AWESOMENESS in the HOUSE!
the era of awesomeness has begun.First day
So I arrive at Caltex to wait for the La Salle bus to arrive. I saw that only Michelle, Jonina and Emman were there. That means we were the only Bosconians there. Wow, great. And seriously, there were a lotta students from other students there from other schools. -____-
We took a tour of the campus with Kuya Denniel (de las Alas) and two other girls. It turns out that he and a whole lot of other college students there were DLSC ambassadors. Cool. :) After the tour we went to the auditorium to have an orientation of the Open College program. Ahh, the memories of the auditorium. Anyway, so they introduced some of the student organizations there, and one was Animo Teatro. Abby's sister, Ate Nikki, was there. The last time I saw her properly was when we were in Grade 5. Haha. Anyway, she really looked like Abby, it was so mind freaking. Seriously, in my second class . . . Okay, we will get to that later. First class first.
I went to E-Lab B for the PLC Lecture with an engineer professor. What does PLC mean? I forgot. =)) But it's kind of like a circuit or something, and it's responsible for controlling a lot of things, like cars, doors, gas stations, and those other stuff. Anything that has to do with electricity, really. And we had a hands-on activity, where we used a software for some basic programming of the PLC. It was cool, actually. :D It was like the programming when we had the robotics workshop some time during the school year, but I didn't really get the chance then because the 4th years were mostly doing it. But earlier today I did it. So cool. :D
I didn't eat lunch. O_O Oh, by the way, I had an hour of free period before my next class, but I didn't eat because I was so . . . intimidated. :)) I was soooo alone. T-T See, I took ECE, and in our first class we got divided. There were only six of us in E-Lab B. Four boys, two girls. This girl, well she kept answering kinda loudly like she knows the answers to everything and kept speaking in English, so yeah, that very well intimidated me. Ugh. -___- I didn't see anyone I know there (and believe me there weren't that many) in the canteen so I just decided to go check out the technical reference library. It was awkward.
Five minutes before my next class I left the library and went to well, my next class, which was in the opposite wing. :)) I had LITFILI, which is an abbreviation for Literatures of the Philippines. And guess what. Abby, I mean Ate Nikki, was there. And that cute guy me and Karen saw earlier during the tour. He was actually an ECE guy but remember we got divided and we weren't in the same group. -___- Anyway, I couldn't help but notice there were a lot of us. Turns out it wasn't just ECE pips. There were also Comm. Arts girls and guys. Actually, I think was meant for CA peoples, because the students were with were CA people. And they were the members of Animo Teatro, so while waiting for the professor, we actually played a game. The "I Love You" Game. In the later part the its had to play a scene with one of the college pips. Man. I couldn't stop staring at Ate Nikki because she really reminded me of Abby. O_O Seriously! Seriously. :)) So yeah. :) We discussed a short story called "Games," and it was kind of a cool story. Only I didn't talk much. Yeah, there was that girl who knows it all, and she kept answering too. Well, along with some other girls. Man was I quiet. Then I realized something.
I didn't want to study there in DLSC. I think I'm claustrophobic or something. O_O And there are a LOT of Bosconians there, it's just weird! I want to start a new life in college, I want to have a fresh start. It's just weird because I know some of the people there and they kinda knew me . . . It's just really . . . weird. So, yeah, I really don't wanna study in a nearby university. -____-
And I had my third and final class, SOFTMET. We discussed the methods of software development. The teacher . . . well, the teacher . . . he had this sort of gay voice, AND gay laugh, it was all so weird to listen to him. And I discovered another thing about me. When I go to college I don't think I'd be paying much attention the lectures. I think that's a habit I developed during junior year . . . :)) But yeah . . . I was yawning so much and my eyes were sore and none of the stuff the professor was saying were really registering in my head. Every minute seemed like an hour, and basically I was just dreading for it to end. So the time comes where the class has to end. And guess what? The professor was still discussing! It was horrible! Me and Michelle just wanted to storm out of the classroom like, "To hell with it." But I guess, we were still youngsters and didn't have the guts. HAHA. :)) Damn. That was a worst ending to a day ever! Ugh, horrible. I never want to be in that class again.
And then we rode the bus again and went to Caltex then dad brought us home. Yey.

2:59 AMMarch 24, 2011: EK Trip!
Michelle picked me up and we headed to EK. No one was there yet, except for the two of us. O_O After a few minutes, though, Xander and Ranie came to us. And to make the long story short, after two hours of just sitting there and waiting, everyone arrived, and we paid for the tickets, and the tickets were paid, and we all went in. It was me, Hanna, Jamsy, Margie, Emi, Ranie, Khielle, Matthew, Raya, Michelle, and Nero. Our first ride was the carousel and I think everybody joined there. XD Also in Dodgem. That was a lot of fun! \m/ And then in Flying Fiesta, I think. Wee. Then we rode the Anchors Away, and that's when the "groups" started splitting up. Haha.
Oh man, I can't put it in order now because I forgot what order we rode the rides . . . :)) Well, I think after the Anchors Away we rode the Log Jam. It was just me and Hanna at the, um, log there. :)) Confession: the last time we went to EK I didn't ride the Log Jam. That was with my sister and cousin. And even when I went to EK with KCHAMJDVL I didn't ride there. Mwhahahaha. >:) But there I did! And after that they went to Space Shuttle . . . I didn't. :)) When they came back we ate a bit, then went straight to Rio Grande! We went there two times. >:) :)) And we paid for the 2nd picture! Weeeeeeeeee. :D
I couldn't really remember much . . . Although we did go to Anchors Away again . . . I sat with Emi, Valerie, Meg, and Xander. It was fun sitting with them, we sang Friday! :)) And then . . . we bought Choconanaz for snacks. XD We stop and sat to rest then ate Thumbs Up. Haha! Hungry pips. :)) Then we rode the train thing. For kids. =)) That was fun, actually . . . Yeah, not really. :)) Then we took pictures on the playground thing. XD :))
Umm, I forgot the rest . . . :)) Well, we rode the Dodgem again, but we weren't complete, still, it was fun. :D Then we rode the Ekstreme! :) That was my first time to ride that. x] But then I closed my eyes. O_O =)) It failed because when we were going down it suddenly just opened, like Rebecca Black on Friday at 7a.m. :)) Going down was scary. It was kinda slow, and I felt like I was going out of my seat. Seriously. Scary. O_O
Oh! I almost forgot about Rialto. :)) Man, we were noisiest there. :)) We kept on making noises, and guess what? They said a girl was behind us because we were so noisy. :)) The silhouette of Hanna's hand was even seen through the screen. :)))) That was so funny. XD So yeah. :D
We were supposed to ride the Wheel of Fate, but it was almost closing time (7p.m., could you believe that?) and the line there was wrong, so we were separated into groups again. :)) Michelle, Nero, Raya and Matthew went to the Wheel of Fate, while the rest of us, well, we went back to Anchors Away. XD I sat with Hanna and Ranie and some two other peeps (they were a couple but we didn't mind them). On the other side were Margie, Jamsy, Emi and Khielle. :)) Then there was another group that rode with us, and once the ride started we started throwing screams at each other. :)) They weren't killjoys, and they screamed with us so it was fun. Wee! :D
Our last ride was Log Jam. We rode two times. \m/ Hanna and I were with Jamsy and Margie. That was fun. Haha. :D Then we changed our clothes, then met Paige. Abby, Meg, Val, Reg and Micah were already gone. :( We took pictures with Paige, then got home. :)

10:56 PMAmerican Idol talk
HOLY SHHHHH . . . I JUST WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL. I KNOW IT'S LATE BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT HERE. I AM SHAKING RIGHT NOW. THAT IS INFECTIOUS.
My cousin's watching in the living room. Well, it's more like the TV's just open because she's on the phone. Anyway, I went to the bathroom and when I came out Ryan's just announced that Casey was the one that got the lowest votes, and everyone was really shocked. Then he started singing for the save and Randy started waving his hand and the music stopped. Then he says, "Stop, stop. Casey, we know who you are in this show, we don't need you to sing for us anymore, do we, Steven?" So Steven just says that Casey's saved, they're using the save on him! So early in the competition but he deserved it! Then the camera goes to Casey and he's there shaking, it was kinda scary because I thought he would collapse on the spot or something. But he just walks there and shaking and I realize that I was shaking too so I went back here in my room because of shock. Holy crap. So that's why everybody loved that episode. O_O
Then again, I started asking myself: If everybody loves Casey, if the audience was shocked to hear he got the lowest votes, why in the world would he even get the lowest votes? Now I didn't watch the latest episode where the Top 11 Perform, but I know Casey and he was bound to be awesome. And even in the off-chance that he didn't do well, his supporters should have called harder to save him. But why? Why did he, instead of Stefano or Thia, got voted out? Why? Personally I think they should just American Idol now and declare Casey as the winner, and Pia as the runner-up. But maybe Casey's fans just got too safe about him, that everybody would vote for him or something. I guess that's a lesson for them if they haven't learned it now from the past ten years that they shouldn't take these things for granted.
Remember when Adam Lambert was a contestant? Yeah, I thought he would win too. But then news spread out that he was gay so I guess some people were all like, "Hey, let's vote for Kris Allen, he's straight!" I'm not hating on the guy, but let's face it, who's got a wide fan base on Tumblr? Adam Lambert. Who has been touring all over the world and gaining a lot of audience every time? Adam Lambert. Who appears on the opening of American Idol even if he wasn't the winner? Adam Lambert. Who's promoting his second album? Adam Lambert. Who's the most successful out of all the contestants in American Idol? ADAM. LAMBERT. Seriously I haven't even heard from Siobhan yet, and Lee DeWyze hasn't released his album, only a single. So, erm, yeah. . . .
Now I'm bored again . . . Waiting for Jamsy to upload more pictures from our EK trip. Yey! Okay, I have something new to blog now! :))

Farewell: A Junior's Perspective
As a nerd, I'd been scared to enter my junior year in high school. Why? Because of the rule that 30% of your 3rd year grades are going to be counted for your 4th year final grades if you're vying for honors . . . And of course I am. For my first two years in high school, I'd been . . . kind of laid-back. I wasn't the type of student you'd see in the out-of-school activities. I was more reserved and didn't make a lot of noise. But as 3rd year was coming, I had to make myself noticed, I had to work harder to be one of the best. I was scared for everything. I didn't know if I could handle the stress. They said that your 3rd year in high school is the most stressful. I had to be careful with my grades because if they slip, I might not get a chance in 4th year.
One fine summer's day DepEd announced their new rule: 30% of the seniors' grades in high school vying for honors will be based on their extracurricular activities, and not anymore their 3rd year grades. You couldn't imagine how happy I was to hear that. It meant one more year of not being serious for me!
I had no idea what God would bring me for the school year. I didn't like my classmates at first, greatly because I missed my old classmates and I wasn't close with my new ones. As a matter of fact, some of them even backstabbed me and my friends, and that incident brought a great change to my friends. I on the other hand at first didn't think I would change myself. But I did change; partly because of them -- but I never thought less of them. After that incident, though, I became more bonded with my classmates, learned to let loose once in a while (more than once, really), that I didn't have to be serious all the time. This year, our bodies weren't exhausted anymore, but our minds are always drained due to our projects, mostly on paper. But somehow, and I almost couldn't believe, I managed, because of my dear classmates who helped reduce the stress. Plus, the winning wasn't all that bad either. :D
When SLA came last August 2010, I was totally infuriated. During our sophomore year SLA was cancelled due to the A(H1N1) virus. During our freshman year I attended the SLA because I was the class vice president. It was held in CDBS, so I didn't really get to go to another school. :( And this school year they went to DB Tarlac. And even if I tease my friends and classmates how pitiful it was for them to stay there during the rain, deep down I was, erm, jealous. I badly wanted to join. I wanted to go out of the school, to join activities. . . . And the first one came on September, when I was chosen to be one of the students to join the ESC in making amendments to our constitution. After that, I joined the robotics workshop, even if I wasn't one of the original choices. >:D After that we had the Auxilium Provincial Day, this year held at CDBS. After that I actually got chosen to participate in the Speech Choir to be held in DLSC. That was unexpected, but like many others also badly wanted. Two weeks of practice . . . It had felt great, even if we didn't win or actually didn't do much, really. Then January I participated in LACASA in Letran. Then the YES Camp that happened one week after prom . . . Hehehe, prom.
Prom wasn't supposed to be in this post, but eh, since I brought it up, and besides, I should be gushing about my very first ever prom. So here it goes: The main idea was that it was unexpected. And I actually cried because of it. Why? Because my lack of self-confidence was taking its toll. Still, I'd managed to have a date (extra special thanks to a friend of mine for that one) and dance more than one guy. HA! In your face old, self-loathing me! :) See? Unexpected. I think I gained at least a little more self-confidence after that night.
Although I gained many friends in my class, I -- well, we -- had to say goodbye to someone special this year. That day, watching her leave was hard, a thought I couldn't bear. Last year, Crizelle also had to say goodbye for she was going to study in Australia. Without warning, Arnold also went there to study. (We weren't close, though.) Aivette transferred to St. Scho (Damn) and Klariza (Who is she again?) transferred to Dominican College and we never saw her again. It's kinda like she's dead. To us. To me. Anyway, after Louise left for damn Canada, I didn't think I'd be able to say any more goodbyes . . . But then there was the haunting thought of Joseph leaving us too because of his conduct . . . And even though we weren't close and he was a part of our batch's group of bullies, as I said, I didn't want any more goodbyes. Our batch was getting smaller and smaller, no one should transfer to AUP or anything like that . . . And then there's this other person, a girl, who I hear is migrating to Australia or something. . . . I don't know if I could handle it, really. Because I knew, I knew all these people, and I know, somehow, our batch will never be the same again without them in our midst. What more during our graduation day?
As I said, I didn't know what God would bring me this year, but of one thing I am certain: He definitely gave me a lot compared to the other years. And as I said once in one previous blogs, I almost wouldn't run in the ESC elections, yet here I am, ready to serve. (Oooohhhhh!!!!) Ready to make a difference in my final year here. :) Also in ECHOES, I want to be the mouth that speaks for the students. ;) (Yeah!) Because in my last days, I have gained more confidence in my self than I ever had before. I know I can serve as an officer. I know I am one of the most responsible for our paper. I can do it this time. I know. I can be a valedictorian. Ho.
This blog is inspired by ECHOES. Erm, indirectly, because I read one article from Ate Aila and that inspired me to do this post with the title . . . The title is very much inspired by hers so yeah :D And, um, I want to be part of the. . . .

1:16 AMHelp me make a stand
So last Monday we had our miting de avance and I got really depressed that my voice wasn't loud enough so they didn't hear it much. Plus I got cut by Sir Chris in the middle of my speech. I originally planned to post it on Facebook but that might be overcampaigning already, so I'm gonna write it here instead. Anyway, the elections are over, but I'm gonna write it here so that I can remember what I said. :)
Actually I removed the file from my USB and it turns out that my sister deletes all the files in the recycle bin so . . . Yeah, it's lost forever. But I'll try my best to remember all of it. This isn't for you, this is for me. :)
Out of 500 students here in CDBS, only 11 are willing to make a stand. I am one of them.
In a generation where we are grouped into different stereotypes and our capabilities become limited, kung saan ok lang na sagutin mo yung mga nakakatanda sa'yo, kung saan cool na matulog sa klase, kung saan astig ka kapag di ka gumawa ng assignment at quiz, sino pa ba ang maglalakas ng loob na baguhin lahat ng yun?
You expect me to say, "I am. I am brave enough to start the change." But no, we're not going to that part of my speech yet. Because I can't tell that to you without first letting you know that I, too, thought of those things as cool, treated them as a joke, and nothing more. Masaya pa nga kapag maingay sa klase. Minsan pa yung sitting arrangement, nagiging cheating arrangement na.
But then I realized, just sitting there, that allowing my classmates to do such things, is another way of allowing them to cheat their futures. I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM MY WHOLE LIFE. I CARE ABOUT THEM. I WAS NOT ABOUT TO LET THEM RUIN THEIR OWN FUTURES.
And that was my wake-up call. Na-realize ko na natatakot sila, nahihiya sila. Pero ako, hindi ako nahihiya. Hindi ako natatakot.
And this is the time you hear me say, "I am. I am brave enough to start the change." Just as much as I care about the juniors, is as much as I care about each and everyone of you. Bosconian family ko kayo. It is my duty as your sister to help you see what is right and what is wrong. Tawagin niyo pa ako ng kung anu-anong names kapag napagalitan kayo, but you'll realize if it were not for the constant reminders, you'd be making your way to the top someday, only to let everyone see you fall back down.
Discipline equals self-control plus wisdom. Through my many experiences, I have gained both. Discipline is being unafraid to stand up for what is right. And after nine years of staying here in this school, I know what is right and what is best.
I am Denise Soriano. I am your wake-up call.
HA. Damn . . . I wish I had a clearer voice because I really wanted everyone to see this. :P Thank you so much Abby for all your help. :)

5:38 AMA nerd's summer
SUMMER! It's finally here. But you know what? I DON'T FEEL IT! I just can't! Why? Hmmmmm. Well, we're still going back to school for recognition and recognition practices . . . Then after that we have Open College at DLSC for 3 days . . . Then one week from that we're going to Iloilo for the PSYSC Convention . . . And after two weeks we're gonna start our UPCAT Review in Brain Train in Sci Tech . . . Wow, what a busy summer! \m/ :D Haha. There's still the fact that I want to have piano lessons though. . . . But other than that, my summer activities are all school-related. The nerd in me is really excited and thinks that it's super cool, but then the lazy side of me just wants to chillax all summer before coming back to our last year of high school . . .
There are already different activities waiting to challenge me next school year and I can't wait! And luckily I'm busy this summer, so I'm expecting it'll go by faster than usual. Weeeeeeeeee! x]

11:48 PMThank You's 2011 :)
Today, I got devastated. Okay, I originally was to type the reason why, but then just seeing it makes me all depressed again, so never mind. :)) I mean, you don't have to get it, anyway, but if the people I am about to include in this post ever get the chance to read this (yeah, there's like, 0.1% chance of that), well . . . this is all for you. ^___^ Here it goes.
THANK YOU. . . .
To Raffy, well, this isn't a thank you, but an encouragement. Sabi ni Meg, at least kahit papano alam nila na mas mataas pa rin tayo kesa sa iba. HINDI ITO PAGMAMAYABANG ITO AY PANININDIGAN HAHAHA :)) (Quote from Emi!) We're gonna do better next year, man. We will unleash our power. Let's work together!! :D:D:D:D
To Sir Andy, for sticking up for me and Raffy, even if you aren't our adviser. I mean, I really wish you'd be our adviser because you are awesome XD Thank you for caring for us and for showing us what to do so we can get a chance. Thank you, just for being there even if you don't have to. :)
To Tr. Edith and Tr. Benny, for telling me, "Pangit din kasi yung aakyat ka ng stage na Gen. Scho. ka nga, pero sasabihin namin, 'Ay yan, Gen. Scho. lang yan kasi cinonsider ko yan eh.' At least kapag umakyat ka ng stage ang sasabihin namin, kahit Academic Achiever ka, 'SAYANG.' Diba? Mas maganda yun?" Thank you for making me realize those things, and for encouraging me. And thank you for telling me my equivalent grades in Drafting! Haha! At least, now I know. Thank you. :D
To VOTE Party + other peeps (Eminence, Ranie, Pambid, Meg, Joanna, Paige, Dada, Xander, Paolo, Ilao, Anjo, Kyle and Alyssa), for the lunch/victory party at Shakey's after dismissal. :) Even if we were incomplete. :) But yeah, I had fun with you guys, especially in the Fun Zone. :))
To Meg and Emi, for making me laugh when we were stopping over at Xander's house, by singing, Friday Friday gonna get down on Friday =)) Why wouldn't I laugh because of that? And because of you two. x] And for saying I'm an Akasha bush. HAHAHA! :P Thank you for the laughs I had with you and the laughs we're going to have. ;) ^__^
To Meg, just Meg, for your time, for your patience, for your sympathy, for your kindness and awesomeness. :D For inviting me to your house to watch Tangled (but in the end we watched Despicable Me), that was really unexpected. ^__^ For sharing some of your secrets. :))) For making me watch Nigahiga videos on YouTube. For playing Air Hockey and Dance Dance Revo at Shakey's :)) For letting Jenna watch the movie with us. :)) For making me forget my sadness today. Thank you for everything. :)
And to CHAMJDV, for not being there . . . Yeah thanks :)) No just kidding :) Still, thank you even if you weren't there :) I know the reasons, so I understand. I love you girls. x]
So, realized this isn't a Thank You post for everything that's happened during this school year yet? HAHA. Just for today. Because today was the conclusion of what happened the whole school year. And see, that's the only thing that matters, really. The end. And the people who stuck by you until the very end. And those people I was with in the beginning but not the end . . . Why would I be thanking you? :)
5:01 AM
To tell you the truth...
(title inspired by Emi's speech)
I originally wasn't going to run in the ESC Elections. Since last year I was always thinking about whether I should run or not, and when February came, my decision was that I wouldn't run and that I was going to focus on my studies and on college entrance exams. There was that lingering thought against that the filing for candidacy drew nearer, but I'd always push it away.
One day we were in the clinic having a check-up for the PSYSC Convention when Emi said to me, "Denise takbo ka." I already knew he would be running for president. And I had no idea what came over me but I replied confidently, "Sige."
That afternoon, Sir Renz asked who were going to run for the elections. I hesitated at first because I didn't know what position to run for. And I admit, I am not proud, that I took a position that had no other candidates yet: Committee Head on Discipline. We all met with Emi right away. And we immediately had a problem. Emi's party was already created, but we weren't allowed to have a party with members that came from one batch. The next days one of our original members was disqualified, and we recruited a member from the freshmen.
After that we got busy with the quarterly exams. I was not thinking about the elections. I was too damn busy reviewing. Four days of tests, and on Thursday, we were called to sign our form of candidacy. Then we planned on what we were going to do for the miting de avance the next Monday. We decided we were going to make a video showing our platforms, nature, purpose, etc.
The next day, Friday, achievement holiday, we met up at the school to shoot the video. But the 4th year graduation practices were ongoing, so our time was kind of wasted there. When Ate Mika was announced valedictorian and Ate Alayne only 1st Honorable Mention, I was completely horrified. What if I just go down to being 10th honorable? was the question running through my mind. And I thought, if I don't win, it's gonna be okay, so that I'll be able to focus on my studies more. After all, Ate Mika wasn't ESC, and she still got the highest award. So I didn't care. . . . But still, there was that rush of campaigning.
Sunday morning, before our meeting, Emi sent me his speech so that I can print it. I read the whole thing, and I was completely downgraded with what I had written. So I wrote a new one before leaving and headed to school again for planning. Unfortunately we weren't allowed there since it was a Sunday so we went to Patrick Ilao's house at Estates 2. (Ah, the Mira memories.) Abby met with us, and she helped us with our speeches. How awesome? Then we started planning for our entrance in the miting de avance. And damn, was the idea awesome. :D They bought the stuff at National Book Store then assigned them to us, so we could do our part. Mine was a fail that night. Wew!!
Anyways, the next day, Monday, we all went to school early to practice our entrance. Joanna, she made the damn silver pen I was supposed to used work. Haha! :)) Then Abby practiced us with our entrance later. We practiced and we practiced and we practiced. Then we ate lunch altogether. And after eating, we changed our clothes. We were in such a hurry because we were the first. And then. . . .
Picture this. Sing by Glee in the background. Two by two, by position, we enter, runway walking, with a bully word hanging on our necks. We're wearing black blazers, white polo/blouse, bright colored plain shirt, and black slacks. Emi, Meg and Paige are the last to enter. Two by two again, we go to the front of the group, tear our bully words, open our polos, revealing a strong word attached to our shirt inside. Then, our 4th year campaign managers, wearing the same formal wear, open their blazers too, but there's nothing attached to their front . . . for the words "I Go For VOTE" are on their backs. Finally, we candidates take five steps forward and shout "VOTE!" then head to our seats.
My bully word was "Lame." And it failed. See, I was so excited to tear that black paper off that I forgot to unbutton my blouse to let them see my strong word, which was "Awesome." I was like, DAMN!!! Total fail me. -___- Still I wouldn't let it bring me down. And then we all made our speeches. I was completely shaking when I was about to deliver mine, and y'know what? I got freaking cut off by Sir Chris. :)) I was one of the three -- and the only ones who got cut off came from our party. Wow. O_O Anyway, I thought I made a good speech but it turned out some didn't hear because my voice wasn't loud enough. And I admit, I got depressed and all disappointed with myself. Why? Because then, I didn't care whether I would win or not, but I wanted to show everyone what I could be capable of through my speech and my answer in the Q&A portion. And it saddened me to think that not everyone heard what I had to say. And then I thought, "What if I lose because they didn't hear me in my speech? What kind of losing is that?" If I was going to lose, I certainly wouldn't allowing that to be the reason of my defeat. No way. So yes, I was down.
The next day we woke up early yet again because we were given the chance to have a room-to-room campaign with the Grade 6 students. It was . . . erm . . . fun? :) Haha. I didn't want to hear the results because I didn't want to be given false confidence, or the other way around. And afternoon came and we stayed in Mirabello and started shading those circles. Then they started recording the ballots. Man, was I scared. After about 15 ballots, we went outside to check the other classrooms and the ongoing polls. And my head started to ache so bad and my body felt weak and I felt colder than ever. . . . *sigh* Emi got depressed because he didn't want to be the president when his officers aren't . . . well . . . the best. Aww. :(
And my head was still hurting and so I went to the classroom to take a nap. It took about two or three hours, then we ESC candidates were called to the AVR for the announcement of the winners. The funny thing was, we didn't get to go inside the AVR just yet. I mean really, we had to wait about 30 minutes before they let us in, and another 30 minutes (which seemed like an hour) before Kuya Carlo and Sir Chris come with the results. And they were given. :O
Now I am standing as the Committee Head on Discipline, and this is the story of how I came to be here. :D (Woo! Drama!) But yes. This is the start of my life. :)
Emi is President by the way! A big hand! =D>

7:31 PMThere's a party in my head and no one's invited. >:)
Oh-oh, I want some more. Oh-oh, what are you waiting for? Take a bite of my heart tonight.
Exams week is finally over, and we've got one more week until the school officially ends. What's in store? Miting de avance, ESC elections, touchdown, and last day of school. Oh man. Oh man. It's all really ending, and then next year . . . Man. I just realized I'm not ready. Not yet. No. :(
Summer plans? Hmmmmmm. . . . My friends and I are gonna attend the Open College thing at DLSC on March 30-April 1, where we get to experience the life of a college student there. I choose BS ECE and see what goes on in there, it's awesome it's one of the choices :) Weeeee! Oh, man . . . Well yeah I am excited for that. :D It's like a glimpse of what's gonna happen when we graduate. . . . X_X Gonna take that as an advantage.
Then on April 7-11, we're gonna be in Iloilo for the PSYSC convention! \m/ How awesome. x] Excited? Yes! :D Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :D I almost couldn't wait anymore. :D:D Gonna meet some new people and experience new things and learn about chemistry and physics! Okay not that last part but yeah
I want to go to EK with my friends. Er, best friends. :) I want to I want to I want to!! Just not now.
Brain Train starts on April 25, for us, at least. Man was that a major fail . . . But hey, at least we don't have to go on Saturdays because if we get busy or something . . . Damn. Well okay brain train. I'm excited to learn. Then when we go back to school let's surprise the teachers with the new information we gained from reviewing HAHA
And I wanna go to the beach. Everyday. Then stay there forever. Nah I'm just kidding I still wanna see YOU
I wish my mom could really allow me to have driving lessons this year. If not . . . I might die on the inside. Lolz.
So sleepy, and sorry for this lazy post, but I want to blog but then I'm already sleepy and I want to do it tonight already instead of tomorrow and besides I don't have anything else to do but sit here and type and man I still gotta read that manga and continue my two stories crap.
So the title of this blog doesn't have any connection with what I wrote today :) I just saw it on the Site-That-Must-Not-Be-Named and figured what an awesome title that would be :) And if you're here reading this then I guess it worked. Sucker. Haha. Kidding.
Why? Why, Lord, why? Why do I even give notice to someone who doesn't even know I exist? Or who doesn't give a damn about my existence? O_O But I still want to talk to him. EVEN IF WE NEVER TALKED TO EACH OTHER. Haha why am I ranting here I hate this life he doesn't even like me because I'm ugly and weird and boring and gah.
No one I know's gonna read this anyway so hey who cares?
Really lazy. -____- Life sucks right now.

10:46 PMI know, I know, it ain't even the end of the year yet, BUT...
It's actually starting to dawn on me that we're going to be the seniors in our school only three months from now. . . . I can feel it right now, y'know, thanks to the upcoming ESC elections. It's getting serious, but hey, who cares if I lose? At least I tried before leaving. Trust God when misfortune happens for his plans are always greater than ours. :)
I'm making more and more posts about this, but it's just, erm, inevitable. Next school year, it's really time to get serious. But the truth is, I'm scared. I'm scared of what He's going to give me. I know I can face it because that is His plan, I just don't know how I'm going to deal with it. And He knows what I'm really afraid of right now. And if that happens . . . well . . . I know something better is in store.
Thanks to everyone who made this school year what is for me . . . Happy, sad, surprising, fun, spontaneous, hurtful, and so many other emotions . . . If only this could last forever, but it doesn't, eh? Hope to see you again next school year. :D:D

3:41 AMA stressful day.
Nostalgia: A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past.
We were called to the clinic for a medical check-up for the PSYSC Convention thing. For a short while we discussed the ESC Elections. Then something came through, and I told Eminence that I've made my decision (right then and there) that I'll be running and that I want to be in his party. I guess I've been having minor battles with myself about it, and earlier in the clinic I've made up my mind finally. I am running! :)
After the check-up we went back upstairs for classes. It was our English time, and we were given time to practice for our oral test to be performed tomorrow. After that was our lunch time, we went back to the classroom then realized something. . . . Eep. I'm gonna kill that person if I found out, and I think I'm close to catching him. We all are. Damn you parasite.
Then we had our hands-on quarterly test in IT. Some guys were late and Sir Andy got really mad. Joseph was one of the guys who were late, and he already had nine absences before that. . . . He's on probation. . . . Well we're not even close and we don't even talk to each other but it's not like I want to see him leave the school. I don't want anyone from our batch to leave next year. Well okay, maybe a few, like the freaking parasite, but the point is that no one who deserves to stay should leave. Tsk tsk tsk. When Joseph arrived at the IT lab we were all worried because we knew about the probation thing. . . . [-(
Then AP time. Sir Renz asked for the names of those who want to run for ESC next school year. I didn't know yet what position I was going to run for, but the final is that I'm going to run for Committee Head on Discipline. Hahaha :)) Yes, I can discipline you all. =)) Then we were all called and Abby discussed us about the elections and campaigning. . . . Man! There were some problems . . . Tsk. :(
Oh, man. . . . It's all almost over. . . . I don't want this to end, though. . . . :( But sometimes I feel like a wanna get out of this hell hole that's called high school. But at the same time I want to stay. Does that even make sense?
How did we get so far from comfortable? How did we get close to the end?

You alone should define who you are. Don't let anyone tell you who you should be or what you should do when you what's best for you.
That's about it, I guess. for now. :)
