years ago, now a step away.

ohmyohmyohmyohmy...

The prom is tomorrow.

... should I say something monumental or a cliche reaction/expression/curse like s***? Nope. Definitely not. I'll just write about my day.

Just after our Thursday worship at the auditorium, my shoe broke. As in really broke. It doesn't even have heels! It's just... years old I guess. But good thing it was only, completely smashed after my last "class" before the program. Good thing Erika lent me her flip flops- thank you! So the teacher's day presentation went by... fast. Mrs. Villas gave us, her student-teacher substitutes, a bar of Hersheys Chocolate which my friends and I devoured the minute I got back with it.

Oh, and one of my batchmates lent me "The Book of Answers"- I love it. Made my day. :) Or I hope it will, tomorrow.

I asked: Maayos ba ang prom namin bukas?
It said: Expect the Unexpected.

Which I don't really get since you expect the unexpected, then the unexpected will become the expected, right? Anyway, here's another one which I laughed upon seeing the answer:

Madadapa/Mapapahiya (I can't remember which I asked!) ba ako sa prom bukas? Answer: NO.

Just plain no. That's positive! :)) But I have to admit, the last part is my favorite:

Yayaman ba ako?
Answer: Yes.

Just plain yes. YES! Woohoo!

This afternoon, I went to Index Salon for an aromatheraphy. Wow. My hair looks so straight, smooth, silky, light and even smells nice! So sleek. It's like it's refreshed again! That night, Therese and I practiced walking in our heels whilst watching American Idol and helping her (Peanutz), study for a test.

Peanutz gave me her annual picture. She looks just like her dad! :)

I just finished packing my overnight bag for the sleepover tomorrow at Mariel's. But I doubt there will be much sleeping! She'll pick me up at 6:oo and we're all going together! Me, Mariel, Estelle, Carllyn and Bandoy! WOW! Just like what we thought of during our first year. -sigh- Awesome. :)

Thoughts about tomorrow? As of now, I'm... passive. I mean, I'm not nervous or excited as to loose any sleep on it. Maybe I'm just... going with the flow. I mean, I am thrilled... especially for the Agnes' After Party at McDonalds! How cute! The whole class in gowns eating fast food! In the middle of the night as well. I can't wait.

Oh, and I also can't wait to accidentally step on a "Narra tree." You see, one of my closests and longest-time-ever friends shared to me her heck-of-a-drama love life earlier today. And like the rest of the barkada, who thinks the guy isn't cute physically (I didn't want to judge his looks), I agree that he doesn't deserve her. He's a jerk. I want to "accidentally" step on his foot. Or feet. My friend deserves a whole damn better!

But other than that brutal urge, I think prom's going to be amazing.

Goodluck Juniors and Seniors o8-o9!

poor unfortunate feet...

Even lady guard greeted me "Good morning ma'am" as I got off the car wearing the most formal blouse I own, my mom's khaki colored slacks and Tita Ana's white strappy sandals with a 1-inch heel. -sigh- Presenting a CLE teacher. I looked like a teacher according to my family, friends and classmates! It's a good thing since it means I'm wearing proper clothes but I also got a bit annoyed by their continuous exclamations of "Wow! I didn't know you have curves!"

Excuse me, I'm female too you know.

Anyway, I spent half the day doing nothing (oh, I played Sims University @ the Discipline Coordinator's office! Nice. (: )at all in those shoes that hurt my toes. Our "classes" would begin after lunch. I had to spend 200 minutes standing and being teacher-y. It was okay. The students were a bit noisy but at least they're obedient. And I'm glad that I substituted for an elementary teacher, I don't want to teach a High school class, except maybe my batch of course.

The spoilers of my day are the homeworks from the missed classes and chemistry investigatory project and health. I got my results for the quizzes in chem and they were okay: 28/35 and 26/35 - I expected to get lower. But we have a retest on Monday. Great. How am I supposed to study? I'll get home from the sleepover at Saturday afternoon and our fiesta is on Sunday. But I have a bigger thing to worry about: getting our Flavored water tested at BFAD. What the heck?

Next week, I'm to report in AP and Health as well. -groans- When will we have a 'break'? As in, to shake off our (I'm assuming) "hang-over" from the prom. Speaking of that event, they gave out the scented invitations today. Gah. Only a day away and it's prom! And I'm still devouring food like a pig.

there's always a first...

The week of the prom, and it's like the only thing we ever talk about! Today we had our prom orientation- about proper etiquette, dress codes, the program and other preparations. After school, mom and I picked up my gown at Sari-Sari. Let's just say that I saw it in a better light now. Hell, even the 'fashionistas' at home (in other words, every female plus one gay) thought it was nice. Now all I need to worry about is walking in those heels and my hair and make-up. I can practice not breathing in between. Heh. It's even ironic that our lesson in AP - French Revolution - has somehow made a connection to my dress.

French Revolution - abuse of Nobility's powers and priveleges - King Louis XVI - Marie Antoinette - gowns - corsets - my gown. Get it?

Anyway, another shocking incident today, or tomorrow to be precise is me (and Erika as my partner) being the Student Teacher in CLE for the grade five students. Naturally, I worried about what I was going to wear. A teacher in Chucks? I'd like it but no. "It's simply isn't done." -Now where have I heard that? Good thing I fit Chuchi's slacks and my mom's shoes. Bandoy is also a student teacher- for Filipino! Go Tatay! :)

Gah. I need to sleep. But I have to do my filipino homework first.

I still LOVE Katy Perry's song Thinking of You. :)
