because of a book that we didn't use the next day anyway. what the hell. It goes like this. I first went to SM Bacoor to look if it was available there. They only have the english version. The annoying part is they have every book by Zaide except the one that I badly need. arrrgh. I stayed in SM for 3 hours.

I realized that I didn't know how to go to dasma. I spent an hour trying to figure that out. :p Finally, I called my uncle and he agreed to accompany me in going there. I got dizzy on the way of course. Aside from the fact that the fare was expensive, it took an hour to go to dasma from Bacoor. So... I was there and I manage to buy the book. There was only one left! Weeee! [am I lucky or what?]
Later on, I found out that my cousin has the damn book. It just sunk into me that it was all a waste of time and energy to go back and forth to two malls. Arrrgh. I don't want to repeat.

After that, I can't believe my luck. I went back to Bacoor and bought some headbands and Paulo coelho's novel. [By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept]
I run after the bus which was almost leaving. I was tired on my way home and some horror movie was being showed on screen. It was more brutal than saw and a bit antique I think. Later, my mommy [Ten10] informed me that it was "Nightmare on Elm Street" a film showed in 1984! Ü

0 Practice + 100% worries=?
Waaah! We had absolutely no practice for the intrams last Thursday. They didn't allow us. :( How very sad!

Trip.. trip..
This Friday, we had no classes. I went with Viell, Alpha, Esie, Chala, and Karen to Karen's house. We had fun there. I can't say any more details. We just played, ate, and talk. Of course, it would never be complete without Alpha's insane jokes that just never fail to make me laugh. Unfortunately for me, I was dropped? at a very far distance from my house.[jeepney ride] and who's fault is that!? Not mine. You know who you are. peace! Ü

Badminton again & again
I've played badminton since I was I dunno... Anyway, I played it again this year. And I mean played it EVERY SINGLE DAY. haha. [only starting this week. Don't get shocked or anything. Ü] Last Friday, I played from about 5-7 pm. Wrong time. Saturday, I woke up at 6 am to play badminton in a somewhat suitable court near my cousin's house. I played with my cousin's from 6-9 am. Tired? Well, I can feel my arm starting to go numb which is a good thing because I no longer feel pain there. After that, This Sunday, I played with my other cousin from 6-8 am who taught me about the doubles thing. hehe.. It was great. I love backhand now! Ü

I wish...
I've been receiving numerous pms, comments, and texts regarding cheers for the intrams. I guess I'll ride with you guys and say it too...

GO RED MACINTOSH!!!! Goodluck to everyone!

ps. I'm reading a new book now. It's "My Sister's Keeper" which is one of the bests I've read so far. I'm halfway done with it. See ya next week! Ü

Busybee

Well, most of us were somewhat busy this week. Why? I don't know as well! Hehe. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the intrams is just two weeks away! yey! Unfortunately for me, I don't have a game to play yet. I can't depend on badminton since there were lots who wanted to join there. T_T Other than that, there are no candidate games for me. So sad. I just want to take pictures and galaers like I normally do during intrams. However, this time, we desperately need players for the games. :(

Math Craze
Whew! Most of our periods in math dealt with exercises about transformation of equations. haaaay. It makes my head ache. Not because it's hard but because I'm sort of tired of it all. Besides, I'm a bit slow when it comes to that although I must say I'm improving. haha. I guess I'm back to my hyper self again. Yes! It's because I'm happy while typing this. Can you say ecstatic much!? Ü

Baguio-will I go or not?
See, there's this workshop thing which the teachers are encouraging us to join. I'm only considering two things.
1. I'm a bit skeptic about the money. I mean, what else can I get from that aside from Baguio?
2. What I'll be doing there... Anyway, most of those who joined the Yes Camp before said that it was fun so... idk. waaaaah.

I have time to decide again later. Ü

3 days for newspaper cut-outs? wow!
We just couldn't get enough of the newspapers. Actually, I think it was because we didn't want to have classes. Bored? Most probably. I think that was the time I got more interested in reading featured articles---only literary ones.

Guess what?
There was this time during free period [not exactly free. Maybe it was AP time.] when Dei and Ria started a game of acting the songs in the ipod and letting us guess them. It was superb because they were so hilarious! Well all of us know them, their tandem is really one of a kind! Ü -lol. I can't stop laughing that time because at first, we couldn't guess the songs and then later on...we can't help but say... ahh. un pla un..kaya pala may ganon at ganon.. followed by high pitched laughters.

Here...Froggy, froggy.
Finally! It was time for our group to dissect our beloved frog in zoology. I was so enthusiastic about that because I really want to become a doctor. lolz. Anyway, our froggy was so strong! Man! I held it first when Ma'am Digma asked me too and it kept on struggling even after it had its heart popped out! Owkay... weird much? and disgusting for others... If you're eating I encourage you not to read this. Oops. sorry, I think that was a late warning. Ü

Happy Birthday Ajae!
This Friday was Ajae's birthday so she treated the class with pizza and softdrinks. Yey! They also had picture taking but I wasn't up for that since I was worried about the dissection that time. [about the materials, gloves, blablabla]
When it was about 5 pm, while waiting for the flag retreat, I told dar that I might not have my regular hair on monday so we had our remembrance taken. Picture!! hehe.

8 hours of sitting
I had my hair rebonded last Saturday. You think that was fun? Oh no. It was more of teaching you the virtue of patience. There were different kinds of waiting for the medicine to stick. There's the 15 minute wait, the 30 minute wait, and more importantly the one-hour wait! I didn't move for that one-hour. I was practically like a statue. T_T The ironing hurts, the medicine hurts, and awww. no more. hehe. But anyway, I like the result. Ü

Ps.
Unfortunately, my eye hurts and I think I'm gonna have that disease thing again! waaaah!

Take care and BB! Ü

In Ways He'll Never Know Ü

2008-09-22T02:21:00.000-07:00

Think about one person whom you most admire and who has influenced you in an important way. What are the qualities of this person? Explain how he or she helped you make a significant change in your life.

When I'm asked with a question like this, I don't have doubts regarding my answer. It has always been my dad. He's the most convincing person in my life so far. He had helped me get through tough times especially when I feel inferior to others. He made me believe that there is power in the saying "I can".

From then on, there was that change in my life. I already believed in my abilities and thus, I believed in myself and my ability to succeed. Nothing is impossible if one has the courage and faith to believe. My dad, the most hardworking, convincing, and selfless person I know, as a matter of fact, inspired me in ways he'll never know. Ü

.Drastic.

I've decided that for this one, I'll type dramatically. Is there such an action? Well... I have no idea but it's decided so might as well go with it. This week had changed my perspectives about people a lot. Hmm.. Maybe I should take up Psychology in college. Sadly, my parents and I think differently. Ü Let's see. We checked our PTs this week and the results don't exactly call for a celebration.

I'm faced with a lot of number 7s on my test papers. Though I like the number 7 a lot, It is entirely different when it comes to grades. Oh well... No depression for that matter. :D What else did we do this week? Oh yeah. Moving away from the topic, we had to days where we just slacked off because those were half days.

First was the common half day before the second part of PT 2.1. Elai went to our house as usual and let's say some mishaps happened in yahoo messenger. haha. The next half day was the day after that because of the GSIS business thingy. Esie went to our house too. The 3 of us [Esie, Elai, & me] watched House M.D. waaah. Speaking of which, it's a really great TV series! hehe. I have the DVD which my cousins recommended me to watch. Now... I got hooked to it! Ü I think it's partly a good thing. Everyday, I had to watch at least one episode to satisfy my cravings. lol.

I'm lost for words...

I guess after those free days, we just checked our testpapers. You might be wondering where's the dramatic part in this entry. uhmm. I don't know either. I guess I'm just dramatic while typing this. I just can't process my own ideas. I hate Fridays especially this one. I don't have much of a positive disposition today so pardon me.Ü Besides, I don't have any other free days of typing my blog so this is it.

It's hard to believe that I managed to type this one in paragraphs... what a change. hehe. Ü

People will love you
for the hundreds of good things
you've done for them
but will hate you
for a single mistake...

That explains my mood... :D

Bottled Love
Weeee! I love our bottle in arts! hehe.. Of course, we put a lot of effort in making that and thankfully, it ended up cute. I'm so proud. lol. It's because I'm not that creative when it comes to those things. Most of the time, I mess up. So it's a good thing this one's not like most times... Ü

Checkmate?
Our classmates played chess during PE time. I had no intention of joining but they said that we need to join because of the grade. waaaah. I last played chess during... uhmmm? Grade 6..? anyway, that was a long time ago too! Because I had no choice, I just played. Ours was just a game. [as in, we didn't take it seriously...] lol. ever heard about a game with free coaching?! :]

Talk about the perfect tense
What the heck is up with English and the "Perfect tense"? It was just an easy topic but now, I got all confused with the -ing and -past participle usage blabla...
Well, whatever. Our dialogues were great! I was laughing most of the time. You know me... Ü

wanted: 6 more problems
Why do we need a lot of problems anyway? uhmm, I'm talking about the 8 research proposals that sir wanted us to have. I already proposed two times and thankfully, one was approved. Yey! Wait, I can't celebrate yet.. I need 6 more! Hellllllllllllllppppppp... T_T

Chromosomes again & again & again
I already survived Biology. Now, zoology is as hectic as ever. We have to make the 8 phases that make up meiosis, that is from prophase I to telophase II. Easy? No way! Unfortunately, our group was assigned to make the 24 chromosomes. wow. I think we'll still be able to finish it until thursday so it's okay...[but then, we have quizzes on monday. how sad.]

Over *pinkish* is of no good
I love titration! hehe. We did that in Chemistry. I like the color of rose pink that time when NaOH was added to the solution of vinegar, water, and phenolphthalein. whoa, I'm talking about science now. enough, enough...Anyway, there were times when too much NaOH was added so it became overtitrated a nd all. I still like the color, somewhat like red violet. I'm thinking about doing that at home.. Then I'll make it serve as a design in our house. Who am I kidding?! :)

...to be continued

note: I can't remember any more happenings. I still need to wait for Saturday and Sunday to pass. Sadly, I can't use the pc during weekends. [inverted much?]

Our PT 2.1 would be this week too so better be ready! Goodluck to us... I hope there'll be no more bloody testpapers. BB. Ü

oh, before I forget. 24 colors has 5 chappies so please read it in mangafox. waaaah! I don't know where to read the last 2 chaps, anyone who knows its whereabouts, pls. inform me... tenchu! :]

[Yuki's week] Ü

2008-09-06T00:48:00.000-07:00

All because of d' normality
I really can't remember anything that happened for the first 2 days of the week.[excluding Sunday] I guess we just had our usual classes during those times. But I don't spend my time normally. I'm always doing not-so-ordinary things.Like what, you may ask? uhmm..? .Brain Freeze.
.
.
.
.
.

They're normal after all. I can't think anymore. My keyboard has its own mind yet again so pardon me if I'm saying senseless stuffs.

Hi. I'm Yuki
Ehem. I would like to introduce myself. wth? hehe. Anyway, My name now is Yuki. I'm not yet baptized though I already have my mommy. lolz. I'm still in my right mind you know. So as not to confuse you, I was just reborn in this world. aww. It's still confusing. waaaaah. shuckz. My mommy [Tenten] just proclaimed me as her new daughter. [there, It seems less difficult to understand. :)] .End of the story. Though we're not yet living happily ever after because my daddy... oops. My mommy warned me not to blabber about him. I have my older sister squeezy [ajae] too. Ü

Motion pictures presents...
We watched two movies for this week. First was October Sky which would be our movie review for English. It was an inspirational movie so it was good for me. Still, It didn't managed to make me cry so it wouldn't fall in the i-won't-forget this movie category.

hmm. Second was Dekada '70. Yep, it's for our movie review in Filipino. hehe. It's also inspirational but I didn't like it that much. why? because there were bloody encounters. T_T I wonder why I can take bloody scenes in foreign movies rather than those in Local movies? Well, maybe it's because my mind's programmed to believe that those in foreign movies are all full of special effects.

Awards & Punishments
I don't want to have inferiority complex again. It has something to do with answering in oral recitations or whatever. So to prevent that, we're having a contest. [me and my two friends] hehe. There's a punishment of course for those gathering the least number of correct responses in recitations. It's the only way I could think of to force myself to answer most of the time. Don't worry. It won't do much pressure. I hope... Ü

Birthday Bash

Weeee. It's Kisses's Birthday! [Wednesday] I'm happy that there were a lot of greetings for her. But our celebration of her birthday was the day after. During the afternoon, we found out that we would just have a seatwork for english. So we [Darleen, moi, Esie, and Kisses] bought our food in 7-11 and ate it in the classroom. Prior to that, I have to say that I felt like we walked so many miles because of hunger. hehe. That statement is applicable to Esie and me. We shared in the Beef lasagna but we have 2 other different foods. [Sandwhiches] charap!

Crush. Crush. Crush.
Don't mistake the title for something else okay? Ü During zoology time, we had our first oral recitation which was very difficult. I picked an easy question. I might be naturally lucky during those cases. Btw, the crush.crush.crush is about a paper game squeezy and I played when we were done answering in the recitation. I dunno if you've heard of it but it's with the listing of numbers to find out the answer to a question. Sample:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. there. It's where you'll group the letters. It's kind of a long process if I'll still describe it here. ^^

I got addicted to that! haha. It was so funny to find out the answers to crazy questions like "Who was your first, first, first crush?" and then to look straight into the eyes of a startled person. [the one I asked] :)

7-11 trip
During a Saturday afternoon, I was complaining because there was nothing to eat in the house. Complaining which eventually resulted to buying all the stuff we can eat in 7-11. n_n I love dalandan & calamansi soda! :)

.That's about it.

Street dance + Arts
All of us were excited for the street dance that Sunday. Also, our group in arts decided to meet at the plaza after the said competition. I didn't know that I'll be forced to join the parade thingy. Oh well... It was tiring but fun in a way.

After that, Dar and I went to my house to do the arts project. Ajae and Jenna watched the street dance. They didn't follow though because we said it was just okay. Uhmm.. I guess working with a partner is somewhat better than working with a group. We finished the project not-so-late and we had a lot of fun & laughtrips. I just hope the bottle would still turn out cute in the end... [it is super cute as of now.] Ü

See ya next week! BB.

[Back from d' beginning] Ü

2008-08-29T16:37:00.000-07:00

What can I say, this week was full of sighs. "haaaaaay." Now there's one for you. :)
It's all because of the delays.But of course there were also good news.

Symmetry and Homework: We had an exercise about symmetry. And I have no idea how to distinguish the line from the point. I feel so innocent when it comes to math. lol. It's not actually math, rather it's always about hating spatial whatsoevers.

Please disturb: weeee. we didn't have classes again last Wednesday because of the NCAE! It's also a good thing that we didn't have much assignments that time. Elai went to our house as usual. haha. We always have laughtrips when the "no-classes" incidents come. We also did the usual stuff. eat-play the piano-net-net-net-eat-sing-movie...[repeat till fade] hehe. I'm happy that at least we had another day of rest this week. lol. One day of rest is not enough for me.

uhmm.. The "please disturb" title is because we had many disturbances this week that led to some time periods without us having classes. Specifically, the intramurals. It was planned to be next week so we were rushing and having meetings about that. Of course, the excitement was there.

Unfortunately, after a useless hour of meeting, the intrams was changed to no-one-knows-the-date and other pending decisions. If ever it would be held, it would be by year level. waaah! My classmates were so over frustrated. +_+

Insomnia: Ever heard of insomnia? Well, now we knew the cure! During our adv. statistics time, sir might have noticed that our mind was flying away already or so I think. Also, one of our classmates is having brainache. [a famous term of ours. :)] Well what do we expect, sir cracked a joke. Expect the unexpected. it wasn't corny! ehem. "Do you know that if you're in my class, you'll be healed of illnesses. A student said to me that...Sir,before I have insomnia but when I'm in your class, I get healed immediately." rofl!

ps. Insomnia is a symptom of a sleeping disorder characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Insomniacs have been known to complain about being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Ü

Brainache: I wished I had headache the time that we took the quizzes in zoology. They look more like boardexams. Well, they [uhm, classmates] said don't study anymore so no more! hehe. There might be a miracle reserved for us. We paid 3 pesos for the sheets and when we received the papers, the common reaction took place. [eyes wide, mouths wide open, puppy eyes. XD] There was no room for miracles! waaaah! The out-of-this-world questions were all there again. *tooters*-goodbye score!

L-U-C-K-Y: I was in a panic already when I went home last friday afternoon because I wasn't done with so many other things.weh. Bad luck always strikes when I'm in a panic. Whenever I'm going home, I eat lunch with Elai. [in our house of course and yah, we're like sisters already.] I finished the filipino but when I went to school I realized that I got it all wrong. I mean, I wrote it in front when it was supposed to be in the middle part. SO rush again. I repeated the entire thing minutes before we had the movie review. We were in the trc that time already.

Before that, the activity sheet in english wasn't with me too! It was nowhere to be found... T_T I just wrote my answers in my notebook. It's a good thing ma'am wasn't watching us that time. :)

As for the good luck part... I'll talk about that later.

I don't wanna miss a thing: I can't forget Aaron and alpha's voices when they sing the line in that song. "I could stay awake just to hear you breathiiinnggg! [sustained + high + loud!] haha. Before the ptc, we sang songs with the accompaniment of justin's guitar. hehe. That is a way to remove nervousness.^^

Stand up for...? It was the grand finals of the Tagisan ng Talino sa Filipino so Ajae and I guarded the contestants. Well, you know about that. We stood for an hour and more. Too much of an exercise. Well, I shoudn't complain about that because during dismissal we walked from polar to claros. :)

*speechless*: The ptc was a good news for me. It was really surprising. When I joined our platoon in the flag retreat Viell, Karen, and the others congratulated me. duh.. I had no idea why because we were from the lrc. Well, guess what. I'm included in the top 10 again. Ü

Good news: Just what I said. At least some of my efforts paid off.
Bad news: Back from beginning, expectations & pressure. But my mom & my relatives don't give me any so it's fine.

And now, I believed more in miracles... also in my intuitions.., Most of the time, they go the right way. Ü

We have a lot of assignments this week. In my case they're about 9.
don't ask. here you go...

1. Chemistry [lab ntbk.]
2. Math [graph thingy]
3. Physics
4. English [activity]
5. Filipino [typing the letter & the suring pelikula]
6. AP [lecture?]
7. Blog. well here it is. :)
8. HEALTH [interior design]
9. LSB

hehe. I just wanted to include that. so Buhbye for now. This one has been a longer entry.
Ja' ne! -BB.

Perplexed? Is that right..?

Murdered: most of them.. I have no intention of crying out loud but give me 6 letters to proclaim it. “Waaaah!” No need to count, it’s really 6. PT 2.1 is so gruesome for me! Lol. I became a bit depressed because the numbers were all extremes even though as some say, they’re just numbers. Fact is, I hate numbers. It’s a good thing my mom just laughs at my grades when I have complaints. She doesn’t even ask me to explain at all. It’s always “oh well, there’s always next time.” I think I’m fairly lucky for that.

Regional..?[so sorry, I forgot what the tests there were all about.] Before the supposed test, some names, including mine, were not included in those who will take the test. Thus, I have half-half doubts on how to look at it. When I already thought that it was okay and I was somehow “lucky” that I woudn’t be taking the test, They suddenly said that it was reverted to 30, hence, I was included! OH MAN.. just when I was becoming used to the news already… Well, that’s life. The tests were okay.

Art rush:We had arts in chemistry. Hehe.. We just drew anything related to chem. And according to ma’am it was better if we used bright colors. I have fear of pastels since I was a kid. Haha.. It’s stupid but it’s all because I ruined my artwork [as in really ruined it] the first time I used one in the poster making contest. The one I made for chem was just kk. ^^

Room trips!:I arrived at school a bit early last Friday. Justin, Maikka, Alpha, and Kat [Did I forget someone?] were with me after a short while. I don’t know if we were bored or something but Alpha had the urge to play a prank on our classmates. So there you have it, we were hiding inside the room. Some beside the cabinet for the cleaning materials [beside the CR too. XD] and the others, including yours truly, in front of the lockers near the windows. We didn’t fool Karen so we included her in the prank. After that, many arrived including Sheila and Pam. Still, we continued with the prank. It almost, I repeat ALMOST work if it wasn’t only for the fact that we were so darn noisy before hiding and they were already like sardines in the CR. Lol. xp

Back to Filinvest: Well, my mom calls festival mall by filinvest; don't argue anymore. hehe. I think I last went there when I was in grade 2! talk about long! and then, I was back again just for the simple reason that "A very special love" was only left showing in Festival mall. Yep, it was the 4th week already so I expected that. Thank goodness my mom still had the enthusiasm to go there even if we faced many challenges-lol. TRAFFIC. T_T Still, we were able to get through that! I really had no regrets of using some of my precious time to watch the movie because it was awesome! My brother and I had laugh trips and of course goosebumps. [ehem, with regards to the romance in the movie I guess..] Anyway, my mom has this "saving" program again so we just passed by jobee & ordered in drive-thru.

On and off: The electricity was on and off again last Monday. It didn't bother me at first because my brother was the one suffering from not using the computer. *insert evil laugh* XD Sooner or later, I knew that the degree of hotness or coldness in the atmosphere, hence TEMPERATURE, would affect me. It had to be sooner. I can barely stay alive inside the house. I finished two novels that day due to too much boredom. Also, I learned new songs in the guitar and finally, I was able to follow and sing the songs of MC that I downloaded. [the one in her album E=MC^2] Ü

End of it all: I slept at 12:30 am since I still told my mom and EXPLAINED to her the ending of For one more day because she had no time to finish it. *sigh* Still, she was very much impressed because of the story's twists...

I will now start reading another novel... joke! I'll be crazy if I did again. I'm back to movie marathons once more. n_n so, buhbye for now!

2008-08-14T19:39:00.000-07:00

I'm about to start reading Paulo Coelho's "The Witch of Portobello". I can't deny the fact that I somehow feel nostalgic everytime I start reading a new novel of his. :)

Quotes.. quotes.. quotes.. [at least I hope I'll remember]

The alchemist
-When you know that language, it's easy to believe that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city… without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

-There was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy had used throughout the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.

-There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

-Wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

-The world's greatest lie: At a certain point in our lives we lose control of what's happening to us and our lives become controlled by fate.

The Witch of Portobello
-All we have to do is understand that we’re all here for a reason and to commit ourselves to that. Then we can laugh at our sufferings, large and small, and walk fearlessly, aware that each step has meaning. We can let ourselves be guided by the light emanating from the Vertex.

-I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.

-What is a teacher?… It isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.

-If all the words were joined together, they wouldn't make sense, or, at the very least, they'd be extremely hard to decipher. The spaces are crucial.

-Faith is not Desire. Faith is Will. Desires are things that need to be satisfied, whereas Will is a force. Will changes the space around us.

The Pilgrimage
-In The Good Fight,

attacking or fleeing are part of the struggle;
being paralyzed by fear is not.
The Good Fight is the one we undertake
because our heart wants us to.

-By changing the way you do routine things
you allow a new person to grow inside of you.

-It is the road that teaches us the best way to get there, and the road enriches us as we walk its length.

The Valkyries

-That is what infatuation is: the creation of an image of someone, without advising that someone as to what the image is… But it was different from love. Love was worth everything, and couldn’t be exchanged for anything.

-God is in the words, and the devil as well.

-Angels are love in motion. They never rest, they struggle to grow, and they are beyond good and evil. Love that consumes all, that destroys all, that forgives all. Angels are made of that love, and are at the same time its messengers.

-And each man kills the thing he loves,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.

Veronika Decides to Die

-We all live in our own world. But if you look up at the starry sky, you will see that all the different worlds up there combine to form constellations, solar systems, galaxies.
-In search for your destiny, you will often find yourself obliged to change direction.

The Fifth Mountain

-Seize every opportunity that life offers you because,
when opportunities go,
they take a long time to come back.

The Brida

-It is necessary to run risks, follow certain paths and abandon others.
No one can make a choice without feeling fear.

-The noblest thing a human being can experience
is acceptance of the mystery.
-Sometimes certain blessings from God come crashing in through the windows

Eleven Minutes

-At every moment of our lives we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss.

-How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanquish so quickly?

-Sometimes you get no second chance and that it’s best to accept the gifts the world offers you.

-If I must be faithful, I have first of all, to be faithful to myself.

By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

-You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

-Everyday, God gives us the sun - and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything...

The Devil and Miss Prym

-People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same.

-She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar."

The Zahir

-freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.

-All you have to do is to pay attention: lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step.

-Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.

-A fatally wounded soldier never asks the medical team: “Please save me!” His last words are usually: “Tell my wife and son that I love them.” At the last moment, they speak of love.

2008-08-14T05:10:00.000-07:00

3 days for this week were as hectic as ever! It’s a good thing I can now breathe a sign of relief while typing this. I can’t tell whether the week was good or what but for sure, it wasn’t normal. I didn’t mind the adrenaline rushes before but now… They bug me a lot.

1 exam + reviews: The test in MAPEH was just fine. [Except for the last parts of PE] We didn’t do much today. We only had reviews, reviews, and some tests. It wasn’t boring because I was usually talking the whole time, esp. in zoology. ^^

Clinic mishaps: Just before the class in research I, I wanted to go home badly. I had fever rush again. Hey, don’t get me wrong, it’s not because I wanted to escape my classes. If I wanted that badly, I would’ve done that a long time ago. I really wasn't feeling well so Kisses told me that the most logical thing to do was stay in the clinic until I feel normal again. So there, I agreed. Ü

Ma’am Tin [our school nurse-is the name correct?] was very knowledgeable about the fever thing. She was so funny too. She kept on saying that I didn’t attend classes just because I had a clogged nose. Lol! But she wrote that the cause was dizziness. Whoa, she asked me to smell the ammonia then the one for easier breathing with the steam and all that. Then, she often laughs like when she says that I might consume all of the tissues there so why can’t I just use my scarf? XD

Kuya Eddie and Ate Pia were also very funny. They were practically like cats and dogs! For an instance when Ate Pia was waxing, she kept on talking and asking kuya Eddie to help her. Kuya Eddie on the other hand was walking back and forth inside the office. So ate Pia said things like he should stop walking inside and out with his shoes on. Know what kuya eddie said? “*insert censored*eh kung nilalabas mo kaya yung telepono!” If you were in my place, you’d laugh because of his voice. It was always on full volume! My goodness…

PT overviews: The first Pts [Math, English, Adv.Stat] were okay. But hey, the Pts for the second day were such a pain. Now I really expect to see bloody test papers. AP was very long and sooo difficult at the same time! I thought that there wouldn’t be anymore essays for the second day. Heck, they were all essays! Well, it can’t be helped. I just have to accept that fact.

Research again: We spent the last 2 hours in researching about our topic in research. Sorry about the major redundancy… I can’t think of any more relevant words. My brain’s on the verge of falling asleep again.

Back2back with Piano & Manga: There were no classes this Thursday because of the coming fiesta. I was bored so it’s a good thing Elai and Esie went to our house. I had to balance myself between reading manga with Esie and teaching Elai on the piano. I did it anyway. Now, I love playing the piano even more. I just realized that I missed it a lot. Ü With regards to the manga, waaaaah! Natsume is as cute as ever! And of course, Esie and I were screaming our lungs out whenever there were “kilig” moments. Lol. Childish? XD I’ll call her sie-chan from now on. Haha! Call me nie-chan! xp

to be continued..I'll read manga for now.. :)

2008-08-13T17:06:00.000-07:00

loads of pics! [not loads actually, but.. let it be..Ü]

Click the pics to enlarge.

waaah! I love the stuffies!

.start here.Ü

I didn't take pics of the assembly in the school campus because the happenings there were the usuals. You know.. the excitement and the "bt d p tau naalis?" statement and others. :)

waaah. I want to swim. XD
Ocean Adventure
Here, we've arrived in Ocean Adventure Subic B ay. Actually, I already went here and the memory is still fresh. But of course, this time it's different since my companions are also different. XD I am someone who loves weighing the fun so when the fieldtrip was announced, okie.. GO! Ü Anyway, The sequence of events after arriving in Subic are as follows...

We had the tour of course.. so our first stop would be in..oh yah, the wildlife thing. There were only few animals there and I think the only purpose of that is to buy time for the shows because those require lots of preparation. I didn't take pictures of those, I was bored.. ^^ So I'll just proceed to the aquarium thing..

fishy..fishy.. fishy..

I like this fish.. It's kind of cute. XD

And the last 1 for the aquarium

hmm.. It was a bit hard to take pictures of the fish since they were well, moving! hehe.. ok, next stop.. the much awaited sea lion show! haha..

The sealions were so cute!I took more videos that pics here. I really couldn't help it. Their tricks and stunts were so amazing. I only got amazed now since when I went there before I coudn't understand what was happening around me. Feel the difference? Ü

btw, the sealions' names were madison and simba..

I don't know if I'm describing the correct order in this one. Right after the sea lion show, Did we take our lunch first or went to the souvenir shop? *can't remember anymore* Well, let's assume we had the lunch first. :)

Lunchbreak first

Souvenir shop

After going to the souvenir shop, we went to the learning center [I think] to listen to our tour guide's "words" about the animals present there.

We also went to see the training of a sea lion who according to the trainer was only 8 years old. ^^ [Coby]

Right after that, we had the dolphin show.. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take pictures of the dolphins.. waaaah! But it was as great as the sea lion show! The dolphins were also awesome as ever..
ps. if you have pics of those, let me know. Ü
shoes for sale n_n
-waiting 4 d' dolphin show-

The dolphins were great! See the pics? At first we were sitting very near but then it suddenly rained! Talk about unexpected, and that resulted to us being so drenched and all... :(
Journey to the Safari?a got a nice view of it just
when my phone bat. became empty.

The tigers were all over the place!
what are they up to anyway?

And Yes.. They were very friendly.XD

I've noticed that the word zoobic or zoo + any other word related to Subic were also all over the place.. for ex. zoovenirs..? like that.. The safari was okay too. Though I must say, the smell is sooo OVERWHELMING. haha.

We went to more stops related to the safari after those in the pictures. Then, our last stop would always be a souvenir shop of some sort so here's what we did... ^^

souvenir shop #idk.

after that.. the battery of my cp went bye bye.. :(

Haaay. That's about everything about the places we went to. Our last stop was in duty free. That was my hatest part too. There were no fast food chains! There were actually and the other one was our last resort. We ate there and the we waited for more than 40 mins for the food! [And I'm not kidding..] Oh well, at least we ate.. Right after that, we run in the rain and got drenched all over again. Oh boy, what an experience! When we [Oh I forgot to mention. I was with Alpha and Esie the whole time.. hehe.. Ü] got back to the bus, they were watching Saw IV.

weee. I like horror movies. ^^ Well, it wasn't that brutal. I was sure that I'll have the fever because my voice was already changing that time and I was right. I did have it, 2 days later... :) But well, the experience and all was worth it. It was very much different than when I went there during third grade.

I discovered a lot...

#_# Our fave hangout that time was the CR. lol. I don't know how many Crs did we enter. XD
#_# Always, always, always bring an umbrella.
#_# and lastly, the usual words.. "Expect the unexpected."

I-LOVE-THIS-TRIP! :)

So-called-sequel :)

2008-08-13T03:36:00.000-07:00

This week is so full of excitement! And boy, Am I getting redundant or what? Ü

Classes were still, well… classes. I can’t talk much about those. So, off to the details!

Lost and I'm not sure about the found part: So basically, my pocket money for the field trip as well as my allowance was nowhere to be found. I was so in a panic that time that my focus from other things were diverting to the disappearing money. It’s a good thing that my mom went home before the fieldtrip and gave me a replacement for that. We just assumed that the money she gave was the one that I had lost! Okie, problem as good as solved!

FD the sequel:Yes, ^^ we had the shortened period of classes last Friday. Because of our project in PE, my groupmates went to our house to talk about the materials. *Just about the materials* Pam and Elai were the ones to arrive with me first. We finished FD 2 and after that, we just went straight in front of the pc. Then suddenly, after long… and I mean LONG hours of waiting, Dar and ajae arrived.

I was laughing already before that because Ajae was texting me, saying that she was already rotten from waiting! XD

Well, we still finished FD 3 with the pillows beside us. [always ready for covering our faces] As Pam and Elai went home, I went with Dar and Ajae to the hardware and to OTHER shops to buy the materials for PE and the snacks for the fieldtrip. As fortunate as I am, I didn’t buy any snacks. None of them suited my taste. Lolz.

P.S. I still went to velamart to buy the supposed snacks

Back to GA manga:

I LOVE NATSUME! XD no kidding, he is so everything. Gosh, I don’t want anymore elaboration. I kept on going back to chapters 48 onwards because those are the memorable or should I say, unforgettable moments of all. And the illustrations… Come on! The point is, I’m getting more and more addicted. It’s sort of my medicine for stress. The sad part is, I just might get overdosed. *hope not*

Note: Details about the fieldtrip will be discussed further in the next entry. [if I get industrious that is…]

GNIMMARC:

yah.. just read it backwards. This Sunday, I focused on studying the MAPEH because our PT would be tomorrow. I’m not yet done with a lot of things. Waaaaaah! Then we still have the play, and the projects, the other tests… and oh nevermind. BB for now! Ü
