rhapsody royally.

THE DAY: Morning Prayer, Romeo and Tulo

Okay... so I have a lot of stuff lined up for me right now. Chinese MT. Science Quiz. Homework. Other shit. But I'll set that aside for now.

When the year started, I said that 2008 is my year. I'd just like to confirm. Hahaha! Last Wednesday, February 27, is the first of the
"THE DAY"s It was THE DAY! Wooohoo.

Alright. Let's start with the morning. Assembly. I had to do the prayer, which was assigned to me as "punishment" daw. Hahaha. It's in Tagalog by the way. I screwed it up a bit. I lacked a bit of life and I still sounded foreign. But that's alright. I did it well enough and Ms. Martinez was really happy so I'm happy na rin. Woohoo!

Skip what's after that. Anyhow, today was the day of the Romeo balcony speech elocution contest. Well, after my 99, Mr. Perez recommended me to audition as class rep. I was chosen (after a horrible audition)... which made me dead pressured. I wanted to do it... but I didn't want to at the same time. Some kind of pressure got over me and made me really nervous starting from the ride home the night before. It only got worse as the minutes progressed. I really got nervous.

I want to admit. I was not the least bit nervous for the oral test... one of the reasons I didn't practice before my turn. But this contest really had me dead scared. However, once I entered the lecture hall, it all disappeared. There's some magic about the hall that took most of my fears away. I was still nervous... but not scared na.

Anyhow, after wearing my costume and went backstage. I saw Juliet... ang ganda niya. Her name is Ms. Amelia Marcelina. Hahaha. And then she noticed me and said, "good luck." Hahaha. I replied thanks. And then I asked Charles, CJ, Kim and Mark about my costume. Hahaha. Ayos na ba? Pantay na ba? Tatanggalin ko pa ba toh?

So yes. The contestants got me scared. I was number 4 pero number 1 pa lang was very good. (Syempre, same critic eye pa rin.) So I got more nervous. It reminded me sooo much of my failed Filipino extemporaeneous speech contest (about cell phones). Nightmares! Hahaha.

Anyhow, number 3, Javi was on, and he entered from the back! DAMN! That ruined my blocking. The night before kasi during FX practice, I was pseudo-blocking na. Come from the back and pass through the left aisle. So I went oh well.

So after a few more of his words, I went out na to the backdoor. Mrs.O wished me good luck. So I went inside the lecture hall, behind the backdoor curtains. They called my name. Took a few seconds for me to come out so that they can wonder where the hell I am and so that I can shove my nervousness away and get into character. (I almost forgot to take off my glasses.)

Then I ran in. Woohoo! That was it...I started out dynamic and then went slower to add more seriousness and make it more romantic. Hahaha. What I remember. I went in. Leaned on the last row. Took a look at the stage, went low and then back up. Smiling, I ran down to past halfway pillar. Exclaimed! And then next pillar and then in front of the stage stairs. Then on the stage na. (wow memorize.)

While doing it, I was energized. Why? My entrance got some kind of weird reaction from the people, which sparked something into me. Hahaha. When I finally finished, I ran backstage but was called back. I guess from all the excitement, I didn't hear their interview questions. The first one I heard was Where's u get ur gimmick? I was like what the hell is a gimmick... so I answered nothing or something like that. I dind't hear but Kim and Germs say that they asked Where'd I get my costume.

I'd like to thank Charles Lim for my cape and gloves and the Stage FX bodega for my polo and vest. And to CJ Francisco for making recommendations. Hahaha!

Anyhow. When I went backstage again, all my nervousness disappeared. I was at peace na and that was good. And I smiled... in my opinion, my performance was beautiful... I had voice problems though...couldn't be heard from the back...and when I was done I felt like I was shouting. Anyhow, whatever. I was satisfied.

What really made me happy was the interview portion after the 5th contestant. They interviewed Juliet. Who's your favorite Romeo? "I like Marcelo." With an accent. Hahaha. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, I can lose na! Hahaha. So yes, the costume helped a lot. Hahaha!

Anyhow, with all the drama shoved aside, the same critic looked at the contestants. I found Ramon's and Flint's one of the ones to beat. Ramon... made it funny, I didn't like how he did it that much since it became really modern and kinda... i dunno... but then I got a liking to it. Wow, it's the best actor of grade seven. Flint's was really, really, really good! Ang lakas ng mga emotions, ng acting, ng paggalaw. But his voice was sobrang shit! Hahaha. I was already thinking to myself, I can only lose to them.

After a long, long, long time. The results were announced. I was tied with Ramon King! Hahaha. 2ND PLACE!! Woohoo! Yeah baby! Okay na okay na okay sa akin ang second place.

What was a shocker to me... (I can't accept defeat? Hahaha!) is that Tim won. Honestly and in all frankness, I didn't see anything special about his performance. No offense meant, just stating my opinion. I wish Flint had placed though. (Tangco took the last spot placing third.)

Anyhow, I'm happy na. After this, kodakan with Juliet! Hahaha! (see the album. i wish i gave my camera to someone while i was performing.)

Okay so Tulo. Yes! Part three of my THE DAY! Hahaha.

We've never had a single FULL run. The practice the night before was HELL! And I was never able to get a hand of handling the Elephant. I still lacked life for the Deus practice. The set was jsut recently changed for Oli. And to add to all that, I had to leave early pa.

And then we crammed the final sequence just the afternoon before the show. Grabe. I was scared to hell. Paano na? Paano na? But I just kept positive. By this time, all of the nervousness never returned... weirdly. I only felt a little scared mostly because I kept thinking positive and because my character called for me to be really really perky!

Anyhow, it went soooo much better than before! Deus did well enough and I'm very relieved about that. Kahit na last minute ang casting ko at kakaunti ang practice dahil na-ground nga ako, I feel more at ease.

I am very proud of the play that's most closest to me--Oli. Ang galing galing galing! VERY PROUD! Lalo na kay Geremy. Hit ang kanyang debut! Hahaha. It was really splendid! It was funny and it also got the deep message across so I really liked it. (syempre ba naman, this play is the closest to me, bakit di ako masisiyahan/mabi-bias? hihihi)

And elephant. This is the most last minute casting part. Hahha. I really had no idea what I was doing it. Hahhaa. But it turned out well. The awe of the audience was the thing that really hit me. So I'm very happy working under the covers of this one. Literally.

And finally... Bohemian went well enough. I screwed up a bit but it was okay. Enjoy pa rin.

Grabe, ang saya that was all over the stage by the end of the show. hahaha! FX LOVE! One of the minor reasons why being in FX is the best... the HIGH! Woohoo. I'm really really happy now for Germs and Allen.

When we went outside daming tao! They were all really, really lively... mukhang enjoy na enjoy. Personally, compared to Duwa and Chocolate War, the crowd was never as lively as this. Sobrang buzz na buzz. Hahaha! (But Duwa's high was much higher than TULO. TULO beat Chocolate War though. Hahaha!)

I got some comments... cute ko daw. I got so happy. Ibig sabihin I did well enough. I know I can do better but at least it was believable enough for the audience. But i was mosst happy everytime hinahanap/cino-comment si Geremy. Sobrang saya ko sa performance niya! Ang galing! Hahaha! Uyy! Star ka na... Little Big Star (accdg to Mr. Yu)

Anyhow. Dinner. Fixing up. Hahaha. I was able to catch David Archuleta's performance. GALING! Hahaha. UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! Go Pinoy! Ramiele's was quite bad though... in fact, not a single girl wowed me tonight.

Grabe. This was THE DAY. Amen! Alright, 2008!

PE, Academics, Career Fair, Elections and Assembly

Before I start with the real topic, here's some unrelated news about academics.

We had our second Practical Test in PE. Honestly, this is the best PE I've been to. Hahaha. I'm so happy because Ms. Raya knows my name unliek other people. Wohoo! Hahaha. Anyhow, I had my "kodigo" of exercises so it wasn't too hard. I even helped others. And she knows I know the exercises. Wohoo!

As for the LTs. I almost got perfect (with incentive) in Science! I just needed two points. Waaa! Chinese: line of 9! Yeah! Also, for the oral test which was a video--drama and toursm video--she liked my performance so that's another high score. English: almost perfect din! Waaa! Hopefully, Mr. Perez accepts my considerations. Hahaha.

However, my math and soc sci scores are really low. I need to bring them up. Waaa!

So here's the real story: Career Fair. One wednesday afternoon, right after the boring Caliraya orientation, I went to Mr. Young. Instead of having Peer Faci, we'll be servants daw to the speakers of the H3 Career Fair, as such, we can sit in daw. Hahahaha.

So I did sit in. After delivering water with ehem to the different speakers, i was escorted into the Performing Arts room since nahihiya ako. Hahaha. So yeah, halos sa middle of the speechna ako nakapasok. There were a lot of speakers. hahaha. Okay... so I found out they do a lot of things in there. And you have to join Dulaang UP as practicum.

After that, the bell rang. And I met up with ehem and Mr. Young who gave more instructions. So the second period bell rang na. I wanted to go inside education.... pero puno na and too late. Nakakahiya namang mag-dramatic entrance. So I didn't go in na.

Dahil wala naman kaming ginagawa, we went to the h4 guidance room and looked at the yearbook. Grabe ibang-iba talaga ang mga mukha nina Allen at CY. Iyong iba, halos pareho lang. Hahaha.

Then, Msr. Young told us to wait by the media ed for the doctor who's giving a speech. So yes, ehem left to assist the psychologist while i waited for the doctor. Anyhow, he came. I met the doctor... he was friendly, gave water then I left. And then, I sat in sa communication arts room.

A photographer and alumni was the speaker. After what he said, I wanna take that course na. Hahaha. Parang gusto kong mapunta sa advertising business. Hahaha! If not, there's a whole lot of alternatives. Hahaha.

The problem is CommArts or CommTech is only available in Ateneo. UP doesn't have it... the closest I found was integrated into Performance Arts or Education.... and I don't really like. (Weirdly, those two courses were the talks i went to or wanted to go to.) But I wanna go to UP since mas interesting ang lugar tsaka i'll see new faces that aren't Xaverians or ICAns. nO offense though. Hahaha.

So what do you think?

In other news: The assembly was interesting. We had the miting-di-avance. Dustin screwed up his speech so sayang! The results were in... and according to Jona. President is Joe Chan. VP Internal is Martin de Joya. VP Internal is Bow (Sana nanalao si dustin. Nakakainis!) No one won AO (sayang si Harveen!). and TJ lost to Wayne as Batch Rep by 12 points lang. SAYANG! INIS!

But before all of that, I was called by Mr.Legs while I was in line. I was going to make the announcement. So after the cool video made by TQ, I went up. Screwed up a bit. But I delivere it nonetheless. Exit. This is the gist of what I said:

WATCH TULO!

Tickets are now available. Only P50... reserve na and get em on Tuesday!
The show is on Wednesday @ 5. Friday @ 7:30. Lecture Hall. BE THERE!

I got punished for working hard... and the fruit of my labor was sh*t.

Friday, Caliraya and Grounded.

I miss blogger's auto-save. This is the second time I'm typing this down. Sigh. Multiply kasi eh! Hahaha.

Anyhow. AI NEWS: I'm soo sad! Joanne Borgella is gone! Those Americans... how discriminative! Aren't they fat too? Joke! But I really like her! That aside, she must really be friendly. All the girls were crying when they called her name. Lalo na si Ramiele! Todo-iyak...

In other news, I've watched Sweeney Todd na! Thank god for the internet! Wohoo. Ang galing! It was beautiful. But I didn't like how fluid the blood was. The color's just fine... then again, I'm part color blind. Also, there were some parts I didn't understand, but it was all good! Woohoo! Hmmm. So what else? Right!

I went to the derma yesterday. I tagged along with my mom and tita while they were doing errands. Boring. And then we went to Conti's for lunch. Yum! And then we went to the derma. I had a facial... it was all good till they started pricking my face. After that, they poked hard on the spot and then scratched it. Sakit. And then they injected three of my pimples. Hahaha! But it wasn't as painful as Trisha used to describe it to be. Hahaha!

Anyhow, I'm so lonely. I kept imagining last night how everyone's enjoying FX Night while I'm stuck at home. *sigh* Nakakainis kasi eh. I'm grounded. So just so you know, here's the story. But I'll start from the very beginning: Caliraya.

So I woke up early... which is apparently still late. I arrived in school at 6:33am. Buti na lang the bus hadn't left pa. Wahaha! As usual, I fell asleep... that was when we were in SLEX na.

I woke up when we took a stop at Shell. I bought (the wrong flavor of) Mentos, Pepsi Max and Yan-Yan. The Yan-Yan was fun: it had quotes. My first one read "child of the night"! Hahaha.

So I was awake the rest of the trip and took blurry pictures all the way. Hehehe. We finally arrived. After much compliments, laughs and landscape photography (check the album out!), we went to the site na.

I planted one tree. Kung di ako naunahan ng iba, I would've planted more. Anyhow, I took a lot of macros of a single flower till I finally took the perfect one. Haha! And then we advanced peeps took pics by the rocks in the area. Vain din pala si Mr. Q. Hahha!

Anyhow, we went to the bus na. More landscape pics. And then we went to the Japanese Garden t eat lunch. Grabe! Ang ganda talaga dun! More landscape pics! What's amazing there is that it's so authentic: there are actual Japanese people! (Tourists from Japan) Hahahaha.

After much photo ops, it started to drizzle hard so Jona, Kevin, Mic and I went to the shade downstairs. Everyone else were upstairs. They enjoyed the "striking vista" daw. But I rather miss the photo ops than be drenched in the rain. Anyhow, I was also able to feed a dog while down there. Naging tourist attraction ako! Woohoo! Hahaha. But someone scared the dog away with flash. Damnit!

Well, we left na. And I was about to doze off already until I turned to my right and saw Karl was asleep na. PEEEECHURRR! Woohoo! Natatatawa talaga ako sobra. Hahaha. I took sooo much shots of him. But that was only half of it: when I turned to my back: the whole bus as asleep. Wooohoo! Revenge!!! Hahaha. I took pics of everyone. Prized pics are: Ariel, Nicanor, Andres, Jus, Sean, Caloy and JONATHAN! Hhahaha.

Extra talaga si Ryan Sy. Kala niya--------------. Tuloy, naging silang lahat with his flash! Grrr. Anyhow. I took a rest for 10 mins. Then my fellow paparazzi--Mykee and Matt--told me they're asleep ulit. So Wooohoo! Tulog na rin si Ryan soo.. HIHIHI! After this, I went to sleep with a hood para safe ako. Hahaha!

So we arrived back at school at 5. We were going to do the exhibit na. When I got to he lecture hall, everybody escaped. :| So there. This is the start of my troubles. I was stuck with Ezra and we were still lacking cartolina. So he offered to buy since he had a driver. (Iniisip ko is this a trick)

While he was gone, I made gulo Mic Lim, Jeremy and Mrs.X habang they were putting up the tarp. This is around 5:30 na. I looked at my phone. And I saw missed calls and a text. My dad was there na raw. But I didn't have load so naki-text na lang ako kay Michael. Sinabi ko hindi pa ako tapos and I'm not sure what time pa I'll be done. He asked about tutor pero I told him I dunno na kung makakapunta pa ako. At this point, I assumed he went somewhere na while I'm still busy.

So then Ezra arrived. We started working. Xientia people doing their boards. CY and friends playing loud music and dancing. Mga 7+, I checked my phone again. I had a missed call and a text. The text said go out na. Pero I couldn't go to Mic Lim, so I started giving Ezra final instrucitons and finishing the last of what I was doing para makaalis na. And then, Mic Lim goes to me and shows me a text: "Go out now or go home by yourself."

Syempre naman sino'ng di matatakot nang ganyan? So I gave Ezra very, very simple instructions on what to do. Then I ran to the car.

Pagpasok ko, nag-apologize ako. Tinanong niya kung nasaan ang cellphone ko. I brought it out, he grabbed it and threw it to the back of the car.... Sermon. Next thing I know: "You're grounded. No extra curricular for the whole week. From school, you'll ride the school bus going home right away." and then... "I'll give you back your cellphone when I feel like it."

Syempre ang tindi ng hinanakit ko riyan. I mean, what first struck me was ung No ECA. Buti sana kung FX iyong pinuntahan ko... pero hindi 'eg. Iyong exhibit iyon! SCIENCE CLASS IYON! GRADE YON! Makikita yan ng lahat ng taong papasok ng exhibit. Tingnan mo ang advanced, ang pangit! And then you think it's just eca. D'un talaga ako nainis! Iyong part na I get punished for being hardworking.

Anyhow, I calmed down over the week. Nangulila lang ako sa cellphone around mge Wednesday na. I'm like I'll get my phone pang music... wala nga pala akong phone. I'll go text mic kasi di sya sumasagot sa ym... wala nga pala akong phone. I'll just set the birthday... wala nga pala akong phone. Pampalipas-oras na game na nga lang.... wala nga pala akong cellphone. :|

Anyhow, I'm lifted tonight. One week anniversary. He gave my phone back na this morning. Yehey. Sayang lang talaga ang FX Night. *sigh*

It seems like I won't be able to finish my goal of blogging about everything. We'll just see. Hahaha.

By the way. The exhibit: It's shit. It's crap. The Sunday after, I was already telling Michael Lim about how much respect I have for Ezra na. I take it back. When I saw what he did Monday morning. I went berserk! Ang layo sa mga instructions na binigay ko. Tinatanong-tanong ko pa sa kanya: "Okay, you didn't follow my instructions. And I know you don't have a sense of style as you keep repeating. But didn't you even wonder na mukha siyang pangit?" Grabe talaga ang inis ko noon. That's the sad part. I got punished for working hard... and the fruit of my labor was shit.

Romeo and Juliet Oral Test and American Idol

Wow. I'm actually watching American Idol. Hahaha. Unlike last year, I now am!

I'm amazed by the Filipinos on the show. David Archuleta << He's good. He keeps amazing the judges din. But his being Filipino isn't advertised a lot. Maybe it's because one of his parents is only half or something like that.
Ramiele Malubay << ANG GALING NIYA SOBRA! SOBRA TALAGA! Hahaha. I really like her! And she's Simon's favorite tonight. Wahaha!

My other bets are... Jason Castro, Michael Johns (ang galing ng Bohemian Rhapsody niya!), Joanne Borgella, Asia'h Epperson, Alexandrea Lushington, Syesha Mercado and Alaina Whitaker.

In other news, this will be the start of the series of blogs I'm doing over the four-day weekend. I need some catching up to do on all the blogs. Hahaha. (why does this remind me of Paul's Singa blog?) There's Varie, Fair, LTs, Caliraya, and around 1 or 2 more I'm forgetting. Hahaha!

So this one's about my oral test. 99 baby! Wahaha!

So as most know, the oral test for all the second years is the balcony scene speech from Romeo and Juliet. Hahaha. Honestly, most of it all was done last minute. I only found the perfect costume the day before. (Thank you, FX!) I only really practiced the night before. Hahaha. So I'm really proud of what I've done. I even had some "lighting." LOL!

Weirdly, I'm the only guy who didn't practice out in the corridor. Partly because I forgot that I'm near since I was having fun watching. And partly because I wanted to make sure that the tranny cardboard Juliet was laid to rest during my speech... Why so? Because she's distracting and because I imagined she'd be in a much taller balcony. (There's a part in my speech when I reach for her so I can't have her on the same level as I am.)

Anyhow, as usual, I've the lowest score-giver for the oral tests. Most are in the line of 8s meaning my score-giving is really low compared to the other orals. After the first few, I really had to adjust since the scores were quite low even if I myself fell they deserve higher. Only 3 are in the line of 9. That's Jona, Tim and Kurt.

If I were to recommend who'd go on to the batch contest, I'd choose: Kyne, Julian, Kerwin, David, Kurt or Timothy to be a representative.... but they have to memorize first! Why didn't I choose Jona? Something about his facial expressions.
So sad Kerwin and Tim weren't in the people recommended. Kerwin didn't memorize kasi! But he's a shocker...I didn't expect him to do well. Tim did it more modern which is why I think he didn't get in.
It's a shocker to me why the people I expect to score high didn't do that well in my opinion: Jan, Sean, Ariel and Cabs. (but Mr. Perez recommended some.. don't remember which.)

Honestly, I don't agree with how Mr Perez grades people. I mean he praises the people who I think lack facial expressions and sound like they're in a declamation contest rather than an actor in a theatre. I really take note of the voice and how the eyes move, but he still seems to praise those I don't like. Hahaha. I just don't know. I kept giving low scores to most of the people he praised. Hahaha. But I can't totally disagree... some we're really good! (but needed to memorize!)

Anyhow. 99. Wohoo! I'm sooo happy! Yun nga lang I can't help but think sooo much about his comment: address the audience more. I keep thinking to myself... then I'd be breaking the fourth wall. Hmmm. Sigh.

FAULT
The Broken Sonnet

I should have closed the window. Opened lights
I am wrong. I should have stayed true to you
There was ne'er anyone so leave their rights
My own hand that tapped. Not a problem, true
You never failed me. It's I that failed you
Don't take it on yourself. It isn't your--
It's mine. Promise, I'll stay solemnly true
I broke your heart. I will do it no more
I feel so embarassed. Depressed. So true
'Cause I never intended so to you.

Just don't leave. Just don't go.
Please.

charity, do me justice.

I call this Melancholy.

I took a peek.
And I awoke to seek
That Mary's dreams
were my blanket's seams.

The noise in my head
Broke my holy bed.
The water drops
were confused slops.

And two piece the bread
My thinking head
My swollen eyes
one o' lies.

There is no sense

The Day

Crazy. I almost made a senseless poem. I'm in the mood. But I'm out of time as it is. Had I the liberty, that would be a whole senseless poem about the stuff below:

Nothing much today. I just felt like blogging.

Right now, I'm covering my mask with masking tape. It's just a few days left and I'm barely done. Sigh. I wish I was more productive. I don't have the inspiration. Sigh some more.

I fell asleep quite early last night. I mostly got bored waiting for my computer to load that I fell asleep. I woke up at around one and decided to call it a night. Anyway, I didn't have much to do.

Nothing new really happened today. The usual drama. The usual work. The usual shit. The usual. Chinese and Social Science made me worry much though. I feel so stupid and useless, but I'm happy.

Anyway. I amazed myself with the Prod Balcony. And when there was nothing left to do, I let the blood fall into my head to give me some life. No, I'm not sick. But thanks for the concern. That's a dose of the happiness pill for the day.

I need some coffee though. And I took one from the cafe. Quoting Allen too: "It tastes like sex." Not that I've tasted it already. Before finally leaving, I made a few more adjustments, which almost led to my death. (I almost sawed my wrist off.)

"I just need to know if it's possible for two people to stay happy together forever"

And because of that, I'm sort of sad right now. (I got interested, so I watched the dramatic part again.) So let me just finish my taping.

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again

-- Alicia Keys (great album! get it.)

please. anywhere but here. please

Scary Thing and Problems

First off: Happy Birthday, Paul! Hahaha.

Well, scary thing just happened to me a while ago. It all goes back to Patayin sa Sindak. Ever since I last watched it, I've been fantasizing of some kind of horror play that makes use of a lot of darkness, lighting effects and moving light curtains (??... i know. don't ask.) What was the play's story about? Bloody Mary.

So what was soo scary. I was thinking about it while doing business last night. Then I was saying the lines na. Bloody mary... bloody mary.... by the time I got to my third, I just remembered: The mirror's behind me. So I quickly finished up and went to bed. Strange thing is I kept hearing mysterious noises while still awake.

The other freakier thing. I was fixing my hair in front of the mirror kanina. I was thinking of the horror play and how to scream. When biglang the lights became dim. FREAKY! Nagulat talaga ako. No cause for that happening naman. Hahahaha.

Anyhow, everything's just going out of hand right now. Deciding whether not I should sell tickets. Thinking about fixing the set. Dealing with dilemmas. Facing problems. Catching up on my failing marks. Thinking about what to do on that day. Sudden bursts of rage from uselessness and helplessness.

However, I found an answer during my Filipino test on Kay Selya.

Nagbabalik mandi't parang hinahanap
dito ang panahong masayang lumipas;
na kung maliligo'y sa tubig aagap,
nang hindi abutin ng tabsing sa dagat.

Deep! Hahaha. I'm still finding a more concrete sign. But I guess the above will do for some of them. *sigh*

I just want'a scream. You know?

Why is my moodie happy? I dunno. Open for interpretation.

a mile in these shoes

Examen, Sleep and Disappointments

How funny. I forgot about examen.

Last Friday, I was awake. Alive and almost kicking. Why? I was behind the P.A. Hihihi!

I was picked out of nowhere. I was just waving at Mr. Perez until he pointed at me and ran out of the workroom, sheet of bond in hand.

I enjoyed. I wasn't as nervous as before. I was able to stand straight. I tried to be not as boring as possible. I think having it in English helped. But I still screwed up a word or two.

This time, I didn't go over the time and not finishing reading it. In fact, there was soooo much spare time since the stories were short. I kept wondering to myself during the absurdly long moments of music. Hahaha.

I hate eyebags. But what can I do? At least I made up for some sleep last night.

I dread seing 3:00 in my watch without the sun shining from the window.

I hate being a lazy obsessive-compulsive. Why can't I just be one or the other?

And the worst part is i'm a nocturnal creature--not someting really bad when it comes to vacation period. But it's really annoying when there are classes and work. Sigh.

Just got pissed off. I really can't stand it.

But what can I do?

Kung pukulin ka ng bato, tanuning mo ang sarili mo ba't di mo sinara ang bintana. Please lang.

love na love si baby

Ramblings from this Week

Grabe! Katatapos lamang ng Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara! Nagmumulto pa rin si Ruth! Hahaha. I can't believe it's done na. At least I can concentrate on my studies more na. LOL.

Wow. I've just rediscovered Camp. I still remember this movie. I really liked it. Hahaha. Reminds me of all the X-Rep days. Haha!

Anyhow, this week has been really long and crazy. I can't remember much... not like I'd want to. It's mostly sabog. Hahaha.

Last Wednesday evening, I was watching Patayin sa Sindak. It got kind of boring so I fell asleep. It's soooo annoying. For one, I didn't finish the show. Second, I woke up at 6am the next day. Third, I had to cram my CLE reflection. Fourth, I forgot my PE uniform. *sigh* But I guess it's a good thing since the reflection turned out fine, varrick lent me his uniform, and I HAD THE BEST SLEEP I've had ever since the start of classes. Woohoo!

FX is getting crazy. Soooo much work. So fun though. And it really makes me happy just to see a part of the set be done. What more if we finish the whole thing already. Hihihi.

ROMEO and JULIET! Wooohoo. I noticed that and Florante at Laura are really beautiful pieces of work. As in, I finally appreciate all the poetic portrayals and beautiful stories. LOL.

Things are going downhill right now. Nothing I can't fix. But the thing is... life is shit and the flush ain't working. The only thing you can do is add perfume. Heehehe.

There's nothing much I can say right now. Hahaha. I've mostly forgotten everything. Is that a good thing?

down to the last...

Greenhills, Shang and Hectic Monday

I am exhausted. It's a good thing I got some sleep. Patayin sa Sindak makes a good wake-up call. LOL.

Anyhow, I'm supposed to have a blog about yesterday. But stupid multiply got it deleted. Damn. So here I go again. Hahaha.

Well. For the third time in a row, I'm not late for Mass! Woohoo. Palakpakan naman diyan! Hahaha. After which, we spent a day in Greenhills. Ate lunch with Mama for no apparent reason, just to spend time with her. Hehehe. Anyhow, I wasn't able to find a wallet. Boo. Hahaha.

Went home right after. Sadly, nagka-black out. *sigh* I just slept through it right after getting bored with Romeo and Juliet. Hahaha. Since by 8, the lights didn't come on yet, my ad decided that we go to Shang. I can just go read my books in Starbucks.

When we got there, we did some errands. ID pic... again. National (where I finally found the mechanical pencil i've been lookinf for for a long time). Dinner at Le Coeur.

While eating though my yaya texted that there was light na. (Tricky. Apparently, the lights went on a few minutes after we left. She just didn't want us to eat at home. Hahaha! )

Before leaving, i told my dad I wanted to get some CDs. Hahaha. So I now have Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna. I'm still thinking if I want Mario. But I'm sure I'm getting Mary J Blige's once it's out. Hahaha.

So yeah. Blah. back at home.

Today was really hectic. Hahaha. Aside from dealing with my disfunctional... hay. I had to go searching for that blue box, cram Science and do whatever. I feel so sabog right now.

During lunch, I've gone to places I shouldn't go to... hahaha. The Lecture Hall and the Bodega. Mark and I also kept looking for Wilson. *sigh* Anyhow. Crazy. Crazy.

Even much more crazy during FX. It's like I've been to the whole school. LOL. Anyhow, it finally turned out smoother, and I can't wait to do my job. Hahaha.

*sigh* I've still got a sack of homework to do.

white lies

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

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!
