Bye bye Summer o9!

The Book of Answers was wrong!

M's my classmate! And E & CJ & C! Hello IV-St. Rita. :) Only, MA is not my classmate, and CB. MA's been my classmate since 1st year! Well, actually, I think since grade 5 but we were not that close back then. -sigh- That just sucks. To think it'll be our last year since we're going off to different colleges after graduation. Oh, and another thing that bothers me this year is that we're only 2 sections! I don't think any of us moved (we were already few before) so why change? The top ten's going to be brutal... as CJ says, the TOUGH TEN... I think our adviser is Mrs. Adri. I'm actually 90% sure she is, based on our bulletin board with ALGEBRA written on it. Yipee. Not.



Tomorrow, after settling into class, the discipline committee members are to proceed to their assigned classrooms. Estella, a second year student, and I were assigned to Grade One Red under Ms. Jela's care. MA's with her sister, assigned to the other grade one section. And Therese's with CJ handling grade 3. We are to stay with them for the whole morning in the auditorium. So we won't be able to bond with our class yet. -sigh- When we found out about this, MA and I comforted ourselves with the thought that at least WE will be near each other, thinking we would be classmates. BROKEN RECORD! You see, MA and I with 2 other friends of ours have been classmates since 1st year! There's an unspoken bond between the four of us, and now I broke away from them!

So goodbye summer 09, the last summer before graduating at Colegio de Sta. Rosa... hello Senior year. I want this year to be the BEST. No regrets, though I'm starting to think that that's not possible...

Anyway, we attended mass at Greenbelt this afternoon. And I got one of those small scrolls with Bible messages written in them. Mine read:

Humiliation can follow fame, while from obscurity a man can lift his head. A man may buy much for little, but pay for it seven times more.

- Sirach 20: 10

Beautiful isn't it? Well, off to bed. Need to get some shut eye if I am to be alert for tomorrow. Hope it'll turn out okay. Go go go! :)

of all the ironies and supposed to be's...

"Expect the Unexpected." - The Book of Answers 02.o5.o9

What I expected: I'm going to have my period on o2.06.09
Outcome: Positive

What I didn't expect: It's going to rain on 02.06.09
Outcome: Positive

This tells us what?

I woke up early this morning, for once. Most probably because I slept early, for once. I had a few minutes to myself so I turned on my iPod and shuffled. But before that, I asked the question: What's my prom going to be like later? Hoping the song that would play is a suitable answer. It played a song from the movie Anastasia, one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It played A Journey to the Past.

I thought at first: how? It is my first time to attend a prom, dress up all fancy for a school event with my friends. Then during the mass I realized that the event later already had memories in it. My friends and I imagined about this day eversince we were in the fifth grade. In first year, we made plans to go together... and in a few hours we will. My classmates said they were excited to see me all dressed up since I, allegedly, am not girly enough for them.

The prom already held memories of my younger self. And I hope that later, it would be more memorable.

It just sucks that today is my first day (I feel fat!) and that it's pouring.

Lyrics: A Journey to the Past

Heart don't fail me now
Courage don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here

People always say
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear

Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past

Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong

Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong

Well starting now I'm learning fast
On this journey to the past

Home, love, family
There was once a time I must've had them too
Home, love, family
I will never be complete until I find you

One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go

Back to who I was
Onto find my future
Things my heart still needs to know

Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home
At last

... running circles in my head.

RAMBLE!

I'm supposed to be either a.) sleeping or b.) studying for AP. But after reviewing non-stop (with the occasional distractions of my cousins ♥) for chemistry, I feel really, really tired. Why not sleep? I don't know. I guess I really am a nocturnal person. Hahaha. Vampires. Or, like the saying goes, "Old habits die hard" I'm just procrastinating.

When is Christmas Break? Today is the 1st day after the sembreak. Today was also the day my classmates saw my new haircut. No comment on that. So anyway, I felt really bad! And not because of the haircut, but because I haven't been productive during the rest days! Well, it is a rest day afterall, but that's not an excuse! I'm a THIRD YEAR student! I can't slack off now! [[Though I really am.]] Earlier, I had a conversation with Mariel. From how it went to interpreting poems about housewives to campus tours then college courses, I dunno. But anyway, it's already the third quarter and I still don't know which course to take! All I'm sure is that it's not medicine. Anyway, Mariel told me it would be best if I got one English/Computer related since they are my strong points. I admit, journalism is pretty tempting. But I want to have a stable job when I graduate... I'm the eldest after all! And I have 2 siblings! One will start schooling just after I graduate! So what I need is a course related to my strong points and get a decent and stable job afterwards. Hmmm.... what about becoming a teacher? Hell no. What a sick joke.

-end ramble-

I ♥ my CUZINs!
Message: Hang in there Jong! [[can't post this...]]

Over there.

Extra extra! Read all about it! First day of school highs and lows!

III-St. Monica. Adviser: Ms. Jacquelin Asis [[first year English teacher.]]

A list would be simpler.

• MOST of my fwendz are at St. Monica's
• We're trying to make it work. But the schedule is a bugger. The lunch schedule to be precise. If it won't change. Mariel and I will not have lunch with the others FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR. [[this sucks the most]]
• Auditor [[for 3 years already]]
• Classmates are ok. Seating arrangement? Will take a while to get used to.
• Managed to distribute chocolates and other 'pasalubongs' =)
• Received a heart warming letter from Elmira [[I MISS HER SO BAD!!!]] which I gloated to my family. [[dunno why. But it made Jom cry. --That rhymes.]]
• Received a gift from Kiwi! Aww! It's an Alice and Wonderland notebook and pencil case! It's so kawaii~! [[also gloated]] Thanks Kiwi!
• Made plans for a sudden visit to my house: do Yoga from Estelle.
• Sudden Chemistry homework. Yoga plans changed into a group study with [[surprisingly]] Jom's help.
• Ate pizza and chocolates and drank coke.
• The study group thingy made it all okay.
• I MISS MY FWENDZ SO BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!
• Realized Kuya Dan's got it worse. Compared to his, chemistry homework is a peachy subject.
• All in all. It was a very DIFFERENT first day of school. It's fine... for now.

I hope I'll survive the year.
