all credits go to: http://fuckyeahmath.tumblr.com - for the upper half

and to: http://brainden.com/ - for the three riddles

thanks to these sites, the math bulletin board is fun to look at!

THANKS to FUCKYEAHMATH and BRAINDEN!!!

i feel a heart attack coming!!!

AAAAHHHH!!!! being a Physics leader is SUCKS!!! like everything is your freaking responsibility!

let me explain.

the group report sheets were given back last friday tot he group leaders. but then, i only got two sheets back and neither of the two are our group's data sheets. and what's worse is that tomorrow is the freaking submission day. and i won't be able to submit our report because i have nothing to revise.

I DIDN'T GET THE GROUP'S DATA SHEET BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


now what?

i am the worst leader in the school. i wish that i wasn't an Outstanding Student of the fourth quarter, last school year.

what really kills me is that not only am i freaking out about not passing the data sheets on time but i am also freaking out about tomorrow's interschool competition that i will be participating in.

first of all, i have to admit the fact that i only answered like a hundreth of all the review materials that were given to us, Mathletes.

second, i don't have enough knowledge and logic to answer the questions in the competition.

third, i am a total mess. i ahve many things to think about. i won't be able to focus on tomorrow's competition.

AYAYAY! MAMAMIAH! HELP ME!!!

i still have to finish my short story in Filipino which is what i am currently doing.

so, we'll see what's going to happen tomorrow.

STUPID CRAP THAT I REGRET I EVER DID!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

I AM THE WORST FRIEND EVER!!!

you won't believe want happened today!

and i don't blame whoever reads this if he/she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore because what i'll saying now will be something stupid a friend would do to his/her best friend...

details later...

i still have to prepare my stuff for tomorrow...

I"M GONNA END UP ON THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL!!!

that's not even a surprise at all...

October

October Happenings...

Oct 3 - classes resume from long weekend. everything's back to normal... it is a week from the quarterly exams. should i study now or should i do it later? ... LATER!!!

anyway, that's what i would have thought at that time. back from a week of suspended classes and the teachers sure do know on how to pay and get back all the lost days.

boring...

NEXT!

Oct 12-14 - EXAMS DAYS!!! ha! i have no energy to tell you guys the schedule of the exams which i did last time.

Oct 15 - SAGUTANG DAYALOGO! my partner would have left for the United States of Americs by the time our turn will come for this activity so we did it earlier at a perfect time when no one is watching in the classroom except for our Filipino Teacher! we did half great! half only because we weren't able to memorize our lines to the fullest and we weren't also able to practice together (okay, we did practice but that was without any formal arrangements--it's more of an on-the-spot practice). so we got a grade of 88. not bad.

after that...

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL PLAY!!! we didn't actually redid everything, its just what we did literally that afternoon. the class was divided into two groups. one group had an all-english script and songs while our group had an all-filipino script and songs. so they are incomparable. they also had different story lines. anyway, more about me. i played as a boy who is broken-hearted; a significant extra for it turns out that some humor was added because of me. :D we did great and we had a grade of 92! we would've gotten greater score if we had time to practice but what we did was awesome and unforgettably unforgettable! it was a day to remember!

Oct 16 - ON THE JOB EXPERIENCE DAY!!! the seniors are divided into what course they will take in college. i am in the Accountancy group since i want to be a Certified Public Accountant someday. our group went to Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas where our money is made and where the national finances and accounting happens. the office was wickedly awesome and big in terms of area and volume. there was enough space to work and relax. i sure hope i'll be able to work there someday over the rainbow...

oh yeah, we weren't suppose to go to school on this day but we did. it was the feast day of St. Theresa of Avila on Oct 15. because of this there were no classes Oct 16.

Oct 19-23 - PRACTICES FOR DANCE PRODUCTION!!! we had to practice without a minute to spare--NOT! we had breaks of course. besides who wants to practice nonstop? actually our section kinda did and on that week, all our muscles were worn out. we had aching everything even our throats (not mine. i didn't want to waste it in class--preserving it for family day itself!). on this week, my money was wasted on food and drinks. but i don't regret it. the food were enticing and very satisfying!

Oct 24 - FAMILY DAY!!! the big day has arrived and here is what i got to say:

THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

As I woke up in the morning last Saturday, 24^th of October, the breeze was cold and everything felt different. There was the mixture of nervousness, excitement, and laziness.

OCTOBER 24^th was the best day ever!!! It was the school’s family day. The main event for the seniors and the whole high school would be the High School Dance Production. Since much is expected from us seniors, there were many thoughts going in my head and feelings that were mostly evident.

When I finally got to school that morning at seven, I was expecting that the classroom would be filled with people, all ready doing the make-up. I was wrong and the thought of it made me feel lazy because everyone seemed to be in the resting mode. Two hours before the fourth year’s turn, our class decided to practice five more times in the basement. After the last hour practices, I was then excited to dance. Becauseof this, I encouraged everyone to do the make-up all ready and take advantage of the time left to relax, breathe and pray before our production. When we were called to go line up outside the covered court, I felt the nervousness of everyone which made feel the same thing. It was a blessing in disguise that we were dancing second to the last because if we were first to perform, our nervousness level would reach the highest level of power and we would not be able to dance well! Our class was supposed to dance first among the whole fourth year but we were moved to the fifth, for some reasons the class doesn’t know but I think that God did that for a purpose. Whatever the purpose is, only God knows!

The moment that we had all been waiting for has finally come. When it was our turn, body heated up! I thought that I was going to blow up the dance up. I thought that I’m going to do a big mess on the court and if the class wouldn’t win, it would be my fault. I thought that I was going to stumble down or get hit by other classmates while moving from one formation to another. I thought that we won’t be able to follow the timing of the music and the counting of the steps. In short, all I thought during our dance was all negative. I had a negative vibe and that was bad. It’s a good thing that time flew fast at that moment which made me forget whatever I did during the dance.

The negative stuff ended anyway. The negative vibe died when the winners were announced. Nope, our section didn’t win but it was nice to hear that the section, where my best friend is, won first place! It was probably because they had more time to practice than to cram unlike what our section did. They were awesome and very deserving. I didn’t feel sad when we were not one of the champions but I was happy that all of that was over at last! Now, I have no dance to worry about for semester break.

After the dance production, it was time for the next segment of the Family day: eating lunch and riding rides. But that’s another personal experience, so tune in for more of my crazy life during the Family day!

***this was written for elective homework

that's what happened. here in my blog is where the continuation of the next segment starts.

so we didn't win and it's time to change clothes for the better half of the family day so no time for sobbing and tears for me. after changing clothes, i was suppose to eat lunch with my bestfriend but we weren't able to meet after the dance production announcement. so i ate my delcious lunch with my family. after lunch, my bestie and i met in front of the booth where the teachers make us shirts. we had our own design:


this one was printed in front and this nest one was at the back:

this was hand-made drawn by my bestie! LOVE HER!

we ordered two of these for the two of us which was awesome!

after that, we hanged in front of our ypm office and played Pinoy Henyo. the funny part was when we were guessing and guessing crazy things.

THE RIDES!!!

after that, we ate and waited for the sun to come down a little bit more so we can ride the Flying Fiesta. i was afraid to ride that thing first but my friends convinced me enough that i rode it anyway. it was fun!

but the most remarkable ride ever in my whole family day experience was the Dolphin Coaster. IT WAS THE BEST RIDE OF MY LIFE! literally, yes! the seats were swinging up and down as it moves in circular motion. it was a pain reliever--relieved me from all the school work that i had done for half a quarter.

after the rides, we saw some performance of the grade school faculty, the choir of both elementary and high school and the High School dance stream. then we rode the Dolphin Coaster again because of its awesomeness! then...

CONCERT TIME!!!

it was bamboo as the main act and hale as the opening act. before the hale performed, there were dancers which group name i forgot. they're not important anyway. the concert was a boo at first since we saw hale half away from the stage. but then, one of our friends discovered that we can upgrade our tickets. so we did. just in time for bamboo's turn to rock our night out!

it was all worth it and fun at the same time! it was the most memorable one for all of us escpecially since this is the last for us seniors... :(

Then...

Oct 25-Nov 4 - SEMESTER BREAK!!! we extended until november 4 as a pay back from oct 16. this break was not all boring! i had many time alloted for my Mafia Wars account in Facebook and also for my Happy Aquarium account. I fought and iced many other mafias and did many jobs to gain millions of dollars. add to that would be the properties that i bought which made me even richer (in mafia wars of course). about my aquarium, i have many fishes already and my tank has upsized and my corals are making my aquarium look really good!

aside from that, while my brother or father uses the computer, i read little by little the summary per canto of Dante Alighieri's "THE INFERNO"! it is really interesting unlike the other novels that we were forced to read. also, i have done already our homework in our elective (our elective facilitator gave us an assignment to be done during the sembreak! how uncool is that?).

so that's my october. i had fun and i'll make sure that this November will be more fun and more awesome!

that was a lot! even my september was a lot. i hope my november will be much more than the other two months... :D

what's going happen, i wonder?

can't wait for the future!!!!!!!!!

August 29 until the WHOLE month of September

Hey!

i reviewed my posts for the last months and realized that i wasn't able to post in the month of September! it is really not cool to miss a month without blogging. so i am making up for that month.

My last post before October was all about Camp Math. Let me continue on what happens on the last saturday of the camp then i'll proceed to the happenings last September 2009.

August 29 - AMAZING RACE DAY AND THE LAST DAY OF CAMP MATH! It was the last session of Camp Math XVI. The session is also known as the Amazing Race! The twelve groups of campers are going to compete against one another to gain the amazing prize of something that we didn't know then. The race started after we all ate lunch. There were of course twelve stations with problems that came along with each station. Some were hard some were not. Some needed some common sense and some were made just to have fun and has nothing to do with math (there was a station wherein we have put on some beach stuff and pose for a picture taking). Some needed strategies to complete (we were suppose to build a strong structure made up of straws) and some were a headache (there was a math problem that made us eat up a lot of our time). Some needed group work (we were tasked to do two jigsaw puzzles and it has to be fast) and some needed support for stations that needed only a member to accomplish (one of the group member has to eat the ampalaya gelatin all by him/herself... yup! AMPALAYA as in BITTER MELON not any other fruits). Some were gross (the ampalaya gelatin!) and some were slippery (when we are asked to run back and forth twice while the floor was wet because of the rain.)

Everything was tiring since the stations were far away from one another and imagine, we did this in Ateneo, a big school in terms of area. we had to run from one end to another and go up and down from bottom to top and vise versa. everyone was worn out and all sweaty (one group mate of mine smelled like puke because he had body odor!!! but i won't mention his name even though IT WAS AN AWFULLY AWFUL SMELL!!!)

We didn't finish first but our group (group 4) won the most stickers which we gained during group activities from the first day till the morning of the last day; before the Amazing Race. our prize was a loot bag of chocolates and a sticker of the logo of Camp Math! :D The prize of the winning team were a notebook from the big stationary of Ateneo and the chocolate loot bag.

When we were viewing the slide show of our pictures taken during the whole camp math experience, i was able to get my group mates' Y!M ID's so i can still keep in touched with them even after Camp Math.

Almost everyone was wearing their own Camp Math T-shirt which was sold for PhP180.00.

That was the end of Camp Math XVI...

and the start of September!

September 9 - CLASSES WERE SUSPENDED! It was also the day when our group in religion reported for the church encyclical assigned for us. and to tell you the truth, it's not a really plan to assign me as the leader when the group is tasked to report (heck, i don't want to be a reporter in the future!) not the point really. i can be a leader in anything but not in religion. teacher/adviser is freaking me out and is scary. religion is not my best subject and i would be really happy if god will allow me to study in the University of the Philippines (just found out then that they don't take/study religion :D) that's all about that day. nothing much has happened.

September 14-25 - GREEK MYTH WEEK! it was the week when the class performs individually or as a group (depending on the characters) for Greek Mythology! and i am blessed to be going solo as Dionysus (Bacchus) [since none of my classmates were Semele (Dionysus' mom) or King Pentheus (Dionysus' cousin)] if i were to perform with other gods or heroes, i would have been on the first batch list to perform. turns out, i was part of the second to the last batch. i was supposed to be Demeter (Ceres) but i didn't want to perform as a girl so i switched with my classmate. i didn't have any regrets because this is what happened when it was my turn on the spot light...

September 17 - IT WAS THE DAY WHEN I IMPERSONATE THE VINE AND WINE GOD, DIONYSUS or in ROMAN, BACCHUS! Since he is the God of vine, i had a headband-like made up of leaves; also, i had some fresh grapes with me which i ate somewhere in the end of my presentation. Wine comes from grapes so it was appropriate to have grapes as props. Of course, one prop will make me a real god of wine so i had a real glass bottle of wine. it was still sealed when i brought to school and still sealed until now, nov. 3. my costume was all black with a purple cloth slanting across my body, hanging from my shoulder and pinned on my waist. my classmates thought that i made a great presentation. my sloppiness was very effective since everybody thought that i was drunk. all i did was laugh when i forgot a word (my script is easy to memorize) and pretend to fall back when i walk. in short, i did well! and i am happy that that's done! :D (and to think that i only memorized my lines for two days)

September 19 - ATENEO COLLEGE ENTRANCE TEST! grabe! it's differently different from UPCAT. this ACET is easier compared to UPCAT and a little harder than USTET. I can say that i did better in this test. but i think i did my best in the USTET last august 23. anyway, taking the exam was not the only thing that i did during that day...

my shedule was in the afternoon from 1pm to 5pm. i was accompanied by my younger brother, and my daddy-o. we found many divisions of lines leading to the rooms where we will be taking the exam. there were many people most particularly students from different schools. Some were intimidating knowing that they are chinese and from a chinese school and in my opinion, a little bit better than us. then i saw this theresian. she isn't my classmate but she is a batchmate. we are in the same division of room but not the same room number. she is from another section in school and to be honest, that was the first time that i'll be talking to her. i have to say. she is really talkative and her mouth never stopped until we part ways, going to our exam rooms. i can't even break in when she was talking to me. it was also hard to understand her probably because of the way she talked. if i talk fast like what my best friend says, this girl talks way faster and all she talks about is school, schoolmates specifically batchmates, teachers, and some tips in taking the ACET. at some point during our conversation while we wait to go in our own rooms, i found her annoying already and i wished she would stop but i can't tell her that because that would be rude. she has an accent which made me understand her less. she is like that but i guess that i am partially thankful that i didn't have to stand in line all quiet without anyone to talk with; just like the others standing steadily being patient because the army-dressed college students were holding us back for a long, long, long, time!!!

(i am very sorry if ever the person, that i am talking about in the paragraph before this, will read this post. please consider this as something that i'll have to tell you eventually when we get to meet and greet in school :D)

then finally we went in our rooms and took the exam. there was another theresian who was in the same exam room as i am. she was quiet so it was cool. because of her, i felt relaxed just like the way she was. :D

our room finished the test at about 6pm to half past 6pm. what made this was the other room's fault. we had to wait until the late comers came before we can start with the test.

that's it for that day for me at least. while i take the ACET, my dear companions did something even fun than what i did that day. my father and my brother went to getway and had some uber fun by eating really scrumptious foods and playing at timezone. they spent at about a thousand pesos at that day while i spent my sweat, blood and chills when i took the test. NOT FAIR!!! :(

next event:

September 21-22 - CLASS RETREAT! it was AWESOME! the place was a garden of eden. very relaxing and revitalizing. i wished that i was living there. There gardens outside and an old "Bahay Kubo".

anyway, in this retreat, the main concern that i would talk about would be the sentiments of friendship. if there were words to describe what happened in this day, then my retreat journal has the right ones.

Significant Experience

Having lots of friends has its many advantages and disadvantages. Like when you have many friends, you won’t have to worry about being alone in the corner because you know that there is someone who will be there to be with you. The disadvantage is that you don’t know who to pair with when given a chance to do so because there are many to choose from. And you know that choosing only one in your group of friends will hurt the others whom you didn’t choose. Anyway, this is where my significant experience starts…

It was tragic that Belay wasn’t my roommate during this last retreat. But I guess things were meant to be like that because I wouldn’t have fun if she were my partner and she would think of being partners with someone else. So she wasn’t my partner and I was the friend who got hurt because she didn’t choose me. It was cool because an angel, Bea Bayani, caught me when I was about to fall. Though my partner and I are not that close, I had fun with her. Because of her, I talked and interacted with other classmates who I am not close with yet. Now, in between class hours when the teacher is not yet around, I get to talk with them and have interesting conversations.


Then there was one thing that I never thought that would happen. Since Bea and I are in a different circle of friends from Belay, it was fate that made Belay and I juxtapose with each other during the whole retreat (except when we were allowed to sit anywhere on our malongs). Speaking of the malongs, the activity which made us sit on our malongs, the night on our first day was very significant especially the part when we were suppose to choose a classmate who is either our best friend in the class, or the person who we ignore when offering help, or the person who we want to get to know more. I was expecting to receive the tag of best friend in the class from Belay but instead she gave me the tag who she ignores when offered help. I felt unfair because I gave the tag as the one who is my best friend in class but at the same time fine because of the written message on the paper. It was very sincere which made me cry. Also about the other friends that I was close with, I never thought that I would receive something from them so I felt that I existed when they tagged me.

Knowing that there are people who I don’t expect to care about me, I thank God for they came and were revealed in my life. If it wasn’t for this retreat, I wouldn’t feel any better from the thought that I was not acknowledged by my supposedly closest friend in class. Also, if it wasn’t for those people who have showed their concern, I would have fallen down and be broken apart.

Insights

• Friends are always there whenever you need them just like the waters around us. They refuel, replenish rehydrate and quench our thirst. Whenever we are thirsty for happiness, laughter and smiles, we don’t have to look far because friends are always there to quench it. Whenever we need strength to move on and continue to journey life to the fullest, we stand and walk with the refuel that our friends give us. Whenever we are about to fall and lose hope, our friends are there to catch and replenish us with lots and lots of hope. And whenever we are dry, dull, and sleepy because of boredom, they rehydrate us through their funny jokes and keep us awake with their stories of inspirational life experiences. Just like the water, they will keep us alive and kicking, physically and mentally.

• It is the unexpected things that make one’s life have reason to live just like the creation of fire. These are surprising things that can either make us hurt or happy. Like when you accidentally put up a fire; it hurts you when it burns you but it makes you happy for the light it gives you. Because of the hurt that we feel, we learn to become stronger and tougher. This feeling of added energy makes us think that we can conquer anything that’s why we continue to live. And because of the light that fire gives us, the beauty and kindness of our surroundings are being revealed to us. Seeing the wonderful side of everything motivates us to strive harder in life.

• Everything can change when you least expect it just like the direction of the wind. Changes, like how hard will the wind blow and the direction it will take, are hard to control. It is as if it has a mind of its own. Sometimes, when it blows too hard, we tend to let go of what we are hanging on so the wind won’t have to give us more bruises due to our resistance to change. This happens when we have no choice and when we don’t like any more troubles. And sometimes, letting go is much easier than holding on.

Response

Since there is much water around us, we shouldn’t take advantage of it and abuse it. We should use only what is enough for us because water is irreplaceable, just like our friends. We may make other friends, but we are not able to have the same kind of friend that we lost; for everyone is different from one another. We should take care of them like the way they take care of us. For the unexpected things, we should get used to it, since we don’t really know what will happen to us. There will be more surprises in the future, some would be big and some would be small. The wind always changes and whatever path it would take, we should keep moving forward. Just accept the changes that are happening and prepare for them always. If not, we better have a good explanation and have much strength to hold on.


there we go. that summarizes what i learned and what had happened during those two days.

not quite!

September 22 - MY PARENT'S 18th ANNIVERSARY! HA! i was not at home because, d'uh! i was in the last half of retreat! and you what i figured out? my parents didn't go to work on that day! that means they had delicious home made foods which i like, lobe and will forever eat! and thinking this thought, made me feel unfair because they have a good time when i am not at home! i'm having a good/bad time in retreat while they are at home having a good time with my younger bro!

who cares! at least i got to read my best friend's retreat letter last which made everything great! :D

oh yeah, i wrote an anniversary letter for them when i was in retreat. by the time i got home, i posted it on the refrigerator. they read it when i was asleep so i had no idea on how they reacted when they read it.

September 24 - PALIHAN COMMUNITY BASED! the batch was divided in different communities for palihan. we visited the assigned place in this date. the community that i am in is the CAMARIN community. houses there were like squatters only cleaner and more orderly since they have their court and there barangay chair. I met kids who were really playful (i never thought that i would hang out with kids since i have once said that i don't like kids--except for my adorable dear cousins :D).

September 28-October 2 - CLASSES WERE SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK! this was because of the typhoon Ondoy or internationally: Ketsana. It was so strong that we didn't have electricity for two days from sept 26-27. all we had at home were candle lights! i didn't know how i'll be doing my homework on time if we didn't have lights at home. on that weekend, i went to the internet cafe with my dad and my bro. visited facebook and had this as my stat:

Daryll Joyce in the internet cafe doing homework because we have no electricity at home and meralco's phone is still busy! we have no dial tone and i was planning to go to a friends house where i can do the many homework that our section has but here i am instead surrounded by noisy DoTA players... :( no offense to my friends who plays DoTA :D
September 27 at 5:07pm

yup! it was also the day when i played DoTA for the first time! and... I DIDN'T LIKE IT! now that we have a copy of that game at home, i ignore it and let my bro play it all by himself...

AND THAT"S ALL FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER!

see ya later for more posts...

K! BYE! :D

CHEEZY LIKEY :D

Check this out! :D



I know it's cheezy but me likey! Found it in the internet while searching for Hershey's kisses images (i just like them so much that i gotta have a picture of them :P) The hug would probably be from someone in the future :))JOKE!

that's all!

P.S. Talk to you later since i have not been posting for a very very long time. :D

K!

bye.

Physics Micropaper for Second Quarter

Physics in my life…

In the morning, it is only natural to eat breakfast then take a bath. I wake up, dress up and leave the house to go to school. When I go out and interact with my surroundings, I experience many forces, starting from when the school bell rings.

When I know that I am going to be late for the Flag Ceremony, there is this force that makes my feet rush into the line formation. It is so good at exerting force on my feet to walk fast that I get to feel warm and sweaty. This force acting perpendicularly on my feet’s area is pressure. Because of that, I catch up and don’t get late.

Then when classes begin, other forces appear. Like when changes happen. It is hard to hold on especially when the only support I get is from a thin string which has a very low elasticity level. It is mostly difficult to resist change when I have no support from others. I am tensed in these situations. This is most evident when I am left hanging in the air with much less support or none at all. Like when we have to speak in front by ourselves as part of our monologue task.

Then, there are times in the class when the teachers tend to give us many requirements from different subjects. They give me heavy loads which push me to reach my elastic limit. I get deformed temporarily by having headaches which comes off when I sleep again. Also, I get deformed permanently with the eye bags that I get. That’s when too mush stress is put on me. On the bigger perspective, when I lose my temper, I get mad but only in a short time. I go back to being happy again. But when things get too much, I get to become less elastic, reach my ultimate strength and break apart. That is when I can’t handle the situation anymore which happens really seldom for now.

Also, I can’t possibly escape compression since I have a handful of friends. They have different views of life and sometimes I get squeezed in the middle. I am compressed in a very uncomfortable way. I am also compressed when I feel nervous. This happens most significantly when we are tasked to perform in front of the class. In these cases, all I want to do is get inside my self and shrink because of compression.

In life, there are always people who act as the friction force. They always oppose no matter what. They are always there to stop me from doing my plans. Sometimes, these people are good for they stop me from pursuing on doing something bad. Then there are times when they become hindrances to putting my well-organized plan into action.

Of course, every person has one central force. And my one and only central force is God. With his guide, I continue to move according to his will. He is my source of strength and light. Without him, I’ll get lose and will be redirected to another direction that would probably lead me to bad things.

And I’m sure that there are other forces out there that I have yet to encounter. I think that whatever force acts on me, I am sure to take good charge on them because I know that God will guide me as my central force.

Exceptionally Exceptional!!!

hey!

Camp Math was exceptionally awesome last Saturday, August 22, 2009.

There was this awesome and amazing speaker guy who melted the hearts of some of the single ladies in the Escaler Hall.

I wouldn't want to elaborate, for it not to be obviously obvious.

Apparently, i was one of the single ladies who got inspired that day.

in short, it was the best and the most memorable day of Camp Math that i have experienced yet

it is yet not sure if that session would be considered as the best one...

but i know that the last session would be the day when everything is going to be FUN!!!

that's it for now 'cause i gotta study ahead of time for ACET...

i want to study in that college so badly! :(

something that i am proud of...

SEG PRESENTATION
by B and D

this video is made with happiness and friendship.

so sit back relax and enjoy! :D

HELL!!!

there is only one word that can best describe what i am feeling right now. and that would be...

HELL!!!

let me explain myself...

first of all, tomorrow is the submission date of the draft for our religion presentation on tuesday next week.

second of all, am very unfortunate to have responsible-challenged group mates (except for one, that's why she's my friend).

third of all, i am failing religion.

three reasons say it all.

now, let me elaborate...

first, we are given enough time to make a draft of our presentation. this project assignment was given to us last week. we are expected to make even a little for the presentation. since there are many days to accomplish a draft, i took advantage of the time given and distributed the tasks to the members. they all ready know what to do and what to research on.

second, unfortunately i am the leader of our group. not very good for the reason that i get to be very bossy. the thing is they don't have the energy to do what is being asked of them. one member gave me her research but it was just 20% of what she was suppose to research on. she didn't get it, though i appreciate her effort of making a background research. so far, the only thing that makes me smile even a little is her research, though it still lack more. good job for you! at least one member is participating! we are just four in the group the other two... well i don't think they are interested. one doesn't know what to do and the other doesn't want to help.

third, i am failing religion. i failed the quarterly exam by four points away from the passing score. it sucked! my quizzes aren't that high. my reflections are not as perfect as they used to because we are required to make them during classes which so not good because we are only given so little time for so many thoughts and designs that need to be shown and written. and compared to all my reflections for my whole high school life, i got lower points this year for the short time given to us. and now, since no one is wants to work hard in this project that we have, i have a dilemma. since i don't want to screw this one up, i have this bad thinking. what if i just do the whole draft myself? that would be bad because leaders are not allowed to do a group project by themselves, that's why it is called a GROUP PROJECT. it is meant to be done by groups, not just by a student but by the members of the group! but what can i do? i am desperate to pass this subject or else i won't graduate with the way i have planned it. and my groupmates are not that sensitive, aren't they? because if they want to pass as well as i want to, they would do their best in doing this project with me! and the member that i assigned to work with me because i trust her doesn't help me!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW SUCKISH MY LIFE IS??? I BET MY LIFE SUCKS MORE THAN WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE... WE"RE TALKING ABOUT OUR GRADES HERE, PEOPLE!!! BUT NO!!!

I JUST CAN"T WAIT TILL I GET OUT OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL LIFE! YES, IT IS FUN BUT YOU HAVEN"T SEEN THE OTHER SIDE OF FUN YET, HAVEN"T YOU?!? WELL, I HAVE! AND IT IS NOT THAT FUN AT ALL!

i'm sorry for the things i just said about my group. but, to be honest, i am very jealous to the other groups who have members who are giving their efforts in sending their reports to their leaders. one member of our group did it. why can't the OTHER TWO can???

you guys can get mad at me for being bitchy but that's just the way i roll. if you were doing your job well, then i won't have to type what i feel right now.

i'm out...

PEACE!

CAMP MATH!!!

Hey!

school is very stressful. can you believe that? and for what reason did i just say that? it is simply because of so much requirements that we are required to submit this month of August days just after the exams! i mean... c'mon! we all have the right to rest, right?!? but i don't blame them. they said that they always lack time for everything that's why we will always have homework, projects and lots more right after every quarterly exam... it's good to know that there is a day that i would always look forward to... and that would be all the four saturdays of August starting from the 8th... wanna know why? then read this...

every saturday, we, students appointed by math teachers, go to what Ateneo calls Camp Math XVI. based on what it is called, obviously, it is a camp all about math. in know you may think only nerds go there. but just so you know, you thought wrong! yes, there can be nerds but i am classified somewhere in the middle of nerds and non-nerds. i don't know what people call us but we are not nerds! to be honest, only half of the day is spent in math activities. the rest of the day is about team building and collecting stickers. that's about it.

i consider it as an escape route, away from the stress world of school because it has nothing to do with school. i meet new people particularly students whose ages are more or less the same as mine. so it's a different set of faces every saturday depending on who's going to sit next to you, and the atmosphere is way too different compared to our school. i am more relaxed and collected when i attend math camp. i don't have to worry about anything except making new friends which is very easy for me (even though the friendship that i had on the first two saturdays were not the same). that's what makes it so exciting. you have a new different friend every saturday. though i wasn't able get information on how i can communicate with them even when we don't see each other, we still say "hi" to each other when we walk the halls of ateneo (at least during the day when we meet for the camp, of course) we may have a homework in the camp as well as at school but the homework there are a lot easier than what is given to us at school!

because of these reasons, i want to extend math camp until september... but i can't do that. so during the last day, i will want to get their contact information so i can still have connections with the campmath group even though the four sessions are over.

now, all i can say is, i can't wait till saturday comes! it will be our third meeting this saturday, unfortunately. it is our second to the last session. i hope it will be as fun as the first two sessions!

well, that's it! something that i have been looking forward to. it's sad that it has an end. but i know it will be replaced with something better. but i don't know what's going to happen after the camp so let's just see...

CAN"T WAIT FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!

CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW!!! :D

hey y'all!

our school will be having a make-up Saturday Class tomorrow and it will be just for half a day. it is going to be fun and these are the reasons why...

tomorrow is going to be an awesome day! we are going to have an activity in Physics entitled: LAWN RANGER!!! It is going to be a treasure hunting kind of thing. We have to record our speed, velocity, distance, and displacement. we are going to use really cool soldier compasses! i am the leader of our subgroup. the leaders were suppose to be oriented on how to use some materials and how to do the procedures but unfortunately our teacher has a meeting today. she wasn't able to teach us... :( even so... I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED NA TALAGA (REALLY!!!)

although it is going to be all fun and games in the early part of the morning, our class has a long quiz in Economics but i think it is going to be easy! so it is still cool!

the best part of the day is the other half of the day! i am proud to say that i am part of something that Ateneo De Manila University would call Math Camp! i could decline the offer but it thought that was going to be so good to ignore! so tomorrow from 12nn until 4pm, i will be in ADMU participating in the camp. i hope things will be great even though we will be interacting with different schools!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't wait!

it's sad but true :(

Saturday...

i woke up at 8am. i went downstairs excited, nervous and sleepy all at the same. i ate my breakfast peanut butter sandwich and drank my hot milo. after a minute or five, i went in the bathroom and had a relaxing warm bath. i put on my comfortable clothes and dried my hair. i brushed my teeth and gargled with my favorite mouthwash. i got my bag with my pencil case filled with a pen, four number two mongol pencils, an eraser and a pencil sharpener. i had my jacket with me just in case it rains. i went to mcdonald's to buy my snacks three chicken sandwiches to be precise. i got to the place at about 9:45am. i ate my first sandwich while waiting. i lined up to get in. i found new friends in the process. i took a trip to the washroom before it started. then, it was the moment of truth...

i went in the room and sat down on my chair. i brought out my pencil case, my snacks and my bottled water. i put my bag on the corner as instructed. i took the test and this was how it went...

First Subset...

Language Proficiency...
it was all good and easy. it was like an ordinary grammar test. i was able to finish it on time.

Science...
it was not that hard though some were not taught to us. it was a normal test if you were to study in a Science Schools. but i was able to finish it though i skipped some items.

Math...
it was the sunset of the day. it was hell. it was raining with thunderstorms and lightning. the heavens were crying so heavily. all odds were against me. i was tortured and torn into pieces. my heart was pricked with the pointiest edge there was. it was as if half of me died. it was the scariest nightmare ever to had become true.

Reading Comprehension...
it was the same experience as the first two combined. not so surprising like the subset before this.

i will elaborate on the math part some time next week...

i am going to sleep now...

BYE!!!!!

and i thought things couldn't get any worse...

today is not a pleasant day...

first of all, our first period is Filipino. we had to write an informal theme. early in the morning, w had to do that. and do you know what it is about? it is about how we hate or how we like a personally chosen character from the novel, El Filibusterismo. we had to make our stand why we hate or like the character. it's a good that i have finished mine. but that's not my point. you see i asked our teacher on where to write our informal them. obviously, the answer is ont he bond paper. i knew that of course. i only aksed the question for the sake of my confused classmates who don't know where to write (whether in the theme sheets or the bond paper). and did you know what our teacher did? she embarrassed me infront of the class indirectly by telling the class that it's elementary or basic that the answer to my question for my confused classmates is to write on the bond paper! i couldn't answer back because she's an old lady without any children. she is about to retire by the time our batch gratuates. so i just kept my feelings to myself.

that's just our first period. everything went fine when the bell rang for the next subject. at least that is until after lunch break! do you want to know why? simply because it is math period. and you don't know what happens in the classroom during math period. if you were in my place andyou are not that much of a sport, you might have cried a hundred times or even fight back by dragging your things and ripping off your math notebook. but nooooo. that's because i'm a good sport. i pretend to get pist off (hoping that will stop my classmates from teasing me). but the truth is i'm fine. it affects me in a different way...

not only that! people in the class give different meanings in what i say. you see, it has been a habit of mine to say "i love you" when we get along and we are stuck on the same quick sand. it is just an impression of mine that i guess would be really hard to get rid off. i am saying "i love you" any friend of mine when time allows funny things to happen!

last, i paid for the math camp that only mathletes who accept the offer can go. my dad warned not to pay if we are not brought from school to ateneo via school service (because ateneo is far away from home!). no one would drive me to ateneo. and i made a big mistake! i gave the payment without asking the means of transportation. now, the teacher-in-charge paid already. i have no way to take the money back since i was told just when i was about to go home that we have to go in ateneo on our own. i have to talk to one student who my money greatly depends on! she hasn't paid yet so she can just pay me up! but the only bridge we have is busy on the phone! i am nervous that i might get scolded!!!

these are only four simple bad things that made my day bad, sad, and mad (not really that mad). yes, only four. but they weigh really big that it becomes worse!!!

and to think that i had a really great time with my best buddy last lunch break...

here's the story...

ha! i'll have to write in another post. i have to do my homework first things first!

bye for now!

another of our sibling-bonding time with my bro

hey guys!

just went to the mall and watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with my younger bro.

we were suppose to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen after Harry Potter. but unfortunately mom only allowed us to stay in the mall until 5pm. transformers will play on exactly 5pm so by the time we were leaving, the movie started already.

anyway, i am currently chillaxing now. looking for something to do... and reading El Filibusterismo is NOT on the list!

so i guess i'll surf the net for awhile...

see ya!

classes are freaking suspended!!!

it's the rain's fault. that's it. it's all the rain's fault. let's all blame the rain for ruining a possibly wonderful day for another PALIHAN session. i'm not mad at the rain. i'm just angry. instead of doing something very productive today, i'm slacking off and pushing myself to read El Filibusterismo because I had to. i'm stuck here with my younger bro (i can't call him my little bro anymore because he is taller than me). i like being stuck with him but only for the reason that i am not alone at home.

when there are no classes, the only things that i can think of doing is watch tv, surf the net, eat food, sleep in bed, and when i am feeling very studious, i sometimes study...

anyway, it's the perfect time to rest especially when you slept at 1 o'clock in the morning yesterday (not today since i slept at 9pm last night)...

now, i'm simply forcing myself to read El Fili and do my other homework for monday. i hope i am able to discipline myself to do this. i won't have time tomorrow or on sunday. i can see it. classes are suspended today maybe for the reason that God gave me an extra day to do my homework so i don't have to sleep late on Sunday...

but still...

NO CLASSES, SUCKS!!!

i am a (potential) leader!

hey guys! if there are any...

anyway, last Saturday, July 11, 2009, eight (8) potential fourth year leaders were suppose to go to St. Paul University for a leadership training. Unfortunately, there were only five of us who attended the training and the venue was changed to Paco College (i'm not sure if this is the right name of the school)...

when that day came, i was excited! imagine, we have our own elected leaders in the school. they have their separate training on the same day as the training that i went to. the only difference is that the potential leaders of the fourth year student buddy's training is held outside the school. i realized that we are potential leaders and yet the people who we are going to train with are students from different schools. it's like our training is better than that of our very own leaders at school (no offense to my friends who are all leaders of the school except me).

after the training, i can say that my friends were not the only one who had their leadership training. in fact, i think my training was more advanced than theirs. to be honest, among all my closest friends in school, i'm the only one who is not that good, not that responsible, and not as great as the way they speak in front of many people. not to be exaggerating but i am really the only one in my group of friends who wasn't at school to have a leadership training. and since high school, they always see one another during recognition day which is the day when i spend my time at home feeling bored of summer.

anywho, it is my fault for not being in the leadershp training at school anyway. i was nominated twice for different positions and i objected them both. the first one was the position for YPMO officer and the second one was to become the president of my club, Mathletes. i was afraid of the responsibilities that the teachers will give me. i was afraid that i might not be able to reach their demands. so i had to reject the oppurtunity.

but it has been proven that God has His purposes. maybe the reason why he allowed me not to be an officer of any kind of class was because He instead wanted me to experience a different kind of leadership. so, so far, i have no regrets what so ever.

that's all!

I have to study for 4 quizzes and accomplish a simple homework...

ciao for now!

my lines, vines and trying times... (2)

[LINES]
last Sunday, July 2, 2009, was my best friend's sweet sixteen birthday...

before she leaves for school...

i had a plan to give her a surprise greeting...

i even thought of going in her classroom in the morning to greet her...

my goal was to be one of the people to greet her first on her birthday...

i was about to take the risk of being on time in school...

i also thought of stopping by the National Bookstore before going straight to school...

so i can give her a card...


[VINES]
but then...

i thought that she already left for school by the time i would call her that morning!!!

her classroom was far away from mine because it was on the second floor...

while mine was on the first floor...

the bell rang and we were expected to be on our spot or else we're considered late...

so i wasn't able to buy a card for her and greet her first thing...

because the store wasn't open till 7am!!!

i would have been late if i were to wait for the store to open...

[TRYING TIMES]
now...

i'm so gonna give her a birthday card!!!

i'm gonna fill the card from first page to second page...

i might even write a poem for her!!!

also...

come to think about it...

i can also put a picture of the two of us on the card...

or better yet...

i might even do a scrapbook about the two of us for the past years!!!

It's better late than never!

yo! It's the 5th of July and i know that it has been three days since my bestie's sweet sixteen birthday... it is so not worth it for her to call me her best friend since i have not given her any gifts nor anything special... it was very embarrassing for my best friend because our other friend had something special for her 16TH birthday!!! and my thoughts were like-- this is so unfair... i am the best friend and i have nothing special for my bestie on her sweet sixteenth birthday!!!!

I FEEL STUPID AND WORTHLESS!!!!!

anyway, i know that i was, am, and will be over reacting because of this. you see, when it comes to things like celebrations for special occasions, i am very active. that means, there is no way i will not do something special for the person celebrating especially when that person is very dear to me.

so now, i finding time to buy a my best friend a very special birthday card and fill it up when i have enough time. i will devote a day in writing on the card. even if it takes me till Sem break or christmas break to do it (because those are the only time, probably, that i won't be doing anything for school...

that's it!

by the way, just so you know, i even cried during the morning of her birthday for the reason that i wasn't the one to greet her a happy birthday on that day (i was planning to call her house before i leave for school but i thought that she has left her house already so i wasn't able to do that...)

i hope she still would accept my card even though her birthday was last July 2, 2009...

:(

my lines, vines and trying times...

[LINES]
last Sunday, June 21, 2009, we went to the mall...

we went there to buy groceries...

but i have something else in my mind...

The Jonas Brother's latest album: Lines, Vines and Trying Times!!!

we got in the store where me, myself, and i will buy it from...

i was ready for my money and for the CD...

[VINES]
but then...

mom told me to let my cousin pay for it!!!

it was awkward for me...

in my mind, i was saying something like...

leave my cousin out of this!!!

she didn't listen so i let it be...

[TRYING TIMES]
now...

i'm so gonna pay my debt!!!

still...

i got the CD!!!

also...

i have no face to show my cousin for what happened...

i never thought it would come to this... i'm not paranoid anymore!

yo... hey... what's up, people!!!

and i'm back...

back from Shakey's Retiro that is... their food is awesome but once you repeat the same meal again and again it gets ickier and ickier. we had our lunch there and ate DEAL 1. we usually eat DEAL 2 but since it was just me, my brother, and my cousin from canada, we ordered the smallest deal. but in my opinion, it's not really that small. considering the carbonara we added, it was like ordering deal 2. i was forced to eat a lot of carbonara because my cousin was the one who served the pasta. she filled my small plate with pasta. and i was suppose to finish that?!? so when i ate enough, it was all right for her to let me stop eating carbonara (besides, i have eaten like 3/4 of the whole platter of carbonara--now i'm totally bloated!!!). so i finished my chicken and also a slice of pizza. there were 8 slices and four of them were taken home because the three of us were full and it's all the carbonara's fault!!!

anyway, i enjoyed eating lunch with my cousin. we're closer now than before. she has been sleeping here at home since last week's Friday until today. maybe she'll be sleeping here for this week because next week, she'll be leaving for canada. and to tell you the truth, i'm so gonna miss her... we have been through a lot of times since she came here to visit us. she's my role model now. she graduated from the course that i want to graduate from as well. she' living my dream!!! and now that i see that she is very successful, she inspires me to study harder and reach my dreams!!! it is true that we can learn to love a person in our own free will. and i choose to love her because she loves me back, anyway.

so she's really nice. she got me a some kind of hand-made bracelet made from local materials. i think she bought it from puerto galera since it is printed on it "Puerto Galera". did i mention before that she bought me a shirt as well? well she did. and it was for free. she was also the one who paid for the CD that i just bought last Sunday (which made me love her more and feel embarrassed of her because she was the one who paid for my CD!!!). now, i am so gonna pay her before she leaves for canada. i won't let her go without paying my debt. part of paying my debt to her is accompanying her in buying bread in the morning and coming with her when she shops or just want to have fun somewhere. she's really awesome for me right now. and i know she stays the same forever...

since now we're close, i don't have to continue my posts about being paranoid with her. it's not appropriate anymore... besides, i'm paranoid of other things right now (especially at school)...

anyway, i was planning to read El Filibusterismo today since classes are suspended because of a typhoon... but unfortunately, i am too lazy just to do that. instead, i'll be using the computer to the fullest.

i'll go to other sites now...

see ya soon!!!

the family's first niece/grandchild in my mother's side...

you see...

my cousin was not the only one who is taking vacation here in the Philippines from Canada. my cousin's sister-in-law with her two kids came here as well. her older child went with my cousin to visit us here. my niece from my cousin is really awesome and smart!!! she's just four but she speaks straight english since she was born in Canada. she's really cute and very adorable!!! she liked the kittens and the cats that lived on our streets and that usually sleep on our front yard. she liked riding the tricycle. and she's very friendly! she liked me and i liked her! we had fun together during her stay here at home. she's really lovable!

we spent time together because my cousin assigned me to take care of our niece for awhile while my cousin uses the computer. that's our bonding time together. we scared away the kittens on the street then we hid in the house then go back outside again to scare the kittens again! she also met our pet hamster: Chippy! it's cool that she met our pet but the thing is she wasn't able to see the hamster running on its wheel.

the sad part is that her mom, my cousin's sister-in-law, wanted her to sleep in their house. she can't sleep with us. she was really sad because she wanted to stay with me and my cousin who slept last night here at home...

now, i MISS HER!!! :(

i wish kids will be like that. they're not afraid to talk to adult nor are they shy. they are friendly and answers the question if they are asked anything. but i know that not all the kids be like that... the family is just lucky to have very smart, cute, pretty, adorable member!!!

that's it! the kid who makes me happy aside from my younger cousins on my father's side...

it has been a week...

hey guys! I haven't have any time to post in my blog. i'm already in fourth year high school. unlike the previous years in high school, this year is totally different. there only few quizzes but many projects and homework. and speaking of homework, i got a lot of them. here is list of what i'm suppose to do for next week:

• Religion Quiz
• Physics Quiz
• Physics Homework
• Elective Homework
• Computer Quiz/Long Quiz

as you can see there are only five of them. but in reality they are harder than you think!!! I have to write a paragraph with no word repeating even for once (it's about anything you want)... It's FREAKING HARD!!!!! and also, we have to scramble the letter of the word IMAGINED to create new words. the new words that we created are the only words we should use to make a poem about imagination. how the hell is that going to happen???? i'm not that good and creative. the poem i did don't even make sense. i'm going to post it later if i have time...

that was for my elective... let's talk about Physics. we have to write our own procedure about the experiment that we did last thursday!!! it's hard because it has to be in the write sequence and blahdiblahdiblah.....

the religion quiz is easy. all we have to do is memorize and understand our notes then it's cool. but our computer is not like that. true, we still have to memorize things but we also have to know the details!!! who cares about what ARPANET is anyway. it's gone forever since '90's!!!

anyway, we had our palihan yesterday... it wws fun because we had our orientation on what we're going to do for the year. i am very excited for our activities because they are very challenging and hard at the same time. but i think that i'm going to have fun anyway so i can't wait for all our last palihan sessions for this school year!!!

about today, we had our review for college entrance exams. i had fun because our math teacher is my favorite one!!! unfortunatelyh he's not our teacher during regular class hours because he was assigned to teach in thrid year this year. it's a good thing that i am a mathlete because he will be the one to facilitate the club!!! now, i'm not only looking forward to palihan sessions but alos club sessions!!!! before my favorite math teacher leave the class awhile ago, he told me that there wil a contest for this year!!! now, i can't wait for our reviews with him because, obviously, he's my favorite math teacher ever!!!

we also have a study about Earth Science. i had fun there as well because the topic was very easy! so i had no problems relating to the subject...

now, i have decided to cut my hair because my hair is straight but it has bumps on it. the rebonding session was not a complete success. it's very disappointing. because even though i didn't like my hair straightened again before classes starts, i learned to like it along the way. now, it's horrible and my classmates and friends all agree that i look better with my hair short. they say that i look old with my hair long so i'm going to cut it short preferably today.

tomorrow, we will be eating lunch in a five star hotel for father's day. unfortunately, my dad won't be with us because he has to go to work. so we're bringing my cousin from Canada in the hotel tomorrow! she suggests that the four of us wear formal clothes. that is where my problem is. i don't have formal clothes to wear considering that the only clothes i wear are t-shirts, denim jeans and my sneakers and flats. that's it. i have a formal skirt but i don't know where it is. i have a polo shirt but i don't know if i want to wear it. i guess that i'll be wearing my flats since sneakers are not allowed... (and besides, i don't wear high heels...)

so... that's it for now! i'll post later...

first week of school and awhile ago...

so far so good...

i had already caught up with my sleep. i don't feel sleepy anymore. but for some reasons, starting from yesterday, i am going back to my old self wherein i always get almost late! like awhile ago... the national anthem was about to be sang and it's a good thing that i ran on my spot in line or else that would be my first late in my whole fourth year life...

surprisingly, on the second day of the school, i was assigned to collect reply slips. and temporarily, my class made me the YPMO officer who tells everyone to turn off the lights and fans and close the doors when the class leaves the classroom. it's awesome because they said that i was meant for that position since i can boss anyone around in the class without them hesitating. my class adviser obviously think that i can be a leader. but in reality, i am not. i'm not even half responsible. how can i lead if i am irresponsible, right?

anyway, about today, i was nominated for the same position... YPMO officer. i objected and our adviser accepted my reason. my reason was that i had a grade lower than 80 last year during the first quarter. but that was my last line-of-seven grade. the rest of the quarters last school year, i had more thatn 80 as my grade. in fact, i was an O.S. last year, fourth quarter.

my point is... i never thought that i can use my grade last year as a ticket for erasing my name on the nominees's list. i never wnated to be an officer anyway. i am already in the fourth year level. if i become an officer this school year, my module will be module 2. i will be spending my leadership training days with most of the second year officers. i won't enjoy it since my friends are in module 4 and i'm in module 2. so i think that i made the right decision... besides, i need to focus now on my school work so i can graduate with flying colors. also... FYI, i don't like too much responsibilities. i want to have more time off than time on. you know what i mean...

being an ordinary student is awesome! your responsibilities are not that big nor small.

oh yeah, i have been experiencing eating problems in the morning. i can't seem to eat breakfast properly. when i bite, the bitten food in my mouth goes to my pharynx and not in my esophagus. i end up choking instead of swallowing.

so awhile ago, i woke up at 6am which was bad. i wake up at least 5 minutes before 6am so i can still have time to eat breakfast (i eat really slow because my digestive system doesn't work when i wake up early in the morning. also, i take a long time in the bathroom--about 10 to 20 minutes i guess). anyway, i woke up but my parents haven't yet. so i did everything myself like boiling hot water for both my Milo drink and for my bathing. i took a bath but i didn't eat yet. i only drunk a mug of Milo. when i was about to live the house my mom found out that i haven't eaten breakfast yet. she was about to get mad at me but i was getting late so she let me slip off this time. but still i went to school with a plain bread and ate it during in between classes before recess that morning at school.

at school, i was about to be late. but i wasn't. anyway, that's it! one more post coming up!!!

first day of school

first day of school is amazingly awesome, dude!!!

you see, i was sleepy at school the whole time. i was not able to sleep in complete 6 to 8 hours of sleep last Saturday. my cousin who just came from Canada decided to sleep here at home last Saturday. she took asleep at about 2:30 in the morning. and of course, since she's a girl and she's my cousin and as time passed by we became close, she wanted me to stay with her until she wants to sleep. but my mom said i should sleep already so we can go the mass the next day. so i did. i slept at 1:30 in the morning after an hour she went upstairs in our room and surprised me while i was asleep. the thing is i was startled and opened my eyes to see what was that. it was fun because we spend time together at the same time she slept beside me. so i didn't get mad at her when she surprised me. i am a good sport, i have to say.

so my head was already aching from after recess until i got home. though I was sleepy, i had fun because our class adviser was our religion teacher last year. i was at like at home and there were no signs of shyness. feeling comfortable with your teacher is a big thing. if you had a good time with the teacher already, then you can express yourself without being shy. our math teacher is the same math teacher last summer review. i have hints that he could be our class's co-adviser. our adviser hasn't told us yet who our co-adviser is. our math teacher said that we will be having a diagnostic test the next day...

anyway, there are new teachers. and to tell you the truth, our teacher in economics scares me alot. though he's really amazing, it's hard to recite because he might correct you or criticize you really badly (sometimes rudely, too). our t.l.e. teacher is also new. she scares me differently compared to the way i'm scared with our economics teacher. she gave us homework immediately! our english teacher is pretty awesome! i like her. i alrady feel comfortable with her. i was able to recite in her class. so she knows me even just a little.

well, that was my first day... more about school later... see ya!

the dance that i'm currently addicted to...

we just had our dsl. now, i'm enjoying it since this monday. i've been viewing yooutube videos of the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and my favorite music videos. i'm having fun! the internet is very fast. i even got to watch the last live webcast of the Jonas Brothers in Facebook awhile ago at 8am.

Anyway, after iwatched their webcast, i watched their previous ones. after that, i practiced again the steps of the hoedown throwdown.

the hoedown throwdown... the clip commercials fo this dance in Disney Channel was very intriguing for me. i always catch it on the afternoon commercials, trailers and behind the scenes of the Hannah Montana the Movie. I felt like i want to dance it and also memorize the dance. so i went to mileymandy channel in youtube to check if they have a video of it. and they did. they have a teaching lesson for mandy. miley taught the steps to mandy. mandy tried it three times. she got the dance during her third try. then there was the fourth which miley and mandy danced really good.

i have been watching the video since monday. i only watched it but didn't try to do it at first. then yesterday, i just had nothing to do. so i decided to learn the dance. for about 3 hours, studied the dance and practiced it. then i joined miley and mandy while the music was playing in the video. then by 7, i finally got it! i even did it when i was in the bathroom bathing. and i did it just now and repeated the video twice before posting right now! how awesome is that?

oh well... i just want to savor this moment when i found out a way to get pumped even though I don't know any exercise that is tiring and releases your sweat after many times of diong it.

that's all! I'm gonna have to continue to post about me being paranoid...

what happened during our dates and what i felt about them

one of my older cousins came here in the Philippines from Canada. her arrival was last may 29. we we were not the ones who fetched her. it was her boyfriend who did that (she made a choice). so... being her cousin and all, she promised me and my brother to take us out and give us treats. and this is where the story starts...

last Monday, we went to Shakey's to eat dinner. at first i thought that it's just me, my brother, and my cousin. but i was wrong 'cause when my mom asked her who else was going with us she said that there were also her boyfriend and his younger sister. thoughts begin to enter my mind. when we reached our destination, i recommended the "deal 2" in the menu. and they added mojos and one more large pizza. anyway, it was fun because the four of us (me, my brother, my cousin's boyfriend and his sister) made fun of every word that my cousin said. My cousin, even though grew up in the Philippines, has a very slang accent because of living in Canada for eight years. When she says a tagalog word, she mispronounces it and that's very funny for the four of us. She also has a different manner of holding a glass of water and using the utensils which was also funny when you're in a mood of mocking someone. But there were times during the dinner when i don't really know what they're talking about. so the only people laughing is not me which is bummer 'cause everyone was having fun excpet me.

The second date was awhile ago. We went to the mall of asia. the same group last monday. we ate lunch at Highlands Steak House. the food was expensive but the steak and sauces were awesome!!! So we ate. all of us were bloated. then we went ice skating. my brother and i didn't know how to ice skate. so the two of stayed on the sides until we got the hang of it (at least I did. my brother gave up minutes before all of us quitted).

anyway, the thing that pushed me to know how to skate away from the sides was the feeling that i am left behind. although my cousin guided me and my brother at first, she left us on the side and had fun with her boyfriend and his sister who knew a how to skate even a little. The three of them went across the rink and took pictures of them. they also made videos of them. and you don't know how it feels to stay on the side, practice your balance on your skating shoes, while you see the three of them having fun. it's not fair. only the three of them had fun. my brother didn't. he wasn't successful balancing himself. i only had little time to enjoy when i got my balance. but it was too late since we got out of the rink 15 minutes later.

i am very competitive when i feel like i'm left behind. when i'm competitive it's either i want to lose (only when i know there is no way for me to defeat the opponent) or i want to win (that's when i had already enough of being left behind). I have the tendency of having self-determination and self-control. and always, i win when i choose to win. and if i do win, my ego gets bigger and pride takes over. but even though pride takes over, it's either it ends that way (when there is no chance for me to skate again because we don;t go to rinks that often) or i still practice and improve more (when the challenge is within my reach).

after we went ice skating, we played in the time zone. we played games using the card of my cousin's boyfriend. we used the card until there was nothing left. then we went home.

that's it. i have the feeling there's going to be a next date. my cousin is staying for a month. it has only been 3 days since she came from the airport. she still has three weeks and 4 days to schedule a date or more.

who knows what's going to happen to me before she leaves for Canada.

you know, maybe that's why i'm paranoid. we're not that close so we don't connect. yeah, i'm paranoid all right...

How can the last week of summer be this great?

You see, in a boring life during summer, the most popular things to do when you're not good in sports, or don't have any money to go to the beach and you're staying at home, are watch television and surf the net. There are no problems with the tv because we already have Disney channel unlike before. But there was a problem with our Internet. It's speed is so slow that when you're downloading something it takes you forever to finish. But then that changed last morning.

Awhile ago, a man from the phone company, that we are registered in, came and changed our Internet to Ethernet (that's from Dial-Up to DSL). How awesome is that? Now I can enjoy the same thing I do when I go to the Internet Cafe. I don't have to go there anymore! Hotmail is now accessible. No more reason to go out.

But there is a reason to go out. My cousin just called the family celphone and invited us to hang with her in the Mall of Asia tomorrow. My brother and I will be picked up by my cousin's boyfriend with his younger sister. We might go ice skating so we are also asked to wear socks. How exciting and awesome is that?

Though I don't know yet what's going to happen tomorrow, I am reminding myself to post about why I feel Paranoid before tomorrow comes.

Anyway, that's it!

Killing Time

I have nothing else to do. My brother went in the Internet Cafe near our house because of the same reason. I'm posting right now because of it, too.

My cousin is taking her time shopping and spending time with her boyfriend.

But that's a good thing. It will be better if mom gets home first before my cousin does. That way, my mom knows the time when we take off and the place where we are destined to eat tonight.

I'm all alone at home. We have a helper who irons our clothes but she's upstairs so she doesn't count since I'm alone here downstairs.

It's a good thing I have a blog. I don't know what else to do when I'm tired of watching the television and playing Text Twist over and over again.

One thing I don't get tired of doing. And that is listening to PARANOID by the JONAS BROTHERS!!! It's very addictive!!! It's on repeat one on my music player. I memorized the lyrics in three days.

And just now, my brother came back from the Cafe...

Anyway, he's not important for now...

As I was saying, I'm in love with JB's Paranoid. I watched the music video on Youtube during the times when my brother and I, together with my mom, went to the Internet Cafe. It was AMAZING!!! The lyrics are pretty much useful and applicable to me even though I have not have a boyfriend yet. The song is rumored to be all about Taylor Swift and Joe is Paranoid about her. Well, that's just the rumors.

Every time I turn around, something's just not right!!! Just might be PARANOID!!!

Last Summer

What DID I do last summer?

I’ve been writing poems and listening to music
Cleaning the house and washing the dishes
Going to the dentist and fixing my hair
Doing nothing which is so not fair!

All I did, too, was to watch tv
Surf the net and be lazy
Nothing that’s so impressive
Not even close to productive

I was supposed to be with my friend during her birthday
But I can’t be in the meeting place; there was no other way
And to think that I all ready had a gift for her
Now I have to bring it to school so I can give it to her

My friends said that I was the only one who wasn’t there
They said that they had fun all together
During their reviews in co-ed classes
During my friend’s 16th birthday, filled with goodness!

I blogged about what’s happening to me
I also chatted with friends who are far from me
I made a guide for my last year in high school
I had posted it so everyone can use a tip or two

I did have a review
But it only lasted a week times two
I read two novelettes for school
But none of them was cool

I didn’t even get any chance
To have fun under the sun
No going to the beaches
Just hanging out on our small pool

Summer has gone so fast
We only had two months
To actually enjoy and chillax
How awful and lame is that?

So… How about you? What did YOU do last summer?
