Dance, dance, dance!!!
I had a blast in our Modern Jazz class earlier today. I love dancing. I really do. Ma'am was kinda happy with the way I did the stretching exercises because while the rest of my PE classmates were struggling with their stretches, I did mine with minimal difficulty. I have to thank one whole semester of Taekwondo for that. Lysch was kinda surprised that I could STRETCH. haha :D Lysch, Hannah, paano na ba iyan? Let me know if you guys absorbed the dance steps ah. I'm sorta lost, but if I don't think of the steps and do it mechanically/naturally/whatever, nagagawa ko naman. Weird.

At first I was kinda shy with all the people outside watching us dance (que horror! MAC, my ex-happy crush was there watching me dance! :o), but then I soon got tired of feeling conscious all over and decided, "what the heck, I'll just dance like no one is watching." And that's when I became more confident of myself and did not care if the people outside were watching. I didn't know who they were so I didn't care. hahaha :P

Botany Lecture was F-U-N! I'm beginning to like Botany. I like my teacher--she has this really cool way of catching our interest and keeping the class alive. I'm also beginning to get used to a NatSci without the rest of my loveable ES classmates. Howell. Kev! Next-door neighbors pa naman tayo eh. hehe :D Chua and her blockies sat-in in our Botany class. Hangkyut. They mistook Nix for Cardona's bro. haha :D Nix, sikat ka na! Whehehe ^^



***

Oh, and yeah. Yesterday, Jeff and I went on an adventure in search for our Calc book. We went malling, commuting, etc. , but with no luck we couldn't find what we were looking for. Howell. Next time ulit, little bro! :)

I'm just too lazy to blog.

P.S. I just realized that my blog has had 14,000 ++ visitors so far. Wow.

Sadness.
Tuesdays are supposed to be good days.
So why am I not happy? :(
I know there's no reason to feel sad.
So why do I feel sad?

I miss my ES class.
I miss Sir Claveria.
I miss my taekwondo class.

Boo.

Miss Introvert speaks up.
We had our very first formal Calculus class today. It was okay...I sort of understood the lesson--I think. God Bless me in my Calculus class! ^^ I'm not good in Math--it's my weakest subject. I guess I have to study harder this time if I want to get a really good grade.

I got to know my Botany classmates. Found out that there were a number of ICAns in the class and that Dondi and Bhelly were to be my classmates. Wellow! :D Lab was fun. My stomach and cheeks hurt from all the laughing. Nix, Roniel, Quino, Rick, and Gino were quite funny, especially the one about the "marijuana" joke for Botany class. Exagge ang daming S2!!! Nats and I felt so out of place in that lab table with all the S2's in there. Ma'am arranged us alphabetically. Lucky for me, the ones who ended up in my lab table were Nix, Raffy, Yayish, Dom, and Gab. Gab, I hate you so much I wanna wring your neck. haha :P

I went through Botany class with mixed feelings. The teacher was pretty cool, but I wasn't really in a good mood during the class. For one thing, my Natsci felt like the first day of OrSem. I felt like I had a sinking pit in my stomach, and that feeling just sucked. I did know some people in the class (former schoolmates, ES classmates, friends of friends, etc) but they do have their own circle of friends already in the class (blockmates, barkada, etc). Being the introvert that I am, I sorta "hid" in my shell. It's really difficult for me to connect with someone. Really, it is (though people find that hard to believe). Swerte mo kung "ka-vibes" kita...haha jk! :D Because of that fact, I find it hard for me to mingle with a new crowd. Honestly, it's slowly killing me. I guess it's time to take the plunge and make new friends. I miss my ES class....Too bad kaming dalawa lang ni Nats magkasama from R3 (Kamae's hanging out with her barkada). I should've taken Physics--majority of the block's in there! I kinda envy S2 in Botany class--ang dami nila eh! Tuloy, naiilang ako kahit meron naman akong kilala... :( Howell. I thank Nix, Raffy, Dondi, Patty, and Bhelly for at least making me feel at ease during our Botany class. It really sucks being an introvert. Oh, and we have this groupwork project at the end of the sem. With everyone in their social circles (blockmates, barkadas, etc.), sino kaya magiging groupmates namin ni Nats? Sadness. Parang loners and misfits tuloy kami... Boo.


***
Si Hubby stalker ko. Buong araw ko na siyang nakakasalubong eh. Miss na niya kasi ako--hindi ko na siya ka-math eh. whehehe jk! XD

Andy and Jeff watched me during my PE class. Actually, okay lang ako kay Jeff kasi nung first sem pinanood ko naman siya kaya patas lang (though sa kanya he invited me but in my case, I didn't haha :P). But for Andy? Well, his is a different story. I don't want Andy watching me dance!!! :o Nakakahiya! hahaha :D

Bonded with Hannah, my ICA grade school friend, right after PE. We stayed in this bench near SOM Walk/Lover's Lane (haha FYI, hindi po kami tibo).  It's been a long time since we last talked. We reminisced on ICA memories and stuff. Grabe, Hannah, I miss chatting with you. Let's bond again next Thursday! :D


To a Friend
I ask but one thing of you, only one,
That always you will be my dream of you;
That never shall I wake to find untrue
All this I have believed and rested on,
Forever vanished, like a vision gone
Out into the night. Alas, how few
There are who strike in us a chord we knew
Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
The world is full of rude awakenings
And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
Yet still our human longing vainly clings
To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
Amy Lowell (1874 - 1925)

The first day was kinda fun.
I'm too lazy to blog on how my day went.
I'll edit this next time.
When I'm not laughing like hell.
Who knew laughter could be so contagious and could make you too lazy to blog?

On the last day of freedom...
...I went shopping. I couldn't help myself. It was too good an opportunity to pass. I went Christmas shopping--again. My list is getting longer and longer and my wallet is getting thinner and thinner. haha ^u^

So I guess this is it. Goodbye to a bum's life, hello to a nerdy lifestyle. I was really ticked off with my qpi for the first sem. I kept thinking to myself, "If I studied in DLSU, I would've been a Dean's Lister...", but you know what? I'm happy that I'm in AdMU (despite the fact that I was a few teeny weeny points short of being a DL). If I didn't study here, I wouldn't have met such awesome and lifelong friends, I wouldn't have appreciated my high school education in ICA (thank you cramming sessions and  teachers who loved giving us GIGANTIC loads of homework), and I wouldn't have entered my "dream school".

Second sem's gonna be

...another round of Lulu and Cory nightmares
...a bummer with no Ehmers as classmate
...a fun one with Nix and the rest of my crazy first-sem ES classmates in Botany
...a sad one with the block all split up for Fil class (I miss our palengke)
...a happy one with all but two blockmates in our Calculus class
...a loaded one just by looking at my schedule
...an exciting one with Batangas bonding with Charles and company.
...a blast!

After all, life begins in the second sem ;)

Happy Happy Happy Birthday!
It's my mom's 50th birthday today!
Happy, happy, happy birthday, mother dearest!
Luv yah! *mwah!*

Unfortunately, she's in China today and will be gone for the rest of the week (next week), so we're gonna hold her 50th birthday bash at the Crowne Plaza when she comes home.

I don't get it. I just don't. What is it with guys and friendster testimonials? 3 or 4 of my guy buddies YM-ed me, asking me to make them testimonials and promising that they'd make me one, too after I make them one (careerin ko daw). And after I "career-ed" my testimonials for them, they say "Thanks" and never bother making me one back. Okay. And then I ask them for their testis for me and then they say that they'll make it later on, but they never do. What's up with that? It's kinda funny to notice a certain trend with these guys...it's like they come from the same mold even though they're from different origins. haha :P I don't really know whether to feel annoyed or amused. I guess guys will be guys, and they're all from the same mold--with a few exceptions, of course. ^^

You are a HUFFLEPUFF! As a Hufflepuff and as an NFJ, you are loyal, idealistic, and responsible. You place a very high value on authenticity and integrity in people and relationships and have a natural
ability to understand and connect with people. Not only are you excellent at resolving conflicts and helping people work together more effectively, you also have the ability to help people feel good about themselves definitely a talent worth having!

Weee...I'm from Hufflepuff. Apparently, only 5% of the total test takers had this result. Izzat good?
I guess my NatSci suits me just fine. haha :D Professor Sprout teaches Botany... :P Ang labo ko...

Someone I'll Never Forget...
Mrs. Dayao was my Third Year History teacher. I remember her for her frankness and strong principles in life. She taught me so much about life and about sticking to my own principles even though people would try to bring me down. I guess I could relate to her ideals because in a sense, just like her, I'm sort of idealistic...all pent up on trying to find ways to make the world a better place.

Last night, she posted a message in the Friendster bulletin board. Here's what she said:

"I read the testimonials sent to me by my students from ICA and it dawned on me that i never got to
say thank you to most if not all of you. It is now that i take the chance to say thank you. I want you to know that in my hour of need and during moments of sadness and confusion, your testimonials do wonders to my soul. It revives my spirit and helps me to continuously believe in the innate  goodness of man. I know that most of you are grown ups now or more mature than when i first met you. But you will always remind me of how carefree the youth can be. Hold on to your childlike qualities. When i was young i wanted to grow old sooner only to find myself happiest when i was at your age. So please enjoy your youth. Celebrate life each day at a time. Do not force yourself to grow old too soon and too fast. You cannot bring back time so live each day to the fullest. Aspire for greatness and find the motivation you need to find who you are. Dont let anyone tell you who you have to be...find out for yourself. Let true friends influence you but always think for yourself. You dont have to be perfect now, youll get there...discover who you are and then be the best you want to be. It seems cliche to say all these, especially since i was your teacher, but for most of you who know me i guess you can remember how i say things i truly believe in. I trusted you when you were in my class...so how can you not trust yourself. Make the step...its time."



Words of wisdom from a very great teacher.
Mrs. Dayao, I will never forget you.

A Post Too Late. A Dance Away.
Yesterday, I made a new friend. Hello Esgue! :D He's from BS Mgt and is Uana's friend from Ateneo High. We bonded in the SEC Walk area whilst waiting for our random numbers to be called and our friends to arrive. He's a funny guy. I actually noticed that we shared a lot of things in common--like the fact that Lulu was also his teacher in Merit English and that we were both shoe-less for about 30 minutes (Esgue, I like your lady sandals. hehehe) because our English blockmates borrowed our shoes since they couldn't register if they didn't follow the SOM dress code. haha^^ See you around, Esgue! It was nice chatting with you!

Blockmates, here is my final schedule for the second sem. Please check it out instead of constantly asking me what my schedule is. Thanks. :D

M-W-F
0830-0930: Filipino (sadness...our block's split up into FOUR sections) - CTC204
0930-1030: "Merit" English (Ingga, good luck sa atin sa expository writing) - B305
1030-1130: Poetry Literature (Yay!) - B305
1330-1430: Calculus (At least our block's almost complete--almost. :c) - SECA204A

T-Th
0730-0900: Calculus (6 units. I can do this.) - CTC305
0930-1130: Botany Lab (Ah, yes. Plants and drawing. No lab reports like ES!!!) - SECB105A (T only)
1200-1330: Botany Lec (It's like ES all over again) - SECA116A
1400-1500: Modern Jazz (Gotta learn so I can teach Gab ^^) - Dance Area

Yes, I'll be dancing my way through PE. Apparently, the slots for PE101 Q were already filled up when I registered. I think the Big Guy up there doesn't want me to take PE101 for the second sem. Ralf told me that Running was gonna be sort of a hassle, so I settled for Modern Jazz instead. Anyone wanna take PE101 with me during the summer? :-\

P.S. I just realized that MM's the only one in my block whom I don't have a class with. Boo.

***

I got Botany for my NatSci. I told you that I would. It sounds like I'm gonna attend Professor Sprout's class just like in Harry Potter. haha ^^ Can't wait to watch that film (HP4)

In the caf at 12nn
Me to blockmates: Meron ba sa inyo nagbotany?
(Blockmates look at each other)
Blockmates: No...I got Physics. I got Chem. I got ES. ES. Physics. ES. Chem.
Me: Do you guys know anyone who took up Botany????
Blockmates: Er..no.

After that I was like, "YAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN MY BLOCK TAKING UP BOTANY!!!
I was kinda sad since I wasn't going to be with my blockmates and that I would be a loner on the first day of NatSci (I'm an introvert. I don't easily mingle with people so I don't make new friends easily), but then Patty Mangahas texted me, telling me that she and Ces got Botany. Yayish passed by the caf and told me that she got Botany. Raffy and Candice passed by SEC and told me they were also taking up Botany. Nix told me he was taking up Botany. Thank goodness for ES classmates! haha ^^ Later on that day, Charles texted me and told me that Nats took Botany. Kamae texted me to tell me that she also got Botany.

At the end of the day, I was happy. I wasn't going to be the only one in my block taking Botany (hello Nats and Kamae!), and my ES buddies (Hello Nix, Candice, Raffy, Patty, Yayish, Ces) were going to be my classmates, too! Yay! Yay! Yay! Hope our Botany class would turn out to be fun :D

I dunno whether I should feel happy or sad...
Weee...SPURS won against the Bulls 104-95 OT.
Uana asked me to join her in PE 101 (guys, section Q T-Th 2-3pm). I'm still thinking whether I should take it cos for sure we'll be given a lot of reading material for English and Lit class...
Maika invited me to take running.
PE 107 R RUNNING 2 1500 1600 T-TH COV COURTS DE LA CRUZ, LEMMUEL DOMINGO S.
What'll I choose?

***

Registration's tomorrow and I still don't know which NatSci to take.

Physics: Macabebe's the teacher. She's no Kendra but her class is A-able. Physics is the easiest next to ES so I'm guessing this'll be filled up quickly.
Chemistry: Urgh. Too many chemical formulas, compounds, etc to memorize. Not too sure with the teacher either.
Botany: It's the closest thing to ES, which is good--I think.
Zoology: Killer workload, reading material and horrid lab (those poor animals...). Yech.

Therefore, it's a toss between Physics and Botany. But looking at my random number, I'm guessing that I'll be settling for Botany instead. *sigh* I hope my classmates turn out to be okay...so far I don't know anyone who's taking up Botany for the second sem... =(

Anyone care to join me in Botany? :((

Cheers to the fruits of your labor.
Received our grades today. My grades were a LOT higher than my advisory marks, and I was overjoyed to find out that my Math grade was a LOT higher than the F i got as an advisory grade for Math during the first sem.

Thank you Lord...
Thank you Queena Lee-Chua...
Thank you Nix...
Thank you Moco...

Thank you guys for bearing with my "stupid-ness/slow-ness" in Math. Thank you for your patience, your time, your effort...thank you for everything. :D You guys RAWK! Luv yah all! >:D<

***

Looking at my schedule for the second sem, I realized that I have to take my studies more seriously for the succeeding sems. That would mean less hanging out in the caf and complabs and more time in the library. After all, the Rizal Library IS supposed to be every Atenean's best friend. Gah. And we have Calculus every day. My schedule sure is a loaded one...

(I had typed a longer post but then I lost it after getting disconnected from the server. rar. And now I'm too lazy to blog...)
