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

Thursday, November 02, 2006

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!
