it's a comeback!!!

Pagkatapos ng limang buwan, saka na naman ako ulit makapagdadagdag ng magagandang pangyayari sa buhay sa blog na ito. Bakit ngayon lang? Hindi ko alam. Hanggang kelan? Malalaman natin yan - dahil ako ang tipong gagawa ng blog at pagkatapos ng ilang araw, bibitawan lang naman ito at gagawa na naman ng panibago.

O, ba't binalikan ko 'tong blog na to? Ang galing kasi ang galing lang talaga. Masyado kong namiss ang pagbblog ng ubod ng haba! Nasanay na ako sa microblogging (hindi ko talaga gusto ang salita na 'to, masyadong techie). okay, moving on... ang galing lang talaga kasi.

Unang-una: kagigising ko lang 30 minutes ago, at ang akala ko ay Linggo na ng umaga. Ang sarap lang talaga siguro ng tulog ko. At sa sobrang sarap ng tulog ko, hindi ko man lang narinig ang mga text at missed calls sa phone ko. Hindi ko tuloy nasamahan ang kaibigan ko, nagyayaya ng dinner. :(( Nakakainis! At feeling ko talaga umaga na kanina. So sabog!

Ikalawa: Nakakatuwa. Noong July 11, nagpost ako ng isang blog entry sa luma kong blog noon pa. Isa itong entry tungkol sa Tarong. At nakakatuwa na may nagcomment dito, siya raw yung PM (production manager) ng dula. So ako tuwang-tuwa naman, kasi feeling close kami wahahaha. At gustung-gusto ko na sana noon sumali sa Entablado. So yun! Lumipas ang isang taon at walang nangyari, kailangan ko lang daw talagang maghintay ng recweek sa susunod na taon. So yun ulit! Kinalimutan ko na naman yung blog na yun at ngayon, never na dapat akong nagbblog. Sinipagan ako magblog kasi tinanong ako ni Jose Tanjuan sa Plurk kung ako daw ba yung nagreview ng Tarong sa blog ko kasi nagcomment sya dun!

ANG GALING, sya pala yung PM sa Tarong! WAHAHAHAHA. Wala lang. Share lang. Nakakamangha.

OK, yun mej tinatamad na ako magsulat,

Third

PS. ang boring no, wala ako maattach na picture sa blog entry na to.

PPS. so ano to!? magbblog na naman ako nito araw-araw!? babalik na naman ako sa dati kong pinagkakaabalahan!?

I know.

I met him March 13, 2009. And I don't know what to do.

To fall in love.
To just keep the way things are.
To follow my intuition.
To do everything.
To forget.
To find him.
To guess things up.
To love again.

I'm immensely sad. Yet in love.

current favorite self picture

I love love love. Thanks Mayu for the shot! I kind of edited the brightness and contrast. It is just like the perfect shot for me. HAHAHA. <3

Love, Narcissus.

obliged

If not for Melloney mentioning she has her own blog, I would have not made a new blog post here. I feel so sorry for this nook. Anyway, many things happened, and I guess I can't put it here anymore!

Status: I'm currently having my hell week as in right now. Next week won't be as much. I already have 3 consecutive nights of 4-hour sleep. This is a feat in my entire high school life. It is not healthy though but I can feel the rush of a college student. :|

And time is like so fast! This is so WOW: Tomorrow is the Ateneo de Naga's High Schools Graduation Day. It still cannot sink within me na I am here in Ateneo de Manila for one school year already. Last time, I just felt I was a newly graduate of Ateneo de Naga. And now, I'm about to be a sophie here! Achievement! =))

Ballroom: We'll be having our finals tomorrow!!! Will be held at Savanna and it will end until 12 midnight!

OK, I feel stupid writing everything that happened. I guess I'm just lazy! But before hitting the Publish Post button, I would like to share a dessert with you:

Drools... Gaspard Ulliel everyone!

ballroom it is

Normal day for me doesn't deserve its own blog post entry, but this day does! Maybe because of the annoyance of an unannouced freecut or maybe just the excitement I'm having right now concerning our ballroom class!

My day started out as usual - you have to wake up early and do the routine, just like robots, you see. I got to wake up early, thanks for my roommate's alarm clock - I forgot to set my own. I had to go to my 7:30 class only to find out it was a freecut. The hell. The hell lang talaga. I found myself boring and I had nothing to do for that one hour, though I pretty much enjoyed the aircon. But still!

After that, we had the Ash Wednesday mass... no need for the details. As I've told you, this day is pretty normal, but I consider it blog-worthy since... ... ...

I found out that I'm part of the ballroom dancers who will perform at the culminating activity on March 15. Our ballroom finals is on March 14 evening, and then early morning the next day, our teacher selected around 7 pairs together with other selected pairs from other classes who will perform at the Covered Courts. OMG lang talaga! Whew! That made me both scared and excited! My partner and I were very happy. Since kinakareer na namin every PE, eh di kareerin na namin til the end! OMG lang.

Whew!

More of Merce's

Here are more of Merce's birthday last Friday!!! Finally, she uploaded some more in her Facebook. :-) These shots are all inside Shakey's when were having lunch! More of her birthday celebration here!

The gang! Kim took this pictures, so unfortunately, you can't see him. Left-Right: Ryan, Me!, debutante haha, Kenneth, Melissa, Chyna and Ronald

The girls!: Melissa, Merce, Chyna!

Merce and her Dolphin!!! :-* transform to a person!!! :)))))

Hello, world.

OK. So weekend is a bit boring, and I expected that as usual. I ain’t doing anything at this moment, since I already submitted my part for our major Filipino project to Diday, and that makes my workload big time lighter.

Why am I blogging if I there’s hardly any fun activities? It’s because I’m currently using Windows Live Writer, and I’m basically testing it. It’s OK for now… and I guess I’d be using this more often, since I don’t have to open Firefox and insert pictures that would take me longer to update my blog.

Ugh… I think I don’t like this program at all… Urgh. We’ll see… We’ll see…

Not my ordinary Saturday

I am so glad for today I had my not so ordinary Saturday. The entire morning, I locked up myself in the University Archive for our Major Filipino project, and we have to submit a worksheet on Monday through email, even if it's a holiday. I know, it's kinda shitty, right!? But anyway, it's OK cause I've made my best this morning!!!

Because I didn't take breakfast, I was big time hungry so blockmates decided to go to SM Marikina to have lunch and to join Mayu canvassing for her shoes and Diday for her laptop. :) Had lunch at Chowking (of all the restaurants! HAHAHA), still cannot believe I ate for 2 rounds! :)))))

After that, went to the department store for some shoe-canvassing for Mayu. And then tried some glasses, etc... And then went looking for the best-priced laptop/netbook, cellphones, etc... And then had desert at Sugarhouse. After the whole afternoon, and after Diday left and Rap dropped us at Ateneo, we headed to Tasha's house and watched Trainspotting but we weren't able to finish it. Shite! Hahaha...

PS: I really am afraid now of dogs. Sorry, Napplebee. :-(

Happy Birthday Merce!!!

Yay yay yay! It's the day!!! Today is the celebration of Mercemarie Atian's 18th Birthday!!!

Ronald and I first tried to look for Merce to give her the red roses as part of the "18 Roses" that were distributed to her guy friends. And we did it successfully, mabuti nabigla siya para nagmukhang surprise talaga! Until Kim told her the secret, that it was planned by Chyna and all... Next is the surprise that was given to her by her blockmates at the Zen Garden... awww. Ang sweet ng block niya! :-)

We had lunch at Shakey's - blowout niya. As usual, the Ateneans de Naga, nagphoto galore na naman, and we took the legendary Maging Sino Ka Man shots, pero ngayon ibang version na... Tayong Dalawa shots na, HAHAHAHAHA. After eating sa Shakey's, we went to Cello's to have some desert. Merce went with us to Cervini 'cause we were having a hard time getting her taxi. I thought of rock-climbing with Ronald pero ang boring kasi, wala kaming kilala. :-( Sayang, last day na ng free rock-climbing, ugh...

But anyway, the day is happy!!!!!

Musical-watching

OK, I really have to blog this now because I'm in the mood right now. Last night, we watched Bare, the musical I really wanted to see ever since audition started. You see, I auditioned for a part but they kinda rejected me. HAHAHA. So I think I have to see what they did when they didn't even cast me, joke!!!

The musical is still running until Saturday, next week, that's February 28. So please watch, because I say, it was beautiful! There was humor, drama, party, etc... and most of all... bending the laws of love. :-( The musical was nearly-3-hour. I was with Tasha, Mayu, Tin and Frances all eager to watch the boylove musical.

But before watching the musical at 8PM, we first watched the basketball games of our blockmates Rap and Obed, and then had dinner at McDo Katip, while playing... CLUE!!!!! HAHAHA. Saya-saya!!! Sana makabili rin ako ng CLUE plzzzzz. I want one!!!

FNLLY Again!

Hahaha, I'm doing another post that is related to THIS POST. Somehow similar but entirely different. Today is another very happy day for me.

First, of all... it's Lester's birthday today! And we get to eat at Kublai's in its last days.

I started the day with theses presentation of the three seniors (I think) at Dela Costa instead of having the usual English morning discussion. We listened to three students about their theses and actually, na-nosebleed ako. But I can manage pa naman. They were talking about these literature stuffs about the novel 'Gapo by Nick Joaquin and the city of Manila, etc... I really couldn't understand why their theses must be about literature.

It's Monday, therefore, it's Ballroom Day. And we started learning the advanced Jive, and boy, was it hard and fast!!! Especially when the music is really, really fast, I can hardly make my steps because it's really fast! But it was fun as usual! After P.E., Lulu and I bought tickets for BARE. I'm gonna watch because I'm still bitter I was not part of the musical. The ticket costs 200 but we haven't gotten it yet, but we already paid. After buying, I went to the Caf to meet Amy, and we, with Tin, went to Kublai's for the real fun!...

As I've said, it's Lester's birthday today. And I regret eating at the caf because I was so full when we were about to it at Kublai's. Mukhang sayang 'yung pera ko dun, ah. But anyway, that afternoon defined FUN!!! I won't go to the details, just ask me na lang. As I've said, today's happiness has the same reason as of the link post's. :)

MAJOR HAPPY!!! Thank you Lord hahaha!!!

P.S. I'm actually waiting for the pictures, so you can see it. (LOL) (dance) :))

This week.

This week, wala lang. Nothing happened special except for Mara's birthday party and the Single Awarness Day which I suppose is not special pala! Ugh... The following pictures were taken last Wednesday, when, again!, we had freecut for Filipino for the nth time kasi may something na naman si Ma'am, so we got to use the air-conditioned classroom for an hour! Rest, meeting, etc...

Mukha bang busy? Pwede nang pang poster sa Ateneo promotion, right? But it's all scripted. I just posed for fun. (LOL)

Diday, Amy and me! while having a meeting for the Fil shits we have to do...

Mayu, Amy and me still having a meeting though Mayu is not really part of the group. We were doodling kasi sa board.

Here is Mara's 18th sa Discovery. :))

Rap! Magic Sing!

Frances and Obed.

When we were all singing ~ Y.M.C.A. ~

Carlos, ayaw kumanta. But at least he came.

Justin Canseko, isang gabing naging E3. Haha.

Ah, ok. They were saying I look drunk already. :-s

Dinner at Discovery

Hello people. I've just arrived from Mara's 18th Birthday Dinner Party-whatever-you-call-it. But all I know is I had fun with my blockmates and with Mara of course! We had this party at the Discovery Suites all the way to 18th floor, making loud noise in the entire unit, having karaoke and talking about any stuffs that come to our minds.

There were Justin C., Obed, Rap, Zyron, Mykie, Carlos, me and Frances (the only girl that time) + Mara, the debutante of course! and with her friends and former classmates! What we did the entire night was to have Magic Sing and watch Final Destination 3 and other Rugby stuffs over the television.

I wanna thank Mykie for the ride from Ateneo all the way to Discovery and back, and for Lulu and Mayu for touring me to SM Marikina, and to Lulu, Mykie and Carlos for touring me again at the Podium. Sorry na, first time ko makapunta jan sa mga lugar na yan hahaha.

I'm not pretty sure if I'd loose my voice tomorrow morning because of singing intensely, but all I know is that singing is really fun especially when I get to drink a 1/4 glass of wine and look like drunk already even though I'm not. It's really fun especially when Mara's mom gets to see Obed singing hysterically and she would get Mara's younger brothers away from Obed! Hahaha.

Hay fun! But it's really sad I wasn't able to finish Final Destination 3 because Mykie had to go home already and, I and Carlos have to go with him. Basta ayun! It was really fun!!!

My first medal in AdMU

Ang funny lang kasi ang funny talaga, eh. But anyway, I still have my new medal, thanks to Freshmen Mathematics Interclass Competition or something like that! Not because of that wala pa akong medal ngayon. [added to collection! hahaha!]

Surprisingly, I joined the contest all because of the bonus points that Sir Santos will give if ever we win, and yes, we actually won the 3rd place. But if you want to ask how many groups were there, just ask me na lang!

It's really a great experience. Ang intense lang, eh. Wala nang tatalo sa intensity ng competition na ito. Good job Ralph and Amy! Woohoo, bonus points! Go for A in Math 12!

lots of great things!

And I really think, this week will be a very good week, since I-forgot-when.

• Posting my previous blog entry makes me much happier each day, I do not know why.
• Yesterday night, I really spent all the time preparing for my Literature presentation, and this morning, it all went well!!!
• My Mom now started to send me errands, and I think I followed it correctly!
• We be having Math Midterm examination tomorrow, and I think I can manage to get a higher grade again! :D

Many, many more good things I can think of, but these are the only ones I can type down.

BIG CHANGE

For this post, I will put anything that relates with CHANGE. Though this will reflect more spiritually, rather than physically. There's something with February 7, 2009. And I can't believe I would be blogging stuffs that I find dramatic and so Maalaala Mo Kaya. There seem to be a big change in the Inner Me. Okay, before I go to the real deal, let's put some music (When You Say Nothing At All) so that I won't be distracted or the thoughts I need to put won't slip away. Mahirap na. I don't want to forget this moment, these thoughts running in my head, these thoughts are really important, something's sparking in them, like they're saying "You're changing, Third."

2008 has been harsh to me, I've said that a plenty of times, in my head, in my other blogs, or with my friends. Harsh. Literally. Figuratively. Life-changing. Challenges. I really hated it as much as I loved it. But 2008 helped me more than put me down. I really loved 2008. But I hated it also. I cannot expain more than this.

Remember the time when the World Economic Crisis started, when AIG fell down, and everyone followed. I think some of you followed also, and so did we. Economy for our family has been harsh. I forgot the exact month when that crisis started. All I knew was I was entering Ateneo de Manila for my college, and I felt great. And my parents are very supportive, letting me take any course I wanted that time, and so I fell to Information Design. It was really hard for that part, adjusting and everything else. New home. New school. New friends. New what-have-yous.

And then, it was the end of October when something really bad happened. And my family was greatly affected. I felt so down during the end part of first semester and the whole semestral break. I won't go into details. But just imagine your future in Ateneo to be so unsure, you might leave or not. I saw my Mom cried again and I was just comforting her and not caring if anybody else was seeing us.

And then, I was really decided to shift to another course, still in Ateneo de Manila. And I was guessing that I would be extending my college years up to 6 years. Can you imagine that?

Hay, life!

Today, my Mom left the country, and so she gave me her phone today, so I will be using her number from now on. And then, my aunt texted the number and asked if I was watching Maalaala Mo Kaya. I said, we don't have TV at the dorm. And then she said, Love your parents, and don't expect much from them. Honestly, I was hit. Am I expecting too much from them? I think I do. I'm so down, but I'm so up right at this moment. Hay, life talaga.

Blame "shyness" for I cannot say all the things I want to say to my mother...

Sorry for expecting too much. Sorry for taking things for granted. Sorry for not texting you every night when I do not know you were missing me that you had to text me that I couldn't remember you. Sorry for only texting you when I ran out of allowance. Sorry for I do not attend mass on some Sundays. Sorry for not taking the course that you wanted. Sorry for I am not the practical person like you are. Sorry for I do not really know all the smart things we should learn in life. Sorry if I might disappoint you. Sorry for giving you heartaches everytime it's tuition time. Sorry for disturbing you for I was asking about practical things that should be asked no more. Sorry for not using the laundry and do it my own inside the dorm, instead I go to laundry services. Sorry for I eat along Katipunan even though it is not needed...

Maraming marami pa. Sorry na lang to all...

BUT REST ASSURED, by writing this blog, I'm changing myself. Because 2008 had been harsh to us, I will make 2009 wonderful. If this is a curse, then let it be. I curse that 2009 will be great. I won't let you and myself down this year. I will study every night (weh!? haha). I will review even it's not the night before an exam. I won't go along Katipunan if it's not really important. I will walk from the dorm up to LRT station, instead of riding a tricycle...

As long as this would prevent me from giving you problems and heartaches...

I LURRRVE YOU, MOMMY. Hahaha. I'm really proud of all the things you have done for me and everyone else. (I'm so teary-eyed na, bwisit.) You're the best Mom, cliche I know. But who cares, you are the only Mom I know. HAHAHA.

Hay life.

:D:D:D

Really Coming Soon

And again, I'm overly hyper activated when I saw the promotional posters for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. And since I've been a Potter fanatic for over 5 years, what else to do but to celebrate and give it its own blog post. Below are the three official promotional posters! I really cannot wait. I was literally SHOCKED when I read the official delay of the movie last year, but now it's really happening, it's really COMING SOON. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

instant colds

I think I will never sleep on the afternoon ever again! Yesterday, I just slept around 3pm to 6pm since I was really, really tired because of acads, and I didn't sleep well the night before. When I woke up, I suddenly had sipon the entire night, and I really do not know the exact reasons. I think it's because of the fan or it was really because of the windy afternoon that made my respiratory whatever worked wrong, I don't know how to explain it scientifically.

Basta, it already happened to me before. I slept at our lanai in the afternoon, and then in the evening, may sipon na ako. So until today, I'm suffering from colds, and I cannot concentrate on my preparation for Lit report, so I think I won't do well for Lit tomorrow. :-&

Best wishes, Thirdie! :)))))

PS: I really do not like to report tomorrow. I feel sick. :-&

"library work"

HAHAHAHA. Just want to share my English blockmates!!! This was like 1-2 weeks ago, when we were supposed to have a "library work" but since Ma'am was not actually around to supervise, we ended up just sitting on the benches in front of DeLaCosta Hall. And took pictures using Mariell's laptop. :)

Eboy in his, er, usual side.

Some of my En blockmates: Eboy, Ron, Nikki, Zee, Louise, Sam and Marielle!

"Gonna eat ya"

RETRO CITY pictures

Here are some of my favorite shots last Friday night, ARSA Variety Show 2009! I got to hang out with my high school friends and saw different local bands, hehe... All shots are from Merce, so there you go...

We had a fast dinner at a fast food restaurant. HAHA. No, actually we stayed longer at McDo, trying to decide whether to really attend the variety show or not! Guess... we did!

Ateneo de Manila University at night!

I really fancy Irwin Theater with its light on at night. I wonder what was the occasion.

Just outside Cervini, waiting for Ronald to be "DELIVERED".

Me and Ryan, nagpapaka-Banker's-silhouette.

The ironic Stage. They say it's technicolor when most of it is black-and-white.

OK. Watching proper.

Exposure Trip

This picture is an evidence of how "KULIT" the children were!!! Grabe, as in grabe, as in nagkaron ako ng great realization na ang hirap mag-alaga ng ganitong mga bata!!! Kukulet grabe! As in hihingalin ka, pagpapawisan ka, mapapagod ka, lahat na. We can't even make a right group picture sa sobrang kulit ng ibang mga bata.

We had our Exposure Trip sa Marikina Boys Foundling Home (something like that, cannot remember). It's like a 20-30-minute jeepney ride from Ateneo. We left Ateneo around 8:30 AM na, like the schedule was not followed as usual, so we had to make the activities a bit shorter. We went there with 4 jeepneys, 2 for each blocks. We were with Block LL, Life Sciences, and they're like cool people, hehe... My partner's Monica, well, a bit shy and soft-spoken, pero she's nice naman, hindi lang kami masyadong nakapag-usap kasi we have 2 MAKUKULIT na ALAGA, Xander and Dominic, so parang tig-isa kami, hahaha.

Nakaka-depress lang (BUT IT'S OK), kasi ayaw nang ibigay sakin ni Dominic 'yung Staedtler ko na colored pen, so parang ang sad kasi may sentimental value yung colored pen na 'yun sakin hahaha. It's from my Dad like 2-3 years ago, binigay niya sa kin. Dapat sana 'di ko na lang dinala, total, pwede naman pala mag-share ng coloring materials with other students. But it's OK. Hahaha.

And after going back to Ateneo, I, together with some of my blockmates, ate at Perspolis, kung saan napagastos ako ng MAJOR, kasi masarap yung pagkain doon, so I had to order for the second time, and for the third time. Kaya MAJOR BROKE ako ngayon hahaha.

ANG TIRING TALAGA NG DAY NA 'TO. Pero masaya pa rin hahaha. So I guess, for the next 2 days, matutulog na lang ako ng major grabe. :)

Thanks for the long weekend.

Yup, kahit nakakapagod ang last days of the week ko, OK na OK lang.

The ARSA Variety Show was OK for me. I thought it would remain boring until the end - sorry for using the word, but really, I was surprised when I came late with my friends (around 7PM) and we really thought there would be many people already, like the quad would be full. I think the start was really not that good, and the rain made it worse. Good thing the hosts were able to handle it well and kept the people entertained.

Ryan, Merce, Testa and I just watched the bands up at the second floor wondering when will the rain stop and when will KAMIKAZEE appear! Hehe... To tell you honestly, it was the band that I really know well among the performers, though I heard some of them already. And before I forget, there was the fashion show sponsored by Penshoppe. And I really think not all were really interested, unless you're a dormer or you know the models...

It was getting late already and Merce already saw one of her favorite (that's what she said hehe) bands, Paramita. There was Radioactive Sago and Typecast and I forgot the others. (Not really into bands, you see.) And since it was really getting late, Merce and Ryan had to go home. So, I hadn't had any interest in watching the rest so just stayed in my room. But of course, I had to wait for Kamikazee to perform, so yes, I saw them. Again, Jay got naked again, haha. And thank God, the rain stopped so the people started staying in front of the stage.

I thought the good parts of the show were done, but there was Spit (I'm not sure of the name) who had their improv comedy, and it was REALLY funny...

So there, I slept already even when the concert wasn't done yet. I can't afford to watch it since we would still be having our Exposure thing the next day (which is today).

And so I guess I have to make another blog entry for our Exposure Trip, ok??? I'm tired of writing straight.

TGIF

Salamat talaga. Kahit napaka big FAIL ng first day of the week ko ngayon, my last day is really HAPPY!!!!!

Sa wakas, nakapagreport na ako sa Chemistry, which is always postponed since Tuesday last week, that was more than a week already. I already keep on forgetting what I was going to report. Mabuti na lang mabait naman ang Lab Prof namin!!! :)

And tomorrow, we'll watch Unang Baboy Sa Langit. Hay Salamat talaga, cannot wait for a weekend to rest!

HAPPY!!!!!

I want weekend.

As in now na!

I feel so sad thinking my blog posts for the past days are all about being stressed out in school. Ayoko na talaga hehehe. I'll just share the video Frances plurked out yesterday! Hahahaha! It's so cool, hindi ako makahinto sa pagtawa nang una ko itong makita.



So anyway, these things happened to me today and yesterday! --

Already bought the ticket for Unang Baboy Sa Langit. I'm gonna watch it with Merce and Ryan on Saturday night. And our Chem teacher walked out today!!! Yan lang naman!

way better!

I agree with myself. Today was a bit of a hassle day but it's way better than yesterday when literally I was failing everything: ballroom, Filipino and Chemistry!

HASSLE!!!!! But it was fun though.

I had 2 30-minute breaks, and a 1-hour break, a 45-minute guidance routing interview. And in that 1 30-minute break, I had to line and sign up for an ACP class today for January 29! I think I really am excited for ACP Day, and I really wish it's always ACP because almost all of the topics are very, very interesting! Sadly, I wasn't able to get my favorite slot which is a 1-day tour in Ayala Museum, that was what I really wanted! But anyway, I got "Why Care for Poverty" and Merce and Ryan will be with me! Woohoo!

Our ChemLab today was good also! I think I'm confident (FINALLY) with my asnwers in the essay because for the past Labs, I was really failing BIG TIME. So, I just hope I won't in this last one.

So far, the day is good!!! Ayoko ko na ng katulad ng kahapon plz!

Fail Day

FAIL! One word that can describe my day today!

I have been irritated most of the day, and it felt like I was going to erupt at any moment. My English today was just fine, my Lit, just fine. Glad thing there was no Intact today, but Filipino was the most annoying of all + my Ballroom class, in which my partner was absent, and at the same time new DIFFICULT steps were taught, so again, my partner had to catch up... fast, since our teacher doesn't do refresher sessions... + the level of steps since this month got higher, from the normal steps to the professional level... daw.

I just hope this is the only fail day for this week. Monday pa man din! URGH! Mabuti na lang I had the courage to study in Lit and Chem this afternoon, thank God, kung hindi, napaka unproductive ng araw ko ngayooooon! Grabe!!!!!

Well at least I had fun during our group discussion and lunch before Fil, but that was it. 'Yun na nga lang ang masaya ngayong araw. Haaaaay. Fail Day talaga!

best weekend

Well, it SHOULD have been the best weekend. not because of the REPORTING given to us just last Friday which is to be done TOMORROW! ang galing no! THE F! anyway, since I am really hating this fact, I delve myself into some friend bonding na lang, to balance my weekend! :D

I had this awesome movie-watching at Merce's with her and Ryan last Saturday night. We watched RENT (a musical film) and it was good, I say. But before that we had lunch sa NEW McDO sa Katipunan. Hahaha. And to think na sunud-sunod ang party dun, ang dami talagang taooooo. It was crowded. There were too much tables kasi, so parang hindi na siya McDo, para na siyang ewan, hehe.

Today, we had lunch with Aimee, since she had her ACET today! Yey! I hope she passes. *prays* And then andami na namin nyan dito, hehe. And then after lunch, I bought the required book for Literature, THE WOMAN WHO HAD TWO NAVELS by Nick Joaquin. Buying that made me broke for today more. Hehehe...

So far, I'm currently being followed by FIL12 Curse, ang stresssss!!!

HAHAHA. BUT I'M STILL HAPPY! Woohoo!

ON MY WAY

At last, I made the first big step for shifting - signing up for CEW (Career Exploration Workshop), a three-hour workshop with the students who wish to shift for the next year. I'm not being impulsive here but shifting is in my mind since the OrSem, at last, malapit na! Gusto ko na tong matapos lahat para wala na akong isipin. There are still a lot more to do - writing letters for department heads, the workshop, my guidance interview on the 20th, and I still do not know the others. AND PLUS! I have to make a real good shot on Mathematics this year, it's my only Pass for shifting! *crosses fingers*

So I just hope all things go well!!!

Adieu.

Creativity!

Well, I totally forgot about it!

Last Monday, we had a very interesting session at InTact, for me at least, since once again, I, with my blockmates, had this opportunity to be very creative. And as I know myself very well, I used to get hyped whenever there's something in my mind that I found to be creative. Just read Patrick's entry (link above) to see what we have made - a futuristic (but feasible) movie theater inside Ateneo! HAHAHAHA. My mind is still actually hyped about the idea.

One more...

I survived two long tests today!!!

I thought I wouldn't be able to do it for the second long test, since it's my Migraine Day today. But thank God, it only lasted for about a couple of hours, it was because of that Math long tests that I studied the whole night yesterday until midnight. After the test, around 9am, I had a BAD headache, which I don't think much about since I'd still be having another long test at 4:30 PM - Chem. That's why I have to study the whole day for Chem!!!

And gladly, the day is very well - even though I think I won't have high grades for Chem...

Now that these 2 burdens are gone, I have one more left... the Fil Paper due tomorrow.

I still feel happy.

"Maraming nagugutom sa mundo, Atenista ka pa rin"

I have to repost this because I really find it very true! Ang galing, super straight-to-the-point, just the things I have thought but was not able to make into words in a simple way...

I read this actually from another blog and was reposted and reposted, so I will place here na lang the link of the writer herself. Here.

Original post follows:

Atenista ako. Pero marunong akong mag-diretsong Tagalog. Atenista ako. Pero marunong akong makipagtulakan sa MRT at isiksik ang sarili ko sa kakarampot na espasyo sa jeep. Atenista ako. Pero hindi ako gumagasta ng libo-libo sa isang pares ng sapatos o sa isang jacket. Wala akong kotse, wala akong driver, at lalong-lalo nang wala akong Wii o X-box o Play Station para mag-Guitar Hero at Rock Band maghapon. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nitong hindi ako singtalino at sing-galing ng ibang Atenistang meron ng mga bagay na to. Hindi ibig sabihin nitong hindi ako bagay na mag-aral sa isang sikat na unibersidad. Hindi ibig sabihin nitong hindi ako Atenista.



Madalas nababansagang maarte kaming mga Atenista dahil sa pananalita namin. Pero matalino lang ang mga estudyante ng Ateneo. Ang kapaligiran, mga propesor, ang estilo ng pagtuturo at pamamalakad ay dinisenyo para manganak at magpalaki ng mga studyanteng hindi lang napipilitang mag-aral ng mabuti, kundi ginugusto talagang maging mahusay sa akademya. Walang masamang maging magaling mag-Ingles. Walang masamang maging gamay makipag-usap sa mga dayuhan. Walang masamang maging marunong makipag-debate at ipaglaban ang pinaniniwalaan mo.



Mareklamo daw kami. Bakit, sa La Salle ba, walang nagrereklamo sa lakas ng ulan? Sa UP ba, walang nagrereklamo sa init ng panahon? Sa Benilde ba, walang nagluluksa pag walang kuryente o mabagal ang wi-fi? Hindi kami naiiba sa inyo. Sa lahat ng mga ganito pa rin ang ideya tungkol sa mga Atenista, wala pa siguro kayong nakakausap na dormer ng Cervini, na galing Cotabato at nagsisikap mag-aral ng mabuti kahit nag-iisa at malayo sa pamilya. Wala pa kayong nakikilalang scholar na minsan kailangang umutang sa OAA para lang may pamasahe papasok. Sila? Nagrereklamo ba sila?



Elitista daw kami. Pero hindi lahat ng Atenista mayaman o feeling-mayaman. Hindi lahat kami “sheltered” katulad nang hindi lahat nang Lasalista negosyanteng Intsik at hindi lahat nang taga-UP aktibista at hindi lahat nang taga-UST ay mga siokoy na lumulusong sa baha. Hindi porke’t “elite” ang school namin “elitista” kami. Hindi porke’t may dalawang Figaro sa loob ng campus namin hindi na namin nasisikmura ang isaw at betamax. Hindi porke’t malinis ang mga banyo namin pinandidirihan na namin ang mga Aeta. Marunong naman kaming manood ng Eat Bulaga at Wowowee at nabalitaan din namin ang break-up nina Dingdong at Karylle. At hindi lang usong damit at UAAP ang inaatupag namin. May pakialam din kami sa mundo. Alam namin ang tungkol sa global recession at krisis sa stock market ng Amerika. Nanood kami ng SONA at naintindihan namin yon. Alam na alam namin ang banta ng global warming, kaya nga hindi na kami gumagamit ng styro. Alam naming importanteng iangat ang estado ng Pilipinas sa mundo, kaya nga kami may JTA. Alam namin ang kalagayan ng mga magsasaka sa Calatagan, kaya nga ginagawa namin lahat ng kaya namin para matulungan sila. At oo, alam naming maraming nagugutom sa mundo, kaya nga Atenista pa rin kami.



Wala pa akong isang buong taon sa Ateneo. Pero alam ko ang mga pinagsasasabi ko. Dahil sa loob ng pitong buwan sa Katipunan marami akong natutunan, nakilala, napuntahan at natulungan. Dahil nakita ko ang puso at talino ng mga taga-Ateneo. Dahil hindi ako maarte, hindi ako feeling mayaman, hindi ako mareklamo, at hindi ako elitista, pero hindi ipinagkait sakin ang pagiging Atenista.



One of Radioactive Sago Project’s albums is entitled, “… Ang Daming Nagugutom Sa Mundo Fashionista Ka Pa Rin”. Vocalist Lourd de Veyra plugs, “Bilhin ninyo ang album namin, “… Ang Daming Nagugutom Sa Mundo Atenista Ka Pa Rin”. I’m not angry at Radioactive Sago. In fact I love Lourd de Veyra. I want him to write me a song. This is just a reaction.

Finally. Finally. Finally!

I consider this one of the happiest days of my life. I know I really want to write why on this blog, but I'm not major ready for saying it out loud. I don't know why I did it. I just felt it was the right time to do it. I don't know what came to my mind when I had planned to do that.

Anyhow, I'm still happy!!!

so far so good

wtf third, why are you still rambling about being so lonely in Manila when you are already living there for over 7 months, like c'mon! wtf lang.

hahaha. that was my other me scolding me like we're not as one.

honestly, i'm still lonely (and alone -> please put on a deeper meaning here plz).

so many time to explain but so many thoughts that i still need to ponder on. this is me currently honing my inner self. 2008 was really a monster for me, maybe because i expected a lot (read my Multiply entry about this around January 2008 -> i really expected good things), but it turned out the other way around.

in fact, i wrote on a one whole sheet of paper all the major negative things that 2008 did to me, to my family and to the world, seriously. i even included the collapsing of AIG because my mother partly works in Philamlife. that list was long but i tried to keep it in the darkest part of my drawer to forget about it. i don't plan to throw it. that list even helped me a lot to think that there is more. besides, it is 2008 NO MORE!

so even if i'm lonely, i know i'm blessed. :)

stay happy. :)

p.s.: i only realized just now how i hated 2008 AD. seriously. all along i thought 8 is lucky. but i guess, there's a phrase i always hear more, Lucky 9.

it's because of nostalgia

yes, i will be making yet another blog because of nostalgia. but hey, i recovered na ages ago. i just find it so cool when you're reading a blog 2 years ago (even though this is still relatively fresh) about your junior year in high school, now that you're already ending your freshman year. i find it tearing hahaha. no no. natawa lang ako to all the things issa said!!!

so that is why i decided to write this blog. i want to make a memory out of my college years. kahit ako lang may alam, ok na. i haven't made any blog entry about my blockmates now in college or even my most unforgettable event this year. what if 2 years later, i want to reminisce it? that's my point...! :))

Considering that I'm in Ateneo means that nothing has changed. but what the fuck, i moved from Ateneo de Naga to Ateneo de Manila. that means a lot. before, when i was just about to pay for ACET form, i was really looking ADMU as the best school in the Philippines, but as time goes by, i think i can see my place in Ateneo, yung 'lugar' ko, i think marami naman siguro ang mageget ito. hahaha. i saw how as ordinary Ateneo as a whole is as Ateneo de Naga. do you get it? what makes it different is the people studying in it. (be talking about the Ateneos on my next posts, ok?)

i just hope i won't leave this blog after, say a couple of days dahil sawa na agad ako, just as what i did to my other blogs. blogs for me are so overused na. i want to make a real blog where i put thoughts and make them memories. i wonder if after 5 years, i can create a number of loyal readers to this blog! funny to think! but probable. hahaha.
