the past week.

i haven't been able to update this past week. but no, it's not because im busy. in fact, last tuesday and wednesday, i got home at 630, ate a little snack, slept, woke up at 9, texted for 2 and a half hours, and slept at 1130. NICE. and while i was doing this idleness, my classmates were cramming for their argumentative paper. SO NICE.

i actually suffer from the adamant disease of procrastination too. it's just that i didn't practice it this time around. well, actually i sort of crammed the last minute details of my acknowledgment and dedication. haha. toni said i thanked so many people that it looks like i just received an award or something. lol. i just named lots of specific people. haha. im really nervous about my paper. i mean, i think i already did my best; im actually kinda proud of it, but still, who knows what Mrs. Tiu's standard is? haha.

eric just joined this CAL search for ICT wizards, and of course i served as the eternal alternate. it was kinda fun actually. we trained, no wait, i mean Eric trained (well actually i was the one asking him random questions, so i guess i trained him? hahaha. ) for the contest. Exemption from nothing important really, just the boredom of classes. anyway, moving on. Friday. Ms. Pablo accompanied us, and Mang Ruben drove us to Phil trade. the building was kinda big. and when we entered, we were actually surprised to see lots of students per school. this was surprising because from what Mrs. D told us (she just gave birth), this was an individual type of contest. It turned out that what she said was accurate, it was individual, but there were 6 different contests! and she just included our school in the quiz bee, when there was programming, web designing, pc assembly, quiz bee for elementary, and desktop publishing. guess what language the programming contest was? VISUAL BASIC. OMG. that's like the language we're studying in school. so sad. i really think i could have won there if i studied. lol. feeler. haha.

anyway, back to eric's quiz bee. when he registered, there were already 23 people ahead of him, representing different schools from NCR and CALABARZON regions. it was really cool because we met yet again with the Claret people. it was nice seeing Eric Imperial and catching up with him since he's already using Sun cellular and we haven't been able to talk. the contest started late as usual. it began at 1230, instead of the original 11 am. anyway, there were a total of 40 HS students competing for three spots in the national finals the following day. it was multiple choice all throughout and so guessing was totally possible. haha. but i think the questions were nice. the categories were somehow evenly spread. Eric fell one question short of the 1st place. power supply lol. haha.

Saturday: National Finals.
31 people. lots of booths. lots of grammar errors. not-so-nice questions. 7th placer. new acquaintances from Taguig. new bracelets. Ms.Isidro. Lion King musical. 20000 cash prize for the third place. not much to say. XD

i dont really wanna talk about it. but more importantly, im getting lazy writing. sorry. XD

advance happy chinese new year. :)

how to make a paper.

my edition of how to save a life. hahaha. :)

anyway, the best way to make a paper: base your topic on resources available. seriously. it would make your life a hundred times easier. just take me for example. i have a complete paper regarding my topic specifically. im currently already 90% done, when i think most of my classmates haven't even started. it was just too easy. if you're thinking of it right now, no, of course i didn't plagiarize! well, okay, a bit, but hey, that's forgivable right?

my next big English problem: our short film. i have this horrible thought that we won't be able to finish it on time, or that it won't come out as cute as it's supposed to be. lol. i hope our film comes out fine. XD

it's valentine's day next week. i don't know what to expect. lol.

more important day: it's my birthday next next week. haha. :)

happy birthday abbie. for two weeks, you'll be two years older than me. hahaha. :)

current favorite song: If we fall in Love. <3

in lieu of cliches..

ok. i have no idea what that title means. it just sort of popped into my mind, so i guess i would have to build my entry around that. lol weird ba? haha.

cliche #1:
High school is the happiest phase of your life.

Although that may be true, i have a better idea. High School is all about discovering, discovering what you have never done before, and what you may never be able to do again. It's about discovering relationships, friendships and love. It's about discovering hidden sides.

Simply put, it's about discovering yourself, and LIFE.

cliche #2:
Everyone has been blessed with talents they can use.

yeah i know. it's just that i don't seem to fall under that "everyone". seriously. i have been trying to find something im really good at, and i cant find any. i think i have some talent in programming but then, i wont be able to use that in college. too bad. oh well, just have to deal..and study harder. XD

haha. i got 53 in math btw. personal achievement.XD
