happy birthday to me!

*NOTE: this post was posted (weehh) last friday but because of technical difficulties of blogger (i.e. failure to separate paragraphs), i reposted this post to today so that it would be pleasant to the eyes *

actually, my birthday was really last tuesday. but because of all the crap from school, i wasn't able to celebrate it last tuesday... so i betrayed my real birthday and postponed it to today because today im partially celebrating it... haha... what do i mean by partially? im celebrating it today wih my family! i'll schedule another day to celebrate it with my friends and 2B.... haha... i was supposed to have a party tonight but since this week was so cramped with crappy stuff that made me sooo busy, i had no time to plan or prepare or anything... sob... but it was actually a blessing i didn't have any party today because of the whole trillanes mutiny yesterday which might have led to no one being able to come because of strict parents... haha... like what i always say, god works in mysterious ways ^_~

right now, i can smell all of my favorite food being cooked... mmm... roast beef with my mom's super delicious buttery-gravy, lasagna, paella, and mashed potatoes... i have it every year. it's like a tradition. and of course, for dessert, my favorite vanilla ice cream and conti's chocolate overload cake and mango mania which we just bought. another tradition for me is to buy a venti peppermint mocha frap which i fulfilled last tuesday because it was the only thing i had time for. haha... i bought another today on our way to buying the cake... wee... i just simply love it... it's like 15 minsutes in heaven for me (that's how long i take before i can finish it)... the bad thing about all this food is that it's going to make me fat... haha.. i blow up so easily... why can't i have perfect metabolism like some people? prepare to see me fat on monday... hahahaha... whatever, it's just once a year...

i cant believe im 15 already... it seems only yesterday that i was 14... well actually it was 4 days ago... haha... looking at my life (yes naman) im not sure if i've done/accomplished enough for a 15 year old. i need to become a more productive member of the society.... haha... asa pa ba? well research and math simply hinders me from doing so... haha, here i go ranting again... those two walls in my life striked again yesterday... waiting for research was simply horrible... by lunch time, i felt like i wanted to jump and break a leg or something just not to go to research. it felt like a death march while i was walking from our usual tambay place in the theater upto the 2B classroom. but thank God we weren't called... we so weren't ready to present yesterday... and then math came... it turned out to be worse than research.... SHE (Cruella de Vil - the cruel devil) gave us a quiz so freaking hard i doubt i would even get more than 5 points... ugh... she must die! but like what romano said, ang masamang damo ay mahirap mamatay. why do you think is the reason why math and research haven't been murdered and decapitated yet? so much for my ranting...


well, like what i said... i'm already 15 and i still don't know what i want to be or what course i'll take... i've always wanted to be a teacher... my lolo and lola were teachers and now my sister is planing to be one... but i don't know if id be satisfied with such a simple job. i mean it's probably one of the most honorable jobs in the world but it's too simple... i want something bigger...

so next in the list is medicine. why? i've always loved science and i think studying it will interest me the most. i'm strongly considering surgery because of the medical shows i watch especially GA which influenced me a lot... i think that this generation is pretty lucky because of tv shows which showcase the careers of people... they give you a glimpse of what it is to be a (insert profession here) at a young age making it easier for everyone to decide what they want to be and at the same time gives you an idea what it takes to take that career. i don't know how i'd decide without shows that give me a glimpse of being a working person. but there are some things that are pulling me away from medicine. for one, my sister who graduated BS Biology in UP dropped out on her 1st month in med school. she claimed it was too much for her which scared me a little. my sister who is very smart was pulled away. what if it happens to me too? and of course, blood and the idea of cutting someone open still terrifies me... but the thing that horrifies me the most is that people's lives depend on how well you do your job. i mean, if you're an accountant and compute for something wrong, it won't kill anyone... but a simple mistake as a doctor could kill anyone... plus, doctors barely have time for anything aside from their patients which i observed in shows i watch... or maybe this is a wrong perception? but still, i don't know if i want to take a job which would eat up all my time and at the same time make me feel anxious... but there are rewards of course... doctors tend to be rich and it would be so fulfilling to save a life.

since there's a possibility for me too veer away from medicine, i could always take up law since i'm a debater and social studies and the law interests me a lot as well. but there's a downside to law also... although a life literally might not be at stake, but if you screw up, you kill someone as well, but figuratively of course. but that's a defense attorney im talking about... well, i could always be a corporate lawyer or a company employee or a manager, but jobs which require you to stay in an office for hours without any excitement might kill me. in short, i like a not so exciting job which would make me anxious all the time but a boring job is definitely a no-no. because of my hatred for math, i'm not considering as of the moment any math heavy course (accounting, engineering) but let's see... haha... crow's feathers might become white and i might suddenly begin liking math. haha...


i haven't realized that i was blabbing about what i would like to be for a long time now... sorry for boring you again... but for those who are like me who are not yet sure of what course or job to take, i hope it helped... haha... oh well i still have 2 1/2 years to think... but i'm getting old and i really need to start thinking.... i do hope i already have the answer when the time comes.. i don't want to end up hating my course or job... good luck to me and to everyone... haha... i shall end my blog entry for today here. because i think the gravy is finished and i want to be the first one to taste it... enjoy the long weekend! ^_^

life is like a ticking clock, it's noisy

IM REALLY EXHAUSTED...
i just had my nihongo final exams... it must be the hardest test i took in my life... uhuhuhu... well, perhaps not including the comprehensive exams in grade 7... no... this was much harder. even though i prepared for it like hell (i've been studying since last week - especially last night and this morning), it was sooooo hard. i just to give you an idea what a nihongo test is like, it's composed of 4 parts namely writing, listening, reading, and grammar... the writing test is mainly about kanji... to give a brief background of the japanese language, it has three alphabets - katakana, hiragana, and kanji... hiragana and katakana is similar to our ABCs... they can be memorized in a day or so... hiragana is used in japanese native words, and katakana is used in japanese words borrowed from other languages mainly english... you'll be surprised at how many english words there are in japanese... like boorupen (ballpen), konpyutaa (computer), eribeeta (elevator)... haha.. words in katakana are my favorite... they are soo funny... but kanji is a different story... they're these very complicated figures you see in restaurants... a kanji is like a symbol for a word... imagine the word "sun"... in our language, it's written in letters right? but in japanese, the word sun can also be written in hiragana or katakana (the letters), but it has a kanji meaning a kanji stands for a word... so if we had kanjis, sun could be represented by a symbol æ or something. since there are thousands of words, there are thousands of kanjis... and they're freaking hard to memorize... wow, so much for brief... haha... anyway, moving on, the reading part is just as hard... they give you a story to read and you need to answer questions about the story... the listening part is the hardest... there are these tapes that says a bunch of statements in a very fast, non-comprehendable manner... and you need to answer questions about those statements as well... since my ears are not used to japanese, i find this test the hardest. and last is the grammar part, which is fairly easy but in today's test, it was the most difficult... what makes the whole freaking thing more difficult is that i've only attended 3 out of 8 classes in the second term of the course which is basically where the finals is based from because of soo many stuff to do on saturdays. so i had to study on my own... and because of all the crap from school, i just have no time to study so much... the most pressuring part is, 10000 pesos worth of tuition is at stake... if i flunk this test, i need to repeat the whole course... (i'm in elementary 2 now)... and there are only 2 tests for every course, the midterms and the finals... ugh, no chance to make bawi at all... im praying i passed at least... studying another language is definitely not a pickle... imagine studying english from scratch... that's why i'm not considering spanish as an elective in 4th year... but then again, being quadlingual (if there's such a word) is pretty cool... plus, they look good on resumes when applying for a job. but my main reason for studying japanese is because of heritage... period. haha... it might be useful someday though... japanese call centers pay thrice of what english call centers pay you... maybe i'll become a doctor in a japanese clinic. i hear they get higher pay than ordinary doctors... or maybe a japanese sensei (teacher)... my teacher is freaking rich... i hear he gets a lot of pesoses per hour $$$$. hmm...

sorry for boring you... haha, i just had to pour out my exhaustion and stress... instead of spending time with 2B yesterday and today which are the only 2 rest days of the week, i had to study and take a super hard exam after a week of studying... just imagine studying after studying... BLEH.... at least it's all done now... assuming i pass, i won't attempt to take japanese when there are classes... it's just impossible... ill just continue next summer, like what i did this year's summer. AND THANK GOD, I'M PROBABLY STAYING HOME NEXT SATURDAY AFTER 5 MONTHS OF BEING OUT OF THE HOUSE EVERY SATURDAY... YAHOO!!! NOW I CAN FINALLY CALL SATURDAY A WEEKEND AND NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE WEEKDAY!!! well, anyway let me tell you what happened yesterday...

well actually the stress started Thursday night because of this freaking math project... we have to submit the draft of our "website" project... it's like the most senseless project ever... everyone has better things to do aside from reading a math tutor website made by high school sophomores.... hello? we tried appealing for a powerpoint presentation instead so SHE can show it to her future students... BUT NO... it has to be a website.. so i started a rant about math in my stat messages in my YM... haha... it became too long that i decided to just put in my blog when i write again... so i started months ago with math and research must die... now i have plans of writing a book entitled how to murder math for dummies. that is when i figure out how. on second thought, it might be a good research problem : the efficiency and feasiblity of murdering math. on third thought (haha), why not just murder research as well. before scientists try to discover how to clone or how to do stem cell research (yes, san ko napulot yun? - haha), they should discover how to murder math and research first to alleviate the sufferings and stress of students like me. and so if there is less stress and suffering, there will be less sucide cases, less obese children (stress is fattening), less students who fail because of these subjects, thus creating productive students, and in the end a better world... haha..... this was how my idea about hate of math and research (the first idea being math and research must die) evolved... what a creative mind i have... muhahaha... so much for my loathing for math and research...

so friday came... we had this homework in english about proverbs... and this was where the fun started. by recess, we were panicking because some of us didn't have any yet... so instead of being productive, we made the whole thing a joke... we created philospophical (pilosopo) proverbs. they made me laugh... A LOT... muhaha... one of the pilosopo proverbs we came up with is my title... it was the funniest... haha... it came from the original "life is a ticking clock, it doesn't stop unless it runs our of batteries." "What use is grass then the horse is dead?" became a dying man needs a doctor... haha... sorry, it sounds corny right now but it was funny then... then there's "a writing hand needs a speaking mind" which became a writing hand needs a ballpen... haha... anyway.... it continued until PE time... but i really had time doing the proverbs... i came across one which i like "better stay quiet and be thought of as a fool than talk and remove all doubt"... haha, in short, don't talk when you have nothing to say... haha, may pinapatamaan ba? secret :D.. after that, we had english which was very fun... i like listening to other parents' love stories... my parents' love story is funny... haha... basta. ayun lang, i wasn't able to go to JR's house and eat because i had to study... sayang, haha... gutom pa naman ako kahapon... yun lang... haha... i almost forgot my ..birthday is on tuesday na! wohoo... i don't know what to do yet... my bday is the same as Pat... haha... 2 years ago, we celebrated it in EK... but i haven't consulted her yet. last year, we were supposed to go to the mall bu the rain stopped us and it never pushed through... haha... hmm... i'm considering a party at my house on friday since wlang pasok... but... haha, last time i had a party at my house was my grad party in grade 7... grabe, so many people from my class came... it was such a havoc. my mom almost killed me. hmmm... what to do? maybe not a party, just a nice dinner or something... guys, if my mom allows me, punta kayo ah!!! inuman tayo!!! joke!... time to rest... and watch GA!!! rest at last! ^_^

thank you LORD!!!!!!!!

well... my title isn't supposed to be funny... i just really want to offer this blog to the Lord for my report card this quarter... i honestly felt like i wouldn't even be in the top 10 with my grades but God works in mysterious ways... that's really all I want to say... THANK YOU LORD for a removing the thorn in my heart! ^____^

"the hardest prince" - cno pa nga ba

w8.. tpos na ung download.. mmya ko na ikwekwento... muhaha
-----------------------------------------------------------------
haha... after one day, i decided to edit...
i was so tired last night from the LOONG trip from my baguio... so i just finished dling GA, watched it, and slept... anyway, i just came back from Baguio last night because when the CMLI convenvtion ended last wednesday, me and my family stayed there... anyway, that's what i really wanted to talk about (the CMLI thing)... haha... im going to narrate the really fun and weird experience i had in Baguio... it's probably the longest amount of time i was separated from my family... hmm, i just thought of that now... anyway... haha... so many laughs... and thankfully no tears.. haha, anyway, let me start...

Friday
because we were going to leave for baguio at 10, we were excused from going to school... yey! i woke up early to finish my packing which took me so long because i'm so OC with packing... anyway, my mom dropped me off at victory liner bus station in pasay and there i met with my or-ox team which composed michael m, joshua, allan, and sir libao. my "seatmate" in the bus was allan and since it was sooo effing hot and because daylight was shining on our faces, we couldn't sleep so we just talked about "stuff..." good thing we were able to sleep after the 1st stop because the bus became colder and thank god my mom allowed me to bring the DVD player... the trip was REALLY LONG. maybe it's because im not used to travelling during the day... haha... when it's at night (like last year), all i did was slept... oh god, you can really feel the "travelling" part of travelling (what?) when it's during the day... anyway, after 10 years, (this is an understatement, believe me) we arrived in Baguio at 6PM (we left at 11 BTW), and since we went earlier than the other delegates, we stayed at my house. we took an FX which was really uncomfortable because we were trying to fit (5 people and 5 abnormally large suitcases in one FX taxi - goodluck tires)... i fed everyone (haha - even I was DH by then) and we continued prepping (preparing) for the debate. and this was then the "greeness" of the whole trip started... and guess where it started? from our discussion about coal. joshua said "e.g. coal" and sir libao heard it wrong. haha, it was so funny. unless, you don't get it... anyway, since we were all so sleepy, we gave up at 12. we slept at 1. and since we found out that the cottages at teacher's camp wouldn't be available until 11 the next day, we invited the other people including joe, steph, nina, michael c, earl, and ms. regato to my stay at my house when they arrived at 5 am...

Saturday
at around 5 am, someone was trying to wake me up and i felt really pissed (not realizing by then of course that we needed to welcome the other delegates) because it felt like i just slept 10 mins ago... haha, anyway, after 10 mins of trying to stand up, i finally did, and we found the other delegates getting lost in the taxi on the street... anyway, i was really freezing by then because it was 5 am and unfortunately, it's really freaking cold at baguio around that time (i was really thankful i didn't go to school there)... i wanted to laugh at the "lost" delegates because i still wasn't over with them waking me up (haha, sorry na, im really "touchy" when it comes to sleep)... anyway, i forced (haha - joke lang) a smile, greeted them, tried to be a good "host", but i really didn't have the energy so i went back to sleep while they chatted downstairs... only me and ms. regato were asleep while they were talking downstairs. (i know, i know, im such a bad "host")... anyway i woke up and found them practicing for the quarter singing contest... anyway, since we needed a supplement for the hotdogs, sir libao and ms regato decided to go and register at teacher's camp and at the same time buy food for everyone at mcdo... yey! greeness continued at breakfast thanks to sir libao's bentang hirits (haha, can't wait to get sir as eco teacher in 4th year - trust me, it's gonna be soo freaking funny). there was this discussion about the little prince, and one thing led to the other, and we were suddenly talking about "the hardest prince..." haha, because of everyone's green contribution, "the hardest prince" became a contest with oral and pracitcal tests to determine the winner... hahaha... this "hardest prince" joke lasted until the end of the convention, and i'll tell you why as we proceed... haha, bsta... that was probably one of the greenest breakfasts ever (not to mention there were a lot of super jumbo hotdgos on that table!)... hahaha... moving on, after the breakfast and after everyone finished eating, taking a bath, and packing, we all left my house... there were no taxis so we had to walk to the gate of the village. (it was okay but it was freaking hot and sunny - it's hot in baguio during the morning - geez, weather strikes again...) and earl left his towel so we got pissed since the sun literally and figuratively had a big smile that morning... anyway, we caught a taxi and we went all the way to my house to the cottage we would be living in for 5 days... when i first saw it, my first reaction was BLAH. to be continued... haha

"si kokey nagcococcaine kaya ganun ung muka?" - hehe

grabe, wlang kwenta na naman oath ko from last post... 2 weeks bago ako magpopost ulet? haha... wla na tlga akong pag-asa. so hndi na ako magpropromise sa post na ito. haha, bka nxt year na ako ulet mka post... anyway, so a recap of yesterday's events muna...

hmm... the day started with a very funny morning prayer... don't get me wrong, the prayer wasn't funny - the pronunciation errors of the prayer leader was funny... haha... sorry na... Gad, hird, eeees... sorry na tlga... can't help laughing tlga... tska ung mga tao kasi sa paligid ko e... tawa din ng tawa... so natatawa na din ako... i mean, fine, i know we should respect prayer and everything... i blame the person who assigns prayer leaders... why assign such an uhmmmmmm... "inappropriate" leader? pero nxt tym d n tlga ako ttawa kahit gano pa ktawatwa ang pronunciation... I'LL TRY... haha... 2B kasi e! ang bilis mkaspot ng pronunciation/grammatic errors... haha, ang bilis ba tawanan.... nkkhawa.

social time - fun and informative as usual. one of the few subjects where i actually listen... haha... science time - super LOOOOONG rosary which ape up 30 mins of science... haha... some people fell asleep, some were studying, some weres till laughing..... haha... so much for respecting prayers. after that, i had a super hard make-up quiz... ADVICE FOR EVERYONE - never be absent... after what i've experienced from make-up tests (especially make-up PT) - it's not worth it even though you get to skip M and R... haha... PE was fun as usual... since we're done with the practical test, all we did was play all period... after that was a very unusual lunch... for the first time in 10 years, it was actually lunch BREAK and not lunch STUDY PERIOD or lunch PRACTICE TIME - thank god. and you know what 2B did in the gym while enjoying the break - we laughed at pronunciation/grammatic errors again... haha.. we're so bad... OH WELL... after that, we had a fun english period... after the uuubber long debate, we finally had the 2 VS 41 (it turned out that 2 people were the highest in the LT) game... haha... sir manaay was so nice.. he gave everyone plus, even the BEATABLES like me... haha. after that was math.. it turns out sir trinidad wasn't there so miss sanches was the sub... uhm, no comment. after that, ms. cabanella suddenly appeared and gave us the quiz... waaaaaaa... d pa ako nagaaral... so nagwala ako.... haha... anyway, nerds being nerds, we studied for 15 mins and we were given the quiz... it wasn't so bad considering i didn't study...

after that was the really UGGGGHHHHH RT practice... damn you SAVITRI! haha... because i didn't want to get mad and emo and weird, i just tried to get everyone to listen and follow by making jokes... i guess it's just my style of getting people to listen... it wouldn't help to shout at them... haha... especially since there are sooo many kontrabidas and smart asses... im not mad. i guess the challenge of being a leader in a pilot class is that some people think that they're too smart to follow. and if not, the remaining people just don't give a damn and complain. i'd love to see them become leaders too see how it would feel to be talking when nobody is listening, to be saying that there's a practice without anyone attending, to be teaching what you've been planning for so long but then everybody is complaining... like what i said, i'm not mad... i'm not even taking it personally. i don't have a grudge against anybody. what's done is done... after all, we did end up having a pretty good practice... thank you for cooperating... i hope we do well on monday! after sabayan, i should already know the challenge of trying to be the leader among leaders. im just saying what i want to say... that's why you have a blog after all... haha...

ANYWAY, after my first pour out session of bad feelings in this blog (haha - eeew naging emo ako), let me go on to the events of this day... well i woke up early to get my injection for my allergies in makati med... nothing special really happened... haha... after that, i went to my nihongo classes... haha, as usualy, funny moments when my older classmates and sensei were making green jokes... haha, it's so fun having older classmates... but then again, i still feel clueless... after missing almost six meetings, haha, well what do you expect?

too lazy to continue... shall continue... sana... someday... haha... syang, ang dami pang nangyari sa bday ni j9.

"is that related to science?" - haha, bsta

hahaha... haven't blogged for almost 2 months now... haha.. i've decided to blog this evening because i'm bored which is ironic considering the bajillion stuff i could do (some of them i really need to do). SO MUCH FOR MY OATH... lesson I learned from this: don't make promises you'll break... especially those you plan to breka easily.. like what i did... haha... what i'll be saying now is: I WILL TRY to blog as much as I can... haha.. with so much homework and other stuffffffffffffsss everyday, i found it really hard to blog... no worries, i'll REALLY DO MY BEST STARTING TODAY! like what i said in my first post, i do need to release... haha

so... a recap of what happened yesterday... hmm... during social, we practiced for the tableau in the theater. ANG INIT DUN AH. during science, we watched a really boring film about photosynthesis... haha..... during PE, we had a really hard practical test... nevertheless, we still got pretty good scores because of the +5 you get if you shoot the shuttlecock into the basket and because of our coach's unpexcted generosity... our grades in PE range from 94-97 (i got 96! yey! thank you shuttlecock for dropping in that basket! :D). we had early lunch because of the tableau practice (AGAIN). anyway, long story short. 2B did really well and won in every contest... if there was an over-all winner award, we would definitely get that. CONGRATS TO ALL WINNERS! after that was the concert... i was deb8ing with myself whether to go or not, but i decided to go anyway kasi nanghihinayang ako dun sa perang bnyad ko. it was for a good cause anyway...

it's for sir abodolies who has kidney failure... i really want him to get well because he was one of the best (as of now, maybe the best) english/reading/language teacher and head teacher i had... i mean, i really undersood what we was teaching (YES, he was one of the teachers who was actually teaching unlike UNFORTUNATELY some teachers -ahem, ahem-) and i really felt it (naks, haha).. F na F ako tuwing english time last year, reciting and participating most of the time... not only was he teaching, he was teaching well... and not only was he teaching well, he was a kind person with a good heart (yes, sa sobrang bait naging redundant pa o)... he really cares for each individual's welfare.. i could really see that he was not merely teaching for the sake of teaching. teachers like him (sadly) are a rare breed. and this is exactly why we need to support him. we should give his future students the oppurtunity to actually learn from his rare breed... haha... GET WELL SOON SIR!

haha.. moving on, well the concert was fine because many 2B people were there and there were lots of food.... but my allergies started to trigger (haha, this always happens when i'm tired and at the same time around many people) and it was FREAKING HOT so i went outside the gym with some 2B people.... before that, i already called my mom to come pick me up... when i stepped outside, it was like... uhm, coming out from a SAUNA. only much much better. so i went home... haha...

moving on to TODAY... haha... woke up early for our debate competition in this school at QC which i forgot. anyway, it was us (CSA Makati) versus CSA Binan... haha.. it was a fight between sister schools... plus they were all girls and we were all boys so it was girls VS boys. and it's a really crucial round because it would determine if we get to go to the final round which would be held in Bagiuo. more importantly (haha), it would determine if we get go to the CMLI convention in Baguio for free or not (that's almost 6000 pesos BTW) because the final rounds is included in the seminar so if we get in, we save 6k pesos... haha... anyway we were debating about the cheaper medicines bill and whether or not it should be passsed... it was a really funny round because our opponent didn't seem to have that much facts adn they were really mataray... the fun started with the interpolations (it's the part of the deb8 when you ask the opponent questions which they need to answer)... i don't know if it will appear funny even if you weren't there... haha... i'll tell the story anyway. we were arguing about predatory pricing (it is when companies try to outdo each other by lowering the prices of their products - kind of like vending in Ragnarok - sorry, random though (haha - missing ragnarok) . for the 2B people, it's similar to the story of ms. cabanella about the McNeneng's thingy wherein they try to outdid each other by lowering the price of the coke (coke ba un?) to the point where they no longer had profit).. bsta un... their side wants to implement the bill, our side disagrees. bsta, long story short, when we asked them what predatory pricing was, the girl who answered said "is that related to science?" and i was like ugh... iwas TOTALLY laughing at my seat.... sorry! no OFFENCEMENT but even if you didn't know what that term is, you'd never consider it being related to science.. HAHA.. SORRY NA....... boring na ba? i'm not sure if talking about debate in blogs is interesting.. ill just find out from you.... because if i were to ommit to this blog, i would be talking about our debates once in a while because THEY'RE REALLY FUNNY AND EDUCATIONAL (yes... haha) at the same time. anyway, long story short again, we won and we get to go for free to Bagiuo on the sembreak. WEEE.. looking forward to CMLI again. :D

after meeting our opponent, allan transported us back to makati (i got dropped off at G4 - thanks for the transpo!) where i met my mom.. my mom was in makati shangri-la because of this St. Lukes alumni thing (she studied there when she was young - haha ilang years ago kaya un?) so I went there and I got free food! yey! haha. i observed her and her friends in college talking and bonding... haha, i hope that when i'm that old, i still get to see my friends in HS and college... though they haven't seen each other for a long time, it's like they never separated... old people (ang sama! haha) bonding isn't very different from the bonding of our generation.. they also laugh a lot... and they're also quite green (haha, believe it or not - i was listening intently while trying hard not to laugh with them)... anyway, i can't believe i enjoyed listening to them talking. LUCKILY, (hahaha), my ninang was there and she gave me crispy doolllaarrsss!$$$$ (WOHOO!!!)... she told me madami na daw siyang utang skin.. haha.. sbagay tgal ko na siyang hndi nkkita noh... loving rich ninangs... yes, haha... anyway, i got home, rested, watched the second episode of GA which i just downloaded (loving the 4th season!), and went to parish involvement... i just remembered that i missed nihongo again today (i have missed 6 meetings already - haaay, so much for my top spot T_T... haha, cause of absences: sabayan, debate and other activities for school... i shouldn't have believed i was capable of doing everthing at once.... haaaaaaay. NOW I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK.. todo KARIR NA ITO!!!)... ANYWAY, i shall be back to blog again soon.. i hope... wow, this post is really long.... if you reached this part, thanks for reading my blog again.....

"Pocari Sweat???!" - matabang tao sa commercial

yey! i'm blogging again! staying loyal to my oath... weee... haha!

so what days did i miss?

thursday - no classes - nothing much happened at home... haha

friday - haha!! very fun day! went out with 2B people and watched Rush Hour 3! but before that...

morning - nothing much happened - it was fr. rodriguez' bday! so we had no classes in the morning (wahaha... commentary & 2 quizzes postponed). it was obvious that the preperations for fr. rector's bday wasn't as much as fr. mazana's... but, o well, we did our best. and then, sabayan practice with 2B people at the 1A place.. haha.. it was kind of disappointing that only almost half of the class came because nothing much happened. and we really need something to happen because we want to prove to someone that we can do good even without him/her (haha) belittling (tama ba?) our capabilities. and of course, to achieve the main goal - to get that trophy for the champions.. so 2B, let's work hard for this. haha... after the sabayan practice, i was put in a dilemma because i still didn't know if i would be going to go with the 2B people.. i was glad i decided to go.. haha... some people catched a ride with me to glorietta, and we met the others at food choices... i think the people present were romano, lisette, jo, jr, jonas, j9, gela, marc, guia, lance, earl and allan (L-haha)... i bought taro quickly (mmm...), tuna plato wrap (DIET?) , and jumbo BBQ fries in potato corner (grabe, haven't eaten fries in a long time - no more diet, haha)... we went to timezone for a bit, then off to taters to buy popcorn and to the movie itself - rush hour 3... HAHA....

so we were a little early for the movie, and a lot of commercials started to show, and this was where the fun began... there was this REALLY weird, senseless, but totally FUNNY one about water... i'm not sure if it was trying to sell itself because its name was POCARI SWEAT..... what?!? it's like...... ten thousands spoons and all you need is a knife - haha... out of the thousands of names you could give a water, why the hell name it with the words POCARI (ang laswa pakinggan, haha) and SWEAT (the last thing you'd want to think of when drinking water) haha... so i researched about it a bit, and this is what i found:

The reference to the bodily fluid resulting from perspiration in the name of the beverage tends to have a certain offputting or humorous connotation for native English speakers . However, the name was chosen by the manufacturers originally for the purpose of marketing the product as a sports drink in Japan, where people generally do not mentally translate names appearing in English and are therefore not bothered by the connotation. It was largely derived from the notion of what it is intended to supply to the drinker: all of the nutrients and electrolytes lost when sweating. (The first part of the name, Pocari, means "like a cloud floating in the sky" or "a situation in which a cloud is floating in the sky" in Japanese, and has a connotation of lightness, buoyancy, and ease. "Sweat" was apparently intended to suggest diligence and its fruits - the idea intending to connote to the user that Pocari Sweat works to make one feel fresh and relaxed. However, some Japanese apparently drop "Sweat" from the name in common usage.)

haha, so that's why! the Japanese couldn't understand the name, so nobody finds it funny there!... still, the commercial itself was really funny! haha...

moving on to the movie... IT WAS SO FUNNY! the funny lines kept on coming! haha i was expeting a movie with many "nakabagdamdaming" action scenes, so i wasn't that thrilled because i don't like action movies a lot... but the 1st scene proved me wrong.. COMEDY movies are my love (i didn't know rush hour 3 was supposed to be comedy - never watched the 1st 2 but planning to now)... and the movie was more comedy than it was action... haha... favorite scenes : French nun - haha, she was so damn funny! she looks a hell lot like Professor McGonagall a.k.a. Maggie Smith (and i thought she was until i read Jo's blog, haha); The one where the chinese girl was first shown - she looks a hell lot like Ka-eun, haha!; GENEVIEVE (haha kahit malaswa); fight scenes (the one in the hospital and in eiffel tower)... and all other scenes i can't remember! haha... it was really really HILARIOUS!

haay.. since im really tired, i'll cut this post. long story short - i went home after DQ.. and slept... haha.. BOW

"Ang bobo ng DepEd" - isang nanay sa radyo

Weee! First time to blog! I wanted to try it because honestly, I'm bored, and I'm beggining to worry that my emotions would just burst (haha, as if) if I don't create an "outlet" for it, as mentioned in the commentary yesterday... plus, as they said, it would help improve my writing skills and vocabulary in english... haha, i'll try my best not to commit any grammatical errors! As of now, I'm thinking that the titles of my *hopefully* upcoming blogs would be the funniest thing a person would say (quote) the day I would be blogging. I named the blog not just a letter because my name is Kei, pronounced as K... and often, i have the shortest and simplest name in the crowd... it is of japanese origin BTW, and so it is not a girl's name (this has been questioned many times) :( :D... and well, i just wanted to emphasize that my character and my life isn't composed of just a single letter despite my name... it's full of twists, turns, and variations... (may sense ba? labo noh?)... it was the first thing that came to my mind... haha, anyway, before I narrate what happened today (wee, excited for my first blog), I would like to commit myself to this blog and not leave it unupdated... I'm making an oath ahem, ahem... "I solemnly swear to update this blog even though heaps of homeworks and other work are showering upon me." Hopefully, I will really commit to this... haha...

I'm going to start with my first blog ever (Weee!) with a recap of this week:

Monday - Uhm, it was the birthday of Ms. G. and 2B prepared for it... unfortunately, though i don't understand why, it was assessed as "may kulang pa", and ironically, the one who compalined about it wasn't the celebrator (yes, hindi celebrant nilgay ko!) :D herself... oh well, i don't know how much more we could have prepared anyway... moving on, English was first, we had impromptu... I don't know why, but speech activities make me SOO nervous ever since. I was shaking more this time because my last speech activity last year was uhm... let's just say that's the lowest Speech grade i ever received... haha... I was expecting that I would be called. And so, I was called... I don't remember the exact question, but it was something about humility thingy... anyway, it wasn't a disaster, but i could've done a lot better if i wasn't shaking with fear. After that, Music... Well, SIIGE's always the same - i go to the Music SIIGE room in the gym together with the other 2B SIIGE people, then strain my back for 1 whole hour.. as usual, i feel like i haven't learned anything... Then, CLE... BnB (haha) has not failed to bore me to death yet... Sorry Lord, but I wish you'd given us a less 2nd B and more 1st B teacher that would actually have the power motivate us to learn about you. Peace po tayo :D. and then science.. as usual, competition for recitation points... haha... i never knew that recitation could actually turn us against each other... haha... every time someone would give a wrong answer, someone would laugh and say "ngeeeh".. haha, it's fun anyway! lunch - discovered new food at last! tuna turnover sold at the junk food area.... I NEEDED TO FIND NEW FOOD! ANOTHER SUPERJUMBO HOTDOG ON BUN OR HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE WILL KILL ME! then as usual, chatted with the 2B people hanging out on the stairs... then, filipino which was... uhm... blah... then, math, as usual, I was loud and I couldn't understand the lesson and so i depended on my seatmates to help me... haha... Club - nothing much happened... WHAAT? so much for recap! actually, i just wanted to try to narrate what happends on a normal school day...

ANYWAY, let me fast forward to this day... this day was.. blah.. when i woke up in the morning, i was so frustrated because i slept having studied only 1 page of the computer ASss for the PT and it was raining HARD... i don't blame myself though, 2 out of the 3 AS wasn't explained at all and I couldn't understand anything written on those pages.. haha, cramming before eating breakfast as usual, trying to absorb what was written in those database ASss hoping that classes would be suspended... i was watching umagang kay ganda as usual while eating breakfast, and i suddenly felt "woken up" (labo) because they were saying "no classes" but then got really disappointed as the sentence continued.... "sa Malabon"... sobs... The rain poured in torrents as we left for school while I was still hoping that classes would be suspended.... suddenly, no classes in NCR was announced by someone from DepEd in the radio... i felt so relieved, happy, and mad at the same time.... they wasted the gas of thousands of people in NCR... they could have announced it a little earlier because it was pretty obvious that the rain was hard and that parts of NCR was being flooded. And then, I listened to the radio as parents were texting their frustrations... someone txted, "DepED, and bobo niyo, Department of EDUCATION p nmn ang pangalan ng departamento niyo".. haha, so funny... isn't it ironic? anyway, slept until 10 when i reached home, and this day didn't turn out to be the rest day i expected it to be... I finished the freakin' AVP in Social, made my science AVP, and wrote an article for insights... at around 6:40, people were posting in YM that there were no classes. Desperate for proof, I turned on the TV and listened to the announcement that there is indeed no classes tomorrow. I don't know what to feel... happy because a day to rest ahead of me, or frustrated, having worked my butt off over those stupid AVPs... anyway, i decided to feel happy... (WHAT?)... haha, i decided this because i remembered that i had midterms in nihongo on sat, and no classes tomorrow meant time for me to study... must maintain my top 1 spot in class! 15% discount on tuition is counting on it! (haha, nerd na nerd e)... but actually, nihongo classes are so different from the average academic classes... it's just that i do enjoy studying for nihongo, as opposed to math and computer anyway.... :D

hoping for a peaceful day tomorrow.... wohoo! no classes 2day, no classes tomorrow, half day on friday... life is GOOD! :D
