Essays

Saturday is usually a rest day for me and well today is no different.

I wkoe up at around 11:00 today. I guess my body was trying to make up for all its I started the day in front of the computer thinking about the topic of the essay that I am supposed to submit on monday for my english class. I came up with an essay about Ice hockey. The topic was already on the back of my mind ever since I heard about the essay assignment so I might as well use it. I was sitting in front of the computer thinking that I would summarize the tournament last october called octoberslam. I was thinking that it would be hard for me to come up with the ideas to write about so I made the essay outline showing the essay discussing the whole event and all of the games that I played in. But as soon as I started wrting a lot of ideas came flowing to my head that I realized that I wouldnt be able to discuss all three games so I just focused on one of them.

As I was about midway through my project. I saw that it was 4:00 pm so I left the computer and watched the Uaap games. I saw the FEU-NU game and saw the foul made by someone with 0.0 seconds left in overtime with the game tied. Oh well tough luck for NU i guess. Then afterwards I watched the Adamson- Ateneo game. I think this was the first time that I watched an Ateneo Game that didnt involve la salle. I saw the whole game, and saw the comeback made Ateneo. I guess it was also the first time that I actually rooted for ateneo. The game ended dramatically with an La tenorio stepback three with around 4 seconds remaining. After seeing that three go in I was quite pleased, haha it's actually a first time for me to be pleased with an ateneo win haha oh well I guss the school culture is getting inside my system now. :)

After the game, my dad asked me to get some medicine from the store. While I was going there I remembered that the Anime cd shop which I often visit was closing. I dropped by to say a quick goodbye to the salesclerks and wondered to myself where I'm gonna go to buy my anime cd's now, but more thatn that I think Im gonna miss Ate Reg since I dont have any "tambayan" in Rustans now hehe. It also reminded me of dataventure, a pc cd shop which was in rustans before. I used to stay there and befriend the sales clerk and even the owner but they had to close too. Oh well I wonder why my tambayans are closing ahahaha maybe I'm a jynx to their stores? hehe

Tryouts

Half day for me today. There was an academic convocation so classes from 1:30 to 6:00 were suspended.

When I was about to use the megatren to go to school, I got some bad news, they said that the train was not working so I had to wait. Thinking that it would take a long time to fix, I went back home to ask how to go to Ateneo without using the train. My Aunt said that I should ride a jeepney so I decided to do that. As I was walking to the jeepney station, I checked on the megatren and saw that it was fixed already so I just went and rode it instead of the jeep.

When I was in math class, dor some reason I was noisier than usual. I was even joking with my teacher and other members of the class who I am not really that close to. At least by doing that, Math 11 seems to become easier and the 1 hour and 30 minute class seems to shorten.

After math, Kathy, Rhea, Barbie, James, Hans, Luigi and I decided to eat out since most of us had things to do in school after lunch anyway. We went to Shakey's to eat. The fun part of the meal was when Barbie, Kathy and Rhea went to the ice cream bar. I had a lot of fun looking at them trying to pile more and more ice cream and toppings on the cup so that they would be able to maximize the price that they paid for it.

After eating we all headed to the library since Barbie wanted to finish her lesson plan and I had to be at the lib steps for the ride going to greenhills west for the celadon tryouts. 10 minutes before the agreed meeting time, I asked hans to accompany me to the steps since I didnt want to be like a loner there. Hans was nice enough to oblige and then we talked a bit until I was able to find the people who I am going to hitch a ride with.

During the tryouts, I was performing well in the shootaround, I was in rhytm so I felt a little confident. I was also quite happy to know that I wouldnt be going against 6 foot point guards and that even if im the smallest. Then we started the drills, luckily i was able to hit the easy lay up shots, haha even if they are easy, i was just able to elarn them a few months ago. Then a 3 on 3 scrimmage was done. We lost the game, but I was able to make some nifty passes and some nice shots. I guess I wont make the team but at least I was able to play a game, and meet some new people.

Oh well I guess the whole day was about basketball, After that I watched the Uaap game between adamson and dlsu, Darn la salle lost to them by 2 oh well, I guess it was really time for adamson to finally beat la salle darn...

That's all, hehe nothing really happened today hehe...

Soaking Wet

Thank God it's Friday

Pretty routine friday, hehe english and lit were good, physics lecture was boring and physics lab was nice, hehe. The physics lecture is making me a bit nervous. Since I get bored during the class, I end up falling asleep, so I'm missing out some notes. But I guess if i study the book i wont be missin much so I guess I gotta go read that book.

After the physics lab, I was supposed to head home to change before I go to galle for Pj's treat thingie. But then rain fell so hard that it was difficult for me to go to the caf from sec a. hehe then some of Pj's friends helped us by sharing their umbrellas unfortunately the rain was too strong so I ended up getting wet anyway hehe.

When it wasnt raining that hard anymore, I decided to commute and go home. When I was at the gate, I saw that the stairs of the overpass was flooded already hehe. While I was thinking about how to cross the road, Someone called my name and I saw Elise hehe we chatted a bit and after that it was back to thinkin about the road problem hehe. I solved it by deciding to cross on the farther end of the street instead of the usual overpass.

After a quick bath, I headed for gale using the Mrt. hehe its been a while since i last did it so I was kinda nostalgic when I rode it hehe. This route used to be pretty routine for me when I was still studying at lsgh hha oh well.

When I was at galle, I saw Anj, James, Da, and Alden. We went to Ice monster to sit and there talked about some stuff. After a while I saw Sha with some friends in the opposite table hehe, after a hi hehe I resumed talking to james. Then robin arrived but still no sign of pj and pat, haha since it was around 7:48 already we just decided to cancel the movie thingie. Finally Pj and Pat arrived hehe. And when they arrived we just decided to eat at pancake house.
0
After eating it was already around 10 so there wasnt much to do except go home. As usual I asked Pj to give me a ride and he agreed. We had fun on the way home since everyone was joking about things and such hehe oh well...

Thanks everyone (especially PJ) for a great evening.

Dear Boys

Ahh thursdays haha I like thursdays since I only have two subjects and both of those subjects are great.

Had a fun maath, we were  joking around with our teacher but we are learning hehe (well at least I hope we are learning). I guess it's the same with my filipino subject. The teacher is nice as long as you dont piss him off.

I guess I've pretty much formed my schedule for tuesdays,thursdays. At 11:00-12:00 I go to the shooting range, hehe. I saw a pretty familiar name when I was there I guess I came across it during one of my tests in dlsu oh well hehe. I also met a new friend hehe he was the guy shooting beside me hehe I guess its because we were able to talk about our difficulties in handling our respective guns that we were able to get along. and at 12:00 - 1:00, I play basketball with pat and friends hehe, during today's game i had a difficult time, hehe i wasnt able to play well, and caused a lot of turnovers for my team haha oh well...

1:30-3:00 is class hours for me. And 3:00-onwards is play time hehe. I go back to the cov courts to shoot some hoops. Had a whole court game and I guess I played pretty well, haha my confidence is way up now because of that game hehehe.

When I reached home, I started watching pat's copies of the anime dear boys, haha it was pretty cool since it is  an anime that deals with basketball, hehee I guess it's like an updated version of the slam dunk series hehe oh well this anime is really gettting me excited so that's all for now...

Math exams!!!

Today I had an exam in math...

I guess I was pretty nervous goin' to school since I didnt really study last night. Luckily I saw Mich's friend who had already taken her long test so I borrowed her test and studied haha... The test was easy but I guess I flunked the test, My mind wasn't really working well, and aslo the truth that I didnt study enough. Oh well I hope I get effort points or something like that.

After the test it was off to shooting practice, Damn I can't control my hand when Im standing I guess I need to improve my left arm's strength. I was hitting pretty ok during the bench shots so maybe it really is the arm problem.

After that we played some basketball and then class was next hehe.

Ok, I guess that's all for today...

Grandfather's House

We left the house to go to my grandfather's house for the "babang luksa" thingie.

Had nothing to do there except eat and read. I even brought the physics textbook since I knew that i won't be able to do anything there. Since I was bored, I asked my dad to accompany me in driving the car. Well, I SUCK at it big time, hehe I guess it's because I don't have practice anymore, I was ok in straight driving but when it comes to tackling corners hehe, my dad says that I have too much speed haha oh well.

When we arrived at our house. A taxi was blocking the driveway. It was there for so long that we decided to call the barangay office about it. When they arrived, they opened the car and saw that the keys were inside, So they decided to bring the car to camp crame i guess for further investigation.

I was watching the Uaap games and La Salle won over Feu YEAH!

Assemblies

Finally it's friday...

English was a success. Although I became a freeloader of the group for our presentation, I guess we were able to pull through, huge thanks to my groupmates, and I promise that I would help in other future tasks if there would still be...

after the lit and physics subjects, I was kinda excited to go to the celadon ga. But before that, Pat texted me and said that we should go to moro for the adidas sale. hehe so i went there,

At the sale, I saw the shirt design that I was looking for, I was kinda hopeful already but then found out that there was no smaller size darn oh well.

We went to the colayco pavillion and waited for th start of the GA. It started kinda late (i think) and I had to leave early so I wasnt really able to grasp the whole ga "experience" hehe oh well so much for excitement ahaha darn.

I was supposed to go to galle but I guess I became lazy so i didnt go anymore hehe

Shooting

Tuesdays, for some reason I like tuesday scheds hehe

We had math, I was still able to understand the math lessons which is always a good sign hehe, but i did have to trouble with the group work thingie. oh welpz

Then Anje and I went to the Arpt building. She went to fix her sched and I went to ask if my status was ok, well my status was fixed so I can now take part in the training thingie.

During lunch time, I couldnt resist the urge to shoot some hoops so even if i didnt have any extra shirt I still went and played hehe.

Then we had filipino class. We had a somewhat scary moment in class. when the prof suddenly snapped at one of my blockmates for her joke oh well, but overall I guess the class was pretty ok...

Then After filipino we went down to the ARPT building to shoot. At first I sucked at hitting the target, but my last 10 or so shots were already hitting the mark so I guess I was able to adjust pretty well.

Ateneo Lasalle

Well ateneo vs. lasalle today, green white fight!

First went to mass. After that I headed to the cd store to buy the first spiderman movie since I haven't watched it yet. When I went home, I watched the film I guess it was a nice movie hehe, Im gonna watch part 2 next week.

After the movie, it was time for the ateneo vs la salle basketball game. I still found myself cheering for la salle even though Im an atenean now, but during the game I also wanted ateneo to catch up to la salle arrgh Im torn ahaha. But I guess when La salle lost the game I didnt really feel nice about it so I guess Im still a bit more la sallian when it comes to uaap basketball games.

Green White Go fight, Green White fight!

Guidance Workshop

I had to go to ateneo today, Guidance workshop thingie.

Well the guidance workshop was over pretty quick. It was scheduled at 1:00 - 5:00 but it was over at around 4:00. During the workshop thingie I found out that I am an INFP, I am an Introvert (some blockmates dont believe this), an intuitive, a feeling and perceptive person ehehe. Well I dunno I guess the description does fit me.

After the workshop, I went with khristian and nikki to SBC. We joined up with Lace and Chris. Then all of us went to Mcdonalds and saw kathy and friends with Rhea. After that we went to Jolibee to meet up with James, Luigi, Hans and Vanjo. Didnt really stay with them since I wanted to go home quickly.

Well that's all I can say for the day, Nothing really happened anyway. Im pretty excited for tomorrow's game.

Guidance Test Part II

It was supposed to be a normal Wedenesday but I had to take the guidance testing part II.

I didnt know there was a guidance test later in the afternoon when I came to school today. Luckily some blockmates informed me about it so I was able to take it.

During the morning we had our English test, It was pretty ok since it was a test by partners. Lucky for me, my partner was good so he did most of the work hehe. Then Lit, We had a free cut for lit hehe a lucky day,

Then We had physics, Well what else can I say? It's still boring, Haha i guess its because of the teaching style or maybe i just lack the needed interest for the lesson.

After physics we were supposed to have our pe but it was another free cut, so i just spent it playing volleyball and basketball haha. So I still wasnt able to rest.

Then the guidance test, well it sucks since it consisted of around 450-500 questions and it was all true or false, which really hurts the eyes hehehe.

When I was going home, I saw Bea and Ape, hehe i chatted a bit with them and then headed for home...

Laziness

I haven't blogged for nearly a week now, I guess I got tired and lazy!

June 30,2004

A boring day!

I thought that we will have no classes since today was the inauguration of the President of the Philippines. Oh welpz, I guess since it was held in Cebu so it does not really affect the school.

Well we had a normal english class, which is quite boring as usual, hehe its boring but fun (hmm i dont know how you can say that though). Then we had a quiz in Lit, it was about the film naglalayag but it quite hard for me since I didnt really study the film in a way that sir remoto wanted me to. I viewed it thinking about characters and what they did and not really cared about the fictional strategies found on it. Oh well...

Then I went to the Org recruitment area in colayco hall, I signed up for celadon and well that's that hehe. I have an interview on July 1, 2004 (tomorrow) hehe.

Physics was next. Lucky for us our professor wasnt present so we had a free cut. After that I headed to the covered courts already and then played some basketball before Pe, then the instructor came and so I had to go to my pe class.

Well that's it for today. hehe

July 1, 2004

A fun math day. IT's just it was today that I realized that I have misplaced my math notebook so I had to write on pad paper oh well...

After math I went to Delacosta for my Celadon interview. I guess it was pretty ok. I got lucky since Mich was with me during the interview so I had a reason when they asked me why I joined the org. Hehe at least now I have an org.

After that we had the filipino class. Hmm it was very fun haha I even learned a new word. The word is Jantung, haha it means heart in one of those regional languages.

July 2,2004

Yey!! No classes today since it's faculty day.

Went to galle to meet up with some of my friends. I was with Pat and Anj for a little while and then Alden showed up. Hehe after talking a bit in front of the movie house, Anj had to leave and Alden went to watch a movie so Pat and I were left. We went to the arcade and played Some billiards. Then we decided to go to Linkshot to play NBA live. We had a pretty nice game. hehe His team had a double digit lead which I was able to catch up but a jumper in the dying seconds decided the game in his favor.

Then powee and james arrived and we played billiards with them. After that we ate at max. After eating the group already split up. Powee was kind enough to take me home and lend me the Harry Potter book 5 to boot hehe...
July 3, 2004

A very useless day hehe. I just spent it at home reading the harry potter book that powee lent me. I guess I spent around 6 hours just reading the book it was pretty ok, hehe but sometimes I wanted to turn to the last parts of the book to find out the ending already since i got quite curious. After those 6 hours I was in the 27th chapter , 12 more chapters and Im done!

July 4,2004

Another dull day...

I spent the day reading the book and I finished the 12 remaining chapters in the harry potter book. The book was nice, it has a nice mix of suspense, comedy and even a little romance. hehe

After that I went to mass and bought some shirts after the mass. I guess I realized that I really needed some new clothes since I didnt have any uniform in school hehe and I was just rotating around 12 shirts hehe.

July 5, 2004

I hate it when it's monday, haha Im too lazy to get up and study.

I had english class, Our professor told us that on wednesday we would have a test. Damn what news to start the day hehe. After that we had Literature and we needed to meta-critic our classmates paper. Hmm I guess what hindered me from writing a good criticism was the idea that I wasnt able to write anything better, si what right do i have to criticize his paper? hehe

Then we had physics class. It had no improvements as far as boredom is concerned hehe. I saw some blockmates head's bobbing already fighting the urge to sleep. We then had a quiz there haha I think i failed that quiz since I was really unprepared and my mind doesnt work really nice when im that bored hehehee.

Then we had intact classes, I guess more bad news, we have to go to the school on saturday for the guidance testing thingie oh well...

Then I went to the covered courts to play some basketball and then i had pe classes. After pe I played basketball again with some of my blockmates. Then Pat came and we played some 1 on 1 hehe then I headed for home since it was nearly 5:30pm already and I wanted to have some rest

July 6, 2004
Had my math class today, the prof said we were supposed to have a quiz but it fizzled so we just had lectures and exercises hehe. After math i went to the Arpt for my interview. There was more bad news when I was there. There would be an Orsem for the arpt training on Sunday so that would mean that I would stay in ateneo for the whole week man!!! no rest for me i guess hehe...

Then we had our filipino class, it was fun even though we started the period with a short quiz. Hehe I guess I did pretty ok with the quiz anyway since I listened during thursday's discussion.

After filipino I went to the covered courts to play some hoops. I guess Im really getting a lot of exercise since it is almost everyday that I play ball hehe.

A bad thing though, the katipunan station of the mrt had some trouble. Its no problem when Im going home since I can just ride the jeep, but I still wonder how I am going to go to school tomorrow Oh well...
