blogging AGAIN

it's 11 pm, and everybody in this house except me is asleep. and to think that were it last year everybody (Except maybe my grandma and our maid) would be wide awake and doing either one of the following:

1. watching tv
2. taking a shower
3. using the computer
4. checking test papers/compositions/you name it
5. and so on and so forth...

ANYWAY the point is, I'm actually not the least bit sleepy. okay, i lie, i AM sleepy but i can't sleep because i've got that PHYSICS PAPER to do.

ugh. *insert nasty adjective here* physics paper. urrrgh.

and well yeah, technically i'm wasting the time supposedly alloted for the physics paper by blogging, so yeah. um. i'm just weird like that, thank you very much.

i have a sudden craving for TAKOYAKI. you know, those little mushy flour balls with bits of squid in them? blame television. i saw this japanese show the other day and they were making takoyaki balls that actually looked nice and appetizing (unlike those in the st stephen's food court which taste like mush) and i wanted soooooooome... :(

Yay! New post!

See? Sabi ko lang expect, para di kayo madisappoint, but here I am again with another post! Yay!

Anyway, I'm here to blog about my new comfort food other than shakes. It is none other than Karioka, which you guys can buy in the Ateneo caf, sa AMPC stall, where you guys can also buy shake! yay! >:D<

It's sort of like buchi-cue without the mongo... (by -cue i mean, like banana-cue....)

yay!!! eat eat eat! I'm sooo hyper, see???

Okay. I'll stop. I'm freaking you out, I'm sure. Heck, I'm freaking ME out.

vignettes from my atenean life

(currently employing the style of such bloggers as Mondie, and someone else i can't remember)

I am NOT on drugs.
Next Wednesday is the AMC, that glorious contest in which I have a better chance of winning than say, MTG or MTAP. Don't ask me why. Maybe I'm destined for greatness in Australia... But anyway, you're probably wondering about the subtitle... well, thing is, next Wednesday, at the exact same time as the AMC, I have Physics lab. And also, next Wednesday, I have no other classes other than Physics lab (free cuts). So, I mean, isn't it perfectly good logic to request a free cut? So that people (not just me) in my class can get a day off without having to come to school early in the morning for 2 hours and just go back home? And besides, according to someone i can't remember (another someone this time) (I think it's Mr Maquiling, our brillant physics lecture teacher whose house was ransacked when he was away on vacation in Tanzania, and when Section K (my section in physics lecture) was suffering under the hand of the female sub we had (by the way, sabi ni mr physics lab teacher, "sexy" daw si evil female sub. see how un-teacher and role model-like he is?) it's perfectly reasonable for a free cut in lab, because there are too many sessions anyway... so at first I asked the brilliant physics lab teacher if we get a zero in the lab activity if we cut (he said yes... sob...) then later on, after a while, dahil di na ako mapakali, i asked for a free cut. do you know what he said in return???? "are you on drugs?"

Ok, first of all, even if i have outrageously large eyebags (which is most probably the reason i'm called a panda) i do not, i repeat, DO NOT take drugs. i mean, hello? where will i get them? (i dont think this is helping) ANYWAY the point is, teachers don't ask their students if they do drugs, i mean come on. i dont even know what drugs look like, and besides even if i did take drugs, hello? where would my common sense be if i told him, "why, yes, i do take drugs, thank you very much"??

because of that, i won't be able to join the AMC and all my hopes of getting a super high score so that the Australian Trust whatever will invite me to migrate to Australia (hey, i can dream, can't I?) will be shattered... and once again, NO I AM NOT ON DRUGS AND NEVER WILL BE. thank you.

well. that's all for that rant. next part...


The best block ever!
I know you all think (at least you college people) that your block is the best. Well, so do I. Why? Let me count the ways...

First of all, nobody in my block smokes. (at least, i think) in short, they're all pretty decent people, even if they have the tendency to become nerdy (unlike me, who has yet to be converted even after 2 months in college). they are all very nice and friendly... okay, this is so general... here's a specific example, so you guys can understand me better.

last week was one of my blockmates' birthday and he was really planning to do a get together thing in matteo ricci. some of my other blockmates were planning to go to katipunan for lunch since those lucky ducks get a free cut in their english and lit classes which is after lunch. so anyway, they still came to matteo ricci, even if they just popped up without staying long, but the thing is, i think they're pretty nice to have actually made time for one of our blockmates.

so there. i know it's kind of pointless. doesnt prove a thing. but well, it proved something to me. that i have the best block in the world. :D

Coo's busters!
If you have forgotten, Ms Coo is my history teacher who taught us all about that castration thing i posted the other day... she is cool and all that... sabi nya SASSY GIRL daw cya.... hehe, anyway, the thing is she might not be teaching next sem. so sad... you guys (at least those who are in Ateneo or those who are planning to be) wont get to become her student and for once have a fun history class.. well. that's okay, maybe when she comes back after some time, it's not too late! :D

BTW if you're wondering about the title, that's the name of my group, made up by one of my group mates... i have nice groupmates too, even if they're sophomores. I mean, I always thought sophomores were scary. You know, bullying and stuff Well, they aren't. Hahaha.

Celadon: Mid-autumn Gratia (and a bit of other stuff...)
The GA (General assembly. expect this abbreviation to appear a lot) was yesterday, and I (and Isen, too) joined the Food and Drink committee, headed by none other than Kimmy's brother Carl Chua. So I guess, technically he's my cousin, but he doesn't know that. hehe... :D

Anyway, this is actually more about Carl because I find him funny not because he jokes or anything but despite the obvious difference in physical appearance between him and Kim, they are actually quite the same... as in the first thing about him that resembled Kim is how he suddenly said "This sucks" (to himself, though it was rather loud) which is in fact a very Kim-like statement... if you know Kim, you can actually imagine him saying it.

Another factor was how he handled the meeting... it's almost like watching Kim himself. Very business-like with a bit of awkwarness thrown into it.

Now I feel guilty for observing him like a specimen or something.

It's always nice to meet new people.

By the way, Shari, my MTG and AJSS friend from Makati Hope is also in that committee... yay! So when Isen is not around I can at least talk to Shari... haha!

My favorite topic: food!
Atenean food is the best. It's true what Sir Tom says, baka tumaba ako sa kakakain... hay... nababankrupt na nga ako... and besides, my goal in ateneo is to try everything they offer here (food i mean)! (kala mo kung ano goal ko noh?) Eating, for me, is a tortuous art... here's a list of the food I have tried and liked so far...

Caf Down

1. Hungarian Sausage Sandwich - House of Waffles - P35
2. Shakes (any flavor, whether banana, mango, melon or avocado, which are the ones i have tried. di pa lahat yan.)- AMPC - P20 (small); P25 (large)
3. Iced Coffee/Milo - that stall in the corner near the school supplies - (Coffee) P25 (small), P30 (large); (Milo) P20 (small); P25 (large)
4. Juzijuiz (basta kung ano anong juice) - P15 (large) (walang small) (BTW pag sinabing large, it's about the size of a small gulaman at eat fresh)
5. Hotdog Sandwich/basically any other sandwich - AMPC - P28 for the hotdog sandwich
6. Pizza - El Bonitos - P25
7. Pasta (Pesto and Italian Meat Sauce pa lang nattry ko) - Healthy Kitchen - P50
8. Turon - AMPC - P12 (with langka bits!)
   
9. Maruya - AMPC - P12 ata (basically parang pancake na may banana)
10. Mint Iced Tea - Healthy Kitchen - P16 (lasang candy, but it's good and really refreshing)
11. Mothball Tang - that stall in the corner near the school supplies, and also BENTO - P10 (wala na tlgang mothball yan)

THERE ARE SO MUCH MORE!!!! (But I can't remember all)

Word of the Day

Find the Word of the Day in this blog entry!

AND THAT IS THE END OF MY EXTREMELY LONG POST. ONE WEEK'S WORTH NA YAN!

ENJOY!~

Garbage. Sorry ha.

Soooooo.... here I am again. Um, about that last post, it wasn't as long as I promised, I know..... but this one will be longer than EVER! HAHAHAHHA!

Anyway, marami na akong ticket pra sa mini fair!

• 1 mashed potato (P15)
• 1 frappe (P20)
• 1 Cool Cubiez... gulaman yan. (P10)
• 1 hotdog with bun (P25)
• 1 treasure hunt (P30) --> napilitan lang ako!!!
• 2 fishball/kikiam/whatever... basta ung sa faculty (2 x P10 = P20)
• 2 ride tickets (2 x P25 = P50)
  

With a grand total of.... wait, calculator muna... P170!!!! BUT nag donate ako ng P100 for Andrew Perez... (please pray for him!) so... um P270 na. bumili ako ng g-tech (my beloved g tech!!!!) so, P333 na! (lucky number?) and then... nanlibre ako sa shobe ko ng isang frappe tska isang hotdog... so.... uhhh... P378... then ano pa ba.... ah! binayaran ko utang ko plus kumain pa ako... so that's like... P538. um, what the... ang gastos ko naman!!! my gosh!!!!!!!!

huhuhu. ubus na ang pao ko. sniff.

BUT THEN you probably don't care so forget I said all of that.

The long test(S) killed me. The one typing all of this is the ghost of Charmaine Past. ehehe. corny, sorry. Speaking of ka-corny-han, may ikkwento ako!!! Hihihih.

Once upon a time, there was a Chinese person selling peanuts. Then a Filipino passed by wanting to know where he was, so he gestured by pointing his hand downwards (as in, like, pointing to the ground) but the Chinese guy thought he was asking about the peanuts so he said... "Mani lah!" and thus the Filipino thought the town was called "Manila" and the name stuck. haha.

There's another version pala, the Chinese guy was selling stoves. He told the Filipino, "Kalan ba?" and the town was called Calamba! Yay!!!

Hehe, ang cute noh? :P Mommy ko nag imbento nyan. But! May kwento din ako! :D

Bakit may brush ung helmet ng mga Roman soldiers?

Once upon a time, back in Ancient Rome, women were very small, while men were VERY TALL. So wives were problematic and worried about how there were going to clean the ceilings of their houses, which were just high enough to accomodate their husbands' height. So, one woman (being very smart) thought of a brilliant plan! She attached a brush to her husband's helmet so that whenever the husband walked around, he would be cleaning the ceiling at the same time. However, she didnt think of the problems that would arise (and nor did the person... er, ghost writing this) for example, the dust that came from the ceiling would fall on the husband's face... haha, but who cares. this is just fiction, people!

And there you go. That's all the corniness for today. No quote from a YM stat message today! sorry... nobody has any good sarcastic ones. :D

Hello, Friday!

No classes today. Should I be happy? I don't know...

BUT the point is, yesterday was the inauguration where the Stephenian Chorale performed. It was all pretty cool and everything except for the fact that all we did was sit around in the AVR drinking salabat (ginger tea, it was good!) and chatting and doing whatever. And oh yeah, eating ChickenJoy and mashed potatoes. No, I am NOT kidding.

And you know, we also had to get our make up done and I, in all honesty, looked like a clown!!! (I was going to say freak, but then again, I don't know what a freak looks like.) But I guess, my make up wasn't the worst, so to speak. There were others who suffered along with me.

Backtrack please....

Yesterday I had lunch with Ana at Wai Ying and it was totally fun and everything! Then we went to Book one to shop for a gift for Mimi who will be having a Disney Princess party (Mimi is 16.) at Mcdo tomorrow but since I'm not going, then I'll just get her something! So, we went and bought this super cute ***** *****. (I'm sorry, but I'm not spoiling the surprise in case Mimi reads my blog. *winks*) (To be honest, I can't wink if my life depended on it, so virtual winks are all that I can do. Sigh.)

Then afterwards we went to school and went to Agape to play Bibleopoly. Except that neither one of us (me or Ana) knew how to play, so well then, forget it, let's play Monopoly. It was super boring... thankfully, Pastor Ed saved us and arrived and invited us to play a game of Scrabble! So we played Scrabble... and I totally sucked. I mean, i think somebody hates me. For one round I got the following letters: AAAEOOU (or something like that) then I used up U and E (for dUE) then for the next round I got AAAIOOO. I mean, hello???? What are the chances?!?!?

So well. That was my day. I mean, that was my yesterday, I guess. That's all. Cheers!

(Hey! I didn't know Aldrich was an ostrich. Well, extra knowledge doesn't hurt! :D)

my longest post ever?

So. Today was the "Mathirang Mathibay". *coughcornytitlecough*

Anyhow, the contest started off... okay forget it, i'm switching to kwento mode.

So ganyan. Pumunta ako ng school ng *medyo* maaga, kc kylngn ko pa kunin kay mrs mets yung invitation. But first, I talked to Kathy, Ja and Ana. (kathy was sick...:( ) Then, kinuha ko yung invitation, i went to central office to paxerox and also ask for envelopes (ksama si danette) and then wala lang, un na. we went dun sa may guard to wait for the others. turns out sama pala si justin may contest sa amoranto sports complex. anyway, contestants are: Dream Team! Danette Kevin Willard and alternate Al. Nightmare Team! Charmaine Candice Krizia and alternate Aldrich. Pansin ko lang noh, ung mga ALternate na sina AL at ALdrich parang recurring syllables. But!!! back to the topic.

so we went to up diliman and it was so noisy in the car as always kasi ang gulo gulo ni aldrich but anyway the point is we got there eventually (duh) and then pag baba namin we had to go register and everything, kailangan pang mag pa picture for some strange reason (which i do not know, apparently) so anyway ayun nag picture picture. may booth thingy pa nga ung msa dun and then it was kind of freakish kc the person there was constantly talking to me, parang sales talk, although it was not effective kasi ang mahal mahal ng mga stuff nila!!! i mean imagine, ung set of like i dont know, 100? 200? cards (number 18 card game) is about 168 pesos... hello? they're just pieces of paper!!!! with stuff printed on them, yeah but they're still paper!!!

Also, kailangan naming mamigay ng invite para sa lotm since mga 23 teams pa lang sumali kasi mahirap daw ung contest, walang chance manalo, etc etc. we even tried convincing sir tom to talk to the teacher na taga jubilee pero di ko alam kung tinuloy nya. i gave invites to rizal hs, and a few other schools i dont know. kinausap din ako ng isang taga ateneo, pwede ba daw ilipat sa dec 9, but then i told him, di ako ang nag dedecide, so sorry n lng. kung pwde lang next year ko na gagawin noh. mga i dont know, january?? but then, gusto ni sir, ok lang daw kung maraming conflict. have i mentioned kung gano ka raming conflict on that day????? 1. cmli contest, 2. eco contest, 3. poster making contest, 4. ust hs math camp, 5. india contest. i mean, parang sinadyang sinama lahat... hayyyy.

So yun, elimination round na. Pumila kami sa labas as in under the scorching sun... we were almost literally melting. Buti na lang medyo mabilis lang kmi sa labas kaya, cge ,fine, pila kami. Pag pasok, mga 6 teams lng nasa class room, kc have i mentioned that yung elimination round is GROUP? as in sabay sabay kaming sumasagot. i guess medyo di lang kmi sanay sa bagong system, maayos naman , so anyway, yun. we went on solving. we got like about 10 to 15 answers out of 25 and most of them were wrong anyway. wala kaming nakuha sa diff kahit isa!!! and i was so close!!! wahh...

oo nga pala, bunch of ajss people there. davin, jo, da, jonathan, (and also annabellee... iseeeeen! hehehe. and kyle pala! best friend ni isen yun.) elaine, joson, edmund, and surprise surprise thompson na taga xavier na di ko ineexpect na nandun. di nmn kmi close. di nga kami nag uusap, it's just unusual. di ko alam na magaling pala sya sa math.... nandun din pala si carlo of ateneo math camp na taga grace and we talked a bit but medyo di ko sya pinansin kc distracted ako sa pagdidistribute ng invitation... sorry carlo!!!! but ANYWAY.

we went to lunch in nismed, also where the auditorium where the final round would take place was. We had a little less than two hours to spare. nismed was kind of far from the math dept (even when mr tom chu said it was "malapit". it was kind of "far" for us kasi cyempre it was noon and blazing hot) but still the time was whiled away talking and chatting and all of that stuff.

We came to "Kenneth's Kitchen" something something (forgot the complete name) and i ordered fried chicken since everyone seemed to have ordered that (except for kevin and al who both ordered lasagna and sir tom who ordered embutido. like two pieces lang nga eh, bue kia dit talaga! but then, i guess, what do you expect for 50 pesos. and might i mention that al tried to charm the waitress person but well it didnt work. parehas lang silang dalawang magkapatid. nyahaha!) and also i ordered a strawberry milkshake which for some reason wasnt categorized as a fruit shake unlike candice's and al's bnana shake. nasabihan tuloy si candice na chonggo. which is, you know, actually, what others call ME but hey, you don't hear me complainin' that inaagaw ni candice name ko!

then anyway, i learned a bunch of gossip about kevin making krizia cry because napikon si krizia kay kevin kasi ayaw ni kevin kumanta sa music. bakit ba? ganyan ba kasama boses mo ,kevin? joke!!! anyway, i also learned that mr tan kicked the table which in turn hit or "kicked" however you put it, sharette of 4-V and so by the law of transitivity, mr tan "kicked" sharette. i mean, what??? really???? and he also once grabbed this second year boy named "kevin" also (kevin gaw daw?) by the collar and like, lifted him up and when i found out i was like what!!! grabe naman!!! but anyway the thing is, all this proves is that math nerds know how to gossip too!!! :p

so also during lunch they were solving math... i mean yeah math nerds, you know how we are, then i chanced upon aldrich's theme paper (scratch lang) in english and read it, and i was actually surprised, because, despite some grammatical errors, it was pretty good! and now i dont have to categorize "why aldrich is in the SV" in the list of the world's biggest mysteries (joke lang po. no offense. but honestly nag filipino section sya pero magaling nmn cya english. why dont he just tell his editor na marunong lang cya sa literary filipino. i mean, hey, i dont deny that i dont know how to write news!)

after lunch we headed to the main lobby of nismed where there was a display of some physics stuff which were pretty cool except that they were there since last year when we went to nismed, up diliman for pisikaalaman. so they were nothing new but then again, all ideas for physics projects are welcome!!! then we went around looking at them (si ervin dy sineryoso tlga ung isa dun, ung parang release the chain tangled around the pipe things on the ground) then there was this real cool one na mag bike ka then then a light bulb will light then, a mini fan, then a tv! i mean, it was way neat!

so we went upstairs waited for like 1 minute and then we were in the auditorium! it WAS where the pisikaalaman was held! so we went to the balcony, grabbed seats and bored ourselves to death. no, actually, inannounce kung cno pumasok sa quarter finals. pasok sila danette. but they were like the 3rd batch pa so we had to wait for the first two batches to finish. buti n lng we didnt stay till like, 7 pm, which we might have stayed until, if danette's group had gotten in the finals.

so, for the rest of the contest, i read the alchemist and finished it even, read archie which danette brought, and ate the sandwich i brought, and also fell asleep. (pinicturan pa ako ni krizia... ack!) then tapos na, i didnt even know what happened during the contest, just did nothing, it was wayyyyyyy boring (no offense) then the 3rd batch was done and we were leaving because di pasok sila danette sa next round.

then we went home! on the way it was super super magulo pero masaya din i guess kasi si al was like acting all homo like which was disturbing, and he was falling all over aldrich (who might i mention wala nang boses since this morning... i mean, pano cya mag eemcee!!! oh right. i havent mentioned that he's the replacement emcee for aaron because of aaron joining cmli... gusto nmn ni aldrich eh.) and then aldrich moved beside me then it was rather crowded on our side then haynako basta! ang init pa naman nun! nahilo tuloy si candice.

si al at kevin bumaba na sa bahay nila, then i went to school pa for some reason ( dapat mag chochorale kaso lang tapos na pala, kinuha ko n lng el fili ko from the locker.) then went right home and enjoyed my day.

BUT di pa tapos ang kwento!!! after dinner at home, there's banana for dessert, then what do i do, i put them in a blender and whoooosh, banana shake! :D see? marunong din ako gumawa noh! ako lang nagenjoy kasi ayaw nila mama and papa and everyone else. fine, ang sarap sarap nga eh!

and here ends charmaine's day. my eyes look like this na @.@ and i have been sleeping at midnight for the past few days, no wonder i look like @.@. so, goodnight, God bless! it's 11:38 pm, and time for me to sleep! thanks!

Comment kayo ha! after such a long long long post :D

I think I'm insane. I need chocolate. I need...

Okay. Compilation of things I need:

1. Food. Anything as long as it's edible.
2. A good cry. You know, it's been months since I last cried, no matter how much I try.
3. A crush. OH, for the love of.... what am I? A lesbo? Wake up heart! Get out and search for some cute guys!!! GO!!!! (Is it obvious that I'm desperate?)
4. The Nanny. As in, yes the show with Fran Drescher. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
5. Meg Cabot.
6. A muse. As in, inspiration. To get writing. What's happening to me????? (Actually Meg Cabot can be my muse anytime. A serious lack of her in my life is getting me down.)
   

My life is sad. Don't expect me to make a decent post in a while.

Dear Stupid Diary

My stupid stupid web browser shut down on me!!!! I have to type everything again!!! Augh!!!
But still, because I do care about you, my beloved readers, I have to write. So, here goes.
This morning, I woke up for the GMATIC which was in Grace Christian HS. GMATIC stands for Grace Mathineers Interschool Competition. Which is not as corny as Lord of the Math which is the corniest in the history of corny titles, followed by MATHirang MATHibay, AGHAMon, PISIKAalaman, and so on and so forth. But anyway, so I went to school where I got into the car that took us to Grace.
In the car we (namely, me, Danette, Candice, Kevin, Aldrich, Willard, and Sir Tom) discussed about a whole list of stuff including of course the best topic in the history of good topics--Chinese Teachers. (Cyempre si Sir di nakipagkwentuhan sa amin tungkol sa chinese teacher)
Once we got to Grace, we were just being crazy, talking with Clarisse (who I just met today) and playing the write-letter-form-word game and laughing our heads off, which was fun, of course. And sayang tlga kc wla yung guy na hinahanap ko... :( Although, nakita ko si Carlo. Tska sila davin and the other mtg people.
BUT ANYWAY, yun, nag elimination, nagtest kmi ng written tapos feel ko parang, hello? may pag asa pa ba ako, tapos i was feeling bad kc kawawa naman mga teammates ko na sila Candice at Aldrich who did their best but THEN dahil sa akin mapupull down scores nila.
After ng test, nag usap kmi then tanong tanong kmi sagot then we had lunch, which was okay. Most of us ordered chicken teriyaki (ahem, terriyake pala) kasi daw mas "safe".
After lunch, we were waiting for the results of the elimination exam kung pasok ba kami sa semi finals, although medyo di na ako nag aasa pa na makakapasok kami although ang dream team na sila Danette, Willard, at Kevin, ineexpect namin na pumasok. And pumasok naman sila, then super gulat namin nang tinawag din kmi kc super di namin ineexpect. So akyat kami, tawa ako ng tawa na parang baliw. Then nung nasa easy round na, 4 points lang kmi kaya medyo depressed kami, pero chinicheeran namin sila danette kc nga sila yung ineexpect tlga manalo. but then pag dating ng average round wla kaming nakuha! But then dahil masayahin kami tawa pa rin kmi ng tawa. SA difficult, at last, may nasagutan kami, TATLO! Yeah! FAvorite ko yung isang problem na sinX*cosX = 60/169. find sinX + cosX. iniisip ko naman, ano pwde panghula... 13? kc no idea tlga kami. then naisip ko, di ba may right triangle na 5, 12, 13?? so yun na nilagay namin, 17/13. and YES tama!!! Whooooooooooo! TAWA NG MALAKAS!
so yun. well, 19 pts. ok na un. pang 8 kami out of 24 teams. sila danette 7th. Buti pa si sir tom... kaysa kay ****... haha.. ahem.
Then we went back to school, sa ATC lang kmi exempted naman kami. Naglaro lang kmi ni aldrich at kevin at danette at candice ng PANTS (Place, Animal, Name, Thing, Score). Ang daya daya ni aldrich kasi sa name, naglalagay sya ng mga kung ano ano tulad ng Bince at Yeye. as if may name na ganun, pero kinonsider naman kc nga names. but anyway, later on pinalitan namin para maging People, Adjective, Nature, Food, Score (PANFS) and so naglaro kmi tatlo ni kevin at aldrich. tapos nagkatuwaan kami tawa ako ng tawa pa rin kc may sinulat si kevin FAIR'S SOUP kung ano man yun. hahahah....
then nung uwian, nakakainis ung mga taong un iniwan ako!!!!! just left me there erasing the board... but anyway paglabas ko nakita ko sila anabelle at janine at pumunta kami canteen bili ako shake, bili janine patty, then punta kami RBX, meet Dianne S. and Mimi, then go RBX then kain sila ako hindi then un na......................................
the end.
LOVE, CHARMAINE :)

Post#35

You know, I should be studying for Economics right now.

But me, being the big lazy person* that I am, I decided to review later* and blog now.

Aren't you pleased, my dear reader, that I'm sacrificing my grades for the sake of giving you something to read?

Well anyway, I'm actually enjoying Social Studies for once in my life. Especially the kinds of advertising... whee! That was fun! :D

Later on, when I'm actually studying*, I'm gonna eat this marshmallow that's thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis** long. The one I'm wielding like a sword now, using it to hit my sister who is bugging me. Hm, my marshmallow/sword is too soft to actually do any damage.

:D

Bye!






* May be a big fat lie.

**Not actual size.

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.

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

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
