i guess you can say i haven't posted in a while. it feels like a month almost, since i last posted. i've spent the whole afternoon in front of the computer screen so my head is starting to ache now. but it is also because of spending so much time on the net that has rekindled my want to blog. i ask you, how can i think about blogging when there are projects to be made everywhere i turn? there just hasn't been any time to think about the day's events and let out my feelings (haha. inside joke). according to my last post, i've been telling you about the getting of cards and the decorations for the parent-daughter bonding. well, the PDB is over. i must say, i wasn't happy at all about how the decorations turned out. no offense to those who were part of the team, but it just looked really tacky. it was not how i imagined it to be at all. blame the lack of ribbon available. that and the fact that i never expected ribbon to be so pricey. so yes, i am at fault. should have used crepe paper instead, oh well. we are an NPO. let me get my calendar to speed you up on things. it has been really useful and reliable so far.
september 15 was when mikka, daryll and lourdes came to my house to do the decortions. it was fun but involved lots of work. we ended up working until 11 in the evening, and we weren't even finished! that must be because we spent lotsa time in national bookstore shopping for materials. we even saw pat evangelista there. daryll got her autograph! that was so insane. truth be told, she's not that big of a celebrity. but hey, a celebrity's a celebrity. daryll had her sign on my 1/2 lengthwise. talk about high school life. things went kinda crazy from there.
i was stressing all next week (after sept 15) because i still didn't have FOB tickets and it was days away. training sort of prevented me from taking a jeepney ride to cubao and getting tickets. another thing that has been clawing at me was that belay still refused to go. i wanted her there but i don't think that the feeling is mutual. her parents being out of town didn't help either. but after lots of sleepless nights worrying about it, my mom finally stepped in and bought mikka and i two awesome tickets, on the day of the concert. insane, right? i can't believe i put it off for so long. but thank heavens that everything fell into place. my mom didn't let me buy a t-shirt though. urgh.
so on september 21, i finally saw FOB live. it was awesome. we did have a run-in with security but we worked our way around that. they confiscated our cameras. naive little girls, displaying their cameras before it even got dark. we sneaked mikka's camera back into her bag before the guard noticed. good thing my camera is so bulky that it passed for 2 cameras. stupid security gurad for not checking. stupid camera guard for believing us. all i can say is, lesson learned. they covered basket case by green day which is pretty special. it was fun overall. i enjoyed hanging out with mikka. i have proclaimed her my official concert buddy. it was fun because everyone was singing along. sigh. i still wish we had vip tickets. we have cool seats but vip is just different.
last week was just brutal. projects needed to be passed, shorts needed to be sewn, compostions had to be completed, and on top of that, it was also our parent-daughter bonding! don't let me forget the speech examination. and on friday, i had a derma appointment! it sounds like a lot when i put it that way, but it sounds like a lot however way i put it. let's just say i never slept earlier than 11. good news regarding the speech exam though, i perfected it! well-deserved too, i might add.
this weekend was supposed to be for IDEA. i didn't attend because of the many above-average projects that needed to be made. i wish the team good luck! hopefully they all break. i miss debate but i i must admit that school is at a higher priority. maybe this kind of mentality is what defeats me as a debater.
i have to go now, but i still want to blog. i won't change my skin because i'm still loving this one. oh, btw, i have plans with sam, belay, and daryll on the 20th of october. it should be fun. perfect opportunity to wear my skinny jeans =) yes, i bought one, out of the kindness of my father's wallet.
mastery tests are coming up, need to bring up my grades. i'm getting nervous.
