Injury...

Again didnt really feel like going to class.

Well had math 11 today. It was ok I guess. I still understand the lessons. I just hope that when the long tests and the finals come I'd still be able to remember and undserstand them...

Went to the range to shoot hhaha, After one week of not holding a pistol I guess I was bound to suck ahaha. My hand was trembling, my shot was scattered and without direction, hehe A good thing that the try-outs is still late September so that means I still have time to improve.

Then went to the cov courts to play. After some basketball with Vanjo and his IAC teammates I went to watch the N vs N1 basketball game. I guess I got kinda bored hehe not to mention envious of watching them play that I just played some soccer with Vanjo and his friends.

That's where it happened, when I was trying to play with the ball I did a move and stepped on the ball. I twisted my right foot and now I can't move it that well, It is quite painful damn. Hehe I guess I shouldnt play soccer when Im wearing basketball shoes ahahaah.

Then we had our filipino class. We were discussing a poem that was written by our classmate. For some reason I had an idea on who the classmate was. Delcenore Dunford II turned out to be Michelle Castillo and I was right ahaha.

After the Class I met up with Val and gave her the book Heart of Darkness. And then I decided to go home early.

It was pretty hard limping along katipunan to the megatren station. I should have taken a trike but then I thought that the injury wasnt that bad. When I reached home, I was pretty early so I just slept first hehe. When I woke up that's when the right foot hurted the most. It's been somthered with painkiller thingies now so it doesnt hurt that much, but I do wonder if I'll be able to play tomorrow...

Thought for the day:
just you and i can find the answer,
and then we can run to the end of the world...

Steppin out on an Ordinary Sunday

Slept at 3 am then woke up at 8. damn

Had to rush to go to mass. Of course I came in late well actuallty very late oh well ehehe. After the mass the whole family went to kfc to eat breakfast hehe kinda like eating out with them. Its very rare that my dad is here in manila so its not that often that I go out. hehe of course eating out with the family means food without me paying for it wahahaa.

After that we went to shopwise to buy some groceries. It didnt really take that long since we already boguht most of the stuff yesterday. After shopping I got the grocery bag and went home already. I guess I still needed to fix some intact stuff. I typed a bit and well it's done ahaha.

I went to Ali Mall to have it printed. After printing I strolled around a bit and finally found another store which sells the unlimited prepaid internet card ahaha yehey. Now I'm back online! ahaha

Then went home and chatted my life away hahahaha. Well not really, I guess I did do some schol work by downloading study guides for Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Dont get me wrong Im really someone who loves reading but then the novel is too detailed and too image rich that it gets hmm shall i say satiating and boring reading it ahaha.

Goin to Makati...

Supposed to be a boring saturday...

I woke up at around 8:00 I played some games in the computer and then read some stuff. It was pretty much a very boring day for the most part until I chatted at around 3pm.

There were some chatmates who are gonna meet up at Makati and they asked me to come. At first I didnt want to go since I was too lazy but then most of the people in the house are leaving so I decided to go out too.

When i was in Makati, I spent most of the time going around looking for the Starbux in G3. It's because the text I received was G3, found out later that it was supposed to be GB3 ahaha. Went to Starbux in Greenbelt and met some of my chatmates. I guess I stayed til around 8:30 but then I had to leave since I was going to do somethin else oh welpz... I guess it's too bad since they said that two really beautiful people joined them ahahaha darn

After finishing the things I was supposed to do, I went online in Ym I chatted with kaye til around midninght ahaha had great fun chatting with her. Then I went online in Irc, of course that's where the people started making me envious for not meeting the other people oh well.

Fridays...

Didnt feel like going to school today

Well after a two day break i guess its pretty normal to say that im too lazy for the last day of the week ahaha. But well there's classes so I had to go.

Had a test in english, i think we didnt do well in our test. We cannot find the proper fallacies in the article given to us oh welpz. Then we had lit. well I dont know just discussed some lit stuff (duh?) then Physics ahaha thermodynamics thingie! Yehey I got a perfect score thanks to the ideas of Iking Feleo and Ms. Yky Boncodin. Then we had Lab which was pretty ok, As usual I was no use to my group except for some very minor answers.

Then I waited in the Zoology lab. I was talking with Chino, Khristian, Muti, April, Joan and Tal. Hehe just playing around with them and wasting my time. I was actually waiting for Khristian since we would go to the Idg later in the afternoon.

I went to the IDG. It was ok but there were some parts that I wasnt able to see ahaha. I left at around 7:30 and got home by 8. Then I chatted as usual ahaha. hehe pretty boring day

2 in a Row!

I went to school today!

...There were no classes!

I woke up kinda late considering it was Thursday and I have a 9:00 class. I didnt realize that there were no classes so I still got up and went to Ateneo. I actually entered the school grounds but then I realized that there was no one ahaha kinda stupid.

I just called up MM and hanged around in the ISO dorm. I chatted with her a bit and then left for home ahaha. On the way home Pat texted me about a galleria trip. At first I was willing to go, but as soon as I reached the house I felt tired and bored so I just told them that I won't go.

I was asleep most of the time. But when I was awake I played Shining Force. I was able to finally finish the game hehe yehey!

Anywayz, chatted til late night again I think there would be classes tomorrow!

No Classes...

The rain was kinda strong today and luckily the school cancelled classes from 9:30 am onwards.

That was the first (hopefully not the last) suspension of classes due to bad (is it really bad for me?) weather that I got in my college life. Although it was kinda sucky since I only had 2 classes today anyway, just english and literature from 9:30 to 11:30. But still, staying in bed a bit longer than usual and not going to school at all was better than going to school today.

Went up and down (hmm back and forth arr ewan) with the car in the garage. I really think something is wrong with it but I just cant put a finger on it. Oh well I think my dad's coming home on Sunday so I'll just ask him to check it out.

I chatted and downloaded stuff all day. I'm now addicted to the game on the gba called Shining Force 2: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon. It's a turn based strategy/rpg game that has a neat story. It ate most of my time today. hehee oh well.

When it was around 4:30 I decided to sleep. I always thought that there are two best things to do during rainy or cool weather. One of them was sleeping (which I did) and the other one was cuddling with your special someone (which I couldn't do ehehe since Ive got no special someone yet).

Woke up at around 7:30. I fixed some stuff for school tomorrow. I think there would be classes already although it's still a bit rainy. Anywayz, I read the poems (sa aking iniibig) of my classmates in filipino. I was amazed at how great my classmates are in writing poems. Kinda felt like my own creation wouldnt be able to stand against them oh welpz haha.

For Me:
Lonliness...
Your Silent Whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory...
You Never Let Me Cry
And You... You Never Said Goodbye

For now I will try to live for you
And for...
I will try to live;
Try to live the love, the dreams,And finally, the tears.

Ateneo vs La Salle (part 2)

Today is the second round of Ateneo vs La Salle. And I have lowerbox tickets ehehe.

I woke up pretty late. I guess I got up at around 11:45 already. Maybe it's because I slept 5:30 hehe. So after a quick bath, I went to Millenium Cafe and had my stuff for english and filipino printed since i didnt have a printer. Then I went to a photocopying shop to have my filipino poem copied for the class.

After that I went back home to deposit my stuff. I played some games first since I didnt really live that far from araneta. I was thinking that I would arrive late since I didnt really want to watch the first game. But then I decided to goearly for some reason ehehe.

Then I saw Alden. I went around with him a bit and met up with Ishi and Mica. We had to split up since we had different tickets so oh well. When I entered the coliseum I was thinking that I would remain a neutral fan. But of course I didnt realize that being neutral wouldnt be easy.

During the course of the game, I kept on cheering for la salle. But then I wasnt really la salle all the way since I found myself cheering for ateneo as well. Although I felt happy that La Salle won, I did feel some hmm sadness that my school lost.

I guess that's the thing with me now. I can never be a complete winner (or loser) whenever Ateneo plays against La Salle (at least in Basketball). I find myself cheering for both schools and of course one of them is bound to lose in order for someone to win.. Hayy

ANywayz, Im gonna do some highlighting stuff for my english thingie now, so I guess I'll blog again later.

Sa Aking Iniigbig

It's 3 am I must be lonely...

Nah not really, I just needed to do a poem for my filipino class and revise my C+ feature article essay for english. Since My day today (Sunday) seems busy I guess I just decided to do them early (literally)...

Well here's the poem:


Sa aking Iniibig
Ako. Ang Babae -
Lunod sa lungkot at pangulila.
Ikaw. Ang lalake -
Ang aking tagapagpaligaya, ang aking kalaro

Lumalagablab ang ating mga damdamin.
Umiinit ang mga paghaplos at paghipo ng ating mga kamay.
Umaalab ang matinding pagindak sa dilim nang ating mga katawan.
Sa tuwing naglalaro tayo ng apoy.

At tulad sa mga aral ng mga nakakatanda.
Tayo nga ay nalalapnos at napapaso ng init.
Ngunit hindi iniinda ang alab at init.
Ating tinutuloy ang paglalaro sa baga.

Midterm Advisory...

Yey thank God it's Friday!

I woke up kinda woozy since I didnt really have that much sleep. I was up all night revising my feature article essay. I didnt want to stop since the ideas might dry up so I just worked on and on until I realized that it was 2:00 am already oh welpz.

We had a test during english class. It was about the fallacy thingie. It was an "open-notes" exam but then I didn't have notes. Luckily it was by partners so we were able to get a copy of the notes. We were able to score 17 out of 20. Not bad I guess. hehe Then we had a discussion in lit class. It was pretty routine though so its really nothing to talk about.

After that we had our physics class. During the first part of the subject we had an exercise of some sorts. Since it was an individual thing I had to stay awake. After the exercise thingie there was a lecture. Now even if we had a different teacher I still found myself falling asleep so maybe its not the teacher or the subject hehe maybe it's just me.

Then since it was friday there was a physics lab thingie. We went to the lab and found out that it was locked. We waited for about 20 minutes and then left. Hehe Yey a free cut in lab!

I then headed to bel for my midterm advisory grade. Well I was quite disappointed to see that there were only three grades in the paper. Oh well at least the grades were not bad A B in physics a C+ in math and another C+ in Fil. Oh well I don't think I can base my grades there though since it is very much incomplete oh well.

I waited for some of my other blockmates to finish their nat sci labs. Then I went with Muti and hanged around the caf a bit. We were talking bout some stuff until her ride fetched her. When I was alone I hooked up with my HS friends and chatted a bit. After a few minutes I decided to leave the campus already.

I'm supposed to be doing a Filipino poem but I don't have inspiration yet oh well. Hehe maybe tomorrow(later) I'll do it hehehe. I guess I'll get some inspiration from the boysbe anime series that I'm watching while typing this. oh well...

Quezon City Day

August 19 is Quezon City day, hehe since ateneo is considered to be in qc, then that means i dont have classes.

I woke up at around 7 am, I was supposed to go to lsgh but then I got lazy so I just decided to sleep again ahaha. When I woke up it was 9 am already and we were supposed to meet at 9. hehe i texted Pat and said that I would arrive late but then he said that it was cancelled already so ok ahaha. We are just gonna go to Galleria at 2.

Since it was still pretty early I just played and chatted on the pc. I guess I didnt really notice the passing of time since the next thing I know, it was 1:30 already and I have not taken a bath yet. So I texted them saying I was going to be late ahaha.

Arrived in Gale at around 2:20, saw James and Pat playing NBA live in Netopia. I watched them first and saw how James' Sonics easily defeated Pat's mavericks. After that I played against James. I used Houston and he used the Celtics. Well James was also able to defeat me by a pretty big margin haha oh welpz.

As we were leaving netopia, we saw Iking and now there were four of us hehe. We went to Skybowl and played some billiards. I did have a pretty ok game but well pat and I lost to the team of Iking and James ehehe. After a while Alden came and then there were five of us. We played some killers and well its ok ahaha.Thanks to james for paying.

After playing we went to PIzza hut to eat. I guess we had some fun talking about stuff hehe. I guess in a way we were reminiscing bout high school days ahaha. Oh welpz. Thanks again to james for paying.

Then after some strolling in the mall. James had to leave. The four of us (Alden.Iking,Pat and I) went to linkshot to play. We played 30 minutes of counterstrike ahaha. I know it's pretty old but it was still pretty fun. Ahaha Im not as good as I was before though oh welpz.

I hitched a ride with Iking. hehe we were on his black altis and I guess we mostly talked about cars. haha I really wanna drive my own car. But I guess I still need more practice oh welpz.

Now I'm here blogging and editing my C+ essay. After a while I guess I'll disconnect and study for the test in English tomorrow ahaha. but I really dont know. Knowing myself, i'd probably not study and just chat and play ahahaha.

Losing...

Yeye wednesday, It's quezon city day tomorrow so that means I wont have classes Yeah!

I received the grades of my midterms and my feature article essay for english. My midterm grade was pretty ok (40/50) but I wasn't happy about my essay grade. I was only able to get a C+ for the paper I submitted. Oh well luckily we are allowed to revise the essay that we made. I think with the suggestions given I would be able to make something worthy of a B to an A (hehehe I can hope right?).

We had a free cut in literature so Yeah! hehe I went to the caf and played some cardgames. First played some monkey-monkey with my english blockmates and then with khristian and his zoo blockmates. After lunchtime I went to the physics room only to find out that we have another free cut fotr the day hehe.

So I went to the library and finshed reading the book "Naomi". It was a great book, but then the ending did leave me a bit hanging. I guess I spent about an hour or so in the library reading the remaining parts. And after reading it. I went to the covered courts for my pe.

I was a bit early so i played some basketball with pat first. After that we had a test in pe. I guess I did pretty ok since I knew some of the rules in volleyball. After PE I played a little bit more basketball and broke some of my nails while playing damn.

After that I went to the HR Ga of ACtm. I met a few people and played in the game but I wasnt really able to stay since I had to go and prepare for the debate thing for english block.

Well the debate sucked for me. I choked when it was my turn to speak. I wasnt able to say my thoughts clearly. We were totally outclassed by our opponents. I guess it was also pretty difficult since we were on the affirmative side of something that i dont agree upon so i dunno ahaha oh well i really really hate losing.

Winless

Aww man mondays ahahaha daym!

Usual stuff, we had this class activity for english on fallacies then discussed some stuff. Lit was ok I guess, I recieived my papers and was kinda disappointed at how low my grades were, oh well...

We had a substitute teacher for our physics class. We had a group work thingie. Hehe well at least I was awake during the whole class ahahaa...

Then Intact, nothing much really happened there hehe. I wonder why I even write about it here ahaha.

After Intact I had my Pe classes. Well It sucks, we lost again during the games. Our record now is 0-3. OUr last game was difficult since there were only four of us playing. But it aint really an excuse since even if there were just four of us, we were able to make the 1st set a tightly contested one. oh wellpz. I really hate losing...

Sleep all day

Because of the exposure trip and party thingie yesterday I guess I got really tired.

I was so tired but I slept at around 3 am so I woke up at around 12:30 already ahaha. I just chatted and watched tv the whole day.

This is a super worthless post wahahahaha....

Thought for the Day:
Can You be My Shining Star tonight?

Contrasts...

Yesterday was filled with so many activities hehehe.

I woke up at around 4:30 am since I had to go to ateneo for the exposure trip thingie. I arrived in ateneo at around 6:30. I saw James, so we just went around the campust together. We went to the cornfields and waited for our other blockmates hehe.

We left the school grounds at around 7:40. We rode a jeep to antipolo. The trip was pretty much ok. I was in a jeep containing Me, Euric, Micho, Michelle, Jelena, Micci, Ralph, Hans, Miah, Pao, Loren and the three AB IS people (sorry forgot their names except for Aldo). We were having fun inside the jeep until we recieved a text that the other jeep containing our other blockmates broke down.

Our jeep dropped us first in pan de manila and returned to fetch our other blockmates. We ate ice cream, chicharon and of course pan de sal and kidded each other that this was already the feeding that we were supposed to do. Instead of feeding the children we were feeding ourselves ehehe.

When our jeep came back. We resumed our trip to the place. The place was kinda far, almost on the outskirts of town already oh well. It was a small hmm village that was really battered. It was really poor and it really lacked some of the basic stuff that people need in order to live a "liveable" life.

I got paired up with an 11 year old kid named romalyn. At first she was very shy and wasnt too keen in speaking to me. BUt I guess I was able to finally make her talk so we did bond a bit ahaha. During the feeding part I guess she wasnt really that hungry since she didnt go for a second serving. After that we went inside the day care and played with each other. We played tongits with the other kids and some of my blockmates and I guess we were pretty good since we won hehehe. After a little bit mor talking we went back to ateneo. The trip back home wasnt really that eventful since most of us were kinda tired from waking up early after the midterms so most of us in the jeep were asleep.

When we reached ateneo Ralph, Pao and I went down at the gate and walked to mcdonalds. Pao went somewhere else though so Ralph and I were the ones left. Hehe I guess the two of us bonded a bit and talked about some stuffs ahaha. Michelle and Khristian also came to mcdo afterwards and the four of us chatted a bit. Then Ralph's groupmate Sophia came and ralph had to leave our company. I guess this seemed like a good time to leave so I went up and left and headed for home.

When I reached home I guess I was too tired so I just slept. I guess I was asleep from 2:00 to 5:00. When I woke up I guess I was very fortunate to turn on my yahoo messenger since it was where pat told me about Ishi's Surprise party.

So I quickly texted Pj and took a bath. We were supposed to meet at Gale so that Pj can pick me up and we can head to eastwood. I was able to go to galleria at around 6:05. i was earlier than Pj so Pj just asked me to buy the cake. Hehe we bought a blueberry cheesecake for the party thingie. Then pj arrived and we were off to eastwood.

We met up with alden, mica, pat, da, jp,cat and mela. We were going around thinking about where we were going to eat. Then Angeli came followed by Anj and then I thought we were complete already. We decided to go to Westlake. Then we were notified that Ishi was there already. We were pretty much excited by the surprise thingie but suddenly it rained! ahaha i guess the rain kinda dampened the surprise effect when Ishi came but it was a neat surprise still.

After that we were supposed to go to dampa to eat. But well the rain kinda made it hard for us to go there. Ahaha Hassle pala ang eastwood kapag umuulan. Anywayz I rode in Alden's car with angeli, jp and cat. We had a great time joking with each other there until we finally reached dampa.

At first I was kinda hesitant to eat since Im really not much of a seafood person. But then the Baked tahong was great so I just indulged in the seafood thingies haha.

Now that I look at the things i wrote about Ishi's party thingie, I guess its too lacking hehe. It wasnt able to show the fun that I had during that time. All the jokes and stuff. Hehe I really enjoyed it. Oh well hehe. Happy Birthday ISHI!

But then I guess the day showed a huge contrasts between the lives of the people here in our country. During the morning when I was in the exposure trip. I was able to see the very difficult lives of the people there. But then when I was in Eastwood I saw how people can live extravagantly and live very comfortably. I guess there really is something wrong, something very wrong when there is such a big contrast in the way the people are living...

And all this time I act so brave, Im shaking inside...

MIDTERM MADNESS!

Math midterms RARRR!!!!

I went to B-309 kinda early. I was hoping that the classroom would be empty so I can study some math. Well that wasn't the case since there was a class being held there already oh welpz. We just had an activity in english about fallacies. But then it was also the time when I was suddenly put in the list for the debate thingie hahaha oh well, Van and Sleena seem good in debating so I guess they would be able to carry me during the tournament.

During literature we just had a class discussion, I was stealing some time in LIt by studying a bit for my midterms though hehehe. Our prof in physics was kind enough to dismiss us early but then we still had a lab class afterwards.

We were hoping that we would have a free cut for lab since the teacher was not there. Unfortunately for us ther was a substitute so we still had to do some lab oh well darn.

After physics i went to the caf to do some last minute studying hehehe. I guess I really wanted to do well for my midterms.

I think I failed the midterm test that I took. though it was not really that difficult. I guess I just succumbed to the pressure that's why I didn really do well. I just hope that sir Briones would give me a whole lot of partial points for my solutions wahahaha.

After the damned midterms I quickly went home. On the Mrt station I saw some of my math blockmates so I talked a bit with them. Upon reaching home, I went online to chat hehe. I saw anix online and I guess I just teased her until around 12. I disconnected pretty early since I had to sleep coz Im going on an exposure trip tomorrow oh welpz.

Eve of the math midterms

Ok I was hoping today would be pretty light since tomorrow would be the math midterms.

Well I guess I got what I wished for. Math was basically a free cut, just a review session. Then we had a quiz in Filipino but It wasnt that difficult so I guess it's ok.

I didnt play basketball during the afternoon I wanted to go home early so that I can study for my math midterms ehehehe.

Arrived home around 3:30. I didnt want to dive into math instantly so I decided to play and chat a bit. I guess I procrastinated too much since I was able to start studyin around 7 40 hehehe. I basically just did a run through on my notes and then did some problems. It wasnt pure studying though since I was eating and chatting and reading some other stuffs hehe. I think I finished studying at around 11:00. Oh well I hope this works for tomorrow.

After that I went online to relax and chat a bit. I originally planned to chat for a while and then study my notes again, But of ourse I wasnt able to follow it wahahaha. rarrr

Oh well Goodluck to all who wil take the math 11 midterms tomorrow.

Lucky

I started today kinda disappoionted for some reason.

When I was in the classroom reading my book, I was a bit sad. I dont have a reason though. Just one of those days I guess. I was actually thinkin that I would be like this for most of the days but I guess God didnt want it to happen that way.

First off, there was this speaker for our english class. He was speaking pretty well and giving funny examples which actually amused me so it did kinda lift my mood hehe. And then after a few hours, lit came. I guess the momentum of the fun english class. I guess even sir remoto seemed to be in a happy mood ahaha.

After classes I met up again with pat at faura. I had to pay him for the copy of dear boys that he burned for me so I just decided to buy his food. We were going around the campus til we saw the basketball shootout thingie. We decided to play there later haha.

After a while it was time for physics class. The class was ok. Its boring but I was able toforce myself to push the pen in order to write some notes ehehe. I guess the books that Vanjo had were good tools in helping me be awake. Before the end of the class, Ms. Villanueva gave a copy of the midterm grades. I looked and was quite pleased to see that I was able to get a B ahaha. Yay! I hope I would be able to raise that grade to a B+ before the term ends.

After Physics Vanjo and I headed to the Shoot-out area. At first I was kinda hesitant to join in since I might not be able to get past 10 but luckily the guy before vanjio shot a measly 2 so I guess it did relieve some pressure of me. After Vanjo's 9 points came my turn. In the1 minute that was alloted I was able to make 17, I guess it aint bad for someone like me who hasnt really practiced the skill of shooting ehehe.

Then I went to the Cov courts to play some basketball again. After a few rounds of bente uno a guy came up to us for a 5 on 5 game. I participated and was actually very stat conscious during the game although i didnt show it waahahah. I was able to score 4 points out of 11 hehe not bad I guess. My first point came from a steal against someone. I took the ball right in front of him and converted on a lay up ahahaha. Then my next point came with sytyle. It was an up and under move against a taller defender with outstretched arms, after making that shot I guess I got a big boost in my confidence. During the game I was able to make nifty passes but sometimes my teammates were not able to convert so I guess my passses were not really that great ahha. oh well But one thing good during the game even if we lost was that I was able to defend pretty well. I really didnt mind if it was a girl or a tall guy but I kept on "hawking" the ball handler. This led to some turnovers and I'm quite proud of that ahaha.

Then I had Pe. Well we played a game and lost it. WE still dont have a win! My play is getting a wee bit better but I guess my errors are still large. I need to concentrate more and focus ahaha.

After the Pe class. I went to the ACTM math 11 midterms review thingie. I was kinda disappointed that my crush didnt attendbut still the review session was a great learning experience for me. I just hope that I would be able to apply them in my midterm exam.

Then after the review session I went around the campus looking for pat. He told me to go to the speed room but he wasnt there. I did meet Alden, Erica(tama ba spelling?)Bambie, and Anix though. After a lil chat with alden I went out and saw pat with justin ehehe. Talked with them for a little while until Pat had to go home since his ride was there already. After that, Justin and I went back to the speedroom and talked with alden again. After a few more minutes I went home ehehe.

I guess today was a pretty cool day, What I thought would be a depressing day turned into somthing that I really enjoyed.

Chijin No Ai...

The title of this post was taken from the book by Junichiro Tanizaki.

The day started with a math review. We didnt have new lessons but we had a review. I was kinda disappointed that the tests werent returned today. Although I failed that test, Im still curious on how low a score I got. After math

I went over to the Arpt range for my training. my hand is getting more and more stable now but well my squeezing is suffering, oh well I hope things work out well next time. Im really working on my arm now, Im lifting a dumbell almost everyday for 30 minutes just to strengthen my left arm. I hope it works.

After Arpt I went to the cov courts to play some basketball. I guess Im still selfish when I play but Im becoming more and more conscious about passing. Im becoming someone who not only wants to be a great scorer, but a great passer as well. I want to make crisp and exact passes to teammates so that they would be able to score easily hehe oh well.

After playing basketball I went to my filipino class. I guess Im really starting to enjoy this class. I find myself being challenged by the literary works that we are taking up. Our professor, is also quite good in explaining points to us. Although he is moody , he does lighten up quite easily so its ok.

I was supposed to meet MM after class, but she was busy so I just decided to nix the idea. Instead I went over to the library and continued reading Chijin No Ai (Naomi). I guess spent about an hour there just reading the book. Ididnt want to borrow it since I decided that I wanted to read it in the library. Probably because the silence of the library would enable me to focus more on the very amusing story.

Anywayz Chijin No Ai... The book said that Chijin no Ai literally meant a Fool's Love. I guess Bambie and I still talked about it since according to her Chijin meant something like friend. But I looked it up in the online dictionary and found out that it did mean friend but it could also mean fool to so No point in debating about it ehehe. Anywayz, the book said they changed the title to Naomi in the English version since Chijin No Ai, or A fool's love doesnt really sound too good as a book title (oh well I kinda like A fool's love better).

Chijin No Ai - A fool's love. Could it be that a fool's love it is similar to extreme infatuation? Or is a fool's love an addiction? a crush? a case of an unreachable love? I really have no idea. But for me, I guess I wont mind acting like a fool in love. I wouldnt mind being a fool just as she is happy. I guess the only problem is there is no one yet in my life that I would become a fool for. Maybe I am still being quite idealistic or being overly romantic but to someone who hasnt really tasted love, i guess even he would be envious of a fool's love...

Midterms...

Today I got my first taste of midterms.

As usual I went up to my classroom very early. I saw that there was no one using the room so I just went inside and sountripped. After about 30 minutes or so, the people started coming in and class was about to start. We were scheduled to have our english midterms today, but since ms. sideco said that there was no need to study , I didnt do anything for it ehehe,

Well the test was pretty ok. There were some difficult parts but overall it was ok i guess. I think i did pretty bad in it even if it wasnt that hard. I guess my mind wasnt in the right state when I took it so oh well.

We had a free cut for literature so I just went to the library and read some stuff. I was kinda frustrated that the Book Naomi (true title:Chijin No Ai) was not yet returned, So I just picked up another book and started reading until I got tired ahaha. So I went to Faura and met up with Pat and well he treated me to a pizza and drinks wahaha, so thanks Pat. After that I went back to faura for my physics class.Well it was very boring ahaha (rarr I guess I havent said anything else about it) but at least this time I was awake.

After physics we had Intact, During intact it was announced that we were going to have a reach out thingie on saturday. After intact I went down to the University press to buy my book for our filipino class. It was a book that contains two stories hehe so it was pretty expensive oh welpz.

Then we played our first game for the tournament in pe. Unfortunately for us, we lost to our opponents big time rarr I hate losing oh well rarr.

An off handed thought. I guess the term "midterms" doesnt really hit me as the term for the tests that are taken. I guess its literally the middle of the term and it amuses me that I have already reached this time as a college student. it's fun since I enjoyed the 1st part of the 1st semester, I just hope that it wuold be the same for all the following sems in my college life. :)

ordinary sunday...

Sndays. Usually I just attend mass and then stay at home and chat all day. Well today is no exception.

I went to Ali Mall to hear mass today. I was a little late arriving only during the start of the homily oh well.The priest was one of my favorites but I already forgot his name ahahaha oh well. He's always good in his homliy sermons which makes him my favorite.

Ater the mass I went back home to play some computer games and chat. I guess I got kinda tired of chatting and playing that I just decided to watch the game between FEU and Ateneo. The game turned out to be a great one. At first I thought that it would be an Ateneo blow out win since they were ahead during half time, BUt well feu came storming back and set the game up for a great ending. An La tenorio three-pointer was the basket that allowed ateneo to break a deadlock. Hehe I really like plays where players are courageous enough to take a go ahead basket with the game on the line oh well.

Anywayz after tha game, I just went to the computer to chat and play some more. I have a midterm exam for english tomorrow but my prof said that there's no need to study for it so Im just following her and not studying ahaha oh well.

I Love You Sabado...

I was suppose to attend a General Assembly with the dean but it was postponed so today is a good day to relax.

Started the day playing the computer. But then Pat messaged me about a gale thingie so I now had something to do for the afternoon.

Left the house at around 3, we were scheduled to meet at 3 but i told them that i would arrive late. Kinda funny that when I arrived only Alden was in gale. Oh well haaha Filipino time I guess. We spent the afternoon in the movie theater lobby. We were just standing there waiting for everyone. Everyone means Alden,Anj,Cat,Da,Ishi,Me,Mica,Pat and Pj. When everone came we started talking until they went to Kfc. Pat, Alden and I decided to go sumwer else first. Alden went to neutral grounds while Pat and I went to National Bookstore. We were searching for some books but unfortunate;y for us we weren't able to find it. After that we all went back to kfc to meet up with the everyone.

After Kfc they went to some shops at the second floor. Pat and I left again to grab a copy of Chalk mag. When we returned Cat said that she was leaving already so that's minus one for our group. After that we went around gale again and basically just wasted time looking at the shops hehe. When we were back at the lobby Anj had to leave already so that means another loss for the group ehehe.

We then headed to Pizza hut to eat.Pat took care of the bill so I guess I should thank him here, hehe tahnks Pat We were having such a graet time that we decided to ring the bell after we ate ehehe. Then we were off to Skybowl to play some billiards. I suck at it ahahaha I wasnt able to hit any good shots oh welpz. Anywayz saw Funz on the other table hehe kinda like a chatroom eb thingie ahaha. Well the bill was payed for by Pj so A thanks you to Pj.

When it was time to go home. It was Pj was kind enough to take us home. we were having fun on the way home with the story telling and picture taking thingies going on ahaha. I also found out that mica lived pretty near to my house ehehee. Well anywayz a big thank you to Pj for kindly taking me home.

Breaking the Ice...

Yeah! Finally it's Friday!

English was ok, I listened to the essays of my blockmates and its making me more and more ashamed of my own work. I guess I'll just use it as an inspiration so that when I revise my work it would be a whole lot better.

My literature class sucked big time! We had a quiz on comparing Candide to 19th century Philippine Literature. Although I have read the novel and had a little understanding of the characteristics of the literature during the 19th century, I still found it quite difficult to compare and and contrast the two of them. I guess I'll flunk that test darn.

I went to faura early and saw Butch. I got a couple of stories by Juichiro Tanzaki (or sumthing like that ahaha) and I guess they're pretty well written. Maybe Im just a bit biased since it tackles japanese culture thingies but then they really are pretty great. I guess I spent most of the time in Physics lecture reading the book darn im really rude at my teacher tsk tsk.

After lecture we had physics lab. But since the doors were locked everyone thought that it was a free cut, but after about 20 minutes the prof came so we had lab activity with almost half the class missing. But then people came back to the room, except our groupmates so we just decided to merge with another group haha.

After that I went to the caf with khristian. I met his friend Muti and well Im kinda regretting that i did ahaha joke. Muti is an Amazon! wahahaha well my arm is still hurting from her pinching and slaps ahaha. Kinda like Maricor. I wonder why all my shs friends are like that hahahaha.

I also met Billy! Finally Ive seen him after a long time hahaa. It was great since it was also his bday today. Happy Birthday Bill!

Then off to the Colayco Pavillion for the dg. I guess it was pretty ok, I met some of my chatmates ahaha. Had some fun at the breaking the ice game and we actually won so it was all good yeah. Too bad I couldnt stay and finish it since we had the play thingie for Filipino oh well hehe.

The play Bombita was pretty great. Very funny dialogues. It was a very funny comedy although sometimes there are corny lines but the way the actors portrayed it it still turned out ok. Too bad I wasnt really able to fully grasp the ending but still I cant say I did not enjoy the play.

The only bad thing about the play was that it finsihsed at 9:10 ahaha. I was almost running to the mrt station only to find out that it was closed already. I met Riva and we just rode a jeep home instead. Oh well I really thought that the Mrt was still open until 9 50m, and I reached the station at around 9:30 ahaha oh well a lesson learned I guess.

Connect the Dots

I was too lazy to go to school today but well we have a physics exam so I had to go.

When I woke up, I saw that my fone had a message. It said that we had a free cut for english since our prof. had allergy. I was kinda happy since we also had a free cut in Literature so that means that I can go to school as late as 12:30.

But for some reason I went to school at my normal time. Knowing we had a free cut I just decided to stay on the different classsrooms of my friends. I went to Alden's classroom and met some people hehe. Then Alden said he wanted to go to the speed room so I just decided to follow him.

In the speed room, I saw Anix and her friends, kinda fun since I was chatting with them already but I really didnt know how they looked like. I guess they were too busy studying for something so I didnt bother them hehe. I also saw my english blockmate Gino and talked to him for a bit until Alden decided to go back to his classroom.

After an hour or so, it was physics time. It really wasn't that difficult but I didnt study so well I think i flunked that test. After that some Pe lecture on volleyball rules and off I go to the ACTM ga.

I guess I had some fun at the Ga. I met some really cool people there. I also saw my blockmate's crush and then I kinda realized why He had a crush on her. She's really pretty ahaha I hope my blockmate goes for her. Ahahaha oh well.

I guess my blockmate had some fun moments too after the ga, An incident at the cervini caf would really be a pretty good memory ahaha. I font think im at liberty to discuss it though oh welpz.

After the Ga I hitched a ride with Jace to the mrt station for the ride after that Im home.

Here at home, Im starting to brush up a bit on my math since I dont really know the lesson. But im getting too lazy to study so Im just online instead oh well.

Finally A Locker!

Mondays! rarr I hate Mondays!

I met a cute girl on the way to my first class today. She was leaving it just I was to enter it ahaha a good way to start the day, don't you think?

I started the day by turning in my badly written essay. After hearing my classmate for her authors chair, O was kinda embarassed at the discrepancy between her work and mine...

We had a free cut in lit so i was able to go around the campus. For some reason I ended up in faura hall. There I saw patrick ahaha and I was able to force him to accompany me in siging up for a locker. It was a good thing too since today was the last day for locker sign ups. After 50 pesos and about 20 minutes, I have rented Locer b2118 hehe. Finally we have a place to put Pat's basketball.

Then we had Physics, As usual I was asleep. I really want to apologize to our Prof for sleeping in her class but it really is very boring.

Then we had Pe. It was our practical exam today. I was able to make 7 of 10 services which was ok. I Sucked in the self volley. I was only able to make 21, damn Im supposed to do way better than that damn!

After Pe I went home already, I guess I was pretty tired so I didnt play basketball anymore.

At home, while I was chatting in ym, I was able to know who the cute girl was wahahaha damn, small world ahaha darn this line is fillled with ahahaha..ahahaha

Final Touches...

Sunday is usually the time when I dont go out so I just sit and stare in front of the computer for the whole day.

Again I woke up at around 11 am, I guess my body is really trying hard to make up for all its lost slee[ last week. I started it by putting the finishing touches on my essay. I guess it was pretty easy since it was just a few more paragraphs anyway and the ideas are still quite fresh on my mind. I finished the essay at around 3:00 pm. hehe so I just went online in Irc and chatted until 4:00.

I watched the Up- La Salle game. Dlsu didnt really play that well but they were able to sneak past Up. Too bad for up since they dont have any wins yet. Oh well, at least they are not alone since Nu also has no wins yet but still that game was theirs for the taking haha oh well good thing la salle won.

I was chatting for nearly the whole day yesterday, and today as well. I dunno I got addicted to chatting again hehe. I even visit the old channels that I used to frequent such as #tokyochat and #japan. Kinda fun to see the people that I usually chat with still in the chatroom hehe. I guess I "meet" some nice people thru the network. Of course no one can really take away the perverts and the hackers and the losers in the net but I get to meet nice people in the room most of the time hehe, I think I use Irc as an escape from the real life, coz in Irc im being me without really being me. I know that was a contradicting statement but its the best way i can describe it...
