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!
