"dba may ulo iyon?" - wahahaha

this situtation where i am in right now a.k.a. nothing-to-do-mode is frightening. the past three months have been incredibly stressful, so i don't know why the hell i have nothing to do today.

i'm thinking that it's all an evil plot. that the teachers are laughing at us behind our backs because when these idle days are over, they will metamorphosize once again into the evil spawns of the devil. they will once again drown us with soooo many homeworks that we would be grasping for air. they will once again force feed us with sooo many information that we would be fraught not to vomit all those that could no longer be digested. okay. so the images i'm creating are pretty disgusting. but, it's the tragic truth. T_T

but what the hell. why not make the most out of this carefree days, right? and pray that next week won't be too bad. O.O

haha, so on a more positive note, here's an 'icebreaker' before i blog about the really fun (but short) day i had yesterday. it's called naughty nature. hahaha. (now, i deserve that adult content warning. haha. that's a joke btw. kinabahan kayo noh? hahaha.)

Naughty Nature 1

Naughty Nature 2


Naughty Nature 3

Naughty Nature 4

HAHAHA. since i'm too innocent, i can't seem to decipher that these images are. haha. Mother Nature, you have a naughty side pala ah... tsktsk... hahaha. ingatz. baka magkaroon ng baby earth. O.o

SO ANYWAY, i used this as an introduction because it's related to what happened yesterday. hahaha. labo. the agenda yesterday was to find bamboos for sabayan. someone informed us beforehand that we could buy one in maple st., greendwoods village, pasig. we started out only with this info.

the night prior to this was CRAZY. it was the most bangag confe ever. haha. i was on a sugar high because my mom who just came from hong kong brought home some cherries (as in the genuine one. not the bottled ones they sell here in the philippines which taste like crap). cherries are my WEAKNESS. i first tasted the genuine kind last summer at the states. and i instantly got addicted to it. they're soooo good. they're nothing like the fake crap they put on cakes. so when my mom told me she had cherries, i dived for it in her maleta and ate to my heart's desire on our way home from the airport. omg. saying that i ate a million cherries that night would be an understatement. hahaha. so naturally, when we had the confe when i arrived home, i was on an intensified sugar high. i was just plain crazy. hahahaha. you should never see me 'live' when i'm on sugar high. it will stain my family's reputation forevermore. hahaha.

our meeting place was krispy kreme (not treats this time for some reason). when i arrived, there were already four people (lisette, romano, jones, and earl). they were talking about the closing of the olympics which i unfortunately missed. they were also talking about how manila is planning to host the olympics on 2024 or something. haha... i doubt it's possible though.

then at some point during the 'breakfast meeting' (i dare not be more specific), i found something extremely.... uhm. hahahaha. there are no words to describe it (well, actually there are but i dare not put down those words). lisette "found" it first, and we instantly had a connection because she told me about it before. hahaha. the two of us burst out laughing while the others stared blankly at us. then gela (the next victim) "found" it also. and she joined us in our laughing. haha. one by one, people started to get it (especially when we gave such obvious clues). hahahaha. i haven't laughed that hard for a long time. ohmaygad. for clarification's sake, i was not making eye contact! kahit may ulo pa siya. HAHAHA. if you don't get it, trust me, you're lucky. pero kung gus2 mo tlga magets, use context clues. haha. ay actually, dba cnabi ko na related ung ano... basta. hahahahahahaha. lalala.

hay. the kabaliwan and kabastusan didn't end there. we were really crazy in allan's van. haha. grabe talaga ung greenwoods na un. magkano kayang gas ang nasayang namin dun? we were going round and round for a really long time without going anywhere. we couldn't find that damn
MAPOL street. hahaha. after ten years of laughing, we finally found it but we couldn't find the "store" selling bamboo. after ten more years, we finally found it. haha. i never knew bamboo could be so cheap. all that bamboo for only 120 pesos is such a bargain. i guess. haha. thank god for allan's heaven-sent driver. haha.

so after that, we went to high street again to 'plan'. we ate at oliver's. almond cajun chicken (or something like that) sandwich was yummy. KU-KUM-BER daw? hahaha. ang sama tlga.

ayun, sorry nirush ko na lang ung kwento. sayang, marami pa akong hindi na kwento na funny moments. haha. 10:26 na kasi e. may practice pa bukas. hahaha. tae.

*P.S. there's something wrong with the spacing again. grr.

a bizarre post

a proverb that i read (naks) in a book which i unearthed underneath the mess that is my desk just this morning got me thinking. people that gossip to you gossip about you. as much as i want to think that this particular statement is an exception to the so called "wise sayings", a part of me already knows that it's indeed a scientific fact - one that could not be less factual than the setting of the sun.

a week ago, a close friend and i had a really meaningful conversation of how bad the situation of backstabbing is in our class. those who never heard of the heinous crime of stabbing someone behind the back are now getting accustomed to it. those who were once apprentices are now masters. those who were born masters are continuously recuiting apprentices. i don't want it to sound like some illegal underground organization that sells drugs but it's exactly what this is becoming. like drugs, backstabbing could be addicting. let's face it, laughing at people behind their backs is fun. it's euphoric. it could be compared to the feeling of being high. once you're drawn to it, it's hard to break free. the bad part is everyone's already an addict. i'm a backstabber. he's a backstabber. you're a backstabber. she's a backstabber. we're all backstabbers. what's worse than that is that we backstab each other. we're a community of backstabbers backstabbing each other.

of course, one can easily say backstabbing is normal. it's a part of life. yes, this may be true. but not if you backstab every time you come together as a group. not when you backstab every single day. not when you're so addicted to it that you can't stop. not when you do it everytime you can't do anything else.

i admit that i'm a backstabber. probably a pretty bad one. what prompted me to write this wasn't anger. i didn't write this just now because someone told me that i was being backstabbed. i wrote this because i won't wait when that time comes. i know a lot of pretty bad backstabbers who are also being backstabbed. i know a lot of people who think that some people are their friends. but the truth is that these "friends" are the ones backstabbing them. believe it or not, i know some people who have been friends for years who are backstabbing each other. that's pretty sad right?

the only way to stop this is [of course] to stop the vicious cycle of backstabbing. if you backstab, there's a good chance people are backstabbing you. i know that the people in our class have good hearts. these people are helpful, generous, honest, funny, and generally kind. the only real problem is the backstabbing.

until know, i don't know that made me write this. i just feel like it for some reason. haay. haha. i know i'm not the kind of person who would publish this kind of post. i usually post jokes, funny events, humorous moments.... i'm usually the person who's always optimistic and can find time to laugh even at the most stressful moments. and that's probably why i wrote this. i don't want all our good times as a class go to waste because of the horrible backstabbing.

just my two cents. :D

besides, i doubt anyone still checks on my blog. it's been extict for 2 months. haha. it'll probably be a long time before anyone gets to read this. if you do, don't tell anyone i posted such a weird post. please? haha. i hope you take part in doing something about the backstabbing though. ^_~

Hate/Love

haha. to save precious time, i won't go through the" i didn't blog for 10 years" drama again. so i'll just get straight to the point. :P

for the past 1 and a half months, i have taken a sneak peek on the supposedly hardest school year of my high school life. and so far, i can't help but say that rumors are definitely true. it's only the first month and i'm already freaking tired. i don't know why, but everytime i come home from school, i just feel a great urge to not give a crap about the quizzes, presentations, extra-curricular duties and the other crappy things i need to do and lie down. but of course, all downs have their ups. i have so far been enjoying this year the most. some of the crappy things actually turn out to be enjoyable in the end. i would have given up long ago if not for the laugh-out-loud moments i share with the people around me.

Hate/Love

Ang Aking Pagkadapa Sa Mga Nagkakaisang Estado Ng Amerika (My Trip To The USA) ngeeeeeer. booo, ang corny! mamatay ka na kei! haha.

yup! this is officially (naks) going to be my post regarding my US trip. i'm probably going to work on it for days. so if you're reading it now, it's probably unfinished (like some of my posts. ehem, ehem) or i still have something to add. pero swear, i'm going to finish this one no matter what happens. hehe. sana. O_O

okay, so i stayed in the US for exactly 34 days. possibly one of the best and craziest months of my life. muhahaha. so before anything else, let me give some of the general things i've noticed first.

- there are lots of Filipinos here. as in a lot everywhere i go, there's like someone speaking Filipino.

- US doesn't seem like much of a different country. i mean as compared to when we went to HongKong/China, it was like a totally different world. i felt like an outcast lost in tall buildings and people who don't understand me (haha. the Chinese freaked me out a little bit. there were people who would suddenlly croak and spit out phlegm. ugh) and yeah, another reason is that i'm practically surrounded by Filipinos. plus, everyone speaks English (which means everyone can understand me) so i feel like it itsn't such a different world.

- the US is so over-rated. really. i mean it's nice and all, but it's not that far from what I see in the Philippines. actually, our country (referring particularly to Metro Manila) doesn't look half bad. and you know the things you see in postcards? the real things don't match with those pictures. like the statue of liberty? it's SO SMALL it looks nothing like the statue of liberty i see in postcards and movie posters. haha. i thought it was a fake at first. the white house was SO TINY as well. Alabang houses seem bigger. haha. do they like magically enchance those pictures? or is it only me? New York (although unbelievably awesome with regards to tall buildings and all that) has a lot of garbage, homeless people, and some places smell like Payatas, haha. so yeah. all i'm saying is that i think that US being thought of as a haven of some sort is not only wrong, it's unfair.


- the food here is OMG. everything's served in bigger portions. the burgers are huge! the cups for soda (which is bottomless in all fast food stores) are crazy gigantic - they look like popcorn boxes! every food is out of this world. and some could be really fattening. it's really expensive, however. McDonald's Fish Fillet Meal is like $6 = 240 pesos. almost half of the money given to me for the trip went to food. but I love it. i can't stop eating. some of my favorites are subway (we have it at the philippines but it tastes so much better here), panda express (a chinese fast food store - the orange chicken is to die for), coldstone creamery (deadly but heavenly ice cream), jamba juice (yummy shakes), buffets (omg. buffets here can kill you. but it's really cheap and really good), ice cream sandwiches, turkey legs, and many, many more. when it comes to fine dining, my favorite is olive garden (a really good italian restaurant which serves bottomless soup) and red lobster (i would walk back here for another lobster pizza), yum, yum. plus, what's really good here - which i hope our country will implement soon - is that there are nutrition facts in almost all food stores. so i can like pick healthier options - grilled over fried, big mac over whopper. haha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

yey. so i've decided to arrange the trip chronologically and by place at the same time. for now, i'm gonna be uploading the pics first and insert the details whe i'm done. for my other kwentos without matching pics, i'll just insert it in keeping with the chronological arrangement. yuck. kinarir? hahaha. prepare to see my face a lot. not recommended for people prone to heart attack. don't tell me i didn't warn you. hahaha.

May 2 - May 9 - Orlando, Florida

- me @ SeaWorld with the Penguins (penguins look exactly like i'd imagined them to be. and they are pretty cute when they walk around. kaso medyo mabaho. haha. O_O)

- me and my siblings @ Kraken in SeaWorld (new pic! haha. i just discovered it! so anyway, this was one of the overpriced pics they sell after each ride. they have this in almost all amusement parks. haha. in every ride, there's a hidden cam. by the end of the ride, they have a booth where they sell the pics taken by the hidden cam. haha. so we laugh at our faces after every ride. but we decided to buy this one because it's sooooo freakin' funny. haha. the Kraken is like the best roller coaster not in Six Flags. oh if you haven't read this post before, my kwento about Six Flags is somewhere below. my kuya looks REALLY scared and constipated. haha. since that was our 6th time to ride it - there were no lines that day - nakapagpose ung ate ko kasi kabisado niya na kung san ung hidden cam. haha. but don't think it wasn't scary as hell because she was able to pose. haha. the ride is SOOOOOOOO scary at first, but gets fun and more fun as you ride it more. haha. oh the pic of the ride i took is below our pic.)

- me and my silbings @ Spaceship Earth in Disneyworld's Epcot Center (the weird thing behind us is called Spaceship Earth. it's really cool! it's a dark ride which brings you through a time-machineish place. it shows like the progression of man through time.!)

May 10 - May 28 - New Jersey

- my family @ Six Flags Great Adventure (behind us is the tallest and fastest (and craziest in my opinion) roller coaster in the world called the Kingda Ka which I rode against my will. they had to pull me to my seat. haha. not really.)

ok fine, i know i said that i'd insert the details later but i can't wait to give details about this one. hahaha. before we left for the states, we already knew the places we were visiting. my siblings are like wild rides fanatics so they requested for us to go to six flags. six flags is a series of amusement parks popular for its wild rides. my tita told us that there was a six flags close to their house in new jersey. the first thing i did was that i searched wikipedia for the six flags in new jersey and found out that luckily (or unluckily), it houses the tallest and fastest coaster in the world. i also saw the other coasters that exists there through the skyline pic i found.


so anyway, since i'm not a big fan of wild rides (and this is an understatement) , it pretty much scared the hell out of me. i was battling with my self for days (yes. ang drama. mmk ba i2?) whether or not i'd dare ride these coasters. haha. so when we were here already, my tita asked how many tickets. i just closed my eyes, said i'd come, and finally decided that what better way to get rid of my fear (well not really fear. more of general dislike) of wild rides than to ride the wildest of wild rides.

so when the much-awaited day arrived, i wasn't nervous at first, but when we finally arrived and saw the coasters face to face, even my siblings who like what i said are like wild rides addicts were scared (ok fine, i'm only assuming this but i could tell from their facial epression and comments). haha. oh, our cousins were with us too but they've been there before. the Kindga Ka was REALLY tall. its pictures (even from other sources besides mine) can't even begin to tell how tall it really is. it's 450 ft. but here's a better picture to illustrate it tallness. it was taken at the parking lot.

and it's really funny. haha. because what happens is once you reach the top, it immediately goes down like a hill so that it could be really steep. parang bang nangasar lang. haha. we decided to ride it first. haha. baliw tlga sila. nagwawala na nga ako e. but it was a good decision. we were all really nervous while waiting in line. our cousins told us that the line usually takes like 2 hours but since it's not summer break here yet, there was barely any line. thank goodness. 2 hours of anxiety is pain. i've learned over and over again that the anticipation is a lot worse than the real thing. and it was damn cold. haha.

when we finally got into the coaster, i was like praying and begging for it to end. haha. you know the feeling of just wanting to die instead of going through something like while waiting to be called for extemporaneouss speaking or something? haha. so after 10 years of anxiety, the ride finally started. i was like screaming like hell at this point and my sister who was sitting beside was shouting p*tang ina really loud. haha. it's good no one could understand us. it was REALLY fast! it brings you to the top of the hill (450 ft. up) in like 5 seconds. the view from the top while going down was out of this world. hahaha. and then it finally ended. haha. my comment is that you barely feel a thing. it's really fast so when it goes down, your stomach doesn't follow anymore. and so after the best (and worst) 30 seconds of my life, it was finally over. haha. here are videos from youtube which will like give you an idea of the experience. but of course, the real thing's a million times better (and worse). http://youtube.com/watch?v=HN8nv4tVFuA and http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q2cdqDMcUW0

think you can manage? i'd love to see you try. muhahaha. :D

so after that, the other coasters were like peanuts. hahaha. although they were deadly-crazy too. we were pretty much able to ride everything since there were no lines. my second favorite after kingda ka is nitro. it's also very funny. what it does is go up then go down then up again. haha. nangaasar din parang kingda ka. the first drop is very high (200++ ft). i know kingda ka's 450 ft but this time, you can feel your stomach drop as the coaster goes down because it's not as fast as kingda ka. but it also used to be the tallest and fastest coaster. here's a pic from wiki. haha. i also loved superman. it's a suspended coaster so it kinda feels like you're flying.

the best thing about riding the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world is that i could pretty much ride anything i want in the world now. i really enjoyed the remaining rides. i'm so glad we got Kingda Ka over with first. if we didn't, i wouldn't have enjoyed the rides we would have ridden before it because the anxiety is still there. i know it sounds cliche and all, but conquering my fear feels great. now i just have to grab a cockroach or talk to a ghost. hahahaha. boooo. yey. so that ends a really long description of the day i spent at six flags. it's probably my favorite out of the whole trip. haha. obvious ba? tignan mo o kay haba nitong kwento tungkol dito. haha.

May 12 - Washington, D.C. (oh, we were "staying" at my Tita's House in New Jersey until May 28 but we went to different places)

- me and my family @ The White House (it's tiny isn't it? it was damn cold and was raining at the same time. the temp was 40 degrees fahrenheit, which is about 5 degrees celcuis. gad, i almost died. it's the coldest i've been in my life. i kinda felt bad that i saw the white house first before the malacanang palace. haha. aww, since when have i been nationalistic? haha.)

- my family w/ Abrahan Lincoln @ Lincoln Memorial (haha. buti pa si Lincoln ang sarap ng upo. i was sooo tired here. we have been walking around in the cold and rain for almost 3 hours already. geez. no wonder i haven't gained that much after all those food trips. we walk around A LOT every single day. haha.)

May 13-14 - New York (haha. we drove to NY too.)

- me @ the Statue of Liberty (haha. i swear. pandak siya. and she looks kinda old, figuratively. kailangan na niyang magpa-Vicky Belo. haha. pero maganda pa rin syempre. it's like seeing for real something you've been seeing not for real you're whole life. labo ba?)

- me and my family @ the Rockefeller Center (oh yah! kwento muna. when we - my family and my 2 cousins - were here, some guy from Good Morning America invited us to be part of the audience. but that was for the following day, and we were scheduled to go to Niagara falls. aww, too bad. we look "good" daw. yuck. watever. want some bola bola? haha.)

- my family and my cousins @ Times Square (the 2 people on the far right are my 2 cousins, Ate Beryll and Kuya Brian. they both grew up in the States so they can't really speak Tagalog. haha. kaya nga for almost 3 weeks English ang gamit ko e. haha. nosebleed again. they're both in college. Ate Beryll is taking up Excercise and Nutrition Science or something like that. kaya ang dami niyang trivia about excercise and nutrition. duh. haha. aliw nga e. Kuya Brian is taking up Biomedical Engineering. grabe noh? hardcore ung course. biomedical engineers are the ones who create pacemakers and stuff you put inside the body. astig! pwede kang Dr. / Engr. kaso wla atang course na ganun s10. he's really smart. sabi ng mga ate ko pareho daw kami ng aura. tapos kwinento niya sakin na akala nung friend niya nung nakita ako na ako siya. lol. haha. don't really see the resemblance though.)

---------------------------------------------------------

yey! so for today, let's take a break from the sightseeing and theme park stuff and move on to my next best favorite part of the trip. what else? SHOPPING. muhaha.

there's no other way to say it, i go CRAAAZY everytime we go shopping. because everything's so damn CHEAP. especially if you know where to buy cheap stuff. shirts, jackets. shoes, and shorts that i wouldn't normally buy here because of their over-the-roof prices are affordable there. i never buy anything not affordable. and not affordable for me are like 1000-peso shirts/shorts or 2000-peso jackets. bleh. not one of my clothes ever reach those prices. unless they're free or given as a present. haha.

so what do i mean by cheap clothes in the US? for example, Billabong jackets here are ridicioulously expensive. they range from 2-3000 pesos right? but i caught a sale at a Billabong store, and they were selling jackets for only $ 20 = 800 pesos. muhahaha. fine, so i got a little crazy and bought 5, but you know how crazy i am about jackets. if you think about it, the cost of those jackets is like the price of only 1 1/2 jackets here of the same brand. then i bought like 4 more from different stores. not one jacket's more expensive than $ 30 = 1200 pesos.

my favorite purchase was this really nice Gryffindor jacket (oh BTW it has something to do with Harry Potter if you're not a fan). they were selling it for only $10 = 400 pesos because it was on clearance. gush. i went mad and like grabbed it and ran to the cashier. hahaha. it's the one in the upper left @ the picture below. haha. i got really bored earlier and started taking pictures of the things i bought. haha. the 5 Billabong jackets are easy to spot. haha. oh, and if you're observant, you'd see me wearing these at the photos in the place i've been. haha. that's because i forgot to bring jackets. hahaha. the other one's not in the picture cause it's in the laundry. haha.

what else are cheap? SHIRTS! okay, i got a little crazy and bought a lot. but i swear, almost all of these shirts are only $10 = 400 pesos each. haha. the Volcom, Quiksilver, Billabong shirts which are normally 1000 pesos here (so i never buy them. haha) are of that price. very few exceeded $10. muhahaha. lalala.

oh and gush. the cheapest of them all... CHUCKS! they're only $15 = 600 pesos. what the hell right? so all of these shoes = only $75 = 3000 pesos. that's like only one really nice chucks here. oh. but, like the jackets and shirts, they're really cheap only if you know where to look. hahahaha. i'll teach you when you go to the States.

see? i told you i never buy anything not affordable. which the only reason why i bought so much was because they were really very affordable. and it would be years before i return again. haha. these stuff come with a price though (duh. haha.). my 5 years worth of savings from christmas and birthday cash presents = GONE. my pocket money given by my dad and tito = GONE. plus, i'm like forbidden to buy clothes for a very long period of time. haha. sob, sob.

i'll talk about the prices of gadgets next time. hahaha. gadgets here are sooooooooooo CHEAP i wanna cry. haha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

continuation of New York

- me @ M&M's World in Times Square and the mighty M&M's wall (haha. the wall is huge. it's covers 2 floors and all the tubes are filled with M&M's chocolate. i tasted very exotic M&M's there. my favorite was the mint one. haha. too bad i wasn't able to bring some home. hahaha.)

- me @ the top of Empire State Building (yuck. emo pic b? actually, candid iyan. haha. d bagay sakin emo noh. kung naging emo ako guguho na ang mundo. haha.)

May 15-16 - Niagara Falls

- me @ Niagara falls (Niagara falls is my supeeeeeer favorite out of all the sightseeing spots. it was - no other word for it - breathtaking. i've never seen anything like it. it's so totally awesome! it's a million times better than the statue of liberty and white house. haha. tlgang dinidiin ko un e. we were all staring at it with awe for ages. sbay bukas ng bunganga pa. nyahaha. ingats, bka mapasukan ng langaw.)

- my family and my cousins still @ Niagara falls now overlooking the Rainbow Bridge and Toronto, Canada (what's amusing is that you could see Canada on the other side of the falls. the only thing separating us from Toronto is the Rainbow Bridge. the buildings and the ferris wheel you see is already part of Toronto. haha, but we couldn't pass through because we had no visas.)

- me, my sister, and my cousin before boarding Maid of the Mist (the boat that we rode was called Maid of the Mist. it brought us to the foot of the falls itself. it was like heaven there. haha. puro mist. haaaaaaaay. grabe. i LOVE niagara falls. it's my next best favorite after six flags. haha. nothing can beat six flags. six flags is the best place in the world! haha.)

May 18 - May 21 - Atlantic City, NJ

- me @ the scandalous shower in our hotel room. (haha. in Atlantic City, we stayed at a suite room in showboat for free because my mom has this friend who's like a high roller at the casino so she gets free rooms. anyway, the room was huge and soo nice! haha. BUT, it had this see-through, transluscent, and as my cousin would call it, scandalous shower. apparently, the room was a honeymoon suite. HAHA. it's sooo funny. you could see from the outside the shape of the body of the person who was taking a shower. hihihi. naku. bagay ito sa mga mamboboso diyan. haha. to solve that problem because everyone absolutely refuses to shower, we covered the outside part with chairs and pillows and stuff. haha.)

memorial service

you are cordially invited to kei's memorial service which will be held tomorrow afternoon at pasig river. he died because of blog failure. *weep, weep, weep*

haha. okay, so that wasn't funny. everyone must think i'm dead. haha... 2 months of no posts? it's my new record. haha. but... i promise. my post about my us trip coming soon. and to make up for last time, kakaririn ko tlga. haha. i'll win an award for the best post you'll ever read. haha. lol. hay salamat. nagparamdam na din ang multo. O_O

Year-End Report

yes... haha... today was the last day of classes. how to desribe it? it was... ordinary. like it was just another day. and i think this is what made it perfect. except for the drama of course.

i'd like to share some of the things i will miss and the most memorable moments at the top of my head. haha. i divided them into categories. haha.

[note 1: forgive me for this really long post. i started this 2 weeks ago. i was only able to complete it today, March 27, out of boredom.]

[note 2: okay joke lang. d ko ntapos. haha. wla pang kalahati. it's april 8 already. and since i want to start other posts, i really need to finish this one... so i swear. tpusin ko na.]

GENESIS (FIRSTS)

• 1st day of classes - can't remember much, but i do remember that it was freaking cold and i was sick the day before so i felt awful. haha. got my 1st reprimand of the year for wearing the hood of the jacket. haha... malay ko bang bawal na pala? of course, we met ms. g, our new adviser for the year
• 1st research - syempre sa research nagcmula e. haha. sir manaay was so freaking intimidating. we were all palpitating in our seats. we were asked to what our favorite tv show was and someone tallied it. the 1st sentence of my answer was wrong grammar due to my nervousness. haha... kkhiya grabe. basta, the experience was definitely nerve-wracking. "marshmallow test, emotional quotient..." haha. how could i forget?
• 1st english - still trembling.... we were given poem or something to interpret. and for the 1st time, i was asked to answer a question (against my will, of course). what the irony was in the poem was the question... haha. i gave my answer, but until now, i'm not sure if it was right. pedagogic with blanks was given right after. my gush. hahaha. nkkinis kaya un! nagppgawa ng ppt d pla kelngan. hmph.
• 1st filipino (also 1st subject of the year) - haha. mrs suplente was her old self again, of course. puro kwento. at jokes. haha. we were given our 1st homework which was to bring black clearbook. hahaha.
• 1st bio - hmmm... we met mrs hongo, that's all i remember. haha. never expected she would be so fun. oh yeah! she asked us to draw a symbol of who we are as students i think. basta. i remember drawing a weighing scale with a smiley on the left and a book on the right. haha.
• 1st social - muhahaha. sir blanca asked us how social was last year. The 1A peeps in the class gave "she-who-was-born-in-pangaea" a really bad review. i remember saying how hekasi used to be my fave subject in grade school. and how i expected it to still be my favorite until my dreams were shattered in first year. hahaha. loved that 1st meeting. sir blanca definitely lived up to my expectations - and more.
• 1st math - ugh... the start of my despair. i couldn't understand the 1st lesson because it was so... weird. it was the thing that had fractions. ah bsta. struggle tlga. sa MPR pa iyon. haha. grr.
• 1st CLE - this i definitely do not remember. not even one tiny detail. i wonder why. first day palang kasi, (BnB) buhay na bangkay strikes already!
• 1st quiz - bio quiz with mrs, hongo. haha. it was okay. everyone got either a perfect score or one mistake. a question i remember... hmmm.. what do you use to measure the height of a tree. haha. meter stick ung sagot. weird noh?
• 1st failed quiz - it was unexpectedly... bio. i always thought it would be math. i got 15/30. wahahaha... i was only able to answer 2 in the labeling of the diagram of the parts of the cell... from a 98 in the report card to this. T_T i suck at labeling. and i hate cells. period. haha. damn you plant cell! (p.s. plant cell, alipin ka lang ng animal cell. muhaha. die!!!)
• 1st "pinahiya/pinagalitan ako ng teacher sa class moment" - it was in filipino when i made a quick glance at the clock for no reason. it was really more of a habit than a desire/need to do so. i was even wearing a watch. ugh. it got me really frustraited. besides, what use is the clock if you're not allowed to look at it. they might as well remove it if students would be reprimanded for lookng at it. yuck, haha nagdradrama na pala ako.
• 1st love - asa. haha... labo noh?

PRESENTATIONS/CLASS PROJECTS/ FUNNY OR MEMORABLE MOMENTS INSIDE THE CLASSROOM

ENGLISH

• the first one was the REALLY weird one. the one where you had to "advertise" the different kinds of literature. i really couldn't understand that. as expected, due to the very blurry instructions, we all came up with totally different presentations depending on how we understood it. haha... one group took it literally and did a commercial. the others like tried to sell books. haha. one group even had scientists of some sort promoting planets named after the works of literature.
• the second one was kind of okay. at least the intructions were uhm... clear enough . haha. we had to promote the new 7 wonders of the world. our group got the great wall i think. i remember laughing at the maccu picchu i think. or not. bsta ung may nagsasaudi arabian accent. haha.
• what other presentations were there? hmm... ah, of course! haha... the really embarrassing one. where i had to play spidey's fan. haha... halos impromptu lang un e. tae! haha... kinarir ba masyado? nttndaan ko p lines ko. muhahaha... Q: "What part of his body is your favorite?" A: "Well, you rarely see any part of his body since he's always wearing that costume. But, OMG, do you remember his lips in that kissing scene when he was upside down and took off his mask?! Gosh!" haha... ^_^
• the Christmas jingle presentations - haha.... syempre ung pnakamemorable dun : (tune : jingle bells) Tao Te Ching! Tao Te Ching! Written by Lao Tzu! Go with the flow like the river yo! haha... thank God for good music (haha. sarcasm or not?). hmm.. for my group, my favorite was Kirsten as Slutty Santa... haha... this was embarassing for me too. i had to be rudolph and wear antlers and a red nose. haha.
• extemporaneouss speaking - LOL... this made me really nervous.... ano b ung mga nkktawang sagot? wla na ako mtndaan e. bsta the question i got was something related to humility or something. hay. ang labo ko nmn. kung wla rin akong mttndaan sna d ko na blinog. haha.
• newscasting - haha! grbe tlga! we had no practice whatsoever for this. haha.. uhm, what i remember is... ung may mga potential maging magaling na newscaster accdg to sir... i think it was jo, kim, and earl... haha... funny pla ung kay kim! ung traffic report. haha, nung una d ko gets ung diagram na may mga dots..... haha, what else... ung news ni eric! haha, ung brutal. ung may nasagasaan sa parade ata na bata... and the way he delivered it. parang excited pa. haha. bsta tawa ako ng tawa d2.
• readers' theater - hay tae tlga i2! nkkstress i2ng buisit na i2! haha. first of all, what readers' theater means wasn't explained to us. i didn't know what to do. should the readers move? should we have actions? should everyone read? how should everyone read? should the main readers be reading alone? should there be props, stage design...? kailangan bang karirin i2? i practically had to force everyone to practice, force everyone to create those folders (which btw was yet again another last minute addition), and force everyone to read. haha, hlta bang touchy ako d2? LOL. bsta. all i can say is. good luck na lang sa class president ng pilot class in the future. i swear, walang nakikinig. (lance can testify with great enthusiasm to this... haha)... pero okay lang... in the end, when everybody realizes na malapit na ung event, magprapractice na din and magtratrabaho na din as a class. tska napanood ko recently (haha) ung video n2 sa multiply ni gela. uhm, okay na din. mgnda ung effect nung folders. tsaka polished tignan. haha. of course, i seldom let my anger and frustration show... i guess that's who i really am. when practice time comes, i forget all of that and just enjoy. and laugh, of course. aerobics? to the left. ready set go! 12345678, 87654321.. haha.
• haha... hindi i2 presentation... nkktawa lang for my part.... haha... it was when we were reading The Bench one by one.... waaaaaaaa..... haha... ang dami kong mali... i really don't know why i pronounce "brow" as "bro" and not "brouw" initially.. haha.. i know that it's supposed to be "brouw" but everytime i see the word, i say "bro" waaaaa... tapos dun sa paragraph na binabasa ko, ang daming mhhirap na words. Bietjievsli, Annetjie etc.. (d na ako sure dun sa spelling niyan ah)... ewan ko ba... nkkasar tlga... haha.. pero ang saya... hahaha.
• syempre. who could forget? nosebleed debate sessions with sir manaay.... and the winner for the "pinadugo ko ang ilong ng 2B dahil ang lalim ng sinabi ko at wala silang naintindihan" award goes to Allan a.k.a. Hari Ng Mga Dinudugong Ilong a.k.a. Magpapakamatay Ako Para Sa 1 Point Sa Multiple Choice Sa Literature. HAHA... joke... syempre, idol natin lahat siya when it comes to nosebleed. muhaha... pinakamalalang debate? ung sequencing of events ng Gilgamesh... muhaha.. 1 period inabot... but very memorable... hahaha.

The past 2 weeks have been total CRAP. after a week of doing nothing at all (as proven by my frequent blogging in that particular week), we were loaded with a bunch of crappy homeworks, projects, quizzes, long tests, RESEARCH (which by the way is equivalent to ten quizzes and a handful of long tests and projects), plays and many more (just name it). so, back to not blogging for me. haha.

Despite all those CRAP (haha... sorry na), I think the thing that made be most anxious was the elections held yesterday. I mean the tension and the anxiety waiting for that moment when you see whether or not your name is the one encircled in that dreaded manila paper is just horrifying. It's even worse that the results itself.

To the whole batch, all I can say is that I'm really thankful. And rest assured, kakaririn ko ito. As in. Haha. Cheering, Prom, at iba pang activites. Ang utak, katawan, kaluluwa, at lahat ng mahakot kong resources ay ibubuhos ko para sa inyong lahat. Haha... Yes naman. Again, thanks again (haha redundant on purpose). Syempre, kung may suggestions kayo or criticisms, sabihin niyo lang. Haha, d nmn ako nangangagat.

To the other officers, let's all work hard. Mangarir tayong lahat! Haha!

DALOY

VOTE DALOY FOR JUNIOR COUNCIL ! :D
hay grabe... struggle gawin itong mga campaign images.

hindi lahat ng walang salawal ay bastos - winnie the pooh

before i tell you about yesterday AKA S.A.D. (single awareness day), let me share this first...

HAHA... this is FUNNY... this is a pinoy soliloquy (AWARE last year? thx sir abodiles!). it's a thing where insignificant objects are personified.

Pinapaikot mo lang ako. Nagsasawa na ako. Mabuti pang patayin mo na lang ako. - Electric fan

Hindi lahat ng walang salawal ay bastos. - Winnie the Pooh

Alam mo ba wala akong ibang hinangad kundi ang mapalapit sa iyo. Pero patuloy ang pag-iwas mo. - Ipis

Hala! Sige magpakasasa ka! Alam ko namang katawan ko lang ang habol mo - Shrimp

Ayoko na! Pag nagmamahal ako lagi na lang maraming tao ang nagagalit! Wala ba akong karapatang magmahal?!? - Gasolina

Hindi lahat ng green ay masustansya. - Plema

Hindi ko hinahangad na ipagmalaki mo na ako’y sa iyo. Ayoko ko lang naman na sa harap ng maraming tao ganun mo na lang ako itanggi. - Utot

Sawang sawa na ako palagi nalang akong pinagpapasa-pasahan, pagod na pagod na ako. - Basketball

You never know what you have till you lose it. And once you lose it, you can never get it back. - Snatcher

Ginawa ko naman lahat para sumaya ka. Mahirap ba talagang makontento sa isa? Bakit palipat-lipat ka? - TV

Hindi lahat ng maasim may vitamin c. - Kilikili

Sige, batihin mo ako…. Sigeee….. BATEEEEEE!!! - Omelette

Pilitin mo man na alisin ako sa buhay mo, babalik at babalik ako! - Libag

funny dba? ang drama nung electric fan... pati nung ipis... tsaka ung shrimp... actually lahat cla... haha...

anyway... so kahapon... haha. syempre para sa iba Valentine's Day... pero for most of us S.A.D...... haha... depressing ba? hindi ah

bat napapatagalog ako d2? haha... wala lang... feel lang... nkktamad magenglish e...
so anyway... kahapon nga... aside from Valentine's Day/ SAD, tradition na sa CSA na teacher's day din tuwing feb. 14. pano kaya nung saturday/sunday ang valentine's? kailan ung teacher's day? (haha... one of life's unanswered question ba i2? obvious nmn ang sagot e... haha...)

mahirap din pala magtagalog... okay, back to english... haha

since it was teacher's day, we had to prepare something for ms. g and sir t... the truth is i'm not as close to them as the other 2b people since i'm in the math and science pull-out... pero close pa rin syempre.... i still see ms. g every homeroom time.... and sir t was my math pull-out teacher last year.... so okay pa rin.... haha.. pero un nga, hindi masyado... mas maraming beses ko pa nga nakikita si sir manaay e... well actually lahat kami. (muhahaha... syempre, english and research = 6 mtgs/week) pero un... mas kilala pa rin cla ng mga kaklase ko... nevertheless, i of course did my best to express how much i appreciate them as my teachers...

the petal roses were simply beautful... tamang tama to set the mood... pero parang kasal ... ok lang... basta ang ganda tignan.... when they came in, we had the prayer and then we gave the 8R picture mosaic thingy (yes, memorize ung size? syempre ako nagpaprint e... mura pala dun sa photoshop sa tabi ng lumang jollibee sa park square) after that, we gave our own presents them led them to the biolab where yam's video of all our messages were shown... haha... marami pala samin video-genic (may ganun ba? basta hindi na ako kasama sa mga taong un)... tapos un lang... as compared to last year, i think our "presentation" is more meaningful.....

after that, we went to the gym... nothing special happened really... except when a coordinator/administrator shouted "PUNYETA!!!" in the microphone.... nabigla tlga ako dun ah... syempre kilala niyo na kung sino siya... haha. funneh... kind of ironic really... whatever happened to values they want to teach... you gotta practice what you preach gaya ng sabi ng black eyed peas. haha.. ang corny... anyway....

aun.. we (me and the 2b people na hindi nagdadate) walked to JR's 2nd house in paraiso st.... haha... grabe noh, 2nd? sana one day masabi ko rin, "i'm going to my 2nd house down the street" haha... grabe, pareho pang sobrang laki at ganda... prehong street pa... LOL.. gusto ko ngang nakawin ung isa e... kung pwede lang... haha.... so anyway, we walked there for our planned "party" since some people weren't allowed to go to the mall. but we walked to treats first for a lunch at kitaro... i had the 5-piece tempura. okay na rin. haha... they gave us free ballers with i love kitaro written on it... haha, hndi ko alam kung cno mga naguwi.

after that, we went back to jr's house. first, we attempted to "party" with the ipod on the speakers as source of sounds... pero ang corny ng mga tao e... tsaka wala sa mood...

haha... after like some time of laughing and doing nothing, we played truth, dare or strip... ako actually nagsuggest nung strip... haha.... wala nmng na strip e.. kasi ang corny pa rin ng mga tao.... slippers, shoes, socks, belt, and polo and jacket as outer clothing lang... haha... nkktawa pa rin... pinakakawawa c raj... the glue thingy (wala kasing bottle) kept on landing at raj... nung wala na siyang mastrip and nasagot na niya ung gus2 nilang malaman, dinare na lang siyang ilagay ung ulo niya sa pool... haha... funny... struggle para sa kanya e... haha... nakakakilig ung mga questions... haha..... may mga sumayaw pa as dare... yiheee... at syempre aminan ng most "likeable"... pero seret na ung juicy details... tuwing truth or dare, laging "walang lalabas" ang batas...

so after the truth, dare or strip, we kind of like had a... uhm... basta.... a thing wherein we all said things never to be divulged to another human being... hay, basta, kung ano man nangyari dun, secret na lang para hindi magkaroon ng world war... haha. labo.

so after ng truth, dare or strip and the "thing" (mga after 2 1/2 hours), since wala na kaming magawa, some people played pusoy dos and some people (including me) played this clue-like harry potter board game... ang saya niya... sobra... haha... meron kasing ghost na pwedeng hangaran/kainin ung mga tao... ang sama ni romano, lagi akong inaapi T_T... ok lang, in the end wala namang nanalo e.... haha... basta ang saya niya tlga.. bblhin ko un i swear.

since gutom na kami ulet (mga 5 na), we all ordered pizza hut... sarap tlga ng cheezy crust... then we all went to starbucks..... haha, grabe tlga.. tawa lang kami ng tawa... tapos ang weird pa nung tawa namin.... nahaluan nga daw alcohol ung pizza e... haha, basta nkkhiya... ang ingay namin.... bentang-benta tlga mga corny jokes ni ivan... haha... tapos after nagsubside ung tawanan, more serious stuff was talked about... haha... un lang... pagkauwi ko pago na pagod na ako so natulog na ako agad.....

over-all, it was a great day.... haha.... ironic ba? syempre kung single pag valentine's, imbis na magmukmok, magpakasaya na lang... thanks for making S.A.D. not sad at all! nkktamad magblog tungkol sa fair... wala nmng nangyari e... ang corny kaya.... haha

hindi tayo tao. hindi din hayop. BAGAY tayo. hahahaha..

for this post, i'm going to put up a collection of pick-up lines (english and tagalog) and edited lyrics thingy... since laughing and playing clue were the highlight of my day, the jokes given today reminded me of this... haha... wala nmn kasing ikwekwento masyado e... so i2 na lang (warning - ung iba medyo malaswa...haha) .... kung may iba pa kayong alam lagay niyo na lang sa cbox. :D

SCORING SYSTEM:
a = 1 point b = 2 pointsc = 3 points d = 4 points

20 to 34 points = Manang/Manong Kung babae ka, ikaw ang totoong halimbawa ng dalagang pilipina. Kung lalaki ka naman, pare kawawa ka naman, we need to find you a date. Isa kang hopeless romantic waiting for your one true love. Malamang tumanda kang binata/dalaga, tsaka mo pagsisisihan na sana kumerengkeng ka nung bata-bata ka pa. Pero sabi nga nila, yang mga manong/manang-types, yan ang mga nasa loob ang kulo. Kaya magpakatotoo ka, drink Sprite!
35 to 49 points = Kikay ("Kikoy" for guys?) Medyo ngayon ka pa lang natututong lumandi. Maharot ka pa lang at hindi pa full-blown haliparot. Mahiyain ka pa ng konti at di mo pa gaanong kabisado ang tamang "moves" pagdating sa flirting, kaya madalas pang sumasablay ang mga hirit mo. Pero you're starting to discover your sexy confidence, and learning how to make a hot impression. Baka wala ka ng regalo from Santa this Christmas, kasi you're turning from nice to naughty, nyahaha!

50 to 64 points = Kerengkeng Isa kang tunay na landutay. You're a tease, at mahilig kang makipag-flirt sa members of the opposite sex (o kahit members of the same sex.) Hindi sayo pinapakilala ng mga kaibigan mo ang mga syota nila kasi nilalandi mo lang, pero hindi mo naman inaagaw. Mostly hanggang naughty fun ka lang, alam mo pa din ang limitations mo sa pakikipaglandian... huwag ka lang malalasing.

65 to 80 points = Dyosa(for girls)/Machete(for guys) Maaari kang bigyan ng haliparot-of-the-year award. Isa kang totoong sex god/goddess. Yo know what you want and you go for it, wala ng kiyeme. Idol mo si Samantha Jones ng "Sex and the City." Walang makahindi sayo dahil kadalasan, naka-posas na sila bago pa man din nila malaman ang totoong hangarin mo. Maaaring nasa bilibid o koreksyunal ka na ngayon sa kasong exhibitionism, voyeurism, o acts of lasciviousness. Sa elementarya pa lang ay na-principal ka na sa kasong public display of affection.

I'm in the last group, of course... muhahaha.... joke.... hope you had fun. :D

"excuse me, isn't this a passageway?" - lalaking/babaeng mataray sa high street

okay... i know , i know.... this blog is endangered... in fact, it's risk of extinction is very high... 2 months? waaa... and it's my lack of time and energy to blog that made it so. but guess what? some kind of miracle happened and for the past weeks, we're not so busy. last week, i recall being busy only on wednesday.... but duh, wednesdays are always hell. but there's always friday to look forward to. who ever said that saturday started the weekend? friday IS the new saturday... haha... and this week, we automatically get 2 days off! moreover, there's field demo practice on monday and tuesday, and i'm SIIGE... haha... that leaves wednesday.... but whatever, my body has already adapted to the heat of wednesday hell... lalalala... i love 4th quarter! and because of this, i might actually be able to blog more... yey!

before i narrate the events of yesterday's very fun events, i want to share this optical illusion first.
what do you see? i bet you see an intimate couple... haha... but do you see 9 dolphins?

muhahaha... i bet not... it took me several minutes to figure out where the freaking dolphins are... according to where i got it, children see the 9 dolphins and not the couple. but not-so-innocent non-children (haha... wat?) see the couple and have a hard time locating the dolphins. young children can't see the couple because they don't have any any memory of intimate couples or anything related to such scenario. so, you're not so innocent anymore. haha... if you can't find the dolphins in 6 seconds, you're mind is corrupted and may need help... tsktsk... waaaaaaa... i can't believe it gave me such a hard time... good luck corrupted minds! (evil laugh) ^_____^
so anyway, back to the events of yesterday... actually a lot has happened for the past 2 months.... but, oh well... it might take me the whole week to tell everything... so i'll just stick to the most recent events.

so anyway, haha.. yesterday started quite peacefully.... who knew such a peaceful start could end with not-so-peaceful events? i woke up and prepared for the play meeting at school. but it turned out to be a PROPS meeting after all... because only props people and guia who were there. anyway, i started helping out anyway and it was a very peaceful working mood for almost 2 hours... with a few laughs here and there, of course. apparently, lisette was hosting a "going to high street and playing frisbee afterwards" gimmick and invited me. i almost didn't go because i haven't asked for permission yet. plus, i didn't have any money nor a mindset on going out. i was looking forward to sleeping the whole day and watching DVDs... haha... but anyway, i made the right decision and asked my mom who allowed me to go, as long as i go home with my sisters at 5. thank God for the 500 hidden in the "emergency flap" of my wallet.

anyway, after a half hour or so, i found myself in lisette's car with lisette (duh), romano, jonas, allan, marc, lance, and lisette's mother and sister. we were dropped off at high street. our 1st stop was food, of course. i was sort of hungry by then because i only ate cereals for breakfast...
they decided to eat at conti's (yes! sosyalan... feeling mayaman e... pero actually poor nmn... haha)... unfortunately, the restaurant was full and there were already 5 groups in the waiting list. we decided to wait (i don't know why).... there were chairs outside for the waiting people... for some weird reason, it was not occupied.... the waiter said that if the other people in the waiting list didn't come when a table was available then we would get it. and this is where the fun began... haha... how do i say this... the chairs were arranged in a manner wherein it surrounded the passageway to the restaurant... it was actually lined in both the left and right sides of the walkway.

so we were there talking about random stuff when this girl or boy (im not sure... haha... kasi nmn e... mukha siyang lalaki... pero may hinaharap... kaso may kaholding hands na girl na may itsura.. o dba nakakalito?) stared at us for like 5 seconds and suddenly blurted out "excuse me, isn't this a passageway?" in a mataray deep voice... ugh... so basic instinct told us to withdraw our feet right away... the truth is we never noticed that it was a walkway... people who were passing by and entering the restaurant was using another direction... it didn't bother me so much that he/she wanted to use that walkway.... it's just that.... the nerve! you could have said excuse me and stopped there... why the need for side comments definitely uncalled for? gosh. and using that deep mataray voice.. haha.. but the heck with him/her... we ended laughing when he/she was gone... someone (i forgot who) even said, "sana pala hndi ko na lang tinabi ung paa ko." haha... we were planning some evil things when he/she walked out of the restaurant... but we decided not to pursue it... haha.. syempre ganyan tlga pag Agustino... magalang pa din kahit na binastos.. yes nmn... application ba ito ng RHGP?

anyway, after 1 hour (ata) of waiting, we finally got a table... and it originally was meant for only 5 people so we were cramped... it was fun anyway... i ordered fish and chips and finished it quite quickly since i was starving by then. we decided not to give any tip for making us wait for an hour and because the waiter didn't "balat" romano's prawns... it was almost impossible to do so because of lack of space... but we ended up giving our sukli as tip anyway..... all is good.. ^_^

after that, we went to krispy kreme for delicious original glazed donuts. and, we had to talk to lisette's church to get transpo to the Army Field where we were to play frisbee... our immediate comment about the Church was "WOW! SOSYALAN!". it had many floors, an elevator, a bookstore, aircon, and many more... apparently, the frisbee thing was a kind of an activity the poeple who go to that Church did every saturday... there were many Augustinians and the parish comminuty was so close... i almost felt jealous... haha... we even saw paulo bediones... LOL....

they provided us free transpo to the field itself... at first, we were hesistant to play because we were shy and we didn't know how plus we didn't know anyone! (yes ang dami excuses e noh). but, the people turned out to be very friendly and fun..... we ended up having the best time.... they taught us how to play frisbee, a surprisingly fun sport. haha... we even participated in a "real" game after much practice.... it turns out most of us had potential.... yes naman....c marc nga nangangarir na agad e...... nagdadive pa? yes naman.... haha..... i was riding home with marc so at 5:50, his mom arrived and we had to go... the final score was a tie - 2-2... i didn't want to leave yet because i was having so much fun and i was meeting many people.
well anyway, that's all for now... hoping i could blog religiously from now on... goodluck to me! :D
