finals

2005-11-01T03:34:00.000-08:00

you will notice that this will not be like most of my entries.. it will be colorless and rather short :p tamad eh, hehe..

this will be about the yawsayaw finals.. yeah, yeah i know.. it was years ago when this happened but still.. its worth telling ;)

before the actual thing, all the competitors were busily preparing for the competition (that includes make-up, hair dressing and the wearing of costumes).. josh and dazzle, two friends of ate naths, made sure that the magic 8 were all ready for the show on time..

1 pm was nearing and we held hands in prayer, wishing that we would be able to perform to the best of our abilities without injuries and hopefully win.. we didnt join the competiton to just win and get all the prizes we want (actually, thats just an extra :p) but we joined because we wanted to show our teachers, family and friends that we can do things that they can proud of..

we were 3rd to perform out of 12 schools and we were just so happy that we went through it safely and no technical difficulties happened.. and so we prepared for the showdown.. the school who ranked 12 and the school who ranked 11 will battle, the school who ranked 10 will compete against the school who ranked 9 and so on and so forth.. we placed second, next to st. marks, with a 5 point difference.. we waited patiently backstage as we once again, prayed to God, thanked Him for making us place 2nd and we asked Him to bless us through out the showdown..

when our crew was finally called to the stage, we took deep breaths and entered the stage.. it was amazing to see the mc crowd suddenly stand and wave the pompoms, banners and balloons we had for them.. they made us inspired to do more, they made us realize that giving 105% of your energy wouldnt hurt at all.. :) as the battle went on and the schools took turns in taking center stage, we tried to hype the crowd as much as we could because we want them to enjoy since we are giving our all for them.. yada-yada-yada!

after the looooong battle, we gave each other pats on the back and we bowed with the crew members of st. marks.. :D we wore big smiles as we headed back to our room.. we thought that that experience was already fulfilling but when we opened the door to the dressing room, we were welcomed by such warm smiles which was more than enough reason for us to smile even more.. haaay, ang sarap talaga nung feeling! hehe, we waited for the announcement of the final 6 schools who will battle and we were told by our PA that we were, again 2nd to st. marks but this time by a 3 point difference.. we planned for the combinations to be used for the final showdown (the score was back to zero, btw) and prepared behind the curtains.. blah-blah-blah!

entring the stage was such a confidence boosting thing.. now, we saw some of our teammates beside the stage cheering for us :p hehe, ansaya! anyway, the music started to play and we did our stuff.. hehe :p (ok, this is obvious lack of words, mwehehe.. such a pathetic paragraph, haha :p sorry)

the announcement of winners came and the 6 final schools assembled on stage.. the scores for every battle was flashed on the screen and we saw that we won against st. marks by 4 points.. :D (95% to 91%, i think) yay!!!!! haha, how fake can that be?? hehe..

moving on, our schoolmates suddenly ran to the stage (i dont even know how they did that so fast, hehe) and gave us hugs.. :D aww, thanks guys! i dont even remember the people who i hugged, all i know is they gave us the boost we needed and we are just so happy that we were able to win............ not only for God but for them :D heehee

we were asked to perform again and we did.. haha, as if we can complain.. :p

after the competition, we went outside to fix ourselves up and stuff.. everyone kept on congratulating us and we exchanges happy smiles with them.. some girls even followed us upto the lav and they watched us as we struggled to remove our mohawks.. hehe, even the master terps paid P100 to watch and show support for MC.. :)

haaaay, rash, crissy and i were talking about the whole experience and we all agreed that eventhough the audience number of MC were nothing compared to other schools, they were able to give as much support to us, maybe even more.. :D actually, some of the schools that unfortunately didnt make it to the final 6 joined our audience in chanting "MC, MC, MC" during the announcement..

the whole thing was undoubtfully memorable, enjoyable, exciting, fun.......... EVERYTHING. we would love to experience that again :D

yawsayaw

2005-10-02T02:51:00.000-07:00

first of all, i wanna congratulate the squad (especially PAU, RASH, CRISSY, JEH, MISSY, TRISH and NICKY) for winning first place in YAWSAYAW the metro-wide hip-hop challenge.. congrats guys! WE made it, as a team..

'em gonna run-down the things that happened before that..

at 5:30 in the morning, we all met up at the HS sports complex to mark the dance for the competition.. we left at around 6:15 so we could reach there at 7 which is the call time for all participants.. it was really disappointing to find only one school there who were with us until we reached the theater.. we started to fix our hair (care of nicky and jeh) then we proceeded inside the theater.. we began to warm ourselves up and we fixed our blockings in the dance..

at 11:30, we had our lunch at jollibee and this also meant catching up with the texts votes since Christian Acadaemy was already leading it..

by 12:45, people started to come inside the theater and we were a bit nervous because we couldnt see any MC person inside yet.. but despite this, we tried to go through everything with a smile.. i guess we did it quite well.. :P

our initial performance was ..... i dont know and i dont wanna say anything ..... but people were saying that we did well.. it was really touching for us to see MC supporters in the balcony cheering and waving the cartolinas with our names on them (although, we really couldnt read it form a far, hehe).. all the stunts were perfectly made and the dance went smoothly.. after the performance, we went backstage, as insturucted, and we were so shocked hearing and seeing all the masters terps cheering for us.. we felt like celebrities since they were shaking our hands and stuff like that.. we actually thought that they were cheering for all of the schools but the other schools came and went but none of them even said anything (but we did, dont worry :P we congratulated every school that came after us).. we waited for everything to finish and when the final six schools were about to be announced, we held hands in prayer because we know that only God could "make great things possible" (-globe. hehe) anyway, we squeezed each other's hands as the emcee called out school names.. it was really nerve-wracking but we kept our hopes up and luckily, we made it through together. the six schools were paired up and we were up against Sacred Heart (the school which we found best among all the other schools we competed against).. the battle didnt turn out to be what we wanted it to be.. it was quite chaotic, actually.. after that, one of the participants of Sacred Heart was accusing one of our members for touching her and stuff but we defended our team mate and we stayed strong for her.. in the end, everything was settled and we waited for the announcement of the winners.. we were scared because we know that since it is a competition, the chance of losing is just as big as the chance of winning.. when it was announcement time, we all prayed hard again and we just hoped that we would get the very thing we wanted that moment (which was winning).. we know that we did our best and we trusted each other greatly so we know that we had a chance.. the master terps were chanting "miriam, miriam, miriam..." backstage which made some of us burst into tears beacuse we didnt expect anyone, besides the MC crowd, (esp. our co-competitors) to cheer for us the way that they did.. anyway, the 2nd runner up got 71%, the first runner up got 77% (which was supposed to be 83% but they got a 5 point deduction for having contact with the other group during the on-core) and we got 93%!!! we were so shocked to hear that and we were very thankful that we were declared champions.. we repeated our routine and we put twice our effort into it so we could prove to everyone that we do deserve it.. people were congratulating us from everywhere and it made us realize that support can come from anyone, even from those unexpected people who can give as much encouragement as the others..

believing is a two-way connection. if you want people to trust in your team or your team mates to trust in you, you should have enough confidence to believe in yourself FIRST then youll realize that more people will support you who are ready to give extra puhes of motivation for you to be able to reach your goal.

after celebrating, we (nicky, jeh, rash, crissy and i) bought tickets for us to be able to watch the north division of yawsayaw.. after reserving seats, we went out to buy food when suddenly, people (whom we dont even know at all) were shouting "idol!" or "go miriam!" from everywhere, towars our direction.. it definitely put smiles to our faces and gave us more inspiration to do better in the finalas since more people were ready to support our team..

after doing everything that we needed to do, we went back inside the theater and sat on our seats.. when suddenly, some guys who were seating behind us were shouting "go miriam!" again.. we thought that they were the same people who we saw outside while buying food but surprisingly, we saw erik or eric (hehe) and steven there, the guys we met in eastwood one time.. **chit-chat**

anyway crissy and i got bored (you know us.. :P)!! haha, anyway.. since the competition wasnt about to start yet, we went around the mall, searching for more food and credits.. we saw "jesus" along the way and weird stares were being thrown to us by strangers.. maybe because we still had our hair-do's on..

the participants in the neo terps were basically ok.. the winner was an all-guys troupe (fyi, they got 88%)who were really great in breakdancing stunts like handstands and stuff.. as for the masters terps, ...erm... i forgot :P haha! i actually slept somewhere in the middle because the intermission number lulled me to sleep.. :D

it finished at around 10:30 and we were fetched at around 11.. crissy's dad brought me home and they went to eastwood to drop nicky off..

that is my looong story.. pagsamantalahan nyo na, mga next month pa ko maguupdate! :P

yay

2005-09-22T06:09:00.000-07:00

i feel stupid for blaming someone for my mistakes.. i was being so selfish and insensitive that i hurt others.. even the ones who had nothing to do with "it" in the first place.. i jumped into conclusions and i ended up knowing that i was wrong.. sorry to everyone for everything.. i love you all!

thanks for helping me stand up again.. for wiping off my tears on my face.. for accepting me after everything that has happened.. for taking the blame.. for keeping up with my terrible mood swings.................. for the great friendship..

**para 'to sa madaming tao.. you know who you are :D**

to you : its good that we've settled everything.. i hope that nothing like this will happen again.. :D sorry and thanks (you know why)

nyargh.

2005-09-17T02:22:00.000-07:00

its been a while. i just felt really lazy these past few days.. actually, i was online everyday but the thing is, i didnt feel like blogging last week.. i had nothing to blog about anyway.. as a matter of fact, i dont have anything important to say here so if you dont wanna waste your precious time, then bye. haha, taray!

heres a summary for ya'll (this is not the only things that happened to me.. haha, practically, the things i remember):

college day performance - rashmi, crissy and i have been given the privilage to dance along with the sayawatha (sassy, titit, cy) and taekwondo (kara, moniquue, giselle, melanie, cent, reg).. yeah yeah, it doesnt make sense does it (you know, people who do kicks, punches and all that crap are gonna dance with the 2 school dance groups)? well, thats the way it is! we practiced together for 2 or 3 days and that was it. time was quite short but we did well.. people were laughing at us in some parts but it was ok since they did it in the right parts. :P

september serenade - yeah right, as if i watched! hehe.. after training (if you could call it one because we just talked about stuff), crissy and i went to mcdo via shelleys maroon car (haha, long story).. when we got there, we saw a LOT of knollers including our friends from the yellow batch who are mick, zandra, andrea, guiang and sis (russalie).. they were messing with us and our food.. losers! :)) kidding! mick even gave my P5 donation to her to the lady who asked for some money.. iba na pag gusto maging student of the month! :)) anyway, we took pictures with them and we asked them if they could come to our competition on oct. 1 but it turned out that they couldnt because its also mick's bday that day! screw that.. hehe :P can you just move your bday to another day instead?

mc vs st scho - we (ate isay, crissy and i) went to st. scho to watch a basketball game.. when we arrived there, it was already the 3rd quarter with around 3 minutes left.. at least, umabot pa! we won by 25 points, i think and the st scho people were shouting "st scho still rocks" "mc people are losers!" and stuff like that in front of our faces.. im not mad.. actually, its ok but the problem is, they get so freakin' annoyed when were the ones cheering.. so what do they want, a one-way thing? wherein theyre the only ones who can cheer for their school?? fine.. we were not put down by your cheers so :P...

the chaos - its weird when some people think you are mad at them when you are not.. **ehem, ehem** haha! moving on, its more weird when some people ask you for the name you want to be called by but they call you otherwise.. but the weirdest will always be thinking that you have a particular friend but when you look back after sometime, you realize that she has left you and shes living her life as if nothing happened and none of it mattered.. its weird, funny and it hurts. sacrificing some things, doing everything but then again, that person forgets so easily that you start to wonder why.. im not gonna go into detail here 'coz someone else might kill me if i do.. :P

so ill leave you thinking.............

for the squad

2005-08-28T05:30:00.000-07:00

FOR THE SQUAD

everything happens for a reason.. we might not know what it is but when the time comes, i know that we will finally be able to appreciate everything more because of the downs we have had.. after the competition, i was really touched to see faces shouting "GO MC!" with such determination.. it was a moment i will never forget.. it only showed how strong our team has become after all the bad things weve been through.. now i know that i can really put my trust to the squad knowing that they will always be there for me.. as ate naths said, team mates will always be to lift you up when youre feeling down and catch you whenever you fall.. now, i realized that my team mates never left me.. they have always been there for me when i needed them..

because of this i know that we will put twice of our effort for our next competitions since i am sure that we will treat this as a challenge for us and not as something that will put us down.. we will strive harder so that despite the bad stuff that might happen in the future, we will still be able to get what we want and what we really deserve..

thanks to ate naths because she never left us.. she put her trust in us right from the start and it never ceased since then.. i know that without her and her insipiring words, we couldnt have gone through everything with a smile.. she made us what we are today.. we are much more confident because we know that she will always be there looking out for us.. so thanks for everything..

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

the best ever. :))

LINGGO NG WIKA

ok, this is a total screw up for me, crissy and ina.. hehe, sorry classmates.. during the dance, we were running around the whole court looking for our blocking since it was our first time to do the dance with the blocking.. during practices, we only teach steps and we disregard our blocking first.. in some instances, we even learn two sides for successions.. unfortunately, it made our heads go insanely crazy!! that was really embarassing. the bad part was, even though we had masks, it wasnt enough to hide ourselves from shame.. plus jeh was screaming "go ate berns, go ate crissy, go ina!!" all through out the dance.. gee, thanks! :))

it all went well for us.. we didnt win but its fine.. what matters is, we know we did what we were supposed to do and we know that we had fun during the whole thing.. sorry if sometimes i "get mad" at you guys.. joke lang yun! haha.. but swear i was just messing around.. hehe.. on the bright side, we were declared 2nd placers in the classroom decoration contest.. yay!

anyway, after the winners were announced, crissy, ina and i went back to our classroom to pack up and get ready for galle to celebrate crissy's birthday.. so we washed our faces and waited for 3-4 (rashmi's class) to arrive.. but it took them almost forever to get there.. we never thought that they would arrive.. hehe, joke! :)) moving on.. when jeh, crissy, rashmi and i were FINALLY together, we went to the 2nd floor caf to meet up with sayawatha for the planning of our performance on september.. we spent 45 mins on finding the right music.. wooh! quite long huh?? but it was all fun..

OUR ADVETURES AND MISADVENTURES (the get away)

when everything was settled, we went to the grade school and we tried to get out of the campus.. but then again, we werent allowed to.. the guard was really annoying since he wanted us to go all the way to apsa (which is really far from there) just to get a small piece of paper called a gate pass.. rawr! so we didnt do it because of laziness.. instead, we just stayed there and looked at our other options in going out.. we called alex but it turns out that her mom is the one who will be picking her up and not her driver, so we attempted to go to the apsa because we thought that it was our last choice but on our way there, we saw lena and mick walking towards the gate.. we called them and asked them how they were gonna go out.. mick told us that she had a commuter's pass but lena forgot her wallet (with the pass) somewhere.. they gave it a shot and they went to the gate.. but they were blocked by the guard and they werent able to go out of the campus.. :P beh, hehe!

so we just stayed there and we brainstormed on the things we can do to get out.. because of this, we called ourselves, "the taxi-get aways".. a new group always meant group pictures and we couldnt let that moment pass away.. so we took pics.. yay, more pictures! :)) but after some time, we realized that we had to snap back to reality and so we did.. we figured out that mick could go and get a cab outside and make the cab go around so she can come back to MC and pick us up.. get it? oh well. and so the plan was put into effect.. when the cab reached MC, we rode it and we took a turn on the far end of the road so we could come back and get out of MC.. the plan was going well as planned but the guard spoiled everything.. he stopped the cab and let all of the people ithout a commuter's pass go out.. badtrip! mick was left inside the cab alone.. hehe, sorry for the trouble! :D

we were surprisedwhen we saw her running back towards us.. she narrated everything and we (crissy, rash, jeh and i) realized that we were causing too much hassle for the 2 of them.. so we just promised them that we would buy something for them in galle - if ever we can get there.. we said goodbye and we walked to the college lanai..

we decided that were gonna go to galle tomorrow after training instead and we would just hang-out at jeh's place the rest of the day.. but first, we passed by national to buy some VCDs/DVDs to watch.. we watched shakespeare in love but i wasnt able to finish it.. awww :(

today is a mix of everything but its all fun.. after all, every moment with the fantastic 4 is fun! just add it up with the company of new friends, it would surely make your day eventhough bad stuff happen..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRISSY!!!

performance

2005-08-20T06:41:00.000-07:00

our racket with ate naths happened last friday and it was UBER fun!

call time was 1:30pm at the rcbc plaza in makati.. pat picked us (rash, crissy and i) up at ice monster and we went to the place together.. we arrived there at around 2:30 and they were already marking the dances.. we were running like mad in the corridors looking for the rehearsal place in a big, furturistic building.. oh, the dressing room was really cool with all the yellow bulbs around it.. :P

ate naths checked our costumes and guess what? almost all of my costumes were rejected.. :)) iba na pag hndi marunong magdamit pag pangstage! anyway, we went to the theater to check out the stage and to block.. it went rather fast since we were with professional dancers namely kuya ryan, kuya mac-mac, kuya francis, ate naths, ate danie, england and the star - JOSH (he's gay, by the way) !!!! hehe, he is SO funny! as in. there was even this one time that he wore thongs and he had a small face towel to cover his "thing" so he had to walk around the dressing room with his butt towards the walls.. he fixed rashmi, crissy and pat's hair and make-up while i was took care of by ate naths and ate danie..

the performance tself was not perfect but nonetheless good. i would rate it as 8/10.. :D good enough if you count the fact that we only met twice before the performance itself..
-we were introduced as the UST salinggawi dance troup instead of "synergy".. i would not like to see the faces of their dancers if they know what had happened there.. good luck to us!
-jazz:i tripped during our turn thingy! my foot got tangled with kuya mac-mac's and i ended up landing on my butt.. get the picture? bad trip! major mistake! plus i wasnt able to do my lift with england because my hand on his houlder slipped since he was sweating all over..
-limang dipang tao (interpretative dance):i absolutely like that! well, except for the costume.. ate naths made me wear this really short pink skirt and it was uncomfortable dancing in that! the skirtis really cute but dancing in it? no thanks. -breakdancing:i like this because im not casted.. :)) so i got to watch the whole thing.. yay! but the bad part of it was i had to hold a very heavy bag with all our valuables during their dance.. rawr, i should have ran! :)) they were really good and they did hype the crowd up!
-hiphop:i spilled out every bit of energy in me in this dance.. although tiny mistakes happened, it all went well for us..

after the show, we went back to the dressing room and vanity struck again! we took vain pics with difeerent people and we even used the multi-shot feature of crissy's phone.. tsktsk, we can never have enough pics! moving on, ate naths went with us to starbucks because she cant drop us off anywhere.. we stayed there for a short time only and we just chilled in 7-11 (hi to "7-11" of the 3rd block :P).. my dad picked us up at around 12:30 already and we just stayed here, in my house, for about an hour.. we survived boredom by taking pictures of ourselves.. yeah, yeah.. i know we are vain..

at 2pm, they went to crissy's house together (rashmi was gonna sleepover at crissy's house) and i took vain pics of myself.. :)) sorry na mew! anyway, i went upsatairs to get ready to sleep.. it took me 45 looooooong minutes to finally remove my hair-do! imagine that! lotsa hairspray and hairpins were responsible for it.. by the time i was ready for bed, i was already sweating and so i had to take a shower.. struggle! but when i was over with everything, i didnt feel sleepy at all..

haaaaaay, life's so difficult tolive with..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR THE PEPSQUAD

dancing is my passion, it is almost everything in me..

for me, it is something where in i could relase everything in.. my anger, my frustrations and my joy.. however, i felt something that's weird.. i lost my liking for i lately, but not totally.. yes, i love to dance.. but trainings have been so stressful that we dont enjoy anymore and enjoying what you're doing is really a big thing..

but to the squad, we may face many challenges and difficuties that can make us weak in a sense that we start to give up.. but i belive in you guys that we can do it.. lets prove to her that we can make it and we want it.

KAYA NATIN TO KUNG GUGUSTUHIN.

'nuff said.

**sorry for not making a detailed entry.. em too lazy to do so and im not allowed to**

exams

2005-08-09T02:24:00.000-07:00

i am oh-so-happy that our exams are over.. oh yeah!

TUESDAY

chem
darnitt! chem was really hard.. i knew it was gonna be but i was expecting problem solving questions that sir de leon discussed.. but no. i was like "how will you convert this to this!?? am i the only one who doesnt know about it!??" i was so ready to scream! eventhough i studied, i really had a hard time with those problems.. the only problem i am sure i answered right is the one regarding temperature.. and if i get that wrong, i wouldnt know what to do anymore.. in one problem with the metal stuff, i answered aluminum (oh, try writing "aluminum" in script.. its fun! haha, anyway......) since it was nearest my answer.. :)) but at least we were many who answered aluminum.. around 9 i think..

when the first bell rang, i was in last problem (but i didnt answer all of the problems before it yet) and when i got my answer, i looked at the previous questions again and i tried to squeeze every bit of knowledge within my brain but with 2 mins left, i started to give up already knowing that i wouldnt be able to get it anyway.. i hate that! i studied hard for it however i wasnt able to answer everything surely.. rawr!

recess
after the test, i ate with ina (the chem genius), justine (the only one who's not my classmate) and crissy (my honeybabes).. we discussed the exam and we were talking loudly in the corridors with our clenched fists.. we werent the only ones anyway.. it turns out that it wasnt only sir de leon who wasnt able to explain clearly all the contents of the exam.. all the 3rd year students were so mad and every junior i saw had the same pissed, disgusted expressions on their faces.. waaaahh, and this is just the 1st quarter.. can chem cause more stress than this?? well.... maybe. its just the conversion which makes everyone go crazy! ****.

filipino
"good luck to your exams.." =)) haaayy............. that made my day! thanks to the one who said that....... :))
it was more or less ok.. and thank god i was able to finish reading noli monday night.. the book is really hard to understand and to make bad things worse, all dialogues, even the useless ones, are there.. it just adds up to the complication and dufficulty of the book.. but oh well, what can i do?

moving on......... for me, the hardest part was the biography of rizal which is in a narrative form.. i will appreciate it more if it was identification because there were 24 choices which you need to scan per blank.. struggle ka ba! but it went well........... :D i finished early! haha, as if it is an ahievement! i guess i am 1 out of 45 students who did.. :D

dismissal
i was supposed to meet ate mayit in the lib foyer like we did last time but ina had to go to natio where she will be picked up and we (crissy and i) wanted to go with her.. so i just left the cd's to the guard and we went to natio together.. first we left our stuff in the baggage counter and we started to explore the place.. we did stupid yet funny things with the stuff there.. for about 30 mins of roaming around, only crissy bought something.. we went to jollibee to use the bathroom and went back to natio to get our things.. tita sylvia (mom of ina) called and told ina that she was in shakeys.. so we went there and we finally met nami, the japanese girl ina's been talking about.. we ate with her in shakeys (ina's treat.. yipee! :P) and we asked her to write our names in japanese.. she had a hard time with my name.. i dont know why.. she asked me to pronounce it several times.. hehe, is it hard to say "berns"? hmmm......... something to think about!

anyway, after a delicious *FREE* meal, we went to tia maria's, which is right beside it, to see clothes being sold by a family friend of theirs.. they were nice and cheap but i didnt buy anything.. haha, labo! :P kuripot eh!! we said goodbye to tita, ina, nami, and their family friend.. (is it obvious that i keep on forgetting names??)

so i was stuck with honeybabes again.. we chilled in mcdo and started to study for social there.. we saw some friends (ivy, yeyin, zandra, max and kj) there.. for 1 hour, we stayed there in partial silence (we couldnt resist talking to each other and i bet that we will never will) as we tried to memorize all those complicated names and events.. but we eventually got cold and we went outside to get ourselves warm.. but *tan-tan-tan* fishball temptation came in.. so, we went the place where fishballs are being sold and we bought some gums too.. we ate our fresh-from-the-lutuan fishballs and went to beauty bar to kill time.. it seemed like we had all the time in the world.. oh yeah! haha, anyway......... we went back to mcdo to read our book again.. but after 30 mins, the guard realized that we were there for a long time already and we havent bought anything yet.. we had no choice but to purchase something, even the cheapest ones.. i had mcflurry and crissy had iced tea.. yum, yum, yum..

at 4:45, tito german arrived and crissy had to go already........ :(

WEDNESDAY

english
another one to be furious about.. the test was supposed to be ok except that the listening test screwed it up! we were supposed to listen to somecomversations recorded on tape.. we were so ready to listen but when it was played, all we heard was "blah, blah, blah!!" so we called ms soriano's attention to probably do something about it like change the tape or write the conversations on the board but then again, she was bad tempered and all she said was "LISTEN PROPERLY AND NO COMMENTS." it was kinda irritating because from the moment she stepped into the classroom, she was already mad and stuff.. nuckin' futs (sorry to those who cant relate).. moving on, even though we didnt understand anything, we tried to answer the first part of the test anyway.. it was silly.. even sr flores, our proctor, giggled when he heard the tape and he couldnt understand the tape too! waaah....... good thing it wasnt worth 15 points or something..

we were also asked to read 2 literry pieces and i wasnt able to understand the poem fully.. i only knew that a person committed suicide when i saw the question "why did he commit suicide?" i was like "ooohh........ i didnt know that one!" the poem was all about a person who died but it was presented through math terms and pictures.. i think its a good poem but i didnt understand it well enough to appreciate it that much..

social
oh crap, the test was HARD. especially for us, sr mac's students, because we dont have ANY notes, AT ALL! plus, the things he taught us didnt appear in the test while the things he didnt teach were all there.. we had a difficult time studying because all of the topics in the book (in the pages he told us to read) were foreign terms for us and we had to read everything from page 1-69.. quite a lot huh? there are like 7-8 impt. names/terms/places/events/dates per page!struggle, period.

there was sequencing, analogy, matching type, multiple choice, modified true or false and essay.. i liked the essay part best and i really tried to make that as nice and informing as possible so i could pull up my grades for the analogy and sequencing parts.. hehe.. good thing euclid was mentioned in the 1st math lt and i was able to answer it right :P

dismissal
rashmi, crissy and i stayed in mcdo so we could study together but before studying for cl and geom, we discussed our blog layouts first.. you see, we had to take advantage of that period because rashmi is still in the mood to make blog layouts since she has lotsa vain pics.. :)) nangbuking eh! so crissy's blog is gonna be a chaotic one while mine is gonna look like a zoo.. :)) why zoo? because they always tease me that i look like lotsa animals.. i dont know why, so dont ask me.. its only them who thinks that anyway............ haha! btw, we studied for cl after that :->

when rashmi went home already, crissy and i walked home because we wanted to exercise our freezing feet and to have some adventure! yeah, beybeh.. :)) so anyway, we went OL, checked out some blogs, looked for people in friendster and stuff like that.. it went on until 10:30.. hehe, its because crissy's dad came from a meeting so she was fetched late already.. :P

THURSDAY

geom
it is the best test ever!!!! i love it so much........ thanks sir jay, for making our lives a lot easier.. it was the first time that i saw almost all greenbatch people happy after an exam.. we love it all! it was the easiest test because it only requires common sense and imagination.. even though, almost all finished when the 2nd bell rang, it was all good......

gosh, i cant belive i was able to prove that GM is conguent to EY given that C is the midpoint of GY and EM.. wow! before, i thought that i would never be able to prove anything until forever.. but i did! waaaahahahahaha!!!!!!!! =)) hyper mode.. im just uber happy!

cl
BOOM! this is the first cl test that i found really challenging.. but nevertheless, it went well.......... i found it more difficult than geom! :)) ang labo! i really appreciate the removal of the test where in there are 2 statements and you need to say if both, the first, the second or neither are true.. sir pino, im starting to think that youre the one responsible for that.... hmmm!!!!

dismissal
the competitors for the competition on aug 27 had a meeting near the apsa foyer.. we discussed important stuff like requirements and costumes.. after that, rash, ina crissy and i stayed in the caf.. we ate crissy's big orange but when we opened it, i turned out to be suha.. hehe, iba naaaah!!! it was messy to eat but crissy handled it quite well.. nakanaks! you should have seen our table.. there were suha buts and juice all over! we eventually got bored and at the same time annoyed becasue the little devils a.k.a. brats.. they were running everywhere with their high pitched voices.. call us pikon.. (conio eh, badtrip!) so we went to the ballet center and drowned black creepy crawling animals (centipedes) in the canal.. yes, we are shallow! :)) tita sylvia called and she told ina that she was gonna pick her up at mcdo so we went there.. but unfortunately, rash didnt come with us..... :( awww!

ina went home almost immediately after we arrived there.. so crissy and i went inside mcdo already.. there were many knollers there.. im gonna try to name everyone i know.. kathryn, kara, giselle, melanie, pola, jill, max, nana, aziel, alay, stef, arby, karole, lena, dane, jampy, shauna, meg, vina, monique, teacher dan, a bboy we know and many more..... sobrang s-um-orry sa mga nakalimutan ko!! so we chilled there and after 1hr and 30 mins, we went to natio.. we did silly things and tried to learn how to apply make-up through a book.. (make-up for pep not for kikay stuff :P) crissy was fetchd at around 3:15 and she dropped me off at my house.. :D

RANDOM THOUGHTS

"though things dont last but tough people do"
......we therefore conclude that a centipede is hypotonic to water and also, it deflateswhen it dies...... (made by the historians, crissy and ina)

the past week.....

2005-08-05T20:46:00.000-07:00

im gonna try to remember all the things i have done this past week.. good luck to me!

english - we pased our life wheels and went on with the group reportings.. our group presented first because all the other groups had their powerpoint presentations in a diskette and the portable thingy for it was lost.. ms commented that our font size is too small to be read.. we didnt know that it was suppoeed to be at least "24".. oh well........ other than that, it went well.. anyway...there was this one time that sr ballano substituted for ms soriano and our class loved it.. it made us think and listen ATTENTIVELY (this rarely happens to our class).. i want him to steach us again!! rawr.

chem - wow! i cant belive that im actually starting to like chem.. its not actually that bad.. i just dont like the conversion stuff AT ALL and the lighting of the bunsen burner.. im the only one in the group who hasnt done it yet and my mind is so confused on how to do it.. its mainly because of the traumatizing thing that happened to jampy the first time she did it.. fire spread all over our table and she started screaming and all that.. she intended to move her chair away from the fire but it just got stuck.. she really wanted to move away but she couldnt.. it was so funny.. she was trying to grab my arm so she could pull herself away from it but then again, i got so scared and i walked out on her.. so she fell.. luckily, hazel was there to catch her! :)) im am so evil.. btw, that happened twice..

recess - for 2 days, i had recess with ina and justine and as usual, it was crazy.. but when wednesday came, crissy met with us and she brought A LOT of candies.. with crissy around, there will surely be more insanity..

pe - it was so funny as usual... ina and i sat in a long table that could sit approximately 8 people.. hehe, greedy! ina copied my math hw.. cheater! joke! ........when the period was about to end we just remembered that we were supposed to look for poems or pictures related to ancient mesopotamia.. how genius! so we (ina, mayet and i) looked for pictures everywhere.. it was kinda hard.. its either we sucked at researching or mesopotamia isnt that known.. (unlike us!! :)) joke) with 5 minutes left, we finally found one and we rushed to the photocopying area and the bell rang! **panick, panick, panick** **run, run, run** but as always, we did it and we werent marked late for the next subject.. whoohoo!!!

math - every math period is practically the same as the other.. lotsa seatworks/pairworks, little time, long discussion, funny mr flores, cramming and tension... yes, that does it!

lunch - ok, monday should be a day for pep lunch but only ina and i attended.. we had a "date" which lasted for like 10 mins only because lena arrived and joined us.. she did nothing but laugh at me and ina as we ate our delicious hotdog.. she said we had a weird way of eating because ina was so messy (seriously) and i ate the bread first before the hotdog.. i was sweating the whole time.. i dont know why.. :)) i ate that way 'coz i couldnt stuff the whole thing in my little mouth.. :D strategy! heehee........... we talked and talked about stuff.. (uy lena..... :"> yikee!) we went up a little early and while walking, lena accidentally spilled iced tea on aly's infuence wheel.. tsk, tsk! lagot........ moving on.... last wednesday and the days after it, our plan on freaking out crissy worked..............AGAIN! whats new?? :)) joke! we do that everytime and she falls for it every single time.. hehe, joke! anyway, justine was marked late one lunch (or recess, i couldnt remember) time while ina and i got away with it AGAIN. i dont how we do it, but it must be our talent in sneaking in..

cl - we discussed the supernovas of the past.. it was kinda boring so i was tempted to sleep but i didnt! oh yeah, beybeh.......

social - i was too lame to be true! we just discussed some stuff and discussion with sr mac is so NOT toleratable.. remember to copy notes ahead (or just read the book on your own) before the blackboard turns into a friggin' grafitti!! and im not exaggerating this time.. his notes are weird and chaotic.. words here and there, their defenitions on the other side, arrows connecting seemingly unrelated topics, circles and underlines in word that arent that important.. waah!! ms. manalac, where are you!!???

fil - we had this game thing and i participated.. yes naman! wooh..... i sat in front of the class (my back facing the board) and ms broadway wrote something on the board that i was supposed to guess.. to guess it, i should ask questions that can be answered with "oo", "hindi" or "pwede"..
so i asked "tao ba ito?" and they excitedly shouted "OO"
"related sa noli?" "hindi!"
"nasa classroom?" "pwede..."
"si ms broadway?" "hindi.."
"nakauniform?" "OO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"ermmm......pressure!" i ran out of questions and si started to say names..
"si ina?" "pwede"......... "si crissy?" "pwede"......... "si stef?" "pwede"
as it was just becoming to be exciting, time ran out and i found out that the word was GREENBATCH. badtrip, i was so close....... the other who joined were crissy who tried to guess "ateneo de manila university", drex who tried to guess "yellow cab" and mayet who tried to guess the hardest one.. "pang-uri"
oh, we let ms broadway (the word was sr. laxa) and sr laxa (with the word myra broadway) play it too...... yikee!! issue :">

THE - we went to the the room to see "a story of us".. it was so sweet and touching.. crissy, ina and i stayed in the bed even though we had a hard time on watching the film since we wanted to stay on something soft and comfy for an hour and a half.. we made jouranl entries afterwards and we were asked to bring our scrapbook materials on the next meeting..

music - we classified our voices into alto, soprano 2 and soprano 1.. but before that, we had stretching and vocal warm-ups.. ina was classified as alto while crissy and i were soprano............2 :)) may suspense pa eh! our tone was akward to sing and hard to remember.. after 1 hour of singing, we went back to our classrooms and fixed our things..

training - monday was so fun and not tiring beacause ate naths didnt come.. maybe she forgot or she had a "racket".. we were led by rash and it turned out pretty well.. we were relaxed and unfrightened so we had more fun and that is very important when dancing.. ryt?? hell, yeah. tuesday was torture, for me.. i had to do my pyramid because our group was complete.. it was so scray because there was no one to hold on to during my over-head.. shocks!

dismissal - i got to talk to mike on the phone because he was looking for rashmi and he wanted to tell her something very important.. and since rashmi wast taking her "make-up classes" which was until 6:30 and she couldnt answer her phone, he called me instead to check on rashmi.. :"> hot voice! hehe, moving on........ we went to katips to find a place where we could change rashmi's $$.. iba na! hehe, we also bought load and we chilled in ice monstah afterwards..

summary

2005-07-29T06:06:00.000-07:00

oh, great! i have finally found enough inspiration to make a blog entry.. gosh, so much has happened and i dont wanna put here every tiny detail that has happened.. so anyway, here's a summary..........

3-3's HELL WEEK

chem LT and results - damn. i totally flunked that test.. i didnt study a single thing until 5 mins before it started.. the great, stupid me! (ironic, isnt it??) so i was like "what the hell is this shit all about??" grrr! i dont fully listen to chem and i didnt study.. what does that mean?? a sucky grade. yeah, thats what i got. hmph! and you know what? i lost 6 precous points just because of carelessness and changing of answers.. i so envy ina! (hi there! :D) she managed to get a 52 even if she just watched CSI the day before the LT.. how did she do that? NO IDEA, but i would absolutely want to know how....

geom LT and results - it was fine except that i felt that i should have gotten a higher score if i just listened to sir.. congrats to yuki who got a perfect score! yay.. but he says all these crap and some arent even related to geom.. i am starting to like geom but i will never be able to like the teacher.. yah, he is funny and that stuff but he sucks at teaching.. all he ever wants to do during class is drool over ***.. :)) joke! but i learn some things like how to zoom paper manually and how to use a gigantic compass.. (if you are not in one of his classes, then you wouldnt understand me at all..) yeah, that kinda stuff..

health quiz - i (together with jampy and crissy) didnt study for that and i hate the reproductive system 'coz unlike other systems, you will have to study two kinds, the male one and the female one.. which means putting twice of your effort in studying for a quiz.. i just hope that ill get full credit for the bonus part!

t.h.e. quiz and recitation - we had a quiz on marriage and all that stuff plus a graded recitation requiring all to recite.. as you all know, i barely pay attention to teachers during classes.. good thing i was beside pat that time and she backed me up when my name was called.. thanks! as for the quiz, i knew nothing about "reality bites" and "the story of us" so i made a wild guess on 2 questions.. (but that quiz wasnt considered anymore since many havent watched the films yet.. phew!)

fil lt results - ok, i got the grade i deserved.. and its, i guess, fine..

TRAINING

im really so happy that, aside from my disastrous falls, we were finally able to do the first sequence of the pyramids.. hooray for us! it was really a fulfilling moments because you feel that you are doing the right thing and it is nice to be able to see that your hardwork finally paid off..

our routine is still not that smooth yet because we dont have the music yet but there is still time for change.. i really like our routine and i hope that it will be able to give us the titles we want..

kuya bryan taught us LA style hiphop once again and i think we were able to accomplsh more this time.. i liked the combination and i really enjoyed that session with him..

ate isay, ate charly and ate kat visited us.. its really a sweet thing for them to come despite their busy college schedules.. i appreciate that a lot and its nice to know that a part of them still remained with the squad.. and this will make them come back and cheer for us.. awwwww.........

OTHER STUFF:

i strained my right leg but ill never stop shouting "GO MC!" no matter what!
i have new friends!
i am hating this!
but then again, im still lovin' it!

"why are you like that? after all that we have done for you and now THIS??? shit."

retreat

2005-07-24T20:47:00.000-07:00

i really had a blast last thursday and friday during our retreat.. it was UBER fun..
as usual, crissy and i were late for the morning mass.. actually, we didnt get to participate.. hehe, pasaway! instead of going there, we killed time by staying in the caf, going to the lav and asking for palancas from everyone.. when we arrived in the chapel, they were already giving out instructions for the retreat and they were handing out name tags for everyone.. tsk tsk, bad crissy! bad berns! oh well, our classmates are getting used to it already...

we went to the bus and since crissy walked slowly, from being one of the first people in line, we ended up being at the end of the line.. but never mind, we were still able to get good seats because of our talent in squeezing ourselves in line and our ever-so-useful charming smile.. oh yes, we are great!

after the very loooonnnggg bus ride, the longest ive ever been on, (note the sarcasm) we were welcomed graciously by the nuns and we were asked to surrender all electronis devices to sir laxa, our new homeroom teacher.. but of course, becasue we are so obedient, we didnt surrender any of our stuff.. we left our bags in the dining hall and we proceeded to the conference room.. we were given house rules and we had this imagination thingy exercise.. it started with "imagine that youre on a shore...." knowing that it would be boring, i slept.. when the lights were turned on, some of my classmates were already crying while crissy ina and i were like "ha!?? ano ba nangyare? bat sila umiiyak??" the we pretended were were crying too.. hehe, pasaway! after that we had our merienda..

after a delicious meal, the ice cream bell rang and we all had to go back to the room for our 1st activity.. we had a get to know thingy and i treated it as a joke and all of my classmates just laughed at me.. indeed, ill continue to strive for world peace!! haha =)).. moving on, we were tasked to put all of the people whom we grew up with on the cartolina with symbols of their infuences to us, be it good or bad.. ok, i wasted time.. i read articles on the magazines instead of giving full concentration to the activity.. the result? cramming beybeh. i cut stuff, from here and there without even asking what we had to cut out.. youll know later what happened..

we had our lunch in the dining hall.. it was really delicious and we sat with sir laxa.. yeah, yeah.. what were we doing there in the first place, huh!? we ran out of seats and we ran out of food.. so we had no choice but to sit with him for lunch.. it was pretty akward though.. he was supposed to sit there alone but then again, he was so lucky to have us with him for lunch.. haha, sipsip!!

anyway, we went up to our rooms with our stuff.. i went with crissy to look for room 232 and ina went with monique to find room 237.. we searched the whole 2nd floor to search for our lost rooms and it really took a lot of time.. grrr, crissy is indeed cursed.. haha, jokeness! after 10 minutes of fatigue and depression, we were finally able to see our rooms and surprisingly, they were beside one another!! alright... we settled down, chatted for while when this really great idea popped out of our genius minds.. what if we transeferred one bed into another room so we could all sleep together?? one good idea. so we went to ina and monique's room, got one of their beds (careful not to make loud noises), carried it upto the door, peeked outside to be sure that no one was there (either sir or one of the nuns) and when we were sure that the coast was clear, we silently went outside.. with half of the bed already outside the room, we were quite sure that we would make it.. but all stories have antagonists.. sir laxa suddenly arrived and he messed our brilliant plan up.. so we had no choice but to explain everything to him and we begged him to allow us.. he was kind enough to allow us to do so.. another evil plan worked! whats new?? after all, we are all so smart.. hehe, joke.. we played cars in our big bed and when we finally got tired of it, we just took pics of ourselves.. ina wanted to take pics in the cabinets so we looked outside to see if anyone was willing to take our pics.. we saw mayet and lena outside and as usual, mayet wanted to be in the pic too.. that leaves lena to be our photographer..

here are some of the pics..

aacck!

sitting on crissy

funny

blooper

cabinet! yay!

after that was good-bye to mayet and lena.. bue the 3 of us, still in picture mode, went to the lav for more pics.. nako, iba na pag vain!!

hanging out

assets XD

bored

hihi

hihi

lola cuhreesy

we were so tired and perspired so we decided to go back to our rooms to, well, relax a bit.. but i think we disturbed the spirits living in the lav since we were locked-up inside.. ina and i tried to oped the front door together but it was like impossible to do so.. we were almost succeeding because the door was out of its frame already but it went back.. many times, that happened.. on the other hand, crissy tried to open the back door.. but the knob on that door wasnt moving at all.. it was really scary.. ina and i were able to open the front door and were ready to shout at the person outside but then again, there was no one in the hall except for mao who was in front of the back door.. we asked her who was trying to lock us in but she said no one was there.. she also told us that she just arrived because she heard us scream and she was trying to open the back door but it was locked.. ooohh, creepy isnt it!??

we went from door to door to narrate what had happened to us.. haha, proud pa kami eh! anyway, we were suppsed to take more pics but unfortunately, the ice cream bell rang.. i was expecting boring activities however, we were taught a really interesting dance.. crissy, ina and i danced with soul and passion.. it was realy tiring since we were the only ones giving all of our energy into the dance.. so, praise us, cmon cmon! the class was divided into 2.. i was with ina while crissy was with monique.. our group had to go all the way upstairs for the sharing while the other group just stayed there in the air-conditioned room.. how unfair is that? really unfair. haha, labo! we had to share the things we put in our cartolina and while others were sharing, i realized that i did the wrong thing.. their cartolinas were filled with illustrations while my cartolina was filled with words.. i learned that we were supposed to put symbols.. wow, my work was so symbolic.. indeed, it was.. the sharing went on lightly and happily.. i really had a hard time to share since i did an incorrect project..

we went down for merienda and i was really surprised because the rest of my classmates had red, sore eyes.. it only means that they cried while we laughed 80% of the time.. hehe, mali nanaman ba ginawa namin?? :))..

we went back to the conference room and we learned another dance.. we performed with every but of energy in us.. haha, feel na feel nman namin! it was really fun.. after that, we were tasked to write a letter for our parents.. as far as im concerned, i wrote the shortest one.. oh well.............. im a woman of few words.. :)) we submitted it to the nuns and we formulated questions for our parents to answer.. this is to gain more understading of their behavior towards us.. we hardly participated in this..

parents started to arrive and we had our dinner with them.. dinner was the suckiest meal of the day.. good thing my dad brought some food for us to share.. yum, yum, yum..... i cleaned up my mess and the next thing i realized was my dad suddenly disappeared.. i thought he was just in the bathroom so i didnt bother to look for him but when we entered the conference room to start the open forum, i saw that my dad was one of the panelists.. grabe, nakakahiya talaga yun!! he was the one who answered one of the questions and crissy, ina and i proudly cheered for him.. =)) it was hilarious! we listened to each other as we tried to crack our bones.. hehe, ang babaw noh!?

we gave our letters, we had our heart-to-heart talks.. my dad was one of the earliest to leave.. that left me all alone since crissy was with the orphans and ina was still with her parents.. i was supposed to go to the lav.. actually, i was already there but i ran away since i got so scared.. i just waited for ina to finish so she can come with me to the lav.. but it took her so long to finish.. i just looked for crissy all over the place but she was no where in sight.. i looked like i was crazy.. running back ang forth trying to find lost friends.. hehe.. since i needed the lav badly, i asked people to accompany me there.. lena was kind enough to go with me and i chilled with her until our own friends turned-up..

when i finally found crissy and when ina was done talking to her parents, we went to our room together but it was closed.. we started to think of bad things, we thought we were cursed and we shouldnt have went there in the first place.. hehe :D.. but seriously, we didnt lock our door when we went out.. omg, freaky!

we took a quick shower and brushed our teeth.. we were supposed to sleep already but our hungry stomachs didnt allow us to.. i went outside and shouted "SINO MAY PAGKAIN???" and heads started to turn to my direction and they started laughing at me.. i didnt know that it was improper to shout at that time esp. about food since we weren't allowed to eat in our rooms.. =)).. but because of that, people asked me to go their room to get mcdo stuff.. oh yeah, finally! we went to our room and ate there.. we didnt know where to put our trash since they will be cleaning up the rooms afterwards and when they see food on the tash bins, BINGO!! so we just left our trash inside our cabinet and wel just get them 1st thing in the morning..

at 12 mn, the 3 of us slept.. and it was a bad thing to do because lights off was supposed to be at 10.. haha :D

the morning bell rang at around 5am which is quite early for me because i usually wake-up at around 5:45 or something.. i checked if people were already awake.. surprisingly, they have had a shower already.. i hurried to the bathroom and i took a bath fastly.. i dressed to my casual clothes and went down to the chapel for the morning mass.. i was still so sleepy then and we were required to attend mass.. wow, what a good way of waking-up your soul, a mass for an hour without breakfast.. great!

breakfast was not until 7:30.. i really took time in eating food.. it was the best meal in the whole retreat.. we had confessions and we read our palancas.. we were also taught the palm tree dance.. crissy, ina and i got in touch with our inner palm tree and through that dance, we can now feel it growing within us.. i love it! :)) our last activity was the "i like you because.......", "im sorry because...." and "i wish.......".. since sachi was absent, sir laxa had to join us and it was really an akward moment saying stuff like that to him.. we brought down our bags and our electronic devices were retuned.. oops, i mean their.. we took even more pics.. i have proved that our class is the vainest of all.. here are some.. check this out for more!

sweethearts

we went to our bus and i suddenly realized that we didnt get our trash from the cabinet.. oh well, it was too late to go back for it.. we arrived at mc at around 1:45.. all of us proceeded to the apsa foyer to get english and math hand-outs.. we met up with rashmi near the bulletin board and we all proceeded to the sportscom for training.. it was really uncool to know that your other classmates will be going to a soiree in jo-din's house afterwards while you are stuck in school for a tiring training.. dont get me wrong.. it isnt the soiree but it is the bonding time i want to experience.. ryt ina??

that ended our retreat.. sobrang BITIN!!!

ou training was held in the 2nd floor caf since there was this meeting thing in the sports com.. i wasnt able to do my side of the pyramid which really sucks.. hmph, imma do it next time! hell yeah.. training ended at exactly 6 and since there was still time to watch the basketball game in the sportscom, crissy and i went there.. it was fun watching the game especially i was with my haneebeybss.. awwwwww :">.. kilig! hehe.. mc lost but they put up a good game.. they even had an OT.. and thats really impressive isnt it?? i mean, they played against UP alumni..

crissy and i went to the college and we played cards again.. guess what?? i actually won in some pusoy dos games.. yeah, i actually suck at that but i managed to win.. oh yeah!! haha.. crissy brought me home.. yey for crissy!! :))

"whats happening to us? we started strong and now just because of a flower, we are falling apart?? it makes no sense..... but isnt too late to do anything.."

sunday and monday events.......

2005-07-19T05:52:00.000-07:00

wow.. i am in blogspot already.. all of a sudden, xanga became so dull and boring.. so i decided to transfer here for a change and im lovin' it..

sunday

GOLD'S GYM STREETDANCING COMPETITION.

jeh, rash, crissy and i met up in ice monster at katipunan.. but as usual, crissy was late so we just practiced our moves while waiting for her.. we tried to recall the combination kuya j taught us.. good thing we were together 'coz one brain couldn't possibly accomodate the whole thing along with the geom theories, scientific notations and the history of man.. so we tried to connect everything we remembered until we finally got it.. it took time though because we were arguing about the sequence of the 8's but i am 75% sure that we got it right.. hoorah!! we were reviewing the steps in our minds when "first day funk" was played on the radio.. i dunno why but jeh and i stood up, almost immediately, and we tried to catch up to the fast beat of the song.. it was funny because we couldn't do the 1st few 8's and we were stopping in between the steps.. :)) haha.. but some minutes before the song ended, we finally got it right and we took our well-deserved rest............

it was already 10:45 when crissy arrived and we rushed outside to find a cab..

when we arrived there, we looked for some friends who could give us company.. we scouted the place until we found kuya kyxz, maiah and a girl.. we asked them where we could buy tickets and they told us that they wouldn't be selling until 1.. during the conversation, i accidentally kicked a plastic bag with C2 held by an old lady.. i don’t even know why i did that :)).. i was so shy and i kept my head down while the lady walked away from us.. when she disappeared from my sight, i shouted "ano ba yan.... nakakahiya un ah!!" then i demonstrated it to them since they looked clueless.. but you know me, i tend to exaggerate whenever i re-enact something so ended up being laughed at.. oh well, im kinda used to it.. hehe..

we decided to hang-out somewhere while waiting for the competition to start and the best place we could find was beside a food store.. we sat there, talked about things and jammed.. we sang "our" songs and when i say "our", it probably is senseless.. we just sang and sang and sang, blurted out words, blah blah blah and we actually sound good.. haha, the pride!!!!! i actually liked the way we killed time that way but 1 hour is too precious to waste.. (remember, time is gold!!) so we had to put our evil plan into effect, we sneaked into the coliseum and we made our way to the side of the court.. we found seats for ourselves and we chilled there for a couple of minutes.. but unfortunately, we were shooed away by this unknown guy.. i hate that part, we had a hard time going in but then again, we had to go back to the front and buy tickets.. we went there and there was already a huge crowd lined-up.. we went to the end of the line right in front of the car of kuya kyxz.. we saw jojo there and we were having a go on each other.. haha, that was funny :D.. and there was this really cute guy wearing orange and he kept on looking at us because it was kinda obvious that we think he’s cute.. :”> it was getting kinda boring and we’re not used to that at all so we just we just wrote silly stuff on the dusty window of the car of kuya kyxz to cheer ourselves up..

we bought tickets with the help of ate kara and we went back to our line.. however, more people started to arrive and so we made our way to the front and we left jojo behind.. hehe, ang sama!! so after 30 long, hot minutes, the gates were opened and we squeezed through the crowd.. good thing we had rashmi with us because she was the one leading the way.. without her, we couldn’t have made it in at all.. we got separated while we were trying to jostle through the crowd.. we got ourselves stamped and we sat in the best seats we could find…

we were kinda restless already when the show started.. but the sleepy feeling went away almost at once when beats were played and the contestants assembled in the court.. FLAVAH went first, followed by CADS (they were really good.. I dunno what happened to the judges.. it’s so not right!), then the UP street dance rocked the house (we were like “OMG! good thing they didn’t join girbaud or else we lost), the next group was an all-guys crew.. THEN ***tan-tan-tan*** all-stars hyped up the crowd with their amazing number!!!!!!! our jaws dropped dead upon seeing them perform and since some of them were our friends, we screamed our throats out for them.. they were excellent.. after their performance, we were already so tired and it actually felt like training for an hour.. wooohh!!!! after a terrific performance from them, more crews moved to different tunes including KUYA BRYAN’s crew (they were good, I guess.. it turned out that the combination he taught us was derived from their competing piece..), letran’s STREETBEAT and the SAYAWATHA..

it turned out this way:
CHAMPIONS were of course, all-stars
1st runner up – UP streetdance
2nd runner-up – letran’s STREETBEAT
3rd runner-up – KUYA BRYAN’s crew
4th runner-up – the SAYAWATHA
5th runner-up – I totally forgot!!!!

huraahh for all-stars and congrats for a well-deserved title!!!!!!!

we decided to chill in starbucks after the competition so after watching all-stars perform again, congratulating all the winners and watching some breakdancers do their thing, we went there…… we had a really funny conversation with jonald.. he really entertained us, didn’t he?? He drew some stuff for us and it was so cool..

at 7:30, we left the place with him and we rode a cab to crissy’s house but dropping-off jonald first at greenbelt.. the taxi driver started to ask us to pay additional 30 bucks because he said that our destination was rather far.. we were supposed to agree already but jonald told the driver not to since we were just students all that stuff.. they argued and the driver seemed to lose his temper and he shouted.. my heart suddenly stopped beating and I was so thankful that jonald was there with us or else…………….. who knows what might have happened!??

upon arriving there, we told jonald that we were just gonna find another cab because the cab driver was already mad.. we walked with him to the fountain, went up since we couldn’t find any of his friends, called maiah who told us they were downstairs in seattle’s best and again, we went down………. we left him there and we went to KFC to buy snacks.. surprisingly, we saw jojo and ate eyevee (I hope I spelled it right..) there having dinner.. crissy and I went to the lav while rashmi and jeh lined-up for food.. after buying their food, we took another cab and went to crissy’s house..

we saw crissy’s car in front of a mini store in their village and we hitched a ride to their house instead..
we ate dinner there but actually only crissy and I ate..

at around 10pm, jeh and rash decided to go to Rockwell because they said they wanted to hang-out some more.. so that left me with crissy again.. hmph! hehe, joke!! We watched monster-in-law together, played cards and went online..

monday

rashmi and jeh arrived at around 11:45 so that more or less makes it the next day.. they narrated to us the things that happened there and we answered some loooonnnggg surveys because we were so bored.. after some time, we got tired of the internet and we played cards while watching myx instead..

we ended at about 2:30 in the morning and I wasn’t even sleepy yet but we had to take a good rest to have enough energy for gym hours later..

o->>ZZZZZZZZZZZ<<-o

we woke up at around 7:30 which isn’t any good coz gym was gonna start at 8 and it is quite far from crissy’s house.. we took quick showers, had some breakfast and watched cheerleading and gymnastics competitions.. crissy asked their helper to find a cab but they failed to and we had to take a trike until the gate and find a cab from there.. we were already near the gate, when rain started to pour.. hence, we had to wait for it to stop.. after a couple of minutes, we walked outside the village and we searched for a cab.. it took us about 45 friggin’ minutes to find one..

we arrived at the gym late.. duh, what else could we do?? but the good thing was coach wasn’t there yet.. we stayed in the canteen and we waited for coach there.. it turns out that he didn’t know that we were gonna go to the gym that day.. humeigh nalang tayo.. we had barely an hour left before 12 so we had to rush everything.. the warm-up, the corners….. gosh, the corners was tough! just so you know, we didn’t pay for that session……..

jeh dropped us off at mcdo and we saw seza and audrey there, planning for the acquaintance day party.. naks, responsible kids.. hehe! We went to the lav to wash our feet and we realized that there is nothing left to buy at mcdo and so we went to kenny rogers but there wasn’t anything there either.. to satisfy our grumbling stomachs, we just bought some candies and c2 and we brought that all the way to kfc because I wanted macaroni salad for lunch..

ina arrived in casual clothes and she wanted to go to ice monster so she could taste it for the first time.. crissy and I didn’t buy anything there but we were happy with our fishballs…. crissy’s mom was supposed to drive us to kiara’s house for the cl/fil project but I think she had an errend therefore, we arrived late there..

in kiara’s house, we weren’t able to do anything.. I think they did but the moment we arrived, bianca had to go already.. so we ended up playing cards.. yeah, cards again!!! we can never get enough of it.. would you believe that we even have play money as bets?? yeah, you should.. it’s true.. I also found out about the harry potter book 6 highlights.. yeah, it pissed me off but I couldn’t resist not hearing it..

tita jonie (crissy’s mom) fetched us from there and when we arrived at her house, ina’s mom was already there waiting for us.. I rode with ina until the 1st over-pass in katipunan, I walked to the other side and I took a trike from there..

that more or less wraps-up everything..

I will only update during weekends because I practically do the same thing during weekdays.. you wouldn’t want to hear the same old sh!t everyday would you??
