Archimedes Rainforest Trip! 01/24/09

Rainforest, Pasig. :)) games. awww. i wasnt able to playy... or swimm eittheerr.. :[ but it was fun then :))

almost a senior. :)

(sigh.) bigayan ng stipend ngayon. :)) P1200 X) not enough for the hard work and the sleepless nights X)

anyway, that's not the point. today na it was given is like the 8th time i got it. WHOAH. X) third year na pala ako. it was just like yesterday that i was a freshman; feeling ultimately different. i remember the people i used to hang out with. back when i was in my first year, I DID NOT COME HOME AT PAST 7pm(during schooldays)! X)) all those people i left. all those people i miss. X|

second year came, and yeah. their almost the same people i am with right now.

same faces :) new phases :)

on days AND nights, that i thought i wouldnt make it alive, i actually did! i even learned how to do a project a night before the deadline :)) i learned that brown envelopes can actually save your life in keeping all those darn quizzes your teacher asked you to compile. i learned that all the stress, all the hard work, all the sleeplessness, is all worthwhile, when you have friends there beside you. awwww. :))

it's january 09. i remember my first day of high school, june 6 06. [666] other people thought it was the end of the world, but it was a beginning for ours. :D

a few more months i'll be a senior. a fourth of me wants to end it! but all the rest doesnt want me to. life in mandsci has not been like any other feeling i felt. here are a few scenes i like:

• when it's 9 or 10pm, you and your groupmates are walking to get home from a tough project, you feel the cold air of the night brush through your skin, the empty streets bestowing upon you the freedom to rant and talk, the lights of the streetlamps guiding your way through the rough night. :) it's quite a scene.
• last night, your whole classroom was practicing for like a play or dance or whatever, you go to school and see the drooping eyes of all your classmates........ but still when they find you staring at them, they simply smile. :D all boundaries crossed.
• times when you really cant get your precalculus problem and you're at the verge of crying because you cant just solve it, someone comes near you and teaches you. and even though you ask him or her to repeat it for three or four times, you end up getting it and thanking that person. he or she just walks away, not waiting for a praise or reward.
• the open forums; the way you cry; the way others cry... and how it strengthens the bond between class and room. :D
• the corny jokes, like mine, that are even though as corny as heck, will still make you laugh.

sigh. those are just a few. even though it is hard to be like this. always stressed and out of sleep. through all the crushes and crushees. through all the teachers and their loads of homework and tasks. through everything... mandsci in itself makes it worthwhile with friends and its charm. :)

ideal prince :]

oh meeenn. well it was the regional science fair today -- NCR. well i'm not here to talk about science and stuff.. well i lost... now getting to the topic...

OMGosh I just met my ideal guy ever! X] hahahha nagcocontest, natulala sa katabi? XD

hahaha anyway. i wasnt really focused on him. well he won... first place! grrr. hahaha didnt want to win anyway. ;] pagod na ko.

okaay. characteristics:

1. matangkad [ssooobra]
2. maputi xa. [normal lang na maputi]
3. ang cool nia [cool as in relaxed na relaxed xa kahit regionals nun]
4. he speaks english fantastically
5. did i forget to mention he looks so dashing XD and so cute.
6. he's smart pa.
7. angas pa ng itsura.. [mahilig sa badboy? XD]

well i wouldnt normally just blog about guys everywhere but then... i was about to congratulate him.. so i was like staring at him., waiting for the moment i could... but when i was staring at him.. he like .. stared back. :]] awww. tapos 3 times un! hahahha. babaw ba? XD hahahaha. well i know.. but there was something in his eyes that says i want to meet you. and somehow ung makapal kong mukha nahiya nang magcongratulate sa kanya. as in... parang 3 times na kaming naging magkatabi tapos di ko talaga siya makausap. awww. hope i'll meet him again. or sana someone like him. X) 

ROCK! :]] an entry about yesterday.

:]] God is soo good.

^^ i really like how yesterday ended. :]] really cool. it ROCKS! XD and you're wondering right now, what's with that word. well that was our team word. we kept on repeating over and over. XD

first it was like this. We were sooo late compared to our set departure time from school cause ms. frias was still at the division office singing. and we were like...

"We're late. we're disqualified." and somethings like that. well i most of the negative thinking came from me. X] as kuya amiel said about me: "You were born a pessmist..." XD

well my pessimism and my thoughts dont usually happen and they didnt. mam frias arrived just in the nick of time. and we arrived there before anything could start! God is Great!

the elimination and semifinals just proceeded... even though it was carried out it an orderly fashion it managed to kill 3 hours. spelling takes soo long to finish.well anyway. we were crossing our fingers and praying all the way and we managed to get into the finals with Lourdes. God's grace again.

****okay. why do i keep on saying things about God's grace. well i've learned that if you offer things to God and let him manage everything, he'll do the best for you. before in contests i used to pray: "Lord, please let us win..." and stuff like that but for the past contest and the Science Olympiad... i prayed.."this is for the exaltation of your name..." and boom! :] he rewards those loyal to him. words are incomparable to how i feel about this.

okay. the finals were really tense. sobrang close fight. nagtie kami for like 2 times. they got ahead two times too. :] my three words were: provocateur, pseudonym and connoisseur. i spelled provocateur wrong. :\ but it's fine! kuya amiel managed to spell all of his right. and our winning word was... Euthanasia. --yeah. mercy killing. XD

well we came home with high spirits, some stuff and a trophy. but what i valued the most is the friendship we created between ourselves. how i made kuya amiel and regeanne laugh soo hard. and how andrew made me laugh so hard. :]] we even used one pen for all the written rounds. ;] quite cool. :D

we returned to school to get our stuff. it was dark as heck. :0 and scary too. i went home. and the day ended with me scared... 0_0 hotel626 is some game. :]] hahaha.

lalalalalife. you win some. you lose some. :]

2nd Y-Jam Inter-School Spelling Bee. :]]

11/7/08

lalala! the 2 days of migraine finally paid off. okaay. with our winning word: euthanasia - we successfully defended our title against Lourdes School of Mandaluyong. 2nd place was Lourdes School of Mandaluyong and following for third place is Good Sheperd Christian School. :]]

members: Amiel Rayo, Moi, Andrew Jovellana and Reagenne -- uh.. i forgot how to spell her name. XD

panget ng quality. phone lang kc. walang digicam! sayang.

i know.

well this is sort of my version of Kuya marc's rants over at the GreenChronicles.

i always wonder why my life seems to breeze past me. i mean. one minute i'm sitting in class the next second i'm somewhere i dont want to be in.

i'm really starting to get ticked off by these contests. i'm very BUSY. yeah. i'm VERY BUSY. i've been saying that all the time. Using it as an excuse which really is the reason. I missed how much? i'm not talking about the quizzes or the grades or the classes i've missed. but the people i've denied my presence of. my friends. my family. the people i want to be with.

it's depressing that i cant stand up and say NO. Do i like the pressure? the rewards? the success? the depression? the complication? being not there when i need to be there the most? what's happening? i promised myself that i would take control of MY life. But why cant i seem to stop this madness? was it because people are expecting me to do this? or was it no one else CAN do it? Rather no else WANTS to do it?

Cant i deny those people? 3 days ago, i was crying. I was horribly frustrated because nothing seemed to go my way. i couldnt do homework. i was just in my room, depressed. i missed two birthdays of the two people i love. how can i memorize Seratonin -- C10H12N2O and not realize that it's a birthday of my dear friend?! what type of android have i become? have i ceased to become human and started to erase emotions?

i have not been writing lately. i have not been drawing lately. all those things that i once thought was fun. i cant seem to do them. why? because i'm BUSY. VERY BUSY.

everything seems so ironic. so sarcastic. the weather is mocking me. the flowers, birds and trees! they all mock me with their NOT BUSY lives. i want to take life, step by step. not like the movie "CLICK". my world is not remote-controlled. i take control. God does.

ATE MITCH AND JOSEPHINE

dear both of you,

i know i owe you a lot. i mean, simpleng bati lang di ko nagawa sa birthdays nio. i feel so useless.

ATE MITCH - i'm so sorry, we were practicing a dance and it was out of my mind. [i know, how can it be out of my mind?] i know it's not an excuse -- ten na kasi ako nakauwi. tpos nun pa ko nameet ni JC para mabigay un gift mo. SORRY.

JOSEPHINE - belated happy birthday. ang alam ko talagang bday mo seventeen., man, how could i forget? :[ i'm such a bad friend.

SEE? i'm such a suckish person!?!?!?! BUSY! i am always busy! the hell with that! nakakainis. why do such things come first? i dont want to do these things. i'm just so tired. so sorry to those people who i've hurt. ang suckish ko!

Science Olympiad - Sept. 06 08
