To Future AJSS People! Yeah!

Make me proud...! (Hahaha)

Here's a little thing I did last year during AJSS... might help. It's an essay for our English class. I got a B ata... :D

I have a few stuff din here on my blog about AJSS... Kaso lang it seems na nung time na un di pa ako madaldal mag blog. so, well, sana makatulong.

ito oh. especially ung nos. 4-13 dyan.

ANYWAY, found a nice quote! By myself. sorry. haha. it was in a previous blog post.

"WOMEN are social creatures. MEN are sports, food and technology slaves."

:D

So. I was like checking out my blog, and guess what? I realized na wala pa pala akong nakkwento tungkol sa FEU Essay thingy and Sipnayan!!!

Well then, here goes!

*Kwento mode*

So, yun. FEU. Medyo late na kmi umalis from the school kc sabi daw may hinihintay kaming kasabay. PERO di na sumipot yung kasabay kaya mga 8 am na kami umalis, eh 8 am naman yung start ng program. Tuloy pag dating namin sa FEU mga 8 something na. But anyway, we (actually, Mrs. Bueno. Si Danica at ako ay wlang gnawa kundi mag tawanan. At magbasa pala ng garfield. BUT anyway.) asked around for directions pero ang weird weird ng mga tao sa FEU di nila alam. Pero buti na lang may nakakita sa amin na organizer ata ng contest who then led us to the venue, which was a small room na medyo maliit (a bit smaller than music room/chorale room) but still it was a nice place, rather clean and neat kahit na medyo malamig. So. Um. Ahh... uhhhhhhh...

(lost my train of thought...)

oh yeah!!! nakita ko sina tonibelle at mavie and nagkwentuhan, kamustahan and well, masaya. 3 lang kmi AJSSers. So un, nung nagstart, ok ok pa ako. Topic: Do reality shows make good television? So there, I wrote. TONS of stuff. As in 2 pcs of paper scratch ko. But I managed to finish it, but with an uber lousy title: Skyrocketing to Stardom, which doesnt even make any sense, but anyway I was pretty confident because I actually wrote okay, for an essay. So after writing, may tour daw pero naglunch muna kami, at mga 10:30 am!!! anyway, lunch lunch lunch.... Then, Danica and I walked around FEU (dami tumitingin sa amin... the purple school daw kc... hehehe) parang tour then may nakita kami parang seed/brain/fruit thingies (na matigas, not slimy or anything. yuck. galing sa puno eh...) on the ground then whoosh! we were treating it as a soccer ball. hehe. wheeeee.... si danica galing sumipa...

so, yan, bumalik kami, then announcement of winners... BUT FIRST each of the contestants have to go up on the platform (coz it wasnt much of a stage) and say something about the experience yada yada... so yan salita salita, I was last kc nga late kami, pero di ko na lalagay d2 kung ano sinabi ko kc super LAME. So, announce winners. Talo ako. Aw.... but it's ok. First time ko nman, no reason for me to give up!!! *sparkling eyes* St. Jude nanalo. Um. yeah.

Tapos na essay! for like, 2 hours we did nothing. actually we just sat around outside the auditorium waiting for extempo to start. nagregister si danica, but first! gusto namin magCR (actually ako lang. nahawa kay eninaj. hehe.) then magCCR kami PERO nakalock! nkita kmi ni mang Jani (tor) then pinapasok kami sa backstage ng audi! Naks adventure. haha. anyway, may nakita kami african american person super tall like THIS as in taller than zach pa nga. babae!!! whoo. then wala lang. experience.

So start na contest. Danica was taken away by the aliens, este, the organizers. me and mrs. bueno enter the auditoriumie. (ala katherine grace :D) then then then...!!!! ayaw kami papasukin!!! WHAT? EVIL!!! KASI DAW may pagkain ako, sandwich. and water. so what did I do? I drank my whole bottle of water and kept my sandwich in my pocket!!! then pinapasok na ako hehe... di naman ako baliw na isusubo ko ung sandwich ng buo noh. hahahahah.

so!!!!!!!!!! tantatanantanan!!! The contest is starting!!! in like, 45 mins. Seriously super tagal. dapat tawaging UH ang FEU as in university of hintay. (haha, corny joke) but anyway start na! Danica was still abducted, este, backstage. The topic was...... Should freedom of speech be compromised for peace? or something like that... yeah speech speech boring boring, then may isang nagspeech na parang naks ok to ah, but then medyo ahem, basta. (lalaki po cya) then pag baba nya sa stage kita ko kasama nya... whoops, chiang kai pala. ehehehehe... well, magaling naman eh. then blah blah boring boring boring... then DANICA! whooo! PERO bwisit, biglang may tumawag sa cellphone ni Mrs Bueno!!! Si Atinon. Like HELLO? Grabe ang timing!!!!!!! Buti na lang ok lang si danica, not disturbed (well nasa stage naman and i dont think narinig nya na malakas boses ni mrs bueno but still!! the concentration!!! like poof! it became coco crunch! corny joke #200... BASTA!) pero mga 1 minute lang cya nagspeech. i thought it was ok naman, kc hello? DANICA!!! Ang galing galing nya... pero i think malaki yung demerit dahil sa short speech.... then pag balik ni danica sa seats, lumabas kami at naglakad lakad. kinain ko na ang refugee sandwich ko... hehehe...

then pagbalik namin sa audi natulog muna ako then sabi ni mam bueno uwi na daw kmi. so home we go.

The end.

Wla na nangyari eh.


PART 2! Sipnayan!!!

Pixx! (Courtesy of Krizia... kc yung isang photographer ko di marunong gumamit ng cellphone... joke!!! Ty Krizia at Candice! :p)

Picture of the Year daw... Hahahahaha...

Me and Candice... awww... ang abnormal ng mukha ko... hahaha

Come see the totem pole! :)) Sa KFC...

Ang cute naman nila... Awww... :)

So um yan. Next time na yung kwento kasi.... sinisigawan na ako ni Cheryl the big purple dinosaur!!!!

Sick. Wah.

Man. Great way to start a week! Possibly with that deadly disease known as dengue. Hopefully not, but anyway, I'm stuck in my room all day feeling horrible and stinky and disgusting. In my 39 jacket, in fact. UGH!

Still! I'm pretty hyper anyway so I guess that's a good sign, huh?

Be back soon... I hope.

More about the Seniors' Camp in another post. Just not now.

Nerd Quotes and Other Qualms

"With love and matrices, one needs patience."
"I used to be a scalar quantity until you gave me direction."
"My love for you is like pi. It's a constant that never ends."
Maghahanap pa ako.... hehe. By the way, hndi ako nag-imbento nyan. Kinopya ko lng sa mga other AJSS-ers. :)

Anyway, wala lng. Blogging is fun, actually. You should try it sometime.

Seeing: The computer screen and my fingers pressing away on the keyboard.
Hearing: Ragnarok sound effects. Ahh, the soundtrack of my life.
Smelling: Nothing? My shampoo. Haha.
Tasting: Nothing. Sadly.
Feeling: The coldness of the wet towel on my lap. And cramps. Ouch, cramps. FYI, these cramps are of the feminine sort. Owwww....

See? Blogging while suffering? That's weird old me. Ouch ouch ouch.

Sometimes, I wish I were male.

Most times, I DON'T.

I happen to enjoy my double X chromosomes, thank you very much. Although they happen cause monthly cramps. Which reminds me that I am currently experiencing said cramps. Oww.

My cramps have faded, thank goodness.

So, tomorrow is my first day of CAT. Ahh!

Wala na akong masabi. Sorry.

Stuff.

Wla lng. I just read a friend's blog. Un lang. Inspired I guess. Tska in english, plan naming mag report using video. Kaso lang mahirap. But who cares! If there's a will, there's a way.

I admit, medyo nagdadalawang isip ako about the whole video thing, but since I am this stubborn girl who refuses to listen to others, I'm going through with it. May ka group ako, but they're okay with it, so why not? I think it's a pretty cool idea, even if it's hard and all.

Fine. I'll be honest. Naadik ako sa pagvivideo, lalo na nung interview thing. Gusto ko nang magvideo!!! Haha.

Anyway, meron nang Ateneo forms. Whee, Ateneo! Sana makapasa ako sa course ko. This Saturday tanong ko sana kung anong courses ung napasa ko nung ACET para sa AJSS, para madecide ko na kung anong course kukunin ko. This is my future!!!!

Sige hanggang d2 n lng. thanks!

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.

Things I learned this summer:

1. How to separate DNA from a banana... sa Mapua to... really cool stuff. imagine seeing the white fluffy thingy coming out of the liquid banana mixture... tapos u get to see it under a microscope! haha... may picture sana...
2. Sudoku... sa in house nmn ito! Thanks to Bless, my neighbor na di ko kilala until nag in house kmi. hehe. nasa taas lng cya pero di ko cya nakikita! :P ang galing nga nya mag sudoku eh... kming tatlo ni danette nag aanswer. nakakamiss na tlga.
3. Masaya mag ingay sa mcdo. lalo na nung bday ni dianne krupasa. :) it was loads of fun! :D
   
4. How to commute to ateneo every single day. nakakatamad. but it was all for a good cause.
   
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....
8. Nakaka-adik ang C2. Honestly. Sobrang tamis ng C2 lemon. C2 green tea nmn wlang lasa. masarap ang c2 apple at c2 peach. di ko pa natry ung c2 iced tea lemon whatever. ano ba pagkakaiba nun sa c2 lemon? hmmm....
9. sabi daw ung pasta sa ateneo parehas lng araw araw, iniiba lng ung sauce at toppings. i forgot who said that. haha. nabasa ko lng sa blog ng isang tao. :)
10. kahit na di ako naiyak nung aj graduation, namiss ko pa rin ung buong experience, tska ung mga lessons, and especially the people who were a part of it. thanks so much for it all.
11. advantage pala ung mga advanced classes na kinukuha ko every summer with mr roque. medyo parehas cya dun sa english namin sa ajss. :)
12. magandang libro ang catcher in the rye. marami lang ngang bad words.
13. super ok ang psychology. pero hndi cya ok kapag tinatamad akong mag aral ng notes na binibigay na halos xerox copy ng buong book na 400+ pages long. but still!!! i love psych. love love love. all of us should try it sometime. it was sooooooooooo cool!!! haha. why? kasi, its so easy to relate to. parang, lahat ng sinasabi ng teacher, i understand totally kasi i have encountered a case like it at least once in my life! gusto ko nang mag psych! hahahahahahahahahahaha. kaya beware pag kausap mo ko. i will psycho analyze you! haha. jke lng, i'm not that good. :P
14. i wasted the last few days of my summer playing sims 2 on the xbox. masaya pero walang kwenta. haha. whatever.

that is all!!! tomorrow i have to go to school for the teachers assembly. i dont plan to listen anyway. i plan to chat chat chat with my friends. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................................. :P

Things...

I do realize that I had a post with the same title on my Friendster blog... hehehe... but thing is, a couple of things have happened during the past few days...

1. Today was our AJSS graduation. As much as I want to celebrate that I no longer have to go to school every single day during my summer vacation, I have yet to wait for the fact, that I will no longer be seeing my new friends, sink in. I'm like that. Will I cry? I will still have to find out. It feels terrible though, especially as I rode the tricycle home, knowing it would be the last time (except if I do go to Ateneo in college, where hopefully, I will meet all the AJSS-ers again). As I was in the LRT with my mom and my sister, reading all the notes in my envelope, I realize that it would be a long long time again before I get to commute back and forth to Ateneo everyday. As I type now, the fact has almost sunk in halfway. I read all your notes, and I feel sorry that I didn't get to know each and every one of you personally. I hate myself for that. (To quote Toni: I hate me! :P) In two weeks, I will be going back to SSHS. And I have a new goal. I want to be as close as I can be to every single one of my classmates. I no longer want to be that shy lonely girl sitting in a corner, all alone. But how do I do this? I don't know yet, but I will try, although that would be quite hard, considering the fact that I think I am naturally shy.... "I think".
2. What else happened.... oh yeah! Janine is back from Isabella! :) I wanna see her so badly. No, scratch that. I want to see all of my classmates so badly!!!! wahhh... :( No worries, only two weeks left... man, I so feel like crying due to abovementioned (in no. 1) reason. I feel horrible. Ugh. I guess it's true though. I'm letting my emotions out by writing. I hate my blog. It's so horribly depressing. MAN...
3. My computer broke down days ago, but thankfully it has been fixed! Yay! I can blog! :)

Well... I have nothing to say anymore. Thanks for reading and all. :)

Me, Myself and I

Today was our Sportsfest at AJSS. It was fun, I guess. But as you know, I'm not exactly athletic so I had a hard time and all. We played dodgeball first where instead of having me catch the ball so I can throw it at someone, I dodge it. Yeah. It's dodgeball for dummies. We were fourth out of four teams, but it was okay, I guess. I got hit on the head once, too, but I'm okay. I'm hard-headed. The guy who hit me (Sir Rob!) even apologized and all afterwards. It was no big deal, I mean, it's a game, but he was real nice about it and everything.

After dodgeball we played handball. Actually, they played handball. I sat around and watched. Handball is somewhat like basketball except that you can't move once you are holding the ball, and you play on something like a soccer field, with the two nets on either side. We won third this time.

Overall, I enjoyed although I didn't do quite well. Next week though, we have volleyball and basketball. I still suck at them but oh well.

Anyway, here's a comic:

The comic is by Bill Amend. (Just a disclaimer so I don't get sued or anything.) I just like it but I hope you will too. I love Foxtrot. It, like, embodies me and my life. If you want to read more comics online, go here.

Lame, lame, lame... sigh...

Hello again! I'm not really supposed to be blogging right now as it's 11:21 in the middle of the night, but anyway, it's okay. I'm actually supposed to be revising a short paper but whatever.

I need essay writing classes. I'm horrible at essays. Honestly. I can't even bring myself to write something properly decent. It's a bloody process, I tell you. Geez.

But enough with that. I already finished "Catcher in the Rye". It was weird. Very weird. And disturbing because of all the swearing and reference to adult stuff. But I guess, I still need time to process the story. It was nice, in a way. I don't know. Just read it if you like. I liked it a little because our Philo teacher sort of explained it. I'll explain it here once I understand it. I hope.

I have to write a poem too. A stanza, actually. It's sort of a son to mother thing, and the image our group is going to use is a potter. Yeah, generic, but hey, who's complaining? Well, anyway, here goes. (I'm actually typing this as I think of them right now.)

Rough calloused hands on my once fragile frame
Perfected each and every curve, molding me,
And I have you to thank, my dear mother,
For looking beyond what you see.

Kind of rushed, but anyway, that's fine. Who cares. Haha. I'm just not inspired, you know? Sure there are cute guys in AJSS, but none that actually creates a spark, so ho-hum, life is boring without a crush around. I guess I should be satisfied with a guy who's my type and all, but he gets... boring. Am I mean or what? Ah. Whatever. :D

And on my tagboard, I wasn't the one who wrote the "Hello fans" thing. It was my sister. But I didn't remove it coz I thought it was cute... hmmm.... basta!

Thanks to you guys too, for reading my blog. I think my blog is getting boring, not like my Friendster one, but I'm turning boring without my friends in school. Really! I'm not my hyper little self anymore. I was a bit depressed actually, but I already found the solution to that. SUGAR! C2, ice cream, you name it.

And guess what? I discovered something. Jollibee's Coffee Jelly is really good! Especially the Jollibee in Masangkay. Mmmmm.... I got it with ice cream (P37, P10 pesos more than the original P27 without ice cream, but it is SO worth it) and I swear, I was in heaven.

Anyway, I'll just end here, because I think I'm ranting too much now. Till next time! Bye! Tag kayo ha!!!:D

P.S. to my batch/classmates: My sections for next year are Red and It. Ano section nyo? hehe :P

Second post

Ummm, yeah. Out of the lack of finding a better title, I grandly proclaim my second post's title to be... "Second post". How creative.

I don't know what to say really. Actually, there are so many things that I want to say, that I've forgotten what they are. Great...

But anyway, I'll just start with my experiences at AJSS. I'm actually starting to have fun, and you know, make new friends and all. I'm still my old self though, shy and unwilling to talk to others (i.e. make the first move). It depends actually, if the person is somewhat like me and doesn't have any "kasama" then I'd befriend her. But thing is, I'm just really shy around people I'm not close to. Honestly. I mean, I even become un-sarcastic! I really missed that part of me, you know. But I think I'm getting sarcastic again... I hope. :D

I'm reading this book called "Catcher in the Rye", which I guess is pretty interesting and everything, but is so... bad.... I don't know! It's got loads of offensive words and stuff about being horny and all that. Ugh. It would have been a good book, really. I would have stopped reading it weeks ago, but I need to read it for my Philo class, so well, there.

Right now, as I'm typing this, I'm also answering this survey (well, you couldn't exactly call it a survey... more like an "interview" of sorts) for the AJSS souvenir book. And the questions are just... I don't know, weird. Awkward. Not the sort I'd like to answer. But I have to answer everything, so I guess I have to. Hmm...

Here's the list:

1. Who are you in five words?
2. If you were to get stuck in an island with another AJSS participant, who would it be?
3. What class did you enjoy most during AJSS?
4. What class made you sleepy?
5. What's your fave spot in campus?
6. The worst lesson ever?
7. What's your most embarrassing moment here?
8. What did you find out about yourself after AJSS?
9. After this summer experience, what course do you think suits you best?
10. Which do you think is better: high school or college?
11. What's a new school subject you'd love to introduce?
12. What's your message to your teachers, classmates and coordinators for this 39th AJSS?

I'm still trying to answer them, actually. I'll answer them later. :D

So, till here. Bye guys, thanks for even bothering to read my blog! :p
