Guys, this one is really good. It is our newbie production for this year.

2006-09-11T17:47:00.000+08:00

I have a new blog. It is not yet that finished, but I like it better. I won't change this layout because I still am an HSM addict. You can visit my new blog(it is in blogger BETA) here.

It has its own tagboard, don't keep quiet!

2006-08-28T11:24:00.000+08:00

UST beats Ateneo! 88-80, August 27. Certainly not a happy day for the eagles.

2006-08-26T12:55:00.000+08:00

in a way that's different than who we are

2006-08-23T15:36:00.000+08:00

making a paris hilton video:

1. wear a bikini.

2. get some guy with abs.(haha...screenings involve having the candidates make out with each other...nude)

3. lip synch

4. (most important) make out with the guy.

Now, girls, isn't that easy?

Not like making tarts.

2006-08-16T11:46:00.000+08:00

okay I get it. you might punch me now for being a fan of High School Musical, but maybe I'm really just young. hehe. It is so Disney and I love Disney.(Maybe child at heart?) It would not be so bad to appreciate things like this once in a while, especially if you have to endure weeks of hell. (Maybe I'm going crazy!)

But I have to forget HSM for now, because I need to go to France.

2006-08-14T17:42:00.000+08:00

I just realized how I really want to go to France.

HELP.

1.) study REALLY hard(as in career) for eco and polsci(+ other subjects)
2.) save money
3.) be nice to parents.

I NEED(not want) to GO TO FRANCE!!!!!!

pray for me.

oh, and also pray for my mom's cousin who passed away yesterday due to an accident. She is a reporter for ABC-5. Her name is Hazel Recheta.

Let us pray for her and her family.

2006-08-12T17:18:00.000+08:00

Cla, you have to get an LJ and befriend me.

FINALLY I BOUGHT A CD OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK!!!

help!

2006-08-11T16:24:00.000+08:00

pray for me so that I may save money and get A's, not F's so that I could go to France next year.

I can do this.

2006-08-07T13:24:00.000+08:00

we have a free cut in Political Science! *applause* hahaha. so now, I'm basically bumming around here in the RSF(Rizal Study Foyer aka Comp Lab) got nothing to say anymore.

2006-08-05T14:44:00.000+08:00

I am so sleepy.

hehehe.

2006-08-02T19:08:00.000+08:00

OMG, just memorized the steps for We're All in This Together Chorus. Cla got that, and the Wildcats part too. She is the dancer here, after all.

Got 72(C) in the cursed economics exam. Better luck(?) next time.

with kids

2006-07-29T14:11:00.000+08:00

in NSTP, we are going to be teaching Grade 6 students. Geesh. But they were so kind and courteous. If you ever thought public school kids are rowdy, maybe you did not have time to hang out with them ever.

all hail the day of bitchy long tests!

2006-07-27T18:14:00.000+08:00

AaAaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

Socrates said, "The untested mind is not worth living(or something to that effect)."

But if you are to take tests like my French 1 and Economics 102, untested minds seem so much like a dream.

We just had two long tests a while ago, the first test(French) an hour and a half away from the Eco exam. Geez, The french test seemed easy at the beginning, but when you get to the middle and latter parts, you see how hard the language is. Eet ees sow owfooly komplikeyted.

Pourquoi (Why) ?

Eco Test is even much more depressing. Rather not talk about. First F, on the way. (or D, perhaps, but that's if my luck pushed through)

The good thing is that they are over and I have to wait another month before I taste another round of these "mind-testers."

I am not regretting my decision to quit TA(anong connection?) But I am regretting the fact that I had not been hanging out at Galian more often last year. this is it, blooey!

I suddenly miss being in kindergarten. You know, being with the toys and the jumbo pencils and jumbo crayons with not a stitch of worry(except when your tummy begins to squirm like mad). Me want that crayon! NOW!!!!!(tantrum)

"Come on you Von Tussels, come on shake your fanny muscles!"(-hairspray)

Huh.

Something doesn't seem right...

2006-07-14T15:57:00.000+08:00

Right now, I am on my way to an org assembly for TA(Yes, people, because I am THAT obsessed with theater, I joined TA), but I thought, "I should be home by now!" Both my siblings are home now! What is happening to me!

I cut History today. It is one of the few classes that gives meaning to my going to school. I cut History because I was watching High School Musical on a friend's laptop. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. THANKS SO MUCH.)I was thinking, "Is this me? Cutting class to watch a film? Gee, the things that changes one when he or she gets into college. To tell you the truth, I actually have a long list of things to do(other than rambling myself on the NET) but is just too lazy or not in the mood to do. Oh, this is not like me in high school. I used to be organized, prim, nerdy, in other words a complete geek. But now, everything is done at the spur of the moment.(Papers to be passed must not be done like this.) But then again, this spontaneity is fun, for want of better words. It is like a Give Yourself Goosebumps book. You make the story, you make the decisions, but you also suffer the consequences. I am suffering the consequences, but i don't think I'll be giving up on this anytime soon.

*sigh*

Seeing my name on the dean's list is an inspiration and a disappointment. It inspires me to make it again, but I am also scared at the thought of not making it. I thought that I would love my second year subjects, but so far, all it gave me is a mumbling professor, a babbling professor, a completely boring lesson, an old professor, and a really terrible headache.

Please, let it not be like this.

oops, time for TA.

new bloggie!

I'll still update this one though.

There are many stages that the heart goes through

Just read the many pages that have led you to

The one your heart belongs to and sings its songs to

It...

all begins with

HELLO then

LOVE HER

HATE HIM

LOVE THEM SO

First DANCE, First KISS, First CALL, you know

It's all a part of

THE STAGES OF LOVE!

Stages of LOVE!

2006-07-07T22:04:00.000+08:00

Let me just say that if you have not yet watched Blue Repertory's production of Stages of Love, you will be missing a really big chunk of your life's meaning. The play is just so good and you'll feel that the world would be a better place with just more love.

and those words came from a person who considers love(and dating and courting) a big waste of time.

It's sold out though. Looks like FA theatre is not enough to accomodate the multitudes of people who wanted to watch the play.

I'm a sophomore!(it's starting to sink in.)

2006-07-06T21:46:00.000+08:00

Last year, I met a new group of people who I thought were nothing but snobs and high-strung. Guess how wrong I was. Today, 4 of them have left the block(2 left, 2 shifted) but three people replaced them. The truth of the matter is that now, I am classmates with all of them. I see them everyday. When I was a freshman, there was no class that we were all together(except INTACT, and it was a complete borefest). But now, we all enjoy History, all abuse Theology, all sleep during Economics. I wonder what could still happen. After all, the year is still young. I miss my english blockmates though.

Cla, sit in kami bukas kay Missy at 8.30. Sure na, nakausap ko na siya. Just saying.
Joyce, haven't seen you. Ever. Where are you in the Atenean labyrinth?

and it was unregrettable

2006-07-05T18:38:00.000+08:00

I did it, and I did not regret it. I am venturing into something new, maybe even more difficult than the previous, but I will try my very best to give my best.

I pray and hope I can.

2006-07-04T21:01:00.000+08:00

I am happy that I finally got the guts to do something I shouls have done a year earlier. I have to make sure never to regret this decision.

and now, I'll tell you what I think.

2006-07-03T20:21:00.000+08:00

I think that a perfect world is an unattainable world.

***

I think that an imperfect world can still improve.

***

I think that we can improve an imperfect world.

***

I think that our government is a government of the people, for the people, by the people.

***

Once upon a time...

***

I think that to live, we must be human.

***

I think that to be human, we must have emotion.

***

I think that to have emotion, we must have a heart.

***

I think that to have a heart, we must have a soul.

***

I think that to have a soul, we must be human.

***

I think that although what I said before doesn't seem to make sense and is cyclic, it is not altogether impossible. We just have to find a way.

***

Most of us have not yet found the way, thus, we are not fully human.

***

I think that what I think may be wrong, but since they are what I think, they are right for me.

***

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

***

P.S. I think that you think well.

Gee. What were the chances of that?!

2006-07-02T21:26:00.000+08:00

Last Friday, I cut SA class for the First time. SA- Sociology and Anthropology. And perfect timing, the teacher announced a quiz. It's not that bad, I have read the articles(naks yabang.)

***

I haven't had any decent post recently, and it's because of very busy weeks in school.

***

Too tired and not in the mood now. Au revoir.

the MAGIC of Silence

2006-07-01T15:20:00.000+08:00

Vous vous appelez comment?

2006-06-29T19:07:00.000+08:00

here is my hierarchy of favorite subjects.

1.) FRENCH! I love it so muchos(oh wait, that's spanish, I think) because it is just so parfait(now, that's french.)

2.)HISTORY!(Am I weird or am I not weird?) I like it because contrary to popular belief, I don't fall asleep in class.

3.)TENNIS! I think I'm getting the hang of it, kahit taxing yung game.

4.)ANTHROPOLOGY! It's aircon, and we get an hour of chatting with blockmates. We can cut whenever we want because the teacher doesn't take attendance.

5.)POLITICAL SCIENCE. Listening to the teacher say her biases(mostly against GMA) is like listening to a party-list representative who is obviously anti, but denies it.(Huh?)

6.)ECONOMICS. It's a little boring, but at least I get to answer tough questions.

7.)THEOLOGY. It's my least favorite, because of the classroom ambiance. I feel dizzy because I am just sooooooooo SLEEPY!

Now you know.

***

Et vous?(and you?)

***

Two weeks into school and my feet are already aching like hell. But at least i'm with my blockmates in all of my classes(awwww.)

***

I"M GETTING A LOCKER! (hehehe.)

***

Gee, it's like I haven't been here for too long.(I last updated this blog yesterday.)

***

I miss OrSem. I miss my freshies. I miss being a TnT. and I also miss R07.

French!

2006-06-28T17:07:00.000+08:00

Bonjour!

Je m'appelle JOSE

I miss you too.

2006-06-23T13:18:00.000+08:00

GEOC, thank you for texting me. yes, all of us have our limits din and I guess I reached mine. But no matter, what's important is that we all know we're human and that we make mistakes. Mali din ako nung dinamay ko lahat sa aking "senti moment." hehe

PAULINE, thanks for your concern. See above(cross-reference ba?)

CLA, kaya mo yan. That's all I will say. This is a hurdle. GRACEFULLY jump over it.

JOYCE, Miss ko na kayo! Sobra! Monotonous yung voice niya, pero nagjojoke naman siya minsan(corny nga lang). Clear na ba?

Sigh.

2006-06-22T12:23:00.000+08:00

That's all I can say to sum up the first week(No classes tomorrow.) There's so much stress, too many subjects and lots and lots of people crowding the damn photocopying stations.

SCENARIO:

7:30 am

(Me and two friends approach the xerox lady in the annex 2nd floor)

ME: ...

Ate: Ay wag muna dito di pa nga ako tapos dun sa mga pinaxerox kahapon.

Basically of all the photocopy stations in the Library, only two accepted our book.

Could you imagine how long the lines were yesterday? I could not remember having longer lines than this when I was a freshman.

So, I have two- 200page handouts(PoS and SA) and numerous books.

You can only imagine.

Zzzzzzz.

2006-06-21T19:04:00.000+08:00

Gawd. Commuting from Ateneo is really taxing. nevertheless, I would not stop it. Just think of stopping by Gateway. Every. Single. Day.

Well, the first week is turning out to be much more hellish than I had expected. We have no quizzes yet, but the reading assignments are really enormous. Now I know why they say Euro is a hard course. In one sem, you get History, Anthropology, Economics, Theology, a foreign language(mine is French) and Political Science. Comm majors got Psychology, Com 100 and 101 and Fil 14 and Theology. To Comm majors, I think your course is really great and of high standards, but this sem, allow me to say that our course load is heavier than yours.

***

being a TnT really opened new doors for me. Doors so wide that I did not even imagine it was that many.

***

have to rush now. Economics is waiting.

My first day was fine. How was yours?

2006-06-19T17:07:00.000+08:00

To begin with, my first class was 9.30 in the morning. It was History. Our teacher, Sir Dave, is like the male version of Missy. Very funny but strict regharding class policies. Our PolSci teacher, Ms. Oreta, is a little monotonous but bearable. SocioAnthro was held in SS Conf Rm 1/2. Our teacher, Ms. Nagai-Yabut, is Japanese and still needs help with her English. Throughout the day, I got to bond with the block(we are all in this together now) and was able to nauseate at the visions of full corridors of people near Berchmans and Gonzaga. (The realization that there are so much freshmen in the campus starts to sink in.) In general, I had a good first day, but whether I would have a good (read: non-hell) first week still remains to be seen. (We already have lecture in SA.)

Cla, could you return my Botany book already? Text me...We'll talk on Tuesday because we're Tuesday people(naks, Morrie!)

Joyce! la lang.

Mga Freshies ko! Kwento naman diyan!

And then it was over. (Part 2)

2006-06-17T09:45:00.000+08:00

So, we stopped at the Dep talks. Let's leave it at that.

In the afternoon, there was a Mass and Day 1 ends.

Wednesday.

If the block only mildly bonded on day 1. They surely have gotten really really close on day 2. Lots of fun GDs and the Campus Tours bonded all of us together, even the logs. Of course, a liitle Banana, Chuga and Pacific Ring of Fire helped as well. The Secret Messages were really sweet, I will be alloting another entry for them(if I can find them.)

Thursday

Last day! Sadly, we were not with Block C today. But with R42. They proved to be bonded already, despite the fact that some of them only met that day. Orsem night was ...( I really don't know, TnTs were having senti sessions during the O-night.) After the orsem however, BASAAN! I've never been splashed with water bottles before in my life. And so I took my revenge on those concerned(Gela, Mian, Rana and Yel.)

and so, Orsem ends here. You get the point right. Once you see the secret messages, you will understand why being a TnT is so much fulfilling despite being exhilarating and daunting, not to mention tiring. When I was a freshman, I vowed that I will become a TnT for one reason: to shout at the Freshies and get free food. That reason now sounds very childish and superficial. I have different reasons now, butr nonetheless, expect me to there in the CovCourts next year, dancing on chairs(not well, but at least I'm giving my all) once more.

CHUGA ON!

And then it was over.

2006-06-16T15:28:00.000+08:00

The VIAJE temporarily stops.

I could not even begin to tell you the events of the past three days. I'm also not sure that I could finish it or tell it completely, but what the heck, I 'll try.

Tuesday

We met the freshies while, of course, dancing on chairs. That is the TnT way(as you would probably know.) I am handling block C(AB PSY, but you already know that) and it took time for all of my freshies to arrive. When they did finally arrive (complete attendance), we started the morning show. Then we moved to B207 to do our first group dynamics. You should have seen me dancing on the chair. I almost fell. Carmina even said, "So, ganyan pala ang gawa ng TnTs? Sumasayaw sa chair?"

Of course, no Orsem is complete without the legendary Banana and Chuga dances. This year we added another dance, the famous Pacific Ring of Fire. You should see me do it. (It's one heck of a laugh.)

Okay, continue. We mob-ed back to the CovCourts for lunch and then went to CTC for the Dep talks.

(I'm bored. have to stop. continue later)

And then, there I was...

2006-06-12T22:03:00.000+08:00

This is it. Tomorrow, it will be the first day of Viaje 2006. So I better sleep early. Rejuvenate!

I am sort of glad that i won't have to experience registration for another five months. But I feel really tired for Joyce, you might want to know(or not) how her reg went and if you reg is tiring at all, you will be thankful you did not go through as hers did. See her blog.

I took PE 108 (tennis) this sem.(Kapal no.)

***

Just asking:

If winning is not everything, why do they keep score?

1st Sem

2006-06-06T16:25:00.000+08:00

Grades are up! fot the summer of torturous hell...I got:

Fil 14 - B+
Psy 101 - A

QPI: 3.75

My incomplete schedule for the first sem is(todo na to):

M-W-F:

Hi 18.1(History) - 9.30-10.30- CTC 308
PoS 100(PoliSci) - 12.30-13.30- CTC 306
SA 21(Socio/Anthro) - 13.30-14.30 - F-304

(I just realized: In ten minutes, I have to run from third floor CTC to third floor Faura.)

T-Th:

Ec 102(Eco) - 12.00-13.30 - CTC 203
Th 121(Theo) - 13.30-15.00 - CTC 107

(I still don't have schedules for French and PE)

I'm back!

2006-06-05T10:37:00.000+08:00

After a week's hiatus, I am finally back(originally, the plan was to stop blogging for more than two weeks but I just couldn't miss the chance to be conceited here...) Unfortunately, I have nothing to be conceited about today, because nothing much happened during my "silence." Well, nothing except the three-day TNT training! It was really so much fun, I am telling you, so much bonding, so much laughing. It is definitely hard not to "chuga on." I can't go into detail because it would take me too long, but I can tell you that it is...fun.(Did I tell you that before?)

I am handling block C(an AB Psy block) during the OrSem. For the Englis block, I am handling R42. Hmmm...It still remains to be seen whether these blocks are from heaven or from hell.

It's two weeks before school opens. Joyce, how did you know your schedule na?

hehehe II

2006-05-30T10:33:00.000+08:00

I have watched the DA VINCI CODE!

and...I got that eentsy weentsy point so I was exempted from Fil as well. hehehe

Aaaaarrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!

2006-05-29T11:51:00.000+08:00

I didn't get the Fil exemption, not that I expected any, but I got an 86.32. I discovered that if I just got even one eentsy weensy point, I will raise it to 86.67!

Oh well.

Totally conceited post.

2006-05-26T12:21:00.000+08:00

Okay, first of all, I am so happy today because, well I just got exempted from Psychology finals with an A! Not just an A, a 94.92% A! So much for doubting my natural capabilities to understand and analyze schizophrenics, paranoids and suicidals...*ehem ehem*

***

To add to my already conceited post...we have received the results of our second long test in Filipino. Now, because I am so conceited, I will first point out that most of my classmates got scores like: 37, 32, 35, 38, 41, 40... the exam is over 50. Do you know what score I got? Only a 46/50!....A! In my teacher's words: MAHUSAY! (There must be some form of karma that will result from this total airheadedness.)

***

Add to that the amazing 122 random number I've got! So is badminton or recreational activities my PE for now? I've no more problems because I already passed, nay, ACED PE 101...*another ehem ehem*

***

there's something wrong about the title. I have read in Joycee's blog that using totally as an adverb is wrong. For example, in my title TOTALLY CONCEITED is wrong because there is no such thing as PARTIALLY CONCEITED. It's basically two-way. You are, or you're not. But why am I giving you a grammar lesson on such a fine day?

***

I wonder how much a certain person pays the Ateneo in exchange for random numbers like 8, 23 and now 93? *he he he* and this person still finds time to complain! Now, how would you react to that? Hint: this person is an Atenean(apparently?) and studies stuff related to TV and radio and newspaper...

***

Well, gotta run. There is a quiz for Fil and somehow, in the depths of my hopelessly impaired mind, I am hoping for an exemption in this subject too. What the?

Finally, a decent random number for me.(which disproves my theory that the computer assigning random numbers has been tampered by my enemies...like I have any...or do I?)...ladies and gentlemen of the blogging world, my random number for the 1st semester of School Year 2006-2007 is...

...122...

It is, of course, leagues away from the 1700+ this summer, and definitely much better than 400+ and 300+ in my freshman year. I'm quite sure that I will finally be able to get a decent PE class.

***

Today is heck of a lot better than yesterday, only that I did not see even one blockmate today. You got that right. Not one. Okay, I saw Drea for like two minutes. Blame it on the crazy schedules.

(blurb)

2006-05-24T15:49:00.000+08:00

Okay, our report was, I don't know, sort of okay, but not the type of reports I would be impressed. But I am just glad that it is so over! So for, now, I am a free person with nothing to do except listen to a whole bunch of reports, discussions and answer quizzes for the rest of the week. My hell three days officially ends. yay! double yay! But, I don't know what else to write so I'll just end right here. I must get that psy exemption because Fil exams are on Tuesday. if I would not be exempted, then I will have both my finals on the same day and I don't even want to know how horrible that will be.

It's the last week of summer...

2006-05-23T16:03:00.000+08:00

...so, not surprisingly, I(and the rest of Ateneo students with summer classes not including Cla and Joyce) am experiencing hell week. Well, technically, it is not the hell-est week I have ever had. It is not even technically a hell week, just a hell three days, from yesterday, until tomorrow. I have four major "PUNISHMENTS", three of which I have (hopefully) survived: the FIL LONG TEST NO. 2(which has questions like: Magbigay ng 2 komento tungkol sa komentaryo ni Bienvenido Lumbera sa "Mahal na Pasion." If that sounds easy, try this one: Ibigay ang kumpletong pangalan ng Pasiong Pilapil: answer is CASAYSAYAN NANG PASIONG MAHAL NI JESUCHRISTONG PANGINOON NATIN NA SUCAT IPAG-ALAB NANG PUSO NANG SINOMANG BABASA...whew.), the FIL PAPER(sa dulang TATLO-TATLO at ANG SISTEMA NI PROPESOR TUKO[pronounced tu-kow], talakayin kung alin ang tradisyunal at moderno.) and the dreaded PSYCHOLOGY LONG TEST NO. 3(I can't seem to remember a question from that one). Tomorrow, we will have FIL REPORTING on the short story MIDSUMMER by MANUEL ARGUILLA. As you may have noticed, three of my four punishments came from FIL 14. I don't know why exactly. The better point about all this is that we have no more Psych classes, and we are just waiting for the pre-final. I am keeping my fingers crossed for an exemption in this subject. I know they demand an A(average of 92.00) but so far, my first two long tests(30% of grade) averages approximately 96%. For Filipino, unless I got a good mark on that paper(of course the definition of good is subjective) and a high score in that second long test, and if the teacher finds our report comprehensive and informative, I could also score an exemption from the finals. That would be ideal of course, because if I get exempted on both subjects, I have no final exams to study for. And to complete my bragging blahblahs today, I am a TnT. I know that you know already, it's just fun to repeat it. So as you can see, this is sort of a summation of the more than one month I have for summer. And summer's almost over. I can see June in my cellphone's calendar already(but come to think of it, I could still have seen it whether it is January of 2004.) Come June, I have TnT training seminar, registration and OrSem(time to Mobe, freshmen!) waiting for me. So you could guess that this is one of my busiest summers ever, and certainly not the one where I usually bum around the house(I do that on weekends, though.) I have Theo 121 come first sem already, and History, Economics, Socio/Anthro, French and PoliSci(I almost forgot the last one.) As you see, no Maths! Can't wait for the sem to start.

***

As you can see, I just blabbed on and on. This is not what I really intended for my entry today. I have something else in mind, but my source(a reader's digest issue from yesteryear, seemed to have disappeared from the metal bookshelves of the library(I did not come fast enough to do a Matrix like-jump from near the door, shouting, "No! Don't get that!")

You're so damn right.

This is an excerpt from Julie's blog.

Carmina suggested we ride an Fx while I was pro LRT since that's where I'm most used to. Memorable scene on the bus: Carmina shouted SM megamall when she saw SM Makati, jolting Pat and ultimately putting me in horror.

We went down Main Ave and were still discussing, nay, arguing where to ride. When I told them we'd walk a long walk to Farmer and then Gateway, they loved the idea of seeing gateway and was actually hyped about riding the LRT. Funny scene: The two giggling at the site of the Araneta Center. I had to suppress memories my first manila trip some four years ago. We got to Gateway where I first had knee cramps. We looked at the resto there which I have dubbed the Aquarium and browsed at Fully Booked. I was relieved when we got on board the LRT. I think it was their first time on the Purple line. I think Mina was delighted at the name of the LRT 2. The ride actually stands as one of the many highlights, I suppose, of that trip (for them anyway). Things which seemed new and big for them was routine for me. Once they do it a couple more times, they'd get used to it.

First of all, I think that memorable scene is really funny. Mina...hmmmmmm. Anyway, you will learn eventually that SM Megamall is along Ortigas(I think) and a lot more things. I know that this is most improper, I mean, I did not even join you on your trip, what am I doing posting here anecdotes of your adventures? Well, I'm not sure myself.

Julie, this is the sign of the freshman I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (or is it innocence?) we were talking about. I went through all of this, don't get me wrong. And I've been living in Manila since the day after our graduation ceremonies.

So, what have I learned after living in Manila since the day after our graduation ceremonies? Many and none. I've been able to commit to memory some of the places, but in the long run, I'm still clueless. Suffice it to say that I will never memorize by heart the labyrinth that is Metro Manila.

However, I am learning.

Let's see, it is around eight twenty and I am already at the library. Ideally, I will be studying here for five hours because I have a Fil long test at 1.30 and I still don't know a damn thing. Suffice it to say that I only watched TV during the weekend when I have a Long test today(FIL), another one tomorrow(PSY) and a paper due tomorrow(FIL) and reporting on wednesday(FIL). After the reporting is over, I can breathe more easily. Can't wait for wednesday. I have to do well in all those things so I can be exempted from the Finals. Ganun ako kakapal. hehe

3. If a woman is running away from someone, she will trip and fall.

4. Cars will explode in all accidents, no matter how slight.

5. Haunted houses are never locked(well, they sort of do lock when you're already inside.)

6. The hero will always find parking space(how come?)

7. if he jumps hundreds of feet into water, it will always be deep enough.

8. If he's ugly(or she looks like...) , he/she is bad.

9. If he's handsome(or she's beautiful), he/she's good.

10. Characters on TV never have time to watch TV.(bad...)

But I do have a question though. Do I have to nag you people to tag? Where are YOU?

MI3

2006-05-15T09:12:00.000+08:00

We just watched MI3 last Friday. "We" means Pauline, Gela, Geoc, Telle, Drea and yours truly. We watched in Eastwood after we watched the Enta play for Fil. Actually, I was not slated to go, but there you are. My father's plane was delayed so they couldn't fetch me that night.

***

Oh, and I have only one comment: You must not miss the movie.

Now, it IS the end of the WEEK!

2006-05-12T14:37:00.000+08:00

Okay, so it's Friday, and I am just waiting for 5pm, so that I could watch the play by Enta and then its back home for me. My father's also coming home from Thailand, and ... well, that's it.

***

We have received our second long exams, and you would never believe how high our scores were again. As with the first long exam, the class average again is an A. 20+ students received a grade of A, and one even got 65/60, meaning that he answered all of the test questions correctly, and got all 5 bonus questions correct as well. When you look at that, I feel just thankful that my score is 58/60, and, I am not the last "A" person anymore. hehe. Three in our group of 5 got an A, so I guess that proves that General Psychology is one of the easiest subjects in Ateneo. It is also a plus factor that our teacher, Sir Weevens Ty, is a very good one: not boring, funny, and approachable. And he gives tests that we could all manage. hehe. again.

we don't have Fil today.

I can't wait for summer to end already. Oh, and wish me luck or pray for me so that I pass that TnT interview. I'll know the results on the 22nd.

Okay, this has been a good day. Thank you for asking me about yesterday, but I guess I won't talk about it muna. Maybe in a few weeks, if I remember.hehe

***

So we had a long test in Psy a few hours past, and I think I had lots of guesswork again. It is not that hard though, so I still feel that I would pass(that's the worst case scenario) or maybe get a B+(best case scenario)?

***

Our first long test in Fil was returned na a while ago, and against all odds, I got 49/55! *happy* Considering how I barely passed the short quizzes, this news is certainly most welcome. I could not think of anything else to write(and I am researching about schizophrenia, so maybe I will just leave things here for today.

Maintaining this blog is just so stressful, in a sense that I have to think of titles and stuff, what to write, because this is some form of commitment that I could not affor to break unless I want a meltdown. So, if you are reading this blog(that's an IF), please find time to make your presence felt. It just feels good to know that some people are still listening to me, even though I mostly rant about stuff, they probably don't give a damn about.

Okay, not this time though, I am just so disappointed right now, I just want to hear jokes. Kahit corny. And the strangest thing, this is not about numbers again. I guess I still do not know how to deal with stuff like this.

Catharsis tells me to release my emotions, but I can't fully release them. No matter what I do, I just have to keep a little something bottled up inside. I guess that's what makes me a human.

The Nanny Theme Song

2006-05-09T15:25:00.000+08:00

She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens,
'Til her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes.
What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fanny...
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door.
She was there to sell make-up, but father saw more.
She had style! She had flair! She was there.
That's how she became the Nanny!
Who would have guessed that the girl we've described,
Was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?
Now the father finds her beguiling (watch out C.C.!).
And the kids are actually smiling (such joie de vivre!)
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan...
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran!

***

That's all for now, but wish me luck tomorrow on my second (and last) interview.

I was simply saying...

Don't you just love watching television? I know I do.

Here are some of my favorite television shows. You will come to find that I mostly like either situational comedies or ... situational comedies. I am not into sob stories that much. Anyway, here they are...

The double trouble of the twins at the Tipton appeals to me. I especially like the episode where they have to make a commercial for the Tipton and the twins' mother (Kim Rhodes) was the star.

need I say more? They are more than friends, but less than lovers.

I just love "WEEKEND NEWS UPDATE" with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and "CAROL" with Horatio Sanz. I think I loved the episode where Eva Longoria guested.

It's the future I can see! It's so mysterious to me! Did you just have a vision?

She's the lady in red, when everybody else is wearing tan, the flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran! I really laugh at the butler's(cannot recall the name) hirits at Ceecee.

Who wouldn't love these people? P is for Phoebe, H is for Hoebe, O is for Oebe, E is Ebe, B is for Be, and E is oh, dear me!

So you see, I am a couch potato who loves to laugh.

Let us try, using the skills we have acquired from reading lots more poems, to interpret this one. (Trivia: She is my favorite poet.)

***

A Dance Lesson
Naya Valdellon

Remember that the earth
moves under your feet
as you dance, turning
in a constant pirouette
even as you spin across the studio floor.
Bear this in mind
as you pivot on one toe:
the secret is to find
your center strength
to keep you from falling
as you turn around yourself.
And even as your leg
swings skyward into
a graceful arabesque,
keep one pointed toe
steady on the ground.
For you are a dancer,
and though your movements
mimic grace in flight,
you must always return
to touch this earth
that dances under your feet.

***

I am sure Cla and Joyce are wondering why I would include here a poem about dance when I am not a dancer (yes, I still haven't forgotten the LRT incident with Mheann.). I guess they wouldn't as much as bat an eyelash if the poem were about:

a. grades (I am grade-conscious)
b. food (love it)
c. theater (I'm so into it)
d. me (oh, yes. the freakishly self-centered me.)
e. them (but that's really really rare.)

But knowing Naya Valdellon, this is not just about the dance. There is more to it than that. And it will become a personal mission to uncover that. Sort of like overanalyzing the poem so that I would have something to write here. hehe. thanks to cla for the poem.

Last night(and countless other nights)...

Manong Trike (MT): San ka, 'toy?

Unstable Psycho (TONIO): Sa may gate ho ng Varsity Hills, diyan lang sa Alvero.

MT: Dyan ka sumakay, dun sa green na tricycle na may nakapulang drayberrrr.

TONIO looks up, and to his dismay, finds out that it would take the entire night to find out where he should go, because he is facing an entire street full of green tricycles, all with red shirt-wearing drivers.

'Nuff said.

***

Obviously, I found which trike I should ride into, so I could tell you something I noticed about lines in the fast food chain. Thus, this part of my entry is entitled

ANECDOTE FROM THE LINE IN THE FASTFOOD CHAIN

Whew! I made it to the shortest line. I only have less than 15 minutes or I'll be late for class! But, what's the commotion in front? That notoriously fat lady(who looks like she might eat someone) looks like she just ordered the entire stock of food from the restaurant. Uh-oh! Unfortunately for me, the service here is slow. Like, it takes five whole minutes for the something-lady to fill a glass of softdrink. What's the deal with that? And that lady over there ordered more than ten glasses! Uh-oh, it might take me the entire day here. better transfer to another lane. Ooh, that one's short.

and so I wait

...

...

...

And out the door I went, with no food in my hend(it's hand, but I typed like that for the eye rhyme. remember?)

THE END.

Oh, just one question. How come no one's tagging?

It is a very busy summer for me, while two people I know(they know who they are) are probably bumming around. Well, not exactly. One is earning money and the other is, well, bumming around while driving.

***

Okay, we have received our test scores in the Psychology Long Test and *fanfare* I got an A! Well, 16 people in the class got A's, and some even exceeded the perfect score of 58 (bonus points), but still I am LAST but not LEAST! I got 55, actually it is 52, but bonus points!!! It is around 95%. Yeahoo! Could this be the first step to that finals exemption?!?

***

I hope I get to be a TNT so I could see Carmina and her friends even before school starts.

***

Okay, so we were discussing development in Psy class, and we were having a private joke about the children featured in the lesson. I mean, they were being made to look stupid! What's up with that? But, maybe, just maybe, when we were kids, a group of college students also laughed at us for being in the preoperational stage?

***

Phineas T Gage used to be a calm, rational, intelligent and organized person until one day, an accident caused a heavy iron rod to be stuck up his brain. As in tagos, and that has got to hurt. Well, he did survive, but he is no longer calm, rational and yadda yadda. he became irritable, unstable and clumsy. A total klutz! So, Cla, maybe if you get a rod stuck in your head, maybe it would be beneficial to all of us, your adoring public? Just kidding.

***

Do you know why you always act like your parents when you grow up even after promising that you wouldn't?

Because, really, after all is said and done, we admire them! awwwww...

THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY. (SO READ MY PREVIOUS POST TOO!)

***

We had our first ever long test in Psychology a few hours ago. What a drag. I already missed two questions and the rest were a bunch of spooky guessworks and unproven hypotheses (read: hula) due to spending the weekend studying the television and reading the bed with my eyes closed. I just need 42/60 to pass. Please make me pass. Pretty pretty please, vanilla-flavored with cherry on top.

***

Tomorrow, I just might tell you what my score is. (...)

On a happier note, I am pleased to announce that I made the cut! I passed the first interview for the TNT-ship in Viaje 2006. All those precious seconds are un-wasted and my dignity is once again, chanting "Reparo."

Let us all pray that I pass the second interview, that I get at least a B in that drat Psychology exam(42/60 is a D, I forgot to say.) and that the world be a peaceful place to live in, and that Romi Garduce makes it to the pinnacle of the world. Amen.

last Saturday, I chanced upon watching the movie "Ron Burgundy: Anchorman" on HBO. (Have you heard of that?). It was so funny, I recommend that you watch it too. It stars Will Ferrell (as Burgundy) and Christina Applegate(from Sweet Charity?) as Veronica Corningstone. Really, it's funny. Many funny actors made cameos like Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. And to complete my advertisement of some movie that has left moviehouses in America a few years ago, this movie also stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell (from the 40-Year-Old Virgin? I'm pretty sure you've heard of that one.)

Okay. It's nowhere near the word organized, but this is not a perfect world (or blog.)

***

I love Psychology! (music: something fanfare-y)
I am learning a lot of things and I even understand (or, the teacher understands, for that matter) why some students fall asleep in class. I guess that is just one of the risks of teaching the subject, students use the lessons as excuses for their less than ideal behaviour in class. Of course, when a student says that the longer the lecture, the greater the tendency to sleep, that's something bad on the teacher's part, right? Are you still with me?

***

We had a great Filipino class too! Well, not bad a quiz, but the teacher's stories were just hilarious. Oh, and the riddles too. Sometimes, it is hard to believe that Filipino teachers are terror teachers. Or gay. Of my three Filipino teachers in Ateneo, only one is gay. And they don't give many F's. Hooray Filipino Dept!

We sre currently reading this epic for Filipino 14, it is called Hudhud ni Aliguyon. I don't know whether to laugh at the epic, it's so unnatural. But Sir de Guzman said that the Ifugaos didn't care much for reality when they made (can't say wrote) the epic. Am I right?

So far, nothing exciting has happened yet in school or at home. Unless you count that very fun TnT interview. Cla and Joyce, I will tell you about it when we meet again. It just so..... hard to say it here. You might not want to talk at me anymore if I do. But it was fun, that's for sure. And I do hope that I get accepted.

***

Last Thursday, Pauline went to Gateway with plans of eating and watching a movie. However, she first had to buy a tape measure because she has to measure a barong for her brother. So we went there and looked for a store that sells tape measure. Half an hour later, nothing. So we went to Farmer's Plaza where the good saleslady told us to look for it in the first floor, and the staff there told us to go back to the third floor, where we came from. (Come on, do you know what we are talking about? It is called a tape measure.) So we just decided to go back to gateway because we are already suicidal(feet hurt) but Pauline decided to make a last stop to SM Cubao. After the long walk, we went to the third floor and we went to the other end of the third floor, where the staff told us to go back to the end where we came from(huh) and there is was, on a glass case, small and insignificant and worth P16.75. Moral of the story: USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. We were looking for the tape meausre in the linen section (you know, where they sell bedspreads) and the hardware section.

I got my ID today. Yay, now a sophomore. My high school friend Julie, in her blog, said that she like the word sophomore because it has none of the ignorance (or is it innocence?) of the freshmen, none of the pressure of junior year, and none of the great demands of senior year. Well, I like the term sophomore too. My reasons are the same as above yadd yadda yadda, but more so because it is the most complicated-sounding. Duh, freshmen? sounds like fresh milk. Juniors and Seniors? SOPHOMORE SOUND GOOOOOOOOD!

***

I am starting to like my subjects. Do you know that I am actually a person who is cool and decisive under pressure? It is way better than Sunshine (pessimist) and Leinard (just a practical optimist) but not as great as Gela (fearless). Now, I know I'm human.

***

I actually have nothing to write, so I'll just babble on. Babbling is actually my way of expressing emotions, because research says that when people express their emotion, they tend to release it more easily than people who bottle theirs inside. Something called CATHARSIS. Wow, great is the power of Psy 101.

***

Happy ( really, I am)

and now one for me...

2006-04-24T10:37:00.000+08:00

One decent post that is.

***

Cla said that I haven't had a decent post in like, forever. Who can blame me? I rarely go online at home because the temptation to go watch the television is so overwhelming. It's like, pleading already, and do I have the heart to ignore this whining? No. So there.

***

Now, where have I left out. Okay, It was practically, a happy day during grade distribution. My lowest grade is a B in english(sad.) and I have to A's (in Physics Lab and PE), while the rest are B+ (yep. even Physics Lecture and Math.) All in all, a 3.44 QPI and a spot in the Dean's List. (from 3.16 in the first sem to 3.44) It is hard work. Clap. clap. clap.

***

Registration day was hell. (of course, cla and joyce wouldn't know that, because they are spared from this hellish summer class. Yeah, i can hear you mocking me! Big DEAL!) I had to wait for an hour and a half because of that stupid random number and then wait another half an hour at the cashier! @#$%^&! So, it all comes down to afternoon classes. From 12pm to 1.30(Psy 101) and 1.30 to 3(Fil 14). I don't mind psychology that much. Lei and Shine and Angela are classmates. But Fil! Damnation! I know nobody! And they know each other! And the classroom has an ambiance that could make me sleep! Once again, @#$%^&!

***

I don't know whether I like vacationing though. Do you know that deviating yourself from the daily routine of school and work could cause stress because our brain is well adapted to routine already? See, I'm already learning in Psy class.

***

I am already a sophomore, but everything still looks the same. Maybe when the ID's come out, it will be a bit more different.

***

Now, is this post decent or what?

To sum it up...

2006-04-18T14:06:00.000+08:00

En 12 - B
Fil 12 - B+
Ma 12 - B+
Lit 14 - B+
Physics, Lec - B+
Physics, Lab - A
PE 101 - A

QPI: 3.44

I made it to the Dean's List!

Do not laugh/mock/insult my work(?). It is done in MS Paint.(what a loser)

***

It's almost two weeks to end of vacay. I went to AdMU yesterday to get my third individual paper and final group paper for Fil. Was good, got an A in third paper, but not perfect, because got C+ for the group paper.

***

Cla, marami kang kwento di ba? Fire away!

***

Must. Watch. RENT.

***

This is my 50th post(fanfare).

***

I am going back to Batangas tomorrow! Woohoo!

***

This vacation is not turning out the way I imagined it to be. TOO SHORT!

***

In case you have not heard, I still miss R07. But I'll get over it. I hope.

Back!

2006-04-02T09:08:00.000+08:00

I am back...hehe...

***

It was my brother's graduation yesterday.

Hehe...

I miss R07. I love you guys.

***

Miss Cla and Joyce too.

I'm a sophomore already!

2006-03-24T14:37:00.000+08:00

Yes, ladies and gentleman, I am now, unofficially, a college sophomore.

***

Oh, by the way, random numbers have been released already. Mine is

..1767..

Is there are conspiracy between AdMU and my adversaries(do I have any?)? I always get loser random numbers.

***

With this random number(and luck), I could only hope that I don't get that pathetic T-Th Psy 101 class which has a length of five hours(swear, two hours into that kind of lecture and I'll be killing myself(or eating my seatmate) out of hunger and boredom.

***

Pray for me...

***

I miss R07.

This one's for you R07

2006-03-24T00:15:00.000+08:00

I am not a poet, so don't expect a poem. hehe.

***

Today is one of the best days of my freshman year (and life) and I spent it with a select group of young people, namely English block R07. It was our long-overdue class theatrical production, which Peter and I co-directed. Peter's play is entitled Hard Candy, about a series of job interviews that are seriously funny (my god, how oxymoronic).(so so funny, btw... *claps*) It is a clash of a multitude of personalities, which results in, what else, the famous line "you're hired." My play is entitled The Pretentious Young Ladies, about the revenge of two angry lovers on two excessive dreamers. Everything else pretends to be something that it is not.

***

The play was performed, as Elise said, with 75% adlib. Nevertheless, it went "awful"-ly fine! hehe. Would we able to get an A if it didn't? I was really flattered when Missy told me, "Jose, mag-T.A. ka na!" Awwww...so...Hmmmmmm.... hehe

***

You rock, R07. Ms. Quong, Missy Maramara- you are the best.

***

I will miss you guys.

***

But we'll still see each other right?

***

Now to work on that Fil paper...

Just for kicks...

2006-03-23T08:09:00.000+08:00

I am gonna share with you this poem. It was used in our lit finals. We were supposed to make a formalist reading. Can you?

2006-03-21T19:04:00.000+08:00

this is heaven. is it yours? it's certainly mine.

Because-I-slacked-off-because-of-my-apparent-exemption-in-physics...

2006-03-21T16:07:00.000+08:00

I got a so-so score. Thank God for risk-free exams, right?

***

Well, anyway, I hardly opened up my notebook last night to study for Physics because, well, I knew that even though I perfected the exam, I am still points away from getting an A. So I just slept. This morning, Sunshine persuaded me to take the exam because it is risk-free. I've got nothing to lose. So I did, albeit ONLY half an hour of studying at the library with Amor(I usually spend entire weekends studying for Physics). What a pathetic student.

Anyway, after an hour of brain torture that is Physics exam, I have decided that I had enough. It's futile to stay another hour(Finals last two hours) to rack my brains for something that just isn't there. So I passed my paper and got nothing to show for it. Heehee. I got the results fairly quickly, 35/50 = 70% = C+ = a totally-hurting-my-grade-if-it-was-not-risk-free score.

Que sera sera.

***

Lit finals tomorrow, class play on thursday(God, please help us with this one), group paper on friday. Then it's OVER and OUT, freshman year.

Can I Brag?

2006-03-20T17:18:00.000+08:00

Sure. It IS your blog.

***

Okay.
88.15 = B+ = Physics Finals Exams Exemption. Done.

***

Okay, I hate to burst your bubble, you egotistic loser, but your Math exam sucked.

***

Oh, damn I have to remember that.

***

Fix yourself, you moron.

***

Then I'll fix you as well.

This is it.

2006-03-18T12:32:00.000+08:00

Missy has cried.

***

Ms. Quong already gave her speech.

***

Sir Jamendang has delivered his speech.

***

Sir Maquiling released pre-final grades and bid adieu.

***

Ms. Macabebe has already said goodbye.

***

Ms. Chua-Tabares, Mrs. Reyes, and Mr. Tabares congratulated Michelle for being exempted and returned the last long exam.

***

So this is it.

***

Is it?

***

Just a few more days, and it is vacation time for moi. (Before summer classes begin, that is.)

***

I now say goodbye to freshman year. It has been hard, it has been long, BUT it has been fun as well.

***

A future begins.

And so it goes...

2006-03-17T16:26:00.000+08:00

Math was a jolly-good 100. Not a big deal, though, because it was, technically, not a long test, and I compared answers with my blockmates. I aim for a B+ in Math this sem and I think it is not a bad deal.
***
We passed our English anthology a while ago. Actually, it was only Cla who passed it. So sorry clackers, this has been a crazy day.
***
Guess I spoke too soon. Physics exemption is not to happen. Sayang. I was points away. At least it is not that bad.
***
Class play, woe. You are the biggest deal right now. You are my biggest problem. But you are my passion, and that is enough.
***
Missy cried today. Oh gosh, it has been really really fast. I'm about to say goodbye to the bunch of people who became my company for a year. Those faces I see every morning, those people who I have learned to cherish. My course blockmates often wonder how we became so bonded, R07. I don't know, but I don't care. What matters is that we are bonded.
***
I am already choking, struggling to breathe, but I know I'll survive.
***
Will I ever see Batangas again?
***
It's almost the end. I am no longer the timid, shy freshman who was late for his first English class and almost became late for the last.
***
It is time to go home.
***
And so it goes...

I wish I was a fourth year student all over again. Then by this, time, I would be happily be lying in bed, thinking about graduation, not minding what the time is.

Anyway, congrats carmina! Your, 1st honorable mention... Very good JOB! Nice! Woohoo! do you know na ba you're place for next year? in AdMU of course! *wink*

Thank you so much to plus points and my slightly delirious mind for raising the grade in Physics from C+(72/100) to B+(88/100). Deedle-dee-doo.

Jill, CONGRATS! She's BlueRep's new company manager.

Got to go in a few. Play rehearsal's waitin'.

...we had just finished the final exams and successfully defended our thesis paper from the "monsters" - panelists, aryt?

***

...I was generally going to school to visit my teachers and mock my classmates who have not yet defended their theses(bad), besides helping them out(good).

***

I was snooping for exam scores, where I discovered that I got a line of nine grade in Filipino(what?) AND perfected my Physics final exams(project defense)(double WHAT?)

***

I was waiting for graduation (by this time, I was already sure that I could graduate), and for the list of Top 10 students.

***

I was bumming around the house, enjoying the semi-cool summer weather. (We live in a place of high altitude(read: taga - BUNDOK! haha, just kidding...)

***

I was computing my grades(huh?)

I was attending to yearbook concerns because I was Editor-in-Chief(reader swept away by strong gust of wind brought about by author's conceit)...you know, editing the write-ups, finalizing the layout, yadda yadda...

Power of Reflection

2006-03-06T20:12:00.000+08:00

We've been doing reflection papers in english and Filipino classes recently, and until recently, I have never genuinely realized the importance of reflection in the life of people.

***

I was always a rational person (read: non emotional). I never liked discussing topics like friends, family and things that I think are too "cheesy" for me. Cla and I argued about it once, when we were discussing which paper was better to write : the ARP or the Reflection Paper. I, of course, was on the side of the ARP, Cla is on the opposition. She reasons that it will be easier to reflect than think because in the former, one only has to go deep and read what the heart has to say.

***

I like talking about grades. That's why I've branded grade-conscious. I didn't care at first, because I like what I do. However, I soon realized that although my grades are a part of me, they only comprise 10% of me, the 10% of the brain that is conscious. Reflection, on the other hand, brings out the 90% submerged part, the one I didn't think I'd be able to reveal to others. Funny how you can easily find the right words when you use your heart to write!

***

I don't know what else to say.

***

I'm staring at a blank wall right now. If i could paint it, what would I paint? Or would I even try to paint?

***

Pauline is looking at me while I write this post. Should I strangle her to death? (j.k.)

***

Can I join Entablado? hehe

***

Will I survive the last few weeks of freshman year?

***

Let's find out.

***

Now that I come to think of it, I have done a fair amount of reflecting here.

***

Now you know what I really say and mean.

On Math, BlueREP, RO7 and lots more random stuff that you probably don't give a damn about

2006-03-04T13:55:00.000+08:00

I love/hate my Math teacher. Huh?
...
...
When I was in high school, I super loved math because, well, I didn't know any better. Now, I don't know whether I could like Math ever again. Oh well, things change right? But Math, oh darn, the changer I could make are those that slide all the way down....

***

I FOH-ed for BlueRep's opening night last Thursday. It was fun, and we got to watch the show for free. Guys, you will be missing half of your life if you don't watch Sweet Charity.

***

I heard that Missy's other class will have fees in their class play. Oh no *panic mode* Guys help! This will be such a mammoth endeavor. Problem is, the gravity is so strong that I couldn't lift the mammoth by myself.

***

I slept at 3am because we were at Eastwood last night. We caught the last full show of Memoirs. Just saying. You have to watch that movie.

***

In our Filipino class, we were taught how to see things beyond what they seem to be, but not too much. Sometimes, there is a tendency to juxtapose things with meanings that are so uncalled for and may just seem O.A. to the audience. It is not good, mainly because very little details are often taken for granted so, evaluating even them will just make the evaluator look nagmamarunong, or, even worse, just stupid. We call that "over-analysis." A perfect way to cover up for lack of knowledge. Again, just saying.

***

Cla, pwede ba mag-ACIL?

***

I wish the sky were a little easier to reach and the stars a bit lower so I could grasp them.

***

Just saying.

because I really have nothing to do...

2006-02-27T11:41:00.000+08:00

...I am writing this entry. But come to think of it, why have I nothing to do? What am I thinking, doing this blog instead of attending classes? It's almost noon, a Monday noon, which means I most definitely have to be in the cov courts for PE class. You might answer, matter-of-factly, no classes you dimwit!

***

But why?

***

Now that we think of it, there are no classes because of, well, the "volatile political situation in the country today." (Thanks bluerep.)

***

Wow, last friday, I just woke up to find that the country is already in a worse state than normal. Literally. Like last night, I still watched Enta's Maiba...Taya! (good play, by the way) and went to bed with vague plans of telling the blockmates about the play and announcing the cast for the class play and preparing for Sweet Charity's opening night when...Ba-da-booM! Like magic, no classes. Panira ng planner, nagkagulo-gulo tuloy ang plans ko for the day.

***

there are upsides, of course, like getting to hang out with Pauline and Drea.

***

but, hello, could you be a little less apathetic? the country's political situation is "volatile"(thanks Bluerep.)already! just like HCl and uhmmm, okay, couldn't think of anything more.

***

but you get the point, don't you?

***

Haaay, why now, when I'm almost a sophomore.

***

Shall we all clasp our palms in prayer?

***

I think we should.

I do not know what to write, so I'll just blab about my day. If you really really care for me (or just plain bored as well), then you will take the time to read this tidbits of useless information that, well, might be useful after all. (Huh?)

***

In our English blog (querenciar07.blogspot.com), you can find many, many ways of expressing thoughts. Of course, this is mainly, due to the fact that thirty five people write in it, and none of them share styles in writing, well, not very obvious, at the very least. I like to visit my English blog(yak, parang Grade 1 ang nagsusulat) because it serves as alifeline among me and mey blockmates, a connection where you would think there is none(naks).

***

Whenever i go online, I visit these two blogs first: Cla's Xanga and Joyce's LJ. Yes, even before I see if anyone on this planet tagged on my blog. Even before I check my mail and visit other blogs. Even before I do my research. I don't even know why, but when I'm not with them, their blogs talk to me. (naks ulit) See, I can hear them ramble, talk about that disgruntling Math exam, comment on a movie they watched, advertise(speaking of which, see my next post Commercial). I don't know if they do that too, but at least i'm sure that they still read my blog. Right?

***

I got B in the essay and B+ in the exercise in English. Not bad, but I feel I could have done better. See what procrastination has reduced me to.

***

About English, I feel that i could have done better because well, it's a reflection paper! Did that B mean that I wasn't able to express myself that well. And I thought that I extroverted. DJ told me, "Dapat kasi kina-career mo..." Next time, I promise I would.

***

Physics project was excruciating. I love it.

***

Math is "sticky," according to our teacher. I love it.

***

The class play must be attended to, immediately. Even though I have lot's of things to do. I love it.

***

Why love something usually hated? Because if you learn to love it, it will love you back.

***

Readers of this blog, thank you for listening to me. You've been really patient. You are the best people i've met, even though we have not met yet.

***

PhySUCKS, I've said it before. I take it back. Sorry.

Do I sound serious? I do. Wow. Yay. Woohoo.

Almost summer

2006-02-16T17:19:00.000+08:00

It is almost (as in...) summer, and I just couldn't wait, but as they say, no pain, no gain! So, here are some of the few(!) things I have to attend to before I begin to enjoy my short and sweet three-week vacay(we have summer classes...damn Fil 14 and Psy 101)...

- class play (directing it can really make someone go crazy, especially when you are competing against time)
- fil group paper
- physics circuit diagram (reminds me of fourth year electricity torture)
- PE lecture (boooooooooorrrrrrrrrring)
- english reflection papers (ARPs and now this?)
- math (everything about it)
- Finals

so you see, my life is not hollow nor simple. I wish I could confide in you more, blog, but really, I have to go finish that abstract for Lab. Actually, many things come to mind under the category of "should be done." Under the list of "actually done," hmmm, I think very (1000x) few pop.

Geez, why is everything sooooo hard in college?

btw, carmina, welcome to my world...bear with my entries, they're more of ramblings than organized thoughts....

haha

summer's so near.

but it just seems so far.

Math woes

2006-02-14T17:14:00.000+08:00

Just wanna say, I am not happy with my score in math... because of my innate knack for carelessness, my score was 75, a C+. Actually, that was not that bad a news, but still, the "What if" will always haunt me in dreams. Good thing friends are there for you.

Never mind what I said.

Somnambulist (and some other random thoughts)

Heyheyhey! Do you know what the title means? A few days ago, neither did I. That's why I chose it as my title for this entry. I read this word first just last week, in a candidate profile manual for the Sanggu Elections. "Huh?! Anong ibig sabihin nito?" I was frowning already because, well, it was a word I only encountered that time. My hypothesis was that it has a very difficult meaning, something I will not easily understand. So I asked and asked until one day, I just blurted it out and jokingly asked what it means..."sleepwalker and sleeptalker," my classmate said. Huh?! Such simplicity, and I only learned it that day. So my fellow classmates and friends I turned from a 10 987 word-wise person to 10 988 word-wise person. Figures invented. But the sure thing is, I am one word wiser but still not even close to one-fourth of being dictionary-wise. Not a good material for a career in lexicography. What I am trying to say is that even though I already know has brought me this far, I still have to learn more than double the amount of what I already know. So if I already know x things, and my goal for optimum success in life is y, and y - x > 2x, then I still have to learn lots more stuff. And if you arrange those things in a pie chart, then...oh wait, I am talking out of topic, wasn't I? Haha...anyway, the bottomline is I still have a lot to learn, just like everybody else. In Bob Ong's latest book, there is an excerpt about his high school classmates which goes similarly(if not exactly) like this:

Hindi na halata kung sino sa amin ang takot mag-recite, kung sino ang bobo sa Math, kung sino ang mga ... marami na kaming alam at marami na rin kaming natutunan. Pero alam mo kung ano pa ang nalaman namin?

Na napakarami pa rin naming dapat matutunan.

I hope that we would not be somnambulists and just sleep walk and sleep talk through life's lessons. That would be the first step to a lot of "What if?"s...

Gosh, Missy's other class already have organized the details of their class play. Hope to start this BIG endeavor before I can't. :)

Tomorrow is Valentines day, and I think I have mentioned this before, but aside from V-Day, it is also S.A.D, or Singles' Awareness Day. This year February 13 to 19 is S.A.W, or Singles' Awareness Week. Enjoy, everyone!

Do you know that Naya Valdellon is such a great poet that she is already adored by the class even though we haven't met her yet? Just saying...

***

In Bob Ong's book, there was someone quoted,

"Parenthetical expressions (however relevant) are unnecessary." Talk about making a point.

PhySUCKS, that's old news, but Math? That's even older! (Corny)

Okay, I have to stop this na, because I am starting to crack jokes, and trust me, that's not the best sign.

Thanks R07, I really had fun times with you guys. (Awwwwww....)

Revisited

2006-02-08T13:45:00.000+08:00

Ahhh, it feels good to update this blog again. Yes, some people are already nagging me...or shall I say, yelling at me, but of course, that's because I am missed...(wow, kapal!) Anyhow, I attempted to update this one last Saturday, but Blogger seems sick so I watched TV and did my Filipino paper. So maybe a quick recap on how I have been this past few days...

Thursday, I watched Romeo and Juliet with Cla and Joycee and Bea and DJ and, uhmmm...uhmmm...oh well, I guess that's all of us! The play was not mediocre, but not excellent...It, however, is definitely unique... as in there is nothing I watched that I expected. It is fun to watch and definitely not boring, but some actors have not entirely emphasized their presence on stage. My favorite characters in particular were Juliet(wow!), Lady Capulet, Nurse, Peter, Lord Capulet and Mercutio.

Friday, nothing much happened because I went home early and ate lunch at Max's...

Saturday, I missed the staging of MCHS's Taming of the Shrew...Heard it was good, though...Missy directed it...

Sunday, church, home, TV, sleep.

Monday, Darn, can't remember a thing...wait...oh! No classes! hahaha...Cla called up and disturbed my moment of solitude however, so that someone can listen to her stories while waiting for her mom. I liked the eating part at Shakey's but Cla's kwentos were not that bad either...hehe...

Tuesday, Math...quiz, darn...

Today...good in general, because I got C+ in Physics LT2...we received it today...why good? because i was the highest! Yippee! Not a good news, however because 3/4 of the class failed the exam...I wish we will do well on LT3...

Gosh, I guess that's it for today...maybe I can update this blog some other time...
