It always ends.

It always ends.

Everything ends.

Anyway, I went to school yesterday to watch DUP’s Atang. Overall, it was all right. There were some good parts, but there were also a lot of boring parts. A lot of Kundiman songs were sung, and well, I just find Kundimans boring. They make me sleepy, I’m sorry.

After the play, I met up with H and we went to his house.

Because of my desperation the night before, I texted J to ask if she had a semi-formal/cocktail dress that I could borrow. She had! She’s H’s neighbor, and that’s why I thought to ask her! We went to her house and I borrowed a dress, and then we went back to H’s house to prepare!

H has 4 flat-screen PC screens (I don’t really know what they’re called, monitors?) It’s so cool! I got to use one and it was soooo big! CS for a while! Hahaha!

After preparing, we had chocolate milk and chocolate and grapes and Yakult then we left!

H showed me Xavier! Haha. Traffic in GH. Map studying. Gas. Talks!

We finally arrived at Manila Polo Club in Makati. Went to C’s debut! I saw some C people there I didn’t expect to see! I was in another table though, with people I weren’t really close with, so that was awkward. The food was delicious! Dessert too! D finally arrived but we weren’t seated together, so we weren’t able to talk to each other. Haha!

I joined the 1st game and didn’t win, but it’s all right because there was a consolation prize! Yay!

After that, there was an AVP, then the dance game which was cool, a song number, then C danced with her dad and brother, then the thankyous, and finally, the debut was over!

We “danced” after that. They danced. I just swayed and stuff. Hahaha! I must have looked so awkward! Sigh, I wanna learn how to dance!

Souvenirs! 2009 Disneys fairies planner and this small figure dress hanging thing. I can’t really describe it! Hahaha!

H, J, D, B, P, and I went to Gloria Jean’s Bonifacio after. We didn’t really stay long because they were all tired and sleepy.

Hitched a ride with D home. D and I got to talk about some stuff and it was nice. Haha! I went up at around 1:30 already!

Dad cooked pancit! Boo! That’s the reason why I’m so fat! He keeps cooking food late at night!

Went to sleep at around 2:45 AM!

I woke up today at around 1:30 PM! Then I ate brunch with Mom and now, I’m online. I’m really not yet in the mood to do homework! Sigh. Will fetch T later!

Whew!

Whew!

November 27

I commuted to school today. I got to listen to LRT Christmas songs again! Haha!

Span 30. We presented our inventions and marketed them. Haha, then we went around to “buy” machines with our play money!

Span 40. Quiz. Gaaaah, I hope I pass. Damn. Also, I was THIS close to failing, because I didn’t check to see if the paper had a back part. Good thing someone asked about an item in the back, and that’s when I turned my paper to see a LOT of items, and only 5 minutes left to answer! Boo. Discussion after.

Rain. RAIN!

Las chicas (is this our name? LOL) went to CASAA to talk and wait for the rain to stop. After that, I went to my EEE10 class. Ugh, puddles.

Didn’t go to my CWTS class. Went to the C tambayan and had a mini-execom meeting. Then, D and I hitched a ride with C to the station, then we took a jeep home. I told D that the jeep is incorrect but he wouldn’t believe me. In the end, we had to walk because the jeep really was wrong. Pfft!

Homework.

November 28

Hitched a ride with D to school. Didn’t have ballet so I went to AS instead. Met up with K and talked. C joined us later on and the 3 of us just talked. After that, they had class so I went back to the tambayan. Talked with J and B. Hahaha! Met up with MS after that. Talked again. We didn’t realize that it was already past 11:30, and when we did, we rushed to our classes.

Span 30. We listened to some songs and played this “continue the story” game.

Comm 3. Discussion. We were dismissed early so that we could do our group activity. Our group went to the CAL lib, Katag, AS, and then CASAA. Whew! After that, I went back to the E booth and saw pizza! I got to eat a slice! Then, A and I went to class.

NatSci1. It was all right. Our current topic is electricity and magnetism, which we also discussed for my EEE10 class. Haha, funny.

Went back to C tambayan after class to meet up with D. We went to the Fullybooked Bloggers Event! It was nice! First, we toured the whole places – all 6 floors of it. Haha. After the tour, we went back to the top floor to eat and to play a game. Announcements were also made – like how there’s going to be a bloggers book club (YAY!), twilight game in their website (http://fullybookedonline.com/), etc.

Then, we were free to choose 2 books from the pile of books on 3 tables. D and I were among the last ones to choose books because we were late. Boo! I got Shopaholic and Baby, and Goodnight Nobody. The 1st book wasn’t really there when we were looking, so I guess someone decided to exchange that with something else. Haha. I wanted to get this 3rd book (and this 4th!), but oh well.

I like their 4th floor because of the listening stations! It’s so cool! You get to listen to the latest CDs of artists and stuff. The whole floor had a huge collection of CDs which is cool! I got to listen to 1 of Dido’s songs, and then a couple of Beyonce’s, 1 of KC’s songs, and 1 HSM3 song. Hahaha!

I also saw a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book! Aww, I miss that! It was originally a web comic, but then I guess it became really famous so the author decided to publish a book! There’s also a 2nd part, which isn’t available online anymore. Boo capitalism (?).

D and I also hung out around the children’s section. He was reliving his childhood memories. Hahaha, just kidding. I saw this very cute kid!

Kid: Daddyyyyyyy!! (runs to her father and shows him a book) Can you buy this for me, pleeeeeaaaaseeeeeee?? (pleads, with matching hands together, like in prayer)

Awww!

I also like the chairs in every floor. Customers can just sit there and rest, or read a book, or something. There are also restrooms on every floor which is cool too! I think that Fort Bonifacio establishments are really posh.

After that, D and I went to World Trade Center for the bazaar because his family was participating. We walked around the place and waited for it to close then we went home.

Tired!

I looked for semi-formal clothes that I could wear to the debut tonight but couldn’t find any! Boooo! It’s so depressing really.

I texted D and H that I didn’t want to go to the debut anymore because I didn’t have anything to wear and then H told me to ask J. J didn’t have any, and I thought of J (H’s neighbor). Out of desperation, I texted her and she replied this morning telling me that she had some cocktail/semi-formal dresses! Hahaha! I’m going to her house later to borrow one. Talk about desperation, really. I hope her clothes fit me though! This is the reason why I don’t like debuts, because I don’t have anything to wear! Haha! I’d prefer formal or 80s, because I know I’d have something to wear.

I’m going to school later to watch the play. I hope it starts on time so that it ends on time too! Eep. H is just going to wait for me, so I really do hope it finishes on time.

Okay, bye.

Short(y).

Short(y).

I hitched a ride with D to school today. Ballet class was challenging, but it was all right. I had fun, to say the least. Changed clothes after that. I took quite some time, because I was still too lazy to change, and I didn’t know what to wear.

Rode a jeep to AS. Hung out at C till my 1st class. As I was walking towards CAL for my 1st class, I overheard this conversation:

Girl: Chao sin! (VERY WRONG)
Me (to myself): hmm.. I wonder what language that is.
Guy: Wo hui! (CORRECT!)
Me (to myself): ohhhhhh. It’s Mandarin. Pfft!

Hahaha. I know, evil, but well.

We had pair conversations for Span 30 and then we were given topics to choose from. N and I wanted to choose the one about food, because we’d already made a script about it, but Sir called J first and they picked it. At the end of the class however, J was asking us if it was all right with us, and I said that it was all right, although we’d already made a script. Then, N and S played rock, paper, scissors and in the end, N and I won the topic. HAHAHA!

We had a quiz, discussion, and a game for Comm 3. Our group won the game again! Yay! +2 in our next quiz! I didn’t get a perfect score for today’s quiz. I got 1 mistake, but we have the +2 so it’s like I perfected it! Haha!

I didn’t feel that sleepy during NatSci1. I was irritated however, because I was trying to listen but then someone kept on bothering me! Grr.

Went back to C after class. Got a donut from K! C and H accompanied me to the K meeting. It was useless, really. I felt that I just wasted my time. Oh well. I pity them though.

Hitched a ride with D home.

Homework!

You don’t know me.

You don’t know me.

I’m currently reading the book “Love and Other Four Letter Words” by Carolyn Mackler. I’ve read her other book “Vegan Virgin Valentine.” I’m not yet done reading “The Witch of Portobello” but I need a breather (? hahaha!) and someone lent it to me, soo..

Anyway, I got to hitch a ride with D to school today! Turns out his one and only class for today wasn’t meeting, so, he sort of just wasted gas. He decided to go swimming instead!

I went to the booth and reviewed for my quiz. Met up with N after that to practice our lines.

I’m really irritated at J because she is such a feeler! P and J have the same experience and yet P isn’t a feeler. He is also not loud and tactless. Hmm. It’s funny because M and I kept on looking at each other because we were bothered by J. Haha.

Film discussion for Span 30. I couldn’t really think of anything more to say about the film. I didn’t really like it so I just said the reasons for my disliking it. After that, we had some more group discussions and then we were dismissed.

The Span 40 quiz was postponed. Whew! I guess I have more time to study then, as if that would help. More topics have been added to the coverage of the quiz though. We answered the homework and then made some paragraphs.

EEE10 was boring as usual. Blah.

CWTS. Stupid.

I wasn’t able to attend the E GA because of CWTS. I hitched a ride with K home.

I didn’t spend a single peso today! Hahahaha yay!

Hmm, I’m going to buy a new casing for my phone soon. I pity it already! Hahaha. Plus, the number 9 fell off this afternoon and I wasn’t able to find it anymore. Aww!

Ugh! I hate people who think they know you! Back off.

Off to do homework.

Thinking.

Thinking.

News really does travel fast. I don’t know how certain things reached certain people but whatever.

I’m actually quite looking forward to this holiday season as well. I don’t know, even with all this doom around me, optimism for this holiday season has been awakened in me. I do hope I’m right.

I haven’t really done anything productive this weekend. I just bummed around. Well, I did go to the induction last Saturday, and I did finish our Span script, and I did read some EEE10 readings, and I did answer our Span40 homework, but I haven’t read NatSci1 handouts and I haven’t studied for our Span40 quiz. Hmm.

I have a study date next week with MS! HAHAHA!

I forgot if I’ve mentioned this already, but I’m not looking forward to any of my subjects this sem. Sigh. Boo that Latin10! It was the only class I was looking forward to this sem, and it had to be in conflict with Span30. Tsk! I’m kind of looking forward to Comm3 because I’m enjoying the class, but I  can’t bring myself to open up yet. I’m still in my shell. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to come out soon. I’m dreading our Live Interviews and individual speeches. Group reports as well. Hmm. Oh well. Like I said before, it’s no use worrying over stuff that hasn’t happened yet. We should just take each day at a time, and live through it. Haha!

I really do hope our trip to China pushes through because I want to travel!

I also want to go to that Asian Conference thing, but I don’t know if I can contribute anything. Plus, if only other people were going, I’d probably go. I hope that summer trip to Beijing c/o C would push through! Although, it would still be expensive. Sigh.

I really just want to focus on academics this sem. I mean, C and academics. I have to remain active in C because I’m an officer but as for my other organizations, I guess I would just go to activities which wouldn’t be that much of a hassle. I really don’t want to go to school, and spend P60 just for a meeting or something. It’s impractical and it’s a waste of money. It’s not as if I’m getting paid for that, right? I just don’t have a lot of money, and so I don’t want to waste it on that.

I came across an online personality test I took before. It said that I get inspired from learning new things. I guess it’s right. I’m always curious about lots of things, even little things that seem unimportant. I’m not scientist-curious though. Hahaha!

I watched Numb3rs 508 a while ago. It was cool, kind of.

It rained this afternoon! Yay! It made the air cold! I like and enjoy rain when I’m at home, but when I’m in school, or not at home, I really don’t like it!

I also read Who Moved My Cheese this afternoon. I didn’t like it. Haha! I mean, it’s nothing special or anything, so I don’t get why it’s so expensive in bookstores! Good thing for ebooks!

I’m kind of looking forward to Friday’s event. I hope I’ll be able to go.

Anyway, I think I’ve said enough. Will edit this when I think of other random stuff. Haha!

Off to study! I’ve wasted enough time! It’s now 11:27 PM!

Colorgenics!

Colorgenics!

How true could this be? Hmm.

You are longing for some love and affection at the time- not that you have been deprived of tender loving care – but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go ‘somewhere’ else to perhaps experience that little extra ‘understanding’.

You are finding the present situation extremely demanding and you’re having difficulty coping with it. A great deal of strain is involved and you would really like everyone and everything to leave you alone for a while, just so that you can put everything into perspective.

You need a friend – a close friend – and you are willing to become emotionally involved with the right person, but you are very demanding and particular in your choice of partners. You are constantly looking for reassurance and it is perhaps because of this that you tend to be somewhat argumentative, but you try to hold back – careful to avoid open conflict – since this might reduce your prospects of realising your hopes of establishing a warm caring relationship.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all – you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You don’t like conflict and you endeavour to avoid criticism. You want to do your own thing and to be able to decide what is right for you. You have considerable personable charm – and this is used with considerable effect on those that keep your company.

Unproductive!

Unproductive!

I haven’t done anything productive today! Oh no!

I woke up at around 1 PM, ate brunch, and then went online. I watched some new episodes of some shows and then Mom came home.

I was hungry, but I didn’t like our food, so I decided to look for our waffle maker. I failed! Sniff. The waffle didn’t come out all right, and I made a real mess with the maker (I cleaned it for like an hour). I had to scrape the bits and then I had to clean it. It wasn’t really water-friendly, in the sense that I couldn’t immerse it in water. Boo!

After that first batch, I decided to just make pancakes with the rest of the batter! Hahaha.

Dinner.

More internet.

I guess I’m going to have to start with homework later. Ugh!

Edit. (9:11 PM)

I’m trying real hard to keep our friendship, but you know what they say about people getting tired? I’m getting tired. Friendship should be a two-way relationship. I can’t always be the one who keeps trying.

You can’t message me at 9 in the evening and tell me to go to school at 10 in the morning tomorrow. It’s not as if I don’t have plans, you know. Pfft.

I’m currently reading EEE10 readings, and chatting with my groupmate about our Span play.

Edit. (11:27 PM)

We just finished making our script! Yay!

Still reading EEE10 readings.

I feel like a lousy A member but I’m sorry, I really don’t like them that much. I’ll try to go to as much activities as I can this sem, but I don’t think I’m gonna be renewing next sem. Hmm. Let’s just see what happens this sem.

Edit. (12:20 AM)

For some reason, I’m suddenly looking forward to having summer classes! I bet it’s going to be quite an experience! Haha! Let me get through this sem first. Hahaha!

Okay, I’m sleepy. Good night!

Org(y).

Org(y).

Hahaha hmm.

Anyway, went to Ferndale today for C’s induction. Lots of activities. Some irritating people. Blah.

After that, a bunch of us went to TOSH to eat.

I got home and did a lot of C stuff again.

I’m too lazy to tell stories.

Me voy.

Edit. (12:08 AM)

Ooh. K and P going out on dates. I can’t imagine.

I really hate irresponsible people. I also hate people who are so full of themselves. They think that they’re the only ones in this world with problems. I also hate people who can’t be corrected if they commit a mistake. Pfft. Whatever.

I hate people who think that learning a foreign language is easy. If it is as easy as you claim it to be, then why doesn’t everyone just get a 1.00? Why are there students who fail?! Stupid. Math and Science aren’t the only important things in this world. I believe that art, literature, etc. are also important. Lalala.

Hmm, J was asking me something. To R or not to R, that is the question.

Another day.

Another day.

Hitched a ride with D to school today!

Ballet! It was challenging because I am NOT flexible! Haha! Our prof looks so graceful and elegant! I was able to do everything she told us to do though (although not perfectly), so it’s all good.

I was shocked by this girl who changed clothes inside the ballet room. I mean, she was bare naked! I saw her breasts! I was looking around the room because I was already finished and other girls were still putting on their skirts or shoes or whatever when suddenly I saw this girl take off her shirt and I think she already took off (or she didn’t wear one?) her bra! Eek.

Rode a jeep to AS. Bought a ticket for Atang, because we were required to watch it. The play date that was given to us was for this Saturday at 3 PM! I also have to attend a seminar for CWTS at 1 PM! Then, I have to go to a debut in the evening! Pfft!

Went to C tambayan and got a free mango gulaman juice! Yay! Went to Benton supposedly to talk to Sir T but he wasn’t there! I saw MS on my way back to the tambayan. Hahaha!

Studied for my quiz and then photocopied my Form 5 for A.

Span 30. Film viewing. I didn’t really like the movie and I didn’t really get the whole point of it. There were also some parts I did not understand! I still need practice. I’m thinking of getting a library membership in Instituto, just so I could borrow their DVDs, and other reference materials. Hmm. Although I don’t know when I could go there and stuff.

Comm 3. Group 5′s reporting. Short discussion. Group quiz (We got the highest score and so we got a +2 for the quiz). Quiz. I got a perfect score again (because of the bonus points)! Discussion. Activists. I kind of feel sad for the people who got beaten up by the police (if this is really true, I think they could sue, right? I mean, the police doesn’t have a right to beat up minors/people in general! Do they?)

NatSci1. Discussion. M doodles! Haha! Exam before Christmas break! Shocks! I guess I have to start studying.

Rode a jeep to BA to submit my requirements.

Walked back to AS and then I was able to hitch a ride with K home! Yay!

C induction tomorrow! Pfft, I don’t want to leave the house anymore! I want to sleep! Sniff.

Lalala. Lazy. Hasta luego!

UPCAT etc!

UPCAT etc!

This is an entry about yesterday (November 20).

Got to school at around 11:30 and went to my first class.

Span 30. We had mini-impromptu skits again. We also listened to some music and then we wrote about stuff we liked. After that, whoever guessed correctly would get play money! At the end of the class, if you had play money, you would be able to “buy” a chocolate! Haha.

Span 40. We were dismissed late and so we all ran to AS! It’s a good thing that we’re all classmates! I mean, only 3 people aren’t in Span 30. 1 of those even texted me asking if we had class because there was no one in the room! Hahaha! We checked the exercises and then we played this guessing game and then we had discussion. Quiz on Tuesday. Ugh!

EEE10. Boring as usual. I think I’m slowly getting confused. I need to find a tutor! Hahaha! Good luck to me! Sigh.

Passed by the E sign-up booth because I had to drop off a document and then I also gave MS her sandwich!

Went to the C meeting after that. Didn’t really get to accomplish much. I mean, we just had some updates about the homecoming. Sigh, I really do hope we pull it off. I really don’t like T anymore. She’s a BA student so she HAS to know the meaning of professionalism and all that. Pfft!

UPCAT the movie. Looooooong line! The movie wasn’t really that good but I guess it’s all right. There were some good parts but I think that a lot of parts were exaggerated and there were also a lot of boring parts. The girl didn’t know how to act and I didn’t really like the ending. Oh well! We gotta show our school spirit. HAHAHA.

People were noisy though, as usual! There were a lot of side comments and reactions and stuff!

I won’t mention other details so as not to spoil the movie for you guys but I remember one guy behind us saying “Mga taga-UP talaga, malalandi.” and C saying in a low voice: “Hindi naman…” HAHA!

Watched with M, C, D, and H. We ate dinner at Le Ching Banawe after that. Conversations. Hitched a ride with D home. C and D! Conversations again.

Home. Didn’t do anything because I was sleepy and tired already! Hahaha!
