It's been a while...

C'mon everybody! Today is Christmas. Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't know how to start the day right. It seems that everyone is so busy. Well, I expect it to be like that. I felt that I kinda treated the holiday just like any ordinary day as I would. I woke up late in the morning, past 8:00 perhaps since I have no interest looking at my clock when I woke up, finding out that everyone in my family is dressed up and it seems like we're going off somewhere. Yes, I was asked to prepare myself because we're going to Alabang to spend our holiday with my aunt's family.

As we fetched my grandparents (since they want to tag along), I've noticed children around 5-7 years of age going from house to house to receive blessing from their godmothers and godfathers. I kinda missed doing that when I was at that age. It made me reminisce the things that I'm doing for the past Christmas. Somehow, it made me realize that Christmas is not only the season for sharing and giving your love to other people, also it makes family bonds grow tighter.

We arrived at Alabang for around 1 and a half hour since there was only a light traffic in Dasmariñas, my adorable cousin welcomed us to their newly built house in Alabang. Somehow, it made me a bit jealous because of the luxurious life my cousin is spending her life on. But, I thank the heavens for giving me my parents whose occupations are not related anything about politics and government. It might give me a major headache for not allowing to go out of the house everyday unless I am permitted to do so.

What makes the day exciting for my part? Seeing my cousins that lives very distant from me. It makes me happy because I got the whole day to spend quality time to get a heart-to-heart conversations, watch off movies, listening and browsing albums using iTunes in their laptop, play a whack of fun in their Nintendo Wii and even burning up a pork while cooking. I can treat my cousins like my best friends. Aside from having the same bloodline, it seems that they're the only ones who could understand you immediately. Plus, having the fun discussions about Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga and David Archuleta's single, Crush.

We just stayed in my aunt's for the whole day since it's very rare to have us cousins all-gathered up. Too bad, my other cousins from overseas can't spend the Yuletide season with us, but they are connected to the Internet as we chatted to them. It was fun, though. It feels like they're also here.

Truly, the essence of Christmas is to connect family bonds and make them stronger than ever before.

Christmas Party 2008

Today is the school’s Christmas party. I do not know whether I should feel excited or what. This is the very last time I will celebrate a Christmas Party in high school at CNSHS. True, I’ll miss every moment of it so I decided to cherish it? If it is worth to be cherished, that is the case.

Okay, it was around 4 AM when I woke up. I can’t sleep because of the noise created by our neighbors. I decided to go back to sleep. I woke up 6 in the morning. 15 minutes later, my service van will arrive soon. I told to my mother that I will not go with the service and go to school at least 8 in the morning and I really did that. My plan was not to go in the morning program because it is the school level party held by the Supreme Student Government. When I received Marco’s text message, that’s the time I decided to go to school to join his boredom. When I arrived at school at least quarter to 8 o’ clock, Marco showed to me his black-tinted fingernails. How I envy those nails, I wanted to apply a black nail polish on my fingernails, too. Not to show off that I’m emo or whatsoever.

The program was way too boring. I didn’t notice that the people around me were already playing games because I was so busy talking stuffs with Gerlyn and Kathleen in the school’s gymnasium. At least, I joined in the fun of cheering to my batchmates. I remembered how Jerice dragged me to join the “Touch Me Not” game. I just guessed a slippery banana. I laughed to myself when I asked about Alyssa and Brian Tomas if the game was safe to play.

Before the morning program ends, the juniors gave the whole school a performance which the seniors enjoyed jamming around. We just said these few lines: “I’ll be here forever… forever… I’ll be here forever…”, along with waving of hands in the air. After that, the seniors gave us a nice performance? Actually, I cannot understand what the hell are Milky and Paul singing up there. Even though, we swayed through the beat. Brian was still cool in the drums and Nico was still crazy as ever. The seniors gave another performance, but this time it was dedicated to someone. Our class president and tropa ng lahat, Jasper John Z. Vergara. Jerolyn, the SSG president, stood up with her electric guitar and lead the band composing of herself in guitars and vocals, Jake in guitars, Jehno in bass, and Brian in drums. Despite of their past relationship, she sang ‘Last Look’ of Chicosci and everyone stared at Jasper (he was having an intimate time with Claudine here) and pulled him towards the stage to duet with Jerolyn.

At last! It is lunch break, and I needed to go home to fetch my gift to Napoleon which I’ll discuss later why I was needed to go home. As I was about to go back to school, I needed to catch a bus going to Maragondon to have a cheaper fare. I was kind of irritated in the bus conductor because the way he stares at me scares the hell out of me. When he asked my destination, he sat right beside me and I had to move away an inch (I was supposed to move a feet away if weren’t for the bus window) to avoid the skin contact. I had to glare evilly at him to have him stay away from me. I am not comfortable if someone is looking at me and having those creepy skin contacts. When I arrived at school, he was still looking at me. A maniac. You bet he is! Good heavens, I am safe from him or else, I’ll use my kung-fu to him!

When I entered our classroom, I was kind of surprised when my adviser, Ma’am Adette, told me that I was going to represent the class of being Ms. Suave, a mini-competition wherein the girl must be a boy. I was supposed to say a big N-O to her, I have a nagging feeling if I refuse her, she’ll lower my grades in Advanced Physics! I had no choice but to agree to it but I told to her that I won’t bring home the bacon because: first, I don’t know how to act as a boy since I’m a certified girl. Secondly, even though I have an older brother, I used to grow up in the pampering of my mother in Barbie stuffs so I won’t get a boy influence on me. Thanks to Camille for my “boy attire” clothes, I was made to be a boy. Good luck to me.

After doing some parlor games, the mini-competition has begun. I had no choice but to step in right there and do whatever. The problem is: I don’t have self-confidence to do that. I might be “thick-faced” with my classmates, but I cannot put up that face into my batchmates. It was so embarrassing. Plus, they were not used to see me in wearing ‘boy’ clothes. I was totally distracted when my adviser sat in front of the stage. That’s why I don’t know what to do. I asked Jervie and Napo at the back to tell me what should I do, and they gave me nonsense advices. Thanks to them, I have to face a total humiliation. I don’t carry that self-confidence when it comes into competitions like this. I have a confidence in which I can sing my heart out with my band; after all I am their vocalist. Oh, another factor why I lost my confidence: all of the competitors are SALIW members. That gives me triple damn. Micah Borja on Nitrogen, Jerolyn on Oxygen and Jacque on Hydrogen. How can a commoner like me can compete with them? They’re super talented people while I’m just a trash.

Jacque was declared the winner in Ms. Suave. After that, we played another classic parlor game: the longest line. Fluorine is really biased when it comes to this game. You see, we have the most population in the whole batch when it comes into class population. We had to lay down everything, and what’s nice here? My boy classmates wanted to win so much that they decided to wear just their boxers in order to win the game. The only problem is another game wherein we must wear everything that we took off. Okay, we lost that game. It is alright because we all had fun.

Kainan blues na! Me, Camille, Joan and Hannah had already a mouth-watering foods on our plates but we’re not yet contented. After eating, my class (Fluorine) locked ourselves in our room and started to sing along in the videoke. We sang many songs and some of them were: Hot by Avril Lavigne & Hotel California. After that, we had our annual exchanging of gifts. Now you wonder why do I have to go home earlier? It is because the meat might be spoiled. Remember that I bought a CDO Pear-shaped ham to Napoleon. I was surprised when Jehno granted one of my Christmas wishes: to have an American Boulevard bag.

After the party, we went to Jasper’s house to celebrate the last Christmas party that we’re going to spend with him. Only close friends were invited. We watched a lot of horror DVDs and even a pirated Twilight DVD. Edu Manzano will be angry at us because we support piracy.

To freshen up, we went to the seaside to enjoy our stay even though it was already near midnight when we went there. It was freezing cold there. I had to endure the cold because I don’t have any jacket or sweater to warm me up. When we went back, my mother fetched me home. It was a great experience just in one day. Totally fun!

Let's go shopping!

Cavite National Science High School Entrance Examination, first screening. Over 300 over potential elementary students from the graduating batch are struggling to enter one of the most prestigious high schools here in Cavite. Wow, I advertise my own school. Well, it doesn’t sound like I’m advertising it, but it appears like a newscaster or a journalist saying about the entrance exam in CNSHS.

I didn’t volunteer myself in the school. Duh? Why should I? I have to go shopping to have something to wear in tomorrow’s Christmas Party plus I haven’t got Napoleon’s Christmas Wish gift: a Purefoods Fiesta Ham that costs about 400 plus in Philippine Peso.

I went to SM Megamall together with my dad and mom. My dad went to his office, San Miguel Corporation, which was on the other side of the said mall. Funny, right? Now I know why many people like to enter in the said corporation because of the close proximity of the corporation to SM Megamall and St. Francis Square and just catch a cab and go to Greenhills or to TriNoma or in other Ayala Malls.
As I roamed around SM Megamall in search of my outfit for tomorrow, I feel like drowning because of too many people inside the building. Either of the buildings were full. Wherever you go, there is always a line: in fitting rooms, restrooms, escalators, record bars, dining area and supermarkets. It ruined my plan in buying an original Twilight Soundtrack. Oh well, it Is always there. Besides, I could just request it to my dad to buy it for me (using my own money).


Caption: Rock Out Kitty! I saw this when I was passing along.

Thank heavens I decided my outfit. I bought two denim pants and a blouse all from Lee. I was planning to buy on Tribal but there were a lot of people inside the store, so I decided to buy somewhere. My only advice: do not go shopping when it is near the Yuletide season, it might save your life if you follow my advice. I am firmly telling you this since I have experienced getting lost (again) in Ortigas Avenue. Good thing, I remembered some of the streets there so I got back to my dad’s office.

It was a very tiring day for me.

Born to be an artist?

This is the second day of our first Periodic Test in the Third Quarter. I was kind of devastated when I only got 68 percent in my Advanced Physics exam. I’m so dumb when it comes into computation. I need to increase my grades in Advanced Physics, Mathematics and Advanced Chemistry to avail the average of 88, the required average when entering into a scholarship. As much I like to avail these scholarship programs to help my parents to sustain my education in college, there is always one requirement which I can’t comply: the family’s income tax. I am bothering myself to enter these scholarship programs because I am worried about my father’s status in the company since he might be expelled anytime. That is why I am finding ways to earn money even though using Internet as my primary business field, but the question is what product should I sell to the public?


Caption: All I Want for Christmas is GetAmped : Keroro Version

Thinking of graphic design as a business in the Internet would be a nice idea since I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 in my system, but I don’t have the skill to have it takes to be a graphic designer. I brought my laptop to the school and made Bea’s wallpaper since she requested that I will make her contest entry to the GetAmped Christmas Wallpaper Contest.

Welcome back, Dad!

The day has arrived wherein my father will come back from China. He was there in the last 2 weeks and now he is coming back. What is the fuss about? He will bring back of what he promised me. Think you can guess it? You don’t? Alright, I’ll say it: a laptop. Yeah, he brought home a laptop.

First thing we did in the morning; we cleaned the whole house from the second floor up to the basement. After all, it is the master of the house who will return from home. It must be clean enough so he won’t be disappointed and let him feel like he’s at home.

Then, we went to Cathedral of Praise in Manila to attend the church mass. We will not attend the Sunday mass anymore because the only important thing there is you must have an attendance in a week. We were late by 5 minutes due to the traffic along Macapagal Avenue up to Taft Avenue.

After attending the mass, we immediately went up to the Centennial Airport to fetch up my dad. As to be expected, there are a lot of traffic jams along the way. My dad was bored of waiting by 10-15 minutes. Hey! It is not our fault to catch up into a heavy traffic. Anyway, we went to Duty Free after that. My dad told us he will only spend 50 US Dollars and we agreed on it. All right, we went shopping!

In the end, we spent 150 US Dollars and my dad was so frustrated at it. He just decided to put it to sleep while we were going home in Cavite. My dad is not driving the cab, so he was very comfortable on his seat sleeping his head off. While I, on the other hand, am a babysitter of 3 naughty kids who likes to stab, punch, kick and torture me most of the time. Yeah, I always go into a battlefield when I baby sit those kids.

When we arrived home (at last), I immediately asked my dad about my laptop. I was kind of disappointed since he brought a TOSHIBA Satellite M325 model and not a HP Pavillion TX2000 or a 13-inch Apple MacBook model. It is fine with me, as long as I finally have my own laptop. This calls for a celebration. That night, I made myself drown into the delicious sweetness of a Berri Apple juice. I really don’t drink liquors. I find myself odd since most of my classmates knows how to drink liquors and stuffs, while I haven’t tasted any of it even a single drop. I am completely ignorant of those things and never will be interested there.

Good thing, my father will be here to celebrate Christmas with us. I don’t want to spend Christmas with a missing member of your family. It just feels sad instead of being merry.

Ended up watching Twilight (again)


Twilight has been the world's most awaited film since Harry Potter and might surpass Harry Potter. For those who haven't watched the movie or read the book(s), it is about a human falling in-love with a vampire. It has four books: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. You can check more information about the movie here: [link]

You watched Twilight for how many times?
I watch it three (3) times already counted the one I went to SM Dasmariñas with my classmates. It is very addictive. First, I watched it alone in SM North Edsa. Then, I watched it again with my cousin in SM Megamall. I'm not that addict, right? It's just an obsession to the movie scenes.

Moving along, why in the hell you watched the movie with your classmates?
I think it's a lot more fun than just watching along or with your relatives. Looking at the picture from the left clearly shows that you can be yourself or act the exact opposite of your silent and calm demeanor.

Caption: "I must be in Bella's [Kristen] position!"

As we got there, we checked the movie's schedule and bought our tickets. After that, we roamed around in our separate ways and talked that we will assemble again 15 minutes early before the movie schedule in front of the movie house.

Me and Marco went in our way to National Bookstore to check out something and it turned out buying a magnetic bookmark. I was supposed to buy Hamlet by William Shakespeare but I cringed when I saw the price. I decided not to buy it anymore and go back tomorrow with my mother so I have money to buy it.

You and Marco, again? What relationship do you have?
We're just best friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Besides, we have been together for 3 years now. We're not classmates during the sophomore year. He's always in vain, just like me. But we do create our own vanity.

The picture at the right completely states that he's trying to express himself by strangling a Hannah Montana paper statue inside the mall premises. It is clearly said the artist should not be touched, so he tried his best that he looks like he's strangling her. Hannah approves of this one. This picture is given 5 stars!

Caption: This is a way of showing your love to Hannah Montana [Miley Cyrus].



You are off to watch the movie. So, how did it went?
Ah, me and Hannah frantically surrendered our digital cameras first to the guards since it is strictly prohibited inside. We got the Premiere Deluxe, the best seats inside the movie house. We watched up some trailers that talk about supernatural stuffs. My classmates started to open up a bag of chips and we started munching up the curls. As I opened my squid balls, the lights went off and the show's gonna begin.

Lights off, movie in action!
I sat comfortably inside the movie house as I am eating my squid balls. Suddenly, when the lights went off, a pack of girls squealing and shouting welcomed the movie. Some people inside the movie house tried their best to ignore them as we ignored them too. Anyway, you can't avoid to have fangirls inside especially when you watched the movie several times already.

I won't tell the story since it will be considered as a spoiler, besides it is a requirement for everybody to watch it. I also recommend to those who haven't read the book yet, please do avail the book. You won't regret it, I promise. It is a vampire love story filled with chills, thrills and a star-crossed vampire love that [Stephanie Mayer] made.

What are their comments to the movie?
I tried my best not to blurt out any spoilers while watching the movie. As soon it was done, they were moved and thrilled to the unexpected vampire romance the movie had brought. They gave over 5 stars just for the first movie.


"Unexpectedly the best!"
"Edward Cullen [Robert Pattinson] did a good job!"
"Romance, suspense & action all in one!"
"I just love how the background music goes"

Halina't Humataw sa Hero Convention!

Hataw! Hanep! Hero Convention: The Amped Edition
The biggest and grandest youth fair in the country
held at November 21-22, 2008 at Silvercity, Pasig City

Photos: [link]
Photo credits goes to Joyce and Bea

I went to McDonalds in Tanza, Cavite first to gather up with the gang early in the morning. I found Bea, Joyce and Shaider unpatiently waiting for the others. I thought that I was the only one they're waiting. Guess what? I was one of the first ones who arrived there. Shocking, isn't? Those people are again on their VIP mode.

This picture at the left, see what I mean?

We are all waiting for the others to come. We talked that we should be all gathered up exactly at 7 in the morning. Joyce and I got frustrated already. We decided to get in Silvercity by taking up a bus. We fled off! I was kind of embarassed to Bea since she wanted us to go with them. But, they were going to ABS Interactive in Quezon City first to get their tickets. So, we went off already.

Maybe you will just be irritated with the things they will talk about there or you're avoiding someone?
To be honest, my ears will bleed uncontrollably. I know that they will talk things regarding Amped there. It really irritates me, so I want to get in the convention as fast and soon as possible.

Second thing, I am not avoiding someone there. I think he's not comfortable having me around. The same goes for me. Of course, who would be not comfortable if you're always talked about? That thing irritates the both of us. Despite of his quiet demanor, I know of what he's thinking back there. That clears off the topic. Case closed!

What happens next?
Alright, we started off our adventure to Wonderland... I mean, to Silvercity. We caught a bus going to Manila. My gosh! It was full already and the driver still insisted to have the six of us in. We obliged to go in since we have this fiery feeling that we must arrive in the convention earlier than the other group. When we arrived at Baclaran, we caught a cab to take us to Silvercity which took us around 15-30 minutes to arrive there. I really wondered how the six of us fitted inside that cab. It is a sign that I'm more sexier. Leave the dreams alone to me, bitch.

You are now already at the said venue. What did you see?
I saw some cosplayers preparing their costumes and stuffs. I even saw Hard Gay and Jiraiya doing some Yaoi fanservice while we were in the line. Joyce is having major nosebleed as I cringed. I really don't support yaoi but I do accept having them within the society. We took almost 20-35 minutes waiting for the damned line to move out and have the convention to be opened.

As it opened, I immediately looked around to see whether there's a Mokona plush toy. Before that, Jerice saw the Naruto statue at the front lobby and it was showing off some skin. Jerice happily hugged it and laughed her head off. I remember Jin from her journal had some moments there also: [link]

Okay, we roamed around like idiots there. Well, not actually. It is a place where I belong. After all, an anime convention will only attract anime fans and otakus all together in an event. I really don't care about the Amped section there. But, I really wished that it was e-games who was with the Hero Convention since I want to play O2jam for the first time in a convention.

Jerice went off with her classmates way back in elementary, as me and Joyce roamed around and asked the cosplayers if they're kind enough to pose in front of our cameras with them. If I had more time to prepare, I will surely cosplay for myself. Having Moka in Rosario + Vampire wouldn't be that bad, right?

So, where are the others? Have you found them?
Yeah, we found them. We gathered up in the front lobby and they immediately dashed off to the Amped section where they played GetAmped. To be honest, I really don't get the essence of playing that game. I'm a RP gamer, not a combative-strategist player having exemption when it comes into Command and Conquer games.

As you can see in the picture at the right, Shaider is totally serious about that stuff as well as the other people around them. Michael even asked me to get a piece of paper in the so-called "GetAmped fishbowl" to get a specific gear needed for his character. He even placed his ID to me so I could get a piece of paper to him. He's an addict, right? I'll sue if you don't admit it.

There must be chibi cosplayers around the event?
Yes, there is. I saw many chibi cosplayers which are very cute that I can't resist to suck out their blood. Okay, I am sounding like a vampire here. I saw a chibi Naruto from Shippuuden, Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin, Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I think I even saw a chibi Vocaloid there. Please do comment if I'm wrong.

Battle of the Bands? Cool. Did they produce good music?
Oh, the bands. They were cool. Cool enough to make me sleep despite of the speakers in their loudest volume. The sound of the speakers shook the core of the Earth that I was dozing off to my slumber. Having my Mokona plush toy as my pillow and Jerice having Kyouya plush toy as her own pillow, we slept. I didn't had the chance to hear the performances of the 3rd band up to the 5th band. I only managed to hear up to the 6th band since I already went home early.

What is the best part for you?
Cosplay Competition is what I loved the most. I loved the creativity of every person showed there. There were different tactics to catch off the audiences' attention. Next is the Dubbing Contest which made me laugh my heart out. Especially the final round wherein the contestants will dub some scene from Naruto Shippuuden having an impromptu script.

Overall, I liked this year's Hero Convention. But I still loved my experience in the Hero Convention in SM-X Convention Center last year.


Hope I will attend to a more grand HeroCon.
Adios!

Math Fest 2008

EDIT: I saw a very interesting comment that made me edit this post. Yes, I agree with you that nothing beats the original. Are you blind? I just mentioned you because I forgot to make my blog entry regarding the fest. Geez, what the hell is going on with people? Is it bad to mention your name and to thank them that their entry made you remember to do something? It is my blog. You should be grateful that you were given credit. Dumb ass.

+++

(Late blog)
Take heed of those words which are emphasized.

For the first time in CNSHS history, we had this ever so-called Math Festival held last November 21, 2008.

I thought having this Math Fest will be the first step to have a school festival just like in other countries wherein other schools are invited to join in the fun and there's a lot of booths prepared by each class like horror house, coffee cafe, tofu shop and so much more. Now, I'm thinking of things which is very impossible for the school to happen.


Alright, it started off to the usual program led by the Liriko for the doxology, which I remembered that I slept or talking quietly with Eugene. After that, flag ceremony. Ok, ok, I got your point, it is the usual thing. Then, they had this speech then the Math Quiz Bee started. We were not allowed to stay in the gymnasium for the first round since it is the elimination set. We were asked to roam around and never stay at the gymnasium until told so to go back. Alright, we went to the canteen since I told my companions that I will die because I didn't ate my breakfast.



The canteen? What a cool place to hang-out.
Me, Tin-Anne, Gerlyn, Joyce and Bea decided to hang-out at the canteen for a while since we're all starving to death. We were there for the first batch of consumers. Yes, I am talking about those people who buy food at the canteen to satisfy their needs. While eating and stuff, Joyce grabbed the camera and took stolen shots of us. It was kind of embarassing, but it was okay since I am well assured that it won't be used for blackmailing purposes.

Joyce and I got a photography fetish afterwards. We like to focus things on every object that we see. Gerlyn came in to join the fun. That's why I am waiting for her upload.

(Will show evidences SOON. Photos are with Gerlyn. As soon as she uploads it on her site, I shall immediately grab it)

I practiced my own skills in focusing stuffs. I grabbed Eugene's camera and tried to focus the jinglers' instrument. I asked Eugene to hold it up for me while I take a good picture of it. I got what I wanted. I posted it on my deviantArt as a deviant entry: [link]

I heard that you went to Naic to do something. What was that?
Oh, we were asked to do some remixing job that only the people in Naic offered their service to do so. We are doing this for Napo's sake since we want him to grab the title of Mr. Mathaba. What's up with that new term? I will discuss it later. Moving on!

Me, Bea and Gerlyn went around the town. As I toured them around the available computer shops aroudn the town, they were kind of disappointed since all of the computer shops were fiull and there's no GetAmped available in most shops. We decided to go back to school after we asked MJB to burn the tracks that we asked for them to do.

Afternoon. What did you do?
We had fun the most in watching Mr. and Ms. Mathaba, just like a pairing contest that only marked that the contestants are fat/chubby. Don't sue me here! Before that, we watched the Math Jingle. The juniors got their trophy again. It was kind of unfair since they were asked to do a jingle and not a cheerdance. Geez, the judging was way so wrong. Hell! The lyrics of the jingle, it was very unappropriate. The seniors tried enough to put up everything and limiting the use of every word in the jingle since it IS a jingle. Good heavens, have mercy on my soul!

While watching Mathaba, the seniors gave their support to their representatives. It was really, really fun. Everyone in the gymnasium was watching our every move. It really feels great. I liked the way we supported Napo since everyone was shouting with the song on his talent portion: "na-na-na-na-napooo~". To add everything up, we were trying to imitate the dance steps he was making there. I was laughing my head off when he and his back-up dancers were doing their things there. It was so freakin' hilarious. Our support went out like a light bulb being hit by a switch. As Rassel, our contender for Ms. Mathaba showed her cooking skills. She was cooking Chicken Cordon Blue which was a very unique talent among those I saw before since it was always singing, dancing or acting.

After declaring that Napo and Rassel got the first place in Mr. and Ms. Mathaba, the seniors went up with their outrageous stampede towards the stage and started dancing there. I even had a video but it is not yet posted in Youtube. I will upload it as soon as possible.


Having a Math Festival in our school wouldn't be that bad, after all.
Adios amigos!

Goal unexpected!

I am feeling down. After all the hardships that we made, all of the sacrifices that we made. Our research study didn't pleased the panelists in Intel Regional Science Fair in Thursday. Of course, who wouldn't feel bad about that. I feel kinda sorry to those who didn't participate in the Division Science Fair Level and will not compete for the Regional Level. Well, it is alright to my part since it is now time to focus on our individual papers.

Isn't this the time to celebrate things up? After all, you're free to this stressful things.
No, this is not yet the time to be confident. I need to finish my individual research paper. After all, it is an individual requirement for graduation. *sigh* What should I do?

Don't feel bad. At least, you had an experience, right?
Totally! Therefore, it won't be that hard to defend to the school panelists since our study was already questioned by the Division Level panelists and the school panelists.

My mood refreshed when I wet online. I watched the animes that I never heard before and never showed in the television. Yep, a full-pledged anime otaku. Since otakus like to see things for themselves. I watched Chaos Head and Kuroshitsuji since I found the plot cool. I like anime with uncliche plots.

This picture above is my banner in Friendstertalk. I want to share my graphic resources to other people so they could use it, of course with my permission. Also, I want to help my parents to acquire money. I could only think of making these things with a certain amount of GCash once I am able to improve myself. I aspire to be a professional in graphic designing. That's why I'm deciding whether I should choose Multimedia Arts as my second choice for my course in college.

Jump & Shout!



C3, a band from Australia came into the country. Their genre is Christian rock. I dragged Joyce to be with me since I want someone to talk to. My supposedly companions are not in my age group (13-16 years old), so that's one of the reasons I dragged her along. The venue is in our church, Cathedral of Praise in Taft Avenue, Ermita, Manila.

C3? What a weird band name. It's like C2, an iced tea drink.
Yes, I find it weird also. But I like their music, you won't expect that it is a gospel music that they're playing. Besides, me and Joyce have hots for their keyboardist. I already searched for him in Myspace.

What you have done is just boy hunting like usual. Tell me about other details.
Some of my companions got pissed off because the girlfriend of my brother was like making everyone wait for 30-minutes to 1 hour before they took off from Cavite to Manila. I do think it is really irritating to be the one that you're only waiting then you'll make other people wait for you too. Who are you anyway, her royal highness to be treated specially? Duh, I don't like to have a future sister-in-law like that if that is the case.

That was interesting. What happened next?
Nothing really. We let it pass by since we're going to the church anyway. What is the essence of the things you keep on hearing if you don't apply them in everyday life, right?

All in all, it was good to attend this concert. Too band, my other bandmates didn't watch the live. Oh well, at least me and Joyce had fun and we rocked the world for God!

Invoke, Explore, Evolve!

$999. Where the hell can I get that big money to buy a software that I've always wanted? You must be wondering what the hell am I talking about? I'm talking about Adobe Photoshop CS4. That's right, the latest version of the Photoshop Creative Suite has arrived in this generation and it is a must-have for aspiring graphics designers like me to have that software. How I could crack the code so I can have it for free just like what I did in Photoshop CS3 Extended.

What is the difference of CS4 to other Creative Suite series?
You can actually paint 3D designs and combine them into 2D images. It has Fluid canvas rotation where you no longer to tilt your head according to the canvas because of such things that you wanted to do in that image. Smoother panning and scanning and so much more. I so envy the rich people and the professional graphic designers and web designers who have this already. At least, they are not "nahuhuli" in their softwares.

What is my point here?
I personally want that software since I'm very envious already. Even though, I already have two versions of Photoshop here in my desktop computer and one version in my dad's laptop [which I don't use that much], I want that latest version. Yes, I am being paranoid because of that software. Sometimes, I think that I'm already crazy because of these things. Oh well, this is what I love. It makes me happy.

I already have Photoshop, should I be content with what I have?
I know this is a very stupid question because I know that I should be content already. But my hands are trembling and my eyes wander for that CS4 thing. Oh darn. I must have a disease already.

What am I doing lately? I'm into manga colouring for these past few days. Since I don't want to be a bother to my online buddy, I've decided if I know how to colour manga, I can put up a business by setting their requests and paying me via GCash. How I wish I can be good already in this stuff so I can earn money and even help my parents for our living. Even though, it's just a sideline job for me and nobody seems to care about it, I still wanted to try it. I might not know that it will be that effective.

Any plans in this week? Yes, of course. I'll be going to the C3's concert here in Manila. Since the tickets are free, why should I miss this opportunity to miss bands from other country? By the way, their music genre is Pop Rock, so I guess I'll enjoy their rhythm and songs. Want to go with me? The transportation is free! Going there and back is free.

I am listening to my favorite band as of this moment. I just realized that they're cool. Even though, I blabber them too much, it seems that I really appreciate Japanese music more than local music and Western music. I don't know. Maybe, I'm amuzed on how they present their music to other countries. Plus, Kanon's too hard to resist. xD

I've finally done it!


Are you seeing this picture on the left side of this post? That's right. I'm really doing this. I'm gonna buy that damn album of An Cafe! It is the latest album of An Cafe in dedication for their 5th year anniversary.

Now, my only problem is how to pay this in Western Union or in LBC. Will somebody be kind enough to accompany me in this stuff?

Misadventures @ Rockwell

Yeah, we went to Rockwell/Power Plant since it was a special day to us. It is because our connect group leader received a gift certificate to eat in C2 restaurant in Rockwell. So, here we go to Makati.

First off, we went to Cathedral of Praise - Manila to wait for him. In the meantime, some of them prayed in the prayer room while myself was wandering around Emilio Aguinaldo College and Mini-Stop. Quite good, right? Alas, he has arrived. We shall now go Rockwell.

I told you, I wasn't lying about this one. Considering Rockwell as one of the malls created for A-B social class. I do not belong here. I'm in level C. We have funds but we don't use it for luxury and stuffs. We are practical indeed. So that's why, I long for my cousin's PSP even though it is the old version.

It came to my mind that it was my first time to be there. It was a great experience though. It was like Trinoma, put more "kaartehan" in their interior designs.

We ate in C2 restaurant. I can't believe that I got attracted by the presentation of the food. The dishes are only simple. Those things that we eat here in the province are their primary dishes. Yes, I'm utterly disappointed about that. Their noodles only tasted like luglog here in the province. But, the rice was frickin' smellin' good, baby!

After that, we got dozens of picture taking 'coz there's a snow bear stuffs around the building so we've decided to check that one out and take pictures. You check my Friendster for more pictures.

At least, we've experienced getting inside Rockwell.

Boredom kills a vain person

Semestral break. A week where students take a break from their homeworks, projects or whatsoever related to school. The thing is, I don't feel that it is our sem break because of the things the school left to us to work on. Well, I can't blame them because they need some business to attend to like seminars and stuffs.

Truly, this week is boring. I didn't went home to Nueva Ecija because it's hard to go back. So we just visited our loved ones resting in peace here in Cavite. We offered them flowers, prayed for their souls and went back to our homes.

Shoot, I am not yet done with my assignments. I need to cram now. Yeah, this is my bad habit that I am having a hard time to change this. Even though, I'm trying to do some assignments earlier than scheduled, it seems like I'm doing it in a very long period of time.

Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae

Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) is one of my favorite picks when it comes into horror/supernatural genres in anime. The protagonist here is Enma Ai, a girl who performs her duties to bring agonied souls to hell for at least 400 years. She lives in an eternal twilight together with her mysterious grandmother and with her three helpers (in the first season).

Though, you don't need to watch every season in Jigoku Shoujo to be able to comprehend the plot, you should watched the second season to be able to understand the third season why did Enma Ai "died".

After the "supposed death" of Enma Ai, she returns to fulfill her duty as the Jigoku Shoujo.
She uses the body of a young 9th grader, Yuzuki Mikage, as her vessel to move around. Mikage sees Ai's vision through her dreams.
Kikuri manages to recruit Ai's three helpers to continue the Hell Correspondence operations.

Let's see what Jigoku sjoujo Mitsuganae unfolds in this story.

Watch it in Crunchyroll unti it is not yet liscenced!

What I liked best in this anime is its artistic features. At first, it shows off traditional Japanese oil paintings. It may look scary, but it is not. Unless, you dare to send someone in hell. If you are courageous enough, access the Hell Correspondence via online. Wait until the clock strikes midnight, until you finally accessed it.

My ♡ Leaps for An Cafe!

After their latest single release, "Summer Dive", the band that made me fall in love with visual kei bands has released their latest album in celebration for their 5th year anniversary, "小悪魔USAGIの恋文とマシンガンe.p."

Love&Gun!







I recommend everyone to WATCH THIS!!

+++

I am depressed after I checked An Cafe's store.
I want to buy the Bonds "Kizuna" Towel [SUMMERDIVE Version]. Since it costs 1, 429 Yen (around 800 pesos). But the shipping is 4000 Yen.

Can someone lend me 3000 pesos?!
ONEGAIII!!!!

Accepting Flaws

Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Working time: 45 minutes
zephyrbloom productions


This is a flaw image. I intended to make it like that because too many people doesn't appreciate the flaw of every person.

What the problem if I like this? Won't you try your best to be appreciative to your friend? Ah, I remember. I didn't consider everyone as my real friend. This world is full of plastic people with flaws.

I have my own flaws. Everyone has their own flaws.
Why don't everyone appreciate it like they have received their most awaited gift?
Geez, people.

DLSU-CAT Experience


Religion. Morale. Culture.

These words made an outstanding Lasallian stand among the crowd and bring its achievement to other people. Ranked best among Computer-related studies, this is De La Salle University - Manila Campus.

To start it all off, I wasn't really that prepared. But I have lot of self-confidence that I can pass this exam (even though, I'm not expecting myself to pass). I went to the entrance gates where parents were crowding the gates. I got a hell experience in asking where is Gate 3 where I was supposed to enter the campus. Gate 3 stands for the Engineering Gate (EG). Yeah, I am entering this prestigious university with their masteral course, Computer Science in Specialization in Software Technology. I saw Jerolyn outside Gate 3. Together, we went in. We were like hanging our jaws very low because people around us are like college students already. Now, this is the disadvantage going into a provincial high school. I should have transferred in Manila when I was in 2nd year. *chuckles*

I took the exam in the 5th floor of the Civil Engineering building, and heck, it is air-conditioned. I didn't brought my jacket. Some of my seatmates wear a Lasallian jacket to keep their luck up or something like that. One thing that I don't regret is that each of my seatmates is an extreme hottie. Now, I love to attend my classes in DLSU everyday. *laughs* Now I shound obvious to my hidden intentions. I'm doomed.

Since I am generous enough, I am giving away tips for the next batch who will take the DLSU-CAT in DLSU-M.

1. Bring jacket. Every room in DLSU-M is air-conditioned. Well, if your skin is thick, you'll be able to handle the coldness of the room.
2. If you have some companions that you know you share the same testing area/building/room, don't bring snacks anymore. You'll be only given 15-minute break.
3. DLSU-M loves essay writing. Be sure you love essay writing when you're determined to spend your college life there.
4. If you're a girl and lucky enough to have your seatmates (front, left, right, and back) all hotties, consider it as one of the best things in your life as an upcoming college freshie. I don't know if you'd take this case also, if you're a boy.
5. Be sure you have someone to talk to from your school because you'd be 'out-of-place'.
6. Stay focused.
7. Have all of your pencils sharpened, so you won't take tim in sharpening your pencils since some subtests are only 15-minutes.
8. Be confident.

Gosh, I was really uncomfortable with the essay writing part. Because there's one boy in the room who I think don't have a concrete idea of what he was going to write. The topic is about a teenager can do to stop corruption. The proctor came to him and whispered some possible ideas which I foudn out that was already written in my paper. Now, I really find it really weird. I covered my paper up by trying to lay my head up to the paper so I can only see the paper and the endpoint of my pencil instead. It was one of the 30-minute hell of my life.

Hope I will pass this exam. Hope me to pass!

FM Static - Tonight

I remember the times we spent together
on those drives
We had a million questions
all about our lives
and when we got to New York
everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
tonight

I remember the days we spent together
were not enough
and it used to feel like dreamin'
except we always woke up
Never thought not having you
here now would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight

I remember the time you told me about when you were eight
And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
and the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
and stayed out way too late
I remember the time you SAT AND told me about your Jesus
and how not to look back even if no one believes us
When it hurt so bad sometimes
not having you here...

I sing,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight"

I sing,
"Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight"



I am really touched with the lyrics of the song. It managed to comfort my heart full of pain and sorrow. Somehow, I missed those moments with him. Well, this is what I get for regretting those kind of things. Now I sound too emo, spank me please.

This is a song to those who are still in love with their past relationships. To those who doesn't want to let their past go and look for their future. Will I be able to look for my future if I keep returning to my past? Will I still be able to put my past to be my future?

That's it.
I'm depressed.
Someone, please, make me happy.
Just for a little while.

Sparkle

If you are alone in your saddest moment in your life, who would you like to express your thoughts into? This is the time you call your friends to share the pang in your chest to lighten your burden. Friends are there in your happiest and saddest time in your life. They are there to share the moments wherein you will be not able to forget in your entire life. Picking up a good pack of friends is the best.


Have you ever experienced treating someone as a friend but they don’t treat you one? I am not pertaining to those who have betrayed you. Sometimes, there are people wherein they are showing off that they are attached to you and call you ‘friend’ but only taking advantages of what you have and do not matter on what you feel or act. It is painful enough to hear them laughing at a distance, wishing that you are one of those people that also laughs even at the corniest jokes ever heard.


If I had a friend whom I treasured the most, it would be my plush toys. Now, you must be wondering why not a name of a person? It is because that no one could be able to understand my own perspective. No one can able to fully understand of what I feel. I am not able to express my own regrets and sorrows to somebody right away. So it gets piled up until it explodes like a bomb. Nobody could ever give me advices or even listen to my heartaches just like a friend that I always imagined. I’ve always thought that friends are always with you wherever you go; they are always at your side. I really quench for the love of a friend. Yeah, I sound so emotional.


Friends are like sparkling gemstones, once they lost its sparkle, they will be neglected unless someone shines them to regain their sparkle. For me, finding a friend that you’ve always wanted is a hard task especially when you are a perfectionist. Friends have their own flaws and such, we must learn on how to accept them in order to create a powerful bond that you and your friends could only share.

ASEP Division Science Fair 2008

This is what I call joining an unexpected event. I don't aspire to be a researcher. Heck! What happened is the entire opposite. I have joined this event "unwillingly".

The contestants for the ASEP Division Science Fair/Mr. and Ms. Agham 2008/Essay Writing/Poster Making Contests are the following students: Jerice Monge, Joyce Bea, Cassey Real, Lyza Quintella, Serene Bondad, Shayne Piol, Jan Bontorostro, Harlene Viray, Cherylyn Magbago, and yours truly (Science Fair). Though I don't remember their names, still Aaron, Arianne, JL and Ral joined the event for other contests.


The picture on the left is the area's parking lot. Just kidding around. This even was held at Governor Ferrer Memorial Comprehensive High School, General Trias, Cavite on October 13-14, 2008. 2 days filled with tension and cram.

True, I was kinda sweaty when I arrived here. I thought this event will kill all of your labor. My gawd, I really can't take the tension I'm feeling. So, I went around with Serene to ease the tension that we're feeling.

Alright, on the first day, we did nothing. *laughs head off* Hey, I'm seriously talking here. We prepared our tarpaulins up, but no ingress occured. Everyone seems so busy in the Science Quiz Bee that our school made for the other schools and the Mr. and Ms. Agham preparation.

Me, Jerice and Chery always hangs out in their canteen because they have this Minute Maid Orange Jiuce with real pulps of an orange fruit. "Real pulp but fake juice", this is what Jerice said. As minutes passed by, we seem to feel bored and stayed in our quarters for a while.

We met "Papa CJ" from Bucal National High School defending for his research. The story goes like this: Lyza thinks she had the most thickest research paper ever written in the whole division. We were all surprised that he had the same thickness as Lyza has, or even more pages than she had. With all Chery's guts, she went to that guy and interviewed him about his research. As I came along, all that I can remember is having a severe nosebleed from what they are talking about. This proves that I cannot be a scientist, so I aspire to be a computer programmer instead.

We went home feeling tired out of nothingness. Of course, it is a 3-day preparation with matching sleepless nights. Yeah, we didn't slept at all. How I pity myself. So, I immediately grabbed my pillow and saying goodnight to my L plushie.

Day 2 came around and we're really tensed about it. Since ingress/congress will happen today. OMG! This is not what I am expecting. While waiting, everyone's coaches went into the rooms to give a little piece of advise.

While waiting for our turn for the congress, we were trying our very best to keep ourselves boredom-free. We watched the Mr. and Ms. Agham, playing some games on Jan's laptop, texting some of our classmates since some of them had cellphones with them, and drinking Minute Maid Orange juice from the canteen. Man, we're really bored. The picture on the left is one proof. Harlene's going emo. *laughs head off* My gawd, my sanity is at stake.

Caption: "Learn to accept the way I am."

We were the last to have our congress in the Cluster 2, Applied Science, Team Category. The second one to defend our research in the whole pack of sayanistas. I really regret that day. I should have brought my Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer so I have something to read. Darn.

The congress went well. There is one question that really took my sanity off: "How much did you spend on your research?". Very nice question by the panelist himself. Now, I am going crazy as of this moment.

We didn't expect that we will claim a prize, but we did. We got 2nd place. Cool. My sanity is really at stake. This research has really made go wacky and insane.

There's no hunks/cuties in the Science fair. But there's a lot in Mr. Agham candidates! *smiles evilly*

Intramurals 2008

The long awaited break of CNSHSians from schoolwork has finally arrived. Yes, I am talking about the Intramurals. Let me cite to you all the things that happen in almost a week full of tons, aches and triumph also free from schoolworks. Corny? Yeah, I talk corny shitty things.

Day 1 [October 6, 2008]

Photo credits to: Gerlyn

The start of our Intramurals. Too bad we didn't have a grand parade just like the last two years. But, we had an opening program just as usual. The officials of the sportsfest explained what sportsfest is and what can every CNSHSian will benefit. Afterwards, Mr. Tomas C. Loyola, the one who is in charge in the event announced that the event is opened. To start it all off, the cheerdance competition started. Forgive my words. This is an offensive post, and I really intend to do it. So, kindly click the 'back' button on the upper left corner of your browser before I track your IP address to hack you (now, I am kidding). The emphasized phrase is really meant, though. Read at your own risk.

The cheerdance competition. All that you can hear are the screams and yells of the students, expecting their candidates to win and leave the other years struck in awe. Heck, what's good with it anyway? Even though I was one of the crowd who always yells, not scream. It'll ruin my 'oh-so-beautiful voice'. NOT.

The Green Acers (freshmen) was the first one to show their cheerdance. Of course, we are expecting to have it like an explosive bomb. Heck, it was all the opposite. Forgive my word, but it was a lousy performance. I stated out to Marco that the freshies are having a hard time to gain confidence. The atmosphere around the crowd was awkward. Of course, it was boring. The Yellow Asus (sophomores) was the last one to perform. Their cheerdance was not that 'showy'. I really don't remember how their performance went. All I remember was the girls' pompoms were falling off like...hair. Gee, compare the pompoms to hair, I must have a disease. The Red Machintosh (juniors) were always having a hard time to cheer out their name since it is long. Alright, it is best to laugh it out. After all, I am a villain indeed. At least, I was in awe when watched their cheerdance. They had great coordination with every member of the group. With matching beats coming from the complete set of drums (it was red, too!). But I was a little bored since I think they had their performance more than 7 minutes. Finally, Blue Vaio (seniors) that I'm always making typographical errors when it comes to spell out the name. Geez, I always type in 'vaoi' since I'm thinking of 'yaoi'. Do not dare to ask me what 'yaoi' is. These people also have coordination in their stances. In their every move, you can feel that they really want to win. Unfortunately, they didn't win. It's alright, though. After all, it was only the cheerdance.

The Mr. and Ms. Physique competition (did I able to spell it right? comment me) came after the cheerdance competition. Still held in the CNSHS gymnasium. I really don't remember how this competition went since I was hardly listening/looking at the event. I was really bored. I only heard that we didn't got the first place. Well, it is expected. Our competitors were looking all 'gangsta' with their outfit. Heck, I didn't even felt that I should have chills. But, I did had chills when Arianne Ramirez (Yellow Asus - Ms. Physique of Sophomore level) walked in through the isle and showed off her gun. It was a blockbuster hit!

Alright, had lunch. Nothing fun to share about that. What's fun with eating with your voracious classmates around you? Answer me. State me 1000 reasons why should I be happy to share my food with them? Now, I sound evil. Yes, I am evil and proud to be one.

What's worst with this day? It rained hard enough to stop every outdoor game occuring on the school field. So, they went to the gymnasium to watch the match of Sepak Takraw between Green VS Red. All that you can hear are the yells of the seniors to the green team and the juniors cheering for their team. Plus, you can eally feel that there is an intense war between the Red Team and the Blue Team. That's fun. I guess, this will be a cool intramurals after all. [post modified]

Day 2 [October 8, 2008]

I can totally admit that it was fun watching the girls, always trying hard to be proper and elegant enough, playing a pretty hardcore game. Guessed it? Totally, it is basketball. It was way to fun to laugh at the girls swarming off to the innocent orange ball dude. While the other seniors are way too busy to make little Joey (Sir Ces' daughter) entertained, we are laughing like there gonna be no more tomorrow. Heck, it was way too funny. I haven't got a photo or something to prove it. Sorry 'bout that.

The other games were played simoutaneously. Since I really don't want to get sunburned and all, I stayed in the canteen with JL. Yes, we are afraid to get tanned since brown isn't my skin tone color and it would not match me. While relaxing for a little bit, we heard that there's gonna be a sack race soon. So, me and JL immediaetly jotted out our comfy chairs and started wandering under the sun to search the damned court where sack race will be held. I present to you, pictures in motion!


Sack Race Girls


Sack Race Boys

Since there is a slight misunderstanding who is the winner the boys' sack race, the official decided to have a match between Yellow VS Blue. Now, feel the wrath of the seniors.



See? We're still the champion. Dumb people don't know how to accept defeat. Hmph.

Day 3 [October 9, 2008]

I still don't know what happened to the Vaio's female volleyball team captain, since it was hard to eat her ego away. Didn't I mentioned? Blue was defeated by Green. Nice, eh? But, I saw her raising her spirits up by cheering. That is the spirit!

Oh well, it rained in the afternoon. Nothing more I remember. That only means the intramurals will be extended. That's a hell yeah for those who still have games. I can smell that my free time days are over. I can really smell it now.

Day 4 [October 10, 2008]

Though, it was pretty killjoy, we are actually having our regular classes. What the heck is that? It's not fun. I want to watch the games that are left. Oh, it is still raining. So, the games are forced to be played inside the gymnasium. It was hard to get in since everyone is trying to get shelter from the rain.

It was kinda sad that the patintero boys game between Blue and Red since we lost. But, it is okay. But then, Ma'am Bisa tried to call me and my groupmate, Chery, to go to the Chemistry laboratory since we will work for our research paper. Yeah, it was completely a killjoy day. All that I can hear are the cheers and yells. I can't see the actual game since they were all blocking my view. Darn it! So, I was thinking of every excuse to go out of the Chemistry Lab and to peek what's going on to the game.

Green proved their worth to be the queens' of CNSHS volleyball. They whipped the Red team's ass. Great thing, freshies. Afterwards, it was the volleyball boys turn. Sadly, I didn't watch it since we were locked up to do some paperworks. I am hearing my batchmates cheering like "manalo, matalo, champion pa rin kami!" where I laughed out loud. Sir Mojica was also inside the Chemistry Lab alongside with Ma'am Malones. She asked who will be over-all champion in case we lost the game. I proudly said that we're still the winners even though we lose those 2 games. Sir Mojica said that there should be no awarding if Blue Vaio won. Sorry sir, you had too, 'coz we are the champions. The Red team was countering the cheer that my batchmates cheered. They were bickering things which I find funny. Yeah, call me a weirdo. I don't 'f' care.

Alright, the awarding ceremony came. No trophies, medals or whatsoever. First time in history. Again, I sneaked out of the Chemistry Lab to check out the ceremony. Everytime we are announced to be the game champion, some of us go to the stage and dance like people who perform rituals and pose to have a picture. That was a good thing to do. After the annoucning of the overall champion, almost everyone went to the stage and transformed into party animals. That's not all, it was continued inside IV - Oxygen's room which I, didn't intend to join in the party and just want to ask Michael if he has a Microsoft Office installer, joined in the fun but left immediately since I really don't belong to that kind of world.I do hope this Intramurals will be forever cherished and we all have a morale learned during the event.

Secondhand Sechzehn

Wird es gebrochen?
Können wir es ausarbeiten? Ich kann in Ihren Augen sehen Sie sind bereit zu brechen Schauen Sie weg nicht.


I am celebrating my very special day. You guessed it, today is my sixteenth birthday. My most awaited birthday. Why is that? Because life turns into a reality when I turn sixteen. Goodbye to my ruckus old self, to a new and hopefully more mature Denise.

I would like to thank the people who greeted me because they remembered me. I also like to thank the people who greeted me because they don't want to be left out, the people who forgot but still greeted me, and those who wants to be treated only. Still, my day is not yet complete. I can feel that something is missing.

This day was quite boring since it is not chaotic unlike my past birthdays. Maybe I am accustomed doing trivial chores when I am celebrating my day.

I am missing my past birthdays wherein many people are trying their best to gather my attention. Yeah, this is what I hate about people around me. Bunch of idiots. They do not know how to accept the real me. When I wanted to show my real self, they turn away and as if they don't see me. They don't take heed of my existence.

Alright, that sounds emo. I am a goth, not an emo.

I knew it, I shouldn't give them my whole trust. It only made me feel bad. Despair. Loneliness. Sorrow. I hate this life. It only made my hatred grow bigger than ever. There's nobody to talk to despite of my frustrations. Then, you'd comment saying that I'm not opening up. I am taking the initiative, but still they're going away. I can't wait until I attain my total freedom: graduation. I'm so frickin' sick of everyone's personality. Full of plastic people. Dumb shit.

Confessions of a Sweet Tooth

Eingeständnisse eines Süßen Zahns

I am a self-proclaimed sweet tooth. Why did I say so? I am in-love with sweets. Earlier, I was going to my dentist, unexpectedly she canceled her appointment to me since she was going to somewhere. So, I re-scheduled my appointment for tomorrow for dental check-up since my pearly whites will be going under root canal treatment. Does it hurt? I am scared enough. After doing that, I went to Goldilocks to buy a Chiffon cake slice since I was craving sweet to gnaw.

When I went home, I was surprised that my older brother came back home earlier than scheduled. He stayed in Manila last night for his work. He brought a Dulce de Leche meduim-sized cake with him. I happily dig in without bothering from who it came from, only that my aunt sent it to me. Bon appetit!

Later on, my parents went to Dasmariñas, Cavite to deal some things. When they got home, they brought a chocolate cake that filled up my heart. I ate up into my heart's content. Of course, I shared it with my family. It would be sweeter if you shared a dessert with someone. So that's why I intend to love Valentine's Day, because guys do give chocolates to the ones they are courting, dating or planning to court. I'd say I prefer spending time with each other in Valentine's Day would be preferrable for me than roses or chocolates.

And I watched QTV 11's newest show, True Confections, hosted by Sam Oh. That lucky girl, she was able to eat a Strawberry cake made my world-class pastry chefs. I so envy that girl. Haha! I do hope I can eat a Strawberry cake, too. Since I was really craving for that one. I managed to get True Confection's site to get the procedures and ingredients. Now, it is time to do it. Maybe, I'll do it on Christmas. :D

Oh, remember to brush your teeth after eating all those damn sweets.
¡Tienen un día dulce delante! (Have a sweet day ahead!)

Intramurals : Preparation

I've told you before that the aim of the Intramurals is to lock your the target: to win the said event. Last October 2, 2008, we had our Medical Check-up for 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. Now, it was all crap. I mean, it should be the time to practice some sports that we will be joining for the event next week since there's always classes. It's kinda irritating that you have to arrange those damn paperworks for the compliance of the Intramurals so we were forced to do that shitty thing.

Just like what my classmates had indicated in their blogs, it is an irritating thing to do. But I guess, it's better than listening to some boring lessons that never ceases to excite me. I am not fooling everybody here. I am just showing who really I am. Listen up, dude. When I'm posting something here in cyberspace, you are talking to the REAL me. Yes, when you're with me in person, you are seeing the virtual me, forcing to wear masks all around. I can't wait to take it off. I really can't wait for the day of my total freedom.

Maybe the Supreme Student Government with the cooperation of the Young Sportsmen Club had done with the finishing touches for the said event that will be held on Monday, October 6, 2008. After all, it was said that the Intramurals this year will be great as ever. I do hope we won't be disappointed on Monday. I mean, this is my last Intramurals in Cavite National Science High School. My last year for being a sick wack-o girl with shitty things going through my head and have the liberty to do it. My next years will be on a universities or a college campus with different faces and different personalities. I want to spend my last year in high school with all the people I know I can trust on. When I graduate, things will change. Everything will change, not according to my will. Tengo miedo de graduarse en la escuela secundaria.

For now, I will cheer to my batch with my heart's content. We must win this event for this is our last Intramurals that will be forever in our memories together with other high school memoirs.

I am so fucked up when I hear lame excuses that seems to be unbelievable. That's why sometimes I am irritated to myself. Whatever I do, there's always lame excuses to be made. How pitiful. Argh. Damn life. It shouldn't be like this.

Chery and Harlene, my research partners, went to my house to fix our powerpoint presentation for our research. I bet I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that we, a bunch of high schoolers, are doing thesis that is for college students. Am I right? Yeah, we really need to comply, or else no certificate for graduation. That's what I don't want to happen. 私は私の生命を憎む So far, we haven't refined our Introduction but the Methodology and the Results are going smoothly. Hope I could my father's laptop so we can continue working on it at school since we're banned from using the IT Center in school. (That's is not right! We're the ones who paid it! Give it back to the fourth years!)

Life is full of boring colors and fake smiles. (生命は退屈な色の完全であり、偽造品は微笑する。)
That's how I view my life. Completely dull. Unless there's somebody to fill it up with shimmering colors so that I can experience the joy what the world is in store for me.

Why am I being frustrated? It is because I was forced by my mother to go with her in a bible study. I really not on the mood to listen to religious stuffs, but she dominated my decisions again. Darn. Parents are the superior ones. Follow them or you'll be dead. After all, they're the ones who made sacrifices just to make sure that you will have a good future within your hands.

Oh, tomorrow's my classmate's Milky's birthday. Happy birthday to her. Even though, we're not that close, but I treat her nicely since I am confessing to her my hidden feelings. But it's a different story when I tell things to Marco, since he understands my every single personality flaw. Promise, you wouldn't expect the Denise you knew will be different if you asked him. I treat him like my best friend, so trust him to hide my shitty personality complex.

Adios amigos!
