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...

:(
