This is the moment in my life when everything doesn’t seem normal.

I guess it’s because my high school journey has finally ended. Maybe it’s because I’m not used to doing nothing, because I’m used to doing tons of school stuff. Maybe it’s because I’m not used having so much free time. 

Whatever the reason is, I sure am going to miss high school.

I’m going to miss the students in blue and white uniforms, chatting and walking around the school. I’m going to miss the feeling of getting really tired and sweaty, after climbing so many flights of stairs just to get to my classroom on 3rd floor. I’m going to miss how I would always arrive at school on time (and when I say on time, I mean 7:30, just the right time for a person not to be late) and how I would run to my classroom really fast because I wouldn’t want my classmates’ eyes on me when I enter the classroom, when class has already started.

Who would forget Corpus Christi’s cheering competitions? Definitely not me. I’ll forever remember the tears and smiles of me and my fellow batchmates, after winning the said competition for 2 consecutive years. I will always treasure the times when we were so tired we wanna give up, but did not.

I’ll miss Manang Guard who would always open the gates of the school for me when I go there at 9pm, so that I could wait for my dad to fetch me. I’ll miss how we would always talk about the most random things, from the school staff to burglars of our school. I’ll also miss the vendors in our school, from Manong Kwek Kwek to the lady who sells burgers.

One of the reasons why I’m excited for school. :’)

PS: The minion there is Kwek-kwek. Hehehe :) That’s her profile picture on FB (she doesn’t post pictures of herself for ~*privacy*~ purposes) :))

I spent quality time with Charie and Sam two days ago. We ate lunch in our house, went to SM to watch A Secret Affair (which was really good), went inside a horror house for free, talked about our lives and about latest news, laughed, etc. Oh, it was a beautiful day.

Heyyy, it’s my birthday tomorrowww (not that I’m excited or something though) XD

With my jeje friends last Thursday, during music class. :)

Classmates Wishlist

School is in two days, and here are some of the people I’d really like to have as my classmates! :) MEHEHEHE ^_^ In no particular order:

Chicken, my forever close friend! I miss our ~*love talks*~ HAHAHAH! She sometimes calls me Vaj, btw. And I call her Gina. Vaj, Gina! Gets? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Gabby, Dee, and Ica! :D Gabby is my forever groupmate (we’re always groupmates, and I mean ALWAYS HAHAHA), and he is the boy whom I often talk to in the classroom. And Gabby also lets me borrow his notes! HAHAHA K. Dee is my forever pretty friend. I miss “bullying” her and I miss her laughs! She laughs for no reasons, and sometimes I get convinced that she really is crazy. HAHAHA. And Ica! I love this girl to infinity. I miss “bullying” her, too! XD

Quennie! She never uploads pictures on FB because of her belief that FB is a dangerous place and you could get kidnapped or something if you post your information there! That’s her profile picture on Facebook, btw. HAHAHA. Uhm, she may be super frank and scary sometimes (she’s one of the girls who’s respected and feared in our batch, lol), but I still love her because she’s my friend and I know that she’s not plastic. Mehehehe. I miss you, kwek kwek! (I’m the only one who calls her kwek kwek, and I’m glad that she doesn’t get mad at me XD)

KHALIL! HAHAHAHAHHA XD He recently deactivated his Facebook and this is the most decent picture I could find (in 2 mins. HAHAHA sorry I’m lazyyyy). He’s the one in the left! I want us to be classmates this year because he’s really funny and I could talk about grades to him without feeling self-conscious or like I’m bragging. AND WE HAVE AN UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO FINISH, KHAL. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. HAHAHAHA BITTERRRRR! ;P ^ That photo is taken 3 years ago, I think.

Mo! I miss him sooooo much! I really love this guy. JSDHKDHKJADSHKJADSH. And I hope that this year, he won’t be bullying J anymore because I feel sorry for J. HAHAHAHA. I kept on telling him to stop bullying J but he wouldn’t listen. -_-” Bad Mo, bad! 

Jay-r/Primo! He’s funny and super smart, and I miss our green jokes! HEHEHEHEHEH >:D He’s my partner when it comes to “CLEAN” stuff. HAHAHAHHA.

Hannah, the forever beautiful and smart girl! I miss our mock fights (AND I KNOW I’M PRETTIER THAN YOU. HAHAHAH. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID. HAHAHAHA), and she’s one of the people I look up to. She’s the perfect role model for everyone! Next to me, of course. HAHAHAHAHAHAH HANNAH. :P

Wayne, the forever handsome athlete! HAHAHA :) Watch out, this guy is very vocal and he’s also funny. Even though his jokes are really really corny at times, he’s still very likeable! I miss his laughs (he’s as crazy as Dee) and I miss his “Run The World” dance moves! XD

Charie and Sam! They’re my bitches bestfriends. Need I say more? :3

I have a 50% chance to have them as my classmates, since there are 2 honor sections. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN MY FAVOR!

I was in my room, fumbling through my cabinet, looking for some pictures to look at and I found this. :)

This is an old picture of me with Sam F, Jekko, and Sam B. This was taken two years ago, when we were still in first year. We watched Tooth Fairy (or New Moon?) at that time and we decided to go to Picture City to have our pictures taken. I remember being so happy that day, because of my friends and all. I remember Jekko sitting beside Sam F, and Sam B and I were teasing them. HAHAHA :)) And I remember Jekko lending his yellow jacket to Sam F and it was double kilig. HAHA.  I was not-so-fat back then. :(

Upon seeing this picture, I realized that there have been so many changes in the past two years. Jekko, Sam F, Sam B, and I are still friends, but it is not the same as before. Let me tell you our story.

When we were still freshies, there were many of us bestfriends. There were 8 of us — Me, Maria, Charie, Chennie, Sam B, Sam F, Jekko, and Jee. We were inseparable; we would always be seen together and we always did things together. When we became sophomores, we “separated” because we had different sections. Sam F and Maria were in section C, Sam B and Jee were in section H, Jekko was in section I, and Charie and I were in section T. Everything changed. I still consider these 7 people as my bestfriends, but when I say bestfriends who are still with me and who still keep in touch with me ALWAYS, they are Sam B, Jekko, and Charie. When we became Juniors, Jekko transferred to the new campus of our school and we (Sam, Charie, and I) rarely see him. I always call him “traydor” but hey! He’s still my bestfriend and he keeps in touch with me. :D

Memories. ♥

(L-R) Jekko, Teresa, Me and Charie.

The four of us went to the mall to celebrate Charie’s birthday, which was actually yesterday. Charie was going to treat us to a movie and a snack afterwards. We planned to meet in school at 2 in the afternoon.

I had slept at four in the morning the previous night because I was watching two movies in a row. I can’t seem to remember what their titles are, just that I watched two movies. And I had woke up at 1:40 in the afternoon. I was very groggy at the time and my brother was studying beside me and I told him to wake me up when it was already one and my brother then told me that it was already 1:40 in the afternoon and I started panicking and my grogginess magically disappeared. I was pondering if I should still take a bath when it was almost 2 and decided I might as well just take a bath because I guessed Teresa or Charie or Jekko would most likely be late. After that, I took the nearest dress I could find (Since it takes less time and I won’t have to look for a good shirt or jeans), dressed up, combed my hair for a bit, gave up because it always ends up being stupid anyway, heard my brother tell me he was going out and he had my dad’s car and that he’d just drive me to school, mentally dance around and celebrate because I could get to school faster now and I don’t have to spend my money yet, panic, wonder if I should brush my teeth, shrug, think ‘nah, it’d take too much time’, told my brother I was ready and we were off. Just as we arrived in front of the school, Teresa, Charie and Jekko were just getting out and deciding, probably, to text me to just meet them at the mall because I was taking too long and they were tired of waiting.

Hey, I’m lucky I was able to catch them just before they left.

I immediately launched into explaining “I woke up at 1:40! I’M SO SORRY!” and then it was a chorus of “HEY, HI, IT’S BEEN SO LONG! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” from all of us. We went to the mall and decided to watch Moron 5 and the Crying Lady. I haven’t seen many Filipino Films because my father rarely watches Filipino films so we don’t watch them too. But I did like the film. It was funny and I burst out laughing out loud at certain parts.

After the movie, we went to eat at Mcdonald’s. Teresa and I hung back while Jekko and Charie walked ahead of us.Teresa and I were talking about books and about tumblr and since we know that both Jekko and Charie don’t like reading books and don’t have a blog, we hung back. While eating our food, we talked about anything that came to mind: About summer, about which college we wanted to go to (Jekko and Teresa wanted to go to U.P too! HIGH FIVE!) and we also talked about the things that happened before. The things that happened before that we were talking about mostly revolved around Teresa, those strange and hilarious things that happened to her. And other stuff.

It was a very fun day and I can’t help but think about how easy it is to feel like there’s nothing bad that could ever happen to you when you’re with your friends and how it’s so wonderful to swim in the depths of comfort and friendship.

Pictures ahead! The pictures aren’t clear because we used a digital camera and my friends’ hands are very shaky.

P.S: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARIE! Well, belated happy birthday, I mean.

Reblogging this because I was too tired to blog about the other day. HAHAHA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARIE! :D

Sam, Mary Rose, and I watched The Hunger Games today! Yay! :))

It was good. There were some changes but those didn’t make the movie look bad. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were awesome and Alexander Ludwig was freaking handsome! HAHAHAHA! :) There were some shots that made me dizzy because they were too fast, though. 

We were the first ones who went inside the cinema, and that is something. HHAHAHHAHA! My heart was screaming when the movie started because I was too excited and Sam was trying to kill me by ripping my skin and my pants off.  It’s a miracle I’m still alive today and my wrists didn’t go red. O_o

I like the parade of the tributes part, the cave part, and the part where Cato, Peeta, and Katniss were the only ones left. Jennifer really did well in her role and Effie was also awesome. I can’t remember all the good things right now, sooo.. Basta! HAHAHAHA!

The movie was good, but I must say that it didn’t exceed my expectations. There were a lot of important scenes/lines that were not included or emphasized (I understand that the staff had to cut some parts, but still. Some parts they cut were really important). I didn’t expect the Cornucopia to look that way. It was Prim instead of Madge who gave the mockingjay pin to Katniss. Rue’s death wasn’t really sad. The part where Peeta discovered that Katniss did all of those love thing just for the Games wasn’t emphasized. I also couldn’t remember all the things that could have been improved, sooo.. Basta! HAHAHA :))

Lol. Useless post is useless. Just watch it and yeah! HAHAHAHA.

Bonding with Friends

Ahhh, this has been a rough but very fun day. I’m so happy because we were successful in shooting a video for our World History project, even though our day didn’t actually go as planned.

Our morning was a “hot” morning. The principal found out about our plan of going to the Cagayan River (a parent of a 1st year student complained and bla bla, and nadamay kami), and he wouldn’t let us go there without a teacher’s company. We had some parents with us, but we had no teacher. Our adviser, Sir Al Bal, was there and he talked to us and everything. He couldn’t go with us because he was very busy and he already had his schedule of activities. We wanted to break rules and go to the river (we don’t actually care about getting sanctions), but we also thought of Teacher Jo, our WH teacher. We couldn’t find a teacher, so we decided not to go. We paid the jeepney driver who had been waiting for so long. People were cussing and tensed. I am one of these people. I was very stressed because we already planned a lot for this trip and we had to finish the project ASAP. We were very excited these past few days and we didn’t expect this to happen. 

But then an idea came up, and boom! We were able to shoot our video! I won’t tell how we did it because I’m not really sure if I’m allowed to tell. The plan was very effective and I believe we didn’t break any school rules. We were able to shoot 80% of our video, and we all did a good job. ^_^ The class ate lunch together and that was a first. We went to different places and we didn’t mind getting sunburn.

After our activity, Charie and I went to a mall to buy a box for her gift. I went home around 6pm. I collapsed into my bed immediately because I was so freaking tired. I slept for 2 hours, and I felt good.

This day has been great. Our section had a wonderful bonding and I learned a lot of lessons. My classmates are so awesome. \m/

ADVANCE HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :))

At last, nakapag Internet na rin ako! HAHAHAHAHA! Matagal-tagal din ako nawala sa Tumblr. XD Miss me? Loljk. Hindi ako nakapag Tumblr the past few days kasi walang load yung pocket wifi. Okay lang, dahil nasanay na ako. HAHAHA :)) Andami kong kwento, hindi sila lahat kakasya sa isang post! ><

Anyway, advance Happy New Year! 2012 na mamaya! Woooooooot! >< Aabangan ko ang bagong taon nang puno ng pag-asa. :) Ang saya ko dahil bumalik na ang kuryente ng Balulang, at ibig sabihin, baka malapit na rin bumalik ang Internet connection! :D Woooooo! :))

Thank you Lord, sa lahat ng blessings at challenges na binigay mo this year. Kahit na mapait ang year na ito sa akin, hindi pa rin ako nagsisisi na nabuhay ako sa mundong ito. Thank you thank you thank you! :) You’re the best Lord! I LOVE YOU!

Before the year ends, gusto kong magpasalamat sa lahat ng tao na naging parte ng buhay ko! :)) Pati na rin yung mga naging kaaway ko, salamat din! Dahil sa inyong lahat, naging makulay at exciting ang buhay ko! I LOVE YOU! :))

Excited na ako mamaya! :)) WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :)

Hindi kami magpapaputok mamaya, dahil hindi naman yan ang nakagawian namin. Mamaya ay nasa loob ng bahay lang kami, manonood ng mga fireworks. Ganyan ang New Year ng pamilya ko, SAFE! :) Lol hahahahaha. ^_^

I miss you guys. Ang tagal ko nang hindi nakapag Tumblr, pero okay lang ako. God bless! :)

Pilosopo masyado ang kaibigan mo? Sampalin mo.

HAHAHAHA joke. Pero ganyan ang ginagawa ko kapag namimilosopo ang mga bestfriends ko. LOL. Sinasampal ko sila. As in, yung malakas para masaya. HAHAHA :)) Srsly.

Hindi ako masama. Napagkasunduan lang namin yan nina Charie at Sam B. Laganap na kasi ang pamimilosopo at nakakainis na minsan, kaya nag deal kami na kung sino man ang mamimilosopo, ay sasampalin namin. Meaning, kapag ako ang namilosopo, dalawang sampal ang matatanggap ko, isa kay Sam at isa mula kay Charie. LOL :))))

Effective din ang deal kasi nagiging careful kami sa pamimilosopo. Lol :)) So far, nakadalawang sampal palang ako. Si Charie ay nasampal ko na nang napakaraming beses, at si Sam naman ay dalawang beses pa. :D HAHA :)))

Ang sakit ng mga sampal nila, pramis. HAHAHAHAHA.

RF: I don’t like clingy people.

I don’t like people who always touch my hand, who always approach me to hug me, or people who are so touchy.

Wag niyo sanang masamain ito. Of course I hug people naman everyday. Hina-hug ko everyday ang mga kaibigan ko, pero once in a while lang naman. I am not the kind of person na gustong humawak ng mga katawan ng ibang tao. Hindi lang talaga ako ganyan. Hehe :)

There is this one friend na napaka touchy. I mean, nilalapitan niya ako palagi para lang mag hug. I know there’s nothing wrong with hugging. But imagine this. EVERYTIME NATATAPOS ANG ISANG SUBJECT AT HABANG HINIHINTAY MO ANG NEXT TEACHER, LALAPIT SIYA SAYO AT MAGHA HUG. YES. EVERY SINGLE TIME. And mind you, hindi siya ordinaryong hug. This hug lasts for like 5 minutes! WTF!

Sa totoo lang, naiirita na ako sa classmate kong ito. Hindi ko lang talaga siya kayang prangkahin because this girl’s very sensitive. Tapos may mapait din siyang past, kaya ayoko siyang masaktan. Tinitiis nalang namin ni Charie ang walang hanggang pagyakap niya (kasi kaming dalawa ang matatawag niyang kaibigan sa classroom).

Hindi ko siya bestfriend, friend lang talaga. At kung bestfriend ko man ang magha-hug sa akin nang ganoon katagal, talagang magagalit ako at ipapalayo ko siya. 

Nakakainis lang kasi palagi siyang nagha-hug, at boring na at nakakaumay na. Tapos kapag magha-hug siya, 5 minutes pa. I mean, everytime we hug, sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na “Are we supposed to.. uhmm.. stay like this forever?!” Hahays.

She’s not a bad friend. Yes, mabait naman siya. She’s too clingy lang talaga.

But oh well, ayokong siyang saktan. Maybe hihintayin ko nalang ang right time kung kailan ko siya paprangkahin. Not now, not now. Guess I need to suffer it for the next months.
