Happiness

Dear Lord,

Thank You for putting me in St. Thomas. I could not ask for more.

Love, Joanne

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
