i got up at around 7AM today because of cel. that's crazy because i think i slept at around 1:30 (i still don't have a clock in my room). anyway, i got up and took a shower and...i got ready for the 10:00AM ceremony. we (me, ate ida, mom) got there at around 9:30AM. my dad couldn't come because he has some important thing happening in mindoro. i'm honestly disappointed that he couldn't make it. i'm even more disappointed that he didn't even call today. he better make it up to me.

my mom and i talked about finally getting me a new cellphone. it seems completely logical to get a phone now. but then, ate ida comes in and tells me that i should ask for a cellphone when i'm in the 4th year so that when college rolls around, i'll be the one with the coolest-looking phone. damn. that actually sounds kind of logical. what should i do?

the recognition ceremonies went as well as it could have been. i didn't like my hair though. when i was getting ready this morning, i noticed lots of "tutsangs". naturally, i looked for some hair gel to keep them down. i got this bench/fix extra strong-hold tub of gel. it looks so nasty but i figured it would probably do the trick. i put some on the top of my head and proceeded to put the rest of the gunk on my hair. apparently, that's not how you use gel. i ended up having stinky hair but at least it took care of all the hairs sticking out.

we came back to the school after we ate lunch to get my report card paper. we got in, and we got out. i saw bogart, ronnie, monique, kriecia, and carmina. all my grades have improved. except math. from 89 i went down to an 88. not completely terrible considering my knowledge on the subject. the rest of my grades are as follows:
