sweet success

2010-02-05T02:39:00.000-08:00

January 23, 2009: a very unforgettable date.

That was the date that we first tasted sweet success. Because on that date, the CvSU Chorale Ensemble emerged victorious at the CHED and NAHEI’s Academic and Cultural Festival held in De La Salle Lipa, Batangas. :)

We weren’t prepared at all. I mean, we were told to prepare for a competition 5 days before the actual date! And we only rehearsed for 2 days because we were busy arguing with the school officials. That was because we didn’t want to join a competition unprepared. But they insisted, so we decided that we should give it a try. And it was worth all the tears, pressure and stress! It was my first time to achieve such an amazing success as a chorale member, and I’m so proud that I’m a part of this group.

Now we all assure that when we represent the Region IV-A at the National Competition, to be held at UP Diliman this February, we will be super prepared. Ooh I’m so excited! =P

Again, congratulations to us! :) We deserve it. =P

while searching for some old photo albums at my old room, i found another piece of my past: a small, green notebook that contains my scribbles way back in junior year high school. and guess what? i saw a past masterpiece of mine! here, read it:

"alonely"
written on march 26, 2008

here i am, alone again, waiting for happiness to find me. now that i am sitting here at the farthest corner of the stage, i start to think, "why am i here in the first place?" because i'm waiting for someone. i'm waiting for an explanation. i'm waiting for forgiveness. she asked me if we could talk, but she's nowhere in sight. all i see are students who are having their clearance signed. i guess i should leave.

here i am, alone again, waiting for happiness to find me. all my friends have gone home. all them are now relaxing. i was left alone, here at the farthest corner of the stage. as i realize my loneliness, i start to think, "why am i here in the first place?" because i want to be with no one. i want to be with myself. i want a quiet ambiance. as i wait for her, a little, shattered voice whispers in my ear, "the silence will make you deaf." i guess i should leave.

here i am, alone again, waiting for happiness to find me. it's already past 4 pm, and the call time's 3. now, as i write this on my green notebook, i start to think, "why am i here in the first place?" because i live up to our promise. because i don't want this chance to pass. because i want us to be friends again. i'm tired of those uneasy days. i'm sick of pretending i don't see her. i want to break the silence. but now the guard said we can go home. the students are now rushing to the gate. and still no sign of her. i guess i should leave.

if she comes, tell her i've waited so long, so i already left. but if she wants to know how painful it was to make me wait there with nothing to do, take her to the farthest corner of the stage.

that message was for a friend who almost broke our friendship for not coming to that place so we could talk. but we're ok now. :) i kind of missed doing that kind of stuff (you know, writing out of nowhere..hehe =D) thanks for lending some time to read this guys. :)

paa-bilisan!

2010-01-09T18:04:00.000-08:00

a "fun run for a cause" was recently held here at indang on january 10, 2010, 6:00 am. it was a 5k marathon organized by kiwanis club of indang and co-organized by cvsu main. guess what? i was a participant. :)

gulat much? that's because i already started my diet plan: exercise and a balanced food intake. i'm not doing this for a particular someone (uyy! cheddar! =P), i'm doing this for myself. i noticed (and so are my family and friends) that i'm really getting bigger, so i decided to control my takawness and start a new lifestyle. o 'di ba bongga? =P

as for the marathon, well we (my bamc barkada) had a blast! even though all the running and walking on uphills and long roads were so tiring, it was super duper worth it! and though it left me with sore muscles and red foot fingers (maybe because of the rubber shoes), it was a very sweet treat for a girl who's on a diet. :) i really felt great, relieved and revived after that. it was like i shredded a thousand pounds! hehe =P just kidding. anyway, as i was saying, i really had fun, both because i got the exercise i want and because i spent it with my darling friends (noxan! rich! rey ann! sarah! pam! julie ann!) :)

ok..i'm so exhausted today. but there are so many things on my to-do list. oh well, i guess i can't make up for my lack of sleep anymore. :( teecee everyone! :)

snappies..:^ some of my pictures during the marathon. :)

belated and advance!

2009-12-28T21:59:00.000-08:00

yup, that's right. belated merry christmas and advance new year to everyone! :)

long time no post!

2009-12-16T02:55:00.000-08:00

oh my..i can't believe how inactive i am nowadays. as i scroll on my old posts (dated last year), i realized how busy and unproductive i am this year. i mean, i was so fascinated with writing my everyday life last year! and now..i'm not. oh, i don't know. maybe i'm just so stressed out.

speaking of stress, well, that's my problem right now. remember the saying "eat stress for breakfast?" well, i do that. (not literally of course!) choir practices, course duties, activities and projects, dorm life...stress comes out of me almost everyday. everytime i go home (dorm), my roommates would always notice that i look bangag. i also noticed that i always get tired...and hungry. i think that's normal in college, but i think i should take a deep breath and relax. my body clock's messed up already, so i believe i really need to chillax. =P

christmas' already approaching! i'm so excited! :) but before that, we will be competing on december 18 at trece capitol grounds. wish us luck. :)

more thoughts next year! i just hope i will bounce back to my old blogging self again............. :)

dream come true!

2009-10-28T20:11:00.001-07:00

wuuh...echusera! =P

sembreak...?

2009-10-28T19:49:00.000-07:00

whew...first sem's finally over. now i can rest and do whatever i want! =P

but..a 2-week vacation? very short. hmm..at least we have a sembreak. pero kung magbibigay rin lang ng sembreak eh lubus-lubusin na diba? gosh.

np: sandara park's "smile in your heart" :) <3

2009-10-06T05:20:00.000-07:00

honestly, i should be back by the dorm already, knowing that it's past 8 in the evening. i know i shouldn't stay out late, but then i felt the urge to blog. i can't wait to share the happiness and contentment that i felt just moments ago---with my 2 very best friends.

we (my girls ana, roxanne and i) decided to bond and share thoughts and experiences tonight, after our moment with our choirmates. we talked about everything, and it felt so great to express what we feel. suddenly, i felt something special. if you're going to think about it, we're different individuals, and i never thought i would be friends with them. but then i realized that it doesn't matter if we're not the same. what matters is that we understand each other and we're cool about our imperfections. we accept each other.a.r.a.#21...ana, roxanne, alex. :)

before we parted, we stopped by the church and prayed. we all took turns saying our prayers, and after that, i really felt great joy, as if my heart's bursting w/ so much happiness. and as we did a group hug, i felt like as if i'm gonna cry. that was the first time i ever experienced a group hug from my best friends. it wasn't just a simple wrap-up, it was filled with love and sweetness. oh my, i love them so much. even though it's just 2 months since we met each other, it's as if we've been friends for a long time.

there, i let it all out already. i just can't contain my happiness. now i can say that i've found friends that, i know, will stay true to me and will always be there. friends who are not afraid of group hugs or anything cheesy. friends who are always willing to listen to my everyday rants. and friends who will not leave me no matter what happens.

to ana and roxanne (a.r.a. #21), i love you so much! :)

2009-10-05T20:40:00.000-07:00

i'm touching the keyboard again! yehey! ^_^

ever since i entered college, my blogging time decreased. well, due to different commitments and everything, i wasn't able to share my thoughts. but now i'm back! and i hope i will be sooooooooooooooooo back! =P

i missed blogging---really. in fact, i want to share all my thoughts and experiences, but, i can't...not for now. (wuhuu!!!)

i was so shocked when i saw that i didn't make any entries for the whole month of september!!! oh my.....just look at how busy i was!

well, there. i'm out of words. :) stay cool, fellas.

july 22, 2009

2009-07-22T18:44:00.000-07:00

^..a very memorable date for me. swear!

many things happened to me yesterday..hmm..like my friends and i carried a very heavy tank of gasul (i just helped!), not aware that i might get binat after that. that was the first time i ever carried a gasul on the streets of bancod..haii!!!

then yesterday was also my first official day as a true member of the cvsu chorale ensemble (CvSUCE)! *congratulate me..hehe.. :-P* we had fun..as in! haii..i never thought i will be able to make it to the chorale! thank You! ^_^ hmm...what else? ah! the fun part..well it's not really fun because it brought trauma to me. ahm just ask me for that 'cause i don't want to tell it here..heehee.. ^_^

basta the bottomline is............i will never forget that date! ^_^

when the pressure comes...

2009-07-21T00:20:00.000-07:00

...it pours. and when it pours, you better be ready!!!

haii...the pressure just started when i came back to school. well...i was sick last week so i wasn't able to attend my classes. unfortunately they (bamc1-1) did a lot of things that week, and the thought that i have to catch up with the lessons makes me even sicker. heehee...haizxt.. T_T there were quizzes and activities that i missed and, sadly, i could no longer take. i hope that whole week of absence doesn't affect my grades! ooh i'm scared.. :-O

after this session i will go the final audition for the cvsu chorale ensemble (that was really dated last thursday, but i pleaded and luckily they gave me a chance. yee!). i'm just nervous kasi baka sumablay ako due to my throat problems..haii wish me luck! ^_^

goodluck to myself..haiiii!

k-o-l-e-h-i-y-o

2009-06-20T09:21:00.000-07:00

my first week in college was...very unexplanable and terrific. i mean, i'm close to being speechless! but as a chatterbox (hehe!), i will tell you all about my first week in CvSU. how about that?! ^_^

let's start...

>>sunday: my parents and niece eurich accompanied me to the ladies dormitory inside the campus...meaning CvSU will be my home for the next four years (literally!). after a few decorating and arranging, they left me on my own (my roommates arrived at past 8 pm kasi eh..). hello independency! ^_^

>>monday: first day of classes!!! i woke up at 4:45 am..and luckily the shower room was not crowded. so after eating and getting prepped up, i headed for the stairs (i'm in 4th floor..). 1st subject: PHED1 at the gymnasium. when i got there, i quickly checked the room assignment for my section (BAMC1-1 it is!), and while waiting for the orientation to start, i met some of my classmates. interesting fact about what we're going to do in PHED1: our teacher said that we should do 100 laps around the oval for the 1st sem..and f.y.i.: the oval is 400 m. whew...i think i'll be needing a better rubber shoes. hehe! :-P then after that, we had a 1 hour vacant (sched says!), so i stayed at the dorm muna.

next class: MATH2! i can't find the assigned building for that (fyi: CvSU is 74 hectares!), and while looking, i met 3 of my classmates that i already exchanged "hellos" with. they're also looking for the building, so i decided to join them, since i have no one to accompany me. here's the highlight: we looked & looked & looked for the room and building of MATH2 for more than 30 minutes!!! you can't imagine how haggard we looked then. after some asking and guessing, we already reached our destination, but when we got there, the orientation's already finished! good thing our professor's quite nice, so he let us get away with that. ^_^

by 11:30 we had our FILI1 class. it was when i met more of my classmates & got to know them better. also, we were asked to introduce ourselves to the whole class! hmm...ok i'll admit i got i little nervous (it's normal!!!). at 1 pm we were dismissed and i ate my lunch. :) after 3 hours, it was BIOL3 time! and again, we just had an orientation about that subject.

>>tuesday: based on our registration forms, we only have one subject for that day: ENGL1. unfortunately, there were some complications on the schedule and the room assignments (and our professor's not around), so sadly, we just wasted our whole morning transferring to different rooms and waiting. oh, i forgot...we had our elections for the student council (BAMC1) and surprisingly, i was nominated as president and voted as treasurer! gosh..i've never been a treasurer in my whole life! but it was flattering, though...knowing that my classmates trust me. thanks guys. ^_^

>>wednesday: first subject: MATH2 again! but we didn't have the same professor anymore. anyway, we were given a short lecture about "sets"...that's all. :-P it was also the same in FILI1. we discussed a new lesson, and thankfully our professor kept us relaxed by joking a lot. ^_^ then at 4 pm, we were supposed to have SOSC3, but our teacher was not around. so we just had a class meeting.

>>thursday: first subject: ENGL1, and by that time our professor's already there to orient us! yay! we shared the subject with BSCriminology freshmen, so we were a bit crowded in our little room. note: our professor taught us that in college, a course (e.g. BA Mass Communication, etc.) is actually called a "program" and a subject is what we really call a "course". confusing, eh?

unfortunately, our HLTH1 time became a vacant time because, again, no professor came to orient us. so we just decided to go to the library and research for our assignment in BIOL3. fast forward to that subject (erm..i mean course.. ^_^)! our prof tackled about the branches of biology until the scientific method..and after that, we were given a little group activity. ^_^

4-5:30 pm: SOSC3! and by that time, our professor finally showed up (yay!). again, we introduced ourselves to the class...and then she oriented us. it's the same thing over and over again.

>>friday: we had our NSTP orientation at 8 am. a handful of guest speakers taught us some pointers about that course, but one speaker caught all of our attention. she really opened our eyes to the truth behind rallies and people being recruited to be trained and thrown up to the mountains (just to be chased by soldiers). honestly, i salute her for doing that kind of speech. then after that, we were made to choose between ROTC and CWTS. then we were dismissed! by 2 pm i was already in a jeep on the way to kawit. ^_^ i missed my family and friends kaya!:)

my first week was really memorable. the dorm experience, going from building to building, having mud on my pants, everything!!! but it was all worth it. after all, when you embark on a new journey in your life, crazy experiences and mishaps are always present! but i was very grateful that i made it through my first week...and with that, i'm sure i'm also gonna make it through the whole semester. i have no doubt that i will survive the next 4 succeeding years of my college life!

mabuhay ang mga nasa kolehiyo na! ^_^

screaming COLLEGE!!!

2009-06-16T01:44:00.000-07:00

i'm not prepared to blog! hehe..

i just wanna share my happiness now that i'm in college...particularly CAS (college of arts and sciences) at CvSU (cavite state university)-Indang. if i were to describe my first day...well it was "fantastically great, super mega awesome, unexpectedly chaotic, and ultimately tiring!" haaaaaaaay...oh well, i'll just make kwento next time! biglaan kasi 'to eh..haizzt.. ^_^

napasobra ang mga '-ly' ah..haha :-P

i remember...

2009-06-03T01:21:00.000-07:00

sometimes, you'll never know when destiny will surprise you with something unexpected.

i remember a time when i was so desperately in need of a boy bud. i was only 11 years old then. all of my closest friends then were girls and i had zero guy friend. plus, i kept on dreaming about having a guy pal. so i consulted one of my girl friends and she gave me phone digits of some boys she knew. having a textmate or a phonepal was all the rage then, so i tried to blend in. well, i met some guys (through phone), but they never became my friends. it was all a big mistake.

when i entered high school, i wasn't that desperate about the boy bud thing anymore. but, to my amazement, little by little, i started to gain guy friends who, i know, will remain w/ me until forever. it was truly unexpected. :) now, i'm just so thankful to have them in my life.

lesson: never rush into anything! it will come to you naturally and, most of all, when you least expect it. and don't settle for the phonepal/textmate thing...'cause you'll never really know when the person on the other end of the line is being sincere to you or not. just wait patiently, and who knows? maybe you'll get more than what you have in mind. that's just a piece of advice...from moi. ^_^

mantra of the moment: expect the unexpected! :-P

the photojournalist

2009-05-17T01:02:00.000-07:00

in just a couple of days, i will finally begin my another journey as a college student. i already made my choice, and that is to take ba mass communications, major in print journalism. but...as i
go deeper into my inner self, i slowly start to discover my other like: photography.

i'll let you in on my list of past dream proffesions: when i was in kinder-grade five, i wanted to be a teacher. when i entered grade six, i suddenly changed my mind and thought of being a flight stewardess. yep, you read that right. i became really fascinated with the korean language! in fact, i even bought a "learn how to speak: korean, japanese and chinese!" booklet, and my brother-in-law surprised me with a "learn how to write korean in less than 45 minutes!" book when he went home from qatar. but when i started my 1st year in high school, i fell in love with writing essays and novels...and until now, i still love to write. ^_^ but then again, photography came into my mind...and life.

i'm really a picture and camera freak! i love looking at various photo albums, but most especially, i love taking pictures. if given a chance, i would certainly want to go to a magnificent place and just take a shot of whatever i see. i go crazy over those sony cybershot and "for-proffesionals-only" cameras with huge lenses that i see in magazines. sometimes, i would picture myself standing at the top of a mountain---camera and tripod in front of me---, taking a shot of...anything! i really feel a different kind of high everytime i hold my camera. it's like, excitement and happiness overcome me everytime i take pictures!

if only i could buy photography equipments...and if someone would offer me a free tutorial in photography, i would instantly say "YES!!!" without any hesitation. but for now, i'm gonna go easy on my camera. baka masira eh. ^_^

to all aspiring photographers out there, keep dreaming! ^_^ just like me...

college ???

2009-05-08T02:39:00.000-07:00

last tuesday (may 5), my dad and i went to my future school, CvSU Indang, to have my medical/dental examinations. it was a long---no, make that VERY LONG!---ride from our place to indang, cavite. good thing i will be staying in a dormitory. ^_^

the examinations were just the basics, like getting my blood pressure, having my teeth tapped by the dentist (hehe), getting my chest x-ray and knowing my blood type. but i admit that it was my first time to be "x-ray-ed"...and at last alam ko na kung anong blood type ako! yay! heehee...^_^ the wounding part hurts, though...but not much. ^_^

as we roam around the whole campus, questions suddenly popped in my head, "will i survive the dorm duties?" "how will i balance everything?" "will i make new friends easily?" "how will i handle college pressure?" "will i be able to see my high school friends every now and then?" simple questions, but have a big impact on me. i'm really clueless about college, so i took out all my magazines w/ college guides inside and read them all. these guides gave me good pointers and advices, but i feel like i still need to learn some things about college. oh well...

i just hope it wouldn't be so hard for me. after all, in 4 years, many things can happen. and in that 4 years, i'm sure i will still learn from my mistakes and experiences...hence the saying, "experience is the best teacher." ! ^_^ haizxt....

bataan mode!

2009-05-08T02:37:00.000-07:00

last may 1, my mom, lil' sis and i went to bataan for my cousin's wedding. it also served as my 4-day vacation, away from the usual place i see everyday (which is cavite). well, i just want to share my experiences there...anyway, it's been a while since my last post here. ^_^ enjoy!

>> may 1 : we left the house at 4 pm and luckily, my dad took us to noveleta where saulog buses stops by. after a couple of minutes, we found a bus w/ the "olongapo" sign. yes! it's time to go!
by the tropical hut at bacoor, we spotted tito son and my cousin lance, already waiting for our bus. buti na lang hindi namin siya nalampasan. whew! anyway, it was a 4-hour ride, so it was pretty boring there. good thing my textmate kept me up all day...and night.

at past 8 pm, we finally got to our destination: dinalupihan. when i first stepped outside that chilly bus, i couldn't contain my happiness. it's been 3 years since my last visit there, and i kind of missed that place. the pedicab ride from the market to my aunt's house was a sweet treat for me. when i was a kid, i used to have a pedicab as a sundo to school, so it gave me a flashback feeling. plus, riding in a pedicab gives me enough time to sight-see because of it's slow motion. ^_^

i absolutely hate my first night there!!! not because of my relatives, but because i didn't get enough sleep! namahay ako, kaya putol-putol yung tulog ko. it was terrible! no wonder i felt dizzy the next day.

>> may 2 : the wedding day! i woke up early for the first time (6:30 am!) to get ready for my cousin's wedding. i just wore a simple blouse and skinny jeans, then by 9:30 am, we were all set! honestly, that was my first time to attend an actual wedding. and i realized many things about marriages: 1) a real wedding ceremony is totally different from what i usually see on tv ; 2) the "you-may-kiss-the-bride" thing doesn't happen at the end of the ceremony, and ; 3) it's just like a usual sunday mass, the only difference is that there's a couple at the front of the altar, and that there are some rituals added, like the lighting of the candle, etc. so i was kind of shocked, but that's the way it is. one more thing: i became an amateur photographer of the wedding. i just laugh when i remember the times when i would go to the center and take pictures of the newlyweds, and then the photographer would raise his hand to me, like he's saying, "step aside!" heehee...^_^ then after that, we went to the reception at the girl's place. we didn't take too long there and left early.

then by afternoon, my sis and i went to the plaza to surf the net. after that, we just strolled around the plaza and took pictures. i don't mind looking silly, posing with the statues and everything. after all, i don't live there. ^_^

night time came, and i wasn't sleepy yet. my mom kept on dragging me to the videoke nearby, but i refused her pleads. then at around 12 am, when all the people there were finally asleep, i stepped outside the house and headed to the videoke. heehee...i sang 3 songs until it's already 1 am.

we went back to the house, but i wasn't feeling sleepy yet, so i watched "back to the future" until 2:30 am. namahay ulit kasi ako eh. T_T

>> may 3 : again, my sis and i just went to the plaza to net-surf. after that, it was all tv-watching. by midnight, we played "camp rock" on dvd.

>> may 4 : yay! it's departure time! we packed our bags and said goodbye to the newlyweds, who were unwrapping their gifts at that time, to my aunt, and to the people there. this time, we rode a tricycle to the waiting station. we waited for, like, an hour! gosh it was so boring out there! by past 3 pm, a bus with a "cavite city" route finally stopped before us.

it was a tiring yet fun experience. i love to explore things, go to different places, and see their culture. i've been thinking, maybe i could be a globetrotter! heehee...so there. happy "posting again" jane! ^_^

life after april 3

2009-04-11T03:17:00.000-07:00

that april 3 was our graduation day. and to tell you the truth, it turned out unexpectedly. we were so wacky while the ceremony, yelled and applauded our deserving batchmates (including me..i got a medal for recognition in campus journalism! yeah! ^_^). days before that, we were told to be behave because that's a formal ceremony, but being the pasaway students that we are, we didn't listen. ^_^ that was the last time of our bonding as whole fourth years, so who cares?! hehe.. :-P

then last april 6, we held our very own CAT graduation. as expected, we were (again), pasaway. on the same day we were given our report cards and certificates. after that, my "no-thugz" friends and i went malling. nothing much..^_^

right now, i'm so excited about 2 upcoming events: henry's "treat" at KFC and marymag's splash island outing! i can't wait..super!!! we (my family) just went on a swimming spree last thursday, so my complexion is now a bit tan, but i'm not gonna let that splashie chance pass! :-P

but let us not forget that today is black saturday. my thoughts can't wait until tomorrow so, i took a little time to blog. let us remember how JC sacrificed for us. ^_^

post-graduation entry

2009-04-02T04:03:00.001-07:00

i never thought this day would come..the thought of me wearing my high school toga and cap never crossed my mind..(well at least not most of the time) but now, as i press every letter in this keyboard, i can't help but to think of what could happen tomorrow..

on my four years of existence in my current alma mater, i experienced things i've never experienced before, i had my fun firsts, and most of all, i gained friends who, i believe, will remain my friends until i grow old. it's fun to think of how my journey in high school changed my whole self. it taught me new things, and definitely made me more matured (hehe..) even my past misunderstandings taught me so many things. now i'm ready to face a bigger challenge in my life...and that is what we call COLLEGE.

..or..am i?!

well..i guess i am..not..whatever. all i know is that i will do my best to beat the college stress. wish me luck!

back to the topic, i will miss them. i will miss the days my friends and i used to spend together. i will miss the walking marathons, the food trips, the karaoke times, the super girl bonding times, the picture picture times, the laugh trips, ALL!!! haaaaay...high school is truly the best chapter in everyone's education days. and i will never ever forget the moment i became a high school student!

to my friends, teachers, and batchmates, thank you for enriching my life with wisdom and unexplanable things. i hope i did the same thing to you guys. i will miss you all, and take care. ^_^

now i will cry..T_T hehe..just joking (but i might cry..tomorrow..) ^_^

congratulations graduates! and..farewell..

super girl bonding! ^_^

2009-03-16T00:59:00.000-07:00

last march 14 (saturday), i had the best time bonding with my girls! ^_^

my super friends (esra, yanna, batchie, lara, rachel, eme) and i bonded over chips and sodas at esra's place. but what we really did was to watch "the exorcist"! haay...but before that, we checked some of francis m.'s videos first. ^_^ and we were spooked by one video. whoo.. :-O

that day is really unforgettable. yeah, it was just a simple girl time w/ some food and technology, but what i will treasure most is the friendship we shared. i discovered how tight our friendship is when we did that "movie marathon"! ^_^ haizz..i will miss them. T_T

to tropang isaw...friends forever! ^_^ <3

sure future!

2009-03-16T00:48:00.000-07:00

at last, i know now that my future's sure! ^_^

my dad and i went to my future school (CvSU-Indang it is!) last wednesday, march 11. this time my lil' sis joy tagged along. and there (at OSA - office of student affairs) they issued me a notice of admission! yess!!! do you know what that means?! i can now enroll in CvSU-Indang! yeah...^_^

i can't wait to be a BA Mass Communication student! haaaaay..at least now i don't have to worry about entrance exams! now i can sleep well at night. ^_^

my apologies...

i'll just update soon (i hope). i really miss blogging! sniff sniff... :'(

a night to remember

2009-02-27T05:54:00.000-08:00

february 19, 2009: a night to remember..^

i think i was lucky to be blessed with two celebrations in just one night...our last js prom and my sweet 16th birthday..talk about coincidence, eh?! well anyway, i can simply describe that night as the most enchanting, most wonderful and the greatest night i've ever had. well..like the usual..let's start with the basic, shall we?!

like last year, my mom and ate shie did all the wonders. i wore a chocolate-colored/bronze halter gown, w/c sadly made me look fatter (i didn't notice that when i tried it!) our prom was held at orchard golf and country club in dasmarinas. and si alyanna naman ang kasabay ko.. ^_^

i thought i wasn't going to be nervous because i already experienced js way back in third year, but when we got there, i kept on saying, "i don't want to go out of the car! i'm scared!" and yet, i don't know what i'm scared of. but as i stepped on the grounds of the venue, that feeling just vanished. and i was touched by my friends' warm welcome and greetings. they've been greeting me since the day before, and i didn't expect that they would remember my birthday. so to those who greeted me, thanks. ^_^

this time, i sat with my newfound barkada (hello tropang isaw! heehee..=P). the program started late, so our time for dancing became limited to 1 1/2 our only. by the way, my partner in our entrance was arvin..nice..and as usual, i wasn't chosen for ms.js..hehe..i don't want to be chosen anyway. ^_^ afterwards, we watched the cotillion de honor, and i liked it! i even took a video of it! yeah..=P after that, we had a lovely dinner (much better than last year's, i think..). for dinner we had chicken teriyaki and corn soup..bread and butter..and for dessert we had chocolate mousse! unfortunately i wasn't able to finish that, not even half of it. T_T

we were given only 1 and a half hour to have the dance floor all by ourselves (like what i said earlier). i've had the best dances from the best guys..thanks to all of you. ^_^ and..thanks for the birthday gift mr. second dance..^_^

i went home fulfilled and happy..really. i know the memory of my last js will never ever leave me, and i will treasure that forever. and fyi: that was the best birthday i've ever had....so far. ^_^ belated happy hearts day to all of you, and happy reading! ^_^

fyi: for the pix..go to my friendster account! click the link on your left! ^_^

second entrance exam

2009-01-19T02:50:00.000-08:00

unfortunately, i didn't make it in UP. i checked their website yesterday, and i didn't see my name on the list. but i'm not sad! ^_^ oh well, marami pa namang schools d'yan..^_^

earlier this morning, my dad & i went to our second option (in case i fail UPCAT..which i did..^_^), Cavite State University or CvSU in Indang. after i passed my requirements at the OSA or office of student affairs, we ate lunch at their canteen. when we got there, all eyes were on us! i felt shy again..as in they're staring at us (or me!). when it was already 2 pm, we (w/ the other 2 aspiring students) took the exam in 1 1/2 hour only. well, it was just verbal intelligence & mathematical ability (ouch!), so we were given only the right amount of time. after that neck-stiffing exam, we checked the dormitories.

i think i did well with this one, and i just hope i could pass! the school's nice, and i feel comfortable w/ the place, so sana makapasa ako!!! wish me luck guys..i only have 2 weeks to have fun because after that, the results will be released. i'm nervous!!! T_T but with the help of JC and you, people, i believe that i can pass this exam. good luck to me! ^_^

college

2009-01-11T03:03:00.000-08:00

one big question: where am i suppose to go in college????!

i already tried in UP, and the exam's result will be released on the 3rd week of january..and i'm not expecting. of all the thousands & thousands of students who took the UPCAT, do you still think that i have a chance?! hmm..no one knows. haaaay...but i have a negative feeling about that (pessimistic! bad..T_T) we'll see..

next: just yesterday, my dad & i went to cavite state university in indang. we checked it out because my dad wants me there & hmm..it was just fine. the place is cool, and kind of nice. but i'm thinking of going to manila to study..oh well..di bale na nga. ok lang naman dun eh, at least hindi masyadong malayo (hehe!:-P) but we'll still see..if i pass UP, then UP it is! if not, not it is! haha..:-P

haaay................senior life. T_T

hell week

2009-01-09T03:48:00.000-08:00

project week. cramming week. rushing week. hell week. whatever you call it, it's just the same.

but now, at least, i passed all my projects due this week. i must say, the past five days have been very stressful & draining for me! hmm..i experienced a lot..and learned from it. ^_^

cramming is never easy..yep that's right. but i don't know, i like cramming somehow (haha! silly..) like in quizzes, i study for like, 10 minutes before the time, and still get good results (awtz..no, i'm not mayabang..^_^)

but i must admit it, all the rushing & draining really caused me a headache & so many aches! uhmm..that's why i shouldn't use the computer now..well, i just blogged..^_^ gotta rest! ttfn everyone! ^_^

high-five-zero! ^_^

2008-12-28T00:44:00.000-08:00

ing i2008 is drawing to an end!!! so as a tribute to the past memories that happened this year, let me share to you my work..enjoy! ^_^

!...high-five-zero...!
(the best of 2008..my top 50-ish!)

50. tango dance - the first part of our p.e. class in my senior year. it was also my least favorite (hehe..hence the 50th spot)
49. chacha dance - the second part of our p.e. class..well i kind of enjoyed this dance..^_^
48. swing dance - the third & last part of our p.e. class..it was fun!:-P
47. erika's dad's post-bday party - hmm..i think this was last april 9..well my friends (marc..egie..ekay..& ate mich) just hung out..i miss those bonding times..
46. tHymAnGeRz bonding moments - oh yeah..signing of clearance times..i kind of miss those times we'd hang out at ma'am lozano's room..chitchat..hehe..^_^
45. cotillion late-night practices - i'm not actually part of the cotillion for our js prom that time (last february), but my friends & i spent the nights watching the dancers..& some of them were our uwian mates..so we have to wait. but those nights were fun..my chums & i have our own world there (haha!)
44. hana kimi craze - this was in mid march-may..i was totally addicted to this! i even made 2 videos using their pix & music! hehe..i really liked that show..and upon seeing that, wu chun instantly became my crush! haha..^_^ i even remember signing an online petition for hana kimi 2 to air..haha..really crazy!
43. national college assessment exam - or popularly known as the NCAE for seniors. well..quite hard, but i learned a lot. ^_^
42. sm blues - after taking the NCAE, my friends & i went to sm bacoor to unwind our used minds. but as we reached the entrance door, the guards stopped us, saying that we should wait until 5 pm. clad in our school uniform, we stayed there & thought of tactics on how to sneak in (harhar!), but we didn't notice that we already stayed there until 5 w/o actually knowing it! hehe..we ended up going in until 7..weeeeh..still can't forget that!
41. lost digicam memory card - the reason why my sister's digicam was left unused for months. it wasn't my fault, though. but anyway, my sister bought another one & now it's back for more capturing jobs!
40. tita nini's wake - this happened around june 21..or something. my aunt (dad's eldest sis) died because of complications in cancer plus her age (she's already 70). her wake became an instant family reunion in manila memorial park. well..may God bless her soul.
39. 45th foundation day - (march 3-7..i think?!) memorable, yeah. this became the perfect time for my friends & i to bond..and i super enjoyed that big kiddie inflatable playhouse..i was like, super jump to the max! haha..that left me w/ a headache. ouch! but it was fun..really!!!
38. shooting our filipino project - the latest..december 29 (yesterday!) well..it was memorable because it was my first time to do a shooting for the whole day! hmm..it was also my first time to play a sad girl..and i was nervous! hehe..^_^
37. living rosary - partly memorable to me because i was part of the choir..and we sang "awit ng sto. rosario" w/ actions---i was supposed to do that in my junior year, but i had sore eyes & wasn't able to join. thankfully, i did it this year. ^_^ and one more thing: while completing the balloon rosary, it rained!!! poor fellas who were holding the balloons..><
36. kawit's fiesta - july 22..the whole barkada was supposed to go to the carnival to have some rockin' fun, but it rained & our plan crashed. we ended up going home (huhu..T_T)
35. karakol - july 20..the best! haha..our section grabbed the champ's place for streetdancing! hehe.. :-P
34. malen's interview - it wasn't just an ordinary interview, mr. rem (the owner) taught us things about life..and the future..^_^
33. aguinaldo shrine trip - just this december, my groupmates in filipino (alyanna & sed) & i went to freedom park to shoot our project. we explored the whole house of aguinaldo, and i must say, i was impressed! i've always loved anything vintage..and it was such a pleasure to my eyes. ^_^
32. III-st. peter swimming outing - march 15..this was our section's farewell swimming party. it was also great!!! hehe..what i do remember the most was when i got leg cramps (pulikat) in the middle of 6-ft. part of the pool! oh my..here's the stitch: edward & i were about to race from 6ft to 5ft..and as i dove deep, my right leg froze! i nearly drowned, swear! good thing erika was just near me so i immediately grabbed her! poor girl..but i apologized. ^_^ egie & ekay accompanied me to our table..it was just a minor leg cramp..but it was also my first time! thanks to my friends for coming to the rescue (sorry again besz!) ^_^
31. senior's talk - this talk really opened my eyes to the truth. kuya jimmy's (the speaker) witty & hilarious manner of speaking made us understand the topic in a funny way, but man, he's really serious about informing us! hehe..^_^ i learned a lot from this talk.
30. career fair - i got loads of flyers, application forms, & some souvenirs from various colleges & universities! haha..fun..! ^_^
29. sm crash trip - this was last november 8..my supposedly "fun" sm trip w/ closest friends. we were supposed to celebrate my friend's birthday & she would treat us..but someone went missing: the celebrant herself! poor us..no money..we just tried to find ways to enjoy ourselves..but i will never ever forget that day.
28. first day of classes for 2008 - yep..i remember the first thing i did when i stepped on the cement of our school: check the list. oh yeah! i immediately checked if besz & i were classmates, but unfortunately, no. but good thing, though: i'm a marymag! haha..^_^ and my first recess was horrible: i can't find a good drink because all food stalls were occupied! very nice first day.. :-P
27. first day of CAT - well..actually i missed that first day (marc & i went to UP for admission..)
26. UP trip! - yep..the above mentioned ^_^ but before going there, marc, my dad & i stopped by alabang country club first (my tita/ninang is the general manager there..^_^) to eat some omelets..after that we headed straight to UPd for admission. just go through my blog archive about this experience! ^_^
25. handugan 2008 - our last gift-giving as a senior. but sadly, i didn't participate (huhu! T_T) they said that we, regular students, are nor required to do that. so that's why i just decided to go home. but mazy invited eme & me to stay at her place, and we ended up soundtripping there until 4 pm (haha!)
24. first CAT saturday training - the best! haha..this proved that, yeah, being a CAT officer has its perks, but it also has its downfall! haha..but i learned a lot from it, though. ^_^
23. first CAT square meal - also the b-e-s-t!!! haha..i think my viand here is my fave fried chicken (cuz i had no idea of what a square meal is about!). we were challenged to eat our food in 10 counts---w/ a banana on our heads! oh my..i still remember how i managed to finish that big chicken while struggling to dip it on the gravy..ouch! i should have brought a smaller meal..^_^ and i still remember how i got super teary-eyed while eating the banana in 10 counts! what a lunch! haha..but now i'm used to it. ^_^
22. first CAT job - yep, as the new charlie company adjutant. nice..^_^ (for the girls: hairnet? check. hanky? check. nails? check. black socks? check. belt? oops..none ma'am. okei..5 demerits! haha..cool! :-P)
21. first CAT boodle fight - it was FUN! haha..nilatag namin yung mga ulam namin sa dahon ng saging..and we shared food! haha..very nice..^_^
20. eyeglasses issue - well it happened just this november..i nearly lost my eyeglasses! stupid me. i misplaced it in our classroom while powdering my face. i searched everywhere, but my specs were nowhere to be found. so i went home w/o it (huhu T_T) the next day, ishi gave it to me, saying that she found it on the table & just took it home because she thought i already went home. lolz!
19. cassette issue - when my group in p.e. were about to perform our interpretative dance, i hurriedly went to the cassette to plug my mp3..when accidentally, i tripped on ma'am botacion's cassette player! ooh..stupid & clumsy me! i had to pay for the damages (actually, ako nga nagpagawa eh!) hehe..stupid.
18. wallet issue - i lost my wallet while on the way to school! haha..i really cried my eyes out that time! in fact, it left a minor scratch on my left eye. look!:17. intramurals 2008! - last november 5-7..i should have called this the "walking marathon" days..because we didn't really watched the intrams (like before)..all we did was to walk & walk & walk! paiba-iba ng destinations..haha..crazy stuff..^_^
16. independence day - ..and my mom's bday (hooray!) we had a parade from josephine's resort to freedom park..and after that, erika & i did some more "walking"..hehe..from gahak to our house! now we're really crazy! :-P dig in through my old posts!
15. first quarterly exam - it's not really the exam..haha.. :-P my closest friends & i bonded for two days every after exam! hehe..those days were fun..and once sad (cath accidentally erased all unlocked pictures in my sis's digicam, w/c made my ate shie angry!) see my previous blog post about that!
14. flame.wars.flame. - it's funny to remember all the misunderstandings i've had w/ my friends this year (haha..i'm bad!) but those were just petty..simple fights. we're cool now..super! hehe..i've learned how to forgive, but i'm telling you..i can never forget. ^_^
13. filipino video issue - for our first group project in filipino, we had to make a video documentary. and i, being the leader, felt the pressure again. i remember cramming that video because we lacked time shooting the interview (haha..)..i stayed up until 1 am finishing that! well a friend was w/ me throughout the editing process..so he also slept late. ^_^ very unforgettable!
12. christmas reunion - our annual family reunion (morales clan!) quite happy because this was the first time i ever, ever participated in family games (haha!) and not to mention the moolah i got! haha..nice..^_^
11. field trip - my second & last field trip in high school! it was fun..especially the MOP & PETA part! haha..see my previous blog post about that! ^_^
10. christmas party '08! - the best-est xmas party i've ever had! haha..^_^ aside from the senior's jamming w/ kuya pau (yeah!), i also had fun w/ the disco (though i don't really dance)!!!:-P haha..i also have a blog post about that nga pala..^_^

♥ love story by taylor swift ♥
c'mon..check it out! ^_^

Love Story - Taylor Swift

♥ we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes and the flashback starts
i'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
see you make your way through the crowd
and say hello, little did i know

that you were romeo
you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said "stay away from juliet"
and i was crying on the staircase
begging you please don't go

and i said
romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess
it's a love story, baby, just say yes

so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

oh, oh, oh

'cause you were romeo,
i was a scarlet letter
and my daddy said "stay away from juliet"
but you were everything to me
i was begging you please don't go

and i said
romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess
it's a love story, baby, just say yes

romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
this love is difficult, but it's real
don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
it's a love story, baby, just say yes

oh oh

i got tired of waiting
wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you was fading
when i met you on the outskirts of town

and i said
romeo save me, i've been feeling so alone
i keep waiting for you but you never come
is this in my head, i don't know what to think
he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
and said

marry me, juliet, you'll never have to be alone
i love you and that's all i really know
i talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
it's a love story, baby, just say yes

oh, oh, oh, oh

'cause we were both young when i first saw you ♥

it was introduced to me by a friend..actually this came w/ a little "teasing" (hehe..^_^) i just hope i wouldn't be teased again for liking this song! ttfn! ^_^

advance happiness

2008-12-19T00:29:00.000-08:00

my last christmas party as a high school student happened yesterday (ooh..i mean yester-night..^_^) it was also my happiest..^_^

of all the christmas parties that i've had for the past 4 years, i must say, i really enjoyed the last! well..aside from the grand jamming w/ kuya pau (you're the best!:-P), i was also happy to receive some of the best-est gifts from the best-est people..^_^ thank you guys! the food was also fine..and so was the choir competition (we won third place! yay! ^_^) and, knowing that that is my last as a senior, i enjoyed every bit of it..even the disco (but i admit that i'm not used to dance).

i will never forget that night. december 18, 2008. very memorable. very grand. i appreciated everything, and i am so glad that i went through this. to all, advance merry christmas & a happy new year! ^_^

haay..mumble-rumble-jumble-scramble..help me decide! T_T

electrified

2008-12-10T02:02:00.000-08:00

uhmm..where will i begin?!

for the first time in my life, i was electrified. but in a good way. and it was because of our retreat held just this december 8, 9 & 10. for three days & two nights, we stayed in capuchin retreat center in lipa, batangas. well..never been to that place. ^_^ armed w/ 2 heavy bags, i entered that place w/ so many questions stuck in my head: what will this retreat be like? am i gonna cry? would i enjoy this retreat? what kind of activities will we be doing? what will happen?!

for three days & two nights, i was enlightened. i was being fed up spiritually, emotionally, & physically (the buffet was great..but i must say, those 6 meals a day were too much for my tummy to take..^_^). i thought the sessions would be boring, but i was wrong---very wrong. our retreat master, kuya pau, was the greatest speaker ever! i mean, he was never boring. there were no dull moments w/ him. ^_^ he's so cool..greetings kuya pau!

this retreat helped me realize life. it healed my heart & soul. w/ each activity, i feel like i'm splashed w/ clean water. i feel refreshed. and i don't know why, but when i went to a hut & i was alone there, i found peace. the nature's very kind to offer me such peace & quiet ambiance. and when i read some Bible readings, i felt relieved. i admit it, that was my first time to ponder what the Bible says. and i felt happy. i also liked the fact that through this spiritual gathering, i was able to communicate w/ my schoolmates. i got the chance to mingle w/ them & hear their thinkings about me. i think i was lucky that they were honest enough to tell the truth. i was also flattered when, for the very first time, my best friend hugged me very tight. i know she haven't done that to me before, & because of that i thought she doesn't consider me as a best friend. but now i realized that i should widen my mind & just try to understand each other. i was also able to reconcile w/ my past enemy..we're now back to normal. ^_^

i can't believe it, but because of this retreat, my mind was opened. i appreciated life even more. i now know the sacrifices my parents make for us. and i realized that life is nonsense w/o LOVE. as my favorite quote says, "love makes the world go round." ^_^ thanks to this special gathering, i am now a better person. and most especially, i became closer to Him. Lord, thank You for lending us Your ears..for allowing Yourself to listen to our pain. as what we all say, JC..you're the MAN! ^_^

i will never forget those days. for me, nothing beats our retreat! all together now:
"God is great?!
All the time!
All the time?!
God is great!
All the way?!
Yeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!=P"
goodnight folks..this blog entry is getting long. to sum up my experience, it was definitely, totally, super GREAT!!! ^_^ ciao!

snappies here! ^_^^iv-st. mary magdalene..the best section evah! ^_^^the place..i love capuchin! ^_^
^just posing..=P
^w/ my friends..^_^
^the first time my beszie hugged me! yay! ^_^
^w/ kuya pau..^_^
^w/ emerrize..
^..and mazy! they were my roommates..^_^

..ciao na talaga! ^_^

going french

2008-12-06T02:04:00.000-08:00

i remember watching the 2008 oscar awards w/ my dad & sis months ago, and i was impressed w/ the best actress, marion cotillard. she starred in a true-to-life movie, which brought her the most prestigious oscar award. in the movie, she played edith piaf, one of paris's greatest singers. i was enthralled by the way she portrayed the old lady role. i was in awe when i saw that. no doubt she won as the best actress.

inspired by her greatness, i searched the movie on youtube, and i found myself watching all the trailers of la vie en rose (the movie). here's one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzEJ7NV_g98

i also found a video from that movie, w/ marion cotillard singing one of edith piaf's hits in 1960 entitled "non je ne regrette rien" w/c simply means "no regrets". i'm actually trying to sing it right now (haha!). i found it interesting..it's a nice song. ^_^ check it out..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9eH0nmy0og

..and the lyrics..

Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu`on M`a Fait, Ni Le Mal
Tout Ca M`est Bien Egal
Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
C`est Paye, Balaye, Oublie, Je Me Fous Du Passe

Avec Mes Souvenirs J`ai Allume Le Feu
Mes chagrins, Mes Plaisirs,
Je N`ai Plus Besoin D`eux
Balaye Les Amours Avec Leurs Tremolos
Balaye Pour Toujours
Je Repare A Zero

Non, Rien De Rien, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien
Ni Le Bien Qu`on M`a Fait, Ni Le Mal
Tout Ca M`est Bien Egal

discontented?! na-ah..

2008-11-29T03:24:00.000-08:00

i just had my hair trimmed today..well, tonight. inabot na kami ng gabi dun sa parlor..haizzt! anyway, while having my tresses cut, carmi (the taga-gupit..) & i had a little "hair" talk.

jane: ahm..carmi, advisable pa ba ako magpa-rebond?

carmi: oo naman..healthy pa naman ang hair mo eh.

jane: ganun..eh sabi ng mom ko super masakit daw sa anit..

carmi: oo! masakit talaga yun saka nakakangalay..

jane: awtz..tapos 7 hours pa?!

carmi: oo..

jane: naku lagot..!

oh well..should i have my hair rebonded or not? i know i should be contented w/ my natural curly hair..yeah, i like it. but what i don't like about my hair is that, it's dried to death! oh my..i don't know. i also get worried about my anit..baka mapaiyak ako sa sobrang sakit! hehe..but, i really don't know. i can't decide yet. haizzt..! ><

poverty kids

2008-11-27T05:03:00.000-08:00

poverty is truly felt by all of us in the modern times. and as you walk along the streets of my hometown, you'll find many poverty-stricken kids.

before going home w/ my friends, i bought some chips & water..y'know, i want something to munch & sip on while walking..^_^ then as we reached the park, a boy---a typical poor boy---came running towards me & started to stretch his hand (in the manner of asking). at first, i politely said to him, "naku kuya, ito na nga lang pagkain ko eh." i know i should have just ignored him, but i can't help it. i started to walk again when he followed me! i changed my way, but he still kept on following me w/ his stretched arm! my friends started to tell him to just go, but he wouldn't budge. he kept on nudging me, but as we reached a crowded place, he just vanished.

maybe he just gave up. but what can i do? i don't want to toletate those kids. i don't want them to wait for me every afternoon for some food. i'm not helping them in that way..i'm just making them more lazy. i don't want to entertain them. now my eyes are open..poverty is really all over our country. haizzt..lesson learned: don't eat while on the way! ^_^

occupied..!

2008-11-24T02:30:00.000-08:00

i'm kind of preoccupied at the moment..currently busy w/ everything! haizzt..it's not really easy, but i do hope the workload would lessen. advance happy holidays to all of you! ^_^

mixed up emotions

2008-11-17T02:53:00.001-08:00

"forgive and forget." who doesn't know this quotable quote? well..it has been adopted by some kind-hearted spirits. but i still believe that..yeah, it's easy to forgive..but it's NOT THAT EASY TO FORGET. that's the sad reality. haizzt..

it really hurts when the person you treated as best friend betrayed you. imagine the 2 tight years that you've spent together. yep, i still have another best friend, but then, nothing beats her company. i enjoy every moment we're together, knowing that we both understand each other. but then, all of a sudden, things fell down & were shattered just like that. life seems to be in a fast pace now. yesterday we were inseparable, then the next day we were more than enemies..private matters (not yet ready to share them..^_^). all the 2 years that had passed---good & not-so-good memories---was broken into pieces. i was angry, betrayed, & mad at that time..but i was also in deep agony because the person i treated as my best friend did that to me. i couldn't believe it.

but then, just this morning, everything seemed to be quite different. the then-feuding buds are now friends again. well..she came up to me & apologized. i obliged. but forget that fast?! na-ah..

ok she's already forgiven, but i can't forget what she did easily. for a best friend who's hurt..it's not that easy. i am a very sensitive person, and i don't get mad easily (tampo..yes), but once i get angry, i really burst. haizzt..life. anyway, might as well not bother myself w/ those things. i don't want to get wrinkles at this young age. (just making myself a bit lighter ^_^) ok..jane-y now signing out!

hotel 626

2008-11-14T05:44:00.000-08:00

i remember jumping w/ joy when i discovered something that will make that game running. well..i regret that now! ^_^

oh my gosh..i don't want to play that game again! i know it says, "face your fears.", but i can't face them! in short, i was scared on the part of the camera..i kept on clicking it then a freaky-looking, blue-eyed girl appeared before my very scared eyes! oh my..it just keeps on running in my mind right know! after seeing that, i immediately turned off its window. i really can't go on w/ that game..! haizzt.. :-I

ok, i'm a scaredy-cat. ok, i'm a coward. but that's me..i can't pretend that i'm brave even though i'm not. i can't make people believe that i can do it even though i already want to hide behind the sheets. oh well..that;'s life. all i know is..natakot talaga ako dun sa hotel 626 na yun! haizzt..!

around kawit in 3 days

2008-11-08T05:11:00.000-08:00

trust me, it's veeeerrryyy tiring! haizzt..! ^_^

since the bridge's construction is still on going, students are advised to take the centennial road. so that's why last intramurals, all my chums & i did was to walk, walk, walk! here's the update:

november 5-->> lunchtime: from school to georosville subd. imus (to my friend's house)..uwian: from school to sakayan ng bus (centennial)
november 6-->> lunchtime: from school to georosville subd. imus..then pabalik (how's that??!)..uwian: from school to binakayan..
november 7-->> lunchtime: from school to again, binakayan..!

that's the major reason why i have 3 paltos right now..so i find it hard to choose a good footwear because of my wound..kailangan pa ngang i-band aid eh! haizzt..oh well, that's life. you have to experience eveything for you to be prepared. and i must say, even though after each walkathon i'd fall asleep, i am prepared already! ^_^

i'm currently loving..

2008-11-02T02:53:00.000-08:00

..this song..

I Dont Know Much - Aaron Neville

thanks to my sister..who, at 2 am, is still sound-tripping..for this song. i like it so much..that it kept on playing in imeem.com! haha..talk about super addict..^_^

me & the watch

2008-10-30T03:43:00.000-07:00

for the last 4 years, it has served as my official wrist accessory, my honest time-teller. but, sad to say, it's life is over now. :'(

i remember having my timex watch back when i was a freshman in high school. it came as a free item w/ the watch my dad bought, so he gave me the free one. ^_^ since then, that watch never left my wrist (that's why i have a mark there that shows the color difference)..but i do remove it sometimes, but oftentimes, i wear it. i like it because it's unique & it has this glow-in-the-dark light, which i find cute. ^_^ i do remember the time na nasira yung ilaw na yun. my classmate was pressing it over & over again and then the next day, sira na siya. :-I

then just last sunday, when i was about to get it on the table, i noticed that it was still fixed to 1: 10..there, the battery's gone. good thing dad spared me another watch. but nothing can outstand my original companion. for me, my timex watch is still the best! :-P

blah..songs..blah

2008-10-27T04:15:00.000-07:00

i don't know why, but i think my tune set-up is back to mandarin hits. oh yeah! haha..^_^ as an evidence of my seemingly-never ending worship (awtz worship?!) to chinese & taiwanese hits, i made a separate folder for my "asian songs"..^_^

last week, i downloaded songs from F4..yep, i'm still a fan! hehe..i love their songs! that's why i added vic zhou's make a wish & a gentle goodnight to my playlist. then right now, i'm playing S.H.E.'s yi yan wan nian..wanna check them out? ok..^_^

Yi Yan Wan Nian - S.H.E.

A Gentle Goodnight - Vic Zhou

Make A Wish - F4

there..enjoy as much as i enjoy listening to those! haha..^_^

hello short-time vacay!

2008-10-24T06:02:00.000-07:00

yep..sembreak's approaching! the official date is on monday, october 27..but heck, could i just include the weekend before 27?! definitely! hehe..^_^ it is only for one week..and on november 3, we will be donning our uniforms again. then days after..it's intramurals! wow..time really flies so fast!

oh, and btw (by the way..for those who don't know ^_^), it's our barkada's monthsary tomorrow! i kept greeting them "advance!" and yet, only a handful (awtz "a handful"! kumusta ka naman?!) acknowledged my warm greeting (ouch!). anyway, whatever. :-P

"loneliness is where i live.." <<-- that super speaks for myself! haha..i just remembered an instance earlier this afternoon..when i was in the library---alone. i mean, i didn't bring a friend w/ me..i just went there & sat on one corner---alone. i guess i'm at my most emotional (well, i have a lot of problems..all which hit me at the same time!) at that moment. i just felt happy & at peace on that one corner..it feels great! haha..i just shared it. nothing more..^_^

dleif pirt

2008-10-16T03:11:00.000-07:00

haha..i'll make fun of this post! haha..i like the title..^_^

well, what happened yesterday is really share-worthy. so i'll share it with you! haha..ok i'll start. yesterday was our field trip (and the senior's last..sniff sniff! :'( sad!). you want a timeline?! ok..madali lang akong kausap! hehe..!^_^

3:50 am-->> i woke up (yaikz! so early! haha..). since it was still early, i listened to my mp3 first & wrote down the lyrics of bugoy drillon's "paano na kaya" (i love that song!). then after that..i ate, prepared, & went out. to the freedom park!

5:55 am-->> the exact time i got on freedom park. hehe..naliligaw pa nga ako nung una eh! but then again, i got in the bus before it leaves. ^_^

6:15 am-->> we were off to our first itenerary: the manila ocean park! while travelling, we were entertained first by our tour guide who's an alumnus from SMMS! haha..i just forgot her name.^_^

ok..that ends my timeline! cuz..i forgot the times when we got to the iteneraries! haha..i'll just give the tidbits to you! ^_^

1st itenerary-->> manila ocean park! although we waited long, i'm telling you folks, it's worth the wait! the underwater creatures, the water itself, the large aquarium..it's really amazing! haha..i have the pictures! here..:^tHymAnGeRzZ bino..egie..vic..me!..jecy..ange..cess..& cel!
^the starfish is hard! hehe..^_^^me & maxx..emoting by the aquarium! hehe..^_^^hello there kuya diver! ^_^

2nd itenerary-->> museo ng kagitingan! honestly, this is the most boring itenerary. well, i just spoke the truth! alangang sabihin kong nag-enjoy ako kahit hindi naman..! we just went inside..looked at the dummies..and walked out, period! then we were told that it's ok to take pictures, but when we went inside, we were told by the annoying lady there that taking pix is not allowed! haizzt..next itenerary please!^there..that's the only snappie i could get..(ho-hum!)

3rd itenerary-->> ninoy aquino wildlife park! ok..we ate our lunch here..then we just stayed inside the bus because we can't do anything there! hehe..but i really want to stroll around because it's pretty boring in the bus, so i asked sedrick (hi!) to accompany me to the zoo. and here's the outcome!:^hello there! how's it goin'?!
^cute bird..haha..

4th itenerary-->> PETA for the play "ang batang rizal"! it was spectacular! the actors, the story, the whole package--it was hilarious! saludo ako sa kanila..kasi napatawa nila kami! haha..galing! it was great..the message was great too! ^_^^the cast of "ang batang rizal"!

^ishi..pepito!..me!
^me..bambam..and mayor rapcu!
^ella..ishi..& me!

last itenerary (well, is it an itenerary?!) -->> we just passed by ABS-CBN, GMA, PBB & PDA houses. ^_^ yun lang yun..and then we were given fun facts along the way. then it's..uwian time!^pinoy big brother hauz!
^hmm..GMA 7..but i'm not a kapuso..^_^

haizzt..it was tiring, but at the same time fun. it was the perfect bonding moment of us seniors..now that we only have 5 or 6 months before we leave this school (aww!) so it was really unforgettable..^_^

dumplings

2008-10-05T00:35:00.000-07:00

my voice has been harrassed all week. practice here, practice there! and then, earlier this morning, we, the smms choir, performed for the st. mary magdalene parish's english mass. whee..! and..we got positive comments. ^_^

after the church stint..alyanna (hi!), marc (hi!), and i went to sm. well, we got there at past 10 am..so it's still early. we just strolled around, & by 11 am, we ate lunch. well, it's not the usual lunches i've had. this time, i went chinese. ^_^ we headed to paotsin (new to my ears..i actually thought it's pao-chi!). i can't find a good meal so i just ordered pork dumplings. i've never tasted a dumpling before..and i thought i'd just give it a try. hehe..frankly, i would never buy that thing again! haha..^_^ i didn't like it. i swear, naumay ako! pork dumplings..now i know what that tastes like!

it's really good to try new things, but next time, i will never try that again. i'd rather go for that another chinese noodles macy introduced to me..^_^ peace y'all!

aloha!

2008-10-01T01:12:00.000-07:00

i'm back! haizzt..after days of not logging in here (due to my sched!), i'm finally back!

nothing much to say, though. just one thing: i have no rest! haha..look: monday-fridays, school days. then saturday we have CAT (for officers!). and every sunday we will have our choir at SMMP! hanep..that's all. i'm having a hard time to update too..it feels that i don't have the energy to share a feeling or story. ^_^ forgive me for that..^_^

i do hope next time, i could have the power to blog..^_^

lesson not learned

2008-09-16T05:17:00.000-07:00

i've never changed..even though something already happened to me last night!

now, it's different. it was lunch time. i joined my long-time best friends (besz..besh..and bash..heehee!:-P) at the table. but actually i was already finished w/ my lunch (i'm always w/ my classmates for lunch..ever since the cursed day..), so i just chatted with them. then, as a result of my curiosity & katakawan, i took a bit of food from erika..it looks like a crispy chicken leftover or something..well we often do that..sharing of foods. the only difference today is that i have none to share..^_^ anyway, as i tasted that thing, i realized that it's not a chicken-y treat--it's garlic! oh my..i hurriedly bought water & chewed a lot of candies! hehe..talk about being so matakaw. oh jane stop it!

the next time you see me, just yell, "hey takaw kid!" haha.. :-P seriously?! don't do that. i'm just crazy when i let people know this. harhar..^_^ lol.

revenge of the ants

2008-09-15T03:38:00.000-07:00

for this night i learned a very important lesson: before you eat something, check if there are any creepy, little creatures lying on your food!

i admit..matakaw ako. from the start, i've been very fond of food. i like to eat..and eat..and eat. but earlier this night an icky, unexpected thing happened to me. oh my..i just pity my mouth and tongue..until now.

kasi po ganito yan..when i got home, i grabbed the nearest pan de manila paperbag (with bread!) and munched on one pandesal. on the first bite, i felt something unusual in my tongue. it' like something had bitten it. i immediately pulled off the bread--only to realize that it's full of mean, red ants! super shocked, i quickly dropped the bread & headed to the sink. naka-ilang mumog ako nun! haha..i swear it really frightened me!

so that's why from now on, as a polite kid, i'll check my food. that incident left me with itchy mouth & tongue. sorry for the all-out descriptions. i just want to share the moral lesson to you guys. hooray for the innocent kid! haha.. :-P

commence exercise!

2008-09-14T03:26:00.000-07:00

yesterday..i survived another challenge..a challenge that i will never forget!

yep..it was the CAT training for the officers. you know..we also have meetings ever saturday, so that's why we suffer more than the cadets. :'( so again..we did the PT or the "navy dozen exercise". i remember the night before that, i was telling myself, "yipee! another PT! oh i would love to do that!" well..i take that back! we suffered a lot after that super-exhausting exercise! i even experienced the feeling that i'm lacking oxygen..i had a hard time breathing! one of us even fainted..he was a dear friend (hello!) so i came to the rescue! i hope he appreciated my foot massage.. ^_^

after that..we took a 1-minute exam..learned new drills..then we ate our square meal! yehey! i survived another square meal! my viand was sausage & rice..so i didn't have a hard time eating that..but the only problem (still!) is the banana on my head..actually it slipped after i'm done eating so i stood..that's a rule: if the banna slipped from your head, you must stand while eating..to sum it up..i survived another square meal! yipee! :-D

after that we had a long break..then took drills again (my skin turned dark again!) and finally went home. until now, i still have muscle pains..ouchie! but it is worth the pain..being an officer is worth all the sufferings! haha..like what they say, "no pain..no gain!" ^_^

tuhm-an-jahree!

2008-09-10T04:13:00.000-07:00

before, it was dora the explorer that got my 2 adorable nieces on their toes. they watch it everyday..so you can imagine how the dvd was hardly scratched.^_^ but now the "dora fever" has been put to rest. there's a new sensation that got my 2 cute nieces--and me--hooked.

i can't believe this phenomena had struck me too! i mean..c'mon...tom & jerry is only for kids who doesn't know the sense of cartoon brutality! haha..but seriously, i'm kinda liking that show. whenever i catch a glimpse of that craziness, i sit down & stay glued to the episodes..to the point that i don't get to do all things fast! haha..

i think i'm a big kid. ^_^ i enjoy seeing tom chasing jerry..i am fascinated by the way they make people laugh (even thouh it's an oldie cartoon)..i am delighted everytime i see their funny-to-the-bones tactics..somehow it makes me realize that i'm still a kid at heart..that even a chuckle makes me laugh..that even the simplest cartoon made for kids can still tickle my laughter box..oh my.. :-D

when my mom buys a new dvd of cartoon pleasures..the "tom & jerry" fever will eventually get out of my nieces's heads..but for me..i think it'll stick to my mind. viva la tuhm-an-jahree! ^_^

for the first time

2008-08-30T07:54:00.000-07:00

the movie + real experiences = for the first time! ^_^

my family & i went to sm today! times like this comes only once in a while..so i'm just glad! my sister & i decided to watch a movie (it's obvious in the title!) while my parents, w/ my nieces, go shopping. and my for the first time experiences are!:

when we went to the cinema floor, i noticed a smoke way before i stepped on the 3rd floor. then to my right, janitors & other staff of sm are cleaning up one of the cinema rooms..looks like it just survived a fire! i panicked a bit..i asked one of the personnels who happened to pass by us. he said that a wire just sparked & maybe, made a minor fire. then i said to my sister, "wag na kaya tayo manood. baka kasi sign na 'to!" we tried to go to the other side of the cinema & thankfully, there were no commotions. that was a first for me! i've never seen a scene like that..and it made me really alarmed!

actually, we were planning to watch for the first time, but somehow when we got there, i felt the urge to watch a very special love instead. but in the end, it's the first decision who won..when we were near the entrance, ang daming lumabas! as in they could be compared to a whole batallion! that was another first time..i thought, "this movie is really a hit!" when we were already inside the cinema, we were not able to sit on the upper part because they were crowded! so no choice, dun kami sa baba. a couple of minutes later, many people entered the cinema, and the next thing we knew, people were already standing because there are no more seats left! we were lucky enough to be sitting there..i thought. ^_^ that's another first time!

it's also my first time to watch a movie of richard gutierrez..and i'm not that used to seeing him. haha! :-P that's all. good night! time check: 11:35 in the evening! gotta go! ^_^

shattered emotions

2008-08-29T06:40:00.000-07:00

i thought this is going to be one of the usual fridays..but this day was a bit ruined and destroyed. thanks to those people who, eventually, made my day an irritating one. ^_^ <<- that smiley's an irony. this is the real: >:-(

i won't rant about everything that happened, i just want this feeling to be out of my system (or at least 3/4 of it)..so i will not explode right then & there! i want to confess..i know, i've been nice to everyone for the past 4 years of my secondary life. as much as possible, i try to please everyone. but it's not what you call plastikan, i just want to have many friends & less enemies. but i think now's the time to loosen up. i've been very nice to these people..to the point that they think i'm not able to be mad anymore. ok, the truth is, i rarely get mad at people. i don't know why, but as much as possible, i don't want any quarrels or misunderstandings..because i know that that will only leae me with wrinkle. but i'm just a human being like everyone else! i get hurt & pissed off too! noon, binabalewala ko na lang yung iba kasi akala ko ako yung mali. but now i guess i have to get up & move. i have to show them that i can be angry also..that i can't be good at all times..and that i can be an evil when they abuse my kindness. >:-(

i shouldn't be treated like this. no one should be treated like this! we all have the right to be mad when it's necessary, right?! so now i'm gonna show the other side of me..i will not let them raise their voice on me!!! now i'm really angry. >:-(

karanasan

2008-08-28T04:32:00.000-07:00

sa aking pakikiisa sa tinaguriang "araw ng wika", hayaan ninyong isulat ko ang aking mga karanasan sa araw na ito gamit ang aking katutubong wika. isasantabi ko muna ang wikang ingles dahil minsan lamang ako makakapagsulat sa ganitong paraan.

kanina ay naganap ang programa para sa araw ng wika--na dati ay buwan ng wika, na naging linggo ng wika. nagsimula ang programa sa pagpapakitang-gilas ng mga estudyante mula sa iba't ibang baitang sa mga hurado. siya nga pala, namomroblema ako sa kung anong susuotin habang nanonood dahil ang sabi sa amin ng aming guro ay dapat magsuot kami ng filipiniana. wala naman akong masuot o mahiraman man lang, kaya nag-desisyon ako na wag na lang umuwi sa tanghali at mag-uniporme na lang. di bale nang walang dagdag na puntos.. :-)

matapos ang 2 1/2 oras ng paglalagi sa aming silid aralan, dumating na ang oras ng paglilista ng attendance (pasensya na hindi ko alam ang salitang tagalog para dyan!). nun ko napagtanto na gusto ko pala magsuot ng filipiniana at ayokong maki-isa sa mga naka-uniporme lang. dali-dali akong naghanap ng tsinelas at damit..pero walang may extra. inalok ako ni mazy ng mga gamit na yun at lampas ala-una na ng nakabalik kami mula sa bahay nila. nagpalit agad kami ng damit at nahiya ako sa aking suot. waaaaah!!! :-O

ilang ulit kong tinatanung sa mga kaibigan ko--miski sa mga hindi ko naman kaibigan--kung pangit ba ang suot ko. sabi ng iba, ok lang daw. sabi naman ng iba, mukha akong si mama mary. sabi naman ng iba, mukha akong arabo. hay naku..mabuti na lang at nagsimula na ang pangalawang parte ng programa..nanood kami mula sa itaas. bago pala iyan (pasensya na sa magulong pagkukwento!) ay nagkaroon muna ng presentasyon ng pagkain ang mga estudyante. at sa kasamaang palad, hindi ako nakatikim ng aming inihanda na palabok. :-( balik tayo sa ikalawang parte ng programa. pinanood namin ang muslim dance ng mga kamag-aral namin sa ikaapat antas. at napahanga nila ako. galing!

sa pagtatapos ng programa ay sinabi ang mga nanalo. at lahat ng mga sumali mula sa ikaapat na antas ay nanalo!!! nakakatuwa naman. :-) sa uwian, magkakasama kaming umuwi ng mga ka-barkada ko. at dyan po nagtatapos ang aking kwento para sa araw na ito. yun lang po at maraming salamat! :-)

hidden something?!

2008-08-26T02:26:00.000-07:00

yesterday, while we (my sis & i) were cleaning our study room, i found a piece of paper inside my CD case..and it says:

"♥when we first met, i know we didn't click
but as days passed of knowing each other;
i realized that there's something special about you
a tingling sensation comes from the inside, i don't know what to do!
i always long for your presence, i know this is not a normal essence
i smile whenever i see you, but get gloomy whenever that's through
i can't stop thinking about your face, it gets me in a fast pace
though we don't see each other more often;
i always pray to God that He would soften
these things and i wish that you always think of me
as much as i think of you.♥"

oh my..i can't believe i wrote that! i think that was dated..uhmm..months ago?! i'm inspired at that time..and i wrote that for my ex-crush (secret!). then i realized that, when a person is really inspired, he/she can really make things out of the ordinary. look at me now..i'm not inspired so i can't make good poems like that! haha.. :-P actually, is that good?! hmm..comment me your reactions! :-P

experiences

2008-08-24T05:06:00.000-07:00

being one of the candidates for CAT officers has its own perks & pitfalls..really!

yesterday we had our CAT training--exclusive for aspiring officers only! the exercises were tough! actually, masakit pa nga yung katawan ko eh! but i had fun, knowing that it will benefit me! hehe.. :-P after that we were dried under the sun..practicing drills..and marching non-stop! haha..that left me with dark complexion! T_T hehe! :-P

and for the first time in my life, i was forced to eat ampalaya! well..i'll admit it, i don't like eating veggies! while i'm eating that, my tears roll endlessly! but i'm glad that i did that..i did something good for myself! that was, again, done in the "square meal" manner..you know, with the counting & the banana on the head. but the operation was considered successful--hindi ko na nabuga yung tubig! next recipe: saluyot with alugbati! oh my..i think i should start practicing..eat veggies! :-P

i'm still waiting for my rank..well i'm not expecting to be the corp commander anymore! hehe.. :-P zai jan!^_^

hassle

2008-08-22T06:25:00.000-07:00

actually, my plan for today is, when i get home i would sleep..but i wanna share my experiences because if i don't do it right now, it will vanish in my mind. :-)

yesterday was the most dreading, stressful & irritating night i had for this year. imagine, i spent 6 hours in front of the computer, non-stop! oh my..and it was because of that project i mentioned on my last entry. i started editing at 7:30 pm & i slept at 1:30 am! take note: we still have classes the next day! so i really don't have enough sleep until now. my head really ached last night..good thing my friend sedrick (special mention!) stayed with me--through yahoo messenger. he offered to aid/help me with our project (though he's not my groupmate)..so he waited for me to finish the movie. as in..until midnight he's there! i kept on saying, "pasensya na ha!", "sorry talaga naaabala a na!", "pasensya na talaga!!!". and he kept on replying, "ok lang un" & "^_^". i didn't know there's a person who was really willing to help you even though it means sacrificing on his part, too. thanks heartless..you're such a good friend! :-)

this morning, i did my project in health the moment i got to school. i thought i would never make it, but thankfully, i finished ahead of time (phew!). then by recess sed accompanied me to the computer lab to finish my project (oh btw..our computer malfunctioned last night! it wasn't able to save our project file into a movie file..so yun..!) but it was closed. by lunch time, we decided to drop by rejoice's house para maki-save. but it was no use..it didn't work. i just accepted OUR fate. :-(

after that, sed & i rushed to the school because we still have to change to CAT attire! pinadala ko kay dad yung damit ko eh..good thing i made it before the seminar began. anyway, the seminar's about "teen sexuality & other values". our guest speaker's pretty funny..actually nangalay nga yung jaw ko kakatawa eh! haha.. :-P i learned a lot from that seminar..and it also gave me the creeps (computer games are bad! they use "demonic" symbols like the pentgram & the inverted cross!). then after that we had our CAT.. :-)

..speaking of CAT..we will have a training tomorrow! oh..only candidates for officers. the menu: ampalaya con itlog! i should get ready..another square meal coming up! ok i really feel tired. xie xie for reading! zai jan fellas! :-P

brain spa?!

2008-08-20T01:13:00.000-07:00

problems never leave me..even just for a minute! poor brain..it really deserves a "brain spa"..!

i don't know..i'm just confused. projects here, activitie there..lessons here, reviews there..our lesson in health really fits me well (i'm mentally ill!!!). i need a day to rest..to unwind..to relax! a day without the usual craziness of life & the presence of any pending problems!

our project in one subject gives me headache..edit here, shoot there. but i don't blame anyone or anything. it's just that, why do i always have to take charge of everything?! as a leader i can't help but to worry when it comes to certain group projects because..i want everything polished MY way. and i think that's the problem in me. i should let them do this, do that. but i don't know..arrrgghh!!! but one thing's for sure: when monday comes, i'll be hassle-free! haaay.. :-)

but..as for now, i have to face the crap. i have to do it. i have to finish it. and i have to make sure that everything falls into place! when all of these are done..i will CELEBRATE!!! :-P

no rest..

2008-08-17T05:57:00.000-07:00

it is said that sunday should be rest day..but for me?! heck..who has time to rest?!

we had our video documentary shooting for today..hmm..until now, hindi pa kami tapos. naman kasi eh..haha! :-P so we shot scenes..and then we can't go home!--err--to sm! it was raining so hard kanina..and we don't have an umbrella! presenting, the model students! haha.. :-P eme lent us umbrellas & mazy & i went to sm for some printing business..also she introduced me this noodle-with-meat-meal..and you know what?! as i ordered mine, aba, natapon! my clumsiness attacked again..mazy paid for extra noodles.. (thanks!) i didn't like it much (aside from the fact that it's spicy!). after that, we went to kirin kirin, genevieve gozum & preppy for some clothes-checking! hehe.. :-P

just tired..now i still have to do some editing job..(sniff sniff!) :-I

candidate-ness!

2008-08-16T03:50:00.000-07:00

being an aspiring CAT officer is never easy..yeah great! :-P at first, i can't feel the pressure of being one. until this afternoon..wenkz! hmm..disaster happened..! :-)

at 11 am this morning, we were assembled at the quadrangle (the usual place!) for our CAT training-slash-exam! We were given 6 questions, some are essay type, & some are shocking (write the Lupang Hinirang..how's that for a Filipino student?!) after that, all candidates for CAT officers were asked to stay for our lecture that lasted for..roughly 4 hours!

but first we need to eat our packed lunch..we were asked to bring a banana & i had no idea that it doesn't only function as a dessert..! we were asked to do a "square meal"! at first, i didn't know what that means..but erika gave that shocking stare, which is i know was not good! well, her stare was right: IT WAS NOT GOOD!!! imagine, we were told to sit only 3 inches of our butt! oh my..then i thought that's it..but, we were asked to put the banana on top of our head! now how am i supposed to eat with that thing on my head, huh?! :-O then here's the twist: we will eat with a time limit & counting! oh my..really oh my!!! i had the hardest time eating, i swear! in fact, i never got the chance to enjoy my fried chicken & pork with gravy! hmmmmpp!!! >:( plus, the banana kept sliping from my head, so it was pretty irritating. then there's the water thing..

..we had 3 counts to drink water once in a while..at first drink, the banana slipped from my head so my time was consumed on getting the banana..! second time: i drank the right amount of water..good! then there's the third try: i think i panicked a bit, so i hurried my drinking..there was still water in my mouth when i heard alvin (special mention!) laugh! i laughed also so guess what happened?! naluwa ko po ang tubig, bow! that happened in front of my batchmates..it was embarrassing! good thing no one teased me about that after the training..and good thing the commandant didn't reprimand me! after eating, he just conducted lessons.

hindi pa ako ganap na officer ah..pero grabe! but even though i already experienced this kind of thing, i don't wish to quit. because i know that quitting only means i don't have confidence on myself. just like when i was assigned as platoon leader last week, i knew i sounded like a dork, but i just brushed off all the negative vibes & told myself, "so what?! mas maganda nga pag matining boses mo eh, nakakatulig!" and i also know that we were made to experience these for our own..never quit! never surrender! aja! tira tira!!! :-P

hell in heaven week

2008-08-16T02:52:00.000-07:00

oh yeah..now yah confused?!

quarterly exams passed quickly & quite un-noticeably..i can't say that that was my first quarterly exam since i had my first when i was in freshman year (heehee..). i said it's "un-noticeably" because i didn't feel the urge to study (for a studious student like me (what?!)..that's a no-no!). let me tell you about my exams:

august 13, wednesday: first in line...filipino! i wasn't able to get a plus-20 from that dreaded question when we had a pre-test (arrgggghhh!!!), but i think i was able to ace that with flying colors (aww..!) next: statistics! stat was pretty easy..i just don't know if i made it..haha!:-P after the exam, my friends & i decided to go to patnubay academy because of some business..i met chenneth there! haaay..after years of no communication! after that, we hung out at my place..took pix using my sis's cam..and cath accidentally deleted all pix! oh my..ate shie's mad at me nga eh..huhu.. :'( yah i know i should have been responsible! don't impose it more! (am i talking to myself?!) hehe.. :-P

august 14, thursday: m.a.p.e.h. time! it was kinda hard..i kept on mixing everything from anything! haha..! next: physics..it was kinda hard..only because my mind doesn't function when it comes to getting the speed, blah blah blah! then there was computer: i didn't study much..hehe..i told you i can't feel the quarterly exam! :-P after that we hung out again at my place..uploaded the spare pix we had after cath & i cried our eyes out.. :-P here are some pix..:

^posing for a pic! haha.. :-P

^hey, meet my besz erika & besh catherine...waaah.. :-P

^me..cath..erika..darlene on top!

^more photo-opz..
^parang di galing sa iyak nuh?! hehe.. :-P

august 15, friday: english! ah..my fave ;) i thought it was pretty good! how i wish i passed or got a high grade so i don't appear as mayabang here..! hehe.. :-P then we had economics! i had a hard time thinking of what to draw in test IV..other than that, it was NOT easy! hehe.. :-P then the EASIEST of all..(that's an irony, fyi!) bookkeeping! oh my..i think i failed that one! i'm sure i'm busted in the columnar paper part! just think: i kept on jumbling the "notes payable" to the "revenues" part..and worst of all,my "capital statement" contents were wrong..ALL WRONG!!! arrrggghh!!! and fyi again..it requires a parent's signature (doomed forever!). :-(

also on the same day, i decided to drop by erika & mac's place so we can have some bonding time! hehe..we studied math..they taught me something naman..then we played "harry potter diagon-alley" board game! it was fun to play! it's gonna take forever if i explain it, but the bottomline is: mac & i won! haha.. :-P but erika got all the money..hmp! hehe.. :-D

last day, august 16, saturday (today!): first was math (oohh!!!), another of my favorites (that's another irony for yah!)..was there ever a day that i liked & understood math?! hmm..NO! never! a classmate was asking me questions on how to evaluate that cheverness..and i said, "magpaturo na kayo sa english, wag lang sa math!" and i'm perfectly correct: ever since i started studying, i already hated math. aside from the fact that i hate numbers, i really can't understand it! even though you explain it to me over & over again, i guess you'll just hte me for having a sore throat & dried saliva (haha!). really, that's how as bad as it can get. :-) next! religion..it was easy..we started at 10:40, and i was finished at 11:00..1 hour to go before the C.A.T. time!

since this post is already long..i'm gonna jump on another post! whee..hell in heaven week..what a title! :-P

let's groove!

2008-08-09T05:02:00.000-07:00

august 7, 2008: our section's joint feast day with the "smarthanz"! the pics are taking too long to upload nga eh..hehe.. :-P

we were told earlier by our adviser that our theme will be 70s & 80s style. the moment i heard that, i was so, so, so excited!!! imagine, getting to wear retro outfits..so cool!

st. martha's theme was "pajama party" so they were all in their pantulog.. :-) the feast day was fun..many foods (wahaha!)..many pictures (my sis lent me her digicam! yehey!)..and lots of funny moments (when we went to sm, pinagtinginan ako! haha..retro kasi!). i'm sure our last feast day will always stick in my mind..forever! :-P

so that's it..i just updated! here's a treat: pix galore! :-P

^retro jane-y! :-P

examination month

2008-08-04T03:17:00.000-07:00

yep..i declare august as the "examination month"..hep hep! (hooray!!!) :-P

so you already know (and i think you don't wanna know it again..haha!) that yesterday was the "historical & blood-curdling" UPCAT. and today, we had our "differential aptitude test"! oh gosh..i still haven't recovered yet with that UPCAT! wala pa ngang 24 hours since that entrance test eh. haizzt!

since the DAT consists of 8 subtests (UP calls each subject "subtests"..correct me if i'm wrong!), all of our subjects for the whole day were affected (YES!!!:-P) so what did we do? hmm..we took verbal..math..space relations..mechanical..abstract reasoning..SPELLING (my fave! haha..)..grammar-like..&..ahh!!! i forgot it already (waaah!!!). it was easy, i wish the math here was the kind of math i took in UPCAT! and i love the spelling part! i think i did well in that (tapos bagsak ako dun nuh?!)

aside from the 2 previous exams, there will also be an NSAT (national secondary assessment test) on august 26..oh the crap! then our quarterly exams will be on august 13-16! now this is what i call a TOTAL BRAIN DAMAGE! ooh..better get ready for those band-aids for my brain..haha! :-P

haay..keep your umbrellas open this month..for there might be a brain explosion! hehe..lol. :-P

is it over?!

2008-08-03T06:07:00.001-07:00

i just thought about that, cuz i didn't actually notice it coming..(owws?!) :-)

today is august 3, 2008..and mind you, today is not a very ordinary day for an average student like me! why?! because today is my UPCAT exam!!! and it happened just earlier this afternoon. oh my..it was such a total disaster! haha..kwento ko pa ba ng paisa-isa?! hmm..sige na nga!^peace n' green! haha.. :-P

ok to shorten this thing..we headed for UP at 8:00 am & got there at 10:00 (so early for our time call: 12:30!) while waiting, marc & i just strolled around..sat on the bench..reviewed a little bit..and then the rain poured down. i also experienced an unexpected hassle because it was traffic, and my dad & i were running out of time (it was already 12:20!), so i just decided to "brisk-walk" it out..and thank goodness i made it! haaayy..akala ko male-late ako.. :-P after 5 long hours of neck-stiffing (is there such word as that?! haha!), blood-dripping, mind-twisting, and soul-confusing exam, we finally went home! haha..tulog sa kotse! :-P

this is such a memorable experience..not to mention my first time to take an admission test..sa UP pa! i just hope i succeed..even though i didn't prepare much! hehe..to all who prayed for me (how can i know? meron nga ba?), thanks and i hope they worked (haha!). oh well..let's just wait until february 2009..next challenge: dread the outcome!!! :-O

moments

2008-08-01T05:35:00.000-07:00

hmm..so where should i start?!

yesterday our teacher announced that there will be a procession in the evening..all fourth year students were required to join! classes were cut at 3:30, so i asked my parents if i could stay at besties erika & marc's place..and thankfully they said yes! haha..yipee!:-P so for 3 hours we played tekken 5 & other games on their psp..which was very hurtful! my fingers got a free exercise, though. :-)

well..procession time came..(in honor of st. mary magdalene!) we just walked & walked & walked with a candle at one hand..(the candle holder that i made burned! haha..minus 10!) after that we (barkadz!) attempted to watch the famous toro-toro, but we're not successful! so we just hanged out in the nearby store & ate & shared stories..hmm..! then while waiting for a bus, i saw a live boxing event for the first time! oh my..two boys (not so far from us!) were kicking & punching each other..by that time i wanted to run! haha..it's scary pala when you saw it live..!
^on the way to the procession! :-P

today, august 1, 2oo8: because of the procession last night, our school time has been moved to 8: 00 am (hooray!) so last night i adjusted my alarm clock 30 minutes in advance (for some purposes..). this morning when i woke up, i looked at it..7:45 a.m..so i thought it's only 7:15! so i got up & when i looked at the big clock, it is REALLY quarter to 8! gosh..nataranta talaga ako! good thing it was raining so i wasn't late. but i got late in the afternoon! traffic kasi eh..thank goodness din the guidance counselor was not present, so pinabalik na lang kami sa room. thankfully din tinanggap ako ni ma'am kahit late..haha! :-P

C.A.T. time: beszie was our platoon leader! haha..it was fun..i just hope that when my time comes as a platoon leader, i don't stutter! hehe..nervousness at its best! :-P

i just realized: even though i'm already ipit in a situation, God never fails to save me (or is it the Holy Spirit? or the angels?! hmm..!). thank You po! :-) bye! :-P

never abandoned

2008-07-30T03:25:00.000-07:00

..jinx! it seems like my blog is regularly updated..haha! :-P i always make a way to blog..just because. :-) and since i said that it is never abandoned, i should make kontra of it. kasi baka mahipan ng masamang hangin..baka hindi na ako maka-blog! and i DON'T want that to happen again! hmm..so i have to say jinx to make kontra nga. all together now: JINX!!! :-P

jinx! yesterday, i mentioned that i made a "magic box" for physics..and i heard an unexpected news earlier this morning: i got a line of 8 grade! oh my..it's not that i don't like an 80-plus grade..it's just..my work is just average compared to those who wasn't called. i told you it had just stickers in it.. :-) so i didn't expect it at all. somehow, i'm thinking that what made my project get that grade is that the mirror is not so obvious (haha!)..jinx!

jinx! tomorrow, all seniors must go to the procession..hmm..good thing my parents allowed me to stay in my best friend's house for 3 long hours tomorrow! haha..super bonding.. :-P jinx!

jinx! one more thing: UPCAT's approaching! oh the crap! i have to cram my study..i just hope that what they say is true (that UPCAT will concentrate more on english..). wish me luck folks! ..and all aspiring students who will take the exam too. buena suerte! jinx!

jinx! there..my blog will not be jinx-ed anymore..i just got irritated (ako yung gumawa, ako pa yung na-irita! haha..) because this post is flooded with..all together now for the finale: JINX!!! :-P adios! (jinx!)

whatever!

2008-07-29T01:42:00.000-07:00

i'm in the pc shop right now..haha!=P so what?!

hmm..so what's to blog? nothing much..oh! btw, i just finished making that "magic box" for physics..it was pretty hard (because i was only able to make that in my free time cuz i don't have a SQUARE mirror!)..good thing ms. ullega didn't see me doing nothing on her period (haha!). i kinda liked my project anyway..full of stickers (winnie the pooh!).

and just earlier this minute, i made my math project (through internet). it took me about..uh..let's see..15 minutes! just 50 questions! well..math's not for me, so i think that's the culprit.. :-)

that's it for now! i'm kinda stressed! hehe..di halata.. :-P

stuck again

2008-07-28T01:11:00.000-07:00

i told you, i'm the weirdest kid of them all.

i feel bored. today is monday, and i was supposed to be in school, taking an exam (is that NSAT? i'm not sure..). but, in my shock & unexplanable weakening action, why did the news on that stupid tv announced that there will be no classes today??! why oh why oh why?????! i already prepared my things & was going to sleep..but then suddenly i heard that news! oh shuckingz..

of all the students in this world, i am probably one of those kids who didn't scream when they heard that "classes are suspended" thing. the normal scenario when this happens is this: the tv or radio announces that kind of news..the children shouting & jumping w/ joy..and maybe thanking the cause of the suspension (thank you sa bagyo! haha..) but in my case, i'm not happy! i don't havve enough reason to be happy..! not that i'm a schoolgirl much..but i don't know, i just don't like it when i don't go to school. :-)

i want to go to school! i want to see my friends! i want to buy ice cream! i want to..hmm..ano pa nga ba??! aha! those are the reasons! well, i guess i'm not a homebody anymore. natuto na ba ako mag-laboy? maybe. a day without school means a day without really seeing the second most important people in my life: my friends! so does that mean that i'm only going to school because of my chums?! ah-ah..NO. i like to study, too. but..ok not much. haha! hey..i'm just like any other students in this world..sometimes i get too lazy to study. but with my friends, school looks more interesting to me. hehe.. :-P

gotta go, i only hae 3 minutes (overtime na nga eh!) and my sister's kinda mad na. please leave comments! i want to hear from ya! :-)

good mood

2008-07-27T01:54:00.000-07:00

sorry guys! i forgot to write it earlier..hehe..yan tuloy, i have to make a separate blog entry pa.. :-P

things went ok today! hehe..since i had my first designed blog template, i'e been wanting to change it..the reason? each template didn't suit my taste. then i found my current template! but there's still something wrong: the pink underlined text. my friend commented that that underline thing annoys her--and so me. at first i didn't know how to change that, but she taught me so now..i'm kinda enjoying my site! haha..for the first time it's already fixed & i think i'm not gonna change it---until i learn how to make my own skin! haha..that's it. ttfn! :-P

p.s.: mag-comment naman kayo! hehe.. :-P

a taste of independence

2008-07-27T01:14:00.000-07:00

all doors & windows are closed..and my parents are both out of the house.

early last night, my mom told me that she's gonna leave us today because of some calling issues. the first thing that popped into my mind was, "ooh..i don't know when my dad's coming home, and my mom's going to leave tomorrow..ok jane, get ready for some instructions!" and i was right. my mom told me to wake up early so i can take care of my sis & niece..cook breakfast & lunch..and clean the house. do i really know what these mean?! i'm gonna be the in-charge of everything! we'll be alone!

today: everything went smoothly: my mom & ate left us, we ate breakfast that my mom had prepared us before she left, cleaned the house, & i popped in dora the explorer for my niece (her only joy from the moment she wakes up to the time she's feeling sleepy!). then came lunch time. i cooked rice & chopped some onions & garlic for our viand: corned beef! you know, canned goods are your only glory when your alone..unless you know how to cook (haven't practiced yet..yaikz! nakakahiya ang laki ko na..!). i was preparing the ingredients with ease when suddenly, i remembered that: we DON'T have a can opener! what the heck!!! :-O so my hands suffered big time because i used the knife to open that..thing! and oh, i spent so many minutes opening that..not to mention i released a lot of sweat. eew! :-P

after a long time of trying to open that can with all my might, i successfully made it! it's m first time to open a canned good that way..it's tough, but very nice! and it's much better to eat what you have cooked because you're proud (yihee!).. :-P

until now, my parents's not yet here. my sister's asleep, and my niece's still watchin dora the explorer. me?! just blogging..and out! ;-)

stress-reliever?!

2008-07-25T05:16:00.000-07:00

after a really stressful day, this hepls to de-stress.

haaay..math drained my brain! gosh i really don't get that subject (after all these years!). all the y-intercept..problem solving equations make my brain explode!!! btw, our class talked about our upcoming feast day..and the theme is..ta-daaah! 70s retro! hehe..gotta raid my mom's closet!:-P

then it's CAT time again! this time, i was the 3rd sqad leader..all the shouting ("3rd squad parade rest!!!") made my throat more sore..we were asked to bring fruitberry because we will do community service next week! oh..magtanim ay di biro.. :-D

aspiring officers (like me!) got their belts after the CAT training for the whole batallion. then our commandant taught us a lecture..so we went home late. it was totally dark. :-O good thing erika & edward's still there..also aspiring officers (haha!). so i wasn't alone when i went home. jinx!:-P

tomorrow we'll gonna shoot our music video for our filipino project..so many projects, deadlines coming..! let the cramming begin! :-P

so not like me..

2008-07-22T22:39:00.000-07:00

i don't know why, but i'm not in the mood to tell you the fiesta story yesterday..hehe..jane what's happening to you??!

i guess i grew tired of making kwento..hehe..haizzt! so what's to blog? hmm..nothing.

that's it, i'm getting silly! ttfn! (not in the mood really!!!) :-P

teehee!

2008-07-19T02:33:00.000-07:00

tidbit: thankz to www.lunapic.com!

hep hep hooray!

2008-07-18T03:14:00.000-07:00

i am feeling sore right now (for the first time i am paos!!!), but still, i want to make kwento (hehe!).. :-P

i don't want to spoil the moment by saying "the climax part" earlier right now, so here's a timeline:

7:00 am: flag ceremony began. emerrize (special mention!) finally bought the printed copies of our favorite songs: the mandarin ones! hehe..we love fahrenheit & s.h.e. (as well as hana kimi songs & the pag-ibig na kaya korean version!), so even though i'm having throat problems (sore throat..), we sang & sang until the mass.

8:00 am: mass time! i realized that i can't sing for the choir so i didn't join them (though i want to!). then truth hit me: our choir's kinda bikaka..you know, hindi pala kami pabilog kumanta. after hearing the truth (and nothing but the truth!), i suddenly blurted out to alyanna (special mention!), "so this is what our choir sounds like." well she just smiled..btw, she's my choirmate who had some illness too at that time.

9:00 to 11:00 am: inside our classroom, we tried the "dummies" that we're going to use for the karakol..they're pretty good! grabe..then by 11 am we were dismissed..

11:15 pm: before going back to school, i crammed everything in the house muna..wear jogging pants, find my rubber shoes, make-over, eat lunch, toothbrush..i looked haggard na nga daw eh..but still..before heading to school i powdered up so i look fresh..hmm! :-P

12: 20 pm afterwards: we (emenemz!) were made-up by each other..put green eyeliner, fix hair, put our costume..then after some snappies & a little prayer, we were off to the ground! go marymag! :-P

..while waiting for our turn, i suddenly felt sickly! i mean, they said my eyes were totally red, then i experienced head & eye aches..my sore throat..then i also have cough & colds! gosh..all at the same time! how's that for a student who's about to dance on the streets?! so i was lame before the actual competition..i slept in sidewalks. but when it started, i suddenly went hyper! i mean, i yelled with my classmates, & my energy seemed to increase. i was like that until awarding..

..oh btw! while dancing near the last judge, 3 girls from tirona talked to me..one asked first, "ate anong year niyo?" of coursed i answered (i don't want to be suplada!), "fourth year." then the other girl suddenly added, "ate ang ganda mo!" hey wait..baka iniisip niyo gawa-gawa ko lang 'to ah..it just so happens that i got a lot of compliments this year.. :-) so back to the story! while dancing, i thanked her..then the other girl said, "ate ang tangos ng ilong mo!" while doing the basic steps, i replied to her, "talaga? thanks!" then they cheered for me like, "ate galingan mo ah! mananalo kayo!" and they bid me bye bye as we pass by them. actually, i can't believed all the compliments i've been receiving this past few days. parang inulan ako ngayon! first sir camungol, then sir cadiz, then sir dave, then mazy's mom, then ate in the xerox machine, then those 3 girls! super thank you!!! i can't believe that i can be appreciated so much..with or without eyeglasses! :-)

^that's the dummiez..hehe..we owe a lot to them..and to the operatorz.. :-P^eMeNeMz compressed for a snappie! haha.. :-P^photo-op before the actual contest!^go marymag 08-09! :-P
^me..rachel..joicy :-P

..this is it! when we went back to the school, cathy gave me cheesecake & some water..then they offered us tetra-pack juices & more cupcakes (wow!) then cathy & i listened to the announcements of the winners for the senior division. even before the competition, i was slowly losing hope because honestly, the other section & year levels's costumes were good compared to us. then i thought our steps were ordinary..

..when they called IV- immaculate concepcion as the 2nd place for costume, i knew we were not going to make it. i was right. they named III-st. peter as the winner for the costume category. wanna see their suit? later! then we listened for the dancing category. IV-st. martha won the 2nd place (no doubt of it..their steps were good & marc really did a great job! hehe..congratz!) then when they announced the winner, "and the 1st place is, IV-st. mary magdalene!", i went super giddy!!! i shouted with my classmates & we were like, super hiyaw to the max!!! i forgot about my throat problem na nga eh..i still can't believe that we won first place! i thought we were going to make a history..that for the first time marymag doesn't win anything! but thank goodness that didn't happen..! we still made former emenemz proud.. ;-P

"always the winner, never the loser!" that's what i always write on my diary then..we i make kwento about the karakol for last 3 years..and since i don't have a diary anymore, dito na lang! haha..but this is the first & LAST time that i only won one category.. :-)

fyi: thanks to amica olaes (special mention!) for the karakol snappies! :-D

unusual

2008-07-17T04:27:00.000-07:00

we did exhausting stuffs today, but i think i'm still hyper..not to the max, but still crazy!

today we just practiced & practiced for the karakol..that's going to be tomorrow fyi..! but we didn't practiced that much (ang gulo nuh??!). our adviser always gives us loooong breaks! once kanina, cathy & i went to the library, kasi akala namin hindi pa magpa-practice. we we're playing chess there when i suddenly felt the urge to peep outside the window..and in my horror, i saw my classmates practicing! gosh..i waited for them to finish the first part & hurriedly ran afterwards. whew! good thing sir camungol didn't reprimand me. :-O

then in the afternoon, we had our dry-run (general practice of all levels). next is CAT..oh i forgot to bring black socks! dyahe..i have to call my daddy pa so he can bring me my socks! good thing he's understanding..hehe. :-P as usual, CAT was so, so, so nakakangalay! grabe..lalo na yung tungtong kanan!!! and then i kept laughing silently & pigil na pigil..kasi si tracy nagpapatawa! good thing i wasn't scolded..or else i have to do that squat! whew! :-)

p.s.: someone noticed my beauty again! (beauty ah..as if!) i was photocopying some CAT papers when ate (i don't know her name!) told me this: "alam mo nagagandahan ako sa'yo..ang cute kasi ng mukha mo." flattered much!!! :-P of course i said thanks, then she added, "bakit hindi ka magpa-rebond?" a lot of people who compliment me always adds something like that. well, i love my wavy-slash-curly locks now, but i'm still thinking that they're right. but my hair's manipis..my mom's afraid that it might fall after a treatment. well, i worry too..so my decision is: not now! :-P

p.s.: karakol's tomorrow na! good luck to all magdaleneans..especially all eMeNeMs! go marymag!!! :-P

confused

2008-07-15T04:29:00.000-07:00

have you ever experienced being so confused to the point that you suddenly act crazy in front of everybody? haaay..life life life. why is this happening to me?!

i don't think you could understand me..because i have a problem. but the other problem is, i can't let it all out here! oh..the perks of having a diary! gosh..kainis kasi naubos na yung diary ko..wala na akong masulatan. but that's it, i feel confused & so not me today.

gosh, why do i hae to experience all this crazy stuff??! it's the first time i encountered this instance..and now i'm crazy!!! oow..please help me! :'(

manic monday!

2008-07-14T03:56:00.000-07:00

stressful. that's the perfect word to describe this day & my mood.

why stressful?! eh halos hindi nga kami nag-klase! you might think i'm silly, but for me, everyday is a stressful day! haha..articles to finish, steps to perfect, UPCAT to ace, NSAT to pass, & projects to be submitted next month! oww..i've been punched on the face. ever since junior year, i've been experiencing super pressure over life! (that's why these zits came out poppin' on my then-flawless face! arrgghhh!!!)

..hmm..that's all?! well i'm running out of time, so that's it. :-P

tidbit: recently installed audacity! and currently playing on xin wo..hehe!:-P

friday bliss

2008-07-12T01:32:00.000-07:00

kinda confusing..the title says "friday" while today is saturday. hmm..i'm sorry guys! that's because i wasn't able to blog yesterday..(i was busy tweaking my layout again..and then again, i'm gonna change it today *sigh!*)

so what excatly happened yesterday?! hmm..let's start with my first subject: economics! hehe..actually there's nothing to talk about this matter..we just practiced kasi & i paid for the karakol expenses..next: math! as i went in front of the class to lead the prayer, sir cadiz told me he forgot his contact lenses (he wants to give them to me! gosh..i thought he was not serious!). then we just had a quiz..at physics & health, we just practiced. you know, our teachers's been very kind to us since the karakol's only 4 days. we better perfect the steps or marymag's reputation will be stained! haha.. :-P

after lunch, we did nothing on english class (well, precious & i just chatted with mrs. torres..you know, newspaper matters). then the only teacher (at least in the afternoon class!) that conducted a lesson is mrs. ancheta for statistics. actually i was physically present but slightly mentally absent at that time, so imagine my shock & surprise when she called me to answer on the board! hah..she knows me pala! good thing the equation was only basic so i was able to answer it. whoo! that was close.. :-O also at that time sir cadiz handed me a mini box with 5 contact lenses..whoo..he was REALLY serious! that's very thoughtful of him..thanks sir! :-)

then it was time for..(drum roll please!) tan-ta-raaan!!! the C.A.T. training! haha..it was my first time to attend that because marc & i was in U.P. nga last friday. it was kinda hard..you know, nakakangalay siya. but our commandant's nice, so we were quite at ease. after 2 hours of practicing the commands & just standing there at the quadrangle (with a lot of students watching & mimicking our "sir yes sir!" response), others were finally able to go home while those who want to be officers (like me!) stayed there. the commandant just explained the pointers & what the activities will be when we became CAT officer (3 day camping doesn't hurt!) 3 of my closest friends are also joining..i hope we pass!

that ends my stressful but fun friday..also last night i downloaded limewire software & audacity (for my project!). and right now i'm downloading songs..yay! at last, i don't have to go to the computer shop to have my mp3 loaded! yeeeesss!!! :-P ciao!

thoughts

2008-07-10T03:46:00.000-07:00

oh well..i'm gonna update again! (ayyiee!) XD

nothing much..just wanna blog. hmm..oh wait! i hae something to share with you pala. c'mon, read on..

just this morning as i was about to enter our school's gate, as usual, manong guard checked my bag (as in kinapa). then it felt like it was taking too long, so i smiled & asked, "kuya ok na po ba?" he smiled back..actually it was a grin--meaning he wants me to open my bag so he can look inside it! gosh..so i offered to open my white shoulder tote. inside he saw the normal things students bring: notebooks, pencil case, other kikay stuff, and my little pouch with my glasses's case (i was wearing contacts kasi kanina..the pouch contains my contact lens case & eye drops). he still seemed suspicious, his fierce eyes were fixed on my glasses's case, so i gushed, "case lang yan, kuya. naka-contacts kasi ako ngayon eh." he didn't belie me, though. he insisted that i should open the case, so i let it loose. ta-daaah! when he saw ONLY the glasses inside it, he laughed a bit..as if to say, "ah..yun lang pala yun." when i turned around, i thought, "akala mo may gadget no?! hehe.." (any gadgets are strictly prohibited in our school) that was the funniest & slightly embarrassing incident that happened to me today..(so far!) XD

more projects were announced today..there's the music project (composer's autobiography). then the math project..we have to answer 50 linear equation quessiez from one site..i'm actually checking it out now. :-) then the filipino project!!! gosh..we have to make a video documentary! as a leader, after i heard the announcement, i already felt the pressure. but no worries, i believe that we can do it. aja! :-D

another thing..just this lunch break, catherine (special mention!) & i bought a 3-set friendship ring. the color was great..pink & black (just what i want!) well obviously, i was for the three of us (erika, me & cath..buddies since sophie year and are still rocking the whole school! we crazy fools.. :-P) the idea of getting another ring to remind us of our tight friendship (amidst the past month-long quarrels!) is nice, but i'm thinking, "oh, another ring. baka ma-jinx nanaman yung friendship namin." now why on earth did i say that?! because for the past 3 years, we got rings for each other's fingers. then after days or months, nawawala na. then minsan nagkakaaway. so yun, najijinx..i wish that will not happen again. i just hope that we're gonna stay as tight & as close as we are right now. no matter what happens, until alumni homecoming (see us on 2034!), we're still the best of friends. they're still my great buds during our laughing, crazy, silly, childish, emo, and kilig days. wanna see the ring? it's just plain simple..^i certainly wish you can see the ring clearly.. :-D

napahaba po ang aking kwento. karakol's coming (only 4 days to cram the steps and the costume! ouch..) actually, no teachers are believing us when we're saying that we still don't have a costume! maybe because of our section..you know..IV-st. mary magdalene never loses. and i think that will happen NOW. hehe..sana hindi! XD

enough na nga! ang haba na..grabe. byezz! :-P

a time to de-stress

2008-07-09T03:29:00.000-07:00

haaay at last! i'm back to blogging..i miss it since i've been so very busy because of one culprit: SCHOOLWORK. oh well, my weekdays are packed of activities! i need time to throw away all my confusions, so here i am. ka-ching! hehe..=P

shoud i make kwento about everything? hmm..sige na nga!

monday..uhm..i really can't remember what we did! haha..sorry for that. but i DO recall that sir rosas (special mention!) got angry on our section so he made our quiz hard..so hard! gosh..i think (and still thinking!) that i failed with that one..ooh! :-O

tuesday..we performed a short skit for economics. well i hate getting very, very sweaty & harrassed early in the morning, but what can i do?! there's so much things to finish. the skit went well, but our group didn't reach the expectations of our adviser. yan tuloy, plus 1 lang sa quiz.. :-P then by the afternoon i made a poem for our filipino reporting. i was inspired a bit & many things came bursting out of my mind, so it didn't take much time to make. wanna see? hehe..(if it's ugly then tell me! i won't get mad!)

"kasagutan"

sa mundong ating ginagalawan
totoo ngang may gahaman
mga naaakit sa pera
mahihirap lalong binababa

panambitan nilang mahihirap
sana'y umabot sa alapaap
nagsusumamong dinggin mo, O Diyos
sana'y unawain ng lubos

kaibigan, 'wag kang mag-alala
hindi ka kailanman mag-iisa
mananagot silang nang-aapi
katarungan iyo nang mababawi

naririnig ka ng Panginoon
pag-asa'y darating na ngayon
ika'y gagabayan at tutulungan
upang kahirapan ay malampasan

hmm..what do you think?! jinx.. :-P

wednesday (today!)..the reporting happened. and it turned out well..my group member tracy (special mention!) sang our poem. but in the middle of the song, she forgot the tone! so i just saved the show and made it look like it was part of the act (but i think it didn't work..). we got a high grade, though. good job! :-P

..i think that's all. is that all?! hmm..at least some of the stress are now gone. sigh. so much for the blogging today! zai jian! :-)

hurrah! (me & bbb's journey)

2008-07-04T06:42:00.000-07:00

the only thing we need is: UPCAT exam.

finally! at last! sa wakas! yes! napasa na rin namin..haha! hurrah! :-D the story?! read on..

i was scheduled to go to U.P. Diliman for the 2nd time to pass my college application forms. i wasn't able to do it the last time because we don't have the BIR certificate of exemption. i woke up at 5 in the morning cuz we'll gonna go at 6, but then my dad told me that 7 is the departure time, so i slept until 6. bbb marc will also pass his applications, so i decided to invite him to join us. whee! we waited for him until past 7. but a little misfortune happened: we ran out of gas! so my dad went to noveleta to buy some. then by 8 we were off to the road!

first we went to alabang country club because dad wanted to borrow tita cynthia's car (she's the general manager there). so we ate first..we both ordered omelette (mine's with corned beef & his with ham & cheese). while eating we waited for my aunt..until 10:30. oh by the way, while chatting, we noticed english-spokening people behind marc (magkaharap kami). they were like, super english! nosebleed.. :-O and the funny part is, when marc conversed to me in english, they stopped chatting & looked at us! hehe..as if naman ngayon lang sila nakakita ng nag-eenglish..^me at the alabang country club..wahehe.. :-P

by 11:30 we got to UP at last! but what's that? we're lost?! yup..we got lost first. it's like, paikot-ikot kami! maybe that's because we entered at the back..we really can't find the office of admission! by i think 12:45, we reached the admission office & lined up. but it's nearly 12, so the personnel advised us that we should be back at 1 pm. what the heck! that means we were going to miss our afternoon classes (sob!). we were also told to pay the penalty at the quezon hall & marc has to pay his exam fee at landbank. so we went straight to quezon hall, but it's closed! dush..we headed to landbank & thankfully he was able to pay his fee. after that we ate snack (siopao for the 2 of us..iced tea for me & coffee for him). when we sat on the nearby bench, a member of a cycling club asked me, "miss dito ka ba nag-aaral?" he seemed harmless. but.. :-I anyway, i replied, "hindi." then marc added, "sana!" jokingly marc kept on saying to me, "you're in danger!" hmm..because someone asked me? ganun. dad left us alone because he was too tired & he want to rest below some trees. so we remained still (people watching) until 1 pm.

by 1: 15 we went to quezon hall to pay for our penalties. it was near the oblation statue so we were able to see it (only the back!). after paying, i asked him, "admission or oblation?" he chose the latter..but when we got to the exit, it's raining! oh crap, how are we going to take pictures & walk back to the store? we don't have an umbrella to add to the pitfall.. :-( well, we weren't able to do picture picture with mr. oblation. sad. :-(^at the quezon hall..peace!

fortunately the rain had decreased so we were able to go the admission office again. it was 2 pm. we lined up again (the line wasn't that long!) surprisingly, a personnel told us that the test center in imus was already red-flagged (i don't know what that means), so we decided to take the UPCAT in UPD. hmm..kuya (as i called him!) even joked that after the exam, we could go to trinoma for some refreshing-up..but the exam's going to be 5 hours, and it starts at 12:30 pm. so i think we are not gonna be able to do that. erase erase! :-P

when we got our test permits, i was quite disappointed. marc & i are going to take the exam in different (& very far from each other) bulidings! gosh..bakit hindi pa kami pinagsama?! ang laki laki ng UP eh. :-I we went home tired & wondering if we will still go to school (it was 2:30 pm). we decided to go anyway..just so we can meet up with our friends & catch up with the latest happenings (we weren't able to attend the first CAT meeting. that's the ouch part. oww!).^marc & me..going home already!

we got there at about 4:30 pm, and mazy welcomed me first. then erika saw me & came running towards us! she also gave me a big hug, which was kinda rare to experience from my beszie. heehee.. :-D i also found the whole tHymAnGeRzZ there. i wonder why they're still there? anyway by 5 we decided to go home & catherine told me that she fainted yesterday! whaaat?! i went home early yesterday so i didn't know. then in the bus, erika's mood suddenly turned gloomy. yun pala, she's not feeling well. so there, our journey as part-time UP students. hehe! :-P

tidbit: rejoice helped me to tweak my blog layout (yipee!), thanks again joicy! you rock.. ;-) wanna see her blog? ayoko nga..joke! http://chalksandcrayons.blogspot.com/ <--go there. :-P

go ahead, make my day!

2008-07-02T05:17:00.000-07:00

the title speaks for itself..but still unclear, right? let me "elaborate" it for yah..

my dancing exposure last meeting de avance made an impact for me..and my teachers. i can't believe and i didn't expect to get compliments from my three male teachers--sunud-sunod pa! wahehe..nice. :-P first is my adviser, sir camungol (special mention again!). here's the story: my friends & i were hanging out in the canteen after the dance, and we spotted sir camungol walking by. so we were like, "hi sir!" and erika suddenly blurted, "sir si shara oh, saga naka-pink!"* (i'll explain that later..). then he replied, "ang ganda mo pala 'pag walang salamin." so naturally i said thank you. hmm..the asterisk-ed one is kinda confusing, eh? what she meant was i was wearing a pink blouse. you know, saga's color is pink, but i have to support the spuds group because some of them are my classmates. well anyway..

next! after reciting in filipino class, sir dave (special mention!) made a side comment. here it goes, "shara may nagsabi na ba sa'yo na maganda ka 'pag walang salamin?" hehe..ganun ulit. i said thank you again..he even compared me to superman (whaaat?!), just like him, he looks like a nerd when he has his glasses, but when he takes it off, he shines. i'm flattered--so much. :-P

then just this morning while writing the answer on the board for our math subject, sir cadiz (special mention!) commented, "shara alam mo mas maganda ka kapag walang salamin. mag-contacts ka na lang kaya?" then i said thank you. my classmates were reacting, so he added, "bakit hindi ba kayo nagagandahan sa kanya?" hehe..sooo nice naman. even teachers recognize my..you know..beauty??! hehe.. :-P

so of course i'm super-duper flattered, glad, and i felt appreciated. i didn't expect that even teachers see that. but i kept thinking to myself, "ngayon lang ba ako gumanda?" hehe..kidding. but yep, i kept thinking that way. now i know..i'm pretty pala. but i need to remove my glasses, because if you noticed it, there's the overused phrase "maganda ka 'pag walang salamin" 'nuff said! so that's all, enough of my blogging for today, my sister's kinda mad na eh. :-P

tidbit: judge my pictures at friendster na lang. see if i'm really that pretty. wink! ;-)

stupid workload!

2008-07-01T01:59:00.000-07:00

actually my original plan was to blog last sunday..but due to technical difficulties (the internet connection went out!), i wasn't able to blog--until now.

elections happened yesterday (monday), and as usual, i voted my "chosen ones" (secret!). and all the winners for chairman, vice-y, and level rep came from our section (hep hep hooray!). then before going home, i went to SM first with cath & darlene (special mention!) for some 1x1 photo-ops. wanna see the pic? it's kinda blurred..but anyway, here it is..^i told you it's blurred..wala kasing scanner. :-P

then today i received a very nice compliment from sir dave (special mention!). after i recited in filipino, he made a side comment, "shara, may nagsabi na ba sa'yo na maganda ka 'pag walang salamin?"..nakz..thanks po. last friday my adviser sir camungol (special mention!) told me the same thing. well..ganun?! hekhek..very nice. :-D but after a moment of happiness, several workloads hit me on the face. you see, i have to do homeworks for economics, bookkeeping, and filipino! gosh..i also have to write an article about karakol festival (it's so hard to research!) for our school newspaper (i'm one of the features editor, remember?). goooooooosssshhhhh!!! :-O i'm sure i'm going to have more pimples..kawawa naman. :-(

anyway pray for us (me & marc) that we don't get jinx-ed..we hope we could go to U.P. on friday! please don't jinx us..hehe. :-P

nothing

2008-06-28T00:19:00.000-07:00

this past few weeks i've been super inactive (internet-wise) because of school..so i wasn't able to blog regularly (hindi pa ba regular yan?! ang dami ko na ngang entries this june..weeh!:-P) i do hope that by july, i can make more entries.. :-D

nothing much to write..today is just an ordinary saturday..oh by the way, karakol's coming..gotta practice! and marc & i are going to pass our UP application forms on tuesday (cross-fingers!). i'm gonna miss classes again..oh the crap! :-O

should i cut it here? ahm..yeah. i'm gonna update when i feel like it! zai jan! :-P

pinkie!

2008-06-27T07:29:00.000-07:00

haay..kapagod! but still i made an effort to blog..sleepy!-_-

our school's meeting de avance was held earlier this afternoon..and like what i said in my previous post, i was going to perform for a particular party list..in the morning i wasn't able to practice much with them because of my lessons..but lunchtime onwards, i was able to (at least!) perfect my steps. by the way, we practiced at khuletz's room..with many of them watching! hehe..gosh. :-O

we (marc..ekay..cess) have to wear anything pink because we will be performing for the "saga" party list (weeeh!). before our turn, marc put eyeliner on our eyes (looked like a rocker-whatever! hekhek..) & cheered for the other party list, "spuds" (we have to support each group! walang kinikilingan! haha.. :-P) and when the time came that we have to perform, i felt no jitters. i mean, i'm not that nervous anymore..no shaking or anything. wow..i think i'm improving! haha..i think those 4 years of engaging in social activities helped me with my self confidence..hmm..

prior to the dance, well it went good. actually when it ended, i felt like bitin..really! i kept saying, "gusto ko pa! balik tayo sa stage..!" too muh for the dancing, eh?! anyway after that, the "globe" party list took the mic & stage. we cheered for them also..but what we really waited for is marc's song number..(he performed in all party lists! talk about multitasking..!) while waiting, we tHymAnGeRzZ hanged out at the canteen..ate ice cream..talked..the usual thing barkadas do. then as i chanced upon the stage view, i saw marc..already on the stage! heck..i rushed & called all of them..ang ingay ko nga eh, talagang todo sigaw na "oi! andyan na si marc!" wa-cares.. :-P

while making our way in front of the stage, we made hiyaw (oww!) & stood on the bench. i think when he saw us, cheering & yelling like crazy peeps, he became even more delighted. i mean, ginanahan yata. (marc if you're reading this, correct me if i'm wrong!) well, that's what friends do..support each other..haaay..gosh. :-P

well that ends my day for TODAY..what can happen next? hmm..

new-found glory

2008-06-26T06:22:00.000-07:00

at last, i felt the energy going!

our student council election's coming..and when there are party lists, there are also entertainers for each group. my best buds (marc & erika..cuzzins!) told me that they were preparing for a dance number for a particular party list..and they want to include me! haha..me?! well, who's gonna think of including innocent me in a dance troop? heck, they do. :-P but seriously, me? i don't even dance! the last time i danced in public was last march 5..my friends joined the dancing contest, so nahila ako.

if you know my history, i don't dance at all. i have a robot body & ang tigas talaga ng baywang ko. usually when i try to dance, some people tease me & say, "ang tigas naman n'yan!" but now i try not to make pansin of the usual teasing & laughing. i join dancing contest now..but still get shy when i notice that some of my co-dancers are the GOOD ones. ouch. reality hit me!

back to the recent invitation, i agreed to dance with them..since i would like to hone my social skills & erase my little bit of shyness. this time, we will be dancing something quite different. i mean, we will be dancing to the tunes of "ring ring ring" by s.h.e.! hehe..talk about taiwanese-pop introduction in school! so for that we practiced since monday..and the first day coinsisted of me trying to get the steps right & them (the choreographers..marc & ekay!) trying to correct my mistakes. at the end of the day they were tired and..i think na-konsume sa akin! haha.. :-P

today we practiced..this time with our new member, ka-tHymAnGeRzZ princess (special mention!). i thought that was the end of my hopes..hopes of me being a good dancer. we all know for a fact (at least WE in the school & her family know) that princess is a great dancer. and i was put up beside them? gosh. i said earlier, "oh ano ako na mascot niyo?" of course i got nervous when i learned that she will be included because..i'd be embarrassed in front of magdaleneans..my self esteem could get low..and i could no longer have self confidence. but as we practiced earier, i sensed something different. something good.

at last, i'm already dancing! haha..i felt like i got the steps right & i was able to groove to the beat! haha..even though i'm not as good as them, still i managed to dance with them. actually, i LOOOOVEEEEDDD the feeling! for the final practices, i think i did well & i didn't want to stop! ganun pala 'pag nag-eenjoy ka. masaya pala. nakakatuwa. hekhek.. :-D

haay..now i know that even though matigas ang baywang ko, i can still groove to the beat..especially when i'm with my friends who are willing to help me & encourage me to believe that i CAN have the talent. thanks for the faith..hehe..sana mabasa niyo 'to no?! zai jian! :-)

shocking events

2008-06-23T06:16:00.000-07:00

unexpected things really happen..in weird times & place. (seryoso pare!)

while mourning for my aunt's death (see previous entry), my other aunt (tita inday) suddenly asked my dad if i have any passion for acting or modelling. whaaat?! don't know what crossed my aunt's mind to ask him that. then my dad faced me & asked me.. of course i was hesitant! me? a model??! gosh. i answered inconsistently, not knowing what to answer.

ok i'll admit it: 50% wants me to say yes, and the other 50% wants me to say no. why?! yes because it screams M-O-O-L-A-H!..stardom..seeing my face on magazine pages is cute..yeah. and no because i hate having NO privacy at all..pressure..hectic schedules..and shyness (waaah!).

^the pic i first gave to her..i'm not that prepared! haha.. :-P

well let me tell you why my tita asked me that quessie: he's the godmother of patrick garcia (whoa..), friend of lolit solis (ahh..), and has managed artists na din (i'm just not quite sure). she really wants me to model, so she asked for my solo pics. i gave some, of course..opportunities like this knocks only once!:-P

i just hope i succeed in this. and i JUST hope that this will not hinder me from studying..aja jane!:-P

meetings (again)

2008-06-23T05:49:00.000-07:00

after a month, we all meet again.

last june 16, my aunt nini (eldest sis of my dad) died because of cancer and maybe..katandaan na rin. so on june 20 (erika's bday!), we went to manila memorial park-sucat to mourn. and things like this call for a grand family reunion. so there i was, trying to mingle with my cousins.

prior to my aunt, she was kind to me. i mean, she accepted me despite of my unusual status (secret!). so it was expected for me to cry a bit when it's the last mass already. seriously, the choir's mellow voice helped my tears to fall. plus pa yung fact na nakikita ko yung mga tita ko na umiiyak, so nadala rin ako. haay..life..someone really has to go. and in our case it was my aunt who has to go. :-(

after the mass, we walked from the funeraria to the spot---while raining. gosh, you can picture it already: my sis & i sharing the same big umbrella, wet pants & shoes, wet arms, and leg aches. but we were still able to make it, though.

i still wish that aunt nini is happy na there..because her life would be more miserable if she stayed alive here..but with tubes that sustains her life. that's hard---knowing that those tubes can't sustain your life forever & they will add more burden to your life. so it's really best to go on & continue her life---in a place where there are no problems, no suffering, & no sadness. just angels, yummy foods (whaat?!), and a quiet ambiance (bakit ko ba nasasabi 'to nakapunta na ba ako dun?! gosh.)

preparation

2008-06-19T03:07:00.000-07:00

aside from the fact that i'm already loaded with schoolwork, i'm also rushing on filling up college application forms.

yep..i'm a crammer! well don't blame me! when rejoice (special mention!) told me that the deadline of submission of requirements is on june 25, i panicked a bit. i didn't know anything about filling up application forms! anyway, this morning i went to the registrar's office to get my bs form 137 (transcript of records)...of course, as suggested by my classmates who already passed their requirements. i also photocopied UP form 1..tomorrow i'll be photocopying UP form 2. :) ^the UP site..browsing for more requirements

now i'm browsing for PLM requirements, since those 2 are the only schools i want to go to. grabe, super nagmamadali na! hehe..i'm a bit confused.

^the PLM site..also browsing.. :-P

haay..sana makapasa na ako ng forms! haha..i'm so excited! :-P

the art of unending pile of schoolwork

2008-06-18T05:25:00.000-07:00

my eyes are all puffy..due to lack of sleep. well you know the culprit already! don't dare to ask me.. :-I

as the opening of classes began, so did the schoolworks. researches..leader work..assignments..early role playing..college application..name it, i think i have it (or if not, then sorry!). since june 16 i've been like this: go home from school then sit in front of the computer with a notebook & pen in hand..then research. after that i'll head straight to the study room to do my homeworks. i usually sleep at 11 pm..which is the cause of my mom's "oi-matulog-na-kayo! anong-oras-na-ba? aba-ayoko-ng-ganyan!" habits.

i know all of these are part of high school life..actually these were the main reasons why i had pimples (gosh..i have nothing when i was in sophie year!). but i know every student can't shoulder too much work. i know somehow my body & mind would give up, but i hope that before it does, i already finished all my loaded works. ^ my researching shots..that's how crucial it can be! ouch! :-O

let's face reality guys! it's hard to research in front of the computer..reading every detail that would meet my fierce eyes. computer screens are high in radiation (i think?), so i'm kawawa talaga. now i know why i'm having sore eyes. poor eyes..malabo na nga, overtime pa! please don't make me blind..!:-O

i guess that's all. i have nothing to say anyway..(you get the logic from the title..and then you'll find out what this nonsense blog entry is all about.) lol. (really am i laughing out loud?! seriously, no.) :-I

the other celebration (and crying moments)

2008-06-12T21:24:00.000-07:00

you think june 12's just for independence day?! think again.

everytime june 12 comes, there's a double celebration for us (family): independence day & my mom's birthday. so yesterday we went to jollibee to celebrate it. erika's included, because she's with me & i didn't know that we're going to jollibee so, i invited her. anyway, i had my big camera so we just ate there & took pics...& played with the kids at the slide. :-D after that, erika decided that she's not going home yet so she went back with us.

well, we just bonded in the kubo...read magazines, talked, etc. we even planned to spend the sembreak here! hehe...super sleepover. :-P it's past 6, & it' getting darker, so we just went to the study room & talked. she's in our house until 9 pm. after the said time, she bid bye-bye. ^me & erika, webcam moments in our house. :-P

i accompanied her, of course. pero nung nandoon na kami sa sakayan ng tricycle, walang ni-isang nakaparada dun! gosh. so she texted her dad about that, and i said that if all else fails, she can sleep in our house. well, i'm also a girl so i have the clothes. but after waiting for minutes, a tricyce came & claimed that finally, there were buses passing...enough for her to go home. so there she went...i told her to text me when she got home.

the next day (today), i received no text from her. so i got very worried. many things appeared in my mind like criminal cases (oh!), so i called her up when i woke up. then i bursted into tears when i heard her voice. it's like, mixed emotions! well i think i cried because i'm worried, thankful that she got home, & naiinis ng konti kasi hindi siya nakapag-text. but she said that the moment she got home, she fell asleep. so there's the reason. now we're going to talk to tell her how i felt.

so long, folks. it ends here. :-P

the grand adventure

2008-06-12T20:36:00.000-07:00

we already know that it was the 110th year of our independence yesterday. but what you guys didn't know was i had my greatest adventure on the same day.

as a 4th year student, we were asked to join the independence day parade yesterday at 5:30 am (sooo early!). we have to be in white tee, maong jeans, and rubber shoes. when i got home, i looked at my clothes to search for a white tee. and i got the surprise of my night when i found none! i panicked, so i raided my sisters's closets for t-shirts. but i found nothing that fits me. then i remembered that i have one white tee in my bag...but its sleeves are gray. thankfully my adviser allowed it (phew!). because of that, i only got to eat at 9:40 pm. so i still have to wait for the food in my stomach to come down, so i only got to sleep at 11 pm (lack of sleep! bad.). fortunately, i got up at 4:00 am.

i left at around 5:10 am, and when i got to the waiting shed, i saw my schoolmate & friend rodilyn...(special mention!) i thought we were both waiting for a baby bus, but i was wrong. she said, "naghihintay ka ba ng bus dyan?! asa kang may dadaan." then i replied, "bakit naman?" she answered, "hello?! sarado po kaya ang daan sa kawit kaya walang dadaan na bus! halika na maglakad na lang tayo." (i know this was not the exact words, but they're somehow close to the idea ok?!) so we walked from sta. isabel to panamitan (the assembly place was at josephine's resort).

the parade didn't actually start at 5:30...maybe minutes after that. after waiting, we finally got to line up & walk. i was with my beszie erika who has her mp4 at that time...so while walking, we listened to some fahrenheit & s.h.e. songs from her mp4, but the volume was too loud for my baby ears (hehe!), so i listened to my own mp3 instead. walking from panamitan to aguinaldo shrine was too tiring, but honestly, we didn't notice the sweat & leg aches. we got there fast! that's the feeling pala when you're with someone you're close with & you talk while you walk...hindi boring, so mabilis yung parade.=P

^tHymAnGeRzZ at the parade! hehe...the
other's missing! from left: edward, henicel, reycel,
erika, me!, and angelica. :-)

when we got there, we & the rest of the barkada reunited & we were asked to get the foods from the barangay there! so there i am, holding a plastic bag full of bottled waters (with the aid of alvin..hehe!) after that, all magdaleneans scattered & we strolled around the whole park. we saw alex santos of t.v. patrol world! gosh, i can't believe he's that handsome! hehe...startruck much? then we also saw bobby yan reporting for nbn ch. 4 (is that the channel? i can't remember!)

as time passed, one by one, my kabarkadas went home. ang naiwan lang: ako, si edward, & erika. we sat there for some time, but we grew tired & bored eventually, so we decided to walk our way home. pinipilit nga namin si edward na dun kami sa house niya muna eh, kaya lang ayaw niya. and there were no buses passing by, so no choice but to either walk or ride a tricycle (a ride costs P40 up!) so the three of us walked while eating a burger we bought. when we reached tabon, hindi na sumama si edward...hay naku, kung sino pa yung lalaki. anyway, we couldn't do anything so erika & i just continued walking & left him there, waiting for a bus. eh ayaw niya sumama eh! then my gand adventure started.

from marulas, we walked & walked & walked...just the two of us, both girls, looking very sweaty & tired. but we enjoyed it, though. that adventure proved how strong, brave, & challenging girls we are, & kahit na nag-parade na kami kanina, we didn't feel super exhausted. we got to our destination in no time, & i kept saying, "i can't believe we made it by just walking! maybe this is just a dream..." but of course it's not. erika decided to stay in our house for a while because she didn't want to go home yet. so we just played games on our new dvd player.

i will end the independence day celebration here, but there's a continuation. read next!;)

first day low...(and little highs)

2008-06-10T04:15:00.000-07:00

i thought i would be happy when i get to step inside that huge, maroon gate. well, not so.

the night before june 10 (that's yesterday), i can't sleep even though it's already past 10 pm. i kept clearing my mind & even resorted to counting sheeps (not effective for me!), but still, i can't put myself to sleep. excited much?! finally i fell asleep at i think 11 pm...then woke up at 5 in the morning (big SURPRISE!). i took a shower (cold!), ate breakfast, and groomed myself. at 6:20, i was already in the tricycle.

as i was making my way to our school gate, i spotted my two junior year classmates. i asked them which section they belong to, but no one answered me. as in, dedma lang. maybe they don't know, or they don't care about their old classmate. poor jane. :( anyway as i reached the gate, i saw old & new faces all bunched up there. i went to the stage to see the lists of students. i searched for my name: first, IV-st. martha...nope! next...IV-st. immaculate concepcion...nope! next...IV-st. lazarus...nope! oh my...i'm an eMeNeM! hehe...in "esmeri" speak, that means i'm in IV-st. mary magdalene! but after a short "hooray!", i was disappointed. the reasons? read this:

1. hindi ko kaklase si beszie erika
2. wala akong classmate na tHymAng
3. wala akong masyadong ka-close sa kanila
4. lahat sila nagsiksikan sa IV-immaculate concepcion

well, i have nothing against my new section or what, i'm just sad...for the fact that my friends are all there, and that i have no seatmate for the field trip. (i was planning to go sound-tripping with erika eh!) but i hope that, eventually, i'll find new friends there. but as the flag ceremony started, i kept a busangot face. :(

my first day plans crashed with my emotions & expectations (expect kasi ng expect eh!) i planned about trying the new soft ice cream there...but it was so crowded that i decided not to continue. i also planned that i will not have my baon for the first day because i want to experience the canteen feeling again. but heck, the canteen's closed! horror hits me. ouch!>:( and i planned that before we go home, i will taste isaw with suka again. but manong's not present. better not to plan next time. (but this is my last year in high school!)

my adviser's nice...but he doesn't know me, though. well, that's because i've never been his students for the past three years. he even mistakened me for someone else (ako daw si lumampao...) he had speech problems because of his cough, so i didn't understand him well.

by the end of the day (by the way we're only half day! but regular classes the next day...no books!), i still went home with my long-time friends. even though we're walls apart from each other, i'm still lucky that they're still be able to wait for me every food breaks. of course, friendship never ends, no matter what sections you're in right now.

add: welcome CAT & community service! i hope i pass the first one. lol.

food crisis

2008-06-06T00:35:00.000-07:00

yep, we're in the middle of it now.

just this week our whole family suffered from stomach cramps. first my lil sis, then my mom, then me, then my 2 nieces. what a life! we've been like this for 5 days straight, & we can't find the culprit. so we all have to sacrifice.

no delicious meals for now, just plain lugaw, noodles & crackers or bread. also no milo, or milk, or juice. just plain h2o. oh my, i've been craving for mac n' cheese, pizza, and my fave viands (sinigang, and the like) for days, and it seems like i'm not gettting them anyway. poor, sad jane. all she could munch on are non-oily foods. huhu! :'(

today, for lunch, my dad brought us fried chicken from kanto. when i saw that whole plastic, i blurted out, "dad nang-aasar ka ba?!" he said that he's not mocking, we can eat that chicken thing...but no crispy balat! oh my, i got sadder. that's my favorite part! hmmp! stupid stomach!>:(

now we all have to sacrifice. haay sana mawala na 'to please!!! :(

passion for the unknown

2008-06-03T02:44:00.000-07:00

yesterday as i logged out (from friendster, candymag, & here!), my mom told me to buy some calamansi & tomato from the nearby store. but of course i had to use my bike since i'm not in the mood to walk (hehe!). when i got to the store, wala sila nung dalawang yun! kind of disappointed, my mom asked me to buy from another stores. and when i got there, wala namang kamatis! so i told my mom about that, and she said should go to talipapa (which was way far than those stores i went to). it was tiring to go back & forth over & over again! but i noticed something different while making my to the talipapa...

i love the thrill of biking fast & one-handed. i feel excited when doing that while sliding down the road. i like the feeling of freedom it gives me. whoa...did i just say that? i'm not much of a bicyclist, but i still managed to do that. what can i do? i just looooveeee the feeling! whee...it was like i was really free...

i'm planning to be a bicyclist for competitions, but i don't think i have the guts. oh well, i'll just practice. then maybe one day, you'll see me on t.v., gliding down the sideroads, screaming, "finally!"

so much for the dreaming, eh?;)

other side of the bed

2008-06-02T01:48:00.000-07:00

just recently, my sister felt ill & had to lie on the couch for days. since we all sleep in the same room (hehe...my room's being used by my sister), my mom told me that i can't sleep with my sick sis. so i had to transfer to my real room...upstairs.

it was already past 10:30, and my elder sister's still chatting on the net, so i had to wait for her to sleep (oh my, i don't want to sleep there alone! i'm not used to it anymore). then by 11 pm, we finally went upstairs. as i lie there on my "korean bed"-style foam (oh i missed that!), i thought mamamahay ako (or makukwarto!) but then all of a sudden i fell asleep fast. it was magic! in our old room it usually takes me about minutes to get to sleep, or a glass of milk. but there, i fell asleep in no time.

the next day, i told my sister about that. then she exclaimed without hesitation, "eh kasi kwarto mo naman talaga yan eh!" that's when i realized that she was telling the truth. after all, that's my original room, so hindi ako makukwarto! my gosh, why didn't i think of that before telling my sister?

so long, fellas. that's all for today. lol.

i'm lovin' it!

2008-05-30T00:20:00.000-07:00

one fine weekday afternoon (i forgot what day that is!), as i was browsing through some of my friends at friendster, i remembered my best boy bud, marc. his birthday's coming so fast! i decided to drop him an early birthday greeting. and as i opened his account, a song hit my ears: zhi dui ni you gan jue!

i loved its beat (so hip & catchy!) and of course, the artist (fahrenheit & hebe of s.h.e.!!!). i immediately searched it on imeem.com and posted it on my friendster. i'm so into it that i listen to it almost everyday! haha...too much?!

well, i just hope that fahrenheit & s.h.e. would come here in the philippines, so that i can watch them & dance to their tunes (zhi di ni you gan jue is a must!)...walang imposible sa taong nangangarap!

happenings

2008-05-26T01:38:00.000-07:00

i'll share 2 stories with you...read on!

just this morning, my dad, sister & I went to my school to (gasp!) enroll. oh, the moment i've been waiting for! i woke up earlier than i use to (8:00...ack!) & prepared until 9:30. syempre inaantok pa ako kaya ganun katagal. =) when we got there, revamping improvement welcomed me. new paint (blue!), new food stall (i think?), new hallway. pinataas yung hallway kasi binabaha yun noon. oh well, we went to the registration room (jr. & sr. kinder room) & there i saw my teachers again. sir dave confirmed one thing: the opening of classes is on june 10 (so early!)...& that's half-day only. which means we (tHymAnGeRzZ) can go hang-out & celebrate! haha...nice idea. =D anyway, while writing down information, my hands start to shake. i just don't get it---nervousness or what?! after that we went to tejero (dad's business) and we ate at jollibee! haha...what a surprise!

actually, i argued w/ my sister about where we should eat. i said, "we should eat at mcdo! they're lacking customers, so we should go & help them!" (anyway, magkatabi lang ang mcdo at jollibee...) my sister fought back, "no! we should eat at jollibee! i don't want to go back there anymore. i was embarrassed at mcdo, you know?!" well, my sister won. gosh. i'm just trying to help!

another story: last, last night i tripped over a water container & fell flat on my back! ouch...that accident left a minor bruise on my left shoulder & a muscle pain on my right shoulder. up to now, they're still there, making my life miserable! haha...well not much. on that night i was suppose to get some soup from the kitchen, but when i turned around, it happened. ouch. although i got only minor injuries, i don't want that to happen anymore! kasi baka ulo ko naman ang tumama...shucks! =P
