(typed yesterday night)
I know everyone who’s been tired, stressed and sick for the last 10 hours all go crawling to bed when night comes. I’m one of those people, but I can hardly come crawling to bed yet jus because I still have a lot of things to do.
Yeah, this is another insert task I’ve been sneaking in alongside my computer usage. Writing down daily events in my ugly notebook helps but typing is so much faster.
So now! Yesterday (Monday) we ate at Bite Club and me and my dad split up on a 9.5 inch burger. Yeah, THAT big. I’m not kidding! It was as big as a damn plate! I beat my dad into eating a half though :P comments for Bite club : a small place (narrow), not really with fast service but with really REALLY great food. It beats mcdonald’s French fries big time. I know I’ve also said this about brothers burger but then, they compete head to head now. The burger was really yummy too, despite its’ size, and I can actually say it’s the best damn burger I’ve ever eaten in my whole entire life.
Today, I flunked my THE test… would possibly flunk my IQ and personality test in guidance hour… same goes for my chem quiz… yeah. The only thing I’m happy about today is that we’ve finally passed the damn poster to our batch rep (yes, without her getting mad at us :P) and we’ve finally scored 207 in the world his. stomper game. Yes, I like the stomper game and I love my groupmates.
Did I mention I’ve got friends inside the classroom already? Yeah, I do now. I feel happy and on this third week, I feel like I want to do school work with those I’m starting to trust. (yes, mikee, I’ll help you with the IP. I’ll make this year different than the previous years you had to suffer doing it alone :D) I’m starting to actually SEE the people who’ll top our class already… strange but you can actually see that distinct little line that separates them from those who cram! It’s just an observation though…
My earphone’s finally bust >< no, I wasn’t waiting for it to get bust but then yeah… accidents happen. So now, my ipod won’t be much active anymore… I actually love my ipod now, though it hasn’t been updated in a very very very VERY long time.
Today, me and my busmates uncovered the secret identity of our new bus conductor. His name’s Neil and he’s only 16. asked why he wasn’t in school, it was because he was waiting for his kid sister (in 3rd year) to finish and they’d go to school together (ain’t that touching and sweet?) next year as seniors. Asked why he was working in our bus as a conductor, he said he just wanted to and that because it was boring not doing anything at all. Other facts state that he’s taken (oh yeah… leia just HAD to ask) and that we kept him from sitting at the front so that we’d have someone to tease.
It’s actually fun to ask questions. Being inquisitive isn’t THAT bad. I hope these skills come in handy one day.
Kate was in a pretty bad mood when we left school. Something should’ve cheered her up by now. Of course, she’s not going to tell me what the fuck happened (cause I’d be over reacting and all and I’d worry then I’d get less concentrated then I lose focus altogether and the blame’s on her – proven true… ) but I hope she’s fine.
We saw ichie off (asked tita to bring me home too >< I mean their house) and stayed at the gazebo in the preschool are with kitty and Joanna. Bought avocado con hielo (because I though it fun and yummy) and pretty much talked about super random stuff. Yup, my best friends are random, and so must I be.
One more thing: I never want to hear statements that go something like ‘i’ve done nothing but this and that and that and this’ because it’s… cge, nakakabastos yung statement na yun, sa totoo lang. Don’t make me see something like that because it feels horrible in my opinion because all I’ve done since the start is to study, study, study, and study.
I don’t want to hear the word ‘august’ too.
You have all been forewarned :D
...
(typed just now)
for the second time, my brother's being sweet. yesterday, he remembered to buy me yogurt then today he bought me icecream... CHOCOLATE icecream at that. how sweet can you brother be?
tired, with lots of things to do and another scratch from kate to boot. no wonder i find myself going crazy at times.

the typhoon named 'frank'
note: this was written last night
...
(listening to aishiteru by Mi)
the rain, as of now, has subsided quite a bit, but the damage to the garden outside is still in the same condition as it was this morning.
Last night, I must’ve woken up 5 times through out the night, in different intervals. At 4 in the morning, I was sick of waking up. I didn’t even know WHY I woke up, but I just did. Maybe it was because of the cold or because it was raining so hard I heard the pitter patter of the rain even through my dreams… if I had any. At 8, I was awake but I pushed myself to remain in bed until 9, an hour after. The only reason I got out of bed was because my mom knocked on my door to let her in.
The Indian mango tree beside our gate fell during the night, and now it’s hazardously lying across our driveway, stretching a wire (I think it was an extension of a light) to its limit. It’s sad because we wouldn’t be looking forward to fresh Indian mangoes anymore. It’s a big waste too, since it saves us from buying Indian mangoes by the kilo. Most of all, that particular tree held my interest once: it bore a heart-shaped mango that almost fell on me one day. It all happened when I felt down and depressed, thinking that life didn’t love me in the very least.
The rain fell steadily all day long, the wind closing the windowpanes for us. ‘Frank’, the typhoon that hit us, stayed all day. I didn’t even wash my hair today just because the water felt so cold and I forgot to heat up water. We ate arrozcaldo for lunch, a dish I haven[‘t eaten in a very long time, and went our own ways after that. My mom had an appointment at 3 and me and my bro just watched akazukin chacha for the whole afternoon.
As of now, we’re already at the 3rd disk (out of 4) and the story’s concentrationg (finally) on how in the world chacha, riya and shine-chan would defeat the evil lord and recover chacha’s parents. I was actually surprised to hear that chacha had 2 other weapons other than her beauty serene arrow :D she now has phoenix sword (piisuke!) and the bird shield… was it bird shield? Anyway, she’s set now but I still can’t see why there are more episodes.
In truth, I’ve never finished akazukin chacha. Maybe I did before, but I don’t remember anything now :D
Last night, tita jenny gave my bro an agouti-looking rabbit. At first, I said it’s name was ‘patches’, but my brother misunderstood everything and thought I said ‘peaches’. So now, we call the 2–month old rabbit ‘peaches’ but my bro spells it this way: peeches. Okay, he’s cute that way.
I like peaches a lot, since his fur is of the ‘strokable’ kind. He doesn’t like to be picked up and usually he’s frightened so that’s why I stroke his fur often, just so I can calm the creature. Soon enough, he closes his eyes and he’s fast asleep. I just pity him cause he still lives inside a carton box. We weren’t able to buy a cage for him today because of the storm, but I hope pa finds the time tomorrow. Peaches deserves better than a cramped carton box.
Say I’ve gone crazy but I read the news part of the newspaper cover to cover. It was supposed to be for the stomper game in world his. tomorrow, but since we don’t have classes tomorrow… damn. I even highlighted a lot of the words there!
What else? Yeah, I’ve been studying. It’s funny really. I’ve never expected this to happen to me, anything but this. I guess that’s what third year does to you: makes you all responsible in a weird way… and in a short time too! (must call mikee for our IP proposal tomorrow…)
I’m back to saving the world by recycling paper. I think I’ve lost my kit, but I have at least enough money to buy a new one. I’ve discovered a LOT of papers in one of my drawers and I couldn’t just throw it away. as the newspaper yesterday said, something ‘biodiversity’ thing was going to happen this year, and I decided to take part.
That’s all for today I guess.

the days just go by
for now, life is a bit hard. not only am i burdened with a lot of assignments but the rain has made me depressed yet again. i can't say how or why it did, but just seeing it rain makes me want to just sleep and forget everything else. it's a comfort that depresses my mood with every raindrop.
for other matters, i got sick one morning and then poof, it suddenly turned into a horrible 'near-to-death' experience. i've written everything already on my filipino journal (since i didn't know what to write) and it still creeps me out. what the hell did i eat?
the rain's a bit strong and my hands are basically tired. plus my eyes hav developed the skill called twitching. my stomach's rumbling too. i didn't eat breakfast in a hurry to go OL. hahahaha. i know, stupid.
actually, i haven't eaten anything decent in school. we're always in a hurry, always cramming, always reading, always grouping... it's like there's no more time for food. at least friends, they gave time for :D
can't think of anything to write anymore.
oh well

hard work over the weekend
(a day too late)
Weekends are supposed to be fun and relaxing. Weekends are supposed to be used up by going to church with the family and spending the rest of the time inside the mall. This weekend isn’t like that all…
It all started Saturday morning. I woke up at around 8 to go to my mom’s clinic real early for research. It then took me around 3 hours to find a worthy research (that looks credible enough) and to print what seemed to be an unprintable-looking pdf file. At around 12, I rushed back to the house for piano ( a miserable sounding session that seemed to be totally humiliating for me) and at 1 started to read what I had just printed.
No really, works of scholars are hard to understand at first. For an hour, I was just staring at the paper wondering what kind of language did the authors use. It sounded and looked like complete gibberish. I got the whole thing only this morning (after sleeping on it ><) and pieced it all together from 4 pm to 9 this evening. We celebrated father’s day at my uncle’s house with everyone else. Festivities of any kind are always upheld here, so yeah. Bea’s right: we ARE party people :D Right now, I can’t wash up just yet because my hand suddenly became numb (I handwritten my whole hw) and it’s freakin hot. Kare kano… I have to remember that! Lol Well, it’s another school day tomorrow. I can’t say I’m exactly ready and all… but I’m not nervous anymore. I find school enjoyable now, with all the people around me nice and all. We’re actually good kids ><>

first week... done
'it's only been 4 days but i feel like it's been a month since we started school' -dani
yeah. i agree with her. actually, everyone agrees. for the past 4 days, i've done nothing but hold my books and read them till late at night. i can say it's paid off a bit but that's not the problem at hand : i feel like i'm tired already of school life.
my class is actually great, considering that everyone's nice and cheery. well, pranksters and side-commenters are more like it but then we all get along... i think. for now, i've made friends already with the people on the right side of the classroom (where i sit) and i find them nice. honestly, they're all familiar faces that i haven't been classmates with and i find myself wondering now why i didn't try making friend with them before. they're nice, they're dear and fun too... not to mention they like to laugh and joke around a lot.
our AC's busted and we've been sweltering in the heat for 3 days now. yeah, it only worked during the first day. the leaders of our class have come up with the 'close the door quickly' sign (with matching reasons) on both the doors for the foreign (or other) people to see. the room actually gets colder when there's no one in it (we found that out when we went to the lab for a lesson).
what else? first quiz, first SW and first two group presentations went alright, forgetting the fact we were time pressured :D
but of course, though i like my classroom now, i still hangout with kate and ichie during recess, lunch and dismissal. they're the only one's i've got to pull me up now, and even if they're a wall barricade and a - classroom barricade between us all, i still like to think that we're closer than ever. the recess spot's now the far right staircase of the building (the one that's rarely used) and we laugh ourselves stupid cause we know no one hears us.
for the record, i've got 3 ugly-looking bruises in exchange of my attempts to humor kate. well, i've humored her 15-20 times and i'm lucky enough to only get 3 comebacks :D i'll try and ask bea to teach me something close to self defense ><
mmm... i'm not supposed to be updating but yeah... i guess the only times i'll be online now is saturday morning and if it's really important, certain evenings during weekdays. study habits have greatly improved and i've taken to reading while walking :D
homework's not done yet. better go :D
