Troy's Despedida

Sa darating na November 8, sina Troy, kasama ang kanyang pamilya, ay aalis at lilipad na patungong Nevada, USA. At dahil dito ay naisipan naming magkaroon ng depedida para sa kanya. Matagal-tagal na rin naming pinaplano to. At nung October 26-27 ay naganap na rin ito. Ginawa na rin namin itong parang outing ng block namin.

Sa Loreland Farm Resort, Antipolo kami nagpunta. Sa kasamaang palad ay walo lang kaming nakapunta: ako, Troy, Alai, Greggue, Karlo, Jelo, Jorge, at JM. Pero kahit konti lang kaming nakapunta, naging masaya pa rin. Nagkita-kita kaming lahat sa UP ng 8 AM. Kaso mga 11 AM na ata kami nakaalis. Haha! Naging adventure pa yung pagpunta namin dun. First time kasi namin pumunta dun. At mejo naligaw kami sa directions na nakuha namin.

Dumating kami sa resort ng mga 1 PM na ata. Inayos muna namin yung mga gamit namin, kumain, nagvideoke saglit, tapos nagswimming na. Ang saya kasi nasolo namin yung isang pool dun. Monday kasi, kaya wala masyadong tao.

Tapos napagtripan din pala namin yung slide dun. Nakakatakot kasi yung pagbaba. Akala mo ordinaryong slide lang. Kaso habang nagsslide ka, pabilis ng pabilis yung momentumon ka na. Haha! Ang ginawa namin ay lahat kami ay umakyat, at sunod-sunod na nagslide. Haha! Nakakatawa lang talaga yung mga itsura namin habang nagsslide at tumitilapon.

Tapos nagbreak muna kami sa paliligo at nag pusoy dos. Sina Jorge, Greggue at Alai naman ay nagvideoke.

Birthday pala ni Eman nun. Kaya habang naglalaro kami, tinawagan siya ni Greggue at nung nakausap na siya, sabay-sabay kaming bumati sa kanya. Haha. Nakakatuwa lang.

Pagkatapos ng ilang rounds ng pusoy dos at kantahan, nagswimming na ulit kami. At pagdating ng mga 5 PM ay umahon na kami at nagayos na ng mga gamit.

Naging adventure din yung paguwi namin. Haha! Buti na lang at tama yung mga nilikuan namin. Bale dumaan muna kami sa Robinson's Metro East para bumili ng alak. Hehe. Kaso sarado pa pala yung supermaket nila dahil sa pinsalang ginawa ng bagyong Ondoy. Kaya sa Ministop na lang, na malapit sa amin, kami bumili.

Pagdating sa bahay namin, andun na pala si Kat. Tapos dumating na rin sina Marvin at Martin. Tapos kumain na muna kami ng dinner. Tapos maya-maya pa ay dumating na rin si Wes. Ayun! Nakumpleto na rin ang mga magoovernight. Haha! Kaso umalis din sina Greggue at JM. Di kasi sila pwede magovernight.

Ayun, masaya yung overnight. May sari-sarili kaming mundo nung umpisa. May mag nanonood, may mga naglalaro, at may mga nagnenet. At pagsapit ng alas dose ay binati namin si Alai ng "Happy Birthday!" Tapos nung mga 1 AM na ay nagsimula na kaming uminom. Nakakatuwa lang kasi lahat kami uminom. As in lahat! Haha. Tapos bago pala uminom ay nagtoast muna kami. Bawat isa ay may sinabi. May mga nakakatuwa, may mga joke time, may mga seryoso, at meron ding mga ka-emo-han. Haha!

Pagdating ng mga 4 AM ay nagsimula nang matulog yung mga tao. Nasa sahig nun sina (in order) Kat, Karlo, Jorge, Marvin, Troy, at Wes. At nasa kama naman ako, si Martin, Alai, at Jelo. Kamusta naman kaming mga nasa kama no? Haha!

Paggising namin nung umaga, hinanda ko na yung rinequest ni Alai na pancakes. Haha! At ginawa ko siyang cake. Nagluto ako ng sampung pancakes, para tigiisa kami. Tapos pinagpatong-patong ko para magmukhang cake. At may kasama pang kandila yun sa taas. Haha. At nung kakain na kami ay nilabas ko na yung cake. Natuwa naman si Alai dun. Hehe.

Pagkatapos kumain, nagsimula na silang magayos. At nung mga 2 PM ay umalis na sila.

Bon voyage Troy! Ingat sa biyahe at goodluck sa buhay sa states. ^___^

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Ayun. Dahil sa overnight na ito ay narealize ko na namiss ko na talaga ang G11. As in miss na miss ko na sila. Pagkaalis kasi nila ay parang nalungkot ako. Naisip ko na hindi na kami ulit magiging kumpleto. Na hindi na rin kami magiging magkaklase sa mga susunod na taon kasi iba-iba na ang mga subjects namin. Na hindi ko na rin sila masyadong makakasama. Haaay. Ang emo na. Sorry naman. Haha.

Pero ayun, kahit na ganun ay alam ko naman na gagawa at gagawa pa rin kami ng paraan para magkasama. At syempre marami diyan, kagaya ko, ang magiging pasimuno sa mga gala at reunions. Haha!

Lollipop

> Kagabi, bago matulog, nagdecide na ako na di na ako magddrop ng ES 12. Ipaglalaban ko hanggang dulo! Haha! Mas gugustuhin ko nang magkasingko kesa naman sa mag-give up ako. Pero sana lang talaga ay tama ang desisyon ko. At sana talaga ay pumasa ako. Kailangan ko nang magaral ng mabuti sa dose! >_<

> Birthday nga pala ngayon ng kuya ko at ni Martin. Happy birthday ulit sa inyo! ^___^ Bongga si Martin! Nanlibre kanina! Yung iba nilibre niya ng pancit canton. Yung iba naman ay fried siomai. Ang sarap talaga pag libre! Salamat ulit Martin! Sayang nga lang at di kami nakapagpicture. Dala ko pa naman yung camera :( Huli na nung naisipan kong magpicture. Nakaalis na kasi yung iba.

> Natapos na rin ang day 1 ng "Hell Week" ng mga apps. At natuwa naman ako sa reaction ng mga mems sa costume ni buddy. Nagustuhan naman nila kahit papaano. Lollipop yung costume niya, kaso mejo nagmukhang polvoron. Haha! At syempre may kasama rin yung lollipop na pinamigay sa mga mems. At natuwa rin ako dahil 100% ang nakuhang grade ni buddy! (dance) Sana yung magustuhan din nila yung mga susunod na costumes ni buddy.

> Uhh. Just a random thought. Feeling ko ok na kami. Pero may limitations. Siguro hanggang dun na lang kami sa hi-hello relationship at maguusap lang kung kinakailangan. Well, that's fine with me. Kaso parang naiilang naman ako ngayon. Parang di ako makapagsalita o makapagreact ng maayos kapaga anjan siya. Ewan ko ba. Ang gulo ko talaga >___<

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Kahapon nanood kami ng Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince sa Trinoma. Kasama ko sina Alai, Lorr, Chet, Melai, Joe, Carl, AJ, Neil, Rhoda at Lei. Alam naming maraming manonood, kaya nung friday pa lang ay nagpareserve na ako ng seats sa SureSeats.

Exam pala namin kahapon sa EEE 21. Pagkatapos ng exam, dumerecho na kami sa Trinoma. Kasama pa namin nun si Denise. Kinuha na muna namin yung mga tickets. At pagkatapos ay kumain na kami sa Tokyo Tokyo. Pagkatapos kumain, umuwi na si Denise. At kami nama'y bumili muna ng popcorn at inumin at saka na pumasok sa sinehan.

Maganda naman yung movie. Sulit yung Php 190 na binayad namin. Ang dami pang laugh trip na scenes. Medyo nakakadisappoint nga lang kasi nagfocus masyado sa mga love story nung characters. Pero ayos lang, maganda pa rin yung movie. Puro tawanan at 'awww' ang maririnig mula sa audience. Hahaha! Tapos si Carl naman, tuwing lalabas si Ginny, 'punyeta' na lang ang maririnig mong lumalabas sa bibig niya. Hahaha! Sobrang saya talaga sa loob ng sinehan.

Pagkatapos namin manood, bumili muna kami ng ice cream sa DQ. Tapos tumambay na kami dun sa Food Choices. Grabe! Laugh trip din yung pagtambay namin dun. Sina Melai at Joe kasi nagbibisaya. Tawa kami ng tawa. Tapos tawang-tawa kami kay Chet kasi grabe siya makatawa. Halos di na siya makahinga. Haha! Tapos nirecord pa pala ni AJ sa laptop niya yung mga ginawa nina Melai at Joe. Pagkatapos nun, nagpicture-picture muna kami. At pagkatapos ay umuwi na kami.

Sobrang saya talaga.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Tapos naalala pala namin ni Alai yung EEE 34 days. Kasama nun sina Karlo at Jelo. Pagkatapos namin bumili ng mga gamit para sa EEE 34, tumambay kami sa may garden. At kung ano-ano lang ang mga pinagkkwentuhan namin. Umabot din kami dun nga mga 11:30 ng gabi sa sobrang sarap ng paguusap. Wala lang. Haha. Nakakamiss lang yung mga oras na yun. Sana nga may susunod pa kaming ganun.

Enrollment

Woot! Finally, enrolled na rin ako! And for the first time, natapos agad ako sa enrollment ko. Dati kasi, pasukan na ay di pa rin ako tapos. Pero grabe pa rin yung dinanas ko nitong nakaraang tatlong araw.

Day 1, wednesday:
Ito yung first day of enrollment. Dumerecho na muna ako sa Eng'g para tignan kung elige ako. Feeling ko kasi noon ay magiging inelige ako. At ayun nga ang nangyari, inelige ako. Kaya inayos ko na agad yun. Buti na lang maaga ako pumunta, at least nasa unahan ako ng pila. Pagkatapos ko maayos yun, pumunta na ako sa EEE kasama sina Alai, Karlo at Krisel para kunin ang mga form 5 at 5a namin.

Tapos kinelangan ko pang magprerog sa EEE 13. Kaso puno na lahat ng slots. Kaya sinubukin kong hanapin si sir Guinto. Kaso tuwing sabado lang pala siya nasa EEE. Kaya pinuntahan ko si ate Mimi ng admin para humingi ng tulong. Inemail niya si sir Guinto at balikan ko na lang raw bukas. Kaya wala na akong ibang nagawa nung araw na ito. Sinamahan ko na lang sina Greggue, Karlo, Eman, Troy at Bossing sa Eng'g habang hinihintay nila yung results ng ES 12.

Day 2, thursday:
Ito na yung pinakawalang kwentang araw ng enrollment. Dumerecho agad ako sa EEE para malaman kung nagreply na si sir Guinto. Kaso di pa rin nagrereply. Kaya nagantay muna ako saglit sa EEE. Tapos nakita ko si Lori, kulang pa pala siya ng ES 12. Kaya sinamahan ko na muna siya sa Eng'g. Pagdating doon, nakita namin sina Greggue, Karlo, at Gens. Nagusap-usap muna kami saglit. Tapos balak pa sana namin ni Lori na magprerog sa GE 1. Kaso di na pala pwede. Tapos bigla na lang nagbrownout.

Bumalik na muna kami ni Lori sa EEE. Habang papunta kami dun, nagulat na lang kami sa nakita namin sa may MSI. Halos lahat nung mga malalaking puno ay natumba. Tas may isang puno na sumabit sa mga cable ng kuryente. Kaya siguro nagbrownout. Parang may dumaan na ipo-ipo e. At tama pala kami, may ipo-ipo ngang dumaan. Kaya pala sobrang laki ng nagawang damage. Pagdating namin sa EEE, lahat ng tao nasa labas. Wala kasing kuryente sa loob. Kaya nagstay na muna kami ni Lori doon.

Tas maya-maya, nakita ko si kuya Randy, yung isa pang prof ng EEE 13. Kaya nilapitan ko siya agad para matanong kung pwede ako magprerog. Sabi niya titignan pa niya at balikan ko na lang daw siya bukas. At ayun, mejo nabuhayan na ako nun. Kasi nga may dalawa na akong options. Kaya ayun lang yung nagawa kong may sense nung araw na iyon.

Tas naglunch kami ni Lori sa Casaa. Tas dumerecho na siya sa dorm. At ako nama'y pinuntahan sina Rhayne sa Eng'g. Mag GE hunt na sana kami, kaso pagdating namin sa AS, sinabihan kami ng guard na suspended na nga raw yung enrollment. Kaya ayun, wala na naman kaming napala sa araw na ito.

Day 3, Friday:
Ito yung pinakasuccessful kong araw. Pagdating ko sa EEE, hindi pa nagsisimula yung enrollment. Kaya naghintay muna ako. Tas maya-maya ay dumating sina Rhayne at Jelo. Nagusap lang saglit, tas nung pwede na magenroll, naghiwa-hiwalay na kami. Pinuntahan ko agad si sir Randy. At ayun, pinayagan niya akong magprerog! Yehey!

Tas sumama muna ako kina Rhayne, Karlo, Lori, Wes at Bosing na mag GE hunt. Kaso wala rin kaming nakita. Kaya bumalik na muna kami sa EEE. Nagpavalidate na muna ako. Tas nung nakita ko sina Rhayne at Wes, nakapagprerog na rin sila sa EEE 21. Kaya ok na rin sila.

Naglunch na muna kami. At pagkatapos nun, nagpa-assess na ako at pumunta na ng OUR para magbayad. Mahaba yung pila, pero mabilis naman gumalaw. Kaya ayun, nakapagbayad na ako at natapos na rin ako sa enrollment!

Grabe. Tuwang-tuwa ako dahil natapos na rin ako sa paghihirap ng enrollment ^_^

Overnight

Woot! Woot!

Naenjoy ko nang bonggang bongga yung overnight sa bahay namin. Sobrang saya talaga!

Sinundo ko sina Jelo, Jorge, at Alai sa UP. Mga 12NN na kami dumating sa amin. Saktong pag dating namin sa bahay ay dumating na rin si Karlo. Tas imbes na pumunta pa kami sa Chowking na malapit lang sa amin, nagpadeliver na lang kami. At grabe lang yung mga inorder namin. Dalawang beef Chao Fan at siomai sa akin, kay Jelo ay dalawang Yang Chao at tofu, dalawang Yang Chao at siomai kay Karlo, 3 pork Chao Fan kay Jorge, at isang beef Chao Fan at buchi kay Alai. Grabe! Busog na busog kami dun! Ang bigat sa tiyan ng mga kinain namin e.

Habang hinihintay namin humina ang sikat ng araw, nagkaraoke na muna kami. Nung hindi na masyadong maaraw, pumunta na kami sa basketball court para magbasketball. Kaso pagdating namin dun ay may mga naglalaro na. Kaya sinubukin namin sa Marist, kaso sarado. Kaya umuwi na lang kami.

Pagdating namin sa bahay, nagulat kami dahil andun na pala si Kat. Kakarating lang pala niya. Naglaro na lang kami ng volleyball at badminton sa tapat ng bahay. Si Kat naman ay nagbike.

Mejo nahihiya pala ako sa kanila nung mga oras na yun. Hindi kasi natupad yung plinano namin. Pero feeling ko naman ay nagenjoy pa rin sila kahit papaano.

Pagkatapos maglaro ay nagpahinga na muna kami sa sala habang nanonood ng Spongebob. Tapos dumating na si JE. Kaya kumain na kami ng dinner. Tas biglang may nagdoor bell. Akala namin si Michaelle. Tas nagulat kami dahil si Gens ang nakita namin. Ang sabi niya kasi di siya makakapunta. Tas bigla na lang siyang dumating. Hahaha. Tapos dumating na rin si Michaelle. Nakumpleto na rin kami sa wakas!

Pagkatapos ay bumalik na kami sa kwarto ko. Nagsiliguan na kaming mga naglaro, ako, si Jelo, Karlo, at si Jorge. Tapos ay nanuod na kami ng Eurotrip! Hahaha! Grabe! Laugh trip talaga yung movie. Kahit pangalawang beses ko na yun napanuod, tawa pa rin ako ng tawa.

Pagkatapos nun ay natulog na sina Jelo, Michaelle at Jorge. Matutulog na rin ako dapat, kaso di ako makatulog dahil nanunuod pa yung iba ng Turn Left, Turn Right. At ang iingay nila! Hahaha. Kaya nakahiga lang ako the whole time at nakapikit ang mata. Pero nakatulog din ata ako sa kalagitnaan nung movie. Pero nagising din ako nung patapos na.

Pagkatapos nun ay natulog na rin sila. Katabi ko nun sina Jelo at Gens. At grabe lang si Gens. Inagawan ako ng kumot! Giniginaw tuloy ako nun. Buti na lang may kumot pang nakabalot sa may paanan ko nun. Pero si Jelo ata ang pinakakawawa. Wala siyang kumot! Hahaha. Tapos may times na nagigising ako. May mga nagssnore kasi ng malakas! Tas nagigising din ako minsan kasi nagssnore sina Jelo at Gens. Hahaha!

Nung sumikat na yung araw, nagsigisingan na kami. Unang umalis si JE. Tapos sina Michaelle at Jorge. Tas sina Kat, Alai, at Gens. Kami nina Jelo at Karlo ang huling umalis. Tas bago kami pumunta ng UP ay kumain muna kaming tatlo ng brunch sa Mcdo Katips. Pagkatapos kumain ay dumerecho na kami ni Karlo sa UP para sa removals exam namin. Tas si Jelo naman ay umuwi na ng Laguna.

Grabe! Super enjoy talaga yung overnight na yun. Ang saya-saya nung mga bonding moments namin. Sa uulitin guys! ^___^

Timezone

Sa mga nakalipas na araw, halos lagi na akong nasa Techno Hub tuwing pagkatapos ng klase o exam para kumain sa KFC at maglaro sa Timezone.

Nung tuesday, may klase dapat kami sa EEE 23 Lec. Kaso nilipat sa wednesday. Kaya kumain kami nina Jelo, Greggue, Loribelle, Dondon, Michaelle at Jorge sa Tree House. Pagkatapos kumain ay dapat uuwi na kami. Kaso biglang nagkayayaan. Kaya nagpunta kami sa Timezone. Si Greggue ay di na nakasama dahil may klase pa siya. Pagdating namin doon, naglaro kami agad. Sina Michaelle at Jorge ay nag-karaoke. Samantala kami nina Jelo at Dondon ay naglaro ng basketball at DDR. Si Lori naman ay naglaro rin. Kaso di ko na alam kung ano yung mga nalaro niya. Ang galing naming CR buddies. Habang tumatagal e nag-iimprove na kami sa DDR. Kahit saglit lang kami dun e sobrang saya. Pagod na pagod kami saka tumutulo na yung mga pawis namin.

Nung wednesday naman, may exam kami sa EEE 23 mula 1 PM hanggang 4 PM. Pagkatapos ng exam, bigla na lang ulit nagkayayaan. Sa Techno Hub na naman. Mga kasama ko nun ay sina Jelo, Greggue, Lori, Michaelle, Jorge, Dondon, at Gens. Kumain muna kami sa KFC. Tapos nagbaraha saglit. Pagkatapos ay dumerecho na kami sa Timezone. At kagaya ng dati, naglaro ulit kami ng bonggang bongga. Nagbasketball, DDR, Dance Maniax, Air Hockey, at marami pang iba. Si Greggue e sobrang galing sa basketball. Ang tataas ng scores. Tapos kami namang CR buddies ay todo ang improvement sa DDR. From light, triny na namin ung standard. Tapos imbes na 4 steps e 5 steps na. Ang galing talaga. At as usual, pagod na pagod kami at basang basa sa pawis. Pero sobrang saya talaga nun.

At kanina ang pinaka-latest kong punta run. Kasama ko sina Jelo, Greggue, Dondon at Karlo. Pagkatapos ng finals namin sa Math 55 ay pumunta muna kami sa Eng'g Lib II para samahan sina Wes at Troy. Titignan kasi nila kung exempted ba sila sa EEE 35 finals. Pagkatapos ay nagpunta naman kami sa Eng'g para asikasuhin naman ang ES 11. At pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito ay dumerecho na kami sa Techno Hub. Kumain muna kami sa KFC, naglaro ng baraha at nagpalipas muna ng oras. 12 NN kasi nagbubukas yung Timezone. Pagdating ng 12 ay dumerecho na kami run. Naglaro kami ng basketball, DDR, Dance Maniax, Tekken 6, Drum Mania at kumanta. Hindi masyadong pinalad kaming CR buddies sa DDR. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero halos lagi na kaming namamatay. Di na kami masyadong makakumpleto ng kanta. Nakakalungkot lang. Hay. Pero anyway, ayun, super saya pa rin. At as usual ay pagod na pagod kami at basang basa ng pawis. Hahaha.

Ayun. Grabe. Sobrang saya talaga. Sana madalas pa rin itong mangyayari. Ang saya kasi e. At nakakabond ko pa sila ng bonggang bongga. Kaya sana talaga e maulit ito. Salamat talaga sa inyo guys! ^_^

Valentine's Day

Nagsimula ang lahat sa date namin kay Math 55. Hahaha. Date talaga e no? Hahaha. Ayun. Nakabawi naman ako sa exam na ito. Halos lahat e nasagot ko at kampante ako sa mga sagot ko.

Pagkatapos nun ay nagkita-kita kaming G11, ako, Jelo, Alai, Rhayne, Karlo, Kat, at pati na rin si Lori ay kasama. Nagplano kasi kami ng isang group date. Nung una e hindi pa namin alam kung saan kami kakain. Tapos nag-suggest si Kat na sa Flaming Wings na lang sa Katips. Lahat kami pumayag kaya dun na lang kami kumain. Grabe! Ang sarap dun! Tenders yung inorder naming lahat. At sobrang sarap nun. Sina Kat at Rhayne e ung pinakamaanghang ang inorder. Samantala kami e ung original lang. Tas pinatikim sa akin ni Kat ung Tenders niya. Grabe! Ang anghang! Kaya pala ganun na lang ang reaksyon nila. Hahaha! Pagkatapos ay nagorder naman kami ng dessert. Wicked Oreo ang inorder namin. At sobrang sarap din nun! May vanilla ice cream sa gitna tas may tatlong oreo cookies na may coating na pancake mix ata. Basta ang sarap nun! Nirerecommend ko talaga ang Flaming Wings. Tapos ayun, kwentuhan at picture-picture. Ang saya talaga.

Pagkatapos nun ay nagsiuwian na kami. Sina Kat, Lori at Alai ay bumalik ng UP. Sina Jelo at Rhayne ay sa LRT na dumerecho. Tapos sumabay na ako kay Karlo dahil pupunta pa ako ng SM Marikina dahil andun sina Mama. Tapos ayun, binilhan ako ni Mama ng bagong sapatos at cellphone. Kaya tuwang-tuwa ako. Hehehe. Salamat Mama! ^^,

Ito na so far ang best Valentine's Day ko. Maraming maraming salamat talaga sa lahat for making my day a very memorable one. ^^,

Birthdays and Overnight II

After the overnight, we all went back to UP because some still had classes, while others came for the Lantern Parade, Miss Engineering, and for the free engineering shirts by Meralco.

Karlo still had a Math 55 class. So I decided to go and sit-in in his class. But when we got there, they didn't have a class after all. So we went to the tambayan to get our Circuit shirts. After which we went to the Eng'g cafe to eat lunch. And then to the ESC to fall in line for the free shirts. And to my surprise, we were the first in line! Hahaha!

After getting our shirts, Karlo left and I stayed at the Eng'g steps to wait for Jorge. When Jorge arrived, we went to the ESC to fall in line for the free shirts. He asked me if I could proxy for Jelo. So I said yes, and I had to get rid of the stamp on my arm so I could get another shirt. Good thing the stamp was easy to erase. After getting the shirts, we went back to the Eng'g steps for the lantern parade. There, we met with Alai and Michaelle.

The parade started at around four in the afternoon. I really enjoyed it, especially the ones made by the College of Fine Arts. Then we went to Joaqim's to eat dinner. Then we went to the UP Theater for Miss Engineering. There, we met with Greggue and we played Pusoy Dos. After playing, we fell in line. At around nine in the evening, the fireworks display began. It was really beautiful to watch. It lasted for around ten minutes I think. After the fireworks, we went inside. The program lasted until two in the morning. It was really hilarious to watch especially when my high school classmate was one of the contestants. Hahaha! I really enjoyed it.

Anyway, that's it. By the way, I would like to thank Denise and Christine for their gifts to me. ^^,

Birthdays and Overnight I

It all started the night before December 16. I was panicking because it was already very late and I still haven't finished wrapping my presents for my friends. And in addition to that, I was also busy chatting with her. So I slept at around one in the morning. Good thing we didn't have classes in PE anymore.

The next day was supposedly our last day in school, and it was Jelo's birthday too. I still had a class in Art Stud 1, Math 55 and EEE 23. During lunch time, I gave my birthday and Christmas presents to them. And we also had our annual exchanged gifts. The present that I got was from Rhayne, and it was a 300 pesos gift certificate at Fully Booked. Thanks Rhayne! ^^,

After classes, I was supposed to meet with Anna at the FC to give her my Christmas gift. The others went with me. After that, we went to Melchor Hall, then to Joaqim's to eat, and then back to the Eng'g steps to watch the Maskipaps. We waited until the Circuit pair performed. After that, me, Michaelle, Jorge, Wes, Rhayne, Karlo, and Jelo met up with Rhayne's father because he was going to give us a ride.

When we got to my house, we played Pusoy Dos and Twister. It was so much fun. Then midnight came, and we greeted Rhayne a happy birthday. At around 2 o' clock, Troy, Martin and JE finally arrived and we were able to eat burgers. After eating, we again played Twister, and then Truth or Truth.

We slept at around four in the morning. When I woke up, I was shocked because my head was in between Jelo's and Jorge's butts. Hahaha!

Rhayne had to leave early because he still had a class. He left at around six. The rest of us ate breakfast. And soon after, Jelo and Michaelle left at around eight. And the rest, including me, left at around nine.

I really enjoyed this overnight. It's really a night to remember. Thank you Alai, Loribelle, and Rhayne for your gifts. ^^,

Awitan

After weeks of hard work and practice, finally, the day for Awitan came. And it was a very hectic day for me.

It started off with our CWTS class. I arrived earlier than I expected. So to make my time useful, I decided to review for my Math 55 and Math 114 exams. It was already past eight when the officers arrived. We all thought that we were going to rappel. But instead, the group who already knows how to do the Aussie Walk was asked to be the audience at the program by the UP Vanguard at the Quezon Hall while the other group would do the Aussie Walk. It was our group who already did the Aussie Walk. So we went to the Quezon Hall and watched the program and we all enjoyed it. An hour and a half before our exam in Math 55, me, Jelo, Kyle, Dondon, Anna, and the ones who had exams, left and went to the Math Building. Before the exam, me, Jelo, Kyle and Dondon went to the canteen and ate lunch. After eating, we went to our classroom and waited for the exam to start.

After the exam, the others left while I stayed behind for my Math 114 exam. I met with Karlo, Hazel, Carl and Krisha at the canteen. Before the exam, me, Hazel, and Chet decided that by 5 PM, we should all be finished with our exams. The three of us finished by four o' clock. The three of us left and met with Denise and we all went to SM City North Edsa.

When we arrived, me and Hazel first ate, then went to the fourth floor open parking for the last practice. Then we all went to cinema 6 to register and change into our costume.

At around seven thirty, the contest finally started. We were the seventh to perform. Some of the performers before us sang very well. And then it was our turn. Our performance of Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin was not that bad. But our performance of Jingle Bells Calypso was a mess. The first note of soprano one was wrong. And I saw that Gigi's eyes widened at the sound of it. And aside from that, we all sang very fast. So it was a complete mess.

In the end, IE Club won, followed by CIEM and Cursor. For me, it was alright that we didn't win. What is important is that we had fun.

Rappelling (Aussie Walk)

This morning, we had our 2nd TD for our CWTS. The first part was a lecture about fire safety. I learned a lot from it. The second part was all about rappelling, specifically, the aussie walk. And I thought that it would be that easy. But when it was already my turn, OMG! I just can't do it. I was up in the tower for around 15 minutes already, I think. And many people have already done it, including Anna and Jelo. I was really scared at that time. Everytime I would do the slanting position, my knees would always tremble and I would always pull myself back. I was really scared. The officer on top was giving me encouraging words already. And after a while, I just did it. When I started walking down, I didn't feel scared anymore. I guess I was only afraid with going to that slanting position. After rappelling down, I had this feeling and excitement. And I wanted to go up the tower and try it again. But it was already time. Anyway, there's still a next time.

Second Sem

Two weeks have already past since the first day of classes. And now I'm getting used to with my schedule. And here's what I think would be my routine for the rest of the sem.

On mondays, I would meet with Greggue at around 7:30 in the morning to compare answers with the exercises given on ES 11. After the ES11 Lab, I would go to Rodic's to have lunch with Greggue, Alai, Rhayne, and Eman. After lunch, it's either I would stay in UP for a while, or go home already.

On tuesdays, I would leave my Art Stud 1 class 15 minutes before time, and run to the Math Building. After our Math 55 class, I would eat lunch at CS or wherever with Greggue, Jelo, Rhayne, Alai, Kyle, Loribelle, Wes, Michaelle, and Jorge. Then after our EEE 23 Lec, Michaelle and I would meet and hang around in UP while waiting for Jorge to finish his class.

On wednesdays, I would usually arrive an hour early for our ES 11 Lec. I would then reserve seats for Greggue, Martin, Eman, Rhayne, Dondon, and Gens. I would also bring my jacket just in case I can't take the cold temperature at our Math 114 classroom. After our Math 114 class, I would eat at the CS Canteen. After that, it's either I'll be with Jelo, Greggue and Loribelle, or I would just go the the library and read a book or study while waiting for our EEE 23 DC. After our class, I would either wait in the tambayan for our Awitan rehearsal, or I would go directly to the College of Music.

On thursdays, it would be the same as my tuesday schedule. The difference is that after our EEE 23 Lec, it's either I would go home already, or go to UST with Jelo or by myself to meet someone.

On fridays, it would also be the same as my wednesday schedule. But the difference is that I don't have a EEE 23 class in the afternoon. So I would either go to the tambayan and wait for the rehearsals, or sit-in in Greggue's class, or go to the library to read a book or study, or go directly to the College of Music and wait there.

And on saturdays, after our CWTS Mil Sci 2 class, it's either we would eat at Mcdo Philcoa and hang around til the afternoon, or eat somewhere else in UP, like in Molave, and also hang around til the afternoon.

So that's pretty much what my routine would be for the rest of the sem.

Two Weeks Notice

Hindi ko alam kung appropriate ba or kung tama ba ung title ng post ko ngayon.

Ang tagal ko na pa lang hindi nauupdate ung blog ko. Anyway, ito ung mga nangyari sa akin for the past two weeks.

Grabe lang yung enrollment period. Super hagard! Akyat-baba ako ng EEE Building. Inaabangan pa namin si sir Roxas para makapag pre-rog sa kanya sa EEE 23. From EEE Building, pumunta ako ng FC, tapos sa CAL, para lang macancel yung isa kong GE. Pabalik-balik pa ako sa PNB at AS para makachempo ng maiksing pila para makapagbayad na ng tuition fee.

Noong November 9, 2008 naman, birthday ni Kat at EK Day namin! Grabe! Super saya talaga nito. Isa ito sa mga hindi ko makakalimutang bonding moments with G11. Maraming salamat din kay Ma'am Kristyl, dahil kung wala siya, hindi ito matutuloy. Mga kasama pala nun ay ako, Kat, Alai, Jelo, JE, Greggue, Jorge, Michaelle, Frank, Rosa, Troy, Karlo, Marvin at Ma'am Kristyl.Natapos na rin ang first week of classes namin. Okay naman. Expected ko na na ganun yung mga mangyayari. Bahala na lang talaga. Saka goodluck na lang sakin sa schedule ko with Art Stud 1 at Math 55. Goodluck sa aking studies. Magsisipag na talaga ako ngayong sem. Promise ko yun sa sarili ko.

Tas kahapon, pumunta kami nina Rhayne, Karlo, at Greggue sa Recto para bumili ng mga libro. Hahaha! Ang hirap kasi hanapin nung mga libro namin e. Kaya dun pa kami dumayo. Ayun. Enjoy naman. Hahaha! Sobrang nakakapagod nga lang. Lakad galore kasi. Hahaha.

Tas kanina CWTS namin. Ayun. Hiwahiwalay kami ng mga grupo. Ok naman ako sa grupo ko, andun kasi siya. Hahaha. Sana lang talaga ay maenjoy ko ang CWTS na to. Sana makasundo ko lahat ng mga kagrupo ko. At sana lagi kaming (with blockmates) kakain sa labas after ng CWTS. Parang nung 1st sem lang.

DVD Marathon / Poker Night / Overnight

Last Tuesday, November 4, Kat, Jelo, Troy, Gens, Martin, Alai, Rosa, Michaelle, Jorge, and kuya Miko went to our house for the DVD marathon, instead of watching My Only Ü at Trinoma. It was so much fun. We were able to watch, I think, 4 movies.

Then during the late afternoon, we decided to buy some food for dinner. Rosa volunteered to cook carbonara. So each one of us contributed 50 pesos to buy the ingredients. Then at home, Rosa, Jorge, Alai, and me, were cooking the carbonara, Troy and Martin were making black gulaman, while the others were upstairs in my room. We had so much fun while cooking. And take note, the carbonara we cooked was an experimental dish. We really didn't know how to cook it. When dinner came, everyone was very hungry. But after the first serving of the pasta, everyone was already full. There were only a few, including me, who had a second serving of the pasta.

After eating, we went straight to my room. Some were watching a movie, one was using the internet, while the rest were playing poker. We had so much fun playing poker because we were able to use the poker chips of my brother. In the end, Jelo won.

After playing, Jelo, Kat, Martin, and kuya Miko went home. And after a few hours, Rosa also went home. And the rest spent the night at our house.

The next day, we went to UP for the enrollment.


I really enjoyed this day because we were able to bond with each other. ^_^

It's Over

I just have to accept the fact that sem break is finally over. It was fun while it lasted. I got to do many things during the sem break.

I'm finally finished with the application process for UP Circuit. I'm officially a member!

I got to attend Alyssa's debut which was so much fun, especially the bonding moments.

I got to meet a new friend. Her name is Rosa Melencio (Troy's bestfriend).

I got to read Angels and Demons, The Alchemist, and A Walk To Remember. Right now, I'm still reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm somehow frustrated because I was planning to read more books, like Deception Point and Digital Fortress. But I guess, since I was kinda busy, I only managed to allot a small time to read books.

I finally managed to upgrade the designs of my Friendster, Multiply, and Blogger accounts. Though it's not that aesthetically appealing as I was hoping for. But still, it's way much better than the previous layouts.

I was able to clean my room. Finally! After the first semester ended, my room was really a mess. I'm glad that I was able to clean it. Now it looks neat and clean.

Finally, I was able to go to SM City Marikina. It's not that big, but it looks like SM City The Block.

I managed to watch 2 movies, High School Musical 3: Senior Year, and Max Payne. I really won't forget HSM3. I really loved it.

I was able to fully understand the game of poker. Thanks to Jelo, I now know how to play poker. And somehow, I'm addicted to it.

I even cried. (I don't wanna talk about it)

I realized so many things with myself and my friends. And now, everything's clear between us.

And that's all, I guess. But I'm really frustrated that I wasn't able to learn how to play guitar. That really sucks. I just hope that someday, I would learn how to play it.

So goodbye sem break..

..and hello 2nd sem!

I'm really hoping that I'll enjoy the second sem as I had enjoyed the first sem. Goodluck to me.

Alyssa's 18th Birthday

Woot!

It was Alai's 18th birthday last Monday, October 27, 2008. She held a party and her high school friends, G11, and Circuit friends were invited.

Our block decided to meet at Mcdo Philcoa at 3PM. When I got there, Troy and Rosa were already there. And we were all wearing orange shirts. Then Jelo arrived and we were surprised with his new haircut. Then Rhayne arrived and we were more shocked with his new hairstyle. Me and Troy also had a new haircut. So we decided to take a picture of ourselves. It was so cool. Hahaha. And then people started arriving, Karlo, Lorr, Martin, Michaelle, and lastly, Jorge. Then we went to Alai's place. When we got there we transfered to another house where the party was going to be held. After all the people arrived, we all said a short message for Alai. Then we all ate. After eating, our block and Circuit went outside while her high school friends were singing inside. We played pusoy dos and talked with one another. Then after a while, our block and Circuit went inside to sing while her high school friends were now outside. But me, Jelo, Karlo, Martin, Troy, and Rhayne stayed outside to play poker. It was so much fun. Some of us didn't know how to play poker that much, so Jelo guided us. By the way, we didn't have any chips. So we improvised and used coins instead. After playing, we went inside to sing. While others sang, we either played poker or pusoy dos. Then her high school friends, Rhayne, and Circuit friends went home, except for Denise. So the only ones who stayed for the overnight were G11 and Denise. While others slept, me, Alai, Jelo, Denise, Martin, Gens, and Rosa went outside to talk with one another. We talked about many things. At about 5AM we went inside to try to get some sleep. But instead, we just talked. Then at about 7AM, the ones who were awake went to Alai's house for breakfast. Then the others showed up. We stayed at Alai's house up until 3PM. Some slept, some just talked, while others played poker. And after that, we bade goodbye to Alai and we all went our seperate ways.

I really enjoyed her birthday and the overnight. I knew how to play poker. I knew a lot of "chismis". And, we all got to bond with one another.

So thank you Alai and Happy Birthday! ^_^

Oh BTW Alai, I'm sorry for the card I gave you. The things I said there were not that good and not complete. So I'm planning to make a new card for you. I'll just give it to you next week. I hope you understand. Sorry.

At ayan ang mga nangyari sakin nung nakaraang linggo. Sorry ang haba.

Missing Them

I really miss them. Alai, Michaelle, Jelo, and Gens. Our barkada.

I really miss those times.

I miss the times when we would always go to the library after class to use the internet so as not to waste our 30 hours of free internet. Then we would go outside to buy pansit canton and then talk about anything.

I miss the times when we're always hanging out at CASAA after class. We would always buy food and sometimes buy food for those who doesn't have any money. And then we're just gonna talk about anything and play cards up until 6 in the evening. Then we would transfer to either the Main Lib or at the Sunken Garden. There, we would continue talking and playing cards.

I miss the times when we're at the Sunken Garden. Where we would talk all night long. And even once, we played Ice Breaker. It was so much fun because we all opened up to one another. Or sometimes we would just lay on the grass and watch the stars (if there are any) up in the sky.

I really miss those times where we would just hangout after class and bond with one another. And eventhough sometimes I'm feeling out of place, I still wouldn't trade this for anything. Because they're my friends, or should I say, my close friends. And I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. And I'm very thankful that I met people like you guys. I really hope that before this sem ends, we would all be able to fix our problems with one another and go back to the things they were before.

I really miss you guys.

Kwentuhan

Nangyari ito last Friday, September 26, 2008.

Nagpunta na naman kami nina Alai, Jelo, Karlo, at Rhayne sa SM North para muling bumili ng mga components para sa aming EEE 34 project. After nun, as usual, nag Timezone ulit kami sa Trinoma. Kung ano-ano mga nilaro namin dun. Tas umalis din si Rhayne after a few hours. Hinahanap na daw kasi siya sa bahay.

Tapos kumain kami sa KFC. Lahat kami nag Fully Loaded Meal maliban kay Alai na nag Famous Bowl. Tapos nagkuwentuhan lang kami dun. Pupunta rin sana kami sa open house ng Yakal, kaso di na aabot. So nagstay na lang kami dun. Ayun. Kung ano-ano mga napagkwentuhan namin. Tapos napagdesisyunang lumipat na lang kami sa rooftop, kung saan ung mga restaurants. Pag dating namin dun, naghanap kami ng puwesto. Napansin namin halos lahat nakaupo sa may gilid. So sabi ni Jelo sa may gitna daw kami para maiba. Ayun, sa may gitna nga kami umupo. Tas dahil hindi na namin maalala kung saan kami tumigil ng paguusap, nagbaraha na lang kami.

Tapos nagsimula na naman ung kwentuhan. Tas ang nangyari, parang part 2 ng open forum na ginawa dati sa bahay namin. Tas ayun, naayos na rin ung problema namin ni Alai. So okay na okay na kami. Pati ung issue namin ni Jelo napagusapan at naklaro na rin. Basta. Ang dami pa, kaso di ko na pede ielaborate kung ano yung mga yun.

Tas balak naming umuwi at around 8 PM. E napasarap sa kwetuhan. So ayun. 11 PM na kami umalis dun. Tas pagdating namin sa sakayan papuntang UP, ang haba! Edi naghintay kami. Tas tinanong na rin namin para sure kung papuntang UP nga yun. Hindi na pala. Edi taxi next choice. Ang dami ring naghihintay. So naglakad na lang kami. As in nilakad namin from Trinoma to Philcoa. Kamusta naman yun diba? Haha! Pero ang saya pa rin. Tas imbes na nagleft kami sa may circle para mas maiksi na lang ung lalakarin, nagright kami! Hahaha! Nag long cut tuloy kami. Hahaha. Tas pag dating namin sa Philcoa, nagtricycle na si Jelo papuntang boarding house niya. Tas hinintay namin ni Karlo na makasakay ng bus si Alai. Tas nagtaxi na kami ni Karlo pauwi.

Ayan ang nangyari samin nung friday. Nakakapagod, pero super saya pa rin. Basta ung highlight ng gabing ito ay ung kwentuhan. Hehe.
