If you remember (in my previous post), I wished there will be suspension of classes as soon as possible. And well enough, there was-- but it was so terrible. I wasn't asking for Millenio but for a rest day. Unfortunately, we were attacked by stormy winds with whooshing rain which brought about a Luzon-wide blackout and that lasted almost the whole day. No electricity felt terrible. Good thing, my phone was with me all the way and even though I wasn't able to charge it, it was able to last the whooooooole time.


Weird thing is the sun's already shining despite the horrible weather yesterday. Guess Mr Sun just can't stop himself from shedding light.


Well, the storm was frightening. The winds were strong and can even overturn trucks/cars and even blow off your roof (wow, imagine seeing the sky); trees, billboards and lamp posts even broke down. Man, that's freeeaky.

And yeah, here's something I got from a previous assumptionista's blog :) READ, READ!:)


FOOD
When walking and seeing a friend approaching,
carrying a drink, the AA girl will always ask for
a sip from that drink.
It is perfectly okay to the AA girl to be walking
while eating.

baked mac/spaghetti/carbonara/palabok on top of a

The AA girl will in turn, always offer her food
to someone else.

after school.
The AA girl will bargain with the manangs in the
cafeteria to get a larger quantity of food.
The AA girls always look forward to being the
last person to buy shake or iced tea or baked
mac/spaghetti/carbonara/palabok from a manang
because the manang will always give her excessive
amounts of them, just so all the food would be
finished. No extra charge.


GREETINGS
When walking in the hallway and seeing a teacher,
manong/manang, or visitor approaching, the AA
girl will always smile/nod and greet the person
even if she has no idea who it is.
The AA girl especially loves greeting manongs and
manangs. Daily classroom greetings in grade school would
always be:

Teacher: Good afternoon section __!

Class: (start low pitch, one word ang good at
after) Goodafter (pagdating sa –noon tataasan ang
pitch at elongated ang salita) noooon Ms. _____!

seats.

manangs.

lower than them. When the AA girl reaches Grade 7, she will always
hate Sir Ruel.

though that person is only a year older.
All AA girls treat their friends as sisters.
