i want to hear you screaming!
their radiance is just overflowing.
JOYOUS, ECSTATIC, EUPHORIC, BLISSFUL, HEAVENLY
I can’t think of a word that can describe the way I feel.
Good day fellas.Ü
Today was a very tiring one. Far from my goal of spending more time with my family, I spent the whole day in Dominican college.
It was fun, hanging around with pat and Camille. Pat and I were able to ride the mini Viking, Camille and I spent some bonding moments together and I met new people. Going home was another adventure. Camille and I got lost, but luckily, we found our way home.Ü (or else I will not be able to sit in front of my pc and blog. XP)
Anyways, the highlight of my day is the concert.
I am not supposed to watch the concert but because of my constant begging, my mom allowed me to.
Php100 got a long way for it served me four bands namely, Hansom, Chicosci, Spongecola and JOIN THE CLUB.
Hansom played first, they were kind of unfamous but they did well.
Next is Chicosci. The band was really great. Mong and Miggy carried the show very well. I also liked their rendition of Katie’s “I Kissed A Girl.” Everybody’s jumpin’ and screamin’ their names but I was kind of telling myself…
“Bilis, bilis, Join the Club na.”
And lo, the moment has come. JOIN THE CLUB has come.
Finally, my dream of seeing them performing LIVE came into a REALITY. Whoo! The band was blazing hot and they gave a very breathtaking performance. They kept the energy soaring through the course of their act. I was screaming and jumping *and being stared upon by those near me. But it does not matter, I just can’t contain the joy that I’m feeling that time. When Biboy drew near our spot, I did everything to go nearer. I got so near that my idol was literally at reach. (Thanks to my 1.3 megapixel camera on my phone, I was able to capture the moment. *and hell to my camera which got lowbatt that very moment.)
when your hero is at this distance, you can't help but be carried away...
I also found myself singing along with them.
“At aalis, magbabalik, at uuliting sabihin na mahalin at sambitin kahit muling masaktan
Sa pag-alis, ako’y magbabalik, at sana naman…”
Waah! Their mere presence makes me ecstatic. And hell, their second album will be a very good gift for me in my birthday. (not the repackaged one, but the album entitled “Gera ng Baralila”)
The main event came as Spongecola stepped into the stage. Well, I find presentation somewhat boring, maybe because I was able to see them before or maybe they just couldn’t match the ‘highness’ JTC gave to me. Whatever the reason is, it doesn’t matter.

Time check: 1:54am
I need to go to bed now for I have a play to see later.:))
Thanks for reading my post!

a day in MHS...
it was a wondeful and fun day as a whole, except from the embarassment i got when i was tasked to give an ice breaker. (imagine looking like a fool in front of the student leaders of mandaluyong. very embarassing)
i learned a lot of things there.
Dr. Domingo got my attention, which was very unexpected.
i didn't expect that such energy would come from her..
the huge amounts of energy, enthusiasm and radiance made her almost 2-hour long talk very interesting and far from boring..
she shared to us her vision about leadership..
she emphasized that we must exercise our rights, especially our right to be heard..
i also saw mr. rosarito septimo, who is for me, the REAL father of CMSHS.
his presence made me feel something inexplicable..
maybe the feeling of a child who misses the warmth of the affection of his father..
he also shared his knowledge of leadership.
some student leaders also shared what they have learned from Baguio last NLTSGO.
honestly, i was a bit depressed during this part..
"if only's" and "what if's" came rushing into my mind..
to cut it short, i wish that i was the one who was sent there..
i also saw my ever hardworking President.
i ALWAYS see her in SSG gatherings, she was NEVER absent.
(HYPERBOLE.XD i don't care if you'll call me bitter.xp)
by the way, she even invited me to watch her at the talent portion of MIss Mandaluyong. *wow! she was not satisfied with the Miss Hulo pageant! you are so good in pageants! i hope you are as good in doing your responsibilities.XP*
so much bitterness.XP
to end my post,
i just want to share to you my favorite video in our physics project. haha, have fun!:))
no one is alone the way i'm alone..
can't help but hold you looser than i ever would have known..

dusk and summer
days like that should last and last and last...
absent. haha:))
well, i'm not sort of sick or whatsoever, i just like to take a pause and loosen myself up.
i'll eradicate the source of your pain,
even kill me when i cause it,
i'll give you whatever you need...
i'll do whatever you want me to do..
i'll take a bullet for you..
i'll hold you like there's no tomorrow..
i'll surrender my whole being to you..
for i love you so...
the clock is ticking time away...
in time's game, we always end up as losers..
we have already lost, and we only have barely enough to hang on.

random tests...
i just can't get the sleepiness i need to get my zzz's.
(maybe because they are all used up when i'm in class. nyahahaha! >:D)
so i decided to pass my time blogging.
blog hopping led me to mico's blog.
i decided to take the tests he took as a sort of reflection.
it might lead me to the discovery of some "hidden" things about me..
Your Love is Represented by a White Rose |
While you may or may not be totally naive, you do approach love with an eternal innocence. You love like you've never been hurt. And you put all your faith in your partner. Your philosophy on love is: be honest and be yourself. |
The Part of You That No One Sees is Vulnerable |
You are lively, dramatic, and flamboyant. You have an outrageous personality... And you secretly resent anyone who makes you tone it down. Underneath it all, you are driven by your need for attention and acceptance. You need to feel special at all times. You are secretly jealous and occasionally insecure. |
Your Mind is Green |
Of all the mind types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual). |
Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence |
You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things. Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments. You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it. You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle. You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician. |
Who Should Paint You: Roy Lichtenstein |
Larger than life, your personality overshadows everyone in the room A painter would tend to portray you with a bit of added flair! |
Your Element Is Earth |
You excel at planning and strategizing. You could be a champ at chess or Survivor. Well grounded, you are able to be realistic and rationalize. On the inside, you have a hard core. It's tough to phase you. You are super productive, and you are able to think anything through. Focused and super charged, your instincts are a good guide for your next step. |
You Are 20% Evil |
You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm. Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want! |
You Are Fairly Normal |
You scored 45% normal on this quiz Like most people you are normal in some ways... But you aren't a completely normal person. You're a little weird too! Why You Are Normal: You think glasses can make someone more attractive You would eat meat from a cloned animal You rather be screwed over than screw someone else over If you had to, you rather live without music and still have laughter You eat the frosting first Why You Aren't Normal: You prefer your family to your friends You'd rather have cockroaches than rats in your home You find the Chicken Dance to be the more embarrassing dance You would rather be tan than pale You prefer the moon to the sun |
time's up!
pass your test papers!
want some?Ü
First, the brain-exhausting periodical exams.
I mean, gee, can't you give us sufficient time to prepare?
And the worst part is that Advanced Chemistry and Calculus were scheduled on the first day of exams.
I have a hard time coping up with these subjects lately, maybe because the foundations of the topics were discussed during my week-long duty in the City Hall as the Youth Congressman.
Setting "first-day-high" aside, the subsequent exam days were equally difficult.
I do not expect good grades for this quarter, but I do hope to get passing ones.
This one’s very exhausting. We have to wait for 2 hours for them since they went on a trip to Quiapo. Yes, to Quiapo.
The stress and panic was worsened by the ever great sound system. The new ones seem to be functioning no better than the old ones. Add the hot weather that day.
But, inspite these happenings, the program had a fine finish.
(special thanks to Kennedy for adding so much life to the program. :D)
The highlight of my week: my sister’s 12th bday.:))
We went to Sbarro to have dinner.
Well, we had so much food in our table that night. *something that wasn’t meant to be feasted upon by 3 people.=))*
It was fun, roaming around SM knowing that there was an incoming exams.:))
I also bought my sister a present. (something I do not usually do.)
Well, I do not regret doing so since I saw her very happy with my gift. :)
>>> Kuya's gift to Bea.:))
Well, this ends my post for tonight. Goodluck to 4Aver for the final collection tomorrow. (or should I say, later?:D)
(Time check: 1:46 am)
uhm, want some?

...
Let’s get started.
It had been a while since my last post. (as always.) If Marc’s idea about the “death of blogs” (where inactive blogs age until it dies.) was made a reality, then, my blog would probably be resting in peace now. (how sad…)
Let me talk about 2008.
2008 had been a memorable year for me. It signaled the end of my journey as a high school student.
As of now, I really do not know what to feel.
I am so eager to see the fruits of my four years of HARDWORK. (when I say hardwork, it really is HARD)
But then, I am saddened by the fact that separation from the people I treated as my brothers and sisters, my friends, is inevitable.
There is nothing left for me to do, I must face a new chapter of my life.
In month’s time, I’ll be leaving the place they refer to as “school.”
The place where my brain was squeezed so hard (even at the times when there is really nothing in there.)
The place where I tried to stay awake even though my eyes shut voluntarily because of boredom.
The place where I experienced my first suspension.
The place where the weak and the faint-hearted can never last.
The place where procrastination feels so good.
The place where my joys outpoured.
The place where I learned life’s lessons.
The place where I dedicated my efforts and time.
The place I LOVED the most.
Now, let me share the things I will surely not forget about school…
First, my ever active SSG.:)) well these guys mean a lot to me. Never did I expect that we will be this bonded. Nothing can replace the times we had together, the pressure we shared when something gets wrong and the simple joy of contentment every time we see the students’ smiles every time a project was done successfully. I am also proud since we were able to implement new projects, which I think, suited the taste of most of the MandSci students. *even though there were many OBSTACLES. (you know what I mean. *nyahaha! >:D)
Second, my friends. Well these are the same people I met from the very beginning of my stay in MandSci. haha.Ü For me, four years of shared happiness, problems (and even smells, joke!) is enough to say that we are really bonded. These people are my treasures, something that will never be taken away from me by any means.
Special mention to:
Ahafaqmipa (Darah, Mara, Jellah, Angelique, Arvielle, Michelle, Pat, Arianne and Chippy)
Presidency (Oli, Pao, Lemu, Ced, Adrian,Gelo and Amiel R.)
Hazel
And to the people I met recently but made me a lot happier, 4AVER.:))
Lastly, but most importantly, my love. Well, the world knows how much I loved someone this year.
Someone who showed me the simple joys of life.
Someone who took away the frown in my face.
Someone who impresses me just by being herself.
Someone who cared for me like nobody does.
Someone who never left me at the times I’m at my nadir.
Someone who LOVED me the way I am.
*hmm, I do not want to include sepulchral events (and people like … urgh, you know who.) here, I want to remember the good times we had together.Ü
Well, this concludes my “i-will-never-forget” list.
But, there are a lot of things that are also worth remembering. These are only some…
*faulty sound system (is this really worth remembering?)
*pasaway yet kind students of MandSci
*series of open forums in 4-Almeda (well, it is a good thing that every thing’s going well now.)
*dance interpretation in Filipino
*MAPEH play
*time with Mr. Jeffrey James Bryan Sanders :))
*preparation for Mr. and Ms. MandSci
*Boys and Girls Week (where I got the position of congressman)
*Teachers’ Day Sportsfest
*Christmas Concert (this one’s really great!)
*Bote, Dyaryo Naman Dyan! (this one’s great too, can’t forget going out of our comfort zones in order to collect stuffs, very memorable :)))
And a lot more.:))
Hmm, too much for this post, I hope 2009 will be as great, or even better than 2008. :)) *together with this post is the promise to do my best in order to update my blog more frequently.:))
