In the pool of people's names, my name Kei is often the shortest and simplest. "Not Just A Letter" emphasizes that my persona, in contrast to the letter "k" hinted by my name, is neither typical nor ordinary. There are exciting (and sometimes out of this world) twists and turns in who I am and what I do. I hope you follow my journey in illustrating myself using an electrifying medley of letters (and a keyboard) as my tool.

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.

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.

(the 3 people on the far left are my cousins Jasper, Kuya Primo, and Ate Mae-Mae. They're fluent in Tagalog because they lived here first and mirgated there except Jasper who was born there kaya hindi na siya marunong. haha. sosyal mag-English un. nkakanosebleed.

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 sister @ the world's biggest McDonald's (daw. nkasulat sa loob e. haha. ang weird niya. it's like three floors. and there's a really big playplace and arcade. haha.)










- me, my mom, and my sister @ Cinderella's Castle in Disneyworld's Magic Kingdom






- me and my sisters w/ Pocahontas @ Disneyworld's Animal Kingdom (nyahaha. kktawa magsalita c pocahontas. parang high. masyadong masaya. LOLZ. bkt kaya? tsk tsk.)




- 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.)

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.

Bietjievsli, Annetjie etc.. (d na ako sure dun sa spelling niyan ah)... ewan ko ba... nkkasar tlga... haha.. pero ang saya... hahaha.

THANKS BATCHMATES!

Before I talk about other stuffs, may bago na naman akong nakitang pick-up lines... muhaha.

1) Keyboard ka ba? Type kita e.
2) Ice ka ba? Crush kita, okay lang?
3) Para kang SM, you've got it all!
4) Para kang plema! Di ka kasi maalis sa dibdib ko!
5) May MMDA ba rito? Kasi nagkabanggaan puso natin!
6) Pwede ba kita maging sidecar? Single kasi ako eh…
7) Uy malala na yung sakit ko sa puso, dalawa na lang options ko para gumaling, either ICU or U C me!
8 ) Are you a PS game? Because i hope you're not TEKKEN!
9) Alien ka ba? Kasi you're out of this world!
10) Yosi vendor ka ba? Kasi you give me HOPE and MORE!

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!
