it's the second and last day of our Foundation Day. didn't go, though; it was raining pretty hard when i woke up; my school ang rain don't go too well. there had been many instances where we students almost stranded because of the flood, especially us seniors, who mostly occupy Calalay Hall, the least elevated building in school. besides, the Fair sucked, to be honest. it's kinda disappointing; i've had only one really graet Fair, and that was back when i was a Freshman.
Yesterday, though i went to school and this is what happened: i rode with my dad halfway going to school, i arrived too early with my meeting with my friend Roda at Mcdonald's, she arrived too late, we headed to school to see our adviser Ms. Alvarez dance at the stage only to see Ms. Cudal (this really old, cranky lady who is a "teacher" who doesn't teach, and talks reaaally slow) closing up the Opening Ceremonies, which means we missed for our Adviser's dance. then they opened up the booths. Roda, Grace, Dia, and I headed to our classroom. After we ate Jenny's food, Roda and I decided to browse; Dia, Grace, and Jenny decided to hang out at our room and stare at the wall (that was what we were doing before we ate. what fun!). On our soccer field were baseball players from other schools. I think there's a competition or something held on our school. The first booth we saw was the Science Club's, which sort-of looked like the Einstein-4 booth because the people there are about half the girls in our class. they were selling food, which was the thing half of all the booths are doing. in case you're wondering, there were more or less ten booths. we counted.
we went back to the room, played "sardines" (you know that game? it's kinda like the reverse of hide-and-seek). i wanted waffles, but i was too lazy to buy some. I asked Ron, who magically appeared out of nowhere and changed his shirt inside the room, to get me some as Alvin, Miggy, and I played cards. Ron went with Roda, and i treated Ron with a waffle.
i was hungry. they were slow. i started talking like a caveman and challenged Alvin in chess (FYI he's like, THE chess master in class). obviously i lost. i rained hard. i started to bug dia, grace, and jenny, my ex-sarines playmates who are now sleeping. it was obvious they wanted to hit me with a fly swatter. then they came.
...and gave me the wrong hotcake size! ahhhh!!!! it was too small! i started eating with my hand, regardless of the fact that my hands were dirty and that there were other people. Ron, aka Mr. Vain, decided to follow my lead.
we then toured the Booths again, in search of proper lunch. we met Paula along the way, and we decided to share one lunch. roda bought a ham-and-cheese. ron was recruited as a lifter.
ahhh!!! this is so darn long! bottom line: we finished. ron escaped. we ran for our lives; we don't want to practice for the cheerdance! joanne saw us and made us play on their booth, the FAIRya (perya, karnabal, you name it). we gambled with grace's money. we went to SM, i had a picture with Miggy (his first group pic), alvin, and ron. played at the arcade. went home.

okay, ciao! Ü gotta sudy for ACET! it's on sunday!

like the title says. this is the first time i actually held a working PC in weeks! haven't updated. practiced for the filipino week. the poem is three manila papers long. i am presently stuck in the second stanza, which is filled with super-long lines. submitted my Ateneo form. mom was impressed with my essay, for some reason. i am not impressed by it because it was made by an over-cramming mind. the ron-roda conflict was cleared. the ateneo rush had passed. i do NOT want to be an economist, in spite of my dad's persuasions. i don't like philippine history. i abhor statistics. i have to study both in order to be an economist. i want to be...an interior designer! hahaha! but that'll never happen. so i guess i'll have to settle for psychology. i want to write a book too, but other people wouldn't get it---too much inside jokes. i want it to be about... high school. my high school.but it's a pretty stupid idea so i'll stop jabbing `bout it. i just discovered recently that i hate big, fat, squishy insects. unfortunately, my school is filled with those varieties. last saturday we went to my friend egi's house to do an assignment. mostly her neighbors are uncooperative, but it's okay. we went to shoemart and had fun in front of the videoke machine. i seem to recall on making a mental note on visiting a certain website, but now, in front of a monitor, i seem to forget all about it. our french teacher scared the hell outta me. having typed that, i wish ron would never visit this blog and find out i typed that. but i guess it was pretty obvious; even though i looked like a lunatic, i started practicing saying the french alphabet as i go home. and i call my frenchmates and ask them if my pronounciation's correct. and they say i'm nuts. i almost walked home today. wanna know why? i ran out of money! darn it, and i left my emergency money at my house! thank goodness my ATM worked; the other day it didn't. i now realize that i am wasting precious surfing hours typing these, so i'll stop.

did the seniors' ritual today for UPCAT. it's called THE WISHING TREE. we write our wishes on a colored strip of paper, hang them on a tree, and dance around the said tree. you say some chants (which you repeat 49 times) and go `round the tree 7 times. yep, EXHAUSTING. reviewed for english, which turned my brain to pulp though i actually like the subject. some ppl from UPLB came and gave us tips. i found out that i was virtually the only one considering to go to UP pampanga. went to Mcdonald's, saw my dad. this week was filled with breakups, conflicts, and soap opera-ish stories. sheesh, if peple stop telling me to keep things secret, they'll know what they're problems are! oh well, i guess another problem'll aise if they DID let me... "God Bless" and "Good Luck" seemed to be the phrases of the day. the UPCAT weekend'll start tomorrow... hope we pass... hmmm...makes me wonder now what my classmates, crushes, enemies, friends, and teachers will be like 10 years from now... i wish that people (including me) won't lose the dreams the have now... i hope i won't see any xientian at the frontpage, doing something stupid... *sigh* hard to imagine that i'm gonna leave this place in a few months... as someone wrote in our blackboard, "kita-kits sa fishbolan!"
