hello. it's time to wake up again and smell the smell of wasted teenage girls. ewwww.

sorry. first normal day of school today. not really, since it's PICTURE DAY!!! i'm no rachel berry, but i did get my picture taken twice today. one for the class, and one for the theresian magazine. hooray for extracurricular activities! (mouthful, that one)

that picture with the mag saved me from a full-on nap during math class. seriously. i could not keep my eyes open. my lids were so heavy. my eye bags were so heavy. what's a girl to do?? i really tried staying awake. i even wrote done some notes just to get my brain to work. but when i looked back at them, they looked like squiggles made by a first grader or something. a friend who saw it said it was like an ant with ink, if you get that at all.

we got most of our exam results today and my results weren't so bad. they're not so great either. EITHER. EITHER. one more time. EITHER. (eco exam reference)

another false alarm for the ateneo admission results. will they please stop teasing my frazzled nerves? haha. not really. i'm nervous but you should see some of the others. they're total wrecks over this. hahaha!

i realize i have homework to do. so tata for now.

*sigh* will my term paper please write itself? thanksssss!

i don't know what to do to prepare for the acet. take everyone's advice and chill out. or succumb to my habit of cramming. i feel like i need to memorize the equations and stuff. ahhh!

!@#$%#@^!$@^%

currently listening to: wams - fob

i'm too good at invading other people's privacy. tsk. i'm kinda disappointed in myself. i just can't butt out, eh? mea culpa.

tons of homework to get to. i'll do them after this blog post.

the play production i finally over. i'm super surprised that it wasn't terrible. after holding 2 useless practice sessions, we were actually able to get it together during crunch time (haha). nobody forgot their lines. i mean, they did at some point but they were able to say something similar. good job, act III! we killed it! :D

my exam results turned out well. filipino and algeb results weren't so hot though. i'm comparing my grades from the second quarter to the third. i'm not really that grade conscious but i put 'em on the same page in my homework notebook (not on purpose) so i get to do that. got 4 mistakes on the soc sci exam, just like in the last quarter. what's up with that? no improvement? got 2 points less on the religion exam. major improvement in the chem exam. damn. TLE will be bad. anyway, enough about that.

watching pineapple express. not rolling on the floor laughing yet.

currently listening to: good life - kanye west ft. t-pain

we got most of the exam results this week. mine aren't bad. the English result was disappointing. i finally did the speaking task three for speech. i got a really bad question this time. it was: do you think we can learn lessons from nature? after greeting everyone and reading the question, i just concentrated on filling my time. the question is so bogus. i repeated the phrase 'it's a matter of interpretation' so many times. i got an ok grade but i wish i got a better question.

since our english teacher forced encouraged us to make full use of the mini-library, we had to take a book each and read it for the rest of the period. i thought it was gonna be boring because our library didn't have many interesting titles. i went with catcher in the rye by j.d. salinger, owned by my classmate, erika. i always thought that the catcher in the rye used old english. apparently not. it caught my attention so i borrowed it for the weekend. i only wish i would have time to read it. this weekend proves to be jampacked with activities.

in other news, folie a deux's release date will be moved to december 16. too bad.

hey, happy birthday to my dad who turns 56 today!

clearly, i was not happy the last time i posted. exams were on going and i still didn't have tickets to patd.

BUT NOW.

exams are over and i got to go to the concert! i went with mikka, my unofficial "concert buddy". we were nearer the stage this time than at the FOB concert. it was so much fun. the opening act was pretty cool, a band called "crowned king". that's something new. their songs reminded me a little of red jumpsuit but they do have a distinct sound. probably because of their trombone. the singer's voice was also good. album quality, at most.

panic at the disco was so awesome. they played a lot of their songs so i feel the concert was worth every peso. here are the other reasons why i think it was worth going out on a school night:

• they had choreographed lights
• there was a big screen behind them showing misc graphics
  
• brendon's voice was amazing
• they interacted with the crowd a lot
• they made me like them even more!

to be honest, the patd concert was 10x 5x better than the fob one. i love fob but patd was more entertaining. they actually dressed up. fob was in shirts and jeans. sigh. i guess patd exerted more effort.

whichever. i love both bands and i'm so fortunate to have seen them perform live. i sang along to every song i knew. too bad i didn't know all of their songs. i felt like a student who didn't do her homework. i WANTED to sing along to every one of their songs. damn. school work stopped me from drilling all the pretty. odd. songs into my brain. as of now, the drilling is in progress.

the concert was so much fun. being there with mikka was also so much fun. my brother deserves a special mention for being our driver. he didn't have to but he serviced us to and from the concert. thank you, dear brother. i got a poster as a souvenir. i had to take down my harry potter poster to make room for the patd poster. haha. someone's growing up.

mikka took lots of video and i took lots of pictures to forever cement the moment in history. sigh.

we got there at 6:30 pm so we had time to get dinner and wander around gateway. we ate japanese food. i had the effin' gyudon. i was not aware that there would be raw egg involveed. ugh. should have looked at the picture more closely. after dinner, we stopped by fully booked. (excuse the shift in language) himala ng himala! merong The Bell Jar ni Sylvia Plath. pagkatapos kong maghanap ng buong miyerkules sa lahat ng bilihan ng libro, nasa cubao lang pala ang solusyon sa lahat ng problema ko sa term paper para sa english! (back) so i bought the book for a whooping P558. dayum. it was pricey. it better be good.

I would just like to commend Fully Booked for stocking The Bell Jar. I have burned down the phone lines tracking it down in other book stores. Thank heavens you guys still have it in stock. You have saved me and my partner from the old english of Jane Eyre (no offense to Charlotte Bronte). Congratulations, Fully Booked. You are now my favorite bookstore.

since we're in the subject of school anyway, i have three important things to do over the long weekend:

1. religion - prayer service (First Commandment)
2. english - read book for term paper (The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath)
3. filipino - make my monologue (Elias)

i have to get those three things done. when those assignments are done, i can rest. seriously.

ok. i'm going back to Pretty. Odd.

bye!

*oh! i forgot to tell you about the exams. we have all of the results with us. i did ok on most of them. my worst three subjects are advanced algebra, filipino, and religion (worst-bad). hopefully what i did was enough to make the grade. wahhh!

hello!

i finally get to blog again after the exams. it wasn't so bad. i felt only semi-prepared....

ok. i'm not even going to try to make a "normal" post anymore. i'm too agitated that i still don't have PATD tickets. i need mikka to call me now!!! ahhhh! this is driving me crazy.

i think i'm on exam hangover. i keep glancing at the clock, wondering if break time is over and i need to go back to studying.

i can't believe we already have homework. one for filipino and one for PE. that is so inhumane. we just had one hell of a week. that's third year for you.

sigh.

*i'm trying to concentrate on reading breaking dawn. yeah. i read the twilight series. at first i just wanted to know what all the hulla-balloo was and i found myself wanting to know how it all ends. whatever. screw that. i need patd tickets.

i think someone has been let loose inside my head and ate everything up (sam!). honestly. i am considering changing url's. but what the hell for? she already read everything. i just hope to those above that she keeps her mouth shut. i doubt what i've written is hardly something you can easily forget. goodness. i just thought of an awesome reason to change url's. what if she spreads it to everyone she knows and visits it regularly? i'm hoping she doesn't, but i'm totally paranoid. ahh! so, any ideas for a new url? i knew it was a mistake to put the link on the badass blog. stupid, stupid, andrea. right now, i need to study for bio and english. goodness. tons of memorizations. the math exam was hard. i didn't finish. about 5 blanks? 10 wild guesses. 10 mistakes? and that's just the optimistic estimation. hopefully i don't fail it. i'm on rocky ground in math as it is. the filipino exam was as could be expected. odd man out, etcetera, etcetera. the questions were very general which was good.

today was regie's last day. i'm really gonna miss her. we've gone a long way. during grade school, she was someone i borrowed a folder from whn i forgot to bring one. on the first day of high school, she was the one who told me to get out of my seat because a new student has been added to the list (in the politest tone of voice. polite, not friendly). since then, after being forced to do countless number of projects together (because her class number is 3, mine is 4) we've grown substantially closer (i admit, i don't really know what 'substantially' means exactly). it's been fun to make her laugh. i've found she's likelier to laugh at corny jokes than the really elaborate, witty jokes. not that she doesn't get it, she just prefers the corny jokes. hey, that's her sense of humor. come to think of it, all senses of humor appeal to me, except the 'dead baby' jokes (ugh). she's been really fun to hang out with and she's good company. i realize that i'm really gonna miss what we shared. she just turned 15 on the eleventh. she's leaving for bali, indonesia tomorrow for her vacation. (*because of a not so wide jeepney strike, classes were suspended--hell of a lot good that did) so she won't be taking the remaining exams. ahh! miss her already.

i dread tomorrow because we'll have the SEG evaluations then. i have no idea if i'm still part of the debate team. goodness. do i sit with them or the SEG now? ahhh! joining the debate team was a big mistake. urgh!! better let it go now, need to focus on study materials. see ya.

word for the day: paramour-courtesan :)

my friends have made a new blog for all of us to post on. it's pretty cool. the url is badass. check it out. exams are next week. why am i not studying?

currently listening to bleeding love by leona lewis. you can just hear the pain in her voice. i hear this song all the time but it still tugs at me heart.

"i keep bleeding..."

i cannot study. seriously. i've tried and failed. i can't condition myself that exams are 3 days away. whatever happened to studying 2 weeks before the exam? what? to my surprise and utter relief, most two of my classmates haven't studied yet. great. that thought just occurred to me. this is definitely not OS behavior. why, oh why? please temptaions, go away. far from me! i need to study!!! thank goodness the radio won't work, the harry potter books are away from me, i do not own any books which i have not read...that's it. the tv and comp are wide open for my use. ahhh! why is mom not forcing me to study??? damn it!!!! i can't study at all. GOD, PLEASE HELP ME! i don't think i can do this alone. maybe by tomorrow my mind is conditioned enough for me to fully accept the consequences of not studying for the exams. dear lord, dear god, heeeeelp!

we (daryll and I) pranked belay today. we told her i was absent from school. it was elaborately done and i think know she ended up being pissed off at us. i can totally understand where she's coming from. hey, i've been there too. ciara seemed to be sensitive enough not to rub it in my face how much fin they were having in school but the happiness in her voice made me miserable. misery loves company. at least mine does. i'm sure belay's misery is the same (?). isn't it enough that you're totally disconnected from school life...and then your friends decide to be biotches and pull pranks on you. tsk. tsk. haha. i'm writing this for her benefit. but it is true. great. one more thing to worry about. one more pimple on my face.

practical exams are ever looming over my head. btw, classes are cancelled tomorrow for all high school and college students. the only reason i can come up with as to why high school students have the day off is because there are some 15-year old first years out there...i dunno. i think this spells bad news because the quizzes that were supposed to be tomorrow were moved to monday.

speaking of monday, we will have our music practical, pe practical, bio long quiz, etcetera etcetera. dang. more pimples on my face. not to mention tuesday's jam-packed schedule. sigh. my music project is total crap. why can't i have the writing skills of pete wentz? no. bad example. why can't i have the writing skills of a modern-day shakespeare? the PE dance is so confusing. not to mention the fact that we're only in figure 2. thank you PE teachers. i will say no more for fear of getting expelled.

extra news on the practical exam, since we don't have classes tomorrow, the schedule's all fudged up. we now have exams on monday th 13th. that means no weekend of rest, but more studying for math and filipino. honestly! who wished for this? certainly not me. i expected to spend that weekend watching ra-ta-too-ee and the simpsons movie.

in other news, i will have another "bonding session" with my mazha. i want to forget what we're gonna do. i know its gonna be painful. not just psychological pain from embarrassment, but actual, physical pain. argh. and its supposed to be for my benefit.

aigh't bye! ;))

someone from across the street got robbed recently. well, almost. people caught the robber before he actually got his hands on anything. now, he is probably in the big house. serves him right. i'm just thankful it wasn't our house he robbed. he would be stupid to do so anyway. we practically have every light on in our house. no one would be stupid enough to rob a house while people were in it. that would just be pathetic.

in other news, my hair looks good in a high ponytail. haha. total change of mood. =) i'm only able to post this now because my sister has beem hogging the computer from 10 in the morning until 8pm. exams are coming up. ahh! finals! then second year. eep! i wonder what's coming next. i apparently have plans after school this friday. sheesh. how am i supposed to get home? i so do not wanna ride in a jeep. argh! ffff! aight! that's probably it.

extra: kaisel added me on friendster. not exactly newsworthy but whatever. =)
