* Thursday, October 30 *
Anyway, I was able to watch the Count of Monte Cristo. It was cool! Edmund Dantes is the best!!!
We were supposed to go swimming, but I forgot my swimsuit. Weh. Talk about stupid. It would've been nice to cool off. I guess thia is a sign that I'm resigned to my work - even if I'm on my break. Not that I'm complaining. This kind of work I'd take over IW any day. Hehe.
Okay, later. I'm going to go lie down and try to get rid of my hangover.
Oh before I go, my sincerest condolences to Xine. I hope you feel much better soon.
Latest indulgence: all the food I've been eating today
I want: to receive friendship-affirmation letters (or palancas) :D
Craving: more time
Obsessed with: the retreat
Flipping through: WASTED - Alanguilan / By The River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept -Paulo Coehlo
Angel of the Day: Kends, for a great time; Raph, for standing by me; Juli, for a great conversation
Went out with Kendra today. Had a really good time hanging out with her. We ate at Pancake House, and then later at Ice Monster. It was super fun. I really miss Kends.
She made me realize something extremely important, and it made me feel better about my current issues. Heh. My moment with Kends and the ice scramble at Ice Monster. Super wow.
I also saw Cara (with Nikki), Carla (with her class) and Angel (with Jerome). It was also really great seeing them. :) Got a hug each time too!
The retreat is stressing me out... But I know that I wouldn't miss it for the world! I know that it'll be worth it all in the end. Guys, pray that it all goes well for me. *breathes in and out* Especially the singing at the Mass. Hope I can do it well.
Going to Batangas tomorrow. As usual, I'm really tinatamad. I used to enjoy it a lot when I was younger. Now... Well, I just don't feel like it anymore. *shrugs*
* Monday, October 27 *
Latest indulgence: Original Pringles
I want: more time... and to be allowed to lunch with Kends on Wednesday
Craving: peace
Obsessed with: my plans (or rather lack thereof) for my birthday
Flipping through: the Gospel for our retreat
Angel of the Day: Ericka, for her happy comment; and Perry, for the testimonial.
Today wasn't bad, despite the fact that I probably just failed two tests, one in English and another in CL.
We performed in the Marian Songfest kanina. (Yes, that's why it's raining.) We didn't do so bad. :D Actually we did our best, but the sophomores won, but it's okay. They really were more prepared and polished than we were. :) Ate Mara was there with some of the old PMM members. (It was nice seeing you.) Hehe, 'twas funny. Sobrang nakakagulat yung video namin. None of us saw it before today, so we were all laughing on stage. Wahaha! Grabe, I even got a close-up playing the violin - which you all know I can only dream about playing properly. I didn't look so nice, but that doesn't matter - it was still pretty hilarious seeing myself projected on stage, even for just a couple of seconds.
Anyway, the best part was when we were all dismissed to eat recess. Dana came up to me, laughing and telling me how guapo Ericka thought I was. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ms. Pogi strikes again! I didn't have my glasses on while we were performing, because it's what I do to keep from getting nervous (you can't exactly get nervous, if you can't see your audience properly, now can you?). My hair's still pretty short, and it didn't look as bad this morning as it normally does, so from where my class was sitting, Ericka honestly thought I was a guy. She asked daw Kimchi and Dana who the guapo guy was daw. Then when she realized it was me, she was super nagulat. Hahaha! I don't care whether this is true or exaggerated or what, I just find it freaking cool! That kwento really made my morning!
The CL test and the English test sucked, because I didn't study properly. *blames titas dragging people to Glorietta to try on dresses* My fault entirely, but still... Oh well, nothing I can do about it now, except to do better next time.
Algebra wasn't so bad though... We went through some of the questions from the last session test. She also said that I got a VG on the test. *relieved sigh* I'm glad I didn't fail or anything... I really have to maintain my grades.
Anyway, Mrs. Borja called Paola (Piccio) and I to talk after class. Boy... I got worried. I kinda thought she wanted to talk to me about my *sliding* grades. Turned out to be something for the retreat.
Speaking of the retreat, mine is on November 6-7. It would be really nice if you made me a letter (or a palanca) for the retreat. You don't have to, of course. But I really would appreciate it from the deepest recesses of my heart. If you do and can't give it to me personally, you can e-mail it to me here or you can actually MAIL it to me (but I doubt few would actually do this), ask me na lang for my address. :)
* Sunday, October 26 *
I'm sleepy.
I think that's all I really wanted to say.
Tara's going to be absent.
I'm performing in the Marian Songfest later. Hopefully, I'll be able to sing. Wish us luck!
Later...

Latest indulgence: spending three and a half hours with LnK
I want: to not have to do anything. (lazy...)
Craving: a massage - let's have a Pamper-Christa Day!
Last Movie Seen: Little Women
Song I'm Singing: Sayang - Parokya ni Edgar
Angel of the Day: all the LnK people - the kids and the tutors!
Haay... Today was a good day. *smiles* Like I told Franco, today was my happy day. I think I can make it through the days separating me from sembreak now. Hahaha, I love LnK!!!
Felt really out of it for the first hour and a half or so. But after I talked to the kids, I felt so much better. I really miss teaching the kids. It was good to see them, and it was better to hear that they were doing okay and what we taught helped them. It made all the crap I went through during the summer worth it. :D Then of course, my friends made it even better. I love talking to the LnK people. I got all hyper then. Haay. Ang sarap talaga ng feeling - gusto kong balik-balikan.
PLUG!!! Xine and Tara each have a new layout! Check it out!
My gosh... Today should be Friend Appreciation Day. I love my friends!

Angel of the Day: the first person to make me smile today
I have a headache. I've been waking up with one everyday since Tuesday. I don't get it. I feel like my head's slowly imploding. Not nice.
No classes today. There's a rally at Meralco. It's nice to have another long weekend. Now I have tme to work on *magic.* I still have to finish Chem, English and SocSci IW on Tuesday and Wednesday. How tedious.
Spent my morning preparing some stuff for tomorrow, and watching TV with my mom. That was nice. We caught a bit of In And Out - a really cute movie. Hehe, I love movies like that. Makes you remember how good people really are.
I'll drop by again later and maybe change my layout na, finally.

What kind of little girl were YOU?
brought to you by Quizilla
HWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I couldn't resist posting this. It's hilarious! Somewhat true though, would you believe? Except for the last part. I did dress all girly as a kid, embarrassingly enough. But I had more male playmates than female ones, because in my old school, there were only around five girls in a class of twenty. Methinks I'm the hybrid of that and the one below.
Tomboy
What kind of little girl were YOU?
brought to you by Quizilla
My inner child is sixteen years old!
Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.
How Old is Your Inner Child?
brought to you by Quizilla
Sixteen? *guffaws* I'm not even that old yet!!! I think the test should've said that I was six... or ten... sixteen? My inner child is older than I am!!! For a month, at least...
Speaking of sixteen, my birthday's coming up soon. My mom was asking me yesterday what I wanted to do for my birthday, or more precisely, where I was going to eat. *sighs* I'm still undecided. Shucks... I'm turning sixteen na... Wow. It's The Year. Gosh... I think I'm kinda scared na. Overreacting I am... But still - this is me we're talking about, I'm either NR or OA, you gotta know that.
Anyway, if any of you guys have suggestions... My birthday is on the weekend of the Poveda fair. If you guys can give me any ideas that'll coordinate with this event, please do.

I want: to not have to go to tomorrow’s practice
Craving: a stress-free weekend
Obsessed with: getting permission for Saturday
Flipping through: Shopaholic Takes Manhattan – Sophie Kinsella
Song I’m Singing: Finding Me – Vertical Horizon
Angel of the Day: Mica, for making me feel loved
It’s been a pretty busy weekend so far. I’m a little tired. I’m happy that there are no classes tomorrow, but I still have to attend Magnificat practice tomorrow at Tala’s house. *sighs*
Nicole and Carmelie went to Poveda last Friday. It was nice seeing and talking to them. I talked to Nicole about lots of things: college, high school, Mrs. Borja, CSDC, PMM. It was fun. Hehe, Carmelie talked to Chesca more, but she squeezed in a piece of advice for both of us: “Enjoy your high school life, especially the parties.” Haha, sad – obviously I’m going to lose on that score with a big fat zero. Anyway, it was really cool seeing them.
Yesterday, I went to Eena’s house for an IP meeting with Eena (duh), Kimchi and Carla. It was fun too. Lesson learned: Don’t wear yellow to Eena’s house – you might get run over. I’m too lazy to explain.
I also went to the APO/Parokya concert at Ateneo last night. It was fun. I went with my tita, my cousin and my brother, but I met up with Cara and ended up hanging out with her instead. Mers, Monesca, Gela, Klar and Meggie were there too, aside from the many other Povedans. I got all hyper when Parokya started playing. Haha! I also had a cold Seattle’s Best Vanilla Breve – not very good, way too bitter for my taste. I put around five white sugars and two brown sugars in my coffee – seven in all, but I still couldn’t finish it, because it was too bitter. Seattle’s Best Coffee Espresso is too strong. Weh… I also dumped in it some whipped cream with chocolate syrup from my brother’s Frio. I was on a sugar high last night. We left at around quarter to midnight, but the concert wasn’t finished yet. I didn’t mind though; I was getting tired, although I really wanted their autographs. ;p Yeah, is it obvious I really, really love Parokya?
Embarrassing things happened last night too… But I’m not good enough with words to express what exactly happened. Just ask me na lang… I’m sure you’ll find it hilarious – especially you.
This is enough. I think I still have to go to cotillion practice later, and then maybe after, I’ll write Mica’s testimonial on Friendster.

Last Song Syndrome: Build a Bridge - Limp Bizkit
Last Movie Seen: we watched this documentary thing in THE called "Kids with Kids"
Hmmm... It must be that season or something... Lately we've had so many talks about marriage, boys, human sexuality... One after the other. I have it coming out of my ears now. Thank goodness not out of my mouth though... It's been two weeks after the interaction. Last Tuesday, we had a human sexuality talk. Yesterday, we watched the THE documentary by the Probe Team AND I attended this mission-vocation talk where two of the speakers talked a lot about marriage. Yesterday I wrote my reflection paper about the interaction; last week, I submitted my BlaSt piece about the interaction, and today I have to write my THE reaction paper about(surprise, surprise) the interaction. Hmmm... It must be that time of year...
I feel lazy. I'm sick of being told about how we should develop healthy, WHOLESOME, NON-IMPREGNATING relationships with the opposite sex. I'm tired of listening to teachers go on and on about the proper style of courtship and dating. I don't want to hear anymore about how I'm supposed to be preparing for marriage this early in life. Gosh... I'm only fifteen. I've only started *considering* that liking boys isn't so bad, and already they're filling my brain with all this marriage crap. I have bigger problems than this! Why is it that these relationship talks seem to never run out, and yet we haven't had a single career talk. That's stupid. Our priority at this age should be preparing for our future, not thinking about creating one with someone else.
Gah... I have a headache. I should go lie down... Right after I finish my THE paper and my Filipino IW. ---_____---;;;

Latest indulgence: pizza! (c/o Ches)
I want: actually, I need money
Craving: contact
Obsessed with: testimonials... they're fun to write, even more fun to receive
Song I'm Singing: Why Don't You and I - Chad Kreuger (sp?)
Angel of the Day: Chesca, for th pizza; Yla, for being fun to hang around with lately
Haay... I'm in limbo again. Shucks. I miss having stuff to blog about, but lately I've been tamad. Weh... My laziness will kill me someday. I can see it now.
Anyway, I feel uneasy. I'm not exactly sure why... Maybe it's related to the Friendster bug that's hit everyone. All I know now is that looking at certain people's profiles makes me feel weird, sometimes even insecure about myself. Weh... Yes, it's the stupid insecure bug thing that has bit me again. Gosh, it's like a mosquito... You don't notice it's bitten you, until there's a tiny bump on you skin that look odd and feels really uncomfortable. So you end up scratching it and scratching it, until it's turned into a tiny wound that has a keen sting that you can barely feel, and when it heals it leaves a scar... Weh. Another one of my weird metaphors... All I know is that it's fun to receive testimonials; it also feels great to write them. Hehe. La lang... But still. I'm going to try to avoid the place from now on.
In other news... XS is having their Days with the Lord soon. How is this in any way connected to me? Hmmm... I'm writing one of their palanca things... Kawawa naman kasi the guys who actually sent some papers with their names on them for us to write on eh. So I'll humor the friends of these people and put some nonsense into their letters. It's weird, because I don't even know these people. Nagsasayang lang talaga ako ng oras...
Well... That's enough for now. I have to go fiddle with my tagboard na.
* Saturday, October 11 *
My mom sprained her knee this afternoon. Worried the hell out of all of us. But she's coping. Thank God. I love my mom.
My dad on the other hand is being... Heh. I don't want to talk about it. I just get more irritated. And to think I just finished writing my relflection paper about him.

Flipping through: Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic
Song I'm Singing: Swing Swing - All American Rejects
Hmmm... I realized that these past few days so many people have been good to me. I think I'd like to acknowledge most of them. Thanks go to Raph and Perry for listening to my shallowness and giving me sound advice. What would I have done without you? Thank you to Anna, Cara, and Pam for talking me through the past couple of days - I know I haven't exactly been wonderful lately. Thanks also to Niann for listening to me bitch and sulk about the interaction, and for helping me with my BlaSt piece. Neesan, you're the best!!!
Ms. DelRo told me na my grades for the first term. PTC's on Monday. I did a lot better than I expected. I'm so happy with my grades! I'm not satisfied, mind you, but I'm really happy about them. I got nearly straight VG's, I got only two G's - Computer and THE. Ms. Delro was saying nga na sayang, because of all the subjects to get low in, two minor subjects pa, tapos she's one of the teachers who gave me a G,and I'm one of her advisory students pa. Oh well... I hope that I can at least keep up my grades, or maybe even improve. *sighs* At least I'm slightly more motivated now. I really can't afford to slip up in my academics.
Hehe, there was a meeting for the BlaSt people kanina. I got so hyper, because of what my adviser told me. Nagulat ata yung mga Xavierians, because I just kept talking and talking and talking. The editor-in-chief of Stallion was laughing at me, because ang inay-ingay ko, and then suddenly their teacher walkied in and I was the only one talking, because I didn't see him. Weh... That was a little embarassing. Also embarassing was that I didn't notice that there was a teacher in the room, and I just kept spilling profanities. Another weh... I stayed with Steph, Cara, Dana, and our counterpart in the English Department, Franco - who I think likes Steph. ;) Haha! We didn't really get much done though, even though we were there from 4-6. Oh well... It was fun anyway - actually more fun than the interaction.
I volunteered for the Magnificat thing for our batch. Oh boy... I hope that it won't turn out a flop. I really want to do well, because it would be embarassing if our batch didn't.
Oh... I found this in Monday's PDI. It's from Paulo Coelho's book, "Eleven Minutes." I think it's beautiful:
"Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them. And if nothing belongs to me, there's no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine. It's best to live as if today were the first - or last - day of my life."
Hehe, there. I updated na. I have to go do my Lab paper and applications now. And hopefully my interaction reflection paper.
* Tuesday, October 7 *
The interaction was... okay. Hehe, we're all kilig for Yla.
* Wednesday, October 1 *
"That's All"
I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all...
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love even time can't destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

Later.
