So How WAS It?

First Perio.
Done.
First Battle.
Well fought?
Perhaps.

Grabe! Our First Quarterly Exams(term pa yan sa Mary's :D) in Third Year were all unexpected (except for English and AP and Filipino)... It's not the type of conventional tests given to you na kahit hindi ako nakakapag-aral ng matindihan, nakakapasa ako... Iba talaga 'to e.

First Day

In preparation for the first day perio subjects, I slept at 2:30, then woke up at 7. Then slept again by 8:30 and then woke up 2:30 in the morning. Tuluy-tuloy na yun hanggang 5! I don't usually sacrifice sleep para lang sa kahit na anong test, because what I usually did is wake up for 2 hours in the morning, then sleep ulit. Bahala na kung may pumasok sa isip ko or wala. But some kind of hunch reached the inner me, urging my mind to study and sacrificing my routine of 8-hour sleeping.

Chemistry
Utang na loob. Ayaw ko na grabe. Ambaba nung score ko. Well, sa bagay hindi naman ako nag-aral ng mabuti dito e. 45 minutes. Pwede na rin...

Filipino
The usual. Division office. Kakalito. Kala mo walang sagot. Ano nga ba ang panandang pandiskurso?

Trigonometry
Gosh. Saddist ang test. Antindi magbigay ng test ni Sir Mensa.
Think of this... Whenever we have quizzes, we are given 45 minutes to answer the quiz(usually 20 items, if not 15 or 10). Pero yung perio, 40 items (salamat sa correction Ella), and twice the sweat.

MAPEH
The long test was, as said by Jolo, "The hardest MAPEH long test in the History". So Ma'am Hermano said (siguro para gumaan ang loob namin), if we passed her long test, then we will pass her perio because the perio is much easier than the long test. But was it true? I don't think so...

Second Day

Gising ulit ng madaling araw. Pero mga 6 na ako natulog. Dahil dun, mga 1 ako gumising...

English
Common, pero mahirap pa rin. The usual English with the Comprehension part and the Grammar part. Speaking of the grammar part... Super nakakahiya talaga... I didn't notice na magkaiba ang complements sa compliments. Puyat ba ito o nalimutan ko lang dahil sa pagkabisaya ko?

Physics
Para ata akong aatakihin ng pagsusuka dahil hindi kinaya ng ulcer ko yung hirap ng p6 e. Super hirap. Number 1 pa lang... Naalala ko tuloy si Jam, sabi niya akala niya siya lang daw nahihirapan sa p6 kasi wala daw nagrereact na mahirap. Nung nagbreak na,,, dun na lumabas ang lahat... =x

Research
Shocking ang research. Well well well... You just have to (1) answer 15 items of identification, (2) answer 7 items of labeling (3) make an EDD (Experimental Design Diagram) (4) analyze 2/3 statments and answer the questions (5) analyze and make a graph (6) make a table and a graph (7) answer another set of identification questions (7) enumerate some things all in one hour. May nakatapos ba? Ako, pero tinapos kong mali mali ang sagot ko. Tsktsktsk...

Advanced Statistics
Ok sana ang Ad Stat, kaya lang pati ba naman ito NO ERASURES. Chem, Fil, MAPEH, Physics, Research walang erasures tapos pati ito... Haayy... Ang masama, nakalimutan ko pa kunin ang median class... Nung nalaman ko, wala na. No erasures kaya...

Last Day

Wala. 1 hour 30 mins ko lang 'inaral' yung three subjects. Naalala ko kasi, yung Bio dati, hindi ko naman natapos aralin yung buong third quarter pero pumasa naman ako... E di subukan ulit. Isa pa, sumasang-ayon ako sa statement ni Raniel. Sabi niya kasi gusto niya na daw matapos ang araw na yun. Ako naman, pinapatapos ko ng maaga sa pamamagitan ng hindi 'pag-aaral' ng matindihan. Nakakatuwa pa nga e, si Jao at Jazz (kambal), nanood rin pala ng Olympics. So nagkuwentuhan pa kami tungkol sa parallel at high bar(s) [Ang galing ni Uchimura!].

AP
Ansaya. Hindi ako nag-aral. Ang aral ko sa school na. 30 min minus 5 min sa washroom, 5 min sa pakikipagkwentuhan tungkol sa Olympics, 5 min sa 'pag-iingay' at paglalakad.. So mga 15 min? :D Stock knowledge na lang!

Analytic Geometry
Right after receiving my paper, sinagutan ko kaagad. Nagmamadali pa nga ako e. Sabi kasi nila mahirap. Mahirap dahil matagal at mahirap talaga. Tama nga sila. Ito lang test na hindi ko natapos. Number 2 sa proving. Pero am happy with our test kasi kakaiba. Para kaming sumasagot ng IQ puzzles at isa pa, section lang namin ang naiiba ang test. Sir Chua kasi e. Haha. Salamat sir!

Speech and Drama
Isa pa 'to. Humabol sa no erasures. Pero nung nakiusap ata si Basti, pwede basta minimal lang daw. Mahirap. Lalo na ang intonation. Haha. Yung essay,,, ansaya!

So yun.
Yan ang perio ng kisay.

Pero after ng perio, nagcram pa ang mga professional procrastinators (syempre kasama ako dun diba). AP projct deadline Aug. 15, 2008;12:00 pm... Ayon, unfortunately, napasa namin... :( ['_']

Pero kahit tapos na ang perio... May projects pa rin... Hayy... Ad stat na lang at Research...

P.S. Grabe sobrang Pilipino halos lahat ng ito diba? Syempre buwan ng wika e... :D

Solace in Vigilance

When I was in the second year, I had a small notebook (that of which is a remain of my first year) where I collated poems in English and Filipino. If I remember it well, there were only three people who were able to read a few of my poems. Now, I've decided to post a poem or rather two poems from my notebook. I do not what your reaction would be but we shall see...

The Litany of the Alive

We are all a child
Born by the unity of our mothers and fathers
All of us, given a chance to live
To feel the fulfillment and satisfaction of live
As we grow older we go on to problems
That bring us to melancholy
But woebegone we may be
It is a life we have
A life we should be happy
We always complain to the One Above
And persecute Him for all bad things
That has happened to us
But blame comes first
And we never realize His love for us
The time comes we're near dying
"Without satisfaction, my life was" some people say
But was it His fault? Never.
For in everyone's litany
He was always there, until we die

Paano Nga Ba?

Ni pag-ibig ay wala nang puwang
Dito sa puso't isipang lumbay
Di lamang dahil sa minamahal
Kundi dahil na rin sa mga kasawiang palad

Aking kinukubli lagi
Itong sakit sa aking puso
Di malaman ang gagawin
Ni Apollo'y di makilala


=)

The Pressure is On Again,,, with no one even 'Applying' the Pressure

It's been a long time since I've last posted, and though I hope this 'coming back' of mine should be enjoying,,, it seems not so...

Well, first off, two months have passed and I can really feel that hecking school pressure. But who does put that on me? My mom? My dad? They say no. The teachers? Perhaps. ME? That's the answer. Not just ME, but a mentality that has long been living in ME. The society, the trend, it all makes it.

(anlabo ng first paragraph ko ano,, ako rin nalabuan eh... sinulat ko lang kasi,, para na akong sasabog e.. haha)

One thing is for sure-I do not enjoy my first quarter in third year.
Why?
Am not doing well these days, yet I can't blame anyone or anything (though I wish to blame ******s and C********) but myself. The academe hasn't been in good terms with me right now, and it saddens me a lot. Not because I'm GC, but because I'm not being so GC anymore... [magulo ba,,, ganito kasi yun] When I was in first and second year, I can say I really did my best to excel in school and the fruit was somehow visible. I wanted to see up to what I can do, and up to what extent I can push myself, but now is a different case. Nowadays, I care less about my falling grades and it bothers me. I really do not know what has happened [and what is happening], and up to now, I am still unsure with the paths and actions I should take. I think I need a personal counselor, but since time really is gold in our case, that would be impossible. Good thing the Up Above is ready to catch me when am falling.

Last year, and last last year, I barely studied [for studying for me is reading what is needed to be studied in school just before the teacher arrives]. Now is a different case. I do not know if it's just me, but I am really stressed with all the things we are required to comply to. Lagi ko ngang sinasabi na bugbog na bugbog na ako. Ikaw ba ganun? Is it because of the school I decided to enter, or the section I belong, or the teachers that makes us do many tasks, or is it merely me and no other?

Sa lahat ng tulad ko,,, magkakaramay tayo... Pero naiintindihan niyo ba sinasabi ko? Kung oo, hindi ko alam kung magpapasalamat ba ako o maaawa sa ating mga sarili. Sa mga hindi nakakaintindi pero feeling nila ay makakarelate sila, contact niyo ako, baka nga yun yun. Sa mga hindi nakakaintindi at feeling nila ay hindi nila nararasanan 'yan, CONGRATS!, ang swerte mo...

Though I may want to elaborate these things, I still need some time to collate the scattered thoughts in my mind and the questions that has been screaming in my heart for so long a time...

Sa mga nagbabasa ng blog ko,, haha,, pinapabasa ko kayo ng sapilitan alam ko,, kaya salamat... Share kayo kung ano gusto niyo sabihin kasi, uhm, yun ang purpose ng blog ko, hindi para mang-enganyo na magaling ka sa english or tagalog grammar (obviously, hindi talaga ako magaling diba), pero para maipahiwatig ng malaya ang gusto mong sabihin...

Next time ulit...

School Days again; Time for being a 'Junior'

Seeing past classmates in our batch' orientation day brings up that euphoria again...
A kind of happiness unlike running/jogging...
At last it's time to laugh until your stomach aches... again...

But going back to school isn't good news at all.

• Especially if you knew that your classroom wasn't the one you were expecting. It also has no ventilation yet.
• And your section alone sits in the second floor of the building while the rest of your batch doesn't.
• Then, because you're already a Junior, you'll take up all those goosebumps Math subjects namely Chemistry, Physics (which are Science subjects but strong skills in computation is needed), Statistics, Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry.
  
• And because of Analytic Geometry you won't have a chance to take your dream Biochemistry, Zoology or French electives.
• And then your adviser, who comes to be your Chemistry teacher, told you not to buy liquid erasers. Why? For they will never be used in your test and activity papers. Never.
• And a lot more haunting things yet to be uncovered. This June 10.

Well, never mind the terror.
Just think of the joy that at least, you were given a chance to study unlike other supposed high school students who are working in the streets, or taking drugs, or are financially inept to study.

Besides, two more years and your going to college.
Then work.
Then you'd get to buy a house.
And a car.
And lots of land.

Oops!
That was too much I think.
Haha.

Well am looking forward to talk to our guidance counselor (she seems to be very warm and hospitable) whenever I need some tips from a pro. Well I really want to know what profession I should take in college and not just rely on baseless things. Hope she's a psychologist :p

God Bless everyone.

Your Learning Style: Competent and Cooperative

You have a great head for facts and figures. You can remember and use any fact you've read. You Should Study: Dentistry Education Environmental Science Finance Nursing Nutrition Science Medicine Law

What Should You Study?

Getting Tanned?

Does summer mean getting tanned?
I think so.

Just this month, I've been into swimming twice already. I don't even know if my fair skin is fair at all. All this swimming got me a more muscular and a little browner [<---- what a word], if not brown at all. But the sad thing is, I still don't know how to swim. Swimming in an Olympic size swimming pool isn't of help at all. I think I really need to have a swimming tutor. How do I look?

Playing Dead.

Am not only up to swimming lately, but jogging busies me too. Well, am not that good a runner, but am doing well. I can jog 4 km straight in just 2 weeks. Slow jogging, though. Mama really was that one who engaged me into running. If it wasn't because of her, maybe the palpitation I feel every (after) summer still continues. I would have been fatter too without any exercise at all. The endorphin make me feel better too. Am even planning to run 10 km by end of 3rd year. What a dream!

Running, or jogging (in my case) makes not only your legs muscular, but also your arms. It tires me when I run with my hands clutched in a jogging position. Before, I thought that if I could have just achieved my rhythm without that arms chest level, I could have felt more ease in running. But seeing the effects of it in the rhythm of my feet, it made me more comfortable.

My running mate... :D

Would you believe if I said that I almost did not want to run in U.P. (University of the Philippines) again? (1) Wouldn't you be traumatized if people saw you fall in the ground while you were jogging? That hecking side canal [it's small and it wasn't wet, don't worry] and the sloping route of the university made me mad. (2) And the pacer I had, oh she made me real tired. 1 km is all the distance I could run with her. (3) Besides, the car we rode in made me uncomfortable. It almost got wrecked because of me. Poor me. Good thing I was saved by the Up Above. Good thing I wasn't lambasted by mama. Poor me, really.

My running pacer. She really made me tired.

That's all for my so physical summer now. I've got to be fit because all those food makes me full. Yum! Ciao!

Remember, Reminisce, Remind

Got this from a best friend...

Hey, you.
If you read this journal,
even if I don't speak to you often,
post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want.
It can be good or bad,
just so long as it happened.

Then post this on your journal.
Be surprised and see what people remember about you.

Hope your reply would be a comment...
Just want to know it...

QCSHS! yeah...

As a dear Scientian, I am somehow obliged to promote my school.
Hope you visit this site some time...

Thanks!

Ordagova? No,,, Avogadro

Avogadro II '07-'08 really is a great pack of students,,, of teens...

Kakatapos lang ng school, kaya kahit gusto ko ang summer e nalulungkot ako.
Ang totoo niyan, kahit gusto ko ng summer, hindi ko na siya minsan gusto 'pag dumating na siya... Hindi ko na kasi nakakasama bf (bestfriend) ko at iba pang friends. Isa pa, napapagalitan lang ako minsan kapag nandito lang sa bahay...

Classmates,,,

kahit ito lang...

Made this just to show how you've affected my life...

Multititled

Yes, multi-titled, because this blog entry is meant to uhm, share 3 stories...

~~~~~~~~~~

NAT
The never ending NAT
Has ended
haha.
Medyo magulo ba.
Oo pansin ko rin e.

The Filipino test was so maligning.
First test, at buena mano, ang saya.
Two-inch long paragraph (don't worry nakacolumns namam e) for 6 questions maximum.
It was hard because of course of the (1) long selections they want us to read, (2) nosebleed questions (the words were so deep,,, we weren't just accustomed with such even in my past school) and (3) because the choices were so close it's hard to choose the right answer. That's why, uhm, I got about 10 minutes of it sleeping... It was just so boring...

The Algebra test was alright.
Well, I am satisfied with the score I got. Besides, I learned to master Algebra now than last year that's why it was easier to answer all those 60 questions... I just really did not like Algebra last year...

English test-great. But I did not get a high score really.
Yes, it was ok, and much easier, compared to those reading comprehension tests, subject-verb agreement practices and verb tenses excersises we had which were harder than the NAT Test.

Bio-o-bio.
Good thing we studied almost,,, 95% of it or else...

AP. Almost Perfect?! No not of course.
Paulit-ulit na pagsagot sa mga review questions... Sino ba namang hindi maririndi doon? Lalo na pag nakita mo muli ang mga letrang iyon sa NAT test diba? Diba?

~~~~~~~~~~

PERIO

After the NAT Test, we were given this one day review in preparation for our periodic test. Muli na namang umatake si katamaran at hindi na naman ako nakapag-aral ng mabuti. Ang kinalabasan,,, abangan sa susunod na kabanata... Corny sorry...

ICT
Computer
I remember those days,,, those happy days,,, kung saan kailangan lang namin alamin ang MS Word at MS Powerpoint... As I reminisce those days, nakakalimutan ko na lang kung gaano kahirap ang ICT ngayon.. Sa wakas,, sa wakas na rin naman talaga yun kasi wala nang ICT next year. Yehey!

MAPEH
Boom!
Sabi ko sa'yo hindi ako masyado nakapag-aral ng mabuti diba. Mapeh talaga yung prob ko. Paano,,, hindi ko na binasa ang PE and Music and Art parts... Buti na lang may kaunting alam sa Soccer,,, at nandiyan si Beshie for Football... Sa PE lang yun... Yung iba,,, bahala na si Batman.

ENGLISH
Ohhh!
The teachers jauntily made the test that the students pusillanimously approached it.
There you go,,, jauntily and pusillanimously...
2 sample words of those many vocabulary words that popped out in our test papers. I don't even know if that was really a test meant for 2nd year high schools... Maybe it was for 2nd year College students...

BIOTEK!
40 items
multiple choice
Nag-aral ka ng sobra? Perfect mo
Nag-aral ka? Mataas ka
Nagbrowse ka? Makakapasa ka
Tiningnan ang hand outs for 5 min? Mag-orasyon ka na
Hindi ka nag-aral? Good luck...
Matindi talaga magpamulitple choice si Ma'am. Pero wala ring tatalo sa kabaitan niya...

~~~~~~~~~

I've been thinking of a relevant topic that all people (well there are a few) who are reading and would hopefully read this blog can connect to. I noticed that most of my blog entries are school related and I do not want it to be so.
And I thought of a topic by now.

LOVE

Teenage love.
Puppy love.
Kunwari love.
Chuva love.
Love na love.
Labadabadoo.

In my age right now, it is but normal to have admirations to the opposite sex. Though many people in our, uhm, batch I must say (but correct me if I am wrong; I must stand corrected then) think that we are antisocial and not normal, we are not so. We may excel in academics but that does not mean we don't feel anymore.

Many times I here people say, "Kasi yung friend ko may gusto siyang friend niya, ano dapat niyang gawin?". Ngunit ang totoo, pilit itinatago sa codename na 'friend' ang sariling pagkatao.
So I have some questions to ask you, whoever you are, reading this blog.

1. Bakit kaya nahihirapan ang mga tao na magpakatotoo sa usaping pag-ibig?
2. Bakit ang daming nalulungkot dahil sa yun ulit?
3. Sa mga nabroken heart na, masakit ba talaga?

I wanted to write more,,, but I think I should cut this entry here... It's just too long...

~~~~~~~~~

Sorry kung medyo putul-putol pagkakasulat ko...
As I said earlier,, this entry is 3-in-1
Thank you for reading this...
At least hindi na siya lalangawin diba...
May nagbasa na e...
:]

Week of [One and A?] Halves

It's been a while since I updated this blog.
Well, that's because nothing much happened this past few days.
But now, well...

This article is supposed to be telling what only happened on Feb 16 but I think it wouldn't be right to make no article for Feb 14, uhm, a much celebrated day. So although I don't like to make one, here it is..

V-DAY, FEB 14

"It's a special day for most of you, but not for a few of us..."
V-day wasn't that special to me.

Hmmm. Well, nothing special happened to me; but to my other classmates there were. Flowers and heart-shaped balloon giving, chocolate and gift sharing, and telling feelings of so called 'puppy love' was the scenario in the school that Thursday. I was happy seeing one of my classmates receive a lot of presents from her suitors. Haha. Well, she's definitely a heartthrob.

Was I disappointed for having a not-so-special Valentine's day?
I dunno..
Maybe?! I am but happy for them though,,,

VERSACE BOY's DAY, FEB 16

I was really looking forward to see my 2 (super talino,,, oops,,) bestfriends that I haven't seen for so long a time. Good thing it was Versace boy's bday (let's protect his privacy by giving him the name Igi) so we had some time to meet with them.

This day was long planned, so although I had some commitments to consider, I still had this day prioritized for my friends.

Trinoma was the meeting place-but was it that easy?
Na-ah.

It took me, us, about an hour and a half before we ate. At around 11:30, I arrived at my assigned 'vantage point' to start the hunting of my best friend I so long to see. There was no other choice to see him but to follow the Amazing Race game. It was fun experience for me, but my other best friends seem not to like it, though. After that hour and a half of surveying trinoma, we, at last saw him and then ate in Yellow Cab. We had some talk while eating, reminiscing all those happy moments when we were in grade school. It was a really nice, seeing them again, seeing my dear friends...

We planned to watch 27 Dresses, but unfortunately, when we went up to see Trinoma's Cinema, the movie ain't showing anymore. That brought us crossing the road and entering the doors of SM. Unfortunately, 27 Dresses isn't showing there too. Pity us. By that we decided watching National Treasure, a really great movie. But before we watched, we had our tradition done-"group pic" in Kodak I think. Then we ate cake to show that it really was a birthday celebration.

It may just be a day and a half, but being with them was really great.
That was the best Saturday I have had so far.
As evidence, I would like to quote what bday boy Igi said:
"Fun is an understatement of what happened today."

I love you guys!

P.S. Hoping to have a better Valentine's Day next year... Wishing to be with my best friends forever... Whoever you are reading this post, keep your heart beating...

Beauty of Numbers

Lately, our Algebra and Geometry class are not attended by teachers. Good ain't it?
That is because an ongoing 'Mathematics Week' is celebrated in school [I don't feel it though]. Well, because of the said 'celebration', our teachers in the 2 Math subjects are busy that they don't have time to meet us anymore. Thus, the only way they can make us busy is thru give seat works.

Now, I want to share to you a language that the Avogadro '10 devised...

7 February 2008

ALGEBRA

Our classmate who's really good in Mathematics, was I think [correct me if I'm mistaken], tasked to teach us the lesson on Geometric Progression and facilitate the seat work in the subject. So, we had the usual answering and we were so makulit na naaawa na ako kay Aaron sa kakatanong namin at kakaplead namin sa kanya na huwag na lang sagutan yung ilang numbers [lagot!!!] sa ituturo niya. Noise, Discussion, Comparing of Answers.
Comparing of Answers.
Now, of course we ain't sure of the answers in the questions lalo na kung yung number na nakuha mong sagot is non-terminating decimal or super weird na number in fraction form. Ngayon, may isa akong classmate na nag-ask: "Maganda ba sagot mo sa number ... [I think it's 1e,,, am not sure]?". Ngayon super natuwa kami dun kaya nung Goem...

GEOMETRY

Another seat work. Boring.
Well, hindi naman masyado boring, kasi, maingay pa rin naman sa room, and the noise that we make is actually an assurance na walang teacher sa classroom. So, again, just like Algebra, counter- checking of answers is but normal. I wasn't really sure with our [it's a pair work] answers that's why I asked my other classmate on their answers. I didn't want to ask my partner because he was playing, but, it's ok, 'cause he already did his part and I think it's but normal for boys to play games. Now, I asked my classmate: "Maganda ba yung sagot sa number 2a?", "Maganda? Ah. Hindi e, fraction kasi.". Now, because of the maganda issue of numbers is already laid, we designed a system in classifying the beauty of numbers. Here it goes:

Maganda : Integer or Number na up to 1 decimal place lang

May hitsura: Fraction that when reduced, may form a terminating number [more than 1 decimal place]; may also apply to fraction-convertible non-terminating repeating decimals

Pangit/panget: A really weird fraction or number that when reduced to integral form will result to a non-terminating decimal

We are weird, aren't we?
But still, we aren't outcasts, because we are still people living the standards of the norms...

Day and A Half

Bad Day. Monday. February 4. Bad Day. Bad Day.

Usual Monday for them, but not for me.

It was a somehow cold (well from my point of view) sunny morning and again, the Scientian community fulfills its obligation of attending the flag ceremony. So, with Jam and my other classmates, we went to the covered court and did the Monday morning 'rituals' of QueSci.

Weird, though, it was. Pano kasi, ako lang ang nag-iisang nakajacket or whatever you call that thing... Palibhasa, may sakit kasi ako,,, dahil sa sobrang kagustuhan kong pumasok sa school at huwag makamiss ng class e tuloy pa rin sa school...

English. First Subject.

I was feeling ok pa... We had the occasional answering of activities in the book... Checking... Short discussion... at ang kailanmang hindi mamamatay na tawanan... If you are lonely and want some drops of happiness,,, then sit in my chair and you'll find a dose of cure to that lone sickness of yours. Kung katabi mo ba naman sa kaliwa si *a*** este Jolo, sa kanan si Basti, sa likod si J.V. (Timi,,, that's how they call him) at si *e*** este Alvin [dapat mag-ingat sa spelling,,, malalagot na ako] tapos dagdag mo pa si Jam, Morillo at si Ivan na laging inaaway ni Czarina, ewan ko lang kung may puwang pa ang kalungkutan sa iyong puso...

Next subject, Algebra, YEHEY!!

Algebra=Math=Hardship=Pain=Nosebleed
Pero, not that much if you're with Sir Estacio. We not only discuss Algebra, but we also tackle Physics, Theology, Philosophy, Chemistry, History and even Filipino. That's why I was looking forward to a good subject that day and I was happy because we had Theology.

But I can't resist it anymore,,,
My headache got worse, after those laughing moments nung English time,,, I was hotter too, kahit sabi nila na hindi ako masyadong mainit,, pero malamig kasi akong tao e, kaya kaunting init lang, yun na yun. So I took a tablet of medicine hoping that I would feel better. Hoping.

Good thing, wala si Ma'am Moreno, walang Fil. I texted mama that I can't take it anymore, and I want to rest na. Yet I was unable to rest. Small Group sa Fil. Big Group sa Fil. Group 2 sa AP. Too many discussions to make that the spare time we had because of Ma'am Moreno being absent was not a spare time at all. Well, at least may nagawa naman kami kahit papaano. Yun nga lang, sa small group sa fil lang,,, haha.

Lunch.
Biotech. Yes. Incubus. S***nism <----bad yan. Masaya discussion ng last parts na... :p ICT. Mama texted me. She'll fetch me soon. Kung kailan ayos na ako, nu ba naman yan... Still, I went home with her, because although am feeling better, am still sick. Still ill. So I bid farewell to my teacher [thanks Ma'am Tayamora], to Berna [because she's the class secretary and she may need to record what had happened], and to some of my classmates who I think were concerned [Felice, Jam, Ella, Rei, etc.]... :) These filthy rashes,, headache,, fever... Hate it...
Now, am getting an absence,,, 1 and 1/2 day,,, heck..

Well at least, I got time to rest.
Well at least, I was able to realize that I've been so busy these days and am not a machine nor robot.
Besides, I've made a blog because of this sickness.

:-]

This is my first blog,,,
Hope you visit it,,
Feel free,
