I just joined PLURK // eat all you can at ortigas! :D

*after months of being insisted of joining, I finally joined PLURK and had my Karma up to 8.++ as of now... to compute, it's after 4 hours? I hope it's a good start. :D*

Yesterday, we went to Ortigas through a bus ride from Calamba, Laguna. We were supposed to log just in front of the mall when the bus wouldn't stop from running. Turns out, the MMDA has set rules that the next stop after Mantrade in their bus route would be in front of POEA, under the flyover roads!

Anyway, my family and I tried to have a meal in Megamall, in one of the stores with the promo, Eat-All-You-Can... :) At least, we arrived on time, just minutes before the Rominas arrived. They were there with tita Elvie's sister. Disturbingly, Krizzia and Cindy had the same clothes! The difference? Their style. I was laughing hard when I saw the two of them.. XP

After our meal, I was so full my tummy almost burst. It was very hard to walk. I never knew that I'd reach the other side of the mall in my pace. haha, weird, but true. :) Then after some time deciding that we leave, we headed to the overpass. Since there are only two bus stops south bound of the Sta. Cruz Laguna bus trip, we headed again to POEA where we boarded the bus.

I'm telling you, we did not get tired, but our full stomach turned average at that rate.

new post! :D

yey, after a long time!;) and I missed blog hopping.. :o

anyway, sorry if there's no link for comments in here.. I put the codes,but it did harm to the layout...O_O I'll be changing my skin as soon as I can.

*********

This day started at 11.45. Yes, I woke up so late because I was so tired from the whole day class and internet sessions for my wp blog. I hope you visit it because it was so hard to design modify the theme I have downloaded. It was until 2.30 that I kept myself busy for the activity. Good thing I showered before I did made my habit of addiction take over me.

I think the only distraction was the MYX's Wer U At! :D They went to Enchanted Kingdom (which is just a jeepney ride away, worth p20++, emphasizing that it's not THAT far)...would you believe, I've only been there once?! We have lived here in Calamba Laguna for 11 years, and EK is 13 years old?! It's too much of a sarcasm. Hope I beat that before this year ends.

How? My friends are planning on a weekend spree at that amazing place and it would be the perfect opportunity to spend time with each other (since it's been a while that we've been together after high school.) There's also plans with my mom, my sister and Arnie that we go there during the holidays. My college friends are also wanting to go there any time soon.

There's three options already, obviously. Hope there won't be hindrances for these opportunities.

I'll blog hop soon. I miss my OL friends. Love lots, Kate. :D

my other blog's missing!

I can't seem to find my other blog. It seems to have been deleted! It's such an unfortunate event because by this time, I am actually itching to personalize things and then things happen. :(

Ronald Rosas?

The last post I had had been commented by I think one of my former classmates. Could it really be Ronald Melvin Rosas, who used to be one of the reasons why I enjoyed my third year in high school, was him?

I remember having mistaken someone whom I thought was from my "history" or my class, or somewhere else when it was actually one of the special people on my life long list of friends. ;) It was too much embarrassing because I have thought of people from out of nowhere, even him who would never actually call, especially that it has been long enough for us to talk (again). *We just saw each other recently after almost three years*.

I was acting like funny in a romantic way, when he was actually not on my list which I mentioned. haha, too funny to remember! ;)

What I did then was to tell him to introduce first before talking and all because of that incident. Since then, he was like, "hello, this is *****"...in favor of me. hahaha.

Anyway, whoever you may be, come back please? :)

sembreak trip.

I'm off to Region I...XD see you when I see you! ;)

currently here at school.

We're studying html today, like we did when we were seniors...and yes, there's a desire to stand out by using MS Frontpage for more options and all. Too bad, it was already deleted from my program files since we reformatted our pc... Through chat last night, he was at least making efforts to make it available, for me (and my selfish desires.)

This day is as boring as ever - contrary to what I was expecting last night. I was busy trying to review for our lessons and at least read our handouts for anticipated quizzes as announced by our instructors. I woke up early just to be on time (and I was already panicky knowing that there's only 5 minutes left before 7:30.) As I climb up the plight of stairs to the room at the end of the hallway, I found myself almost alone. I was the third one to land my feet on our class's grounds.

What turned out to happen was:

1. Our first instructor did not attend class. What we did instead was finish errands for our clearances and had our test permits imprinted with the final seal needed. (It was the best time, I must say. Just this afternoon, our corridors were filled with people too many to be accommodated.)
2. We were given a chance to choose: either to make our finals' test I and record it as quiz or we take the quiz without any studying done. We chose the former, but it's like as if we chose the wrong one. There was an imminent response from him, mind you, saying, "Dapat sigurado kayo sa pinili niyo a?"
3. My handout in this third subjectwas already wet for all the times I was handling (and reading) it as we run duties from up and down the stairs.
4. We just had our final class in PE and it was pen-and-paper style - with one simple instruction: list down everything you learned during the sem.

Much for that, I realized, I need to savor every moment... I need to make it last because it would be the last week that this semester would last.

The day we spoke to each other again.

This week's some kind of a H*ll ride. To start off,my Sunday was unexpectedly surprising - we went to church at Los Baños, at GBC where Ji goes to church at. (Of course, his dad leads the whole church and preaches there).

Then it all came back to one sweet smile, with the greeting of Hi. He was holding Joshua then. It all came back as if nothing happened.

He told Esther that he's just being civil. I don't know what to expect. haha.

we're texting each other...(at least until tuesday)

one down, two to go.

Talking about the last straw, I have been seriously having mine early yesterday. I was late for class for the nth time, and so my teacher decided AGAIN not to touch, even just glance, over our research paper which made me, even Arnie, to lack sleeping hours!

I really have been running late in the morning, but what I did choose to do before I leave our village was to get back up to running home because I left something unnecessarily important - my lunch. I was stupid enough to consider heading back home because I failed to see the effort my mom gave in preparing my lunch. So there, I was left out with a bigger consequence. :(

Another problem is with my friends back in UPLB. I have failed to visit them for the nth time, though there were no appointments really, (except for the birthdays I have missed). There's Cathy's, Arian's and now Renz's. I really wanted to go, truly. Unfortunately, my schedule has always been wrapped up. Especially during Tuesdays and Fridays on which their birthdays have fallen upon.

The things I really consider of a problem with these issues are: time, company and money.

First, time because of my schedule and all. During Mondays, I have to be in Batangas from 8-5 pm and of course, there are extra curricular activities waiting to be done. Also, having some kind of an organization would mean tasks to do and things to get started. When do we meet? Every saturday. There's also times when I have to go to Parañaque to stay overnight because of family and church affairs.

Company, pointins directly to my friends over there. Of course, since they are with each other for the rest of their college activities whether academic or not, they have grown close enough to make me feel out of place everytime I visit.

And of course, with our depressing economy, ...nuff said.

Then, there's someone who got mad at me. Lamely because of a certain truth I have emphasized thru text which did not even involve anybody else but a few people in our class. While we reconciled after some time the next day after, a few minutes later, our other close friend remembered about the text and therefore I answered his question. Then again, he laughed about finding out IN FRONT of him, and there he went furious again. It took me 5 days before I got our friendship back with numerous talks involving different people about our situation.

I missed everything we used to share, especially when people were talking about Photoshop and Cadbury Fruit and Nut - which we have been enjoying commonly among ourselves. Then, about a minute before we leave school, there he was smiling at me and then I had my tears bulge up along my outer canthus (?).

Not that I'm crushing on him or anything (as anyone has been thinking), I remain true to our friendship. Besides, I'm enjoying my time spent with .... XD

WORST friend anyone can ever have.

I'm currently overwhelmed by kuya E. haha. Thanks for the Cinnamon Rolls. Those were such relief in times of unwanted classes and classmates who've been physically distressed. (Good thing I don't experience dysmenorrheal kind of pain whatever, plus the fact that I'm regular when period comes).

I've been such an insignificant friend lately. For third year in a row, I have not been able to see my dear Ditse as she celebrated her 19^th birthday. I actually had no choice because this time, it fell between the choice of either answering and finishing my 6 exams last Friday or go to LB to be with our friends to celebrate with her.

Of course, she had such wonderful time, having almost our entire batch mates greet her and all, with only 2 of us (I can't remember who the other one was) who were not able to see her that time. I hate it, like I am the worst friend any one could ever have. -_-

Then, recently, my classmate who was experiencing her irregular period was left behind, having only me as her close friend (without Nica, since last week because of her family problems), and she almost crawled her way to the clinic from the third floor because she was too unconscious of her situation – experiencing pain in her abdominals, vomiting, headache – she was almost out of consciousness.

Where was I? Spending time laughing, playing around and jerking with my long time lost friend whom I have so much of similarities (including sweaty palms and soles) – and I bet you know him from my previous post. I almost ripped of his whole uniform, good thing it was only one of his buttons that fell off of him. XD I missed him because I had no one to talk about long stories about various topics either seriously or otherwise. Not that I've got no one to talk to or anything, but there's just something different in him. (However, as much as most of those who see me with him think that I'm crushing on him, apparently, the answer's NOT! It's just those friendly bonds which I already accomplished with him.)

He was finding his way again towards us, since he tried to go another road just some time ago because, according to someone else, he was too despaired because of my (unconscious) degeneration of him – when I'm not really that kind of a friend. Those were all just playful antics pulled on everyone else as him. And I'm really sorry; I've been so selfishly focusing only on my emotions and have been failing to recognize others'.

Then there's also this friend who's been desperately needing one, and last week in fact called almost all of us, without someone to answer her calls either because of work overload or whatsoever kind of acts. As for my situation that time, I was already busy trying to have a good night sleep because I have foreseen the need for it (and I was right, after that 12-hour sleep, it took me 72 hours before I sleep again soundly). She was almost crying, and all that she found to be conversation with me was, "Nica,next time na lang, text na lang tayo." After that, I did not know what happened next.

.....O_O

Cindy, Zaida and Chelcy (who was having her 13th birthday today) went here just this afternoon to spend some time with each other. Unfortunately, my mom and I have been at Crossing to run some errands. Our trip also included having to spree around the city and do some on-the-list shopping with my mom, with the addition of many other things unconsciously bought. XD

Pizza, which they themselves bought at the local pizza parlor, was served together with milkshakes they bought on their own. My mom and I had loathed Cindy since she did not gave us time to prepare for her visitors. Instead, I found my mom cook lunch for us [at around 3pm!]

Yesterday was Nicher's (arnie's nephew from his cousin) first birthday. I was invited, but I did not come since my classes ended at 7 pm already! I would have loved to come lest he fetched me (haha) because my mom also wanted me to come for the food. hahaha, talk about eating! XD

About school, I was so stupid to inform Jam about ____'s plan to leave. Why? Maybe I was so stricken with grief since I found out that ____ would leave in the near future also! XC Like, it's the nth news I heard about leaving school and transferring to other place and continue studying in that place! It's not that I want them to have a hard time to leave, but of course, who would want to be away from your close friends! Those whom you already considered as part of your life( and things of the same context)...

Of debuts and school works

I am actually supposed to write a blog yesterday. Thanks to our defective cord extension, I have been longing all day to make it happen. I also needed to have for myself a completion of our school project. Nonetheless, I haven't done anything. Anyway, I have browsed deviantart for ideas, and I had some cool collections already. We were supposed to make a debut invitation, which would apply the different formatting and everything else basic IT thought us. Like, duh, we know how to use MS word, okay?!

Thanks to the people there, they have posted different ideas – wonderful and fanciful and worthy to be praised; I just want to use some ideas from what they have posted because I never actually attended any debut party yet.

Yes, you read that right. While everyone else is busy preparing whatever they are to wear or how would they look like on pictures that would soon be published in different social networking sites or whatever, I find myself thinking who's debut is it that could fit me in, and yes, I am desperate.

Not that I don't have any friends or that they don't celebrate birthdays, it's just that they're not really preparing for it. O_O Who would anyway? The country's situation is so much of a lowdown and where would it put our family but far down under.

Talk about my own, I'll be celebrating my debut soon enough (January next year). I have constantly teased my mom and my friends that I'll be having a party by the time I pass the board exam. (Like it would happen fast! O_O) Hey, Bianca celebrated hers at 23! And she's from Ateneo! O_O

Anyway, I would have to study for our quiz, haha. I told my mom I'm only going to have sounds while reading. -_- 2 hours left before I take it!

nvm

I just got home tonight from a very long day. The transport group just imposed a strike to the mass and I was eagerly wanting to have our classes suspended since I am not ready [or am I just never ready?] to undergo the process of skills demonstration of taking the blood pressure. What I was having problems of was that I couldn't hear the Korotkoff sounds which are produced by the blood as it hits the arteries with its wave. It turned out that my stethoscope was closed whatever. nevermind. I have to sleep.

currently listening to migraine.

I feel down. I just got 78 for my Filipino quiz which nobody believed to be THAT bad. I know I have been feeling DOWN since earlier this day but I cannot really discern what has been happening inside of me...and trust me, you wouldn't actually care.

Our preliminary exam is like 1 day away so I really have to study.. Still, I chose to be with my bestfriend, my blog.. and I admit it - I need to study.

But I can't concentrate because I have been having my eyes on a new phone. Walkman phone + 3.2 mp camera is, I think, somewhere near my reach, so I have been thinking of availing it... but I couldn't even tell it to my dad because I know that we really are having our last coins emptying every money-containing-wallets-and-coin-banks [which is actually overstated,but is almost what we really are] and also because I have not been considering communications to him [for almost about 5 days] until last night when I sent him a text message...

who EVER made such decision?!

Just this morning, I was out of the first group which I was supposed to be in! I hate it when it happened - that my group mates and I be separated from each and every one from the group I used to be with, and from the CI whom I have grown close to.. XC

Much to my surprise was someone's overwhelming reaction to my moving out moment. He even motioned to go on bended knees, which is I think for fun only. O.o Then my critics [?!] have been laughing off because they knew I wanted NOT to move out, all eyes were staring with various emotions wanting me to be more quiet.

This morning, after the grievous announcement, I have tried to compensate for the loneliness by being comfortable with my new CI and my new group mates who are also actually part of my clique. I even tricked Ms. Nucup to admit that she still does bar hopping and all! haha. Stupid me! XD [she actually fell for it..XP]

There's a new dean, and in the process of disseminating facts through all the staff of our school, we had an early dismissal, 2 hours before our official end of classes, and we had to eat lunch, so we had 3 hours spent for extracurricular activities.

What we did was we went to Sheryl's place and ate free, sumptuous meal; played around with each other and with the baby, watched Miss Universe [which did not include our country's bet] and prepared for whatever we had to do before heading out to school...

Before moving up into a jitney, we were startled to have like more than one bus parked beside the market. We asked in which 'school' were they from, and we like fainted for one's answer: "CEU".

Back to Sheryl's house, the dilemma of either cutting classes or going back was raised because it has been so much of an idle time we just wanted to rest and sleep. We went back anyway since we were worried [or am I the only one?] of quizzes usually given at the following subjects about to take place...but everybody knows we did ample discussion and were given assignments for future topics to be reported. How rude.

During our last period, we were missing Ms. Susa that we were comparing the replacement to her. Well, I couldn't argue with that since it's really evident that our former CI is much better. To kick things off, Girlyn and I were passing notes on lyrics about being heartbroken. Boredom rules! hahaha.. and it's a good sign that I am NOT HEARTBROKEN anymore because I have found my joy. [and where did I just get that?!]

Before going home, I just had to have some treats! What I did get for myself was box of 3 of Gonuts Donuts which opened just recently. It's really very delightful, and I had to be grateful for having done so. I enjoyed my night. XD [pg alert!]

Then there's Enzo, whom Girlyn's tears were falling out for...

I can never refuse to have such a dream! XD

Introducing the new Sony Ericsson C905!! T_T

8 MP?! I wouldn't dare ask for more! O_O

yeah, and I should dream on!

For full view of its specifications, you should really check out these sites:

gsmarena

sony ericsson

And when you really want to check out its 360 view, click here.

can't sleep!

would you imagine I actually slept late last night like 11 pm already and have risen at 2am?! It's earlier that I am actually awake because I'm having some discomfort knowing that I haven't studied for our return demo regarding vital signs! hahaha...

After my study from 2-4, I tried to sleep like in one hour so that I could regain my energy and something else I need, but that doesn't help much because I was having like butterflies in my stomach and was cold, so I thought I need to relax a bit, and here I was updating my blog! [Talk about addiction.]

You may ask why, but it was because we bought my own stethoscope in Bambang, where everywhere I look is like a store with medical supplies only and you cannot look at other places without seeing any medical equipment! hahaha...

Good thing we have bought what we should at the right place, I might say, since the store dealer was suggesting us not the expensive one but the best one when it comes to quality. :D It was Baxtel. In the first store that we went, the only suggestion was that the more expensive a set was, it is more durable and all...

Anyway, my mom and I also have bought a pair of white shoes since the one I am using is actually almost torn to pieces right away... o.o

various mishaps! o.o

Tuesday is PE day, however I think we would have to reschedule the course because of some reason out there nobody even knows of, I think. We had badminton class, in which I scored only 94% unlike most of the other students who got 100%! My trio even discarded my existence because they are all so excited in playing and all...

It was such a shame because I can actually hit the shuttle cock, yet it doesn't seem to go right whenever things are graded... o.o We even learned this footwork that I have to study since it doesn't come out from me naturally.

Earlier, we were supposed to report on Aristotle's concept of the human person. If I were to base my reports in our book, it's actually something not that sensible enough that's why I have to consult other places like the library and the internet for some sources. Our report by the way is delayed for next time, Friday this week.

In my Basic IT class, another shameful thing was done , but I have to confess that it's something none of us should consider doing. T_T Talk about something else but this! T_T

Filipino was the usual, good thing it was THAT entertaining since our topic was about Francisco Balagtas' "Labindalawang Sugat ng Puso". We even made our own rendition of heart-breaking poems, and I have come to talk about Carmichael. Weird.

Maybe it was because Verlie and I have been talking about high school mishaps like having to disregard UP...and JR reminded me of my past almost lover named Car... haha. It was that hard to consider of getting rid of because he's something who has somehow made my life change in small ways. And then there's first things.

I actually don't want to talk about boys.

T_T

Why the tag katakawan? It's because Girlyn treated us (Phi Viet, Princess, Monica, Emmanuel Paolo, Angelico and Mark) to Beanstalk out of nowhere. Only Nica was absent from the company from LSC. I actually ate so much I think I have eaten enough until tomorrows activities, however I am already so tired due to my whole-day schedule. GREAT thing it's already Wednesday tomorrow...

Can I actually mention Mark treated me to Garlic Bread and fares from our school to my house, in addition to him carrying my luggage...good dog! ;) Turns out well that I have made some friend even during last sem.. :D

I was back! XD

Yes, it had been long since I haven't got back to LB, with my friends. I think the last time was June 9 because we actually planned something in such a short notice, I might say. :)

Anyway, it has been one heck of a day since I actually got up from bed at around 11 am, and therefore did things later than the appointed time... I have even missed out on doing actual things lately. Too lazy to do them, but I am having a hard time coping up to my daily deeds...

And yes, I was back at LB just this afternoon, with my mom, who's the reason why I was able to go. Though my original plan was to spend time with my friends and do stuff like photocopying of our topic [it's way cheaper in LB maybe because there are so many competitors] but I missed out on doing it [like I said earlier] because I didn't know what topics to photocopy...whatever.

In our rented place for the business orientation my mom and I have getting ourselves into, I saw Cathy, Abbie and Claire in one of the tables and they decided to leave promptly after seeing me, HOW RUDE! Unlike Sijey and Jhezer who aren't actually the people I am most expecting to come with me, they are better friends, when it comes to these situations, than those I already had.

Can I just say I am thankful because they have participated openly and not just like others who left without any reason at all. And are they really what you call friends? Not for me.

You see, it was only my first time to actually personally talk with Jhezer, who was not even from my high school. He is from MSI, and whose clique is one of my former fans. I think, and honestly, he was also crushing on me from my high school! hahaha... XD and i'm like Polly. XD It felt like I have been passed down from bro to bro with Lemuel, Carmichael, Alec, Dan and Jhezer within their circle of friends because all of them shared a common factor. O.o

Cesar Ramirez, on the other hand, is just plain friendly + PG. if you know what I mean. ;) And he has shown up his support just for the sake of food. XD okay, so I'm acting rude. But really, it's sentimentally heartwarming that he showed up for my invitation even if we're not CLOSE.. we don't even talk at school! haha..

Still, I had a great time...Though I was not able to finish my Philo powerpoint, I hadn't photocopied my Filipino lectures and didn't see my friends. haha. [whatever.]

I'm so happy, I am already watching GG's episode 14! I have finished 4 episodes last night, would you believe?! Talk about addiction!

let me tell you a secret...

well, it's a secret since nobody knows that I have been there except my buddies (until I arrived home). I have been to Lipa Batangas 1 hour ago [based on this moment in which I have been writing this post] and am actually typing the words out of my head as I am standing since I have just had my dinner, which is actually another fast food, and makes me miss home-cooked meals more..T_T not to mention that they are actually more healthy than what I just had for our Lurienda [lunch + merienda~~from either JJ or JR]

about the lunch, it is actually something quite awful especially that JJ pointed out some of the gross facts actually present on the scene. Food court food, those at bargain [which are the only ones I could afford during that time to avail my body what it was yearning for] and there are actually flies on them! T_T I just hoped that God will let me stay healthy through that 'rough times'..XC

Then there's this wet hand game! haha! where JR would always be the victim! XD

it all started when JJ, who's also having problems with inborn gifts of sweaty hands, wiped his palms on my arms, so it all brought to life the wet-hand-game and whenever we are attacked by the sweating of our arms, it would be that I lather mine to my two friends [our trio does that]>>> Rizza taking a photo of herself with some eyeglasses she didn't actually buy [peace, rizza!] and I, smiling glamorously XD, with Lea taking off her fit shades. we were in SM Lipa, which is like 31 KM away...and I had to go home with nobody from my friends...

jr!

a-ah naman!

binabasa ni -_- itong blog ko ngayon, feeling ko tumatawa yun! hahaha! hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako, kasi parang nakakatakot na pumasok bukas! T_T sana naman, makalimutan na rin niya yung andon sa isa kong post.

haha.

pero, natatawa ako kasi yung mga reactions niya, :))

haha.

e kasi naman, nagumpisa lahat gawa ng feedjit. biruin niyo, may nagsesearch pala sa akin through google? haha. akala ko nga siya e kasi hindi niya alam yung link ko sa blog, pero nakalagay naman galing quezon city yun!

gusto mo makita? ito o..

Class Act

    Who would actually believe that someone never voted as a class officer (with the exception last high school to some subjects like Math and Biology which required separate nominations and elections) would claim herself a position during her sophomore year as class vice president, and much to your (MY) surprise, a student council panelist – with the honor of being the 2^nd year level representative?!

    Believe me, it's actually something whimsical since I never had the experience of beholding official positions for the class, especially the whole school's student council! And yes, I am acting like it's a big matter when for a matter of fact; it is not for some others who were popular – who I never actually was until college.

    In the first place, I was only voted as Vice President next to JR since we were the only ones always raising our hands whenever our instructors would ask, "Who here is a scholar?" Then, it is also only because JJ, another friend who would actually nominate for me when I thought that he was intended to vote for someone. Due to that, he even teased me that I should treat him for having been able to gather up votes for my position. O.o

    And now, I am facing the reality of doing what to do as my responsibility – disseminating the facts of our upcoming Acquaintance Party! Which excitingly fabulous motif is black and white, like what I always see for some debuts featured on Multiply by other teens my age! As early as now, I am actually having daydreams and fantasies of the event actually taking place, including what I am about to wear! XD Pretty sure, many others would actually have done the same upon receiving the news. XD

Reunion :), Laughtrip and actual interactions, XD

What happened this day :)

1. Reunion

It was with Nesty and Jam. the full trio of us, that I have actually been revived by the losing comforts of our friendship and companionship complementing each other. It’s really a great thing that we meet again since it has been like 3 months before we actually see each other again. If only Nesty would have a surname more advanced, alphabetically speaking, then there would be no need for us to be THAT separated. Too bad, it would be an act of striking the moon.

2. Laughtrip

Whenever I recall the things that made me laugh these past few days, I would not simply ignore the song Polly Rose entertained us with. It was the first day of classes in English, and like most usual first day of school events, you would find yourself under the hot seat of introducing yourself and actually telling people you don’t know some basic knowledge about your personal stuff.

Back to my classmate Polly Rose, she actually included singing to be one of her talents which actually led to the inquisitive Mr. Tenorio to actually ask her to sing. Much to our surprise, we heard something not actually appropriate as to what song actually describes my classmates life. Mind you, I am actually listening! haha. “I’m a flirt” was definitely what I heard from how Polly defines her life! hahaha, it really is something I would want to laugh out from! XD

3. Actual interactions with other classmates~

Yes, you read it right. During the past few days of sophomore schooling, I have really found myself actually being isolated from the rest of them. Maybe it would be because I have a really close friend whom I don’t want to leave (unless we go our separate homes anyway). This Monday as a matter of fact, we were very sad because of what our lunch experience gave us. While eating, we were sad not because we only have each other but because other batch mates are not present around. By the time that we actually got out from the place, just through the street, were the many people of BSN 2-3, WITHOUT US!

Rude enough, some are even having their time for themselves and their vices like smoking. o.o

anyway, belated happy birthday to arnie! XD

Foodtrip

During summer, I thought schooling and studying and learning throughout all the days of my [then] upcoming school year, which is now, would actually make me more focused and cost me most of my time and health and make me lose some pounds again just like last year. [andaming sinabi?! Haha]

Anyway, I actually am not studying though I want to.

But I need to.

[but wait. About the title, it's actually because I had eaten about 4 times today, all meals I felt full and bloated. T_T]

So I have to go.

4 days already?!

I think it's almost more than that! How could I be so tired already when it was only four days since I started my classes, with two of the weekends gone by have already been given to me (unlike last semester which only had Sundays and Wednesdays considered to be day offs!)

Could you actually imagine having your 12 hours out of you just so you would stay at school? It's actually what most of scenarios anyone is most likely to encounter, but it's actually so tiring, making me yawn like forever while having classes!

There are actually teachers who would want perfect little students. The ones who would study in advance and have the perfect definition of whatever the topic is at hand, then, looking out for poor scholars who do not actually know everything, just something. However, I also think it would be best that we do some advance studying yet it would help us better that he announce whatever assignments shall we have.

Then there's this professor who's giving the students some pressure on reporting and the sort - in which the highest of the group grades would be exempted from one of the major exams all the students should have or else they would get a failing grade. XC

I feel like...

left alone. There will always be times like this, maybe because you can actually see people around you not wanting you around that you might just want to leave and be somewhere else other than where you are right now.

weary. Who wouldn't? After having almost 12 hours of having classes, I feel like I just want to sleep and dream throughout the night. Good thing I only have four days every week for classes, lest I be like someone who can not attend to other occasions other than schooling.

guilty. I think I have some guilt in me because of having girl friends this semester just for the sake of having someone with me during the trip from school to our home (well, actually, only until we reach the terminal.) During school hours, it is usually JJ and JR (coincidentally having the same pet names) whom I am with.

sick. I can actually feel some discomfort just below my tummy, especially when I pee. It's as if I have some kind of UTI or something.

idle. Yes, I know, this is really actually me. Yet I feel pressured because every instructor recurrently asks who among the class is a scholar, and since I have been pointed at by another scholar, then the two of us is known to be.

my first sophie day. XD

It all started at 4.30, in which time I woke up and had to sleep again for one hour. The alarm for 4.30 was intended for some test time - I mean, if I will be able to wake up at that time, then I'll be able to wake up at 5.30. You see, it usually takes 1 hour before I could prepare and leave home.I think it's better than other who bathe at 1 hour!

Then I walked through the village's busy streets to my friend, who's currently a freshman that we could go to school together. However, she already left because she had to be early. The thing is-she's TOO EARLY.

Through the journey, I have been with schoolmates whom I don't know actually. The thing is, they are Jam's boarding house-mates. Too bad she was too early to be one of them, now we couldn't be more together. Well at least I met her minutes before classes start.

Then there's someone so familiar I want to make him always stay - but he's actually more attached to his second semester friends. Anyway, at least he was always there to accompany me since he I'm the people whom I am very close to (referring to Jam and Nesty who happen to be in other sections distant from mine.) And I actually miss the times that we do lots of stuff incorporated with the most sincere laughters anyone would ever want.

And I miss the times when there were seven of us. And Lerry would be the quiet one who always had with his ears earplugs for some hardcore music which is actually considerable.. And Jazer who will always be the poet and the keen eyed-whatever who would always comment and debate over small things and would never want even his friends to open his mind. (I actually hate him for that.) And Jopo who will always be the charming and sweet guy who always is a friend when needed, an addiction actually to some of the ladies, but will always be loyal to -_- And JR who's always the comic actor and a great friend, enough said. (I won't like it anyway if I have to talk about someone who used to be....) And Nesty who's always the brainy girl and having always the extra mile towards everything conceivable.. and Jam who will always be my good friend and everything else...

You wouldn't believe this, but I was actually voted as Vice President of our class, just because they knew that I'm a scholar. boohoo.

I cannot believe it.

I can still remember the first time I had been to my high school. There were many students running and walking around and about while there were still time before classes start, then there are so many parents accompanying also their beloved first-time-in-hs child, and the teachers and the guards and the upper freshmen - they are all busy with what they were doing and all.

I myself was running and walking past the narrow sides of buildings which I thought would be a site of many memories. It was my first day, and we were having trouble of what section I am to go into and make new friends, and of course, make history.

And now, I find myself having my little sister growing up, literally, since we are almost the same height (which bothers me because she’s only a freshmen in high school and I’m a sophomore in college!) anyway, we were having trouble, again with the sections and all because she was intended to belong in an afternoon class- would you believe that!

I actually had lost my self control talking again and again about the matter. It was her fault that she belonged in the lower section. much like, the degradable section, because in it would be the students most likely dropping out of school because most of them are idle and are not being moderated by the teachers.

Good thing I had been to Kat’s yesterday and had her mom invited for us to arrange certain things for my sister’s classes. It turned out, after long walks and time spent waiting for many people involved, my sister is now under the third honor of the high sections in school.

cool. ;D Thanks be to God for giving us the opportunity to have her learn from her mistakes of being foolishly idled during her elementary and now we hope that she’d do best and make us proud.

Glory be to Him because without His works and guides, we would have never got the chance to make the most of our time giving my sister a chance to change and do better.

Did I hear it right? The road intended for less travel is currently under construction? And that just means I HAVE TO LEAVE HOME EARLIER so that I would reach my school in time! No offense but you see, it would cost me more time, more walks, more waiting in line and more money! x(

Talk about new school year. I think I have to get used to it. Good thing I have new classmates and old friends to accompany me through the whole semester - or maybe even TILL I GRADUATE!

yes, we are now under Block Sections. The worse part is, we are sectioned accordingly - and to be specific, alphabetically according to our school surnames! :(

I finally made it right~

Thanks to my new found friend Anne. :) Yes, she's someone I just know here on the internet, but you know what? I think it really is an interesting thing to have known someone and be friends and comfortable with her instantly. :) I have stumbled upon her site just this morning and we returned PMs and tags and comments.. and now, she helped me with my new blog!

Plus, there's this common thing about us that struck me most - we have the same school and we live in the same city and what else? Isn't that cool? :) I have been blogging for quite some time now and yet my friends whom I know, live somewhere else far... I can even remember the first blogger I met first online - Kim (boybawang.blogspot.com). It actually turned out that he was my close friend's elementary classmate, neighbor and family friend. :D We even had the experience of being in UST together for our first time. funny times. XD

Anyway, I have been staying awake an hour longer - till 5 am?! and I really can't help myself. Maybe because I have so much to do which I can not establish whenever everyone's awake. There are my PTCs and MyLot and blogging and my new addiction?! WATCHING GOSSIP GIRL! I have just started two nights ago and have made for myself an agreement of watching one episode a day, searching first through Veoh and YouTube. Having no luck, I tried search engines, and then there was sidereel.com. where there are lists of available links to all the episodes of the well-loved novel-turned-drama series. P.S. I just finished watching episode 4. Hope I could catch up to the events! :)

"I just don't want to miss anything."

I have downloaded the tracks Secondhand Serenade have months ago, and I am currently having my first time listening to them. To my surprise, I am having some hard time myself because these songs are so dramatic and romantically involved when it comes to emotions that you want to portray.

And now, because of this, I think I am missing someone...Especially now that he actually posted that he would be away from the blogging world for some time, with his baggages being readied for tomorrow morning.

I think it's just what some newborn teenage Christians would actually be conscious about because most of the people our age have their own romantically close friends....

And to think that I had one for a long time, and in which I have fallen so hard - and deep - it would be such a struggle to keep him from coming back to you and all those memories, which happen to be always happy and exciting and the ones you can never forget. How I wish I could make him understand.

However, I have made my decision of following after Christ, and yes, I was very well informed that it is one of the things that I would lost - a lover. Well, I am glad the drama was over. Good thing I have stumbled upon Tita Tetch's blog (and it was oh-so-relieving.)

I missed Jobel.

Since Saturday night, my mother, my sister and I have been to Parañaque for an invitation by the Sornillo family of staying to their home...and I missed being on their very inviting home. We arrived there at about some minutes past 6pm, and what greeted us was the manila paper in which Bij scribbled, "Welcome Home Jobel"...(it's because Jobel attended a 1month long summer camp at Bacolod)

Anyway, walang pics during those moments so nvm na lang. haha. ang tamad ko talaga mag-pic. XO tapos, na-amaze na naman ako sa napakaraming libro ng "Sornillo Library", at andami ko pang nakita na nasa aking "must-read" books. haay. sayang nga lang dahil hiniram ko muna yung Nancy Drew niya.

nanood kasi kami Saturday night ng Nancy Drew the movie, tapos ayun, bumalik na naman yung eagerness ko na magbasa ng Nancy Drew books, pero dati kasi natigil na dahil naging tamad at kunwaring busy sa school. kaya hiniram ko nga yung book nilang dalawa. and mind you, for the first time, nagbasa ng novel si Cindy!! hahahahaha :))

At siyempre hindi pa tapos ang mga impluwensiya sa akin nilang magkapatid. Andun yung mag-aral ng piano ulit dahil may mga sessions sila bago kami umalis, saka nung gabi pinag-aralan namin yung mga beginner's book nila. haha. katuwa. sana naman matupad pa ang mga frustrations ko,db?

Katuwa talaga yung taong yun. haha. pero, hindi ko rin minsan maintindihan. hahaha, kasi minsan tahimik siya at mahiyain, minsan maingay at makulit. haha. naalala ko tuloy yung mga kwentuhan namin tuwing sundays years ago. sayang, hindi ko man lang nagamit yung bawat moment para lalo pa kami maging close. akala ko kasi noon, every sunday talaga kami magkikita since members naman ang parents niya sa church tulad ng sa akin.

haay. nvm. nway,I could live in a place like theirs someday. pero sana hindi kapag matanda na ako. sana kasama ko pa rin ang family ko sa lugar na iyon. ayoko pa magkababy pag nangyari na yun. gusto ko pa rin ng maayos na buhay, ganong pamumuhay.

pero, I can only dream. yes, it's only a dream.

As of now, I am still contained with what I am and with what I have and with my God. :) kaya okay na rin. haha, gusto ko lang din sana na mangyari. haha. :)

ang hirap naman sa FTP and all.

kamusta naman akong dinudugo sa FTP at sa wordpress! haha. gusto mo bang malaman kung anong hirap ang pinagdadaanan ko ngayon?!

1. hindi ako makapaglogin sa wordpress - dahil hindi ko alam. pag pumupunta naman ako sa wordpress.com at naglologin, nagiinvalid password..e, hindi ko naman kaya ginalaw yun! haha. ok, ako na ang baguhan at walang kaalam-alam. bakit naman kanina e nakapagpost ako. haay. kahiya naman kay host. buti pa siya, alam niya mga nangyayari. hahaha. (at mas bata pa siya, kamusta naman. T_T)

2. puro na naman ako download ng themes. haha. at hindi ko naman maselect as primary or something. haay. anong oras ba naman kasi ako available at wala namang ibang tao na gising! waaah!! T_T

3. gusto ko ng layout na ako ang gumawa. at uulitin ko, i'm still learning. haay. ang hirap. dito na lang talaga MUNA ako magpost.. o.o

4. ang alam ko lang gawin sa FTP server ko ay "view", "edit" at "open". kamusta naman,di ba? click lang ako ng click. kapag ako natuto na, tungkol sa basics talaga ang gagawin kong tutorial. promise. (at sana umabot pa ako sa panahong matuto talaga ako,db?)

*host, gising!!*

busy

I've really been busy. Have been to different places in just one week, and not the typical home-calamba crossing. anyway. have a nice day!

by the way, i'm also starting to have my blog at a different host. still,thanks for the visits! :)

good news and bad news. :(

It was already 4 am in the morning just today, May 27 when I have started to turn of f the computer and put myself to sleep. Guess what? I still managed to have some time watching TV, and had some difficulty sleeping because of my period and all. However, who would have thought that I would only sleep for 4 hours?!

Yes, you read that right! It was also a question for me because I really feel tired during the day. Then there's this plan of my mom to take me with her to Alabang (hi ayee! :]) again! During the trip, I sat on my mom's lap because there are no longer seats available. (yeah! I know! We really are poor people! :[) While seating on her lap, I was all the time nervous of being thrown to SLEX because we were a meter tall wall apart from the main door. puh-lease. Thanks to God, I am still safe and sound, and currently on the right mindset, as of now.

*******************

anyway, I have some good news on myLot! :)

1. I already earned about $2.53 (and I can tell you! It was really hard to earn!! I had to sit in front of the computer and think of a million ways on what to respond or what topic to start in discussions and who to refer!)
2. My star is already colored red with the level 9! How cool would that be! When I started myLot, I thought everybody had their own star and level. I think I did best not to think of myself as included. -_-
3. I have so many respondents - as of now. XD really cool. :)

*******************

BAD NEWS My friends are currently having their own overnight/sleepover at Jenny's and I didn't even know about it until someone sent a group message talking about why she wouldn't be there to join THEM!

And I thought I've been a good friend. :(

things and thoughts. XP

First note: the pictures were taken from Jaymie's phone only. -_-

Last Saturday, May 24, my friends and I have decided to go to Sta. Rosa to stroll around the mall found there (it would count as the most proximate large mall in our place here in Laguna). There were six of us - Hannah, Yopeh, Jermaine, Jaymie, Abbie and me. :)

If only Ian had been available, there would have been seven of us -_- and there would be those who would really be happy and have her world turned upside-down, and bloomed with lots and lots of hearts! :) Abbie, who was the one most expecting him turned to ashes (hehe!) because of the bad news! It was days before when she found out that he would be going - and really was looking forward to the day she and Ian would meet. sigh.

Though he compromised by treating Abbie to a fast food store, I think the same thing would come up - he would stand her up! o.o

By the way, the original plan was to go to Enchanted Kingdom (one of the best themed parks here in the country or is it?) but out of the five people planning, Jermaine and I were the only ones sure of having fun there. T_T

It took us 6 hours to roll around the place and get around the long hallways and window shop and look for cute finds (including Jenny's birthday gift!) Jaymie had bought her school supplies in line with the oh-so-many people crowding NBS! Surprisingly, one of our high school classmates, Trish, also was there together with her cute nephew (and older sister)! :) They were so cute together...:) I wish I had a nephew too! Too bad my sister is years younger!

**************************

anyway,I am considering the option of moving into Wordpress because I want to start doing the pay-per-post things. :) also, I would want to experience php which they tell me is easier to work with. I've already considered making decisions and asking for help from people who have long been doing stuff. I hope everything would turn out just fine. :)

**************************

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY JENNY!

Sorry kung hindi ako nakapunta noong birthday mo..Sunday kasi. Hope to see you still next time. :) Congrats din pala dahil UPLB ka na! :)

talk about addiction!

Just last night, I have finally decided to be an active member of myLot, a forum Nesty has introduced to me.

By the way, this night would be Nesty's competition at their Barangay! :) Go Nesty! I'll cheer for you even if I'm not there physically :)

Well, back to the topic, I had 27 or so posts in myLot last night before I have started posting so much, and you could just imagine how I posted so much because I have spent 4 hours gluing my eyes on the computer LCD even if I have my neck and back muscles drooping already. :( There were discussions I couldn't relate to and there were even un-reply-able, but at least I had the guts to still continue. :}

From $0.54, my earnings now had $.49 added! Cool! It's almost equal to what I have earned during the past weeks. :] Yet, I would never want to do this for the rest of my life! When school days come in, there would be less, even NO time for these things. I just hope I could earn more.T_T For those of you wondering, it's a forum site in which you could earn through different activities. Would you want to join? :)

pineapple madness.

it has been a long day for me - though I woke up at around 10-11 am - doing everyday routines like sweeping the floor, dish washing (I am scheduled every one day), tv watching and of course, surfing the net. I had a hard time anyway because my sister and I share our computer thus making it hard for me to share my thoughts.

Why pineapple? It's my healthy snack. I had to make sure that there is a supply of pineapples everyday, and we do a sweetened snack (so easy to do) so that my body would avail itself of detoxification....but anyway I think it's still on the process. XP Imagine I ate about 4 cups of sweetened pineapple just this whole day [or at least during afternoon onwards)!

wait. why do I conceive the rolling pineapple from 50 First Dates? o.o

Anyway, my parents just talked about financial relations over the internet [because my dad is in KSA], and just think of our current situation! I know that they are already fine with each other but just picture that my dad has his business with him, and my mom is helping, but still there are no cash left for miscellaneous things that we also need to pay for..I just hate it when there will be a reality check. Thanks to my grandma, she still helps us whenever we are short on budget - however my dad don't want us to ask for help from her. Reality check, she's just helping us because you can't. I'm not mad at you dad, okay. I'm just wondering why does it have to be this way.

*******************

About my real thoughts about God, I think I still have a lot more to work up on. talk about spending time in my devotions. -_- most of the days,I did accomplish reading His word and marveling on the thoughts and inculcating the sense of it all to myself, but then there would be those times that I feel like I am only doing so because it is one of my duties. I hope and still pray that God will still bless me in my devotions and that He would grant me the desires of my heart, while praising and glorifying Him. ._.

wasting time.

I just spent my afternoon doing nothing, because my mom has dragged me with her to Alabang, where she does business.., and it has been 4 hours! I could have done so many things here in our home! T_T

actually, I have no guts, nor plans, to leave her alone, because she has no one to accompany her and also because she would have no one to help her carry her luggages from her direct selling business...

She might have seen that I was not in a good mood, she went with me and wandered around the mall, where we are at, and bought me some ice cream! ;) or whatever that may be called. [the picture shows a frozen yogurt, but I like it still.] I think it was the same kind above because it behaves not like the ice cream I usually eat, especially the taste. ooh. it's mouth watering. T_T

vacation countdown...

After almost two months of not being able to see nor feel the likes of my College school, I have been in it again just this early morning to enroll for my Second Year classes. There were many people already so I think there would be long lines for payments and registrations and all --- and I was right.

Anyway, early birds included Jam (whom I really miss), Marie (whom I really look upon to! She got 1.28 for her average last semester..-_-), Dahreen (a friend who earns a lot this summer), Evon (a seatmate during Filipino class), Sheryl and Lea (my group mates for our NSTP class) and many others.

I think that I actually missed them. haha. who wouldn't? I miss the times that we were united by a passion not to attend a class of a boring teacher and to do a project hastily. -_- The coming year would not be the same for us because we will be all separated by the alphabetical listing of sections.. *sigh*

Well at least, the latecomer, JR who's one of my close friends during my early times in our school is again one of my future classmates and I hope that we can share a bond that is for us, just like the old times. Nesty, Jopo and Jam, our other close friends will never again be our classmates again. T_T

what happens when you put salt in a mango shake?

you read it right, and it was my mom who did it. She accidentally put salt in our smoothie because she was in a haste. -_- anyway, it was last Thursday when I was with my friends [since high school] to celebrate my classmates' niece's Christening. :) it was also when we ate food for lunch and siesta together again, sang in the videoke prepared for the event and took pictures for vanity purposes. XD though we're not complete, I can still see and feel that time is not wasted with my friends, ü

Feanne obsession [?]

It all started last week when I saw Angeli Sobrepeña making art beads from Polymer Clay, that I decided to do some browsing on her works. I checked her out through my multiply and saw even those online businesses that are already become my contact [though I still haven't bought anything from them yet.] My Little Dress was one of them, and I browsed for their products and one thing caught my attention: their photographer, Valerie Chua. From Valerie's profiles and all, there I saw [finally] Feanne Mauricio who is really someone not ordinary. I really think that she's someone cool, especially that she is an artist with so many artworks that she can be proud of, and everything else.

I can't help myself not to mingle with her online sentiments, with pretty artworks and kitten-related things - and not to mention violet get-ups! [I especially love her new year look x]] anyway, I don't think I am suitable enough to describe her, that my vocabulary is way much less than hers. -_-

I'm just saying that she's my new icon, if that's to be permitted. --,

Let me defend myself.

So, it was my fault that I didn't join in the fun last April z because you already said that the celebration will be on April y, so I have decided to join you in the latter event BUT it wasn't my fault that the other celebrant invited me the other day, April x, to be with her because it would be her celebration day.

The point is, why make me go with you on that day when you know that I am in a deal of distance from where you are, and that I have to be wise on when to go to your place and why. If I have to go there for without reason and without my mom's support, why would I go there?

April x was her celebration and April y was HeR's. Isn't that reasonable enough? why do you have to be so mad at me! and use the reason that I am with her just because she treats me of things...

honestly,why are you so immature?

The urge of earning.

Just last week, after arriving home from the famous island of the Philippines, [if you'll be asking most party-goers and socialites], I have come to realize that not only by working would I want to earn but also through the internet...

I have seen people referring to Bux.to as one of the good ones, and so I have tried it. Then there's MyLot and SurfJunky... of all the three, I have enjoyed SurfJunky because there won't be any need for much work, and you earn as easy as you learn 1-2-3. For some reasons, I invited some friends to be my referrals - and they did - but after some serious research by one of them, turns out that SurfJunky is only a scam!

It just knocks me down whenever I think of it. It's the one I have focused myself into yet it is the one that betrayed my trust. I sure do hope that it would not be the same again. I will remember to always search around anyway before having to do things over and even damaging my own name or bank account! ö

new PTCs, by the way. XD one two three

just arrived..

hardly 24 hours before, i have come again to my hometown, my home. it has been 2 weeks and 2 days that I was away from here.. i missed my family, my computer and my bed... at last, i could sleep peacefully again, without any time that i should be waking up.

************

anyway, we boarded Negros Navigation, from Palawan, which stopped over Caticlan, then to Manila. there's this guy who helped me of my biggest bag, and has given us tips on how to go to Parañaque..

such a great guy, yet i didn't have the chance to get his name, even if we were onboard for 14 hours...

we arrived at Parañaque last Sunday, April 20. we didn't go home that night because we were invited by the Rominas to stay with them until Monday morning, which was consequently moved to Tuesday because it was Krizzia's birthday, yet our departure was then moved again to Wednesday because there was this conflict between the parents, involving my mom.

i have been the subject of laughter for some time now, because of my sleeping habits and all. shamefully true anyway. there's my mom who did not appreciate what i got for her--pillowcases from a rural ukay shop--which really is something cute, but i wasn't aware that its zipper was broken. and so, i am really in a downfall right now. plus this sister who doesn't obey our mom, and me.

************

about the trouble with the parents, it involved first of us, the children. i apologized to someone because i am not getting in touch with her lately, and it was because 'other' friend always turns her away from me, not wanting for us three to converse and so., things happen,

then that former [former-latter, not former=past] friend's mom asked my mom last monday why we're not talking and my mom answered plainly honest. then, tita extended that issue to the latter's mom and things got worse...and worse.

however, by now, all things are settled because it is managed with consent from our pastor...

************

i have no control for my feelings right now, and have decided to live for God. it's a great blessing what Pas. Rene had preached last April 13 at ARBC... about choosing handsome unbeliever lover over a divine God, and he's right. i shouldn't let go of God, but of that unbeliever...

here in aklan...;)

it's funny to be here in a way that you could say that "i'm having my vacation"... i'm out of the city, and have travelled through bus and ships, multicabs and pedicabs which can accomodate more people than the usual. but it's actually sad to be far from your family. there's this issue about closeness and keeping secrets... there's this issue about missing someoneS. haha. and i don't know how to deal with my testimony, if they have already accepted it or not. if it's right or wrong. so let me tell you these things in detail today. in less than 35 minutes' time [i only rented a pc]

okay, first things first. about the testimony. so, it's a written output of a confessing christian, summarizing what happened to her as her transformation from a sinner to a saved woman of God, at the same time evangelizing, glorifying and praising in God's name...so that those who read of it will also be saved. i was interviewed for the church membership in MCBC just last april 6, the night when ate janet and ate dyan were baptized. there's this thing with being friends and unequal yoking for Christ and for unbelievers...and that i can't be with those who don't recognize Christ as their Savior. so, goodbye my almost lover...

sana mabasa mo to.

regarding aklan, i am enjoying the different foods which they serve us. there's this 'inuburan' which uses the 'ubod' of a young banana shoot as the main ingredient...it's so much of a good taste, and i'll be missing it because it's only cooked here. i think. there's also this clean environment and early-to-bed-early-to-rise environment, because people are all hardworking... they cook food early and go to work early, and of course, go home early. at about 5.30 or just when darkness strikes, you can see the people increasing, especially the transport vehicles, so it's hard to stay late at night if you are not to be in your own house, and without a vehicle.

i only complain about the fellowship i am getting from my vacation-mates, because they are buddies from the church since they met, and i'm the shy and quiet girl that i am so you expect me get lost and be upon by myself..there are those issues that only they would know, there would be things that they are the only ones who can talk about, and i'm getting sick of it. i guess.

good thing the revesencio sisters are all accomodating and they treat as well.. i am also being influenced by their family's faith in God, thinking that i should kick up the notch this time..

anyway, i have brought my betraying camera which i think is the worst in the world. how could it be a photographer by night?! you know what i mean?! whenever i shoot pictures of the world with the sunlight present, it would be giving out pictures with too much light on, much like just a white image. i hate it!
there's this time that we are on a ship and that you could see boracay island, picture perfect with the right amount of sunrise on it, and then it turned out to be an image not meant to be. if only i could buy a NIkon D40 whatever which is much like that of professionals, then i could be a pro myself. T_T
but still, since i should be contented, then i'll be patient till i can get my own work. [huh?!]

and then, there is the church which is a fellowship for all...but just last this friday after my first attendance of a night prayer meeting, there was this couple who was involved with an accident because they get rid of a dog on their way....we prayed for it, and you can feel the sincerity of the whole congregation...[i felt it more during the accident but felt it earlier during the prayer meeting]..it's good to hear the desires of the church being reported to God and all,,

about my friends in the opposite sex,i feel very neutral. yet i want to feel happiness and all. there's arnie whom i have labelled as friend, because it is meant to be that way since i am devoting myself to God, and then there's ian..who knows that i am devoted to God..he still confessed that i caught his attention and all [though he argues with me through text all the time] and there's kuya joseph who, i think is to be forgotten.

i miss my mom. i miss cindy. i miss dad. i miss school. i miss jam. i miss nesty. i miss jr. i miss arn.

march updates. XD

last month passed by, and so did many things.

there's Cindy's graduation, in which i was able to see my friend, Bi-ean and her father, and Arnie who was personally invited by my family, and there's Mark who bugged me for my notes in Biology, our exam the day after, the last of the Final Exams. much for the graduation is another problem - where would my sister be for high school? it has been rumored that it is now more strict to enroll in the high school i went into for her batch starting this June.

there's also this Unlimited Unlimitxt in which i was surprised to know that i have been able to SMS friends of the same network, unlimitedly [unlike others who have theirs for only 24 hours, mine is still active for more than a week! cool!

also, in the same month, i have since been a close friend to one of my crushes [?]...haha! funny because we only met once, yet it's as if we knew each other for how long...;) but, he's graduating now. anyhow, i still am happy for being such friends with cool people like kuya Joseph. XD another weird thing, is that, he's friends with one of Arnie's past patients. hehe.

sad part of my month? the end of the semester, and having future classmates according to the alphabetical arrangement of my batch's students. [at least, i can be classmates again with one of my close friends during the first sem--JR.] there's even this time when we had to stay late for school just to savor the last time that Jam, Nesty and I are classmates, by acquiring and exchanging personal letters from each one.

anyway, there's this invitation from a family friend to have a vacation with them at Kalibo, Aklan, with the chance to be in Boracay for two weeks! cool... good thing, i have been allowed to go since this summer would be the last free summer that i am going to have for the next 4 years!

[and i know. i SHOULD prepare.]

we are leaving on monday. i'll surely miss my friends. and my pc. T_T

Almost summer XD

I've been doing this for awhile now. Getting up early in the morning so that I could study for a quiz, or memorize for the speech that we are about to deliver this coming morning. J I know, there's always this cramming and rushing - again!

Since I miss the times when I devote some of my time doing blogging, I might as well update my long-forgotten blog which has a layout waiting for me to install. I've designed that layout and my "encoder" just can't wait to see it online – yet, as I have said, I have missed updating it.

Anyway, I miss to do blog hopping, too! [I've been waiting for the summer to arrive so that I could start doing things that I have enjoyed doing. J]

As of now, I am happy and contented with what I am and what I have, because I know that God is the One who gave these to me, and I'm just glad that every time I go to school and be at home, I am always safe and hasn't undergone the kidnapping drama that is widespread among our region (the internal organ-takers!) Also, my family is in a stable condition now, without that much worrying about finances and all…

The Rominas are not leaving the country soon, as opposed to the decisions made earlier this year – and I am also thankful for that because not only we shall keep our friends physically, we can also enjoy each other's company for a longer time and share new experiences that we could encounter in the upcoming days. I think that only the fact that they will not be able to supply us loads of chocolate will be the ONLY reason why I would want them to continue their migration – haha. XD

And then, let me tell you about our Foundation Week at school held last February in which I enjoyed new experiences with my classmates and new friends either because of working for the "café liberate" [is that our shop's name?! I can't remember!!] or because I had time to go back and forth Los Baños where my high school friends are. P.S. they helped me with my project in Biology, which was the preservation of animals (I chose insects, which require a comparative report) and they were the ones who caught 2 different grasshoppers which I searched in the internet for about a whole day!

With the event, I have enjoyed some time serving customers [which include the cute former Mr. (insert my school here) and those whom they say <s>like</s> me. I had the opportunity to watch the band which I enjoyed during the acquaintance party [they sing paramore hits], the inter-math competition in which I knew "matt evans of the School of Engineering" and in which I enjoyed a short time accompanying my former teacher who influenced me much on my mathematical ability – or should I wish!? Haha.

About people around me, it's a good thing having friends around, though I'm not as much a busy person like them (Nesty!) and that there will always be that "special friend" – which is not imaginary – who will always be one text away. . .J

And another friend whom I also enjoy company with XP

Of birthdays

It's now my birthday. My early present, materially would be the bracelet Phoebe gave me just last Sunday and the butterfly keychain Jam gave me. She said it was from a store in Paete in which she had just first time shopping.

Emotionally, I think I am given mixed emotions for the things I did. Flunking in an exam would be the perfect example of the negative side. It happens so fast that I do not know how to feel. Earlier today was when I found my name on the Dean's list and couldn't find a reason why not to be happy until foolishness and stupidity hit me on the head face-to-face.

I can still remember the same situation last year for January 22. We also were taking our first day exams and the UPCAT results, where I found my name, were released. It was such a remarkable and overwhelmingly joyful experience that I got to share even with one of the people who hated me so much. It even turned out great because he even complimented me by saying, "I know, pangalan mo pa nga ang una kong hinanap e. galling! Biochem sa UPM…" so much like that. My classmates and friends on the other hand were also gleeful for us and the thing that they said to me for the nth time was "ang galing naman ng pa-birthday sa iyo"…

Two years ago, on the same day of my birthday [actually, it was midnight then], two people were contesting of being the one to greet me – the first past the post? A*nie. [The other one still don't know that he was past the former.] Then last year, it was solitary. He was the only to one to greet me. Earlier this very hour anyway, it was only my mom.

And I don't get it.

DEPRESSED.

I'm kind of depressed right now. Lately, I have been so busy with studying that I can't even remember how to relax, I guess. Paper works are due throughout the week, until weekends, and midterm exams keep on coming. In addition, quizzes and class performances are also teeming because the grades are due sometime in the first week of February.

Another thing is that the issue of the centennial anniversary of UP, wherein I should have been a part of it. A thing that makes me regret everything that happened during the last 2007. I think I could never leave the fact that I still would want to be part of a renowned university where my friends and the people surrounding me are all part of this whole society that has long been established and has been standing with great pride just by being part of it. It doesn't really matter if you're failing or whatever standing you have or whatever positions you garnered inside it, but the fact that you are one of them makes you so proud.

I remember one time when I was in UPM that I was savoring every moment that I was in my supposed to be university. I actually couldn't wait for the first day of class that I will be having. I even imagined myself with the cute bio guy from Chiang Kai Shek, or even the BS Nursing student who is one of the guides or something [meaning from the second year], or his companion. J

Seriously Maddening!

Second time for school after the dengue + confinement happened… I think it would be my most awaited day for this week—why wouldn't it be? I had to make up for the prelim exam for physics that I missed last, last Saturday because of my admission at the hospital!

What I had gone through, you must ask!
It was yesterday when I had to fill out the completion form which has several copies that needed to be accomplished. I have waited until 6.30 in the evening [last time that I did spent my evening at school was for the Ms. School of Nursing pageant] just to avail of the special examination for the said course, which I should have spent for attending the RCM at LB. my teacher did not allow me to take the test because I have not completed the form which was supposed to be the special exam permit.

Darn.

I have miscalculated my schedule and I have suffered the consequence—I searched for my instructor room after room from each floor of [luckily] two [only] buildings. After almost 45 minutes, I found her walking down the hallway in which I have passed [and looked through] twice! HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED HER! And my bag was so much of a pain to bear!

Well anyway, I have taken the test. It was tough—for those who haven't have time to review. Hopefully, I will pass.

January 7

After spending the rest of my vacation having myself confined to the four-walled room 209 of Pamana Medical Center, I was home again, at last. I was released by my doctor after she monitored [did she?] my vital signs and all. My case? Grade 1 dengue.. and it was my first time to be an in-patient. The visitors I had was even kidding me—they said I was supposed to be the one taking care of the patients and not be the patient myself.

Photos will be coming soon. Hopefully.
