act before it's too late

yep. this is something i have got to learn to realize. otherwise, my life is screwed. everything i'm doing now with school and with my life is all for nothing. change before it's too late. if you're going to fail, fail knowing that you did your best. DAMN IT JULIAN, DO IT. T_T

school's been tough. i'm so tired right now. i feel so harassed and stressed out. and to think it's just the start of the school year. i'm really looking forward to changing seats, so that i could start fresh, and hopefully be more at peace in my seat. the seating arrangement now is just too hostile (be it fun), and too hard to cope with. pile that up with tons of homework and people scrambling to copy notes and homeworks, and you've got yourself a hellacious-sized headache.

i don't get it. why must the teachers give us so much homework over the weekend? i mean, it would be fair if they didn't give us any homework during the week, but in our current situation, that isn't the case at all. they're giving us tons of homework to accomplish during the only time that we supposedly could, and should be resting. our rest time is being replaced by the same, boring homeworks. if i were them, i'd lessen the workload. we've got the 60 minute periods already, for crying out loud. make us accomplish everything during that time. after all, why dismiss us late? isn't it because they want us to do more in school? and now, it seems that they're giving us more homeworks than ever before. i see this as unfair.

miss vicky's become an angel all of a sudden. i'm not sure why this happened, but according to my ex-classmates, it's because of the period-long discussion between section b and miss. it seems that she's adhered to our demands, and finally adjusted her system to the zobel way of teaching. everything seems to be coming easy now, and nothing is stressed anymore. we're learning from her, finally. it's a miracle in a way. i never thought it could actually happen. thank God. we've actually been able to crack jokes and do all sorts of things during algebra period. just a while ago, laughs were plenty when mondelo changed his name to julius. haha. and then people suddenly became rowdy and sang and danced to "first day funk", which was utterly funny. it's great really, what words and a little patience can do to a person. in the other side of the spectrum, we'll see miss etch tomorrow. i'm really not sure if what we saw last week was actually what we saw, or just a major *ehem*. (diba rodney?) haha. i'm really annoyed with her style of teaching, if you could call it teaching. plus the rule on the other websites is crap. no one ever really follows the rule, and it seems that she isn't actually doing anything to punish us. (unless she has the ultimate recording system, which i doubt she has) anyway, hopefully tomorrow's session isn't as boring as the previous ones. but as my pessimistic mind would want to say, dream on.

lsyc application forms were handed out this morning. yehey. hopefully i'll be a part of the organization. i miss my ex-classmates. joining lsyc would fulfill many of my high school goals. seriously. oh, hope you join :D will there be an honors' convocation this year? i'm crossing my fingers. i hope there is one. it's not that encouraging to me that the year i finally realize one of my life's goals is the year they don't hold the awarding ceremonies. haha. anyway, yeah.

my latest addiction has been "pimp my ride" in mtv. i'm crazy about cars. not about xzibit though. lol. i've downloaded 5 episodes, and it's keeping my feelings upbeat. thank God for the technology of file sharing.

as for the current problem in politics, i've said that there are more problems in this country that we have to worry about. it's not all about a cheating president and jueteng trials. that's just a part of a whole country quickly decimating itself to bits. we've got to act. and we've got to act responsibly. think before you act. if we remove gma from power, then who will replace her? it's not that easy. the masses love characters such as the wife of fpj, or even erap. that's not the solution. i think it's best that we stick with our current president, and for her to do her job. after all, the issue happened a year ago. what's past is past. we've got to worry about what's happening NOW.

excited na ako for next month. whee. sana walang mga deadly projects na makakasagabal sa plans natin. *crosses fingers once again*

fulfill your dreams.

after another whole week's worth of schoolwork, i can finally rest..a bit.

some unforgettable events. the english monologue was okay, as i got to heal before i did it. unfortunately, i think i panicked while performing and skipped 2 paragraphs of my speech. thankfully, i recovered. oh, and according to sir "i moved too much on stage". well, as bad as that may seem, that's a good step for me. dati kasi parang bato lang ako sa stage eh. odiba. at least ngayon gumagalaw na, be it too drastic. for my effort, i got an 8.2/10. not as good as my other classmates, but good enough for me. i'm not really that type of person anyway. success! we had computer class last thursday. i must say, even if it was boring as hell, we had a bit of fun. you see, miss ech was wearing err..something revealing underneath. basta. sayang paolo didn't take a photograph of her while she was walking. ergh. that was a picture to remember for a long time though. T_T a bit disturbing, but funny nevertheless. our last period with miss algebra for the week was anything but good. she sermoned the so-called "magic 7", which includes almost everyone surrounding me except me and misty. haha. well, she was angry at the whole class i think, reaching her boiling point when she asked kenneth what his name was and ken needing to look at his name patch to figure it out. laftrip actually. grr. i'm beginning to hate math because of her. she dares us to report her and get rid of her. someone might just do that. we had music class yesterday. as usual, me and alvin went to the violin room to be taught by miss ruby. it was however, our first glimpse at sir melvin. hahaha. according to humphrey, mabait naman raw. even if he had that weird name. lol. TOM 2 pa rin! i can't wait for the first orchestra club meeting. i wonder how he'll handle it. club promo's in a week, i think. i'm excited to see soph-c perform! a sort of get-together. it'd be nice to see them perform togther again. i miss soph-c talaga.

we had a talk about studying abroad yesterday. this guy that studied in zobel before has a job in the united states now. he's amazing. i hope to be like him in the future, with the good job at such a young age and all. he fulfilled most of his goals before turning 25. that's what i call determination. i wish i could also do that.

he asked me to have this put up so here it goes. a special mention goes to paolo mondelo for his comedic acts in school and err..yun lang. i remember when i saw you last year in the sophomore night. haha. laftrip. that took guts though. oh, thanks for all the hirits in class, that makes the lessons less boring, though more noisy. hindi ko pa rin nakakalimutan yung hirit mo about pontious pilate and of course, your monologue, with the plastic straw and fork. haha. ayan, happy? =))

congratulations to all the medalists last year. lalo na yung ibang swineep halos lahat ng medals sa batch nila. =)) grabe. i'm happy i got what i aimed for a long time ago. i finally proved to my parents that i could be like them, and achieve something i thought was impossible 5 years ago. i'm thankful that i was able to get what i wanted, through hard work and perseverance. i've fulfilled one of my life's goals. even though yeah, highschool has just started, and grades aren't everything, and the real life is still to come, at least, for this moment, i am happy. of course, this doesn't prove anything yet. like the speaker yesterday said, you could be at the bottom of the barrel in hs and still make it big. this is not over, and i must continue. thank you Lord.


we went to town last night to watch batman. i saw johann along the way, and reprimanded him in behalf of the group. kasi naman eh. tsk tsk. anyway, after eating at pancake house for dinner, we did watch batman. it was funny when the sounds suddenly vanished and they had to stop screening for at least 10 minutes to fix the movie. ang daming humirit eh. haha. katie holmes talaga ako forever. i don't know why i liked/like her. ewan. dati i used to tell *ehem* that she looked like katie holmes. ahaha. maybe that's the reason. anyway, batman was okay. it had great special effects, just as gliza and mariel said. it's just like those star wars movies, that when you start from the beginning and continue on to batman returns and batman forever, you'd find yourself discontented at the latter movies because of poorer quality. hahaha.

dreaming about making a chocolate shake isn't good, is it? lol. the dream was cool though, kasi kahit mukhang tae yung shake, masarap daw according to my parents. i've got star wars icons! woohoo! i'm tempted to go to livejournal because of them. ang saya. omg i just saw the "ba barbarians ba ba barbarians" thing in disney channel for the first time. yehey. i'm content now. =))

happy birthday classmate bea! whoo. hope you have a great year ahead. :D

school school school work.

the past week's been full of school work. it's just been 3 weeks into school and already i'm sick and i find myself struggling to think clearly. it's been hectic, that's for sure. tasks are piling up and little to no rest breaks are offered. then again, there is less pressure in the normal class than there was in the hac before. our algebra teacher certainly isn't making life easy and happy for us.argh. i absolutely despise her. it's been hell everytime we see her. T_T. just the thought of seeing her again tomorrow makes me sick. ack. anyway.

so far i've been performing okay in everything school-related. well, except for that ap mural, which i believe i didn't really focus on. anyway. everything's going a-okay, and i find myself more comfortable in acting and presenting in my section now than in my previous classes. i don't know, maybe it's because i'm not that close with the people in the class. if they laugh and make fun of me, i'm not that affected. it's actually great, in a way. hahaha. i'll be performing first tomorrow in english. i just hope i perform my monologue to the best of my capabilities (and by best, i mean passing) haha.

i've been sick ever since the weekend started. i've been suffering from colds, cough, and fever. it's getting better though. thankfully the Lord healed me just in time for my english op. yehey. it's been tough though, since the last 2 days have had the most bulk of homework put on us. it was a challenging and unique experience i had last sunday, when i had to do all sorts of homework while trying to stay awake and avoid resting. i ended up finishing my homework at 10 pm, using up 11 hours to accomplish all the tasks needed. whoo.

my former classmates came over to my house last saturday, (jam's birthday =)) ) anyway, yeah. so they came early in the morning and left at around 10 pm. the funny thing is, rodney wans't able to go with the rest of my friends. but amazingly, he still came, alone, with his dad. ang galing. hahaha. i'm still shocked that his dad actually agreed to drive him all the way here. anyway, we played table tennis, basketball, billiards, the ps2, we swam, watched movies, and ate. oh, and let's not forget the "ULTIMATE" bonding session we had late at night. to dom and the others who didn't come that should've, sayang. haha. you missed out on a lot. we made fun of star wars VI: return of the jedi and laughed at the difference of yoda in the first 3 movies and the last 3 =)) oh, let's not forget what FRANCIS was excitedly waiting for (background: he didn't watch the 1st 3 movies) he wanted to see the slave girl outfit of princess leia =)) wahahaha. ang galing mo talaga. anyway, so we rewinded played, rewinded, played until we finally succumbed to the call of lunch being ready. ah oo nga pala, i forgot. the MAIN purpose of showing them episode VI was to show them hayden at the end! ang galing kasi eh. diba diba? lol. the star wars 4 disc collection is so great. hahaha. anyway, back to the story. i slowly became sick though, and after playing 3 hours of continous basketball, i became totally sick and rested a while in my parents' room, watching tv and trying to get rid of my colds while my friends got to swim and play with the "mini-boat" and paddles (which they destroyed raw =)) ) ack. haha. the day was fun even though i was sick all throughout it, and almost everyone got sick afterwards. diba johann? =))

--enter sports-addict stuff--
it is a weird week in sports. robert horry showed his clutch-time heroics once again T_T, much to my dismay. why does he always have to destroy the teams i'm rooting for? argh. tiger woods nearly won the u.s. championship, and amazingly, his + 2 score got him 2nd place in the tournament. imagine an even par as a winning score. whoa. but the most amazing fact of all is what happened in formula 1 this past weekend in the united states. only 6 CARS raced! all the michelin-powered teams didn't take part in the race because of safety issues. crap. because of that, ferrari got all their needed points and are now back in the championship race. ang daya talaga. nakakainis. argh. oh, and formula 1 is going to suffer because of that, i am sure. their u.s. fanbase, which is already weak, is surely going to dwindle a whole lot more. haay. lol
--end sports stuff--

oh, let's all pray for the soul of jaime cardinal sin. i heard he died today. he was a good man. he will be greatly missed.

ugh.

francis kasi ehh. haha. i spent most of the afternoon daydreaming and drifting off to space while in class. i didn't really understand anything sir alfonso said in economics, even though the topic was supposed to be interesting. everything seemed dead, and i couldn't think well. some of my classmates noticed that i was all quiet and still that time, and i couldn't tell them why. it was as if the world had fallen on me and i couldn't move. ah well.

i had a better time after school. definitely. at first i told francis some things that even my own self couldn't believe. after talking with leiron for a while and meeting some people, we wandered around the school grounds just waiting to be picked up. it was at that point that i was relived i was actually going to be able to go to town and probably and possibly forget what had happened the past 3 hours. my mom arrived in school and we were getting ready to go. but thanks to the "powers" of isaw and allie's magical glass thingy =)), i stayed in school. i ended up being left by my mom and brother while i waited for my sister to finish her volleyball practice. so there, i got to talk to jackie, kyle, vicky, den, david, kits, janvit, blah. yeah. at 6:30 i was finally picked up. and by that time, my momentary depression had been quelled.

school was hectic, as usual, and now we've got so much homework to contend with. there's a monologue on tuesday T_T. heck, i hate acting. i can't do it, even if i try. haay. i wonder if i'll pass. hopefully i will. *crosses fingers* there's lots of hw to be done on sunday, as my classmates (sophomore c, haha) are going to my house tomorrow. whee. basketball..again. maybe i could get them to watch the star wars dvds as well, yehey. lol. i'm excited na. plus, there would be unlimited donuts once again! =)) si dom kasi eh, hindi pupunta. haha.

yeah, that's pretty much it. oh, happy birthday jam! in like 2 1/2 hours. haha.

a month from now...

harry potter 6 is coming out in a month! woohoo! lol. i've been waiting for its' release for a very long time, and finally, in 1 month's time, i'll be able to read the 6th chapter of the series. oh, i got to view this book in powerbooks about witchcraft in harry potter and how it should be banned from the shelves because of wrong teachings about the church. it's weird. i heard that from my tito as well, when i hadn't caught on to all the fuzz surrounding harry potter, about 3 years ago. ah well. anyway, 30 days! woohoo.

school's been giving me headaches already, even though we've barely started on the school year. i fear that this year is going to be a long one. ack. i feel slightly helpless and ashamed about our economics mural. i'm the leader and yet i feel that i didn't contribute much or try to involve my groupmates as much as possible. because of this, we haven't finished the project yet and my other classmates are forced to do it on their own at home. i thank those people who did something with the project and especially those who sacrificed tonight for the sake of it. thank you, thank you. i would never let that happen again. T_T

tomorrow is computer time. oh joy T_T haha. we'll be seeing miss ech-ti-em-el again. i heard that she has a keyboard logger installed in every one of the computer lab 3 computers. wow. haha. so i suggest that everyone who finds a logger in their pc clear out the keystrokes and stuff. invasion of privacy naman eh. anyway.

i watched the star wars bonus dvd over and over again over the weekend. ang saya. whoo. it was funny when i watched "empire of dreams" 3 times in succession =)). carrie fisher is old, and obviously, so are the other 2 main characters. haha. carrie is fatter now, and mark hamill's face is wrecked. sayang. haay. harrison ford is still making movies though. ang galing. i heard there is possibly going to be another indiana jones. i'm wondering who they'll pick as indiana if it's true. it'll be funny if it's still harrison, a 60 year old man doing stunts. cool =)) anyway, ang saya sa "return of the jedi", anakin's place with the hologram changed from the old guy who used to portray the dying darth vader to hayden. ang saya. whoo. plus they added a fade effect para mas maganda shempre. lol.

oh, and i got to watch hitch too. lol. apparently the dvd player that was in my parents' room wasn't playing the new dvds because the player is extremely old T_T. my parents ended up switching the player from downstairs with the old one. yehey. alex brennaman moment nanaman. during english class a while ago, when sir sabilano asked us about characters with which we could relate to in movies, kaboom. he suddenly popped up. obvious? whee.

quizzes are starting to pile up on my scheduler. this is not good. i haven't been getting enough sleep the past few days, and stress has caught up with me once again. the only upside for that is me losing weight all the time due to stress. haha. but that isn't good either. oh well.

i do not like sculpturing. art is just not my thing. T_T damn.

advanced happy birthday to jam :D

ah the things i miss

i begin this post by saying i DID NOT purposely set up the people in their places in my last blog. lol. it's just that almost everyone's saying i set it up T_T. lalang. anyway.

junior year has been different for many different reasons. first of, the hac is gone. i've constantly blogged about being nervous on this predicament the whole summer, and now, i'm finally experiencing it first-hand. my first day as a junior student was full of emotions, of both negative and positive feelings. when i arrived in school last monday, i quickly realized how different everything really was going to be. it was the most nerve-wracked first day i had to endure in the past 7 years, dating back to grade 4. even though i know my batch very well (i'm talking about the people in it and their personalities), it just feels different when you get to be classmates with them and talk to them daily. anyway, i felt depressed most of my first day in jr-e, and i constantly ranted about my class and how different i felt about it. but as the day ended, it finally got to me that i would have to adapt to the surroundings and so i began appreciating my situation. even better, i found out that all my hard work last year paid off. that made my day turn around completely for the better. it seemed as if all the frustration i had felt over the past 8 hours of school disappeared in an instant.

yeah, so after the highs and lows of my first day in school, everything seemed to stabilize. by that i mean the normal, boring, systematized learning in school. it became apparent to everyone that school was back, and there was no better sign to do this than by the teachers assigning us homeworks that last us all night. yehey. all of a sudden, homeworks are everywhere, projects are starting, and consecutive quizzes are scheduled. ah the life of a student. no more sleeping at 12 am and waking up 12 hours later, relaxed in bed. no more hanging around all day by the computer, or just being lazy all day in one of your friends' houses. oh, it's good that we (my hac classmates) were still together during mornings, breaktimes, and dismissal times. that really makes everything better. i've adjusted to my classmates already, i think. i'm as annoyed as i was with them during the first day. i guess i expected too much from a disciplinary point of view =)). and i've lost weight! but that came at the price of an empty stomach and a possible clash with sickness in the future. you see, i haven't been eating in school. this is so i could lose weight and save money at the same time =)) stupid idea noh? i know. oh well. at leat i've lost 5 pounds in a week. o diba? stres+lack of nutrition = weight loss + sickness ahaha. anyway, all in all, the first week has been okay. i think i could survive the next ten months of school. at least, i hope i could. i would need a lot of inspiration to do that though, and some food =)).

now it's time for the usual complaints and stuff. now, why are they requiring us to wear our id's in school? waah. naman eh. lol. and i still haven't got my id. i want to retake the picture that the school took. i looked uglier than my usual self there. lol. argh. hopefully they don't print the id yet. i need to change the picture there! next, there's the issue of the dismissal time. it's 4:25! aaah nooo. well actually it makes no difference to me since either my sister has these varsity practices that happen until 6 or my mom decides to come and pick us up at 6 T_T. either way it's still going to be me going home late. haha. another problem is the lunch time. even though yeah, i don't eat in school =)), it's still weird that we go to lunch at 1:45. in fact, this friday, the mass was late and we got off to lunch at 2:30 =)) now if it was last year, after lunch, it would've been dismissal time already. nakakatawa. our new teachers are um..well tell me what you think of them after reading this.
english: the teacher's okay. i miss sir viroomal though. haha. it seemed to be more laxed when he was the teacher. plus this new teacher gives us an impromptu speech on our first official meeting =)) freaky. other than that, he seems to be nice.
physics: he's our adviser. some other sections got sir lasap (and i'm envious, lol), but this teacher's alright. he's a bit boring but at least he's kind and all. yeah. i guess. i don't think i'll do well in physics though, i never really liked shapes and vectors and shit. kinakabahan na ako.
filipino: what could i say? of course i'm happy. i mean, it's miss caldo. we already know her, and she's nice. that thing johann told me last year is making me laugh everytime i see her though T_T. hahaha.
algebra: another miss vicky is in our lives. T_T. why is it that all teachers with that name suck? =)) she has a scary smile that she uses all the time. it's worse than the previous algebra teacher (you know who i'm talking about). miss vicky=procedures. ok fine. greaaat. the count is weird rin. it's like we're back to kiddie stuff. haay. i hope i do well in algebra this year, especially because there's no gem anymore. we have to do homeworks na T_T. why did you leave miss alcausin? WHYYYY. naman eh.
geometry: miss patty. patty and vicky oh yes. both came from divine light academy. ang weird. mtg T_T. well at least she's better than the other math teacher. the only problem is the notes thing. she doesn't allow copying while listening. i'm thinking she doesn't believe that we could multi-task T_T haay.
philosophy: sir cortel! whoo. his subject is VERY VERY tough, and i expect to have low grades in his subject and that scares me to death, but i like his voice. =)) nakakatawa eh. anyway, yes. we haven't heard a joke from him yet, ang daya! so far the first few meetings have been good and enriching, even though i'm sure when the tests come, my mind would be swirling around trying to search for answers. i really am not a think-out of the box person. i'm a very precise person, so yes. T_T i figure i'd die trying to think outside the box this year. haha.
economics: formerly known as ap. the teacher's very nice. i like his subject, and his personality definitely makes his subject one of my favorites. rodney, bea, elaine, francis, and the other section c people are lucky to have him as an adviser. i'm looking forward to this subject.
special subjects: pe is alright. i don't want to ballroom dance though. haha. scary shit. t.h.e. is scary as usual, as ms. sison is the one teaching once more. hopefully i could get through this year's cooking. i barely made it through last year. again, thanks to my cooking group last year for doing all the practical work. lol. art is alright, though i'm nervous about sculpting. art is just not my thing. music is fine, at least i'm not in general music. haha. i don't like their teacher. tom version 2 kasi eh. i'm fine with ms. natividad even though i get lower grades than the general class. lastly, computer. LOL. miss ECH-TI-EM-EL and BIH BIH. i really miss sir pats. damn. she doesn't seem to know a lot on her subject. she's too strict rin, kahit na wala kaming pakealam. haha. she's just fun to laugh at, if you know what i mean. again, i really miss sir pats. i don't want a misspel.com anytime soon =))

okay, so that was long. i'll now leave the school topic. lastly though, the mass last friday was great. i like how "kuya joey" does his sermons. it's more interesting that way. haha. go go go. the id joke in the end was err. lol. anyway. oh, sorry dainie! sorry talaga. haha. i do hope the red stain was removed from your jacket. tell me if it wasn't, so i could pay for it. i'm really sorry. johann kasi eh. =)) joke. that really was funny and mean though, what you did to the iced tea =)) i won't forget that moment anytime soon.

we went to town yesterday. my family and i watched mr. and mrs. smith. the movie was great in terms of action sequences, but lacked a good storyline. but anyway, i still give it a good rating. 9/10, just for the action scenes and the compatibility thing. haha. the fight in the house was great. =)) i want a dvd of that soon. but again, kawawa pa rin talaga si jennifer aniston. lol wala lang. oh btw, i got to buy an english translation of el filibusterismo and noli me tangere. the 2 in 1 book in powerbooks costs just 300 pesos. i tried to convince my mom to buy the hardbound ones worth 800 but of course, they declined. haha. at least i have english copies of them now! i'll finally be able to read it faster than 2 minutes per page. haha. my dad finally agreed on us buying the star wars trilogy box set. hooray! i watched the bonus dvd yesterday. ang saya. oh, we bought a dvd of the phantom menace too. the story was stupid, but still. yehey! we have it na rin! haha.

random stuff. today's independence day, the day over a 100 years ago where we got freedom back from spain. it doesn't feel as if it's independence day though, as our country's quickly getting weaker and weaker and the government's under turmoil once again. i even thought that there was another people power today T_T haaay. i have lost all respect for the government, quite honestly. this is exactly the reason why my parents want to leave the country so bad T_T. i hope the country could finally get over this huge hump and prosper once again, but my wish is almost impossible at the moment. lets just hope for the best. we have disney channel already! woohoo! lol. ang saya. now all that's left is etc. hopefully we'll be getting that too. *crosses fingers* tomorrow there's no classes, hooray. i'll be able to meet up with my friends again and play basketball and badminton before school begins..again. T_T. whee. finally, i've had a HAIRCUT!!! nooo! lol. my parents and relatives think it's nice and all, but i have a disturbing feeling that other people wouldn't. scary. it's way different. and the gay hair person put gel on my hair. it feels err...different. hopefully all you guys would not laugh once you see it hahaha. we'll see in 2 days.

belated happy birthday to cj (6), misty (7), mel (9), and isaw (11)! =)

counting down the hours..

yeah, there are 11 hours left before school starts. no words could explain how i feel right now. give me a word worse than the feeling you get from being the low self-esteem type of person standing in front of a huge audience preparing to give a speech. that might sum it up. in a few hours time, i'll be seeing my new classmates. people that i haven't had a chance to be close with the past 6 years, but have been there the whole time. i don't know why i'm getting nervewracked all of a sudden. it's like i'm more scared of actually meeting my new classmates than my new teachers. right now i'm not feeling any of the pressures of school work. everything in my mind is concentrating on that one moment where you see your new class for the first time. hopefully, that moment would not be a one to forget.

anyway, we went to fran's house yesterday for our last barkada gimmick as classmates. there were 7 of us who attended. basketball was fun. pablo was there, so it was even better. we hadn't seen him for a while so it was a pleasant surprise to see him there. even though my long losing streak in fran's house continued, it was a rather fulfilling experience. thanks again to fran's house for being our sponsor. haha. the dinner was delicious. oh, and we played in the rain with lightning and thunder once again. hopefully these meetings at each other's houses would continue even though we're not classmates anymore. here are some pictures taken after dinner.



btw, martin wasn't in any of the pictures. camera shy daw eh =))

lastly, i got this from pepe's blog. it would be a miracle if i could do a decent job here since i have no time. i have to sleep immediately. so here it goes. by the way, i filled this out randomly, so whatever comes out in the bottom is random. by that i mean, i didn't set the names up =)) lalang.

that's it. i have to sleep now haha. see you all in school tomorrow! =) sayonara summer.

last rose of summer...

summer's ending in 2 days. i still can't believe it. i don't want this summer to end..yet. it feels as though all the activities are just starting now. haha. i never actually finished any of my summer goals. i spent most of the time just playing at home and relaxing. i never got the summer activity i wanted to have. haay. anyway, the fact is, in 2 days time, school starts. i'll be facing a bunch of whole new faces to spend the time with for 10 months. the people i spent 6 years of my life with aren't with me in the same clasroom anymore and that's definitely going to be weird. right now i'm very nervous about that, but hopefully my nerves die away. it's going to be tough adjusting though. whee. anyway, yeah, that's it. school year, here we come, i guess.

we had one of the last gimmicks of the summer yesterday in town. it's really going to be weird that in 2 days, i won't be able to call those people my clasmates anymore. anyway. so we watched "a lot like love". i liked the movie, even though it was another romantic flick that had ashton kutcher there again. haha. i just watched guess who 2 times, then here he is again, in another movie T_T. i guess he's really becoming popular then. the other girl had a resemblance to demi moore. maybe they could have a real life thing going on. haha. after all, demi moore's a bit old and that girl's young-er. =)) labo. there were lots of people in town yesterday. a whole lot. i saw plenty of high school students and even grade schoolers roaming around. it was probably because it was the last friday of the summer coupled with the fact that there was a concert thing in the outdoor activity center. town was packed with students, i tell you. anyway, after the movie, we just spent the time talking in the food court. we took this picture. (btw, i'm the one in the back. lol. mahirap ako makita.)

we played in timezone soon thereafter, and had a few races and stuff. most of them played percussion freaks. mga adik talaga. haha. i bought 23 cds for mark's lost season =)) thanks rodney for accompanying me in cd-r king. damn, those women are really slow. it was really fun to be spending time with nika and gelo yesterday. it's too bad that i probably won't see them for a long period of time. gelo: go to the christmas party in my house ok? =)) anyway, we ate ice monster in the food court, and then walked all the way over to delifrance. after finally persuading johann to buy something so that we could stay and sit inside =)), we were all tempted to buy something. i bought beef lasagna. we spent the time there while our numbers dwindled slowly, and finally, when only the 3 of us (gelo, francis, and me) were left, we went outside. gelo had to go, and francis and i walked around town for about 20-30 minutes i guess. haha. it was really hot outside T_T. we met up with my parents, drank in starbucks, and then we went home. it really was a fun day. i'll miss calling them classmates.

2 nights ago i had another paranoid moment. as usual, i got all depressed and stuff. i got over that that same night though. hopefully i don't get that feeling again anytime soon. it's so sad. i should be thankful of what i have in life, and not like that.

i don't know if this would be the last blog i would make during this summer. but if it is, then all my next posts would be shorter. haha. see you all in school!

here is a quiz i took in quiz farm. isn't it obvious that i'm still obsessed with it? =))

*lastly, happy birthday kat!!! :D seatmate! haha. i miss those days. take care kat =)

that's a whole lotta blood in 3 hours.

it's pepe's birthday today. happy birthday to him again! so anyway, he celebrated his birthday a while ago in town. of course, i wouldn't be talking about this if i wasn't there. i arrived a bit late because of car problems and some dirty shoe fixing =)), but luckily lunch hadn't started. we ate in gerry's grill for lunch, had sisig, had some laughs. as usual, i became annoyingly quiet T_T. why does that always have to happen to me. anyway, here's a picture. thanks for the photo leiron, and for the enhancement, pepe.

yeah, so after lunch, the girls left and we had no apparent concrete plan. haha. we ended up buying tickets for "sin city". then we went over to timezone as we watched people there play tekken 5 =)). i played basketball while they were watching the "fighters", and then we raced. i won! yehey. after a while there, we decided to watch the movie already. haha. "sin city" was bloody. very bloody. but it was in black and white. haha. what if it had been colored? mas masaya sana! but then it would probably make us puke. haha. i kind of liked the movie because it was funny watching the people get shot so many times and live. =)) parang near immortal na sila. ang galing. after the movie, they went to netopia to play while i just stayed in the food court, waiting for them to finish. i ate ice monster, and saw isaw and sir lasap along the way. i don't think either of them saw me though =)) i decided to go home already while they were still in netopia. haha.

karting tomorrow! yehey. we'll be going to the fort tomorrow to hopefully kart. it all depends on the rain. haha. if it rains, we'll go to market market. yehey. either way, it would be fun. haha. it would really be nice if we could go karting though. i'm so excited.
EDIT forget this part, hindi natuloy eh. =)) sayang talaga.

i'm still addicted to my phone. a while ago i requested that leiron give me the r2-d2 wav tone. ang saya kasi eh! haha. it's so cool. it's now my message alert tone. haha. ang addict ko talaga sa star wars. haha. i've also become a theme addict. up until now, i'm downloading themes from websites. rodney! lol. get a bluetooth thing na kasi eh! so we could both join in the madness =))

sir patigdas and i will finally meet in 5 days time =)) school is closing in, and fast. i personally don't want it to start yet, waah :(( i don't want the long nights of studying to the point of getting so sick, the times when your brain wants to explode while trying to understand the lesson in school. i'm enjoying the current freedom of doing whatever you want, anytime you want. it's just better that way. haha. i'm really anxious. i've been having lots of dreams about the upcoming school year. scary.

gliza's in candy! lol. well, that's what she said a while ago. yehey. congrats gliza! i'm sure they'll give you a prize =)) we've recently played our old ps1 games on our ps2! lol. it's fun. i remember 5 years ago, i thought that those games were so advanced in graphics. but look what 5 years makes. now when we played it again, it looked like some old retro game already =)) ang saya.

i'm currently pigging out on kisses chocolates. ack. somebody stop me. =))
