College Dilemma... Part II
POSTED AT 07:45 AM

Tapos na.

Tapos na ang aking mga paghihirap sa High School. Tapos na ang exam sa STC: Lecheng Eko yan, na 'brain-drain' nnman ako. Imagine, he included this item that was SO hard! Like find the stupid equilibrium price! ANd thewn jot it down on a stupid graph? HELLO?? E nung 1st/2nd quarter pa yun e. Sobrang kinalimutan ko na yun e. AND.. That same item was like the one wherein we ALL had a hard time answering. Sigh* Ang bait tlga ng Eko teacher nmin. Well ofcourse I didn't quite study eko and pinoy coz umandar na yung antok ko and I concentrated more on Trigo coz I got a low grade in the card, so there. Anyway tapos na yun. Wala na. All I need is to finish my requirements and pass it on monday. AND... Worry about my ... college.

Yes. Hai. Sodes' ne. My college.

Last night I was so happy coz school stuff for me was over. And I was looking forward to college specifically UP. I talked to my dad about UP again. The last time I and my dad talked about it, he agreed about the whole UP thing. Yesterday was like so weird and quite dissappointing that made me feel a little bit confused..

Me: Dad grbeh excited na ako sa UP. Pano yan hindi pa ako nakakakuha ng Certificate of Good Moral Conduct?
Dad: Ha? Sha nga pla, pnta kami ni Shiya sa UST papalakad nmin yung course mo
Me: Ha? O cge pero UP tlga..
Dad: Why?
Me: Kc... Magiging malaya ako dun e! I'll be free!
Dad: Pagiging malaya e sa sarili lng yan.

...

What was that all about?

Since then, after I took a massage session for my dad (I was feeling pissed already..) I went down with a smirk on my face and felt so darn confused. I had the run down of thoughts again. E ayoko tlga pag nangyayari yun...

Gusto ko ng UP tlga. Bakit nga ba? Kasi iba sha sa ibang schools e. Kung sa USTe ako para na rin akong nagcollege sa STC. E ayoko na gusto ko nmn iba. Pero pag UP mahirap. Kahit astigin yung school na yun, maraming trials dun. Natatakot tuluy ako. Chka ano na b tlga?

Sigh* BUT... I have already made up my mind. UP pa rin. I just remember what Chiara Lubich, founder ko/namin sa Focolare Movement, that God's will for me usually entrails suffering. Kaya yun!

So... Wish me luck a! Kinukulit ko na ngayon yung friend ko si Mike chka yung Tita ko about my enrolling dring the summer in UP for the Certificate of Fine Arts! Sheesh it's kind of scary and all pero exciting din! I can't wait! Sana makaenroll ako and sana qualified ako! I'll keep you all posted kung may school na ako!

Well... I'm happy now, kind of...

I haven't started on finishing my school stuff for tomorrow plus the completion thingies that I have to accomplish. All I did after the exams was to bum around at home and watched TV, eat, and best of all, start a novel. UHUH novel. It's about a girl who just entered in the university that she looooves and meeting new friends and having the best time of her life. Though it's NOt that fantasy-adventure type of novel but what's important is it's from my own wild imagination.

And as for why I'm happy? Well... OUt of boredom and curiosity (coz I felt so hopeless and I needed a spark of hope...) I went to the upd site and tried to find out if there was the sched of application for Certificate of Fine Arts: University of the Philippines. LUCKILY, I found one and the enrollment was from March 24 to April 30. Now this was good news for me coz my mom told me that UST results should be on first before the enrollment or else if it's vice versa then I'll end up in Uste. Well anyway if you got that or not, I saw the sched and I shrieked and so did my mom and I felt so happy. Ahehehe. That's all! I was happy because of that UP thing. But HEY! That's not just "A UP THING" right? FOr me UP is such a sacred word! A Therapeutic word! And I'm over exaggerating once more, my friends! Forgive me for my seemingly oxymoronic weirdness. Hehehehehe! Hokay! As much as I want to tell you more about... MORE stuff, I gotta scoot! I have consumed already... 2 hours of internet access. And I'm using prepaid for Financial Reasons and my dad's gonna kill me if I use up all the credit so yeah! Breath!* That's it! Hope I'll be so darn happy in the next couple of days! And NO REGRETS FOR ME!!! WHaaaaa! I still have to finish the f**... I mean.. friggin school work *ish! Aheheh. Can't wait to go to freaggin COLLEGE! But college gives me the CREEPSSSSS! Whaaaaa! Tas'KETEEEEE!!!!! Wai wai wai! Ja ne

...and 'shimatta' I'm blabberin'. Whew! I like it! OH NO there goes my dad! Whaaaa!!!!!

So feel free to read on. HeHe!

Today was a nerve-wracking but cool experience. Thanks to Gawad Kalinga, I lifted a gazillion of hollo blocks (Argh, they were so rough, my hands had scratches all the time! Ooof!), painted a steel bar for construction (and the pants that I was using had a red paint stain in it? Yikes! Those aren’t my pants! They’re my sister’s!!!), AND, educated some seemingly hyper-active kids who enjoy hitting each other and making a whole lot of noise. (not to mention kids who don’t even know how to say “Excuse me!” Argh…)

I told you I had the time of my life! HaHa!

But okay okay, you might think that I am being sarcastic. To tell you the truth, even though I had a super exhausting day under the scorging sun’s heat, I felt so fulfilled coz I worked hard on something for the benefit of those who needed ‘em. Like, Hardworking for a Cause. Y’know what I mean? It’s so nice…

~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~

Whew!!! I already finished 3 chapters of my novel! Woohoo! I feel so inspired, especially earlier, something came up (it’s a sad issue that’s too bearable for me to input… Maybe next time. HeHe…) and I just felt like opening Microsoft Word and just do nothing but type, type, and type. Wow. It’s such a cool feeling when I let my imagination run wild. HaHa! I feel so smart!

~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~(^_^)~

Speaking of which, I still feel disturbed about my so-called “College Dilemma” so I decided to text my aunt to ask some questions that would surely waste her time. HaHa. At first I was happy coz she responded right away, but afterwards she stopped replying maybe because my questions were puny and redundant and overall irritating (I think…) So now I feel sad again. Sigh* Aww! HaHa!

Geesh part of my mind tells me to be confused about where I’ll study. The other part tells me that UP is the best among the rest. Sigh* What a dilemma I tell you. I know you’ll think I’m this shallow person, making a big deal out of small things, but it’s a pretty big thing for me so there’s nothing you can do about it. Okay? HaHa. That was rude! Sorry… HeHe.

Ooooooh! I feel so… Grammar-ish! (Is there such a word? No!) Hokay so I’m off! I’ll be watching Love Letter after dinner. Achk! Love Letter. HAHAHAHAHA! Wooooo! I’ll tell you guys next time why I can relate to the Korean drama Love Letter. Yes, reminds me of something that happened to me that is very similar to the show. HAHAHAHA I flatter myself. Later…

I was suppose to wake up at 7, and my boss in the school mag calls me up. I'm like "Blink::Blink:: Whu??? What the..." And she tells me I should email the layout and all right then and there coz the press will be in school early. It was kind of funny coz I went down with my eyes all puffy, my hair in a sheer daze and my whole self in a complete bedroom mess. Then when I was attaching the files. WHOW it was SOOOO SLOW. I was falling back to sleep again! HaHa. Oh well, I was able to send it anyway, except for the back part. I wasn't able to make it right, that's why, so I had to, like, do it again? Hokay so I'll be going to school at around 12 coz there will be an openinng... No, Turn Over seremony. HeHe. Hokay! Cool, I'll have pancakes for breakfast! Ja ne...

Saya dun.

As in, I was able to go out atlast coz my social life has been VERY poor for the past 4 years (yep!). And even though I didn't have someone to be with coz my classmates officially backed out the day before, I still had fun coz 4-N did their best to accompany me. SALAMAT!!! Especially to my ehem ehem... Close friends in 4-N. HAHA! Salamat din!

And oh! Galing ng 4-N band. Mejo sumemplang lang si Bimbo sa 3rd song pero I can see his effort naman chka hindi naman lagi nangyayari yun sa kanya e. HaHa ang sama ko! WHA may kidlat na akong nakikita! Nyehe corny ko na. Si Leo naman, as usual! hwow! galing sa gitara parang hindi tao! Hihi! Ts si Luigi... Wow marunong pla sha mag percussions! Ts si Mark... WOW galing magpiano! Ts si (cno ba to?) Si Ben! Ayun! Aba nagbe-bass pla sha! Asteg. And ... Yung isang 4-n, hindi ko mamukhaan, ang galing mag 'kahon'. Asteg.

They sang:
1) Himala
2) Rainbow
3) Kahit Kailan
3) Because of You (eto asteg kc tinawag pa nila yng teacher nila, si Ms. Sales ata, ts kumanta pa si Kiko Ramos. HaHa!)

Kaya...

CONGRATS SA 4-N for a JOB WELL DONE!

Hope you raise funds for the Gawad Kalinga! Yahuuuu! (^-^)

Grad Practice
POSTED AT 07:02 PM

elenahitomi

WHOA!!! First day of Grad practice and I WAS LATE! HAHAHA. Actually, I’m always tardy. I’ve set the record for one of the tardiest students in St. Theresa’s College Q.C. Why? It’s either I wake up late, or my dad wakes up late, or traffic, or someone forgets something and have to, like, go back and get it. Anyway, I was tardy alongside my classmate Chessy. We arrived at around… 8:15, I think. And when we got there, DARN the stooooohpid policy about those who were tardy/absent. Like when a student is tardy, they ‘ll count the number of hours wasted and they will have to make payback for the time they so-called ‘wasted’. HAHA nice one. Sure…

Sooo before lunch there was an orientation of the sched. After lunch was the start of the practices. I tell you man, singing all day long can be pretty boring. Especially when you’re full, you’d feel sleepy, then here ya go attending a practice and singing the SLEEPIEST mass songs EVER! And like we sang the darn song/phrase/verse/stanza all over again! And, like, the teachers would tell us to sing louder for voice projection. WTF?? HaHa! How can we project our voices on a mood such as the one earlier? Drowsy, sleepy mood! Hoh well. It was fun. I was chosen to be one of the song leaders in iv-3. Ms. Ilano called me up to lead the whole batch in singing Ama Namin. Whoa I felt so hot and I looked so friggin WASTED MAN! Yuckk! When I went down the stage, my bandmate, Mai, told me I had a bad hairday. Darn! There goes my charming looks… Charming in my seemingly sweaty, icky, gross beauty. HeHe.

So there would be practices again. For the next 2 weeks (Sigh* Buhay…) and only one rest day. Can you believe that? Prrrfttt! Rrrrgh! Can’t wait for the SUMMER! Can’t wait for MY BIRTHDAY! Yep, it’s comin’ all right! Hehehehe. Later!

And I thought I just wanted to cancel it coz I felt like not going...

Really. Good thing I went to the gradball with my seemingly witty partner, Jason aka Hok Delima. Asus! Ang KULIT nya! SObrah. Astig partner! Aba... He was the most talkative and downright noisy guy in the table. Grbeh pero ok lang sakin kasi astig. Mahilig ako sa mga tao na may sense of humor. Nyaha! Maswerte sha at may pasensha ako sa mga ganun. E kung ibang girls pa yun, WALA... They'd like react "Weird... Uhh partner ko ba sha?" Nyaha! Pero ako? Ha! Lumalaban pa ako. Hehehehe. Matigas ata to. Hihi.

But seriously the gradball was so fun. I never expected it to be so much fun. Hehe. Andami pang theresians! Suuus! Cguro.. 6 yung nakita kong theresians sa gradball. Asteg ts I thought I was the only iv3 there, but NO. Sherlynne Santiago was there as well! Nice!!! Hindi ako nag-iisa. Asteg!!!

I really had a great time. I really had a blast just being with Hok's friends aka Bandmates nga pla. Asteg asteg. Thanks nga pla kay Mike for the ride grbeh. HeHe.

Malas nga lang... I brought a camera with NO BAttery so couldn't use it. Haaaaayyy. Sayang tlga. I was looking forward to take pictures.. pero wala. As in WALA. Bat ganon? Haaaayyy. Kaasar tlga... Grr. Kung kelan ko gusto ng pistures chka wala. Haaay.

Okay I'm blabbering now. Cge, it's like way past my bedtime and I am going to sleep and I'm NOT gonna go to school tomorrow. I am gonna rest (if my parents allow me to. HeHe.) I, like, have to go to school for the darn grad practice. Haaayy nakoh. Hindi na natapos. HeHe. HOKAY then. Time for me to sleep! G'nyt! G'morning!!! ( -_-)zzZ Currently feeling: like doing it again!!!

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Even though the book was unbearable for my mind to apprehend, all I can say is that the MAN IS A DARN WRITER!! Dude! I LOVE ur writing! Murakami-san no SUGOI WA!!! HaHaHa!

So has anyone of you read the book Norwegian Wood? I'd be a very happy individual if there's someone who have actually read it. Then I could ask you all sorts of questions!

Oh yeah, the reason why I decided to write on my journal so early in the morning coz I just finished the book a few minutes ago. And to tell you the truth I was really looking forward to know what the ending would be but when I reached that part, I was left with utter QUESTION. "WHAT?" "Why???" "What the..." I felt like everything vanished, everything died, everything was forgotten I think. I thought the guy can start a new life but then he looks at his surroundings and suddenly realizes that he doesn's know where he friggin IS! I mean, that's so fucking SAD!!! And SCARY!!!! And downright... CONFUSING!!! Argh all the wretched emotions clouding my fragile pathetic head. I LIKE IT. Oh and I am suchy a weird specimen in this world. Sigh*

I better get some sleep. HaHa.

Ohayou Gozaimas.

Garage rock! I like you... I like you alot! You
and indie are on the same plane for me! You
bring rock'n'roll down to its dirty roots,
whether being minimalist like The White Stripes
or retro like The Strokes. You keep on doing
what you're doing! Oh...and did I mention I
like you alot?
