Probably one of the worst weeks ever.
My gaaaddd....Terrible week,i say. Even worse than exams week. I thought i'd be able to rest a little since its only the start of the 4th quarter, but HAH.Was i ever wrong.Di na ako nasanay sa ob. The scrapbook and the newspaper were both due this week, and last minute cramming was done in both projects.Kasi naman sa scrapbook,the teachers kept making last minute changes and kept changing the lay-out and what not.ang daming kaartehan when it was never like that since...ever.They just love giving students a hard time.Tapos for the newspaper, deadline was this friday and we haven't accomplished much even though we've been staying at arvin's house to do it. I've been multi-tasking more than i ever had before this week, doing the scrapbook in between classes and even during classes when the teacher wasn't really making us do much. So half of my table would be the scrapbook,and the other half would be some stinkin' seatwork, journal entry,or whatever and i'd be doing both.Grabeee,hassle.
Hmm,ok so thursday. May bago nanamang pakulo ang ob... they are now allowing students to showcase their talents in music by allowing the students with bands to perform in ob's restaurant, la dolce fontana during lunch time.Si Chua,Byron,JP and Darrel got me and hazel for their vocalists. Would've been really happy and all, but it somehow didnt feel right. Somehow the thought of it was weird to me, and i knew that that it'd just add even more hassle to the topsy-turvy life in school. I was right. So the bands have to audition pa and stuff to the principal,coz she only wants mellow music.Thats fine,not like i can sing rap or rock anyway. Tapos may mga schedules pa,one band per day,tapos dapat may outfits pa. And since all the slots were full na, if we'd get accepted we'd have to play during the 11-12 lunch break of the freshmen and sophomores, meaning we'd miss class and have to catch up nanaman.Pagod na ako sa kaka-catch up. I'm gonna be missing a lot na as it is, coz me,karla and jas are gonna be part of the formal dinner performance of the juniors. The theme is alumni's homecoming party, and we'll be doing a sort of excerpt of all the shows and plays that ob did in the past with sina lea salonga,aisa seguerra,isabel granada, geneva cruz,etc. Jas is gonna be little lea(annie), karla's gonna be cinderella and i'm gonna be princess jasmine.hehehe. Well, were gonna stay till after school and miss a few classes. .Oh yeah, and there's that performance for the prom that me,hazel and jas are gonna do with the o-five band in school.Magpa-practice din yun.so if i join the band pa, who'll probably practice din after school or on saturdays after CAT, goodness there'll be nothing left of me to go to college.I'd die before graduation.
Ok,so continuation.Here's one good thing that happened. During computer time, the bands that were supposed to audition were excused. We were supposed to play "same ground", but the chords were kinda alanganin coz kinapa lang nila yun and we didnt have time to practice. Plus i'm still a little paos, probably a left-over from the flu i had. Luckily,when the principal saw me, she didnt let us audition na since she said she knew me na and trusted that we wouldn't do anything rock or too loud or whatever.Hahaha,thats what you get from having such a small and
matinis voice.No one would picture you singing a rock song.But then i dont really feel it,and am just doing it as a favor to hazel. Anyways, after school me and karla had to practice for that formal dinner thing, and we finished mga 6:15-6:30 na. Rushed to arvin's house and started again on the newspaper. We stayed till mga 10:30 to 11pm, and we all planned to finish up when we went home and not sleep,as much as possible. So i did all i had to and all i could do and finished at 5 am. Planned not to sleep anymore and just wait nalang for sunrise or something, but my bed was too inviting. Slept for 2 hours. 7:30, went to karla's house and the poor girl didnt sleep AT ALL. We planned on going to school nalang late,like at around lunch time so we could finish up. (all our parents knew about this by the way,and we had excuse letters). But then it was already noon and we still had so much stuff to do, so we ended up finishing it and literally running to school to submit it at 5 minutes to 5 o'clock. BARELY made it. At the gate, the guards stopped us, but then we practically just flung the excuse letters at them and rushed to the faculty room. As expected, our journ teacher was just a pain in the behind. And she, being one of the most saddistic teachers i have ever had said that she'd charge us of cutting classes coz our excuse letters only said that we'd be late, but we got to school dismissal na. What the hell?!? i mean, We went through hell just finishing this stupid requirement of hers, and i know that she knows we didnt cut and that we worked on it. Nagpapanggap na law-abiding. Ob has the stupidest system in history pa. We talked to our adviser, and he said it was ok naman eh. Later on, arvin texted and said that the principal would talk to us daw on monday. Oh my god. I've never been to the academic office for an incident report or whatever, and the fact that ALL my groupmates were the ones who got suspended doesn't help one bit. If they charge us for cutting classes i will seriously consider assasinating them. i told my mom and she agreed to make a letter saying that she knew about it and all, but knowing Duran and knowing OB, it's gonna be bad!! No sleep for 40 hours and this is what i get. Fudge. See, this is why i cant feel the sadness in graduating and leaving this place forever. With all thats been happening, we just cant wait to get out. We've been measured na for our togas, received our grad pics, picking out the grad song and whatever, and still i cant really feel the remorse of graduating. 5 weeks nalang....

Exams are over!!!
Finally, i can breathe. Actually, not really,hehe... i caught the Flu last sunday and it's still here. Stupid Flu vaccines dont work! Imagine trying to comprehend such flabbergasting questions, fighting back sleepiness, covering yourself from the draft of the aircon thats pointing right at you,and stopping the snot from dripping out of your nose(with just a few pulls of tissue, mind you) all at the same time. Couldn't study nga that much coz my head would hurt like crazy everytime i tried. Weird nga eh, this must be the first time that i didnt really care much about the exams anymore. Sure, i studied but i didn't kill myself doing it like i usually do.Plus there was no guilt.... it kinda feels nice! hahaha... and it didnt go so bad coz i got to answer all the problems in the stat exam, and math wasnt as hard as i expected. I was expecting to die. but im alive! Physics though,gaaahh... the things i studied didn't really come out, and the ones i disregarded did. hate it when that happens. Anyway, i wont bore you anymore bowt the stupid exams.
Requirements Galore
Aaaah. exams are over, but then there are still the endless requirements left and right. There's that stinkin' newspaper project for journ that we have to do, the scrapbook for foodtech whose layout has been revised by the teachers about 3 times now, and those stupid economics notes that i will forever be too tamad to do. but although the newspaper thing is such a hassle, it can be fun,hehe. After the exams, we'd go to arvin's place to work on it, and for the first time (you know me, barely get to watch tv) i saw Jesse McCartney's video, "beautiful soul".Aaaaaahhhh, he's so cute!!!I used to hate that song, thinking it was Aaron Carter who sang it and that the lyrics said "i want you when you're beautiful", but then when i finally saw it on myx....Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! haha, it's been stuck in my head non-stop now, and i've pissed my sister off with it.hihihihi. My new crush. Hey, cut me some slack, i still am entitled to teeny-bopper crushes as i AM still a teen though i only have the last 2 years left. ;p Plus dont worry, i wont go posting him on my wall or anything!hehe...I cant even remember my last one, i think it was either Hayden Christensen or Heath Ledger,haha...but they're not exactly teens. Anyways,i've only seen it once and i cant even remember exactly what he looks like, but i still think he's hot!haha.
The Hobbit and the Ogre
Today was the last day of exams, we only had accounting but then the rest of the day we'd have to have regular classes. i know, it sucks bigtime. But then i was only half-day coz i had to accompany my sis to Paco Park and Luneta park to get pics for her project. Noone else could go with her, and since i wouldn't really miss much, my mom let me go. (had to go through a lot of hassling stuff at school just to leave though) So we went to Paco Park first, where Rizal and Gomburza were buried pala. Was cool, i love going to places like that! Old ruins or historical places and things. At Luneta, we went to the part where there's a light and sound show of the last few moments of Rizal's life,(no light and sound show then,though) and all the statues portraying him and other people. Man, i was Literally only HALF of those statues!haha, but then me and my sis were posing with the shorter ones, looking and being all retarded next to their serious faces.hehe, it was fuuun! A fun date with my sis na parang field trip,hehe.
Batch Party
We're having a batch party tomorrow here lang in Greenhills, but then one of the repper's of T1 is celebrating her debut that night as well! And im already committed to that, so i dunno if i can go pa to the batch party despite it being so nearby.Arrgh. Heeeyyyy... Ateneo Fair next saturday, chiara's just invited me to go with her and stuff, wonder if i'll be able to go this time or if my curse of last-minute-things-keep-happening-to-me-that-prevent-me-from-going-to-any-fairs will still live on. I feel bad nga eh, i've NEVER been to the assumption fair! i keep telling chiara pa naman that i will,but the mentioned curse keeps happening. My whole high school life,i've only been to the st.paul fair but only coz jas was gonna play.Geez, i've only got 2 months left, i need to lift this curse before i graduate!
Graduation blues... but not that kind.
I feel odd. Normally, being the emotional mess that i usually am, i'd be all remorseful about almost graduating and leaving high school. but i'm not! in fact, most of us are just excited to leave. Probably because our 4th year's been so bad. I mean, i loved 2004.. when i look back on it, it was a very eventful year for me and all, but 4th year wasn't so great. Nothing will ever be able to beat 3rd year. Although if Miguel were still our classmate... yeah, i'm sure you've heard this a thousand times. I just cant stop wondering or wishing that he was still our classmate. the 3H that used to be is now 4C,his class. Haay. I know im gonna miss my friends a WHOLE LOT. but right now,i'm just not feeling emotional about it at all. In fact, they were already getting our measurements today for the toga, and i've watched our AVP na and the pics of us in 4th year flashed by, but still nothing.I felt sad, but not sad enough to cry. I need to cry. Maybe its one of those times when it'll just hit you when it actually happens. Or maybe it still hasn't sunken in that i am in fact 17,in 4th year, and am about to leave high school for good. What's wrong with me?! I've been feeling weird lately.Well, weirder than usual. I sometimes surprise myself with my thoughts, coz i wouldn't normally feel or think that way. Oh my.... could it be? I think i may be getting that first step off the neverland...... wendy's finally growing up.
I dont know whether that makes me happy or sad.

Not much to say right now, well actually i do, but i'm just feeling too tamad to actually type it. All i can say is, today was an uber KILLER DAY!!!! NYAAAAARRRGHH!!!! long tests in every subject and i didnt get to study for them because our stinkin' economics teacher thinks his subject is the only one we have and piles up all sorts of stuff due the next day(today). Gaaaahhh... thought i'd pass out na last night! kinda did actually, when i finally lied down on my bed to stretch my back, poof...was a goner in about 8 seconds. Only realized when my cd stopped playing and made a weird noise. Only 4 hours of sleep again for me....cant seem to sleep before 2 o'clock anymore! haay, tapos exams nanaman next week, and i'm not confident in ANY of the subjects,not even French! waaaah, i dont know how to speak french anymore! those wonderful lazy days during the christmas vacation wiped out everything i've learned in school. WAit, i'm blabbing again, i said i wouldn't write much! anyways..... was just browsing through the net when i came across the lyrics of one of the millions of favorite songs i have. I love it coz the lyrics are so cute and i can relate to the embarrassing-ness of it.....though what he talks about is worse,i can relate! haha, gotta love John Mayer.......
My stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said well anyway..
just dying for a subject change.
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon
We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good,
what just slipped out,
and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now
One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, just wanna be funny
Looks like the joke's on me
So call me Captain Backfire
I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

Ok, for now this entry will go to my bestbud, who's busy frolicking with the kangaroos and koalas in sydney. :)
Things missed:

Foodtech- Individual proj: choose 1 recipe of preserved foods that can be done in the lab within 2 hrs. (for 1-2 servings), submit proposal on tuesday when you get back. no duplication of recipes with other classmates.OB will provide the budget for the ingredients(P250).

VE- longtest on chaps 16-20 on tuesday.
Journalism- The NEWSPAPERs are due JANUARY 17. this is murder. we have a longtest on tuesday.
Math- we have new notes and we had a quiz. it wasnt that hard,surprisingly.
Physics- we're gonna have long test 1 and 2, and quizzes 3 and 4. didnt quite catch when though :(
Accounting- we had a seatwork. essay lang, bowt your new year's wishes. cinareer naming lahat;)
PE- practiced the dances. dont worry, la pang chosen pairs.
thats about all the homeworks, on wednesday i was only half-day coz of my interview in UAP. But then they didnt really do much since there was a rehearsal for the intrams.
INTRAMS:
Thursday: boring! i was soooooo sleepy. stayed mostly with sina teriese. As for the glee club, all the 4th years except BIEN performed. kasi nung wed, pinatawag lahat ng glee club at 2pm, eh since walang memo, the teachers wouldnt excuse the students,dunno how bien got out. So during practice at 5,sila korinne tried explaining pero nag walk out daw si ma'am. oh well k lang, it was basically just marielle who was heard anyway,she sang i believe.
Volleyball: Seniors against juniors---> juniors won! ;p
Men's volleyball: i believe we are unbeatable.
Basketball: Seniors against Juniors----> we won, but it was a close call
Friday: Volleyball championships: Us against juniors---->we won,3 sets in a row!!
Men's Volleyball championships: no doubt, our guys rule.
Basketball championships: against the juniors again, WE WON!!! 41-49 ata yung score. Lance.Mark.Tuting....astig.;) Sa juniors, my husband was the star player. Exagg, ang galing niya in fairness. even if he refuses to utter a single word to me. but then he got injured. haha, go seniors! ;)
Cheerleading: we performed last. the juniors were the only ones without pompoms, style nila.si Michael something,yung senior dati was the one who helped them.he was there on stage with the other alumni's and kept cheering for them right behind us. Ang galing ng freshmen! sila carizza,bea,marielle and maryrose, ang cute nila, galing sumayaw! and guess what..... they won 2nd place ;) And for !st place....Who else?! it's our year indeed!woohoo!!!!! ang cute ng dance nila. Syempre, umiyak yung juniors. they were so confident that they'd win daw sabi ng iba.yung mga cheerleaders nga natin weren't confident that much eh!pero astiiiiig.:)
we also won in badminton, men's singles and doubles. Of course, mister Andre Gan kasi.
Anyways, for spirit day, you have 2 certificates! 1 for the suzuki delegate thing, and the other for winning gold in the CAT cup. In fairness, 1st time kong makasama sa mga awardees in the spirit day! j'adore CAT! wahahaha. you're certificates are with me.
hay,ayun lang. We missed you looooots! and Kaye has a lot to tell you when you get back. A lot indeed. :)

STIL ANNOYED.STILL PISSED. Je deteste....it. I feel like shooting something....or someone? hehehe.. good thing i went out last night though, i really did NOT wanna be stuck at home alone with my thoughts. Last night we had a cousininity, me,my sis,my bro, and my cousins john,abbey and mico went out to this bar in makati. forgot the name though,er....Tiananmen?hehehe.We were supposed to go to greenbelt,but they said it was too full so we went there instead.Funny story: My brother texted my mom asking where she was, and she said that she was off drinking with her cousins.My bro answered, "oh that's ok, we're off drinking with our cousins too." then when we went upstairs, lo and behold! there my mom was drinking with her cousins indeed. hehehe,we stayed at another table but visisted each other from time to time. It was fun,this was the first time i ever went out with them,me being the youngest among them and all. I was quite smashed,hihihihi! only had about 3 margaritas,but that was enough to make me all weird and stupid-like. Well okay, weirdER and stupidER than usual. They were laughing at how stupid the expression on my face probably looked, so kuya told my ate to bring me to my mom; it'd make her proud. (thats not a bad thing ok,we torreses just have really weird ways) Hehe,so i sat there with my mum and tito allan, and we were having a laugh trip over this "secret admirer" of tito allan who had really bad grammar.Mean, but you'd laugh too if you saw the messages! anyways, back at the cousininity table, we were sharing all these stories of the stupid things we've done when we were younger and all that,then about more serious stuff like our parents and the sort.Was a lot of fun, i enjoyed new year's.
hmm,the living dead has sprung to life again! something i believed to be gone and kept in a heavy-bolted drawer for all eternity is SORT OF alive again. But i'm not THAT stupid, i'm just appreciating the thoughtfulness. Coz if it were to be alive again,geez that would be the third time.And as i said, i'm not THAT stupid. (chiara, you can exhale now.)
School tomorrow!haaay, so the vacation's finally over. it was fun, even though we went to laguna and back endlessly, finally i had my days of rest and pigging out. Intrams are this week,yaaaay, go seniors!!!!!! oh, and wish me luck for my interview at UA&P this wednesday! aaaagghh.
Jas. I cannot believe you just...did that!! lagot ka sakin when you come back! bwahahaha...
Arvs. sorry couldnt reply the other night, had no credits! but yes, i'm okay. :)
Reppers.who's going to the ac juniors party,venido? do tell!=) hope i can go,hehe.
Congrats to everyone who passed DLSU! i was bored one night and typed in almost all the names of the 4th years i know to see if you guys passed. hehe.Congrats!=)
c'est tout, au revoir!
