i've finally come back to school. its been a good first day. everyone was really complimentary about my new haircut. their compliments made my day. the first day of school this year is the intramurals (intrams). i'm on the suongan team. its a team sport so you can't be blamed on your performance individually (duh). its really just tug-o-war. we've won once and lost twice. ahh, well. at least things are better on the basketball front. thanks to leky and arianne. they really make a great team. the volleyball team also did well. i think they didn't get much success for their first few matches because they lacked support. by the time sam got there, they were pumped and enjoying the game. enjoying what you're doing actually contributes to your success. we had to forfeit for the tiyakad games. we didn't have enough players. at least marta is still all for chess. but she said herself that she doesn't expect to win. who knows?

my dad will be going back to calapan to give his full attention to the business. i hope he doesn't get too stressed out.

all in all, its a fine day.
