Badtrip. Tsss. Filipino test will torture me tomorrow, I don't even have intentions to study :P (Get used to it, I'm really like that)
Anyways, I have not yet updated songs to my iPod. I'm not really
that excited to do so. I don't know.. it's quite weird, actually. I mean, now I have iPod, but I don't feel like using it yet. Hahaha! Very foolish of me.
In school, we took our Reading and Language test today. Reading test was pretty much an average one (if I were to rate it). But the selection was
VERY long. (Hey, I mean it. It was lengthy.) Everything was pretty much easy but it was confusing when I came to the
Figurative Language part. Yeah, there are choices ---3 to be exact-- but there are like 6 numbers to answer (with those choices given --synecdoche, allusion, sarcasm).
And it's hard to distinguish which from which. Phff. Another one is the
Poetry Writing. Believe it or not, we were asked to compose a Haiku (3-lined poem with syllables 5-7-5). I know.. it's only short, right? (And might not even take up that much time) But the point is, it's.. well, let's just say, one of the hardest poems to compose probably because of the syllables it must contain on a specific line. Another option would also be the thought of it NOT being literal. Oh my, oh my.. I'm gonna DIE!
Language was harder than Reading. Perhaps, due to the fact that I wasn't able to review much. I mean, I just went through pages thinking that I can handle the intesity of the test. (YABANG!!) No, really.. Language isn't that hard,
YET! I mean, it's more like a review of the lessons we discussed since 1st grade. But, I don't know what happened now. I mean, it's like.. WAY, WAY harder than expected (for me, ah).
Anyhow, AA fair is fast approaching. There'll be
battle of the bands (on Friday) and
variety show, "IGNITE" (on Saturday). Well, 7th graders will also have their booth. :P
And yeah, plus the sub-booths. Oops! We haven't finished planning yet. Oh my God.. CRAM!!!

If yesterday, my Dad got me the iPod Nano, today.. I have two
boyfriends. (Angal ka??)
Special mention....
(Hahaha!)
Hey, Brian...Hey, Calvin... :P
Bahala ka if you wouldn't want to believe!! All I know is that they go wherever
I go. Well, we're quite tight. :P

I HAVE AN iPod NANO!!!It's black.:PI got some accessories:- the dock
- speakers (i soooo luv `em)
- pink armband (there's no "apple green" one.. but if ever they release it here soon, I'll get it still :P)
- crystal case (for protection..)
Sadly, I don't have the rubber case (is that what you call it) yet. My dad said it's safer to get the crystal case.
Hahaha!
Geez. Sometimes my dad can spoil me toooooooo much. I just luveeeeeeeet!

For the past days, I've been drunk with
Watermelon Shake. Ever since my Dad brought them home, I never put my shake down. Lunch (with the exception of weekdays), merienda and dinner.. you count `em. Of course, there are still water breaks in between. I wouldn't want to choke myself with it. Hahaha!
And yeah, honestly, I've been watching on my fats-slash-calories intake. I mean, a while ago, I ate junk food and I afterwards, I went straight to the stationary bicycle and did my job. Burned the fats, for your information. It's quite exhausting, really. I only stayed for about 40 minutes on it.
Okay, I'll just make a rundown of the events that occured this week. Hell yeah, it
was trying to kill me. Phff.
WednesdayWe had fun during HELE. You know, trying out the sewing machine and all. Luckily, Ms Cora easily forgets things. I mean, she didn't remember that she told everyone to bring a
sewing kit. Hahaha. (To all of 7-4 who forgot to bring `em:
Wow, you guys are soooooo lucky!!!)
Anyway, we had quite an "issue" to work on before we were dismissed for lunch. Sir Ruel talked to us, the officers (one of the hardships of being an officer), regarding the
Mission Envelopes he was suppose to be collecting by the end of the day and ours wasn't complete yet. Of all the sections, we are the ONLY one who hasn't completed it (as usual). Majority of our classmates haven't submitted theirs yet. So.. we (officers) received quite a "warning" from Sir. He told us that
by tomorrow morning (Thursday)
he should have it, or else we'll get a minus 15 in our report card grade. Yeah, that's -15 for everyone. God, I didn't know teachers have that MUCH power. But still, it's seems unreasonable for me. Really. But the bottomline is, he's the teacher.. so he can do whatever he wants. :(
ThursdayTo our surprise, everyone brought their
Mission Envelopes. So, the
issue about it was clear. No -15's for us. Oh yeah!
Thursday, we also had a quiz on AP. Gaaaaaaaaad, I am the
WORST student of all. I'm
failing. Argh. I hate it. I don't know.. why do I have to fail during the 3rd quarter? I mean, I was doing good during the first and second quarter (I think). But now, I'm.. simply.. failing.
FridayOne of the
horrible days of my
entire life. We all got our Quiz 1 & 2 score (in Math). I'm so
stupid, stupid, stupid. Why do I have to be so, so
careless. Man.. that's really one thing I hate about myself! I only forgot to put a
dash on whatever word, then I get a minus one. Sheesh. I guess I need another eye for skimming and going over my test papers. You never know, it might be helpful, really. Hahaha!
And another thing I hate about myself:
my ability to cram. Yeah.. that's another thing I have to work on. *sigh*
Well, we presented in Filipino. I was
Don Juan. But as to how it turned out, I looked like a
gay prince. Really, I do! Even my classmates say so. My costume was actually funny. It doesn't give me the "prince" look. In fact, I was even force to wear my Mom's boots (which by the way almost killed me by the end of the presentation). Its heels were high. Ugh. My feet hurt afterwards.
To tell the truth, I'm not really 'that' satisfied with our group's presentation. Maybe, if we just put our hearts into what we're doing and didn't cram (believe it or not, we only had the script finished during the day itself). I'll forever hate myself if I encounter one of these again.
------------------------------------------------
Basically, there are a lot of things I learned this week:
- apply for a third eye (not the spooky kind) for skimming through pages since my two eyes seem so blind to see such small details
- don't ever, ever wear high heels again because they tend to kill your feet afterwards
- don't ever dress up like a guy because it'll never work out (if ever, I'll end up making the person look gay)
- I'm not really fit for a PRINCE. Well, if you add two "S's" it'll be better, I guess
- I'll ALWAYS check my answers 5 times and that way, I'll lessen the space for mistakes

Nothing's better than being pulled out of class for two and a half subjects. *sigh* Being a JSCAA officer
does have a positive side (I just don't seem to focus on them). It's good actually. But sadly, I missed quite a
LOT. There's this activity for both Reading and Oral English which we have to finish by next week (if I'm not mistaken). Oh god, I
did miss a lot.
But actually, the time we spent with Sr. Irene (the principal) was quite good. Well, okay.. during the first hour it was, but I kind of got out of focus afterwards since I wasn't able to take my recess (due to the endless presentations for the day) and my tummy was grumbling real loud. Atleast, it's loud for me then.
It wasn't long `til I found out it was time for lunch. We were, honestly, dismissed 10 mins. after the expected time. Geez. So, obviously, I was soooooooooo hungry. (You wouldn't like to see me
that hungry. I tend to gobble up everything. You wish :P) And exactly after the meeting, Ms Ruadap went in the room and showed us the t-shirts, dog tags (am I right?) and keychains. Believe me, it's COOOOOOOL. I luveet! I'm planning to get all three for myself. (I hope I still have the money to purchase them. Hahahahaha!)
Well, I better stop this here. My, my.. I still have a Reading homework to accomplish. Sheesh.

I was
supposed to be home early today since we only had
half-day in school. But because of the responsiblity of such a JSCAA officer, I was required to attend the
Spiritual Enrichment of the Faculty and Staff and of the sisters (of Assumption Antipolo) as well. I never thought that the
student council would be required to attend such an activity. Atleast, I never heard we were to come, not until Wednesday the 9th. And, as to how Ms. Ruadap told us, it was a
requirement. So, I had no excuses reasonable enough to spill. I was stuck with a decision of a
yes. Of course, who would like to attend a
Spiritual Enrichment with a different atmosphere! I mean, the people you're with are teachers
and sisters. Do tell me how can you relate with them, uh? It was quite scary, really
The moment we reached the Mini-Theatre we were asked to sit beside a teacher or a sister or a parent. No students can sit together. But luckily, Ayna and I were with Ms. Ruadap. Hahaha. Atleast, I didn't get to sit anywhere beside
any unknown teacher. That would be so, so challenging. And, afterall, I wouldn't have any guts to do so.
The talk was good. In a way, it didn't bore me. There were, infact, laughtrips in between the talk. The sister was talking about interesting stuffs. Gee, how I wish all sisters are like that. Haha. But the said event ranged from three to three and a half hours. I know, I know.. it sounds too long, eh? But the bottomline is
: I SURVIVED.
Fortunately, there was a break. A 15-minute break. And that time, Sir Ruel asked me to share about my experience (of this event) to the class (7-4) on Monday. Geez, I hope he'll forget about it. But, to be sure, I'll make a script if ever he asks me to make a speech or share about it.
*Sigh*
If we go several steps, back to the start of the day.. the moment I reached school, I knew it would be a tough day. It's a Friday.. do expect the worst!! Hahaha. And really, it was. It was.
First of all, the write-up for the yearbook, gee.. I was assigned to do it because the person who should make one for me didn't make it interesting at all. And Ms Lith instructed me to edit it (or if I want, I can TOTALLY change it) because it doesn't create an impact to the reader. From my own POV, I thought it was unfair because I already made my write-up for the person whom I should give one. In short: I've done my part. And what's worse is that I was the one who stayed up late for it, just to, you know, pass something and not have a failing grade. In other words: I made a grade for her. And now, I'm feeling totally mad about myself. Argh. I mean, how could I have been fooled?? Sheesh.
Second. Ms. Martinez wasn't around so our double period in Math was.. wasted. Er, we weren't able to finish checking all because everyone was noisy and only a handful paid attention. Honestly, it's hard taking control of our class. It's just.. hard. Hahaha. We're noisy, I know that for a fact (and many teachers dislike us for being too noisy and for having the most number of late submissions, lowest grades, etc). But still, despite all these.. I love 7-4. I really do. It's my class, what do you expect?
Well okay, let's stop here for now. I'll make a PROPER post some time. But not probably this weekend, I have a LOT of things to do. Bummer.

Surprise!
I'm back on track.
