Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone.

have a blessed new year.

and be careful!!

Amazing Race

i was able to watch "Amazing Race Asia" and i enjoyed watching it. it was my first time to see the show(yes, it's the first time).

i really had fun watching the show, and watching the contenders.

i liked the challenges, and the race itself.

the sad part, the Japanese pair(daichi and sawaka) was eliminated.

Stranded

i went to my aunt's house/business place last saturday. the plan was, we would only stay there until sunday afternoon. but things changed. i just got back.

but i somehow enjoyed my stay there. i was able to see my relatives. i became a math tutor there--HAHAHA!!!

The Series

i spent the whole day yesterday watching "The Series"(not the real title) haha.

i bought this dvd for the simple reason that one "person" would have a small part in this series. i found out that this "small part" would only last 46.6 seconds. WOW!! small part = small part.

but the story is good.

Birthday

Happy Birthday!!

it's the birthday of my aunt today.




Nothing happened so i have nothing to write here.

Merry Christmas

merry christmas to everyone. be happy this season.

i had a good time last night. we didn't have time to prepare but it was still a celebration.

i had a good time even though we were not complete. i was able to talk to my sister anyway.

again MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

WOW!!

there were 9 new comments when i logged in. (YEHEY!!!!)

everytime i see a new comment, i get excited for some reason. i like reading comments.

Play and Travel

Play

my friends will be playing paintball. i will not be able to join them since i am here in bicol.

but there's always another time. another time to play and enjoy.

Travel

my sister is in london now. she sent a message to my mom and my mom told us. i think she's liking the place.

i also want to travel the world.

Christmas Celebration

Merry Christmas People.

it's now time to celebrate again the birth of Jesus Christ.

i have no idea what will happen in our Christmas celebration.

someone told me that people often forget the real essence and meaning of christmas. this person said it out of nowhere. i just wanted to share this.

Arrival

i am now in bicol. i haven't slept. (during the trip, i was able to sleep--only 2 hours.)

the first thing i did after getting in the house was to watch DVD. i brought the laptop just to make sure i will still be able to watch.

then i went out. i went to the mall together with my mom, brothers, and other relatives. it was quite an interesting day.

Leaving

i am leaving tonight. i will go to bicol.

i will be spending my christmas and new year there. every year we got there to celebrate.

it is possible that i may not be able to update my blog for the next days. but i will still try to create posts.

Hanging Out

i spent the last two nights with my classmates. since there's little time left, i want to take every opportunity to hang out with them.

Party

last Thursday, we had our Christmas party(school/class). some parents were there.

(side story

my father was not there. he forgot about the Christmas party and went to some place.)

we went to a classmate's house after the class Christmas party.

The Next Night

last night, my classmate(Nico) had a gig. he's the guitarist of a band. the band played two songs. we left after their performance. but we didn't go home yet.

Going Home

gab and i had a hard time looking for a cab. it took us more than 30 minutes. but the advantage of this was we were able to talk about a lot of things.

Adventure

i just went through a great adventure.

Topher, Pao, and I went to Gateway. pao needed to buy something. pao needs to be back by 6. but we still ate, and played, and etc. it was already 6:15 when we left(LATE).

we had a hard time finding a cab. i was really panicking.

i consider it a great adventure for the simple reason that it was a thrilling adventure for me.

more posts to come(maybe tomorrow)

Good Luck To Me

i hope i will do well tomorrow. you all know what i mean. (the DANCE)

our teacher asked us to write 10 reasons why we would be happy this week. i had a hard time ansering for the simple reason that he asked us to think about only this week.

i might share my answers someday. NOT TODAY!! hahaha

i am in a hurry now, so this post will be a short one.

Dance

we rehearsed the dance routine a while ago.

on tuesday, we will present the dance routine. i am nervous but also excited. this will be my first "public performance."

Movie

i saw this interesting movie yesterday.

it was an action film. and i liked the cinematography(i am not really sure if this is the correct word, but i guess it is).

it was an asian film about revenge(i think). and it was good. it was over 2 hours but it was worth watching. i slept late just to finish the movie.

i researched about this particular movie, and i found out that the movie didn't do well in terms of box-office.

one thing i liked about the movie is it's storyline/plot. i don't now if it is common, but the plot caught my interest.

there was a man(let's call him person A) searching for his twin brother(person B). on the night they finally saw each other, person B was shot and killed. person A decided to live the life of his brother. person B was a policeman. while living person B's life, person A also uncovered the truth about person B's killers. he decided to take revenge.

and i will stop here.

Involving Myself In Different Things

i am excited

as of this moment i am part of 6(or 5) contests.

tomorrow we will have the fun run, and other contests. i think tomorrow will be a tiring day. but i know i will somehow enjoy. even our teacher will run tomorrow. i hope i will finish the course in less than 10(or 15) minutes.

a while ago we rehearsed for the dance contest.

i think it is getting pretty exciting. i have one classmate who can really dance. he even has the moves that can entertain the audience.

i don't know why, but people think i am in charge of "one contest"(i have no plans of writing the correct name of the contest). :D

Busy

i was chosen, and required, to be one of the members of the group which will compete in a dance contest in our school. we rehearsed a while ago, and we made progress.

we are not yet done with the steps. we will practice again tomorrow or on thursday.

i also participated in decorating the "christmas tree." it was not a real christmas tree. it was a tree that would represent "Tahanang Walang Hagdan." i am not sure if that's the right name/organization.

i am now trying to memorize a song. at first i thought i would have a hard time. but i was wrong. not that i already memorized the song. it's just that i felt different after listening to it.

tomorrow will be a tiring day. the top 10 runners will run 12 laps around the oval/track. yes, 12 laps. i am not even sure if i can do it.

i already got my card. (no details)

Missed It

last december 8, my sister was here in manila. sad thing was--i didn't have the chance to see her.

she arrived december 8 and left on the 9th, after lunch.

i was on a retreat last saturday. but i was still thankful because my teacher allowed me to use my mobile phone to call her up. she didn't answer though. my teacher said that i could try later that night. i was able to contact her that time. we talked but it was a short conversation because i had to go for an activity--for the retreat still.

the next day, i got out of the retreat place earlier than the others because i had to take the USTET. again, i called up my sister. my sister was home that time, but she was about to leave already. she had to prepare for her flight. bottom line, i really didn't see her.

i wanted to see her but i failed to see her.

i will just wait for her to visit again. :D

but still i am very thankful that my teacher allowed me to contact her. the rule was--all gadgets will only be returned to us on the last day of the retreat.

The Visit

i went to the hospital today. i visited Man Man--he's the classmate i wrote about on my last post. he had dengue.

he's fine now, and i am happy to know that. a lot of people were worried about him. in fact, a lot of my calssmates went to the hospital yesterday. i had to take the USTET so i wasn't able to go yesterday.

he said that he will be out of the hospital by wednesday. but i am not sure if he will go back to school the next day. he needs to rest anyway.

i also found out that every time he had a nosebleed, it would take 30 minutes for the bleeding to stop.

his platelet count is still 20.

he also hasn't eaten a full meal since tuesday last week.

but he's fine now.

Welcome Back To The Outside World

i just came back from our retreat.

i enjoyed the retreat(except for some parts)

we were always full. we were always eating. and i am thankful for that. i brought food but i didn't eat any of it.

i wanted to finish the retreat but i must take the USTET. i wanted to stay.

STORIES(retreat)

the first night i was making palancas for my classmates. i was writing til 12:30. i decided to sleep because i thought my roommate was having a hard time sleeping because of the light(he was not disturbed by the light, he simply couldn't sleep). i still didn;t finish writing the letters.

every time we had a break, i would go the room and write. i was still not able to finish all the letters.

and i also like the times when i talk to other people. it was supposed to be a silent retreat, but we were only silent when someone's around.

in the middle of the retreat, our guidance teacher announced that one of our classmates was "in danger." she said that his platelet count was 20--the normal is 150. we were all shocked; coincidentally, that was the most (if not the only) quiet moment throughout our retreat.

i will continue to write things here tomorrow.

Really Short

i saw a man lying on the street. i wasn't sure if he was still alive or if he's already dead. he met an accident--I'm guessing he was riding a motorcycle when the accident happened since there was a motorcycle almost beside him.

i didn't get to see how he looked, or what his condition was. all i saw was a man lying beside the side walk, near the gate of our school.

a lot of people were looking, watching the police as they attended to the man. i saw an ambulance and a police car.

i just thought that our lives could end anytime.

we really don't know when death will come to us.

we must enjoy life. live life to the fullest as others say. life can really be short.

Tiring Day

Fun Run??

my legs are killing me. after 2 days of "training" for the fun run(which is a "competition-contest" run) my legs began to hurt. but i am starting to feel fine now.

Preparing for the party

i bought everything i(and my partner..... and another pair) will need tomorrow. i bought paper plates, plastic cups, spoons, and forks. i also bought three bottles of soft drinks(1.5 liter). i also bought gifts for my TD kids.

Defense

i bought something today. i will use it during the retreat. and i hope people will not say anything bad about it. side story:when i bought my jacket, some people had a violent reaction. their reason was valid though. it was not because the jacket was ugly, or anything. they just thought that it was expensive. i did my project defense today. i was so nervous. i had no intention to read my whole speech, but i did anyway. i couldn't even look at the class. i just hope i get a good grade for that. i prepared index cards for my defense so i can say that i was prepared for this.

Problem

i don't know what to do anymore. i still don't know what course to take in UST.

the last day of submission of application forms is on December 8--i am on a retreat by that time. the last day for taking the test will be on December 9, i will still be on the retreat.

Christmas In Our Hearts

on Thursday, we will have our TD Christmas party. i am very excited.

we will present something for the kids--we will perform a song for them. YEHEY!!!

we will sing "Christmas in our hearts" by Jose Mari Chan. a while ago, we already performed in front of our TD teacher, and we got the highest grade. (yes, i am proud of this achievement.) i do not like performing though. i get nervous and i literally shake.

here's the lyrics

Whenever I see girls and boys
selling lanterns on the streets
i remember the Childin the manger as He sleeps
wherever there are peoplegiving gifts, exchanging cards
i believe that Christmas
is truly in their hearts

[refrain]
Let’s light our Christmas trees
for a bright tomorrow
where nations are at peace
and all are one in God

[chorus]
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
and a happy holiday
this season,
may we never forget
the love we have for Jesus
let Him be the One to guide us
as another new year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas
be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song
the community unites
celebrating the birth
of our Savior, Jesus Christ

let love, like that starlight
on that first Christmas morn
lead us back to the manger
where Christ the Child was born

So, come let us rejoice
come and sing a Christmas carol
with one big joyful voice
proclaim the name of the Lord!

[repeat chorus 2x]

Be always in our hearts

Just Got Back

the Internet connection at home is experiencing technical difficulties. that's the reason why it's not easy for me to create new posts.

i just came back from "THE TRIP"!!!! i really enjoyed and i wanted to stay longer. however, "all good things must come to an end." (i don't know if the quote is right)

i do not like people taking pictures of me(and i also don't take pictures of myself) but i took a lot of pictures--me and everyone else. i wanted to have "souvenirs" so i took pictures. I'll post the pictures some other time.

to tell you the truth, my body hurts. haha.

we played billiards, table tennis and Frisbee. we swam early in the morning(in my perspective, it was still early morning. we also sang--i sang 4-5 songs!! haha. i brought food, but i only ate some of them--there were so many activities. and the parents of my classmate brought food too-----the baked mac's GREAT.

we will have our retreat--December 7-9. but the problem is, my sister will arrive on December 8. by December 9 pm, my sister will not be here anymore. this means i won't see my sister this time.

i was invited to a "Black and White" party. it will be on December 8. this means i will not be able to attend because of the retreat.

Planned Trip

finally, i will be able to go on a trip with my friends.

we will go to cavite/tagaytay. we will leave friday morning and we will be back saturday afternoon. i want to stay there til sunday though. i want to spend the whole weekend there.

i thought of the things i would want to do while staying there. but i am not sure if i will be able to do everything.

A Different Topic

This is my third post today.

2 days ago, i was surfing the Internet when i found a page about suicide. an actress in one country decided to commit suicide. in my point of view, she was at the peak of her chosen career when she decided to take her own life. it was said that the reason was depression.

then i became interested about the topic.

then i stumbled to another page about another actress who committed suicide. it was also due to depression. the actress was also from the same country. and she was also one of the famous actresses in her country. but aside from these, there was another common factor. it may be a sheer coincidence(and i think it really is) but it was creepy anyway. i won't mention it anymore.

then on another page, i found out about the death of an actor from a different country. and when he committed suicide, someone was with him in the same room. but that person failed to prevent him from killing himself.

and then i thought, "how can these people just end their lives like that?" i know they have their personal reasons, and i have no right to question them. i have no idea of what they went through.

one of my greatest fears(if not the greatest) is death. maybe this is the reason why i feel somewhat uncomfortable reading all these articles(but yes i continued reading anyway).

this post is kind of sad, disturbing for some, or even depressing for other people.

i also feel depressed. i also go through hard times. in fact, all of us do. we experience difficult times. it is up to us how we will react to these situations. and i firmly believe life is a gift.

as of this moment, i still don't know if i will publish this post. but i think i will publish it.

i just want to make something clear, i don't judge these people. i have no intention to make anyone feel awkward or something.

Aspiring Writer

it's a Saturday, the day after the periodical exams. i spent the day lying on the bed.

i am also enjoying the chocolates here.

i am learning new things now. and i just had a crazy idea.

i have been thinking of it and coming up with different ideas. however, i think i will start doing it.

when i was young, i liked writing things. and now, for some reason, i want to write again. and i already have lots of ideas. i even have the titles already(looking/making titles really take time, for me at least). i really find it hard to find the right title.

knowing myself, this attempt may not be successful. the time will come that i will be too lazy to continue this. i think i am just a little excited of this new found interest(not really new found, but who cares). other things will come up, and i may forget everything about this excitement. but there's also a chance that it will be successful. this blog is still active. i think it says something--i can stick to something. as i mentioned before, before creating this account, the most successful(it wasn't a success, but let's call it that way anyway), account i had lasted only two weeks. but this account is already on it's fourth month. so yes, there is a chance that the attempt will be a success.

whatever happens, i will still try. it's just for fun anyway. a past-time. something i will do in case i don't have anything else to do. or if i am in the right mood.

i am not really counting on it but i think i will give it a try.

Purpose

it has been ages when i last read the blogs of other people. i really became busy. but i was able to bloghop a while ago, and i realized it is really interesting to read the blog entries of other people. it's nice to know the stories of other people.

let me share one post i read.

it was about purpose.

no two people in this world have the same thumbprints. this is because we have different purposes on living.

i got this from a blog entry posted by one famous person.

we have different roads to take. some people realize the purpose of their living earlier than other people. many people "formulate" their dreams at a young age.

i don't know what my purpose is. i don't even have a plan on what to do in the future. i don't know what i want to do in the future. i just hope i'll realize it before it's too late.

First Time

while staying at the hotel, i went to the bar.

i had a fixed perception of what the bar would look like, what kind of people i would see thare, etc.

but it was different. honestly, i found the place very relaxing. there were a few people in there. there was a band playing. i was sort of surprised. i liked the atmosphere there.

by the way, i only drank iced tea. don;t get the wrong idea that i drank alcohol there.

this is the fourth [ost for the day. i am really catching up. haha.

Goodbye for now

my sister already left. she left at 1:20 a while ago. she only spent a few days here.

right after taking the exams, i went straight home. i wanted to say goodbye to her before she left.

i also found out that she wouldn't be here in time for my graduation. she wouldn't be able to make it. the graduation date is march 30; and i think she will be here april or may.

before she left, she bought a bag of Butterfinger(YES!!!) for me. THANK YOU!!!!

Welcome Home

My sister arrived last tuesday. she had a flight here in the philippines.

now this is the reason why i was not able to study for the exams yesterday. i was with her the whole day yesterday. she needed to buy some things and i accompanied her.

i got tired, and i didn;t have the "strength" to study.

i didn't go home too. i spent the night in the hotel. after getting in, all i did was lie down since i really felt tired.

we planned to have dinner but we didn't have much time to do that. she needed to do some things.

there were a lot of changes in the plans.

It's been a while

it's been a while since i last posted here. i have been VERY busy. i spent last weekend doing the final compy of my research paper.

this week we have our peridical exams. as of this moment, we're through with Physics, Math, and Filipino. i had a hard time in Math, mostly because i didn't study/prepare for it. i was at the malls yesterday(Math exam "happened" a while ago). if you want to know the reason why i was out on a hectic week, read my next post.

i plan to make many many posts now. i need to catch up since i didn't post anything for a week.

tomorrow i will take the English and TD exams. i am not in the mood to study. i'm guessing i'll spent my time doing other things(like creating posts. hahaha).

List

Physics long test tomorrow.

Math Long Test a while ago.

English Research Paper on Monday.

CAT Exams Tomorrow.

Periodical Exams Next week.

Low Grades.

Many More.

..................................................................Welcome to HELL!!

Photoblog

for days, i have been trying to create a photo blog. i wanted to have a post where there are a lot of pictures in it. i wanted to share pictures of "The Eastwood Escapade". but there's always a problem. this and that. i will try again next time.

it was a Thursday, the last day of school before Sem Break. we went to Eastwood to enjoy ourselves. we wanted to play bowling but the lady said that the bowling alley was reserved. the funny thing was, we found out that the people who reserved the place were the teachers in our school. i was shocked and amazed when i saw them.

i searched the net for some interesting trivia about different people. i enjoyed it. and also because of this i remembered something.

Pictorial

a while ago i had my pictorial for my graduation pictures. i didn't like the results. the pictures were not really good. one reason why i didn't have good pictures was that the photographer left in the middle of the pictorials. another person replaced him, but the one that replaced him didn't fix our poses, unlike the first photographer. and during the creative shots, he took pictures of me while taking off my jacket (i wanted to take off my jacket for my next pose). worse, i think he considered it as one of my four poses. i should have four poses, but i only did three. bottom line, i didn't like the pictorial, and my pictures.

Recording

i am now a recording artist

haha. just kidding. i just recorded a song for our music project. it took us 9 hours almost to finish the whole song and record it. there's one certain line that i can't perfect. i always commit a mistake when singing that particular line.

IP

i am the one assigned to make our Investigatory Project(IP). HASSLE!!!! it's already 1 in the morning and i am still wide awake because i can't finish this report.

i was about to write a long post but i need the time to finish my report.

Tomorrow

tomorrow, we will have our recording for our music project. i hope i can do well.

and i also need to budget my money. i spent almost half of my allowance in one week(on the first week).

i am craving for some things now but i need to save my money. i must not fall in to temptations.

also tomorrow morning, i will go to a place and buy something. hahaha!!! i will go there before going to the recording.

Very _________

Dinner part 2

after eating dinner, my father asked our maid to buy food for me. so technically, that was my seconed dinner. i am already gaining too much weight. i need to burn these things. when i told a classmate of mine about this, he said that i should be thankful since i am able to eat. there are people who don't have anything to eat. but i also think that eating to much is the right way to show one's appreciation towards food.

Bloghopping

i visited one blog and i really liked one post there. it's about people wanting certain things while others try to not have the same things. for example, white people want to be tan, while tan people want to be white. there were some quotes that she wrote in that post. one was, "you always want what you can't have." another one was, "you can't have it all."

after reading this post, i read the comments. and Oprah said(according to the comment i read), "you can have it all, you just cannot have it all at once."

it's just a matter of perspective. and we must learn to appreciate all the things we have.

Palig

Palig is a tradition in our school. it's where all students of high school work on different things. for first year they have their sabayang pagbigkas(choral recital??not sure how it' transalted in english. haha) for second year, they have their dulang panradyo(radio play). for third year students, they have their dulang pangtanghalan(play) and for seniors, we have documentaries. our group(i didn't do a lot of things for our group but it's my group anyway. haha!!!) made it to the finals. and a while ago, we won first place. YEHEY!! i admit that i wasn't much of a help, but at least we landed first in the Palig.

School

i just realized that i need to do A LOT of things. SCHOOL RELATED THINGS. i am now looking forward to our christmas break. our sem break just ended but i want to have a vacation anyway.

and 2 weeks from now, we will have our periodical exams. i need to do everything i can to make my grades better.

Composition

i am now doing another song for another music performance. i am only making the lyrics of the song.

Mr. Payaso

a classmate of mine composed a song entitled, "Mr. Payaso". for non-filipino viewers(if there's any) payaso means clown. i like the song.

Ahh!! Stress!!!

i am really having a hard time logging in here. i think there's a major problem here or something.

i was able to make another song(lyrics only). some people helped me. but the song i wrote is nothing compared to the song a classmate of mine made. the song's really cool and i like the song. it was composed a year ago(sources said. haha) but i only heard the song this year.

i am really tired. all week i have been encountering different problems. schooland other things. one thing that i find really weird is the thought that someone is wishing to do something evil to me. not that i'm getting paranoid or what, but there's something wrong. no need to mention the name. but this person is acting like someone who owns the world(cliche line, but that's the way i see this person).

i am happy, sad, depressed, excited, etc. i really don't know what to feel because i am going through a lot of things now. i want to stop the clock and take just a short break.

i watched something yesterday, and one line struck me. it said something about, "there's not enough time to enjoy happiness, why squeeze sadness into it." it's not the exact line, but it has somewhat the same meaning. the idea is that life is too short to be sad or depressed. we must enjoy our lives, and keep on being happy. i agree with the statement.

Problems

i am having a problem uploading pics. i can't update the TD blog.

i hope our teacher won't give us(me and my partner) a failing grade. i borrowed a card reader, only it couldn't read my memory card.

i had a very bad day today. i won't give the details anymore. but i didn't enjoy this day.

Interesting Day

i think i had a great day today. some unexpected good things happened.

i got the highest score in our English long test(waaaaaw). totally unexpected. i even thought i heard the wrong name.

then we had an early dismissal. i think we only spent less than 10 minutes in our last subject. YEHEY!!!

i was able to create a post/blog entry in the TD blog.

i enjoyed my dinner. i ate out. for some reason, my father told me to eat out(he didn't give me money though. hahahahahaha!!!!!!)

but there are also two things which i didn't like.

first, the Internet encountered problems while i was uploading the pictures for my TD blog.

second i was not able to watch my DVD. i hoped i would be able to watch many parts today, but it took me a while to finish(truth is, it's not yet finished) my blog entry(TD blog).

this is the first day of school after the sem break. i still don't want to go to school. i just want to lie down and enjoy my day.

My Thoughts, and Feelings, etc

i have been having problems logging in here. i am having a hard time posting. WHAT'S HAPPENING??????????

a classmate planned a "practice" today. but all we did was play, eat and fool around. we didn't do anything related to the project. this situation is not new anymore. this has been the way ever since. i think i will be more surprised if we did something related to our project.

i just realized that i would soon be leaving this paradise. it's already Friday(truth is, it's already 1:30 am,Saturday). sem break will end soon. i am not yet ready to wake up early again. attend classes. or do anything related to school. i am very comfortable now. i wish this weekend will not yet end. i am still enjoying this vacation. i am sure that i will be busy again.

there are a lot of things going on my mind right now. so many that i don't know what to feel. i don't like this feeling. i guess i am thinking too much.

after the "PRACTICE"(if one can call it a practice), i walked all the way to the station. i didn't go there directly. i wanted to take a long walk. i decided to pass through different places. i liked the walk.

i wish i had the power to clear my mind even for just a day. or even for just an hour. i am getting tired of thinking about different things. it seems like i worry too much.

i never had dreams--meaning what i want to become in the future, what i want to do, etc. but now, there are a lot of ideas in my mind. there are now a lot of things that i want to do. MOST of them(if not all of them) are UNREACHABLE. i know these things will never happen, but i am enjoying the thought of these ideas.

Tired

this day

i was out for more than five hours. yesterday, i was out for less than three hours.

i think i need to get used to hanging-out again. a while ago, i got tired after a few moments of walking. it's understandable since this was the first time i walked after quite some time. for the past few days, i spent 20 hours of a day lying on the bed. maybe this is the reason why i felt walking was something difficult a while ago.

when i went out yesterday, i was sitting most of the time(most?? i was sitting the whole time. except when i walked to and from the mall. and when i bought my DQ.) don't get me wrong. i was doing something while sitting. i was not sitting down for no reason.

if you are wondering what i did yesterday in a mall(especially because of the fact that i was only sitting down), you may keep on wondering. try figuring it out. haha.

I Went Out Of The House

the trip was cancelled. now i am hoping to find another plan. one that will push through.

i went out of the house today. haha. this was the first time i went of the house to go to a mall. i have been spending most of my time watching movies. it felt good. i saw the "outside world" again. i am thinking of going to some place tomorrow.

i ate DQ again. YEY!!! i tried to experiment again. it was great. i really enjoyed it. haha!!

i watched a movie a while ago(Internet). after watching the movie i felt something. i think i was moved by the movie. haha.

i think i will get sick. my head hurts.

Whole Day

all i did today was watch dvd.

i spent the whole day watching and lying down.

my classmates and i are planning an outing. BUT there's a big chance this plan won't push through. but i am still hoping.

i'll tell the details next time.

Sem Break

i feel really exhausted. after all those projects, long tests, lectures...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

finally it's sem break. i can relax and enjoy my time.

but, i don't have plans yet on how I'm going to spend this vacation. worse part--i have no money!! BAD TIMING!!! haha! i have a feeling I'll be a home buddy this break.

in case, i'll have no plans, i'll just watch movies.
i also have to catch up with my posts here.
.

One More Day

it's been a really busy week. i can't make a long post right now.

i wanted to post many things, but my school work didn't allow me.
now i forgot all the things i wanted to write about.

Things to do:
Religion Brochure
Lab Report(I'm not doing it anyway)
Individual Reflection
Music Lyrics(a new composition)
and
ENGLISH RESEARCH PAPER---AT LEAST 7 PAGES

in addition, we have long tests.

HELL WEEK!!!(3 days actually! hahahaha!)

tomorrow's the last day of hardship. on thursday, we'll have teachers' day. 10 minutes per subject! YES!!!

and we don't have classes on friday. SEM BREAK!!!!!=VACATION!!!!!

The G2 Bombing

The Accident

yesterday, a bomb exploded in G2 in Makati. 9 people died(as of this moment) and a lot of people were injured.

on my way home, i noticed that the security guards of Gateway mall were inspecting the bags of the people thoroughly. i never saw that before. it took one accident for the guards to really do their jobs. it took one accident to make the mall owners realize that they do need to secure the safety of their malls, and the lives of the people.

because of this, my parents didn't allow me to go out of the house.

all i did today was watch DVDs. i still enjoyed this day. i like watching my DVDs.

Chance

i think i didn't do well in the interview for the exchange student thing. i feel so embarrassed.

2 performances in one day

MUSIC

we got a perfect score in music. YEHEY!!! but the didn't like the performance(but we got a perfect score anyway). haha. this is the first time i sang in front of many people. i was nervous. my cheeks were shaking involuntarily.

INTERVIEW

during the interview, one panelist asked me if i could sing. i sang the chorus of Jeepney by Spongecola. one of the panelist liked it since she's a fan of Spongecola. but that's the only good part of the interview. everything else...................................................!!!!!!!!

I'm not counting on it anymore. at least i tried.

as Mark Twain said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than the ones you did...."

but i still hope i will be chosen since i really want to go to Japan. you know that. haha

MATH?!?!?!?!?!

tomorrow, i we will take our second long test in math. i need to get a high grade since i did't do well in the last quiz.

Research Paper

i didn't know that making a research paper's difficult. HASSLE!!! i need more information about my NGO.

Uh-Oh

Will i pass the interview?



I hope so. hahaha!!


Goodluck to me!

Short Post

it's time

tomorrow-- the final presentation in music. we need to get a high score here. haha.

it's our turn

i want to join the exchange student thing. i want to go to Japan--it's free, hahaha.

december 8-21, 2007--will i be in japan during these days?? i hope so!! haha!

i'm in a hurry now. sorry.

The Visit

The Visit

a while ago, i visited 4 of my students in TD as part of the TD Home Visit--with my partner Nico.

Thank you to Glenn and Patrick for being the TOUR GUIDES for the day.

the first house

we first visited Dariel. but her parents were not around so we only spent a few minutes there. we met her cousin though. we told the cousin about Dariel's performance in class.

Dariel just came from the church when we came to her house.

the second house

we next visited the house of Glenn. the parents of Glenn were very accommodating. they were really kind to us, and they really welcomed us to their home. they even bought snacks for us. they talked to us and we told them about the progress of their son, Glenn.

main point, they were really kind.

the third house

the third house we visited was the house of Eugene.

we found Eugene playing with other kids. i think he was shocked when he saw us, or not. hahaha!!!

the mom of Eugene was also very kind to us. she also welcomed us. i even have a picture with Eugene, his mom, and his sister. we had to force her sister though. but it's a good thing that the sister of Eugene agreed to join us.

in Eugene's house, there were 3 dogs. they were somehow wild. haha. i am scared of dogs, you know that. haha!! but they made sure that dogs wouldn't attack us.

the last house

the last house we visited was the house of Patrick(also called Neil). we were not able to go inside their house but i had fun still. his mother was really funny, making jokes and telling amusing stories. she even told some stories about Patrick.

when we said that Patrick always recites in class, she was shocked. then she said that Patrick always sleeps in class--not in our class. haha.

we were not able to visit the other kids--AC, Liezel, Joshua, Rhea. maybe next time.

the whole time i was laughing and smiling since i was too shy to talk. haha.

it was fun. i didn't expect the home visit to be a fun experience. at first, i thought i wouldn't have a good time. but i did.

One Happy Day

i left the house at 10:00 since i had to get something. I'm the only one who can claim it since it's my name that's written on the paper.

while attending to the COMPLICATED thing, my uncle sent me a text message telling me to go to Shopwise Cubao at 1:00. i was at SM North then. i wanted to borrow something from him, and it was the time i must meet up with him.

after getting the thing, i went home to leave the thing. i met up with my classmates first, but i still had to go home to leave the thing so i went home and met up with them again.

we must go to TriNoma for the SEP reunion(and i am not a SEP member, but i was invited though. yehey.)

here's the thing

House-SM north-Shopwise-Gateway-House-Gateway-TriNoma

TriNoma

here comes the happy part!!!

at first, i was feeling nervous. but it turned out to be a HAPPY DAY!!

we first watched a movie--Kung Fu Fighter. after watching the movie, i heard them saying that they didn't like the movie. but it was an "ok" film for me, but i thought it was a comedy film(i read it somewhere).

we ate--i can't remember the name of the place. the food was ok. but something caught my attention. THE FISHBOWL iced tea. iced tea placed in a huge glass.

the best part i guess: CAROUSEL!! it was my first time to ride a carousel. the funny thing was we rode the carousel with little kids. haha. i tried to make my first carousel ride memorable so i tried doing crazy things. haha.

there was this man--he was taking a video. i was wondering what he was thinking while taking the video. there were kids, then there were big kids. but i had a good time.

then we just sat down. talked. took pictures.

then we walked. then someone(not sure who it was) suggested that we say "Hi" to a complete stranger, and make the stranger say "hi" to us too. some of us did, some of us didn't do the dare(i did not do it).

there were some things i didn't mention here. but i guess the main point of this post is to tell everyone that i enjoyed the day. i had a fun time-- a great time.

i am happy.

i am planning to make another post--with the pictures taken a while ago. i can't upload it right now since i don't have the pics yet.

Can't Log In

i was not able to log in for the past 2 days since blogspot was down,for some reason.

practice

we had a practice a while ago. so most of my day was spent practicing.

but before the practice we ate at _______(let's leave it blank). my classmate got irritated because of the poor service. he even complained to one of the waiters. i found it amusing though. i don't know why, but i really laughed while this was happening. i just didn't think that my classmate would really complain.

we even asked for the bill several times. and we still had to wait for the change.

just saw another funny movie

i watched a movie(again, thanks to youtube). it's a comedy film and it's really funny.

i also found out that one of my classmates already saw the movie. we both agreed that the movie was funny.

again

i have been using chopsticks ever since the day i bought a pair of chopsticks. but yesterday, i used spoon and fork again. haha. it's no big deal. but i just realized that it was my first time to use spoon and fork again.

yesterday, the class had a celebration. we ate at Gerry's Grill. some of my classmates celebrated/will celebrate their birthdays this October.

TRINOMA DAY

tomorrow, i will go trinoma. it's a reunion thing. (truth is, i am not a member of the class. but i was invited since i was always in their classroom and other outings. haha)

DEATH NOTE

i now have a dvd of death note. my classmate gave it to me. i watched the first 16 minutes of it. i think i'm going to like the movie. but i stopped since i wanted to watch it on a day when i have nothing else to do. haha.

DVDs can make me happy

i was somehow irritated yesterday. but after i watched my DVD, i forgot all about the event that irritated me. i was smiling. i felt good. haha.

Addict

i bought chocolates today. haha. and i plan to eat all before 12:00 am. haha.

For the past few days

i have been surfing the net. i have been looking for movies, songs, blogs, and different stuff.

movies: after surfing, i make a list of the movies that i think i will enjoy watching. it's a long list now. i need to save now!! haha.

songs: i try to download the songs. but so far, i only succeeded once. haha.

blogs: i enjoy bloghopping. i can read the thoughts of different people. i can know the different stories of their lives. and i now know the blogs of three celebrities. funny thing, it took me a while to realize that i was reading the blog of a celebrity.

Home Visit

Sunday is the day. we will visit the homes of our TD kids. it's a good chance to know the kids more. we will also meet their parents.

The Plan:
time: 1:00
place: school gate

we will meet up with some of the kids. these kids will serve as our guide as we go to their houses.

i am both excited and scared. i just hope the Home Visit will be a success.

To The October Celebrants

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! there are a lot of people celebrating their birthdays this month.

SEM BREAK

i thought i will experience the same routine this sem break. but i think there's a change of plans.

every sem break, i always go to bicol. but this year, i think i won't go there. if i go there, going back here may be difficult.

now i need to know how i can spend this vacation. i have been asking some of my classmates about their plans this break. but i still have no plans.

Change

i want to change the layout of this blog. but i don't know how. i have seen blogs with cool layouts. i hope i can have a good layout.

i think this is my longest post.

PS: I am HAPPY. haha. this has no connection to anything in this post. i just wanted to say that.

After School Happenings

PERFECT

yehey! we got a perfect score in our music graded rehearsal. it's serves as a proof that we are the best crammers in our class. i made the song last night and my groupmates only heard the song minutes before the presentation.

Movie

I watched a movie--thanks to youtube!!! but, i don't think i watched the whole movie since i found out that the running time of the movie must be 122 mins. but i only saw around 100 minutes. i saw the credits, which means there are some parts in the actual movie that i didn't see.

but i found out later that the movie had a running time of 99 minutes in Canada. but i am not sure that the movie i saw and the movie shown in canada's the same.

Dinner

I AM FULL!! that's all!! haha.

Stranded

while waiting for the food(we were in a restaurant), i went to the washroom. i locked the door. when i was done i unlocked the door but i was not able to open the door. it was unlocked already but the door won't open for some reason. worse part--i knocked!! after a few minutes someone opened the door. i needed someone from the outside to open the door. haha.

Stupid Me

i went to the mall with some friends. i told them i was going to buy a dirnk, and when i did, they disappeared. what's funny is i tried to look for them. i saw someone wearing the same uniform as mine, so i thought that i had found them. but i later realized that i only saw my reflection on a mirror. hahaha.

i only realized that i was looking at my reflection since the person i saw also had the same bag as mine. hahaha.

Fully Loaded

2 hours of sleep

4:00 am- i slept
6:00 am- i woke up

i only slept for two hours. i am sleeeeeeeeepy now, but i have things to do. i have to make a lesson plan for my TD class. i need to finish composing a new song for our music class. i need to read 5 chapters of a book for english.

the reason: i watched DVD until 4:00. yes, i spent the night(night?????) watching DVDs. i wanted to finish watching the DVDs so i stayed up just to watch. but i don't regret it. i enjoyed watching it. i really enjoyed seeing it until it ended. i think it's a great one. so i don't regret staying up until 4:00 just to watch it.


New Song

i am making a new song for our music class. the funny things--the day of presentation is tomorrow. how will we practice the new song. tomorrow's performance is only a graded rehearsal(whew), but it will have an impact on our final grade.

i made a shorter song. but i think i like this song better.

Weekend

on sunday, we will have our home visit.

Reasons

i was not able to post a new entry for the last few days because

1) i got hooked by the DVD i was watching. it was really entertaining.

2) everytime i will use the computer, my brother will come to tell me he needs to do something.

3) some things made me busy.

The Contest

tomorrow is the day. i will have to represent my class in a contest. i need to find a replacement before lunch time or i will have to go to the contest.

Sleepy

i was about to create a post a while ago when my brother used this computer.

now i'm sleepy. i will just post tomorrow. i don't think i can think now. all i want to do is sleep. i will sleep(after i finish downloading a song. haha)

i just hope i don't forget the things i want to write.

ok, i'll write something.

i will fix the songs in my ipod before sleeping. i will delete some songs and add ONE song.

that's it for now.

Plans

Jacket Mania

i bought a jacket, only a different one. different from the one i told you about. some people suggested that i must not buy that particular jacket. they said that it's not good to buy a big jacket.

i found a black jacket. i also like this one. it will really help me feel warm during these days.

but after i bought his, i realized i spent almost all of my allowance for this month.

i'll try to post pics. (maybe some time next week....or never...haha)



The Trinoma Day

on october 13, i will go to trinoma. The Problem: i don't have enough money!! i have to save.


Study Study Study

i must study harder. something happened a while ago that made me think that i must do better.

Today Is The Day

Reading of Honors

finally, i made a "comeback" in the honor roll. yehey!! i am just happy since the last time i received an honor card was in first year. i'm now a senior. it just feels great.

Meals

as celebration, we ate at Teriyaki Boy. that was around 3 o'clock. that's my dinner already. (early dinner, huh?) after that we had coffee, and after a few minutes--DAIRY QUEEN! Rocky Road blizzard with extra butterfinger toppings!!!!!

It's cold

i think i will finally get a jacket. it was last year when i decided to buy one, but i always spend my money before i could buy it. but i think i will really buy one now, since it's cold. i can use it during these days. it's little big for me though. but it's the last jacket.

This Post

High

i think i'm on a high since i was able to watch a very interesting film. it's a japanese movie about a teenager who became an undercover agent. this is the first time i watched a japanese film. i have been looking for japanese movies but i can't find any. good thing my classmate has a DVD. :D!!!! i like the movie.






the main character of the movie is played

by Aya Matsuura.



The pics were taken from the net.






ME???

i was chosen to represent the class in a competition. it will be extemporaneous speaking. i will make a poem--on the spot--about a thing that will be shown to me. i have to speak for three minutes.

Hearing and Typing

i listened to a song and tried to type the lyrics of the song in english alphabet. the song is not english. i wanted to memorize the song but i couldn't find the correct lyrics of the song. because of this, i decided to make my own lyrics. all i had to do was to listen to the song and write the words i was hearing. it's not easy.

this blog should have been posted yesterday, but i got disconnected. i was not able to connect again.

End of September, Start of October

2 DVDs added

based from the title, it could be assumed that i bought 2 new DVDs. but because my work is keeping me busy, i can't finish watching the DVDs.

i want to watch everything now, but i'm having a hard time doing that. i try to watch the DVDs everytime there's a chance. i think, i will finish the DVDs during the weekend--or next week. i may have a busy schedule this weekend.

One Classmate Leaving

On October 20, one classmate of mine will be leaving for Canada.

The Month of Rosary

October is the month of Rosary. this is also the month when we are required to wear october medals. it becomes part of our uniform.

One of a Kind Dinner

Last saturday, i ate a 16oz blizzard from dairy queen. that's all i had for dinner. i didn't eat anything else. added trivia: i ate ice cream three times that day. breakfast(yes, breakfast), snacks, and dinner.

Random Thoughts

Composition

we have a project in music that will be presented next week. and we must present an original composition using bamboo instruments.

i wrote the lyrics of the song. i wanted to make the whole song but i don't know how to put the tune, rhythm, beat, etc. this is not my first time to make a song(lyrics at least).

Movie

i watched a movie. it's not a popular movie. i just borrowed a dvd of the movie from a friend. it was about a man who entered a seminary. while in the seminary he met a woman. and in the end he needed to choose between being a priest or to be with the girl.

i liked the part where they sang and danced in the church.

Christmas Countdown

it's almost october and 87 days before christmas(i think). they say the christmas season starts in the -ber months.

(trivia: i can't think of a title for this post)

Student's Life

ATENEO WINS

the score was 65-64 in favor of Ateneo, of course. But the best part was, all of us had one box of pizza EACH. family size. i didn't eat all of my pizza though. i was full already and there was still 4 pcs of pizza left. but before the game ended, i ate two more. i had 6 slices all in all. but also because of this, i will not eat dinner tonight. i am still full.

the next match will be on sunday. who will win? wait 'til sunday. haha.

Home Visit

Home Visit is part of our TD class. On October 14, 2007, Sunday, my partner and i will do the Home Visiting. we will go to our students' houses and spend time with their families. we will get to see the lives of our students outside the school. (for those who don't know, in TD, we teach public school students. we are their tutors.)

Research Paper

we are now doing a research paper about NGOs in the Philippines. we already started but i don't think i'm on the right track. i'll just hope that i don't mess this up. it's a major requirement, and i must do well in this project.

LONG TESTS

we already have lots of long tests now, even though we only started the second term 2 weeks ago.

my life--student's life. projects, tests, etc. but always remember to relax.

3D: Dvd, Dreams and Dog

i was supposed to create a post yesterday, but i failed to do so. now i forgot what i was about to post yesterday.

DVD

i was able to borrow 2 DVDs from my classmate. the best part--COMEDY. i like watching Comedy shows/movies. it makes me smile/laugh somehow. i want to just smile and laugh all my life. everybody wants to be happy.

Dreams

anybody can dream, right? yesterday, while walking, i thought about different things. things i want to accomplish before i die. (of course, how can i do these things if i'm dead?)

in case you are wondering what my dreams are, you can keep on wondering. hahaha!!!! as of this time, i still keep my dreams to myself. except one--i want to go to JAPAN!! haha. that's not a secret.

Dog

because og the dog bite, my parents got worried. a while ago, i decided to tell my parents that i got bitten by my classmate's dog. (after 2 days i told them--hey i still want to live! haha.) there was a death scare so i told them. people had been telling me things about dog bites, things i didn't want to hear. hahaha.

All In One Day

DOG ALERT

Martee's dog bit my hand. It's somehow funny since the dog bit me after Martee assured me that the dog doesn't bite anyone. I was playing with the dog when the dog bit me(ironic, huh?). I promise I will never play with him(the dog is a male one). He used to be my favorite dog. haha. I am scared of dogs but I thought this dog was different, until a while ago.

REPORT CARD

I couldn't believe the grades i saw in my report card. This works in both positive and negative ways. The last time I received an honor card was when I was in first year. I didn't get any honor card when I was in second year and third year. But now, I am happy to say that I am getting an honor card in the next Reading Of Honors. The sad part is, my teacher in Media(for some reason) gave me a B in conduct. Because of this, I will not get a conduct award. ADDED INFO: A lot of my classmates got a B in conduct in media. It makes me wonder. haha.

WASTED MONEY

I went to the shop where I buy my DVDs. But i was not able to buy anything. (for some reason i can't tell. hahahaha.) But to explain the heading, I spent some money to go there. It was wasted since i wasn't able to buy anything.

Meeting

i met with some of my classmates today. the plan was to compose a song for our music project and to make a powerpoint presentation for our music class.

BEFORE THE MEETING

11:00 am, my classmate called me up and told me to go to my classmate's house.(they are two different classmates) he told me to be at the gate of La Vista. i thought that maybe they'll pick me up there. or that the house was near the gate(it was not my first time to go to that house, but it was my first time to go there alone). when i reached the gate, my classmate sent me a text message with the address. i was in La Vista but my classmate lives in LGV. i had to walk from the gate to my classmate's house. the worse part, i got lost. after a long walk, i finally reached the house.

DURING THE MEETING

we didn't do the projects. we just played basketball. we played 21. after 3 rounds, we played a game, 2 on 2. we won. hahaha. i was supposedly the time to make the project but the plans changed.

AFTER THE MEETING

i was able to borrow a movie from my classmate. and after getting home, i watched the movie.

Events

The Party

i just arrived home from a party. it was not the usual party i attend to, since it had a different crowd, not the one i used to hang out with. but i still enjoyed the party. it was a celebration of the birthdays of different people.

UST Entrance Test

i am not taking the test, but goodluck to USTET(is this the right term??) takers. i have a friend who will take the test today(since it's 12:53 am).

3-day Weekend

it's a 3-day weekend. the report cards will be released on monday. this means no classes.

FOB

Fall Out Boy had a concert last Thursday and Friday. i didn't have the chance to watch it. some of my classmates were lucky enough to watch the concert. some people, including myself, wanted to watch the show but failed to.

Something Different

TD

So far, this is the worst TD tutoring day of my senior year. There's no need to know the details.

New Music

i am now listening to songs that are different from the songs i have listened to before. songs that are not english or filipino.

i am also watching the music videos. the videos are interesting.

i recommend you listen to the songs of other countries, watch music videos of other countries since, somehow, it will give you an idea about some things about the country.

Bad Day, Good Day

Round The Clock

BAD DAY

6:20 - I woke up late. i wanted to wake up early since i had things to do.

7:00 - (estimated time) I left the house. it was raining. i had 3 bags and i have to carry an umbrella. i decided to ride a cab but i can't find any.

8:00 - (estimated time) after 1 hour, i decided to just ride the LRT(it's like the subway here)

skip some parts

8:50 - i finally arrived in school. 1 hour five minutes late. 10 minutes before the end of the first subject. but i still had to get a late slip. and because of the rain, my pants got wet. good thing the prefect allowed me to change my clothes. i wore my PE uniform.

8:55 - 5 minutes before the end of the first period. i entered the classroom. upon entering, all my classmates looked at me, wondering why i was wearing my PE uniform and shocked since i came in 5 minutes before the end of the first period. when i reached my seat, i found out that i had no chair. the teacher couldn't continue his lesson beacuse of me. he just asked me to sit on the platform in front of the room so that he could continue with his lesson.

9:00 - we had a 5 minute break. i went to the covered courts to look for a chair.

10:40 - we had a test. i got one mistake because of carelessness. i knew the answer but i wrote another letter.

1:20 - (estimated time) my english teacher returned some tests. when she called my name, i got up, but i almost fell because i tripped- i tied my chair to my table, and because of this i tripped.

4:00 - (estimated time) i bought food-McDonalds. i ordered quarter pounder meal with sundae. it was a take out order. i took the food and went to a computer shop to play games with my classmates. while playing, i decided to eat the sundae. however i found out that there was no spoon in the plastic bag. i had to run again and get a spoon from McDonalds.

i will stop here.

GOOD DAY

9:25 - we had a test in Math. i think i did well on that test.

11:15 - it's judgment day. it was the time to test our balloon-powered race cars. to get a perfect score, the car must travel at least 5 meters(yes, the rules changed). my car was able to travel 8 meters--someone blocked my car so it stopped. but i still get a perfect score.

notice that there are only 2 things written under GOOD DAY. i hope next time, there will be more things written under GOOD DAY than BAD DAY.

but as kristoff(topher) said, think positive. (not the exact words, but the same meaning)

maybe, it's really a matter of perspective.

Different Things

Yen





i now have 160 yen. a classmate gave it to me--pao. i can use it when i go to Japan. i really hope i can visit that place. i have the following coins:







100 yen,












50 yen,
















10 yen

DVD

i finished watching another DVD! i watched the DVD before working on my project. it was interesting. but the "watching" continues. i have one more DVD to watch. (ONE MORE??-TIME TO BUY MORE DVDS)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Last Saturday, September 15, a friend celebrated his birthday--Ned. But the party never stops. He invited us a while ago and he celebrated his birthday again. he treated us--PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!! rich kid!


AN UNEXPECTED CALL

around 5:30 in the morining, my phone(mobile phone) rang. it was my sister. she asked about the entrance test i took last saturday, my studies, my life in general, and other things.

RELEASE OF REPORT CARDS

On monday, our report cards will be released. NO CLASSES!!!

Stampede

A while ago, pao-my classmate who went to the states-went back to school. He arrived here in the philippines last week but it was only a while ago that he went back to school.

He brought 2 giant bags of candy and chocolate. And after finding out that he had those sweets with him, my classmates rushed to my table to get some candy and chocolate. The bag was put on my desk(my desk is beside the desk of pao now). It was like a mini version of the ultra stampede, only... there were less people and the people were rushing because of sweets.

This post was supposed to be long. But i think the computer is experiencing a problem.

Maybe tomorrow, i'll post a longer one.

Finally

i don't have to worry anymore about the ACET. there are many things i worry about. it's a good thing that one of them is gone.

but there are still a lot of stuff to do. most of them are related to school.

good thing watching dvds can help me relax.

that's it for now.

After 3 days

i was not able to post for 3 days( i think).

but now, i am back!!!!

free day
i was busy the last few days. our exams just ended, but i don't know why i am still busy. now, i feel tired. all i want to do is relax. good thing there will be no classes tomorrow.

i wonder what i'll do tomorrow. i have an appointment tomorrow, but i think it will only take me an hour or 2. maybe i'll think of something tomorrow.

the big race
for our physics class, we need to make a baloon-powered car. to have a passing grade, the car must travel 5 meters. to get a perfect score, the car must travel at 20 meters. to beat the record the car must travel more than 50 meters(i think). the sad part is, i don't know how to make one.

saturday
this saturday, i will take the ACET. goodluck to all the takers.

first performance
4 weeks from now, we will have our first performance in music. we have to use bamboo to make the instruments we will use for the presentation. aside, from making the instruments, we also have to make a song.

Mixed Feelings

1 vs 100
A while ago, I was watching 1 vs 100. It's the new game/quiz show of abs-cbn hosted by Edu Manzano.

The player(or "The One" as they call it) was Mariel Rodriguez. She won 440,000 pesos. She took the money instead of the MOB(the 100 people to beat in the game) after seeing the next question.

The funny part was, while playing she was moving and moving(teasing the MOB, i guess). While she was dancing she tripped and almost fell. Good thing she was able to hold on to the bar.

back to the philippines
My classmate who went to the states is coming back on wednesday.

music
For this term, we will have music classes. Last term we had media. I am a little nervous because of the upcoming music classes. I like listening to music, and I like all kinds of music. This is not the first time I'm gonna take music classes. But I think music will be harder this time. We will have two presentations.

learning
Weeks ago, I started studying three languages. But now, I am also trying to study different things about the three countries. I listened to their songs(I needed english translations though), watched some videos, and researched about some things. It's good to learn and witness things about other countries. I have this dream of going to different places and countries. I want to explore the world and I can start with learning some things about other places using some books and the powerful internet.

Happenings

getting used to some things

A while ago, my mom left and is now on her way back to Bicol. She started to live there when I was in grade 6. But every vacation(sem break, christmas, summer), we go to Bicol. She also visits us from time to time. It's not that bad.

I remembered when she first left. It was very hard for us since we were used to having her beside us all the time. All of a sudden she's leaving. But as the time went by, we slowly got used to it. It has its benefits anyway.


EXAMS!!

Also a while ago, 3 exam papers were returned--English, Religion, Math. But my grades are CONFIDENTIAL!! haha.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Mother Mary.

acet

On September 15, many students will take the ACET-Ateneo College Entrance Test. Goodluck to all the takers. Let's just do our best. haha.

Done

Great!! in my previous post,(the one with the title: Changing My Perspective) i talked about the two books i was able to read in one day. one of the books was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. but i never mentioned about the other book. i focused on The Alchemist. Now, it's time to talk about the other book.

The other book was Catcher In The Rye.
The author of this book is J.D. Salinger.

It is about a young man and the life he had as a student, and as a person. The main character, Holden Caulfeild, had a sister named Phoebe. I find Phoebe amusing, especially in the last parts of the book(because it was only in the last parts that Phoebe had major appearances. haha).

But, the thing that amazes me now, is that a while ago, i learned that we are supposed to read Catcher In The Rye as part of our English class. When I read this book, it was only for leisure. Now, it is a requirement. But i am done. Haha.

Tapos na ang Paghihirap

kanina, last day na ng exams. Physics ang final test namin, pero ang labo. noong simula ang bilis ko sumagot. biglang nung last page na, nahirapan na ako.

pero ayaw ko na isipin yun.

plano at sinabi ko sa sarili ko nung monday na 500 lang gagastusuin ko sa week na ito, exam week naman eh. pero kanina nagkayayaan kumain sa t-boy. napagastos ako. thursday pa lang pero lampas na agad sa budget. haha. pero ok na rin. busog naman ako eh. sulit naman. totoo nga hindi ko pa naubos.

have a good meal and enjoy!

After One Month

after one month, my account is still alive. yesterday, september 4, my blog turned one month old. this is one big achievement for me. this is my first online account that reached one month. i am now looking forward to many more months and even years of this blog.

Hell Week
this week is our exam week--tuesday, wednesday, thursday. yesterday, we had math(very difficult test), and filipino. a while ago, we had religion, and english. tomorrow, we will have physics.

i watched a video a while ago, and i want to share it with you(whoever reads this blog/post)
i find it amusing. maybe you will find it amusing too. (just maybe)

And Another Goodbye

last sunday, umalis na ang aking ate. 1:00 pa lang ng madaling araw nandoon na kami sa airport--hindi naman dahil sa na-eexcite kami, pero maaga kami para kung sakaling may problema, may oras pa para ayusin. after 6 months pa namin siya ulit makikita. pero ok na rin yun, dream job niya yun eh.

Paalam

kanina, umalis na ang isa kong kaklase--si pao. pupunta na siya sa US at doon na maninirahan. pero babalik naman daw siya muna dito sa Pilipinas para tapusin ang 4th year. (pero kahapon, sinabi niya na hindi na siya babalik, kaya hindi ako sigurado kung ano ang totoo)

kanina pa pagpasok ko, nakakita ako ng isang "pao"--may drawing na mukha na may nakasulat na "pao". nakapolo rin na kakulay ng uniform namin. may "pao's jug" na isang cardboard na pinaikot at kinulayan ng violet. at may handle rin. haha.

Nakakabaliw

kahapon pimunta ako sa Megamall kasama ang nanay ko at ang kapatid ko. habang namimili yung ate ko ng bag(kasi nga aalis na siya) umalis ako para magbanyo. nagtanong ako sa isang janitor, "kuya, saan po yung banyo."

at ang napakagaling niyang sagot, " sa restroom."

anong klase yun? kung sa inyo nangyari ito, anong gagawin niyo?

kanina naman, NCAE namin. ang simula noon ay 7:00. at dahil uliran at dakilang bata ako, dumating ako 7:45 o 7:50. 45-50 minutes late ako. 10 na kami nakauwi kahapon at mga 12 na ako nakatulog. umalis ako sa bahay 7:05- 7:10.-- oo nasa bahay pa ako nung nagsimula ung NCAE.

yun lang naman ang mga nakakabaliw na pangyayari kahapon at ngayon.

Pahabol

after quite some time nagkaayos na kami ng kapatid ko. nag-away kasi kami nung april pa. haha. nagbati na kami nung birthday ko pero ngayon lang talaga naging maayos. at naiiyak pa yung ate ko kasi na-miss daw nya ako. niyakap nya ako. after ilang months, naayos na. ayaw ko na i-detail. basta yun yung thought.

malapit na sya umalis, natanggap kasi sya sa isang trabaho. sa saturday na alis nya kaya mabuti nlng na naayos bago sya umalis.

to my sister: goodluck sa trabaho. matagal-tagal mo ring pinangarap yan. at ngayon nangyayari na ang mga bagay-bagay ayon sa gusto mo. see you kung kelan man tayo ulit magkikita.

(by the time na mapost ko tong entry na ito, malamang hindi pa alam ng ate ko ang tungkol sa blog na to. pero isasama ko na rin ung message dahil malalaman rin naman nya ang tungkol dito.)

Changing My Perspective

nung monday, nakabasa ako ng 2 libro, isa sa mga to ay ang the alchemist. wag nyong isipin na mahilig akong magbasa. wala lang talaga akong magawa kaya nagbasa nlng ako nuong araw.

"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."-Melchizedek, The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho

isa to sa mga line na nabasa ko. at nagustuhan ko to kasi madalas kong maramdaman na parang gumagawa ng paraan ang mundo para hindi ako mag succeed sa kung anumang gusto kong marating. kaya nung nabasa ko to, tumatak agad sa utak ko. baka kaya laging may failure sa buhay natin kasi hindi pa tayo handa na makuha o marating un. baka paghahanda lang lahat ng failures para mas masarap ang pakiramdam kapag nakuha na natin ung gusto natin. balang araw, magtatagumpay rin tayo sa pag-abot ng ating mga mithiin. haha.

Walang Laman ang Pondo ng Pinoy

two weeks pa bago matapos ang August at 300 nalang ang pera ko. pano ko mabubuhay? hindi na ko makakakain. alam ko nagtipid ako nung first 2 weeks pero hindi ko alam kung saan napunta ung ipon ko. malas.

kanina, imbis na maglaro nang matagal ng counter strike kasama mga kaklase ko(halos every tuesday, since hanggang 1:00 lang ng tanghali ang pasok, maraming naglalaro ng cs after ng classes), umalis ako agad. 21 pesos nga lang nagastos ko--nagtitipid ako. haha. sumabay na lang ako sa isang kaklase na paalis na. tapos tinulungan ko na lang siya gumawa ng mga flags(kung yun man tawag dun), para ilaban sa isang contest bukas--isang contest na may kinalaman sa Buwan/Linggo ng Wika.

pero balik tayo as topic ng pera. haha.

bakit ngayon pa ako nawalan ng pera? NO PARENT WEEK pa naman sana. haha. hindi ko maeenjoy to dahil wala naman akong pera. sayang!! pero ganyan talaga ang buhay.

Bagong Record

sa wakas natalo ko na ung record. sa mga hindi nakakaintindi, ang record na sinasabi ko ay kung gaano katagal mananatiling active ang isang online account sa akin. ang dating record ay 2 weeks. at dahil nagpost ako ngayon, ito na ang bagong record holder--2 weeks and one day na ang blog na ito. haha. one day lang ang lamang. pero wala pa naman akong balak na huminto sa pagpopost at paggamit ng blog na ito. sana nga tumagal na to. gusto ko rin magkaroon ng online account na magtatagal.

--------------------------------------------
isang pangyayaring nakapagtataka

kanina, habang pauwi ako galing sa mall, may isang bagay na nangyari. bigla akong nangiti. hindi naman masama ang ngumiti pero wala naman akong nakitang kung anuman na makapagpapangiti sa akin. naglalakad lang ako at bigla nalang akong ngumiti. ang masakit pa, hindi ko mapigilan. kahit anong gawin ko, ayaw mawala nung ngiti. nagmumukha na akong baliw-- dahil mag-isa lang ako habang naglalakad nang nakangiti.marami pa naman akong nakakasalubong na mga tao. at dahil hindi ko mapigilan, nakaisip ako ng isang ideya--isang paraan para hindi ako magmukhang sira ulo. nilabas ko yung cell phone ko para kunwari yun yung dahilan kung bakit ako nakangiti. haha, mautak!! sa kalagitnaan ng pag-uwi ko, may naisip na naman ako. at yun ay tumakbo pauwi. siguro hindi na nakita ng mga tao kung nakangiti man ako o hindi dahil tumatakbo na ako. nakabibilib naman kung may nakapansin pa nun kahit na kumakaripas na ako ng takbo. (oo nga pala. malapit lang yung mall sa bahay namin kaya pwedeng takbuhin.)

hindi ko mapaliwanag at hindi ko alam kung bakit yun nangyari pero ok na rin yun. mas mabuti nang masaya kaysa malungkot. sana nga (mas) sumaya na ang buhay ko at ang buhay ng lahat ng tao sa mundong ibabaw.
