Paalam na, 2007.

Hah! You're history!

Goodbye 2007! I will never miss you.

To be honest, I've decided not to post anything until tomorrow evening. That changed, however, when I happened to browse the boring TV channels [that includes my favorite channels as well], and eventually stumbled upon this show in a local channel [which, of course, I will not name].

The show's episode was about thanking 2007. I mean, I have some things [operative word: SOME] to thank for given to me by the year 2007, but it gave me more grief than blessings. Yeap, GRIEF.

I don't want to go over the details. I just felt like spilling my feelings today. Hah! 2007 --you're history!

Updates.

BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS nga pala. I forgot to post something here or hindi lang talaga ako OL. Actually, dahil sa Christmas, I lost track of time. I mean, parang kagabi lang ang Christmas Eve, then, December 29 na agad? OMG.

Honestly, medyo boring ang holidays ko. It is so uneventful, wala talagang nangyayari na special na nakakasaya. Oh well. I spent the boring Christmas with my mother and brother. Nagmo-movie marathon lang sila lagi, at ako naman, nakakaharap sa PS2.

Oh. Kingdom Hearts pala ang linalaro ko ngayon. Nyahahahaha. SORA is <3.>

Wala na pala akong pakialam sa PSP ko. Hindi kami nagme-make love ngayon. Ahahaha. I'm so glued to other things. :D

==================================

Anyway, want to know the details of what I've been up to these days? Same lang man, pero, ina-update ko lang.

>>> DRAWING as usual. I'M SO TRYING HARD! I need to pass the talent test so badly! Argh.

Help. I need help. As in.

>> I'm also playing Kingdom Hearts. I <3>

>> I'm also continuing my READING SESSIONS. Aw, Book 10 na pala ang ni-ri-read ko ngayon sa A Series of Unfortunate Events. Idol ko talaga si Esme Squalor. Wala lang. :D

>> I'm also trying to write three (3) essays for Filipino. Gosh naman, ang corny ng mga sinusulat ko. Take note: sinusulat pa lang. 'Di pa ako natatapos, and I don't even think na matatapos pa ako.

==================================

Oo nga pala,

sinong gustong magdonate ng EYE SHADOW sa akin? ahahahaha. :D

THANKS SO MUCH. :]

ANY SHADE LANG NG BAYULET. :D

======================================================

Anyway, HELLO KRISTAL! :D

On Becoming Emo and Being Selfish

I don't know about you, but I sure do know about me.

First things first: I think I am becoming emo these days. I mean, I don't mean to discriminate people who call themselves emo [especially those who really are emos], but I just want to know what it really is. Is it all about being depressed and sad and all? I don't know. Oh well. Honestly, I am depressed and sad these days. I can't smile easily. I can't laugh easily --all because of selfishness.

Second: I am being selfish. I was tasked to make a letter [even if I am not tasked, I still end up being the one who SHOULD make it]. I was very devastated with someone and disappointed as well. I mean, he/she seems like he/she is just in the comfort zone, whereas, I, --I who should be doing something else, is the one worrying for that letter thingy. Therefore, due to anger or whatever you call it, I passed the task to all the people whose positions are higher than mine. Hah! At least I get to be free from obligations, which, of course, in the first place, do not really belong to me.

THE END for now.

So like... this isn't happening, right?

I've been in a hiatus for quite a long time. Oh yeah, my last post was last December 2, right? I remember that it was still during the Ateneo Fiesta. Anyway, I've not updated for quite a time so here's a rundown of the things I've been up to since then:

>> I'm so darn busy right now with my art stuff. Yeah, art stuff. Your eyes are not deceiving you nor are they trying to play tricks on you. I'm into anime and heavy metal right now [which are very,very UNUSUAL for me to do since my forte is cartoons]. I am desperate in passing U.P.'s talent test, so...

>>Aside from that, my PSP and I are always making love. It's not what you are thinking. Ahahaha! All I am trying to say is that I am always playing with my PSP. Oh well. It's enough to kill boredom for the time being.

>>Next thing is, I am trying to learn music. Yes, I am trying to learn even just a little bit of music. Just imagine: I have not a little musical talent. Therefore, I am trying and doing my best to make it work. Oh yeah, I'm just playing the recorder... so, don't be too harsh. :D

>>I'm also continuing my reading session. Yep, yep. I am continuing my reading session. I so love my books. Last November, I received my complete series of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. I read, read, and read my heart out. Oh well. I'm still in Book 8 because I'm currently reading a Haruki Murakami [I won't tell you the title. XP]

>>Aside from those mentioned above, did I mention that I literally killed my laptop? Now, I have nothing to use except some old 6 gb computer which is toooooooo slow!

Anyway, I'm just in the mood of typing something today. I just feel like spilling my thoughts out, so, read if you must. I thought that I'm being an optimist these days, but those seem to have no effect. I'm back to my old self ---my PESSIMISTIC self. Wanna read the reasons? Then continue. :D

>>The research paper really has no impact on me. I'm not stressed about it.

Actually, I am just stressed with the daily notes for science. Eh sana, kung may natutunan ako everyday sa physics at sinusulat ko sa daily notes, eh sana 99 na ang grade ko sa card. Nakakainis ang nagsusulat ng madami at nakakakuha ng A+, eh, pagdating naman sa card eh kulelat naman. Argh! I'm so pissed off.

Oh well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE

I've been gone for a long time.

Ayoko na i-recount kung anong nangyari for the past month or so.

It's not like something really grand has happened, pero, I FEEL like not typing anything except what I am saying right now.

Perhaps, sooner or later, perhaps lang.

TAKSIL!

~I HATE YOU SO MUCH. THANKS FOR THE RUIN.~

~BE HAPPEEEE. GOOD CHOICE. GOOD RUIN.~

Exams (October 25 - 27)

I'll have to make this short since I'm running out of time (or I just don't want to type anything here. I just feel like there is a need for me to update).

Uhm, GENERALLY SPEAKING, ok lang naman ang exams (dahil nag-aral ako) except nalang for the last day. I took physics and computer for granted. Oh well. Literature was the best! Yehey!

----------------

April (to Ana): "Wala akong pinag-aralan!"

[ I was referring to physics. Sa mga maka-gets, ang WITTY niyo. Sa mga hindi, oh well. ]

HAPPEE Day

Hindi pumasok si Bro. Renel ngayong araw na 'to sa klase namin. Ok lang since hindi lang naman siya ang wala sa school nung first period. Kahit yung dalawang brothers eh wala naman, so, malaya kaming mag-isip na hindi talaga siya makakadalo sa klase.

Teary-eyed nga pala ako kanina sa morality. Touching talaga ang story ni Rick and Dick Hoyt. It's one-of-a-kind. Parang nobela.

Hindi nga pala pumasok si Sir Mac, ewan namin dun. At least may time pa ako para mangopya ng assignment. :)

Nung physics time rin pala, tinulugan ko si Sir Anwar. Sleepy talaga ako. Sorry talaga, sir. I did not mean to but my eyes demanded me to lay my head on the desk and make zzzz sounds.

Nung composition, si Ma'am Quirit ang pumasok. Nothing special man. Test lang about bibliography.

Nung lunch, nakuha na pala namin nina Mae Fel at Ana ang interview thingy for CONCOM galing kay Camille (thanks Yanaei!) at sinauli ko na yung books na hiniram ko sa library na magwa-one month na sana sa care ko by October 20. Ang laki na ng fine ko --php23.00! Ok lang. At least 'di na ako pinapuntang finance office sa main campus.

Nung computer talaga ang pinaka-enjoy --supppper! Kahit 'di ko na masyadong naintindihan, ok lang, naintindihan ko pa rin in the end. Yung mga seatmates ko pala, tinatapunan nila ng "BULLET PAPER" ang mga nasa harapan habang nagdidiscuss si Ma'am Gelina. Yung mga nasa harap din, pa-innocente pa, kala mo wala lang. Pero nung lumabas si ma'am, nag shower din sila ng BULLET PAPER. Rawwwwwwwwwwwwwwr!

KENNETH: "This means war. traaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" <<-- nag shower din siya ng Bullet Paper.

Nung economics time, boring talaga super. Kung hindi lang talaga si Ma'am Venice ang teacher, ewan ko na lang.

Nung Filipino time din, IDOL! Brown out man nun at nag long quiz kami. Enjoy man yun si ma'am kahit galit (y'know, buntis kasi. :D ) Tas, parang galit man sa akin si Kenneht dahil sa nangyari kahapon. Oh well. Depressed pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Umulan nga pala ng malakas kanina. Bien foggy din talaga. hahaha.

Oh well. Gagawa pa pala ako ng article for CONCOM in Tagalog.

Earl also assigned me to manage the blog. Awwwoooo.

KRISTAL, THANKS FOR THE HANDOUTS and sa PAGTAGO NG SECRETS. mwah. :)

Rants

Nakakinis talaga. Is it just Bro. Renel or is it just my classmates? Totoo lang, I'm pissed off. Lagi nalang ba teacher ang may kasalanan? It's not that I am in favor of Bro. Renel pero I really feel that this has gone too far. Honestly, I did not get to answer the long quiz very well. I mean, wala akong ka-alam-alam! Ang alam ko lang dun is yung alam ko na daan. Yung hindi pa na-discuss.

I'm so irritated. Kasalanan ba talaga ni Bro. Renel kung hindi pa nalagay sa e-class o kaya wala pa kaming hand-outs? Ano kami walang mga kamay para kumopya o walang tainga para makinig? Oh my gosh. Ang dami kayang libro about Greek mythology pati ang dami pang internet sources.

Seriously, I was WELL aware of my decision not to copy notes from someone when I was absent for three days. CHOICE ko. Kaya ayun, I failed the long quiz. It was my choice. Hindi ako nagalit kay Bro. dahil alam kong may kasalanan ako at wala akong right na magalit. Alam ko na may long quiz, at 'di pa ako naghanap ng sources. Pero yung iba din, masyadong nag-re-rely sa hand-outs. So, so, irritating.

Ang iba kung makasalita, as if si Bro. Renel lang talaga ang may kasalanan. Sheesh. Pwede ba kung hindi kayang habaan ng ibang tao ang kanilang pasensya, eh, pasensya nalang natin ang pahabain natin?

(Sa mga matatamaan, sorry. Huwag na huwag kayong magagalit because I DID NOT NAME even a single person from the class. Kung natamaan man, problema niyo na yun. It's your CHOICE na magalit. This entry is intended for SOME only if not MOST or if not ALL. Argh. Sobra na.)

RESEARCH PAPER A.d.v.e.n.t.u.r.e :)

Nothing much happened this day except that I was sort of annoyed (sort of lang naman) with 'this' girl this morning. (I just hope she does not get to read this. Hahaha. Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan, 'wag magalit. :D) The reason is very shallow, but it still made me want to krrrrr her. HAHA. But then again, it's not that significant. I mean the reason and its details.

Anyway, today is Schedule B and we had nothing much to do. Only morality, composition and economics made sense this morning. Computer was sort of boring. I did not feel like working because classes run for only 30 minutes with this sched. I feel so tired, shaky and bored. We did not have trigonometry because the door was locked before we went to the comlab. For some reason, the room coordinator can't seem to find the keys. Oh well. The class ended at around 12:15 p.m. Wahaha. Nice.

My friends and I rode the bus to get to the main campus. We went there for one purpose. We needed to 'invade' the main library. But before we went there and explored, we decided to eat in the canteen.

(Ang weird naman, 'pag sa Tumaga campus, CAFETERIA. 'Pag sa main, CANTEEN. Ei. Clear my mind, anyone?

Ano ba talaga ang difference?)

Ang saya pala dun! 'Yung front canteen, air con na! Asenso --supppppppppper! :) Ang cool naman doon! Pero ang pangit nga lang, ang liit-liit nun, tatlo pa ang air con. 'Tas, wala pa talagang ulam. Sa back canteen nalang sana --malaki dun, tas walang air con?! Ang init.

Tententenen! After eating, we invaded the library. Wow. Never pa akong nakatapak dun! Ang laki pala! Para din siyang condo unit kasi may second floor talaga --cool! Haha. Hinanap ko na pala ang dapat kong hanapin. Thank God kay ang dami ng sources para sa topic ko. Yahooo!

Actually, hindi ko inakala that searching for books will take (or should I say waste?) a lot of time. '

Kala ko, pa-OPAC-OPAC lang, then viola! :) Hahahay. Nung three o'clock something, lumayas na kami ni Ana, kumain nalang kami sa Jollibee. Yummm. Ang takaw ko. Mataba nanaman ako ulit. Oh well. THE PLEASURES OF LIFE. :)

ITEM OF THE DAY

= Red ang dominant color niya. Tapos, may hearts na color puti. Tas may black na outline ang lahat ng drawings. =

[ Hint: Ginagamit ito sa ilalim ng palda. :P ]

WORD OF THE DAY

= Babuy. =

PHRASE OF THE DAY/SENTENCE OF THE DAY

= By the River Sucabon, I Sat Down and Pooed =

(may word ba na 'pooed'? Nyahaha)

Back to School

So, I'm back to school (literally) after my four days of hibernation.

I felt so different this morning. I mean I am not used to the feeling of attending the morning assembly anymore since I'm usually absent on a Monday or a Friday. It was weird to be able to sing the Animo Ateneo again. Oh well.

Honestly, I felt like a foreigner or more like an exchange student when I entered the classroom. It was so strange. By strange I mean it's quite unfamiliar to me. I have not seen Bro. Renel for ages (in the classroom or in AVR 2). I don't know what to think of this morning. I did not understand morality and even physics. It's so weird. Is this really normal after being away for such a long time?

Anyway, I am not very pleased with computer. I've been having trouble in programming. Wait. I'm not really like this, but how come --why just now? Oh well. Ma'am Gelina said that the periodic exam will be hands-on. (Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?)

Even if my back-to-school ek ek is not that pleasing, I am still happy that Ma'am Vesagas approved of my topic for the research paper at one glance. Thank God that she did not inquire, inquire and inquire about my topic. I'm so excited!

And yeah. I almost forgot. I would like to thank Ma'am Venice for helping my narrow down my topic after narrowing it down already. Haha. She is such big help. Weeeeeeeee. I'm so grateful.

I visited my father's grave this afternoon. Since today is October 15, it's been exactly five (5) months since his soul departed his body. I miss speaking to him, really. Oh well. Life.

AYOKO

Tomorrow is Fiesta Pilar, and tomorrow is my late father's birthday. Even though he is dead, we still plan on preparing different kinds of food for him particularly his favorite lechon VAVUY. (Ironic masyado, contributor ang lechon sa pagkamatay niya. haha.)

Seriously, I am beginning to dislike my relatives (my uncles and aunts). I don't know why, but they have this strong negative aura that I am not comfortable with. (NO ONE IS COMFORTABLE WITH SOMETHING NEGATIVE. naman.)

Anyway, I will visit my father's grave tomorrow, and I do not plan on going there with my relatives. YUCKS. Kadiri. I'd rather go there alone than go with them.

Anyway, I just feel like expressing my strong dislike for them. Ergh. I may sound too 'mapagmataas', but hey, it's just normal since they are the ones provoking me --always.

Hahay.

Details of the Weeks

I have not written anything these past few weeks. I don't know why I have not accessed my blog, but my primary suspect is my addiction for 'keeping things in place' if you get what I mean.

I don't feel like writing a book right now, so, I'll be placing all the details in numbers. :)

(NGEE. Parang iba man yung last sentence. Nyahaha.)

(NOT IN ORDER. Pero I am sure sa details ng ginawa ko for two weeks.)

1. Bumili ng CDs (iilang pirated at iilang orig)

2. Naglakwacha kasama si Ana

3. Nagpabili ng shirt kay Ana sa Bench. (p**** kasi yung saleslady dun. she's doubting my size. ergh. bastos xa.)

4. Bumili ng flip-flops

5. Bumili ng zip-lock bags (quarter and gallon sizes)

6. Pumunta sa DFA

7. Pumunta sa awards night thingy ng UZ.

8. I 'fetched' my card. (argh. trigo - 78 . oh well.)

9. Pumunta sa dermatologist.

10. Pumunta sa pediatrician.

11. Pumunta sa ob-gyne.

12. Nag-anime marathon

13. DRAWING. DRAWING. DRAWING. (ryu and gwendel)

14. Bumili ng mga notebooks and ballpens na hindi ko kailangan.

15. Kumain ng fried ice cream (seven times)

16. Nagpa-urinalysis.

17. Nakikipag-debate kay KRISTAL. (kasi. SEKRETT.)

18. Nag-organize ng mga gamit. (lahat na naka-zip-lock bag.)

19. DESIGN. DESIGN. DESIGN.

20. Nagmemorize ng Jewels of the Pauper.

21. Pumunta sa tree-planting. (for all I thought for YSEP thingy, ayun pala, dahil sa YASS.)

weee.

ang dami ko pang ginawa.

ayoko na magtype.

bored na ako.

[I would like to thank JP kasi hindi pa ako 'pinalayas' sa YASS. Thanks so much. :) Thanks.]

[Thanks din kay Kristal para sa time niyang makipag-usap sa akin. :) ]

I'm Back!

I'm back! Unfortunately, I have nothing to post. :)

Nagpaparamdam lang ako sa blog ko. Wahaha. Weeeeee. :)

'Tal, thanks in advance for the ppt sa lit! :D

LIBRARY ORIENTATION / DATE WITH ANA (09-1-07)

(Yung bitay-bitay ko sa cellphone na binili ko sa PinkBox kanina. :] Yipee.)

Argh. I just went to ADZU Main this morning just to attend that Library Orientation. Sigh. I was so upset because it started late, and of course, it ended late. Oh well. I do not know what the Library Orientation is. If I just dissect the words, of course I know, but I do not know what its purpose is. Haha.

Anyway, I ate Satti after that. Ana just drank Pepsi, as usual.Then, we just went anywhere from Chinz to Checkbooks and from Checkbooks to Mindpro. From there, we went to Southway. From Southway we went to Penhaus (sa wakas! nakatungtong na rin ako sa Penhaus) then back to Mindpro again.

Ito ata ang pinakamatagal namin na date ni Ana. haha. 10am - 3pm. Tapos, kami lang. Haha.

Ang dami ko palang nabili kanina:

1. Bitay-Bitay sa cellphone

2. CD

3. Madaming bookmarks. :] weee.

Tiring talaga ang araw na 'to. Sheesh. Oh well. Sulit naman. :]

Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GANNI and GREGGI! (08-31-07)

(Si Ganni lang ang nasa picture. Oh well.)

Belated Happy Birthday kena Geovanni and Greggori! :)

Be happy always. :]

Memorable din para sa akin ang birthday niyo. Weee! :]

BUNGO Presentation(08-31-07)

Actually, I don't want to talk about the presentation. Basta, we won first place, and that's enough. I don't want to recall anymore. Basta'yon na 'yon.

Altenative Classes/YSEP thingy (08-30-07)

Wahaha. At least we did not have much practice because we had alternative classes. I don't know why it is called "alternative class". All I know is that it is alternate because the teachers are alternate. (anu raw?).

Oh well. I thought that there will be "swapping" of classmates for the sessions and that we will be occupying different rooms.

OH WELL. WHAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT ALTERNATIVE CLASSES DID NOT HAPPEN, AND THANK GOD IT DID NOT. Hahaha. :]

Anyway, Bro. Shio was the one who facilitated the class for the entire morning. He has so many good things to say, and he even associated our names to things so that he'll remember them easily. Wow. Mahilig sa mnemonic device. Anyway, it was about religious dialogue and I do not know.

All I know is that Lance had a very funny story about the current events. It's too long for me to narrate. Haha.

In the afternoon, we went to SRA Room just to watch that documentary about inter-religious dialogue thing (correct me if I'm wrong). It was a documentary filmed by Marilou Diaz-Abaya about this priest named Fr. Sebastiano D'Ambra whose goal is to have this inter-religious dialogue among people particulartly of two well-known religions (which I will not name). If I am not wrong, he is the one who founded Silsilah, right? It's that organization that promotes dialogue and peace.

After that documentary watching which just left most students glued to their MP3 players or asleep in their armchairs, here comes Ma'am Guerrero informing us about the revival of YSEP. I don't know what that means because I forgot, but only one thing is for sure:

"I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A SLAVE OF THE OSS NOR THE SHADOW OF SIR PILAMER." haha.

Afterwards, practice until evening. Pagkabukas na kasi yung presentation ng Bungo.

Whole Day Practice (8-29-07)

Honestly, I don't really like winning because it means suffering during the process. I don't really like winning (but it's not that I do not want it) because it requires so much effort. Kung pwede lang sana, happy-go-lucky nalang then nananalo --talent yun, diba?

However, this one is different. This is a group presentation. A Sabayan Bigkasan is a group presentation (hello, sabayan na gale.) and we need to practice well so that the presentation will be a success.

For some stupid and strange reason, I have this tendency to have a "war" in my stomach if I find out that there are practices or meetings in clubs/organizations.

Is there really a "war" in my stomach or am I just plain lazy?

Oh well. Basta. Nagpractice lang kami ng Bungo (yung piece) buong araw na 'di kami nag-recess. Oh well.

READ

A NOTE TO ALL INTERESTED/CONCERNED:

Tinamad ako at napagod for the past few days.

Ang daming ginawa at thank God all of them (most of them) are over.

Wish

I'll meet you someday

TETSUYA NOMURA

That is, if I will work for Squaresoft.

Long live Final Fantasy! :]

TRIGONOMETRY

Galit ako sa'yo!

Sheesh.

Galit sa Compo, Lit and Filipino

Hahay. Ang pangit ng araw na ito.

TWO REASONS

FIRST REASON: Wala pa si Bro. Renel (Hindi ako comfortable na hindi moderator ang naga-proctor.)

SECOND REASON: Eeesh. The exams were difficult.

Sheesh.

Actually, I did not study English Composition, Literature and Filipino, thinking that they are the easiest subjects.

Wow. These three subjects slapped me hard in the face.

FOR ENGLISH COMPOSITION:

1. Analogy (Single word and double word)

['kala ko easy]

FOR ENGLISH LITERATURE:

1. It's not that the test was difficult, the test items were just TIME DEVOURERS.

[Anyone familiar with the Time Devourer? ;p hehe.]

2. I hate the essay questions in the test.

FOR FILIPINO:

1. Upon receiving the two sheets (both questionnaire and answer sheet), sabi ko pa:

"agay. sakit. patay. hala. patay."

2. Everything is so UNFAMILIAR. Argh. Not to mention I did not read El Filibusterismo well.

Huhu. Trigonometry and Computer na bukas.

I HEART COMPUTER. :D

Jersey

ang likod (t: the back)

ang harap (t: the front)

Gosh. Hindi siya masyadong LADY SHU.

haha.

SHU

Actually, Shu is a character from the video game series entitled Suikoden.

He appeared sa Suikoden II.

Anyway, he's addressed as LORD SHU, so, ako din, LADY SHU.

(I know you really don't care, pero, well...)

haha.

well.

I like the jersey a lot.

'Kala ko nung una, pangit.

Haha. Well, it passed my standards (what are my standards, by the way?).

It's worth it.

I think this will be my first and last jersey from high school.

Oh well.

I Love You, Trigo!

Haha. Honestly, I need to finish my Inquiry Paper for Physics which I failed to pass weeks ago because I was absent. However, I found myself facing the computer and typing something to post in my blog.

How sad.

Anyway, I woke up at almost 12:00pm! I slept at 2:20 a.m this morning and you can't blame me for not waking up early. No, I'm not absent. There is no class today, mind you.

Also, I found myself just thirty minutes ago reviewing for Trigonometry. I know why I've been too focused in studying Physics but it is indeed a wonder on why I was able to lift my Trigonometry notebook and review. Luckily (if you call it luck), I understood the lesons. Yehey!

Phew. I pray I will pass Trigo.

Lahat kaya ng mga tests ko sa Trigo bagsak! Totoo ba! Ni-once 'di pa ako naka-pass. Kahit sa assignment below 75%. Ngee.

First Quarter Exams

Honestly, I began reviewing for the exams just this evening. Today is Sunday and there is no class tomorrow. Yipee. Don't ask me why there is no class tomorrow. I don't know why and I also don't care.

It feels weird, very weird. It's not just like me. I don't study days before the exam, but I study only a day before the exam.

Perhaps this is a stepping stone on discovering who I really am. Ewan. If this is indeed a stepping stone, then it's too late. I am about to graduate high school in seven months. Oh well, might as well prepare myself for college, eh?

While making this post, I'm also glancing at my Physics hand-out about Graphical Interpretation (is that it?) and reviewing about Free Fall. Haha.

PHYSICS IS THE BEST SUBJECT EVER!

Whoohoo! :D

Anyway, Bear, thanks for the encouragement! I know you'll read this someday --someday.

Advanced Happy Birthday, Ana!

(Si Ana yung babae sa right. Ako yung sa left.)

(Advanced Happy Birthday, Ana!)

Babae, advanced Happy Birthday! Kung mabasa mo 'to, oh well, eh 'di nabasa mo.

Alam kong sa August 22 pa ang birthday mo kaya lang ngayon nalang kita i-gi-greet kasi exams na kaya sa 23rd. 'La na akong time para mag-OL. Alam mo namang CRAM QUEEN ako.

Anyway, I'm wishing and praying for the best things in life for you. Be happy always. Love you, taba! :D

Pista sa Nayon

(Dahil Pista sa Nayon, magta-Tagalog ako. hehe.)

Sa totoo lang, nainis ako sa araw na ito at ako rin naman ay nagsaya.

Hindi ko lang talaga alam kung bakit ako nainis, siguro nalang din dahil sa pagdala ko ng buko juice. Napakahirap kaya nun. Pero at least maraming nasarapan. Home-made kaya 'yun.

Anyway, yung adviser ko, si Bro. Renel, kakaiba ang costume kanina. Haha. Naka-Barong din siya at mukha lang naman siyang studyante. Grabe. Mukhang bata talaga.

Ako naman ay naka magsasaka costume! Yehey! White shirt, pantalon na ni-fold pataas, tsinelas at buri hat! WEEEE.

Ano pala talaga 'tong Pista sa Nayon? Hindi ko rin nga mainitindihan eh. Pang Buwan ng Wika rin ba 'to, or ito na ba talaga? Hindi ko talaga maintindihan. Basta ang alam ko, may kompetisyon yung para sa kainan at Laro ng Lahi sa hapon.

Masaya man kaya lang parang 'di ako nag-enjoy. 'Di ako masyadong nasiyahan. Ewan lang.

Rock on, GAME OF THE GENERALS! Wala lang.

Thank you, Kristal!

'Tal, thank you talaga for saving the handouts in Morality for me. Thank you talaga.

You are so kind. 'Di lahat ng tao katulad mo.

Thank you talaga sa lahat. Thanks for the friendship. :)

Assembly!

For how many weeks of being absent every Monday or Friday, I am proud to say that I was able to attend this morning's assembly.

Yey! It's been a long time! Yipee!

Anyway, I missed singing the Animo Ateneo.

wala lang.

wala lang.

wala lang.

The Day After

I've been having doubts since yesterday if I am going to pass the UPCAT.

Today is Monday and I took it yesterday morning at WMSU.

I was so excited about the UPCAT. I felt so happy knowing that I am going to take it in the morning session at exactly 6:30 in the morning. Better than the afternoon sched, I thought.

But seriously, I felt so devastated upon entering that classroom wherein I took the exam. It's not that I do not like the place, but I felt shivers on my spine when I saw a multitude of unknown faces in the room.

I was like, wow, so this is UPCAT... this is the just a little percent of the examinees who aspire to pass this test. For all I thought, it was just me and my classmates, but I was wrong.

I feel so uncomfortable even though it's already finished. Really.

My Oh Well Day

Actually, I am so troubled with the fact that I can't just post anytime I want. There are three reasons behind this phenomenon, you see. First is, I am so damn bored with blogging even though I want to post, post and post. Second, I think that I am too lazy to go in front of the computer, turn it on and connect to the 'net. Of course, the third one is, I don't know what to type.

Oh well. That's life, right?

Anyway, I am just so happy that the UPCAT is already near. Thpugh I am sure that there is only a little chance that I will pass this "heavenly" exam (no sarcasm included, in fact I want to go to U.P.). Just consider the math: when I studied using my reviewer for the exam, I just got a seven out of fifty! Can you imagine that? I am sure you do especially if you share my weakness.

Also, I'm not quite excited about our class overnight/outing for July 28 and 29 respectively. I don't know why, but I think it's just a waste of time. Not really a waste of time, but for the time being it is because I am considering the number of activities that I still need to do.

Whew.

Well, this is life. This is so difficult, but so enjoyable!

Tenchu: Time of the Assassins

I just started playing Tenchu: Time of the Assassins just the other night (July 3, 2007). Wow. It is so great.

It is not everyday that I get to encounter games as great as this one for the PSP. My own review of this game is positive. This is really a great game. I am not really sure about the plot because I just began playing it, and I have not spent most of my time playing because of time constraints. Please also remember that I am still a student. I should spend more time facing my books than spending my precious time playing computer.

This is what I can say for now. I shall be back in no time. So, if you decide to play a game, you can make your gaming time playing Tenchu: Time of the Assassins worthwhile.

Ciao!

Uneasy

Today, I am devastated.

For the past few days, I have struggled with the fact that I deleted all my pictures that should have been uploaded in this page.

I am still devastated with the fact that I partially intended and did not intend to delete the pictures.

The number of days since my last post was the number of days that I did not do anything about my blog. Oh well, perhaps those pictures I had were not meant to be mine, nor be shown in this page. Nevertheless, I am still doing my blog and will continue.

Untitled

Today, I did nothing that special.

I just followed my routine, a cycle as some might call it, a little something that I have to do every Sunday.

I go to mass.

I eat outside.

I go and buy some necessities and some wants.

I eat again.

I walk.

I laugh.

I frown.

Then, I go home.

This continuous journey of mine never ceases to end.

This journey never stops. The cycle never ends.

This journey is just ordinary.

Too boring to be broken into detail.

Everyone experiences this journey called LIFE, so why bother anyway?

One Way to Kill Time

I Recalled

(The main cast of the Whispers of the Egyptian Sand)

After posting posts after posts, I felt bored. Yeah, really bored. I decided to continue reading Kafka on the Shore (a book I am currently reading), but I stopped. Again, I felt boredom. So, I began my search again for something to kill my time.

I came across something that I treasured for months. It is the video of our musical play, which was performed last January 21, 2007. The title of our play is Whispers of the Egyptian Sand. The class' best actors and actresses were chosen to act (if not, the play won't be a success). The play's setting is ancient Egypt (after Alexander the Great died).

I've watched this video for twenty-seven (27) times already, and I still don't find anything boring and ridiculous in watching it over and over again. I am really happy to remember those days when there are a lot of practices (which was for the good of the class itself, but was abhorred by many), class discussions, critics, researches, props making, and so on. Now, those things are just memories.

Entrance Exams

( Ana and Mae Fel are busy filling-up their UPCAT application forms)

It's almost the end of my high school years. The four school years I have spent here in ADZU high school have been a rollercoaster ride. I surely can't think of any reason to forget that I once stepped on high school grounds.

I just wanted to post something about my soon-to-be new journey, ika nga ng iba "bagong milestone" raw, and that is, college.

I just remembered those two foolish weeks when I called myself a sloth, deciding to forget about the UPCAT. I just did not want to fill-up the application form until the deadline is near.

Just like anybody else, I am just taking UPCAT for the sake of taking it. My mother wants me to take the UPCAT for the experience (and somehow, she wants me to be in UP because she is currently studying at UP). At first, I hated the sound of the php450.00 fee for taking the exam. It's such a waste, I thought, I could buy a new book with that amount! Hahaha.

The UPCAT is still sometime in August and I don't think I will pass. That's all.

Oh Coelho

I have nothing important to do today since it is just a boring Saturday. All I am doing is sit in front of the computer and browse the pictures I uploaded in my mother's computer. Then, suddenly, I came across the picture of my Coelho books which I acquired four months ago.

It so happened that I just fell for the charms of the covers of the books. I do not really admire Coelho that much, but I do admire his books a lot. Not in the photo are two books, A Warrior of the Light: A Manual (I have no idea where to get this) and my newly bought Like A Flowing River.

If you have spare time, at least read a Coelho book. The stories are just very easy to understand and they are all simple and realistic. One can relate to the stories. It talks too much about the importance of life, enlightenment and human behavior.

My favorite Coelho book is The Devil and Miss Prym. Don't ask why, just read.

My Life as a High School Student

My life in high school contains the best and the worst things I have experienced in my entire life.

Obviously, my life is already full of disappointments, distresses, downfalls, failure, and a plentiful faux pas. Even so, I think that my stay in high school is just too short --it just began yesterday, and boy, it will end tomorrow!

Seriously, I cannot really imagine that I am about to end my high school years. I am a senior student now and am about to graduate. For no barefaced reason, I believe that being in high school is not too pleasing for me. Not in the sense that if given the chance to step on high school floors again, I would not do it. But I mean it the other way around, that is, if given the chance to step on high school floors again, I would do it --partially.

I have had many experiences since 2004, that fated year when I stepped on the high school building in Ateneo (La Purisima). I experienced a weird mishmash of emotions. I did not know if I felt happy, anguished, optimistic, reserved, pessimistic and so on. It was a real rollercoaster ride for me. I was left with questions, doubts and even the will to just seize living my high school life. So, by then, I settled with the idea that I just do a routine, yes, a routine. If I did a routine, that would really help me. It was just a matter of picking up a piece of paper from my godforbidden messy bag, a pen and put into writing the schedules I had in mind. So much for planning, I must say, but it was one way of finding out who I really was. I was someone who decided to grow and learn --not everybody can stick to their schedules and eventually making them routines! By making a schedule, I learned how to be firm, decisive, and a better person. I can also say that I have achieved good grades during my first year. So much of the past, perhaps.

After my first fated year in high school followed a apocryphal yet significant event in my life. I never imagined that there will be resectionings! To be honest, I already loved my classmates during my first year in high school, but hey, it was time for a change, wasn't it? I cannot help, but accept the fact that we needed to be resectioned. There were many pros and cons during that time, and we were all trying to adjust on a new environment. By environment, I mean new classmates and another step towards reaching a diploma. The pros and cons I experienced were quite a number, but if I total them all, they would not even reach my age at that time --thirteen!

I would dare not to recount those pros and cons since they do not matter to me now anyway. Just like most teens my age say about their abhored experiences, "past is past".

The transferring of the high school campus in Tumaga-Lunzuran came when I was in third year. For all the years I have spent in my life in the Ateneo, I never thought that this plan of relocation would actually happen. That was way weird. There have been plans of relocation for both grade school and high school campuses since my brother was a kindergarten! It sure took time for the school itself to relocate, not to mention that it is only the high school that relocated. I am so grateful to Fr. Kreutz and his predecessors for making this possible. They all worked so hard just to achieve this. So, that. I can't add anymore.

For my fourth year, I do not really know what to say since I just began my senior year. It has been quite difficult adjusting to my new life now because I am entering school and going home without a father. Phew. That's so sad.

introduction to boredom

Just typing in front of a wi-fi connected computer in school is a young senior student by the name of April.

April, just like everyone else, is just ordinary --not a somebody, not just an anybody, but simply a nobody. She is typing her blog eagerly, hoping that some people will eventually stumble in her page. A wish so simple, yet so hard to achieve. In addition to that, April is not really a computer addict, but she does play a lot of video games which some might think about it as a contradiction. When she does not have her hands in her gaming consoles, you can just see her in one corner, reading a good book, or holding a pencil and a sketchbook

She loves the English subject so much and the computer subject too.

Like every other student, she is really into having fun, but not in the way that other students her age perceive it. To her, having fun is reading a good book --to others, it is just another boring activity like what the teachers give in school.

Sigh.

Too much.

Too much. Too much.

Too much. Too much. Too much.

Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much.

Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much of everything.

a dark chocolate

For some reason, I think of math as a dark chocolate without taste. It's questionable, isn't it? A dark chocolate without taste --how can you call it delicious?

Just a little while ago before I went to the computer laboratory, I sensed that even though how much I study, I still just can't get through the fires of mathematics.

I am starting to anticipate Trigonometry, but hey, it is not trying to be friendly with me. I felt terrible when the teacher called me, asking me if I am really April. Just read between the lines: he sensed that, perhaps (operative word perhaps), in the class, mine was the worst answer there is for that test.

Too humiliating.

Honestly, I love dark chocolate so much, and I think it's great. However, I treat math like a dark chocolate.

Why?

I think it's dark chocolate because like the real dark chocolate itself, not everyone appreciates it.

hrist, lenneth and silmeria

Have you ever wondered why the title of my blog is of hrist, lenneth and silmeria? Well, if you wondered why, I'll answer it now.

Hrist, Lenneth and Silmeria are the Norse mythology figures. They are what we call valkyries who govern destiny. They are warrior women who search worthy souls and corrupted souls to recruit to become Eihenjars who will fight along side the supreme god of Norse mythology, Odin.

Hrist, Lenneth and Silmeria respectively represent past, present and the future. Thus, the title of my blog can also be read as of past, present and future.

So, to cut it short: OF HRIST, LENNETH and SILMERIA can also be understood as OF PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE.
