Productivity
I'm just gonna make this short because I really, really want to sleep. Hahaha.
So I'm done with my Bio lab report. That's good, at least I could work on Physics tomorrow. My day today was, okay. I almost got late a while ago since we left the village at around 6:20 and got to school at 7:05. After that, the day went on the way it's supposed to be. Ohyeah, I'm officially a DL (director's lister, to those who are non-Pisay that are reading this)! Because of that, my dad agreed to buy me earphones (..again). Also, I got to reserve my copy of Breaking Dawn in NBS already. Clara shared to me a while ago that in Gensan, no one touched the Breaking Dawn books. Seriously..? While here in Davao they're having a race in who reserves first? Darn. Hahaha.
I was pretty productive this evening. I finally finished a rough copy of the prologue of my story as well as Chapter 1. I'm considering on posting it online like in FictionPress or something so that I could get some good constructive criticisms. I heard that people there are good in criticizing literary works. I'd also like absolute strangers to critic my work so that there's no bias.
That's all for now. I better get back to Jacob Black now. I mean, I better get back to reading Eclipse. XD

Kettle Corn
Today was pretty, blah. I think I didn't get much sleep since I slept at around 10pm and woke up at around 7am. I thought we were going to hear mass at 8 but instead, we ended up hearing mass at 11. After mass, we ate at Villa Margarita for lunch then headed straight for NCCC to watch Zohan. We were supposed to go to SM since I was planning to buy earphones (FINALLY!), reserve my copy of Breaking Dawn, buy pingpong balls for PE and to watch Zohan as well. Anyway, I prefer watching movies at NCCC sometimes since the seats in the movie houses are really comfy compared to the ones in SM. Also, they don't have premiere or deluxe seatings which is more practical, in my opinion. I still remember those days back in Manila when we'd opt to watch movies in cinemas with reserved seating. Gaaah I missed the reserved seatings. You don't need to make your life hard by finding a good seat. And the best part? When you buy food, they serve it to you inside the cinema. All you have to do it give your seat number. As far as I know, they do that in Podium.
Zohan was fun actually. In my opinion, it's quality borders between nothing special to crack (in a good way, of course). It was weird that they included the feud between the Israelis and the Palestinians in the movie, which was unexpected for me. I also wondered why the hell would Rob Schneider hate Adam Sandler in the movie mainly because Adam stole Rob's goat? That was awkward. Anyway, the movie really exaggerated the mannerisms of Middle Eastern people like the disco disco thing and going as far as Zohan using hummus as toothpaste. What I didn't like about the movie was that it showcased a lot of idiomatic inneundo. I mean, there are a lot of movies with idiomatic innuendo (like Meet The Fockers) but in this movie, old ladies and Zohan hit on each other prior to Zohan's marriage to Dalia. Imagine, super old ladies getting sticky with, Zohan. Totally unexpected, again. But regardless of the old ladies and the innuendo in the movie, the movie was a good laugh, especially as long as Fatoush (aka. Phantom) was around with his Muchentuchen. Whatever that is.. Lol.
After the movie, we went to the newsstand near the grocery to buy newspapers and I saw Ma'am Mendoza with her baby, Sam. SAM WAS SO FREAKING CUTE THAT I JUST KEPT ON POKING HIS CHEEKS. Haha. After that, we headed home and I had Nesvita and a sandwich for dinner.
Good news! I already wrote a possible prologue for my story. I also have thoughts on how to start the story and everything. I just need to organize my thoughts more. Maybe I'll write it all down tomorrow when I'm bored in school or something.

I read this article on rollingstone.com by Erica Futterman entitled 'Dawn of the Undead', which
was about the Twilight Phenomenon in America, specifically the Breaking Dawn concert series. I'll just quote the first paragraph which cracked me up real bad.

"It's a humid August afternoon outside the Nokia Theater in the middle of New York's Times Square, and a hundred girls have already been in line for up to 16 hours. They're holding posters, screaming and wearing T-shirts identifying themselves as members of Team Edward or Team Jacob. Most passersby assume Edward and Jacob are part a band, with one confused father asking his teenage son, "Is Jacob a Jonas brother?""
Fathers, fathers, fathers. They never run out of comments when their daughters obsess over boy bands and the like. My dad was really big on comments when I was into the F4 mania. However, he still hasn't commented on my addiction to werewolves and vampires maybe because they're fictional. My dad already commented on FT Island, by the way. He's been challenging me to read the product labels that are written in Korean because of that. Anyway, my parents also allowed me to have a t-shirt printed that says 'TEAM JACOB' or something like that. I was thinking of having this printed: "Imprinted last New Moon.." in the front; "..by Jacob Black." in the back. Or maybe, "Werewolves over vampires." I saw in PDI that someone wore a shirt with a bitten apple as a design and 'Bite me' was written beneath it. I was thinking of having a pawprint as a design and I'd have 'Imprint me' written under it. Hahahah so much for wishful thinking.
OH YEAH. I have a new layout! Actually I just changed the background, banner and other stuff. Maybe I'll make a new layout soon. I'm still thinking of a design that I could make out of scratch or something. XD

RANDOM PICS!!! Note: If you're scared of blood, don't look at the other pics, please. I don't want you to faint.
Blood Clotting
Squeezing the life out of me. Geez.
I am a true blue Type A.

Tomorrow is Monday and I am still not fully prepare for school. I'm done with 1/3 of my Bio lab report, and I intend to cram my Physics lab report on Tuesday night. That's all for now.

Yoochoob
I am finally done with ALL my written assignments for this week. That is the draft for Research, the final copy of our composition in Filipino, Chem lab report (I HATE THIS LAB REPORT REALLY) and that thingy sa 1/2 for English. I haven't memorized even half of Like The Molave! Darrrrrn.
Not yet Rizal, not yet; Sleep not in peace
There are a thousand waters to span
There are a thousand mountains to cross
There are a thousand crosses to be borne
Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews have
Grown flaccid with dependence; smug with ease
Under another's wing; Rest not in peace
Okay hanggang diyan pa lang namememorize ko. Nakakatamad talaga. As in, sobra. Ang ayaw ko talaga sa Chem labrep was hindi masyado madali intindihin ang redox reactions (para sa akin ha). I had to consume all my time looking for helpful references sa net but kahit na ok naman ang explanation sa net, wala parin ako naiintindihan. It's easier to learn kung may nagtuturo talaga. So hopefully tomorrow, maituro na sa amin ang redox reactions.
So after finishing all my requirements, I watched Hangeul Island (FT Island's show that was shot during their stay in Japan) on Youtube! Thank God na may English subs na. Matuturuan na din ako ni Wonbin magsalita ng Korean. Hahaha. So far, I only got to watch the 1st two episodes dahil tinatamad na rin ako manood. I actually got to learn two phrases in Korean. One was taught by Hongki and the other was taught by Wonbin. These are:
Sa ja reul ki woo da -- I keep a lion (taught by Hongki)
Woori Yeongwonhi Gachi Hamggeh Haja -- Let's stay together forever (taught by WONBIN)
Wala laaang. Naaliw ako sa tinuro ni Wonbin. Hehehe so very sweet. Sabi pa nga nya sa video to say it to all of your loved ones. Lol. XDDD Tska kanina, I posted a message sa message board ng Pops In Seoul promoting Paradiso. WE SERIOUSLY NEED A LOT OF ADVERTISING. So yun, naisip ko na magpost sa Pops In Seoul message board. Sana mabasa ni VJ Isak on TV ang message! SANA LANG PLEAAAASE. Ate Nins also posted a message. Hehehe. ;D

Remember Jung Sungha? That 11 yr old Korean kid who's good in playing the guitar? Guess what. He played 'Anak' by Freddie Aguilar and posted it on Youtube (actually, it's his dad who posts the videos on Youtube.. I think). A lot of Filipinos actually commented on the video and they really liked it. Even I liked it. Sungha's rendition of Anak is really captivating. Magaling talaga siya na bata. Kaso nga lang sa video, wala si Sungha mismo na tumutugtog ng gitara tapos ang video is parang seashore lang. Pero sige nalang. Maganda naman yung music eh. Hehehehe. Here's the video if you want proof. XD
