Happy

I receive a random email from Blogger telling me that someone commented on a post of mine, so I check it out and what a pleasant compliment I receive. :P About 8 or 9 months have passed since my last post and the fact that I blog less and less doesn't surprise me!

Fully adjusted to college (I'd have to say. It would be pretty sad if I still feel and expect to be treated like a high schooler.) I barely recognize myself. I don't mean that in a bad way. I like the person I've become so far. My life (not that it's how I've always dreamed it would be) but it's me. I (try to) do my best. I pay attention to my academics. I love Psyche and I'm totally anxious about the quiz bee in Feb. I've got great friends who are supportive of my various ventures. I've opened myself to new experiences. Right now, I'd have to say that I'm happy <3

I want this year to be the best so far!

I'll continue living life the way it's meant to be lived: day to day, while taking the future into consideration and enjoying the simple things in life.

Now, if you'd excuse me, I have a pre-lab to write, a play to reread, and data to encode. :)

Boredom

To tell you the truth, I shouldn't be bored. I've got loads to do, but the thing is I really don't want to do it know, setting aside the little known fact that I don't know how to do it as well.

I've got tons of Filipino homework, but I figure that's the norm for Mrs. Caspilo, assign every major, or at least semi-major, work at the beginning of the quarter and leave the small ones till later. Apart from Filipino, we've got English. It's turning into a quarterly thing, having a book report. Now, for Filipino, that was actually announced. We are to review the entire El Filibusterismo ten chapters at a time. But for English, sigh... At least it's a self-help book this time, though that doesn't really mean anything to me as my book is as thick, or a bit less, than an average novel, not to mention the terms the authors use terms that leave my mind wandering the skies, trying to guess the definition. Don't expect me to carry a dictionary around everywhere I go (unless it's one of those tiny electronic ones). I'm not that much of a geek.

Did you know that at one point in the last quarter I worried for my the card grade in History, I mean, Economics? Scary that it came to that since I was a minor history, ahem, social studies, geek last year, and the year before, and the year before. Basically, if it's in English, I can understand it.

Math not included. Besides, our math teachers speak in both English and Filipino. Technically, it's math teacher, since he's responsible for both our Algebra, Advanced Algebra, and Calculus. Surprisingly, this past quarter wasn't so bad. I could actually understand it. It's amazing, isn't it? That goes to show for those out there like me, slightly impaired in the math department, there is hope. Or maybe it was just that our lessons weren't hard... I can't tell anymore.

I won't make a fuss about Science, apart from that my elementary and high school grades can't be compared, because there's that much of a difference. 99! My goodness, how much I've sunk.

Why am I blabbering about school right now? Because the NCAE (National Career Assesment Examination) has left me partially brain dead. Not because it was super-incredibly-extremely difficult, quite the opposite actually. It was easy. The only challenging portions were the ones with cute faded little pictures, meaning non-verbal ability, manipulative skills, and entrepreneurial skills. Would it do any good if I said that I didn't attend the review for the NVA and ES?

Anyway, why I'm brain dead. Because I was that bored.

...

...

Were you expecting that?

The "main" subtests were allotted so much time that right after the reading comprehension bit, I just fell asleep immediately. Take note that as always I was up late.

Where was I? Ah, the pointless, meaningless, rambling.

That kinda ends now...

Prequel to my Pre-made Post

Ok, so I'm bored in computer class. I hate codes, but I love computers, with a fast Internet connection, so it's very much bearable, much better than our current English class anyway. But before I get to bashing our English class, I'd like to apologize to those non-existent readers who have supposedly been waiting for a post that isn't nonsensial to them to appear one day or another.

Anyway, I'd like to announce that I have made a post, on my own computer (which does not have Internet access, if it did, this wouldn't be here) that I plan to upload this weekend. If I can get Blogger to work on my mom's laptop. Apparently, Blogger likes me when I'm in school, but changes it's mind when I'm at home.

We're here in the Computer-computer lab doing a seatwork. See, we have three computer labs here. One Computer-compuer lab, one English-computer lab, and finally a Chinese-computer lab. As I said, I hate codes. But then again, if no one made up these codes, we wouldn't have our wonderful programs, which I'm sure a lot of people enjoy. (Continued at home at 10:55 PM - 1/18/07)

Wow! Blogger! You have finally loaded. Same goes for Yahoo! Messenger. I actually have this status, "YM! You have finally loaded!"

Anyhoo, I have totally lost the train of thought I had when I was writing the previous paragraph. So whatever. I'll just post again and recap what has happened since what happened after what I'm going to post next.

Eventful week

Yup, looking at the title, this week, or at least the end of it, has been quite eventful. But let's make it systematically, ne?

Monday:

Nothing much, but the regular P.E. Surprisingly, I think I got a tad better at volleyball this day. I was able to hit the ball in a straight line. Dam, dam, dam-dam! And as always, I felt tired afterwards, and ended feeling sleepy during Chemistry.

Tuesday:

I got stuck at school because someone didn't tell me that there wasn't any debate this day. So, lucky, my mom didn't take her color-coded car to office since she had to some banking around Ayala Avenue. I don't want to try to do that again, it was totally tiring. I think that I blogged about that before. Hehe... Anyway, she took a taxi and picked me up from school.

Wednesday:

Nope, nothing happened today. I just died and came back to life. Nope. Joke of course. Only Jesus has come back from death.

Thursday:

To make up for my totally uneventful Wednesday, my Thursday was totally different from my regular days.

One, because of Milenyo Teachers' Day was cancelled (and blah, blah, blah, no need for more explanations) so we held our celebration today, and so... It honestly sucked, as it always did. The performances were mainly from the elementary kids, so since kids have extraordinarily thick skins, they aren't shy. (duh, get to the point...) They performed the lamest things, so what if I'm being supremely mean. Damn, Breaking Free from sub-strandard performers is a serious pain to the ears. Breaking Free is so annoying, hearing it over, and over, and over again until it makes your ears bleed. Gah!

Second, after the celebration with a recycled poster (from Students' Night, just with an extra layer) we had our yearly hopia games. Haha, hopia games, that honestly sounds stupid. Anyway, it's the dice in the bowl game. The only thing I really hate about this game that took up our time till lunch (yay!) is that I NEVER EVER win anything more than a few littly pieces of hopia. This time I just got one tiny little hopia. Damnit! So, I just ended up mooching some hopia from some of my neighbours. ;)

And no debate meet again.

Friday:

Nothing really special during actual school work except that I got a 25 out of 26 in dum, dum, dum-dum (!) Algebra! Whoa, I never get high scores in Math, I'm ADVERSE to math and math related subjects... And once again, whoa...

This is really cool. Since our numbers (of those in the debate society) have shrunk to this tiny number, we ended up rounding up 3 (!) members for the meeting. I mean, that's not even enough to hold a debate, no matter how cut and diced it gets. So inspite of the number, we had a ton of fun. I, myself, kept laughing during this time (I swear, I had not gone insane) . We had public speaking!

It was really fun, much more fun that debate, quite honestly. I swear, haha. Now, I'm multi-purpose as well. Maybe Joyce and I would be entered into public speaking contests as well, she did say that she didn't want to do it alone. Hey, we could drag Daichi into our mayhem as well. Ms. President was actually really funny as well.

This is the real crecendo of things, today our brand-new CRV arrived! It's "abalaster-silver" and it smells nice. I've always liked the smell of new cars... I drove really smoothly, and I'm trying to get used to the high view from it. Actually, as of now, I've only got 2 rides in it... I could go on and on on this, but won't, I (for once) want to go to sleep.

So ja!
