Lihim ng Isang Tatay

2009-09-02T01:36:00.002+08:00

Matouch sana kayo. :]

Anak,

Medyo mabagal akong magsulat ngayon dahil alam kong mabagal ka ring magbasa. Nandito na kami sa Estados Unidos para bantayan ang bagong biling bahay ng kapatid mo. Pero hindi ko maibigay sa iyo ang address dahil dinala ng dating nakatira ang address para daw hindi na sila magpalit ng address.

Maganda ang lugar na ito at malayo sa Manila... Dalawang beses lang umulan sa linggong ito, tatlong araw noong una at apat na araw noong pangalawa. Nakakainis lang ang mga paninda dito katulad nun nabili ko na shampoo dahil ayaw bumula. Nakasulat kasi 'FOR DRY HAIR' kaya hindi ko binabasa ang buhok ko pag ginagamit ko. Mamaya ay ibabalik ko sa Walmart at magrereklamo ako.

Noong isang araw naman ay hindi ako makapasok sa bahay dahil ayaw bumukas ng padlock. Nakasulat kasi ay 'YALE', eh aba namalat na ako sa kasisigaw ay hindi pa din bumubukas. Magrereklamo din ako sa nagbenta ng bahay, akala nila hindi ko alam na SIGAW ang tagalog ng 'YALE', wise yata ito!

Mayroon nga pala akong nabili na magandang jacket at tiyak na magugustuhan mo. Ipinadala ko na sa iyo sa 'Federal Express' medyo mahal daw dahil mabigat ang mga butones kaya ang ginawa ko ay tinanggal ko na lang ang mga butones at inilagay ko na lang sa bulsa ng jacket. Ikabit mo na lang pag dating diyan.

Nagpadala rin ako ng tseke para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo , hindi ko na pinirmahan dahil gusto ko na maging anonymous donor. Nakakahiya naman kung ipagkakalat ko pa.

Ang kapatid mo palang si Jhun ay may trabaho na dito, mayroon siyang 500 na tao sa ilalim niya. Naggugupit siya ngayon ng damo sa memorial park, ang kita naman ay above minimum.

Nakapanganak na rin pala ang Ate Baby mo, hindi ko pa alam kung babae o lalaki kaya hindi ko pa masasabi na kung ikaw ay bagong uncle or auntie.

Wala na akong masyadong balita. Sumulat ka na lang ng madalas.

Love,
Fafah

P.S. Maglalagay sana ako ng pera, kaya lang ay naisara ko na ang envelope. Next time na lang ha.

If You Love Me For Me...

Blog assignment question #3:

How can you say that love is true? Cite examples.

Composed of three words and all in all eight letters, the sentence “I love you” is definitely one of those with the most intense meanings. It makes or breaks a person in love, and takes a big part in an individual’s life. Sometimes, though, people say that they love someone even as a joke. This makes it harder to discover that one true love everybody has been searching for. True love is truly one great mystery for every human alive.

In my dictionary, it means loving a person inside and out, signifying affection for a person you know dearly. Despite his major flaws, you learn to accept him for who he is. Instead of resorting to another person to love, you take your time in showing your care for that special person and trying to help him get through his hardships. Love is usually superficial and depends on looks, but sometimes this develops into something deeper which, you soon discover, is true.

There are times when a person has her standards but when she encounters the one person who doesn’t meet these standards but falls for him anyway, that might also mean true love. The point of true love is that it comes in all shapes and sizes, but only our hearts and minds know who is destined for us. We will know when we meet that person. By the time we experience our true love, we would have ended the search, but the mystery goes on.

The Truth about Gifts

2009-07-19T18:15:00.002+08:00

Blog assignment question #2:
Why do our blessings sometimes seem a disaster for us?

Occurrences, whether good or bad, are experienced by every person in the world. There is no such person who goes on in life without going through at least a bunch of hardships. This goes to show that whatever your stature is, no one’s life is perfect. Even those who can have every material thing they lay their eyes on have something missing in their lives. It seems like a rule – that fact that we really do have to have difficult times.

The only difference for every person, I think, is the way they view their lives and how they treat every problem. Whether they view it optimistically or not, that is their responsibility. Blessings which become disasters can be remedied by hard work and perseverance coming from the person. For example, making you lose your friends by being a very ambitious hot shot in a business shows a blessing, the fame of being a successful person, in turn makes a disaster of losing those dear to you. It is the way you do things that determines what would happen to your fate.

Sometimes, things do not turn out the way they seem. There are some good fortunes which later turn into an adversity for us. No matter how bad, however, we must not lose hope in the opposite – misfortunes turning into wonderful opportunities. Remember that big gifts come in small packages. We just have to see if that package enters our home by the door or the window of opportunities.

Schadenfreude

2009-07-19T18:11:00.006+08:00

Blog assignment question #1:
Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others?

A classmates slips, and a whole class laughs. A stranger on the street gets wet due to a fast speeding car running over a puddle, and one gets amused. On a higher level, a company goes bankrupt and another goes extremely happy. Why are there people who truly enjoy others’ adversity? Sometimes, a person just has to sit and wonder- what's wrong with them? Would it not be bad if our fellow was hurt, and with the pain, humiliation kicks in?

A primary reason why people do love seeing others at tight spots is jealousy. As is said, jealousy is one of the roots of evil, and is even one of the seven capital sins. Envy brings people to do drastic things just to get what we want, so being pleased at others misfortunes would be little.

However, this is not the only case. There is this matter of material racing, where one competes with the superficial riches of another. Little do they know that this is not all that is needed in life, but also being able to share these riches to others so that your life would be worthwhile. With the thinking of a typical modern person, the purpose of living would be to gain enough money to live comfortably. Therefore, those who live with all the amenities available to them would be envied by those who don't.

Yes, we need money for practically everything, but the natural way of things say we should live a life not revolving on earthly riches. Not all are blessed to be on top, and that's why we have to prove we deserve to be there too. That does not start with being happy at other's fall. Instead we sport healthy respect and compassion for others, and be contented with how we climbed the ladder to success. Let's just all be muditas, and rejoice in the happiness of others. :]

Anchor Baby. Tim Burton.

2009-07-19T17:53:00.003+08:00

There was a beautiful girl
who came from the sea.
And there was just one place
that she wanted to be.

With a man named Walker
who played in a band.
She would leave the ocean
and come onto the land.

He was the one
that she wanted the most.
And she tried everything
to capture this ghost.

But throughout all their lives
they never connected.
She wandered the earth
alone and rejected

She tried looking happy
she tried looking tragic,
she tried astral projecting,
sex, and black magic.

Nothing could join them,
except maybe one thing, just maybe
something to anchor their spirits..
They had a baby.

But to give birth to a baby
they needed a crane.
the umbilical cord
was in the form of a chain.

I t was ugly and gloomy,
and as hard as a kettle.
It had no pink skin,
just heavy gray metal.

The baby that was meant
to bring them together,
just shrouded them both
in a cloud of foul weather.

So Walker took off
to play with the band.
And from that day on,
he stayed mainly on land.

And she was alone
with her gray baby anchor,
who got so oppressive
that eventually sank her.

As she went to the bottom,
not fulfilling her wish,
it was her, and her baby...
and a few scattered fish.

Barahin ang Pasubali!

2009-06-21T23:43:00.002+08:00

Note: I love this song, trip ko lang ang barahin to. Malakas ang tama ko.

Kung pwede lang wag mo na 'tong iwasan... Sino ba ang umiiwas?
At 'wag mo ring ituring na biro... Sino ba nagbibiro?
Marahil 'to'y 'di mo inaasahan... Wala namang umaasa.
Pero sana'y 'wag ipinid ang pinto... Nasan ang pinto!?

Itikom ang bibig... Sara na.
Mata'y ibaling sa 'kin... Hello, bulag ako.
Pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko... Bingi rin pala.

Chorus
Kailan mo ba matutunan? Mamaya.
Kailan mo ba 'pagsisigawang... Bukas.
'di mo na 'pagkakailang tayo? Bukas nga!
Kay rami nang pinagdaanan... Oo na,
Ano pa ba ang 'yong kailangan? Isang house and lot at Mercedes Benz.
Nagsusumamo na sabihin mo. Fine.

Ang diwa ko'y tigib sa kaiisip... Talaga lang ha?
Sa sarili'y laging may kinikimkim... Baka B.O. lang yan.
Patuloy lamang bang mananaginip? Oo.
At mananatili lang na nakapikit? Yes?

Ako'y mayro'ng batid... Ows?
Ito'y iyong pag-amin. Asa ka.
Hindi na natin maiiwasan 'to... OWS!? Kayang-kaya!

Pagmulat ng mata
Agad kong naalala
Kagabi sinabi mong ayaw mo na
May mali ka bang nakita?
May mali bang nagawa?
Bigla na lang naisip mong ayaw mo na...

Lahat ng gusto mo
Tamang sunod ako
Nagtataka bakit biglang ayaw mo na
Nabigla ko ng lubusan
Nang ako iyong aking iwanan
Isang iglap naisip mong ayaw mo na...

Lumingon sandali lang
Bago mo tuluyang iwan
Nais kong

Sumigaw, palabas
At sasabihin sayo ang lahat
Tumakbo, palayo
At iiwanan na ang alaala mo

Nanginginig, nalulungkot, nahihibang, at tulala
Pagod na yata ang ngiti
Nauubos din ang tuwa
Nag-iisa, umiiyak, nahihirapang huminga
Pagod na yata ang ngiti
Nauubos din ang tuwa
Nanginginig nalulungkot

Lumingon sandali lang
Bago mo tuluyang iwan
Nais kong

Sumigaw, palabas
At sasabihin sayo ang lahat
Tumakbo, palayo
At iiwanan na ang alaala mo

At kung hindi na babalik
Sana sa pag-gising ay wala na ang nadaramang sakit
At kung hindi na babalik
Pilit sasabihin na hindi ako nagkamali

Sumigaw, palabas
At sasabihin sayo ang lahat
Tumakbo, palayo
At iiwanan na ang alaala mo

Sumigaw, palabas
At iiwanan na ang alaala mo
Tumakbo, palayo
At iiwanan na ang alaala mo

I miss second year days, although it wasn't much fun. :'(

Now Who's Gonna Dance with Me?

2009-06-17T19:00:00.011+08:00

I have one crazy addiction these days, and that is to Careless Whisper. If you were to stay in my room, you would be fed up with the ever-repeating versions of Seether and the hip hop remix by Ken feat. Cory Gunz. However, I'm not, and I don't plan to be.

I think the CW craze started when Besh Kat shared that she sang this in karaoke. I then searched for the song in Youtube, and voila! Addiction. XD

-=-=-=-=-

I don't think the song deserves that connotation that people give it. It definitely isn't sensual, except for the sax intro. It describes something that happened between friends, and that something changed the relationship between the two. It does not deserve to be the theme song of every sex video scandal like Hayden and Katrina's.

The whole essence of the song somewhat implies a mistake made, bot not really a sexual one. Besides, it focuses more on adultery, or some other form of disloyalty.

So please. When you go and make a sex video [which I encourage you not to do, honestly.] pick some rap or RnB song which directly implies going nuts in bed with a member of the opposite sex.

I think I made my point. :]

When I Look at the Stars...

2009-06-14T08:59:00.003+08:00

Things are getting more and more unbelievable.

Irrational.

Impossible.

Yet happening. O_O

I really can't grasp how my life is turning out these days. This Tenten is not the one that I know. I do not understand how I get into these kinds of situations.

Is he playing? Am I rebound? Is love a game?

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, THIS BEAT IS SICK,
I WANNA TAKE A RIDE ON YOUR DISCO STICK...

I WANNA KISS YOU, BUT IF I DO THEN I MIGHT MISS YOU, BABE.
I SO do not wanna kiss him [or do I!?], but the fact remains that if I get deeper, I can't get out of the hole I'm in. I might just get hurt, and if I do, who in the world would know what would happen to me? ARGH.

I must concentrate on my studies, but I can't concentrate without him. Weird, but true. I haven't felt this before, ever! :(

I must help myself. I can do this! I will do my best, and keep my promise to everyone, including him.

Just keep that in mind, Tenten. You can do it. AJA~

GOOD!

The Encounter [Review Day 5]

2009-04-18T08:53:00.005+08:00

EM BORED.

Don't get me wrong, everyday's becoming better. But lessons are getting more dull.

But, tables have turned! English is duh best! I love reading comprehension. However, I hate Math word problems! So tasky... T-T

Andy was so cute again. His voice is nice. I'd love for him to say my name. *NOOOO! DO NOT SUCCUMB TO TEMPTATION!*

And on to the ENCOUNTER...

When classes are over, I usually use the stairs instead of riding the elevator. I think it's so that I will feel some warmth after staying in the cold depths of our class room. Anyway, that time, Andy was about to ride the elevator too, but when he saw me going down the stairs, he also used the stairs. o.O

What's more is that in the log in/out place, he stood beside me. When he got his card and stayed outside [waiting for his friends, I suppose] and I got my card, our eyes met. Twice. I suddenly bent my head forward but looked at him. It seems he also bent his head forward, but he was smiling. I smiled too, but I don't think he saw that. And off I go to home.

I didn't have a seatmate today. I hope he sits beside me next time. XD

Tenten

No Day but TODAY. || day 4 ||

2009-04-16T19:27:00.006+08:00

Although the topics get harder, class gets better. Three more girls have become my friends! That makes 6. Those three,as I call the Tres Marias, were beside me yesterday as well. One of them said hi to me then blah and blah.. One of them is from Cavite too. Whoa. XD They are nice, but during class they are pretty noisy, keeping on laughing. One of them, the one nearest me, kept asking me questions in Math! *pride swelling*

The boy beside me, I think, is kinda weird and a geek. Math addict much? He was the one who caused me to answer the rest of the tests without our teacker saying so. He's also good in Science, I believe. NERD MUCH!? Brat-like guy.. >.<" Speaking of Math, I love it! Our topic: Quadratic Fuctions! My second year lurve... What about Science? My seatmate asked me if I finished my homework [which I did, surprisingly] and asked me if she can copy. WTH!? I just said I guessed the answers.. XP I hate the guy behind me, he keeps on kicking the legs of my chair. Damn him. I wanted to give him a glare, but I figured he would be scared of me. XD The way Andy speaks, laughs, and smiles is truly very cute. TEMPTATION!!! I already have my Romeo!! Speking of, when I saw the sideview profile of a classmate.. Shit! He looked like MY ROMEO! o.O

Tenten

Day 3, better for me.

2009-04-15T20:27:00.006+08:00

Yeheeessss.... I'm not late; I arrived six minutes before 7:30. Actually, when I arrived, the Math teacher [who, I have not metioned, is astonishingly named Rhea and is chinky-eyed, like Ma'am Rhea Cesa] was waiting for the elevator. 'Hot dang!' I said. The two Koreans with Andy were in the log in place and they were taking so long to log in.. *sigh*

When I arrived by the door, I said "hello world!" the pushed it. It didn't open. Turns out, I pushed the wrong side of the dorr. Anyone observing my actions would say "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" [Like Midou-sama from Full House Kiss!? XD] Anyway... the two people even later than me? Some girl and.. ta-dah! ANDY! That was one time I wished I arrived later, so I could have ridden the elevator with him. *sighs again*

This day has been great! My bladder wasn't bothering me at all! Maybe it's because of my caoxing it "Learn to hold! Learn to warn!" yesterday. Kukuku~~~

I love the lesson in Math, probably because it was 3rd year [functions] and 2nd year [radical expressions] Math, which are my faves. XD

I wonder how Sam is even higher than me in English vocabulary tests... T.T Also, I realize that my name is hard to pronounce if it was the first time a person has seen and read it. *sighs the third time*

English is sooo disappointing! My scores are oh-so-low. Goldarnit. XC But woohoo! I have the same score as Andy! :]

Hospital Stay. [Random Thought #2]

2009-04-14T21:00:00.005+08:00

Note: This is in the guy's POV. The guy's name is Regan. The girl's name is Kate. The setting is in the US. I do not know the real travel time from London to US. I pictured the girl to be Jennifer Love Hewitt. Lights, camera, ACTION! Let's begin.

I went to London a few weeks ago, handling things for my company. I was busy with work. I didn't know anything.

One day, while I was eating my brunch, I was given some damn shocking news.

They called me, saying she's dying. What the hell.

WHAT THE HELL.

WHAT THE HELL!? IS THIS FOR REAL!?

My world crumbled. Everything was blank. God damn, I think my mind never got to process much, but I called the airlines and within the next hour, I was on my way to my homeland.

It was a good thing that I was done with everything and that I was about to leave London the next day. I couldn't let her leave me. Shit. I just couldn't. Blackout.

Next thing I knew, I was being woken up by the stewardess, saying we are about to land soon. My heart suddenly jumped, which is a reaction my body doesn't usually encounter.

Damn that woman, she changed me a lot.

Hospital, 7 AM.

I kept on running, looking for Kate. My Kate. Room 307. When I arrived, a doctor and two nurses were at the back. I pushed them aside.

"You came," she said weakly.

"Of course I came. What-"

"Thank you for everything. The past year would not have been what it is to me if you weren't there. I can't believe this is happening..."

"Nothing is happening. You're just lying here, talking to me. Nothing's gonna happen."

"Face it Regan. Something's happening, okay? There's noth-"

I kissed her then. That was the first time. I know it was weak of me to admit it, but during the one year of our relationship, we haven't kissed even once! I can' believe this might be the last. I held her until she signaled me to let her go. I didn't let her out of my arms, though.

She limped.

With me immersed in emotion, I didn't notice the bustling of people around me.

They were moving things in the room.

WHAT THE HELL.

~~~

"I really can't believe you tricked me like that."

"I really can't believe our first kiss was at a hospital!"

"Well... I can't believe my planned proposal was fulfilled at that hospital."

"What!? So you were planning on proposing to me when you came from London?"

"Yep. Stupid woman. Don't tell me..."

"Sorry, hun... I missed you... so I feigned everything. You never told me this before! You had to wait until our silver wedding anniversary!"

"Well, our hospital stay was nice, right? So what's the use? And I kissed you there for the first time, and you became my fiancee there. All's well that ends well."

Foreign Exchange Rate Review Day 2

2009-04-14T20:20:00.008+08:00

Okay, this was how my second day played out. When I woke up, it was freaking hot - turns out the electric fan was too focused on my foot. Again. I was late. Damn that. They were doing the speed drill when I arrived at class. The last seats available are at the back.

I chose to stay in the last row. Ohoho~ If not only for my darn bladder, I would've sad beside the cute Korean, Andy Kim, who was practically in front of me. Beside me were Sam and Ace, also Koreans.

God, Andy is so cute. XD

Andy! [Picture taken day 1, lunch time.]

I like Sam. He's cute, albeit not the looks but his means of speaking and moves. He says 'c' as "she"! He speaks English, though he talks to Ace in Korean. Some of the other reviewees look at the back, smile, then turn towards the board. Sam is also smart, as I've observed him answer many questions given correctly. I like him. As a friend, though. XD Oh yeah, he bumped my arm, and while saying sorry, he touched my arm. WTH!? XJ

I'M IN KOREA NOW! Hahaha!

There are only two bad things to be irritated about today.

My goldarn colds [now fortified with some cough!] and my hyperactive bladder. I think I'm the most frequent user of the comfort room. I hate standing up while the teacher was giving lectures or when we're about to check. Grr.

Anyway, this day was better than yesterday. Let's just see tomorrow, when my mom's not there and I'm alone. We'll see.

By the way, I think I'll be posting on a day-to-day basis for happenings during my 2-week review. *sigh* Next week, our classes are to be whole day. T-T

WAH.

2009-04-13T19:25:00.002+08:00

The first session begins, and I am dumped into hellhole.

I know absolutely NO ONE. I think I looked pretty darn stupid. I have colds, and sometimes when I sneeze there's that sound that makes me look as if I farted.

Oh hot damn. x[

And onto my colds!

Am I missing him, that's why I have this dreaded disease? Has the weather gone too bad to make me sick without rain?

To the class!

Good thing I somewhat made acquaintances with my seatmate. I saw her name in the paper: Anna dela Cruz. I think the other two people who talked to me are from the same school [I can't read the name :| ] as Anna. They are Rochelle and Angelica. Roch became my seatmate when Anna exchanged seats with her and Ange was beside me that day, although she just talked to me after lunch.

Oh yeah. There's this cute Korean guy [although he looks snobbish and naughty.. hehe] that has the same style as my t-shirt: white, with gold "shining shimmering splendid".

And back to my irritations!

I am irritated that my lunch box contains too many things. Grr.

From the start of the day, I hated it. I didn't think it wouldn't get better. Not even ATC made it better.

I wish he was texting me. Gah. It's true. I am missing him. Everywhere in the modules and tests is him! Darn it. It was not helping. At all. T-T

WAH!

I hope tomorrow's better.

Everyday...

2009-04-03T22:27:00.007+08:00

A tribute to graduates of CNSHS, batch 2008-2009, especially to those I am close to.

This is the last official day of school.

I cried. Again. I think it was even harder than my weeping episode last graduation. I hardly cry with my tears continuously flowing, but these days, doing just that is surprisingly easy.

It seems so ironic that within the past few days, I got even closer to some fourth years rather than ready myself for the goodbyes I am sure to say and hear.

Masochistic much? Nah. Just plain stupidity. Or not. It's just my normal naivety mixed with other people's kindness. The kindness you really opt to fall for, and choose not to ignore since it is too damn pleasing and irresistible.

I love you guys, and I'll miss you every moment you're away. I hope the next year ends fast, so I won't feel much. It would hurt to prolong depression. Visit often, to ease any pain to be felt.

Everyday, I'll be thinking of the smiles, the laughter, the gestures, the habits, and everything else you have imparted to me. And everyday, I'll try not to cry out of sadness. Instead, I'll keep smiling, knowing you became a part of my life, and I became part of yours.

Congratulations, and Godspeed.

Maybe not yesterday, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...
But you WILL miss it. And you will come back.

~~~~~~

It was the Intrams 2007 when I first saw you.

Since November 16, 2007, when I closed my eyes, it's you I see.

Now that I won't see you anymore, my tears are shed for you.

SEE? Ikaw lang ang araw ko.

Mamimiss ko sila, pero mas iiyakan kita. T.T

I am what you own.

I had hopes. He was holding my hand so tightly, and he caresses it. But then, i knew. I knew when she was in the room. He still loved her.

And she still loves him back.

If you were me, would you blindly ignore the truth and tell yourself it is just an illusion... or would you say to yourself, "Hey, you knew it all along. You asked for it." ? As of now, I tell myself... "This is better than nothing. At least I was able to hold your gaze for a while."

I thought of saying "Will you hold my hand and never let go? Will your eyes look only at me?" But he will never hold my hand, for his are stiff and full and I can never catch his attention, for his eyes are empty with longing for her.

No hope, no chance. I wasted my time, and I continue to do so. Lucky are those who do not get hurt for the person they love.

Shit Day.

2009-03-10T22:10:00.001+08:00

A stupid emotional slump.

I run to the bathroom.

The only things I sense are the pungent odor of the toilet and my tears.

'Shit,' I think.

From a high state, I immediately went into a slump. Oh that darn slump.

What the hell.

People do not, I REPEAT: DO NOT, have to point out that I am never gonna have a chance. They don't have to keep on going on telling me he's never gonna be mine.

Because HE ISN'T, and NEVER WILL BE.

~~~~

I wonder why I keep looking outthe window.. when I know he isn't there.

If Only...

2009-03-08T18:05:00.005+08:00

A love story.

NOTE: IF this doesn't touch you, you have no heart. AT ALL.

Daniel and Jasmine are sitting alone in the park one night....

Daniel: I guess we are the left overs in this world.

Jasmine: I think so... All of my friends have boyfriends and we are the only two persons left in this world without any special person in our lives

Daniel: Yup I don't know what to do

Jasmine: I know! We'll play a game

Daniel: What game?

Jasmine: For 30 days, I'll be your girlfriend and you will be my boyfriend.

Daniel: That's a great plan! In fact I don't have anything to do for the following weeks.

DAY 1:

They watched their first movie and they both became emotional because of a romantic film

DAY 4:

They went to the beach and had a picnic. Daniel and Jasmine had quality time together

DAY 12:

Daniel invited Jasmine to a circus and they went to a Horror House. Jasmine was scared and when she tried to touch Daniel's hand, she touched someone else's. They both laughed.

DAY 15:

They saw a fortune teller down the road and they asked for their future advice and the fortune teller said: "My darlings, please don't waste the your time. Spend the rest of your time together happily." Then tears flowed out from the teller's eyes.

DAY 20:

Jasmine invited Daniel to go to the hill and they saw a meteor. Jasmine mumbled something.

DAY 28:

They sat on the bus and because of a bumpy road,Jasmine gave her first kiss to Daniel by accident.

DAY 29:

11:37pm

Jasmine and Daniel sat in the park where they first decided to play this game...

Daniel: I'm tired, Jasmine.Do you want any drinks? I'll buy you one. I'll just go down the road.

Jasmine: Apple juice, that's all.

Daniel: Wait for me.

Fifteen minutes later, a stranger approached Jasmine

Stranger: Are you a friend of a person named Daniel?

Jasmine: Yes, why? Did something happen?

Stranger: A reckless drunk driver ran over him and he is critical in the hospital

11:57pm

The doctor went out of the emergency room and he handed out an apple juice and a letter

Doctor: We found this in Daniel's pocket.

Jasmine reads the letter and it says:

Jasmine,
These past few days, I realized that you are a really cute girl and I am really falling for you. Your smile, everything, I cherished. You were everything ever since we played this game. Before this game ends, I would like to ask you to be my girlfriend for the rest of my life. I love you, Jasmine.

The girl crumples the paper and shouted:

"Daniel! I don't want you to die! I love you! Remember that night when we saw a meteor, I mumbled something. I said that I wish we would be together forever and never end this game. Please don't leave me Daniel.... I love you too! You cannot do this to me!"

Then the clock strikes 12. Daniel's heart stop beating.

IT WAS THE 30TH DAY.

Always love your loved ones and show them how you feel before it is too late. You will never know when they will be gone from your embrace. If you were given a time to bestow petals of everlasting compassion and love to your loved ones, GRAB THAT CHANCE to say...

"I LOVE YOU AND I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO LET YOU GO."

To Romeo, with love

2009-02-21T22:40:00.002+08:00

Many people believe that first love never dies. However, I was not one of those many. I am a firm believer of "first does not always last". I was one who can easily move on with these kinds of heartaches. Do you think I really loved at those times? I think not. If I have gone along without any grave feeling of lingering admiration, could that have been my first love? I know it may be harsh, but I somehow suppose it is merely action carried away with emotion and situation.

However, there is a time in my life where a certain crush stayed inside my mind for too long. Although, at some point, I did not acknowledge my fondness for him, it suddenly reemerged. This was one person I could truly not let go. He is definitely not the first guy that I had a crush on, but I believe this person is my first true love.

We talk at times but we really do not engage in personal conversations. We have a connection in school, but greeting each other is not really a habit. I think this is for the better. I truly think that if I get more than glimpses of him, I will melt down and die. I always feel awkward when he is there, but I feel comfort and glee as well. Sometimes, I think that his eyes follow my moves and during those moments, my heart beats double time although I also think that I am just imagining him staring at me. When I close my eyes, it is usually his face that I see. I always look out of our classroom window just to see if he will pass by, anticipating for the time that I will see him. It feels wonderful, watching him close by.

I know that what I feel for him now is different from what I felt from other boys before. Although they brought out some feelings, it is the first time I have risked loving someone who gives me many disadvantages - he is about to graduate and more importantly, he is in love with someone else.

Although I have realized that he will never know what I feel, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to God for letting me meet this person and love him the way I do. Although he is in love with his Rosaline, and the end for the possibility of 'a time for us' is very near, he will always be my Romeo.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes...
~ Love Story by Taylor Swift

Zephyr

2009-01-27T00:21:00.004+08:00

The soft wind very gently

Taps onto my heart
It whispers oh so quietly
‘Come on, this is the start!’

The next thing I knew,
I was dancing with the stars
And although this can’t be true,
We were able to reach Mars!

The last thing I saw
Before I open my eyes
Was me playing the piano
While waves behind me arise

These are but crazy illusions
And some things that I just hear.
For these all happen on occasions
When I encounter a zephyr.

[version 2]

The soft wind very gently tapped onto my heart
And whispered so softly, ‘Come on, this is the start!’
Next thing I knew, I was dancing with the stars.
Although this can’t be true, we actually reached Mars!

Then everything turned black, then to a thousand hues
I did not do anything, no option to choose.
And so I ran, and I ran with all of my might
And closing doors behind me was a tiny sprite.

In nothingness, I realized before I roam
That I arrived at a place not that far from home
The last thing I saw before I open my eyes
Familiar strangers saying bittersweet good-byes.

These are but fake reality inside my mind
These are but soft rowdy voices and of the kind
These are but crazy illusions and things I hear
For these all do happen when I meet a zephyr.

Some Slight Anxieties

2009-01-26T23:58:00.005+08:00

Just so you know, I think this post is really out of place.

-=-=-=-=-=-

#1: JS Prom
I really have no idea on what to wear and who I'll dance with. Although I have someone in mind, it is an absolute fact that I'll never be able to dance with him. That's why I'm already asking guys who are close to me to ask me to dance on that day. Just so my going there is not wasted.

#2: desSert
I hate the fact that I like him. Point one, he's somewhat taken. Point two, we are not close. Point three, he doesn't give a damn on those who like him. Point four, I gave three points already. I'm already depressed.

#3: Backlog
I have so many of these and I hate it. Stupid RAT, etc.

#4: Out of School Youth again
Although I like being excused from lessons, I hate the setback being excused gives me. I have to review for the MTAP and go to Pisay on Thursday.

#5: Semi-finals and Finals
I am very nervous about the Campus Idol thing. Just talking about it or hearing stuff about it makes me nauseous! Gosh, how can I compete with this kind of attitude!? I want to perform, but the low self-esteem I have pulls me down bit by bit, and I'm starting to sink into the ground.

#6: PTC
I really don't know what to say about this, except... I REALLY DON'T KNOW!!!

I really just hope that all of these anxieties subside over time.

RAT, Idol Week

2009-01-23T10:10:00.007+08:00

Nope, our school has not been infested with rats and I do not idolize these pests. However, our school life was filled with reviewing for the Regional Achievement Test and my life has been full of singing, as always. Anyway, this week was quite fun.

PT 3.2.2
With our first day of periodical tests being a Friday, the first day of the week has turned into the second test day. The tests were actually somewhat easier than before, but I don’t think that guarantees that my score would be high. I just hope that all the reading I have done while practicing my song paid off.

Campus Idol Auditions
The afternoon of the second day of PT turned out to be the eliminations of the juniors and seniors for the Campus Idol while our Friday turned out to have shortened period to give way to the eliminations of the freshmen and the sophomores. I must admit, I sucked on stage. I am way better without the microphone. However, I managed to qualify for the semi-finals. Let's hope that I also qualify for the finals!

Redistribution
Our class has been distributed to different classes due to this RAT review. Because of this reshuffle, there has been a drift within our class. For example, my best friend said that she became shy while talking to us just after a day of being in the Oxygen class. I got really annoyed because of that, since she doesn’t have to feel that way. However, I also understood her point of view. At least we had a dramatic reconciliation in the waiting shed!

This week was a tiring one indeed. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was enjoyable. I wonder how I’ll catch up though, since the day after the RAT exams next week, Kat and I would be reviewing again for the MTAP Division Contest. Oh, the hectic school life.

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Subject of the Week

2009-01-09T22:10:00.004+08:00

...is called "MATH". Here's why:

Review, review, review
Kat, Bles, and I were excused for the whole week [along with the other PEM people and some contestants who aren't] to review for the MTAP Math Challenge Elimination Round which happened a little while ago. Although we kept on having fun while reviewing [laughing out loud, having our own contest, etcetera], I believe we were able to really study for the contest. It was also a major factor that we had Geometry last year!

Tomorrow's Way
We'll be having our 3rd PEM session tomorrow! Let's hope for the best so that I won't sleep during class.

Something Different
Our English and Filipino school organs were released today! I was so excited and I was barely able to read it! I swore right the and there that I would never fold them. Did I mention I have a glossy copy of both? Ayeee!!!

Someone Different
It feels kinda weird... but I don't like 21 anymore. Instead, my crush from before has emerged! And... what's weirder is that it all happened within a matter of days! It was like, I was screaming because of 21 this day, and the next one I don't like him anymore. Can anyone tell me why!?

Idol!
I think it's probably because I didn't go to the club meeting, but I didn't know about Liriko holding the Campus Idol thingy. And according to my classmates, I'll be joining it! Whoa... I want to, but I hope my nerves don't get wrecked too much! Also... Ma'am May gave me shocking news this week - if you're from CNSHS, you'll be watching me singing Amazing Grace solo on Family Day, with just a Saliw member to accompany me and interpret the song! Another major WHOA.

There are many weird things that happened this week, including someone talking to me from out of the blue. Weird, as in. But happy, of course. I totally love this week! I wonder what would happen to me next week, being excused and all.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Fireworks Over Food [A New Year Special]

2008-12-31T23:24:00.006+08:00

A reporter asked a person on the street: "How much fireworks have you bought?" The person replied that he bought about P4000 worth of it, and when he was asked if he had prepared anything for the Media Noche, he gave a big fat no.

Has the world gone mad for exploding thingamajigs? I hope not.

News mostly cover people in hospitals get treated for having an accident with these firecrackers, and sad to say, some people still make the stupidity of blowing themselves or others up.

Because of careless handling of these sparklers, not only do we harm ourselves, we also miss the main idea of celebrating the incoming year. It's about the Media Noche. It's about the different rituals in the house. It's about watching fireworks handled carefully or professionally. It's about getting full and drunk with people you trust and love. It's about leaving the outgoing year with hopes and plans for the new year that you know will give you a fresh new start.

I hope that we all leave the blowing yourself part of every new year. It's not all about that. It's about facing the future with confidence and conviction, a ready and sound mind, and a smile on your face while saying...

2009, are you ready!?

By the way, happy new year to you, dear reader. Welcome 2009 with a smile, right there, right now. :)

'Tis the Season...

2008-12-19T22:10:00.009+08:00

Christmas is almost here! With that, we also have our Christmas break. But before that, our school had given us some memories to remember while we're far and away during the Yuletide season.

PT 3.1
Every year, our tests come before we have our Christmas party. This year was no different although I must note that the exams were somewhat easier than the ones in the earlier quarters. I just hope the results would also be better!

Of Silent Night, Jingle Bells, and Winter Wonderland

This year [again, like last year] our school Christmas party consisted of games and contests. One of these is the Christmas Chorale, where we will sing a Christmas song as a choir [obviously!!]. Well, we came out as winners, and the juniors became so happy! [Grand slam, they said. I hope we don't get arrogant though, because what we did is not enough to prove our worth!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland...

Christmas Party
In the three years that I have stayed in CNSHS, I really do believe that the best one is this year's. Although our program was nothing but boring, our class' idea of fun this year is having our own official t-shirt [which is adorable], having cam trips as a class, and singing with Magic sing!!! Yehey!! I was pretty happy, giving gifts to different people, making friends with Sir Ces again, and having pictures to upload... but I became sad when, at the end of the day, I found out that 21 wasn't there anymore... Wah!

I hope I won't miss people during the vacation, because it would just lessen the enjoyment factor... Well, guys, see you all next year, when 2008's over and 2009 comes rolling in!

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

When once my fangs were bared...

2008-12-08T22:10:00.000+08:00

"Awaken to darkness on this place we call Earth,
One vampire's bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with blood thirsty needs
On the warm rich sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disastrous beast,
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight disappears from the sky,
You better watch out unless you want to die."
-Victoria Boatwright

I believe that ever since, I had a fascination for vampires. It only took some time for me to realize that fact. Now, I am more than fascinated - I am addicted.

My first encounter with them is with the Interview with a Vampire, which I watched when I was, like, in fourth grade - 9 or 10 years old? That movie captivated my interest for a long time; I kept on searching for its title since I didn't know it back then.

Second would probably be Vampires Will Never Hurt You, a song by My Chemical Romance. [Not much of an exposure, I know, but I believe my attraction to the song was because of the word 'vampires' in the title. Or maybe that was just me loving MCR...]

Third would be mangas, especially my first ever vamp manga, Bloody Kiss. That introduced me to the world of dhampirs, half human half vampires, who [based on the manga] are stronger than the real vampires since the former can see the weakness/es of the latter. After this, I look for and buy different mangas with relation to the topic. Some of these are Vampire Princess Miyu, New Vampire Princess Miyu, Rosario + Vampire, Midnight Secretary, Chibi Vampire, and many more.

Vampire Kisses, the first book of a series by Ellen Schreiber, was made into the manga and I bought both the book and the comic.

My two biggest influences: Vampire Knight and Twilight.

Though I started Vampire Knight in the anime, I also read the manga. Anyway, the flow is just the same. This is where I became addicted to biting. [I haven't gone psycho, but I really do bite myself sometimes...] Since the manga and the anime are both not done yet, I still am on hold with this series.

The Twilight Saga, however, really took a hold on me the minute I started reading Twilight. It's a good thing my godmother is the one who's buying me the saga, since my parents would never have allowed me to buy it!

It saddens me that many people just discovered the wonder of vampires due to the Twilight movie [which kinda sucked, actually, compared to the book]. It also saddens me that people get so good at pretending that they are ultimate fans of Twilight when they haven't even read the book/s which is/are so much better.

What saddens me most is that they pretend that they are addicted to vampires as long as I am/we are. Hypocrites! You don't even know what they are.

I hope this post doesn't hurt anyone. I'm just letting out feelings here.

"I am neither good, nor bad, neither angel nor devil, I am a man, I am a vampire." -Michael Romkey (I, Vampire)

Moments of Agony

2008-12-05T22:10:00.017+08:00

This week was and wasn't what I expected it to be. I foresaw that it would be a bad one, but I never imagined that it would be this bad and that it would have many good sides too.

Close, open...
There was someone who had opened up to me about a common problem of people our age - love. Come on, it was not like I was persuading him, but he did. The revelation can be described in one word - SHOCKING. Never once in my life had I imagined it was possible. Due to his sharing of secrets, I was somewhat affected since our situation was quite alike. We like taken people.

Missing you
The topic above leads us to another addition [although slight] to the depression meter this week - me not seeing "him" which causes me missing him, which makes me miserable for three days, until we meet awkwardly in the hallway and until I see him with his large circle of friends. After those incidents, expect me smiling. ☻

Predator Issues
There has been something irritating me for the whole week, and it has left me feeling bad. Another plus in the meter. This time it's about someone close to me who's drifting off to Darth Vader. Please, stay away from him. You'll only be faced with much trouble. I'm afraid you might change...

"...and so the first predator ate the second,
and saved the prey from doom."

Neither odd, nor even

The second grading rankings for our class was already out. It turns out that I'm tied with Kathleen at 1.5 with an average of 96.33. Following are Sheila, Bles, Ria, Froi, Enji, Darleen, Jenny and Aaron, respectively. It seems the tension is about to rise soon... [There was this incident that I was surprised with, though. A classmate said "Ang galing mo!" to me - something I never really expected.]

Itchy Feet
I have gone out of school during lunch twice this week for trips to 7-11, etc. and that is a new record. I decided to, since this way I get to spend some time with Mai, Darleen and the others. Nice!

Heroin

"You are exactly my brand of heroin.
I'll don't want to take your life away from you."

These lines I said to Darleen, as she is my current addiction. Not that I'm gay or anything, but I think the way she smells to me is the same as Bella smells to Edward. By the way, she was the one who picked me as her baby for the kris kringle! Weee!!!

Family Matters
Yuki, Squeezy and I have been spending much time together these days and it felt good! Weee... how sad daughters, your daddy doesn't know you exist! TT.TT

Another Celebration!
Speaking of family, it's my father's birthday today!! Happy birthday pa!!! ^_^

Funny Bones
Sir Moji tickled our class once again when he cracked so many jokes, especially involving the topic about errors. Those ones sent my classmates into hysterical laughter!

"Your nose may be an error, but you are not all nose.
So you may only have about 5% level of significance."
---
[conversation of a student and Sir Moji]
Sir: What is your perception of error?
Student: You, sir.
Sir: Ah, I may be an error but I look good.
Student: That's another error, Sir.

Well, I guess this week wasn't that bad after all. Maybe the emoness in the atmosphere affected me much so it seemed like this week was such a drag. I guess I have to learn how to fight the lugubrious presences around me... Wow, I used a new spelling word! I hope next week, the mood would be better in the class.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Isolation Process

2008-11-14T20:53:00.015+08:00

A week of excuses... A week of tension... In short, a week of isolation. It was not totally fun and games! But it was a time of shallow happiness and weird happy feelings. Some "equations" I learned these week are the following:

Intensive Review = Laugh Trips
What took up much of my time this week is the contest that Kuya JL, Kuya Michael and I will join - the Cavitewide Search for Math Wizards. The review started last Friday, which consisted of watching the funny-looking Dana Mosely teaching us different and difficult Trigonometry stuff, answering the stupid multiple choice problems of a math book where the answer is always non of these for us since there really is no answer, and laughter. Let's see... 30% watching, 20% answering and... 50% laughing. What progress we have made!

Analytical Geometry = Frustration
I was already depressed with the Anal Geom PT last week, and it became worse now that I know my grade - failing. I never expected this instance to happen again!!! T.T

Pencil + 5 Long Bond Papers + Color Pencils + Fun + Dismay = Comic Strip
I spent some time during this week trying to finish my comic strip and, sad to say, I wasn't able to. Waah! Now I have to do some overtiming on Sunday (I can't do it tomorrow, I have the contest) and hopefully it would be done by then. It's a good thing I was able to extend my deadline, since I would have died trying to finish this today. PTC!

PTC =???
And that leads us to the next part of the program, the PTC. My grades have astonishingly increased, and so has my average. My goodness, I thought everything would have gone lower!! Thank heavens... There is no ranking yet though, so I'm not at all calm.

Intersection of Flag Ceremony and Retreat = 3N
This week, our class was in charge of the flag ceremony and the flag retreat, although the former was not carried out. As for the latter, I didn't know the song for the doxology, but the rest was fine... I think. Oh well, this was just another instance where I got to stand in front of the whole school [aside from the other times I was part of the group who led these "programs"].

Tables Turning with "The One" = Ultimate Happiness + Hope
Another thing that made me ultra happy this week was that I'm the one leaving 21, instead of me being left by him. And what's better? When I left, he left too!! Yeeee.... 8D

Although this week gave me the feeling of being left out, it also left me with a happy feeling inside... I hope the things I feel from the classroom be just some kind of paranoia I always have had... And I hope my happiness will always remain. You too, reader!

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Teamwork at its best! (--,)

2008-11-09T10:10:00.007+08:00

Yesterday was Module day! My best buds [Mai, Kat and Justin] and I met up in Kat's house to do the said project, only to end up going to my house since the internet in theirs hates us and mine seems the next logical resort.

At first, it was somewhat playful, until we got serious and did the project properly - typing, editing, lay-outing, putting pictures... the works.

What was supposed to be a day-only project turned out to be an overnight since we weren't done by the time it was 11 o' clock. They called home to ask permission [Kat's dad was pretty calm, Mai seemed to shout at her mother, and Justin's call was not answered., probably since his "housemates" were asleep.] and as soon as they were granted, my mom became the ultimate host, providing t-shirts and toothbrushes. [They didn't, by the way, use any of these.]

I was the last to sleep, since I got to nap while they were doing their stuff. I really relied too much on my group mates this time [sorry guys!] so I hope they didn't get that cranky.

[Kat and Mai: busy. Module mode!!]

[Enji: Having fun with the sleeping bag! LOL XD]

[To go: A pic before my friends go home. T.T]

Well, this overnight was a first. It was to do a module! It was a good thing we finished most of it, and I just had to edit some... Whew! What an exhausting and fun day!! [or should I say night? LOL.] Too bad Ian wasn't able to join us, he missed a lot!

Oh yeah, have I mentioned this was Enji's first time to have an overnight at our house, much more to be in our house? Ah, the sweet irony of life.

Another (Baguio encounter + Pile of assignments + Celebration)

2008-10-31T22:10:00.008+08:00

The SEMESTRAL BREAK!!! One of the holidays students have been waiting for. This one is not exceptional that much... not!

CMLI Capers
The trip to Baguio was actually fun. Although I felt before that it wouldn't be much exciting, I enjoyed it very much, probably also because the people I was with were nice! I got to be close with most, if not all, of them. [yehey!] It's also a good thing that we arrived there early, since we were able to get rooms at the first floor of White Hall. That reminded me of the YES! Camp 2007, since we stayed in the same hall, but we were in the third floor.

[Us, waiting for our rooms to be settled and ready.]

Contests. I joined two - the Radio Drama and the VJ Hosting Contest. In both, I/we didn't win [waah! T.T] but at least had fun!

Workshops. That part was also great. I had to attend the VJ Hosting Workshop [Kuya Eidref, my JC-NEB crush, was there!] since I'll join the contest and although I was reluctant to push through with it, I decided to attend the said workshop. Little did I know it was fun! Kuya Earl Guico, our speaker was so funny and we even learned how to do palmistry! And, he praised me during one of our exercises, saying he saw something in me since day 1. Sweet!

Ceremonies and Symposium. Boring! I'd say these were like the plenary sessions of YES! Camp. I sleep through them!

Commission Discussion. Another happy part of CMLI. I got to learn many games like the focus ring, crossing bridges blindfolded, stinger, prui, and 'Do you love me?' game. Kuya JC, our faci [short for facilitator] was great and I also made friends with some of my commates. GO COMM 21!! [oh yeah, we were block 5 in Olympinoy, which I barely attended.]

[Our comm! Give me a two, give me a one... All for one, 21!]

Disco Socials. The place was like a disco bar, and I was like a bird out of a cage. I was dancing like crazy and wanted more! Although we weren't able to stay for the sweet dance, I got to have some fun with my schoolmates while dancing. It's once in a lifetime, so I had my fill!!

Shopping and sightseeing. Of course, in every trip, it is inevitable that we would do this. This has got to be the best part of the trip!

[By the entrance of the Botanical Garden, taking a picture with the hip Igorot oldies]

Busybee
Since I wasn't in school the day the school readied for sembreak, I was shocked to know the assignments waiting for me when I arrived in Cavite. The number was overwhelming! I think I would cram like what I usually do this weekend...

Month-end Celebration
Not only is it the last day of October, it is also my mom's birthday! Our family went out with a buch of family friends and celebrated in King Bee. Then the party continued at our house! Happy birthday Ma!

I don't think two days are enough for me to consider this week our sembreak! *sigh* PT's are next week... Oh no!

Till then,

Intrams + Koreans + Birthday = Self-explosion!!!

2008-10-10T22:10:00.006+08:00

Wanna know why self-explosion? Probably since this is one of the best weeks of my life!!!

Hamyeonghamnida! Annyong haseyo!!!
These words greeted our school's visitors from Jeollabuk-do Office of Education last Tuesday, which was the main reason why our intrams was delayed for one day. Though I felt bad at first since we were supposed to have classes and I was supposed to interview some of the guests, I came to like it since I got to meet some Koreans. One is Mr. Jerry Mun, who became close to us within such a short period of time. There was also an instance when I greeted a Korean woman with "Annyong haseyo" and a bow, and she said "beautiful" to me. (Well, that's what Katrina and I heard.) Also, I got to speak with Kim Junsung! What a first time...

So happy!
The same day that the Koreans came to our school, someone I really like said I love you to me! You'll never imagine how that could have happened!!! I was so happy at that time!!! It was very... unexpected! I told some people about it and their reaction was one and the same - "WHAT???"

...don't I have the right to be happy?? [emote?]

Sportsfest Fever
I believe that this is the best intrams ever! Though at first I hated the idea of having the teaming by year level, I felt better about it once the sportsf est has started. We had many great cheerleaders and yellers, wonderful drummers, and amazing players. Never mind that I didn't get the team of my dreams! Although, it is the third year in a row that the team that I belong to got second place in the over-all...

Making history
I didn't get to play my favoite sport in this intrams, but I was able to play basketball, where I was able to shoot twice (thus contributing 4 points to our team) in the first game and make history in the championship game. Why? I think I'm the first person to take off my glasses and hold it in my hand before I shoot!

Start of something new
With the intrams going on, I also made new friendships with some of the first years. Cool, right? That's why this sports fest is the best - I got to meet different people and make friends with them!

Celebrate good times, come on!
This October, many people I know have their birthdays: Alpha, Carlo, Esie, Ate Micah, Ate Ralyn, Kuya John, Pamela, Kodie and Claudine. Is someone missing? Yup, me! I think this birthday is the best! So many people from school personally greeted me, the whole school sang a birthday song during flag retreat and I got one of the best gifts of my life although it is just a card... I so love this day!!!

We got some party over here!
I invited some of my friends over to our house for an overnight. Although my two best friends, Katrina and Maikka, weren't able to stay, it was okay that they still came. As for the overnight... It was great! The overnighters (Aaron, Bles, Zab, Jenna, Nobie, Viellka, Chala, Carlo, Justin M.) said so, anyway... I thought I was pretty boring, actually. So I was so happy to hear that they enjoyed their stay. Do you think it's because of the food? Just joking! Thanks for everything guys! And thank you very very much to my mom, dad, grandmother and grandfather for the wonderful party.

After considering the events that happened this week, I think this really is one of the best weeks of my life. Although it may not seem like I'm too enthusiastic or happy about it, I really did enjoy this special week.

Countdown till self-destruct... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Kick it, Pump it! [Intrams Day 3]

2008-10-09T15:51:00.001+08:00

After defeating the Blue Vaio, Red Macintosh defeated the Yellow Asus in Sepak Takraw Girls Championship Game.

Although junior player Alpha Colocado suffered a sprain since the day before, she together with Karen Vie San Juan and Isidra Cruto won over the Yellow Asus players not only once, but twice.

After winning against seniors, the red team proceeded to the game against the yellow team. Since the sophomores haven't lost in any game, the juniors needed to beat them two times. In both cases, the Macintosh turned out victorious.

Cheerers from both teams roared out their yells to boost the spirits of the Sepak players.

Though many of the points of each team came from faults in service, both teams still showed skill and determination. Truly, their perseverance in practicing gave the teams a great advantage over others.

GO MACINTOSH!!!

Freshie Girls Got Game! [Intrams Day 2]

2008-10-08T22:10:00.003+08:00

One of the games of the second day of the sports fest was volleyball, where girls from Green Acers and Red Macintosh faced with each other.

This happened exactly after the basketball game of the same teams, where some of ithe red team's players were also players for volleyball. With this fact, no wonder some of the best volleyball players said they were not in the condition to play.

After three sets of rallying between the two teams, the freshmen emerged victorious. This was the time when Helen, a first year student, started to get famous, with volleys hard to return.

The same day, the female Acers were also able to defeat the other two teams in volleyball. Unbelievable? No. Amazing? Yes!

Macintosh volleyball players will stand up once more!

Jumpstarting the Sportsfest [Intrams Day 1]

2008-10-06T22:10:00.003+08:00

With grace and perseverance, CNSHS students began the intramurals with the cheer dance competition. Showcasing different steps and grooves, the audience roared with excitement as each team presented the performance they all worked hard for.

With every movement, CNSHSians watched with enthusiasm as they saw their schoolmates dance with much vigor. Even the guests of the day were taken aback by the energy given off by the cheer dancers.

Smiling through every cheer, yell and song, the dancers were not only able to entertain the other students, teachers, and guests but also lift up the spirits of the players who will play in the following days of the sports fest.

The whole school shook with anticipation as the results of the winners were announced. What came up was that the Green Acers was fourth, Yellow Asus was third, Blue Vaio was second and Red Macintosh was first!

Though there were some who shouted pull-downers, the champions for this event continued to celebrate their victory.

Great start Red Macintosh!!!

I! You're the one I idolize...

2008-10-01T22:10:00.000+08:00

If you were asked about a person you admired how would you describe him? Is he kind, beautiful inside and out, generous, lovable and caring? Or is he courageous, wise, responsible and confident? Whichever adjective you choose from these, even one word can describe the person I idolize - everything.

A confident person, she faces all challenges with much determination. Not only that, she is decisive as well, one way of seeing her genuine wisdom. Being tolerant and patient, she forgives mistakes I do, no matter how grave they may be.

She was able to change my life in many ways possible, and with this, I was able to learn many things. She helps me in everything I do and makes sure I am never alone. She guides me in my journey across the path of life and with her all, she cares and loves me more than anyone else.

And though sometimes she reprimands me with very simple things and chides me with a loud voice, I've come to accept the fact that she does not do this for her own happiness but as guidance so that I would not go astray from the path she helped lay down for me.

She is someone I would not exchange for anything in this world. She may be just anyone to you, but she is everything to me. Though it may sometimes not seem like it, it's true. You are the world to me, my one and only mother.

Sunshine after the rain ^_^

2008-09-26T22:10:00.015+08:00

Thank God this week has given me more blessings! No matter how depressed I was last week, this one probably overrode it with some kind of happiness...

You haunt even my dreams...
It seems Math is everywhere this week. From our real Math, to Analytic Geometry to Chemistry, the numbers are in an infinite array! Speaking of the first two subjects mentioned, you woulnd't believe how equations keep on popping up in our lessons! It's very... redundant.

Pass Confirmed!
There's this Baguio thing on October 25-29, and I really want to join. I was allowed! Wahoo!!! When Ma'am Nazareno asked us about it, six people were sure (including me, of course.) Guess what? Froi will join! Shocking, right? Aaron too, and hopefully, so will Maikka and Bles. If so, that would be the best triip ever!

You're such a loser!
How sad... I looked at the results in the internet this Tuesday when we had free time at school and I received the bad news - we didn't get into the Math Trail Finals!!! Anyway, I enjoyed the contest very much so I have no regrets in joining it. Only the shouting thing, which I've decided since last week not to internalize too much, and this loss are the downsides. You can look at all the upsides in the previous post about this event.

Still about the Mothership
Once again, I talk about PTs and something of the like. Since Ma'am Tenny told me to just get the part two of the periodic test this week, I got it this Monday. It was moderately easy, if you want to now. The AP test, on the other hand caused series of nose and braain bleeding! It was hard, for crying out loud! What a great contrast to the "easy" our teacher told us. Last one is the remedial in MAPEH, though we didn't have it this week since our teacher wasn't around. Next week, then.

Countdown!
There are two weeks left until our Intramurals and it seems like everyone's psyched. I don't think I'm that excited though. There are lots of paperwork to prepare so it seems more like a head ache than something I'd enjoy. Anyway, I signed up for badminton so I hope I get to play it. It has been my ambition since first year!

To Squeezy, with love
It's Ajae's birthday today! The pizza was nice, it was from Pizza Hut! Mmmmm... Yum yum!! There were photo sessions too, as expected from us Nitrohenyos! Thanks and happy birthday Jae!

Goodbye, Sergeant Keroro...
The Zoologists started dissecting frogs this week! Actually, that was onereason why I didn't want to take up Zoology. I find my co-Analytic Geometrists weird when they say they want to dissect too. Don't they find "dissecting" angles more convenient? (Hahaha, I just cracked a joke!!! ^_^)

Shout it to the skies!!!
I found something about my crush today, and OMG I just could not believe it. I hope it's really true, though it may not seem like it. But still, if it's true, nothing will probably happen, right? What a waste...

Alas, the time has come to end this post. Emo much??? Hahahaha... Next week would probably be a long one...

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Worst Week Yet. T_T

2008-09-19T22:10:00.007+08:00

It seems school is taking a toll on me... I hate this week so much!

First of all...
I would like this first part to be a tribute to the main source of our sufferings - the periodical tests. Actually, we are to have four days of it, since English and AP are to be taken at days different from what is scheduled (only to find out that English has 2 parts, these are to be taken separately meaning for two days and AP will be taken next week). The first day tests were supposed to be comprised of Math and Stat only, but we rescheduled and transferred the Filipino. The tests that day are somewhat long, but partly easy.Second day tests were the exact opposite; It was a good thing I got exempted in Physics, 'cause word is, it was deadly hard!

Almost but not quite
During the second day of PT, we were supposed to go home since it was half day. But I didn't. I had to review for the Math Trail, a contest I will take part of on Saturday. Instead of intensely reviewing, I was instructed to just study the calculator functions, etcetera. I wonder if we have a chance?!

I am Reptar, hear me roar!
I cried today, waahhh... And that is because of a teacher!!! I never expected him to yell at me like that. I actually don't like to cry that time, but when our adviser talked to me, I was surprised that there were tears falling from my eyes already! To Ma'am Rhea, Ma'am Tenny, most of my classmates, other friends (like Paulo) and Ate Amery, thanks for the kindness and care you gave me. Thanks for worrying, it really meant a lot!

Finally, a good side!
One good thing that happened this week was laughing with Bles. The new catchphrase "You're very scary!!!" will always be followed by laughter!!! Thanks for those uncontrollable pieces of noise Bles!

A Bloody Side
You thought that it's about the checking of the periodic tests? Well, maybe... But, nah! Too much trouble! This week I was introduced to the DVD version of Vampire Knight which belongs to Ate Kim. I want to watch it but I think I won't have the time to watch it yet! Waahh... I'm really addicted to vampires so I am pretty much excited about that anime! (I also want to read the manga, though...)

Since tomorrow is the contest, I have no idea why I stay up so late... I don't want to sleep??? Oh, believe me, I love sleep... Sleep, sleep... Okay, I'm sleepy now! Besides, my mom's telling me to sleep not later than 10:30!!! Better be obedient now. I hope we get included in the finals! Watch out for the updates on the contest. The results would probably be out next week.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

I'm tired.

2008-09-12T22:10:00.005+08:00

I never understood how school is heaven at one time then becomes ultimate hell! And then, there are times when everything keeps on repeating, and nothing makes sense anymore. I keep on thinking about it, but still, everything's the same!

The following details are what made this week not the same, either temporary or permanent.

Half Saebyok for a day
This Monday, I was what I hate the most - excused. I hate being absent from school! The moment I woke up, I felt like there was some kind of foreign body iin my eye. Nothing my mom or I did helped. Even after I went to school, my eye still hurt! It was a good thing that my mom told me that they would be fetching me from school after they finished their case (operation, okay? They're doctors!) since I couldn't handle the pain! It turned out that it was exposure keratitis, probably because my hand was on top of my eyes and the eyelid was pulled up leaving my corneas exposed to dry. What's with the half Saebyok thing? Well, in a Korean drama I really love, Saebyok (the lead girl) was blind before a doctor who died, gave her her corneas. What's the connection? Well, I spent the whole day after the check up with an eye patch, sleeping for six hours! (I made up for the lost sleep I had the night before... with the aircon!) Sweet!

Mother, mother...
Aaron showed us a video of his mom in the 'Dancing Heads' booth in one convention she attended. The song his mom lip synced was 'I Will Survive' and I didn't know that she was so good at it! At first it was like she was hesitating but after some time, she looked like she was really into it! My classmates and I were not only enjoying, we were surprised too! Another funny thing related to mothers: Aaron guessing my mother's name. We were talking about something related to her, and he can't quite recall it! After a series of guesses he blurted out "Braguda?" and Bles and I laughed. Is that even a name?!?

Bad!!!
It seems that 3N is really a group of deaf people (no offense guys!) today. During our Filipino time, a comment which was a joke made Ma'am Tolentino say "Bad!!!" in the tone she uses when she says "Good bye!" to us. That made most of my classmates stand up and say "Good bye Ma'am!", mistaking bad for goodbye! I was going to stand too, but I saw the face of Ma'am. So, I didn't. We kept on laughing about it!!!

Special Mention
This week was one full of tension due to the fact that there had been some special mention of names during class - for those who aren't that quiet when they should be.

Going Japanese
I brought sushi to school today, which was a first. When I opened the Tamago sushi (the one with egg and rice), I barely got to eat one since my classmates helped themselves to it!!! The California maki was what I had to myself... Yum yum!

Oh my, my, my...
Next week, we will have the much awaited (ows?) periodic tests, just as I said in my last post... Uwaaah! This will probably be the cause of sleepless night and books for props (joke! Peace out!) So, sayonara!

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Whew! DXD

2008-09-05T22:10:00.005+08:00

And such a week had to pass. I most definitely am not feeling good!

Cold in the Heat

The intro is because of this aggravating cold that I have now. Include sore throat! (And still, I keep on singing and shouting!?) I can hear a song… ‘I don’t feel good! Tenenenenenenen…’

Will you…

If you’d thought that the continuation of that line is “marry me?”, then you are pretty darn close. But “accept my problem proposal?” is more appropriate. We started ‘proposing’ to Sir Mojica the problems that we should have thought of within the past three months. But there is some kind of complication. We just think of problems at least two days before proposal day. And! There has to be eight problems, which is way out of our league since we cram even for one. For every week of September, we have to have 2 problems. I sense more cramming.

And suddenly, we can’t.

Remember the entry 'Laugh while you can'? Well, we can’t. Yeah, we still give out landslide-inducing laughs, but we can’t treat a day happy anymore. In short, we’re tired, depressed and bad trip. And that's probably due to the topic above. T_T

Chosen

After checking the activity about October Sky, Ma’am Tenny asked us to answer essay questions related to it orally. Little did we know that she was choosing people who would be entered as the contestant for the on-the-spot speech! And, you probably guessed it, I’m included. But I still have to compete against some of my classmates and some seniors. Yikes!

Tardy + Late = No Classes

There was a problem this week. Since our Research time was extended, we became late in Physics! On top of that, we walked slowly. III – F timed us and it was 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Result: Our teacher didn’t conduct the class. It was a good thing that the next day, she already did and it was as if nothing happened. I hope it really didn’t, and I hope it won’t. Ever.

New addition

I am a mommy. I have offspring. Two, to be exact. I named them, just like any mother would. One is named Squeezy. The latest addition to our family is Yuki. I have another one coming, and I believe it is a boy. Aww, c'mon, don't tell me you actually believed all that! Well you should! Since it's true. Squeezy (Ajae) is my daughter since second year and Yuki (Jenny) just started being my daughter this week. Oh yeah, they have a father, but he doesn't know. What he does know about is the boy. I have a question. Can you hear me laughing? 'Cause I am.

Movie Marathoners

Finishing the October Sky and Dekada '70 is what we were up to this English (aside from the activities) and Filipino time (aside from the letter stuff) this week. Both were actually nice! The not nice part is that we are to make movie reviews for these two. Awww.....

Happy Birthday!

To Karissa! Our serious ever-so-BU president. BU, if ever you're reading this, happy birthday again! (Belated, haha!)

I need more, swiftly!

I am addicted to Paramore and Taylor Swift, as you may have seen if you are my classmate since I always sing their songs. I listen to them day and night! OMG, I so love Hayley and Taylor. They're the best! That inspired me more to start an all-girl band, which, I believe, Katrina will help me with.

I think that's all I want to talk about for this week. By the way, I think I'll have to sneak off to type the blog for next week since it's time for the periodic tests the week after that!! Awww... I still want to do the blog, though.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

I'm back!!!

2008-08-29T22:10:00.017+08:00

This week is one of the best yet!!! Seriously, totally!!!

August is a holimonth!!!
And you would know if you are my schoolmate! For this month, there are so many free days! First there was the 5 day vacation from August 15 - 18 (Due to Maragondon Fiesta and Ninoy Aquino Day), then the 3 day vacation from August 23 - 25 (Due to National Heroes' Day)... And thank God again, there was a one-day vacation last August 27 (Due to NCAE). These "vacations" are very useful, if you have schedules that are so clogged up and if you have assignments you don't have the perseverance to do. (like me!)

The Princess sits on the throne

We had our PTC today and my golly it was nerve wrecking! The anxiety everybody else feels is like half of what I feel! But... what came out was actually good news!!! I am the one, the only, one!

Intrams... To be or not to be?
There have been sayings that the intramurals are next week, and there have been news that says it would be after the PT... which is a long way to go. We had a team meeting this week and after one whole hour of shouting, laughing and conversing there was progress, only to find out that there is a great possibility that we will have it by year level. How sad, I already like our team!!! T_T

You sure crack me up
We have a teacher who is known for telling uber cory jokes but this time, he was able to make us laugh. The joe goes like this: "My student once told me that 'Sir I have insomnia, but when I go to your class, I get cured immediately'. Did you get it? laughing like crazy> I think the reason he mentioned this was because he noticed our brains were about to pop out of our heads due boredom and we seem really... sleepy.

The guessing contest
Since I am one of the top five in the semi-finals I joined in the 'Tagisan ng Talino', I also joined the grand finals this afternoon. As usual, I guess the answers to most of the questions (albeit I can answer many too...) There is suspense, because the winner will be announced next week (I think.)

*sigh* I just totally, honestly like this week. I hope the following weeks will be kind to me too... See you next week guys!

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Laugh while you can... XD

2008-08-22T22:10:00.010+08:00

This week has been packed with laughter, and much as I hate going to school these days, I'm pretty happy while we are at our center of learning.

Starting a new craze!
Blez and I have become uber crazy seatmates this week. We (actually she) started the "This/That is the thing under the sun!" to be added with "in the world today!" by me. Following is an incontrollable series of laughter.

Still Red
No matter how high or how low my scores are in the PT 1.2, they still look murdered. Wahahaha!!! I'm pretty contented with my scores since most of them are high, but still... there's that nagging feeling when you give any low grade to you mother!!

PT 1.3
Aside from the PT we had last week, we also took the test given by DepEd. Darn! Most of the questions are answerable by, obviously, guessing. Five tests for English, Filipino, Math, Chemistry, and Social Studies were given (one each, of course) to 30 students which included all 3N students and some imports from the other section. During the test, we never failed to do what we do best - make some noise!!!

To cure, or to induce?
We drank the SLK (Sampalok, Luya, Kalamansi) decoction we made at home in Chemistry this week. It was supposed to be a cure for sore throat but I think the taste would make it all worse, hahaha! But seriously, I don't think anyone would be better with mine, since I put at least five packets worth of sugar!

Artistically Impaired? Nah!
Speaking of Chemistry, I applied my artistic talents, if I ever had any, to the project we made for an hour. I am so proud of my work, since I believe that's the first project that I had drawn a cute person. (See, I told you I had some artistic talents! Peace!) But honestly, I like it so much. Even my concept is something to be proud of. [By the way, I'm not bragging. I just really am proud of my work. I hope you'd be proud of me too. Ü]

Headaches of life
I love to laugh, but too much of it makes my head ache... Speaking of head ache, I hear that the PTC is next week! OMG... What would be the outcome? You would soon know... If the PTC will happen on the week they said it will, then you will see it posted on my blog post next week.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Hell once more!

2008-08-15T22:10:00.000+08:00

If you are one of us, you would definitely understand why hell is the ultimate word to describe this week.

I will burn my dread...
And the ever-so-hated periodical tests are back for the second time! T.T As usual, they are deadly hard. But that's part of the past now, isn't it? The problem now is the scores... Which is a bigger one than the PT itself.

And who said you won't look?
While studying for the 2nd day of PT, I wasn't sleepy too much. Wanna know why? I had an inspiration... And it was because we saw each other, and he smiled. I ran away (What?!? I was shy!) but the image of him giving me a friendly grin was very... satisfying.

Field trip fever
No, this segment is not a tribute to the field trip. In fact, I am quite disappointed in its outcome. Although I enjoyed much of it, I didn't enjoy the fact that my brain was pounding on my skull and that I became lethargic the next day. Also, my classmates were sick! (Well, they were two, but one didn't go to the field trip.)

What the...?!?
Something has been trying to get my attention this past week. I have no idea why, but I seriously don't like it. I have been relating this to some people and their reaction is one and the same... "What the ?!?"

Happy Fiesta!
To those living in Maragondon, happy fiesta! I went there to the Anacay house and chatted with the people I know there, namely Jeboy and Ajae (Hello to you!). Anyway, I was sad that I didn't get to go to Aaron's house...

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Welcome to Busyland!

2008-08-08T22:10:00.005+08:00

I keep on wondering about surviving my junior life. And I can't find any answer just yet. 'Cause everytime I get past the gates, I feel like someone's saying...

"Welcome to Busyland, where there is all work and no play!"

Enticing? Head-splitting.

When "boring" becomes habit
Everyday, we have different classes but it is always the same expression... "Boring!" There is also a sense of anxiety as we wait if there will be a quiz or a hard seatwork... By the way, we had two long tests - Math and Analytic Geometry. I told you, all I can talk about when it comes to studies is brain bleeding!

Project = Problem
This time, a LOT of projects were given to us... WaAaAaH! We have Arts, PE and English. That's not many? Well, just wait till you do this! Arts' is a stained glass project which is very hard especially if you don't have cutting skills. PE is a group project but still - making a DUMBBELL?!? English, you can divide into two: The talk show skit including the never-done script which is by group and the power point which is individual!

Continuous cramming is very healthy
...for those who want to die!!! I promise you, it is very much NOT advisable (Like hello, of course it isn't!!). Obviously, for me to say this, I have experienced a series of sleeping spells. NOT! Actually, I haven't been cramming this week, instead, I sleep on things! I should have done our script, but I still haven't and I rely on my group mates once I arrive at school. Stupid! So today, we tried to finish the script (Written, mind you, and not computerized; that, again, is my fault.) within one hour and thirty minutes. I heard the theme of Mission Impossible. But, once again, we asked for an extension. Request granted!

When your time is short (Part II)
And now it's time for their eyes to pop out of the sockets. It's our time to have the shortened period!!! We had 30 minutes per class! We didn't do much, as expected. (I mean, how much can you do within 30 minutes? And sometimes the teachers are late since they are busy with the preparations for the field trip)

Say hello tomorrow!
We aren't much excited about the field trip, though. I wonder if it was nicer than we expected? All I know is, I don't want to wake up at 2 am tomorrow! So I better sleep now! There would be a photo story posted within the next week, so watch out.

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

Same Old, Same Old... {repeat to infinity}

2008-08-01T10:10:00.005+08:00

And here I am again reporting the routine of my school life! Joke! XD

When the pres is not around...
This Tuesday (we don't have classes this Monday since there was a "storm" which is more like the SONA), we, the English Club members and officers, were the ones who led our flag ceremony. For that, we had to prepare so the night before, my co-member KATRINA rang me at about 9 pm to look for songs and hello cramming! Ate Micah wasn't there, so we don't have anyone to arrange everything. Oh man, it was problematic! But, at least we did it!

Industrious much?
Another set of visitors went to school this week. This time, evaluators. And so we spent 2 hours worth of classes last Wednesday for cleaning our specific parts... And this whole week I was very persevering when it came to cleaning... but not in studying... Wahaha... T_T

Safe?
Because of this cleaning thing, someone was saved! Katrina, one of my two besties, left her PE uniform!!! And with the no classes for two hours thing, her anxiety was thrown away like yesterday's newspaper.

When your time is short (Part I)
The first and second years will have their field trip tomorrow and so they had their shortened period today. It was so unfair seeing them hurry out of school! But no need to worry, we'll be having ours next week!

We're not the only ones!
With the shortened period of freshmen and sophies, I thought we are the only ones that are left behind since I thought that the seniors will also be half day (they will be having their UPCAT the next two days...) but I stand corrected. There are still fourth years left, though I'm not sure if all were there for the whole day.

Mangalicious!!!
Darleen introduced yet another manga that will satisfy my cravings: Let's Get Married! I haven't started, but I am looking forward to it! [And now I am advertising: join my mAnGaLiCiOuS group in Friendster! I will definitely appreciate you joining, reader!]

Uwaaah!
And since I have nothing more to talk about except bleeding brains, I would like to bid you adieu! I know this post is short, and I'm sorry! It's just that... my life is boring as of now!!!

Till next week,

Cheers to the ups and downs of life!

Once again, a frustrating week. As I said to Mai, it is NOT a prolific week. Somewhat fun, but still boring! Humdrum much?!?

Saengil chukha hamnida!!!
Oh so many people had their birthdays this week. First off is Ma'am Arceo, who had it on July 20, but I forgot. So she nagged me when I we met in school. "Hindi mo ako binati!!!" Next up is Kim Joon Sung's, the Korean! I actually gave him a card saying happy birthday and welcome to the school... I know it's stupid but... whatever. It was personally made and I asked Maikka to draw an anime girl for me. It was cute!!! I hope Kim likes it... I personally gave it too, though I said "Someone asked me to give this to you." STUPID with the capital S!!!! I should've just said "Happy birthday" to him! Last but not the least, Ma'am Alcantara. Her b-day was on July 23, but she wasn't in school though. Molec went to her house. I didn't, since I didn't know there was a celebration. {I wonder whose fault that was...}

Firefighters and Singing
I got what I wanted and more. I sang in Chem and I danced CALABARZON for two consecutive days! Strike 2?!? I can't believe it! Anyway, the sessions were fun because of Ma'am Bisa's stories about the first aid and fire fighting. Laugh trip as in! And twice, I think, Ma'am made faces, which induced a whole lot of laughter. We can't believe she did that!!! Overall, Chemistry is still my favorite subject!

Smart people are good!
There were people from Smart Bro who went to our school last... Wednesday and because of it, we didn't have English (we had a lecture) and AP (we had reporting). And so, noise here and there. Speaking of these two subjects they were pretty ok this week. English had some adrenalin rush because of exercises and saddening moments because of a piece we made about fathers (which can be seen below), but that's okay. AP, I'm safe! I am able to answer to Ma'am Evelyn!

Oh so sorry...
I have sleeping in classes this week probably because I only sleep for 2-3 hours. My longest sleep was for 5 hours! So sorry to Research (I don't sleep in Stat since I somewhat like it) and HAM (Health, Arts, and Music - not PE, since I was pretty energetic about running, though I almost died from exhaustion) since I slept in those classes! Uwaaahh! I try not to, but it just happens!

Lights, Camera... ACTION!
I have been bringing my camera for a while now, and I have taken some weird shots and videos! So many scandals and funny stuff! I think I would post them on YouTube... See you there classmates!

Leaders and inductions
We had the induction of officers today and one word - hectic. I had to practice for Liriko, take pictures, give out papers for PTA, and I have 3 positions in 3 different clubs! Whew! Luckily, Dardar gave off the papers and Ria took pictures. In many of them, goal was there!!! Ayiiee!!! So happy... It has been my mission to take a picture of him, anyway.

Arrivederci!
I somewhat started learning Italian again, and the word above means good bye. And so... Good bye! Next week again...

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

What Matters Most

2008-07-22T18:47:00.004+08:00

My father, posing his posable pose in Batangas ^_^

Looking at my dad, I suddenly realize he has more wonderful traits than what I give credit for. Of course, from the usual responsible, hard-working and caring, I notice different unique ones. For one, religion is a big thing for him, as he and my mom teach us. He actually chides us whenever my brother and I do extracurricular activities like chatting. Being religious and all, he probably did what King Solomon did - ask for wisdom. I believe he is wise, since not only does he have great knowledge in stuff like geography, science and have a wide vocabulary for both English and Filipino but he is also a dependable person when it comes to problems. He is a good decision maker and this characteristic is able to help us, his family, as well as his friends when they need him. Creative is probably one of the traits of a person you usually won't see in a father, but I see it almost every day. My dad can create useful stuff out of old useless ones, design and draw, and provide my brother and I ideas for important projects. In making slide shows and documents and requirements look good, he can be counted on. I believe that my father is really a great man. With our theme song "What Matters Most", I remember things that he does for our family, and especially for me. If always playing and hearing that song meant always having him with me even in my mind, I'd never stop playing that CD even when scratches cover the whole surface and the song keeps on jumping. What matters most is that he became my father, and I'd use all of my life to thank God for that.

Tell me you'll never go... {It's actually bye bye...}

2008-07-18T22:10:00.014+08:00

What an emotionally draining week! If I'm not too happy, I'm very busy and burdened which would lead to slight depression. But we keep on moving on, as we should.

Welcome back!!!
A family friend came back with her family two weeks ago from Australia for a vacation and she visited us this Tuesday. She is actually my parents' godchild in marriage, so more reason for her to go. One thing I loved about the visit was Andrei, her son. He is so cute and though he isn't smiling, he seems that he is. I am very fond of him. Though at first he seemed scared and shy of me, at some point he became fond of me too, and started saying "ate" over and over again to his parents. His father, Kuya Noel, even said "Ate ka ng ate, ah! Crush mo si ate, 'noh? Yihee... Crush!" He still said ate, then followed by crush three times! So cute! When they were about to leave, I went outside our house to see him off the I said good bye. He still kept on saying ate then kept on waving! T-T {Andrei, I hope you'll never forget me...}

Raindrops keep fallin' on my... arm?!?
This week is so lonely, it keeps on crying! The rain doesn't stop for the first three days of school! And the rain also means that I can't wear my new comfortable shoes. Instead, I have to wear my old, somewhat destroyed, sock-staining ones! Wah! I hate strong rains! I prefer light drizzles... {and you with me under those falling droplets...}

Phantasmally delusional
Last Monday, Jenny and I were daydreaming that the tree outside the room was of sakura blossoms and that the leaves were the sakura petals... Then someone special was there in the middle of the floating pink things waiting and smiling for me... Followed by loud, high shrieks.

You'll always be my baby, boy...
Theme song of the week is Always Be My Baby and I suddenly became addicted to it. I realized that David Cook is good... And I actually like his version of the song better that MC's, though I also like hers [too lively for the message] and sing it that way too.

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Speaking of mine...
My prey keeps on looking at me already! We had eye contact this week! Wajoo! Still can't go to #2 yet, though... How sad. He keeps on getting more handsome! [?!?]

Depressing subjects of attention
Suninugrafica. I have no idea about this word, just that my brother made it up and we laughed about it. I believe that its for something irritating. And so! It fits here. Though my scores this week are somewhat high, I can't take away my feeling of resentment for studying this week. Hell, I even sleep through my assignments! Can't believe this... I don't wanna talk about things related to studies, except that I'm high in AP!!! Joke... In Chem, I can't seem to get the 100% score... Always 80% or 90% - how sad! But you know, I want to fail even once... So that I can sing. *knocks on wood three times* I love to sing, but no failing!!! Physics was ok... Full of activities, actually. Stat/Research? ZzZzZzZzZz... Hahaha! In Analytic Geom, I am able to finish the seat works already! Yay! Filipino was frustrating becuse of the monologue, soliloquy and aside... MAPEH is okay [whashevah]... English... well the speech didn't go well. And we kept on reading. Math... Gets harder every day. WaAaAaH! Poor me.

And so I say ciao.
Finally, I made my blog a tad bit longer. For the past two weeks, my post about school happenings were somewhat short compared to the old ones.. So I'm proud of this one! Except for the fact that I used how sad many times, I like this post! Oh well! This is long enough! Write for ya'll next week!

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

{For You... My Heart of Sakura}
Oh darling, I'm waiting under the sakura tree.
Waiting for the sound of your foot steps.
Until then, I wait and smile, ready for you.

As a matter of fact, I'm 75% Ilocano!

Press the pic, if you want... ^_^

We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies. ~Shirley Abbott

Keep it together in the family
They're a reminder of your history
Brothers and sisters they hold the key
To your heart and your soul
Don't forget that your family is gold
~"Keep It Together" performed by Madonna

I thought at first that this was a weird assignment, but then, I take it back. It was indeed fun and looking through very old pictures made it even better. I can't even imagine this is the former look of our humble abode!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

One thing I noticed about my great grandparents and their parents is that the my great great and great grandfathers are farmers (except for two - Lolo Itay, my grandmother's dad and the father of Lolo Papang, my mom's dad) and their wives were housewives. My grandma said that Lolo Felix had many siblings who were professors and they were only two who weren't. Though my ancestors were farmers, I was informed that their lands were big.

Meetings are vital. These are the things that brought us here. One was of my mother's parents, Jovito Paat and Anacleta Rena. My grandmother was a pharmacist and so was my grandfather's sister. Having been raised by the family of a farmer, she deduced that Lola Mamang is simple. Her beauty is astounding too, so my grandaunt decided to match her with my grandfather. Lolo Papang fell in love at first sight who, coming from a rich family, was a playboy back then. My grandmother didn't though. After sometime though, they got developed then got married which brought my mom and her five siblings to the world.

My father's parents met in Clark, Pampanga while serving in the U.S. Air Force hospital. My grandma was a nurse and my grandfather was a doctor there. Having courted for quite a time, my grandmother, 23, said yes to my grandfather who was 27. This marriage gave way to the births of my father and my aunt.

My parents' relationship started, like my grandparents', with work. My mom knew my dad slightly when they were in high school since they both went to Philippine Science. But where they really got to know each other was in PGH, when they were in residency training. After about two years of dating, they got married in January 30, 1993. This relationship made me and my brother and brought us to the world.

My Obillo ancestors actually have many descendants but ironically, there is only one male Obillo left with the potential to spread the name. Our heritage, carried only by my brother, is bound to be extinct! With this fact though, I still believe that a part of our ancestors flow within our veins and even without following their names, they will always be a part of us, especially of our history and making.

Hey...
IT'S ME !

Haizt... What a week!

President
Being the president of something is really tiring! And that's because I'm the president of C.A.L.S.A. which is the Crammers and Late Sleepers Association... To uphold that title, I constantly sleep late, and do my assignments in the wee hours of the night. This week was because of the SB, which I started the night of the 2nd PT and finished at 6 am today! I thought I was gonna be late again!

The dreaded dreadful thing
PTs... ARE FINALLY DONE! But my problem is the scores... Of course, if I'm low, a lot of scoldings will occur. And that's very possible! T_T How sad... Especially AP! I thought I was gonna get high, then it turned out to be failing! Math was low, but expected since I was really... stupid at that time. Filipino was shocking, it was high! And English... all of us failed! It was JUST 81, compared to the former line of 9 scores. It was so hard! Physics and Chemistry... Never mind!

The Earth is to be watched!
96!!! Pesos. That's what our trashes amounted to when they were weighed and converted to money last 2nd day of PT... How sad... I recorded it! Go assistant secretary! We have to reach P1 500 to be able to join the finals!!! We can do this!

Seconds are nice...
Speaking of the second day of PT, it was kinda busy because of the English Club. Blech! Whashevah. I'm also stealing some glances at my prey (?!?)...Ahahaha!

Goal #1, ACCOMPLISHED!
Speaking of my goal... Oh yeah, uh-huh! Goal #1,which is for him to look at me, is done. And he did so... TWICE! On to #2! How can I talk to him?!? And how to be close to him?!? And you know what, my friend and so called competition gave up!

Please don't stop the music...
Oh yeah, No Air... and Reminiscence... I got addicted to it. I love that piece, and now I have studied half of it. If only my passion for studies is as great as my passion for music... I would be so intelligent already! How sad, I can't channel my focus into school.

Yo, Bro!
My school bro, Vhil, and I had some bonding time a while ago... We were just walking around school hunting for people who are not submitting articles, and talking about random things. I was doing my article for Molec then, but I still glance on to the court where the audition for varsity is held. He was watching, though. Nice, we got to talk! And there were some forcing ang teasing too! Shyable huh!

Tooters!
Our English power point went well, I think. The background music is nice for me and the ending was good too! Doing that was fun - we were having pictorials and sound trips! And we promised to make TOOTERS famous! Hahaha!!! Very progressive, huh? Ows... It's good we finished eh?

Oh well... Pretty much difficult yet exciting week! I actually liked it, except for the PTs... Kk, see yah... next week!

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

Come on, go away!

2008-07-04T22:10:00.003+08:00

I seems this week has brought nothing good to me... Waaah!! Not only is it boring, it is also not that progressive! I feel so irritated and... irritated!

Battalion...
I have been late for two times this week! Oh, man! So sad... What would happen to me?!? One was last Monday and the other was yesterday... Anyway, my so-called mom in school, Ate Micah, confessed to methat she has been late for five times within this year!!! Shucks...

Blow Out!
Three of my classmates had a birthday this week! Enji treated Maikka and me last July 1 (Which was his birthday) to donuts form Mister D. Then, four people I know had birthdays at the same day - July 3! They were Jenny, Ria, Elaine (who is my former classmate) and Chelzza (a sophie who happens to be in the English Club)! Happy Birthday to you all!

Adrenaline Rush
There had been some series of adrenaline rush scenes this week... which is both good and bad. Good, since it feels nice! ^_^ But bad since I know that I've become either slow or idiotic. Whatever. What I know is that I sleep during tests and seat works! And so, I have to run outside just wearing socks! Shucks!

Boring!
This week is actually very boring for me. The adrenaline rushes were not enough to balance my boredom in classes! How sad... I don't wanna remember them!

Damn!
I was so irritated! For one, my goal hasn't even looked at me!!! And two, someone is competing with me for him. And she's winning. As if he's for competition, right? Shaddup! Man, he's everything... T_T

Oh what the HELL?!?!
My God... The PT is next week! We have an SB to do! There's a power point in English to create (which is why Kat, Jen and Cha will go to my house this Sunday...)! How the hell can I do all these and still study?!? Of course, my mom won't let me not study. So the SB has to wait until the day the PTs are done...

I'm so done for! Dead! Shishkebabbed! Stabbed a thousand times then thrown to a river! My God, what am I saying? Oh well... I still have to do so many things so...

THE END

Till next week,
Tenten ^_^

I am... what I am...

2008-07-01T22:20:00.002+08:00

After thinking about something that I can compare myself to, I almost gave up. Then I looked at my wrist and took off my baller, just to play with it. Still no idea. Then, an idea sparked in my mind. Rubber bands!

I really can be like a rubber band. I am flexible, doing different things for a certain period of time once I have the will to do so. But though it may seem like I'm superwoman, stress still gets a hold of me. I get tired, and therefore lose my drive. Like the rubber band, it snaps once too much force is exerted on it.

Once I lose my drive, I become timid and rarely amount to something good. It only reaches the mediocre level. So to all the people out there, I get tired too. Don't stretch me too much just because I seem able. That's why the term is seem. It's just an illusion-making mask. I'm still human!

Significance, Importance, and Purpose

2008-07-01T22:10:00.000+08:00

Every once in a while, I ask myself, "What kind of life am I leading? Where am I headed to? Why is my life like this?" Of course, it's natural to talk to yourself but it's more natural that you think about what God has laid out for you and your life.

I believe that all things have a purpose. As my grandmother said, "Hindi yan ibibigay sa iyo ni Lord kung hindi mo kaya." It means that whatever happens to us, it is God's will. And God's will always lead us to the better, no matter how burdensome it may seem from the outside. In the long run, you will still end up following God's will.

Existence. Everything we see, feel, smell, hear and taste exists. So look, touch, smell, hear and taste the person nearest you. You therefore (.*.) prove he exists. What importance does he have? Following the statement in the second paragraph, all things have a purpose. Therefore, the person you proved that existed has a purpose.

I think that mine goes like this...

I exist for four things - God, my family, my friends and the world.

God. Our Father. Our Creator. Of course I live for Him. He made me, so I make my life worthwhile. I was created to fulfill his will which is to take care of the world. And so I do. Enough said. This is self-explanatory.

Family. After living almost 15 years with my family, it was, is and always will be a fact that I should live for them. In exchange for their love, care, patience, tolerance and support all these while, I really want to achieve my dreams and not be much of a burden. I know I had been a bad member of our home - being difficult, disobedient and stubborn most of the time. This is why I want and need to make up for all those mistakes by not wasting everything they have given me.

Friends. Many might say that you don't have to live for your friends. In fact, they aren't even that vital. Make acquaintances instead but not friendships that might affect the course of your life. *buzzer noise* WRONG! Friends make up my second family. What about you? They probably do too. Refer to the saying "No man is an island." Everybody needs friends. Especially loyal ones. I live for those kind of friends. They are always there for you when you need them and are not afraid of telling you the truth. They don't pretend like mere acquaintances do and they're your shoulder to lean on in times of hardship, like you are theirs. That's why I also live for the purpose of repaying all they have done for me, as I do very little for others.

WORLD. Our world is in chaos. That's a fact. Not all places may have war and riots but the chaos that I'm talking about is the problem we all are facing now - global warming. We are people who experienced living through times of technological advances, but along with this, we are also living through the time where people talk about the end of the world and how it comes nearer as we continue to do our irresponsible acts. I believe that I am also existing for Mother Earth. I want to make a change, in a simple but noble way. For all I know, a little act might make a big difference. And when the time comes that I am already an engineer, I believe I will have more power to do this plan. I know I can make it work.

We have many things to live for, but it always comes down to this: We strive hard to achieve our dreams in order to repay those people who had supported us all the way and through all this. And though we think that we do these things for ourselves, our family and our fellowmen, we are, in fact, doing it for God too. By developing ourselves, we develop the world.

I Believe That…

Life is one great performance - there can be no repeats, no rewinds. All we have to do is act naturally, participate actively, and hope that we’d get a standing ovation at the end.

Education is a very important factor in anyone’s life yet not all can avail it. This should not be since education should be for all people willing to learn and gain knowledge.

Politics is the usual topic in radios, televisions and newspapers yet these media usually have nothing good to say about it.

Tsukanda!!!

Today is probably a day of pride for us Filipinos. Manny Pacquiao won once again.

CONGRATS Pacman!

While watching the fight from the computer, my dad and I can't help but react to the wonderful punches and defenses the Pinoy boxer was showing. We were so amazed.

Another stupendous thing was the fact that his opponent David Diaz was able to withstand those strong blows, and though his face was masked with blood, he still kept on fighting. It was like Manny was fighting with a lamppost!

And finally, in the 9th round, at around 12, Diaz fell. Then, he surrendered. Our own boxer won. Manny's hit was strong and took the post he was fighting with down. And hard.

I really pity Diaz. The cut on his right eye was pretty big and it most probably hurts. His face was dripping with sweat and mostly blood. Oooohhh...

This, I believe, is the best fight Manny had ever had. With his rapid punches and smooth defenses... As the audience banner says... Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Diaz... Is there no one else?

Emergency!

"A Monday without classes is like a Monday... without classes." - Katrianne L. P. Obillo

Okay, so my craziness is creeping in to my blog. Pardon my insanity. Go on we shall to the usual contents of this oh so OA post.

Defunct

Tuesday and Wednesday (Add a little bit of Thursday too!) were days of rest for the gears in my brain. It was totally not working. I think it even started the weekend before that, when my mother was saying my IQ got very low. God, was I stew-peed! It's like I do things the very idiotically. I can't do much right! So much for being on the honor roll...

Comedically funny
As usual, Chemistry is in this category. It formulated the theory: "The simple things in life are the ones neglected." It was based on the fact that the names lab equipment given in our quiz had such simple names but we all thought of hard words to give an answer that will fit its description. The bonus question was the funniest. It was a tube shaped like the letter U which Alpha joked as U-tube and some of us laughed at the pun. Guess what the answer is? U-TUBE! And guess who got it wrong? Alpha and some of those who laughed! So hilarious!

From ultimate impossibility to common fact
It would be the first time in my entire life that I would say I hate English. The topic was so hard!!! As in all of us were so confused. But the dialog was fly *what a word* (Me: Hey Maikka, what's up?!?), funny (Maikka looked so surprised when I tapped her!), and idiotic (Me: Oh, sorry I wasn't listening!). The data sheet in Physics was also the first time we were able to finish first. It was done in recess, and got finished right when Mam Jackie arrived! Whew! In Filipino, I was reciting like I was on fire! Shocking, right? It is so rare that I recite voluntarily there!

Moody them
This week, there had been some teachers who seem to show emotions in the room. Sir Moji for one, did. I think it was about the school escape plan? Whatever. Then there goes Mam Rhea (who's my so called mom at school) to whom I said that it was as if she was in a bad mood when she enters our room then suddenly gets all smiley and good mood when we start class. Oh yeah, and I got called in Math, though once, again!

Difficult as a rock
Analytic Geom was slightly hard, probably due to the fact that my head is always aching!!! And as usual, MAPEH is not hard, but a very vulnerable subject to hate. I really dislike it!!! AP is in the hard category as expected. I didn't get to read!!! SHEILA >:< ... (Though I got my copy, adding this fake anger part will help me lead you to the next topic.)

Destiny
Speaking of Sheila... You might call her squid, or whatever you want, but as for me, I'd call her a yucky destiny (Joke! Peace be with you, buds! Ü) since it's as if she's being rubbed to my face already. Aside from being her group mate in Physics, she became my partner in Math. I know it's OA, but still, I usually get stressed and irritated when she's my group mate. Nevertheless, she's my buddy so I try to put up with her and not be angry. (This would be the time to say "Ma-touch ka na Sheila, kahit konti lang!")

My precious!!
Friendship is very vital in everyone's life.I'm so lucky to have friends like I do. This week is like a bonding time for our group especially with Maikka (wait, every week we bond so... never mind.) This week, she became uber crazy. We keep on laughing and laughing!!! Especially a while ago...

We just got shoed!!!
Shoes on Friday are the best. High heels! I love the way they sound when you walk with them. The clacks are music to my ears! Speaking of shoes, a hilarious moment was when Enji accidentally swapped shoes with Richard! The next day, he said he already put his name on his shoes. Mai and I laughed about it for some while... Hahaha!!! (Enji, I know you'd write this in your blog too!)

Contacts
Speaking of material things, I wore contacts this Monday and Tuesday!!! Wahoo!!! First time in a long (sort of) time, I guess... I didn't use it on Thursday and Friday 'coz Thursday, I was not in the mood and Friday... Well, I kind of slept late... Teehee!!!

No Air
I was making this post while listening to No Air by Jordin Sparks Feat. Chris Brown and I just remembered it as the theme song of the week, aside from the usual Sexy lady by Mc Magic. That song was featured in Advance Stat in the mnemonics of the types of data according to level of measurement NOIR which sounds like 'No Air'! It was also mentioned in Physics since it is when there is 'no air' particles that a place is considered empty space and where electromagnetic waves get transmitted. {How am I supposed to breathe with no air...}

Happiness
Okay, being surrounded definitely makes me happy! It completes my everyday life!!! So nice... I love you, whoever you are!!! Thanks for surrounding my life!!! Mwahhugs!!! ^_^ (Haha, you can't get it? ;P)

Embezzle with honesty
Being the treasurer of the English club, it was my job to collect for the bulletin board, which turned out to be for a lost cause since the amount wasn't known yet, said by our secretary. Whatever. But hey, I'm honest! I don't get money from the 350 pesos I collected!!! Or do I? Of course I don't! ;P It was so hard getting the money from others since I'm so... you know! Shy!!!

Molec, and other related things
By related things, I mean assignments. Oh boy, Molec is gonna be a toughie next week since we're going to start at it. Filipino, by the way, has four assignments given over the weekend! Waaahhh! T.T AP seems pretty okay, aside from the fact that I have to write a lecture from a multipaged lesson. And I have to find a consultant and a science research problem! Too much homework...

Since I have so many assignments, I have no idea how I came up for the time to write this exceedingly long post! Oh well, next week again.

Till then,

Tenten ^_^

Mmm... Ice cream. I ate some this week. I wonder why...

We always think that the second week of classes would already be a hectic one. For me, it was. Nah! Just a bit!

At home it actually was not that busy, with not so hard assignments. But, at school... That's a different thing.

I think grouping things together would be logical right now so... Let's!

Laughter and Sleep.
Chemistry and Advance Stat/Research were pretty interesting this week. Though I have closed my eyes in Chem for n times and in Adv. Stat once (I was sleepy! Though when I close my eyes, I can hear the teacher, it's like I woke up from a deep sleep once I open them again!), we had lots of laughing trips, especially in Chem like the dropping of nuclear PLANTS in Japan, nucleophobia and the family planning thing. SOOOO hilarious!

One is not enough.
Group works have been a major thing this week. From Physics to Filipino, there were several activities where one student just can't do. Physics was kind of hectic this week with all the activities like the ball launcher, classification of scientists and the pinhole camera. Though somewhat hard, the devices were so cool! Filipino, on the other hand, consisted of singing and speech choirs. I loved those performances! The song was made by yours truly except for the intro (I did it since we thought there was no more time left, only to find out it was postponed. We just did it anyway.) and the piece we did for the speech choir was good too, though we didn't have choreography so we didn't get a perfect score.

Dislike.
I believe the subject I hate the most is MAPEH and this week, I started to get a taste of it once again. It's just that it was so boring, and I really believe that I won't have much fun with it - it being dull and all and I don't have a book. T.T AP was also one of my dislikes but maybe my perspective of it just turned to the bright side. I was somehow enjoying, and maybe it's also because I can answer Mam Nazareno's questions. Before, it was somewhat frequent for me to stand up when recitation time comes (I don't study that much in AP, good thing I did now since the topic to study was just short. lol)

Love + Injustice = ???
Don't get me wrong, I love Math plus the the teacher, but I rarely get called! (What a shallow thing to complain about, but still... I'm hurt! roflmao) It's so unfair! I keep on raising my hand but I believe I had only been called once. T.T Analytic Geom is something I like too, for some reason I don't know because I know it usually makes my head ache. (joke! peace! ^_^) I'm really inclined to mathematics, you know? Maybe because I'm somewhat good at it? Another subject I'm inclined to is English, and I love it more because of this blog. (What can I say, I love using the computer!) Though... The topic we have is somewhat difficult, since it wasn't introduced to us before and there was no real definition, only learning from examples... T.T

Sadness
Two things startled me this week - one of a sickness of a person who affected my life and two a big change in the class. When our class heard of the news, we were shocked. Last Wednesday, we went to visit her. Though she can't talk, I believe we all knew that it was a hard time for her. Second thing was of the news that Mam Arlyn, our adviser, is not going to be anymore. With all her books and the shelf gone, the room was empty (Literally, of course.) and I feel that if she wasn't going to be our adviser anymore, the room would be so empty (Here's the figurative part!)

Freedom
Recess and lunch had been not so hectic and just full of laughs, especially Friday's. So fun! Vacant period from 4-5 had been okay too, with the Liriko auditions... I never expected that many would audition! Last year, only a few did.

End
So many things happened, I can't believe in fit in one week. Writing this blog is fun, as usual but, I have to end it... for now.

Till then,
Tenten ^_^

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. - Aristotle

Vacation, over! Waaah! T.T I still have a hangover from the vacation!!!

This week had been the first opening week that I slept late not because I was excited but because I had assignments and articles to edit. Oh boy, could I see myself a few weeks from now.

My first day was very, and I mean VERY, great. I felt so good. But then everything changed the next day. I got sick. Can you imagine that? Getting sick on your second day?!? It's probably because of the heat... T.T Anyway, the rest of the week became awful because of that viral infection that reached me.

Here are some of the nicey-nice stuff that happened during the first week of classes!!

Clubs. I am officially a member of four school organizations: The Molecules, English Club, Liriko, and YEC. I like to be part of many clubs since I like collecting t-shirts! Hahaha!!! I also want to be a part of the organizations that take part in the betterment of the school. So I can help the school four times over!!!

The Molecules. I became pretty busy this week because of it. I keep on asking my writers to pass their articles, but only one passed on time. Good thing the deadline was moved to next week's Monday, or else I couldn't have passed enough edited articles! Being a DevCom editor is hard!

English Club. I'm the VP for the year level and treasurer for the school level! I hope I won't have a hard time collecting money when the time comes. I have loved English since my elementary days so I like this club very much. ^_^

Liriko. I am the assistant secretary. We had a hard time deciding for the auditions and ended up postponing. I like the recruiting part, though!

YEC. I actually just joined because Ate Micah, who Vhil and I call mother, told us to. But I actually considered joining it even before she did.

Diagnostic Tests. This is not actually a good part since it just made my head ache, but it's significant! No opening week passes without diagnostic tests!!! And it actually saved us from some assignments, hahaha!!

New Teachers! I always look forward to meeting new teachers. I like the feeling that it gives me when I already see her in front of our class, showing me a different perspective from before. Like, I formerly saw this teacher as very strict but only to find out that she was very nice during class; those kind of things.

Birthday. It was Maikka's birthday today, which is Friday, June 13th. Weird, how it became Friday the 13th. I don't really mind that though.

Foreign Bodies. And I mean foreign, since there was a Korean student in our school. I actually want to talk to him. I can actually speak Korean!!! (Only some common words though.) I pity him, since I know that barely able to speak nor understand Filipino then going to a school like ours is a hard job to do. But I really admire him since he had the guts to do so.

School Gone Hi-Tech. Our diary now became a blog!!! Yahoo!!! So this is it!!! Hahaha... Well, this blog's over for now. See you next week!!

Till then,
Tenten ^_^
