Today and tomorrow shall be the judgment day for my senior friends. The dreadful UPCAT days has finally taken its toll. I can still remember myself last year, an aspiring peyups student, making my way through the hustle and bustle of other seniors as well on the day of my UPCAT. Anywho, ganbatte to all my friends!! Kaya nyo yan!!
Waahahahahhaha! I want to congratulate the Ateneo Blue Eagles for winning last Saturday ( July 30 ) and Thursday ( August 4 )!! Yahoo! Even though we are far from getting that championship, at least our standing is great! A big banzai to all of you! I didn’t know I was going to be an active supporter of my schoolmates! I hated UAAP way back then. But now...damn. Go Ateneo!
Gawd. I did not gaze upon chiksilog’s face again for it was a Friday…
Why do you have to be so feminine than I am? Why do you have to be so beautiful for someone, who will never have such praise that I whisper behind you under my breath? Why do you always flash your to-die-for snicker when I stare at you? Why do you have to be so good in Lab, that I occasionally (ok, ALL THE TIME) look into your microscope and you’ll do the final adjustments for me? Why do you have to be so kind yet amusing in your own way?
You have captured me in every single way possible. My senses go bleak by your mere presence beside me. You are an exception to what people know about me. I can’t wait to see you dance to Gackt’s Vanilla! Damn you, my chicksilog ! Daisuki su mats.*slits throat*
I had a very long day yesterday. This initiated with 2 hours of non-stop English classes, which I enjoyed by the help of some divine intervention. Me and my kakwentuhans , Maki, Jason and Rap chatted about PS2 games! I bragged about how I finished FFX and they shared to me how they kicked their enemy’s ass in Metal Gear Solid! Jason was wallowing in self pity because he didn’t have a PS2 until now and I volunteered to buy him one! Haha. Joke! He was like “Di nga?!”
I am beginning to loathe my English teacher, mainly because she has started to contradict with my stand in my journal entries. Anyway, I was indeed in high spirits yesterday because I got a high score in our Filipino long test! Kudos to Sir Jethro Tenorio for giving me a perfect score for my essay!!! * hugs and kisses*
I want to comment on the radio version of Spongecola’s “Gemini”. It sucks. Yael was singing like he just came from a pot session gone wrong. I can’t even hear the words well. The song in the cd rocks still. *wink* Bwahahahaha

Since I haven't made a single entry since my last post, I'll just do some extra recaps worth mentioning: haha
July 08, Friday: I went to St. Paul dressed up as a total girlie because of this motive: to intimidate.The unusual get-up
stunned my close friends and some anonymous persons as well. Oh yeah! I realized that the school hasn't changed a bit.
Except for the fact that the "legends" don't walk the 4 walls of the vicinity anymore. Yes, I could conclude that even the
building has missed us already. Even the faculty if I may add. What really pissed me when I passed by the faculty room
near the Micheau classroom, was that I didn't see Sir Sy Beng. The person who made my 4th year meaningful.
The one who made Physics look like simple ABC's. The person who flashes his to-die-for smile when you pass by him. The only
guy who made my heart almost leap out off my chest. One of the few persons who knew my life's secrets. One of the persons
who believed in my capacity as a student. ( Remember the "student-teacher" thing? ). He was also one of the primary
reasons that I passed Ateneo ( He was the first person who congratulated me after seing the big envelope thing )
He was the reason that I go to school. For he was the one I truly fell in love with. I really miss him.haha. What am I saying?
Crap love..there is no such thing. 'Cause I only believe in pure infatuation. There s nothing beyond that.
After bonding with my 4th year friends, I stayed there until 6:30 because I was comforting Jam and Rem. Whew! I really
didn't know what to say for I don't know how to relate with their feelings at that time. All I could muster was this stupid
3 words that is already gasgas na: "Okay lang yan...." . I kept on repeating that even though I know that It
wasn't alright at all.
July 13, wednesday : I got a little disappointed with my grade in our practical test for Taekwondo. I was really sure that
got everything right up to the last step and still I only got an "88". Fine, its not that bad but knowing that you did
all the steps correctly, its a little off already. So, as a way of letting my frustations out, I texted a lot of people and
making "paramdam" to them. Anyway, some "things" happened, so I would like to welcome back my tomodachi, kim.*claps*
July 15, friday: Same boring crapness. I hate school today. I felt like a total jerk. You can even see it in my post
today, right? No spunky words, just plain rantings. My org , ASEC ( Ateneo Exchange Student Council ) had our first General
assembly. Damn! It was fun!. Not like those club meetings that I had in highschool. This time, every meeting counts!
All the officers and members moves and didn't just focus on chatting the day away. For the first time, I felt productive.
I am getting dizzy already, I'll post next month... i mean, next time. tata!

I'd rather be green than be blue
I only had 1 subject today: BotaBota. I arrived in Ateneo at about 6: 45 am and went home at 9:00. What a waste of time.
As usual it was very boring, except when the teacher reached the topic about pectin and middle lamella. It was the first time
That I understood about what she said. I even raised a question about how does the industry extract those pectin out of the cells to add them in their strawberry jams and stuff. She answered a weird two word that will haunt me: Chemical Process.
I said to Solo ( my seatmate ), " Yeah, old hag I know, but what kind of chemical process?!". Freak
Zell, approached Solo ( I was still beside her ) after our BotaBota class and borrowed a stapler.
Solo: “Kay Ara yan ha”
Zell looked at me, smiled * faints *, and gestured to use my stapler.
I just feel that every time he is near me, he can’t utter a word at all. Cat got your tongue, Zell? Haha. His hair today was not gelled up. Although he didn’t look like Zell this morning, he still rocks when he smiled after Solo asked him. “Bakit di naka gel yang buhok mo ngayon, ha?. Zell: “Bad hair day eh” then smiled. . Wahhhh
Yesterday, I borrowed a Hale cd from Jot ( my English blockmate that I don’t talk to at all. )
me: “Jot, pwede po bang hiramin yung Hale cd mo?”
Jot smiled and grinned after.
Jot: “Sige.”
me: “Thank you po, sobra! “
Jot: “Ok lang yun.”
me: “ Balik ko na lang po sa Friday, ha?” * grabs the cd in a split second. *
Jot laughed.
How thick can I get, anyway?!
I copied all the songs in their cd to my Gackt ( my ipod ). Now, I am listening to all the songs ever time since yesterday. * yokatta! *
Champ’s voice makes me giddy. He has the prettiest voice a boy could ever have. When I listen to their “Broken Sonnet” and hear the line “Lie down right next to me and I’ll never let go”, I’d feel my eyes get all watery. It reminds of many things I’d rather forget. But who am I kidding if I say that it’s okay and I forgot all about it? I can’t imagine that “lying peach” is a very “user-friendly” friend. Anyway, their song “Kung wala ka” gets me into emo mode with much haste. This line is my favorite: “ Sundan mo, ang paghimig na lulan na aking pinagtatanto. “. Hale is a great band and it’s such a pity that I just realized that recently.
Uhmmm, guys, have you heard the freaking La Sallista song with a disturbing title of “ I’d rather be Green than be Blue”?! If not, you can hear it in 97.1 or download it here on the Hauoli yahoo group. http://group.yahoo.com/hauoli . You still have to wait for them to approve you then go to their files section and you’ll see it there. Just reading the lyrics makes my blood boil. Maybe it has already sunk into me that I am already an Atenean. Boink!
Here is the funky lyrics. Damn! Patama sa mga taga- Ateneo! Peste!
Lasallista Song (Ogie and Randy)
I'd Rather Be Green Than Be Blue (The La Sallista Song)
Kamusta na mga 'tol, kapwa kong LaSallista
Year 2000 na, di ka rin nag-iba
Magaling gumalaw, bolero nga naman
Nguni't bilib ako sa layo nang iyong narating.
Di gaya nang iba, satsat lang nang satsat
Pagdating sa basketbol wala namang binatbat
Dribble nang dribble di naman maka-shoot
Sa strike lang ni Paeng buhok nila'y kukuloooot
If I were to live my whole life again,
I'd still want to be a LaSallista pa rin
Bayaran mana ako, I will still say to you
I'd rather be green than be blue
Mahirap daw magmahal nang syota nang iba
Yan ang sabi sa awitin nang tatlong matanda
Megastar, boldstar, star for all seasons
LaSallista lang pala ang hinahanap nila
Kawawa naman ang mga iba diyan
Nagtutulong-tulungan, di naman yumayaman
Manager, chairman, presidente daw sila
Nguni't LaSallista ang mayari nang kumpanya
(Chorus)
Wag mo 'kong subukan, that's what Erap said
Di naman siya uurungan ni Ms. Gorayeb
Mga loyalista, daldal nang daldal
Wag kang magtataka kung bakit - binaril si Rizal!
Ano, binaril? Bakit? Eh Atenista eh...
Mestiso man o hindi, pandak man o kirat
Pagdating sa entertainment, LaSallista ang lahat
Beauty queen, model, napapalingon
Nguni't LaSallista lang pala ang hinahanap nila
Si Gary, si Randy, at si mega-Mel
Ilan lang sa madaming LaSallistang sikat
Si Michael De Mesa, si Cocoy Laurel
Pati na si Ogie at si Juan Miguel

We already had our INTAC ( Introduction to Ateneo Culture ). Pretty boring but it was a perfect time to space out. My seatmate, Gary, was “screwing” me with his pen so I’ll not fall asleep. This subject has no credit whatsoever and that we’ll only have grades such as “satisfactory and failed”. Did I mention that we were only allowed to have 1 cut?! Yeah, sucks.
After that me and my blockmates ( Gary, Kim, Lia, Janeca, Patricia and Ana ) went to Caf up to eat! There we also saw Baba ( our TNT during the ORSEM ) and she showed her katakana and hiragana reviewer. She was so cute when she was seemingly crying because of her Japanese studies. Haha
Before our English class, Maki approached me and looked into the contents of “Gackt”
( the name of my beloved ipod ). He was quite shocked that I like Japanese songs since his first impression of me was that I am the type who listens to RNB and stuff like that.
( RNB my ***! I hate those songs! ) He was like, “ Wow! Chobits!”, “Driver’s high sa GTO!!!!!”, “ Final Fantasy!!” . I was aghast as well. For I know that only a small percentage of “people” listens to Japanese music. Banzai! We talk more often now because of our “unusual” fondness for Japanese stuff. How ironic, his name is MAKI. And yes, I told him that his name is delicious. Haha
After me and my English blockmates ( Kim and Katrina ) entered the Caf, I already saw “Zell”. ( From Final Fantasy 8 because he really looks like Zell!! ) Sporting his usual hairdo, he walked past us with his usual smile. * faints *. He is the kawaiiest bishie ever. Too bad I only meet him thrice a week in BotaBota class ( Botany class for short ). Oh yeah, before I forget, “Oni” is kawaii too. Full of humor!! He makes me laugh a lot. He also likes to walk inside the class with his hair in pigtails!! Cutie!! They ( Zell and Oni ) are the only boys who caught my attention. Well, There was “AJ”….too bad he is totally gay and he doesn’t know that I exist. Damn.
I indulged myself again with “Tuna Teriyaki” because the line in my favorite food stand was unbearable. Pag turn mo nang bumili dun, tapos na yung break mo. But still I miss their Beef and Chicken Salpicao. Maybe next time I’ll taste their “unfamous” Chicken pesto. The name itself makes my mouth water.
I passed the Diagnostic test! I’m already promoted to Math 11!!!!!!!! Yipee!! I wouldn’t take summer classes!! All my basic subjects are regular. This spells G-R-E-A-T! All of those promoted to math 11 had an early dismissal. *dances around*. The people made their way to Katipunan to “celebrate”. I didn’t go though, because I still have a lot of things to do! I really thought that only people with sagacity can pass. I just realized that I still have half of my brain working!
We will be having our cheer rally on Friday! Yey! I hope that I’ll learn all the cheers before the start of UAAP!! So I could cheer with the upper classmen too! Yey! A- rarara, T-rarara, E-rarara, N-rarara, E-rarara, O-ooooooooo. Actually, this is the ony cheer that I learned in our ORSEM.

huwaw! my first "decent" update for almost a month. Not to mention the 2 to 3 weeks error that some people encountered
when they want to open my site. wahh! a very big gomenasai to those people! I was just very busy with a LOT of things
lately. Considering that I am now...uhmm...what do you call that?...ah, yes....COLLEGE.
Let me just do some (long) recaps with what i was preoccupied with this past few weeks:
*June 7-9 2005 was our ORSEM ( Orientation Seminar ) in Ateneo.Yes,it lasted for 3 days but it was definitely worth it!
I tell you, IT'S sUPER FUN! The first day was filled with performances by various organizations in the Ateneo.
( CADS was my favorite for they are like the best dancers ever! ). The emcees totally rock too!
The band performances was held on our ORSEM night ( June 9 ) Ooh, how can you resist watching
Kjwan, Spongecola and Francis M. for FREE?! I didn't had the chance to take pictures of them though, because
they left the venue in the " back way" where we, freshmen, were not allowed.
*June 10 was the registration or " REG". It was my first time ( yup!yup! ) to enroll myself without my mom. I was freakingly
nervous but i marched right into the venue and looked for available P.E. classes. By the way, I ended up with Taekwondo!
( yipee! ). I didn't experience long lines!! Its because of their "online registration" chuvanelle. harhar
June 11- Guidance exam = crap. After this "exam", me, Gary and May toured katipunan on foot. F-U-N!
June 14- First day of classes and I was late by 30 minutes!! ( damn traffic! ) What's worst is that I entered the wrong
classroom and literally sat there for 5 min. Then I noticed that the teacher was super boring and said to myself : " Is
Botany class this bum-like?!". Good thing an upper classmen tapped me from the back and asked me:
Guy: "Freshmen po ba kayo?"
Me: "Opo"
Guy: "Botany Class?"
Me: "opo"
After snickering he said : " Uhm, dun po yung classroom nyo sa room 123 sa SEC A"
I immediately gathered my things and went straight to the classroom that he mentioned. I was so red with shame!!
" First day tapos pahiya kagad! "
The rest of the day was a total blast! I got to bond with more people at this point and saw Junie Lee ( candy cover girl )
because she was in another taekwondo class before mine.
*presses fast forward button*
Basically, 11 days of school was great. Well, a mind drainer too if i may say so. No more high school " happy-go-lucky"
attitude. I am still a bit "culture-shocked" by everything. Different school, teachers ( professor ), peers ( co-ed! ) and
college itself. ( One of my classmates was listening to his ipod while we were discussing and the prof didn't seem to mind
at all =) )
Today wasn't so bad, except the fact that we had our departamental math exam!! God knows how grueling it was!! I just
hope that I pass it so I could be promoted to math 11!!! * prays *.
Me, Gary, May, Kim, Ana and Patricia went to Katips after the exam to relax our brains in a way. We went to Shakeys,
National bookstore and Starbucks ( we didn't buy anything,we just barged in, sat and talked like there was no tomorrow. )
It was fun and tiring as well.
There you go....
