Party like it is the end of the year

Asdfghjkl -- a word that best describe how great 2010 went. Wait, a word? No, it's not even a word... just something that would probably replace the word "great" because great isn't enough to sum how amazing everything went.


Unexpected things happened over the year -- yes, things. From good to bad, yay to nay, yadda yadda, the list goes on. It's just a hell of a roller coaster ride. I'm still enjoying it but it's about to end. Sigh. I have to move on, I guess. Another chapter of my life is on it's way and guess what? The first day of the year means 14 days to go til my birthday! I'm turning 16 and before that day comes, I just want to recall everything that happened throughout the year that went.


January shall be happy. ALWAYS! Like what I've mentioned earlier, it's my birth month! So as much as possible, no heartbreaks, tears and the like. Errr, irregardless of January 14, 2009 though. Hihi. Ok! My birthday went great, and the rest is as well. But the best thing about January is having no classes for 3 days because of our usual school fair! Yayyy!!! Upon learning that this is my last, I'm just glad that I made the most out of it. Polished nails, Rice in a box, Pizza hut, THE Campus Crush Booth (Which I was able to experience), Comedy Show something... everything was just great. A week after, Teacher's Day is celebrated! I was lucky - slash - unfortunate to be picked as one of the performers. Teehee. Whatever, let us move on.

February is love month. Hello, Valentines' Day is just around the corner! My most hated holiday of all... LOL! Kidding. Did I sound so bitter? Hoho, I'm not with someone else then but my eyes are full because of too much eye candies --  it's intramurals month as well! If you're talking 'bout team spirit, I have none for mine... but at least I enjoyed being with other sections, sorry!

March marks the end of the school year... and start of freedom! It's almost summer break, and I just had the grandest time on the first day of summer when St. Louis has a sort-of reunion at Quenny's place! But before all of that, we had Prom. Yes, PROOOOOM. It was that night where everybody gets glammed up and I swear, I was one of those girly girls then who left her sense of manhood somewhere.

April is a heatwave. That month is full of boredom as my retarded PC got busted by a freakin' virus. I've got nothing to do! So, I was going out frequently.  And oh, my Twitter's birthday falls on the same month! Hrhr, just saying.

May is the start of something new. Senior year is just about to start as enrollment period is lurking around the corner! And I was just flabbergasted when I saw my name on the first paper posted there. On the upper center of the paper are words which says "IV - ST. THOMAS" and I was like, "YAAAAAAAAYYY!!!" I'm in my dream section! But as I keep on browsing the freakin' paper, my cheers turned into boos when I realized that my barkada aren't in the same section as mine. AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! While they're all sorted in the same section, each having a companion. Darned. But I never lose hope and kept my fingers crossed that being this section would be the best among the rest.

In June, you can hear the bells. School bells, that is! We're back to school! And if you want to see how my first day went, go here. Anyway, St. Thomas usn't that bad after all.! And that was the first thing that I proved.

July must be the month were Valentines' Day is moved. Joke! I just had this little crush on someone. Hihi. And my first ever mall escapade during the year happened on the 3rd day of the month! The gang went to SM North to hang out and ended up watching Toy Story 3. And that was just the greatest day that month.

August is just as crazy. UPCAT month!!! The experience was nerve-wracking and exciting combined. I just wished that I'll pass there though. Oh and, Buwan ng Wika! My class topped the first ever elimination of that event!!! We're just too unfortunate that we landed on the second place during the finals. Screw the freakin' shiznitty computer which was on mute Oh and, to top all that, I was one of the chosen ones who danced during the program. I've got new friends -- the Metallics!

September would have to be the liberating month. And yes, I'm talking about our Retreat! 3 days of peace, holiness, and quirkiness! Our classes bonded pretty well. That we even watched MALPRISAA together, lol! Volleyball was held in our school... that made the admiration grew stronger. LOOOOOOL, kay. And I almost forgot how our class topped the eliminations for History Month! Helluhvuh! Darned technicalities again, we landed 4th. But heck, we grew better.

October is suppose to be the holiest month but because traditions are changed, we weren't able to complete the 9 day novena. Sigh. But our procession was just as memorable -- it rained really hard! And that was a blessing. Perhaps it's good luck for our USTET weeks after. Let me pass, please!!!

November is most probably the IDK month. Looool, I can't remember anything! But I'm sure it's the English month, and loads of activities paved our way! Our class wasn't able to bag prizes unlike before, but I can say we did great. NO, I'M NOT BIASED!

December is the cherry on top. Aside from love life progresses *ehem* class relationships were developed as well. Yayyy, and perhaps I couldn't elaborate this any further. It was just too cool for words! And it was the happiest month, bow.

I hope 2011 would be just as great. Not just mine, your's as well! Thanks 2010,you made my life worth living.

xx, Jowi ♥

P.S.: Happy New Year! From my couzern and I. :)

Glossophobia

Freshmen year was the year to beat. We had LOTS (yes, it deserves to be written in caps for super duper emphasis) of activities then! One of those is the Extemporaneous speech contest. I just can't forget it though. I was one of the contestants!!! I was unlucky - slash - lucky enough to be part of a contest which I don't have any idea of to start with. The day before my teacher said that I'll be representing my class was our Outbound so yeah, I was a bit cranky then. She was like "Joanne, can you join the Extemporaneous Speech Contest?" and I retorted with a "Ano yun? (What's that?)" Teehee. Then I found out that it was an on-the-spot speech blah blah blah, just ranting thingy. I agreed because I had no choice... or at least, for experience.

I was the tenth contestant for Division A... and it was just so blahhhh having mental gaps on stage. I guess I quite screwed up. But I'm a first timer, that's understandable! Or not? Well in my case, that should be.

Oh hi, I just feel like ranting how everything went. Practically, after 4 or 3 years. The effect of just sitting and watching the Extempo yesterday. xx.

Now, for whom?

And I could tell you;

his fav'rite color's grey, he likes to argue, born on the thirty-first.

His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes...

If you ask me if I love him, I'd lie.

I don't entirely get why I feel this way

I totally forgot to rant about how our favorite teacher hugged each one of us. Okay, lol, that's not me on the photo -- it's my classmate! And I just posted that photo here just for the reason that it touches my heart to the  realm everytime I see it. I miss October 27 and how euphoric it was! xx.
*11:42A.M., 10-31*

The Story of Us

It's been a habit every year! It's just that this year's celebration happened 11 days after the actual day. Ok, halt! I'll hold back the tears 'cause I'll be starting from the beginning.

H'okay so, I was almost late for school! For the first time, I fell in line in the middle-rs. Waaah, blame my forgetfulness -- I ran back home just to get the gloves I'll be using for our ValuesEd presentation! Speaking of which, everybody did great! As in every - freaking - body. It just goes to show that our batch is the best. Hahaha! Yes! And I'm so proud of my section who managed to pull out a rather decent presentation for this. I don't know what our grades will be but I hope it's something worth seeing. Yeah, 'cause I squeezed all my brain cells for all the choreography I know and making. Helluhvuh! `Cause I'm just a dancer who just can't contribute any steps which are as good as theirs. LOL, kay. 

Then again with St. Thomas, we hella spend the whole day watching Salt in between! Yeah, we were so into it. We love it! Then Step Up 2 after. Also, we had the elims for the Spelling Bee contest next month. I was supposed to be the representative but turns out I placed 2nd so bye! It's always been like that, I would place second from the representative. Waaah. boo. Oh well, that's how life goes -- I'm not destined to be a speller. LOL.

I've been waiting for dismissal since the moment I opened my eyes that day! That's the time we'll do the party kasi, so yes, I was really THAT excited for it. We surprised our beloved 2nd adviser by scattering around the corridor giving him our letters one by one leading him to the party room. Yeah! We were all like, pushing each other! Like everyone's too excited for it. And as he entered, everybody sang a birthday medley!

After which, we settled down to hear his speech! What happened to him was a total tearjerker, I must say. And learning that he appreciates the 3 years we have shared totally left me smiling. Heeee, the best, ever. Remembering all of those still makes my heart somersault.

Ending this post, here's a picture of us doing the `I'm such a Louis` pose! Because we are -- always have, always been, to infinity and beyond. xx.

It feels like this

Am I that obsolete regarding my "old" friends' stories and lives? Cause it's like I'm left behind. They would talk to me lesser than before and then at some point, it feels awkward talking to them. And whenever a get together would happen, I'd feel out of place because I can't relate... wherein I'll go away then talk to my "new" friends so I could have a good laugh. Huh.
*10-21, 9:41PM*

Fix-ins

I can't believe that I merely abandoned this blog!!! Emphasis on merely. I would open this then draft some words... I won't post it though! Cause usually, it's unfinished. Teehee. And because this month's drawing closer to its end, I've decided no matter how boring it takes to sum up words which prolly made my days during the past few weeks shall be typed in here. Hihi.

Oh wait, this sucks. I don't even know how perplexed my life was. But I had a few share of arguments then. And I'm kind of happy that those were finally over. Teehee. But hell yeah, it left a freakin' scar. Tsk. Wait,don't get me wrong. I don't bury grudges. Hoho.

KFC has been the place to be. It's like my second fridge already! And I would go there with friends whenever possible. The same reason why I'm always broke.

Whatever, I just need to update this. Next time, it'll be better. xx.

*11:34A.M., 10-17*

A Rather Interesting Post

And because I've been posting a lot of stuffs about love and the like, I made another post!!! With lesser of those, of course.

So, the month's about to end and I still haven't ranted about how great everyday was! Everything was bizarre... sure I can say that, but words can't explain how "bizarre" that went. LOL. So let me put memoirs caught on cam heyurrrr.

Preparing to leave!

September something yadda yadda -- Melicent's debut!!! First, we had it on St. Catherine along with her classmates and yuhhh, this perhaps is the continuation. Teehee. Speaking of birthdays, I attended 2 birthday blowouts before this. Bamp's and Stephen's -- 2 of my greatest boy buds ever! It was so fun being with them as well. And everything's different when you have 2 barkadas.

Half of the class, first chilly night, terrace

September 13 - 15 was our retreat!!! That was in Tagaytay... and aoejoifur8fgyt8gytygh would be enough to type happy. Yes!!! We were quite unfortunate for having distributed but swear, being with them during sessions is freakin' fun!!! I learnt a lot from them and I reciprocated it. Those days are filled with tranquility, peace of mind and chills! It was freezin' there... we can barely touch the fog covering the place. Mmmm, I miss. Oh and, retreat letters here and there! Everything was touching, thank you!

And just lately, we entered the Buwan ng Kasaysayan play something! Amidst cramming and effortless preparation, we entered the finals! We didn't win, though. But our class bonding has gone further and this is our second time! I'm so proud!!! And I'm loving St. Thomas more. ♥

As October draws nearer, Graduation's coming closer as well. 5 more months, I guess? xx.
*09-25, 12:09AM*

Now I know

Feelings can grow, but they can go away too.

I'm becoming cheesier as the clock ticks. Though I haven't decided yet, I think I found the perfect lyric for the situation. Teehee. 

AND I HATE HOW EVERY TIME I UPDATE THIS, IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE. xx.

*09-24, 10:57PM*

Perfect didn't feel so perfect

After clicking “Random” repeatedly, this picture I posted a few months ago went out.

Okay, I haven’t gotten over it yet. Despite D’s presence, I still miss how happy/ giddy/ excited I was whenever J would talk/ stand near/ (whatever sweet) to me.

I loved how I felt then. I don’t know why the heck would I feel the contrary of it whenever those things would occur now. And I hate how I sort of abhor him. Whyyyy.

Trying to fit a square into a circle was no life.
*09 - 11, 9: 35PM*

In My Head

Another week just passed by, and I'm enjoying Senior year more.

Well, it was merely a week. Classes are suspended last Monday and Tuesday because of Bishop Deo's priesthood and Town Fiesta. We were back at school last Wednesday and it was just so effin' great to be free. If you know what I mean.

Well, we just dedicated our Wednesday preparing for the elims that afternoon. Oh, and studying. LOL. Fortunately, my class won!!! It was unexpected, we placed first!!! And that made me love St. Thomas more. Heeee!

We're back to regular classes on Thursday. Trust me, you'll hear nothing but senseless rants coming from me about how boring that day went.

Friday would have to my day. Haha, I was excused almost the whole day!!! Almost, because I attended the first 3 periods -- Arts, yadda yadda and PE. Speaking of PE, Iguesssomebodysappealisgettingonme. Teehee. I was with Dance Club almost the whole day! And you'll see me dancing on the 31st. I enjoyed being there, hey. Especially vacant times, we were at the window meddling with the CAT privates. Hrhr, hell that was fun.

And again, this day was spent with Dance Club because of Buwan ng Wika. My joints hurt!!! We danced pretty much the whole day... and I am missing St. Thomas like crazy.

Like, OMG Baby. xx.

*08 - 28, 8: 53P.M.*

I got tired of waiting...

Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around.

My faith in you was fading...

when I met you on the outskirts of town.

August 11 and 14 would have to be two of the best-est dates in my life. Things -- which actually made me believe stronger in "good things come when you least expect"  -- totally unexpected happened. Yes, and I'm still stunned even 'til now.


August 11, 2009 would always be special... because that was the first time he phoned me!!! Well. Who knew that it's 1st year anniversary would cause another euphoria in my life? Heeee, accidents. So, mom's going out to buy med for gramma. I, being the ever loyal daughter who is very much willing to be a companion anytime anywhere, went out with her. We stopped at the place and as usual, I'm scanning the area. Suddenly, someone familiar is approaching. Before I knew it, I was stunned! And hell, it was him. We're friends, yes. So I tried to call him. Too bad he wasn't able to hear me. Teehee. To my surprise, I saw him go back and call me. Hihi. His friend (perhaps) told him about me then there, yadda yadda, for a split minute or so, we were able to talk. After which, he bid goodbye to my mom and I. YESSSS.


I got a week-long hangover for that. Check! But I never expected that that would happen again... On the same week!!! And I just regretted sulking over his absence. Teehee. Cause I felt so incomplete earlier that day. Gosh! Seeing him despite his absence makes me lucky. Or not? Ah whatever.


THIS IS NONSENSE AND MUSHY. xx.
*08-15, 1:17PM*

How I defined LOVE for an assignment

Makailang ulit na rin na ako’y magtaka kung ano ba ang pag – ibig. Madami na akong narinig na mga kasabihan at depinisyon pero ni isa sa mga ito ay hindi bumagay sa ’kin. Isang beses ay sapilitan akong hiningan ng aking ideya tungkol sa pag – ibig, at ang tanging nasabi ko lang ay “it’s unpredictable” o kung isasalin sa ating wika ay “hindi madidiktahan”. Hindi ko alam kung sa’ng lupalop ng mundo ko hinugot ang sagot na ito at kung pa’no ko nasabi ‘yan, ang alam ko lang talaga ay mahirap tukuyin ang mga susunod na pangyayari ‘pag ito na ang napag-uusapan. 


Pa’no ko nga ba nasabi ito? Marahil ay dahil na rin sa tuwang naidudulot nito sa’kin tuwing siya ay nakikita ko, at paminsan-minsan ay ang lumbay na kalakip nito tuwing may araw na magdaraan at hindi kami nagkikibuan. Isama na din natin yung mga panahong ako ay tila naiinis sa kanya tuwing kami ay nag –aasaran at nagkakapikunan at syempre, ang kaba at mabilis na pagtibok ng aking puso kapag siya’y lumalapit o nangangausap. Hanggang ngayon ay di ko pa rin alam kung natunton ko na nga ba ang tunay na kahulugan nito pero masasabi ko na naramdaman ko na ang pag – ibig.




I did this randomly. I know, it sucks.

Because It Will Always Be That Way

Sorry, I just have to post this now despite my previous blog update. Hellooooooooo!!! So, everything between my bestfriends and I are already settled. Heeeee. ♥
*08 - 01, 4:44P.M.*

For My Yah...

... who dedicated a blog post for me! In a return, I would write something about her as well.

So, my favorite internet friend is her. Jham Orcasitas, hello!!! We were clubmates eversince but we're not actually that close. Come Summer `10, a common thread pulled us and poof! We become close. Yah, thank you! I know, we're malandi and everything, but whatever, it pulled us closer! I love you! See ya on PRISAA! ♥

After all the relevance, secrets shared, landian moments told, wiiiiiiiiiiih! Looking forward. I was so touched, I did something in return. ♥
*08-01, 04:26*

J,

I thought I'd like the same person until Fourth Year graduation. I was wrong. Screw your existence. 

Oh wait, don't. If that happens, I'll die. For if not because of you, I won't be able to move on totally and would still be hurting from the past 'til now.

When we first met, I never had an idea that you'll be this special to me. On the first place, meeting you has never even crossed my mind. Looks like fate played with us. Also, seeing you for the first time was like seeing an alien alive. You were a total stranger and I was just so flabbergasted to see you with the same clique as I am, like I don't even want you to be there. Now, melancholy would creep on my nerves whenever you're late or not around.


It was only until now that I came to realize that you, watching me play basketball was just so sweet. Well, that was accidental but it happened twice. Sophomore year memories, hello. That was just so surreal, I even melted.


And I love how you kept your promise -- True, you never annoyed me again. And with that, I loved you deeper. Oh wait, scratch loved. Cause even until now, yours truly is still unsure of how she feels towards you.


Uh, whatever. Hallucinations.

-- J

*07 - 31, 4:49P.M.*

It's About How You Invigorated Life

I should've gotten that question! The other day, my classmate was asked to discuss the essence of being alive... something like that, something I can't remember, but the title of this post would have to be my answer. Now all I need is a little explication for this, Yesss.

Apparently, classes are suspended `til Friday. Which means, no St. James Day. 1, 2, 3, NOOOOOOOOO! Stupid water shortage. I never expected this -- everything's a hassle. It's our last year yet everything seems to be... "unusual". Rawrrr, frequent class suspensions? Nah-uh. It's making me sick! Leaving the thought that they're taking days away from my/our last year as a highschool student. *slaps self* On the brighter side, BYE STRESS! `Cause school's so tiring and we direly need this break. Amen!


Speaking of school, I feel like ranting how Monday and Tuesday went. Hahahaha, wiih!


The usual Monday mornings St. Thomas had during the past few weeks welcomed us. Bibliarasal + Homeroom Discussions + Room Fixations, the usual Thomasunog mornings. Ahhhh. We had an essay writing activity too. Like asdfghjkl, my heart's beating like crazy while writing my piece! Pressured, perhaps? Rawr, wish "The Babble Machine" good luck! Oh and, him talking to me makes my heart somersault as well! Hihihi. Kill yourself Joanne, you flirtatious creat. This day ended with two of my closest friends finally making-up. Huzzuh! He baked cookies for her, but I  was the one who gobbled it all up. Nyahahaha, and I can't help but laugh after everything I did. Whtvr. But Donne, if ever you're reading this, THANK YOU! Those are enough after all the effort I poured for convincing Andrea. Hahaha, Kidding! xx. J. Anything for those two, I love them! Hrrr, the same thing goes for Al who finally reconciled with me. Wooooh! I wonder when's my bestfriend gonna do the same?


Call me wanderlust, but I just won't wait for my adviser to open our room -- I'd rather explore the wilderness! And talk. And laugh. Yeahhh. I suppose we did nothing all day. Mentors are quite dazed... for the upcoming event, probably? So, we were left to do things on our own. Religion time for example, we played "Mahal Mo Ba Ako?" and everyone picked on us. I could just die of embarrassment. K. So, we're already an entity. LOL. A Face-to-Face thingy happened during T.L.E. class, regarding my "adoption". I halted my tears but it fell eventually after James pissed me off. Burn. Tuesday, whyyyy.


Things are getting a bit perplexed. Lord, help meee. xx.
*07-22, 11:39A.M.*

A Break from the busy civilization

I don't know how to begin this.

I used to love Friday so much. Now, if only I could halt the time and skip it, I will. Last week, We had our first (and perhaps the most memorable as well) C.A.T. meeting which caused me body pain `til Tuesday the week after. Asdfghjkl, I know right! I guess our clique's sudden trip to the mall and Ginang's jumping jacks worsened the pain. Huuuuu, I wish it would somehow make me taller. Hihi.

DANCE CLUB HELD AN AUDITION BOTH FOR NEW AND OLD MEMBERS. Lucky for me though, it was suppose to be my turn on the dance floor when our moderator announced that all members which are vying for loyalty can leave because we are automatically in. ASDFGHJKL, yaaaaaaaaaaayyy. I've been waiting and praying for this since God knows when and I thank for Him giving me this blessing. Please, please, please, let me dance? :)

My Spanish class teacher quite scolded me and my seatmate who was constantly talking to me. He had us talk infront of the class and yeah, I was able to get by, good for me. And speaking of him, I was able to talk to him outside the classroom - in English. Hahaha. Last week, we came across him and he asked for directions. Kayyy.

The whole class including our Reaserch class teacher already knew about him and I. Andami nang JeJomons!


I don't know what will happen to me and my bestfriend. You just don't know how hell-ish T.L.E. class would be. I wish I could go invisible.

Thomas Thomas Sunog! We can't use Titans anymore, it's way too obsolete. We can't use Thomasticles too, it's still fresh from last year's St. Thomas' minds. Thus, we labeled ourselves ThomaSUNOG. Simply because almost everyone in class is dark and the fair ones are countable. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.I'm falling in love with these people each day!

School's getting busier as each day passes. And oh. March 31 is the tentative date for our graduation.
Chimes `11 had already released its info sheet. Better start doing it now. xx.
*07 - 10, 10A.M.*

Celebration

HAPPY J DAY!

Its been 2 years. I think I must stop this idiocy... Or not?
*07 - 04, 8:40PM*

Bizarre

One word to explain how this day went!

• Back with my fille who missed me a lot too.
• Though we're inches apart, he -  whom - I - like is still talking to meeee.
• Someone caught my attention, I feel something. It's forbidden though!

Lord, Thank You. xx.

*07 - 01, 8:40P.M.*

Swimming In The Sea of Sunshine-y - Sad Thoughts

He - whom - I - like sang PNE's "Sorry na" for me!!! Why the heck can't they -  whom - I - love - and - I - consider - as - my - bestfriends do the same?
*06 - 30, 5:30P.M.*

What's Not And What's Hot

I actually thought about cooling down for the sake of everybody's silence.But after all what happened, I regretted the fact that it even crossed my mind. Screw thy social misfits.

Being stranded on school rocks, specially if you're with people who knows how to have fun. Ooh-la-la, I was with Brenz, Donne, Luigi, Zita, Shenna, April, Karylle, Lady and Jazaj while venturing our creepy campus to look for a dry place. Yuh, and we all walk barefoot on the ankle-high water-dipped ground floor. I was so proud of myself, Zita became more than an acquaintance now.

Rewind during Lunch time, I cried my heart out after giving in to my feelings. I can't actually forget how stupid I looked. Screw them misfits, they'll have a taste of their own medicine soon. Am I mean or what? Or I guess I just had enough of incarcerating my mean girl ego and the urge of releasing it just came? Hrrr, I have no idea but it seems like I'm already bashing.

Sorry, this sounded like a hate blog. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FREAKIN' UPSET I AM.

"Oh honey, you're so barking at the wrong tree right now, don't you". xx.

*06 - 30, 1:33A.M.*

When The Going Gets Tough

June is drawing closer to its end. I just loathed how everything seems to be balanced then! Until now, where things are getting pretty screwed. By the way, this is a happy >> sad post.

My heart is freakin' fine. HE IS THE GREATEST, EVER. Though signals aren't clear yet. But he never failed to make me smile ever since the 15th of June. Like for this instance, he was shouting my name when I'm just behind him. Yeah, and I was like dedfoefof, I was left feeling infatuated. And when I got mad at him for pissing me off, he sang this song with a "Sorry na kung nagalit ka di naman sinasadya" lyric with his friends as his backup. Yadda yadda, I have lots here... but I'd keep them to myself. Bulgar!

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO APPROACH MY FRIENDS, FML. I don't know who's stupid but whatever, I'M GOING TO SELF DESTRUCT.

I could really use a wish right now. xx.
*06 - 28, 7: 52PM*

Fried Days Are Over

Glad that I overcame this week with such happiness! Though, some things got totally screwed. My heart's sort of broken, for real.

I lost my friends. Or not? I don't know, but we had this misunderstanding earlier. I felt bad after seeing my classmates being fetched by their respective clique or friend who were waiting right outside our room, while I was searching for mine where you can find somewhere along the corridor. Far from my room. Not really! But I wish they would at least wait for me right outside my room, TOO, and never comply with a "Masikip dun eh" response because I never complained anything about waiting outside their rooms which is very much crowded since it's nearing the exit. Blah blah blah. *Cogitates on how good - slash - bad of a friend am I*

We had our first mass for this school year too! It's hot and all and everything, but we ignored the heat for the sake of this school year's abundance. Oh well.

Lunch time, I was still with April and Jazaj who kept me company after the misunderstanding. Guilt, why don't you elude me so? Hahaha, hello years.

We had our second meeting for Spanish class! I don't know why the heck I'd tremble whenever Señor Javier would call names. Don't want to be called, perhaps? Yes yes yes. I'm shame-o-phobic, LOL.

After all our subjects were done, we were incarcerated inside our room to be oriented by CAT officers. CAT was... *end*! We were asked to never mention anything about everything that happened. Yes, or else I'll die sooner and that'll be the end of my career. Anyways, the "SANTIAGO!" scream at the dismissal is ♥. And I guess Bamp got the hots for it that he seized my shoulder and screamed at my ear. "Sir, yes, sir! Permission to dismiss, sir!" Something something something.

I was suppose to go to a reunion party after class with Andrea but anger management got in the way so buh-bye reunion. I along with April, Jazaj and Karylle went to the nearby shake stand to chill when Julius and Jhenny came. So we were there for an hour or so and... and... I SAW BABY BROTHER! Hihihi. This is the second time, I guess. The first one was last week. Kay, will earn guts to talk to him. LOL, not.

It was pitch-black during the last 5 hours. Brownout! Sucks, I know. I'm planning to sleep but I never accomplished it because of the heat. Now's the time. xx.

*06 - 26, 1: 08A.M.*

Thursdays, Totally

I just feel like telling everyone how weird my Thursday went.

St. Thomas, of course, was left downstairs while the praying of the rosary is going on. There are times that ginang would allow us to sit on the tiled whatsoevers beside the school canteen but the moment we stopped praying, we'll get to stand for the rest of the prayer. Asdfghjkl. 


My heart was beating superbly fast when we entered our room. English class! Ohmygoshedieqhdued, I can just imagine how Mrs. Mendoza would transform and scream at me telling how such a failure our reporting was. Yeah, I was worried like that. And for that, I haven't noticed that I was busy daydreaming - slash- staring at a blank space until someone called my name. Oh, it was just Jem asking what we're gonna do for our Physics report. "Joanne... Joanne... Joanne! Hahawak lang ako ah, ikaw na magsalita." "Ah oo, sige."

Had some presentations for Filipino class. Know what, I was laughing secretly the whole time! Some of my classmates didn't took the task seriously, that's why.

Whenever I'd speak infront, I would usually get blocked or something. AND I ALMOST SCREWED UP OUR PHYSICS REPORT, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Yay for Jem who saved my life after cracking everyone up!

JOWI: *whispers* Mag-introduce ka dali!

JEM: Good morning everyone, we're from group 1 and we're here to discuss about technology.

MS. LABS: Teka, ba't ganyan yang collage nyo, di naka-paste, ano ba yan?

JEM: Collage po.

CLASS: *laughs*

Whew, that was close. I pulled through and made a nice and petty explanation. Yaahhh.

Fire and Earthquake drills were done at the second and third periods. Despite sultriness, we are obliged to go outside the campus and fall in line SJEIDEIWHW we all smelled like sweat.

Had a test for Math then report for English after. Had the best "f*ckyeah" moment ever! Our report was... right! Perfecto! Bravo! YON. What happened was a contrary to what I had in mind.

Had song practices in preparation for our mass on Friday. It just wasted our time, I guess. LOL. Cause we lost our Research class which was suppose to be on that time. Our research class which seems to be so important... Yeah, that's it.

Still had 30 minutes left for our last class. Ours was religion. Yuh, I almost died of embarrassment as Vier, Mon, Miguel and Irvin freakin' picked on me. Jem was there, too. Blah blah blah.

As usual, dismissal time is quality time with Andrea. But this time, Yanie was with us. Yadda yadda.

THURSDAY. xx.
*06 - 24, 9:00P.M.*

After all, I waited but never expected

"Hindi mo naman na-a-appreciate yung mga ginagawa ko"

J's for the win line when I got irritated with the way he cut the pictures. Little did he know that I have this "his - innocence - slash- slight - stupidity - is - so - cute -in - a - sense - that -  he's - making - me - giddy" thought going on in the back of my head. I also cut this December 14 something from a magazine clipping which he never let go of after I gave it to him. Unfortunately, he left it somewhere and I took it for myself. Hahahaha. Then we would talk like how we used to back in sophomore year. Hayyy.

Things are falling into place one by one. Best wishes. xx.
*06 - 23, 8:46PM*

You Could Call Me A Flirt Then

It's been two years since "these things" happened. It feels so good to see "those" again! Not exactly, though. But it's most likely related to what I'm feeling. XJPDEODFJREOFWP, am I happy or what?! Oh, superbly. Ayayayayay!

Like what I've said in my previous blog, good luck to this which has been improving since day 1. Boo yah!

Of First Days And Affections

This school year started off great. Buena mano much? Because I never expected that the coming days would be great as well!

WEDNESDAY, June 16

Second day of school! The start of our busy lives. Nothing much happened, but a few memorable things occurred. Wait, occurred? Hahaha. First time to form our lines downstairs! We're seniors so we're most likely thrown at the back. As usual, we were left standing there until the rosary's done. Ouch, I know, right? I just love hogging my chair afterwards... Anyways, having P.E. with Catz paid that off! It was so much fun, specially that I have lots of colleagues there. But news about being gymnasts for P.E. class gave me mixed emotions. Errmahgawd, I can just pictue myself falling off the balance beam. Well. Social studies class was quite boring. I am struggling hard to keep myself awake like a fish trying to sleep with its eyes closed. Impossible. Music class rocks! WOOHOOO!!! Mr. Enguero allowed us to watch NBA game 6, we weren't able to finish it though. And because of that, we were late for Math class! Mrs. Castaño's nice to let it slip. We played Pinoy Henyo, and my classmates are such bitzes for they would answer with sarcasm. But we all had fun! I was laughing the entire time, really. Ako coach ni *toot*! He should be thankful, if I'm not sitting infront then he won't get to answer it correctly, HAHAHA LOL. Our first meeting for English class went only for about 20 minutes. Mrs. Mendoza has to attend something important so we were left in class with no one so... the commotion goes on!!! Our last subject is Physics. Hellavuhboringyuhhh. But Mrs.Labs is so funny and makwento to the extent that the boredom-ness of this subject is unsubtle. We had our groupings too, of course. And yes, he-who-must-not-be-named-slash-whom-I like is on the same group as mine. Asdfghjkl. I spent dismissal time with Andrea, walking around the school, catching up with each other. We really missed each other, eh!

THURSDAY, June 17

Terrific third day of school! It was a milestone for Thomas to be seated during the praying of the rosary. Yehey! Oh, Vier came to school already. He had a grand entrance and a warm welcome with matching intro and applause from us. First subject was supposed to be Filipino but they alloted it for class elections. After which was Science, where Ms. Labs instructed us to make an essay regarding the branches of science whatsoever. I did it hastily so it's crappy. Economics is so... *pokerface*. Back in third year, we would hear a boinking sound. It was only until now that we came to know it's Mrs. Castaño's timer. First day of subject meeting with Mrs. Mendoza again! It's the first day, yet we had a pre-test already! I don't know what grade to expect, I was too distracted. No, not because of that. Lunch break, then computer class. My presence was acknowledged after reciting and telling everyone who Charles Babbage is. Elowel. I saw - - - - telling - - - - - - something. Hihi, sure hope it was not something. Uh, you know what I mean. Research class was our second to the last period. Ms. Isaac's so pretty! I love her. She asked us to group ourselves by committee then think of an entertaining way to introduce ourselves. Ours was a game so St. Thomas enjoyed a lot! I had fun with my committee-mates while constructing our activity! Vier said something totally embarrassing regarding J and I, so I hit him twice with Mon's notebook. *winks* Our presentation went well, and chess stuffs were invented! Teehee, I died laughing asdfghjkl. Our last subject is Religion. I feel so bad, I miss Sr. Deney a lot! All along I thought that he'd be my teacher 'til Senior Year. *Less than slash three here* Well of course, quality time with Andrea ended my day and alleviated the pain.

FRIDAY, June 18

Energy went down, and we were left standing downstairs again. Because of that, I did not stand for an hour, hogging the chair to myself, unless needed. Damn my kitten heels. We had our first meeting for Filipino class last Friday. Same as with the other sections, we introduced ourselves by means of acting. My gawd, are my classmates funny or what? They're all making me laugh! Heee. We did nothing for Physics class except for this highlighting activity which was totally "en-juvenile-ing". HAHAHA! We had early recess to give way to that awarding thing which was supposed to be done last year. They cut off our 3rd period because of that! Rawr. Ours was supposed to be P.E.. Being a noob made my head bled in Math class. Lunch, then Spanish class which was totally enjoying! Our instructor never said any Filipino or English word but he would use hand gestures so we'll be able to understand him. Last subject was Arts, we proceeded on doing the introduction thingy plus, a bit of charades. That charades something which totally made me furious. Know why? Cause my team's leading then we lost at the end because the second group did better. Ako na hindi sport! Hahahaha. Had our first monitoring job too! LOL at Jem who keeps on bugging me. LOL at what I've just said/typed.

FIRST BARKADA HANG-OUT

Donne's treat at KFC! The whole gang was there -- boys and girls. Cool. Oh and we're a pack. Cooler. Sir Deney went there. COOLEST. Quality time with the clique for the first time this school year! Wiiih! Si Ser Deney inaasar ako! Boo. YAH. Hihi.

*I, standing*

SIR D: Waiter!!!

JOWI: Ah ganon?!

SIR D: Ikaw, porket nandito lang si ------...

JOWI: Di kaya! *hides face*

Then he asked me to sit beside he-who-must-not-be-named-slash-he-whom-I-like. A few declinations happened but of course, we sat beside each other in the end. Hrhr. While J was gone to get something, Sir told me "Maswerte ka nga eh, pinaglalapit ko kayo" wherein I responded "Eh sir, kaklase ko naman yan" then he said "Ganon, dun na lang kayo magkadevelopan? *laughs*" He even told our teachers back in second year (who happened to be there also) that "Jojowain to nun eh" Asfghjkl, hahahaha! And the yie's goes on. Believe me, this story I told hasn't even reached the half of this all.

Mixed emotions for that, ya know. Hindi naman sa pakipot ako, ayoko lang kase na inaasar ng ganon. Laking pasasalamat ko na lang dahil walang paki/kamuwang-muwang si J. Hah! Good luck to myself and to this which was progressing since day 1. Ayayayay

It's a rollercoaster kinda rush. ♥ 

P.S. Forgive me, this is one crappy post.

P.P.S. I can't think of any good sentence while typing this. xx.

*06-20,1:00A.M.*

Who knew that the end's beginning would be great?

Random thoughts about senior year are going on in my head! And it surely didn't help my insomnia. Oh, I have? Hihi. Guess what, I wasn't able to sleep well last night. I slept at 12 something then woke up before 4! Oh yeah, my sleeping habit's totally screwed. Oh well, summer hang-ups. On the other side, I have all the time to prepare. I'm excited, nervous, asdfhjkl -- I feel so random! Thoughts are clouding up my mind, like totally! 

Went to school at around 6: 30. Good thing, I have my cousin from Pius who would accompany me to school every morning! So we went to school together and part ways as we reached our corridor. It was teeming with people from our batch and the batch below. It was crazy! I hear voices, but mine stood out. Despite lacking sleep, I managed to be superbly eccentric! I know, I would shrill at the top of my lungs whenever I'd see a friend or or two. First thing in the morning, St. Thomas was missing! Only to find out they were scattered like hell. Good thing I saw Shaine and we were together looking for our classmates. Yes! Old connections are still working. *winks* I walked through the corridor and saw my Borger friends crowding on St. Dominic's door. Of course, we missed each other like crazy so we crazily greeted each other! After them, I continued walking and saw Spongecake! Minus Dreng, though. Another crazy kamustahans happened! Heee. So that was a cranky icebreaker for my Senior year.

It's been two months or so since I heard Mr. Torres' bell which signals us to form our daily line formation on the roofdeck. I went there with Aizel and searched for our designated place. Hah! We're seniors already! We were thrown at the back! Oooohhhh. And again, hyperactivity attacked yours truly. And that was until Gng. Aransazo came. She looked strict (yes, she is), but she's actually fun, the kind of adviser you would want. Tough luck for Thomas, though! There goes our first punishment. Ginang left us standing there in the sultry hot roof deck, and that's just so whack. My feet hurts. Oh wait, before I forgot. Speaking of line formations, I'M SIXTH IN LINE! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Before entering our room, Gng. A acted as if she were a scanning machine! Though, no one was caught to go down to the P.O.S. office because everybody's safe for today. Mixed seating arrangements weren't made yet but our dearest adviser made us sit according to our height for the mean time. It feels so good to be seatmates with people you know, Michelle and Kayle! Thank you! Uh-huh. Oh and, before we had our recess, Ginang let us choose our own committees. I actually don't know where to put my name but seeing "Play" getting full already, I jotted down my name on "Serve" along with Aizel. And it was a coincidence that he-who-must-not-be-named-whom-I-like had the same committee choice as mine. Asdfghjkl, so we're committee mates. Heeeeeeeeeee! And that made me happy all through out the day. I went out of the room telling everyone who knows about "us" this thing. Hihihi, Ang landi lang ng moment na to pero ang saya saya ko!!!

Here comes recess, and I get to spend it with Spongecake!!! I missed those three. I missed seeing them united. And this moment just touched my heart superbly. *blushes*

1x1 photos were taken after we went back from our recess break. After taking mine, Andre came and we caught up. Yeah, and we were talking about how small I am. Asdfghjkl. Oo, tanggap ko na eh! Then went back to the farthest room from the deck, our's. Back to the orientation. Ginang A let us read the powerpoint presentation. You don't know how fast my heart beats whenever it's nearing my turn. I might say or do something ridiculous which may hurt my impression! I don't want that to happen. Plus, he-who-must-not-be-named-whom-I-like is on the same room as mine, right... and consciousness won't just leave me. Elowel.

Lunch time was still with Spongecake. But Shiela was there, too.Greeeeaaat. It was quite, uhm, I don't know. I'm just not used with seeing her with Spongecake, so... *big grin here*. Had a little crazy something with the C210 guys. As usual, J somethings. And thus, Jejomon was born!

It's so nice of Ginang A to let us go down and have our ID pics taken though it's not time to do so, yet. Hahahaha! I love her already, she's the best! She tells us stories and I swear, her stories would keep you awake 'cause they're interesting, really.

As this blog goes on, it does not make any sense. Or not? Oh well. First day, so far so good. xx.

*06-15, 8:24P.M.*

Being Contrary

Re-reading my previous blog posts, tweets and notes about yesterday, I realized I was too, uhm, emotional? Yeah yeah, and it looks like I'm having a hard time moving on. Oh hells, and I'm done after 10 months. It would just cut me without my knowledge, I know.

My mistake, I should be invigorating the present instead of overthinking. Better yet, I shall change my  view upon this 10 months I have. I shall take it as a blessing in which HE gave me time to enjoy my not-so remaining days with these people I love.

Heeee, I just can't wait to make the memory cam roll. xx.
*07-11-`10, 10:07PM*

Oh happy day, why didn't you shoo melancholia away?

Marian texted me the other night asking if I'd pass my UPCAT app form 2 on school `cause deadline is on the 18th already. Of course I can't refuse! Would I dare ruin my relationship with her & the gang and my future? Hell no. So we had a little meet-up earlier. It was Marian, Melicent and I who were there. Andrea has to go somewhere so she can't come with us. Pero wag ka, pagpasok namin sa school andun sya, hahahaha. We were about to pass the forms already but with wrong instructions and the forms not printed back-to-back, we have to have it reprinted. Oh great, it just hindered me to go back to sleep.


Off to Marian's place we go! Good thing that their printer's loaded with ink, which means that we don't have to spend anymore. Teeheehee. After a few errors and misprints, we finally settled it right and back to Malabon we go! But before we stopped and munch our lunch at KFC, we had Melicent's 2x2 picture taken first. We have to wait for 30 minutes or less before we get it. Heeeee... so we spent time eating, catching up and laughing! Apparently, C210 was there and heck yeah, they were totally picking on me, linking me to J. Those bitzes. Hahahaha!


We let half an hour pass after deciding to come by my place. Did nothing for an hour except talk, read back ishs of my Candy Magazine collection and watch Sukob on Studio 23. LOL. (This paragraph is just so ignorable.)


We went back to school at 1: 00 post-meridiem. And at last, everything was settled! *evil laugh* Now all we need is to pick those forms up on Tuesday so we could pass it. Mmmmm, I could just smell college spirit. After series of negotiations, we toured the school! First, we went upstairs using the stairway behind the canteen but shame attacked us so we halted. We were walking towards the school gate when a bulletin board which was designed with stuffs and has this "Seniors!" thing on it caught our attention. Flabbergasted to see that it has our batch's pictures on it. Our batch. And I was totally blown off. I just can't believe we're about to leave highschool. Heartbreak number 1.


After that, we went upstairs again via the staircase from gate 2. Heeee, we saw Sr. Deney! And it was a wrong move for me to wear short shorts. Heck I was so glad to see him there! He was fixing Mo.F's room and I am just proud to say that I disturbed him just to catch up. Hihi. I said "Sir, ti-teacher-an mo ba kame?" He jokingly answered "Hindi ko kayo magiging teacher, estudyante kayo, ako ang teacher!" HAHAHAHA. I know, my question was totally mindeffin' so we laughed. And then I said "Sir, hindi ako sanay na hindi ikaw ang teacher ko." he answered me with a "Ganyan talaga." And that's where our little pep talk ended. Heartbreak number 2.


What totally hurts me the most, learning that this someone I like will ditch the city for a simpler life in the province, which means he's goin' to study there on college. HAH. Talk about being happy `cause we're almost neighbors. Sigh...


Charceline asked me "Are you, by any chance, lonely?" THIS is the answer. xx.
*06-10, 3:46P.M.*

When Thoughts Come Around at 1: 30AM

Hello, June 7th. I know, a week before school starts! When it's supposed to be a day before classes starts again. Helluvuh yeah.

A week from now, we'll be venturing on the brink of our highschool lives. Alarm to my batchmates! Sounds surreal at first but it's true. It actually takes time for me to accept such kind of things but of course, reality bites and it looks like it chomped half of my body as I ponder we're seniors already. Yes, for real.

To my batchmates, we're in the realm of this earthy jungle. Is it safe to say we're superior? Teehee. *wink* Bring it on, yo! Show `em we rule. RAWR! Oh and, hello St. Thomas class! I'm craving to meet ya'll. I sure hope we'll click and have the grandest time ever. Please, not another deteriorated one.

Mind you, these thoughts were first written on my then Filipino notebook. And it served as my codigo while typing this. Hahaha!

Lakers lost, 1-1. xx.

To different places and beyond

Pretty soon, I'll be walking in these pretties. *smiles* And I just can't stop counting down, yo!

HALT! Reading the first words I typed seems like I'm pretty much excited for school, huh? Well... If I can move our classes' opening back to June 8th, I WILL!!! I feel so bad thinking that they took a week away from my Senior Year! Oh and, 500 pesos from my allowance. Hihihihi. Boo.

Have I mentioned that the ribbon thingy on my new pair of shoes made me excited? No? Kay.

H'okay! I'm worried this might be drafted again... so I'll post it though it's not that long and pretty much amusing.

Have you noticed that I've been using "pretty much" a lot? Okay. xx.
