Sign Up

A very cool day today. The storm is making it wet and cool hehe.

Went to my math class. I was kinda cofident that I would be able to stay in regular math, but I wasnt really feeling that great about my score. I was feeling right hehe. I was able to stay in regular math, but my score wasnt nice. I got a 76 out of a 100. Roughly a C or a C+, I aint sure though.

Then I asked lace to accompany me to the org sign ups area. I went to Actm and signed there. I also headed to the Acil booth. I went there not to sign up, but to talk to joyce abnout her hulagpos book. Joyce was kind enough to sell the book to me for a hundred even if its actual cost is 300 pesos. so Thanks Joyce!

After that we headed to manangs to eat and wait for our other blockmates. Then Ange came and I asked her to accompany me to the Arpt (sumthing like ateneo rifle and pistol team) then I signed up there as well hehe.

Then I went to the covered courts to play some basketball. Luckily I had brought an extra shirt so I was able to really play hehe. I guess I spent about an hour playing before I had to dress up since I still had a filipino class.

Then we had our filipino class. It was ok i guess. We spent it by discussing the course syllabus. I guess our prof is ok just as long as you dont piss him off by doing rude things hehe.

After our filipino class, I then headed to the covered courts to play some basketball again. I really do enjoy playing ball. Haha I think my game's getting better and better since i am able to play it more often now.

I got tired so I just dressed up and headed for home, When I reached the house I decided to go to Sm to buy some stuff. After that it was rest time for me as I just spent the hours fixing my bag and chatting. hehe

Free cuts

A pretty dull day in school.

Woke up at 7 am, saw the text from Angeline uy stating that our english prof. would not be able to come to our class. So this made me relax a bit and I slept for an hour more.

Woke up again at 8 am, took a bath already, Even if my class would start at 10:30, I decided that I wanted to be in ateneo at an early time since the clouds were dark and it might rain so I might as well go while it's still dry.

Arrived in Ateneo at 9:20. I realized that if I still had a class in english, i would stil be able to make it on time even if I left a little earlier than usual. So I headed for our room in Berchman's hall and saw some blockmates. A lot of them where talking about the film that mr. remoto asked us to watch (Naglalayag) and some of them were talking, while some were listening to some of our other blockmates, play the guitar.

After about an hour, it was time for our next class to begin. But then Mr. Remoto didnt arrive so I had another free cut. THis time the english block left the classroom and scattered all over the campus hehe.

I headed to Colayco for the org sign up thingies, but then I realized that I didnt have my wallet so I just decided that I would join the orgs tomorrow. After that I went to the caf to drink and talk to some of my blockmates.

Then we had physics class. As usual it was pretty boring. Haha at least even if Im bored and sleepy during the class I am still able to understand most of the lesson that was being discusssed.

After physics class, we walked a long way to Bel for our 1st intact class We had fun during intact since it had groupdynamics and it was kinda relaxing after a day in school.

I then headed to the covered courts. Even if I had a free cut in Pe because of the cheer rally, I still went since I wanted to play some basketball. Luckily, I spotted a friend who brought a ball with him so I was able to shoot around and even have a 1 on 1 match.

After the game, I headed for home. I guess I was pretty tired because when I reached the house. I just rested on the couch and before I know it, I fell asleep.

Hehe I woke up at around 8 pm and then fixed my stuff and then chatted a bit and downloaded some songs and then watched the Metro Manila Film Festival. "Naglalayag" got a lot of the awards, so Im quite pleased that I was able to watch it.

Thought for the day:
Maybe tonight, You'd be here in my arms...

Naglalayag

very restful but active (?) day.

Woke up at around 8:40. I was thinking that I would attend the 10:30 mass at Ali Mall then head to the theaters to watch the film naglalayag which was a requirement for our lit class.

So I left the house at around 10:20, i arrived at the mass 10:35 so i did miss the entrance part. The priest gavea lengthy but funny homily. He was also singing a lot of songs during it. well anywayz, the mass was pretty quick since the priest spoke pretty fast.

After the mass, I headed for theater. And I was quite mad at the fact that they were not showing naglalayag in ali mall. This means that I have to go to megamall for me to be able to watch it. I didnt like that since I really had no intention of watching nora aunor's movie.

I was in Megamall at around 12:30, I went to the line where they purchased tickets and found out that the movie starts at 1:55 so I had some time to waste. I bought my ticket and then went around a bit. Headed over to the 1st floor area just above the skating rink and saw Jami practicing. It was while watching Jami when I heard the song that would become my thought for the day. Then I went to the fifth floor area and I spotted my block mate ralph with his family, I stopped y to say a quick hello and then left and went to the basement to play at timezone. When I was already in timezone I realized that I didnt bring my card with me, so I just went to Worlds of fun and played some dance maniax. Well Ialready sucked at it, so I struggled a whole lot, luckily I was able to finish it, I say luckily since there was a crowd watching me and I didnt really like the idea of me failing in front of a lot of strangers.
Then I went to the cinema area already since it was already around 1:30. There I spotted James (another block mate) so i talked with him for a while before deciding to go inside cinema 12 for the movie.

Well the movie was ok i guess. It tackled a lot of issues in our society today. It talked about relationships wit large age-gaps, the problems of criminality, and the problem of poverty. I guess it is a socially relevant film, a film which provokes you to think about things maybe this is why Mr. Remoto asked us to watch it.

After the movie I went out already and headed for home since I wasn't really in the mood to go around the malls anyway. As I was on the mrt, passing near ortigas, I got pretty nostalgic when I saw my alma mater La Salle Green Hills. I thought about some things most especially the fact that Im not using my mrt card anymore hehehe since i dont go to lsgh nor do i study at dlsu.

Diagnostic Tests...

A slow and dull day.

I woke up quite late already. I guess My body was trying to replenish all the sleep it had lost because of the school week.
I spent some time looking for my 4th year High school math notebook. I thought It could help me in my diagnostic test in math that would happen in the afternoon. Sadly the only notebook I could find was the second notebook I used during the year. So it had very little notes, and none that can really help me for the test.

After that useless search. I decided to study a bit. I answered the sample test and I guess I was able to get a pretty ok grade when I tried it. After taking the test, I decided to play a bit since it helps me relax.

Then i headed for the school at around 3:20, I thought that I was going to be late, but luckily the trike line wasnt that long (i guess it's because it's a saturday) so i made it in good time.

The test was ok. I guess I was able to answer most of the items correctly, I really hope I pass this test, I dont want to be demoted to math 1 since it would really mess up my schedule.

After the test we headed to dela costa hall to find out how we fared in our diagnostic test in filipino. I guess Im lucky that Im still in regular filipino. I really thought I flunked the test but luckily I survived. I guess I should text Joyce now and ask for her hulagpos book thingie.

My blockmates then decided to head for jollibee to eat. We were haaving fun, joking with each other. And teasing one another. After eating i decided to head for home since it was getting kinda late (well not really).

Thought for the day:
I'll catch you, just fall on me...

SPLASH!

Today started with a very very wet morning.

It was raining and I left my house at around 8:10. I arrived in katipunan at around 8:20. Thinking that my class was scheduled to begin at 9:00. I decided that I should just walk to ateneo than risk being stuck in the line at the trike station and become late. So I zipped up my jacket and walked my way. When I was at the overpass already, I realized that classes start at 9:30 so I basically walked through the rain and got so damn soaked for nothing.

I entered the english class dripping wet, and a lot of people were telling me, "ui mico wet loook ah" hehe well it was ok since it was true anyway.

After that we went to the caf to eat. It was nice to finally be able to eat at the caf up, finding a place to seat there wasnt really easy, i guess we were pretty lucky to have a free cut which enabled us to head for the caf at an earlier time.

Then we had physics, I guess todays physics class was the most boring since we began. It was the first time that I fell asleep in class. And Cat said I looked funny cause I was sleeping, then writing, then sleeping again.

After the physics lecture we had our lab. We finally met our lab professor, and I guess it was ok. We also had our lab experiments and I guess it enabled me to interact more with the rest of my groupmates and the whole physics class as well.

Then we headed to the Blue Eagle Gym for the Cheer rally. I wasnt really that excited about it. As I said, I'm still more of a la salle fan than an atenean. Well it was ok i guess. Except for the long and disorganized lines for the Pe attendance stamps and signups. There was also the game between the Ateneo Legends vs. the ateneo uaap team now, I was able to watch the first quarter and half of the second quarter but I didnt really enjoy it. The first period featured a lot of substitutions for the legends team (which I was rooting for) so my Idol Olsen Racela didnt really play a lot when I was watching. When I left the ateneo uaap team was up, and later I found out that the legends team lost by 4. oh welpz so much for olsen racela.

Thought for the day:
ANIMO LASALLE!

Hai!

Yesterday was a Normal School day...

Went to ateneo. Headed to sec a for my math classes. It was ok i guess, at least up to this point in our lessons, I am still able to keep up with the class and not yet confused. I hope this goes on til the end of the sem (or the year, or my whole college life even).

After math we headed to manangs. We ate lunch there and we also hanged around there singing and my blockmates playing the guitar. It was also cool to find out that Chris listened to some jpop. Thenafter my blockmates' pe classes Barbie introduced us to Kana. She was a foreign student from japan and it was great to talk to her since she knew jpop and she also had this book that translated some basic filipino words into japanese hehe. It was nice reading that since I learned a lot of new japanese words.

After that We went to our filipino class. We finally met our professor. I guess he's pretty strict but overall he's ok I guess. After filipino I headed over to the covered courts for some basketball.

Pat and I played some ball. I guess I was enjoying it cause I didnt realize that It was already 5:00pm when I decided to leave. When I headed for the dressing area, I saw chris and I decided to join him in Sbc before heading for home.

and After a glass of italian soda I headed for home. I guess I was pretty tired since i had been playing sports for 4 straight days and my body aint accustomed to that. So at home, i just chatted a bit and listened to the cd that lace gave me and then I was easily able to sleep despite my insomniac tendencies.

Thought for the day:
Are you my hapiness?

Arouch part 2!

Boring school day again!

Headed to ateneo using the megatren (as always) haha and then when I left the train I was surprised to see 2 of my blockmates Lace and Richmond also departing the train hehe.

Then I had english class, well it was ok and then we had lit which was kinda fun because we thought we already had a free cut since our prof was not yet in class and 10 minutes had already passed but then Mr. Remoto came and well we had classes.

After that Physics class. We had a diognostic test thingie. Wow It's kinda fun taking it, since I can't remember anything about High School Physics anymore, and I was guessing at a rate of like 4 out of every 5 questions hehe. Oh well I think they were intelligent guesses anyway (yeah right).

After physics I headed to the library to waste some time since I still had PE classes at 3pm. I went there and read the book "The 5 People you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom, which was lent to me by Michelle. It's a nice book, I'm halfway thru it and Im really liking it, I guess I'll buy my own copy once I have saved enough money for it.

After that I headed for the Cov Courts for My pe. Well I already had a sore thumb but I decoded to play thru it thinking that I wouldn't really be using my thumb. Well Unfortunately during the game part of the class. I tried to set the ball to my teammate and well my thumb hit the ball and it hurted me like hell. Now I dont have any mobility in my left thumb. It's now hard for me to write. Haha good thing I dont use my left thumb for typing or else I wouldnt be able to chat ehehehe.

Thought for the Day:
Why won't you let me love you before we run out of time?

Arouch!

A boring school day.

I had math during the morning. it was kinda ok, since I was still able to remember some of our lessons so Im not really left behind or anything.

After that we headed to manangs since it was near the covered courts and a lot of our blockmates were going to have their pe classes there. Kinda fun when there was this little butterfly thingie that flew around our group and Lace was screaming and running around because of it ehehehe.

After that we headed for our filipino classes and well lucky for us, there was no professor so we had a free cut thingie. so I had a lot of extra time so I went to the covered courts to play some ball.

I played in a 5 on 5 game and it was against this guys who were big, well built and well great players, haha I was nt really doing well during the game, just bringing the ball up and acting us point and letting my very great teammate do everything important. Then it happened, I went for a rebound and I jammed my left thumb on the ball. It was painful but I was able to play thru it, but it did affect the way I handled the ball.

After the game I headed for home and then I realized that the injury was greater than I thought I wasnt really able to lift my left thumb, kinda bad since im a leftie oh welpz.

It's just another manic monday

Another boring day.

I arrived in Ateneo around 8:50, it's not as early as it used to be since I was quite lazy to get out of bed ehehe. Spent some time just going around the caf. Then I met Khristian and the rest of our blockmates and then we spent some time talking until classes were about to start.

English was ok. I guess Lit was neat as well. We had our reporting and I guess it turned out pretty ok. After that I had a break then Physics class which was kinda boring as usual.

After the classes I had a break of around an hour and 30 minutes till my next class which was PE. I spent it doing some stuff at the library with Nikki, Lace, Alex and Aby. afterwards I headed for the covered courts for my Pe classes.

Volleyball was ok, I was able to do some things well. Haha but I guess Iwas very rusty and I wasnt really able to perform that well, but I had great team mates so we were able to win one game out of two.

Then after that I headed for home. then I met Victor on the way home, he was with Simon and Kim so I hooked up with them on the way to the mrt station. We used the PWD Elevator since Simon had a sprained foot so we had an excuse. Kinda fun though when the elevator slowed down so much that it seemed to stop when it was near the bottom. It did seem that the elevator was going to be stuck.hehe

I added some links in this site. I think I added Sha's xanga and Xan's blog. hhehe just check them out.

Sorting

Another boring day

Went out of the house to go to mass. On the way there I decided to go to the photo studio for some 1x1 pics because I might need them for school stuff. so there hehe after mass i went home.

When I was at home I read some parts of our lit book. hmm it was ok i guess haha it contained some riddles and some works in dialects that I cannot understand. After that I decided to just sort some of my music files.

Sorting my files for me, meant backing them up using cd's and then deleting them from my hard drive if I dont like them hehe. Well that took up about 3 hours of my time haha, It's kinda amusing to suddenly realize that I have some mp3's to some very beautiful songs but haven't listened to them since there are so many songs in my playlists...

Well I guess that's everything.

oh, happy father's day to all the dads out there...

Tight

Nothing really happened today...

So I finished my first week of classes, and well today was just rest day hehe. I was either Sleeping or Lying on the bed listening to some Jpop and Kpop songs.

The only thing I did today that required some motion was when I went to the malls to buy a belt. hehe i dunno I guess im getting a lil bit thinner since now none of my size 29 pants fit well. They are all too loose hehe damn.

Today is such a boring day daym!

The End of the Beginning

Today was the end of the first week of ateneo classes.

Went to ateneo in good time this time. Hehe not too early and not late. I met with Ton and we stayed at the caf reading our english handouts. Then we decided to head for the classes and we met up with our respective blocks and so we split up and joined them.

My block decided to go to our classes and while waiting outside the room I met ate Loizel. Hehe we chatted a bit and talked about how we want to play hockey again but we cant find time.

After english our block decided to have lunch together at the caf but it was kinda full since it was lunch time so we had to split up in two groups. hmm another sign perhaps that the block is becoming more and more bonded.

After lunch I had physics lecture. well I guess our instructor is ok but she does have the tendency to get kinda boring. After our lecture we headed to the physics lab but lucky for us the instructor didnt show up so we had a free cut thingie.

Because of the extra time I had really nothing to do so the r2 people who were in Physics joined up and played some cards. after that I left and headed for the library and read a bit. After that I went around the campus and saw chris and some friends and well we chatted a bit then i headed for home.

Well I can say that I liked my first week in the school. All of the classes that Im in have nice teachers and great classmates. Im beginning to bond well with a lot of the people in all of them. I really hope that this is a great sign of things to come.

Thought for the day:
After all this time,
I have no regret.

So Close

Just like me they want to be close to you...

Third day of ateneo life. Well pretty routine day. Arrived early as usual, hehe met up with some of my blockmates then had breakfast at the caf. Well nothing really happened during the morning.

I had english with my english block, haha kinda funny when kristel came and she was wearing this Black Lakers Shaq Jersey saying that she wore it for support. And the class was teasing her about it. hehe well english class ended with the Pistons winning the championship! so haha too bad for her. I'm actually a Lakers fan, but I didnt really like their chances in the finals. I am a fan but I didnt really believe in them this series (the nerve of me to call myself a fan).

It was also during the 2 classes in the morning that I realized how tiny my handwriting is. At first during English class my prof said that she thought that there wasnt anything written on my seatwork. At first I said that the ink was just light and didnt really consider the size of my handwriting, but when literature came, my proffessor said that he cannot read my handwriting because it's microscopic so I had to rewrite my paper. Luckily Michelle said that She would write it for me since I still write very tiny even if I already tried to increase the size of my penmanship.

Then physics came, kinda fun cause during the physics class, Rey and I were singing close to you for no reason at all. hehe just plain weird.

Thought for the day:
Just like me they want to be, close to you...

The 2nd Day...

2nd day of classes.

Went to ateneo early again. I arrived there at around 7:50 I guess. This is kinda early because my first class was scheduled at 9:00.

Since I was early, I toured the campus a bit. I tried to familiarize myself with the layout of the whole campus. I met some friends but I didnt really join them since we were not really that close with each other. After touring around for a bit, I went to SEC and saw my blockmates. So I stayed with them. It was kinda fun just hanging around and chilling hehe talking about nothing at all but enjoying it. The block got together there and we ended up being around 15 already there so we decided to head for the classrooms.

Well we had math. It was nice knowing that I still know how to solve the easy problems that were given to us. The instructor was ok as well. After math we had a three hour break so we just went to the ORP to buy our math books. I saw Pat and Ishi there so I just joined them hehe. After purchasing our books, the block decided to head for mcdonalds, so we went there and ate. At first it seemed that we wouldnt be able to sit but luckily some people left so we had vacant seats.

After mcdonalds we went to the classroom of our filipino class. We were delighted to know that the room was air conditioned. Well we weren't able to meet our instructor but the replacement gave us a diagnostic test thingie. The test was really quite hard since Im not really that fluent when it comes to deep filipino words.

After the test, I just decided to head for home. While at home, I decided to buy some books that were listed in the required reading. Well I bought candide by voltaire and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, both of them needed for my fiction class.

Today was a nice a day. I guess the block is becoming closer as the days go by. Of course there are some who are not with us during lunches and stuff like that but I think they'll join us soon...

You're the reason I stay and now you're gonna leave...

Atenean...

Today was my first day of classes.

It was somewhat of an easy day, I went to ateneo at around 8 even if my first class was scheduled at 9:30. I went around ateneo and met Alden. We talked for a little while and then he left me because he already has a class. I went to the Caf and I met Angelene. Kinda funny though coz she said hi to me but I wasn't able to recognize her. I ended up saying, "Hi!, I'm really really sorry but Do I know You?" Hehe it was kinda rude but well it was the best I was able to do during that moment. We spent some time talking and then decided to head to xavier hall for us to be able to get our ids. Haha well the Id picture sucked, it was very ugly haha too bad I have to wear it all the time that I am in campus. We then headed to our building since it was almost 9:30. Well the teacher was looking kinda strict but as soon as she talked she seemed to lighten up a bit. The same goes for our fiction teacher. And our Physics teacher as well. Hehe it seems that the roster of teachers that I have is pretty nice. I then had a long break before Pe classes. I was hoping that we would play but I know that today would just be an introduction thingie. Hmm well the instructor for Pe was ok. She wanted to make the volleyball classes fun for everyone. After Pe I hooked up with some of my blockmates and they introduced me to Jason. He was our blockmate who didnt attend the ORSEM so it was my first time meeting him. I Well he is a nice guy, its just that he seems to be very softspoken. Hehe kinda like me I gues (WOEH!!!!)

Well if this is how my life in ateneo would be, I guess I can start liking it. Maybe in time I would look back and say that I really made a wise decision going here in ateneo.

Thought for the day:
You're the reason I stay and now you're gonna leave...

The Last Sunday

Today is the last day before classes in Admu start.

Well I spent most of my week in Ateneo. Hehe the only exception being Sunday and Saturday. Ive had lots of fun in the school. I guess I must thank everyone who made me really feel welcome in the school.

I enrolled last Thursday. I chose Physics as my Science and chose Volleyball as my PE. After that I already headed for home. Then I remembered that some of my high school classmates were planning to go to lsgh to get the cd yearbooks. So after eating lunch, I already headed for Lsgh.

Then I had my guidance testing last friday. I was kinda surprised that we needed pics. Luckily I had one in my wallet. The guidance testing was very boring and everyone finished way earlier thatn the alloted time given for each test.

After the guidance testing my course block decided to go to starbucks. I guess the idea came after the talk that we had earlier about unity in the block. But when we reached starbucks, we found out that the available space there cannot accomodate all of us so we just headed for Seattle's Best Coffee (Hehe I tried the Italian Soda thingie and well it was pretty good). Well a lot of us came, but some were not able to come probably because it was just a spontaneous idea.

Saturday was a rest day for me. I guess I got tired from the ateneo week hehe. So I was just sleeping most of the day.

Ok, now I have a few more hours til I start ateneo classes. I'm pretty excited about my blocks. So ill blab about them for awhile.

First my course block. hehe Block R2, Well this block is composed of many varied individuals. With some being the quiet persons and some being the loud outspoken people. Right now, I guess there is something like factions within the block. With little groups being formed hehe. I guess that's pretty normal since it's just the start of the year. But the block is slowly jelling together. I guess thre trip to SBC being the first step towards it. Yeah maybe now we are not as bonded as Block R or R4 but Im sure soon enough we will be like them. Haha this may sound like Im envious of them, and well yeah I guess in some way I am. But it's for a good thing anyway, I guess that enviousness thingie is the way for us to think about how bonded we should be.

Then my English block. Block R20, well what can I say? haha cant think of any coz except for some people who were already my course blockmates I never really got to know them since we were just together for about a day. But well my crush is there. I guess my other blockmates noticed that she was my "crush thingie" since i didnt really hide the fact anyway. haha I guess another reason to stay in ateneo. haha well she may be the unreachable star but hehe im still trying to reach for it. But Im loking forward to becoming close with this block since it is with them that I start my mondays, wednesdays and fridays.

The Ateneo

Orsem day since minday im hella tired.

June 7,2004 - The first day.

Took a taxi to go to Ateneo. Well I arrived earlier than I should have. I arrived at around 5:45 but the cov courts were supposed to open at 6 30 hehe. Went in and I was the third guy from my block (R2!) who arrived. Haha waited a bit then talked with some R3 people hehe. Found out that one of them was a chatter, and she chatted with me the day before.

Well then most of the block arrived (2 of them were absent) and I guess we are a good bunch of guys. My block is filled with many friendly people. Although some them are quite silent, I guess they will soon open up once we get to know them better. OH on anoter note I must say that our TNT and the Logs were very very nice guys, they can really make you feel very welcome here in ateneo, I guess this applies to all the orsem volunteers.

A part of the orsem was when they were teaching us the cheers, hmm I just dont get it yet. I still think that the lasallian cheers are way better heheheheh! ANIMO LA SALLE!

Decided to go to kfc with Vanjo and we met up with some of his friends. Haah had a great time talking about ATENEO and LA SALLE and then we decided to head for home using the megatren.

June 8 ,2004 - The Second Day:

Used the megatren to go to ateneo. Haha when i went down a guy approached me and asked me if i was an atenean. I said yes and well we decided to go to school together. Then we went to the tricycle station and saw that the line was very long. Luckily my new found korean friend (shin) had a pal who was already way ahead of us on the line and said that we should all go together instead.

I went to my block and hooked up with some of my 4a classmates. Talked about stuff and then decided to go inside the covered courts already. Haha i wasnt early this time so there were already many people from my block who were seated. Waited until the program was about to start and realized that there were only 2 R2 seats in a row of R3 students. haha then unfortunately I realized that I was gonna be alone since Michelle said to me yesterday that she was not feeling well. haha my position made me feel like the "sampid" of R3 haha but it's ok since that's what i was joking with them about anyway.

Then we went to the campus tours. It was nice since I finally got a faint idea of how the school is mapped, I gained some confidece knowing that I wont get lost in campus when the time comes to move around.

Went back to the covered courts, hahaha some trouble though. They were teaching the admu alma mater song wahahaha. Hmm too put it short. I'd rather say Hail to thee our alma mater, Hail! HAIL! HAIL! than Win or Lose it's the school we choose.

Had so much fun in the group dynamics portion of the program. I actually made new friends because of it. I also realized that my class is 30 and that I should not be contented with making just a few friends.

Then the SOMnight happened. It was ok I guess. Some parts were very nice, but some were quite boring. Haha another bad thing was that they actually went over the 7:00 pm time that they gave. haha i guess it was not that bad since im commuting but still hehe. A good thing though was that I was able to see a lot of the beautiful women of the JGSOM! wahahahahaha damn that's very shallow wahahaha.

Walked to the megatren station with vanjo. then we saw James and Deneb and they said that they were going tp buy some shirts for tomorrow in ali mall. And I told them that Ali mall was near my place so I was gonna accompany them, then i realized it was near 8 pm and that ali mall was closed. So i called home and they said that I just go to shopwise instead.

When we reached cubao, we first went to my house to leave my things and get a quick drink then went to isetan (thanks to mama's advice) and bought our shirts. Then they headed for the station and I went to 7-11 first to buy some stuff before going home.

------

I realized during the orsem days that I am someone who can be makulet but in a controlled way. I realized that I am quite a friendly person, and Im actually getting more and more active with most of the members of the whole class. I guess this is something good that was brought about by my decision to go to admu instead of dlsu. I really doubt that I would be able to become a more open person had I stayed with most of my lsgh batchmates since they know me already as a quiet person. At least here, I start with a blank slate.

Thought for the day:
I am an atenean, but come July 11 until late october - early November:
"I'D RATHER BE GREEN THAN BE BLUE"

Ready, Steady... Go

Today is my last day of vacation.

Well technically it's not. Admu classes start at 14 but then they have this orientation thingie tomorrow until wednesday, then enrollment on thursday, then guidance testing on friday. So it almost seems like classses have already started.

Woke up quite early around 6. I was supposed to go to ateneo using the aurora mrt train thingie but the station was closed down on sundays so I just stayed home until around 10. Then I went to the malls to buy some clothes, haha the thing with going to a school with no uniforms is that I suddenly realized that I didnt have that much shirts. hehe so I bought some clothes but then my mom said that I should try Shangrila for some other choices. And I said that I will go there at around 3 pm.

So I heard mass at around 12pm until 1pm then went home. Ate lunch then went online, chatted with a few friends and well watched some shows. Then I decided to leave for shang.

ROde the mrt to shang and well tried to find some shirts that I like. When I spotted and bought them, I decided to leave shangrila already. But as I was about to go to the mrt station, I saw another station that caught my eye, haha POWER Station. So I just played some games and well I then headed for home.

Now Im at home Im trying to fix some stuff for tomorrow. I guess I'm gonna sleep a lil bit earlier today, haha I am kinda excited and also quite nervous because I dont know what to expect to see tomorrow at the orsem. I guess Im also quite anxious because being in this orsem is somewhat the start of my college life. It is also the beginning of my life as an atenean, haha damn I still feel better being called a lasallian than an atenean. haha I guess the best way to look at it is by saying that being an atenean is not the end of my lasallian ways, it is merely a continuation... (haha yeah right, i'd probably cheering for DLSU in the uaap anyway! ANIMO LASALLE!)

Line for the day:
Say; still love you more...

Renovation

I had to stay at home today! damn boring!

Well the reason I had to stay home was that they were changing the bathroom tiles and well no one was able to use it, so no baths until around 5 pm today damn.

Well that wasnt only the one being renovated, our kitchen was being fixed too. New tiles and everything so we werent able to cook so we just bought food from grill queen.

The house's electric connection was also being fixed, so i had some power outages. I guess that's the only reason why I disconnected.

Well my site is also under renovation, i think im gonna add a background picture on it hehe the site is too simple i guess just one touch of design wouldnt hurt...

Even this blog is still being worked on, i already know the code that im gonna use but i cant think of the proper colors that im gonna apply to them so well its still not finished.

Im actually in a sort of sentimental mood today. I was planning to write something like a solitary cross part 3 but then Vea disconnected and i suddenly felt quite lazy to continue it, maybe tomorrow i would do it.

Buzz Me if you need me...

Taken away from me...

Had a pretty normal day, in short boring...

I went to megamall yesterday supposedly to skate but then I realized that it was already june 4 and my free skating time coupons were valid only until May 31,2004. darn!

But I still went thinking that I would just play dance maniax at the arcade near the rink. But to my horror they have already removed the machine. Although there was another machine in the mall i didnt like that since it has fewer songs per token in it. damn!

With my trip to megamall already wasted I just decided to head for home. When I reached home well I had nothing to do so I just downloaded some songs and went online in ym and irc to chat with some friends.

Around 3 pm I decided to watch the Pirates of the Carribean vcd. Well the movie was great. Nice fight scenes but the story was kinda flat though hehe.

Then I went online again and chatted with some friends, played some online games and check some email.

and as Im making me this post Ria wanted me to say that she said hi... hehe

Solitary Cross version 1.8

Had a pretty ok day today.

Woke up at around 7 am so that I can go to my last day of driving lessons. I had a 2 hour driving schedule so we had some time in our hands to go to different places. We went to quezon city circle during the drive and I had fun going around the circle 2.5 times, hehe kinda fun to practice there. It's like being in a nascar circuit race with the route being composed of just left turns.

Then I ate breakfast at mcdonalds ali mall and after eating I went up to the theaters to see what time harry potter 3 was showing. It said 12:00pm so i just decided to go home and just come back.

Went back saw to watch harry potter 3, it was ok, kinda nice but if you read the book you might get a little bit confused or maybe you would wonder what happened to some of the events that were written in the book but was not shown in the film.

After watching, I went home and on the way i decided to buy 3 movie vcds. Hehe I bought the last 2 lord of the rings films and also pirates of the carribean. I was also looking for the first spiderman movie, but unfortunately the shop didnt have it in stock.

At home I asked James how far his progress was in the layout of my site and he said its done. And now here it is! I guess Im just gonna ask him to edit the color of the links and then add some more features and it would be the finshed version 2 of Solitary Cross. I really have to thank james a lot for this layout since he spent his remaining vacation time just fixing and editing this layout hehe. This is basically James creative mind working with my only help coming from telling him what base colors to use and what kind of format i want.

Thought for the day:
Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
and You, You never said goodbye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

Under Construction

Went to the lsgh to distribute some cd yearbooks...

Turns out that the cd yearbook has not yet been delivered, they will deliver on monday. So we just decided to leave early.

Went to Robinsons Galleria with James, Alden and Pat. Went up to top floor and then saw Anj and Da sitting in Ice Monster. Then we decided to eat at Yoshinoya. We met Powee as we were about to leave. Went back upstaris and this time saw Ishi with Da and Anj.

Alden then went home to leave his yearbook. Then James left the group and headed for the arcade. Pat, Powee and I stayed for a little while then decided to follow him as well. Alden soon followed us, hehe they played billiards while i played run and gun2 haha it was kinda fun playing that old game after a long while.

Then headed for the mrt station with Powee. Powee was going southbound to Starmall, while I was going northbound coz im heading for home. So we split up as soon as we reached the station.

Arrived at my home and decided to edit this blog. I asked James to add a little window for an about me part and now I'm working on it. Im thinking of things to put in that place on your bottom left corner and also of a good color scheme for that littl part. I guess I'd be finished with it later.

Thought for the moment:
Hey she's pretty, too bad she's taken already...
