What Happened??

For the past few weeks, Campus Idol had been the talk of the town. Many people just cant get over the fact of such event. Cant blame them though. Almost all of our contestants for the contest qualified. Wow! that's quite amazing. Now that the time had come for the first ever Campus Idol to be born, everybody had been ever so supportive.

Well, all through out the competition, I really had my back on supporting Ten, Ajae, Aaron and Dar, although not all of them made it. One thing funny about this is you get to catch the all perform on video. The first time the contest was done, Kat took the video. Well, she sang with the singers so eventually, she was heard on tape.

Since then, she had been very busy with lots of stuffs. At least I managed to take the videos all throughout the competition. I even included various shots of Ten's kind of dessert. Heck, I hope she didn't mind such thing.

Anyways, all had been very busy this week. The collaboration of the three club made this event possible. The English Club, Liriko and LRC Club. Well, the whole thing was worth it too. Anyways, it was fun. D\Family day and everything, it was a blast.

About the family day, I thought it would just be my mom sitting around the corner watching the other parents play for I didn't include her in any of the games. Eventually, she was able to play more than what I have expected. Word puzzles, answering this question and stuff. Just seeing her with other parents , made me happy for at least she was able to enjoy her day at school.

Seeing many parents turned the school into a market flooded with buyers but seeing them play reminded me of little children. Fiddling, getting this ant that, others whining. That was something nice about the whole day too. Eventually, we went home late and with due regards to Ten, she won the Campus Idol, making her the first ever Campus Idol. Congratulations though I have said it many times.

Hey, we’ve changed Sections!

Hello, Anyways… There is a Regional Achievement Test next week and selected pupils are going to participate in it. As a result, we Nitrogen people went our separate ways, just for that week up to Monday. That’s no big deal. The whole idea was fun. It may sound weird but, that’s how it goes. The only flaw was what we’ve already discussed before was just being discussed in the other section. Not, a problem. That didn’t matter. I’ll just tell how we felt as exchange students.

The folks were nice. Many of them were my old classmates since elementary. I’m glad they still remember me. Well, one thing was they didn’t change at all. Though all of us had been separated for a lot of years already, they remain friendly. They may still be noisy but that’s just how they seem to express themselves. Even though we were just new around their room, they treated us as one of them as well. They invited us to watch a movie the last time we didn’t have our Zoology class. They were all happy; everybody had their own talks, opinions and stuff.

Well, staying with the 3-H students was wonderful. Though we’ve just spent no even a week together, they eagerly welcomed us in. Well, we still have one more day to share on Monday. I wonder what would become of that day.

Three Days out of Home

Well, since the periodical test was a blast this week, we still weren’t safe from the clutches of tons of projects. Well, lucky for us Ma’am Tenny gave the class another extension for passing the term paper. Since Half of Friday was allotted for the entrance exam, I together with Tenten and Katrina had this idea of an overnight in none other than our host, Tenten. Heck, every overnight we always stay in their house. Well, I cant count how many times we’ve spent in her house even if it was expected or not, like the one that happened when we did the chemistry module. That’s a long story so let’s move on to what had happened in her house.

Yup, there we were, in the study room. Computers are all open, Ten with her laptop, Kat managing the desktop, and me, well they left me a few things to be done. Since we’ve forgotten about something, ah! Yes, the books, good thing Ten and I came up with the wackiest idea. It’s good I was able to keep the list secured. Man! That had us worried a bit. Well, since Ten went back to school that day, I had to accompany her for Kat suggested that she be left finishing her part of the paper.

Now, we were back at school. Lot’s of people and we even got to see Kat’s mom. She asked us where Kat was but we told her she stayed at Ten’s house for it was her own will. Anyways, Ten invited Kat’s mom to ride in their revo. As the ever so persistent Tenten I knew, she waited for Mrs. Riman until she was done talking. Well, Ten and her wild desires, she wanted to sit at the back of the revo. I had to join her or she’ll feel alone there. Well, Kat’s mom almost didn’t agree but at the end, we sat at the back. After all of that, we looked like we had a picnic going around there, reading a lot of stuffs. Ah, one thing I would never forget is when Ten tried to perform an acrobatic act fitting herself to the front seat of the revo, where Mrs. Riman and her son had once sat.

Well, as soon as we got back, Kat got all bored and she played music, doing all sorts of stuffs. At least she was able to finish the whole thing. Well, we all slept late, except for Ten who already fell asleep. Anyways, Kat and I slept at 2:30 AM or something. We couldn’t remember the time. The next day was rush hour. Even though we tried to finish everything, it just becomes harder and harder. We recount, recheck and did lots of stuffs. So, it all ended up at a slow rate of finishing the term paper.

Sunday. My God! We were still not done but we were in total rush. Need to finish this, need to edit that, oh don’t forget need to recheck that. Oh, finally we were able to finish the whole thing, furnished and complete. One thing that annoyed us was the laser printer. It was not working properly. Doesn’t want to print anything, that wretched thing. Well we used another one and finally, it did the work.

The last breakfast we had together was from Mcdo. Longganisa, Ten’s favorite. Last thing I remembered was the same thing was we ate before. Boy, Tenten really loves longganisa. Anyways, we were sent home after that. Man! We were exhausted and tired.

The Week Where It All Happened

Man! Hectic, as usual that’s the brief description I can give for this week. After I had long been gone from classes and my mind is still on a trance except form the fact of the long vacation, I had this feeling that I wasn’t that prepared for this, so let’s deal with this blog entry, now let’s go…

Well, almost all things in this week were all in the “rushed” state. To start off with, I’ll tell a bit of the research thing again. How could we possibly be able to think about it after we had long been in the Statistics mode? Yes, we were given the time to present this and do that but hey, it was too pitiful that we had to deal with much of the Stat portion rather than most of the research with is the crucial part. Well, that’s just what I wanted to say, so one week of giving a research topic that isn’t approved yet is not that bad right. Well, let’s move on with the term paper in English.
Well, I really loved all of this term paper and stuff for my group mates and I loved the topic very much and enjoyed every bit of it. My problem was, well Ten and Kat had the Math contest and needed to review so I was left with all the tedious stuff to be dealt with. Hey why do I always get the biggest share? I love big stuffs but not when it comes to work, no way, but I have no choice, its either this thing suffers or I do it for our sake. Well, I was thankful for our fused idea of doing all the work on the bibliography and clippings stuff last vacation so I just had to deal with the RRL and fixing the bibliography. Eventually, I finished it and was able to pass on time.

Nice, at least some subjects were done in a flash. Well, we’ve still got much projects left but so little time to fit them all in. Well, anyways, it is part of being a student, so you must force yourself to do it! You must, and you shall. This is the right path for you for me and everybody. Let’s do it!

Big, Bang New Year!

Good bye 2008 and hello 2009! We’ve just entered a new dawn of the year. Everybody must have enjoyed their last year but for me, I still had some tests to worry about. Anyways, I’d just tell my New Year fun today.

Starting off with a rainy day, all was cold. People got noisier by the second. I was hanging by the sari-sari store of my auntie while I heard various explosions form fireworks, by the sounds they made I could tell you what those fireworks were… let me see, ah, the ever so famous piccolo, hey isn’t that prohibited, the notorious PVC cannon or locally known as boga, whoa, wasn’t this thing banned and some of the varieties of super lolo related fireworks, man I thought these things didn’t exist anymore. Luckily, they just use these stuffs seldom as they should unlike cigarettes they smoke everyday.

Well, as happy as it was our New Year was safely celebrated. We enjoyed it to the very last bit. Heck, we always slept late and eventually get bored of some of the stuffs we still needed to do so that gave us a good whack on the head by old mom here. Well, we get back to our senses and finish those chores and go back to bed!

Well, that’s all for our happy celebration. I hope you celebrated yours as good as well. Remember, don’t hold any firecracker that didn’t blow up for that may take a good portion of your hand away. Oh, and for my classmates, send me some postcards if you ever went somewhere in the world.

Last Christmas, All I got was a few, This Christmas, I’ve got a Handful

Happy Holidays, it’s Christmas, the most special day of this week which I want to highlight and emphasize in this blog now.

All over the world, we celebrate this joyous day, the day where everybody gets a tight bonding with his or her family. A very nice day indeed and we even had the weather going well with us. Perfect isn’t it. Oops, here comes the children for their money and gifts need to tell mom and the others to hide. Just kidding, it’s an open house today. We expect them to come and got what they want. First off, a bunch of little children walking down the street entered the house next to us and another and… blah, it seemed like it never ended and we still planned on going there too because our relative from abroad just went home, that’s the reason why people never stopped pilling up.

Well, to amuse ourselves, my cousins and I decided to play all sorts of weird games we could think of. We even spent time asking ourselves medical questions though we didn’t find some amusing. Well, lucky for me, I’ve got an advance of 500 pesos from my godmother who just visited lately. She even included a cake with it. She told me that it was to make up for all those times she weren’t giving me anything at all. As sweet as it sounds, I’ve just noticed one thing, there were more people who value the money that’s why they go to their godmother’s houses, not to greet and chat with them but to get money. Well, that is quite sad isn’t it? Anyways, there’s more food again. I never expected much of it though. Heck, and hey, this day got quite boring later on but the best bit of it was when we went to church for the simbang gabi wherein we almost got no seats for the chairs were occupied to the max. I didn’t see my classmates here both old and new but hey, maybe they’re on vacation or they just don’t go to church sometimes.

When we got home, we watched some television shows and ate various foods and eventually, we went to sleep. Ah, this really makes vacation such a wonderful treat.

Drop Everything and Let’s Go Partying

Wow! After the bloody exams for most of us, it’s time to celebrate. For the past few days, everybody had been very busy in preparation for the choral singing contest, yet another showdown with the other years I guess. Well, because of that, not that much of class time and more on training stuff.

I love days like this. Sometimes, it helps you feel relaxed within. No petty troubles, away from stress and none of that cram-to-death scenario going on. Well, I’ll tell more about our choral group. They’re composed of the finest and the most willing persons you could find. They’re much disciplined though most of the time they cause their manager, master of training and performing arts, Dei, a major headache once they lose their energies. Well, can’t blame her, teaching a bunch of people is painstaking serious painstaking effort. You can’t just give it all in one shot and once they forget it, you’d blow a fuse out.

Well, have you know, all these efforts paid off pretty well. It seemed like the competition was intense, especially with our seniors. Well, all we knew was my batch mates had all that effort and practice well done, so everything went well. We had won the contest, proving that doing your best goes a long way, oh and don’t forget to add enjoying your work too! That helps much as well.

Well, after that performance, we had to cram with our school level presentation number, and mind you, it wasn’t that easy. We had to remove a lot of acts and add fillers in it so it wouldn’t look like we were a bunch of crazy people dancing in front. Yes! Everything went fine and here we go in the best part, food! Everybody was starved after the long day they’ve been through but it seems like our section weren’t even out of energy after all of that. I don’t know if we’re hyperactive or merely a bunch of mob looking for more things to ponder attention on. We’ve got this knack of taking group pictures of our section for fun and posting in the net, so we’ve just gone haywire when we lied down the grass and formed the letter N having our old classmates go up Maliksi Building to capture everything. Phew, I guess they had their hands tired of holding lots of cameras and taking a lot of photos.

Apparently, this day was very long indeed but all was worth it. Fun, amusing, entertaining, you name it. This was the day all of us had that fun and freedom from the chain of books, notebooks, projects, and homework that were needed to be done. This was the day we’ve longed for so long, but we better be prepared for the challenges next year.

Hey, we’re Back on Track

After a few days or weeks of being pulled out from classes, finally, I’ve returned. At long last, I get to see the glimpse of our never changing classroom, still a mess. Well, Having been away for at least a week gave me the feeling of boredom of the same class routine. Well, that’s what I go to school for, to learn lots of stuffs. This week, all I’ve learned are environment friendly stuffs. Here’s a shot of some of them.

Well, I’ve learned about nature’s processes in a deeper way. Who knew that acid rain, yeah as simple as some smoke goes up in the air and mixes with the water vapor condensed there involves certain chemicals like sulfur from smoke mixes with water vapor in the air and so on. Oh, even though normal rain is slightly acidic for, I’ll save the explanation, I feel like I’m not to good at this. Well, next goes to the day we really come back to classes, with smiles on our faces for our efforts weren’t wasted because we’ve won the contest and we thank God and our coach for teaching us and lending us her tight schedule though she’s a very busy teacher at that time.

Well, as I was saying, the classroom…was still as it is and yeah! I’m glad some of the lessons we’ve missed are a bit few but some of them were very hard. Well, with all the homework and projects that were needed to be passed, it’s just crucial for the test is just a few days a head! Ha! Who said we’re exempted with all that! It’s just fair that everybody will take the test. Well, at least they gave us a next year chance of getting some of it. The others, were quite easy to understand but the ones we left out for next year are going to turn bloody once we’ve gone back after the long Christmas break. Well, that’s it for now, and let’s just looks forward for a nice, cozy and warm party.
