here i am again...nagging about not having a free weekend.
im attending my classes once again and im half glad in doing so.
only half because mrs. calces told me that we might not join in the national competition for the valed quizbee. so sad...
but on the brighter side, im so happy to spend the whole day with my friends again...wee!!!!!!!
yesterday, i went to karla's house to help her fix her manuscript fot the intel science fair. after hat, we went to sta.lu to meet our bandmates. luck didn't srike us so we chose to call the meeting off without any practice.
so at around 4 pm, nova, paul, karla and i went to sm taytay. it was my 1st time to enter the new establisment. actually, it's really small and we saw the whole place in less than an hour. we had snacks and went home.
i finished reading harry potter and the deathly hallows. the story really nice! mind you, i was able to finish the whole e-book in three sittings. that's why, im thinking of getting new eyeglasses because im not satisfied with mine anymore. haha.
going back to hp...jk rowling really did a nice job in finishing the story. although the last part's not told in detail, she made her readers feel satisfied with the outcome of the long awaited sequel to the other harry potter books.
that's all for now. :)

passing by
im so sorry if im not able to update this page regularly. i know that it lacks all those cute effects and everything so i really appreciate all your visits.
anyway, im so busy with the upcoming regional science fair, *sigh* and im drifting away from the world. yeah, you read it right. it seems that for so long now, im trying to make my world as small as possible...making lesser connections with people and minimizing certain contacts with friends. i know this is not right but i dont know what else to do.
i dont know why but my focus right now is the things i need and have to do. i didnt notice that in the process of doing so (of improving myself), im losing everyone.
ang labo noh? :(

back again
well, im here to obviously update this page of mine. but what to say? what to say?
the u.n. celebration has just eded and our batch wasn't so happy with the results. i won't discuss it anymore but how i wish the system will be fair next time. it's sad because it is in the school that students learn good and bad things alike and the thing that happened a while ago is not so good.
but i'd still like to congratulate my batchmates for putting up a great show. especially 4pat! hahaha. am i being too biased? :)
anyway,i'd be so busy again for the next few days because of the regional science fair. i hope aila and i will win.
bleep! that's all for now! ;p

after some time
it's been quite a long time since i last published a post. and so many things have happened.
aila and i won second place in the division science fair. i was really surprised. i didn't expect to win because i lacked preparation and there are so many typographical errors in the manuscripts i submitted.
now, im excused for the valed quizbee. and 2 and a half weeks of preparation is NOT ENOUGH. what with so many books to read and many moral issues to understand. *sigh*
moreover, i don't know how i will comply with all the requirements. i just wish that my teachers would be very considerate.
tomorrow, i will be meeting with nana, ate lea, kuya carl and rayson for a discussion about witchcraft, focusing on the effects of harry potter on people at the university of asia and the pacific.
well, i just hope that everything will turn out fine after the quizbee and the periodical exams. which reminds me, the exams will take place the day after my quizbee. waaah!!! but our coach, mrs. calces, agreed that we csn take our exams during or after the sembreak. *SIGH*
on the 26th, je-anne, monica and i will be coming back to assumption to witness this year's intramurals. it's been a long time since i set foot in my alma matter. and i really miss it. yay! im excited!
that's all for now...kuya mj might kill me because im abusing some yecs privilege he's given...tc!

off the hook
i took a break from school today even though it's a monday.
thank God my mom understood that i need some rest and additional thinking about the mess i did during my acet.
i took the ateneo college entrance exam yesterday morning considering the fact that my brain is already over fatigued and stressed because of the events of the past week.
i came home from the regional science environmental camp held at cavite last friday afternoon. the following day, i went to tip for a whole-day seminar. it was mental and physical torture, i know. but i didn't mind because i know that what im doing is also for my own benefit. and at that time last saturday, i didn't know that im already saying goodbye to my dream school since elementary.
so sunday morning came and my mother and i arrived early for the acet. i was so tired that i didn't even think of my usual techniques during my review at lsc.
as expected, the time allotment was insufficient. i missed several questions in all the non-computation part. i didn't even think of shading one of the circles of the questions i missed. stupid me! hindi naman right minus wrong ung exam, hindi ko pa nilubos ung opportunity. hay.
and that's what's bothering me since yesterday when i joined my mom in the parking area. i want to get into the top 15% because i want to pursue my first choice of course. oh and by the way, i even made a big mistake in my acet application form! three of the four courses i checked are quota courses which means i need to get into the top 15% of the acet takers. my second choice, interdisciplinary studies, a non-quota course, is my big mistake. i shouldve made it my fourth choice even though i got the idea that i would land there if i didn't make it to the upper 15%. ah basta...ako lang ata nakakaintindi ng mga pinagsasabi ko dito. ;(
on the brighter side, i won third place in the writing research proposal contest at the envicamp!yeepee! it was supposed to be a team category but i was the one who made our group's proposal. hehe...and i was recognized as the third best presentor! *applause* haha. auti na ko.
my study is also qualified to join the division science fair. *applause again* auti na talaga ako. haha.
guys, this is one of the best examples of self-torture. so if you want to experience it, im telling you...forget it. chao! :D

absorbed
the following days will be very bury for me. really busy.
it actually started yesterday when i joined the seminar at TIP. it was all about powerpoint stuff and i was half bored. im not boasting or what, but i already know all about the things the speaker was talking about. powerpoint presentation basics kc. but anyway, i never thought that TIP would be that big because they only have a small gate. nevertheless, the school has complete facilities and can accomodate a large number of students.
today, i should be focusing on my research paper for the sci fair but i chose to take a break. haha.
so aun. tomorrow, mga last minute ecklavoo ang kailangan kong gwin.
on the eleventh, i will have my oral defense demo for the juniors and seniors in the morning and will set off for cavite in the afternoon. not to mention that it is also the local science fair. im glad to have aila as my partner. *sigh*
the envicamp will end on the 14th and then i have to attend for the second part of the seminar at TIP the following day.
on the 16th, i will have my acet and fortunately, i was given a 1-week break. plus, i can still attend the olymphysic competition because it was moved to september 24. aside from reviewing physics, i also need to prepare for the valed quizbee which will take place on october. whoo!! good luck to me! hahaha.

off my path
this post is a bit sad. so im advicing you not to read it if you're looking for something to cheer you up.
i hate goodbyes. it sucks.
iyakin pa naman ako.
i was listening to the speaker during the presscon this morning when i heard my phone ring its usual message tone. i was surprised to read sir jr's name on the screen (nkkta kc agad ung sender sa sony ericsson). so i opened it. i had a sudden rush of blood through my heart when i read his farewell message.
he's leaving for i don't know. he doesn't want us to know. he told me that it would be on monday. he's final message for me was:
aww. ill surely miss him. panu ba naman...hindi kumpleto ang bawat physics class kung walang joke o kwento. mas madami pa yata kming nilalaan na oras sa katatawanan kesa sa pag-aaral. moreover, i love our physics classes before the upcat because sir jr is feeding us techniques for easier, reliable and better mathematical computations. he calls it "sisiw", which stands for the shortest solution in the world. haha. andami ko na ngang sisiw dhl sa knia eh. :)
on the way home, i thanked him for giving me a grade i don't deserve. well, 91 nga lang pero alam kong hindi ako deserving dun sa grade na un. khit na isa ako sa mga contestants sa olyphysics chorva sa tip.
aun...nagreply c sir at nagkadramahan sa text. kinulit ko pa para sagutin ung mga tanong ko. kaso nung tinanong ko kung san sya pupunta, sa abroad lang ang sinabi nya at monday na rin ang flight nya. wah! ang bilis! ang bilis talaga! tapos nung tnext nya ung pinaka-farewell nya, naiyak ako. pucha! nasa jeep pa naman ako nun!
honestly speaking, he's one of the best teachers ive ever had...hay. im not looking forward to physics every morning anymore. buti na lang excused na ko sa monday. baka maiyak lang ako kpag hindi ko makita si sir jr na pumasok ng classroom pag physics na. ='(

a little trivia:
when the first tear that leaves your eyes comes from the right, it means joy; but when it comes from the left, it's sadness.

long long story. bow.
it's been a while since i updated this blog of mine. so bare with me if this will be quite a long story.
to start with...
intrams
yay! we definitely dominated the school.
under the sun, the riscian seventh batch cheered the players in their respective sports. we didn't think of our opponents as novices in their fields (actually, the freshmen really showed something).
kya lang, hindi nmin masyadong kinareer ang individual events. we focused on the team sports. fortunately, may place ang seniors sa bawat sporting event.
yeepee! congrats batch 7!
tour
i expected it to be totally fun. kaso may mga bagay talaga na hindi inaasahan...pero okay na rin kc we were given the chance to explore and enjoy with our friends.
we first went to the museo ng katipunan. im not really fond of visiting such places kaya hindi ako masyadong nag-enjoy. pero nakakamangha talaga ung miniature katipuneros pati na rin ung iba pang tao na nkdsplay. heehee. db, arna?
after the museum, we to the bio-research sucat hypermart. there many interesting stuff in there but i don't like the idea of carrying a fish placed in a plastic bag wherever you go. haha. kaya in the end, binigay ko kay carlos ung fish. buti na lang nanghingi si emil kaya gumaya si carlos. aun...actually, kasama ko si arna. picture galore kami. hehe. bumalik na kami sa bus tapos...argh! lowbat na ung cam ko! wala pa kmi sa ek. huhu.
sa ek, i went with my friends. andun din c arna. tagal ko na rin hindi nka-bond ung best friend ko. hay...
anyway, it was the highlight of the tour. kso hindi ko na ikkwento ng buo kc bka lalong humaba tong post ko. ;p
home
it was the first time i saw my mom in terrible pain. physical pain.
grabe, ayoko siya makitang ganun...hindi ko kaya.
im hurting now because of her. hindi ko lang alam kung pano ieexpress.
our family needs help in prayer...
connections
bkt ganun? kapag ok kami, hindi kmi ok ni alter. pero kapag ok kmi ni alter hindi kami ok...
i realized that you can't really have everything you like. ang ewan kc. bigla nlng ngging ganun kht ayoko.
aun. back to him, binati ko sya nung birthday nia. i was half expecting na hindi sya magrereply kc gbe na. hinintay ko talaga ung midnyt para batiin sya. tapos bigla syang nagreply. nagkatext kmi. tapos naramdaman ko ulet un...ung unexplainable feeling of extreme comfort. kso bago pa lumalim ung usapan nmin, naggudnyt na ko. at around 1am, ngtxt sya. eto ung exact words:
kmusta nman un? redundant pa! haha. anyway, ayoko na sanang maniwala sa kanya. buti nlng, it was a very busy day nung monday.
kaya lang kahapon...nagkatext ulet kmi. nag-unli ako para sknia. naicp ko lang bumawi dun sa mga araw na hindi ko sya nirereplyan. panu ba nman, upcat ko pa sya huling tnext. at eto nanaman si unexplainable feeling. sya lang nkpgpagaan ng loob ko. sknia ko lang nasabi lahat ng pasanin ko, at pinapabalik nya ako. xmpre as a friend...
naramdaman ko ung loneliness nia lalo na nung ngkwento na sya. kya lang, kung alam sna nya ung kabilang side nung story, mas maiintindihan nya ang mga bagay2.
at aun. ung other side ng story ang pumipigil sken. ayoko na tlgang maniwala sknia eh. kso para syang magnet. kya iniicp ko nlng ung mga buwan na nahirapan akong mag-move on tska ung "need" na cnsbi ni arra. fortunately, nakapag-isip ako ng mabuti. ill be there for him but not totally. hindi na mababalik ang dati. hindi n din cguro ako "babalik". masaya na ako khit pano. contented and stronger. thanks to you.

hold my hand
i was inspired by a friend's post in her lj account.
she's right.
we often see friends holding each others hands. as if it's one of the ways to assure him/herself that he/she has someone to hold on to. funny right? you'd often see them in kids.
but as people grow up, there would usually be less physical contact with their peers. sad truth.
there will be less holding of hands, less hugs, less kisses.
why am i actually saying this? it's because i don't want to experience it. para sakin, physical contact is a way of transmitting your feelings to another person. wala lang.
i'm actually losing grip of everything in my life.
my friends, my studies, my family. my connections with other people are slowly fading. i don't like it. yet i can't do anything about it.
please. hold my hand. and never ever let go.
sorry if this post is a bit sad. i'll make it up to you the next time.

by the way, CHEERS TO THE SENIORS on thursday!!! :p

for a friend
like i promised. eto na un arra...
**********
meron akong isang kaibigan. matagal ko na rin syang kilala. elementary days pa.
tandang-tanda ko pa, close kami noon. kulitan dito, kalokohan don.
sad to say, kasabay ng paglaki ay ang paghihiwalay naming dalawa. may kanya-kanya nang grupo. gumuhit ng isang linyang tila nagtatakda ng hangganan naming dalawa. ewan ko ba. bigla na lang nangyari. hindi ko napigilan.
malaki na kami ngayon. may sarili nang buhay. magkaiba na ng kapaligirang ginagalawan.
isang araw may natanggap akong text message. nung una, wala lang.
musta na? eto, ok lang naman. blah. blah. blah.
nagulat ako nang bigla syang tumakbo papunta saken. hindi ko inaasahan ang pangyayari. umiiyak sya at may problema.
sabi ko pa nga, "alam mo? ang sarap mong batukan!"
oo. batukan. ang sama ko noh?
ewan. cguro nahihiya lang ako. hindi ko alam kung pano sasabihin na "halika nga d2. d2 ka lang sa tabi ko para hindi ka masaktan."
pero sa kakulitan ko, tingin ko naman, napatawa ko sya khit pano. sana nga.
sana nga nagawa ko yun sa isang kaibigang dati ko ring iniwan. na ngayon, ayoko nang iwanan.

ewan. cguro nahihiya lang ako. hindi ko alam kung pano sasabihin na "halika nga d2. d2 ka lang sa tabi ko para hindi ka masaktan."
pero sa kakulitan ko, tingin ko naman, napatawa ko sya khit pano. sana nga.
sana nga nagawa ko yun sa isang kaibigang dati ko ring iniwan. na ngayon, ayoko nang iwanan.
upcat. and more. :)
yesterday was such an experience. uhm...quite.
i had my upcat in the morning and i don't know if i could pass the exam. hay. i wish. ;)
after the exam, my mom and i went to tondo to pay our relatives a visit. they are from my father's side. ang saya grabe! haha.
pero may tanong ako... bakit kelangan pa mgng pinsan ang isang lalakeng wafoo? hahaha.
marees and i met at puregold. tapos we went to their house. aun, kwento kwento. chika chika.
i was sitting on the antique chair (it's actually a table being used as a chair), when rj entered the house. aww! ang wafoo nman! hahaha. he saw me. nagjoke pa na magmamano. nagbless muna xa sa mga elders (kela momi, tita ran, tito mel at tito marlo) tapos tumabi sken.
tapos...binato ba naman ako ng unan??!!!! my good! sapul ako sa mukha ah! xmpre, bawi naman ako. hehe.
so much for that.
edi nagkwentuhan lang kme ng mga latest na pangyayare sa buhay.
at eto ang punchline ni tito rommel:
haha! ang benta ng tito ko! hmm... sabagay, may point xa. :))
aun...madalas mabanggit ang upcat, college at ang aking debut.
mas excited pa ata cla saken eh. hehe.
**********

mac arthur
ive just finished reading bob ong's mac arthur. it was released recently and i'm telling you,it's really worth it.
he really captures my heart when it comes to imparting messages in a different way. this time, ong told his young readers of what life would be when you lose grip of everything in your life.
the story is about four teenage guys who are addicted to drugs and are inclined to stealing. as the story goes on, each of them encounters a problem and eventually, one of them dies.
i won't go any further than that. just read it. haha. hindi talaga kayo magsisisi. :)

"Dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung di mo pagtitiyagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi."
hell days
these days have been extraordinary to our batch.
requirements here. requirements there.
review this. don't forget that.
the upcat reviews are finally over. and today, half our batch had already faced the up college entrance test. i'll be one of those tomorrow's victims. i'm not nervous but i'm quite uneasy. alam ko kc na whatever i answer tomorrow would shape my future. *sigh* i hope i can do it.
aun...so after the upcat, whether we like it or not, we have less than two days to accomplish our clearance. my good! (sabi nga ni cecil) next thing we know, tapos na periodical exams. tapos intrams na pala. taapos defense ko, three days after, tour na! shocks! may ncae pa kme.
goodluck talaga samen. hay...
**********
wala pang intrams, injured na ko. haha. nasipa ako last thursday while having our bbol practice. ouch! pilay ang reward ng konting kcyahan.
pero aus lng. debbie spent the night in our house. tinuruan ko xa ng mga bagay na namiss niya sa review. aun, khit msket and paa ko, masaya pa rin nman. :)

birth number
i actually got this from a friend's blog. it's so much fun! haha.
i got a one and it's quite true.
check out yours! just don't forget to leave a comment telling me what you got. ;p
your birth date can describe who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. it also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. to figure out your birth number, add all the numbers in the birth date together, like in the example below, until there is only one digit. a birth number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be, it may just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.
example:
march 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973
1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
keep going until you end up with a single digit number.
2 is the birth number to read for the birth date in the example.
======================
#1 THE ORIGINATOR
#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
#4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 THE ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL
#8 THE BIG SHOT
#9 THE PERFORMER
======================
**********
# 1 - THE ORIGINATOR
1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as
they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them.
Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.
Famous 1's: Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, Raquel Welch.
#2 - THE PEACEMAKER
2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy they should learn to
boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.
Famous 2's: President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopee Goldberg, Thomas Edison, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
# 3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.
Famous 3's: Alan Alder, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Karen Roundbutt, Salvador Dali, Jodi Foster.
# 4 - THE CONSERVATIVE
4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.
Famous 4's: Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, Oprah Winfrey.
# 5 - THE NONCONFORMIST
5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and they make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusion.
Famous 5's: Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail.
# 6 - THE ROMANTIC (my birth number)
6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their actions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.
Famous 6's: Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, Goldie Hawn.
#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL
7 's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets.They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.
Famous 7's: William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana.
# 8 - THE BIG SHOT
8's are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss! They should learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.
Famous 8's: Edgar Cayce, Barbara Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, Nostrodamus.
#9 - THE PERFORMER
9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune! and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.
Famous 9's: Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley.

i have to accomplish my acet form (with that essay)...*sigh*
i need to attend dance practices.
i have to pass different kinds of reports for some organizations i belong to.
plus i have to get ready for the upcat.
*sigh. sigh. sigh.*
after all these, i can already call myself superwoman.
i'm actually encountering some problems about my schedule. i don't know how to balance it anymore. i'm considering dropping the cheerdance.

after a long time
it's been a while since i published a post.
and in that span of time, i've grown into someone i didn't expect myself to be.
first things first.
last june 30, joan celebrated her birthday at the scrapyard resort in angono.
we met at jollibee in angono and headed straight to the venue. joan was a bit sad because among the many people she invited, it was only casono, jann vince, my sister and i who made it.
it was almost 11 in the morning and we were losing hope that the others would still come. when out of the blue gatchi and chari showed up telling us that the others are waiting in the entrance. joan's face lighted up. everybody had so much fun.
it's nice to see people who are not really close gathered together to make someone happy. and since that swimming party, i've made bonds with a few people from my batch whom i've never thought of being friends with.
**********
last weekend, 120 riscians were given the chance to participate in this year's leadership development program. it's an extraordinary experience for me.
i met students from other year levels and together, we did the activities prepared. i won't describe it in detail anymore.
basta, it's sooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!
**********
back to the present. haha.
i'm so proud of my batch. we've set a new trend for the whole student body. (but take note! even the teachers and the facilitators during the ldp were following/copying us!)
so...everyone in the seventh batch is speaking in english. with the my dear before almost every sentence or statement. in addition, we also have a unique way of saying the words because of the tone we're applying. haha.
it's such a busy week by the way.
we had so many things to do and accomplish. (what with the many cet forms to finish?! sama mo pa ang research *sigh* haha.)
and by just looking at our calendars for the month of august would send a chill down your spine. we have a very hectic schedule! (goodluck seniors!!!)
**********
forgive me for this very long post. i wasn't able to publish a post for a very long time naman eh. hehe.
yesterday ended with a shock...well, for me it did.
i've experienced losing a parent and it's not nice.
my aunt and uncle (i'm related in blood to my aunt...i call them mama and papa.) are considering the idea that they should already separate. i won't tell the reason anymore since this is a public blog. but i'm really saddened by the thought.
i don't want them to separate because of some reasons.
first, they have children who need them.
second, i've already experienced living in an incomplete family so i don't want my cousins to experience it too.
third and most important of all, i'm so close to them and i love the two of them very much.

loaded weekend
i've just had one of the most loaded weekends of my life. plus an i don't know how to describe it monday.
i had a very tiring saturday with my family. we went to school for the pta meeting. and since i was one of the chosen dance troupe members, we were asked to perform a special number. (ok nman ung knlbasan kht pano, to think na hpet at recycled ung steps na gnamet. hehe.)
after the whole pta meeting, we had lunch at jollibee (no choice. hmp.) and went to mandaluyong to meet one of my mom's friends.
after which, we went to morayta to visit the wife of my father's cousin. oh such a good person tita jessy is. even though we're not really related by blood, she's one of those angels sent from above.
while walking along recto, i felt something wonderful. my mom was holding my hand while walking, and i felt an unexplainable feeling of security. it's really wonderful...a mother's love. then we did some shopping and headed home.
monday. oh monday. *sigh*

hectic week
like what the title suggests, this week's a hectic one.
the seniors org conducts a meeting everyday after dismissal. (hay...kyo kya mgkaron ng cpag na presidente.)
i've been dancing nonstop since wednesday.
i have to fulfill my duties as a class secreary.
have to study. have to do so many homeworks. blah blah blah.
but a nice basketball session with my fellow dormers simply completes my day. hehe. (i can't use smilies whenever i'm using the comlab's connection because it takes so much time to download smiley central. hehe.)
really tiring, eh?
and to sum it all up, i'm a candidate for sore eyes.
wah! i woke up with my eyes aching terribly and when i saw my reflection in the mirror, i was anxious about the swollen area in my right eye. my fellow dormers asked if i cried the night before and i told them i didn't. the red parts just appeared over the night. *sigh*
after being excused because of the tiring dance practice, i might find myself confined to our house tomorrow. *sobs*
**********
yes!!! i'm over *** atlast!!!

i have to fulfill my duties as a class secreary.
have to study. have to do so many homeworks. blah blah blah.
but a nice basketball session with my fellow dormers simply completes my day. hehe. (i can't use smilies whenever i'm using the comlab's connection because it takes so much time to download smiley central. hehe.)
really tiring, eh?
and to sum it all up, i'm a candidate for sore eyes.
wah! i woke up with my eyes aching terribly and when i saw my reflection in the mirror, i was anxious about the swollen area in my right eye. my fellow dormers asked if i cried the night before and i told them i didn't. the red parts just appeared over the night. *sigh*
after being excused because of the tiring dance practice, i might find myself confined to our house tomorrow. *sobs*
**********
yes!!! i'm over *** atlast!!!

ala lng. just need some updates in here. haha.

it's complicated
that's how i'll describe the week that has just passed.
it was really hectic and busy that a 20-minute break should be considered a reward.
tuesday.
it was independence day and yet, we're confined to our classroom cramming for the usual start of the year decorations. because there's no camaraderie yet, our section's output turned out to be mediocre work.
as usual, we regretted almost all the news given to us during research time. it was that precious part of our day devoted to the serious stuff we should be doing.
the rest of the tiring day went on in a fast blurr and before i could stop time, it was already...
wednesday.
it was the deadline for the submission of the upcat forms.
almost everybody in our batch were anxious about the courses they would like to take in college. some were shouting at each other, giving advices and suggestions as to what course they should take. many are engaged in serious conversations about college life. i can say that it was the day devoted to up. and up only.
btw, the courses i chose at upd were bs math and bs administration and accountacy. i chose bs math because there's a major in the course that my mother would like me to take. it is called actuarial science. it is quite complicated and obviously, uncommon. my second choice is my friends' idea since i can't choose another course suitable for me.
my second choice of up campus is the one in los baños. there, i chose bs math and chemical engineering. why chemical engineering? well, i once had a knack for chem even though i was a little discouraged in the latter part of my third year.
after class, joan, raye and i went to jollibee to have our dinner. unfortunately, heavy rain poured from the gray-colored sky and we were stranded for quite some time. although it was still raining heavily, we hired a tricycle and asked the driver to bring us back to school. (lakas! hindi kme nagpaalam para lumabas...kahit sa guard!
) bute na lang, kahit medyo makulit ung driver at inaaway ni joan, wafoo!!! 
thursday.
it's a busy day. most of my time was devoted to the decorations of my tle quiz notebook. as in kinareer ko tlga. haha. but i really enjoyed.
after class, joan and i decided to go out and play the guitar. my sister joined us a few moments later. it was beyond 6:00 and most of the student body are on their way home. rayson approached us and the two of us had the chance to talk. umalis kc cla joan at raye para maglaro ng bball.
i realized how time went so fast and how distance feasted on us. we had a nice, long talk. kamustahan, sharing of secrets. nakakatuwa lang kc 1st year pa kme nung huli kming nag-usap ng ganun ni rayson. ganun pa rin c kuya. thoughtful and caring. hehe.
we slept late. ay...early pala. hahaha. mag 1:00 na nang mapagod c joan sa pambubully. haha.
friday.
actually, it's also quite a day. we had a quiz in both math and calculus. at pinairal ko na naman ang kabobohan ko. hindi ako nag-aral ng calculus para lang magawa ung tle portfolio. tsk2. bobong ecka. kaya i promised myself never to sacrifice one subject again just for the sake of another.
after dismissal, we decorated the seniors org bulletin board. most of the designs were a combination of mine and carlo's ideas. (doink! kaya nga project manager eh, db? gets mo? project manager! haha.)
debbie and i went home together.namiss ko talaga ang alter ego ko. kaya todo kwentuhan kme.
rayson joined my sister and i in tikling. pagkababa ng jeep, ayan...kwentuhan ulet. haha.

sa lahat ng malungkot, ngiti naman!!! hahaha.

cracked
i don't know why this image caught my attention. anyhow, i want to dedicate(??tama ba ung word?) this to my bestfriend and to my other friends as well.
oi ikaw batang mataba...hahaha. sana mabasa mo to. medyo tinamad kc ako sa friendster kanina kaya dito na lang.
hmm...katulad ng sinabi ng message sa taas, andito lang ako lage. alam mo naman un db? minsan nga lang mahirap mahagilap...
onga pala, tama na ung sinasabi mong pagkukulang o pagbawi...kaibigan ako, hindi obligasyon...*smile*
the changes happening around and between us are unavoidable. tsaka masaya naman ako kapag nakikita kitang masaya dahil alam kong matagal mong hinintay ang bagay na yan.
wag ka na mxdong mag-alala, ok? ang akin lang naman, alagaan mo yang sarii mo. kumain ka nga ng tama! para marami akong makurot na taba sa braso mo...hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! joke lang sha...*grins*
**********
within the few hours since i published my previous post, i indulged myself in tedious work. haha. so much eh noh.
i found out that i couldn't make it to my scheduled defense so i sent miss celeridad a message. i told her that it will take me two weeks to do the lab testing. let alone the aging of my product. *sigh* she told me that i will be moved to august together with the other students scheduled on that day because there will be a school activity.
i don't like the idea very much because i want to finish my research as soon as possible. but all i can do is be grateful for the additional time given to me.
**********
i forgot to thank debbie for a very great thing she told me.
alter! salamat talaga dun sa sinabi neh??! laking tulong.
nah...that will have to be just between the two of us. hehe.

yesterday, i finished reading mitch albom's latest book, for one more day.
i was deeply touched by the story.
it's about a guy named charles "chick" benetto, who was given a chance to spend another day with his mother - through an extraordinary dream.
i won't give further details but i would like you to read the book.
i can say that after reading this story, i came to understand more things about my mom.
i learned how to value her and the little things i do or say.
to my mommy, here's a kiss. *mmmmmmmwah!*

a new start
i decided to make this blog because of some unwanted instances in my previous one...haha.
i just wish i could make regular updates in here.
i just wish i could make regular updates in here.
a summer break?
i have nearly four days left before school starts again.
and i didn't even have a summer vacation at all.
april was a mess.
what with going to rizal science almost everyday for stuff we won't even benefit from. it was really exhausting and a bit inane. haha.
may was quite fun.
some of my classmates and i spent the whole month for the upcat and acet review.
i really had fun. i learned new things - or should i say, i learned things i should've learned before...if only i took time to listen to the teacher. *grins*
and so the review ended yesterday... *aww*
i'll really miss the experience.
haha.
**********
waah!!! i only have less than a week to enjoy!
tsk. unfortunately, my research paper doesn't have any progress.
what with the draining review everyday and some household chores that need to be done.
hay...
what a summer...
**********
i've just realized that time really flies fast. *sigh*
it seems only yesterday when i bade assumption antipolo goodbye and said hello to an entirely new environment.
and now, i'm about to start my final year in high school.
>>mgdrama ba?
eh kc nman..super bilis ng panahon...
enjoy pala talaga ang high school.
unforgettable talaga...
