August 21
No classes due to Ninoy Aquino's 13th (if I'm not mistaken) death anniversary. We missed our Speech class again...Again...AGAIN...):

August 22
Finishing of TLE Practical Test. I regret the fact that I didn't follow most instructions.

Dismissal: We stayed in school to finish, or at least to start, our Paskil Pinoy. But hey, everything we did were put to waste. Ayaw madikit ng sand, ng crepe papers, lahat na. So we removed all of those again. Thank God Miss Fronteras was there so some of my lazy classmates were forced to move because they know it's part of their grade. HA-HA. I and Hedda went home at 7pm.

August 23
We watched KontraGapi. And oh, amazing. Believe me or not, but that was the first time that I've been proud of the beauty and creativity of our culture.
Computer Long Test. Better than the first one. (:

Dismissal: First, we went to Angelicum to give support to STC's BAsketball Team. I saw my Grade 4-6 classmate, Patricia Ricafrente. Not much changes, still the same old naughty kid, huh. Then, at Ashley's BIG house to practice for the Sagutang Diyalogo. Raided their refrigerator. Yumm. then after, around 7pm, we went at Cajun Restaurant, owned by them. Yumm. Thanks to Ashley, umabot ng P600+ yung kinain naming tatlo. (:

August 24
Sagutang Diyalogo for Pinoy. Good thing Carla and I were saved by the bell. We were not prepared that time, and take note, I don't have my costume. So that means, we'll be the first on Monday.

Dismissal: We went at Ashley's BIG house AGAIN for the same purpose. We did the same things. FUN.

August 25
We performed Mayamang Babae, Pobreng Babae in front of Ms. Fronteras. We were six then who were chosen to compete with each other. Tris as the pobre and Carla as the mayaman won to represent our class. Congrats girls. (:
PEH Gymnastics. As usual, I was exempted due to physical and medical reasons. Whatever.

Dismissal: Our kada, with Carla and Hedda, went at KFC Banawe for our open forum. Iyakan sessions. Honestly, I still cannot breathe smoothly after that. Many things are still bothering me, yes, until this very time. Sir Estrellado and Mrs. dela Cruz were there, too. We went home at around 7.

August 26
Sleep Day.

August 27
My grandmother's 75th birthday. We went at Pasig to celebrate that event. 5 out of 7 families were there. TOTAL FUN. How vain my cousins were (and my tita). Went home at around 7pm.

and today...August 28
Homeroom. Had our Faith Sharing to start the second quarter spiritually. Oh, I was surprised but happy to know that the thief of the class was found out already.
Computer. Results of the Practical Exam and Long Test were given. Good.
Religion. Watched "The Mission". We can't understand the story however. But I guess it must be interesting as it is a true-to-life story.
Speech. Extempo - Practical Test. My classmates didn't do quite well. It is obvious as shown on the face of Miss Fronteras. I'm quite nervous because when she comments, she's really serious and somehow, you can feel less of yourself.
Pinoy. We finally performed. And I was disappointed that I forgot my line but then I was able to correct it. But you know what, Hera said that If I didn't correct it, she should have not notice it, and I would get a perfect score in the memorization. And yes, I got a minus five because unfortunately, the line I forgot, which is the second to the last, is the longest. How unlucky am I, huh.

I need to do my Bio assignment today and obviously, I don't want to do it now and instead, my dears, I'm craving for sleep.

tinay. (:

August 19
We had our nine-hour-practice for Mayamang Babae, Pobreng Babae. I was with Hera, Tris and Rose. A lot of thanks to Tristel for teaching us everything...how to deliver our lines and how to act those out. I bet Tris and Rose would be our representatives for the competition. Good luck to us. We also had commercials in between our practices. You know, recordings! I, Hera, and Tris feel like we're recording artists and we sing with different voices. FUN!

And by the way, this week and the next are so hectic for the Pinoy area. We have lots of activities for the Buwan ng Wika and for the Pinoy subject itself...sagutang diyalogo, banner contest, class decorations, Kangkong project, etcetera.

August 20
I devoted my whole day yesterday doing the banner itself...just the sacks. It was really hard. The whole day doing it is enough to be an evidence to tell you how hard it is. HA-HA. I need to measure, cut, tape, sew, then again, measure, cut, tape, sew, for a hundred times.

And today...
A lot of things needed to be accomplished. Got to start them now. :)

My entries are so lame...narration eh.

tinay. (:

I owe this blog a lot of kwentos.

August 14
Religion and Social Science exams. I was expecting that Religion would be really difficult, and SocSci, on the other hand, would be easy. And damn, my expectations were totally the opposites of what the tests were. I love Religion test, enough to pull my low quizzes and long tests. SocSci test was a headache. And to think that I was able to review only the first chapter of the book. How's that?

August 15
Biology and English. Bio test was so looong. nineteen-pages-ten-papers to be exact. I wasn't able to answer the experiment part which is 15 points. Huhu. English test - I wonder why the things we tackled weren't included in the test. You know, order of adjectives, transitives and intransitives, and the like. The hardest was the Idiom part. Imbento na lang, fork in the bread!
Dismissal. I, Hedda, Hera, Sugar, and Joh had our lunch at KFC. Chicken Steak! Then we went at Jolibee, where Nikki, Tris, and the others joined us. Then McDo. Cahta's group joined us too. And so, we were like a battalion of ii-6's then.
At 1pm, we went back at STC to have our Math review, ii5 and ii6 with Mrs. Garcia. And that started everything. And everything means those things that until now, we have yet to resolve.

August 16
Pinoy and Math . Both in the moderate level. I love Ms. Gino, even if we had tons of lessons in the first quarter, everything in the test were taught by her. I was surprised when I heard students from other sections complaining, "Hindi naman tinuro yun eh!". And yeah, exams are finally over.
Dismissal. I, Hedda, Hera, Haze, Tris, Thea, Dhanika, Magic, Geline and Keeshia went at Starbucks to celebrate. Yes, to celebrate the end of the ~~freakin~~ first quarter.

August 17
During our Group Guidance periods, we watched Finding Nemo in preparation for the upcoming Father-Daughter-Bonding Activity. SocsSci period was a total blast! I cried due to a thousand laughter. I love Ms. Rodeo...comedienne talaga!

August 18
PE Practical Test. Binuyuogan Dance, a folk dance where you have to have a pot on your head while doing its movements. I suck at that, who doesn't? HA-HA. (If you are a judgmental person, don't continue reading this entry) Our CS grade in Math were given. And not to boast, my original Class Standing grade is 97. But due to STC's grading system, wherein your grade will either get higher or lower depending on your batch's standing, that 97 became 93. And look, those who has 73 as their original CS, were lucky that that 73 would turn 83. According to Mrs. Garcia, that is because the mathematically challenged are pulling down the grades of those who are good in Math, and vice-versa. Quite unfair huh? Anyway, okay pa din, as they say, mataas pa rin naman.
Dismissal. Celebration again. I, Hedda, Keeshia, Hera, and Kat went at Starbucks. Hera and I made our Second Quarter Resolutions. Whatever. :)

tinay. (:

This day is not a good one, and to make it more exact, it's the worst day so far in my sophomore year.

Whatever had happened, it's just between me and my friends. Though it's not really a big deal, maybe little ones that when added together, pushes the waters inside my eyes to surrender its holding back.

However, I am grateful for my friends for they gave me the happiness I so much needed and was truly appreciated that time. It was already dismissal and they planned to have a group study. I was not in the mood to join them yet I still managed it because I knew I needed to and somehow wanted it as well. So we waited in front of Gate 7, and while doing so, we bought some isaw and Coke. Yumm. We were twelve then. We rode the jeepney then a tricycle to reach Starbucks Banawe. There were already Geline, Magic, and Keeshia. We all ordered a frappe and proceeded to making kwentos. Haha. Only a little time was devoted for the review. Still good. And for that short time, an hour or so, I knew by my heart that I was enjoying with myself. I was able to forget my worries and my whatevers that make me feel crazy. Haha.

God, thank you for my friends: Geline (for the half-libre), Hera, Dhanika, Hedda, Thea, Nicole (for the ride), Cahta, Tristel, Kat, Andie (for the pics). (:

Thank you also to you, my dear blog, for you always take away my aloneness and my deppressions. Swear, writing an entry makes me feel that someone is there, listening...just listening...and it gives relief.

tinay. (:

God, I need Your help...would You?

I have been so much pressured ever since the day of my sophomore year started unnoticeably. I didn't expect this kind of helplessness and restlessness would beset (sounds exagge) me since I never felt this burden before, or at least not this much. It's definitely not just about school works whatsoever but it involves so much about my personal and social life. You need not to know about my everyday situations to understand me...because I'm pretty sure you yourself had experienced those kinds of dillemas in the whole of your existence.

My mind is brimming with so many thoughts that now, I don't know which should I resolve first. Don't worry, I'm near to bursting those out.

I feel stupid.

I feel rude.

And now, I feel weak.

Lord, beg me, I need help.

And it's best if it'll come from YOU.

I know, it will.

Would You?

Please...

tinay. (:
