All I Want For Christmas is YOU.
Haha that was my LSS song for the day. Nice, eh?
Jeff kept singing that song this morning, it got stuck in my head.

So here's how my day went:

1. Math was, well, math. People became restless upon knowing that only 30 minutes had actually passed by since class started. In fact, it actually felt like an hour or so had passed. Maika and Charles make the "best" seatmates ever. Throw in Kamae, Uana, and Kar and what do we get? Posers *ahem* Charles *ahem* on post-it notes and the "Spice Girls" (Uana, Kamae, Kar, Maika and Me) singing along to all things Spice Girls. ahahaha :P This is proof of what Calculus actually does to you. It makes you go insane and restless and singsongy all over. Hehehe :D I liked Mong's cap today. It was very....Lilo and Stitch-y (Maika!!!) :D

2. Botany Lab was okay, but boring. Nix, Dondee, Nats, and I spent time before lab trying to skim, scan, and scam your neighbor before the test (haha Nix! Papaano ba tayo magscascam kung magkapitbahay naman tayo diba? ahehehe :P). While doing the lab experiment, my labmates and I were copying from each other. People were going around, asking for info and stuff. haha :D It was fun to see the panicked look on people's faces because they were unable to complete the list (parang scavenger hunt naman kasi eh). Oh, and I found out from Nix that the rose is actually a symbolic thing about "love". haha Ngayon ko lang nalaman yun ah. Got hungry because of our lab experiment and immediately passed our papers when we (Nix and me) were done.

3. Nix and I found a new "tambayan" in a place called "Da Vinci's Cave". Our old hangout classroom (SECA124) was occupied by some class, so we settled for the "Cave" instead. It's not so bad, mainit nga lang. The only downside of the "Cave" was that it didn't have any tables and electric fans. hehehe :P Afterwards, some of our Botany classmates saw us and decided to hang out in the "Cave", too.

4. I love Botany Lecture. Dr. Lagunzad rocks! She's my favorite teacher for the second semester. I didn't get bored during the lecture because she had these interesting information and stories. Botany class is love. haha :D I noticed that she likes talking about love issues. haha :P Interesting, most especially for the guys in our class! :P We had a class game that soon followed her discussion. Gab cheated, so he won. Daya! haha

5. I am officially a taekwondo belt-er. In short, I'm the one tying my friends' taekwondo belts. Sabi nga ni Charles while I was tying his belt, "Nakakahiya naman. Yellow belter na ako tapos di pa ako marunong magtali ng belt." haha Charles, it's okay. :P Glad to help you out ;)

6. I was completely lost during Modern Jazz (but then again, weren't we all?). Imagine dancing to "Lady Marmalade" while everyone outside was looking at you. Yes, at you. And that includes your ex-happy crush. haha XD Nightmare. I got conscious because of that and decided not to dance "properly" anymore. Lysch, Hannah, and I made a pact to close the windows next meeting. Ahahaha :P Anyway, I made a new friend today in Modern Jazz. His name is Gary. I think he's from AHS. Hello, Gary! :D

7. Finally scheduled for my ITM Diagnostic test. It's on November 30 from 300pm-430pm at CTC114.


Thoughts of the day:

Sometimes the people we think are all that are not necessarily all that.

Sometimes people are just so mean, they can sometimes be inhumane.

Sometimes you can't help but feel stuck in the middle when your friends have fallen apart into two separate camps.

Somtimes it's hard to be the "Ate" of the block because you can't do much but only offer to listen.

But then again, life's like that. You just have to deal with it even though you know for a fact that your friends are warring against each other and you're simply helpless, caught in the middle.

Maika, Ven, and I went to the very first catechism/cell group/watchamacallit thingie after class. I got to know some members from Tugon, and I was kinda surprised to meet Gosh from Spongecola (He's part of our group thingie, and just like me, he isn't a member of Tugon). Hello, Gosh! haha :P

Happy Tired.
Got home from my mom's party. My parents are really sweet towards one another. Imagine my father throwing a "surprise" birthday bach for my mother, with her friends and family in it. I'm too tired to blog, but I'm happy. The party organized by my father was simply AMAZING.

The Poem I Promised.
Just got home from the AMA Mall set-up thing in the SEC field. Who knew the Ateneo Management Assosciation (AMA) was such a sausagefest?! I was one of the few girls in the team, and the guys were gentleman enough to do all the work (though I insisted that I wanted to help them out). It's official. I am now an expert in setting up a tent. Woo-hoo! :P Ingga and I bonded over food, torches, flames, the rain, flowers, crates, and many more. Ingga, the time I spent with you today was the second to the longest time I've ever solely spent with someone in one whole day in AdMU. Congrats! hahaha :D

And now, here's a poem I made up, inspired by our Lit class:

Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image

What is Poetry?
Poetry is that moment when we meet each other's gaze
Poetry is that feeling when passions ignite and blaze
Poetry is baring my very own soul to you
Poetry is what comforts us whenever we feel so blue
Poetry is always seen in the way you look at me
Poetry is that movement when we dance so gracefully
Poetry is when we need not speak to understand
Poetry is all around us, be it sea, sky or land
Poetry is taking the plunge into the depths of your soul
Poetry is simply everything that makes me feel so whole
Poetry is when you can plainly be yourself to me
Poetry is all about being true to your identity
Poetry is found in life, and life in poetry
Life is good through the ups and downs as long as you're here with me!

Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image Go to fullsize image
It sucks haha Ang labo ng ending :D But at least it's a whole lot better than the drowsing thingie of the bees in Lit class :P

Insert your title here. I don't wanna think.
For the past few days I've been really busy with schoolwork that I haven't exactly found the time to blog about how my week went. When I'm not busy, I'm tired or too lazy to blog. I guess Calculus must have been draining my brain too much. I love school, but math is killing me. Actually, Calculus isn't that difficult. It's just that I feel like my brain's turning to mush with overloaded information. Howell. Gotta cope with that.

Because my brain's all mushed up, most probably what I am about to blog would either not make any sense or would lack coherence. Please bear with me as I try to write a decent entry.

Lit class was "fun". Poems about bees and drowsing and nobody and all that stuff courtesy of, according to James, "old school" equipment in the MMR.

I almost fell asleep in Calculus class.

Uana, KatD, Kei, and I checked out the Blue Eagle Christmas Bazaar thingie in the Cervini/Eliazo field. Guess who we bumped into? SIR ARIS!!! I miss him so much. haha :P Sir, do you miss your palangke? XD

I am 1/3 of the Botany class beadles. While doing the seatplan, I discovered that there's exactly a one-to-one ration between males and females in our class. Asteeg.

I wanna watch HP4.

AMA Mall set-up tomorrow at the SEC Field from 7:30am to 12nn. See you guys there! Ingga, let me know when you arrive ah. I'll be in school around 7am...

To make up for this nonsense entry, I'll post a poem tomorrow. :D


***

Apparently, Coldplay's "The Scientist" is my song of the day. That song keeps on haunting me. People kept singing that song, making me get LSS-ed, and when I sat down for Math class, I noticed that someone had written the lyrics on my table. Weird. It's like someone's trying to tell me something by subconsciously making the song pop up everywhere I go--or maybe yet it's just plain and pure coincidence. Dunno.

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions

Oh lets go back to the start

Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Pure Nerd
60 % Nerd, 34% Geek, 34% Dork
For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!


THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 72% on nerdiness

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?

"Life doesn't come out the way we pictured it...
  But sometimes we don't see that it turned out more beautifully"

Nainspire ako sa quote na iyan. I nicked it off a crazy dude's blog. Kaya ako nababaliw dito eh. Not to mention I've got Britney Spears' songs stuck in my head...

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 ;)
