Christmas Party!

Gosh! My lower body feels soo tired. The day started out with a Christmas Mass at the volleyball court. Then the two winning compositions last MusicFest were once again played by the third and fourth year band. I was gonna take pics when I realized that my camera had no memory card! [haha. stupid.] Good thing Kyle lent me her new cellphone (which was a Nokia and is colored purple at the back which is some kind of sliding phone) for me to text Mama. Mama soon came to school bringing the memory card. [Thank God!]

I am so happy with what Liane gave me. It was those rag doll things with button eyes that I've been longing for. It's so cute! It had a polka dotted body (black and white. yipee!) and pink button eyes. Little colorful beads were sewn below its head like a necklace.



When the mass ended, I expected food to be upstairs outside our classroom alread - like all the other classrooms. Instead, we saw - nothing. I've been waiting for the food!

So we had games first before the pizza [Pizza Hut. yum!] and lasagna came. As soon as we finished our meal prayer, all my classmates ran out like little pigs who haven't been fed for ages. Gosh! It feltlike rats were having a fiesta over the pizza. We all looked starved. I can't believe our class can look THAT barbaric. :(

Sadly, I onlygot two slices [which wasn't enough because I was hungry]. After my pizza slices, I gladly went to the lasagna to get some. And what did I see? Seemingly disgusting lasagna pasta pieces swimming in a deep pool of tomato sauce. Gross. Everyone had the same comment. The people who cut up the lasagna surely don't know how to do it properly. Talk about ruining appetite! Anyway, I got sme but didn't finish it. What a waste!

Then the whole class cleaned the VERY messy classroom. We had a water fight. It was a first for me. Really. Mama miraculously let me join the water ballon fight...and I have NEVER experienced bathing in the rain since birth. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??

I am currently cramming for the competition tomorrow. I am so nervous...wish me luck! I guess there might be a lot of high school seniors tomorrow. I better review well!

I'm Back. Yes. Well, part of me.

Too many things happened. Haha. And I have not posted a single thing. :D
Sorry, guys. I'll be back to the blogger world SOON. :)

The Smiling Dead

I found this joke on Women's Journal and it kinda gave me laughs, so I decided to post it. :))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three dead bodies turn up at the morgue, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.

"First body: Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his mistress. Hence the enormous smile, Officer," says the coroner.

"Second body: Scotsman, 25, won a thousand dollars on the lottery, spent it all on whiskey. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile."

The police investigator asked, "What about the third body?"

"Ah," says the coroner, "this is the most unusual one. Billy-Bob, the redneck from Oklahoma, 30, struck by lightning."

"Why is he smiling then?" inquires the investigator.

"Thought he was having his picture taken."

haha. niceeeee. ;)

Inconsiderate Groupmates

It has just dawned on me that classmates and groupmates can be soooo selfish and inconsiderate. We had our sabayang pagbigkas PA yesterday morning. And guess what? We all got a lovely score of 6.5. Why? Yes, I'm blaming it all again on my groupmates. Come on, why can't teachers change that stupid grading system? It's like, whoa. Your group's mistake = DEDUCTION AND DOOM FOR YOU ALL. I'm all against group grading and selfish groupmates!!

no classes....again.

We didn't have classes for three days: the two days weekend, plus this week's Monday. We had our classes yesterday. Waking up to my mom's bright face this morning, I noticed my unusually dark room. Then I heard pattering of rain. Then...the alarm clock. 10:00??!?!?! "Oh my gosh! I'm late!", was my initial reaction. But my mom told me calmly, there are NO CLASSES today. There will be a Parent-Teacher Conference tomorrow and on Friday. And that means there will be no classes. There won't be classes too next Monday. GOSH!! SIX DAYS of staying at home, sleeping, staring at the computer, burying yourself in bedsheets, and watching TV. We're living the happy life!!!

The Happiest Night...yet

Sophomore Night! Whoa! It was soooooo happy! My dress was simple...partnered with brown leggings and adorable shoes. The typical 70's retro style...my hair was curled. I played the bongo on acoustic songs that night. The song were namely: Ironic, Sunlight, Stand by Me, Beautiful Girls...I don't know if I forgot something. We had dance numbers, too. The parents danced(I admit it WAS CUTE). Ugh! If ever you noticed that this post sucks, I'm running out of words to say. I had my nails done the night before. If you would see me now, they are red-fuschia with three white flowers on each nail. I've been praying for teachers not to see them! I just hope they won't ask me to wipe them clean 'cause they cost to much! Anyway, what highlighted the night most (for me) was the freedancing part. It's the time when the dance floor was open for me to go crazy! Gosh! I never thought I'd open up too much! Still....the best night ever....:)

I missed blogging sooooo much!!

Gosh! I've been soooooo busy with too much stuff lately that I've forgotten to pour my feelings out. The Quarterly Exams have passed...the Sophomore Night....problems...a recent argument with a best friend...getting partially crazy...getting partially emo....two happy trips to SM Pampanga...having gorgeous nails...my blog has really missed a lot!!! That's why....I've decided to blast off my balik-blog moment with a gorgeous new layout. :))

I'm luvin': Windowblinds

Before my dad left, he changed my laptop's OS from Windows Vista back to XP. We found out that Vista was like...destroying my computer. My laptop is made for XP so it's not really compatible. So basically, I should've been sad. And I was. Not until my dad went to Manila and bought a new OS cd. WINDOWS XP BLACK. They say it's a new version. It says, "Feels like Windows Vista and Mac OS in one!!!". I was attracted and excited I kept pestering my ad to install it for me. Last March, he did. I was so happy! It had a dock like those of Mac and the features are soooooo Vista. I can't believe it's XP! It had this Windowblids feature I don't really get. Yesterday, I researched Windowblinds and found out that I can change the look of my whole desktopwith free downloads for Windowblinds. I downloaded lotsa skins and luvin' them!

Sleep? What's that?

I have been sleeping at 3:00 to 3:30 in the morning for two days now. So much work to do!! Aside from homeworks, there's the Brighton, quizzes, advanced study, and lots lots more. Waaaaaah!! I feel like my skull is shrinking. I'm actually panicking now because I still have lots more to do. I bet I won't sleep anymore!

I'm luvin': Always Getting Over You

I can't get over this song entitled: Always Getting Over You by Angela Ammons. I don't think she's famous, but I think her voice is okay. The first time I heard the son was during the time we were practicing it on the foot of the stairs last week for PFarts (Performing Arts Club). Well, I peeked atthe lyrics paper they were reading and saw Angela Ammons written in bold letters. So I decided t search the sog in LimeWire. Unfortunately, I still couldn't download it after many tries. So, I just listened to it in the internet. My gosh, it left me singing in the shower afterwards! Listen to it, you might fnd yourself liking it, too. A part of it is lso included in the remix: How Six Songs Collide by Norwegian Recycling (my fave fave fave song!).

Turned Out Great After All

My mom went to this practice thing for our upcoming Sophomore night on July 25. The "moms" in our batch were preparing for this special dance number and they had a practice today at this condo and villa place in San Fernando. I went along, knowing that my best friend, whose mom was also attending, was going to be there. I thought I was gonna be with her and wasn't gonna be bored to death....a least I thought so.....at first. :)

We were the only ones when we got there. Turned out that my best friend didn't come. Another mom picked us up and picked up other moms. I was so out of place! When we were at the place, this old agent guy came to us and offered us a tour of the place. So, he took us all around the condo units, including the ones that are still under construction and incomplete. Haha, I never thought they were THAT expensive. After the tour, we went downstairs to the wide space near the swimming pool. That's where we waited for the other parents to come.

While waiting, I was so out of place. Moms here, moms there, talking about different topics I'm not even interested in. I began o realize that I shouldn't have come. Then, while eating peanuts and feeling so sasa, one of my classmates came. She came, and I didn't care. Even if we were the only students outside the car (my other classmate was so "not in the mood" feeling so sungit was left to rot in the car), I didn't talk to her. Why? Simple answer: because I don't like her. She's too shy and I really just don't like her. So her presence didn't lift me up from my misery.

And then, at last....another mom came.....along with another one of my classmates. Yess! Even if I'm not close to him, at least....at least, I talk to him. SoI went to him and told him that we were with Igi (my classmate who was rotting in the car). And you know what? We went to him, and his freaking sungit mood was suddenly gone! We spent the whole day talking about magic and different kinds of topics. Even the agent who showed us around earlier was kind enough to talk to us. He was so interesting...and wise. I sure learned a whole lot today.

Turns out, the boys weren't so bad to be with after all. :)

PISSED.

Studied for a quiz, mastered all the stuff, and still.....you don't get a perfect score! Do you know how that feels? My gosh, it sucks like hell! We had this quiz in Bio about the components of life yesterday. The format was: there's a written situation and then we were supposed to identify what component of life is being described. Golly, I had a hard time at that! Though I mastered and memorized them all, I sucked at this application thing. Arrrrgh!! I ended up with two mistakes. That's a big effect on my grade!! AAaAAHhhH!!!

Laboratory Manual Fever...CURED!

Yeaaaah!!!! We just got our lab manuals back yesterday and guess what, I got a perfect score! My gosh, those hours of research really paid off. That lab manual comprises a big part of my overall grade in Bio! Yessss!!!

Laboratory Manual Fever

My very first lab manual as a sophomore! It's now with me. Believe me, I'm excited to write on it. I mean, I've practiced my handwriting and picked out my best black pen just for this. And now......my skull is shrinking!!! I have been searching the net for exactly three hours now and I have accomplished a grand total of....one page. Great.....just great. Only four more pages to go. Which means...three hours times four pages = 12 hours! Waaaaahhh!!!! Am I doomed to 12 hours of research???!!! =P

Approaching the Dawn of Day

Approaching the Dawn of Day

As people age many things occur. Looking at my pictures when I was a little girl, and then gazing at the mirror, I see physical changes in me; climbing up the ladder of growth and maturity.

I remember when I was younger, I was in a hurry to grow up. I always say that adults have many privileges. They can do this; we can’t do that. Adults have this; we don’t have that. Adults get what they want. But then, I realized I shouldn’t really be in a hurry to grow up. I must enjoy every minute of me experiencing life.

I observe the elderly people, it’s like they’re going back to being young. Just like how a little toddler crawls, an old person’s back gradually hunches over time then he goes back to walking as slow as the little kids do. Their way of thinking goes back to being slow like that of a child. They forget little things until they can’t even remember who you are, no matter how important you are to them. Their skin becomes wrinkled. Their body’s defenses start to weaken so they become more prone to different kinds of illnesses. Hearing and eyesight diminishes. It’s the sad truth. Yet as people age, their character still remains in them.

Everyone will age. We, too, will realize that we are going to be old someday. It will definitely come. So let’s not be in a hurry to grow up. Enjoy every moment of our lives. Let’s be happy and live life to the fullest. Let’s treasure the parts in our lives that we are strongest, because life ends just like it started

Post-Performance Assessment

Sitting right in the school's computer lab right now. We just finished taking our first performance assessment test in computer about the parts of the MS Excel window. Cold here! My workstation is two seats away from the aircon. Good thing I brought my jacket.....

Unnoticed Magic

I often find myself staring in awe at magicians whenever they perform. Some claim that their “magic” is real; while others simply say they’re only tricks that can distract people from what is really happening. Real “magic” or not, most of us can’t deny that we’re still amazed and mystified by unexplainable things such as these.

Magicians know how to perform their “magic” very well because someone taught them how. They know what move to make or what to hide because they might’ve learned it from a magic handbook. They need to use materials which often have hidden compartments to trick people into believing their “magic”.

We pay expensive prices to watch these so-called magic shows of the famous and experienced magicians; when we don’t notice that somewhere in our backyards, just behind those bushes...lies real magic.

Ever noticed how caterpillars turn into butterflies? They sleep for days inside their cocoons then after a few days...voila! The little beast turns into an amazing beauty. Nobody tells the caterpillar when or where to spin a cocoon. Nobody teaches it how to make one, either. The caterpillar itself is a magic being.

Spiders, too, are part of natural magic. Nobody teaches it how to spin a web. But yet it knows how to build an intricate piece of art. “Well, who taught a spider? A young spider knows how to spin a web without any instructions from anybody. Don’t you regard that as a miracle?” says Dr. Dorian in Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. Don’t you agree?

First Day Like Any Other

Whoa. The start of another school year. New classmates, new teachers, new things to be frustrated about. The moment I entered our freshly designed classroom filled my heart with glee. Noises. Smiles. Annoying laughs. Ugh. I missed my classmates. I wasn't disappointed with my new Math teacher, either. She graduated from La Salle. Of all the things don't want to happen, the one I really dread is hating my Math teacher. Aside from new teachers, nothing much changed. We talked like we didn't have vacation. It was like a first day like any other school day. =)

School's In!!

Few more days then school's back. I can't wait! Our first day of classes will be on Wednesday. I'll be a high school sophomore. I can't believe I'll be back swimming in the stream of pressure again his year. I'm quite nervous, too. But still, I have to face it. School's back! Looking at the good side, I'll be seeing my friends again and I'll be enjoying. Wait...enjoying??! Kinda...I really miss my best friend. I remember when she was here, we would exchange lettersduring the first day of school. I miss her so much. But what can I do? She's in Korea now. Still....I have to face school with or without her...again. Think I could survive without a true friend? Sure, baby! Wish me luck!!!

I'm luvin': Taylor Swift

I wouldn't have found out about her if I hadn't browsed the songs I got from my classmate's laptop last school year. I heard someone talking about Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on my Guitar", and I remembered getting that song from my classmate's files. I added all Taylor Swift songs to my iPod and I'm luvin them, baby! I would keep repeating the playlist over an over again 'till the lyrics get stuck in my brain and I would suffer last song syndrome. I really loved the melody of "I'd Lie" and "The Outside". The lyrics of "Picture to Burn" and "Our Song" urged me to hit the repeat button on my iPod. Haha, check out her songs, too. You might just love them the way I do.

SPICY!!!

I LOVE spicy food. I feel good about that certain feeling you get when you eat it. When there's pizza or pasta in front of me, I feel like it's incomplete without the dried chili bits or chili paste. I usually add crushed chili or chili paste on my food to spice things up a bit. I don't remember the spiciest food I've ever eaten. All I remember are those tears coming out of my eyes everytime I accidentally put too much spicy stuff on my food. Sometimes I wish it would be that easy to sprinkle something in my life to spice things up a bit. Not that I'm not happy with my life, but I guess I could get by more smoothly with one true friend by my side: which I haven't had the luck to come across with.
