Hay...

I can't think of anything to post right now... I'm, as usual, faithfully counting down to the day HBP will grace me with its presence. My blockies were planning to go out this Friday, and I told them I couldn't come. So they moved it to next next Saturday, which is on July 16! I screamed, "NO WAY!!!" They were startled and then they asked why. So I told them.

JULY 16, 2005--> Release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

They said, "What?! Yan lang?! The book can wait!"

Yeah, it can, but I CAN'T!!!

They just don't understand... I've waited two whole years for that book. I've already carefully strategized my reading schedule so that it wouldn't clash with my homework and stuff. We don't have classes on Saturdays. Every Friday, I'm in school until only 11:30, so I have the rest of the day to study for Math. Long test on July 19! So on Sat and Sun, I'll have two whole days to read it. I'm going for an hour a chapter. Jo Rowling said that Book 6 is shorter than Book 5, so I think HBP will only run until Chapter 30 or 31 at most. If I only sleep for like, 5 hours... I'd have the bottom half of Sunday to do schoolwork! Yehey! I hope we don't have any long tests the following day, or else I'm sure I'd fail them.

Oh please oh please oh please let that Saturday be INTAC free or anything else free. And let the book arrive at like, 6am!

Ghost of SJ Visited!!!

Oi! Hahaha ok, good news! This post will be written in a much much cheerier note! Mali mali na ba english ko?! Ok lang yan, di naman ito yung ichecheck ng prof ko. Pinapagawa kasi kami ng blog, parang proj. Argh! Nakaka-ewan yon... Parang, sapilitang sulat tapos correct grammar and all pa... Parang, kelangan ko pa ma-conscious sa mga isusulat ko di gaya dito, kahit anong isulat ok lang! WHAHAHAHA!

Anyways, kanina nasa Weights Gym me for my PE class... shet, sakit sa katawan... di ko pa nararamdaman now pero hay bukas... puro salompas nako hintayin niyo! Hehehe! Anyhoo, ayan, paglabas ko, guess who nakita ko??? GUESS WHO!!!! Nope, hindi si Ashton. (sayang!) Si MR. IGOR DUCAY!!!!!! WHAHAHAHA! Super, I stopped in my tracks, napatunganga ako! I never expected in my whole life na I'd be super happy to see Mr. Ducay! Eh pinagkamalan pa niya akong lalaki nung December while we were practicing for sportsfest last year! Whahaha! Super happy me! He said he was a substitute teacher in Taekwondo for two weeks. Ang pagkakaalam ko student niya si Val eh! Hahaha it's so funny lang... Tapos sabi niya sa UP Manila talaga daw siya nagtuturo. Hay, sana i-consider niya na magturo nalang ng PE 101 (lecture) sa ADMU! Hahaha eh di parang back 2 4th year na yehey! Dibale, next PE day ko, bubulabugin ko siya nang todo!

Nung Monday nga, umiral nanaman katangahan ko, pero I'm glad it happened. Haha! Eh kasi dapat may INTAC class kami, parang intoduction thingy malay ko ba. So anyway, nilakbay ko pa yun Bellarmine Hall nagmamadali ako kasi kala ko 12 yun classes! Ganito yan, kung yung pinanggalingan kong bldg eh Mainland China, yung Bellarmine Hall eh parang Japan! Ganun yun layo hahaha! Astig ba? So ayun, I was panting hard pa, then yun mga nakasalubong ko sa stairway eh even gave me weird looks! So nakarating na me, found the room, and it was empty. Nagtataka me why pero naisip ko kasi malayo kaya baka wala pa. O baka nagkamali nanaman ako ng room. Dammit. So tinext ko mga tao! After like, 20 mins. of waiting for a reply, nagtext si Osmond na papunta na siya. So while I was waiting, tumambay ako sa labas ng classroom kasi mas malamig. Curse the classrooms that don't have aircons (halos lahat ng classrooms yon as in)! Bigla akong may narinig sa next room, napalingon ako! At pinakinggan kong mabuti... Aba... Sounds familiar... Ayan! Chinese Class! Whahahaha! As in parang talaga lecture ng Lishr, naalala niyo nung 3rd year, dun tayo sa classroom sa dulo sa may 2nd yr sec E? Whahaha parang ganun talaga! Kaya ayun, wala lang, it brought back memories... I just stood there for like, almost an hour... Wala lang, I just wanted to hear it. Dati I was quite certain I wouldn't miss anything about Chinese classes. But now... Wala lang. I miss it... Kasi yun yung sleeping period ko and yun panggawa ng ibang assignments period ko whahahah! Hay, ang weird ko ba?

Sige, yan lang muna! Kelangan ko na lagyan ng unang entry yun English blog ko argh! BTW, super kamukha ni Henny (coach namin sa softball) yun English prof namin! Whahahahaha!

Dawdling helps

Dawdling helps me get over SJ blues. Haha, oxymoron yata iyon! Wala lang. I was fine yesterday, but today, I'm feeling low again. Peste kasing guidance interview yan! Kala ko kung anong interview lang, bigla ba namang sinabi, "So, tell me about high school and your friends." Hayan, it took all my self-control not to break down right then and there. Sabi ko, masaya yun HS. Aba, hindi pa nakuntento! Tinanong pa talaga kung what made HS happy daw? Aba... Di ko na napigilan yun rush ng memories sa utak ko. Iniiwasan ko nanga isipin eh, yun mga pinagdaanan natin, kasi talaga masakit yun sense of loss na nafeefeel ko. Ang drama ba? Hahah! Pero totoo. Pinigil ko nalang, sasagutin ko sana eh, "Lahat ng nagpasaya sa HS eh hindi ko natagpuan dito. Siguro yung iilan lang." Hehe garapal ba? Eh kasi naman totoo... Siguro nga, in time, I will feel at home na rin. Pero right now, I'm still struggling. Akala ko nung one time sa 4th year, I've hit my lowest point in life na. Pero hindi pala. Feeling ko ngayon yung lowest point ng life ko. Wala lang, I'm so depressed. I miss everyone and everything. The warmth, the closeness, the familiarity. Namimiss ko na yung nakasanayan. Ngayon ko lang naintindihan nang lubusan kung anong feeling ng mag move on. Ewan ko, nagmomove on na ba ako? Oo naman, in my own way. I go to my new school everyday naman eh. I make new friends. Pero sabi nga ni Loren sa Yahoo Group Email, iba pa rin yung SJ friends. Sila lang yung lubusang makakaintindi sa akin. Bukas, papasok nanaman ako. Kahit na may kasama me bukas, pag-uwi ko, nandito pa rin yung feeling ng emptiness. Hay. I hope we'll all be fine na. Ayoko na ma-depress! Ang hirap!

SJ 4ever!!!

Eto kami kahapon. Thanks to Mysh for uploading the photo! Marami pang wala jan eh, di ko alam saan nagsipunta, lalu na yung mga softball boys! Hahaha hay talaga forever nato... Mejo nalulungkot me now, kasi bukas back to the new school na, di ko nanaman kayo makakasama... Hay. This is depressing! Naiisip ko ngayon, dapat nagsusulat na ako ng siaokai! Miss ko na yung mabahong obak! Tapos mamaya magpupuyat me kasi maraming susulatin... Tapos Monday nanaman, traffic nanaman! Tatakbuhin ko nanaman paakyat ng 6th floor. Tapos nakapila dapat kami sa 5th floor... Anu nga ba first subject natin? Physics? Wah! hehehe pero miss ko na yun ha. Hay eto nanaman reminiscing...

Naalala ko yun CAT duty, 6:30 kelangan nasa school na! Tapos pagnatatapat sa Chinese test yung duty, may daladala akong xerox ng notes, tapos nag-aaral me ng patago hehehe. Yun lang nga kamalasan pag sa pedes ako ilagay! Katakot yun eh, parang masasagasaan ako ng bus! Pamatay pa yun usok magkaka-lung cancer me nyan eh! Hay pero miss ko na yun... Pero wouldn't want to do ROTC... Tapos pagpapasok ako, half asleep pa ako! Hahaha tapos every time pagdating ko sa classroom, hingal na hingal ako. Sinong di mahihingal, eh 6th floor yon! Tapos natatawa sila Kartier sakin kasi nung itinapon ako ni Ms. Emnace sa pinakaharap, kung natutulog ako, isinusuot ko sa loob ng locker yun ulo ko. Hehehe, di kasi ako makatago eh! Sa likod madali matulog, lalu na nung nasa harap ko si Jep! Sabay kami matulog hehehe! Minsan hindi ko na siya napapansin na umuupo sa harap ko, kasi kung hindi siya late, tulog ako, hahaha ang weird noh? Tapos yung ipis namin sa locker na si Arnold...

Naalala ko nung retreat, kasama ko si Sarah, Johann, Jeremy (tama ba?), Erold, Raymond, and may isa pa... Basta 'yon! Haha tapos eh yung diad part yon, nagsamasama nalang kami. Tapos naalala niyo ba yung pathway sa right side? Yun naglelead sa yung may mga cross? Pumasok kami dun... Eh almost 6pm na yon, wala pa kaming dalang flashlight... Si Johann yung nasa pinakaharap nung tapos magkakapit-kapit kami nun hahaha kasi parang gubat na yung paligid eh nakakakilabot na sunset na kasi! Tapos biglang huminto si Johann, sabi niya, "Uy may fog... Ibig sabihin niyan... MAY MULTO!!!!!" As in sigawan kami takbo pabalik! Hahahaha! Sobrang freaky talaga yon noh! Tapos may isang part, diad ulit, si Joseph yata kasama ko? Maliwanag pa nun, tapos nandun kami sa may cross, natagpuan namin sila Mark Lim and iba pang mga tao. Ayun, naglakad-lakad kami. Nung gabi, bigla ba naman may nagkwento na kaya pala ayaw ni Mark sumama sa amin maglakad doon kasi may nakikita na siyang white lady sa may mga cross! Shet! Eh nandun kami naglalakad!!!!!!! Tapos nagbalak pa kami mag ghost hunting nun, diba merong librang merienda nung gabi? Last night ba natin yon? Basta yon! Kaso yun lang nga eh may bantay kaya di nagawa... Di panga kami nagigising ni Sarah para mag yoga nun eh! Nung second day, kala ko nananaginip lang ako na may kumakatok, ayun pala ginigising na kami! hahaha! Di na yata kami nagbrreakfast nun eh sa sobrang late magising!

Hay, ang sarap ulitin... Si Mysh nagsuggest kay Mrs. Ramos na magretreat ulit yung batch natin... I think it's a good idea. Yun lang nga magulo yung mga sched natin di magkatugma, pero siguro Christmas vacation? Sana naman... Sana magkasamasama ulit tayong lahat. Naalala ko pa yun sobrang hectic na pagsusulat ng reco letters! Grabe kahit class hours reco letter yun sinusulat ko hanggang sa mga program sa auditorium! Hehehe gusto ko pala pasalamatan ulit yung mga sumulat sa akin ng reco letter! And sorry sobra dun sa mga di ko nasulatan ha... Di ko na kasi maalala sa dami ng sinusulatan ko... Hehehe.

O sige yan lang muna... Grabe ba itong phase nato? Puro SJ yung title ng posts ko? hehehe! hay, more to come yan! Hangga't di ako makaadjust, hangga't di pa ako comfy... Naku, puro SJ yung magiging title neto... At puro reminiscing ang dating... Hehehe! Magkaroon kaya tayo ng 1 year reunion? Hehe la lang! =)

Happy Fathers' Day nga pala sa lahat ng dads out there!

Pahabol lang...

Wala lang... wag niyo lang pansinin ito...
Naisip ko lang kanina... kanina ko lang napansin...
Kala ko, oo, mamimiss ko naman talaga eh. Hello?! Di naman ako taong bato. Pero... nung nakita ko, grabe, parang, shet... Ang tagal ko na siya di nakita... tapos napatunganga ako... Ang weird ba? Tapos wala lang, mejo inisip ko na... I'd rather be green than be blue... Whahahahaha! Hay kahit maging blue blooded ako, green at heart pa rin ako noh! SJ 4ever! Wala lang. Kenebs, si Cebu, haha wala lang, namiss ko grabe lipat na ako jan. Panggago talaga. As in napatunganga ako nung nakita ko siya. Kahit maraming gwapo sa blue, iba pa rin si Cebu. Haha rhyming ba?! Ewan ko, basta ganun feeling kanina. Hahahahaha! Pero kilig 2 death ako dun sa isa noh?! Sayo pa ako sumiksik nung tumitili ako whahahahaha! Ang gago ko ba?! Pero he looks better now ha, yung isa. Hahahaha kinikilig me upto now! Hahaha Grand Stand ulit tayo para... heheheh! Sige nanga nababaliw na ako!

SJCS... My HOME.

Hey! I got back from SJCS about three hours ago... I'm sooo HAPPY!!! As in! I've been wanting to see my batchmates for a long long time, and of course I thought there would be a few of us who'll be there. I didn't expect that as many as a bit more than a whole section would be there! Kami na yata yung pinakamaraming kakagraduate lang na bumalik sa SJ for mass! As in! We sat upstairs, at the right side of the balcony. We were sooo noisy! Hahaha! And it was pretty hot there, so we kept on sweating and fanning ourselves! But I had so much fun, although I just stayed there for like, 2 hours at most.

There were a lot of changes. The first thing I noticed is that in a part of the mass, ok, I forgot whick part it was... Oh, it was the consecration. They put the lights out and focused the spotlight on the priests. They didn't do that when we attended mass! hmph. Anyway, there were changes in the administration too and the faculty and staff.

There's a new principal. I don't know his name. I think he's a priest/lawyer with doctor as his title. Miss Priscilla Lopez is outta the picture! Muahahahahhaha! But why did they wait 'til we were gone to do that?! Our last year in SJ would've been more fun without her... Hehehe. Well, I guess not, because without her, there's no excitement! Right guys? hehehe! Si Mr. Gelido pa! He's still there! Aling Remy, the oldest canteen staff, also resigned. Tama ba canteen staff o maintenance ba? Basta lagi siyang nasa lunchborders! She served SJ for 42 years! Whoa! And some of our grade school and prep teachers also left... And Mrs. Hicaro, our RHGP teacher! She was boring, to tell you the truth. But she's very nice, nonetheless, so I kind of feel bad she left. Too bad for those who didn't have her as a teacher. And wala na daw THE sa 4th year and RHGP! Whoa, I'm sorry, but that's less fun for them! And I heard they were given more maths, and the morning bell is earlier and the lunch bell is later... Whoa, torture. But I'd still love to go back to SJ, basta with my batch...

Kanina was a lot of fun! Nandun pa rin yun "Picture! Picture!" Hahaha! Never nawala yan! Kahit nagsi-alisan ang mga tao nung camera ko na yung ipapangkuha... Ok lang, Mysh is there. Diba Mysh? Photobucket ah! Hehe! Sayang I didn't get to spend more time with you kanina. I missed you so much! Grabe, I missed everybody so much I hugged whoever I saw! Ok, yung iba hindi. Hehehe. Pero most of them. Lalu na si Kenken! Super hug! Hahaha! Miss u Ken and Kambal! Tea! 'Twas good to see all the softball girls and guys! Uy Ken, nandun si ano... Hay kilig me to death! Hahah mukha akong tanga kanina! Noh? And si ano... Lam mo na-miss ko siya SOBRA ngayon ko lang narealize! Hay... Sayang, you're prolly all at Grand Stand now...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MELLANY GO AND JESYLYN GO!!!

China Days

Finally, here are the pics I promised long ago... Hehehe. Sorry it took me so long. I was savouring the last days of summer then... so I always stayed out with my friends. This is weird, but about two days before classes started, I started to watch Meteor Garden 1 again! Hahaha! I haven't seen that in like, two years! I missed it so much... Ok, I think it all started when Maria and I were waiting here at home for people to arrive because we were going to have dinner. Then she suggested we watch this Korean movie. At first, I didn't want to because I kind of find those corny... But I agreed anyway 'coz we had nothing to do. Well, it was certainly corny and exagge! But it was funny too! At the end, i was supposed to change my clothes for dinner, but I couldn't take my eyes off the TV because I was waiting for the couple to get back together! Argh! Hahaha we ended up making Grace wait for an hour in the restaurant! Sorry Grace! Anyway, the next day, my brother let me watch yet another korean film titled My Fair Lady. It was really weird at first, but the ending was nice. There's something common to both films besides that they're Korean... The leading guys aren't cute but the leading ladies are very pretty! Haha! How could they take it?

Ok, so anyway, I got way off topic there, sorry... So after all those, I suddenly had this craving for more chinovela. So I got MG1 and watched it. I just finished watching yesterday... Unfortunately, I forgot that someone borrowed MG2, so I have nothing to watch now. Then I started thinking about my trip to China... if you read my previous posts, you'd see that I didn't really like being there at first, right? But the longer we stayed, the more "at home" I felt. When we left for HK on the 6th day, I almost didn't want to leave. Well, almost cried... That was weird. And I miss my irritating and annoying tour guide. He's become a friend somehow. I wonder what he's doing now? Hehehe.

I don't know why I miss China. Maybe because when I was there, I had no clue what's ahead, and somehow, those days were still counted as my SJ days... It was tiring, but relaxing and fun at the same time. I like travelling. When I'm out of the country, I feel like I'm free or something. Haha! I dunno why. In other countries, I'm free to walk in the streets. Here, I don't walk. It was pretty cold in China when we got there; we caught the last shreds of spring. The sceneries were magnificent. I absolutely love the garden we went to on the last day. Hay. I never really wanted to go there, never really dreamed of it. But now, I don't know. I wanna go back to China someday. Weird, isn't it? I think it's because when I was there, there was no pressure at all. All I needed to do was get up early and go have fun. Now... I'm back to reality. Ugh. Reality sure bites, doesn't it?

I never knew I'd miss this song this much. Now I kinda regret not singing it every chance I had. I kinda regret going home right away every after dismissal. Parang sana tumambay nalang muna ako. I miss St. Jude Parish. I regret thinking na, "Makakaalis na rin ako sa SJ sa wakas!" Right now, I wanna go back. Kahit bigyan pa nila ako ng sangdamakmak na Huwawun at Lishr notes, I wanna go back. Guys, kasali ba talaga ito sa transition into college? Excited nanga ako sa Saturday eh. Sana payagan ako. I just miss being there, in our humble campus. I feel at home there. Kahit saan doon, alam ko na kung anong makikita. Di ko na kailangang maghagilap pa. Kahit yung mabantot na CR at yung overpriced canteen natin miss ko na. Naaalala ko pa yun sobrang nakakatamad na pagkopya ng notes. Xerox lang sagot diyan... Ngayon, kahit pakopyahin pa nila sa akin yun lahat ng tsiang-i ok lang, basta nandoon lang ako kasama kayong mga Sj people... Bakit ganon, ang lungkot ngayon? High school nga daw yung happiest days of your life. Sana naman happy rin yun college life. Siguro nga sa simula palang ito. Sana talaga. Kundi baka di ko makayanan... ewan.

SJCS Days

Grind

I just saw this movie awhile ago in HBO. I've seen that DVD in my brother's room before, and I kept on ignoring it, thinking it was some flop movie. Well, it wasn't Titanic standards but it was a hell of a good time! I've seen a lot of movies like that, you know, typical happy ending. It's about these four guys who wants to make it as skateboarders. Or is it just the one guy? I'm not sure, I have to watch the first part of the film. I'll get that DVD later. Anyway, the lead guy is cute. I don't know his name. Adam Brody was there. You know, the guy from The OC with the dark curly hair? He looks preppy. He's so adorable.

Anyway, my laptop's sluggish today. It's sooo slow. I hate it. But I just wanna babble away now so... It's your choice to continue reading or not. So anyway, I got home at about 11pm last night. My family and I had dinner @ Bubba Gump in Greenbelt. Had lots of shrimp. Then I fell asleep watching Meet Joe Black. Brad Pitt was absolutely handsome in that movie. I love the party part. And I've seen it tons of times, but I just understood it recently. Well, ok not that recently. I had to watch it three times to get it. Haha, I'm dumb.

So I woke up at 5am, I don't know why, maybe it was nature's call or something, and I wasn't able to fall asleep since. Because I watched Grind. Or whatever. And it's kinda comfy now, the atmosphere. A li'l bit later and it's gonna be hot again. Yesterday was wonderful. It rained all day. I love rain. I don't know why. I wrote this lengthy essay-thingy about why I loved rain. Am I a freak or what? Then after that, I slept all day. Fitfully. I kept on thrashing about, and when I did fall asleep, I had these weird dreams. There was one about a little tiger the size of a hamster nibbling my index finger. That's all I could remember. Everything was just a freaky blur.

Today is my last official vacation day. Starting tomorrow, I'd be doing college-related stuff. I really wanna go see Star Wars with Melanie. We watched A Lot Like Love last Saturday. It was way funny and it's not the typical love story. Well, I couldn't go see a movie today because first of all, I don't have money. I borrowed some from my bro last time and I haven't paid him back yet so I doubt he'll lend me again. The other thing is, I've got to prepare for Orsem tomorrow. I can't risk going there unprepared and lacking requirements and stuff. ADMU is far from here; Unlike before in SJCS, I could just call up home and ask the driver to bring stuff to me. It'll take approximately an hour to get to ADMU. So, big problem there. And third, I wanna go to SLEEP.

Ok, that's about all the rambling I'm gonna do today. I just wanna finish breakfast and go to sleep. I have these forms to look for and fill up still.

OrSem Alert!

I just received my letter for the OrSem on June 7-9. I'm glad I didn't have to wear red 'coz there are shirt codes for each uhm, school of something. I hope you get me. I'm still not allowed to wear red. I wear pink, but my dad said we're also still not allowed to wear pink. I wear it anyway. So here goes the schedule. I may be mistaken in some parts 'coz it seems that I've lost the brochure already. 30 minutes in my possession and it's gone. I wonder where it is. Oh well. Anyway.

June 7 - 6:30 am - 5:30 pm

June 8 - 7:30 am - 4:30 pm

June 9 - 6:30 am - 8:00 pm

Ok, this is worse than the SJCS schedule! What am I supposed to do there for almost have the day? And in June 9, more than half the day? 14 hours of what exactly?! I'm hoping it's gonna be loads of fun. I hope there'll be bands and stuff. I'm gonna bring my camera, just in case. And I hope the cute guy I saw the other day, who, as my dear friend says, is an Atenean, would be a volunteer there. More perks for long days then!

Ok, I think that's all for now. I have to... Whatever. I don't know what I'm supposed to do... I have NO MONEY... =(
