WWWWAAAAZZZZZUUUUPPPP BLOGSPOT! :) *pokes* Are you still alive?

1. Soooo, first year of college is over. Multiply this 3 times and I'll be off working in an actual WORKPLACE. But seriously, I don't see myself going up every morning, putting on a corporate attire (hopefully), DRIVING to work (again hopefully), dealing with an incompetent boss and nosy co-workers and getting a paycheck for doing something that I'm supposed to love. Well, at least not anytime soon. I have this weird feeling that I'm gonna die before I graduate. *knocks on wood HARD*

2. I had a lot of highs and extreme lows this year. Highs were induced by my ever so fun blockmates and lows from erm, acads and other responsibility issues. The Great Depression happened around mid Feb to the first week of March. I think I've done a little growing since then. I realized that I tend to suppress all the negative emotions at the start and then all of a sudden, release it all in one blow - to a stranger. Yeah. Sorry if I tend to be private most of the time. That's just how I deal with things. :(

And about the highs/happy thoughts..

<3

Gel catches me smiling alone most of the time which makes be go HUHWHAT since I don't know I've been smiling like an idiot the whole time. Well, it doesn't really take much to make this girl smile. :)

3. Last day of shifting: April 16 THINK LESLIE THINK.

4. We surprised Beth yesterday! :)



5. Hey wait. I TURNED EIGHTEEN AND DIDN'T POST ABOUT IT HEEEERE? :O Being legal is way more than just R18 movies, voting rights, excusable drinking sessions and mature coolness. It comes with loads of responsibility. People expect you to take full control of your decisions because you know, one wrong move could be the difference of a clean record and a rejected job application. (Sorry I can't resist. I had to bring up the clichéd idea of being sent to prison. XD)

6. I'm excited to see new faces in Econ next year. ;) Shiftees and incoming freshmen!

7. This summer, I must catch up with my TV frenzy. I'd rather not list the shows I have left hanging (unfinished seasons) since listing them will just squeeze the joy out of me. :/

8. HEY HEY THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE NOW. Tumaba ba ako?

I got bored online so here I am. :)

Big update about myself: I just had chickenpox. Just when I thought I had dodged this highly-contagious virus, it comes clucking on my door. Heeeey thanks for coming during my freshman year in college. :| But all is well. :) Except maybe for these spots which have ruined me. I'm scarred for life. Haha. Yuck ang arte.

My blockmates are really nice and friendly. Laughtrips all day long. ;) And huraah, we still have kilig moments. <3 I thought I left those in high school. And yeah, we have loveteams. Haha. Yiheee. *pokes at Mariane and Gel, my 2 closest UP friends* My profs are okay. My favorite would have to be our English teacher, Mr. Emil Flores, which could talk straight for 90 minutes and never run out of interesting topics to expand on. Second place would go to Mr. Christian Arellano, our Math teacher. My theory's true. I could never hate a math teacher EVER. Or maybe not.

Duckpin bowling is beginning to grow on me. The lanes however, are not. My bowling ball still swerves once in a while. But I got a strike twice already. And that deserves an applause (just wait 'til you see how crooked our lanes are).

Our campus is a very itchy place. I am not allergic to anything but I do get allergies every now and then. Maybe it's in the trees - those thick, green clusters of leaves. But whatever. I still LOVE it. :)

I think everyone has already adjusted to their new schools. New friends. New routines. New subjects. New profs. But everytime I watch UAAP, I experience this false regret of not studying in Ateneo. Yep, false.

College is beginning to bore me. And econ? mygaaah. I'm still contemplating if I would shift or not. My parents are telling Aprille, my younger sister, to pursue Accounting and in an instant, I have the "THAT'S MINE" look in my eyes. Oh well.

IARA'S NOT LEAVING UNTIL DECEMBER. Yahoo.

Goodluck to all UPCAT takers tomorrow! Especially to Luge. :)

First day of college tomorrow. OHMYGAAAHD.

Wish me luck. ;)

Pointing out the obvious, I haven't updated this ancient thing in a while. And it probably would stay that way. Monthly updating works for me. :) I guess the only reason why I haven't erased this site from the face of cyberspace is the thought that it has been here for 3 years now. :O What can I say? I talk long nonsense. And yeah, I still do. :D

Mmmkay. Nothing drastic has happened. I'm still old me + 10 lbs. I've been taking driving lessons and it all ends tomorrow!!! YEY. Clutch is evil. Automatic driving is cheating. License? Not anytime soon. :)) Do you expect me to master the art of mechanical footwork in 10 hours? I mean, REALLY.

What eeeeelse. Erm, I had a major insomnia attack last week. I went to bed at around 1 in the morning and found myself wide awake all the way until 8 am. Okay. O__O Well, I've been pretty much sleeping late (or technically speaking, early) this summer. But June 13 is just around the corner. ;) So I'll be craving for some shut-eye soon.

And not that I care or anything but a lot of good teachers are leaving St. Paul, you know, my old school. Some of which are Sir Melo, Ms. Jucutan, Ms. & Mrs. Rivera, Mrs. Cusi and Sir David. NOOO SIR MELO. I am mourning alongside Riza. :( But no fear. Katrina said he would be a part-time history teacher. :| Hah. Trigo students, poor are you.

College hasn't even started and I already miss everyone~! Tell me your schooooools. ;) So I'd know and I could visit and we could all live happily ever after.

On AI: I hope Taylor wins. <333 But I love love Elliott and Katharine too. It's just that sometimes I get annoyed by Elliott's moves and Kat's screechy high notes. :|

I (and Mimi too) DESPERATELY NEED SOME CLOSURE OVER SOMETHING SHALLOW. Please help us. X)

I'll miss these two. <333


I didn't know UP pre-enlistment would take this long. Last time, it took me almost 2 hours. :/ And I'm still not done. I don't have any idea what PE class I should take. :s I'm considering Cheerleading because Burn said all we have to do is watch UAAP games. Well, that's easy. Or maybe Basic Basketball because Tintin and I want to hone our hidden shooting abilities. XD

Did you know there's actually a class (under the PE subject) for Scrabble, Stretching and Running? :P

Because the big picture bothers me and my idle tagboard.

I WANT/NEED MONEY. This is the first time that I actually felt that intense need for those thin sheets of purchasing power. I'm willing to do any kind of service as long as it doesn't involve long exposure to the sun (summer heat could kill us all) and illegal stuff. On the other hand, I'm not yet 18 so they can't send me off to prison. So okay. I might consider being a part-time mugger after all.

4 days before our graduation. And I'm not even halfway in completing my 10-people-I-must-meet-before-I-graduate list. :(

I've come to the conclusion that what I really need is CLARIFICATION. Not closure. Closure is so dramatic and.. final. Why would I want finality when it hasn't even begun? SILLY.

Speaking of final, Charmed will end this May. After 8 seasons of gorgeous witches in skimpy tops (how were they able to move so much with so little?), it has finally surrendered to its greatest battle to date - tv ratings. But no harsh feelings. Their last season is just plain boring anyway.

~Deportment? WAHAHAHA. Gusto ata nila ng pinopossess na bata. (pinopossess = pinipilit na wag makatulog sa klase. at ang resulta? nanlilisik na mga mata.) :D

I'll be brooding at leslie79.livejournal.com most of the time (even if my browser refuses to load it). So shoo me. :)

Small (and quite long) updates:

1. New season of CSI on Feb 15!!! But I fear that the eps would be too common. The trailer itself is commercialized. :|

2. Surprise of the century: my parents finally bought a new computer. :O (I still use the old one though. Mom says I might have separation anxiety, like those young kids who wouldn't give up their dirty, worn out teddy bears. Probably because this antique machinery has been around since I was in grade four - I SWEAR. Congrats us for making it through 7 years of viruses and computer crashes.)

3. I still don't know whether I should attend the gradball or not. Majorly CONFUSED. The main (and only) reason why I want to go is so that I could say a few goodbyes and thank yous and blaaaaah and maybe spend one last batch assembly before heading to college. (I think the next one we'll have would already be our REUNION *gaspWE'REOLD*.) But I've observed that only a few people are attending. I shall [try] make a census and see. It would probably be a complete waste of time and money if the people who made my high school life memorable wouldn't be there.

Survey starts nowww. :D

Lately, I've been eating chocolates like nobody's business. They have become my instant happy pill these past days. Next week, I'll be eating cocoa beans just to make sure.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN! <3333

Season finale of House MD is the best everrrrr. Cried once or twice. If I only had Bill Gates' bank account, I'd pay everyone to watch that show.

I've observed that blogspot makes my internet connection slowerrrr. So goodbye weekly updates. :D

Anyway, new year was 5 days ago. Sad I wasn't able to make a 2005 review or a 2006 forecast/hopes/goals. Haha. Wala akong new year's resolution. Hmm. Maybe this year I should learn not to dwell too much on things. Sayang lang sa oras. And most of them are not even worth it.

And you know what sucks? The fact that I didn't jump on 12midnight!!!! TSK. I think my growth cells have long been gone. All I could rely on is a hundredplus tradition of newyear jumping and I missed it. 2 inches. I just need two inches.

Exam scores are kinda good. But oh goodness, music test paper. Wala ng mas bababa pa. It would be really frustrating if I fail the subject, don't you think? :|

News of joy and celebration: We're done with our Physics project! :) Praise the Lord. Did you know that we actually did 4 science projects? We kept on changing because it wouldn't freakin' work. And we spent like P500+ trying to find the right one. And tadah, we landed with baked ice cream.

It's like culi class all over again (only more pressure and less annoyance). We were making meringue in the HE lab during lunch time. Beating egg whites is fun in a weird way, watching it transform from liquid to white fluffy goodness. We served our final project to our Physics teacher (lunch) just in time for dessert.

ACET results tomorrow. TOMORROW. I should be scared and terrified by now but the thing is, I lost my folder/acknowledgement slip that contains my application number. So I'd have to wait a couple more days of agony before I know if I passed the school that I've learned to like so much since it's the good school that I could actually go to. Let's face it. UP is way up there. It's just too high for me.

Well, that should be long enough. :)

Because we have the lousiest internet connection in the land (and a busted computer to go with it), I would like to greet everyone a belated Merry Christmas and an advanced Happy New Year (just in case)! :D

This has been a looong and tiring day.

An update: Too much tv made me found love in Ethan Zohn and MiG Ayesa. <3333
