TODAY I FEEL: sick...argh
EAR CANDY: Noypi sung by Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Jay-R and Jasmine Trias in her concert!
...but I also have a new song that attacked me with the LSS again: My Boo by Alicia keys and Usher!!! I simply adore them...the two of them looks like they're an item, don't you think? I LOVE MY BOO...(who is it, anyway?!)
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "Starstruck-by-Christian-and-Jasmine" Syndrome

JASMINE. Yes guys, I watched Jasmine Trias' concert at the Araneta yesterday and boy is it fantastic!!! She was so bee-yoo-tiful...I totally liked her more! We watched at the Lower Box and even had American seatmates. You can see very well that the crowd was kinda "sosyal" because everyone else was like, "OMG" and "When is it ever gonna start?"...haha. The show was supposed to start at 7:30 but knowing us Filipinos, the show started at around 8:15. I already memorized her Bench commercial (the one with "this is a buleklek and it's bengo...") with Jasmine trying to perfect her Tagalog while waiting! Her first guest was Jay-R and the Prince of R&B sung Yeah, Bakit Pa Ba and design for love. Then came THE LOVE OF MY LIFE: CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA!!! Oh my gosh he looks so much cuter in person! Good thing I brought my binoculars that's why I was just looking at him all the time. He sung The Way You Look At Me and Hands To Heaven. Then the last guest was Erik Santos who sung This is the Moment (More like "this is the mOHOment" to me) and some other OPM songs...then they all sung "Noypi" together. It was the best! They were also "courting" Jasmine all through out and Christian was the cutest! He said, "The sands in Boracay are not enough to tell you how much I love you..." So kilig!!! But Erik was so papansin...he kept speaking in Tagalog! (Sorry to Erik fans!) She even played the piano and sung "If I Ain't Got You"!!! Alicia Keys and Jasmine in one! Whoa. Her encore (or the last song) was Inseparable...and she wore a very pretty white gown. She's so sexy in that dress. Now I'm into the flower-in-your-ear craze!

THE FUN PART. After the show, we waited at the South Gate to, you know, get some autographs. We waited for a loooong time. When the gates opened and a car was coming out, I heard the people shout "Si Christian! Si Christian!" and it was HIM!!!!!!! AND HE WAVED AT ME!!! THE CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA WAVED AT ME AND LOOKED AT ME IN THE EYE!!! Oh my gosh!!! It was simply the best night ever...he looked so hot! And after that I was like "Si Christian, kinawayan ako! Kinawayan ako ni Christian!" AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! What can you say?! I felt like there was really magic in our eye contact! (Waaahh, dream on girl!) After a few minutes Jasmine's car also came out but I only saw her shadow waving. Haaaayy. CHRISTIAN REALLY WAVED AT ME. It was simply the night of my dreams...

SICK. Yes, I'm sick with colds because the Araneta Coliseum was frezzing cold and I was wearing racerback! Now I'm feverish and having cough as well. I can't miss school tomorrow since I'll be competing in St. Paul QC for the Soc Sci quiz bee. Oooohhh. Wish us luck (I'll be with Ate Gloria and Ate Marianne) Pray for me, alright?

BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN: 9 days to go! BTW, Happy Birthday to Kuya lorenz (today) and Christian Bautista :) on Tuesday...Octoberians!

Luv to all...mwah!

save the last dance...

TODAY I FEEL: El bimbo-ey!
EAR CANDY: I'm having an LSS on "Ang Huling El Bimbo"!!! Since yesterday pa to...I'm listening to it right now, I downloaded the MP3 on the 'Net...I can't help it!!!
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: Obviously, the "LSS" or the "Last-Song" syndrome. What is this? Well it's when the last song you sang or heard got stuck on your head and it's making you crazy!!! They say there is no real cure for the LSS because because if you try to stop your mind from playing the song, it'll just 'play' more. But if you constantly sing it naman, it will haunt you more! You just have to let it be...sing if you feel like singing it but stop if you don't. It's a very gradual process (hehe. Take it from the expert. *wink*) New term to use for your everyday life. Has this syndrome attacked you already? Tell me!
BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN: 13 more days!!! Ooooohh!!! (new layout: soon!)

LSS. The title of the blog was obviously because of this very, very, very ear-sticking (okay, it got stuck in my mind, but hey, it passed through my ear first!) tune Ang Huling El Bimbo. I don't know why but suddenly it bit me and now I have to hear it every single moment. Nope guys, I'm not exaggerating because this one's real! I even dreamt about it...oh man. This is -- weird. I mean, the song El Bimbo is actually one of my faves and I can practically go through the whole day just by listening to it...but it's not always cool to listen to it even when you don't feel like doing so, right? My mind is really going through this weird stage. All of a sudden, I feel like I've changed. I don't know, why, where, what or how but...I can just feel it. Oh well, maybe it's really just part of the LSS. I think this is the worst LSS I ever had. But the song definitely rocks!!!

BIRTHDAY!!! My birthday is coming up!!! I'm so excited...13 na ko! Woohoo! Finally...hehe. What gifts am I going to get kaya? Hmm...well just the thought of people greeting me sounds like a good gift to me...it's the thought that counts right? But still...what could be behind those neatly-wrapped boxes? Now I'm also getting the "Almost-Birthday" syndrome! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Trivia: Did you know that I was supposed to be born on November 1? Good thing my mom ate A LOT of food on the 25th of October which she said, became the reason why her tummy hurt and of course, my coming into the world!!! Hehe...I'm feeling that I kinda knew already that's why I forced myself to be born on the 26th, don't you think? Hahaha.

Let me just go through this one more time...

Kamukha mo si Paraluman nung tayo'y bata pa;
at ang galing-galing mong sumayaw, mapa-boogie man o chacha;
ngunit ang paborito ay ang pagsayaw mo ng el bimbo;
nakakaindak, nakaka-aliw, nakakatindig-balahibo;
Pagkagaling sa skwela ay didiretso na sa inyo;
at buong maghapon ay tinuturuan mo ako...
Magkahawak ang ating kamay at walang kamalay-malay
na tinuruan mo ang puso ko na umibig na tunay...

I hope you didn't catch the LSS too. Luv y'all! Mwaaahh!!! ;)

mud queen...

2004-10-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: extremely adventurous!!!

EAR CANDY: rain pouring, the dquishy sound of your feet stepping on mud, the water when you make "tampisaw" with your friends...in other words
NATURE

LAUGH 3P: the word "balajuyjuy"! It means "gamol" or messy...and I must admit, after the trip, we were all balajuyjuys!!!

SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "Gravitational-force-loves-me" Syndrome
Simply the best field trip I have ever been to! It's the bomb!

Okay first things first...

EARLY BIRDS. I was one of the early birds, although we don't exaclty have a prize. Most of the early birds are from St. Ann too. Alexis and I were the first ones from our tropa. We greeted each other (since it is our tropa's 1st monthsary) and just talked with our other classmates. We were
even teasing those who brought only a few things (actually, I was one of them) that they only brought money with them. When more students were piling up, we decided to go inside the campus (since we were only on the 1st gate waiting shed) We dared each other (boys vs. girls) to go to the 2nd floor in our building. Of course, the boys, being boastful and feeling "macho" gave in but when Jerome turned off the lights in the staircase, turns out we were all scaredy-cats! Actually, most of us weren't scared (I count myself in!) but were just shocked by the fact that the lights went out. So, natakot na rin kami. Later on, Ms. Villapando arrived and told us to go back to the waiting shed since we're not allowed in the campus yet.

DEPARTURE. We left at around 5:30 in the morning. We were supposed to leave at 5:00 but then, a couple of students were late so we just had to wait for them (even though the teachers said they won't). Missy arrived (finally!) but she forgot to bring her Fossil bag which was where she placed her other important stuff. She was actually bad trip-ed, but then we cheered her up. The guide introduced herself and coincidentally, her name was Melissa too (Missy's real name is Melissa). She also introduced Kuya Perry and Kuya Joel. On the way she explained the maltreatment of some establishments and leisure parks (I'm not going to mention them as they might sue me or whatever) to animals and to nature. One of them are maltreating dolphins and separating these dolphins from their families that's why they die. It's sad to hear this news, especially because we went to this particular leisure park last year on our 6th grade field trip. Later on, they gave us a chart we need to fill out about the lakes.

FIRST STOPOVER: PETRON STATION. Since most of us didn't have their breakfast yet, we stopped over at the Petron station along South Super Highway. We ate at McDonald's (we miss Domacs!!!). I ate hash brown & fries and drank the ever loyal Milo. I was listening to my iPod (specifically Gangsta Lovin' by Alicia Keys and Eve) in a very loud volume, so I wasn't really aware of the sounds around me. When Nica and Anile decided to go to the restroom, Mikka, Alex, Missy and I was left outside. Then a group of gays from a school also having their field trip, passed by (they were about to go to the guys' restroom). I made a very sarcastic remark (not worth mentioning!) in an UNCONSCIOUSLY LOUD VOICE (since I was listening to my iPod in a loud voice) and they heard me!!! OMG!!! It was so embarrassing...I immediately ran inside the restroom! Then Missy signalled me to run quickly to the bus before they went out. I'm not bad! onestly...whoever those guys (gays, I mean) are, I hope we never meet again, and I'm sorry!!! *sheesh*

LAKES. We first went to the City Hall to get the facts about the lakes. Then we went to Sampaloc lake and got its temperature and pH scale. Then we went to the 2nd lake (I forgot the name!). We walked for a couple of minutes (It took us 400+ steps to go there) in mud, and saw the lake. Beside the lake was a tree with a big root and when I tried to climb the root, I fell butt first! Ouch! We took pictures then went back to the bus. Then we went to the third lake (I also forgot the name)and do you know how hard it is to get there??? It's like you have to completely go down this cliff full of slippery mud...and guess what? I fell! Obviously! It was so slippery...Kuya Perry said some people actually go there just to take a bath or do laundry! OMG! Actually going down that lake was more difficult because there's more chance of falling when you go down. We went back to our bus and had our lunch there. THEN THE FUN PART. The last 2 lakes, Pandin and Yamboc were next! We trekked for a long time (very very very) and it was even raining hard...so hard!!! We did it...and finally reached Pandin. We went rafting!!! Woohoo!!! It was so fun! There are 9 people in each raft and we sailed until we reached the middle of the lake. Then Kuya Bob allowed us to go down the raft. But we must hold on to the sides because we're in the very deep part already. They were even kidding us that there were crocodiles and anacondas there! After rafting, we went to Yamboc which was a FEW HILLS AWAY. But we really can't go down and see it up close because it's unaccessible to man. And because of that, it's the cleanest of all the lakes. On our way back to Pandin, I slid down the slope!!! Actually, I had two options: to go down BACKWARDS holding the rope or just slide down. I picked the latter since it's more of an adventure!!! Plus, I'd probably never experience doing that again so, why not?! We washed up at Pandin lake again, cleaned our white-turned-permanently-brown shoes and eewy-yucky-socks and trekked back to our bus. The "washing up" part was kinda useless since we got dirty again when we reached the bus. Now, the challenge: we must change our clothes, underwear and all INSIDE THE BUS!!! We closed all curtains and asked the guys (driver, Kuya Perry and Kuya Joel) to obviously, go out and boy is it fun!!! It's not very easy to remove your clothes and go half-naked...it's kinda ok because we're all girls but STILL there is a 95% chance that you'll be seen naked...haha! Fortunately, we all did it successfully and after that, we were all fresh again (although I wouldn't call it 100% fresh because we didn't take a bath and we only used alcohol to "clean" our bods. Fun? You decide.)

OFFICIALLY WASTED. On our way home, we passed by Collette's first for pasalubong. Even though we changed already, we looked really wasted. But still, our smiles totally camouflaged it all. We were still fooling and joking around. After the pasalubong stop, it was time to go home. I slept for a few minutes while listening to my iPod when I was awakened by sobs. Turns out someone had a big fight with someone (i'm not gonna mention) so I was forced to move to the chair in the middle of two rows (you know what i'm talking about?). And since I was freezing cold I decided to extend my feet to the middle chair in front of me and sleep looking like a dead body. I wasn't able to sleep alright, but I was able to rest at least for some minutes. But I'm still freezing cold!!! My nails are turning gray! Kuya Joel decided to crack jokes when we were almost there, and everyone else was awake. We peacefully reached "Tipol" (that's what we call St. Paul) and hooray! WE SURVIVED.

ultra long blog, noh? i hope you can comment after reading this novel...hehe!!! This is what happens when I have so much fun! btw, thanks to gliza, jam and shari for commenting. I missed you guys too!!! Luv y'all! *mwaaaah* :)

life is sugar and spice, with a little pepper

TODAY I FEEL: glad that the perio is over!!!
EAR CANDY: "Fallin'" and "Gangsta Lovin" by Alicia Keys (the latter one was with Eve)
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "Field-trip-tomorrow-excitement" Syndrome
BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN: 19 days to go!!!

You probably missed me. I missed you too!!! Well after the long wait...the periodic exams are finally over! And look...the commenting system is back in shape! And goodie, the guestbook's fine too. So I guess, everything's quite alright now, isn't it? And I'm glad it is. Today was the official day I finally got to fix my messed up blog so, it's a HUGE RELIEF that it's okay now. But anyway, I'll be working on a new layout soon (if ever you think this one's getting old). Hehe.

PERIO. It was all good. Actually, I think I'm going to pass them, especially the tests on the last day since I was able to review them easily. The Integ test, was miraculously, very short -- only 2 sheets! Still, it was quite hard. THE is really weird...I wasn't able to review that quite well because one, I don't know WHAT to study (our teacher is so magulo) and I can't understand a thing about it. Good thing I was able to answer most of the questions. The Algeb test was my favorite! It was cool! I'm not saying I passed it with flying colors, but I know I did the computations correctly, so I guess that's what giving me the 'good feeling'. The GenChem test was also okay too because I understood the lessons wholeheartedly there. All the other tests were fine too, I just hope the results will be awesome *just kidding*...just enough to make me feel proud. *wink*

FIELD TRIP. Tomorrow!!! Oooohh I'm so excited! We're going to the 7 Lakes in San Pablo, Laguna. We'll leave at around 4:30 am. And it's no ordinary field trip! We had our orientation last week (something we never had before) and told us it's no field trip -- it's an Outbound Education trip. They also said that we're going to have a "No Waste" trip that's why we're not allowed to bring foods that are not placed is plastic containers/tupperwares. Sounds like real adventure, right? Wish us luck! I'll update soon.

"Life is sugar and spice, with a little pepper" I bumped into this quote somewhere (in a magazine) and I definitely agree with it. Life is so beautiful, we're given things we want when we need them. Yeah, there are downs in life (which serves as the "pepper") but let's admit it, life is not so fun if we don't have things to spice things up, right? If we don't encounter problems, we wouldn't learn how to face them, and we'll never learn anything new. *Okay, now I sound nerdy* BTW, last Monday, me, Missy & Nica saw a rainbow just above the St. Andrew belltower. It was on an orange sky. Isn't it sweet? Life really is beautiful.

Sign my gbook on ur way out okay? Tell me what you think. And thanks to my commentors! (You can find them on my sidebar...scroll down please!) Luv yah! *mwaaahh*

roses are pink

2004-09-30T18:35:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: sleepy...very sleepy
EAR CANDY: "Claudine" by Maksim...oh man this pianist is waaaayy good. I love him.
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "I-feel-sleepy-every-moment" Syndrome

SLEEPYHEAD. I don't know what's up with me but one thing for sure: I'm always sleepy. I don't know why. All of a sudden, I felt that I always lack hours of sleep, when in fact, I don't. It all started last Saturday, I slept in the afternoon (siesta) then woke up before 6:00 because I watched the play. Then came Sunday, I slept at around 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. I slept again in the afternoon. And this Monday, Tuesday and yesterday (Wednesday) I slept right after I got home from school and woke up at around 7:00 pm. What's happening to me? I'm not like this before. Definitely not. My mom says maybe I'm just too tired. But no, I don't think so.

FREE DAY. Yesterday was Sr. Angele's birthday and she declared a FREE DAY!!! Woohoo! Talk about cool. We had our last free day with Sr. Mila 2 years ago, so I guess the thrill's back. We had our mass and program in the gym. The crowd was wild! The boys serenaded Sr. Angele with "Harana" and gave her flowers. How sweet! She felt so young again. Imagine having 16 young suitors. Then the teachers danced. The high school teachers danced "Shut Up" as in the same steps we used for the dances last year!!! And Mrs. Fragante was SO CUTE!!! She looked like a doll there! Even Mrs. Magtangob!!! I love them! Of course, Mrs. Haresco rocked the house because she was the Pas De Tous moderator so, she really dances well. The other teachers danced "Rock, Baby, Rock" and Mrs. Encina was so graceful! Then the whole high school faculty sung "When You Say Nothing At All" and Mrs. Ranollo played the guitar!!! She's so pretty. I guess the married teachers proved that they still rule! The other presentations were:

Interpretative Dance - 4th Year
Sabayang Pagbigkas - 3rd Year
Poem and gift giving - 2nd Year
"Totoy Bibbo" dance - auxilliary and canteen personnel
Song number - Grade school
another song number - grade 1
poem recitation - kinder

Thank God for Sr. Angele! Free day is definitely what we needed! Of course, we played Fetus again, and I slept. (Gosh, the Sleepyhead syndrome is really freaky)

B.o.t.B. Battle of the Bands. It wasn't as exciting as last year because: 1.) It started so early. 2.) Not much of school spirit. 3.) We lost. 4.) They only announced the Champions. Of course the Seniors won, and I definitely have nothing against that. I loved the Seniors' number. Only thing is, we don't know what are place is. Probably last. But anyway, Jeanne's voice was good. I really like her voice. Only prob is, her voice is louder than the instruments. *sighs* CONGRATS 4th YEAR!

SWIMMING. Swimming, again! We played! We jumped and pushed each other! So far the best swimming class we had!!! It was so cool! I was pushed 6 times in the pool! One game we played was holding hands then jumping altogether. The other one was "Merry Go Round" It was the bomb!

PIANO PLAYER. Yup, I've been listening to Maksim in my iPod. He's such an amazing player. I wish I could play just like him. And Alicia Keys! Oh man. I'm more of a piano person because, well, I play the piano so I appreciate it the most. I can play Fur Elise (hehe). I dreamt the other night that I had a piano concert & I was able to play all of Maksim's and Alicia's pieces. *sighs* I love music. I want people who can play any kind of instrument. They're one of the top "criteria". So, do you know how to play? Share mo naman.

ROSES ARE PINK. Yup. new layout. Unfortunately, it's not so good YET. I only made this like, mabilisan because, you see perio is next week already. The comment link won't show up so, please just sign my guestbook first found in the sidebar, and tell me what you think. Sorry if my layout is not okay. But anyway, if you want to give suggestions, I'd love to hear from you. Maybe I'll try applying for a new host. :) That's gonna be my bday gift to myself.

G2G guys! Birthday alert: 26 days to go! I guess you've guessed my birthday by now. Luv y'all! Mwah... ;)

colour everywhere...

2004-09-24T22:42:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: rainbow-y...!!!
EAR CANDY: "Colour Everywhere" by Christian Bautista...I'm so crazy about it!!! It's Song Of My Life #3!!!! Simply the best song...I love it!!!!
LAUGH 3P: the "Feng Shui Line" game. you will think of a line in Feng Shui and they have to guess who said it. Totally for Feng Shui fans! (That's us) Invented by: Me, Nica and Missy.
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "There's-colour-everywhere" Syndrome. It's weird...it seems like everything is so colorful today!

You put the blue back in the sky
you put the rainbow in my eyes
a silver lining in my prayers
and now there's colour everywhere

You put the red back in the rules
just when I needed it the most
you came along and showed you care
and now there's colour everywhere

Oh my gosh. New song. New craze. It's so kee-yut. I feel like singing it over and over and over and over again. Because of something that happened yesterday [(?) Secret!!!] it's now officially my feel-good song. Just this morning, the commercial of the show "Irene" aired and it played this song. Then all of a sudden, it got stuck on my mind, and perfectly suits the moment yesterday (and today), so I guess everything fell into the right pieces. Luckily, I discovered that we have a MP3 disc of Christian's album and obviously, I listened to it a gazillion times!!! Then my dad will transfer it to my iPod!!! *yihee* I'm so excited!!! This song is a lucky charm to me...oh, I never thought that someone (or something) can put the blue back in the sky and put color in my life. Hehe. Senti.

FENG SHUI. Super late update but anyway, I watched it with my grandfather last Sunday!!!! We watched at Festival and super bonding!!! I totally loved the story!!! It's really scary! Lotus Feet freaked me out. There are a lot of "nakakagulat" scenes and the story is really good. If you will compare it to other Asian flicks, I swear it's much better! Not because I'm biased or what, but the story is really simple but there's a twist in the end. And you really have to think because the plot is quite cool...so, it's not just a watch-and-go film. I rate it: 4 and 3/4 stars!!! (The 1/4 was because the ending was "bitin"!) Go see it, I highly recommend it (watch it with you brave grandpa and it's cooler!)

CENTENNIAL CELEB. Yup, 100 years ago, the St. Paul sisters arrived in the shores of the Philippines (particularly in Dumaguete). This weekend we're going to host the first performance of the play "Women With A Heart". Paulinians all over Metro Manila are participants. The play was directed by Fr. James Reuter and I'm so excited!!! I have work to do though (since I belong to the SC) because I'm a backstage prompter so I'm going to watch tomorrow instead of watching on Sunday (my duty is on Sunday). The ambience was really theatrical, I mean, it's so real. Not just a plain, old program. It really is a show. I remember the opening of the Centennial celeb last year, me and my Mom danced in the Mother-Daughter waltz (I believe I've mentioned this before). Nica, Pauline, Cathe, Hope, Trixie, Kristine and Lourdes were my "dancemates". Hehe. Anyway, I look forward to this already because of work, friends and the Paulinian spirit!!! ;)

BITIN? Sorry if this blog is bitin or delayed. My sched is hectic again, that's why I have no time for blogging. Sorry for that. Anyway, my link is in my sidebar, if you want to link exchange, just upload to your own server. BUT PLEASE DO NOT DIRECT LINK!!! I beg you, please don't! My blog is too crowded for you to use up more space. Please link back to http://karlatotz.blogspot.com/ And if ever you do link me, please comment so that I can be able to link you back. Fair enough?

Perio is just around the corner so I better review. plus projects galore, so i really have to go!!! Luv yah guys! mwaaaaaahh!!!!!! ;)

confessions of a not-your-ordinary-girl

2004-09-18T10:38:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: alright!
EAR CANDY: "Confessions" by Usher and "Not Your Ordinary Girl" by Kyla...ooh these two people totally rock the music scene! I love 'em. They don't just sing, they sing their hearts out, which makes their song even more beautiful, right?
CRAVING FOR: Butter popcorn with salt!!! *yumyumyum*
THE CATWALK: Racerback shirt again! Plus my favorite khaki pants. (FYI, I love khaki pants! I only have one pair of jeans. hehe
LAUGH 3P: the words "critization" (aka criticism) and "battlecander". More about this words later.
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "My-blog-is-better-and-cooler-now" Syndrome.

I'M BACK. Yeah, after how many days, the girl is back with a new and improved blog. Yup. I was finally able to put up the codes of the fanlistings I've joined, plus I've given my sidebar a new look.

Songs Of My Senti-Life - the songs that sounds like they were written for me. Haha!
.: for the soul :. - just some thoughts and quotes that sounds good when you feel loved or sad or whatever.

I'm still planning on adding some more stuff but for now, that's just it. I hope you guys enjoy it. Credits to MSFrontPage and Notepad for that. Hehe. :)

URBAN GIRL. I totally feel urban-y today, as I'm writing this down. We're going to Batangas because my lola who just came from the States celebrated her birthday last Thursday. So I have to get my pasalubongs and some other stuff. I totally missed her, my grandpa and my Tita! They kept on sending me postcards to the places they've been and I think I already have 10+. Cool. And I'M NOW GOING TO HAVE AN iPOD!!! Oh my G!!! It's the coolest thing! I have new bags, shirts, shoes, CDs...oh man it rocks!!! Although, I haven't seen them yet, but I just can't wait! *shrieks* I feel like I'm so sosyal today. Haha. New syndrome? Let's see.

SWIMMING. We had our 3rd swimming class last Thursday. We swam the backstroke and learned a new dive (I forgot what it's called). It was even raining then. Me and Anizza were always the first who jumped into the pool. Hehe. I guess I'm really a fish out of water. I love to swim!!! Afterwards, Mrs. Pascual allowed us to play and we really had fun! The Familia To were at it again! We tried to "kill" Chinese (aka Katrina) because she is the "kontrabida" in our family. Haaaaayy. I hope that everyday is a swimming day. *wink*

CONS MATH. Weird as it sounds but I'm currently loving Cons Math!!! Our lesson is about computing electric and water bills. I sooooo love it! I mean, yeah, it sounds really "oti" but I like the way I can compute our bills and check out if we were cheated. The computation is reaaaaallllyyyy long (trust me when I say that) but it feels nice when you look at that orange and green paper and know what all those numbers mean. You have to compute the Basic Charge based on the consumption per cu. m., then you get the FCDA, the CEDA, the EC, the MsC and the VAT (Told ya it was long). You add them all together and you have your monthly bill!

FENG SHUI. Oh I feel so sad I wasn't able to watch with the Familia To today!!! it's because we have to go to Batangas, so yun. They called me (we just hung up) when they arrived at SM Sucat and they sound like they're havin' fun already! *aaaawwww* *sniff, sniff* I really want to watch! Anyway, my mom said we'll watch also as a family, so that's ok, at least I can catch up with the stories by Monday. But still -- awwwww.

DICTIONARY PLEASE. People are fooling around with words these days. During our Soc Sci, Mikka's group was the Critic Group so they have to criticize every report of the other groups. When it was our group's turn to be criticized, she said that she wouldn't give much "critizations" about our group because we were okay. Hahahaha. Then during lunch, we were talking about the Battle of the Bands (another inter-level competition) and suddenly Nica asked something about the "battlecander"!!! Hahaha. What "battlecander"?! Dictionary please.

PERIO. Yup. Perio is just around the corner -- again. October 5, 6 & 7. It's so fast!!! It's like September just passed by. Ang bilis mag-September, noh? But August felt like forever. Anyway, fast September means sooner October which means Birthday alert!!! Oooohh my birthday is coming up!!! I can't wait! Wish me luck on our periodic tests okay? And BTW, I might not blog very often again because I have to review.

That was a long blog. I mean, lots of topics. Well it's better than staying constant with one topic, right? Hehe. Have to go now. Love lots. By the way, comment on my new look okay? I mean, about the new contents. I'd love to hear from you! :) *mwaaaaaaahh*

breakaway

2004-09-14T20:01:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: like a bomb that is about to explode because of too much assignments
EAR CANDY: Breakway by Kelly Clarkson! This one is Song of My Life #2! I totally love it...(FYI: It's the OST of Princess Diaries 2. Another trivia, it was written by Avril Lavigne *cool*)
CRAVING FOR: Spanish bread! *yumyum*
LAUGH 3P: still Fetus! And "All Side"...with the matching consequences! *hahaha*
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "I'm-drowned-in-homework" Syndrome

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish, take a chance
Make a change and breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk, take a chance
Make a change and breakaway

Aaaahh. New song for my life. Breakaway. That's what I really feel right now. I mean life isn't really what we expect it to be: perfect and happy. The world is so unpeaceful. The people are so critical. Everything is so pressuring. You have to be a very different person so that society will accept you. But honestly, that's not the life I choose to live. I admit that most of the time I'm really pressured by my peers but every once in a while I want to breakaway and just -- be myself. No masks, no fake me's, no trying hard to be something I'm not. Just me. But of course, I'll still bring my dreams with me. *wink*

UAAP. The results of the Cheerleading event:

3rd Place: FEU
2nd Place: UP (I'm gonna go there someday...hehe! *wish, wish!*
1st Place: UST (No doubt about it!)

UST bags it again. It's kind of expected I guess. Did you watch the game today?! Oh my gosh! A 69-82!!! Oh mehn, I never though DLSU can still shoot with only a few minutes left. I guess they really want to "bawi" their loses. But ADMU played great too (Tenorio...hehe) but Yeo rocked! Larry Fonacier was there *haaaayy...kilig!* although his face was kind of gloomy because ADMU was losing, but hey! He's still cute! I so miss him and Wesley Gonzales. BTW, I saw an article in Yes mag featuring Wes coz he's a PBA boy already. I wish I could join the fun when I go to college. Now the question is: ADMU or DLSU??? Haha. UP na lang, para neutral!

SR. FIDES. (NOTE: This is not a "I-hate-Sister" issue.) Last Friday, Sr. Fides was out so Ms. Napoles took over (she's the teacher of the other classes). We discussed more about the Sin Stories and even played a Picture Frame about it. In short: we had SO much fun. Then came Monday, and Sr. Fides asked us to "reenact" what we did with Ms. Napoles. She saw that we honestly had a great time and we were able to do things we didn't do with Sister Fides. So she said that she will be asking Sr. Angele (our directress) to change her and pick Ms. Napoles as our regular teacher. She's not saying that because she's jealous or what but because she said that she's already old and that she has other things to do (she's the General Services head). And all of a sudden, I felt sad. Honestly. I mean, yeah, Sister F is masungit but she's kind and funny when she jokes and tells us stories about herself when she was not yet a nun. I actually see my Lola in her *awwww* because she acts the same. I'm not sipsip or anything. I just felt sad. I mean, we lived the past few months with Sr. Fides, and honestly, we're surviving. We're learning. I just feel sad. I guess that's what you feel when someone you used to dislike will suddenly, go (?). I hope she will not do it. We (okay maybe just I) will miss her.

SHOUT-OUTS: Finally, the long awaited plugs and thank you's!!! Love to Shari, Jam, Gliza, Carine, Karen, Kreiz and an anonymous guy/girl named "U rock dude"...thanks to all especially to the "Congratulations" about the Sabayan. Keep on commenting, owkie?

BIRTHDAY BASH: Mrs. Magtangob (today, 14) and to my Wowa (my grandma) on 16. My birthday is coming up...soon!!!!!!!!! So you better give me a gift...haha! Demanding! :)

My THE homework is waiting. G2G! mwah! ;)

a blog a day keeps the blogger busy.

2004-09-10T22:18:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: fresh! i had a haircut :)
EAR CANDY: Ikaw Nga by Southborder...the OST of Mulawin!!!!
CRAVING FOR: knick-knacks!!! the milk flavored ones...
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "woah-new-look" Syndrome

MULAWIN.

Ikaw nga ang syang hanap-hanap
kay tagal na ako'y nangarap
lumuluhod, nakikiusap
ako ay mahalin mo sinta
Ikaw nga ang syang magbabago
sa akin, sa aking buhay
handang iwanan ang lahat
para lang sayo sinta, upang makapiling ka sinta

Okay...jologs kung jologs but I'm a fan of the show. I mean, yeah, the special effects are not that great, the names are totally Filipino (e.g. Aguiluz, Alwina, Pagaspas...) but hey! The story IS good, the song IS good and the LEADING MAN IS TOTALLY GOOD: RICHARD GUTIERREZ!!! Whoooot!!! Hehe. Okay, I've had a crush on him since I was in Grade 5. Plus have you heard the song? It's 101% recommended! It's so great. Major factor: it was sung by Southborder so you can probably expect the high-pitched notes. So I admit it: I like Mulawin and even though it's super corny or jologs for you, it's too cool for me (and Missy and Alexis...hehe!).

SOCSCI. Okay so I belong to the Soc Sci core group and we're going to have a Soc Sci Congress sometime this month in St. Paul Balayan. Actually, it involves all St. Paul Schools around the Philippines again (remember the Science congress and Leadership Trainings?!) and looks like I'm going to join. Not that I'm being boastful or anything, but like what I've mentioned before, I really like History, SocSci or whatchamacallit. It's sort of my strength that pulls my grades (my weaknesses: sometimes Sci or Math...hehe) so there.

Top 3 reasons why I think I'll enjoy:

Trix and Cathy are Soc Sci core members too! HehE...J-sistahood
I love this subject
I'M GOING TO SEE MY OTHER PAULINIAN FRIENDS AGAIN!

You see, this is really one thing I love about St. Paul. It interacts its students with each other, so I have friends from Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and even in Thailand! We're all Paulinians. Paulie-power! :) *wink*

FETUS. The new game we're constantly rantin'. It all started during our reco, when Missy, Nica and I slept after lunch (we had 'sleeping time'). We looked like a 'fetus' because we were curled up to each other. Then after some weeks, we decided to sleep during lunch and played fetus again, now including Mikka, Anile and Alex. While playing, we were sort of 'role playing' because we pretended we are a squatter family. Kelly since she was watching us play suddenly became our "grandfather" and was named Kellylito. Then everyone else had their names formed with a "ta" or "to" in the end (mine is Karlita) so we became the Familia To. It's a long story...just check out our account to know...hehe! Basta, it's so much fun!!! Promise.. ;)

BLOODY BLAHs. Some extras you wouldn't want to care about but then I want to post (so you can do nothing about it)

I had a haircut and hot oil today. Total makeover? Naaah...just a little.
Ate Marion's magic wallets! You put the bill inside, flip the other side and voila! the money is securely strapped inside the garters. It's so cool. My classmates were crazy for it.
Pauline and Cori also considered "Broken" as their SOML. See, the song really has something in it...hehe
I LOVE PATRICK STAR!!! He's so dumb and stupid...hehe!
I have no load. Share-a-load please? I'm a Globe *making gr8 thngs pssble*
My Long Tests are fine. I'm happy with my grades.
Note to self: Major self update and makeover. Got to be a good leader, example and student! I need to shine this month! :)

So there goes my daily *ehem* okay, weekly dosage of fun and craziness. I'll post the shout-outs next time since there are only a few. Thanks for droppin by...luv y'all! *muah!* :)

karla's day out

2004-09-05T20:36:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: Jasmine Trias-y
EAR CANDY: the "Song of my Life", Broken by Seether and Amy Lee. I don't know why I chose this as the SOML, I just felt the song and *poof*, that's it.
CRAVING FOR: Brother's Burger!
THE CATWALK: I wore a racerback shirt today!!! Whoot! :)
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "Today-I-feel-like-I'm-Jasmine-Trias" Syndrome

Full explanation of this newly discovered syndrome: read on.

DESTINATION: TAGAYTAY. We attended mass in a Tagaytay parish (I think it's Our Lady of Lourdes parish -- not sure) and I can't believe we can still feel the "Tagaytay breeze" even with today's pollution. I'm not sure if it's 100% fresh air but hey, it's cool so I didn't sweat even if the sun was raging hot. We ate at Cafe Lupe then drank coffee at Starbucks which was right beside it. I drank Mocha Frap and ate sansrival...hehe. After that we went to a flower farm in Fr. Cabarlotto convent and school. BOY THE FLOWERS WERE EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL. It's so pretty...the flowers are called Gerbera...they look like dandelions but prettier. We took pics and played with the flowers. It costed P200 a dozen but the man there, Kuya Paul, was so kind he gave me three extras. It was all so cute. Maybe I'll post all the pics here, all in one blog (including the Sabayan pics) after I transfer them all from my phone and digicam to the PC then to PhotoBucket or maybe to Friendster, so watch out for that. Anyway, I placed flowers in my ear and started singing "I'll Never Love This Way Again" which explaines my Jasmine syndrome. I think that is the only time I actually felt the song...haha! I played in the playground after (promise...second childhood!!!) for a few minutes. Then we headed to the Speedo factory outlet and my Tita Guada bought me a new swimsuit. It's a blue floral one with a zipper in front (just try imagining it first then I'll show you the pic later on!)...it's so cute! I'm planning on wearing it on our field trip since someone told me that we would be swimming (yipee!). Unfortunately, I can't use it on our swimming lessons every week (it's our PE) because we have uniform. But that's okay. After that, we arrived home -- really, really tired. But it's all fun.

YESTERDAY. We went to Rockwell. Mom went to the grocery and bought food and some stuff. Then we ate at Brother's Burger (simply the best burgers -- ever!!!!!!!!!!) and it was soooooo good. I really can't forget the taste. Yum.

I have to go finish my reaction paper & questionnaire for Integ and my "speech" for Filipino. I'm not gonna say it out loud, it just happens to be our assignment. Well, gotta go now. Tata. Luv y'all. mwaaaaahh... :)

certified choco bang princess!

2004-09-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: oh my gosh!!!!!!
EAR CANDY: Take My Breath Away...Jessica Simpson
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the "Sabayan-took-my-breath-away" Syndrome
LAUGH 3P: the "Stop Me" game...it's fun: Promise!!!

OH MY GOSH WE WON 2ND PLACE!!!!!!!!!! 2ND PLACE!!!!! #2!!!!!! WHOA!!!!!!
(Sorry for the very, very, very, very late update. We had our Long Test yesterday and today.)

LAST SABAYAN UPD8. We won second place!!!! The Sophomores - 4th, Juniors - 3rd, we bagged the 2nd (obviously) and of course the Seniors got the 1st. It was such an honor. I mean, it's the first time in the history of SPCP that the Freshmen got the 2nd place. It's so cool!!!! I'm so honored to belong to this batch!!! Whoooot!!! :) Even though we really looked wasted after jumping around while they were announcing the winners (when we heard that we weren't the last, we automically jumped for joy...then when they didn't announce us for the 3rd, our adrenalines were not just rushing, they were dancing!!!) It was such a -- moving (?) moment. I felt really proud (hehe) because, me and Trixie were the ones who went to the stage and claimed our certificate. We looked wasted, but so what? Our practices were definitely NOT wasted. It's so fun...the Interpretative dancers got the 4th place, but that's okay. Our 2nd-place-win really changed it all. It proved that the 4th place was not reserved for the Freshies. Plus, I managed to get over my role: the "takas" and the Choco bang! (P.S. Nabawi na namin yung sa jingle, right? FORST YEAR!!!)

POST SABAYAN. Okay, that wasn't the last sabayan update. But this is it. Ate Jona came and gave us a letter...you know the "thank-you-sorry-we-had-fun" sort of letter. And she even gave each of us rosaries. In the letter, she mentioned my name (actually, she mentioned a couple of names.) and this is the exact thing she wrote about me:

Karla a.k.a. "Choco Bang Princess", "And takas" and "Junior Counter" - Isang choco bang nga jan!

Certified Choco Bang Princess!!!!!!! Woohoo!!! Junior Counter? I was the counter for the first Ate Charo part. I'm so happy...kakaririn ko yang Choco Bang Princess name! Actually, I'm missing the practices already. I really do. There's a part of me that is looking for the Sabayan practices every afternoon...it's like I'm not complete (Am I exaggerating?!) Well, it's part of the "Official-Bigkaser" Syndrome. Haha.

THE WEEK. Aside from the Buwan ng Wika celeb, the week was quite hectic if you ask me. This Wednesday, the school officially declared that everyone MUST speak English since the Buwan ng Wika is over. So everybody is like "Gotta go guys, bye!" and it's so...how do you say it? Basta...weird. We had our Long Tests (kanina lang natapos)...so I think next week will be the first official non-activity week because everything will go back to normal. I'm gonna miss the action. Haaaayy.

SHOUT-OUTS: Carine aka Cathe (hehe), Ethel, Kiara, Jam and Gliza...thanks for the comments! And yeah, I was really depressed last Thursday but thank God for the reward. I hope your activities went well too. *wink* :)

Long blog??? I wasn't able to blog kasi eh. But anyway, comment again, okay? And add me up in my friendster account: karla_ganda26@yehey.com, okay? :) *mwaaah* luv yah all...

bad 3p...bad 3p...bad 3p...

2004-08-26T07:15:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: really, really, really really bad. today is not a good day.
EAR CANDY: nothing! i'm mourning today.

CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED WHICH MEANS: NO SABAYAN.
I really, really, really, really, really, really hate it.

I woke up this morning and still felt a little sleepy but ready for the day. As I got up from my bed, mom shouted "Walang pasok!" and *poof!* I cried. I'm not exaggerating here, but I even shouted "No! Hindi pwede! No!" because it really can't be! TODAY as in TODAY is the big day. Have you read my previous blog? (Check out below) I'm so psyched to perform today, yet the DepEd declared no classes. Why today?! Why today?! Why?????? I'm mourning. If you're thinking that we can still perform tomorrow, that is a BIG QUESTION because tomorrow will be the General Assembly in the morning and Distribution of Cards in the afternoon (what the heck!). About next week, I'm still not sure about that but all I know is that THEY POSTPONED OUR DAY! OUR SABAYAN DAY! I hate the DepEd (sorry guys, this "hate-suspension" thing will go...bare with me!) and all the things that come with it. I texted all my friends to spread the BAD news and -- oh man. This is not a good day.

So here I am, blogging very early in the morning because me, my Maria Clara and my Sabayan costume aren't going anywhere. :( *boo-hoo*

P.S. if you want to comment about the Sabayan or about yesterday's blog, please comment in that particular blog. Not here. Thanks! :)

rosita! rosita!

2004-08-25T20:42:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: excited, worried, sad, happy...unexplainable!!!
EAR CANDY: not a song but the WHOLE SABAYAN PIECE!!!
SYNDROME OF THE MOMENT: the

"OH MY GOSH TOMORROW IS THE DAY WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! THE SABAYANG PAGBIGKAS COMPETITION.....AAAAAAGGGGHH!!!!" syndrome

I'm going to tell you the happenings before I collapse because of too much excitement.

The Day Which is Tomorrow (haha!)
Premiere: August 26, 2004
Main Star: ME, of course!
Supporting Cast: All my friends, bigkasers, interpretative dancers...all of us!
Scenes to Watch out:

We're going to wear our Filipiniana costume. Mine is a Maria Clara dress (gown?!) The kimona & bakya was I think still in the old times (read: years and years and years ago) so I think it gives a little something extra. Hehe. Maybe I can post the pictures next time.
I reminded everyone to call me Rosita, since tomorrow is pure Filipino day so, I guess Karla is not suitable for tomorrow. No ROSE or ROSIE...just ROSITA. *wink*
Our corridor and classroom decorations. We spent hours figuring out what to do with the dayami and leaves Mikka brought from Tarlac. We were going crazy just thinking of how we're going to set them all up. Finally, we finished it a while ago.
The Pista Ng Bayan a.k.a. Eating time! Everyone is assigned to bring a native food (mine's Lechon Manok) and we're all going to share. Puto, kutsinta, palabok, kakanin...woohoo!
AND OF COURSE: THE SABAYANG PAGBIGKAS!!! Our costumes were given to us yesterday, it's red and gray. Basta, parang sa pari...but kewel (cool!!!) I'll also try to post pics later on. Plus: I have my solo role. I'm the "criminal" who was caught escaping from jail. Then I'll be in the center during the Choco Bang commercial. That's my moment, my shining moment...so better watch out for that! Hehehehe....

SUSPENDED. Yup, the classes were suspended around 1:00 in our school but of course, the Bigkasers and Dancers stayed to practice. Since our costumes were given, we practiced in them. The dancers' costumes naman are green (as in Freshmen!) It was soo kee-yut. I felt so, uhm, "professional"...because we were actually official participants of the Buwan ng Wika. Haaaayy. This is what you get when you study at our school, so much excitement!!! And school spirit is on because everyone is busy doing their own jobs. The suspension of classes were in the right timing. It gave us time to practice more for our LAST SABAYAN PRACTICE.

DRAMA QUEEN. Of course, after tomorrow, no more practices, no more Ate Jona or Ate K-Anne or Ate Fhatz to coach us, no more vocalizations, no more bringing of PEs everyday...and even if you curse or kill me for this, I'm still gonna say this -- I'm going to miss the Sabayan and all the things that come with it. Kanina nga, when Mrs F gave them our token and our card, I felt a little senti. (NOTE: Tagalog words coming up...) As in sobrang, ang senti naming lahat. Kasi naman, kahit na minsan bad 3p sila, nakakamiss pa rin yung fact na araw-araw kayo magkakasama. Haaaaaaayy. I feel so -- I don't know. I'm really gonna miss the Sabayan.

WISH US LUCK. Guys!!! We really need your prayers and "good lucks". Include us in your intentions...and thanks in advance! Your prayers will be greatly appreciated...I'll update you about it soon!

SHOUT-OUTS: My beloved commentors (sorry, I wasn't able to have the plugs in my past blogs) Deejaie, Pinky, Shari, Stef, Gliza and Carine. Don't forget to check them out, okay?!

Luv yah guys...I have to go now and take my beauty rest! Heehee :) Ciao! Mwaaahh...

diva am i?

2004-08-22T21:35:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: diva-ish...
EAR CANDY: Jasmine's "i'll never love this way again"...

I know I'll bever love this way again
so I keep holdin' on
before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
hold on, hold on...

This is me and my friend, Missy's song. We keep on singing this one because we like the "twist" Jasmine gave the song. It's so cool. And you may not like Jasmine Trias, but I do because:

She's Filipina. Proud pinay!
She's a girl. Girl power!
I like her generally. She's very pretty and very charming. She may not have the perfect voice but she's still idol-material.

Okay enough about Jasmine Trias. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Jasmine-Trias-crazy" syndrome

MP3. During our Sabayan practices, I brought my iRiver (MP3 player) to school with me. Yeah, it's not the iPod but I'm getting one soon (when my grandma comes back from the States) It works the same anyway. I have all these cool songs in it and during our breaks we would listen to it. This is where Missy and I sung our hearts out with the I'll Never Love This Way Again. My dad transferred my CD to the player so most of the songs there were my favorites (Let Me Be The One, I'll Be, Perfect, Burn, Confessions, Yeah, Hey Mama, Harana, Hanggang Ngayon...the list goes on) and we were jammin! Syndrome of the Moment: the "Official-Barkada-Jams" syndrome.

SABAYAN. We finished the piece!!! At long last, we finally finished the piece!!! Although we had some bumps in the morning (aka sermons, misunderstandings...you know what I mean) but when we practiced in the gym, I think we just sort of "realized" that we really need to finish it so -- yun, the magic begun. We had the "Barya" commercial and we even have the Oblation thing in the end. Haaaayy <-- (Sigh of relief) Syndrome of the Moment: the "Thank-God-we're-through" Syndrome.

Short blog because I have to sleep. Tata for now!

blog blues...

2004-08-20T21:27:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: seriously tayard (read: tired)
EAR CANDY: the choco bang song...*oh man* and Officially missing you...haha :)

Choco Bang! Choco Bang!
Ako'y nahihibang!
Hibang sa Choco Bang!

SP (you know what this means). Can you believe we sang this song for minutes (that seemed like forever) in our Sabayan practice?! Another one of those pakulo we added to our piece. Haha! I enjoyed the song but not the practice (Sabayan shivers...ugh) because, as usual, Ate Jona was in a bad mood. And this is a Karla fact: When our trainors are in a bad mood, I get carried away. I don't know why, but I guess they sort of pass the burden to us, when we see them frowning and NOT satisfied with our "best". Although I admit that we're really undisciplined, but I guess it's just too -- let's just say -- depressing if someone who's gonna teach you "fun" things are in a bad mood. Really, totally, freakingly NOT GOOD. Syndrome of the Moment: the "bad-trippED-ako" Syndrome. And it's not good.

RECO. Our reco...I rate it 6.5/10. It was not as touching as before (you know, the senti types) and seemed like an ordinary CLE class. The only difference is it's not a woman in white (uhm: Sr. Fides) talking in front but Sir Ocampo. He kept cracking jokes and his voice was so un-reco-ey. Weird word but it's the truth. He didn't exactly give us the ambience we were expecting. But anyway I enjoyed reading my reco letters and sort of "touched" by the letters they gave me. I even cried when I read mom's letter to me...I was so "guilty" hehe. But one thing I hated about the reco: we missed the Fire Drill. Durgh. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Reco-was-quite-fine" syndrome.

By the way, our Sabayan is on Aug 26 na (wish us luck!!! please...we badly need it!!!) Plus, we have Sabayan practices tomorrow. So I really have to doze off...late comers will receive punishment...oopsies!!! Hehe... :) And yeah, exactly one year ago, our class (6-mt. carmel) won first place in the grade school Sabayan..talk about real bigkaser achievement!!! :)

Gotta go...love yah! Tata...mwaaahh :)

i dont want the world to see me...

2004-08-18T22:06:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: iris-y...heehee
EAR CANDY: iris...goo goo dolls!!!

i don't know why, but suddenly that song somewhat pinched me today and said "Hey, I'm gonna be playing in your mind for a few hours, okay?" First, She Will Be Loved and now, Iris! I think I'm getting the "songs-stuck-in-my-mind" syndromes.

RECO. yep, tomorrow is our reco! Actually, it was supposed to be last Tuesday, then moved to last Wednesday, then moved to today, and finally tomorrow. *whew* woohoo...and hir i am, 9:22 pm, still making reco letters. Darn, I'm so good. I can't sleep when I know that not everyone is given a reco letter. Haha. Talk about an angel: fallen angel. Haahaa. But think about it, I cram at everything, even reco letters!!! Oh shit mehn, this is so weird. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Reco-letters-are-turning-my-world-upsidedown" syndrome

THE MOVE. We took a pilot test from the Department of Education. It was sort of like an achievement test to see if the students are really good in academics (sort of like testing your stock knowledge). I was assigned to take Science (Damn). I want Araling Panlipunan! Not that, I'm boastful or anything, but I think it's my forte. The quiz bees I've joined were all in that category. But I guess taking Science was also a bit of a challenge. We transferred to St. Claire's room and we had fun there! We certainly missed our classroom but we loved our stay there. We played and tickled (hehe) each other. Whoa men, it's so cool! We wish our classroom was just like theirs. In the afternoon, we went back to Ann, and thanked Claire for taking care of our classroom. Hehe. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Dep-Ed-tests-and-classroom-moves-are-kinda-cool" syndrome.

MORNING MASS. Believe it or not, this heartthrob (ehem) was tasked to read the 1st Reading in the 6:00 am mass at St. Andrew's Cathedral. Whoa mehn, I had to wake up at 4:30 and be there at 5:30! I've never seen the Cathedral that early before, so I was quite shocked to see it so dark. I think I'm going to read again next Wednesday since SPCP sponsors the Wednesday morning masses. Syndrome of the Moment: the "I-am-really-becoming-an-angel" syndrome.

*yawns* I'm really sleepy. But I still have to cut the reco letters and paste them and...ugh. I haven't even fixed my bag yet. Surprisingly, no Sabayan reports. I'm too lazy to write it down. Maybe tomorrow. See you then. Ciao! mwaaaahh!!! :)

and she will be loved...

2004-08-15T21:11:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: loved...teehee
EAR CANDY: she will be loved...

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved...she will be loved

Oh it's stuck in my mind. But the question is: who will be loved? Me -- with a huge question mark? Honestly, I feel loved right now...loved by you. Haha. I LOVE this feeling. But not love as in boyfriend-girlfriend love, but the "I-can-feel-the-world" feeling. It's nice. Love is loving me right now.

BOOK FAIR. We went to the World Trade Center Book Fair today, and boy am I overwhelmed!!! As you all know, I'm a total book-anaconda! But I'm no nerd, mind you. I just love the smell of books and the thought every page brings. It's awesome. I can't believe how people take books for granted...they don't even dare read a book or two. They're missing a huge part of their life. We bought the 5th installment of the Princess Diaries: Princess in Pink. It's so -- PINK. Kee-yut. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Books-are-cool-and-so-am-I" syndrome

ROSITA. My second name, as all of you know is something I'm really proud of. Yeah it sounds weird but it sounds wonderful next to my name. Maria Karla Rosita. Heavenly *wink* So for our assignment in Soc Sci, we have to research the meaning and heritage of our names. Rosita is an Italian word for small rose. Rose (Rosa) means pink. So sort of like "small pink rose". Cool, huh? I guess that explains my pink addiction. Syndrome of the Moment: the "My-name-is-so-pink-and-rosy" syndrome.

HEARTTHROB. I changed the title of the blog. I really like the word. Think it suits me? Naaahh. You judge. Basta, I think it fits this blog. Tell me watcha think, okay?!

Comments guys! Keep it coming! Luv yah, mwaaahh!!! :)

TODAY I FEEL: sexy...I think the song of the day is "Naughty Girl" hehehe.

I wore a mini-skirt to school today. Hehe. So that's why I feel sexy. Plus, I wore my supah cool Celine step-in that is __ inches long each which made me taller...hehe. But anyway, I changed to my work clothes after arriving, so no problemo.

THE DAY BEFORE TODAY. Modified form of the word yesterday. I just felt like changing boring old words to exciting ones. Anyway, yesterday was finally the end of the ultra long week. (I really think this week is super-mega-totally-long...*sighs*) We were measured for our Sabayan costumes (finally!!!), Ms. Pepito and our class made up (we didn't actually have a fight...but hey, she got mad at us) and we celebrated Mrs. Fragante's birthday (she is our Year Level Coordinator [YLC]). For the last one, we surprised Mrs. F with flowers and gifts during lunch. She was so shocked because she thought that our gift in our Algeb class was the "surprise" but then we gathered all the Year I officers and advisers in the Learning Station and surprised her again. She's so young...only 27 but she has a husband already, Mr. Fragante (obviously) who was a former Paulinian teacher and is now teaching at ADMU. W. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Thank-God-for-the-weekend" syndrome. I need to rest.

FROM THE MOUTH OF THE BIGKASER. OUR PRACTICE IS SO COOL, PRODUCTIVE, HOT GREAT, GOOD, BETTER, BEST!!!!! This was definitely the coolest. We practiced for the whole day...7:00-4:00. The commercial thing is stuck on my mind:

Say Cheese! Cheddar!
Say Cheese! Garlic!
Say Cheese! Bacon!
Say Cheese! Pimiento!

This is I think the shortest entry about Sabayan. Oh well: More is Less. Hehe. 'Nuff said. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Best-sabayan-practice-was-made" syndrome

SORRY. I'm really sorry if I wasn't able to blog very, very, very often. TOTALLY BUSY SCHED. I told you, I don't even have me times or phone convos or Friendster...so it's really -- sad. But anyway, I promise when everything unclogs, I will try to blog as often as I can. Thanks for the commentors!!! I'll comment back: PROMISE!!!

BIRTHDAY BASH. Mrs. Fragante (today, 14, but we greeted her yesterday) and Kristine (tomorrow, 15) Happy Bday guys! :D

SHOUT-OUTS. I've been missing the shout-outs also. Anyway, thanks to Shari, Jam, Gliza, Cathe and Deejaie. Thanks guys! :) Luv y'all! Ciao, ciao! Mwaaahh! ;D

high school dilemmas...

2004-08-12T21:24:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: like jumping...don't know why.

I feel like it's been a really long time since I blogged. Well you can guess why and if you get it correctly a kiss for you.........busy sched, I hear you say. MWAAAAAHH. There it goes. Haha. But anyway I don't feel too exhausted anymore as in freaked-out. I think I adjusted to the ambience already. Whoa...congrats to me.

SR. FIDES. Yes, yes, yes guys. Sister Fides, our beloved CLE teacher. Before you close this window and yawn your way out from my blog, take time to read even this part because it really is freaky. Yesterday (Wednesday) she gave us a seatwork because she has to attend a Council Meeting. Knowing our attitudes when our teacher is not around, we didn't bother to do it and we just played. (Sorry guys, I have to cut the story short) She caught us and told us to remain standing until she returns. After that, her "assistant" came and told us that we can already go home after 5 minutes (CLE was our last period) which also means that we can go to our Sabayan practices (Sabayan is always involved...) Unfortunately, Sr. Fides wasn't informed that her assistant told us to go so she got mad and told us to go up to our classroom again. We tried to say sorry but she thought we were escaping from her. THE WHOLE CLASS OF I - ST. ANN WAS CRYING, one of our classmates even fainted. She then called us to her office and we had a "mini" recollection there. We were all moved by what she said and we all made a promise not do it again. Sounds weird, huh? But it made me realize one thing: sisters are not "sungit" all over. They're just misunderstood. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Sister-and-St.-Ann-encounter" syndrome.

DEBATE. We lost. Haha. But that's okay. I feel totally fine with it. We fought against the positive side for the "No Permit, No Rally Policy". (Obviously, we were on the negative side) It was a great experience for me. Totally fun. Not the typical shouting debate we see on TV. But real action and real stuff. I'm never gonna forget this debate, it's my first serious one. See I told you, the "I'm gonna be a lawyer someday" statement might have a chance. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Debate-is-totally-cool-even-if-we-lost" syndrome.

BIGKASER UPD8. Sabayan. We call the Sabayan participants "Bigkasers" (Sabayang Pag BIGKAS -- get it?) I just want to change the title for this section coz you might grow tired of it. Anyway, practices today are really getting COOLER and HOTTER (uhm?! Haha! Whatta weird statement...) Cooler in a way that it's not plain boring anymore and hotter because we're doing more and more stuff besides the usual vocalization...We have the Say Cheez commercial in it and lotsa other cool stuff. I'm really loving it now. As in! By the way, the competition is on August 26. Wish us luck!!! Syndrome of the Moment: the "Cool-and-hot-Sabayan" syndrome

I still have to finish my English book report and it's what -- 9:16 pm. Ciao, ciao guys! Mwaaahh!

reality bit me today

2004-08-08T17:56:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: alright... :)

Yup. I feel totally alright. It's been raining all day but it didn't ruin my day. Actually, it made it much more, uhm, challenging. I think today is not a total waste. I was able to accomplish lots of things. And I think I'm geared up to face the week ahead. Sounds weird? Accept it. It's real.

MASS. We had mass at St. Andrew's, 8:00. All Year I students were there. We were the sponsors and we were also the choir. Heehee. See? Paulinians really are religious. How can we NOT be religious? The Cathedral is only a few steps across the school. Oh and by the way, our recollection is on Tuesday. Don't forget to make me a reco-letter, huh? Syndrome of the Moment: the "I-am-a-total-angel" Syndrome

DEBATE. After the mass, we (Ate Marianne, Ate Golda, Ate Nikki and I) had a meeting about Thursday's debate. We stressed our points and prepared to "block" whatever the other team's points may be. Ate Mae Anne didn't attend the meeting and I thought I was going to take her place (as the Necessity speaker), good thing I didn't. My powers are only reserved for scribe-material as of now. Hahaha. Wish us luck. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Debate-is-only-a-few-days-away" Syndrome

SABAYAN. I think this topic is in almost all of my blogs, didn't you notice? I think it's becoming a real part of me already, not just an extra-curricular activity. Whoa men, it's growing in my veins. Harhar. So...about today's practice (okay, don't be shocked but yes, a Sunday and we had a practice) It went good. Actually, I think it has been the best practice ever. Not ordinary vocalizations and polishing, but real action. Talk about exciting. We changed the first stanza and made it so much cooler. Then we practiced the intro. It's kee-yut! Hehe. I enjoyed it. Some are going to be "activists" and the others will be the "Ate Charo's". I'm one of the Charo's...the aktibista role is just not my thing. Well, it rained, yes, but the Bigkasers still rocked the day. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Today-was-so-far-the-best-Sabayan-practice" Syndrome

GARFIELD. We watched Garfield yester day!!! It's so cool. Although I freaked out for some scenes (FYI, I'm afraid of cats. Weird? Hehe.) but the film was cute. I honestly enjoyed it.
-- Watch out for: Garfield's dance moves and all his other wacky pranks!!!
-- I watched it at: Festival Mall, last night
-- Rating: (5 stars as the highest) **** - I could've given it a 5 but the fear factor is there...hehe

NOT YOUR TYPICAL BABY. It's my new blog. It's where I'm gonna talk about issues and stuff that I don't wanna place in this blog because they're not "related" to my life, but it kinda bugs me anyway. Haha. Hope you got that. Basta, visit it, just click this. Tell me what you think of it okay?

Gotta go now, I still need to make reco letters...luv yah! and don't forget: COMMENT!!!!!!!

rainy days, best-friend sites & touching love stories...

2004-08-07T14:27:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: too lazy to even know what I am feeling right this very moment...

i just changed my template...GREEN. Hehehehehe. I just like to experiment. But I tell you guys, pink is still my thing. Just don't mind the Haloscan post. Well since everytime I change the template, all the content goes away too so I have to re-install my commenting system...argh. But anyway, your comments are still there so it's okay.

BHEZ. I'm making a site for me and my best friend, Katrina. Actually everybody in school these days began calling her Hope since it's her second name. But I still feel like calling her Kat so, there. We just had a phone convo and I came up with the idea of us having a site. We thought it would be cool. We're gonna have it in Bravenet. When it's done I'll let you know. Visit it, okay?

SEND MY LOVE TO HEAVEN. It's raining. And I'm loving it...ooh the soothing sound of the rain falling down makes me want to sleep. But I'm not sleepy. Haha. I suddenly remembered the story "Send My Love To Heaven". I first learned about that in Grade 4 I think. Missy (my other close, as in super close friend) told me that her cousin told her a story about this guy who fell for his best friend but it was too late when he finally had the guts to say it to her because she died. When he visited her grave, rain poured and he said "Oh God, send my love to heaven" I was so touched by the story I wanted to find a copy of it right away. But we didn't know where to get one, so...hanggang dun na lang. Then this summer, as I was surfing my way through the Net, I 'accidentally' found this site named Prinsesa (hehe, Ate Gliza's) and surprisingly, she has Send My Love To Heaven!!! I immediately informed Missy and printed a copy. When school started, I gave her the copy and we were both touched again. Aaaaaww. Maybe I'll post that one in the upcoming site.

SHOUT-OUTS. Ate Gliza, Cathe and 2 new peepz: Shia and "Anonymous" Thanks guys! Hope you comment again next time...

I think this is it for now. Maybe I'll not be blogging very often so that you can still have time to read the blogs I just posted these last few days. But anyway, if you missed some, you can always check out my archive. Comment, okay? I'm loving my new commenting system (thanks to Haloscan) so tell me what you think and I'll be more than willing to give you a BIG THANK YOU. luv yah!!! :) *mwaaaaaahh*

2004-08-06T18:31:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: so happy and free!!! i'm baaaaack!!! i totally missed sitting by the window, in the comfy black chair, in front of the computer, typing for my blog...woohoo!!!

I missed my blog soooo much!!! Although I didn't get a lot of comments, ok lang...at least new blog again. Did you guys miss me? Haha. I sure hope you did. So here I am, I think I'm gonna be typing a slightly long blog. I just want you to catch up with my crazy, wacky life.

PERIO. The climax of the blog!!! This is the entire reason why I wasn't able to blog for one whole week! Can you believe it??? Oh well, it went fine...really fine. I mean, I think I answered well. Ü I just hope I'll pass. From Tuesday night until this morning, my brain was in a major panic-mode. I don't feel the periodic-test ambience. Weird, but true. Anyway, for me the hardest test was THE: Oh shucks. We were supposed to memorize the whole vitamin chart, functions, food sources et al. And guess what? I failed to answer two...haha. I tried but I just can't think of the answers so I just left it blank. For Algebra, I think I answered quite fine! I'm sort of happy because I'm not confused or what. I think the numbers just came flowing down my hands and I just solved it, uhm, peacefully. Ü I'm not being mayabang, but it's true. That's the way I felt. The subjects for the last day (that is today) were the subjects I'm a little more confident about because I was really able to understand them well especially GEN CHEM!!! Gosh my mind finally welcomed the idea of changing English units to Metric and vice versa without any fuss!!! Can you believe it? Even the Filipino stuff (ponema, morpema, etc.) and the Cons Math thingies (consumerism, consumer vigilance) blaaaahh...thanks for the prayers, if you ever prayed for me, because generally, I can feel that my 1st perio in high school is going to be just fine. Ü Syndrome of the Moment: the "I-feel-good-about-the-perio" syndrome

DEBATE. Guess what? Miraculously, I am going to join the Debate on Aug 12. I don't know who picked me or even mentioned my name, but to her (or him) I don't know what to say. I mean, I would really like to debate (I remember the debate we had in Grade 4 about the American troops coming here for the Balikatan) but not now. I'm only a freshie...haha. Not that I'm underestimating the power within us (naks!) but you know, it's just so unusual. My groupmates are Ate Marianne (coach), Ate Golda (team capt.), Ate Nikki (Beneficiality speaker) and Ate Mae Anne (Necessity speaker). Obviously, I'm the great scribe. I'm not going to speak (yes!) but my role I think is one of the most important one. I have to listen to the other team very carefully and write down important points...then the others can make a rebuttal out of my notes. I have to put into my mind that "one wrong word coming from them can make their whole team fall" so I really have to be attentive. The debate is about the "No Permit, No Rally" Policy and we're on the ______ side. Can't tell. Someone from the other team might read it...Ü Syndrome of the Moment: the "Debate-is-sending-shivers-down-my-spine" syndrome

SABAYAN. The last thing I wanted to talk about today. Oh damn, like any other day, today was so walang kwenta. Sorry for the word, but it's so damn true. One thing that is different among the other days is that: I honestly had so much fun!!! Super!!! As in!!! We only did some vocalizations since Ate Jona was not there (only Ate Fhatz). So yun, voicing here, voicing there. Then in the singing part (we have to sing the chorus of the APL song...Lapit mga kaibigan...) we really need to exaggerate our moves so we were like dancing monkeys! Haha. Trixie auctioned P50 again, ililibre daw niya yung Top 5 na pinaka-OA. P10 each for water. And we called the game "Quest for Water" (Quest for Fire? Yuck! I'm so grossed with that film!!!) When we had the break, we bought out own water (except for those who "won") and after that, nagbasaan kami! As in super saya...we were all wet and the goal: to wet other people! We were sooooo...WET!!! We were like a group of basang sisiw's. I had fun, real fun. It was so good to feel the cold water running down your skin, only thing is, I might get sick. Argh. Anyway, I still had fun. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Sabayan-practice-turned-to-water-disaster" syndrome.

SOME OTHER STUFF I WANT TO BLAB ABOUT::
1. Bea came to school again!!! We were so happy to see her...I hugged her so tightly!!! Hehehe. She's still as cute as ever. I hope she'll visit us more often.
2. Missy and me finally have our song: The Show!!! It's so C-O-O-L although the meaning's kinda grassy green...but hey: if you don't bring malice to the song, it's just a song. The reason why we chose that song? Secret...it has something to do with *tOooOoOt!* Hehe. Ü
3. Nica and I finally made up. Reason behind the fight? Naaah. Dont need to know.
4. *tOooOooT* is so cute!!! Haha. He's my Knight in Shining Armor *uyyy* Durgh. Just kidding. And also Lee from the Pond's Commercial...I knew it!!! I knew he was the guy right form the very beginning! I wish I was like Karel...lots of admirers...waaahh.
5. Mom is the parent speaker for homeroom on Monday. Haha. I hope she will make a mark. Naks. I know she will. She's a Paulinian like me too. And Paulinians always leave a mark. Yes!
6. Recollection on Tuesday! So guys...prepare your reco letters!!! I'm gonna be waiting...Ü

Haaaayy...SORRY FOR THIS ULTRA LONG BLOG. I just missed blogging...1 week of not blogging is total torture for me! Haha. Exagge. Comment okay? I'll be expecting them... Luv yah! Ü

oh man perio is just around the corner...

2004-07-31T20:44:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: ready for school! wahaha...

That doesn't exactly mean I'm having the "I-miss-school" syndrome again. Actually, these past few weekends, the syndrome didn't attack me. Harhar. I just feel like today is already a Sunday, and I'm all geared up for Monday. But by Wednesday, we're gonna be having our periodic exams, and that is one thing I'm not perfectly ready for. I've reviewed Integ, Algeb, a little bit of CLE and Music...oh man I hate GenChem! I'm really starting to hate it big time because of that conversion table. Let's just all pray that I'll not fail that test. Oh.

40 DAYS. No it's not the part two of the GMA-7 show for the laos (whatta term!) artistas: 30 Days. Today is the 4oth day after the death of my Lola Madre (my Lola's sister) We went to the convent and had mass there. Then we went to Loyola after. We even visited the grave of Dorothy Jones aka Nida Blanca. They were neighbors (hehe). The ambience was unexplainable. I don't know if the people around me were sad or happy or what. But honestly, I feel sad when I remember my lola. She's one of my favorite lolas. She was the one who told me that all my talents came from God and that I should always thank Him. I hope she's happy there with Him. Syndrome of the Moment: the "I-miss-my-lola" syndrome.

BAGS. I really like Ate Marion's bags. Ate Marion (my cousin) makes and designs bags and boy are they cute. I think it started when they have to sell bags and make a thesis about it and poof! I think the people liked it so she keeps on making them and selling them in different colors. Right now, I just received a cute blue body bag and I'm going to use it on Monday. I think I wanna sell some to my friends. I'll be bringing the color sampes (I forgot what they're called) and they're just gonna place orders. I hope they buy. They're cute and kikay-ish. Haha. The money I'm gonna earn, well,will be kept and saved for future use. Hehehe. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Enterpreneur-in-me-is-oozing-out-of-my-body" syndrome

SCHOOLWORK. Did I just say a while ago that I'm all geared up for school? I think I take 50% of it back. I haven't finished our Algeb project! Missy e-mailed the problems & puzzles to me and I'm tasked to print it. But I think she forgot to put in the answers so I still have to solve it! Damn. I really hate it when projects are made last-minute. But what can I do? The things I was busy about last week were also last-minute, so I guess everything was done in the last-minute. Argh. Hate it. Good thing today is only Saturday and I still have more than 24 hours to go. Argh.

SHOUTOUTS: Gliza again! Although she didn't comment here, she commented me in her site! Heehee. Visit her site okay? I promise you, it rocks! www.prinsesa.net Thanks Ate Gliza! :)

Okay, I think this is for real. THIS IS THE LAST BLOG I'M GOING TO POST FOR THIS WEEK. Maybe my next blog will be after the perio, which is on Friday. I'm going to miss you guys...(I hope you miss me too! Hehe) Comment, okay? And wish me luck in my periodic tests...i need all the prayers I can get! Hehe.

Bye, bye! Ciao! Paalam! luvyah...mwaaaaahh! :)

freaky friday...

2004-07-30T21:02:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: extremely good...exagge!

Haha, contrary to yesterday's blog, today was quite fine...actually it was grr-eat! First, today is Friday. Second, no practices tomorrow...just read on and you'll know more about the girl's day...

SABAYAN. Well today I think is the most PRODUCTIVE Sabayan practice. No offense, mehn. Today didn't stink (haha). We had fun, we practiced the actions...everything went well. Although, we really have to make a huge effort to make our voice loud because of 3 things:

1. The 2nd year and grade 2 field trip-ers (was that the correct term for it? W. Just hope you got my point...) arrived. So everybody were buzzing and talking, blah, blah, blah, blah...
2. The field trip buses were so NOISY and so BLOCKING OUR WAY...durgh
3. All the other Year levels were practicing so it was like, patagisan at palakasan talaga ng boses. It was so: weird. Another factor for batch rivalries. Everything seems to be moving around...haha. Seriously, everybody was doing their own thing -- for real.
Syndrome of the Moment: the "Sabayan-went-good-bravo!" syndrome

BOYS. Okay, weird topic, huh? Haha. I just wanna say, I think I'm getting used to them already. I mean, St. Paul Paranaque was an exclusive girl-school since 1945 and now -- whoa! Boys galore...So I have pares, best friends , crushes (Syempre hindi yan mawawala!) and admirers (Yuck! feeling! as if!) It's as if everything turned upside-down. Haaaaayy. I'm telling you -- this is not about me being a flirt or having a boyfriend. It's just an opinion, that well, spells out the T-R-U-T-H about how I (or maybe WE) feel about having the guys around. Haha. 'Nuff said. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Boys-make-the-school-go-crazy" syndrome

BIRTHDAY BASH: KITH!!! The guitarist...woohoo! I think he just turned 12? But anyway, he's my friend so he's worth mentioning! :)

I think I should stop for a while...I really need to study...wish me luck in my test! Adios! :) luvyaaaahh...mwaaah! :)

bummer bummer...

2004-07-29T20:58:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: bad...this really isn't much of a sunshine-y day...

I feel so disappointed, I don't know what to feel anymore.

JINGLE. The climax of the day. Well, I wasn't really part of the Jingle contest but I was an extra (hehe) I played the drum thingy just for the signal. The Year I against Year II and Year III against Year IV. The audience loved us (hehe, peace out!!!) and everybody was cheering for the Year IV (Sorry again...) but Year II and Year III won. I guess I'm just so disappointed. We should've won -- but because they recorded the guitar sound, the judges "sort of" took that against us. Hey! We were good. As for the seniors and juniors, the Juniors won because their instrumentalists played better but I think the Yr IV song was cool. Sorry for anything I just typed which you don't approve to...anyway this is my opinion, my side of the story, and my blog. But we congratulated the Year II and Year III anyway. Although, the Year IV and Year I just joined forces: FORST YEAR. Haha. FOurth Year and firST year. Hehe. Syndrome of the Moment: the "We-should've-won-the-jingle" syndrome. FRESHMEN: ONE BIG FIGHT!!! Actually, the jingle is stuck in my mind.

SABAYAN. Oh the never-ending practices. But today was quite better...the other levels thought we were 4th Year students. Goodie! Now we're talking...I think the Freshies have what it takes to be competed against other levels. Not that I'm being boastful or anything, it's just that sometimes, other levels look down to us. Oh well, I honestly enjoyed today's practice. Ate Jona was there...and we all have a crush on *tooooot* Secret!!! Syndrome of the Moment: the "Sabayan-was-okay-and-we-had-fun" syndrome.

SHOUTOUTS: Gliza...thanks for commenting!!!!! Visit her site: www.prinsesa.net! Highly recommended...

BIRTHDAY BASH: Belated Happy Birthday to Pauline (26) and Verna (29, today!) who both turned 13...my birthday's only a few (?) months away...hehe :)

Sorry if my blog is too short...as I've told you, I'm really busy especially this week and next week. Probably ZERO BLOGS because of guess what: Periodic Exams. So, please bear with me (haha). But anyway, I'm still encouraging you to comment...it would be gladly appreciated! Luvyah guys...mwaaaah! :)

no title for this blog, just read it.

2004-07-27T21:12:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: wasted... :) hehe

I feel really wasted, as in: super-duper tired. My sched's so busy...I can't find time for myself anymore! I'm a having a bad case of "too-much-school" flu, if ever there is one. Oh man.

HIGAD. I have to write this one down even though it's weird in writing (or typing) it down as it is in real life. Yesterday, a higad crawled to my sock without me noticing it. While talking to Jeremy, Ray and Melissa, I felt something sticky crawling to my legs and when I looked: aaaaahh! higad!!!!!! So I immediately removed it but unfortunately, it bit me already. After recess, we had THE and I itched too much that I turned red already and Katrina brought me to the clinic. The nurse asked me to wash the infected parts (arms, head, neck, legs...) and then put on some cream. But I was still itching after that...argh. Now I have higad scars. Argh-er. Syndrome of the Moment: the "stupid-higad-just-bit-me-and-it-made-my-body-itched-big-time" syndrome.

SABAYAN. I'm starting to get bored with Sabayan practices (no offense) We're always incomplete, the Jinglers are not there, Ate Jona and Ate Fhatz are not always there and when they are, we're incomplete, I have to bring my PE everyday but we're not using it and I'm going home super late...which causes some "disagreements" with me and my mom. I just hope practices will be more: productive. Syndrome of the Moment: the "I'm-too-tired-for-Sabayan" syndrome. Sad but true.

Bea and Kathleen went to school a while ago. Bea (as I've mentioned before) studies at MaSci and Kathleen studies at PaSci (Paranaque Science). We missed them so much!!! Too bad they weren't able to taste the thrill of St. Paul Paranaque High School...hehe.

SONG OF THE DAY: Old Testament Song. Haha

Gotta go...bitin ba ang blog? Sorry, takas lang! Hehe!

sundays with karla...

2004-07-25T23:19:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: stomach-achy...darn

Yeah and this stomach ache is here since yesterday after that big lunch we had yesterday. We were starving to death then they let us eat big time...so I guess that explains it. Oh man, it really hurts...gastritis? Naaahh don't think so...just a bad case of kabag. Argh.

BUTTERFLIES. A butterfly is flying around the window right this very minute. And I know it's my Lola Madre (she's the sister of my Lola, and she's a nun) She probably wanted to visit me so she dropped by. Aaaaaww. I wasn't able to go to mass in St. Andrew's because we had a mass here in the chapel (the masses in the Chapel are only held during 4th Sundays) so I wasn't able to see my friends if ever they attended mass at Andrew's. Oh man. But that's okay, few hours to go and voila! This girl is gonna see her friends again.

INDIANA JONES. I'm so not interested in this film...but hey can I help it if I have to make a report about it for Integ Sci? When we watched it last week, I wasn't able to understand much of it because all our teacher did was to forward the tape and we were only able to watch for maybe 30 minutes, I think. So...I have to look for synopses in the 'Net. But it's not plagiarism, if that's what you're thinking. I'm just gonna get ideas...and we're supposed to identify the minerals that appeared in the film. HELLO??? How am I supposed to know? And why do we even have to care about the minerals? Aaaaargh. I really hate reaction papers. Syndrome of the Moment: the "I-hate-reaction-papers-and-minerals" syndrome.

SPIDERMAN. Is it too late to express my love for the movie, the song and the ACTOR (read: Tobey Maguire)? Well, I was always forgetting it last week so...here it is. Haha. We watched Spidey last, last week in Rockwell. It was so amazing. I loved every second of it!!! It is majorly fantastic...and of course CUTIE SIGHTING!!! Ohh Tobey Maguire is the best!!! I'm gonna marry him (wish, wish!)...did you know that Michael Buble made a remake of the original Spidey theme? I have a pirated (haha! can't help it...) CD of Michael Buble and it featured the Spidey song. Surprisingly, he made a video...and it's so damn cool. I'm just wondering: why didn't they make Buble's remake the soundtrack for the movie? It's way better than Ordinary by "oops I forgot the name of the artist"...the 3rd part (aka Spiderman 3) will be on 2006 according to www.rottentomatoes.com. Oh man, TWO LONG YEARS of waiting for my one true love. Oh well, patience is a virtue. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Spiderman-found-his-way-to-my-heart" syndrome. The Amazing Spiderman -- the best!

I just realized something: Weekends are always jam-packed. You have to do your assignments and reports, you have to fix your things and prepare yourself for the week ahead. So weekends are not entirely and purely for resting. It's about gearing yourself for the week, which means: everyday is workday for us!!! Darn, darn, darn.

Hmmm...time's up for me. Blog again next time, when sched's become lighter. And one more thing: Comment! Comment! Comment!

ciao, ciao! :) mwaaaaahh!

busy bees make good blogs.

2004-07-24T13:36:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: tired but happy!!!

Sorry I wasn't able to blog lately...schoolwork. Durgh. Sched's so hectic. Everything's moving so fast -- zing! The week's over! But, I don't think the "I-miss-school" syndrome is gonna hit me this weekend. I really need to rest...haaaay.

SCHOOL. Guess what? We have school today. And it's so unfair! Well anyway, at least I was able to see my friends even during the weekend, so that means only one day of not seeing them *harhar* But, half day lang today. The SCC officers were asked to attend the mass at Andrew's because the new monsignor (was that spelled correctly?) is having his installation thingy...and the sermon was for 45 long minutes!!! I wasn't able to attend my classes and we ate catered food! Hehe. PGs. So far, school's been okay this week. Good scores, great lessons, wonderful times (I think I'm exaggerating!!!) Harhar. Oopsies: Periodic exams in two weeks...sheesh! 8() Syndrome of the Moment: the "Oh-my-gosh-schoolwork-is-all-over-the-place!" syndrome. I certainly don't have "me times" anymore.

SABAYAN. Sabayan practices are getting hotter! Yesterday, we practiced the first stanza, with feelings (yes!!!) It's so cool...it's so grrrrrrr-eat. Haha. Exaggerating again. We're going home kinda late everyday which means: less time for studies and NO TIME FOR BLOG. Argh. But I have no regrets...being a Bigkaser means SO MUCH to moi. talk about Queen of Exaggeration. Syndrome of the Moment: the "Oh-man-no-blog-time-because-of-Sabayan-but-it's-okay" syndrome.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! This was held last Thursday...and it was so exciting!!! So fun!!! We (all the participants in the Leadership in Dumaguete) were the group guards and we "sort of" facilitated the whole thing :) I'm so proud. I was in charge of Group 1. Mikka, Nica, Ate Miko, Ate Karla (same name!) and Keith (oohh the only thorn among the roses!) were in my group. We played ball pass, treasure hunt (the beeeeeeeeeesst!) and emperor's wish...the excitement is SO UNEXPLAINABLE. In the Treasure hunt, we were tasked to find items through clues. Then we're gonna cook our lunch with the items we found. So kalderos, bigas, calamansi, knife, toyo, coal (uling) and kamatis galore...we were like castaways on a desert island! Funny?! Not quite...because it took forever for the food to be cooked. The fish was sunog and the rice was hilaw. Talk about w-e-i-r-d. Although, we didn't eat it because we ate the food from the canteen. Plus: I got to wear my PE uniform with my name and class number stamped on it! official high school...yeah! Syndrome of the Moment: the "Leadership-training-is-so-cool-and-fun" syndrome. durgh.

MORE STUFF. What else? Well we learned the Old testament song in CLE (I think the New Testament song is more fun...we learned that when I was in Grade 6), I got good scores in Algebra (I think I'm getting better...haha ang bigger ko!), our report in Soc Sci was alright (thanks to Mikka), and the 2nd year pull-out classes were held yesterday (Mt. Makiling...they hiked, trekked and went caving: major Coolness with a capital C!) I think this week was all good, don't yah think? And more people are catching the Love bug...hehe. :)

I'm so looking forward to next week. But I don't know if I can blog everyday. I guess it's gonna take me 4-5 days...darn. Boo and bullfrogs. I have to study for the perio (although it's still weeks away...) so that I'll not cram. And I have to make reports and reaction papers...told yah everything is so jammed. Everyone is so busy.

SHOUTOUTS: Cathy for another comment...not much comments lately. hope you comment after reading this...ooh and by the way, if you love my blog you can also e-mail your comments to me: karla_ganda@heartthrob.com

"Not all great loves last a lifetime. Sometimes, the smallest flame is the one that burns the brightest" -- the sweetest love quote I ever read. And it's so true! Love bugs? Check out one blog I found: http://lovebugzzz.blogspot.com

rude awakenings...Ü

2004-07-19T20:04:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: so good... :)

Today is the first official day of the end of the "I-miss-school" syndrome. I hope you got that one, whatever that means (hehe). My day is so Hectic with a capital H! Exagge...everything was so -- busy. I love the scent of busy days (does that even have a smell?) Whatever. I just love school, no matter how weird that sounds.

So here I am, willing to "take you in" the life I'm so psyched about:

MARCELINO. We watched the film "Marcelino Pan Y Vino" in CLE together with St. Lorenzo :) It's the story of a little boy who grew up in a priest's convent. The priests forbid him to climb the stairs which led to a huge Crucufix for "there was a man who's gonna take him". But Marcelino, being mischievous still climb the stairs and ended up talking to Jesus. He even fed Him with bread and wine (that's why Jesus named him Marcelino Pan Y Vino) And you know it's so -- nakakakilabot. You can actually see the nails from Jesus' hands suddenly vanishing and Jesus was able to go down the cross to eat with Marcelino. In the end, Jesus took Marcelino and brought him to heaven. It's a sad ending but it's a great miracle, right? I was so freaked out while watching, I even had goosebumps! After watching the film, I think I had a "reality check". Harhar. Syndrome of the Moment: the "I'm-so-freaked-out-by-that-film-it's-moving-sobra!" syndrome. Hehehehehe.

KOREAN GUY. Okay so this guy is really FREAKING everybody out. His name is Jun Pyo Park (If I spelled it correctly) and boy, is he a whiz in Math! Well actually, he's not my classmate (I'm in Pullout Fast, he's a Regular) but my friends from Reg said that he was the only one who got the correct answers from the lessons they were discussing for so many weeks now!!! Can you believe it? And I found out he's somewhat related to Jae-yon and Tammy, the Korean sisters who were also new students last year. Why are Koreans invading the country, huh? No offense to them, but I think they're kinda "in" nowadays. I don't know why...maybe because, of Sandara? Harhar. He doesn't know Sandara though (Yes!!! I don't like her *peace*) So is he an official heartthrob now? That is the question. Let's see...if he collects at least 5 crushes just for this week, he can well be compared to Karl. But honestly, Karl > Jun Pyo. Maybe it's just that Karl is my friend, or we have the same name? Naaaahh. Don't think so. Karl really took us by storm. Whatever. I'm just gonna wait till Friday. Syndrome of the Moment: The "Who's-gonna-be-the-Year-I-heartthrob?" syndrome.

SABAYAN. Whooot! Something I'm really excited about. We had our first official practice (Woohoo!) and Ate Fhatz & Ate Jona were there. They're gonna be our trainors. Although we were incomplete (some were also included in the Jingle) we were able to talk about rules, the thrills we were about to experience (harhar!) and of course, voicing (Domineo, Veniteo...Un-dos-tres-quatro-singko...Ho!Ho!Ho!) Nga lang, wala pang mga actions. But that's okay. We can make it. Syndrome of the Moment: the "First-Year-is-gonna-fight-this-year-Yeah!" syndrome.

BEA. We saw her!!! Oh we miss her so much! (I hope she doesn't mind being mentioned here) She's studying in MaSci (Manila Science) right now. Their uniform is blue as in royal blue. She looks so -- different. I mean, if she's not wearing the Paulinian uniform, she doesn't look like Bea. Haha. Whatever. I'm so thankful for the Sabayan practices because I was able to see her. She's waiting for her ate kasi. That was around 5:30. I think we're gonna be seeing more of Bea this week... Syndrome of the Moment: the "I'm-so-happy-I-saw-Bea-again-she-looks-different-but-she's-still-the-same-we-missed-her-a-lot" syndrome *whew!* That was tough.

Today I realized that nothing's better than going back to the place you love second-best: school...and it's so much better when you study in St. Paul! (haha yabang! hey, school spirit guys! hope you understand...) Blaaaahh. *shrugs* I meant what I said!

You might have noticed, I now have Syndrome of the Moment in each topic. Well, I think it's gonna be more organized that way, hindi pakalat-kalat. Haha. So, I really, really hope you're enjoying my blog (and syndromes) Comments, okay?! :)

Byebye!!! Ü

sings before i go to sleep i want to say...

2004-07-18T21:37:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: *yawns* tired & sleepy...

i just wanted to blog just before I go to sleep.

GOOD NEWS. Infrared device working! So I was able to transfer my pics from my phone to the PC then to Photobucket...presto! New pics for Friendster and for the blog! Woohoo! I can't imagine I have over 25+ photos of me, all shot by me! Oh, the wonders you can do when one is really bored.

NEWS FLASH. I memorized 3 stanzas of the piece already! Hooray for me! I'm so happy...see, I told you, I can find time for it. I now have the "I'm-rejoicing-because-I-was-able-to-do-something-I-was-wishing-I-could-do-but-I-didn't-have-the-time-to-do-it-Hooray!" syndrome *whew!* Three cheers. :) I am so happy.

STILL RAINING. Yup. Raining cats and dogs. And that makes me sleepy. So I have to go now. But never worry...I'm leaving a pic right here. Baka kasi ma-miss mo ko eh! Hehe. I guess I won't be able to blog na everyday this week because, voila!, schooldays again and the syndrome ends but a new one arrives: the "I-wish-it's-weekend-already" syndrome. Weird. Totally freakin weird. Tata for now. :)

A pic of me. Pretty?! hehe :)

rain on me: the syndrome special

2004-07-18T17:13:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: cool...and senti.

It's raining. I love rain. The sound of water falling on the ground, on the roof. *drip, drop, drip, drop* The smell of rain fighting the heat. The sight of water falling from the sky. Aaaaahh. So heavenly. Rain. It brings lots of emotions. Hahahahaha. What a senti mood I have today. Weird, huh?! "My-mood-depends-on-the-weather" syndrome. Argh. I don't know why lots of people hate rain. I love it. Its sound reminds me of busy streets and busy people, of traffic and lights. I don't know why but it gives me that kind of impression. Which is why I blogged -- again. Am I blogging too much? Hope not. But there's nothing wrong in that, I think. I just feel like blogging and blogging. The rain just stopped. Actually, it wasn't even rain. It was just drizzling. Oh well, still the same if you ask me.

Buhos pa ulan aking mundo'y lunuring tuluyan...

Rain on me...won't you take this pain from me...

Why do people write songs about rain too much? Haha. I sang the first one that's why it rained. Hehe. Sad but true. *wink*

CORNDOGS. I officially love corndogs. Just now. I ate four. *whoa* We bought a whole box of them from PriceSmart. You know, the heat-in-the-microwave stuff. In school, I also buy corndogs only it's called "waffle". Freaky. I'm wondering, who invented corndogs? Some freakin man that owned a dog who loves corn? Haha. Or maybe his name was Doug. And he loved hotdogs stuffed in bread on a stick. And his wife's name is CORNelia. This is so stupid. Why should I care about the good man who invented corndogs? I don't freakin care. I just wanna thank him for coming up with the idea...and a hundred years later, one girl loved it. harhar.

BIRTHDAY. My real birthday is on October 26, 1991 (I'm just turning 13) But I placed 1990 on the blog application form *lier!* Shhh. It's a secret. Whatever. So I'm planning to just have it here in my house. Of course, I'm gonna invite my friends. It's a Tuesday anyway. I hope they come. Or else I'm gonna develop another syndrome: the "My-friends-didn't-come-to-my-birthday-and-I'm-so-sad" syndrome. But right now, I'm having the "My-birthday-is-coming-I'm-so-excited-I-can't-wait" syndrome. Blaaahh.

THE "SYNDROME-CRAZY" SYNDROME. You might have noticed, these "syndromes" are driving me nuts. I can't help it. It's so -- fun, making up syndromes, which really happens to me and maybe to you. Well, maybe it's not scientifically proven BUT they do come in our lives and sort of, attack us or whatever you call it. Honestly, I enjoy making them. Haha. Syndrome-maker girl. I hope you're enjoying them as much as I do. Syndromes...syndromes...syndromes....aaaahh it's going wild! The "I-can't-stop-making-syndromes" syndrome...totally freakiness. Freakiness Rating: 10/10. This is totally not me.

So...this ends my blog for the moment. Liking my syndromes??? Maybe someday I can make a complete list of all the syndromes I've made. Waaaahh. These syndromes are making me crazy. Think one of these syndromes have infected you? Give me a shout-out and tell me what you have to say. Adios. :)

the long wait ends...

2004-07-18T15:20:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: superb!!!

Haha. I feel really fantastic today. The syndrome finally ends. I saw my friends. Yipee! Well, Jeremy is a sacristan and he served for the 10:00 mass. Missy and I decided to attend the mass and *poof* we saw each other there. Now I'm experiencing the "after-syndrome" Hahaha! Basta right now, I just feel really happy :) at least I saw even just the two of them. Life in St. Paul...you just can't resist the "I-want-to-be-with-my-friends" feeling. Simply amazing (although I'm a Globe user...hehe) Plus, I was wearing my super cool Penshoppe get-up (T-shirt: Beauty, Brains and Attitude. Pants: Denim.)

LTMs. Last night, I talked on the phone until 9:00 pm. Actually that was quite early compared to the other nights when I stayed up until 11:00...late night marathons (LTMs). I can't imagine I can talk about a gazillion things on the phone for hours then end up wanting to talk pa...me and my unstoppable brain (and mouth) I'm Queen of Daldal. Harhar. How I wish the new directress (Sr. Angele) would announce a free day one of these days. Super saya. *wish, wish* hmph. I bet we're not getting one. Maybe sa Intrams pa, for the practices. Argh!

LEADERSHIP TRAINING. Thursday. Yes!!! No classes for all leaders out there! We're gonna be pulled out, I think. And we're gonna have lots of activities. I'm looking forward to it. And the games we're gonna play were the games from Track 2 (Leadership in Dumaguete) and I was only in Track 1 then, so...COOL. Haha. Freakin cool.

STARGIRL. This is my all-time favorite book. (All-American Girl is only second) i read it again out of boredom. It is simply the best book ever. It's a story of growing-up and first love's. Stargirl is just a new girl in a high school and Leo fell for her. Basta, you should read it! The cover is blue with a drawing of a star and a girl (Get it? Star + girl...) Highly recommended.

SABAYAN. I memorized 2 stanzas pa lang...haha. At least I did na. Although the 2nd was not too clear yet. Why?! Something weird happens: when I pick up the copy and start reading it, my heart beats faster, my brain goes thumpety-thump (read: Excitement) I can't stop it. Adrenaline rush pa yata, as some would call it. But it's so weird. I think about the costumes, the actions, the thrill...I think I'm developing another syndrome. It's the "Bigkaser's Too-much-excitement-can't-concentrate" syndrome. Oh man. I'm a Syndrome Girl -- big time. Aaaaahh!

And I just want to announce that my 7650 is alive again because may load na ko!!! Woohoo!!! After the long wait...sorry if I wasn't able to reply if you texted me. The Karlatotz is back. Yeah! :)

SHOUT-OUTS: Thanks to Cathe and Jam for the comments. :) Visit their blogs, okay?!

Ciao, ciao. :)

This pic was taken during our Grade 6 grad (march 2004) :)

P.S. Holler back! Leave your comments. I'm dying to know if you like my blog. Hehe. The "I-wanna-know-if-my-blog-is-cool" Syndrome. Tssss. :)

the i-miss-school-syndrome goes on...

2004-07-17T17:10:00.000-07:00

TODAY I still FEEL: bored...but with a little bit of yearning for rain!!! haha...

it's me again. uuuuhh. why can't i do something?! all i do is watch, eat, blog, watch, eat, blog! haha i'm sick of this...i'm really bored. and to think that i still have 36+ hours before I can go to school again!!! aaaaahh. DAYMN. hate it. uuuuuhh. This blog is really helpful. Something I can spend my whole boring day with (aside from Friendster). Okay, what am I saying?! I'm outta my mind.

DIVISORIA. My mom, titas and lola went to Divisoria today. They bought me DVDs: 13 Going on 30, Ella Enchanted and Along Came Polly. I think I'm going to watch 13 Going on 30 right after blogging. I read somewhere (in the 'Net) that it's a really cool story. I've actually visited the movie's site but I didn't get to play around that long. So that's it. And speaking of Divisoria, I heard (and saw) a video in MTV of a song named DV -- short for Divisoria. Harhar. This country is full of bargain-hunting-ukay2-lover-shoppaholics. They even incade the music scene.

ITSUMO. Aaaaaaahh!!! That song is driving me nuts!!! Itsumo kokoro....please stop it. It's whirling in my head...aaaaahh!!! I can't even understand the chorus part. But my friends say that it's bastos daw...something to do with girls or whatever. Blaaah. Whatever that freaky song means, it's the tune I'm after. Anyway, even though I don't even know what that song is about (or at least just that chorus part, like what I said) it's okay. Remember the F4 days?! *yuck*Just the same...if you're getting me.

Okay so what else can we talk about??? Okay maybe just some UNIMPORTANT stuff that you DON'T need to know, but I'm gonna let you know anyway:

1.) Spiderman is my hero!!!
2.) Tobey Maguire is my future husband!!!
3.) I know the title of the 6th Harry Potter book! (Harry Potter and the Half-blooded Prince...I'm not so sure. Camille just told me...)
4.) I miss school and the things that come with it (yup...the I-miss-school-syndrome is still circulating around my system. It does everytime weekends come...)
5.) I haven't memorized a single stanza from the Sabayan piece -- yet. (Oh, I'm so busted!)

But hey...for the 5th one, I'm gonna do it right after my mind unclogs the boredom it houses right this very minute. I'm still touched by the verse "To the world, you may be one person. but to one person, you may be the world..." I forgot where I came across that. I think somewhere in this web...but I think it's really beautiful. Don't you think so?! Haha...senti. I miss my senti days when I was still in Grade 6...kelan lang yun?! January or February lang, I think...hekhek. Oh well. So much for driving down to memory lane.

And this girl, the girl with a very unstoppable mind...has nothing more to say.
'nuff said.

major boredom...

2004-07-17T13:13:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: b-o-r-e-d...but I don't really know...

I really feel bored. that's why I blogged again. So what? I just promoted (is that the righ term for it?!) this in Friendster. I want people to comment! To know if they really...like (?) the blog. I know I'm gonna make this blog for keeps. So right now, I'm listening to the song Iris...the best song ever! *sings* And I don't want the world to see me, coz I don't think that they'll understand. When everything's meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. *wink* My voice really sounds like a croaking frog! I wish I could go to school and see my friends there. I wish they would call. Oh I miss them -- real bad!

Question: Bakit kapag school days, you look forward to weekends. But when weekends come, you yearn for school days??? I have no idea. I feel so bored during weekends (except when we go out or watch movies), but I feel so tired during the school days. Everything's so...misunderstood. I just don't get it. Basta, right now, I just wanna see my friends. Talk to them, text them or whatever...as long as I'm in touch with them. Part of teen-hood, I think. When you really want your friends so much. Haha. This conversation is going nowhere. Change topic...

"The Me you wanna see is in the B..." did you get it?! The B there was for Blog. Hehe. That was so lame. It just popped out of nowhere. This is what happens when I'm so bored. I do lame stuff. Haha. Forgive me for that. Anyway, I think this blog is going to be really looooooong. But hey! It's worth the read and the time (I think). Let's see...Monday? Practice for Sabayang Pagbigkas again. Oooohh! I'm so excited with that Sabayan thing. I can't believe I'm an Official Bigkaser! *screeches* It's an honor...a priviledge...something you can really be proud of. That's one thing I love about being a Paulinian from Paranaque. I don't think any other St. Paul school has Sabayans during Buwan ng Wika. Well, we do. So I'm so...happy!!! Our practices will be puspusan...until 6:00 pm everyday! Or maybe later pa...But at least, kasabay namin ang dancers for the Centennial...so all my guy friends will also be there and my Pas De Tous friends (haha you know yourselves!) High school life is so C-O-O-L pala...hehe.

I have to go na. I still have to cut out pics of food (THE) and to memorize our Sabayan piece (Isang Dipang Langit) maybe 3 stanzas of it...blog later, i guess?! ciao :)

blogspot!!!

2004-07-17T10:30:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: cute...hehe

whoot...i'm here in blogspot na! bilis noh?! it's because i want to experiment all the blog sites...and i decided to just stay here at blogger. i like it so much better eh...hehe. i moved my recent blogs from blog.com right here. so more or less, this one's updated. i'm just gonna post a note there. anyway, today is what -- saturday? oh shucks i wanna go to school...missy and all the guys are practicing for the Centennial dance, right now. I was supposed to join but, it's not my thing. although...i really want to see them. Maybe I'll drop by later on. Lapit lang naman bahay namin eh. I think our computer got a virus...nahawa sa ken! When I open another window, the previous one closes! Hate it.

I watched Hiram last night. They were DHs there. Kakaloka. I think in the end, Beatrice got the kindest employer. Sofia even fed her alaga with dog food! Freaky. I just miss school -- again. (Sorry for this missing school thing. But ever since SPCP became CoEd this year, sa batch namen...basta!)

Someone just called. And his voice was so scary! He wanted us to meet. But I know he's not a killer or what. I think it's a friend from school. Nagloloko. Pero kahit na. Hate them!!! Prank callers. Whoever that person is, he's gonna be sorry for what he did. whatever...

Blog later. ciao! :)

blurred...

2004-07-16T21:28:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: dizzy...

today was major blur-ness...i mean first, Cori and I made up (long story -- just don't ask) which is good news, second we had a quiz in Algeb in which I got a 12/17...sucks. maybe for you not, but we've been discussing the lesson for over a week now and I still don't get it!!! maybe it's just because i'm half-sick...that's the third one. fourth, the new Korean guy arrived during Algeb (which maybe distracted me even more...) and everyone was so curious who he is. I just know that his surname is Park (uuhh another one of Sandara-connected peepz...) He looks like a teddy bear to me. He's so -- white! And all the people are saying that Karl is "laos" na...no! whatever...fifth, the Sabayan. well okay, everything went just fine...but I JUST FEEL SO DAMN TIRED...that's why it added to the blur-ness of the day. And it was even raining. Right now, I just hung up with my ka-telebabad (pare and best frend)...i love talking on the fone today...especially with new friends (NFs!) oh well...i guess that's it for now...talk to you later...ciao!!! :)

ehem...sniff, sniff!

2004-07-14T20:17:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: very very very sick... :(

durgh...I hate today! I feel so..yuck! I'm sick, with colds and fever...
I think I sound like a croaking frog that ate a sock *uuuhh!* I don't want to go to school tomorrow, if not for that NutriQuiz I have to join. A while ago, my nose can be compared to Rudolph's. And I feel really...BAD! I just wanna lie down and never get out of bed again. Uuuuhhh...I hate this feeling. I've been sniffing the whole day. In GenChem, we had a quiz...I got 3/3 *whoa!* Yeehee! During THE, we were eating choco chips behind Ms. Cullat because we were so BORED!!! And her period was for two long hours! Can you believe it? Good thing in the middle of the period, she let us sing our hearts out with our fave songs (Before I Let You Go, So Slow, Grow Old With You, All My Life...haha!) basta...later n lng ha! i feel really sick na eh!

Tiring Tuesday...

2004-07-13T19:21:00.000-07:00

TODAY I FEEL: tired! lolz
"so many things...so little time!"

hey...today was like SO TIRING! everything was so hectic...but all the while it was fun! In the morning we had Gen Chem but St. Lorenzo had their class mass so, Annsterzz dominated! We checked the papers. I got a 50/50! Woohoo! But only because of a +8...haha! In Cons Math
and we watched a presentation in the IMC, with Lorenzo. Whoot!!! Sir Santos made the presentation, and we had a couple of exercises. But Nica, Missy and I were busy talking about HIRAM...you know, the new drama series in ABSCBN. We were pretending that we're them, because we're so DAMN bored. I am Beatrice (Mickey Ferriols), the "heartthrob" and the pretty one *I enjoy being that type of girl! Hehe!*, Missy was Sofia (Dina Bonnevie) the warfreak *suits her* *peace!* and Nica was Diana (Kris Aquino) because obviously she's her idol...erck! But in fairness, the show was quite cool. No matter how jologs you might think it is. In Filipino with Ms. Pioquid, we just talked about love stuff! She was like, the female version of Joe D Mango! Haha! In English...durgh -- BORING! And in the afternoon, the SC had a meeting that lasted until 6:00 pm! Which was the reason why Pare (Tupe) and Best Friend (Jeremy) didn't wait for me! grrrr. Anyway, I have colds today. I just hope it would go away tomorrow. gotta go. Leave comments, okay?! :)
