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! :)

tick tock tick tock :)

YM sucks.

No, really. It's been 2 days since we (M, E and of course me. :D) had a decent conference without it ending briefly. The cause? YM sucks. One of us would start a conference but not all of us can see each other's messages.

YM sucks. Twitter's cool and Meebo's our gay (according to E) alternative!

Anyway, school is about to start in a few days time... I haven't covered my books, cleaned my bag or even set my sleeping time straight. I think I'm nocturnal, somniferous during the day. :D I don't want to go to school yet, though I don't want the classes to be moved due to the H1N1 panic. I miss my friends but I'm scared to know whether or not they'll be my classmates for the last time. M & I were supposed to go to school last Monday to check the sections. Unfortunately (or not) it's going to be posted this friday. :| Delaying the inevitable? Is that a sign?

Signs are bad. When I was buying some school supplies at National Bookstore, I came across the Book Of Answers. I was texting M at that time, and so I asked whether or not we'd be classmates. Tentenenen! The answer was...

NO.

Just plain negative. I don't know what to think of it.

Actually, no. I don't want to think of it right now! I'll just ramble about the upcoming New Moon movie. I saw the trailer this morning. And after watching it, I thought... BORING. It gives too much of the beginning away. The Twilight trailer was better, and that's saying something.



My only driving force to watch this movie on theaters is because of TAYLOR LAUTNER.
Reason? Um, hello. Just look at him at the trailer! Get it? :)) E's driving force may be him or Dakota Fanning who plays Jane.

Well, I'm trying to make the most out of this summer now that it's days away from my Senior Year. How? I splurged on ANIME (Pandora Hearts and Princess Tutu (I know, I know. But I used to like it! I still like it!)), MANGA (Hana to Akuma), MUSIC (soundtripin' the summer away) and of course various E-BOOKS and Fictionpress Romances. (too many to list) Oh, and YM of course. Even Peanutz is going all watching Gakuen Alice (courtesy of Moi), Digimon (apparently there's a cute guy much like Natsume) and Boys Over Flowers (Mom's to blame)! I haven't seen much of my other cousin though... after we hacked his site... he isn't paying his debts!

Summer's about to end...

... I still haven't decided on a college course.

just BLiNK

I took the Ateneo College Entrance Exams today.

Let me emphasize that statement.

I, a mere third year student, took the Ateneo Colleger Entrance Exams today as the qualifiying test for AJSS (Ateneo Junior Summer Seminar).

whoa.

There were lots of students and most of them didn't even look like High school juniors! There were 33 rooms I think. And about 35-40 each room. Only 70 students will be accepted.

whoa. I repeat.

The English part is easy. The Mathematics? Um. Not. Ever. Impossible. Good luck sucker! Hn.

I only started to study yesterday night since last week, I've been arriving home at 7 PM because of Cheering Practices. (Props yet again.) I was also out looking for bamboo (and not because of Pandas) for props materials. So yeah. No time. Well, I do have time but I was already too tired and a bit lazy to work. What you sow is what you reap.

It'll take a miracle for me to be chosen, to put it quite bluntly. But like what our (Me, Mara, CJ, Josette and Gascon) parents told us: It's just a practice test. Now I know what to expect at the Entrance test of Ateneo. Weird. I'd like to study there yet I still don't know which course to take.

Anyway, the exam was from 7:30 to 12:30 with a ten minute interval (spent lining up at the ladies' CR) There were some ironies or coincidences perhaps, that day.
  • My proctor is Mr. Solis - a character from "Karalitaan", a play we just read at Filipino class
  • When we are about to pass our exam, as if on cue, my watch beeped. It was alarmed at 12:25 and I didn't bother to restart it. Just a coincidence, a silly one.

And when I arrived home, I fell asleep (that is, after I checked my e-mail) until 4:30 PM.

Like I said, whoa.

five minutes to midnight

Well, technically it's not. But you get my point. It's the big 2oo9.

It's seems so fast. The next thing I know, it'll be the end of the Junior Year. Hello last summer as a HS student. Then 4th year and off to college.

Speaking of Colleges, my Tita lent me a book entitled "Do What You Are", a self-help book that's supposed to match your career with your personality. According to the Myers Brigg Test, I am a INFJ - Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging. And guess what, it depicted me well. So well that my career choices are what I was thinking of anyway (so no help there.) I'm destined to be a Librarian, Teacher, Nun, Novelist, Playwright, Social worker etc. I mean, how coincidental is that? It's a very well written guide and helpful too, in a way. The coincidences (or probably inevitables) are shocking though. Remind me never to underestimate psychology ever again.

Oh, and another thing I found out after reading this book is that I am: "a catalyst for positive change" and is part of the minority (based on population.) Approximately 1 % of America actually...

Happy New Year. I need to write a list.

BTW, I love the Chipmunk version of Booty Music. -linkie
