more messages from rudy sensei :)
(copy-paste from the YG for all fo you to read)
To all:
I now gather that classes are called off for the entire week, and that your exams on Oct. 5-7 will likewise be rescheduled, although the new schedules are not yet clear. In any case, we will have Monday, Oct. 5, to study Lessons 8 and 9 in class prior to your periodical exam.
If the new schedule of exams is Oct. 12-14 (the most likely case), then our oral exam will be on Oct. 19, and we will have to move the field trip to Oct. 26. In this case, I will have to ask Shing to reschedule our bus reservation to Oct. 26.
If the new schedule of the exams is Oct. 7-9 (not so likely case), then our oral exam will still be on Oct. 12, and we will proceed with the field trip on Oct. 19. In this case, there is no need to reschedule our bus reservation.
Shing, please try to get information from the 'grapevine' as soon as you can, so we can act accordingly.
Thanks and regards to all,
Rudy N.

just for all of you to be aware :P --shing

'Gubat for you Lord!' : the awesome retreat
my camera just failed me right now and currently, it's trying to suck in as much power to start working again... *sigh* and i wanted to post the pictures now too O_O
but those pictures can't show all of you how much the retreat was fun. although retreats SHOULD be fun, i guess this was exceptional. i know it'll all sound so boring, but for me, this year's retreat was more of something 'new' than something 'old'.
sure, there were the same meditations and the same 45-minute praying stuff (which i miraculously endured, thank God!) but what struck me the most (anu toh? journal entry number 5? hahaha) was the fact that i saw a range of emotions more different than those i've heard before. they didn't talk about 'fractions' in the class( come to think of it, there's none to mention) or the usual 'i don't like how you do this and that'... i heard stories about friendship, about family, about brothers and sisters and dads and moms and of course, good old faith.
and as a side note: grad pic tomorrow... hoh shiz :))

and in the middle of it all, i found myself facing something i haven't faced for even 6 years.
i thought i closed that book long long ago. i thought, 6 years ago, that i didn't have a chance in heaven or hell to patch things up, so i kept the memory somewhere in my mind where i would've defenitely forgotten about it.
but the only thing that took to bring it out again was the same person who i thought would've never forgive me.
at first, i thought 'oh hey, hiroe's going to talk about something... she doesn't talk much so i'mma listen cause maybe this'll be interesting' --some attitude i have :P-- so i did, i didn't look at her much, but i kept my ears open to what she was talking about.
at first, she was going on and on about herself and her family, then she added the graade 5 mix into it. so okay, that got me. when i looked at her, even in the dark, i knew she was looking straight at me. okay, maybe we were both looking here and there but i knew what was coming next.
'during the time before the 3rd quarter exam, around november or december, we... (can't write it. what was said should stay there)... and in the proccess, i hurt one of my friends' then she goes and looks at me and then says 'i'm sorry elisha'
that got me. i felt like the old wounds got ripped open again and i felt like i was that fifth grader again. i felt like the lowest thing on earth for having incured the wrath of one of my close friends. but what exactly she was saying sorry for, i had still yet to find out.
'during the sixth grade, i thought you hated me so much, but i didn't do anything about it'
what the--? i thought YOU were angry at ME! so all this time, we thought we were angry at each other but in fact, it wasn't the case. then all those 6 years were spent under false pretence? i know, right now, i'm laughing at what i'm writing, but back there, at the conference room, i felt angry at myself for being a coward all this time. i really thought she was angry at ME. i thought back then that i had done something defenitely wrong which she hated, and therefore got me into a difficult situation. i was angry, depressed, felt like i got cheated out of something and crying the shit out of me.
so for the past 6 years... didn't you even get the letter i sent you through kate? didn't you even READ it? that letter way my very last attempt to apologize for whatever i had done wrong, but you never answered it. well, okay maybe you did, but your only reply was a rushed note saying 'it's okay' with no defenite reason. i left it at that, because maybe you never wanted to see my face again.
it's funny. now that i'm thinking over it without even crying, i think we're both cowards, hiroe. LOL. really. i hope you and i both move forward. you said so yourself: you'll try to change. i hope you do :)
so i guess, i've attained closure to one of the many issues in my life. (short prayer: Dear God, thank you for putting me into 4-5. even if i thought i was goung to be lonely and depressed about it at first, i thank you for changing my mind and giving me the strength to go on. if i didn't stick to this, i wouldn't have attained this closure. thank you very much :)) and to be honest, i love 4-5. maybe i love 3-7 more, but i know, with each day, i can grow to love gubat more and more and by the time graduation comes, or even when christmas comes, i know i'll love them the way i can love a classroom.
the palancas i got where, hands down, very pretty and meaningful. i think my favourite would be bea's. hers was even oral :)) but then again, since i like it so much, i wouldn't forget every word she said. bea. i love you too :)
oh gosh. now that i think about it, i haven't even said anything back to those who made me palancas. so okay, maybe i did with pia. i SWEAR. LOL. and no, i'm not saying what was written in it :P
gubat... i swear... one day... really... i'll be able to fit right in with you guys without hesitating or anything. but at least, let me tell you that i love you all, no matter how weird and completely foreign you guys are. wait. scratch that foreign part. you guys aren't alien to me anymore. at least now i know you're all human :D you're all just freakishly smart, but that's a good thing :)
retreat food: the BEST
retreat bed: i borrowed 2 more blankets :P
retreat washroom and shower room: i'm not scared of you anymore! yey! --got up at 4:30 to do some business inside the washroom and to take a bath... alone cause angel, zhar and lorraine were done--
retreat conference room: cold... really cold O_O
overall rating for the retreat: the BEST i could have. awesome :D
...
after the retreat, i rushed all the way to the computer labs and met miss b maybe halfway up the stairs.
so okay, i'm not going to flaunt it or anything, but i'm just happy about this: the whole write-up team has finally been endorsed and is now ready to function as a write up team without any barricades! YES! it's official, and i can't help but smile at it.
miss b seriuosly asked me if i was ready to serve and to BE the write-up head, and i told her yes, i am. i really am. i've been wanting to be part of the yearbook ever since grade 7, but what pushed me to be in it and to push the issue was the fact that i wanted to support chie as best as i can cause she's the over-all head. it would've been okay too if i were just a staffer. i just want to give my help and support to chie and to kate (cause she's chie's sexytary) as much as i can before we all graduate. call it my legacy or parting gift or whatever: i'll make it all happen.
and after the retreat, i just realized that i WANTED to serve everyone better. i wanted to do better in my org. i wanted to be a bettter class rep to my elective mates. i wanted to be a good classmate to all those in gubat. i wanted to be a better friend, a better person, a better daughter. i found a lot of glitches in making myself 'awesome' and i want to change it. maybe the year will end without me being awesome at all, but at least i want to give this year my best shot, because this is my last and final chance to stand up and do the things i wanted to do a long time ago and the things i can actually do.
right now, i know i can. i can feel it.
