Let Your

Hmm. Today was great. Woohoo! Why? For one, Everything was on schedule. Two, I wasn't late! Weee! (You must be thinging: "What a nerd! Talking about organization and punctuality." My reply: "I believe the proper term is OC") Why is that good? Hindi ako sinermon today! Woohoo!

The night before, I told the maid to wake me up at 6:45. And she did. Actually, thrice. But I only woke up when I stared into the clock and finally figured out it said 7:30. Hahaha!

So my dad brought me to CJ's house where Phantom picked us up to bring us to Jolibee. Hahaha! So yeah. Chit-chat chat-chit. A Chinese Laoshi came, and she was soooo kind! Hahaha. Sana she's my laoshi. LOL.

So we rode on over to school where I showed most the Algorithm March. Hahaha. We were about to go to Starbucks until we were halted. Hahaha. We went to the AVR na. We watched Across the Universe.

Ever since Mr. Legs mentioned it, and I read the Juie Taymor book during that memorable FX Night, I've been wanting to see it na. (but not as much as how I wanted to see Juno.) Hahaha. I really liked it. Hahaha. It's kinda heavy though on some parts. Hahaha. Which is good since I like heavy and bad because it was really heavy. Hahaha.

What I really liked about it is that the songs were familiar and really nice. Plus, they were Beatles songs incorporated into a story... which is sort of what I am doing for Bodyworks..... except that I'm using disco songs. Perfect example on how to do it. Hahaha!

Add to that, I got inspiration for my set. Hahaha. Sadly, it might not come alive.

Anyhow, we passed by the H4 corridor to go to the lecture hall.... but the 'gate' to the stairs was closed. So we had to pass underneathe it. Weird new experience. Hahaha!

So we got to the lecture hall... discussing at first. But it got sour... as in REALLY sour. Connect the dots--figuratively and literally. Hahaha! All I know is that I don't know. Wahaha!

After much searching (I found blue, I foound cart-shelves, I found FX stuff---but not the right blue cart-shelves with FX stuff.), I bode farewell and ate lunch. When I finished, the others arrived. When more people came, I had to leave na. Hahaha!

Anyhow, went to tutor. Very sleepy. Got chocolates.

Ate at McDo. The usual.

Went to Yamaha. Grabe, this is the first time I've been here ever since the start of October. Woah. Hahaha. Anyhow, I didn't get rusty... in fact, he checked a piece right away. Hahaha. I can't wait for him to teach me the chords. Hahahaha.

After that, we went to Greenhills. National to get my stuff. And then the grocery. I went to Watson's to get conditioner and soap. Then we went to Ace since I want to start my own dish garden. We eventually didn't buy one. We'll go to farmer's na lang daw. Hahaha!

After, we went to Bridges/Goodwill, and I bought the English comic version of Florante. Hahaha! Then we went to Astrovision and I got: Alicia Keys, Corrine Bailey-Rae and Michael Buble. Kulang na lang ay si Rihanna. Hahaha!

Then home. Hahaha. Bow. Woohoo! On to homework. Hay.

i'm hanging up on you

Report Card, Soc Sci and Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara

Grabe! Woohoo. First honor baby! *does his victory dance* tun-tunnun tun-tunnun! Uh huh! Uh HUH! LOL!

After all that hard work! First honor! Yeah! Hahaha. Here are my grades:

CLE :: 97 OO (from last quarter's 96)
English :: 96 OO (from 97..sayang)
Filipino :: 92 OO (from a 91)
Math :: 97 VV (from a 90) YESSSSSSS!!!! For once, it has the highest score!
Chinese :: 93 VV (from an 88. yeah!)
Science :: 95 OO (from a 97. *sigh*)
Soc Sci :: 94 OO (from a 92. yey!)

I got a pass in Reading Enhancement and an O in advisory. Nakakainis lang talaga si Laoshi at si Mr. Pinlac. Kasi since 1st and 2nd quarter pa, laging V V ang binibigay sa akin. Everything else have spotless O's. So if not for them, I can get a diligence award. *Sigh*

In other news, I have a fugly 0/5 on my Soc Sci check-up. I could've gotten a 1 had I not changed my answer. Anyhow. It's just a check-up. I can still make up for it.

Also, I'm now addicted to Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara. Grabe! Ang ganda. Hahahaha. *ang bulong ni baby, wag iwan ni mommy* Wahaha! It's so sad I only started watching yesterday.

down on skid row.

School and Shang

Anyhow. That's mostly it. I still have some homework to work on. And I am still clueless how I can make triangles and buildings... much less how to deal with them. (Shucks... the movie still has me smiling. Hahaha!)

Today... hmmm. Not much. Mrs. Demegillo isn't so bad now. She's actually funny. Becoming more like Mrs. Lugay except more sarcastic. Hahaha!

As for English class, I just spit out my sonnet. Hahaha. I almost finished it by the end of English ahd I learned the meaning of the word trove right away. (It still makes me wonder how m-w didn't include it in their dictionary) I'm actually getting inspiration from somewhere. And I love it. Hahaha.

Examen was also interesting!

In other news, I dropped dead in bed today. That was around 5 to 5:30. I woke up at around a quarter to nine. Hahaha. That's why I'm still awake. Hahaha!

A day back, I think I've made up for my mistakes last week. Hahaha. I promise. From now on, I'll do better! Hahaha. I really have to take my resolutions more seriously. Hahaha.

What else? Well. I think I did my Filipino orals pretty well. Except for the fact that I was jittering and that I forgot to do my little dance. Hahaha. I think I spoke too fast... although I was really trying to speak fast to be more dynamic. The words just came out wrong with speed. Hahaha!

Saturday was great! Hahaha.

My dad kept trying to wake me up but I just couldn't. So he moved tutor till after lunch.

I woke up for lunch. Went to tutor. Went home. Picked Trisha up from school and went to Shang! Weeee!

It's been a real long time since I've been out so it was a relief to see those escalators again. Hahaha! School has really gotten to me--especially considering feeling like I haven't been in a mall for such a long time when I just went there the Sunday before. Hahaha!

Anyhow, we bought tickets to National Treasure 2. And then we did errands and went around. I also had my picture taken for the passports. I don't like them. Waaa! Hahaha.

So we watched National Treasure. I like it. Hahaha. It was interesting. Hahaha! I love Helen Mirren. Hahaha!

And then we had McDo while bring Trisha home. I love Chicken Nuggets! Weee!

i'm in love with how you feel

at 7:44 PM
Juno

Okay. It's one o'clock in the morning, and it's a school night. But I don't care. Hahaha.

I just finished watching JUNO. Yes, I finally found the movie online. LOL! How was it? Let's just say I still wanna download it.

Grabe. It's beautiful. I've been waiting for this movie to come online ever since Christmas break since I doubt it will ever come to the theaters here. (And if it did, who'd watch with me?) The wait was really worth it. I love the movie. It's now up on my all time faves.

Hahaha. I didn't get much of the comedy 'cause I couldn't bring the volume way up. (or my dad downstairs would wonder why he's listening to a movie.) But I guess it would be great.

The soundtrack was brilliant.... as I had already guessed. I'm gonna buy it if I ever see it in stores... that is, if I see it. (naku... soundtracks.) It was just right for the story. It fit in so well. Hahaha. It was simple yet it was beautiful.

The cinematography, I liked. Hahaha. Galing ng cameraman--but it can be just me and my more modern view of things. LOL. And the directing was great too. I like how there's all of these recurring elements. (like Heroes. lol.)

The acting was great! I loved them all. Hahaha. Ellen Page deserves that Golden Globe nomination. (sadly, she didn't win. waa.) Ang galing din ni Jennifer Garner. Hahaha! And I like the chemistry of Michael Cera with Ellen Page.

The story was... was... beautiful! Haha. (That's the third time I've used that word) Everything just fit in. And it was simple and beautiful and just very... Hahaha! Wow. I really was into the story. I mean. If I took a video of myself, you could see me like in all kinds of facial expressions from kilig to awww to damn to lol to... beautiful! Hahaha.

Watch it! You'll llove it too!

show me how and i will, i'll get out of here

What a

Gee. What a bad way to start the year. LOL. But I can't say I'm not having fun.

Unang linggo pa lang, marami na akong atraso kay Laoshi. Yikes! I fell asleep on our first three meetings. Today naman, I didn't write down the homework since I thought it was just oral. (CHA~AARLES!)

Sadly, I've failed two out of the 4 math quizzes. Waaa! The first one I failed was just "wrong copy." It's just one stroke that made that negative a positive. Waaa!

Our fair booth is turning bad.... little children do not care about Havaianas and Starbucks gift certificates. But it's gon'na turn out right... ... ...hopefully.

On the other hand: Script! Script! Script! I'm so excited for the Bodyworks. I'm beginning to like my job. LOL. I enjoy the old songs and the dances they'll have to do! Hahaha. That's our unique thing. I'm just afraid our topic isn't suitable for children ages 4-7 (or was that grades 4-7?): Marijuana and its effects on the Nervous System. LOL. One other thing: I don't know a thing about the nervous system. Ack!

These past few days, I've been making a lot of paper stuff. It all began because of Mrs. Lugay and her Origami seatwork. So I've been trying to find out how to make a snowflake ever since. Now, I have 2 models. Add to that, the 3D stars, the crown and the people holding hands. LOL!

FX naman, I'm really in prod. Woohoo! Sad for Stacey though... he lost the chance. Had he known we weren't doing Serapio, he could've taken up that offer. But at least I know he really does care for prod. AWWW! Hahaha! Anyhow, I'm so happy with the clown pairing and for Allen getting his role. LOL!

So I've moved department. I'm now on puppets and lights. I find that the set will be quite complicated, so I'll leave that with the cousins... but i'll help of course... I promised eh. Haha! I didn't realy like puppetry before. But since they're not that hard now, I want na. Hahaha!

Back to School, Scripts, etc.

*sigh* Back at school. Hahaha. I was not in the mood for it, actually. Usually, when the break ends, I'd be packing my things already kind of excited to see my classmates and friends. This one's different. I just slacked off watching TV. Only at around 12 did I realize I had to wake up early, so I crammed packing. I was having too much fun, and our break was too short. The most bitin ever.

That night, I couldn't sleep. I still had my Christmas insomnia--something I developed over the break. I was in bed by 12:30. Being in bed doesn't mean being asleep. I was jsut there. Bored. Not asleep--trying to though.

At around 2:30 I decided to take a snack , and into the blinding light, I made a sandwich. I would have had some pandesal, keso de bola and Christmas ham. But I couldn't find the Christmas ham--but I found the meat for beef steak, tilapia and the Christmas ham sauce. I would've cut the keso de bola but it was too hard and too messy. So I settled with the pepperoni that was lying around. Took some normal cheese and pandesal. Hahaha!

I finally fell asleep at around 3. And woke up at 6. Bad start: I thought the school bus already took my green envelope. I was mistaken... good thing we didn't need the contents. Hihi.

If I had a bad start, I had a bad ending: the school bus left me. I was already at gate 4. Waiting for the school bus. I regularly took trips to the real gate and see if it was there. When it finally came, I went back to my seat. Fixed my stuff. Talked a bit more. When I was about to go out. Poof! It's gone. Dammit! It's a good thing the van was still at the office. *phew!*

Today was fine. I finally got the Step Up CD! Wow! Thanks sobra, Jer!

Filipino class, I took the time in the library to grab a book on some plays. Just my luck. I found 21 scripts by Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero. Yeah... the writer of Condemned. So far, I've found 3 good scripts to present tomorrow. Hahaha!

In other news, it' script, script, script time! LOL! We've gotta make a script for Filipino. For a movie about Balagtas's life. Ang galing ng title namin. ROMANSA: Ang Pag-ibig sa Likod ng mga Tula. LOL!

In Science, I've been made scriptwriter for our bodyworks. Mr.Q kasi! No one volunteereed so he said... "Stage FX!" Pangalan ko ang lumitaw. Hay! Lapit ngang naging director... He said, "Luis, ulit!" Sumigaw-sigaw ako: "NO! NO! NO! NO!" LOL! Hahaha. I don't want to direct another class production. Ayoko! With no one working and everyone complaining about staying late but still doing nothing. Gusto ko lang i-direct na class prod: radio play. Hahaha.

Crazy thing. Right after Computer class, I accompanied CJ since he lost his library card and needed to borrow a book with scripts. He took one of the books. Opened it. Browsed. Closed it and poof. Dust spread everywhere. LOL! We looked and it was only borrowed thrice. The last time was 1982. Woah! No wonder it was dusty.

Breaking the chronological order, this is computer class: it was scary. Mrs. Demegillo was scary! Hahaha. Period. But she did commend me for making a nice newsletter. Weee!

Breaking the chronological order even more: I finally went to the doctor's last Sunday.

After going to Mass early (a first this year not counting New Year's!), we went to Shang. There was Healthway there. So we checked it out. The doctor gave me some antibiotics. And I am finally feeling better now. LOL!

Anyhow, that's it. Gotta go back to homework.

Home and 2008

I'm back home. Finally. Haha!

I came back Friday evening. Trisha came along and slept here too. We played Clue. Watched KKK. and then Licence to Marry. Weird... puro wedding movies. Today naman, doctor's appointment was cancelled. So I joined Trisha in the dentist. We stayed for deathly long hours in Tito Cesar's. And then we ate at Burger King... yumm!

I came home and slept. Woke up. Ate dinner. And I just finished watching PBB Big Night (Congrats, Ruben!) while playing Tong-its with the maids. Hahaha!

2008 is my year. I just know it.

For some reason, there's something inside me saying it's going to be BIG! Wahaha!

Anyhow, here are my New Year's resolutions.

  • I will sleep earlier. GULP! I've already been violating!
  • I will exercise regularly. hmmm... try!
  • I will not be lazy to do my rituals. what rituals? guess!
  • I will sit straight. ayoko maging kuba! let's start during Mass.
  • I will take a bath faster. hmmm.
  • I will go to Mass earlier. mostly because of above.
  • I will save water. let's save the earth!

I hope I follow it. LOL!

hello!

i'm using a mac right now. stupid. there aren't any options that allow me to change fonts, add smileys or whatever. as you can see, i don't even have a moodie. or maybe i just dunno how to use it. hahaha!

if you haven't noticed. there have been no online signs from me these past few days. why? i'm here in ayala. and i still am. im staying here in my cousin's house with trisha and the babies. hehehe.

it's been way cool ever since. sige. kwento na.

i came here wednesday afternoon. i was slumbering on my bed till around 11 when somebody woke me up. turns out kuys ricky is picking me up to eat out. then, im sleeping in his house. siya na rin daw ang dadala sa akin sa corinthians. until thurs lang stay ko dapat.

anyhow, he came and then we ate lunch at mcdo. hahaha. quarter pounder. yummm.... then he dropped us off at ayala na while he went off to play golf. well, we watched john tucker out of trisha's choice. but before that, there was mayhem since we didn't know how to operate the damn tv. after like 15 mins of trying to put it to av1 instead of tv, we started watching.

hmmm.... the movie was okay i guess. hahaha. kinda funny. but the ending wasnt all that nice. hahaha.

then we played with the babies! hahaha. at around 7, we got picked up to eat at dencio's. that's kuya, ate kaye, me and trisha. kasama na riyan ang mga kaibigan nila. hahaha.

so we ate dinner. and then they started to drink. so that we can try, kuya gave us some drinks. hahaha! una, ate kaye picked for us. so she got white russian. it's a mixture of gin/rhum with chocolate syru and milk if i'm not mistaken. hahaha. it came.... trisha and i had sour faces after the first sip. yuck! it tasted like robitussin. to trisha, mucosolvan. ugh.

anyhow, we had to finish it since sayang... it's 130 a glass. buti na lang the glass was small. and so was the serving. ate kaye talaga. hahaha. anyhow, kuya would get us a new drink daw later. hahaha. so i finished it after much ice, mix, ice, mix, stir, mix, ice, melt ice, stir, mix. lol!

when trisha was done...i finished earlier, kuya got us a zombie. something like cherry juice and alcohol. the hit's supposedly stronger. hahaha. anyhow, it tasted good! hahahaha. better than robitussin. haha!

anyhow, while drinking, i found myself going to the bathroom a lot to take a piss. when i started getting hot, i kept washing my face na rin. what do i mean getting hot? my face was like heating up. so was my neck. as in sobrang mainit. para bang nagka-fever. haahaha!

unluckily for trisha, she threw up. buti na lang she had "veterans." ate iya had mouth wash. ate kaye had wet ones, hand sanitizer and something else. ahahaha!

anyhow, i didn't throw up. woohoo. hahaha. i also barely turned red. lol. however, i started to feel the buzz and got real dizzy at one point. so i stopped drinking. hahaha. lol.

anyhow, we went home real late. trisha and i played rummikub. and then we slept.

next day, we had the ultimate brunch. sobrang sarap. sausage, egg, pancakes and bacon. hahaha. well, we left lunchtime. when we arrived at corinthians ad kuya didnt ask for directions at the gate so we got lost trying to find francisco street. haha!

anyhow, i got to phantom's house. we played wii. weee! and then we watched evita na. hahaha. we ate merienda to take a break. and then we watched sweeney todd since chicago wasn't working.

evita was great. it got confusing at the start though. hahaha. sweeney todd was cool! hahaha. but i didn't get to finish it since we had to leave.

anyhow, kuya picked me up to extend my stay at their house. hahaha. we went to greenills. bought stuff. kfc. went home. the car ride was fun coz we told cell phone jokes. this one's my favorite:

kapag may kinakasal, lagi akong tinutukso ni lola. "uyy. susunod na siya!"
tumigil lang siya nung may dumaan na patay sabi ko, "uyy. susunod na siya!"
pinalo ako.

and then after changing, we played monopoly. hahaha. it was me vs. trisha vs. kuya+ate. hahaha. they lost. trisha and i won when we formed a merger. lol!! merger?!?! hahaha

and then they slept na. trisha and i watched weird science then played rummikub again. hahaha! we went to sleep at around 4:30. but finally went to sleep 30 mins before 6 since trisha kept on talking. hahaha!

anyhow. woke up today at 3. hahaha. ate lunch-merienda. (lunchenda?) and i took a bath. i got scared since i had red spots all over my neck, chest and stomach... it's gone now. hahaha!

well. no more. sorry if it's kinda long. im bored eh. wala magawa since trisha is in the bathroom right now and there's nothing to watch. i miss blogging na rin. hahaha.

New Year

Weee. Hahaha. 2008 na!

I loved New Year's Eve. So we heard Mass first. They had these little girls doing liturgical dances. I didn't find their tambourines anything appealing. It was at that time that I thought of my New YEar's resolutions. Hahaha.

We then went to Ayala. Played with Alex. Went out. Ate MnMs. Mmmm... and then we watched the neighbor's fireworks. Hahaha. Para ang wala kami. LOL!

Aside from that, we were also waiting for Ai-ai to come out! Hahaha! They were already starting up their firworks, and we could hear her voice na. But we still didn't see her. It was when we took pictures when she went on the street and started sweeping. LOL!

Come quarter to 12, we started ours. When Kuya was lighting it up, Ai-ai shouted: "Hello Neighbors! Happy New Year!" LOL! Haahaha.

Well, we lit ours up. The first few were... ugh. Hahaha. But it was all good. Pero wala pa ring tatalbog doon kay Ai-ai. Hahaha! (Posted here) Ganda sobra! I didn't catch the starting part though. That was the more beautiful one. May sparkle-sparkle pa eh. Haha!

Most of the time, i was taking videos of the fireworks. Mag-request na lang if you wanna see it... but I doubt you would if you enjoyed your New Year's celebration. Hahaha! Crazy thing was I got hit by the fireworks. LOL. I was just taking a video when from the sky fell somekind of hot thing. Hahaha! Grabe! Na-shock ako! LOL!!! Next time, I want an umbrella. Haha!

Anyhow. We ate food... which was DELICIOUS! And then we watched YouTube videos. Hahaha! We finished mga 2:30 na. Hahaha.

Well, I'd do some reflecting on 007, but tinatamad ako! Hahaha. Happy 2008!
