Victory
I should start thanking gazillion of my lucky stars because I have done the unthinkable.
Believe it or not. I have passed my number one problem subject, Math17! I am really, really thankful to God because He heard our prayers. Well, I can't really say much since I'm all squirming inside. Hmm.. How can I explain what I'm feeling right now? Well, majority of April would be secretly dancing her victory dance inside but still part of her is still in shock with all taht has happened. Seriously, it just feels good to pass a subject again. And, it feels a lot more fantastic passing Math17. Imagine I could take the IMPORTANT subjects that Math17 is a pre-requisite of. (at ang dami nito ah!)
I'm just ecstatic. I don't even have the words to express what I'm exactly feeling. But, I definitely learned one thing. And that is I need to study more! I could have done better with my other subjects. Well, let's just hope that next semester's performance will be as good(or better) as this semester's.
Bye Math17!
Hello Chem14, IP 121 and Math100!

The Prestige
I decided to watch the movie The Prestige today. If you're wondering what that movie is about, the movie is the one about MAGIC, how magicians perform the tricks and how important secrets are in a magician's life.
There is real magic and there is just magic(commercial magic? ack! terms...). Haha. It is really fascinating to imagine that there is "real magic" in this world. Spoiler Alert! In the movie, real magic was described by the "cloning ability" of Tesla's machine. Real magic was all about events that anyone could never have imagined to be possible(like cloning and stuff). I really, really like how the movie is presented. Even if, it's kind of complicated in the first parts, I still enjoyed it sicne it's really a movie full of twists and turns. When you get to watch the entire film, you'll realize that everything in the movie made sense. I suggest that after watching the movie, watch it again! Hehe. I really feel that you will see how everything is related through a second viewing. it's just so fun to watch because you'll be able to say "Oo nga no!".
I super love the theme. And, I super duper love the actors. All of them look extremely good! Especially, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and, OMG, my super crush, Scarlett Johansson!!! I have really fallen in like with her! She was so hot in the movie!! Haha. In fairness, their acting performances are commendable. I really like Michael Caine. He was amazing for the role of Cutter. I was like, "This old man's good"(pertaining to his character) because it is as if he was always there and he had a gazillion connections and he knew a lot about magic! Hehe. I like him na. Hehe. All in all, the actors were all good and... hot. Well, most of them. :D
Oi, i-add ko lang. Nikola Tesla was kind of featured in the movie. May appearance baga. I really like that guy even if ayon sa History at Science, weirdo at baliw daw siya. Siguro kasi napaka-imaginative lang niya at inspired by his imagination ang karamihan ng kanyang inventions. Saka ang astig ng name niya. If ever magkaroon ako ng anak, papangalanan ko siyang Nikola. Haha. Anyway, I really like his part in the movie. Heck, real magic! Hehe. Astig talaga.
Well, all I can say is watch the movie and be in awe with Magic!

Home
This is somewhat reminiscent of Dear Paul by Barbie Almalbis. Only better. Hehe.
***
I really never knew what happened ever since I saw your face again. It was like memories of the past flood me. I know that we don't have much to say since we didn't have much last year. I know that there wasn't really any confirmation whatsoever about where we stand but I just thought. I just thought. ~Get over it.
The day was ordinary. The scene was extremely happy. There were smiles. There were little passed-on notes. There were greetings and girls squirming. Everything, everyone was there. Again, memories blew upon me like the winds of Milenyo. It was so sickening. It was annoying since I still look for you. ~Get over it.
You cannot say that you didn't love me. Come on, that would be hypocrisy. You sheltered me while everything kept on falling down. You taught me everything I have ever known. You showed me truth. You showed me how beautiful life is if I let it shine. Come on, you taught me a lot of things. You taught me how to love and let go. ~Get over it.
Every corner I turn, I linger for that feeling you bring me. I crave. Everything I see I compare to you. I long for the sunny days and dark nights. I long for afternoons of fudgee bars and chuckie's. I long for those midmorning walks along the corridor. I long to be at your place. I long to be by your side. ~Get over it.
But, you were always there. I pass you everytime I go to school. I have loved the sight of you ever since I was a child. Yes, you are always there but why do I feel a gap between us? Yes, you are always there but we are not together now. And it sucks. We have been together for four years. And, I know that it has only been six months but it feels like years. I can't get over it. I can't get over you.
I miss you, Masci.
***
My trip last Friday to Masci's Foundation was really an emotional rollercoaster ride. I felt a lot of things during that day. I got mixed up with all the drama. And, honestly I miss that little booger. Masci, I mean. I never thought that it would be this dramatic. I was extremely surprised then happy then sad then envious.
Surprise! I never really knew that Masci could look this good. The floors were all made up of shiny and gleaming white tiles! The walls were repainted. It was all blue. The bulletin boards were 'made-up'. It was all colorful and stuff! Hehe. Excuse my horrid descriptions. Anyway, when Danish and I decided to take a tour in OUR campus(It still is!), we saw a lot of different and CLEAN stuff. The infamous Roentgen Room was extremely neat. And, it actually looked like a classroom! Imagine that! I just loved that room but unfortunately it was locked. Sayang! I'd give 100 bucks just to see the 'Kapitan heart Jang Geum' I wrote on that wall! My first actual school violation was made there! And now it's all squiky clean. Hay, panahon nga naman! And, new principal nga naman! I was really happy taht everything was so clean. But, when we got to the quadrangle, it was chaos. There were booths again! After two boring years, nagkaroon ulit! At, nagbalik rin after two years ang... jenjenjenjen ...BASAAN. Masci na muli siya!!!
Can you say fun? With every bit of chaos present everywhere, we decided to go forth into the battlefield. Kung ako lang, mambabato ako ng water balloon! We interviewed an unsuspecting freshman in the Math Department. The scene looked like something out of a mafia movie. We asked him about the school, that day's event and everything. After that, we decided to steal a math book, the one by Leithold. He seemed terrified pero ayos lang naman daw siya sabi niya. After threatening to steal books from the Department and joking with the kid, Danish and I decided to look for our dear teachers. We saw Mam Lucena which was a surprise to us since she still know us after all the Senior Year drama. We went to Mam Quintal and witnessed that she is still working with her students. She seemed exhausted so we didn't bother her anymore. We went out and looked for Mam Diaz but sadly, she already left according to our classmates. I really miss that woman! Who knew that looking for teachers could be this fun? After all the things they did to us. Hehe.
It's all coming back to me now. There was the exhibition of the bands. We decided to watch it. We went to the Bibbo corner. We saw a lot of our old batchmates. We saw old familiar faces. We saw everyone and by that we mean everyone. I saw someone. Wala, tapos na yun. While watching the show, it made me rethink of my days at High School. I was really GC then but I was extremely happy. What can I say? I have a weird sense of happiness. I have fun with fun! I loved everyone and everything about high school. Who knew that the pain was so immense when I returned to the school? I missed it a lot! I missed everyone! While the bands played, I was extremely envious with all the mascians inside masci. I envied the whole idea of their lives revolving around the four buildings of the school.
I don't want to be called an emotional basketcase. I just really miss something very dear to me. It sounded quite emo, doesn't it? Well, I am dramatic and this is drama so get over it. I just wanted to release my thoughts. To be honest, the idea that I am not in High School anymore still brings me to tears.
But that's life. Got to move on. Go UP! ^_^

Today was our finals for PE2 Phil Games. It was all good until disaster struck.
We had 2 players who were missing so we had to make adjustments. Some who were not suppose to be playing on a particular game participated on it. Well, I'm one of them. I really don't feel that our block is ready for the finals. We were all thinking about other stuff like projects and papers for our other subjects. That's why some of us thought that maybe our hearts weren't in it.
I really don't like how they handled the games. The stupid garters for the legged race sucked since they tore apart. They didn't even reset the time or something. I also don't like how the players acted. Naku, fasyown na fasyown pa rin. Parang hindi pabilisan. Yung iba naman, sa sobrang kabilisan, nagkakamali naman. Ewan ko ba, para bang napakagulo. It was hell. There was no support whatsoever shown for the players. There were no encouragement whatsoever. It sucked that we didn't even win a single game. Hay...
Can you hear me saying total disaster?
But, yes, yes, it's fun, at some point. I wasted money going from Manila to Quezon City. I absorbed most of Manila's pollution. Nakaladkad ako sa lupa ng Sunken Garden. At, sa lahat ng iyan, I was not given the chance to "dive in the flour". Yun na nga lang ang pinakaaabangan ko.
Oh yes, it was fun.
Something caught my eye. And, it literally knocked my socks off. Naku, andun siya. In all my high school girl-ness glory, I squirmed at the sight of him. Then I knew that he sat at the stage, wherein people can see what's happening with the players. Eh, since yung game wherein nakaladkad ako sa lupa happened in the part where the whole stage can see it, I was really devastated. Feeling ko tuloy, natawa siya or something kasi for him, I'm just an ordinary mortal who got herself crawling on the ground with mud on her shoes at nagkamali. Holy crap, bawi na lang sa poise. Heheh...
Hay... ang cute niya talaga. Ang galing pa sa Acads. Tsk.
Darating rin ang araw... bukas. ^_^

Minamalas
Put down the books. They wouldn't help you anymore.
...uhhh...
Cramming sucks! Nakakaasar talaga. Mahirap talaga kapag hindi ka handa. Nakakaasar talaga. Yesterday was hell day! Imagine, 3 tests na sunod2. Tatlong bigating tests! At, nagkaroon pa ng aberya. Here's the whole story. We were super studying/cramming in the first period. We didn't even notice our teacher go inside the room. After that period, we went to our next class, in which we will have the first of the three exams. SO, aun. We waited in the classroom. After 30 minutes, wala pa rin si Sir so we went to the Department of Biology. They said that our teacher was absent but the exam will still commence. Sabi namin, nalagas na ang 30 minutes nung test at sayang naman yung time na yun. So, sabi ni Mam, after na lang ng Lab Exam namin. Nag-OK na lang kami kasi well, wala naman kaming magagawa. Pero, pagtalikod sa department, sabi ko, WTF!!?!!?! Hindi pa ako nakakapag-aral sa Lab. Ayun, pero nag-go pa rin kami. Good luck naman sa akin, db?!
Pero, may nangyari pang isa, nagkaroon ako ng pag-asa dito. Nagpasya ang dalawang sections ng Lab na simultaneous na kunin ang dalawang Bio subjects. So, ang mangyayari, habang nag-laLab Exam ang isa, mga-leLec Exam ang isa. Nabuhayan ako ng loob. So, toss coin na. Buruin mo yun., sa amin parin yung Lab. Iiyak na talaga ako nun. Actually, naiyak na talaga ako. Anyway, on with the test!
Hayop ang test sa Lab! Mabangis! hehe.. Seryoso. Tapos nun Lec Exam naman, ayus lang naman siya kaso ang sama naman ng aking pakiramdam. Para akong lalagnatin. Ang pangit kasi talaga ng lab room na iyon(doon kami nag-Lec exam). Kalahati ng katawan mo, naka-subject sa lamig ng aircon tapos yung kalahati naman, naka-subject sa singaw at init nung room. Stupid talaga. Mahilo-hilo ako dun!
At syempre, ang pinakahihintay ng lahat! Ang History Exam! Sobrang ito ang dahilan ng lahat ng pinaggagawang adjustments sa Bio subjects namin. Paano ba naman kasi nais pa namang makapag-aral sa subject na ito.! ANyway, sobrang tense na ako dun sa test na iyon. Pagkakuha nung questionnaire, dali-dali akong nagsasagot ng mga kaya pang sagutan. So, ayon, para akong makina. Pero, syempre, hindi naman 100% efficient ang machines, db?! May mga chances na ni-leave kong blank ang mga questions. Sobrang na-mental block ako!!! Kaya yun, nagsulat ako ng words na "Last Chance" at "Mental Block!!!" sa likod nung bluebook ko. Sobrang nakaka-mental block talaga!
SO, ayun na ang mga nangyari sa aking mga exams. Pagtapos ng mga yun, punta sa Rob at tumambay at nagkwentuhan sa Kenny Rogers. Nagpalamig lang ako ng ulo nun. So, ayun, pag-uwi sa bahay, sobrang nanghihina na ako. At, nagtuloy na ang sakit. Feeling ko, sininat ako nun. So, ito ako ngayon, nag-tytpe kahit marami pang kailangan gawin at may finals pa ako sa pe bukas. Hehe. Kamusta naman yun?!
..Pero, not to worry, matatapos na rin naman ang lahat..
Bye First Sem AY 2006-2007, Hello Second Sem AY 2006-2007...
Bye sa pagiging New Freshman at Hello sa pagiging Old Freshman!..
Hay... the suffering continues..

Nawawala
Gabi. So, inaantok na naman ako. Bat ba ako ganito? Gusto kong matulog.
Anyway, nang mag-online si April sa YM, nakita niya si Ate Angelin tapos nag-pm siya sa kanya. Na-virus daw ako kaya hindi na nakakapagpost dito.
...Teka, virus?
Don't worry, reader. Yes, you. Ako lang ang apektado. Out ka dito unless parehas tayo ng situation. Heheh. Anyway, nadali na raw ako ng virus ng ka-GC-han. Nahuhunghang na ako sa lintek na schedule at sa mga parang kalokohan-sapagkat-napakabigat na requirements. OO, parang gago na ito kasi freshmen ako pero OO, mabigat ang load. Akala ko kalokohan ang lahat hanggang sa binatukan ako ng aking sarili sabay sabi, "Ikaw kaya ang may gusto nito". "Aye, oo nga pala.."
Nakakaloko na talaga ang buhay. Napakadaming nangyayaring kababalaghan at mga bagay na kala mo hindi mangyayari. Por example, nitong darating na friday, 3 straight subjects ay mayroong mga pamatay na exam. Juice ko naman. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero posible palang mangyari ang isang karumal-dumal na pangyayaring kagaya nun. Parang sobra na yun ah. O, ako lang ba nag-iisip nun? Isa pa, nanalo ang UST kanina. Biruin mo yun.
...Teka, ulit, joke lang yun. Pero, honestly, nasaktan ako kasi for Ateneo talaga ako eh. Peace.
So, ayun, nawiwindang na ako. Bat ba ang feeling ko hindi ako handa? Handa na ba talaga ako o nagpapanggap lang? Well, sabihin na nating hindi masyado at kung nagpapanggap lang ako, kailangang panindigan na lang. Seryoso, naloloko na ako. Ayoko ng ganitong feeling.
Kung babalik sa usapan kay Ate Angelin, sabi ko nalulunod na ako. Nalulunod sa skul, that is. Ayun nga, sa dinami ba naman ng pinagdadakdak ko dito, na-realize mo ba na nahihirapan ako? Sana naman. Dagdag ko pa sa pagsasabing nalulunod ako sa skulworks, sabi ko kailangan ko ng superhero. Pasalamatan na ang may awa kasi meron namang nagsasalba sa aking katauhan. Ayun. Salamat talaga kay Bill Gates at sa Internet. Salamat sa alaala ni Gemma Ward kasi kahit hindi ko na siya napapanood sa FTv, nasisisyahan na ako pag naiisip ko siya. Salamat dun sa nagbibigay ng aliw sa skul(Wooo!). Salamat sa blockmates na walang sawang naghahasik ng.. kasiyahan at kaguluhan. Salamat sa gumawa ng Tootsie Roll kasi ancharap nun(Pasingit lang!). Salamat sa genius behind Bread Pan. Quoting Budong in Super Inggo, "Thank You for you suffort".
Nakakaloko ung post. Parang hindi ako. Naantok na ako.
(Pasingit: ...Sori kung d nakakapagpost, sori talaga.)
