I've come to the conclusion that I thrive on pressure. Not only me, but lots of others coming from the same high school as I did.

It's been a while since I last became pressured as I was last Thursday/Friday. I had to pass four outlines for English (due to my negligence >_<), and I bloody well wrote a dozen yellow pad pages, back to back, scratches/rewriting not counted, until 2 am. Haha. Even under now, my right hand feels weird whenever I write something.

Ah, pressure. I missed you.

I'm not alone, either. Midterms are coming, so I guess it is time to be pressured (GCs only, I guess, so GCs are thriving nowadays). Clariza admits she missed the pressure, too. PSHS could never be PSHS without the daily pressures.

Ha. I missed it. I bet you do too.

2008-08-07T09:04:00.001+09:00

Just a quick post, since I'm supposed to be taking a bath already to go to school - I just took a snatch in the internet from my mom's laptop.

In any case, I now confirm that I work best when I fight with someone. I'm most productive.

What a bitch, right? Argh. I seriously need attitude control.

2008-08-03T03:33:00.002+09:00

Yssa's wasted.

I just came home from Chiara's 18th birthday party. It was so cool - the place was cool, the program's okay, Chiara's dress(es) are great, and the food (my first time to eat roasted turkey and lamb!) was just awesome. Drinks too. It was my first time to attend a party with alcoholic drinks, and my first time to actually see people I know, and are about my age, throwing up and getting wasted and whatnot. So cool (>_<).

I just drank around 7 shots, which is mostly tequila. I stopped when I got a headache, sort of. I don't have a high resistance to alcohol. But there are people getting wasted everywhere (so not gonna mention names). Eye-opener for an ignorant girl (T___T)

New Purpose in Life?

2008-07-29T18:53:00.002+09:00

I just realized, though I've bet a long time ago, that I'm a night person. My brain functions best nearing midnight, right after Pinoy Dream Academy (>_<)V. No, really. For the past week, I've been sleeping past 12, which is not really good considering that my skin is prone to pimples.

This weekend, my mother made us write everything that we want to happen in our life. I wrote a lot, but my mom said it should be detailed, so I guess I should write more. I'm sharing this because it made me feel like I have direction. Not so much a purpose in life, but a general sense of where I am heading.

Hopefully someone (anyone >___________<) who reads this could to this. Try it out.

2008-07-28T20:01:00.000+09:00

I learned how to deal with stress:

DON'T DEAL WITH IT!

Haha

2008-07-26T00:31:00.002+09:00

Blogging without a purpose is one of my illnesses, and I'm doing it right now. Reading fanfics is an antidote, but it is an illness in itself.

Blabbing.

I'm making a fanfic. I know I swore a year/two years? ago that I would never, never put my fingers on a keypad and start writing again (Pen fanfic writing, or writing for that matter, was never effective with me), but... um... well, I found Fai too irresistable. LOL, kidding. It's just that I found another character to play with. Haha.

So, yeah, guess what I was doing.

I've cured this disease last year, but it's back. Again.

What the hell is the cure to fanfic addiction? Do we have a rehabilitation center for one? Coz seriously, I want off. But I love Fai. LOL.

2008-07-20T13:48:00.002+09:00

It's sort of funny, for my brother to be involved in something like this, too.

Lately, my brother had been very irritable. At first I thought that he was angry at me, because I love annoying the hell out of him. But it seems he's got some thingy-majingers running on his mind.

Turns out that his crush last year still has a crush on him, and he still likes her a little. My cousin said that he was thinking on how to dump the girl, but it seems the contrary to me. He keeps asking me things like "Do you have a crush?" "Have you ever had fallen in love?" or "Do you wish you have a boyfriend?" I bet he's confused on whether he should go for it or not.

I'm not the person to ask for those kinds of things. David and I have the same mindset, and that is no romance and all study. Yep, we've turned to nerds, thanks to our mom who said we should not have a boyfriend/girlfriend while we are studying. I understand that, but sometimes I wonder how it feels to have a boyfriend. To be frank, I want to try it once before graduating college, but seeing that I have a scholarship to maintain, I don't think I'll be able to.

So, I've decided to ignore everyone coming my way. I don't want to make paasa anyone, so might as well ignore. Hopefully the message is understood.

As for my brother... haha... I guess I'll look on what he's plan of action would be.

2008-07-17T10:00:00.002+09:00

I think the typhoon's gone.

I love rain/cold weather. Clothes for cold weather are so cool (no pun intended >_<), and well, now that the typhoon's gone, it's warm again. hot, even. Augh.

Mantra: [*shopping. shopping*] Money for me?

2008-07-11T20:40:00.002+09:00

Fai is the most tragic character I've ever seen.

Fai is the most tragic character I've ever obsessed with.

I love Fai~~!

So, [we] just came from an Oblation briefing. And I just realized that I could fail PE and I won't lose the scholarship, which is total relief. Because to pass, we have to average 70 points each game in DUCK PIN BOWLING. I wouldn't mind if that was ten pin, but no~~~~~~~~, coz duck pin is actually harder than ten pin. Last game got me... *drumroll*

45 points.
Sheesh.

I can't believe I was worrying about losing my scholarship because of PE.

2008-07-05T11:16:00.002+09:00

Haven't updated in a while. I thought I was totally killing my blog, since I don't have an internet connection at home and I always have more important things to do when I'm at PC shop (ehem, ehem - no, really). So... now that my mom left her laptop at home, I'm so taking my chance to just surf the net. I haven't done that in a while (>_<).

We went to the concert yesterday, which they said would start at 6 but started at 7:30. It's actually my first time to attend a concert - it was free. LOL. But I guess it was fine. Some popular bands arrived, but I liked Sugarfree best (^_^) hehe.......................

Not really in the mood of blogging, but I am in the mood of reading others' blogs, and I found this at Ste's blog, and I must say damn.

FAY~~~~~~~~!

Fay~~~~!
*teary eyed*

Anyway, I'm done enrolling in UP. I paid a total of... *tentenenen!* 306.50 pesos. If I did not have the scholarship, I would have to pay 28,906.50. So, by all means, I have to maintain it.

Help me God. Really.

2008-04-27T18:17:00.002+09:00

My mind's short of common sense.

I started to quit Pantene hair fall control shampoo. It helped in my hair fall, but I kept having pimples. So I decided to use another brand. It annoyed me, because it does not bubble up, and it left my hair really oily and stiff. I've been doing so in a week, until my mom asked me "Are you using the bottle in the CR upstairs?" Which was exactly what I was doing.

"It's conditioner, not shampoo."

Shoot me. If she didn't tell, I will not notice and continue doing so for one more week.

~*~*~*~*~

Anyway, Milk's back. But she's probably pregnant (she seemed like she's going to throw up this morning) and she's half the cute house pet she was. Lots of fleas, too. Life's like that, I guess. You can never control others; you'll have to let go.

I still love Milk, though. I always will. I realize I've become too attached to the cat when she went away and she stopped waking me up (at 6 in the morning). She's my alarm clock who doesn't know the difference between a school year and a summer vacation. But my baby's changed... she'll probably be having her baby soon. She's sort of jaded already... she lost her total trust and innocence. Even her meow's changed. It wasn't like before.

Well, I can't have my baby back as she was once, but the important thing is that I still have my baby.

2008-04-26T16:16:00.002+09:00

My cat left me.

Fine, it's a cat, so it will probably go back sooner or later, but... grr...

My cat grew up. I don't want it to grow up, to roam outside the house (and freaking seduce another cat). It did not go home for one whole day. This morning, while I was sleeping, it arrived, but my lola shooed it away. My aunt said: "If you're pregnant, [Mae] won't welcome you anymore." And it left. (T_T) Sometimes I think that cat can understand us.

I want Milk back.

2008-04-20T16:38:00.002+09:00

I can't log in UP pre-enlistment website.

Somehow, I forgot my username and password. Again. My student number's not working, either.

Grr.

So I'll just watch Fay~~! Fay is so... kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

I love Fay.

Fay is a hyperactive Fuji, and a lot more powerful, too. Goodbye Fuji, Hello Fay!

Incoherent post here.

2008-04-15T13:40:00.002+09:00

It's my cousin's birthday today, and we're going lakwatsa (>_<). Actually, we are in UP shopping center right now for the hidden DVD/book store, but it seems to be closed for lunch break, so grr... so we just went for a computer rental to pass time. And its a big GRR! Because the computer rental does not play youtube videos... it does not have Flash installed. Augh.

I found a new series, Horitsuba Gakuen. It started with watching Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles [Fay is love!], and then being disappointed because I spoiled myself that Fay is going to lose his powers later on. But then, thanks to wiki, I found out that there is an AU show for Tsubasa. I want to watch it!!!

LOVE!!!!!!!!!

2008-04-11T14:29:00.002+09:00

It's vacation again, so the house is back to being a battlefield, with the TV as the goal.

I need help! Because my grandfather and I suddenly had a bout of immaturity, and neither of us are budging or giving way for the TV.

Gargh. I mean, I don't really mind if he watched, but what's angering me is that he'll shoo us away from the TV so he'll watch news, and when I check back he's watching basketball, and still later he'll be having his DVD marathons!

I need salvation.

I also need his salvation.

We both need salvation.

2008-04-03T16:20:00.002+09:00

Goodbye Pisay

I am so happy to be rid of pisay and pisay of me. That sounds so harsh, but really, that is the way I feel. Fine, I'll be going back since I need the request for transcript blah2 for college... but yeah... technically I'm an alumnae. I actually already paid the fee - bummer, I wanted to buy a new book. So, why am I being so angry and stuff?

Because Pisay won. She made me discover failure. I needed a tug down, anyway, since my head is rising way up the clouds again, especially after the oblation scholarship. But she taught me that I should never get too confident when things are going my way. I guess I should thank her for that, but right now, all I'm feeling is disappointment. Because I had every fighting chance I had for high honors during the 2nd quarter and I blew it away. No excuses, I'm admitting it's my fault.

And I find out that I almost made it to the director's list this fourth year fourth quarter. I got a 1.52. If I pushed a little harder at Viscomm, or English, or Filipino, or Math (or STR, but then I'd be killing myself already), then I might have landed at the director's list. Even just that.

Yes, I'm bitter today. I am so happy to rid of pisay right now. Maybe it will sink in sooner or later that I'll miss it, but right now, I am just so happy to never see the STR room again.

2008-02-29T15:56:00.002+09:00

I feel so bad. I ate a lot of sweets a while ago, but nothing seems to lift my mood so high up, like usual. Grr. All STR's fault.

So, I finally confessed to my mom about my 1.66 - 1.56 GWA drop, and all my STR worries/troubles. She wasn't angry, she was actually very considerate. But that doesn
't make me less guilty. Perhaps if I exerted a little more effort, I wouldn't have ruined my chance in getting into the honor's list. And knowing that my Math grade dropped down doesn't help at all, too.

All my classmates (fine, most) went to Trinoma, and almost all are going to Kyle's house later for the overnight. I want to join too, but then, I don't want to push my luck with my mom. She's been too kind. (>_<) And this is my way of punishing myself, sort of. So, yeah... until I'm sure that I AM graduating in PSHS and getting my clearance signed on time despite my STR troubles, I am not going anywhere but school and home.

2008-02-27T11:09:00.002+09:00

So I'm super mega updating. Gaah.

Last post had no sense at all, since it was done during an all nighter. Gargh. I've had enough of writing stuff about it, so I'm skipping.

Yesterday was the start of our periodical exams. We started with Math and Bio, and then we crammed our STR final paper. Fine, actually not. The librarian said that the server was down, so we couldn't access the internet. Which was bad news, since I did not save our final paper at my USB. So, Yssa, Gabby, and I just sat around, talking about bubbles and liquid pressure, viscosity, and liquids that turn solid when exerted pressure at. At least not until the conversation did a really BAD turn, and Yssa and Gabby started talking about stuff. Bad stuff. Green stuff. Stuff you shouldn't talk about with the librarians around. So I covered my innocent ears while Yssa and Gabby talked about ~~condoms~~. Then, when we looked at the computer part of the library, there were already people crammed. The server was freaking up. Talk about time wasted (and innocent eardrums popping).

I was sort of stupid (again), because I logged in and made the final paper at a free-for-all account. We had to leave for the Math Mad minute, a bonus quiz for math. So I was like... "Who has a USB?!?!?! Where the heck is my USB?!?!?! *cursewords*" until Gabby proposes we just leave it at the PC files. That was so unsafe, but yeah, we need the mad minute badly. Other graviton people already started, together with the other sections. The only ones left at the graviton batch was me, Yssa, Gabby, Jamie, Ian, Giselle, Migs, and Olav. Blah2... so we did the mad minute thing. We had to leave right after since there would be a class at the room we used. Just about when we were about to leave, Richard came rushing in, asking for the mad minute quiz. Gah.

So, we crammed our STR final paper and passed two hours late (again). Well, it was better since last year, we were four hours late. I just freaking hope they let it pass and let us freaking graduate. Grr. So, we were two hours late, and Gabby and Ian were betting on what the first words of Sir Tafaleng would be. They passed the papers, while Yssa, Jamie, and me (and Philip - GO GRAVITON!) were chickening out and waiting for them outside the room. Ian and Gabby went out, and Ian's first words were: "Tama yung first words ko. 'Ano yan?'"

LOL. And then we went home, under a drizzle - me, Ian, Kyle, Jay, and Karina. And my ten o' clock dismissal became a 2:30 dismissal.

Today is Chem Eng periodical exams. I'm so N/A about it. I was about to leave early today when I was told that there will be an English practice. So my 10 am dismissal might turn to something afternoon dismissal again.

Gab's typing this: Hi people.kasi wala akong blog so makikitype nalang ako...um...nagperio kami tas nagrabbit dance...woah...ang galing...yun lang...thanks thanks...

2008-02-23T09:48:00.002+09:00

Goal is finally within reach - we CAN finish the magazine! YEAH! After my first ever all nighter... (>_<)!!! GAAH!!!!

This school project is about making a magazine for economics. There are only eight of us in the group, and we went to Angel's house. Our original goal was to finish it at 10 pm, but it soon dawned to us that no, it is not possible to finish a magazine for four hours. So, Bang, Karina, and I just stayed at Angel's place to continue with the mag (contrary to the original plan of staying at Crystle's past 10). And we did an all nighter. I only got sleep for around one hour, Karina at around 30 minutes, Bang around 1, and Angel 2 hours. And our editor in chief slept 8 full hours (T_T) Oh well. When David arrives here, Ellie's proposing we enslave him.

So ja!

2008-02-23T05:10:00.000+09:00

This is my first time ever to do an all nighter. I mean it.

And I don't even feel very sleepy. I didn't even notice time fly by!

So, we're ALL cramming for our econ mag. It's already nine minutes before one am, but yeah, still awake. And still a long time to go. (>_<)

We planned to stay at Crystle's place for the night. We are staying at Angel's place, and we planned to go home by 10 pm, and people who can't go home would stay at Crystle's place. Turns out that at 10 pm, nothing's really done DONE, so... we all extended here. Ellie ended up staying for the night as well. So... yeah. (>_<) Mama doesn't still know about it. (>_<)

But nothing beats Gabby's group. Just this morning, there was a suggestion of an overnight. And voila, an overnight.

Having no computer/internet connection at home really sucks. I am here at an internet cafe (again), in hopes of studying for the hell day tomorrow, but damn, I ended up blogging. And gaming. And surfing. There are actually a lot of things I want to blog about, but really, the magic of blogging lies in the spur of the moment, and it would be of no value if I try to blog about everything. Yep, I'm ranting. This is getting pointless. (>_<)

Prom was last Saturday. I had fun (^_^), and I wanted to stay longer. My dad picked me up, and we arrived home at 1.15. I actually wanted to stay longer, but he has been waiting for me for 7 straight hours, and he still has to drive to his home, so I just had to leave. (T_T) It is enjoyable, even if my hair sucks, and I hate my eyebrows (GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! This will last for weeks!!!!!!!!), and they played live music (I actually didn't notice it until people pointed it out (>_<) ). I love blue marlin. And I love to dance~!

Come Sunday, I spent all my day playing with the Rubix cube [??]. No Physics homework, No Bio long test, no Eng long test in mind. Just me and my brother's Rubix cube. (>___<) So, obviously, I was in a sabog mode today.

I fear for tomorrow as well. It's HELL, with capital H-E-L-L. I think I'm going to panic at Chem practical exam, which will last all morning. I am not even ready for my VisComm edible art. Can I just do this?:

Ma'am: Where's yours?
Me: I already ate it. You were late again (T___T), I thought you weren't going to arrive today.

LOL.

I am not reviewing for my Fil novel exam, either. Though, I'm trying to review for Health in this crammed comshop. Hah. Lucks to me.

2008-02-11T17:57:00.000+09:00

Sense of achievement <~ We finally have a medium!

Yippee yap! Hope for graduation!

2008-02-07T17:53:00.000+09:00

Blech. I was worried about nothing. Seriously. I was worried that Filipino was going to be oh-so-fucking-hard-I-should-have-started-months-before hard, but no, it's I-started-four-days-ago-but-I-can-pass-a-good-paper easy. Oh yeah.

So, long time no update. Since it's long time no update, I'm going to rant.

I never really liked emo. I am actually annoyed when my brother said he is an emo. He retracted it when I told him I don't lend my guitar to emos (>_<). I personally thought emos are very immature people who cannot handle stress and depression, so instead they do cut their wrists, yadda. Bang doesn't like emos too. She has a theory:

Emo was started when guys started became drama kings.

And since they do not want to be un-cool, they invented something "cool".

Way to go, Bang!

2008-01-31T12:59:00.000+09:00

Okay. So I'm trying to update again. I tried updating yesterday, but there was an error, so... GAAAH. Let's see if this thing is going to update (>.<)

2008-01-28T16:00:00.001+09:00

Great - Both my STR groupmates now have lovelifes. I might sound selfish, but really, crushes are the greatest acads distractions. Very much illustrated by my 1.56 - 1.66 GWA drop. My mom is going to kill me when she finds out, so I'm not telling her. I planned to tell it with my Oblation scholarship news, but I got too excited when I arrived home. Goodbye honors. (T_T) I need a 1.45 to be one, and well... Just how the hell am I supposed to get a 1.45 after a 1.66???

Last weekend was taken by CAT camp. It was fun. Paintball and boating the BEST - but our paintball was annoyingly limited to only ten minutes. Anyway, there were LOTS of free time, some of which I spent with Albert reading my palm. He said I will be successful at first, then I won't, then at the end I will still emerge victorious. Just like a U. But I don't want that. If possible, I want a straight victory, like "-" placed on top. (No one ever did that, though.) I'm taking precautions anyway. I do remember saying to myself - "I probably need failure to push me out of my safety coccoon. Then I can fly like a butterfly." Haha.

He also said I will have a one and only true love. No choices at all (>_<). Just fine, I don't think I know how to choose anyway. So, if this holds true, I will now concentrate on my studies - GOODBYE CRUSHES!!!!! If I will indeed get a one true love, then it will stay just right there. And I'll probably meed him way later on. So, concentrate on studies!! Yippee! Albert also said that I will have either twin sons or two sons and a daughter between them. I wish I have twin sons!!! Hikaru and Kauro!!! LOLOLOL! I will dress them up so SAME that even I can't tell them apart (^_^). He said I'll have two main conflicts in life, though: health and family. Family = LOL, but health is not! That's the UGLIEST conflict that one can ever encounter! When I grow up, I've always wanted to travel the whole world: to go to the African safaris, maybe just a peek of the Himalayas, wander around TOKYO!, or swim the ocean! Who knows, maybe even step foot on Antartica! But how am I supposed to do that with failing health?!?!?!?
GAAH!

So, yeah, haha... I don't think I'll be blogging about the camp. (>_<) I'll have to go back to my autoclaving thingies. :P

2008-01-24T10:18:00.000+09:00

This is a sort of emo post again so get out for a while if you don't want to hear my whines. Don't worry I am not an emo; I just got my occasional whining mode again.

So, as I was saying two posts back, I am an Oblation scholarship awardee. Tons of Congratulations came in, and I'm thankful for them, happy that they are happy for me and my family. Congratulations came from my dad's side, too.

"We're so proud of you!"
<~ Oh yeah? If you are, then why are you hiding us, putting aside the fact that we ARE the original ones? So you'll only acknowledge me as the legitimate first born when I do achieve something. I want to see your reactions when I achieve something so GREAT, you would be so sorry you guys had ever chosen them over us!

"Kelan grad niyo?"
<~ You're coming? No, thanks.

"Nagkita na kayo ng dad mo? Natanggap mo na yung choco at lotion mo?"
<~ Uh huh. Last December 2X, 2007 when he brought the chocolates, lotions, and canned goods from my uncle Ed. Those weren't even from him. No chance of any financial support whatsoever, at least not with three damned children with his mistress, one of whom is still an infant. Hah! *laugh*

Yes, I admit, these aren't good reactions to muster when you've just been given a Congratulations. But I really doubt whatever sincerity and acceptance yadda. But these are my main driving forces. No, I am not angry at my uncle Ed. At least he remembers us every holiday. But everyone else... and my dad... and especially the B*TCH... I want to see her drool at my achievements. I want her to be green with envy, that I can study in PSHS and be an Oblation scholar in UP while her own son is too dumb to do so. HAH!

I'll strive to be someone so that they would all be so sorry for leaning towards the b*tch rather than me and my mom.

2008-01-23T13:41:00.000+09:00

(C) Would you be afraid?
- Yup. Duh.

5. You have the following two things: an ipod and a mobile.

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time you get fired. What do you do?

7. If you could go anywhere in the world, Where would you go?

2008-01-19T19:06:00.000+09:00

I am going to UP!!! ECE, Here I come!

I got in the Oblation scholarship award. HAPPY! I got too hyper-ed last Friday. Thankfully I got de-hyperated before it gets out of hand.

2008-01-16T17:39:00.000+09:00

I'll most probably go to UP. I passed in ECE, and frankly, I don't like the course. It was just a joke to begin with - I was thinking how I was going to fare against the supposedly hardest to enter course (along MBB, maybe). And now... I don't know. I'll shift, maybe?

And yeah, I don't think I would be going to Ateneo. The 75% scholarship should be renewed every year, and it has some community service attached to it - sort of. And I'm not the community type of person. So, yeah...

Fourth quarter is whizzing by, too. Soon, we would all have to go to college. And I have to say goodbye to Pisay. But not without reliving some memories!

ATTENTION:
WHO: All madbeings
WHAT: Calachuchi collection

I took some quizzes (at the library~~~), and here are the results.

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.needs to solve.

Get to know yourself better

What's on your mind?

Here is the analysis:

You think money and love are equally important. You have an interest in many things in life, and work hard to ensure that you maintain a healthy balance between work, play and love. However, you tend to be unable to decide on what you really want to do with your life. You wouldn't dream of leaving your loved one for one or two million dollars, but you would have to reconsider if the offer rose to 100 million dollars.

What's on your mind?

Your Working Style

You have a great deal of warmth, but may not show it until you know a person well. You keep your warm side inside, like a fur-lined coat. When you are care, you care deeply, but are more likely to show your feeling by deeds rather than words. You are very faithful to duties and obligations related to things or people you care about.

You take a very personal approach to life, judging everything by your inner ideals and personal values. You stick to your values with passionate conviction, but can be influenced by someone you care deeply about. Although your inner loyalties and ideals govern your lives, you find these hard to talk about. Your deepest feelings are seldom expressed; your inner tenderness is masked by quiet reserve.

In everyday activities you are tolerant, open-mind, flexible, and adaptable. If one of your inner loyalties is threatened, though, you will not give and inch. You usually enjoy the present moment, and do not like to spoil it by rushing to get thing done. You have little wish to impress or dominate. The people you prize the most are those who take the time to understand your values and the goals you are working toward.

You are interested mainly in the realities brought to you by your senses, both inner and outer. You are apt to enjoy fields where taste, discrimination, and a sense of beauty and proportion are important. You have a special love of nature and a sympathy with animals. You often excel in craftsmanship and the work of your hands is usually more eloquent than words.

You are twice as good when working at a job that you believe in, since your feeling adds energy to your efforts. You see the needs of the moment and try to meet them. You want your work to contribute to something that matters to you-- human understanding, happiness, or health. You want to have a purpose beyond your paycheck, no matter how big the check. You are perfectionists whenever you deeply care about something, and are particularly suited for work that requires both devotion and a large measure of adaptability.

The problem for you is that you may feel such a contrast between your inner ideals and your actual accomplishments that you may burden yourself with a sense of inadequacy. This can be true even when you are being as effective as others. You take for granted anything you do well and are the most modest of all the types, tending to underrate and understate yourself.

It is important for you to find practical ways to express your ideals; otherwise you will keep dreaming of the impossible and accomplish very little. If you find no actions to express your ideal, you can become too sensitive and vulnerable, with dwindling confidence in life and in yourself. Actually, you have much to give and need only to find the spot where you are needed.

What is your working style?

The Clothes You Wear

What others see from your style

Although to the untrained eye you may seem like a plain dresser who avoids trends, you actually wear carefully designed accessories and clothes that emphasize your uniqueness. You value your freedom and have an artistic mind. You are neither aggressive nor timid, but you believe in yourself.

What your nightclothes reveal

You're a romantic person at heart. You are imaginative but your temper can sometimes get in the way of your happiness.

What others see from your ties

You enjoy being alone. You like to life the simple but good life, and you cherish your freedom. You are thoughtful, confident and uninterested in glamour.

What others see from your belts

If there's not a single belt in your wardrobe, you like freedom and are opposed to all kinds of rules. You are creative and very good at work that requires you to stretch your imagination. Your main downfall, however, is that you can be very moody.

What others see from your shoes

You're very young at heart. You regard freedom highly and don't like to be controlled by a set of rules. You don't like conflict, will compromise wherever possible, and are hardworking people. Occasionally you can become vulnerable when having to face problems, especially emotional ones.

What others see from your earrings

You are probably a free spirit at heart with artistic talent. You are absolutely unique and are always coming up with lots of great ideas. Being happy is your most important goal.

The last analysis

You are probably a romantic and passionate person. You are sensitive and lonely when you aren't in love. You can be somewhat self-centered, but you are honest and sincere to others. You like to make a good impression of yourself and worry about what others think of you.

The clothes you wear

What is your favorite fruit?

Here is the analysis:

You love a good life. You live extravagantly and like everything around you to be beautifully crafted. You are optimistic, have an excellent sense of humor and enjoy having your friends around you.

What is your favorite fruit?

The Real You

Here is the analysis:

You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.
You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.
You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.
Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?
Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

The real you

What type of personality do you have?

Here is the analysis:

Kind and Gentle

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

[note: WHAT????]

What type of personality do you have?

2008-01-08T16:47:00.000+09:00

Oh, another good news for me: I'm in Ateneo's director's list! That would give me 5000 book allowance every [year?]. Might not look big for others, but it's so good for me, since I don't usually bother buying books. I am now seriously considering going to ateneo. A few months back, I was so sure I will be going to UP. GAH. But we will wait for the UPCAT results, and see how I fare. Then, we can decide.

Oh, director's list in ACET but not in my school. How sad.

Two things are now blocking my way towards Ateneo. I have to switch courses if I will go to Ateneo. At first, it was just a joke on me, so I just applied on Computer Engineering. I so need to shift courses. No offense, but it's not my taste. Second is our ever-loving STR. We're making improvements now, yay! Right now I'm looking for the concentration of stuff our teacher was asking from us months before. Our fault (>_<).

So, yes, we have to finish our STR project so we could go to college.

GL to us, man

2008-01-07T12:46:00.000+09:00

I just came from the retreat and I have a resolution: no more yaoi. I'm serious. It's time I mature and get off my imaginary, sort of sinful world. Yaoi fans, please don't be offended. But for me, it's no more yaoi. No more senru. No more fujitezu.

I'm serious.

And oh, I passed the ateneo exam, and got my 75% scholarship! Now I have two choices - UP or Ateneo. A while back, I was so sure at UP, since I thought the 75% scholarship would not be granted. But yay!

Oh, and Philip's so ANNOYING. He was in the top 2% of the ACET and is a star scholar in La Salle. Grr. [But hey, congrats!]

Anyway, I am now torn with UP or Ateneo. I don't think I'll be trying for schools abroad.

2008-01-03T17:12:00.000+09:00

School's back, damn it.

So, Christmas was like this:
* no-shopping-til-summer law imposed
* no-gift-to-Mae-from-Mama Christmas eve
* sit-in-front-of-the-TV-screen-til-your-butt-aches combined with munch-and-munch-til-you-gather-more-than-healthy-amounts-of-carbs
* no-freaking-internet-access-at-home plus virus-infected-computers and too-slow-for-blog-and-multiply-updating internet cafes

So, yeah, we all looked forward to New Year, which was slightly better : of course, it is Rukawa's birthday!!!

Anyway, yeah, after a long, almost month-long vacation, we're back to school. And we are so lucky, to be on a 1:40 dismissal time on the first day of school. hah. I'm in no mood to type about it now, since I'm in a crowded internet cafe [but pretty fast, nonetheless, so it's perfectly okay right now]. Bottom line is, my grades suck and we're going to retreat tomorrow.

2007-12-11T18:21:00.000+09:00

I was trying to edit some pics, hehe... so, here are some edited pics salvaged from either Kim's or Yssa's multiply.

[edited pic number one]

[edited pic number two]

[edited pic number three]

Yes, I still stuck at editing pics.

2007-12-11T17:31:00.000+09:00

I've got a nice brother, really, even if he is often the object of my explosive mood swing fits. So, I was easing my no-shopping pains [yep, mama already imposed one, so I have something to bawl at this long vacation] by trying on mix-and-matching different clothes. I came across a top that would definitely look good with short shorts. So, conversation went like this:

Me: Uy, maganda ba?
David: Hindi.
Me: Bakit naman?
David: Shorts o Maong?
Me: Shorts.
David: Hmp, pangit.
Me: Hah? Mas maganda kaya kaysa sa maong. Teka, try ko.

*went up to try on with maong pants*

Me: Hindi, oh, mas maganda yung short shorts.
David: Hindi nga pwede, mababastos ka.

Aww. Sweet protective little bro.

2007-12-07T17:05:00.000+09:00

I was finally able to access net properly again! GAAH! [And no more emo posts. I get teased for emo posts.]

I'm so not in the mood to blog now. I'm still annoyed that we won't be able to go shopping for christmas. Boo. Anyway, the shopkeepers in this shop was fighting. LOL. Funny. Complete post here. [But it's in Filipino. BAH, as if there are other people are actually reading my blog]

So, there. Ha-ha. Lazy mode. I'll be changing my blogskin later... so ... bbye :D

2007-12-01T17:28:00.000+09:00

I'm at an internet cafe (again), and I was about to upload some pictures from my beloved phone, but there wasn't any program for it... so... nevermind... I'll have it burned to the CD someday... >_<

I'm afraid of our teacher. People say she's already masungit, and it's probably our fault. BAAH! [And sir Taffy making comments does not help at all.]

Our periodical exams are next week, and I haven't studied yet! Man! And I haven't bought my exchange gift.

I'm still upset with my mom because she cancelled our shopping. Damn, man... I was so looking forward to that. But then, there are stuff to be bought for the house construction [again]. That house better be beautiful, magnificent, extraordinarily cozy, relaxing, and yadda, cause it sure is sucking a lot from our christmas. But at least next Christmas, we'll be spending in a new house.

Somebody want to give me money for shopping???

2007-11-27T14:18:00.000+09:00

Our adviser got depressed with us last week. Almost half of the class was sleeping while she was discussing our Calculus lesson. She got aggravated, one Math teacher said, and she became sicker than she already is. Because of that, she has been absent since yesterday. [There was a weekend, so she was probably sick for around four days already]

Yssa said it's her first time. Well, actually, it's not mine, since second year days did. But still... I like Ma'am Dinah. Hope she gets well.

//will edit later. Kyle came and said that we have Health class.

2007-11-25T13:56:00.000+09:00

Yssa and Gabby ala Naruto

Hell week is approaching - next week! And damn, I did not do much. I spent most of my weekend yiddy-yaddaing out of the house. Yesterday, Saturday, my mom sent me and my cousin, Joy, to pay phone and electric bills and do the grocery. That means the mall. And I can never go straight to my business when I'm in a mall. So, yeah, there goes my Saturday. And Sunday (today), well, the house was so busy because of the construction, and I was giving myself some petty excuses so I won't study.

BAH.

Grad pic taking was done. LOL. Pics scattered in this post is courtesy of Yssa.

Me in my creative pose

2007-11-21T17:50:00.000+09:00

Find your Celestial Choir

Take the What Type of Friend Are You? quiz.

If you know me, you know that that ^^^^ above is not true. I'm probably just in a pissed off (or something, coz I don't feel pissed off) mood.

2007-11-21T12:15:00.000+09:00

I started looking for stuff around the mall yesterday, and after a while, I heard and felt my tummy rumble. I let my mind drift away so I won't feel the hunger pangs, but someone eating a juicy McDo burger passed by. Its aroma reached my nose and somehow ended up in my supposed-to-be locked up mind. GAAH! [And Gabby was eating a burger beside me a while ago!]

Anyway, the mall was oozing with Christmas spirit already. They were playing christmas songs, and Christmas decors were there wherever I looked. I don't like Christmas to come yet, for some weird reason I can't pinpoint accurately. But I am sure I don't want to. Yesterday, actually, Jamie set up a mini-excange gift for us.

Baah. Christmas is all around and I'm trying to kick it away. One of these days, I'll be kicking myself.

CHRISTMAS WISHLIST:

Book
Drawing materials
Bag
TOP!!!

2007-11-20T15:22:00.000+09:00

I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted. And in times like these, my reflex is to laugh. So, yeah, I acted like one crazy ass. Oh... STR, I <3 U.

In the height of my mental and emotional confusion, I passed by Sir Martin teaching his Asian History class of second years (read: lower years), and wow, did I reminisce. I remember the first year days where we get numerous long breaks without any pay off of very exhausting work. We are still busy for ordinary 1st years, but hey, we've got time to idle around empty classrooms and watch yellow petals from the narra tree fall during January, which made up an autumn-like feel in the campus. We also got time to play piko, or stop by at Ate Tin and play scrabble (where I always win!) and chess (where I always lose!). Hey, we even got time to be given a few solo minutes at Y!Speak - all of Topaz did. I remembered our failed Art project, wherein the human frame from wire that we did looked nothing close to being human. I remembered playing patintero in the heat of the afternoon sun, where, well, I was no good - I always got taya-ed. I remember days of pin soccer at the girl's dorm annex.

I remembered Sir Martz, too, and our Asian history class when we were in 2nd year. I admit the first thing that came into my mind was the WOTE incident. Boy, was it silent! But then, time heals everything, and I looked at it without any ill feelings whatsoever. I remembered the times when Sir Martz would speak about Asian History - The secret meaning of the burning torch in China's emperor's castle; what gohan meant; Alexander the Great's secrets, which I willingly shared with my cousin who couldn't believe me, and asked her own teacher about it, who scolded her; and, well, WOTE moments with adelfa, where we did the cards in a McDo restaurant while eating fries so we don't get kicked out; cramming in the front lobby Sunday before submission, and... loads of memories, to cut it short.

To be frank, not much lot of third year memories. Third year was fast, too, I guess, as we get a glimpse of what kind of hell STR is. But then, I can remember our long walk from Benjo's house to the MRT station, our vanity in taking pics while on the way. I remember the MRT ride itself, where all people were staring at us while we were chatting noisily (the only noises were from us!). I remember my Kikay, my dear role of Kikay, where I shamelessly acted what I was supposed to act.

Fourth year memories? Still too early to start reminiscing, but I get the feel that when I grow older, my strongest memory of fourth year would be freaking STR. STR and all the STRess it brings, all the shit it gets out of me, how it pulled all my other grades down. I wish not, seeing how nice my lower-year memories were. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic right now, because maybe when I get to see the lighter mode of things, I can remember the trip to UPLB, the nice scenes, the trek (where mama was freaking out :P). But I'm in no mood to remember all those stuff this time.

GAH.

I love STR.

I still do.

2007-11-12T16:53:00.000+09:00

Still no landline, still no cellphone, still no internet, still no computer, still disconnected to the rest of the world. It's stiffling. GAH.

Yssa and I are DONE with swimming! Oh yeah! We swam fifty laps in one meeting. I was tired but I wasn't as starving as I expected myself to be. Ehehehe.

Anyway, I was coming off a stupidly - free weekend. Ha-ha! Two whole days were wasted with shopping and going around the malls. My stipends are almost gone [and allowance for this week! haha!] so I have to tighten my belt again, and proceed with my beloved saving method of bringing only exact fare. BLEH.

This doesn't mean I hate shopping. I think I got rubbed with my mom's shopaholic tendencies. But at least I do not have money I can spend. I think if someone would actually give me ten thousand, I'll spend it all in clothes, shoes, and bags. I've gone so much worse from summer. Not like I can actually do that, coz my mom's wearing a tight belt because of our house construction, while I myself don't have money. Five hundred stipends a month is sure not enough.

I dragged my cousin with me to search stuff for my grad pic informal pose. YAY! I have my costume now. I think I won't post here how it looks like, coz it will spoil stuff, and I have enough similar costume-rs already, but I will post a picture of it here... sooner or later :P

YAY! Thursday... come thursday..

P.S.: I don't really give much damn to the STR thing now. HAHA

2007-11-07T11:56:00.000+09:00

I guess I should be studying or doing our [ehem] Physics ppt [ehem] [gah. irresponsible me] but I just can't let this one pass.
So, I was going over the draft of our STR proposal. At the introduction, there were 2-3 lines skipped from one heading to another because at the previous draft, the next heading was in the next page. Sir wrote, in all caps: WHY IS THERE A BIG SPACE HERE?

The RRL was way funnier. We wrote 'acclimatization'. Sir said: 'acclimation [my mistake]' And then there was "This will be explained later." Sir encircled the whole sentence and put cross marks over it. He wrote: "DO NOT EVER SAY THIS IN YOUR PAPER"
Also, we wrote "It [MS medium] was invented by..." Sir encircled it and crossed it and replaced it to "developed". Then, there was "phosphorus is essential needed for..." Sir encircled it and wrote "HA?" with a note above: "May I request that you proofread your paper twice."
There was a part of our RRL discussing how to make an MS medium. So, while at the middle of it, we wrote "The made MS medium..." which sir encircled and placed "WHAAAT?"

This is the funniest, at least to me. We are required to use "Teepol detergent". The word processor auto-corrected it to "Teapot". So, sir wrote: "teepol, not teapot. My god!"

LOL

Okay, will now get to work

2007-11-06T16:29:00.000+09:00

For the sake of my previously decent post, I'll be making a proper post. [All previous posts are useless rants, if you noticed (>_<)]

I spent my pseudo-sem break reading books. Hehe... Got three books from the library right before it started. I read Sherlock Holmes novels, but I got bored after two cases, so I stopped. It was too think for my taste, anyway. I guess I will never be mature enough to go appreciating classics and yadda, coz' the books I enjoyed were for kids : HOOT and 21 Balloons. LOL. That does not mean I'm going to read chick lit - NEVER! Ever since I started making fanfics (almost always romance at that), I saw ALL love stories CLICHE. Yep, until now, I do.

Anyway, yesterday, I'm as useless as an ass. Good thing the Physics long test got moved today, but FUCK I'M GOING TO FAIL! It was no good, too... I am going to fail. I sat like a fool thinking how on Earth I'm going to pass that long test. There weren't any conceptual parts. BAH! So much for regaining the 1.50 in Physics.

Last night, too, I flicked the TV on, hoping to get a random replay of my Tenorio playing <3. [He isn't married yet, back off!] Instead, I get an NBA game - Cavaliers versus Suns. I watched for a while, but I got bored, too. Maybe because I don't have a team playing [not like I do have an NBA team], but I guess its because they play with force and not a little grace, or something. Fine, these are guy basketball players and they're supposed to be strong and not graceful but, you know the satisfaction you get from watching graceful people do what they're supposed to do? AAGH! Whatever.

So, there. Go PBA!

2007-11-05T13:41:00.000+09:00

At the library again.

It turned out as I expected it: I am so not ready for school today, or this week, or anytime else with these requirements. In fact, I am in such a hang-over I want to kill anyone who dictates any requirements on me. (>_<)

At the library doing stuff. Again. Reading manga, but the librarian has hot eyes on me already. Must pause for a while.

2007-11-03T18:19:00.000+09:00

I am going to die. If anything, this no-internet plus no-computer at home is killing me. GAH. I'm not excited at going to school, either. I'm totally in a lazy mode.

I noticed my posts are losing their touch. They're all RANTS. Sorry, dearests...

P.S.: Oist, Yssa... yung pics (T_T).

2007-10-31T11:09:00.001+09:00

ComSci and STR stressed out. GAH! So... yeah... the day is supposed to be a swoosh, but it isn't. GAH. My mom is so gonna kill me this Monday. We haven't settled it with Dr. Militante yet, and she's supposed to get the explant this Monday! DAMN!

2007-10-30T11:34:00.000+09:00

You know you've had enough of the library's free internet access when you log-in to a computer after a weekend, and see that the last person who logged in it (from last week) was you.
Olav said it wasn't him who told whomever. Who told him, then?????.
Anyway, we have classes today (sweet idleness is not in our side anymore, but we do get free periods). While I was on my way to school, the tricycle driver told me: "Wala namang pasok ngayon, ah?" [with weird tone] BAH.

Yep, wasting precious time when I could have been doing our beloved Math problem set.

2007-10-27T16:53:00.000+09:00

GAHHH! Buking na ako - I know. I shall never trust Olav again.

Doing the Bio lab rep in an internet cafe. So sucks. The computer at home looks like it has a virus or something... bah. I now declare it useless. MY FILES~!

Oh, yeah... we don't have a phone, I don't have internet connection... well, frankly, the only way to contact me these days is through cellphone! I can't believe it! For the last three to four years, I've been telling my classmates not to text me when I'm at home since I cannot receive them anyway. Now it's my only means of communication at home. BAH. The house we rented has little signal at the second floor. Menial signal, but I can receive messages. BAH.

Life sucks.

//edit: I went home with Sir Taffy yesterday!

2007-10-26T15:25:00.001+09:00

We only had four subjects for the whole day. Like shit, man. But if this is the only way I should earn any money through allowance, then so be it. (>_<)

2007-10-26T11:10:00.000+09:00

These days are just so IDLE. The teachers don't want to have a class, either, so we always end up in breaks. BAH.

These days are just so worthless. (>_<) At least we have more time to do our beloved STR project.

2007-10-25T10:47:00.000+09:00

This is the most useless day ever. And somehow, I have a feeling that next week will be the same.

For the whole day, I will have only 4 subjects: Chem, which was a while ago, wherein we discussed something which could otherwise be read at the book. We were dismissed really early, too.
Next was English, which was virtually a free period. We were given tasks to do, which we could not do for the moment since we haven't read the selection yet.
Next will be Viscomm, which will be all blah blah.
Last will be Bio, wherein we will have a lab. This is the major concern for today. It kind of sucks, too.

BAH. IDLENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-10-23T12:01:00.000+09:00

These days, lunch means library, which means internet, which means blogging. LOL.

I'm making our ComSci website. Here. I really wish I have internet at home. I can't go to some restricted sites. GAH.

Yep, random post

/edit: It's raining [again], I don't have an umbrella [again], which means I'm stranded at school [again].

BAH [again]

2007-10-22T13:24:00.000+09:00

I'm so thankful for the internet access at the library.

INTERNET!

Oh, yeah, the owner of the house where we are temporarily staying at is fond of roses. She left her roses to our care. So we have a peach rose, a white rose, and a budding red rose. So cool. I wish the red rose would already bloom <3

We had a game at homeroom a while ago. There is a paper at your back and people get to write stuff about you there. LOL. Someone said (Yssa) that I had to contain my emotions, else I'll grow old fast. Someone else said that I was tampuhin.

Haha. Guilty.

2007-10-20T19:57:00.001+09:00

I won't be having internet access at home next week :( No internet would so be the death of me.

Luckily, there's always the library~ <3

Most of the stuff have already been transferred. This room I'm sitting in is actually empty. Every click on the keypad generates an echo. BAH. My room is already barren, too, except for the bed. LOL. I'll probably be the last one to move out.

2007-10-19T19:37:00.000+09:00

We had our outreach today at PCMC, a hospital walking distance away. At first I thought it sucks. Big time. I mean, last year at high school and we go to an outreach for a fieldtrip? And last year, too, we didn't go anywhere [all for the oh-so-expensive Shang prom]. It sucks. But then, I had to change my mind. I actually wish we were given more time to interact with the patients.

People brought a lot of stuff. Lots of food, too, that it was so tempting. [APPLES!] So, anyway, after assembling and forming two straight lines, one for girls and one for guys, we walked from school to PCMC. There were three students per room. I went with Kim and Yela. There were four kids in our room: Johnbert (9), Sandara (3), Rogine (3), and Harvey (5). I had to admit I was so nervous. I never liked kids, so I don't know how to deal with them.

I first talked with Sandara, if you call that talking. She was in so much pain, I wanted to hug her. But she was afraid of people other than her father. All I can do was stroke her soothingly... I wish that did soothe her. She was admitted three days ago because of typhoid fever. Since I don't really know how else to talk to them (her and her dad, who was also very tired), I talked to other kids. They all looked fine. I talked with Harvey the next (with Kim). He's actually already fine, and is supposed to be released today! YEY! But even though he is already fine, he still wasn't speaking a lot. Maybe he's still shy or something. But he did enjoy the toy we brought with us.We talked to Johnbert next. He's the most okay to talk to, probably because he's already old. He likes drawing over reading! I wish I just bought coloring materials instead of marbles. Then I had something to give him. We talked to Rogine last. He was the shy type, too. GAH. But at least he listens.

When the doctor came in and checked Sandara, she cried. I felt my tears threatening to fall. Seriously. I really wish Sandara would be fine.

Then, we had to leave. Time flew by so fast. Before we left, Sandara was up and playing. But she still won't talk to us. Well, at least she's got entertainment now.

BAH.

And I'm at the library, again. (>_<) [this was edited at home :P]

2007-10-17T20:12:00.000+09:00

Mime dance is done, at last. I can't say we did a good job. I guess we did an 'okay' job, but the Sayaw interpretasyon was still better. I am in no mood to make a detailed description of the whole day [in a bad mood (@__@)], but yeah, the whole day was pretty much lazy and idle.

I'm weird, if not two-faced. When I am in a good mood at school, I usually end up in a bad mood at home. When I am in loner mode at school, I usually end up in a good mood at home. I don't know why. It makes me sort of guilty, too, having two contrasting moods in two places... And that so applies to me today. I mean it.

I am so prone to extreme mood swings, like sir +@%%!. Ugh.

2007-10-13T21:17:00.000+09:00

We're not yet moving; we'll probably do so next week. (>_<) Anyway, yeah, I woke up early and helped with the NCE. I just took the morning session, though. It's a complete work-out. I mean it. Anyway, yeah... a lot of funny things here. There were two problematic rooms - rooms 9 and 10. They kept on changing the venue. [poor kids] So, Ian and I just took a few children with us upstairs. When we were going down, we met one of the facilitators who were leading a line of room-10 kids to their new venue. Ian talked with him to know the whereabouts. However, the kids proceeded to follow the two of us. LOL.

Ian: Ang lakas ng magnet natin!

LOL. Ian talked to some of the kids, too.
Ian: Mani-in ninyo yung exam. Magdala kayo ng mani ta's kumain kayo doon.
(T_T)

Anyway, yeah, I left after the morning session to help with the cleaning of the house we will rent. Turned out I'm of no help, though. I just kept on laughing at random things. Well, at least I kept the cleaners entertained.
San Miguel changed their name to Magnolia! I just can't believe it... NO WAY MAN!!! "Go Magnolia! fight fight FIGHT!" just doesn't sound right. Anyway, yes, I was whining about this after I arrived from NCE. Conversation went like this:
Joy: Okey lang yun, parehong team pa rin naman. Nandon pa naman yung mga players at coaches eh.
Mae: Hindi. Ang pangit. Iba pa rin kapag San Miguel. Hindi ako makapapayag!
Joy: Pupunta nga ako mamaya sa PBA forum. Tignan ko kung anong reaction ng mga San Miguel fans. Tingin ko hati yon. Syempre, merong ayaw, merong okey lang, parang ako.
Mae: Hindi. Lahat sila ayaw.
Joy: Aba, hindi ba ako San Miguel fan?
Mae: Hindi. Electric fan ka!!! [laughed like she sniffed marijuana]

Yep. Random things.

My "work-out" this morning was of no use, since I spent the whole after noon sleeping after a heavy meal. We played basketball, but I ate a heavy dinner too, so... (T_T)

The whole day, we were moving some stuff we could move [not commonly used stuff] from the house to the one we would rent. It's very near, since we do not have any plans to change address for just 1 1/2 - 2 months of staying out of the house. Since it is very near, and is almost set-up and just waiting for occupants, we now regarded it like a second-home-slash-tambayan. People keep on moving to and fro the two houses.

And right now I'm left by myself to our house. Everyone else is either drinking beer or making tambay [LOL] at the second house.

2007-10-12T21:30:00.000+09:00

(>_<)

There was a practice today. It was set 8 am. I woke up late, so I arrived there around 9:30. We waited for around 1 1/2 more hours before the shop got opened. Frankly, the practice was practically useless. [yep, pun intended] Since our part wasn't doing anything good, I figured we could do our Econ. But apparently, Yssa forgot the ad at the dorm, so we have to choose a new one. (>_<) I went home and got magazines. And then it rained. Hard. Luckily I brought my umbrella with me. When I arrived, practice was over (T_T).

I can't return home. My mom will get angry. She even accused me of dating and not going to practice. (Hah! I can only dream on!) Plus the class was planning to go to Trinoma. So... we did (^_^).

We used David's van as transpo. There were 15 of us who were going, so we obviously can't fit there. Olav and Richard were left. There were two people at the front [the driver and David], seven at the middle [Kyla, Jean, Bang, me, Yssa, Giselle, Jamie], and five at the back [Angel, Kyle, Ian, Gabby, Jay]. We witnessed 'inertia' in motion - everytime the vehicle curved, the person on that side will be so squished. Big effect on us girls. There were humps, too. (>_<)

We were supposed to go sing at the Red Box, but it was close. So we just dispersed [ugh. can't think of a proper verb] and just planned on meeting in front of Timezone by 3, so that Olav and Richard could catch up with us. We proceeded to watch Resident Evil 3.

This was the first time in, what, two to three years? that I watched at a moviehouse. I suck. So, anyway... yeah. It was so COLD. And Ian is funny, too. (>_<) He covers his eyes but he keeps on peeking anyway. LOL. No movie reviews here. I suck at that, since I don't watch movies a lot.

I had to go home early, though. There was a free Click5 concert at Trinoma. I wanted to watch, but I have to go home before it gets dark. So I left early [again. I sure am building up my Cinderella reputation]. I went to NBS first, though, to check on Les Miserables. Then, I went to line up. Funny, I even saw Gabby and Kyla at the line. (>_<)

I did not arrive before it got dark. It was so traffic at Trinoma I wanted to curse. Yeah, whatever.

Fun day, though. I hope next time we do this, everyone comes (^_^).

Tomorrow will be the NCE. I'll be one of the usherettes, too.

2007-10-10T13:20:00.000+09:00

Long time no blog. And I mean long time no blog. It is long time, at least for my own standards.

Yesterday, I found out I failed the econ exam. I suck. I failed a Physics long test, too, but at least the exam was high [only four mistakes!]. So... I was so determined to do good on the last Econ long test and a part two of the said Physics Long test. But things went against my way. There was a problem regarding the electricity bill [we paid late] that our electricity got cut! It was so annoying studying with the candle light. But I guess it paid off. I understood the Econ long test, frankly. It is only a matter of carelessness. I finished the Physics part two, too... but after spending more than half of my lunchbreak at it. Right now, I'm at the library [walked out on Viscomm... AGAIN... I wish I did not go to Viscomm... seriously... I wish I went to Filjourn or something].

God is performing his divine intervention on me. Last last night, I did nothing but play a role-playing game [its concept is like Ragnarok, but it is a lot more raw... plus it doesn't need internet connection]. I guess I was so overconfident that I am so gonna get a high grade even without studying since I found out that my Math grade is 1.75. Then, day after that [yesterday], I got two failing exams. God knows how much I thrive on negative emotions to perform better. He cut off our electricity, too, so I cannot play. That way, I was forced to study, and then go to sleep early, since there weren't any distractions.

God is so great.

2007-10-05T14:10:00.000+09:00

Periodical exams are finally over. So is the STR powerpoint presentation and the Health animation (which David took care of). David actually burst in a rage when it was declared that Health was moved. (>_<) But even if [almost] all are over and done, I still have a lot of things to do.

I have to look for a webhost. Well, I actually already found one, but I'm not sure if our client will actually like it. It's here: http://intrados.100webspace.net. WebDev people could probably try it too, but it expires in one year. Clients can renew their accounts for free, but it might be a hassle for them. There's an ad at the top, too. But otherwise it is very much okay. No frills, no money... very easy to use, too.

I still have to clean up and pack up my room. We're supposed to move out next week, so this is my last weekend with my beloved room. I want to lock up myself in my room for the rest of the weekend, but of course I can't do that. But in any case, I'll be spending a lot of hours inside my room for packing purposes.

And we're supposed to go shopping tomorrow or Sunday, too. I am not sure if it will push through, but I wish we would. I don't care if I have a ton of things to do. (>_<) I actually wish I am working right now so I can already go shopping whenever I want to. So I can take off my daily expenses from my mom, too. That would be totally cool. I want to be a working student, too, but my mom will never allow that (T_T).

Anyway, yeah. I'm ranting because I want my monthly stipends. Now. And only now did I realize that I won't have the pleasure of having a monthly stipend when I go to college (x_X). I'll have to depend on my mom (and my mom alone). That sucks.

I'm supposed to be studying, but I remembered I forgot my Physics notebook at school. So now I don't know where to start studying. Might as well not study at all (^_~). I finished Once and Future King, too (twice at that, since I read the book again when I made the notecard). But somehow I find it more interesting to read Once adn Future King stuff than study for Physics.

Periodical exams were okay, except for the Filipino exam. It was all about lit and stuff, things she did not really teach. All she did was babble on them. In such a way, the exam had a comic relief on it. Lendl could hardly answer the exam, and was simply laughing at it for the first ten minutes. He was even folding it to a paper airplane (^_^). I admit I was just laughing the first few minutes too. I was shocked at the exam, I guess, and sort of traumatised at my earlier 12/30 exam in the same subject. So I just laughed at Lendl. And the ~~bitch~~ female dog just had to enter the room smiling like the ~~bitch~~ ~~asshole~~ loveable teacher that she is. I wanted to throw my plump pencil case, my hard calculator and both my heeled shoes at her. But being angry at her would just make me look older. Since I don't have any intentions of developing wrinkles just because of her, I just laughed at her for the rest of the exam, reflecting on her stupidity to be bitten by a rat. (And the 'front' incident Ian was laughing so hard about). I probably looked like an idiot, muffling giggles in the middle of a very hard exam.

Econ and Chem were on the same day and were relatively okay. Well, sort of. But, as usual, I was driven in a frenzied mode at the end of the Econ exam because I realized how to do it in the last minute. Very familiar scene from last quarter.

Oh, yeah, the room was very cold, too. I always bring my jacket. I have to, else I'll end up freezing to death. Somehow, I lost my resistance to cold.

~~I had to remind myself a thousand times that people feel it when you stare at them. Luckily, today, I had no time to stare. I hate being caught.~~

Perio for today were math and bio. Math and Bio were easy. Today, we filmed our Health project. Jamie and I killed Robin!!! He had a spinal cord injury at the film, which resulted to his 'death'. We had extras today, too: Gab and Gabby.

I have to buy myself a pointed gel pen. I spent my last one on the notecard on Once and Future King notecard. Hmm... Maybe I'll buy them tomorrow.

2007-10-02T16:41:00.001+09:00

BAH. I update more at the library than I do at home these days.

Tomorrow is the start of our final exams. So that means I won't be blogging at all. Unless, of course, I get a place at the library for updating.

2007-10-01T20:08:00.000+09:00

I loathe STR.

Went to UP Shopping Center with Gabby a while ago. When we had our research pass signed by our adviser, she told us parang mali naman ata tong ginagawa ninyo. Wrong?! The only wrong thing I see here is the overloading of a 1-unit STR. (T_T)

We almost got stranded because it was raining so hard. So, yeah, bought [almost] everything we need today. Went to school, finished stuff.. blah blah.

STR is taking off too much of my time. Because of STR, my already depleted social life went kaput. I know I'm [sort of] an antisocial, but humans are naturally social beings. We can never survive without talking or socializing to other people. But this past few days/weeks, that is exactly what happened to me. And I just want to diffuse to the air. I hardly eat lunch with Philip, Jay and/or Marianne anymore. When I go home, I still worry about it, plus the other requirements.

I just want to cry.

I loathe STR.

I really do.

2007-09-30T16:33:00.000+09:00

I'm doing STR. I haven't even studied for periodical exams, but I guess that's okay. I'll probably have to cram. I'm so glad because the RRL (or at least micropropagation part of RRL since I haven't seen Yssa's part yet) is so much better than last quarter's.

2007-09-28T15:24:00.000+09:00

Okay. I'm back at the library. LOL. Blogging.

Anyway... we just had the Philippine History - Literature types test. Our teacher was smiling like a female dog. So, instead of getting annoyed, I proceeded to just make fun out of her. LOL. This is a nonsense post, since I am not in the mood to post an entry at all. Hmm....

I hate STR. But at least we're making progress. I hate Physics. But at least I made a lunch time out of it. I hate Econ. I really do. I made a fool out of myself again. I hate MAth. Everybody does.

I cannot gather my wits at all. I can't concentrate... I'm so distracted at all the things I need to do. GAUHGHGHASDFAKD

And we're supposed to go shopping tomorrow. I think I'll pass :(

2007-09-28T13:42:00.001+09:00

This week is a bitch. One entry in one week when I've been putting multiple entries a day last week.

This is Hell Week, Philippine Science style. There were so many requirements I wanted to diffuse to the air. I've been going home very late, too. Geez... my grandmother even thought I was going to the mall with friends or something. If only she knew how kaput my social life is now.

Monday, Gabby and I cleaned the room we will use as lab. The corridor we passed by was very dark, and empty, and it was raining really hard.

Gabby: *nagtatago*
Angelica:Nakikita kita.
Gabby:
Angelica, sino yang naglalakad sa likod mo?

And we both ended up running after each othe. (T__T)

Tuesday was hell, too. I did not go home late, but I had to pick up our comsci. This is a bitchy day, too. We received a very negative remark about our STR presentation. We were very sour about it. In the cafeteria, we were still sulking and someone had to arrive and say : Alam niyo ba, sabi ni Sir Tafaleng, isa lang ang nakita niyang magandang presentation ngayon. Tapos sabi niya para raw pinagpractican... blah... (*T_T*)

Wednesday is shit, too, although frankly I can't think of an even that will prove why. But I know this day is shit.

Thursday. yesterday. It was crap, too. We crammed our presentation, but I guess it is very much better (wrong grammar! But I am emphasizing it!) than the last one.

Today... hmm... I'm updating at the library... LOL.

2007-09-27T11:56:00.000+09:00

Been very busy.

I'm updating from the library. I don't know if that is legal, but anyway...

I still have to cram. augh

2007-09-23T11:22:00.001+09:00

Posting for the sake of posting. Well, not quite.

Came from mass, blahblah. I actually came to mass voluntarily (cheer!). I don't usually go to mass. I hate burning my butt for more than one hour when I could be doing the requirements. But, well, I need divine intervention. badly. I know my grades are going down, but I am praying to God that it won't slip that bad. Just... a 1.59 or something... but please, not a 1.6 +. My mom is going to kill me.

I still need to study, but I still have to do the presentation at STR. Someone's not replying. (>_<) Whoever you are, REPLY!

2007-09-22T15:40:00.000+09:00

I got tired of my old lay out [again] even though I just changed that less than two months ago. So, I now present my new lay out. YAY! No, I wasn't the one who made this. I'm too tired to bother.

Next week is hell week. Wish me luck!

A lot of [weird] things happened today. This would be pretty long. It is an interestingly humiliating day.

First off was the FX. I got lazy this morning, so I got out of house very late, around 6:45. And, as usual, it was so hard to get a ride in all kinds of transportation available (jeep, tricycle). Luckily I spotted an FX. I was actually very reluctant to ride an FX, especially after what happened last Wednesday, where I made a fool out of myself and stuff. Yesterday, I actually saw an FX, but was afraid to ride it. But I don't have much choice today. There's no way I can arrive at school on time if I don't ride an FX. So, yeah, I rode it. It did not dawn on me at first, but little by little, I realized that this is the same FX I rode last Wednesday! I was like, oh shit. So that was why the driver had a weird expression on his face when I rode. Augh. So, he still passed through North Avenue. I was dropped off in front of the school (yipee! no need for pedicabs).

Our first subject is research, which involves calling different people. For local contacts, we use the school's phone, but for NDD calls, we have to use the payphone. There are two functioning payphones at school. Both are functional, but having problems. The first one was eating the coins. We'd drop three coins and it will say we only dropped two coins. We lost a total of coins. But there was a funny time, when we dropped a one peso coin and it released a five peso coin. The second one does not want to accept the coins, but this was the one that we used. There was one call when we got cut off because it won't accept our coins. Physics long test, Econ quickie, remedials, blah... and then... CAT!

Here goes a lot of humiliating stories.

So, after I dressed up for CAT, I saw Giselle, Jay, Philip, and Jamie by the payphone. Giselle was talking. "Eh hindi ako makakapunta diyan. Nandito ako sa front lob..." so I asked who she was talking to. She went saying: "Oh, eto, kausapin mo si Angelica". The last thing I want is to talk in a payphone to someone I don't know, so I backed off and said no. Then, David [B] arrived. Giselle asked him to talk to the phone, with which David played along. Only then did I realize that they were just playing with the phone. Grr. I'm gullible.

This is the last CAT we are going to have with our present officers. They were giving us commands a while ago. One of our regular practices was closing our eyes while doing facings: Harap sa kanan - rap. Harap sa kaliwa, rap. We did that a while ago. Apparently, I got lost with the facings. And then, our officer commanded us to march forward. I was facing 90 degrees from what my platoon mates were facing. So, when we were asked to march, I was going away from my platoon and going somewhere to the middle of the field. That was so freaking humiliating! During the flag retreat, too, one of our leaders gave a command. I wasn't looking at him, I was looking at somewhere else, but I was doing the command. Then, suddenly, everyone started snickering. I looked and saw what that was about. I had to suppress my laughter (>_<).

So, CAT ended. I did not go home just yet. I talked a while with Gab and Robin. Then, I went home.

The first jeepney I rode had an overpricing bastard for a driver. So I was pretty hotheaded. But when the guy sitting beside me was leaving, I had to laugh. He looks like Steven! (batchmate, Lithium08). Nothing really out of the ordinary, but he was wearing a Pacquiao - McDo cap. I just had to smile at that. When I arrived at the mall, I crossed a gate for parked vehicles. There were motorcycles going out. I had to suppress giggles at this one, too, because one of the motorcycle riders bumped to the sign. Apparently, his helmet's glass is too dark.

So, yeah, that's the story of my day. I'm in a good mood. I always get into a good mood, especially after an amusingly stupid day.

2007-09-20T19:38:00.000+09:00

I am so great. I am fabulous, wonderful, brilliant, magnificent, talented, clever, and very, very street-smart. I am so, so, so, great. And God loves me.

The day passed by uneventful. Nothing really happened, except during English, where we did not make our task and we got lucky that we weren't called. Day passed by, yadda... until dismissal. This is like the crappy part, where we [STR groupmates] got in a heated argument [Sorry, gabby]. Fortunately, sir extended the deadlines. Yssa and I were supposed to meet our client in ComSci (we're making a website for a company). Unfortunately, Yssa cannot get a gatepass. I had to go alone. I texted my lola so she could get me from school and both of us can go to where Yssa and I were supposed to go. Unfortunately, she was out of the house. Well, I did not really know, I found out after I arrived home, but she wasn't texting back. It was only 15 minutes before our meeting, so I decided to go on. Bahala na.

In my greatness, my unbelievable yet undeniable prowess, and God's great love for me, I was able to reach the place where we were supposed to meet. Got a lot of information, too. [Well, duh, of course, that was the purpose of our meeting] Got free snacks, too. In my great pleasure with myself, I bought myself a 20-peso notebook. Yes, I'm that tight-handed with money, I can't even afford to let go of twenty pesos for a mere notebook or 60 pesos for a new sketchbook if I am not pleased with myself. Right now, I just bought myself a 20-peso notebook. I'm giving myself a 60-peso sketchpad if we can start our STR project this week (>_<)

2007-09-19T19:53:00.000+09:00

Got wet in the rain. LOL. Gab saw me a while ago. It's humiliating, sort of, to be seen getting wet without an umbrella under the rain. I mean, rain is fun, but well, getting wet when you are just going to school is not. I rode an FX, so in case it rained [which happened], I wouldn't get that wet. Apparently, it's the opposite, since the FX passed through North ave. So I got really wet.

During lunch, I was playing with my cellphone's Bluetooth. I was looking who were using their bluetooth. I accidentally sent a song to someone! It was A thousand miles by Vanessa Carlton. I cancelled it before I got connected. (>_<)

I was also used as a sample for the testing of Kim's granola bars. I already ate granola bars before, but I didn't know they were called granola bars. Their research is tastes fine, but well, the appearance does not look very good. (@_@)

2007-09-18T22:19:00.001+09:00

Only today did I realize that I have bruises at my knee, a little one at my elbow, probably from practicing our dance. But it's still weird, because they are red violet bruises. Sir said a bruise can form from kneeling, especially to girls, and more specially to ones who are near their monthtly cycles. Ch'.

Ian: Angelica, matuwa ka. Ibig sabihin di ka buntis.

(T_T)

I was laughing so hard at the kitten. We were playing, and really, Milk is so cute! It seems like she'll never really grow up. I wish so, too, so we can play with her forever.

2007-09-17T19:46:00.000+09:00

No comment. I'm keeping my mouth shut tight, so tight no syllable can ever come out.

I arrived late this morning, LOL. I thought there will be no flag ceremony. So, I walked Agham, which made me later than I already am. We made our costumes. I was helping out with the good guys' costumes -- I made Angel's? [the one wearing orange, whoever he is] and Kyle's band. Practice, had lunch, then competition. Then blah. Only one thing to say: I'm a sore loser, too. I just kept it to myself.

I wasn't able to buy the sketch book I'm yearning for the past three months (>_<). No new crochet thread, either. I got too lazy to enter the mall and buy what I want. Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm making a white bonnet/cap by crocheting. I'm already more than halfway already. (^_^) Yes, I do crochet... but I don't sit on a rocking chair while doing that, like Gab said.

Another note. No one really mentioned the eyebrow part. But of course, as usual, Sarah did. She's always the one who notices it everytime I have my eyebrows trimmed. Such sharp eyes (-_-). Everytime she notices it, too, she always mistakens it as me putting make up on. (@_@)

2007-09-17T07:15:00.001+09:00

I'm still at home. I am late for flag ceremony, if there is one. But I just can't leave the house looking gay. I'm so annoyed. Never again shall I have my eyebrows trimmed, even if my mom threatens to take away my life!

I'm sort of traumatised, that's why it's such a big deal. For all I care, I can just wait for parts of my eyebrows to grow back. But no, really... There is such incident where I learned not to overdress the hard way. LOL. I also learned that dangling earrings are not for me. But anyway... yeah. That's why I have to come up with a solution for this before I go to school.

Augh.

Maybe I can just wear shades. (>_<)

2007-09-16T19:37:00.000+09:00

Third post for today (^_^). I just forgot to tell how much my mom loves cabs. She just seems very lucky with the cabs she chose today.

When I grow up, I'm going to give her a cab.

2007-09-16T19:07:00.001+09:00

Oh, yeah. Mom said we're going shopping in two weeks.

FINALLY.

2007-09-16T18:57:00.000+09:00

ACET is not hard. The time given is just too short.

ACET ended at around 11:45 am. People went out of the building, yadda. Apparently, my mom is still at home. I had to wait for around 1 1/2 hours. There were a lot of Pisay people hanging around, but I did not hang out with them. I took on the loner stance - again. I've been doing that for the whole week already. Hmp. Actually, Janella was with me, but she left soon. Kim, too. So, while I was alone, I observed people around me. There were very very few cute guys, much to my disappointment. To my annoy-ment (>_<), there were a LOT of Korean guys. I didn't chance upon Chris Tiu, too (@_@). So, with nothing to do and no one to talk to, I just went about observing other girls' clothes [Lucky guys, really, there are a lot of cute girls around]. There are a lot of girls wearing cute tops. To be expected, actually. But I found 2 girls dressed like gothic dolls (lolita?). I so want to go shopping.

We went to the mall, where I got a haircut (and had my eyebrows trimmed, much to my annoy-ment. I hate trimming it, and I was right --- I fucking look like a gay. FUCK). Goodbye long hair. I really want my almost-elbow long hair, but I need a haircut badly. Split ends, man! Well, at least, goodbye, split ends!

2007-09-15T12:45:00.000+09:00

I woke up hearing Jojo's "Beautiful Girl". Apparently, my cousin was playing my brother's CD. She proceeded to repeat the song a dozen more times. When we turned it off and turned the radio to FM, the first song we heard was the same song. We finished the song and turned it to our favorite radio station. Amazing, amazing *sarcastic tone*, they were playing the same damn song.

I think my eardrums just popped.

Anyway, I am reviewing [more like cramming] for the ACET -- Ateneo College Entrance exam. I haven't even reviewed for it yet. Bah. My exam is tomorrow: Sunday morning, Room 32, High School. I'm at the same room and same time as Janella! Yay! Emma is also at the same schedule. Hopefully we get to meet each other. Anyone else at the same timeslot???

Oh, yeah, after the exam, I'll go for a haircut. Hopefully I get to convince my mom to go shopping, too (^_~).

2007-09-13T20:31:00.001+09:00

There was an opening program for our Humanities a while ago. I arrived early -- I even took the pedicab so that I will arrive earlier since I don't have our platoon shirt and I still don't know if there are new final steps in our creative marching (which is true, by the way, but I was able to cope with it, what with my great adaptive powers (@_@)). Waited a while at the grandstand and took Zim's number. LOL. My new number is still not spread around since it is, well, just new. And my cellphone is practically useless when it comes to communication since there is no signal inside our house. Believe me, I'm not lying.

Anyway... yeah, marched around and stuff. Our presentation is okay, I guess. We only kind of suck at the gameboy part, when the counting was off. Oh, and yeah, one of our platoon-mates weren't there, and we got two demerits because of that! My platoon-mates were kidding about it:
Bravo g1: Hoy, i text niyo nga si *toot*. Sabihin ninyo patalo siya. [Hey, someone text *toot*. Tell her she sucks.]
Bravo g2: Wag na, awayin pa tayo ng nanay niya. Mamaya magsumbong siya: 'Mommy, mommy, sabi nila patalo daw ako!' *with matching mocking sobs and waving cellphone* [Don't mind, her mother might fight us. She might tell her mom: 'Mommy, mommy, they said I suck!]
LOLZ.

The guys made good marches. Bravo 1 did a nice one (^_^). Delta 1 actually lied down the muddy grass! It surprised us all, really, especially since they were wearing white shirts!!!

After that was 'Laro ng lahi', where I pretty much spent all of the time playing Solitaire. I crammed my bio problem set, too (^_^). Lunch... ate alone. I'm on a loner mode these days. More on that later.

We practiced our sayaw interpretasyon. We were supposed to practice at the girls' dorm, but one of the sockets exploded, which resulted to non-functioning of all sockets.
Nerd talks:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Me: Brown-out?
Someone: The lights are still on.
Someone 2: The socket outside exploded.
Someone 3: How come the sockets are not functioning while the lights are still on.
Someone 2: They are on a parallel circuit.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Someone: You guys should apply your Physics lessons to your daily life. See, V = I * R
Someone 2: It's more like P = I * V
Someone 3: No, it is V = I * R. Voom! = Incident Report.

And then there is the KKKwiz. I was sitting beside a giant factory/commercial fan, and it made me really sleepy. I was reading The Once and Future King the whole time. After a while, we hung out at the fourth floor. Jay, Kyla, Olav, and Castro were practicing [they had with them amplifiers and electric guitars]. Left after a while, but I got annoyed since it started drizzling. How come everytime I bring my umbrella, it does not rain? And everytime I do not bring it, it rains?

After a while, when I reached Tandang Sora, it started pouring really hard. It is kind of cool to watch that scene: Raning night sky in a jeepney. It so fits my mood. Not angsty, but more on apathetic.

Speaking of which, I can feel it... I can feel that I am so gonna be apathetic these next few weeks. I hate my apathetic self. I just don't care when I am in this mode. I am not kind or nice, I am just polite. And once I am apathetic, I don't care anymore if I am polite or not. I don't care if I hurt other people or what... I don't care if our STR project is going all crappy and shitty, I don't care if I start snubbing of all people in the world... I just care about my self.

In short, when I am at my apathetic mode, I am the selfish, vain, and bitchy me.

Beware, people of the world.

Apathetic Angelica is here.

2007-09-12T22:06:00.000+09:00

I took a much needed day-off. Things might go offhand tomorrow, but at least I refreshed myself. Even my mom noticed that I looked stressed out -- she said it even showed in my face. (>_<)

Mostly slept the whole day. I did a lot of crochet stuff, too. I still haven't lost touch. I can still do nice stuff from crochet thingies... LOL. I'm actually making a white bonnet. (^_^)

Quotable Quote Never trust people on a diet.

Said Sir Arghs. Then people better stop trusting me now. I am serious. I will be on a diet [again]. My cousin said I was gaining weight again! NOOO~!

2007-09-11T21:20:00.000+09:00

I won't be going to school tomorrow, classes or no classes. We live near Sandiganbayan, and my mom said that a portion of Commonwealth would be closed off at 6 am. My mom was actually the one who suggested that I don't go to school tomorrow (@_@).

Nice idea, ma! (>_<)

Does the one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent? As you close you eyes in slumber, do you think that you can say: You have earned one more tomorrow by what you did today?"

2007-09-08T21:56:00.001+09:00

Quotable Quote In art, there are tears that do lie too deep for thought.

Today is our family day (^_^) I brought my cousin and my younger brother with me, but I soon ended up cursing them for they keep mentioning names of people. They know all people who had been and my present classmates because of all the pictures posted on the net which I obediently download, one by one. So.. yeah. I didn't even know why I brought them there. I promised my cousin once that I will bring her to school -- she already did before, when I was a first year and our van was dropping and picking me up from school, but she never got out of the van -- and of course, my brother tagged along. My mom is busy, but that's fine since I don't have a failing grade [yet]. Hopefully I maintain that standing. We did not really do anything relevant, except eating. I am SO gonna gain weight... I don't want to be a tabachingching again. [Although I still like this tabachingching blog] I worked hard on losing weight last summer, and no, I do not plan to waste my efforts. We walked around the campus until our legs ached, and in the lazy noon my brother took a nap (@_@). I so envy him. But of course I cannot do anything like that... Afterwards, we hit the mall. It's so COOL to hang out with someone in the mall. You get to windowshop. Windowshopping by yourself is not fun at all -- that's what I normally do after classes, when I go home early. I actually wanted to go inside one of those botiques, but we don't really have much time. So we ended up looking at cute stuff... looking at stuff that can be given as gifts this approaching Christmas (>_<). LOL. I found one for my mom. I am SO sure she's going to love it. :D

Painfully Learning

2007-09-08T21:47:00.000+09:00

Quotable Quote "We cannot learn without pain."

I've never felt more desperate in my whole schooling. I hate STR and I hate ComSci. Well, sort of. If the quotation above does apply all the time, then I am learning a hell lot. Our STR project is just going shit, and we have to go to UPLB [Lendl was smiling mischievously when we asked directions on how to go there... was mentioning something about frats (T_T)] if my plan of action number two does not work.

I hate... despise comsci, sort of, for it is giving me stress that does not concern only my grades. We are to make a website for a company -- a real company -- and I am afraid that we might not make it to their standards. I am really fearing this, and this does not apply only for my grades. What will they (company owners) think of Philippine Science High School if we do not finish the website? Well, I am just encouraging (strengthening) myself. I keep repeating to myself that this can help me determine what career I will pursue. That someday, if I choose to be a web developer, I shall do these things. Better fail now than fail later.

But of course that by itself can not wipe away all the anxieties I have right now. I just want to make a website that meets their standards -- hopefully exceeding their standards -- and finish the "Micropropagation of Dipterocarpus gracilis" with good results.

If things go wrong... well... I don't know.

PISAY foundation day!!!!!

2007-09-05T22:10:00.000+09:00

Quotable Quote I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they pass by.

My throat is aching from so much screaming! Today is our school's foundation day. Well, the morning was pretty slow - awardings and this and that... but the afternoon was... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a very great thing that we were sitted near the stage. The performances are so great/exciting/exhilerating/blood-rushing/blah. Well, at first it wasn't. No offence, but the first performers (the bands) need more practice. My blood was boiling... and I was sitted at the front so I get to hear them more. I mean, I am not a good judge of bad quality -- I can't say when this thing tastes bad and yadda... I even thought once that Cueshe is good! -- but even I, the ever-music-quality-ignorant thought it wasn't good. When my ears couldn't take it any longer, I put earphones on 0(>_<)0 and sang "Girlfriend". LOL. Yeah, I was right in front of the stage. Poor guys... Bah. Give them a break... they're just teens anyway. But then, Jay, Kyle, Carlo, and Kyla play good. I heard them once play Ang huling El Bimbo. Oh, whatever.

After that, there was a long play from Maskara. It is very long...but hey, it's good! I was laughing. I did not get all jokes, but I laughed most of the time because I was laughing at Sarah who was laughing so hard. (@_@) That play was really funny!

And then, of course, the teachers danced!!! [A LOT of exclamation points here!] Well, I was enjoying all. I think my eyes rot off when I saw Ma'am Docto[r] dance. But hey, my eyes feasted when I saw sir Mardan and sir Tafaleng dance! ONE BIG OMG! I was screeching all throughout the performance. I was like --- AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! --- yeah, that excited and all... And even just watching the video makes me pumped up again. Like... damn man! LOL. Check this one out!!! Teachers dancing!

So, yeah... my throat still freaking hurt!
