Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my dad! I love him very much! hehe... :D

Important Notice

Yes, I know, no more cute little kitties all over the page. You're probably disappointed and such and won't visit my blog ever again, BUT before you do that, I want to state my reasons for taking off my old template:

1. It was messy and did not work on all computers/browsers.
2. However cute it was, this one is rather elegant and sophisticated, which I want myself to be. (Haha. I can hear you laughing.)
3. This one is a lot neater, and everything is clear.
4. You can comment on individual entries.
5. Well, I just felt like it. Expect this template not to last so long either.

So, that's all. And a little shameless plugging: Untangled, my fic with Rachelle has been updated. Read and review! :D

Inspiration 101

Sa post ko kahapon I mentioned na na-inspired ako kay mrs adapon. and now na inspire tlga ako, not by anything or anyone though. gagawin ko ngaun, gagawa ako ng bagong blog, but this time there's a twist to it. I'm calling it "Inspiration 101", and it is all about the people that inspire me, whether it be my friends, family, teachers and of course, God. I'm still thinking about it, pero anyway, lagay n lng ako link pag meron na... hehehe....

But anyway, that's over with. Kwento na ako. hehe... kc, si sophia may pinahiram cya sa aking book. ay wait. stop. gusto kong i-practice english ko. ok!

Sophia lent me this book called "Both Sides of Time" by Caroline Cooney. Actually at first I didn't know it was by Caroline Cooney because there was a sticker on the front cover that covered the author's name. So when I opened the book, there on the back of the front cover was an ad for a book called "The Voice on the Radio" also by Caroline Cooney. You might think I'm just wasting your time or whatever, but honestly, this ad had an enormous impact on me. Why? Because "The Voice on the Radio" is a companion book to "The Face on the Milk Carton", my most favorite book of all time. Probably even more than "Avalon High"! Gasp. Haha, not really. They're tied probably. Anyway, "The Face on the Milk Carton" is a really really cool book that Abi lent me when we were in Grade 6. It was awesome! HAHA!

Fine, have to go. Bye! Tell me what you think in my tagboard! :D

What I Do In My Spare Time (aka waste my time blogging about nonsense stuff and absurdly long titles that don't make sense anyway)

what does a girl do when she tells her mom that she's gonna go online BECAUSE she has assignments to do? what else? chat, blog, surf, friendster, check mail, and so on and so forth.

but anyway! since my mom has long since grown tired of calling my name (Oh you know, "Charmaine! Kih tsang hiak oh! Kih khun loh lah! Kih tsia oh!") i will make use of all the time i have available (which means from about 6:30 pm to 12:30 am... yeah... loads of time) in doing fruitful stuff... like, i dunno, chatting, blogging, surfing, friendsting (thank you katherine grace for the word.), checking mail, and so on and so forth.

word of the day, week, month, year, whatever ko pala: whatever. pero di masyado. as i said kanina sa rbx, i'm not the type to get a word stuck in my head or anything.

oh yeah, rbx! man, i miss that place! of course, i miss the part where my hair goes all MSG scented because of the above mentioned restaurant (resto nga ba? sure nmn ako di un fastfood kasi hndi FAST) kanina kc i went there with kathy (my rbx buddy! haha) and dianne k at nakipagkwentuhan (at kumain. duh. may c2 apple pa nga! :D) super saya tlga magkwentuhan. hahahahaha... "Men are social creatures." like hello??? dapat "WOMEN are social creatures. MEN are sports, food and technology slaves." Oh yeah! (right... wlang papatay sa akin ha!)

nag art ako today. tska nag CAT ung mga tao dun sa other room. CAT!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! naks kinakabahan na ako. why? number 1, i've never been good at physical stuff although i can keep a pretty good pokerface when needed (but sometimes my imagination betrays me. urgh.) number 2... um... well, cnu ba tcher? self explanatory naman db? (no offense. medyo intimidating lng kc cya. ahem) number 3! (oy, 3 na reason ko!) magHUHUBAD daw si sir! as in hello??????? ack! kinikilabutan na ako... ugh.

Charmaine does it again! Whatever time you see above this post, it's not true. It's now 9:14 pm. which means I left this unfinished blog entry lying around on my computer from 7 something to 9 something. wonderful huh? haha.

So anyway, nainspire ako kanina sa discussion ni mrs adapon ah... hahhahha... not in whatever way you're thinking of. nainspire lang ako gumawa ng story. and since i only get inspired once in a while, gusto ko nang seryosohin itong new inspiration ko! yes! ok, cge, alis na ako. haha. babay! mwah!

I am so bored.

i'm just bored, to be honest. i mean, really bored. there's only so much email to be read, and come on, friendster is boring. you can't just add everyone as your friend. who knows? one of them might turn out a mad axe murderer or something. anyway, i decided to blog, so here I am. typing with one hand, because I'm eating cheese bread with the other. actually ubos na cheese bread ko, kanina pa, nung nasa "something" ako. hehe... but really, I'm bored.

So anyway! Mukha ba akong teddy bear? totoo? kc sa ajss, lhat kmi may award, tpos nakuha ko teddy bear award. hahah.... nkakatuwa nga eh... heh :P

today pala, narinig ko at last ung boses ni Daniel William Yu! Hahha... ang galing galing nya tlga sobra kumanta, nakaka-in love! pero di ko cya crush noh, boses lng nmn nya ung gusto ko kc di ko makita ung face nya kanina. yeah, knina. kc, may "walkathon" daw, eh super walang kwenta kc tumayo lng kmi sa savory chicken sa may escolta for like, one hour, tapos umulan! pero khit na umuulan, naglakad pa rin kmi! cge, lakad... tapos lumakas ung ulan! as in super!!! kaya naghintay kmi sa may jollibee sa quintin paredes (kung saan ako nag birthday party nung 6 years old ako at nagkaLBM ang lahat ng guests) ng matagal... so ayan na, nababasa na kami. tapos humina na ung ulan kaya cge lakad pa, hanggang lorenzo ruiz plaza kung saan may nagsasalita (speech daw). tapos national anthem... bayang magiliw... tpos na rin un! tapos sunod national anthem ng china.... blahblah.... tapos na rin! so at last, mag eexchange na kmi ng food. kc dun pa lng sa savory habang naghihintay, bngyan kmi ng plastic bag with bottled water at siopao pero bawal daw kainin kc nga gagamitin nmin un pang exchange. ang cute nga ng idea. may flag pa pala kmi.... so yun. nag exchange. nakakakuha kmi ng philippine flag tska biko at tubig. tapos pinaupo kmi. kaso puno na ung place. basa pa nga ung mga chair kc nga umulan db... so ayan naghanap kmi ng chair, pero wla na eh. buti n lng may mga gentleman (taga SSHS!!! nakakagulat. kala ko nawala na lahat ng gentleman sa school) na nagpaupo sa amin. so yan umupo kmi. tapos nakinig kmi ng speech tapos may choir from chiang kai na kumanta.... di nmn gaano kaganda.... (no offense sa mga nagbabasa) kala ko nga nakita ko si tonibelle dun, pero di nmn pala cya. tapos ng choir lumabas si daniel william yu! kumanta cya! The promise ata un, di ko na maalala. basta un, kumanta cya, kinilig lhat ng babae. (haha joke) then tapos na!!! pumunta kmi sa bahay ni kathy at sumabay papuntang school kung saan nagtambay muna kmi sa csa room kasama si kathy at si abi at nagdaldalan lng kmi habang naggugupit ng lettering para sa csa exhibit na dapat ay gnagawa ni abi, kaso di cya gumagawa. anyway, nag chorale kmi mga 10:30, kumanta... tapos uuwi na dapat. kaso tinatamad pa ako kaya tinext ko mama ko kung pwde kmi maglunch ni abi sa labas, pero ayaw ni mama, kaya umuwi n lng kmi. umuwi ako kasabay si denice at nagkwentuhan lng... the end! grabe haba ng kwento ko noh. actually para lang tlga akong nagkwento kc obviously di cya formal. taglish to the max. puro "tapos". bilangin mo na lang kung ilang "tapos" pag gusto mo. hehehe... cge, hanggang dito n lng... tinatamad na rin ako tska wla na rin akong makwento.

oo nga pala. fil chi friendship day ngaun. un ung dahilan kung bakit nag "walkathon" kami.

5. Matrices, courtesy of Ma'm Queena... galing nya super! anyway, matrices "make you feel like a computer". so true. I almost failed the test! C+ ata ako d2!!! T_T... Actually AJSS is the second time I took up matrices... the first time was just as horrible...
6. Linear Programming... this is just awesome! It's a great technique, but then again, it's math, so however awesome it is, it's just full of technical stuff that again, "makes you feel like a computer".
   
7. Combinatorics... I did better in this than in the others. Um... dapat lang. I have been taking up combinatorics in MTG ever since.... forever! Hahaha....
