well, it's 6 days before christmas! and it's been 9 days since my last post. a lot of things happened last week and it was really a blast!

last last monday [dec. 11] we had our christmas party in geog 1! it was great! we even made our professor dance the "boom tarat." jason, my classmate who's very funny, lead the dance!

last last tuesday [dec. 12] i had my first long exam in math17. i was so nervous but i think i've done well

last wednesday [dec. 13] my mom and i went to greenhills to shop for christmas gifts. imagine, we only had a thousand bucks and we bought gifts for 8 people! then we ate in yellow cab. it was really tiring tough, coz there were so many people.

last friday [dec. 15] was the oblation run. tricia, rachelle and i planned to watch it together but i ended up watching it alone. tricia wasn't able to come and rachelle was stucked in their tambayan, that's why. i was at the back so i didn't see it clearly! hehehe! after that, i just went to sm coz the lantern parade was cancelled. while i was there' i even saw anna g. and nadine. then during the night we attended the first simbang gabi. we were the sponsoring family! hahaha! my father read the reading and all and they were the one who do the offering. it was tiring but i found a cutie there anyway! hahaha! he's a sakristan!

saturday, i was reminiscing the start of PDA! hahaha! am i being way too sentimental? PDA is one of my favorite shows. and luckily, my bet, yeng constantino, won. well, she really deserves it coz she's really talented!

by the way, princess hours started showing yesterday! it was really nice di ba? but the musical score was over! well, just continue watching it coz it's really good and fun. baboosh!

oo nga pala, nuod kayo ng princess hours! sa dec. 18 na [nag-plug daw ba? hahaha!]. maganda yun. background song ko nga yung theme song nun eh! merry christmas and a happy new year! mwahaha!

ei! i'm back once again! did you guys see the trailer of the new harry potter movie? just seeing it makes me so excited! it's been a year since the last movie was shown & i really look forward to the new one. i just hope it would be better than the last. this one would be shown on july 13, 2007. it's the first time that it was not shown during a november.

about the trailer, daniel radcliffe had a new haircut. there was even a scene were he kissed cho chang [duh!]. most of the scenes in the trailer was buildings & all [it think it was in london]. there was a scene in hogwarts but it was minimal. and the one who's playing luna lovegood looks old! hahaha!

well, let's look back on time. i started to read Harry Potter when i was on the 5th grade. it was featured on F![show in abs-cbn] & it fascinated me so i bought it. i think i was the first one to read that book in our class! hahaha! it didn't struck me that much until the movie came in 2002. then my harry potter craze started. i really loved daniel radcliffe! i bought all the books. i had books 5 & 6 exactly on the first day of release. it was expensive [around Php1500] but that didn't stop me to buy. then i finished reading it for 2 days. i can't stop myself from reading it coz the story's so good. it's really unputdownable!the 7th book would be released, i think middle of 2007. there was a rumor that it'll be on july 7, 2007 coz it's 07/07/07. hahaha! that would be really cool. but i'm really sad that it will be the last book. plus there was another rumor that one of the main characters will die!hope that's not true.

****
so what happened this past few days? thursday: i wasn't able to attend my first class coz i'm 30 mins. late. so i just went to casaa and ate food. i stayed there for an hour alone. luckily, tricia has no class so she was able to join me later. then we went to our geog1 class. tricia has no geog1 class so she went home already. geog1 was fun! we played pinoy henyo! hahaha! then i went to my math17 class. i was 30 mins. early coz my prof in geog1 dismissed us early. well, i did my first boardwork! i think that was the start of getting good grades in math! friday: i had a meeting with my groupmates in kas1. we talked about our report then we part ways. i went to my next class in which we had a quiz. i only got 13 out of 20! hahaha! after that i ate lunch with tricia. we went to the "beach house" to buy food. we had their very famous barbeque for the first time, after a semester in UP. we didn't eat it there though coz there were so many people. instead, we went to vinzon's and ate our food there.

****

christmas is here. i still don't know what to give to my friends. maybe another friendship bracelet! hahaha! i was thinking of giving them a personalized statement shirt! that's hot! hahaha! byers!

ngayon ay araw ni pacquiao. pagkagising ko [mga 10am yun] binuksan ko na agad yung tv para tignan kung laban na ni pacquiao at morales. syempre hindi pa sila naglalaban, yung mga ibang chuwariwaps muna. tapos bigla kong narinig sa aming mga chismosong kapitbahay na natalo daw si pacquiao! what? i can't believe it kaya binuksan ko yung computer para i-check sa internet kung totoo yun at sa kabutihang palad eh hindi naman. yung tatay ko nanood pa nga sa sinehan sa sm north pero wala naman siyang dalang cellphone kaya di niya mabalita yung nangyayari [kakaasar!]. kaya yun nagtiyaga na lang akong manood sa tv hanggang sa malaman na natin ang resulta. nanalo si manny nung 3rd round. kawawa naman si morales. madadagdagan na naman ang kayamanan ni pacquiao! siguro mga 500 million pesos ang kinita ni pacquiao sa laban na ito! kahit 1 million lang ang ibigay niya sa 'kin ok na! hahaha!minsan nga naiisip ko mag-boksingero na lang din ako para yumaman ako katulad niya. kaso lang parang wala rin kasi pag nanalo ako, gagamitin ko lang yung pera pangpaayos ng nasira kong mukha! hahaha! kaya wag na lang. marami pa namang ibang paraan para yumaman eh!

**flashback**

last friday & saturday was one of my happiest days last week. so what happened during those days? friday, well, i had my lunch with my two friends [rachelle & tricia] as usual. of course, we talked and talked again coz it's been 3 days since we last saw each other. this time, we didn't eat in casaa. instead, we went to vinzon's for a change. while we were eating and talking, rachelle was taking pictures of us. we were talking about the story tricia was making and it's so funny. after that we parted ways. tricia went to her class in Palma Hall and Rachelle & i went to the math building. rachelle & i decided to walk to the math building from vinzon's hall. it's so hot but we didn't open our umbrellas [though we both have one]. since christmas is coming, we remembered the song we sang in our carol fest in our 2nd yr. in QueSci. that was "jingle bells." we laughed so hard upon remembering those memories! hahaha! i really miss high school! so after that i went to my math 17 class and after that class i went to meet them again. tricia went to the math building too after knowing that her teacher can't go on with the class coz she's sick. anyway, we got together for awhile then we parted ways again. this time i'm with tricia. we walked again to vinzon's hall. well, if you know the math building is located near katipunan. it's surrounded by green fields & it's so refreshing to walk now that it's not that hot. tricia & i were laughing all over our walk coz of SOCO [the show in abs-cbn] and how gus abelgas talks! hahaha! SOCO!

saturday was another fabulous day. rachelle invited us over their house to celebrate her birthday. i went there early with tricia coz we'll have our lunch there. we were the first to arrive & we're very comfortable with their family! hahaha! there were only the three of us so we talked and talked again. we also took pictures [curstesy of tricia's cellphone] and learned a new dance from rachelle which she called the "math dance." hahaha! then our other friends arrived [zoe, jerome, karmel, anna k., dave, francis, & joyce]. it was like our reunion! we missed each other so much that we never stopped talking and telling stories to each other. of course we all laughed all the way. then in going home, we rode the bus! we were arguing in whether to take a bus or mrt but in the end we chose to ride the bus. when we rode the bus, we were so noisy! in the bus, they were playing the movie "the grudge 2." we were joking that we change our bus tickets to bulacan so that we'll be able to finish the movie! hahaha! that was a wonderful experience! thanks to rachelle's birthday we got together again!

tchus and hope we'll all have a nice week!

it's been a week since i last posted. sabe ko naman sa inyo, pag nagsimula na ang pasukan eh di na 'ko masyado magpopost. today, babawi ako kasi wala naman ako pasok kaya may oras ako para gawin 'to. well, mahabahabang usapan 'to, kasi ikukuwento ko kung ano nangyari sa 'kin nitong past few days.

last thursday simula na ang second sem. maaga 'ko pumasok kasi magkikita kame nin a rachelle at tricia. tapos yun, usap-usap andali tapos nagpart of ways na rin kami. i went to my first class which is chem 1. syempre nagkaroon na naman ako ng new friends. meron din akong classmate sa eng 1 na classmate ko ulit sa subject na 'to. anyway, akala ko wala kaming class kasi di pa dumarating yung prof namen. pero after a few minutes dumating din siya, tapos nagstart na agad siya maglesson. hay. next class ko eh geog 1. nagkaroon din ako ng new friends dun at meron na din akong kakilala. late ding dumating yung prof ko dito. tapos nagcheck lang siya ng attendance tapos umalis na siya. so maaga ako nakalabas. hinintay ko si tricia na nasa kabilang room lang, geog 1 din subject niya. actually, dapat classmate ko siya kaso lang, ewan ko ba sa crs kung anong nangyari at nalipat siya sa isang class. anyway, paglabas ni tricia namasyal kame sa fc. nung pumunta kame dun may mga paintings na nakadisplay so nakaisip nanaman kame ng kalokohan. criniticize namen yung mga paintings kahit wala naman kameng alam dun! hahaha! next class ko na kaya pumunta na ko sa mb dahil math 17 ang next class ko. pagdating ko dun eh nakita yung mga kablockmates ko na classmate ko din sa subject na 'to. naghintay kame for 30 mins. sa wala. hindi dumating yung teacher namen. kaasar. kaya naman umuwi na 'ko.

the next day friday nalate ako ng gising! 7am na! eh 8:30 pasok ko! tapos kailangan maaga ako makaalis kasi sobrang traffic sa may balara! so ano pa nga bang nangyari, nalate ako ng 30 mins. sa kas1 ko! hingal na hingal ako kasi tinakbo ko hanggang 4th floor. tapos pagdating ko paalis na yung mga classmate ko! 'kala ko tapos na yung class, yun pala di dumating yung prof namen! wala akong magawa kaya pumunta na lang ako sa fave kong tambayan, ang main lib. tapos next class ko ang major ko. tapos yun naglesson na kami. tapos break ko na. kasama ko kumain sa casaa sina tricia, rachelle, at isa. after nun, naghiwalay na ulit kame. pumunta na 'ko sa mb. this time dumating na yung prof ko sa math 17. pero mabilis lang siya. kaya maaga na naman ang uwian ko.

saturday, there was nothing interesting so kuwento ko na lang what happened on sunday. well the highlight of that day was the game between ADMU & DLSU in the filoil homegrown cup. i really missed watching games between ateneo & la salle. the intesity was so high. kaso nga lang di naglaro sina jc, doug, & macky. parang they're trying yung team without the seniors who are graduating na para makita nila yung play nila sa season 70 ng UAAP. buti na lang at nandun na si chris. he was in canada nung sembreak nila eh. i really missed watching him play! hahaha!

first day of the week, nalate ako sa first class ko! hahaha! pero dun sa next class ko i was so early! hahaha! napakasaya nung geog1 class ko. wala pang lesson. nagpakilala lang kame sa isa't isa. ganito yun, sasabihin mo yung name, course, yr, at skills mo tapos bubunot ka ng mystery question. tawa ng tawa yung buong class. sobrang saya. feeling ko dito sa class na 'to ko makakatikim ng first ever uno ko eh! sa math 17 ko, naglesson na rin kame sa wakas. unti-unti na kong kinakabahan! feeling ko wala na kong matandaan! isang sem ka ba namang walang math!

tuesday wasn't a bad day. wala ulit yung prof ko sa kas1. because of that i got a chance to talk to carla. schoolmate ko sya nung highschool pero di kame close. ewan ko nga kung alam niya yung name ko pero kilala nya siguro 'ko sa face. so, yun usap-usap. na-amaze lang ako kasi nga di ba nung highschool di kame nagpapansinan tapos ngayon na mas malawak ang paligid dun pa kame nakapag-usap. oh well, wala lang! syempre sabay kame magbreak nugn mga best friends ko. tapos kuwentuhan na naman kami. napag-usapan namen yung manhattan garden city sa cubao. sabe kasi ni rachelle kuha daw kame ng unit dun. tapos napunta sa retreat namen nung highschool. tapos kung saan-saan na kame nakarating. hahaha!

yun na muna for today! anyway, i found this forum in candy mag. meron nagpost ng short story niya. ang title niya ay "my girl and i." maganda yung story so try nyong basahin.

shocks! this past few days were so exhausting. i wasn't able to open my computer for two days! can you imagine? so let's have a recap on what happened last sunday and yesterday.

sunday:
it was my baby cousin's christening and first birthday. i woke up early coz i'm gonna proxy for one of the ninangs. so, we went to the church and had my cousin baptized. then we went straight back home and had a small party. there were only a few guests, mostly relatives and close friends. the party ended around 3pm. we had nothing to do after that, so we went to quezon memorial circle and strolled around a little and went back home.

monday:
this day is enrollment day. enrollment day = walking day. well, i woke up very early so that i'll be first in line for enrollment. i woke up around 5am, went to UP around 6am and arrived there at 7am. so first i went to my college which is located in the 3rd floor of the main library [i was so tired of getting up and down the stairs!]. there were no people yet so i decided to go to Palma hall. then i went back to my college again. this time a few students were there so i stayed so that i'll be the first to be advised by the college adviser. i waited for an hour then i had my turn. the adviser noticed that i didn't get any major subject so she forced me to get 2 major subjects. luckily, i was only able to get 1 major coz the other major was in conflict with my schedule. after that i went to palma hall again to enlist on chem1. but when arrived in the chem1 room they said that non-triCAL courses would be accomodated 3pm pa so i went to the gym to enlist on a pe subject. when i arrived there, the line was so long! i waited for an hour then i decided not to get a pe this sem coz there's no good sched. i went back to palma hall to enlist in chem1. fortunately, i got a slot in chem1 so i went back to my college to have my form 5 assessed. i also requested for a TCG for my scholarship [i got a GWA of 1.5!]. then i went to vinzon's hall with rachelle to ask about our scholarship. however the people there said that we need to go back the next day so i just went home. that was around 4pm. imagine, i walked and walked for 10 straight hours!if you also noticed, in my story there was no eating. yeah, i didn't ate lunch so i dropped by McDo before going home and ordered my favorite chicken mcnuggets. when i arrived home, i ate my food then went straight to bed. i slept for 3 hours, woke up to eat dinner, watched tv a little, and then went back to sleep again.

today:
oh, when i woke up my whole body was aching especially my legs and thighs! i can't even move properly. i was still so tired and sleepy but i have no choice but to go to UP again coz that's what the person in vinzon's said. so i went back to UP and walked and walked again. climbing the stairs was so hard coz my legs really hurt! huhuhu!:( well, at least i'm done with enrollment.

anyway, the next thing is start of classes on the 2nd sem. i don't have a pe subject so i'm planning to prerog. just hope i'll be able to get it so that i won't need to have summer classes. oh well, that's it for today. 'til next time. tchus!

sembreak is over. second sem is here. oh well, today i'll tell you stories about my professors during the first sem. they're all so cool and kind. i was really lucky i got them. maybe you'll want them to be your professors too after you've read this.

teacher no. 1
prof. gerry lanuza [soc sci 2]
i really had fun in his class. he is so funny and always cracks jokes. you'll also learn a lot from him. his method is this: first, students will report on a philosopher, then he'll explain it further after the report. he always entertain questions as well. he is also so kind in giving grades. i think the lowest he gave was 1.75. another thing is that he don't give exams at all. you just need to submit two papers and that's it. i also learned a lot from him. he made soc sci 2 easier for me! hahaha! i got 1.25 from him.

teacher no. 2
prof. susanne lenz [german 10]
this prof is very kind. she is a german. she gives tests that are really easy. she also arrives late and dismisses early. sometimes, though, we can't understand each other coz she doesn't know how to speak english and tagalog very well. we just laugh if that happens. hahaha! and yeah she gives high grades too. there were even four students who got 1 from her. i got 1.25 from her.

teacher no. 3
prof. eunice eugenio [nat sci 1 - chem part]
she is very kind and not boring. her teaching techniques were good. though we're a big class [100+ students], she was able to explain all lessons well. nobody slept on her class unlike in the class of the teacher in physics part. she even made a yahoo groups for our class so that we'll always be updated. because of her i was able to pull my grade up coz my grade in the physics part is low. i got 1.25 in the 2 tests she gave, unlike in the physics part where i only got 2.5. hahaha! i got a 1.75 from her.

that's it for the teachers.

out of the topic
i really love the movie "13 going on 30." i love the feel of 80's era and songs. the story's good and funny as well. my fave part there was the ending. that's when jenna become 13 again then she kissed matt then they got married. the background music was madonna's "crazy for you" and it was really touching! hahaha! that's it for today.

51 days before christmas

yesterday, i didn't post again. as i've said, i won't post as much as i did at first coz i'll be focusing more on my studies. yeah, that's right, studies first. oh well, maybe i'll post every now and then. most likely it'll be on wednesday, saturday and sunday coz i don't have classes during those days.

for my entry today, i'll tell you what happened to me yesterday. that's november 1 and so we went to the cemetery. we didn't walk this time, we rode a tricycle. but unfortunately, there was a heavy traffic jam so it took us almost an hour to reach the cemetery. if we walked we could've arrived earlier. oh well, when we arrived we went to my grandfather's grave first. then it rained so we went to my greatgrandmother's coz there's a tent there where we can stay. my uncle who's a priest [fr. jerry orbos] held a mass there and after that we ate food. my other cousins was there, so it turned out to be a little reunion. then i remembered that one of my cousins [kuya luke orbos] studied in xavier school [chris' school]. i wanted to ask him if he's close to chris coz they're batchmates but i was shy coz we weren't that close. and so i asked my mom to ask my cousin if he knows chris. and then he said yes. they were barkada daw back in high school! they were even teammates in basketball in xavier! kuya luke promised me that he would tell me if chris has games or affairs!if only i was close to my cousin, i would ask him chris' address and number! i would even ask him to bring chris' on one of our family affairs if he can! hahaha! but at least, when i meet chris, we would have somehing to talk about! at least we have connection! hahaha!

anyway, today i went out of the house. my mother and i went to CHED to ask what happened to my scholarship. after that we went to SM North Edsa. on our way in going there, i saw my friend, zoe [i really miss the hood and quesci]. i think she's going to attend bible study. anyway, i only shopped a little in SM. i just bought a nice pair of shorts in Solo. i spotted a nice shoes but didn't buy it coz i've no money as usual. i'll just save money and buy that shoes next time. hahaha!i really love shopping! who doesn't?

btw, it's already second sem. time really flies fast. just wish that this sem would be better than last sem for all of us!

it's been two days since my last post. well, last sunday blogger was down and yesterday i just didn't feel posting. so i'll just tell you what happened during those days.

sunday:
nothing important happened. i just invited my cousins over our house again. we watched the horror special in ABS-CBN. instead of being scared, we just laughed all along. hahaha!

monday:
again, nothing important important happened. i just watched the tv all day long.

today:
happy halloween!awoooh! well, today, we went to the cemetery. we just walked coz it's just near our house. we visited my lolo and stayed for awhile, then we went back home.

out of the topic...
second sem is coming. i got enlisted in 4 subjects [math 17, comm 3, kas 1, geog 1]. i still need to get a PE subject and chem 16. but i'm thinking twice on getting chem 16. one of my professors said that if i already took natsci 1, i don't need to take chem 16. but in order to shift in ECE, one should have taken math 17, math 53 and chem 16. i don't know what to do! well, i'll be going to the College of Engineering to ask them personally, on what will i do in order to shift to ECE. college life is really quite exhausting!

after halloween, the next thing is christmas. i'm already saving money for the gifts i'll give to my friends. last year i gave them friendship bracelets! hahaha! now i'm thinking of giving them cds but i'm still not sure of that. it's really hard to find a gift for each of them so i'll just give them same gifts! that's the greatest strategy in giving gifts to friends!

and i almost forgot, it's my cellphone's 1st year anniversary! that's a great achievement for me! before, my cellphones never lasted for a year. they were always got stolen or lost. now that my cellphone's a year old, i would like to change it. i like to buy a new one, maybe a nokia 6280. hope someone can give it to me for free, like a christmas gift! hahaha! well, that's it. 'til next time!

last night while i was sitting in our living room, i saw that there was a commotion outside our house. my aunt even thought that there was a fight outside but we were wrong. the people was just outside because they saw some artists on our neighbor's house who's jeffrey santos. i was laughing hard after seeing those people so excited. there was even one kid who shouted "judy ann lumabas ka na dyan!" hahaha! they were so crazy that they waited in front of the gate for hours waiting for other artists to arrive.

anyway, after that incident i invited my cousins, who are just our neighbor, to come over our house. we played scrabble then. the game lasted for hours because we're so eager to get high points. each one of us looked at the dictionary for several minutes just to find a word that gives us a high point. well, we discovered that many words, which we don't know, exists. i really had fun playing it. we finished playing almost 2am. so when they were about to go home, we saw judy ann santos and ryan agoncillo on our neighbor's house. we were laughing so hard. judy ann was smoking and ryan really looks good. well it was really funny but i'm not really interested in seeing them. i would be more happy if i see chris instead! hahaha!

today, i am listening to OSTs of meteor garden and other chinovelas. i remember the days when i was so crazy about F4! hahaha! i spent lots of money for them. i bought their cds and watch their concerts here in the philippines. i haven't missed a single episode of meteor garden back then. there were even instances where i really ran just to be able to watch it. i'll tell you two of that instances: one, i was watching "tanging ina" with my cousin in ali mall which is just a walking distance from our house. then when i looked at my watch it was already 5:30pm(meteor garden time) and so we didn't finish the movie and ran back home to watch MG! hahaha! second, i was with my mom and my grandmother in SM North Edsa. it was already 5:00pm and i don't go home that time i won't be able to watch MG. so i left my mom and went home alone. it was my first time to commute and i was so afraid! but because i was so crazy about MG, i was able to do it!hahaha!

meteor garden and F4 greatly affected my life. our barkada's name was even influenced by MG. we even learned some chinese words because of it! ni hao ma? hahaha! my email address even have chinese words in it. well i know i'm not alone. there are many other people who also had the meteor fever just like me and my best friend tricia!

yesterday i didn't post. i was way too lazy to make one. i was busy watching vcds that i rented. that's what i did the whole day. sembreak's almost over but my barkada doesn't have a plan on what we'll do yet. i suggested that we go mall hopping. but no shopping just strolling around the malls. maybe we can start from gateway to robinson's galleria to sm megamall to shangrila to glorietta to marketmarket to sm mall of asia. maybe we could also drop by the baywalk after. hahaha! isn't it fun? it's tiring but at least we would just spend a little money. but i think it's impossible to go to all that malls in one day. a day is not even enough when you want to go around sm mall of asia!

anyway, i'm so happy with my grades this first sem. i'm so proud of myself. i never thought i would get high grade coz i don't speak much in class. being a freshman surrounded by upperclassmen, i was so intimidated. i felt that they may think my answers would be funny coz they know more since they're older. hahaha! i was being too conscious. how pathetic! but i promise this next sem i'll be more active. i need to get better grades so that i'll be able to shift in the course i want.

speaking of the course i would shift in to, it's ECE(electronic & communication engineering). it's full of math & physics but i'll do my best to finish it. graduates of ECE can work on big companies such as Smart, Globe, Intel, Microsoft, etc. and earn lots of money that's why i chose it. however, my grandmother's still pushing me to nursing coz she says it's in demand and it's the only way i can go abroad. she thinks there's no money here in the philippines and besides all my cousins are in the US now and i'm the only one left here. yeah, that was my plan before [actually i want to be a doctor, a cosmetic surgeon to be exact, when i was younger], but i change my mind coz i realized i couldn't bear the sight of lots of blood. hahaha! now, i've really decided that i would take ECE no matter they say. besides, it's my life and i don't really want to go abroad. i just want to travel around the world but i'll still live in the philippines. i really love my country! hahaha! that's it for now.

i thought this day would be another day inside the house, but i was wrong. rachelle texted me and asked me if i wanted to go and meet her and our other friends in QueSci. of course i agreed coz i really have nothing to do. so i went there and saw them. we haven't seen each other for weeks so we chat and chat. we were watching a dance competition held in QueSci, but after half an hour, we decided to go to McDonalds Carpark because it's cooler there. then we talked again about different things. after a moment, francis went to the washroom which was in the other end of the carpark. rachelle was already going home but we waited for francis for a few more minutes. but he didn't arrive so we just separate ways. i went to SM and strolled around. then i went inside Solo, one of the clothing stores in The Block. i wanted to buy a top and pants there but i don't have money so i didn't. i went strolling around again and then i found a place to eat, Burgoo. i only ordered a Hamburgoo but i didn't finish it coz it was so big. it has two burger patties and lots of fries so i wasn't able to eat it all. i just took it home.

out of the topic, i'm tired of speaking so formal in my blog. in my next entry i promise that i'll be more natural na ok!

Today is another day inside the house. One of my friends asked me to go to the “Animo Ateneo Night” but my parents didn’t allow me to because nobody’s gonna fetch me. Well, to brighten up this day, I’ll just tell you my story which I call “My UAAP season 69 Experience.”

Before, I don’t watch the UAAP coz I don’t actually like basketball. I only started watching it when I was in fourth year high school (which was last 2005). The story goes like this. My computer was in a disaster and needed to be fixed so we called our neighbor, kuya jeff, a computer technician. He said that my computer is in need of reformatting and so he did it. The process was so long that’s why I turned the TV on first so that he could watch something while waiting. I was going through different channels and then stopped it in studio 23. They were currently airing a UAAP game and I thought that kuya jeff would like to watch it cause guys usually like basketball. But instead of him watching, I was the one hooked up with the game. It was my first time to watch a full game and it was between Ateneo and La Salle so it was really entertaining. From then on, I never stopped watching basketball, may it be PBL, PBA or even NBA.

Now that I’m in college and my school’s one of the teams in the UAAP, I’m more excited and more eager to watch the games. But I was only watching it on TV cause I’m busy with my studies cause I was just adjusting in college life. Then, one day, my friend Rachelle asked me if I want to watch the game between UP and Ateneo and so I immediately agreed. The game was so great as well as the players. Of course, there’s one player that really caught my eye. It’s none other than Chris Tiu # 17 of the Ateneo Blue Eagles (I really yearn for chinitos?!). I knew him already. I have seen him in magazines and stuffs but his face was still chubby there so I didn’t notice him much. Besides, he didn’t play last year, the year when I started watching bball. When I saw him in that game, he was really handsome coz his cheeks got more intact and he had more muscles. Now, I really love him and I admit that I’m a big fan of his and the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

And so I continued watching the UAAP and at long last, the finals came and obviously, the Ateneo Blue Eagles got a place in the finals. I asked my friends if they want to want to watch the finals and they certainly agreed for it’s my treat. Everyday I called the ticketnet if they already sell tickets and everyday they also replied that they do not sell tickets yet. Then one day, I called again and they said it was already sold out! What? How could that be? I inquired to them every single day then it’s sold out in less than half a day?! I finally realized that it’s not that easy to get tickets for it’s the finals which everybody awaits for. Besides they sell the tickets to the schools (ADMU & UST) both of which is not my school (I’m from UP). So what I did is I came on the day of the Game 1 and fall in line for almost an hour just to get tickets for me and my friends. However, I only got the general admission. But it’s ok. At least we were able to watch the game.

My friends and I really enjoyed watching game 1. We were laughing all along coz we don’t know the cheers. We even got balloons for ourselves though we’re not really Ateneans. We went inside the coliseum around 2pm so we were able to watch the juniors’ game. We cheered for the Ateneo Blue eaglets of course but we reserved our loudest for the Blue eagles! When the players of the Blue eagles entered the court I was really screaming at the top of my voice especially for Chris. The game started after several minutes. At first, Ateneo’s score was several points higher than that of the UST’s, but on the second half the world turned and UST was leading. Then UST got a 1 point lead over Ateneo in the last 4 seconds. With Ateneo having only 1 second to do a winning shot (which is most unlikely to happen), the UST crowd was already screaming and rejoicing. I was losing hope too, but I said to myself that impossible is nothing for the Blue Eagles. It is true then. Macky Escalona passed the ball to an unguarded Doug Kramer making him able to do a shot under the basket which made them win over UST by 1 point lead. It was really heart pounding and all but it is the best of all the three games I may say.

The second game was supposed to be scheduled on Sept. 28, but due to typhoon Milenyo it was postponed and was moved on Sept. 30. This time we were able to acquire Upper Box A tickets using our connections inside ticketnet. I waited for my friend, Rachelle, and then we picked up the tickets in the Aurora Tower. We headed on the Araneta Coliseum immediately. When went upstairs, we saw people selling Ateneo jerseys. I wanted to buy one but it’s expensive so we just entered. Inside, we can’t find seats with great view so we just sat on the aisle on the middle wherein we can see the court fully. Luckily, a guy (who’s wearing a jersey signed by Chris!) offered us his seat. Before the game starts, they were giving out balloons and pompoms and of course we got lots of them! Hahaha! Then the junior’s game started. There were people screaming on our back. They were cheering for a player name Enzo Katipunan who’s their relative they said. After almost two hours, the game was ended and the Ateneo Blue eaglets got the championship over the FEU baby tamaraws. I was expecting the same for the Blue Eagles but it didn’t happen. Ateneo lost to UST by 16 points. I think it’s the referee’s fault. They were always calling fouls on the Blue Eagles (Chris got 4 personal fouls, imagine?). My friend said that maybe the referees want to extend the finals so that they would still have work! Hahaha! After that bad game, we went downstairs. I was thinking maybe I could see Chris on the gate but I didn’t. Instead we saw other personalities like, Mar Roxas, Korina Sanchez, Wacky of PBBteens and many more.

During the third game, I almost went crazy in finding tickets. I had connections in the ticketnet but they too were not able to acquire any. So my friend and I waited for scalpers who could sell us tickets but there where none. There were only students who’re bidding their tickets. They were selling it ten times the original price (what the hell?). Luckily, someone gave us a ticket for free, but it was only one and there were two of us. After talking for a time, my friend decided to gave me the ticket and that she would just go back to school coz she still has a class. I went to game 3 all alone. But I have no regrets coz I really had a great experience. When I went inside, the coliseum was already full and loaded with people so I just stood up during the entire game (that was 3 hours so my feet really hurt after!). The game started with Ateneo leading by several points. Then the lead got down again just like in the first game. They were simply exchanging leads. UST shoots 2 points and Ateneo answers back with a 3 point shot and vice versa. The game even went overtime. But it wasn’t really Ateneo’s game. It’s really all the referees’ fault. They were calling fouls which is so unreasonable! Chris was even fouled out in the last minute! But what can we do, it’s already finished. UST won over Ateneo (really a big surprise to most people!). I was just so sad when I saw JC crying. He carried the team all along. It’s his last year in Ateneo and he wasn’t able bring home the championship. It’s really hard on his part, as well as Macky & Doug, who’re also playing their last year, to accept defeat. Though they didn’t get it, I’ll still support them. As their alma mater song goes, “win or lose it’s the school we choose!” Go Ateneo, One Big Fight!

I know my story is so long but I consider it one of the greatest days of my college life. I just hope next season will be just as good as this season especially when La Salle makes a comeb

A Day of Walking
After being stuck in the house for three days, I decided to go to UP and see my grades for the first semester. And upon going there, I needed to do lots of walk.

The jeep I rode going to UP stops at Katipunan. From there, I walked heading to the faculty center where I’ll meet Tricia. We talked a little and decided to go to the Gym to see our grades in our Social Dance class. In going to the Gym, which is quite far from the faculty center, we only walked. When we arrived there, we saw our grades that was higher than we expected (I got 1.5! hahaha!). We also looked at our classmates’ grades. There were two who got a flat 1 but I won’t mention their names anymore. After that, we decided to go and eat at McDonalds Katipunan. We only ordered fries and coke float but we stayed there for almost an hour because we’re talking and laughing about certain things. One of those things was going to Ateneo. The happiest part starts here.

At first I was hesitant to go to Ateneo because I was worried the guard wouldn’t allow us to go in, but I was convinced by Tricia so we went there, of course by walking. We went through the overpass and upon reaching the other end, we stopped for a while to think of a plan. Tricia suggested that we say that we’re gonna inquire about the ACET. That’s what we did and we were able to get in! Hahaha! So we walk and walk again, not knowing where we’re going to. Then we stopped and saw the John Gokongwei School of Management which was Chris’ college. I was really hoping to see him there but I didn’t so we continued walking until we reach the cafeteria. We entered and sat there for a while and then went strolling around again. We saw the Berchman Hall, Kostka Hall, Faura Hall, Xavier Hall, Rizal library and many more. We walked for an hour and I think we were able to see the whole campus in that one hour. Before we go out of Ateneo, we took pictures so that we will have a remembrance! Hahaha!

I ‘m not really fond of walking but I actually enjoyed this certain walk. Besides, as what I’ve read in one of the bulletin boards in Ateneo, walking has 3 good effects: (1) you’ll lose weight, (2) you’ll save money, (3) you’ll be able to protect the environment. Hahaha! That’s it for now!

this is my first time to have a blog. well i just wanna try my skills in computer as well as in speaking english and in expressing my self. first i want to introduce myself. my name is ma. regina o. nario. i live at q.c., philippines. i'm 17 years old turning 18 on august 22 next year (grabeh, i am so old na?!). i am currently studying at the university of the philippines as a freshman. i am a bright and simple person. i love reading books especially harry potter and gossip girl. i love basketball particularly the UAAP and Chris Tiu. i am a tv addict as well, addict meaning the tv is on 25 hours a day! i like listening to music and surfing the internet. i admit i'm a moody person but i am really friendly. i'm very talkative, but i could be shy. i'm kind but i could be mataray to people who irritates me. i hate being teased and laugh at(who wants to?) and i think i am such a perfectionist. i always want things to be in order. But on the contrary, I also think i am a lazy person. last thing about me is that i'm an introvert. i always keep things to myself and it’s just so hard so i created this blog. i just hope everyone would like it.
