While waiting for FT Island's new vid to load in Youtube, I'll just blab here.

I didn't blog yesterday since we had a lab report to do and I wanted to sleep. I'm still exhausted from last week and I often find myself sleeping during class. I know it's not a good thing but I cannot help stopping myself indulge in the pleasure of sleep. Anyway, I still manage to get passing grades so uhm.. I guess it's okay to sleep as of now. HAHAHA. Did I mention that I'm a DL this quarter? Weee I'm so happy.

Speaking of those new school shoes I bought, DAMN. It just gave me two blisters on my feet. And damn my feet hurt. I SWEAR. I think I'll be wearing flats to school tomorrow.. Gaaawd.

Well, I'm leaving now. Coz I need sleep. Bye.

It's weird why I chose to change my layout into a Hello Kitty one. Hay, the memories of my childhood and Happy Meals in McDonald's. Lol.

It feels sooooo nice that exams are finally over. I could stop worrying about passing Statistics or Bio. But I'm expecting that next week will be hectic since the seniors in my subcamp asked me to help out with the costumes of the dancers. That means, I'd be uhm.. sewing clothes. And I'm expecting that our research proposal will be returned to us next week for further revision. Looks like the stress isn't over yet. It's just, lessened and less "pressurized" (wtf?).

Let's talk about the exams.

Statistics was, duh.. Not easy, not hard but I'm not expecting a good grade. I already accept the fact that I suck at Stat and I'm not really bothered by it. Either way, I'm expecting that my grade this quarter will be lower.

English was okay, but time consuming. Not expecting a good grade either.

Comsci was easy, but time consuming as well. After passing my exam paper, it was like WHEW. A jolt of relief up my spine.

I ate lunch at the classroom with Grace and the others and Angel and I prepared for the auditions. The auditions was really entertaining to us. It was supposed to be us crew members who will be in the audition venue but it ended up that more than half of the batch was inside to watch as well. I won't spill important stuff but we chosen the people who will play SOME roles and SOME roles would need callbacks. Hopefully, we would have the complete list of the cast on Wednesday so that we could start practicing already.

Here are some highlights of the audition:

- When the audition for Kaikeyi (the "mean girl" queen.. haha) was being held, the others knelt down infront of the king but Grace stood out since she was the only one who sat on the desk.
- Sam's audition as Mareecha was just, DAMN. Really good. I love his evil laugh! Sent goosebumps down my spine..
- Arvee's absolute joy when she auditioned for Mareecha. To those who watched, you know why. Hahaha I KNOW YOU SAW ARVEE'S FACE THEN! LOL.
- JVC and Joshua's audition as Ravana. JVC was a lot like the Joker (damn why the hell did Heath Ledger die?!) and it was really, really spooky. Joshua has potential, but I bet he was distracted since Jihad and the other dudes were watching outside.
- THE AUDITIONS FOR RAMA. Jesmar did good since he was comfortable acting with Che. Joshua has potential but he was distracted by the other people outside. Alfred's audition was really hilarious since he auditioned as Rama SPEAKING BISAYA.
- The auditions for Sita in general. We required those auditioning to sing then suddenly act crazy. All of them did great. Hahaha Maxine wasn't acting, it was just like uhm.. It's acting natural as she said. I agree! Hahaha. Peace Max. :) But yeah, all of them did great. Fati's was really creative since she said that the song is really original but then she suddenly sang the National Anthem. Wow. Hahaha.
- What Arvee said during Darlene's audition as Mareecha. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. ;)

Now even if I said some of my opinions here, it doesn't mean that they're the ones most likely to be chosen. I just stated those auditions up there since it just really amused me. Just wait for the final list on Wednesday, hopefully. Ok? Hahaha.

After the auditions, heard the First Friday mass then went to the subcamp meeting. After that, my carpoolmates and I went to Kopi Roti. I still owe Mikko twenty pesos. Waaaah. Anyway, I ate a Kopi Bun and drank Ice Kopi Jelly. What a great way to reward myself after exams.

Did I mention that my final grade in Bio is 1.25? ALLELUIA THANK YOU LORD!!! Anyway.

I got down at Assumption then walked towards Holiday. I got a haircut and I'm pretty glad with my haircut since my hair finally looks neater and not unkempt. Hahaha I look like a five year old with my haircut. Wanna see it?





See? Told ya. But whatever. I'm gonna let my hair grow until prom season. Hope it gets long enough.

I miss being vain. I miss my cellphone that died on me. Nokia hasn't sent any feedback on how my darling cellphone's current status. I hope it gets fixed soon, and I hope that Smart gives nice cellphones for free. 18 MONTHS TOMORROW! Wohoo. I could finally get my retention!

----------

Nine days left.

And I better learn how to greet people on their birthdays here. So, Happy Birthday to Alfred Abella and Cher Tuazon! :)

----------

..WHERE THE HELL WILL I GET A FROG SKELETON?! TABANGI BEEEEH.

It's my 60th post and it's ten days till my birthday.

The Bio exam was way way easier compared to last quarter. I still don't get why there were kinds of leukocytes included there.. Anyway, I'm not expecting anything amazing.

Filipino was okay I guess.

PE and Health was like, damn. PE had me thinking way more than the Bio exam. Health was okay but PE, yeah sure. I like sports but I'm not a good referee. Boo at me.

Math wasn't hard, you just needed to squeeze some extra juice out of your brain. Had some attacks of mild to medium mental block and I got most of the answers correctly. I'm not expecting a 1.00 in Math anymore.

Got home early and studied for Stat. I kinda bitched around again since some freshman sent a group message and I got real pissed off so I sent a group message back and she just kept on apologizing to me. At least now she's kinda guilty of what she done. No major harm done there but, gawd those group messages are CHAIN LETTERS and highly useless. It's okay to send a GM like, "Powerpoints for Bio here.." and the like. But chain letters? I might chain someone instead. I know it was wrong for me to be brash and rude but I just had enough. I know I disturbed some people (since my YM list is very very unorganized) and I'm really sorry about that. Anyway, Liana already told me that she told some other freshman to stop sending GMs since it's was getting annoying. Thanks Liana! :)

So it's Stat, English and Comsci (BURNNNN) for me tomorrow. Better start with English, NOW. And Ramayana auditions tomorrow. So people involved, be there and be prepared. Hahahaha.

----------

Ten days. Ten days. Ten days.

Exam season this week and I'm expecting my eyebags to grow bigger and puffier. I think I heard somewhere that eyebags are caused by water retention due to stress but my dad told me it's cholesterol. According to my dear father, his classmate during high school who's now an eye doctor/cosmetologist (kinda like that) told him that eyebags are filled with CHOLESTEROL. I seriously have no idea who to believe now, but I'm more on the water retention bit. Anyway, back to exams.

Physics, Social Science and Chemistry on Tuesday.

Eid on Wednesday so no classes!

Biology, Filipino, PE&Health and Math on Thursday.

Statistics (GRARRRR), English and Computer Science (BURN) on Friday.

So uhm, I won't be blogging until Friday I guess.. Or I'll blog on Wednesday night since I'd be studying the whole day.

Wait, did I just say that I was gonna study?! O_O

I. Cannot. Believe. I. Said. That.

Anyway, all I did today was study and tutor some people online. I also studied yesterday and uhm, played badminton as well. But I managed to finish Physics, Chemistry and Socsci today. I plan to review on those three again tomorrow night then I'd work on Math, Statistics then Bio. I'll just use half of my luck on Comsci.

So uhm, I'm about to print Hannah's research paper and..

hannah torralba: macey!! ok lng saio kung magpaprint kme research? we will pay you kahit magkano and will refill you with bond paper. we are inkless. while i am printerless. ol we need is sum1 to print

macey mapanao: uhm. pila ka page?

macey mapanao: ilang pages muna? haha

hannah torralba: hindi abot 30 but ilan maprint mo?

macey mapanao: basta less than 30

hannah torralba: ok.w8 lang

hannah torralba: macey! 29 macey mapanao: sige.

hannah torralba: TENX!!!!

hannah torralba: TENX!!!

----------

All For Love is playing in my head over and over again. At least it gives me a sense of hope and peace. <3>

So I'm back after a hectic week huh? Feels great to be back in business!

As I have said before, our defense was scheduled on Wednesday. But guess what? We ended up having our defense yesterday. To be honest, I wasn't really that nervous for the defense since I had my thoughts gathered up already but according to SM, it was just like having a consultation with your research adviser. And yeah, it was like a consultation. We first presented our powerpoint with some explanations and then Ma'am Daryl started to ask us some questions and we had to answer them in straight English. Hahaha then Ma'am Daryl started to make some suggestions on how to improve our paper. First was we had to synthesize two of our objectives into one and the other was to maybe uhm, change our method from Voronoi Diagram into the MCLP (it's Maximum Coverage Location Planning?) model, just like what SM's group used. So that means, more stuff to add in the RRL? Hahaha. But Ma'am Daryl told us that the due date of the revised proposal is 5 days after she returns our 1st draft. So far, she hasn't returned our first draft and I'm hoping that we'll have it around Thursday or Wednesday so our due date would be next, next week. That way, my concentration for the exams wouldn't be disrupted.

Did I mention that I was chosen as one of the assistant directors of our Ramayana play with SM? Hahaha. Thanks Angel! :D

Errr. Let's talk about what happened to me on Thursday.

I admit it's partially my fault and absolute stupidity. I left my cellphone (the Sony Ericsson P910) in the gazebo during PE time. Ma'am Pags allowed us to leave early so I did, not realizing I left my cellphone. So after a few hours of hanging around, I suddenly realized that my cellphone was lost during lunch time. Being the paranoid freak I am, I started panicking and I ran to the gazebo in the ABD where I left my cellphone during the last 10 minutes of our lunch break and started to search for it frantically. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it so I went back to the classroom and Sir Harold excused me for being late due to my frantic searching. During Math class, I started to bombard my lost cellphone with text messages to return the cellphone to me using my other phone. After Math was Socsci class and Ma'am Wing allowed me to search for my cellphone while they were having a review for the exam. I asked the guard if he saw my cellphone and he said that he didn't see anything and I also asked the help of Ma'am Debbie. Aside from that, I asked the canteen concessionaires and the students of Proton who were at the ABD but both said that they didn't see my cellphone. My last hope was the janitors but they went downtown to get their paychecks and they would return in about an hour. So while the janitors were gone and I was about to prepare for our defense, I asked Ma'am Debbie to ask the janitors just in case they come back. And yeah, I was crying since I was afraid that my dad would ground me for life if I lost that freaking cellphone. So while waiting for our defense, Nikki came to me and told me that they found my cellphone. I started to jump for joy and the guard came to me and brought me my cellphone. He told me that Sir Joel (the head of maintenance in school) found it. So, I went to Sir Joel and thanked him like crazy and he told me that he found it.. in one of the flower pots beside the gazebo where I left it. And guess what? My cellphone was switched off. Now whoever must have took it was smart enough to hide my cellphone in a flower pot then switch it off so that after classes, he/she could come and take it OR that person really wants to play a joke on my since he/she just hates me to death. Either way, I don't give a damn since all I care about if having my damn cellphone back. Even if I said that I would strangle the person who stole my cellphone to death in the middle of the quadrangle for everyone to see, I think I'd rather not know who did that to my cellphone since I might verbally or physically assault that person in public and make a fool out of myself. So, thank God that my darling cellphone was found. And, lesson learned: NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR CELLPHONE UNATTENDED. I kinda got scolded by Ma'am Lani and Ma'am Mendoza but, yeah I deserved it real bad. Anyway, I'm just really glad that I have my cellphone back and I hope that whoever is that person who steals things (I'm still not over my 100 pesos!) would get karma-ed. Karma's a bitch, as they say in Gossip Girl (..did they? haha).

ATENEO WON! YAAAAAY! HAHAHAHA. *randomness*

Today was highly hectic for all of us. We had a quiz in Math, Physics and Statistics and a lab exam in Biology. Today is also the due date of one of our Chem lab reports. I'm not expecting a 1.00 this quarter in Math since I have too many mistakes to get a 1.00. Oh well, I guess I have to settle with a freaking 1.25 again even if people tell me it's more than good enough. Come on, I've been stuck with 1.25 for like I do not know how many quarters ever since 2nd year and I have never been close to a 1.00. Now, I'm really close. I computed my grades assuming values and my grade is 1.25. But then if Sir Harold added the 10 points bonus to the quizzes, my final grade would be 95.4%. I need like, 0.1% to make it into a 1.00 since 95.5% is counted as 96%. IT HURTS MAN. Darn, I didn't even get to answer the bonus item in the quiz correctly a while ago, and it was worth EIGHT POINTS. More than what I need. I had a total mental block a while ago, as I always have when we have a quiz in the first subject of the day. I just hope that Sir Harold gives us more bonuses or at least give us a bonus in the exam. Anyway, I better not keep my hopes high so that I won't end up sulking and eating the hurt away. Or I could try my best to make my exam in Math a 1.00 since I know my exercises and homework are 1.00.. WTF I BETTER NOT HOPE TOO MUCH. I don't want to sulk and eat the hurt away. *cringes*

Had a VEP a while ago. Had games, and such. Went to SM right after to do the groceries and went home. Now, I'm too darn tired.

----------

What the hell did I eat today..

Breakfast - beef and rice
Recess - apples
Lunch - beef and rice
Recess - none
At the mall - shawarma and melon mango shake
Dinner - plums

Diet much? HAHAHA

TRAINING TOMORROW! And studying. Boohoo. But I'm so excited to train! HAHA.

I was supposed to blog last Saturday, Sunday and yesterday butttttt.. I found myself immersed in school work, stress and attempts in getting a good night's sleep. Then I realized that as long as I wanted to keep my grades up and keep my "social life" running smoothly, I had to give up the sleep. Darn.

I'll just summarize what happened to me while I was gone.

Saturday - I went to Fourplay to watch the tournament there. Hannah wasn't able to come since she was at the beach. All I remember was that Joey and Enzo won out of 3 games, Ate Renren and Ate Ruby won all games so they moved onto the semi-finals, and Topet and EJ won a game. Also, I ate lunch at Edong's with Ate Danica. After that, I went to SM to do the groceries with my dad. Then, home sweet home.

Sunday - Gah, this day was great. After church, we went to Victoria to get some stuff and I randomly found brightly colored pants in the tiangge that were in my size (soooo AMAZING!). I checked them out and woah, they cost PhP 300 ONLY. Even my dad was surprised. HAHA. So, my mom allowed me to get a pair and a matching top (worth PhP 250). Yeah, I got a good bargain so my mom allowed me to get another pair of pants when it's my birthday or on some other day.. Most probably my birthday if and only if I get cash. After Victoria, we went home. I slept then watched like, half of the Ateneo VS La Salle game then went to the laundry, then back home. YEAAAAAH ATENEO WON!!!!!

Monday - Found out that lack of sleep could make a person gain weight more and be more emotional rather then being rational. No wonder why I have those emotional fits. I tend to be really cranky when I'm tired or stressed out. And unfortunately, those moments bring out the bratinella in me. Anyway, we practiced for our defense and I got our powerpoint for the defense from JB. A bit of editing, and we're done. Now all we have to do is PRACTICE, which we will do later.

Now you're wondering why I'm blogging in school eh? Let's see.

We have nothing to do this Comsci period and I most likely have zero time for other things later at night so, I blog right now. Tonight, I plan to practice for our defense on my own, read and reread our proposal over and over again, and maybe start studying for the exam. Exams are next week and my grades are going down. Well, not all grades. I'm doing well in Math and I'm doing my best to make my grade 1.00 this quarter. But, I'm really really expecting that my grade in Statistics, Chemistry, Filipino and Research to go down. That's like, FIVE UNITS downward. Maybe I could maintain my Chem grade if I got a 1.00 in my exam and in my lab reports.. Or if I get a good grade in our bonus quiz in Stat.. Or if I get a good grade in the defense and final research proposal.. As for Filipino, I'm not expecting anything amazing.

I find English easier than Filipino, and I bet a lot of you people would most likely agree with me. I speak Taglish (NOT Tagalog.. it's a dead language to me.. haha) more often than English but I write in English better. And yeah, I find it easier to read in English. Believe it or not, I passed Filipino class back in 1st year and 2nd year without reading Noli and El Fili. I just read those Taglish summaries online and voila, I passed. Reading a page of Twilight or any English book would take me about, 2-3 minutes but it would take me 20 OR MORE minutes to read a single page of Noli or El Fili. I know, I'm Filipino, but I suck at the native tongue. Sorry, sorry. But, I'm not alone! Ha, ha, ha.

Okay, I accidentally corrupted my file that contained my quiz in Comsci. Good thing Sir got to check it already. Whew! *randomness*

Due to my busy schedule, I haven't been taking pictures with my dear cellphone. Well, I did take some pictures but I didn't have the energy to place them here somehow. Oh by the way, my cellphone died. How? I dropped it last Saturday. I always drop my cellphone but it still works. However, my luck ran out this time and when I place the battery back inside my phone, boom. It couldn't read my SIM card. It would function without the SIM card like I could use the camera but, a cellphone is not a cellphone without a SIM card. So, I'm stuck to using my dad's old Nokia 8890 (yeah that tiny silver phone) and my SE P910. Fortunately, I might get a new phone next month (just in time for my birthday!) since my Smart plan could give me a new phone 18 months after getting my current cellphone. I got my Nokia 6288 (the one that died) last April 4, 2007 so.. 18 months after is October. Perfect! I hope they give out a free phone that has a nice camera (meaning more than 2 megapix and the flash works well at night). I'm hoping that they give out those cellphones that have Cybershot cameras so that I don't need to beg for a digicam, even if I want one. Also, it is possible that Smart would give a laptop rather than a cellphone. Cool huh? But, my dad said that laptops are cheaper than cellphones nowadays so he allowed me to get a new cellphone (the free one, of course) and he'd get me a laptop most probably next year. As for the digicam? I really want a Canon DSLR since I'm considering photography as a hobby and I want to take pictures with all the light effects then post it on Deviantart. Dad said that he'll think about it but he told me it's more appropriate if I get a camera when I'm in college so that I could ask my ninong to teach me how to take good pics, since he teaches photography at some university. I just forgot where.. Gaaah, so much for wishful thinking. But of course, my top priority is the free cellphone. Then the laptop (FOR RESEARCH!). Then the camera.

I'm thinking about asking for the camera as my graduation gift.. Hmmmm.. I'll think about it really well before I start having regrets. But, I don't think I'd be having much regrets in getting a camera like a DSLR since just thinking about taking pictures in Manila makes me ecstatic.

Speaking of Manila, my mom asked me if I'd be having a week off during sembreak I MEAN ALTERNATIVE CLASSES since Cebu Pacific has a promo that sells tickets to Manila at a more affordable price. I'm hoping and praying that we'd be having a long break so that I could get my butt back to Manila and scour every single mall there. I already have an itinerary, haha! First off, I'd go to Megamall (MY LOVE!!!), Galleria, Shangrila, Rockwell, Glorietta, Gateway, Trinoma, Serendra, Market Market, Mall of Asia, Greenhills, and Greenbelt. Maybe I'd only buy stuff at Greenhills since I kinda mastered the art of haggling already and I know when it's cheaper to buy. Wtf I'm so excited but I'm not even sure if I'm going back home.

So, that's all I'm gonna rant for now. I don't know when I'm gonna blog next.. Boo.

----------

I think I'll post one pic.


----------
19 days to go before the big one six *ehemehemMY16THBIRTHDAYehemehem*.

I'm not excited. Believe me.

I still find myself listening to Westlife over and over again.. Their songs are boyband-ish but not that cheesy like the Backstreet Boys.. So amazing.

Let's summarize what happened today before I rant.

Exercise during Math. Composition again in Filipino. Lesson during Socsci. Quiz during Stat. Lesson during Bio. Absolute boredom while waiting for the acting workshop.

I was quite starstruck when I met Ms. Mia Gutierrez since she got to work with Laurice Guillen, Lino Brocka, JOHN LLOYD CRUZ! Hahaha. I got a lot of substantial stuff from the workshop like if you can't act sad, don't force yourself since it's gonna be obvious anyway. We had this really fun exercise about memory recalling and I pretty much made a fool out of myself. We were made to act out as if we were with someone we loved and uhm, I chose Wonbin out of nowhere (hahaha) then suddenly we were made to imagine that that loved one was in a coffin, dead. I tried thinking that Wonbin as in a coffin, lying in there as a dead corpse but then, I didn't feel any sadness or anything. I was like, "Okay he's dead what a loss now what?". Well I tried imagining my mom or my dad or some of my friends inside the coffin but it still won't work. I tried doing that before but that was during my "emo" moments. Apparently during that time, I still had some sugar rush in my system due to the two donuts I ate for this day. So when we were asked on what we felt during that exercise, I just told them that I imagined myself with some Korean superstar and didn't feel even a bit of remorse when he lay inside the coffin. Yeah I chose the wrong person so next time I try to cry, I'd better think of someone close to me.

My current state right now is that constant cycle of hating myself for no reason. I have a million reasons to hate myself but I just couldn't say what those reasons are because I'm unsure, lost, unstable..? The fibers in my mind are tangled up in a million knots that are hard to untie. Gah, I need some peace of mind.

----------

UPDATE ON THE RAMAYANA PLAY.

Auditions will be held for the roles of Rama (the male lead), Sita (the female lead), Ravana (the main villain), Hanuman (supporting role) and Lakshamana (supporting role). Those who won't pass the audition would get other supporting roles.

AND! We need some guys to choreograph the fight scenes, and 7 script writers.

Dunno when the auditions will be held. Hopefully there would be time since the defense is next week. Then there's Sci-Camp. Maybe the auditions could be on Thursday next week. Hopefully. Just before exam week. Then practices would start maybe.. After exam week.

Wtf I'm not even the official director. HAHAHA.

----------

What did I eat today..

Breakfast - bread and 2 donuts
Recess - Apples
Lunch - Shrimps and rice
Recess - NONE.
Merienda - Penoy and kwek kwek
Dinner - Miso soup and Nesvita

Finally no more donuts here. I could cut off the sugar.

----------

I'm getting a massage tomorrow after watching Topet and Joey play at Fourplay. HAHAHA. Going with Ate Danica, Hannah and the others. :D

Another brush of good luck for the day!

I almost got late for class today, again. A while ago, when I was in the covered pathwalk on my way to class, the guard called me telling me that I was late but in the end, he let me go. I observed that there were a lot who were already running but, seriously, what's the use in running if you're late? Even if you run, you're still late. It makes no big difference at all. Hahaha anyway, I got dressed for PE and headed to the ABD for class. Good thing I just got there on time! We had the mixed doubles quiz in PE this time and Marvin's my partner. We won the first game against Abbey and Gerwin (I think it was them.. haha) and we lost against Winona and Jesmar. I have no idea what my grade is, but I think it's not that bad.

Chem class was fun. We had 2 lab experiments. One was preparing solutions and the other was something about boiling points and freezing points. The boiling part was easy but making the ice go lower that 0 degrees was HARD. We constantly dumped salt on top of the ice to keep it from freezing. And yes, I got to pass my Chem lab report a while ago. +5 for me! YAAAY!

Health class went by a bit fast. We presented our stress relieving exercise (which was listening to music), and it was really appropriate for that time since a lot were cramming their Math homework. Did you know that listening to soothing music while eating could help in digestion? Lol, I just read it somewhere. Anyway, we discussed about alcoholism during class and I kinda related to this part. Believe it or not, the first time I got "drunk" was when I was 3 years old in Japan. Since then, I started to drink beer and other alcoholic drinks in very small amounts ever since I was around 10 under parental supervision of course. The last time I had a drink was summer last year during my cousin's 13th birthday party (my aunt gave me some ice cold beer and my younger cousins had this face O_O.. lmao). Ever since then, I have been very, very sober. I guess I'd try to invite my dad for a drink. Haha my dad's not into drinking nowadays. I mean, he does drink during social events but he usually drinks in small amounts (like, one glass of whisky). If my dad and I would have a drink, one bottle of beer would do. Maybe we'd share the bottle to keep it safe. I cannot wait till I turn 18! Ah, the beauty of legality.

Had a quiz in Math after that. The quiz was easy, but time consuming. That's all I could say.. Hahaha.

Socsci class was funny since we did our radio drama thing. Angel and I did Martin Luther. I noticed that the guys did Queen Mary, and other women while the girls did Luther, Desiderius Erasmus, etc. I was really amused by JM's portrayal of Queen Mary with the matching evil laugh. And.. I remember Winona and Edsel portraying King Henry VIII and they said, "OMG Anne Boleyn is SO HOT!" "She has a body like a sand timer (or, hourglass)!". Okaaay classmates gone wild yo!

Research was okay? Hahaha. Ma'am Daryl scheduled us already for our defense and we're the first ones on Wednesday next week. I have no idea when my groupmates and I will practice our oral defense but, I do hope everything goes great. HOPEFULLY. My grades in Research are berserk so I need to catch up. I hope that our final proposal gets a good grade so we could at least redeem our grades.

After classes, I bummed around in school, doing nothing. Got down at Assumption from the carpool, got home, ate dinner, and I'm here now.

OOOOOH. I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE!

Yesterday, my dad arrived from Manila right? He told me that he saw some really affordable laptops and he's considering on getting me one. But, my dad told me that he's still watching out if there are gonna be new features and all so he told me to wait until next year. Oh sure, it pays to wait! GAAAAH I cannot wait for my laptop.. That is if I'd really get one.

And I finally have a solution to me not having a digicam during my prom. I'd just borrow my dad's cellphone since it has a really good camera and yeah, my dad already allowed me to borrow it. :D Yipeeeee.

----------

What did I eat today..

Breakfast - Rice and crabstick omelette
Recess - Apples
Lunch - Pork with rice
Recess - Cream-O and apples
Merienda - Kwek kwek and penoy
Dinner - Pesto with goat cheese

I ate a lot. Darn. I feel sluggish.

----------

Try listening to Westlife when trying to relax. It works. :) ACTING WORKSHOP TOMORROW!

Finally done with the Chem lab report.. And waiting for dad to come back from the airport.

Today has been a mix of good luck and bad luck for me. I almost got late for school (along with Earv, Alron and Chris), but I got there on time for the Bio lab activity. We had a urinalysis and uhm, it was funny. Marvin "donated" his urine for our experiment and that meant he would clean the test tubes, since it's his pee. Anyway, we were supposed to test if Marvin's pee had hippuric acid crystals, glucose, albumin and bile. After experimenting, Marvin's pee only had a small amount of glucose which meant he's perfectly healthy. AND YES. Ma'am Tenchavez told us that the +5 in lab reports will only be given if EVERYONE IN THE CLASS passes on the due date. It worked for us back in 2nd year, so I hope it works this time. But that policy would be implemented next quarter.. Hahaha.

Filipino is still a struggle for me as ever. I ended up eating during class and yep, my teacher saw me and I think it's gonna pull my class participation grade down. My grades in Filipino right now have been going down the drain, and same goes to most of my classmates. Hopefully, Ma'am Ines would lower the number of items in the quizzes so I still have hopes in maintaining my grade.. I'm expecting that my Research grade will crash like a plane in a corn field.

HAH! Physics was double period so we had an exercise and a bit of discussion. After being spoon fed by Sir Noel for the nth time, I get the answers correctly now. As a matter of fact, I'm getting the hang of it already and all I need to do is to list down all the formulas I need and all the conditions. I just wish that Sir Noel will cut down the items on that 35 point quiz since I got 20/35 (which is one point from passing..) because I didn't have enough time to finish the quiz. Grar, Physics. Hahaha.

Chem made my light up a bit. COMPUTATIONS ARE BACK! And not much concepts anymore. Well, there still are concepts and stuff to explain but computations are back on the road. I asked Ma'am Gigi if she'd give us bonus exercises and quizzes, and I forgot what she said. BUT, I hope she does.

Math never fails to amuse me, as long as it doesn't involve proving stuff using theorems and the like. I thought that proving in Trigonometry was like proving in Geometry but proving in Trigo is kinda like, proving algebraically, which I highly prefer. I haven't done my math homework so.. I'll do it later.

SPEAKING OF MATH. I found out a while ago that I am a candidate for the Math proficiency award in graduation but I was already eliminated because of my stinking 1.75 in Geometry last year. My grade in Math 1 was 1.5, 1.75 in Geom and 1.25 in Algebra. The grades must not go lower than 1.50 so that I could qualify. I know it hurts that I got eliminated BUT, I can't blame myself either. I suck at Geometry, especially the proving bit. I still have hope in Chemistry, Biology, Socsci and English! I STILL DO! I wish.

Anyway, English class was next and we had a quiz on what happened in the story, Tribal Scars. The story was a bit dragging at the start but it began to spark some interest in me when it came near the ending. It was a very good story and the reason for having tribal scars was very realistic. I know some tribes in Africa have tribal scars since they have this ritual for a boy's coming of age where the boy's sisters ask the other older guys to whip them thus causing scars. But in the story, the tribal scars were created so as the Africans wouldn't be captured for slavery (since the Whites rejected the Africans with blemishes on their body). Cool huh? Also, Ma'am Annie showed to the class our drawings on the main highlight of the story. Some were colorful, some were morbid. Aside from that, we were made to write in our learning log on what we would dare to do once we graduate from Pisay. I said that I'd get more ear piercings and I'd get a tattoo, most probably.

I also got to talk to Ma'am Annie about the Ramayana thing. Well, I'm volunteering myself to be the director and Angel wants to help out so, maybe we could be the DIRECTORS. Hahaha someone to share the fun and stress with. Anyway, Angel and I were planning on having a batch meeting concerning this so that we could assign committees for the props, costume, lights, music and dance, etc. Also, we are planning to hold the auditions for the parts in the play. I'm still gonna research on who are the characters in the story. I hope that we have enough batchmates who are willing to act and all. HAHAHA I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE PLAY!

After school, went to SM, bought something at NBS, took a taxi home, did my Chem lab report, took a bath, ate dinner, and now my dad just gave me my dry fit shirt that he bought for me in Manila. YESSSS! Another dry fit shirt! I already have one from Nike, and this new one's from Adidas. Cool, cool. Next up: YONEX! If I have extra cash..

Speaking of cash, I know everyone's heard of the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers in the USA. Well, one bank that's affected is BDO and uhm, I keep my savings there. I admit that I kinda have a big amount of savings there so I'm so scared of losing my cash. So, my mom told me that we're gonna get all my cash and we're gonna move it to BPI. Great, so when are we gonna do it? Hopefully, TOMORROW. Or as soon as possible.

----------

What did I eat today..

Breakfast - Penne
Recess - Apples
Lunch - Adobo with rice and Gatorade
Recess - An apple and cookies
At the mall - a brownie
Dinner - Penne

Shoot. I ate too much. That's the bad effect when our maid forgets to pack some water in my lunch bag. Water, is, a, MUST.

----------

Everything seems so silent since my dad's in Manila right now. Hahaha.

Started the day with groggy eyes and constant whines. Believe it or not, I slept late again last night. I was expecting that I'd get some good ol sleep but NOPE, not much sleep. I recall asking my mom if I could be absent from school today and she said yes. It's great that my parents allow me to skip school as long as I wanted to ever since I started high school. They must have finally understood how stressful it is to be a student in my alma mater. But you know what, I still end up going to school since skipping school is really hard. Anyway, I bummed around during Comsci..

Did I mention that I saw a picture of bone marrow in Francis Magalona's Multiply (yeah, he's my contact on Multiply!)? Hahaha. Also saw a bag of platelets there as well. I dunno, I just got intrigued with the platelets and bone marrow because of Biology class. By the way, heard Francis M's on chemotherapy. So all I could say is that, I hope that he'll get well soon so he could make some more good music! Lalala kaleidoscope world.. :) Anyway.

Got lucky during the quiz in Socsci.. TOTALLY SUCKED IN THE CHEMISTRY QUIZ.. Had a headache during the Math exercise because of that freaking bonus item, and got giddy during English because of 'em fake zebra stripes.

The SG was a bit more than the usual. Ma'am Annie told us that 10 members of the SG would join an acting workshop this Friday with other members of CAMP and Oasioas. The one who will be teaching us is the actress Mia Gutierrez (she's the one who played John Lloyd Cruz's mom in Tabing Ilog). As for me, I have no idea who the hell she is but from what Ma'am Annie told us about her, she might have been really famous to some other generation. Well, I'm looking forward to the acting workshop! Can't wait to yell at people.. Kidding, kidding.

On the way home, I rode a jeep going to SM since my mom told me to go there. I was with SM and JVC then. I asked SM to help me solve the freaking bonus item in Math and voila, I solved it when I was inside the jeep! I was highly euphoric at that moment so I started laughing like a fool and all. Also, we got to talk about the Ramayana thing. I already placed my bets on who could play Rama, Sita and Hanumman (the monkey god!). Anyway, after that I got down at SM, bought something at NBS, bought a mango avocado shake and went home with my mom and our maid.

Thank the almighty God that it's Friday, for next week will be no sleep for me.. AGAIN. Darn.

I think I woke up kinda late again today. I sleep at 9:30pm and get up at around 5:45am but it still feels like I still lack a lot of sleep. Anyway, what the heck did I do today.. Math! Still fun as usual, for me. Sines and cosines amuse me in a weird way. So odd. Hahaha then we had Socsci instead of Filipino. The activity was fun since we had this speech choir thing and the topic was either the good or bad stuff about the Renaissance or a mix of both the good and bad. As for my group, we made fun of the people back in the Renaissance. Like we said that Leonardo da Vinci plucked Mona Lisa's eyebrows since he wanted to have a salon someday or saying that Michelangelo touched his sculptures private body parts since his sculptures were of nude people. We didn't mean it literally anyway. We just did it for laughs. Good thing is that our teacher had a good laugh as well. Then during Physics, we had this super easy seatwork then in Statistics, my mind just drifted off..

And then Bio came.

BIO WAS FUN! Hahaha. I really liked the combination of sodium hydroxide (lol HYDROXIDE) and phenophthalein. Both chemicals are clear colored but when you mix them, it turns fuschia, hot pink or something like that. It just brought out the ignorance in me and, it's pink yo! Anyway, the lab experiment required us to run around so, Grace and I (since she was my partner) started running around and exercising. So much for trying to lose the fats. Hahaha. After that, the sodium hydroxide and phenophthalein suddenly got spilled onto the table and I had a hard time cleaning it up since it always turned pink and stained the table. Eventually after using a rag instead of tissue, the mess finally got cleaned up. Great, time for the iCons festival thing.

The iCons thing was, okay I guess. It's gonna be featured in TV Patrol Southern Mindanao on Monday night, according to the dude from ABSCBN. What was really fun was the time when I was teasing Ian G and the cameraman from ABSCBN who was behind Ian G was laughing since Ian G said that he/she's gonna be famous. Okay, I won't comment on that. Lmao. And I think they video-ed Sir Ponch was well.. Yes, the Ponch! But I'll be looking our for Ian G.. That would sure be, surprising. After the exhibit thing, they made us watch this film about hackers and everything. It kinda amused me since there are such professions as ethical hackers who are paid to hack into rival companies' databases or files so that the company they're working for can analyze trends in competition, etc etc etc. And yes, hacking has been existent ever since the late 1970's. So, amazing? Hacking could be fun, but I don't really like computer codes so, never mind. I'll just find a hacker and watch him or her hack a system. That would be fun. Lesser brain work. Oh yeah, I got my IQ test results! My IQ is 124 and I'm above average. It's okay I guess. Anyway.

At 3pm, we were allowed to have our first Friday mass at the Quadrangle. I attended mass of course since I know my parents would ask me if I did.. And duh, it's the first Friday. Anyway, the mass wasn't dragging since the homily was really short but meaningful (WHICH IS WAY BETTER THAN THOSE LONG DRAGGING ONES.. I tend to daydream if that's the case..). And the funny thing was the mass celebrant's name was Father Edsel. When we heard that, a lot of us reacted since we have a classmate named EDSEL. Anyway after the mass, I went out early since my carpoolmates and I agreed to buy food at Kopi Roti today. I ate a Kopi bun and Kopi jelly, as usual. I got down at Assumption and walked to Holiday since my dad told me he'd fetch me there.

At Holiday, I got to chat with Kuya Mitch and Kuya Randy first. Kuya Mitch told us that all of us are so caught up with Research since he always sees in our stats in YM that we're stuck with Research after classes. Gaaaah the cons of Research! NO SLEEP. Anyway, I also got to talk to Ate June (the one at the front desk.. haha) and she said that I looked stressed out and all. I also asked her if my eyebags were big and yeah, she said yes. I don't feel offended actually. I just can't really judge if eyebags are big or not since it's the first time I had let's say, "halfway to severe" eyebags. I usually get dark circles in my eyes, but it's due to the lack of sleep. So as of now, I have the dark circles and eyebags. Ah, the mark of a die hard Pisayer. I don't feel bad anyway. Most of us have it, so.. I fit in! Hahaha. And I also got to chat with Ate Cherryl (my former gym trainer during the summer) and I didn't get to finish my story to her since my dad already arrived.

I got home, had penne again for dinner. But this time, pomodoro style! With bacon and olives. Yummmmmmyyyyyy.

So what the hell will I do tomorrow?

Training. Duh. A lot of people have been inviting me to go to the YFC thing tomorrow at the CAP auditorium but I can't. First, I haven't asked permission from my parents to do so. Second, I already promised Hannah that I'd train. I don't want to leave Hannah alone there in training, since the others are attending the YFC thing right? I'm such a good friend. Hahaha. Good thing Che and Darlene pointed out to me to prioritize commitments first and hopefully, there's a next time. I was actually having doubts to go to the YFC event since my ulterior motive was to go there for friendship. But then, I was afraid to go since I might be out of place and all. Che told me to go to the event for God so that it wouldn't be a waste. She's absolutely right. I'm trying to strengthen my relationship with God but sometimes, I end up slacking off. I don't even remember the last time I prayed. Gosh. Then I remember.. My parents spent two to three hours a day just to pray. One hour in the morning, noon and night, each. I'm not the prayer book kind of person. I talk to God as if he's a friend to me. Now that my life is in a whirlwind, I need to talk to Him and I plan to do it before I sleep. I really need to fix my spirituality. Hope God is generous enough to give me time to redeem myself.

Speaking of being afraid that I'd be out of place, I need to get out of my comfort zone. It was actually Darlene and Che who pointed that out to me. They told me that maybe I stay in my comfort zone much more then getting out that's why I feel this way. For some reason, they're right. I always tell myself that I'm a risk taker but after all this time, I'm still playing it safe. I think I'm following my value system way too much than what is expected. I think I need to bend my values a bit. Maybe a bit of alteration with limitation (lol it rhymes!). And maybe, experiences in the past traumatized me, particularly back in grade school. That might have damaged my self esteem and trust in myself partially. I guess I've been too hard on myself huh? Maybe, maybe.

This caused me to have very vivid dreams these past few days. Last night, I dreamt that I was in an amusement park. This morning when I woke up, I read its dream interpretation and here's what it read..

"To see or be in an amusement park in your dream, indicates that you need to set some time for leisure and more enjoyment in your life. Consider how everything in the park is an expression of some aspect of yourself. Alternatively, you may be too easily distracted lately." - from dreammoods.com

Thank God for friends who give constructive advice. They're for keeps. :)

----------

PICTURES! Finally. After I don't know how many years.

I know you agree with me!

But look at the mess it could make. Lol.

Randomness: MEET PEGGY! Angel's apple-monkey! *giggles*

I have this theory that people who don't have much confidence in themselves are those who are most likely to be jealous in any given situation that yields jealousy. If that's the case, count me in.

I'm planning to get a massage tomorrow night. It's a good thing my dad asks me if I want to have one when he gets a massage. Hope I fall asleep so I won't get too ticklish.

The day was odd, somehow.

PE was fun even if I got pwned and lost. I enjoy table tennis a lot, really. I never really expected it to be enjoyable. Hahaha the cool thing is that I get to use strategies in badminton when I play like to place the ball where your opponent is weak. But I admit that I'm not gonna be really good at table tennis. I guess I'll just play it for fun.

Chem was, okay. We had a discussion and a really short lab activity. Health was funny since the stress relieving exercises we had was reflexology. Since I didn't have a partner, Sir Mancao asked me to be his partner since he wanted to be pampered and everything. Yeah, I even told Sir he was spoiled and he just gave me a thumbs up. LOL. After that was Math. I was careless again during the quiz. Minor mental block. I'm still aiming for a 1.00 and not I'm still stuck in 1.25. Gaaaaawd. Then Filipino took place instead of Socsci. The task was hard since we had to compose a poem with this letter ending and everything and you know what, I suck at Filipino. So ironic eh? I find English easier. So Angel and I just thought of whatever, passed the paper and off we went to Research.

Research was, HEAVEN SENT. Ma'am Daryl showed to us her research paper when she was in college and guess what? IT INVOLVED VORONOI DIAGRAMS. Our problem involves Voronoi Diagrams and Ma'am Daryl allowed us to cite her study as part of the related studies portion in our RRL. Cool huh? Also, the research paper had a lot of good references on how to make a Voronoi Diagram. Maybe I could pick up some good stuff there. Finally, I get to fix my darling RRL.

After Research was the continuation of the games in PE. Yeah, I lost again and I'm getting a 2.50 for the 50% of my exam in PE. Surprisingly, it didn't matter that much to me. I just kept on promising to myself that I'd redeem myself next quarter since badminton is our next topic. HALLELUJAH. Ma'am Pags already asked me to do some demos next quarter, and I think she'll be asking Angel and Liana as well.

Then the screening for the Smart Talking contest came. I wasn't that nervous but I guess I kinda overcame my stuttering when I talk in front of judges, panelists, and the like. Waiting time was fun since I just talked to Chris, Ally, called Charles Uy a flirt and I told Jovan he's unlucky to my life since all the contents of my old USB got erased when I saved his Bayani of the Week announcement. Anyway, I got a really good question for the Smart Talking. I think I got something like.. 'Why do you think blogging is a good way to communicate to young people?'. Something like that. I was really enlightened that time since, I AM A BLOGGER. And to cut things short, I think I answered the question adequately but I kinda regret not telling other stuff since I was too excited to talk and everything. Hahaha. Anyway whatever happens, at least they think I'm 'SMART'. Dream on, kid.

AND YES. THE IQ TEST RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE! I GOT MINE ALREADY! HAHAHAHA.

I'm currently experiencing writer's block now. It doesn't feel nice, really.

I have ideas running through my head but it isn't concrete enough to be written in pen and paper. I'm having seconds about passing my story as my English project. Writing a story like what I'm making is tedious work and it takes at least a year to finish and revise it. So, I'm thinking of passing my blog entries starting from October 12 (the day I turn 16, obviously) until the time comes to pass the project. Then maybe as a teaser, I could include fragments of my story, or whatever parts I have compeleted and revised. If I get to finish my story by December or early January, then I'm passing it as my project. But, I'm also considering in taking time in writing my story since hurrying up won't make it really good. I'm trying my best in making this darn story of mine, even if I'm only stuck writing the rising action of the story and the ending. I really, really need a fallback in having a sense of fulfillment in case my research paper doesn't really give me that kind of satisfaction (we're trying our best for it to succeed. RRL, here we come!). So I'll just take one day at a time in writing my story and really, really give my heart into it. I asked Hachi to read some parts that I made and I'm really glad that she liked it. Gaaaah, I know I'll finish this.

I will finish that darn story. I really need to learn how to fulfill the promises I make to myself.

I'll talk about my day today. I got up early since my mom asked me to accompany her when she takes her CT Scan. After that, we went to Paramount to get my blouses and then to NCCC to buy some stuff in the grocery. Then we went home and I went online and joined Twilight Coven PH (Twilight's Philippine Fanbase!). I also made an icon for my avatar using Photoshop and then after that, I left home for training. The people who were there was Angel, Hannah, Darlene, Jp, Jaycon, Paolo, Ate Danica and Joeyboy. I'm glad that Hannah and I got to practice our rotation since we're competing in a tournament in two weeks. After training, my dad and I played a game with Hannah and Kuya Randy. Kuya Randy and my dad were teammates so that Hannah and I could practice more. After that, I got dressed and joined the others in the cafe. I ate some tofu chips and drank C2 while having more chit chat with the people. Did I mention Chia and Che were also there? Hahaha. They went swimming and Che's little bro tagged along. After some chit chat, my dad got dressed after hitting the gym and we went home. I ate dad's special bacon (it's really good!) with rice for dinner and I'm drinking Nesvita to aid my digestion. Meat's hard to digest you know. Do you want me to track it down for ya? Lol. My dad also contacted some companies where I could possible have my internship. It's really weird that my dad knows a lot of people from almost every professional field but it's an advantage to me this time. So far, Mincor already allowed me to intern there. My dad's still contacting BMeg and McSomething, but I really really want to intern in RDL. It's the closest thing I have to cosmetics here. I wanted to intern in Avon but it's in Manila. That's why I wanna take up Chemical Engineering. I want to put up my own cosmetics company, in honor of my darling mother who's fondness of cosmetics (particularly perfumes, body butters and lotions) inspired me to formulate that goal. Another promise to myself. I MUST FULFILL IT!

Now I'm listening to Goodbye by Air Supply. I just loooove this song. I could imagine the part where Edward said goodbye to Bella in New Moon since he was about to leave, and they were in the forest.

I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say
But... goodbye.

MONDAY NANAMAAAAAN. Well, everything started out pretty normal. During homeroom time, we discussed on who's gonna join the cooking contest thing on Friday. And I rewrote my Chem lab report. Anyway, we all know I love to cook right? So I volunteered to join. Since there were 7 of us who wanted to join and we only needed 5, there was a votation and unfortunately, I wasn't chosen (coz I'm such a loser. haha). Of course I felt bad but eventually I realized that it was just fair that we would have a votation according to Edsel's democratic rule. Hahaha. After that was Physics. The quiz was really easy. Then after that was Comsci where we had to make 3 more exercises. One is by pair and the two others are individual. Daaaaarn. I intend to do the exercises tomorrow since it's double period and if I don't finish the individual exercises, I guess I'll just do it over the week. What's important is that Angel and I finish the pair exercise. After that was Statistics. The lesson isn't as hard and we got to finish all topics for the first quarter. Yay! Then after that was Filipino. Ma'am Ines made us recite our compositions in front. Luckily, I wasn't called yet and I don't want to be called since my topic is super boring. Even I don't like the topic I used for my composition. The reason why I stuck to that topic was because when we were made to write an example of a body of a composition using the Pamaraang Paangulo, the rising of the price of gas and fares was all I could think of. Before I knew it, that was our final topic. So no matter how boring and lame that topic was, I'm glad I got to stick to it and I got to write something acceptable. Not really good but, acceptable. Hahaha. After that was Lunch. I ate something spicy. Hehehe. After that was Chem and we had more Stoichiometry. Akala ko naman na tuturuan na kami tungkol sa oxidation kaso hindi pa pala. Waaaah. Anyway, bukas ang quiz. Then after that was English. We had an acitivity in English regarding coherence. So, Ma'am Annie gave us sentences and she made us arrange it and it must be COHERENT. Hahaha. Also, she shared to us how crazy the English language is thru a portion of an article that she found online. Ma'am actually gave me her copy. Thanks Ma'am Annie! Ok. Here it is.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant
or ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted.
But if we explore its paradoxes,
we find out that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea, nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write,
but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce,
and hammers don't ham?
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
why isn't the plural of booth beeth?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,
what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed
to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
But it is evident that English was invented by people, not computers,
and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all).
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible,
but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And when you want to shut down your computer you have to hit start.

I never really thought of that before. Hahaha. And good news! We are going to recite Like The Molave next week which means I have about a week to memorize the whole thing. Yaaaay! Anyway after English was Research. We passed our drafts and Ma'am Daryl told us that whatever she taught to us aside from what we have in our notes will be in the exam. So that means APA style in writing is included as well as the guidelines in making the 1st chapter. Okaaay. I'll prepare myself for anything. HAHAHA.

After Research, I went camwhoring with Czam, Nikki and Gilleanne and Gio was our photographer. Hehehe.

After camwhoring, I went to the Comlab to email the powerpoint presentations that I needed in Comsci and do some research. After that, I went outside to the carpool. I got dropped off at Assumption since my dad was going to fetch me in HGS. From there, I went to GMall to buy stuff in NBS and I took a taxi home. I had milk and Skyflakes for dinner and now I'm torn between sleeping early or watching Hangeul Island on Youtube since we don't have any assignments. My mom told me to start studying but I told her that whatever I study stays longer in mind if I cram. It's true for most of us eh, whether you believe it or not.

And I still cannot believe that I wrote this entry in ALMOST pure English. It is waaaaay easier to express things in Filipino especially when you're pissed off. The words in the native tongue really has this like, "zest" to the words so that word can really describe what you're trying to convey. For example the word, 'hinayupak'. It is used to describe people who act like animals. Just by listening to the word makes me cringe in disgust. Hahaha.

Anywaaay. I'll just post some random pics. Para hindi sayang yung inupload ko sa photobucket. *wide smile*

OMG OMG OMG. The Eraserheads are having a reunion concert!!!! Unfortunately, you have to be 18 and above to enter. Anna told me you even have to scan your ID to prove that you're 18. And Marlboro is the sponsor. Okaaaay no wonder. But this is good news especially to die hard Eheads fans. I'm not a die hard fan, but I love their music. I even remember having a nightmare what I watched their music video of Maskara. I think I was only 8 years old then. Hahaha. Anyway, I hope this concert will be a success and there will be more reunion concerts in the future. DITO NAMAN SA DAVAO BEH. =))

----------

So that's basically it for today. Hope your day was good too.

Pierce.
Slice.
Suck.
Inject.

Stop biting me you damn mosquito.

Today is Saturday - Saturn's day. Hehehe. I woke up at around 8:30 already because I slept at around midnight last night. Before eating breakfast, I drank Psyllium (tama spelling) fiber so that I won't go hungry easily. Psyllium fiber is helpful in weight loss since it's a natural fat absorber. So for it to be used for weight loss, it must be taken in 30 minutes before eating. So yun ginawa ko. 30 minutes later, I wasn't that hungry so I resulted in eating Skyflakes with tuna. Yum. After eating breakfast, I took a bath since I'd be meeting Hannah and the rest at GMall. Manglibre si Hannah sa Pizza Hut kase birthday nya sa Tuesday. Wohoo! Then I got a text from Angel asking kung what time and where manglibre si Hannah kase gusto niya magsurprise entrance. Hehehe. I remember her telling us na di daw siya payagan. Anyway, while dressing up, I got to watch Pops In Seoul after I do not know how many years. I got to listen to some cool new songs (new for me since I'm not that updated in Kpop, except for FT Island related things) like One by Epik High (their MV has Jeong Ryu Won, the actress who played Kim Sam Soon!) and M Style by Lee Min Woo. Also, I got to see a glimpse of one of Rain's music videos when he was still the Justin Timberlake of South Korea (I think he still is now but it was more evident before. haha). The video was How To Escape The Sun and his dance moves were just, woah. It's better to watch Rain in his music videos dancing than seeing him dance in Clear commercials, seriouslyyy. Lmao. Want proof? Here's the music video!

It's Ahn So Hee! Haha.

While watching the show, I learned about a new portion there that you could tell a story of what's up with your life then request a song and if you have been chosen, you could win a prize! The story featured there was from kirihara from the Philippines (KABABAYAN NATIN ITO! WOHOO) and she shared something about her sister getting married (not sure about this, but something like it) and she requested One by Epik High. Madami talaga nanonood ng Pops In Seoul. Superrrr. Hahaha. Which is a good thing, by the way. Tumataas na ang chances na pumunta dito ang FT Island! Yeheeeey. So, I plan to join that whatever you call it thing in the show and I just wish I get chosen so that I could promote Paradiso. Talk about widespread advertising. Anyway, we left right after my dad got dressed since malelate na ako sa lakad ko.

When I got to GMall, the first one I saw was Hannah. So, we waited for the others. The others who came were Ate Danica, Darlene, Robien, Kuya Mitch and Roeland. Jp came in next, then Angel made her surprise entrance. Hahaha. We ordered 1 Cheesy Pops, 2 Triple Stuffed Crust (all 3 pizzas were Super Supreme), 3 Caesar Salads and I had a Black Forest for my drink. Siguro this means na hindi na dapat ako maging kuripot pagka nanglibre ako sa birthday ko.. Hehehe. Hannah, thanks sa libre!!! :) And duuuh. We camwhored again. Alangan eh. Hahaha.

After eating, Kuya Mitch had to leave since magtuturo pa siya ng Kids training sa Holiday. Paglabas namin, may nakita kaming tarp ni John Lloyd Cruz and napagtripan namin magpapicture dun kase sabi ni Ate Danica HOT DAW si John Lloyd. Hahahaha!

While on our way to the 2nd floor to get a pic taken sa Yoyong's, we ran into Shi-Em! (si JM, actually. haha). Tapos biglang nawala si Robien (ulit). When we got to the second floor, napagtripan namin pumasok sa loob ng Adidas kase may posters dun ng players ng Ateneo and Lasalle. Hehehe. Swerte ang AdMU and DLSU kase sponsor nila ang Adidas and they have really nice jackets. Lmao. And duuuuh. More camwhoring. Hehehe.

After that, we went to iCenter first to get Jp's iPod fixed and we also got to look around. Darrrrn. Nakita ko na yung iPod ko is 6k nalang and I got it for 13k. Oh welllll. That's life. Hahaha. And we got to take a picture using the Macbook Air displayed there. It wasn't as thin as I expected it to be but it was really nice. Apparently, a lot of people who tried using the Macbook Air on display took pics of themselves too using its built in camera. Hahaha.

After going to the iCenter, we went to Yoyong's to have our picture taken. Naaliw kami sa mga stuffed toys, mas lalo na si Roeland na sobrang aliw kay Snoopy. He looked like a lost little boy. LMAO.

After having our pic taken, may nakita akong store na nagbebenta ng shutter shades. So, I called Ate Danica's attention and the both of us hurriedly went inside. Hahaha unfortunately, they only sold the shades in red and green. Gusto sana namin white. Anyway, after that, we parted ways kase pupuntang Holiday si Dar, Hannah and Roeland, nagsama si Jp and Angel tapos sumama si Ate Danica sa akin dahil sabi ng dad ko na pupunta kami sa SM and may lakad si Ate Danica dun. So Ate Dan and I went to Pancake House and nung nakita namin sina Angel and Jp, sumama kami papuntang NBS but Ate Dan told me na mauna na siya kase baka malate siya sa kanyang lakad. So I went to NBS with Angel and Jp. I asked the customer service kung may Twilight na (for the nth time!) kaso wala pa daw. BOOHOO. Then I went to the books section to check out some books. I saw some Murakami books that seem interesting and I also saw some Tagalog romance novels (you know those really cheap ones? yeah those) with Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley and Gisele Bündchen on the cover. OKAAAAY that was weird. Tska nagpakafeeling photographer nanaman ako so I took pics again. Waaah.

Nakita din namin si Ma'am Jenny sa NBS! Hehehe. After a while, I left na rin kase I sensed na my dad was done eating and timing talaga when I met my dad again in Pancake House kase he was done paying the bill and was about to leave na rin. So we went to SM to do the groceries. In the Fish section, I saw this super duper big fish with big scary eyes. As in it was positioned na parang center of attention siya. If you were there at SM supermarket kanina, you'd get what I mean, unless nabenta na siya at di mo na naabutan. Hehehe. Ohyeah, I saw Ma'am Janice there. Nagulat ako kase someone suddenly poked my tummy tapos yun pala si Ma'am Janice. Plus, I got used to seeing her in GMall. Lol. Anyway, here's the big fishie I've been talking about.

Cher Marie Tuazon, this is for you! Hahaha.

While my dad was gonna pay for the stuff we bought, I went to NBS to buy stuff that I needed for school. I saw a pen with pink ink! And no, it isn't a MyGel pen. It's Stabilo. Hahaha. After going to NBS, I went back to the grocery to meet my dad again and umalis na kami. We went to Damosa to pick up the laundry and we also went to the Swiss Deli to buy salad greens there and some other food stuff. After that, my dad told me that I drive when we get inside the village so that I could learn more. So went we got into the village, my dad and I switched seats and I drove our car. Don't believe me?

Believe me now. Haha. 3 months nalang pwede na ako! Yay.

When we got to the house, I brought all the stuff we bought and the laundry down with our maid and I went upstairs to finish my homework. So far, I already encoded my draft for Research and I'll do more fixing tomorrow. I also got to memorize like, 4 lines of Like The Molave and I've done until the data part of my Chem lab report. Maybe after this, I'd encode my composition in Filipino. Maybe I'd just cram my Chem lab report tomorrow since ideas come out of my mind easily when I cram. Hehehe. After that, I didn't each much for dinner and now I'm still stuck here. Roflmao. XD

And the reason why I didn't train is because I'm too damn tired. There's too much stuff to do. Also, we planned to join the Emcor badminton tournament this August. Okay lang sumali kase wala naman masyadong gagawin by that time. Partner ko si Hannah. Magpartner si Angel and Darlene, and Robien and Jp. Sasali kami ng Level F I think.. HAHAHA! =))

While surfing on Youtube, I came across this video while searching the MV of Make A Wish by Ellegarden. It's a Korean girl playing songs using her electric violin. Absolutely AMAZING. She has videos playing Canon Rock, Tears In Heaven and other stuff. And she even has the theme song of Friends! Lol. I highly recommend watching it! Dunno what her name is though. T_T By the way, she has the 6th most subscribed channel in South Korea. I wonder if the placed here on Star King already.. Haha.
