Slumber party!!
As usual I didn'n post this because I was waiting for the pictures to be developed. Hehehe, so last december 22-23 my bakada and I decided to have a get together since its been a long time since we last saw each other. So we went to Joca's house and unleashed all our pent up energies..lol..we watched movies, drank a lot of ....soda, ate tremendous quantities of chips, screammed our heads off while following the bouncing ball, played cards and talked until exhaustion took place at arround 430 in the morning. It was really fun!! We even took pictures of Joanna while she was sleeping and recorded her snoring because she was the first person to drop dead. But its in my phone. Darn!!! hehehe..here are some pictures we took in that so called slumber party
VIDEOKE!!!! along with other necessities such as drinks, chips and cake
Talking and talking with no care to the world
Just before we slept we were still taking pictures of our beautiful selves
Fixing our pulutan among other things

A day worth remembering
I forgot to post this because of the many things that were happeneing in my life..lol and well I was also a bit lazy to upload them. My last day before the christmas was spent with my Englisgh block since English was the only subject I had for that day. We had exchange gifts and everything. We gave 3 of our boys ( the boys we usually hang out with ) special gifts to show them how much we value them. lol...
We gave Ivan things from the "Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage" and a rosaary so that he would be protected whenever he uses his car. Somehow he always ends up bumping the car anywhere. For Justin, his picture in a bunny frame for him to remember the day he portrayed a role of a rabbit for our Lit presentation. And for Marion, Pooh floaters since he was a part of his high school's swimming varsity.
After that, we went with Ivan to hang his things inside the car and went for a joy ride. It was really fun and something I wont forget.
Here are our pictures
From left to right: Vanny, Me, Issa and Nice. We're inside Ivan's car going on a test drive to see if the things we gave him will protect him from accidents
Marcee and me in the parking lot infront of Xavier Hall
Ivan with the things we gave him so that his car would be safe from sharp objects, in comming vehicles and from himself

Market Market
I cant believe it! I'm up so early in the morning. Still not used to the break time schedules.
Yesterday my friends and I (along with my sis) decided to go to Market Market since I haven't been there yet. But first we had to make a stop at the LTO coz my best friend is going to get a students liscence. Yehey!!! So we took a jeepney from her house to the LTO office near the Municipal Hall of Cainta. But when we got there, the LTO office was gone!!! AHHH!!! So I called up my dad and asked him where it was now. Damn we wasted alomst 30 mins
So we decided to go to Market Market already and to do that we had to look for an FX that has a Crossings sign. Ahhhh!!! It was so hard!! We were out in the streets, inhaling the exhaust fumes of the cars (that made me so sick again) and it was so hot. We went to 3 different stops bnut we still couldn't find transportation. But after roughly an hour of waiting we found one. AMEN!!!
We reached Crossing but we still had to go to my aunt's office. So we rode a tricycle. I couldn't believe how many public tranportation vehilces we got into!!..lol...but going to Market Market, we her driver bring us.
Wow!! I was so shocked because it was soooo big!!! I literally lost my head while shopping. My friends had to restrain me because I wanted to go here and there and shop here and there!!lol..
Now here' s the fun part. In order to go home we had to ride the taxi going to Galle and ride the FX ( again) in order to go to Cainta. Looking for a taxi was easy but waiting in line for an FX at rush hour is hell!!! Still I had a great time although my ffet hurt a lot and my ungs are about to collapse!! hehehe...try it

Can you feel it?
It is comming.
The dark mist is moving from the west.
Slowly ever so slowly, making its prescence known.
The winds are slowly rising.
Blowing, blowing
So Strong, so powerful, so sure of its intent.
It is screaming, can't you hear it?
Howling, howling. Like a cornered animal so sure of its impending death.
It is comming.
The sun is covered by angry clouds.
So black, so dark that not a single ray of light could penetrate.
The flowers are wilting, dying one bye one.
The birds are no longer singing, nor grazing the trees around
Death permeates the air.
An odor so foul, so rancid is left in its wake
The world is slowly being engulfed in a dome of shadows for what lies ahead is to horrendous to accept.
It is comming.
No prayer, no plea could stop its voyage.
No amount of hope, no amount of want could hinder its path.
It is comming.
It brings forth coldness that embraces your existence.
Like a cloak that takes away all the warmth
Its touch are like frozen talons burrying itself into your heart
Oh the pain, such pain, such agony
As though your soul is being wrenched from your body, leaving you numb.
Empty
It is comming.
And there is nothing that can be done

I plead exhaustion
I feel like a wrung out wet cloth. My head hurts like hell, I dont feel well and I still have to study for my Botany long test (that we were supposed to take last Friday). I just woke up. Funny right? Well its not. I woke up arround 400 this morning because I had to go to school for the Fun Run. Let's put it this way, it wasn't fun. It was so tiring because we had to run from the cov-courts to the Moro gym then to Bel passing ISO then gate 3 going to arround the Blue Eagle Gym then passing infront of the grade school then back to the cov-courts .
The sad thing was I didn't eat breakfast. Stupid of me right? Lol..well my parent were still sleeping and I really didn't think about my stomach so off I went, driving through darkeness and arriving at my destination with only ice tea in my tummy
But I did eat once I reached the house. I was so famished that I ate a huge bowl of soup. My parents were still a litlle bit droggy since I did wake them up. But they were going on this gift-giving activity (for my dad's club) so they really had to wake up early. Then they left me because I was really so exhauted that I couldn't form a coherent thought.
After they left (and after I ate) I instantlly fell on the bed and slept. But like anyone who wakes up from an afternoon nap, I didn't feel peachy after.

Luck was not by my side
I just finished taking a bath. Weird right? I mean taking into consideration that I just took a bath oh say about 6 hours ago? Let's just say that I have a valid reason for doing it. I mean if you smell like rotten vegetables with a combination of exhaust fumes, I do believe you would also do what I did.
Okay recap of what happened for me to do such a hygenic thing. Today's our first NSTP meeting. Since it was the first, and my best friend was going to hitch with me, we went there realtively earlier than what was expected. We waited for about 30 mins before we were officially called to board pur jeeps. I was really excited, well since we were like going on a read trip. I was thinking that whatever we would do was comparable to what we did back in our CAT days in fourth year
So we arrived at the school. It was found in Payatas so you can just imagine what the surroundings (not to mention the smell) was like. We waited for about an hour there, just standing and being idle. Then we found out that we were in the wrong school!!! Can you imagine? we wasted an hour doing nothing because the driver of the jeep followed the wrong directions. So we waited again for half an hour for the jeeps in our school to fetch us. So we had to take another trip into the dirty, smelly and smokey highway
But at last we arrived. It was really an adventure, we were like a part of the amazing race. But it was also a little scary, coz the school that we were assingned to was only 100 meters away from the dump site. It was really risky to leave there. The people that inhabit that place are not what you would like to be friends with. I'm not saying that they're not nice but their upbringing and ways are very different from what we are accustomed to. And the smell!!! God...I think it came from the combination of rotten food with a little of this and that that were already passed their expiration dates
Since we were late, the Skills training started late arround 1030. Meaning that I had been awake for 5 hours already!!! Ugh...then they gave these talks on how to know if the kid is not ready to read and it was sooooooooooo...majorly boring. Good thing our faci told the teachers that thay had to cut it and let us eat. I was so lethargic with the lack of food ( because the last thing I ate was oh five hours ago) that I might have fallen asleep in the middle of there instructions. Then finally we went home.
So there you have it...my amazing day that ended in tragedy...oh well there's still tom.

A week to remember
Okay its Friday and its been a long time since i last posted here so I'll just give a brief run down of what transpired in my little sphere this couple of days
Tuesday: We had Monday schedule because of the trmendous number of suspension of classes that fall every Monday. But we were going to have a mass, scheduled at 1030-1130 so it means that we wouldn't have Botany!!! Yehey!! so together with my english block, we decided to eat out for once. So there, we went to Kamirori in Katipunan and had a blast. But there was only one glich. You see we had to use my car since I'm the only one in my circle of friends there that has a car and can drive. But on the way back to school something happened to me. My car wont start!!! Shit... I was majorly pissed! I mean how the heck will I go back to school right? So I called up my dad ( whose phone is out of coverage area) and ask him what I'm supposed to do. It turns out the stering wheel was locked and I only had to turn it hard on the left side and start the ignition inorder to start the car
Wednesday: It was my parents anniversary at it also happens to be the Feast of the Immaculate Conception ( weird right?). So we went to hear mass early in the morning and we went out so we could celebrate. We also went to a new shopping center in Libis. Its like Cosco in the States. It was cool
Thursday: Nothing really significant happened this day. The only thing was my math class ( that was 730-900) was cancled or in other terms we had free cut. Could you imagine math having free cut? It really weird. And my next class was at 900 so I had to wait for it. But then PE (my next class) only took about roughly 20 mins because we only measured our body fats (lol...). Then came Filipino..well you be the judge of that.
Friday: Finally its friday, but I still have to go to school tom and on Sunday. *sighs* Oh well. Okay this day totally sucks!! I mean it!! We were supposed to have our long test in Botany today since we weren't able to take it last Monday (we lacked another set of hand outs). I studied for it for a week already because seh postponed it only when we had our meeting last Monday. So okay, I was a little bit apprehensive since I dont know how she gives a test. Then the bombshell drops. We were waiting for her for 10 mins already (since after 10 mins it means free cut) and she still hasn't come. So our beadle went to the department and asked about her. They told us they have a substitute and wait for another 5 mins. So we waited...and waited...and waited...until the beale told us its free cut. Damn!! I've studied and studied for that test...but all for naught!!! Grr.....

I'm Alive!!!
I can't believe how much we take for granted the little things that make our life worthwhile. I mean from the food that we eat to the clothes that we wear, we really do not appreciate these gifts. I for one have neglected one of them and that is the telephone. Yes the telephone. I have used this device for as long as I can remember. From talking to my friends to using the internet, the telephone has been a very big part of my life. Yet I did not see its grave importance, until now.
You see we have lost one of our lives beacuse an unscrupulous person stole the wires of the telephone line for subdivision near us. Unfortunately one of our lines was connected there. Thus my bestfriend and I were rendered immobile because we can not talk to each other for the duration of roughly 3 weeks.
It was a good thing that our other line was still working. However I had to compete not only with my sister but also with my parents in using the phone. Specially during the time of the typhoon because from sunup till sundown my sister was using the phone
But now, I'm alive. I can finally talk to my friends and see how they fare without me. I will never, i mean never take this piece of equipment for granted again for now that I have suffered the results of its loss, I can now savor its real worth.
*parang essay noh?*

Friday..
Shox, its not raining anymore. I do love it when in rains, specially when there's a typhoon. I'm not only happy because there's a big chance that there won't be any classes the next day but there's this certain joy when I see the strong winds blowing and the rain beating hard against the concrete. I know, I'm weird. My dad even scolded me because I was really sad when I realized that the storm changed its course. He said " A lot of people are really happy that the super typhoon will not directly hit the metro but your sad because its not raining anymore"
Well can you blame me if I love that kind of weather. It's so sinister, so eerie, so powerful that you cant just help but love it. Okay anyway, I'm a bit happy since there's no classes today but I still have to study for my botany test on monday. Hopefully she (my prof) would reschedule our test since we haven't recieved her final handouts and we haven't reviewed as a class for it. But to be safe I'm studying
I texted my block mate a while ago. I wanted to know if we were going to have our NSTP tom. Lol...I really didn't want to go. I don't know, I'm just plain old lazy to go there since it wold start at 7 am and end at 12. Shox such a waste of a perfectly good saturday morning. But she told me that we wont have NSTP!!! Yehey!!! but hey, I'll devote my time studyin (asif)..lol...

Cont....
Gosh..the storms really strong. I can hear the wind and rain outside my window and its alarming. I recieved an email a while ago and there was an attachment there about the storm. It is really alarming since the picture made me see that the storm is as big ( or even bigger) as the country!!! I also saw in the news that signal number 4 is already raised in some parts of the country. Whoa!!! I really think that this storm would make a very big impact in our lives
Okay change topic. Remember I told you in my other post that my block mate's note book is with me. I was really distressed because I knew that the storm would come this evening so I really didn't know how I would give it to her. She texted me just recently and told me if I could just email her some parts of her notes that were not part of the hand outs. I know its tedious work but since I did borrow her notes I did it. At least I wont be worried and guilty if she cant study for out test.
Gosh..I'm logging out already. The strom's making me twitchy...
Typhoon Yoyong
Everything started normally for me this morning. My alarm clock went off at 5 am. I woke up. Opened my lamp. Got out of bed and went to get my towels ( I have two because I have long hair). That's when things began to change. My towels were not in their proper place. So I went to my parents room ( so I could go to their bathroom) and got my towels. My dad's alarm clock wasn't going off yet so they were still asleep. The cool thing about their alarm clock is that it has a built in radio. So while I was getting my towels I was listening to the news.
That's when I learned that all classes for all levels were canceled because of the comming typhoon. Gosh! wow I couldn't believe it. What are the chances of college students having no classes when there's a typhoon? Like zilch right? They only cancel classes when its signal number 3 or if the roads leading to the school are flooded.
So I went back to bed and woke up arround 8:30. The weird thing is it wasn't raining ( that hard) outside. So I was thinking, why would theyh cancel classes if it wasn't raining that heavily? I'm not complaining about the free day, its just that the news said the typhoon would arrive in Manila this evening, not this morning. So why cance right?
Still, I'm really not enjoying this free day coz I'm studying for my Botany test on Monday. I know its only Thursday, who in their right mind would study this early? Well I'm just covering my bases. I mean what if something bad happened? What if my family has to go somewhere this weekend? Plus, I do have NSTP this Saturday so how could I study if I'm that tired.
Well its relatively okay since I already studied the other parts. I just need the notes given by my prof so I could end this. But I'm a bit worried because I think we wont have classes tom and my blockmates note book is with me. I mean how could I give it back to her? Damn this typhoon. ....
Hmm...on a second thought...I love the rain!!!!

Its December already
Oh my gosh its december already and I still dont have enough money to buy gifts for my friends ( the money is only enough to buy stuff for me..lol..) And just think in three months time I'll turn 19!!! man..and I still dont have love life..lol..
Oh well...Okay since we cant do anyhting about the changing months I'll just tell you a little something that happened me these days. Okay yesterday we had our Math 12 long exam. Well maybe you'll say its just easy coz incomparisson to what the Math 19 and 21 are taking up it is somewhat easy. But think again!!! So we were kind off goofing arround before our test started. We were making all kinds of jokes because we thought though we didn't study we would do well in the test. Shet!!! I can't believe it. I mean yeah the test was not that hard but it was brain racking!! We had an item, an indentity matrix thing (that was our topic, matrices) and we couldn't find the answer coz when we did the steps everything became zero (which by the way should not be the case if you are doing the steps correctly). Sucks, whatever will be will be.
Okay another. I was absent last Wednesday (remember?) but my block mate, whom I adore so much, let me borrow the notes I missed in Botany. She told me that we would have a quiz on our next meeting (that's today since we didn't have any classes last Monday). So fine, I studied (can you believe it?) all those things in the handout. It was not an easy task since I was memorizing the five kingdoms found in the earth!! After studying my head was filled with different phylums and their sub divisions.
But guess what. We did had a quiz. But it wasn't about the topics I really studied for!!! OH gosh!!!I wanted to scream then and there but hey, had to restrain myself. Still, I did know the topics that were in the quiz so I think I aced it. But still....*sighs*
So there you have it. Its only the middle of the week. Dont worry I think there would be a lot more blunders in the days to come
