rumble!

(was written yesterday)

So okay, I haven’t been updating anything since… ever! Hahahaha. There’s actually a reason to it.

Number one: I’m always late in coming home from school. I partly blame my bus for it, but that’s high school life for you. Well, a high school life that includes riding a bus everyday. Don’t get me wrong though, I have fun going round and round the school with kate and sometimes quincy. We escort chie down the slope then when she’s safely out the school gates, we go back up and own a gazebo for ourselves. Yup. There’s no point in denying that we go crazy in it, kids or no kids.

Number two: the projects. They might be fun, but they DO take a toll. Currently, I’m almost done editing everyone’s work for the CL project and all I need is Judy’s so that we could all print it already. The THE (technology and home economics) poster has to wait cause I AM goddamn tired right now. World his. isn’t really a piece of cake and the joint chem/fil project is… well, let’s just say that I’m still trying to rack my brains to come up with something good.

Number three: I’m always tired. No seriously, I am. For a few days now, I always came home with my eyes red. It’s an indicator that I’ve stressed them out again I’ve put too much pressure in using them. True, I haven’t gotten any decent sleep and I most probably have to cram a few more things tomorrow, but the hell. My mom now insists of me going to see a doctor. That might happen next Saturday (since I’m busy and so is everyone else) so yeah. Let’s see if things turn out well. My parents are scared that I’ve finally started developing the thing called ‘glaucoma’. I seriously do NOT need it, because it leads to blindness.

Number four: I just felt lazy. ‘nuff said.

So today, I woke up pretty late. I guess my body just hibernated longer to store enough energy for the following week. It’s not really a crime to oversleep during weekends, and my parents NOW understand why I do. Before, they’ve always been mad at me for oversleeping on Saturdays but right now, I think they now know I NEED the extra hours. So woke up at around 8, listened to KAT-TUN and NEWS songs kate made me listen to until 9 and my day started there. Breakfast was instant noodles (no surprise here) and I kinda ended up practicing for my piano session.

I’m happy (and proud) to say that I read the whole of ‘Voice of the Heart’ by Henri Van Gael and played it just as well. Uhm, not really like a pro but get? I got to read and play it in just one morning! Now that’s something you don’t hear me doing ever so often.

As of now, I think I can say that the piano is officially a part of my life. Well, it did before but not that much since I felt like a total failure. It’s the pride that’s surging through me right now :D

So lunch, then an hour of piano then a quick change of clothes then out. I had to meet chie at 3 30 and lo and behold! I got there first! hahaha! It’s a first that I showed up before she did. Well, she slept anyway and must’ve forgotten about the time. So yeah, I waited for her for around 15 – 30 minutes. I had ate remie with me (my oh-so-lovable chaperone/assistant/PA)n so we kinda just talked about the people skating at the skating rink below us.

I don’t know how to skate, btw, so yeah. I haven’t tried and I think I might never will. I even backed down on roller skates because I didn’t like falling. Really, I don’t like landing on my butt or finding myself on the floor ‘accidentally’ because I couldn’t balance. I admit, I don’t KNOW how to balance. I mean, even just walking on the straight cement divider at school is a hard task for me, what else can be roller and ice skating be?

Chie showed up then we started going to random stores, but first to toy kingdom. I forgot the term, but it start with the letter g. anyway, it’s something like you have to get tokens so that you could get this egg shaped thing that has a figurine inside, mostly for cellphones. It’s cool and I got myself something with a panda on it. I also saw a hippo plushie. OH MAY GAWD was it cute >< it was small, purple, huggable and it had hearts on it too! Cuteness! It was also 20% off too…

I just didn’t have the money to buy it.

So okay, it took us a few more minutes to get to shang. Prior to that, we stayed at United Colors of Bennington (is it correct?) because tita was buying gifts. I kinda went crazy for the kid section outfits. They were so CUTE!!! The designs were so CUUUTTEEEE!!! Gaaaaaaaaaah~

Then it rained too.

We got there and met up with everyone else. We ended up having dinner (included with the interview) at Max’s. It turned out to be fun :D ate liya’s a nice person and a lot friendly too.

And here I was, expecting we’d be interviewing someone who was dead serious. So okay, she proved me wrong! But I thought all chemists (or scientists) were serious and straight to the point.

People can be… so… err, unexpected.

Ate liya’s sister is cute too :D but then I thought she was the bunso until she told me about the real bunso being home by now (about my age). So okay, that was unexpected as well. She must be someone older than me, thought it doesn’t look like it.

Oh, and she’s the only person I now know who does hand shakes as a greeting. Old-styled girl but pretty sweet :D

So now, I’m definitely tired and almost close to dropping dead on my bed because of the fatigue… my feet were killed by the damn doll shoes and I feel sticky too.

Shang is not the type of place I would like to hang out in. it’s too… well, it’s too sophisticated and the people there are… let’s just say that in mega, the people there are plebians and commoners while the people in shang are of noble blood. No kidding, I found myself out of place there. The people there wore extravagant clothes, extravagant jewelry, had the latest gadgets and followed the latest trends. It’s creepy to the fact that even the small-by-the-side-shop sales ladies looked at me like as if I wasn’t supposed to be there.

Well, I’m sorry if I HAD to be there.

It’s a different crowd out there, I tell you. All I liked there was the revolving doors. That’s just it.

On the way home, I bought the planter’s brand of cheese balls. It’s been a long time since I saw a can of it, and I just HAD to buy one before it disappeared to God knows where again. I think the last time I ate something like that was… the year 2000 :D

So now, to cap off everything, here are words of wisdom from our resident chemist, ate liya :

“try to do what you really want to do. If your work is something you really enjoy, you’ll never work for the rest of your life. If you enjoy your work, you’ll most probably excel at it as well *insert grin here*”

night!
