so fast

I was in a bad mood today... and to think I've been asleep almost all day! I don't why. I was just so tired.

Anyway, here's the result of the Cheerdance competition... the champion is... the seniors. They broke the record. In a positive light, it's our duty to continue the legacy :) Next year, when we are the seniors, we'll win too. But despite that, I had a great fair. It probably has a lot to do with my batch being the "JAILERS". I didn't waste money on kiss marks, body binds and jails (duh) this year. Hahaha. :) I also love our red DANGER ribbons. Cool :) As tradition, my friends and I bought the cheap snow cone. Hahaha. But it's not so cheap now. It used to be only 10 pesos when we were in Grade four and now it's 20 pesos! Getting back on the cheering thing, I was a bit pissed at Jom for attending the fair but was not able to watch my batch perform but more on Kuya Dan at not attending at all. They would've enjoyed the tinikling. Everyone did. Actually, the third year had a lot of supporters. Proof? A second year's mother (mom's friend from Ally's class), Ate Trisha's batch (Seniors last year...) and even a couple of random people whom Mariel's mom overheard saying that we will be the champions. But no. Is it a coincidence that the Seniors regained victory after 7 years? I know 7's a lucky number. If my batch broke it, we'd be 8th and I thought it's the Chinese's symbol for infinity. Our batch name is uno infinitum after all. One forever.

After cheering, Peanutz, Jom and I enjoyed the rides. Actually, we only rode the Ferris Wheel together since Peanutz didn't want to ride the Octopus. Too bad. I love the Octopus! It wasn't even that scary. The one we rode at Ateneo is higher. Anyway, later we went to watch the Phat Gurlz Crew concert. It would've been a real blast if we weren't so tired and the show started on time. Then we went to Power Plant and ate at Crepes & Cream! I love it! Proof? That's my second time eating there... the first time was the day before. :) We got home around its' closing time and we sang Baby We're Invincible by A Rocket to the Moon by the steps at JP Rizal. We were half expecting the people to throw money at us. It was only our 2nd trip out together and someone got scolded again. It was Jom. Is it my turn next?

I'm pannicking now. The Investigatory Project is due project and I've done NOTHING.

3 things I love at the moment: My batch jacket (love the red!), A Modern Faerie Tale series by Holly Black and Hey Juliet by LMNT.

revitalizing

Tomorrow is the school fair! Hooray! :) And on Saturday is the much awaited, of course, cheering competition. We watched the final dry run today with the props that we, the props people, have labored for oh I'm not sure, a week perhaps? Anyway, I'm glad it's finished. But that reminds me that we still have to decorate the jail booth-- after years of waiting, I'm finally going to experience what is to be a JAILER! woohoo! Anyway, how are we supposed to decorate a jail booth (supposed to be fierce looking and stuff) with a theme "Revitalizing the Rosenan Spirit?" Roses with thorns? Idea rejected.

As we, namely me and Eevee, were painting the jail, a few elementary students came up to us and asked about the booth. My god. I'm good in English when it comes to writing but an articulate speaker? Give me a script please. But that's when I realized how different we (as in my batch's generation) from the elementary students nowadays. First of all, the english thing. I know the school is trying to promote the language through speak for a star but... we're Filipino for pete's sake! Secondly, I think there's something disturbing about their liking to be jailed. Yes. They actually want to be jailed. How sick (if that's not a strong word) is that? One of them actually asked me if I'll let her in if she pays me 200 Pesos. Like I said, twisted.

On the Cheering Competition this Saturday, all I can say is: wow. The performances from all batches were so amazing! I was cheering all throughout my batch's performance and not because we're required to do so as a proof of loyalty and support but because I really couldn't help myself. And to think I doubted our umm... unconventional choreographers. The Freshmen were cute and the Sophies, whose choreo is friends with ours, are okay. The Seniors however... wow. A perfect performance: routine, cheer and props. Not to mention originality. They might be the ones to break the so-called 'curse' wherein for 7 years, no Senior class has ever won the cheering. But I think... feel that their cheer lacks something... SPiCE I think. Something that my batch has... or maybe this is just my loyalty speaking. But either way, I'm excited for Saturday. We have batch jacket! It's a shade of blood red (I seem to have a penchant for that color since Junior year) with our surnames at the back. How official looking is that?

But even if I can hardly wait for Saturday, I'm still excited for tomorrow. We're going to spray our prisoners with water mixed with gold glitters. Fun. :)

Red-hot.

P.S. Oh and by the way, I decided to make a list of books I have read since the first day of the year. This should be fun... and long.
