                <description><![CDATA[ Kalamidad, Kasiraan, Kalikasan<br /><br />Ika Â 26 ng Setyembre, 2009 Â Pilipinas. Nang magising ang mga residente sa Metro Manila, ikinagulat nila ang lakas ng buhos ng ulan at ihip ng hangin na dala ng Bagyong Ondoy. Ilang oras pa lamang ang nakakalipas, halos lumubog na ang isang lungsod. Sa ibang bahagi naman ng Asia at ng mundo, nagkaroon ng ibaÂt ibang uri ng kalamidad. Sa mga pulo ng Samoa at Sumatra, Indonesia, nagkaroon ng lindol na may lakas ng Âmagnitude 8.0Â, pagkatapos nito ay tinamaan naman sila ng isang ÂtsunamiÂ. Sa America naman ay sunud-sunod ang matitinding sunog sa estado ng California. Ito ang mga nangyayari sa kasalukuyan; bagyo, lindol, ÂtsunamiÂ at mga sunog.<br /><br />Ayon sa data mula sa gobyerno noong ika-29 ng Setyembre, 2009 mayroong 246 na taong namatay, 38 taong nawawala at 5 nasaktan dahil sa Bagyong Ondoy. Sa Samoa at Sumatra, mayroong 1292 taong namatay dahil sa ÂtsunamiÂ at lindol noong ika-30 ng Setyembre. Ang mga ipinapakita ng mga statistikong ito ay maliit na porsiyento lamang ng epekto ng mga kalamidad sa ating mundo. Masasabi nating talagang nagdurusa ang mga tao pagkatapos ng isang kalamidad. Maraming namamatay, maraming nasasaktan, pisikal man o emosyonal. Ang mga negosyo ay bumabagsak dahil sa mga nasirang produkto at nawawalan ng hanapbuhay ang mga trabahero. Sa ating paligid ay makikita ang mga nasirang gusali, mga natabunan ng putik o kayaÂy lupa at mga punong nakakalat na lamang sa kung saan-saan.<br /><br />Maraming taong nagtataka kung bakit ito nangyayari sa kanila, inosente naman sila, wala naman silang ginagawang masama ngunit hindi nila naiisip na hindi lamang sila ang tanging apektado, hindi lamang sila ang tanging pinagbibintangan. Nakakalimutan nila na mayroon pang ibang rason kung bakit tayo natatamaan ng sunud-sunod na kalamidad.  Mga rason tulad ng polusyon, sobra-sobrang pagkuha ng likas na yaman at ang pagiging makasarili ng tao. Dito pa lamang sa Pilipinas, kahit saan ka man tumingin, makikita mo ang mga basurang nakakalat lamang sa kung saan-saan. Mayroon ding mga motoristang walang pakialam sa binubugang nangingitim na usok ng mga sasakyan nila. Ang mga ginagawa nating polusyon ay dumaragdag pa sa mataas na lebel ng polusyon sa buong mundo. Hindi natin namamalayan na untiunti na nating sinisira ang kalikasan; hindi natin alam na ang basurang ikinakalat at iniiwan sa lupa at karagatan ay nagpapakawala ng mga delikadong kemikal na makakasama sa lahat. Alam nating lahat na ang mga bansa ay mayroong mga napakaimportanteng likas na yaman. Tama lamang na kunin natin ito at gamitin dahil tayo na din naman ang may ari nitong mga ito ngunit minsaÂy sumusobra na ang pagkuha natin na hindi na natin inaalala ang mga maarang mangyari dahil ditto. Halimbawa, ang tinatawag nating Âillegal loggingÂ. Dahil ginugusto ng mga negosyante na makakuha sila agad ng maraming pera, kukuha sila ng maraming maari nilang ibenta tulad ng punong-kahoy. Sa mga napagaralan natin sa asignaturang Siyensiya, alam natin na ang ugat ng halaman ay siyang humihigop ng tubig mula sa lupa. Ang mga puno sa mga bundok at gubat ay ang sumisipsip ng tubig sa mga masmababang lugar ngunit dahil sa ginagawa ng taong sobrang pagkuha ng puno, nagkakaroon ng baha sa mga lugar na hindi naman dapat mabaha at gumuguho ang lupa sa mga daanang malapit rito. Sa mga ipinakitang halimbawa ukol sa polusyon at sa sobra-sobrang pagkuha ng likas na yaman, maari nating sabihin na ang pinakapanimula nitong lahat ay ang tao. Tao dahil makasarili tayo, tao dahil pabaya tayo. Iniisip na lamang natin ang kabutihan ng sarili, at binabalewala ang paligid. Hindi ba natin naisip kailanman ang pagsira natin ng kalikasan ay ang magiging dahilan ng ating paghihirap?<br /><br />Isipin natin at balikan ang nakaraan; tingnan natin ang buhay noon at ang buhay ngayon. Noong unang panahon, pinahahalagan ng mga tao ang kalikasan hindi lamang dahil itinuturing nilang mga Diyos at Diyosa ang mga ito, ngunit dahil na din sa kaalaman nilang hindi sila mabubuhay kapag itoÂy nawala sa kanila. Alam nila na ang kalikasan ay nagbibigay-buhay sa kanila. Dito nila nakukuha ang pagkain, tirahan, pananamit at hanapbuhay. Hanggang ngayon naman itong mga ito, hanggang ngayon naman, ang kalikasan ay siyang nagbibigay buhay sa atin ngunit dahil sa kaunlarang nararamdaman natin sa teknolohiya at iba pa, iniisip na lamang natin na ang kalikasan ay isang bagay na kayang-kaya nating ipagwalang bahala. Aantayin pa ba natin ang katapusan ng mundo bago tayo magbabago? Kung ngayon pa lamang, ganito na ang lebel ng kasiraan dulot ng mga kalamidad, paano na ang mga susunod pa?<br /><br />Salamat sa inyong oras at magandang umaga/hapon sa inyong lahat.<br /><br />-<br />-<br />-<br />-<br /><br />HOGEHD. I don't think I'll survive memorizing that. DON'T CRITICIZE! HAHA! DISCLAIMER: HINDI AKO MAGALING MAGSALITA NG TAGALOG...OR WRITE IT DOWN ON PAPER. SOBRANG LITERAL TRANSLATION NA LANG NGA EH! WAHAHAHHAA!<br /><br />it's freaking 2.5... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Summer was supposed to be over by now. But because of Influenza A(H1N1), classes were pushed back a week for us. Oh and did I mention, when we DO go back...we have this A(H1N1) protection kit? Thermometer...medicine...tissue...hand sanitizer/alcohol. WHICH will be checked by the advisers EVERY SINGLE DAMNED MORNING. <br /><br />I mean. What are we? CHILDREN?! We're freaking seniors already. We don't need people to tell us when to take the damned temperature.<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />So, because school was pushed back a week, I had to find a way to keep myself entertained without really disturbing anyone else in the house. <br /><br />(They actually figured out that I painted some parts of the furniture in the guest room BLACK...AND they made ME scrub it out. Well, I took the easy way out, I used acetone. 'Course...the wood's not looking all that fine anymore BUT with a few obstructions here and there, you won't even be able to tell the difference.)<br /><br />So, I decided on watching Hetalia: Axis Powers...and reading it. I love it! So funny! I wonder why I didn't go reading it LAST YEAR when we were studying World Wars.<br /><br />Well. Today's probably my last day of rest. Tomorrow I have to go out and go to the gym (because my mom thinks it helps) and on Wednesday, I have to get to a meeting for school...Thursday, I actually have to GO to school and CLEAN. CLEAN. But it's going to be worth it...I mean, who wants to have meetings in a disgustingly grimy/dusty place right? Anyway...Friday I get to go out and go to my doctor to make myself immune to flu for a while...then Saturday I prolly have to go to the gym again even if I don't want to...and Sunday. Well.<br /><br />Since everyone's home. It's not much of a rest day.<br /><br />Seriously. These people don't understand that my idea of vacation is just lazing around with my laptop, a TV and some DVDs. Doing nothing all day but lie down and maybe doodle for sometime. NO! THEY WANT ME TO MOVE IT.<br /><br />When I turn legal, these people are never ever ever going to see me again. I'll return like...20 years later when I need cash or anything.<br /><br />Oh. But wait.<br /><br />Taking over the world will take a lot of time. Make that 50 years. When I co-rule the world with <a href="http://mono-tone.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/mono-tone.gif" alt=":iconmono-tone:" title="mono-tone"/></a>. <br /><br />Yep. You know that giant Gundam they're making? We're going to hijack that and use it to take over Russia. Why Russia? Well...Russia's Russia. It was her idea. Anyway, all that came after we finished watching Terminator Salvation.<br /><br />I need to get out more...<br /><br />**sighs**<br /><br />Or maybe just watch more kung fu movies? INDEPENDENCE DAY IN 4 DAYS! <br /><br />**sobs**<br /><br />WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO SOME DRILLS FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY! IT WAS GOING TO BE THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS FOR US! Oh well. We'll try again in Pinaglabanan Day instead. <br /><br />(To my honeybabes: I hear they're actually going to let us MARCH this time. Even in CTK!! But I'm not completely sure about that...it could be wrong. You know how old she is.)<br /><br />-RyuHiMi...OUT!-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WELL OH MY GOD.<br /><br />After like 3 weeks of preparations and heavy duty training...it's finally over! YES! FINALLY OVER! And although we didn't win...officially...we're still winners at heart. <br /><br />SOBRANG...WOAH grabe, pare.<br /><br />Practicing, we were never really complete for practices...it was just today that we were finally able to come all together and practice for real and in the end it worked out. It was soo nice and we received GREAT comments!<br /><br />I'm so happy I made that zuluberty up! They were like...WOW ang galing! And the h-test, WOW. Comments din! Since no one was laughing at all, they said...wow, tigas ng zulu. WATCHASAY? <br /><br />YES! And we were the company who had to stand in attention for the longest time possible! I swear my feet still hurt! And although we gave some wrong answers during the t/m-test, we were still able to remember what we stayed up all night to memorize!<br /><br />THEN THE marchings, well...I've never really been good at that so I guess that it was my fault we made mistakes. Yes, the marchings weren't perfect but at least we did it well. Comments again! They said we were...amazingly pantay and at the same time.<br /><br />OHYES.<br /><br />So we stood up for another few minutes, like 16 minutes standing in attention? Mind you, I was wearing combat boots! My feet seriously hurt now.<br /><br />Anyhoo and our turn at last for the r-test, and we did it well! Although my bandaid came off...in the end.<br /><br />It was getting loose and I had this cut on my thumb from tying up the combat boots. Yes, I know...I'm accident prone. C: oh well.<br /><br />Then the BIG thing! 120 counts silent drill! THE THING WE WORKED SO HARD FOR ALL THOSE WEEKS! ALL THOSE SATURDAYS SPENT MAKING THE DRILL AND PERFECTING IT!<br /><br />It wasn't perfect but then again, nothing is! We still have 5% human error!<br /><br />And then we were allowed to rest for 3 minutes and finally, we talked. We didn't blame each other, instead, we were complaining on how much our arms and legs hurt. But as asst. commander, I gave a pep talk with the commander. LOL<br /><br />Doesn't matter if we win or lose, because in the end we're all winners.<br /><br />That was our winner line! C: And then they announced the winner...surprisingly not very sadly, not us, but the one next to us, Yankee. Personally, theirs was nicer...more organized and stuff. <br /><br />So there, in the end we still got our merits and promos! YUP! SO PROUD OF YOU ZULU! Everyone made it!<br /><br />And of course, my lovely honeythrees!! ONE MORE TO GO! LESS THAN A MONTH, 3 WEEKS LEFT! BTW, honeys, we need a name!<br /><br />--------------<br /><br />I LOVE YOU ZULU!<br /><br />You really gave me the ULTIMATE PLEAZURE EKZPERIENZ. No one can ever beat our company's laughter and cheer and bond! Sobrang close natin and we have our own random moments of insanity, especially since we have superstar gab with us, si elizabeth and stephco. RANDOM na nga, CRAZY pa! But I love it!<br /><br />Sobrang mamimiss ko kayo! As in swear! Whatmore kay DIOREZALLEN?<br /><br /><3DANADANIELLEUYZAMZON. ILZ.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yesterday, we were called to participate in Pinaglabanan Day! Whoo. At first we thought, hey it'll be just like CTK but then...it wasn't.<br /><br />We were made to wait under the sun in N.Domingo for 2 hours. 1 hour of which, we were standing up! Until we were given the order to fall out and sit down on the bangketa (or sidewalk).<br /><br />There were other schools there...like...San Juan National High School. They've got a good CAT thing going on...and Fountain International School, they were speaking some European language that even I could not distinguish.<br /><br />So while we were under the sun, wearing shirts that exposed our names to the whole world, we chatted about random things. We got darker, I've got a tanline now...and eventually we put our backs against each other to cover the names.<br /><br />Our commandant later ask us why it was taking so long...and from the students at the other schools, we were able to get that...<br /><br />The mass had taken too long.<br /><br />A parade of trucks took place.<br /><br />The military marching band or drill team (whatever you call it) was there, performing and took up time.<br /><br />And there were little boy scouts and some karate kids partaking as well.<br /><br />When we were FINALLY called to fall in again, we were told to march but we all ended up walking because the parade kept stopping and going.<br /><br />Oh and you know how Filipinos are, they take pictures of unknown people. LOL. We heard several exclamations of..."UY! ICA, ICA!" and then they took pictures of us...marching/walking forward with the school flag.<br /><br />I saw the mayor of San Juan but we all didn't care. We went into the garisson and were supposed to plant trees there but then our commandant wanted to go home so...we rode back to ICA. Took our food...but before that, we saw military jeeps and wanted to try riding in one.<br /><br />I think that the guys riding it were amused with us 'cause we were waving and pointing and saying, "Yan na lang sakyan natin pauwi!" and one of them actually asked us if we wanted to. But...safety comes first so...we couldn't.<br /><br />We crammed ourselves into two vans, rode back with our food...and ate it in ICA, under the gallery.<br /><br />Inside the styrofoam containers were: 2 pieces of longanisa, one hard boiled egg, rock salt, and a big serving of rice. We wondered who cooked it because it looked like military rations. LOL. And the people who gave it to us were the military personnel.<br /><br />In anycase, since I don't eat longanisa anyway, I peeled off the shell of the egg and ate it with like one third of the rice before putting the food into the leftover bin and going off to wait for my sister to fetch me.<br /><br />Now that I think about it, it's actually quite fun. I love it. I hope next year, we get to wear our fatigues and march with our combat boots killing our feet despite wearing 3 pairs of socks.<br /><br />I shall update this journal soon...or in 3 months. Busy schedules have taken over my 3rd year brain...I'M FAILING MY SUBJECTS! Like omg! Low scores on the card!! (Low for my mother's standards...which also became mine so...LOW!)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I remembered today...Ugong the Dugong said last year:<br /><br />I AM YOUR COMMANDANT! YOU LISTEN TO ME AND ONLY ME!<br /><br />That's just so weird. She's our commandant alright...but she doesn't do very well as a commandant. She's nice in PE class but outside, she has these really strange moodwings...<br /><br />And I realized...<br /><br />That no matter how long she's been doing aerobics for PE class...I think it's been past 10-15 years? Longer than I was born pa...anyway...no matter how long she's been doing that...she hasn't gotten any thinner...she just got flabbier.<br /><br />Flabby na nga siya...dugong pa siya.<br /><br />And so while searching for some information online...I came across around 4 blogs...2 of them being from a couple of people I knew last year and the other 2...one of them is my friend's older brother and the other one is the brother's friend. yeah.<br /><br />So they were all dissing their commandants.<br /><br />And so I realize...the XS COs are having the same problem as the ICA COs. SAME THING.<br /><br />HONESTLY. STUPID COMMANDANTS.<br /><br />WHY DON'T THE TWO OF THEM JUST END UP TOGETHER, GET MARRIED AND LEAVE THE PHILIPPINES FOR GOOD?<br /><br />And our commandant is always 'nagpaparinig' to me in PE. HECK. What do I care? WHY should I LISTEN to what YOU say when YOU DON'T LISTEN to what WE say?<br /><br />Just because it's PAASCU year doesn't mean that the school should CHANGE everything. Even the welcoming rites have changed!<br /><br />In our time, when we were first years, we were SHOUTED at, HUMILIATED and made to do weird things. It's been like that since the 80's I think or the 70's and then suddenly...this year...the freshmen just get smiles and 'happy' senior achis.<br /><br />Where's the fun in that?<br /><br />Senior year is the most anticipated year for most of us ICAns and one of the reasons for that is because of the initiation. AND THE FRESHMEN THIS YEAR HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE!<br /><br />You tell them to do something, they hit you with a book and cause a scar to appear on your arm. DAMN IT. and they DISRESPECT the seniors! AND!<br /><br />THEY SAID THEY'LL BEAT US IN INTRAMS!<br /><br />So see this batch of freshmen are the ones who needed the tough initiation with the screaming, shouting and humilitation. They need discipline but nooooo since last year SOMEONE from the batch lower than us COMPLAINED that the seniors MADE HER CRY.<br /><br />Hello? As if in our batch no one cried?<br /><br />THIS YEAR has been NOTHING but PROBLEMS.<br /><br />But what I don't understand most of all is why the commandant doesn't want to hand us over to the officers. Perhaps it is because she is paranoid and everthing...or maybe lonely because she doesn't have a husband or kids...or a friend OUTSIDE the gym...well she's best friends with my classmate's dad but still...<br /><br />If she was a good commandant, we wouldn't mind being under her siguro...if she was a good one. But the fact is, she's lazy and she just sits while we 'take turns' commanding ourselves. HECK. She even got the ex-ex-officers to come and TRAIN us. <br /><br />LAZY!! Do it yourself if you want us to OBEY you with no complaints.<br /><br />So this year. I suppose we'll have to do our best to get on her good side and get her to put all her trust on us so that next year it won't be hard on the future COCs. Or maybe she'll retire next year and we'll get a new commandant...but I highly doubt that. She's the 'epitome of health' after all.<br /><br />AND SHE HATES INSTANT FOOD! She told us that after a 15 minute long prayer during PE Class two weeks ago.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I hate my class.<br /><br />I seriously hate my class.<br /><br />They're NOISY. They're UNRULY. They're STUPIDLY INSANE. They're rather MEAN.<br /><br />How many times have teachers scolded us? We're supposed to be quiet. For once in my life, I was supposed to be in a quiet class where learning is EASY because there is NO NOISE. <br /><br />Is sorry enough? Is saying "Teacher, on behalf of the class, I'm sorry." enough when you're not even the President of the class? Is it enough to say sorry to the teacher when you know that you'll be doing it again? Wouldn't action be better?<br /><br />Wouldn't shutting up be better?<br /><br />During free periods, isn't it better to at least read the book report or maybe Noli Me Tangere instead of SINGING IN CLASS WITH VOICES THAT AREN'T EVEN IN SYNC. <br /><br />I hate them.<br /><br />They're NOT CONSIDERATE.<br /><br />Sure they make noise. Sure they do that, do this, they do it because they know that they won't take the full blunt of the anger and rage that will come from the higher ups.<br /><br />But to whom will all that anger, rage and blame go to? To us COCs that's who.<br /><br />I predicted a little earlier during lunch, that we will be given a sermon-like thing. Papagalitan kami, in short. Well, it happened. Sort of.<br /><br />A lot of things happened this week.<br /><br />This week just isn't a good week...It's been a bad one from the start.<br /><br />AND THE THING PA KANINANG DISMISSAL.<br /><br />I feel guilty.<br /><br />But I also feel pissed off to hell.<br /><br />Would silencing the class cause you to be mataray? Would you be 'like a tyrant' if you say, KEEP QUIET! to your class? You wouldn't. You should even be given a little bit of credit because you're being considerate. You think about other people, what if they want some peace and quiet?<br /><br />Why is it that we who always try to do good are always given the positions of those who do bad things?<br /><br />What's more is that just because I'm a COCC I can't enjoy life? Kapal ng taong nagsabi na'n sa akin. I hate her from the bottom of my heart.<br /><br />My patience is long, I can hold my rage. But there is a limit, there is a line. And she just crossed that line, not only crossed it pa nga eh. <br /><br />SHE CROSSED THE LINE AND WENT BACK AND DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN FOR 100 TIMES.<br /><br />It hurts to see that the people you're trying to make better are the ones who are trying to pull you down and make you seem like the bad guy.<br /><br />@#$%*! I want to shout curses at them but I can't. I know I shouldn't...So maybe I should kind of talk to them about it? Or something, I don't know. Talking would get us nowhere if they're not willing to listen.<br /><br />Haaay buhay.<br /><br />Let's just hope that next week will be better.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't wait for October 2008.<br /><br />As the title suggested, I have been anxiously awaiting Gundam 00's second season, after having watched the entire first season yesterday.<br /><br />Currently...my favorite character list goes like this:<br /><br />1. Haro, definitely Haro the robotic ball of noise.<br /><br />2. Tieria Erde, because I dunno, he just is.<br /><br />3. Hallelujah Haptism, despite the fact that he died in the end.<br /><br />4. Lockon Stratos, yet again, one who died in the near end of season 1.<br /><br />5. Setsuna F. Seiei, because he's a protagonist that I'm pretty sure will come back in season 2. He is NOT M.I.A. I don't believe it.<br /><br />6. Allelujah Haptism, yeah...Hallelujah isn't his brother, more like his other self? The crazier, instinct ridden guy. Allelujah is too gentle when he's...well...Allelujah.<br /><br />7. Graham Acre, because he's got the mask on. Yeah, it's never really a Gundam series without a blonde guy in a mask.<br /><br />And now my prediction, my weird predictions, for season 2:<br /><br />** I'm just guessing here, so don't take it seriously. I've been using Adobe CS3 for six hours now and my brain is overloading**<br /><br />++Saji Crossroad will pilot a Gundam.<br />++Setsuna F. Seiei will come back.<br />++Marina Ismail's country, Azadistan, will suffer<br />++Tieria Erde will be cooler, especially now that he's got Lockon-like hair.<br /><br />And what I want to see are these things:<br /><br />*Saji VS Tieria for Louise Halevy.<br />*Saji VS Setsuna for...well...because of the war and all.<br />*Lockon somehow survies the explosion and returns.<br />*Hallelujah returns to Allelujah's mind.<br />*The incident that Sumeragi Lee Noriega and Billy Katagiri talk about.<br />*Graham grow more hair under that mask of his.<br />*Tieria's ability to directly interface with Veda be returned.<br /><br />Oh well...I'm pretty sure that possibly none could turn out. But I bet myself 100.00 pesos that Saji will pilot. Yeah...if you think that's insane, then you'll think this is crazier...<br /><br />I played Chinese Checkers against myself one day, three player. The players were:<br /><br />me: blue<br />myself: yellow<br />I: red<br /><br />Yeah, I won, followed by me and then myself came last. If it confuses you, don't worry, because it confuses a lot of other people too. And if you wonder why I decided to play by myself, and three player nonetheless, it was because my co-worker and the girl from the other classroom were playing chess.<br /><br />Yeah, we were playing Uno the first few days but then Ms. Tan came over and told us that we were being like real workers, so we switched to chess, checkers, connect 4 and other bored games...oops, I mean board games.<br /><br />And honestly, you'd think that PARENTS would read the sign that said GRADE 1 before giving us the claim forms that say: Grade 6 or High 3 or Grade 4. Geez...<br /><br />And a bat was thrown into the canal when it flew in around the corridor during day time. Manong slammed his slipper over it and it fell, actually, I thought that it was a bird at first and when it fell into the chair, I thought it was a feather, but then it turned out to be a bat...it was small, must've been a baby bat. Two days later, a bigger bat came...yeah. Panic at the corridors.<br /><br />Well that's about it...nothing else happened. Except for that one afternoon the girls from the uniform place deicded to do something. On that day came "Project Runway: Payatas Edition" (because they used ripped up plastic bags to dress the girls up)<br /><br />That's it. All of it. <br /><br />Bye...for now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My feet are dead.<br /><br />Officially.<br /><br />I thought that the variety show was the worst thing that could happen to my feet...but apparently not. Today starting from around 0900H, I wore the combat boots. Yes, boots. I wish I put foam under it, because I am really, really, really regretting now.<br /><br />My feet aren't completely dead...just hurts so much!<br /><br />And to think I stood for around 6 hours?<br /><br />Then the weather, it's always so hot. So we were all wearing our jackets, pants with more than one pair of socks...walking from Madison Square [T-boy] to MTQ to ICA.<br /><br />I bet the people were wondering too: "Why are they wearing those? Is there a bomb or something?"<br /><br />Honestly.<br /><br />So then the duty starts. First I was at the door 1 with BOB [Michelle Chu] on door 2. We kept saying "Good afternoon, sir/ma'am." until we realized that there were sometimes too many of them so it turned to: "Good afternoon."<br /><br />Yeah, and there was this one group...they came in and went out around 8 times so I kept saying "Good afternoon! Good afternoon! Good afternoon!"<br /><br />It gets old over time.<br /><br />THEN. That other girl...after BOB left, she replaced my spot while I took BOB's. Honestly, I hate her [not BOB, the other girl] I don't know why, maybe it's because she always screws up at some point. Which...happened yet again.<br /><br />I finally got my break during the Special Guest - Valedictorian speech thing. Yeah, but then we were taking care of some things, so me, Cari and Ely kept walking back and forth from one end of the DTASC to the other.<br /><br />After that, it was the other girl's break time.<br /><br />Unfortunately, she can't be found. But me, Cari and Ely wonder..."Where is she? We just passed her by!"<br /><br />Which tells us what?<br /><br />That she left her post without permission. YET AGAIN! And so we took a few minutes to look for her and when we did, I had to run to the other side just to get to my new post...which was blocking the parents from going over the lines to take photos of their kids singing.<br /><br />After the singing thing, we went off to hug people. Then we took photos. Mind you it was dark but flash did the trick. We took so many random pictures in the dark, I think I got one of ICA's Greentiles at night.<br /><br />Well that's about it. <br /><br />My feet hurt less now, but I feel so bad for my socks, they turned all dirty from my boots. Hmm...that's all, I'll put up a picture when I find my cables.<br /><br />I wish I went to dinner with the others. FREE DINNER! But no, my mom was there. Seriously. She picks me up early and drops me off WAY too late. I don't know what to do about her anymore.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well...like I said to Robin.<br /><br />It's like a rollercoaster...it goes up and it goes down.<br /><br />Right now, I feel like we're all going down.<br /><br />I mean...before, yes I heard before that this whole thing could be abolished but now I hear that she's going to take it apart little by little? How unfair is that to us?<br /><br />I mean, seriously, we worked hard for all this. We're not that close to finishing it yet and now it might go away once and for all? I hope that **SHE** realizes that there are people who actually want to become like us. <br /><br />We didn't do it all for the service, we did it for the fun and enjoyable experiences that we heard that we could get from it. Of course, we put our effort into being an effective service thing for the school but all **SHE** wants us to be is full service.<br /><br />And no one wants that. <br /><br />Whatever happened to giving our all to this. With the fun times and the sad times we've gone through, are we all just going to give it all up? If this thing really is abolished, what can she do if we march anyway? What can she do if we took our wooden loves and did our tricks with them?<br /><br />We began a perfect square, donuts, and we're going to finish a perfect square. We'll show them what we can do, what we're all capable of, especially when we set our minds to it.<br /><br />Because seriously, if **SHE** gets rid of our wooden loves, **SHE** will not be able to survive the full wrath of 16 people, plus there are the girls who are in the same situation as us. It's not only us that **SHE** will be dealing with but the whole c***s in general will be against her.<br /><br />And if the plan for **SHE** to be our *mother* next year, I don't know what we'll do.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It's not around anymore, I don't have to do this anymore...<br /><br />But the feeling is there.<br /><br />What if one day, I see someone who is important...and I wonder, do I greet her or whatever but it feels so...so...nakakahiya.<br /><br />------<br /><br />Only fellow CAT people can relate to this feeling, especially the donuts. YES. Relate to this. It's so saddening to learn that it might be gone.<br /><br />You know. I just spent one year...the others spent two years.<br /><br />What if it's gone? Then all that time and effort we placed to it was wasted? Like it was for nothing?<br /><br />------<br /><br />So emo...so unlike me but it's seriously how I feel right now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The happy day was ruined.<br />
<br />
GAH.<br />
<br />
Okay, so I was able to call up my friend and borrow his XS uniform. FINE. At least it isn't like what Issa did to her cousin, she shouted to him: <br />
<br />
"HOY! KAILANGAN KO YUNG UNIFORM MO!"<br />
<br />
and he said:<br />
<br />
"HA?! Ginagamit ko pa kaya!"<br />
<br />
LOL. I had a much more civilized conversation...but I had to explain why I needed his uniform...it's not like he even needs it anymore! He's in college for heaven's sake...he doesn't need his uniform.<br />
<br />
Yes...well, Issa and Kim were teasing. LOL. Then we started discussing what last name would suit my first name.<br />
<br />
So far...Dana Chua doesn't work. Chua is supposed to be my surname but then they bought Samson a long time ago and I don't even know why.<br />
<br />
------<br />
<br />
THEN. Mother General. I never expected her to look like that, I thought she was more on the lines of thinner and with longer hair.<br />
<br />
THEN. the program. YES. It set back lunch all the way to 1230H from the supposed 1200H...well, they wanted to end lunch at 1320H but then the ICA HS Student Body shouted, 1400H! 1400H! but no, we got the compromise of 1330H. <br />
<br />
-------<br />
<br />
Then dismissal time.<br />
<br />
This is where my happy day ended.<br />
<br />
First, everyone left! EVERYONE! Swear, I was in gate 2 until mga 1530H. OMG. I stayed there for more than an hour. <br />
<br />
Second, SHE didn't clean properly AGAIN! <br />
<br />
One day, I will murder her. In her sleep, while she's awake, who cares! XC<br />
<br />
-------<br />
<br />
OH WELL.<br />
<br />
I should be optimistic and hopeful, according to my English teacher...like her. I don't think so. I don't want to be THAT perky.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ heating up my instant noodles. Yup. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to eat those...but, hey, we have them and I'm not going to let it all go to waste!<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Lunch Time...I sat at the corner and didn't start conversing with the kada until Eunice arrived...we actually talked about the Interaction...LOL.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
It was fun, but now someone's got a new nickname. HAHA. I don't know what happened between her and him but when I went to school a while ago, they started with the nicknames. Swear...everywhere she went, people were all, "Hey team emil!" "happy meal!" or "emil!" yup. yup...every single turn. HAHAHA. <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
BTW...First Period...First Dissection from Patience. In the middle of class, a loud scream was heard...I learned later on that it was because the skinned frog moved. Yup...shux, kami na next tomorrowww! HAHAHA. Good luck to you KR, ikaw tagadissect, ako tagadocument.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Continuing on the whole Lunch conversation thing...<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
The conversation went from interaction to next year's prom. Shet, i have to find a date soon...soon...I have backup dates na, but I don't want backup dates! I want to find a date who I will actually get along with...okay, I get along with my backup dates, but it's mostly because they're all gentleman-ly people. At those parties my family usually goes to, one of those backup dates always gets everything for me. How much gentleman-ly can you get? <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Eunice has a backup date too, her cousin, I think...CJ (Joyce, i will now refer to her as Joyce from now on) has a backup date now too, her cousin too. Ange too. HAHA. even if it is her cousin. Shux, am i the only one who doesn't have a cousin for a backup date? Pest...I hate being the youngest in the family.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
BUT YES! I WILL FIND A DATE NEXT YEAR. For now, I will enjoy my noodles. Kulang sa MSG! I need the tastyness of the food from Mann Hann...<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Plus, sneak peek sa Falling Leaves, fellow batchmates who are reading that book...:<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
FRANKLIN WILL DIE BECAUSE HE ATE STRAWBERRIES WITHOUT WASHING IT.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Moral Lesson: Always wash your fruits and veggies because you never know if the farmers grew it with human manure...cow manure...whatever manure...it's still manure and so it's dirty, it contains diseases. BEWARE.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YES!<br />
<br />
She got what she desrved! MWAHAHA!<br />
<br />
All I can say is that we've been promoted, and yipee I was one of those who were promoted up. SHE didn't get promoted, and she had the face to actually think she was. Gosh, she actually started with her 'assumed' promoted rank, which was wrong, so she moved on to the next one. The officer got mad and told her to start from the lowest rank which was what we've been for the year.<br />
<br />
So that's her rank up to now.<br />
<br />
I'm euphoric! I'm happy! I was so down but then now, yeah, I'm happy.<br />
<br />
That's all, tomorrow is another busy day!<br />
<br />
Before I forget I must share this story:<br />
<br />
There was this 3rd year COCC from Xavier School across the MTQ (Mary the Queen Parish)...he had a rifle with him, and he was walking with so much pride in his stride that it was probably boosting up his ego even more.<br />
<br />
In ICA's gate 2, there's this step that you have to watch otherwise you would accidentally trip. Well, he wasn't watching where he was going...so, as he walked with his rifle and his pride filled stride, he suddenly tripped!<br />
<br />
So me, soons and ely laughed...and then we retold the story to the other ICA COCs inside the school, and they laughed.<br />
<br />
Yes, it has been a fun day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ my clean floors get dirty as the day goes from morning to afternoon, i was honestly expecting the PM floor person to clean it up properly but no. she doesn't. honestly, she doesn't know how. <br />
<br />
it's mean of me to say that but i hope that she at least has some decency to spare me the troubles of having to sweep up everyting, or to at least be thankful that it isn't as dirty as it is in the morning. with the roaches and the lizards and the plastic bags, papers scattered on the floor.<br />
<br />
seriously.<br />
<br />
plus she never attends. i hope she realizes that she is way, way, way, way, way behind and she's such a liar! omg. such a big liar! i have proof that she said she could have gone but now she tells me that she never remembered me telling her or asking her if she could go! LIAR!!!<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
thank god for  friday, i got my card. <br />
<br />
Math = 97 = <3<br />
<br />
My average for the 3rd quarter = 90.83! YEAH. fourth honors, haha, at least meron diba? And ange thought i was bragging about that. hell no, i knew that she had a higher grade. But i guess my tone will just never change! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> so ange has to bear with that.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Can you solve a rubiks cube?<br />
<br />
Lately, the rubiks cube mania has been present in my school, specifically, my barkada. LOL. Steph was trying to solve the 2x2 one, it was hard but we got one side right so that's about one half of it that's right. LOL!<br />
<br />
One of my 3x3 cubes got dismantled...so me and my cousins put it back together last new year, claiming to our parents that with our combined brains, we solved it.<br />
<br />
HAHA. and they believed us!<br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Questions to the masses: you prolly know where i study, if not it's at ICA, but here's the big question. <a href="http://mono-tone.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/o/mono-tone.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmono-tone:" title="mono-tone"/></a> ~<a class="u" href="http://mono-tone.deviantart.com/">mono-tone</a> was wondering if...<br />
<br />
"Are there any yaoi guys in the school right across us?"<br />
<br />
i answered, maybe since people told me that there were gays there, which is totally fine since it's their life, not ours, so we really shouldn't mind whether or not they're gay.<br />
<br />
now I'm wonder if...<br />
<br />
"Is there a difference between do you know how to solve a rubiks cube and have you ever solved a rubiks cube?" <br />
<br />
<a href="http://arielee.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/r/arielee.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconarielee:" title="arielee"/></a> ~<a class="u" href="http://arielee.deviantart.com/">arielee</a> says yes, there is. i agree with her and so does CJ! But ange says no...so i really wonder now.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Such are the challenges of life.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Nothing can snap me out of my boredom...I wish something could though.<br />
<br />
Well...I guess watching things could...or taking pictures. I like taking pictures, even though they usually turn out really blurred because I definitely don't have a steady hand.<br />
<br />
Then again, I could always practice my calligraphy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Recent events have made me happy and pissed off.<br />
<br />
I just got the CD i've been borrowing for like 2 months now, yup...i only got it today.<br />
<br />
Hopefully i'll be able to return it soon.<br />
<br />
Then i made an oreo cheesecake.<br />
<br />
YUM.<br />
<br />
But the cupcake was better.<br />
<br />
Yes...I am a food addict. <br />
<br />
Lately, i've been busy. Not just the normal kind of busy, more like the really really busy. Groupmates don't cooperate anymore... **sobs**<br />
<br />
And they tell me i don't do a lot of things for them?<br />
<br />
Well i'd like to ask them...<br />
<br />
"Who waters the plants with the WEEK old FISH GUT WATER every time? WHO DOES THAT?! That's right. ME. "<br />
<br />
I do it therefore people blame me for the horrid stench of the Bio Lab but is that my fault? NOOoo...blame the hydrochloric acid group. That's their dead plants that are stinking. And besides...I tell her to take photos of the experiment and what does she do? She goes on her camera-whore mode.<br />
<br />
UGH.<br />
<br />
Now the science brochure, it won't do itself...and everything that i do just happens to be WRONG for them when it's obviously RIGHT. <br />
<br />
PSH...and they say I don't do anything.<br />
<br />
If this is what's gonna happen to me for being nice at all times...then maybe I should start being mean?<br />
<br />
I mean...look where being nice got me...no one talks to me in class unless they need to borrow something or they need to ask my assistance during math. HAH. I should stop lending and teaching them and see where they get to.<br />
<br />
And yesterday was the field trip.<br />
<br />
My buddy left me for someone else! **sobs again**<br />
<br />
So. Unfair.<br />
<br />
So i went around walking there...by myself, being the one to take the pictures instead of taking shots of the scenery i actually like.<br />
<br />
Seriously, i'm getting tired of seeing them pose for the camera, because i see it every single day of school.<br />
<br />
Then again, the trip home was pretty nice. Save for the fact that we had to wait in the bus for a long time 'cause one of the teachers went shopping for a bag, which we thought was underwear.<br />
<br />
I was gonna relax when the person behind me started slapping my shoulder, i was: "What?! What the hell do you want?!"<br />
<br />
They were shocked, of course. The first time they've seen me snap at anyone in the class. My old classmates know better than to disturb me in the afternoons after lunch...since I get really cranky during that time from 13:00 to 15:30.<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
I've watched the movie Enchanted and the way Giselle says that she's mad and then laughs sort of reminds me of my teacher. Which is...honestly? Freaky. She breaks a piece of chalk, smiles at us and pleasantly tells us that she's angry. That shut us up for the rest of the period.<br />
<br />
Well today, i feel happy. And that's because of my 'little sister', she's not my relative or anything, she's just kind of like a little sister and she was assigned to me at first.<br />
<br />
LOL.<br />
<br />
Well, if you took the time to read this, then you must really be bored. HAHA.<br />
<br />
An inch of gold is the same as an inch of time, if an inch of gold is hard to buy, then so is an inch of time.<br />
<br />
The End...for now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ HA. I've got the time to do this thing now.<br />
<br />
I like this haiku a lot...<br />
<br />
kaze hikaru<br />
makoto no hata ni<br />
hana goro mo<br />
<br />
...basically, it says:<br />
<br />
Wind shines<br />
around truth's flag<br />
and the symphony of flowers as well<br />
<br />
AND...it's got a connection with something that I've decided on reading.<br />
<br />
Yup, I'm going to search all over again for another Shinsengumi manga. Kaze Hikaru, about a girl who wants to get into the Shinsengumi.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Anyway<br />
<br />
I finished studying chinese but now the wind is really coming in. WHOOSH. Strong winds today...strange.<br />
<br />
I think it's raining too? <br />
<br />
My window is open but that doesn't mean that the blinds are too...so I really wouldn't know.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
"GAHH!"<br />
<br />
Denise...Have you guessed who that person is yet? <br />
<br />
Think about it really hard but actually, there are like...3 of them.<br />
<br />
PSHH...<br />
<br />
btw, were you in the computer class for the first sem? If so...lucky us 'cause she's gonna make the next batch suffer.<br />
<br />
MWAHAHA.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
While I try to refresh my memory for the modified true or false part in our chinese test...feel free to do absolutely nothing. Go on...lucky people. <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been like a month since I wrote here!<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
I hate this one kid in the batch. I hate her as much as I love to just sleep in every single day of my life.<br />
<br />
Yeah.<br />
<br />
She's hoping that the batch gets reshuffled because she wants to get into the star secs, pshh...she shouldn't hope for that. <br />
<br />
Geez...to think that she would be grateful that she doesn't have to do everything that the star secs do...like take more than the average number of quizzes per day or having to take a bunch of lessons in a day and then taking the quiz on them the next day. OR...OR do things that would normally be extra-credit but SINCE you're in the star sec, you don't get extra-credit and you get graded instead, no 'extra-credit' = no grade.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Another thing...<br />
<br />
I feel that you guys should be updated.<br />
<br />
Yup, I actually learned how to use my scanner. I always thought that the thing was broken...but then it's not and it was the thing that made all the noise whenever i started up my sister's PC downstairs.<br />
<br />
And to think that i consider myself a pretty decent technology user.<br />
<br />
PLUS...<br />
<br />
LAST MONDAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF COMPUTER FOR ME!<br />
<br />
Too bad for the next batch...she's going to kill you guys!<br />
<br />
THEN:<br />
<br />
I cut up like...9 dolls out of cardboard and decided to be a kid again so i made paperdolls. I can draw clothes...but someone had to dictate the clothes for me. It looked so cute! Maybe my groupmates and I should start a clothing line when we need a job? <br />
<br />
Also, there's the fair booth thing. I saw the design for what we were going to do and I instantly thought of the room in Willy Wonka's factory...you know that one with the squirrels...I dunno...maybe it was because the paper was white and the ink was blue? In anycase, the thing looks complicated and we don't even know what to call it...but to all ICAns out there! Come drop by the class booth of II - Peace, "Shoot 2D Future". They're going to 168 on thursday to buy some stuff as prizes.<br />
<br />
Ummm....<br />
<br />
Well...that;s pretty much it.<br />
<br />
Next week is finals for the semester. The year went by so fast...i only have half the year left.<br />
<br />
Good luck to me and to everyone else then...LOL<br />
<br />
I'll write again next time...ummm...when i find the time to.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday...<br />
<br />
We had our sub-sub-adviser, Ms. Espiritu, the spirit woman, go and give us our cards because Ms. Cabria, our original sub-adviser wasn't there and Ms. Busalla, our original adviser, was still having her one month rest. <br />
<br />
Anyway...i made the cutest Health paper ever! I'll try to scan and put it up here! LOL...i didn't color it in anymore...gosh...no time.<br />
<br />
AND GOSH DID I EVER GET SHOCKED BECAUSE OF THIS:<br />
<br />
see in the kumon center i used to kumon in...the record was 16 minutes and 100%...my time and score was 30 minutes and 100% but still...the record was broken! i was like...OMG! SOMEONE ACTUALLY BROKE KENNETH'S RECORD? THAT'S LIKE SO IMPOSSIBLE! but nooo...the new record is now 12 minutes and 100%. So yeah...everyone else who heard the news was like, WTH?<br />
<br />
AND THIS:<br />
<br />
I only got an 87 in Math! And i'm a kumon completer! oh the shame...not to worry...this quarter i plan to get at least one 100 in my card. haha...i'd like to see that! but now i won't get exempted from the tests because i didn't get a 93 or whatever it is the grade required for that is...<br />
<br />
And my Filipino didn't fail! I really thought i failed.<br />
<br />
But then:<br />
<br />
I showed my report card(not really...it's just a piece of paper now...used to be a card before...but noooo...they had to change it) to my parents and they just told me:<br />
<br />
~You better get higher grades next quarter. This isn't your best...get a merit card or else we're going to force you to quit being a cocc.~<br />
<br />
I was:<br />
<br />
~you keep telling me not to force people but YOU guys of all people force me. Make up your minds will you!~<br />
<br />
not that i'm disrespectful to my parents...just that they annoy me to hell.<br />
<br />
anyway...i'm still mad at them but i am gonna pull all my grades up!<br />
<br />
i wanna see it all line of 9 next quarter...and filipino should be at least 90. my chinese is higher than everything else! it's an A and an A = 90-95. And i can't even speak chinese that well...<br />
<br />
until next time...i gotta do my nipa huts!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
