here's to a better new year

2007 has been one hell of a year. and even though the year's about to end, i'm still not sure if 2007 has been a good year for me or not. (whether "one hell of a year" is positive or negative)

Pros:

  • events in school (STC) flourished. well sort of..during hs, we didn't have much activities so it was really a big deal for us when the Bandfest came. other runner-up events were Outbound, Senior's night (actually the best), personnel's day (kasi walang pasok), etc.
  • early this year, i finally graduated from high school after toiling myself over sleepless months and merciless teachers. i'm really not exagerrating. college load may seem like a piece of cake compared to hs. (for now) but really, graduation day didn't really make a big impact on me. i was like "ok, i'm out of high school! ateneo here i come!"
  • my family and i had a vacation in the US and i finally stepped foot in Disneyworld after 11 years! it felt great being able to travel again. in the process, i was also able to spend time with my ate (the one in canada) together with kuya david.
  • i was able to gimik here and there. i'd don gigs, concerts, and simple tambays as much as you'd say "tara!"
  • i turned 17. (so what?)
  • i made new friends in college. i actually misjudged ateneo. i expected something more "culture-shocking". but really, all the conyos, stereotypes, snobbish & panay porma lang attitudes that most people associate with atenistas weren't really "there". i mean, it doesn't mean that if you're an atenean, you're rich and mayabang. don't all schools have that? i actually encountered the most accommodating people in ateneo. (ehem! hindi katulad ng iba na naninigaw ng mga applicants noong isang entrance test)
  • i partially left my comfort zone. i tried to dip in different types of people. i didn't pretend to be someone else, but i didn't alienate anyone either.

Now for the cons:
  • this has been the year where all my insecurities rocketed up. back in high school, i was fine. sure, i had the occasional self-esteem issue but i was pretty much stable back then. i embraced my imperfections and had fun with friends. i didn't mind being goofy and crazy because it was fun. i didn't care much for my appearance because i knew that my true friends accepted me for who i was and loved me despite all my flaws. i loved just "letting it all loose" because it was like i could do anything i wanted because nobody will judge me. despite all the piles of school work and stress, people were always there to give you a hug or a sweet message to just cheer you up. college is different. you just can't hug the person sitting next to you when you're going ballistic over stuff. people would also tease you as if you guys were back in grade school. it's fun at first, but it gets old and really annoying when they don't stop.
  • i experienced different kinds of attitudes. never have i thought that in our age, somebody could be as immature as a grade-schooler. these kinds of people made me so miserable that i cried often.
  • there were days that i wanted myself dead. i didn't have any suicide attempts, but gets? i felt unimportant and miserable. maybe it has something to do with my effed up hormones. and i thought i was over that stage. (when i was about 14)
  • i really felt unpretty. there were people who tried to put me down.
  • there were some health issues regarding family members.
  • i got frustrated a lot in school. i really had to run an extra mile to get "hmmm...ok" grades.
  • the tough competition made me feel tiny.
with all these, i'm still not sure whether this year has been productive or not. this has been the year where i felt the lowest. i felt alone at times and would cry in the bathroom at night. i guess i just had a hard time letting go of my "high school" life. please, don't get me started. i'm not saying hs was all fun and games. actually, it was far from that. it was a good mixture of the good and the bad, which makes it the perfect imperfection ever. in college, i really dealt with different kinds of people. some were weird, some were childish, some were drug addicts, some were music mayhems, some were kikay rich kiddos, some were super conservative, some were too uptight, some were too lazy to even care, some were normal, some were like me, and some were my friends.

i guess, this year has been productive after all. it was one emotional year, that's for sure. but it has also been the year where i learned a lot from myself.

fall down seven. stand up eight.

and i thank you dear friends for showing all the love. <3 :)

cheers to a spankin' new year! i do hope it'll be a better one for all of us.

happy new year!

3-in-1 reunion

it's something past 12 already and i just finished posting all the pics in multiply. these past 2 weeks have been definitely been the bomb. just yesterday, i was lucky enough to catch up with high friends (both ii2 and iv2).

i spent the morning and the afternoon with ii2 at trinoma and the night with iv2 at friday's. oh, midnight and morning with makis and josel. we had another one of those last minute sleepovers.

we did the usual at trinoma. we ate at McDo and went crazy over timezone. are you even surprised that we went gaga over the karaoke rooms? again? you know the drill. :P i think we at least sang about 15 songs yesterday. i guess the 4 of us were obvious veterans as aca, mimi, and angel were a bid shocked. hehehe but they went with the flow towards the end. :)



the notes are old
they bend they fold
did you think that i would cry on the phone?
do you know what it feels like being alone
i'll find someone new
swing swing
from the corners of my heart
is crushed by a former love
can you help me find a way
to carry on again

ella ella e ella ella e
you can stay under my umbrella

Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember baby, get it on, get it on, '
Cause tonight is the night when two become one I need some love like I never needed love before (wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more (wanna make love to ya baby)

love me love me
say that you'll love me love
fool me fool me

mapapansain kaya
sa dami ng iyong ginagawa
kung kaagaw ko sila
nag-aabang sa langit
sa mga ulap sumisilip
sa likod ng mga tala
kahit sulyap lang darna

ilang isaw pa ba ang kakaiinin, o giliw ko

uh uh uh oh why'd you have to go
away from home
me love

we bought some bday presents for mea and kookie and headed for kookie's house. :)



after that, i went home to change....then surprise bday parrrtaaaaaaay of mea at friday's!

it felt like high school over again. di parin kami nagbabago. HAHAHA.

wala paring finesse ang mga galaw at pinagsasabi namin.

we did look more lady-like though. you gotta give us some brownie points for that!

-------------------------------------------------------------
left at around 1030 and josel and makis slept over! wooohoo :D

best week of college life ever

This entry is more for me rather than for your reading. I was just so excited to “document” my best week of college life ever, that it got so long.

Aloha!

It’s been a while since I last blogged, and to tell ya the truth, i made this entry offline. The dsl is effing up again! (as if it wasn’t enough that I didn’t go online for about a week or so.) Anyway, this past week has been officially my best week of college life ever! Why, you may ask?

First off, I got a new laptop! :D it aint a Mac(it’s a sony VGN-SZ230P,and even has a fingerprint security thing!), but still, I got a new one! (I’m actually using it right now. And, I think I need to get use to the freaking keyboard! The keys are kinda larger than the ones in regular notebooks. And most of the stuff that I need aren’t installed here yet. I still love my Compaq laptop though. it’s been with us for about 8 years, and has been “mine” for the past 4 years.

Moving along…

I swear, this has been the week where I laughed out real loud and became all crazy all over again! It was like high school all over again. With all the hellish longs tests and pesky last minute projects aside, this week has been definitely the bomb.

Here are my reasons:

Friday. December 14, 2007

  • I was able to bond with Miranda, makis, and feliz at ateneo! We were originally supposed to watch the Under the Stars thing of LFC (loyala film circle), but we got bored and just hitchhiked back to Katipunan to pig out on pizza and sabotage the peacefulness of MyPlace’s cafeteria. We just couldn’t stop laughing! Hahaha. :P I missed laughing my head off! :D
  • Had a heart-to-heart talk with makis at starbucks!(I even shed some tears. I was just frustrated with some things)
  • I even saw jayjay of the bloomfields! :X

Saturday. Dec 15,2007

  • partaaaaay in alabang! (just refer to my previous blog entry)

Sunday. Dec 16,2007

  • attended the first simbang gabi.

Monday. Dec 17, 2007

  • stayed in school for about 4 hours with makis just to attend the simbang gabi mass. While waiting, we headed for the lib and I just happened to browse some Fashion books (for jap class) and Makis and I couldn’t stop laughing! The clothes ranged from cool, edgy, cute, to pure hideous and plain ugly. :P hahahaha as in! (imagine this: shoes made from raw meat)
  • pigged out at Kenny Roger’s!

Tuesday. Dec 18,2007

  • made it through lab! Phew!
  • Freecut for Fil12.
  • Had some block bonding time during our 5-hour break! Woohoo!
  • Observed the behaviour of guys while playing internet war games. (for my English argumentative paper. My stand: Although internet gaming may seem like a promising feat for technology, it should be banned because it causes psychological problems/anxieties). I even asked my guy blockmates Scott, Oliver, and Pete to play Counterstrike and Warcraft just so I could “observe”. Haha! You should have been there! I was the only girl in the shop and the guys just kept on cursing and shouting as if they were really in a live war. :P

Guy1: putang ina!!! Panoorin mo akong patayin ka!!! Yaaa! Hahahaha! Wooohooo! Supot ka pare!!

Guy2: ano?! Hindi! Hindi! Gago ka!!! Ito! Ito! Lalaban parin akoooo!!! Yaaa!

  • Commuted to UP for the first time! My goodness! It was such an adventure! I was with Makis, and we all know that she aint exactly the best when it comes to directions! It was sooo funny and scary at the same time! We just relied on drivers for directions! Hahaha! And by the time we arrived at the FA building (at around 630 pm), it was so darn dark! It was so scary because i wasn’t familiar with the UP in the first place, and i was with someone who was partially dependent on my direction skills (ehem! Ehem! Haha!), UP is HUGE!, ANDDDDD the path that the jeep was taking looked more like a dirt road than a street to me! It was a good thing that Miranda decided to stand outside of the building so it was easier for us to know where to get off. :)

  • We helped Miranda make her saring manok lantern. At first, it really looked more like a blimp or a fish, but towards the end, two fairy godmothers(ehem!) transformed it into a purty saring manok! Hahaha! We named it Philip right after! Hahaha! If it weren’t for us, Miranda would have stayed there for the night! (yes, we’re really proud of our lantern. :P) I missed doing those kind of things. Ya know, making crafty stuff for school and staying late at school with friends just to finish the project. In the process, you get super bangag, tired, and high from inhaling the fumes of the materials. HAHA. I missed acrylic emulsion. :P i also loved the “shop” where we worked! It’s like this garage-like building where artworks are stored and made. It’s pretty messy inside and looks like a construction site. When i grow up, i wanna have one of those. :) it was pretty fun swimming through a pile of materials when you’re looking for the scissors or something. Haha. And! I tripped on some paint/acrylic emulsion/glue for like, three times! Hahaha! My toes were just so stiff and sticky! Hahaha! Oh well, i missed “that” messy feeling anyway. :)

Miranda: ikaw na lang maglagay ng acrylic emulsion sa lahat.

Ishi: ok. Namiss ko to. Haha. (paints half of the chicken)

Gusto mo itry?

Miranda: okay. (paints the neck. And then...rrrrrrrrrrrip.)

AHHHH! Ang laki ng butas! Kamay mo na lang gamitin natin!

Ishi: okay. Dahan-dahan lang kasi. (paints a part then....rrrrip!)HAHAHAHA

(we were all tipsy at that time)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miranda: lagyan natin ng mga streamers sa baba ni Philip.

Ishi: o sige, lahat ng colors?

Miranda: o cge. (cuts a strips of jap paper one by one)

Ishi: err,miranda, bakit hindi mo na lang itupi tapos gupitin natin?

Miranda: oo nga no. di ko naisip yun a!

HAHAHA. I guess Miranda was all tipsy from all the acrylic emulsion.

We finished Philip right on time! Yay! Makis and i commuted back to ateneo to catch the Simbang gabi. :P commuting was such an achievement! Wooohoo!

We made it back alive!

Wednesday.Dec 19, 2007

  • English and Lit was a freecut! We also had a Secret Santa Exchange gift thing during english time but Dennis didn’t arrive soooooo my blockmates and I ate my gift! Ferrero gardennnnn! :D
  • Commuted to UP with blockmates.
  • Watched the UP lantern parade! (the lanterns/floats were just so amazing)

Here are some:


sakay na!



my fave float! the "fingers" actually move to the music. (pati ung drumsticks)

  • For about 20 minutes, i felt so lost in UP that i wanted to cry! I said bye to my blockmates and decided to join Makis and Miranda at the parade. I walked and tried looking for them for about 20 minutes! And i thought i was never going to find them! i thought of the worst cases that could happen (that if i couldn’t find them, i’d have to walk back to the sakayan (which is another 20 minute walk) and commute back to ateneo alone and attend the mass alone, or that i’d run out of load or realize that my phone ran out of batt and then i couldn’t call dad to pick me up if something bad would happen to me.) it was traumatizing! I didn’t know anyone! And UP is just so HUGE! And it was so darrrrk! I could just fall into somewhere and nobody would hear me scream or whatever. Oh well, I did find them and was able to carry Philip! Hahaha! It was so darn heavy! Bilib ako kay Miranda kung paano niya nabuhat iyon habang tumatakbo at nagparada ng 2 oras. AJ, makis, and I took turns carrying Philip. It was fun being part of the parade. :)

Girl1: ay!!! Tingan mo! (points at Philip) ang cute ng turtle!!!!

Okay na sana e. kaso hindi e. hindi naman turtle si Philip. Saring manok si Philip okay? Manok. Hindi blimp. At hindi rin isda. Manok!

We trekked back to the FA building and waited for the guard to open Miranda’s classroom. We also happened to pass by the Comfort room.....

Now i know why Miranda was close to tears when she used our bathroom in ateneo.

Miranda: (comes out of the cubicle) naiiyak ako. Ang linis!!!!

Ishi: uhhh...bakit sa UP ba madumi?

Miranda: soooobra! Dati nga may ahas pa sa banyo e.

Miranda: lipat kang UP!!!!

Ishi: ayoko. Mamimiss ko CR dito sa Ateneo.

Sabihin na lang natin hindi kaaya-aya ang amoy sa banyo nila. You could smell it a mile away. HAHAHA

After some sighs, Miranda brought us back to Ateneo.

But during our trip, we were so bangag! We even made a song about how bad our feet hurt and how the parade was so tiring! Hahaha. I bet AJ was just weirded out!

Miranda: kukunin kong language, French.

Ishi: jap na lang! para tulungan na lang kita! Watashitachi wa kawaii! (we are cute!)

Miranda: may alam naman akong jap e. Nanny? (what?)

Ishi: nyek. Chukaremashitane. (i’m tired.)

Miranda: nanny? Nanny? Nanny?

Ishi: shakes miranda’s head...(miranda still chanting “nanny?!”)

HAHAHA.

(okaaay. That was enough UP adventure for one week!)

Dad told me that he saw me on TV!!! Wooohoo! Hahaha :P

  • Pigged out at Reyes barbeque!


Thursday. Dec 20 2007.

  • Gateway with Makis and Josel!!!
  • Sang our hearts out in Karaoke! Hahaha people from outside were giving us weirded out stares, but we didn’t care! (we sang: wannabe, beep, hey ya, i’m a barbie girl, chiksilog, goodbye to you, etc.) i’ll post the vids! HAHA.
  • Timezone mania baybeh!
  • Simbang gabi with josel and makis! Wiii!

Friday. Dec 21,2007

  • Block party at Bel 301. Had some games and an exchange gift thingy. (we were to form a circle and pass the gifts according to the directions that the story “says”. Panay left and right kasi ung story e. ) our theme for the gifts: something fun, impractical, and wild. Most of the gifts were prank items (tae, extended hand, electrocuting pen, jumping spiders, etc. ) oliver’s gift was the most impractical ever. He took a sepia picture of himself and framed it! HAHAHA
  • We had a KFC picnic at the Bellarmine field! Yup! Under the stars and the xmas lights! Yeah! So romantic, right! (NOT!) after an hour of eating, the boys started the water fight! Hahaha! They filled up ice bags (the big ones) and cornered mam Libby. Hahahaha!

  • Then.........water fight na!!!! we had about 200 bags of water so we were really drenched!!!! Parang hinulog ako sa pool! At masakit kapag hindi pumutok iyong water bag sa iyo. HAHAHA. It was soo much fun!!! Oliver even used Soda when there weren’t any water bags left. :| ewwww, it was so sticky! Hahaha. We all “took a bath” after in bellarmine! Hahaha. Ung gripo sa tabi ng bellarmine? Ayun, dun kami naligo.

  • For some stupid reason, i didn’t bring any shorts...soooo i felt so icky because i had to wear my soda-drenched pants. We even used the men’s CR because the women’s CR didn’t have a hand dryer for some weird reason! The smell inside was icky too. Oliver also swung the door open and saw some things. Good thing i had my shirt on!!!! Hahaha poor them.

i love kaye :D

before: dry & warm (before the water fight)

drying our clothes in the men's bathroom

lesson learned: always bring an extra pair of shorts when you know there's gonna be a water fight

Saturday. Dec 22,2007
  • Went to the folded and hung outlet store!!! Gosh! It was so tiring! It was also frsutrating because most of the sizes were XS, S, nad XL! And the Small would’t fit!!! Arrrgh! It was such a waste! I did manage to get some shorts and bag though. But going there wasn’t worth it as i expected! It’s not the same as in the US. in the US, you really can’t feel that what you’re buying are reject items because they’re still nice! You also don’t have to swim through the piles to get a decent find!

  • Watched a Sibol play! ZOMG! Balik ugaling high school talaga! I’m in love with totoy high school boys again! HAHA. I love Sibol the best. :D Tanghalang Ateneo, BlueRep, and Entablado are just a bit too serious for me. Sibol really has the best combination for me. there were a lot of dances, songs, a bit of jokes, punches of passion, and a whole lot of eye candy to boot! Hahaha! I think i’m on my way in becoming a pedophile! Hahaha. Really! It was like a stroll down memory lane! I felt like I was a mom! Sabi ko “grabe, ang laki na nila! Dati, ang liit lang nila.” Aww the memories! (stalking days!) HAHAHA. Renz was pretty surprised how i knew most of the sibolistas’ names and year levels! HAHAHA. :P it was fun watching again! Never will i ever outgrow Sibol. <3

that was my best week ever. i hope you had a great one as well! Merry Christmas!

santa claus is coming to town

it's my last week before my xmas break! wooohoo! things have gotten lighter too. i guess the teachers are too excited to give us requirements.

but i've been quite busy too ya know. i've been coming in and out of the library in hope of finding something worth borrowing for my eng paper. it's really frustrating though. i haven't found any book directly related to my topic and the books that "looked promising" were already checked out by someone else. :(

by the looks of it, english will be a hefty load this sem. by mid-january i have to submit the 1st draft of my paper and i still i have no idea how to start.

i only need one more source for my bibliography though! maybe tomorrow i could find more in the lib. :)

i'm also looking forward to tomorrow night! i'm going to have a date with makis. :P a simbang-gabi date.

i always loved the Gesu Church and the charming lighted trees at night. :) it'll be so much fun! this year, i'm really going to complete the 9-day simbang-gabi thing! never have i completed it so....this year, i'm going to complete it! :D ( nice analogy dude)

i feel Christmas-y already. i've even downloading a bunch of xmas songs in limewire to add the xmas cheer while i do my schoolwork too.

oh well. seeya around! i'm off to do my Japanese assignment!

don't forget to go to the simbang-gabi tomorrow at Gesu! it starts at 830. :) there will also be a xmas bazaar and a lot of bibingka stands at bellarmine field so come and join! :D

okay, that's enough advertising for now.

ganyan ang high school. ganyan rin sana ang kolehiyo.

i'll simply die when i don't have you guys

originally,i was supposed to mope around the whole night or even for the whole week because of today. i thought that i experienced the worst day ever of my college life.

my ym stat:
had an effing bad day :'(

many asked through ym why, and hmm? the only person who i truly told everything to was makis because she was the first one who asked. and for the rest who asked, i appreciate your concern. :) but telling it to everyone will be quite a chore, coz my bad day story was worth at least 30 minutes of your time. but really, thank you for all those who tried to cheer me up. i'm not having the worst day after all. :)

sometimes, when you feel so bad, it's also the time when you realize how much people care about you. i just happened to chat with some people i thought wouldn't even bother to IM me or even ask because it's been a while since i last talked to them. but hey, they still tried to cheer me up. :) and as much as how weird this may sound, i'm actually somewhat thankful that i had a bad day. without it, i wouldn't have been able to experience all the "love" that you guys offered . i am touched. really.

here are some "clips" that made my sprits lift up:
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:03 PM): ocge!
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:11 PM): anu ba yun kasi?!?!?
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:15 PM): wats the problem?!?!!?
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:22 PM): naku pag alam mo na number ko
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:33 PM): call me at pupunthn kita everytime ganyan nararamdaman mo
makish_fly (12/11/2007 7:59:36 PM): !!!!!
makish_fly (12/11/2007 8:05:29 PM): ishi kaya mo yan!!! ---PERO SHIFT KA SA ECE OKEI LNG!

neng :P (12/11/2007 8:36:19 PM): (panoorin mo na lang video ni jc na nag ttap dance.. baka matawa/matuwa ka hehehe
neng :P (12/11/2007 9:05:00 PM): people love you!!! hehe >:D<>:D<>:D<>:D<
raffiiee_i428 (12/11/2007 9:08:47 PM): we all have those......
raffiiee_i428 (12/11/2007 9:08:56 PM): tapos lilipas din

and to trong, hands down ako sa iyo. her stat was :
"i had a fucking bad day :(("
then..
"ishi had an effing bad day. cheer her up!"

hehe, thanks so much guys! even though it may seem like a little "hello" or hug from you, it made me so happy.

heck, the last time i was able to talk to neng was ages ago! hahaha :P

looking back, my bad day isn't that bad after all. :)

just a quick update.

i'm kinda stressed right now. physics hasn't been good to me. sir culaba is still in mexico. (yes! bueno nacho! el diablo! el terrible!) and the sub sucks.

english and lit has been relatively light though. we had freecuts for both subjects yesterday but the freecuts were spent going up and down the stairs of the library for our quiz. it's really tiring coz it's not the usuual quiz where you just document or cite the books, you really have to look for the books, and then do something about it.

example:
1. enumerate all the chapter titles of book blahblah
2. paraphrase what the author had to say in the november issue of the chronicle review (tae. 20 pages ung article)
3. copy the 1st paragraph of book blah blah
4. what is jacques lacan concept of the imaginary?
5. what is the year of the cynthia's thesis blahblah..
6. who wrote the article in chapter 7 in book blah blah

it was really tiring but it was also fun in some sense. i felt a bit proud for being able to look and "race" others for books. we only had 2 hours because the lib closed early yesterday. welll at least cathy and i are done already. :)

on tuesday, i'll be having my first long test for math. waaa i'm nervous. :( i'm usually unlucky when it comes to these. so please o please, help me God!

i'll also be having my first prelims for arnis on tuesday! waa i'm also nervous! i'm afraid that i won't be able to perform the combinations in front of sir. :/

on the more positive note, i'm still enjoying my japanese class :) even though our teacher is so hard core. we tackled hiragana in 2 weeks, another 2 weeks for katakana, and who-knows/what's-next. gosh. bien said that in his jap class, they were still in hiragana! arrgh! and their class was so slowpaced! waaa. i do hope my test2 score comes out well. i must ace this class! coz i know i'll be having a hard time acing my other subs especially physics and math11.

i also got seriously pissed when i was told that the ITm diagnostic was moved to january. arrgh. i spent hours studying for that stupid test and they're going to postpone it?! it's just unfair coz most of the poeple i know didn't even bother to study, and now they're rejoicing! i really need those 3 units for the summer kasi. i have to lighten my load. and hello, extra bayad pa yun.

something happened yesterday. when i was on my way to the shed where i was supposed to be picked up, something entered my mind. "hmm. my horoscope says that i need not to look far for love. love is just under my nose. so...let's say, the first person i'll bump into will be that person. nothing serious. i know that i won't bump into someone i know anymore coz hello, i'm going home already. and i'm just waiting for my sundo." then i heard someone shout out "ish!ish! hintayin mo ako!"

i turned my head...and whadya know... HAHAHAHA

tang ina. sana hindi ko na lang sinabi yun sa utak ko. sobrang natawa lang ako sa sarili ko.

pfft. nevermind. it was just so funny. i was so convinced that i wasn't going to bump into anyone tapos biglang...

:P

don' t worry, i'm not taking that seriously. :D

and oh, here are some of the pics of our poetry grpwork:



meet joey and his evil conscience. >:) bwahaha

put it in purse



watch this. it's so soo funny. i swear, i couldn't stop laughing! put it in purse!

oh yeah, miranda, here's the pic that you wanted. FYI, miranda made this bloomie pin for me! hehe :P

Tadaima!

i haven't been posting anything for a while in both my blog and multiply lately. i guess i'm just too busy OR too lazy? i think it's more of the latter one.

anyhoo, today is Bonifacio day so it's a holiday. Thank God for Andres and his "sugod lang ng sugod" mentality. hihi :P after years and years, he gave us the luxury of having a day off. hands down, lolo Andres.

i'm experiencing an eye strain right now after self-teaching myself to use Mail merge in MS Word, Pivot table in Excel, and reviewing stuff in Powerpoint. and my eyes are tearing up.which is kinda weird since i'm so used to gluing myself in front of the pc. and yeah, next week i'll be taking the ITM diagnostic exam. sheesh. i really need to pass that darn test! if not, i'll waste another 3 units of my 9 unit limit during the summer. sayang din iyon. i really need to gather all my available units to "lighten" my load for my 2nd yr. coz you know, Accounting and Calculus aint easy to juggle in one sem.

please, o, please! let me pass this freakin' ITM test! ugh. and you know how i am with the subject Computer. I may have practically spent a quarter of my lifetime in front of the pc, but that doesn't mean that I'm an expert. bleh. good thing there won't be any C++ programming during my college life. i'll simply die if i find out that there is some sort of programming subject that i have to take. as i know, if i pass the diagnostic, i won't have to take any other comp subject! whopee! the hard part? i still HAVE to pass it. and hello? isn't it obvious that ITM wasn't made for you to pass easily? coz if it was, then why did they put it during the summer time? if it's that easy, they should have just put it in our second sem.

just wish me luck on this. :) i usually clam up when it comes to these.

and...
my whole body dreadfully hurts right now. it's all thanks to Arnis and my oh-so great teacher. according to him, our class was the "weakest", and to "cure" that, we won't have any breaks of any sort. for a whole hour, we had to "palo lang ng palo".

"sige pa!"

tang ina.

i'm not exagerrating, i have two huge blisters on my hands. i actually thought that they were just exagerrating that arnis will make your hands bleed and bruise coz the sticks didn't look rough at all. in fact, they are somewhat varnished and are actually very smooth.

but no.

after hours of "palo lang ng palo!", matutuklap talaga balat mo.

oo.

masakit.

doi.

and i've been putting on spongebob squarepants band-aids on my blisters to ease the pain. it does help. a bit.

oh well. just you wait. if you think that i have an unbelievable punch, wack, or "hampas" right now, what more after this sem? oo, matakot na talaga kayo kapag makikipagharutan kayo sakin a? haha >:)

of course, i'll punch with a little love and care. :D

and i was so happy the other day! we got our long tests back in Japanese class. annnnd i got an A! yay! :D i got one mistake though. hihi :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
we were supposed to go out as a block yesterday. but for some untimely coup de etat, there were only 4 of us. :( and then we became three...and then there was only the two of us. nice one! :\

oh well, renz and i just watched Enchanted. ZOMG! it was so cute! haha. nakakapanggago talaga ung ibang scenes. =)) i also beat his ass in Air Hockey and Time crisis! HAH! :P

we managed to go home before the curfew! thank god! haha! pano kaya kung naabutan kami? adventure yun. makulong for one night. =)) i guess i would just have to experience that some other time. :P

breather

wow. it's been a while since i last blogged. a bit intriguing isn't it? anyhoo, i'm just killing time right now. i'm waiting for ate's call in ym for our weekly family chat. today was lola's bday celebration. it was held here in our house. it wasn't classic grand but it was definitely grand. yesterday, we spent the whole day decorating the house. we literally "wrapped" the whole house with ribbons, streamers, shiny ornaments, crepe balls, and xmas wrapping paper. i swear, i'm not exagerrating! we wrapped the whole terrace with xmas wrappers. it was tita boots' idea. she wanted our house to look like a big shiny present. i'll try to post the pics asap.

my first week in ateneo was generally light. there were no heavy projects or the like. i also loooove my new teachers! :D sir campomanes is so THE MAN. err, maybe THE UNSTRAIGHT MAN. :D i so love him! he calls himself as Mr Liberal coz he's not into traditional teaching! he also lives by the "Quality over Quantity" rule so i bet this sem will be a whooper. :D he also came from Brown University, Yale, and Harvard, so we're really sure that he knows what he's doing. he also hates "the other school" because he finds them too uptight and accdg to him, "the other school" plans to subtly "diminish" Lit in their curriculum or something like that. he also loves making things informal and comical so at least i have one class i'm sure i won't sleep in.

sir Campomanes: whenever i hear a deep word, i always experience a mental orgasm.
class: =))...
sir Campomanes: yes, in my class, do expect a lot of sex...i mean a lot of deep words.

he is certainly divine. :)

i've been spacing out during my physics classes. i think i'm losing my touch. oh well, it happens.

my japanese classes are so fun! well at least for me it is. i was so excited to learn japanese, that i answered all the exercises in the book in 2 days! haha. and i'm proud to say that i can read & write japanese already! woohoo! im so enjoying that class. :) the only problem is, i have yet to understand the characters that i've been reading and writing. it kinda beats the purpose if i can only read, write, and speak japanese when i still can't understand what it means. haha. but i so feel proud of myself for teaching myself :D

last friday, me and my blockmates went to gateway! woohoo! :D we were: RJ, julia, kaye, oliver, mark, pau, rex, ailene, and lorraine. haha could you believe that we all fit in the van? we just pigged out at the food court and had our own doses of arcade fun! wiii basketball, time crisis 3, initial D, Ocean Adventure, and dance revo! :D and are you familiar with the game where you have to wack the crocodiles whenever they come out? haha guess what! we played that game and i think we kinda destroyed it?! HAHA i guess our wacks were so intense that the machine went ballistic right after :))

after that, my blockmates went home na. only RJ and i were the ones left. haha it was so funny! we had an ice cream date! HAHAHA =)) i so love haagen dazs strawberry ice cream! <3

anyhoo, it's getting late. i guess i better hit the sack already. my 1st class tom is Intact, so yay! i can get to see my blockmates again. :)

effing english

i just received my grades yesterday. hay. it was quite sad actually. it wasn't depressing, but it wasn't exactly euphoric either. i got a C+ for english which is really disappointing. i at least expected a B for it. all my papers and quizzes would at least have an average of a B or a B+ so i really can't see how i got a C+. the last time we asked our eng teacher she told us that she based the biggest percentage of the grade to recitation. fuck that mehn. isn't english 11 a writing class? and besides, there aren't much opportunities to recite in the first place. bruha talaga. oh well, whining and being a sour ass won't do me any good. life truly isn't fair.

on the bright side of my grades, i got my first A. :D and it' so ironic! i got an A in Fil! haha! back in high school i would get the lowest grade in Fil but now....i managed to get an A! woohoo. it's really surprising. Lit was also good to me, though i still think that if Rex and Julia's teacher would replace my eng and lit teachers, i could have gotten a higher grade. lit is so easy for them. my teacher asks the most highfaluting questions in her essays. and yes, she does give Fs and Ds. oh well. again, i can't be this whiny brat. i got a B, which is pretty okay since i've worked my ass on that subject! but then again, i couldn't get a higher grade because you really can't study Lit. it's something that comes out naturally. IMAO. in ateneo, i guess you really have to force yourself to understand lit. hmm a bit of an oxymoron don't you think? forced natural feel?

altogether, i got a QPI of 3.15. i guess it's a good start. the required QPI for being a Dean's lister is 3.35 so i guess it's a good start.

i just got sad when i saw my parents' reactions. they said it was good and okay. WHATTHEFUCK i worked my effing ass on my studies and all they could say is that?! i actually got more disappointed when they told me that. hay dyahe talaga.

i guess i really have to make the super duper extra effort in Ateneo.

this beats bumming anyday


yay! i'm also done with my mosaic vase :P haha you see that picture? that's all the sides of the vase. haha ask me how i was able to take a picture of all the sides. haha what i did was a result of pure laziness. i used the scanner. and i "rolled" the vase whenever the light scan thingy would move. hahaha!

doing the mosaic vase wasn't as easy as it looked. sheesh. the grout was so messy that i was sitting on the toilet cover the whole time as i washed the grout off in my basin. my basin was so messy that i had to clean it with thinner. haha. i did all those in the middle of the night! haha and it was nov 1! :)) oh well, "nothing" visited me anyway.

and it was so funny! when i smashed the glass tiles with a hammer, mom thought that there was some sort of construction going on in my room! haha :)) oh well.

some brownie points for me

[edit]

finally after weeks of bumming around, i've finally done something productive! wooohoo for me! :D i rummaged through ate's old japanese books and managed to get a few that sparked my interest. ate also has some manga! :P but after an hour of two trying to comprehend the vowels and consonants of kanji, romaji, and the "other one", i gave up. hahaha. i'll just leave all my "suffering" to the rest of the sem.

anyhoo, here are some of the works that i've done do far for the last 2 days. you could tell that i have nothing better to do with my time :P

it's been quite a while since i last held a paintbrush, so it's rusty. my hands kept on trembling. hmm i wonder why. that never happened to me before.

i know they aren't any good but i'm just too proud of myself for doing something besides frying my ass in front of the computer or pigging out in front of the tv.

i used Pentel watercolor for these:


geesh. i almost forgot how hard it is to control watercolor.
this is Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club. i think this was the episode where they went to a beach and Tamaki got mad at her for standing up for the girls who were getting harassed. this was also the ep where Kyoya told her about paying her debts. AND where Haruhi got scared of the thunder and embraced Tamaki. ahhhhh :X ZOMG i'm sounding like this fan girl freak-o again.


this is supposed to be hunny-senpai. also from Ouran. i know, the eye is effed up! arrrgh i couldn't fix it anymore because of the freaking watercolor! the blending went all wrong. just look at the right side! haha


this is supposed to be venice. i got the picture from someone else's Deviant and i'm really sorry but i can't remember whose DA was it. :/ i apologize for vandalising your very beautiful picture! i know it's kinda kiddie-made coz the proportions are messed up. but i still like the colors.

hehe that's about it for now. later, i may do some tile mosaic work. :P

i just realized that this is great! i' m doing something besides lazing around! woohoo! you gotta give me some props for that! :P

and for the longest time, i feel happy again coz i've finally done something this sembreak! :D

cheeri-ooo!

and i already have a foreign language this sem! wii :D i chose japanese since spanish was already full. who knows, i might actually understand all the anime i've been watching by the end of the sem :)

megan's also my classmate in arnis! yay! haha we woke up as early as 4 am just to enlist! thank God aisis and my faulty dsl didn't fail me! thank you! :D what was even funnier was how megan kept on buzzing me in ym! haha! let's just say she was a bit too paranoid :P at least we have one class together. :)

unfortunately, i didn't make it to ES or environmental sci. there weren't any slots left by 5 am. :( but it's ok, i already told myself that i wouldn't make it anymore since there were only 5 slots left the night before! hay :( i got physics, so i really hope that my physics mind would kick in this sem. besides, physics was one of my favorite subjects back in high school. and lemme tell you, that aint because of the hellish teacher! i do hope physics this sem will be good to me. please o please!

i'll be going back on nov 5 to claim my regform and pay for my tuition soooo it'll be hellish again. it'll be so hot and crowded. :( oh well, wish me luck :)

byers for now :) cheerioooo!
