Exams over

Finally! Heaving a sigh of relief was finally the thing we all did after the exams (Wednesday). Hana and my sister Lara went with me to RP and we watched Hairspray. The follwing are what you should watch out for if you haven't watched the film:

-John Travolta as a supersized mom
-Michelle Pfeiffer ('nuff said)
-Cute, cute, cute, cute, even cuter than in HSM.....ZAC EFRON!


Ha! But no, the exam scores are HORRIBLE. Except for English. Reading was such a surprise for me. Language..a little bit disappointed..but happy. But still...I have to get that average of 90! *cringe.


Music: Lifehouse

Movie to watch out for: 1408

l-r, top to bottom: Theresa Licaros, Honey Lee, Riyo Mori, Ningning Zhang





Asians rocked Miss Universe 2007! Ü


That wuz all I can say about the Miss Universe 2007 beauty pageant.


Our very own Anna Theresa Licaros (summa cum laude, UP Diliman!) took home Miss Photogenic. (Well, it was online voting, and Filipinos know the deal 'bout that.) Haha.


The other special award, Miss Congeniality, went to Miss China Ningning Zhang (voted by the contestants).


Five Asians got in the Top 15 (Thailand, India, Korea, Japan). Miss Thailand didn't make it to the Top 10. Miss India didn't make it to the Top 5.


4th runner-up: Miss USA
3rd runner-up: Miss Korea
2nd runner-up: Miss Venezuela
1st runner-up: Miss Brazil
Miss Universe 2007: Miss Japan (Riyo Mori)
Asians already stood out in the pre-pageant and other cool stuff they went to and went through. I noticed Ms. Mori's and Ms. Lee's beauties during interviews, etc. But we thought that Miss Korea would place higher than Miss Japan. (Well, she didn't.)
But anyway, it was still glamorous like the previous ones.

I've been in a kinda-hiatus because of SEP classes, but anyway, I'm back. (Haven't completed my list of 10, Ate Lara!)I'm still in a kind of hangover, since yesterday SEP ended. It's been like a shock for me. You know, not absorbed it fully yet. Those driving-to-Ateneo and snack times and going home and laughing-'bout-adventures times are GONE!

Check out my Multi sooner or later for pix.

My classmates were all fine. I made friends. Many of them. Meanwhile, there are some whom I don't even know their names. But I guess they are just normal teens wanting to either "flirt.....or prepare yourself for the next school year". (quote from Gunslinger, a section of Hilites mag given to us. -official student mag of AdM HS). Bwaha. My teachers (Mr. Falgui for Speech and Mrs. Concepcion) are also great.


Thursday, May 24, penultimate day. Around 8 of us from Speech are supposed to emcee for the recital of SEP guitar class. Why only 8 when we are almost 40? Well, not all didn't want do it. Though there were many reasons to be nervous (lack of practice time, blah...), we did great. I did great, according to Mr. Falgui, my sister, and my cousin (both taking SEP) and my parents (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"???????????!!!!!*), even though there was a technical error in the middle of my part. Believe me, I have done public speaking many times in my life, but this one really got on my nerves. I mean, in front of people 2/3 of which I don't know. Plus the pressure and all. Blah blah.

But still, it was a good experience.


Friday, May 25, last day. My geom class, Geometry B- supposed to go to Eastwood. But Ayriel cut off, Mikee (from MC) had no money, so I didn't go na lang din. We (Jelle, Ate Amy, Stephanie) with the folks just watched Pirates 3. Watch it too, btw. Amazing. And Johnny Depp hot as usual. :D

I finally got my hands on Avril Lavigne's latest album, The Best Damn Thing. Here is "Runaway", one of the tracks I really love. I predict it's going to be a hit (only if it's released as a single first, of course). Review for the CD will be next time (kinda in a writer's block today). I mean, we're all sick of Girlfriend (ubiquitous music video) that we've damn memorized it! Hell yeah! :)


Runaway
Written by Avril Lavigne, Lukasz Gottwald, Kara Dioguardi
Track No. 3
Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work ‘cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down, I'm already on the ground
No you can't, ‘cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out, no
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud
And Ifeel so alive
I can't help myself
Don't you realize
CHORUS
I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
So so is how I'm doing, if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there, come closer, it's at your own risk
Yeah you know how it is, life can be a bitch
But I feel so alive
I can't help myself
Don't you realize
CHORUS
Runaway....Runaway........
CHORUS

I am about to change my layout, but then laziness came upon me and I decided to just roam around the Web. The PC is bugging for restart mode, and I chop it off with "Later".

It's been long since my last post (!). Anyway, my sister graduated from GS and the seniors graduated from HS. (Sayang di ako nakapunta, I was supposed to go pa naman.) *sigh*. I just wish them luck (both batches) as they are about to face new worlds (naks!).

There is no DSL yet in the house. We so need to follow-up because we're not getting any response from PLDT.


I've already enrolled at Ateneo for SEP with some of my friends, my sister, and a cousin who's arriving in May. I am taking up Geometry (cringe!) and Eloquence.

"Ang gara...ng buhay."

"Si Ping /ang kinabukasan."

"Para sa 'yo...." Hell yeah, was that Manny Pacquiao? Nah, it's 'tol Mike Defensor with the reel one, Manny Pukyaw. And Keanna Reeves.

"Boom tarat tarat/boom tarat tarat/Zubiri, zubiri,/boom boom boom."

"Magsaysay/tara tara tara lets"




All these give me a headache!

I need COMPLETE recovery.


1. Sportsfest; Students Week
I looove the Power Redders! Grabe, my first two years in HS, parehong winner team ko sa Songs And Yells. Tapos kasam ako! Ahehe.
Altogether (Tokyo Drift):
We're here to let you know
We're the hot and sizzling red
When they see us they all shiver, they know they're no match for us
Power Redders...Go!Go!Go!
Power Redders...Go!Go!Go!

Still, it was TIRING, and could you believe that we were pulled out on the 2nd day because of a Blue Heights seminar??!! Sister Naomi was good, but I still couldn't resist make my mind fly, because outside, the Power Redders were cheering (kickball). We cheered during breaks anyway, and Sister let us off for awarding ceremonies. It was continued the next day.

Dont' ask about Students Week.

2. Variety
Very, very enjoyable.



But.



There.




Was.





No.










Performance.







From.













CHICOSCI!!!!!!!!!




They were already backstage.



But because of the punctuality thing. Sister Edna had such a bad timing. Okay, I completely understand. But why? What if they don't perform until I graduate???!!!!WWaaahhh.



4. Twilight: High School dance
It was fun. Except for foot-in-mouth disease. (Loooooooong story!)




*sigh*



tear-jerking video: Magbalik by Callalily

excerpt scene:


Girl: Mahal kita



Guy: Mas mahal ko Siya.

(Guy fixes collar, and puts that thingy priests wear/insert in their collars, and turns back.)



(Girl can't let go, hugs the guy and he looks sad. Duh.)




Aahh! Just go see the video. Ü

Brainy Kid
In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab.
You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you're a total success!



Slow and Steady
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.
They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.
It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.
They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.



The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.
In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.



You Should Learn Chinese
Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!


Your Personality Profile
You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant.Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle.You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs.
For you, comfort and calm are very important.You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection.You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.



Your Japanese Name Is...
Sumi Kujo



Your Eyes Should Be Brown
Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom
What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart


Your French Name is:
Thérèse Bombarde


Whew, that was tiring. And surprising. And to think those are only a few. Sigh. Anyway, that info about me GETTING SCARED OF MARRIAGE is SO NOT TRUE! Well, as of now, maybe. Maybe I might have a traumatic wedding-related experience later on that will make me scared of matrimony. I mean, what kind of girl doesn't want to walk down the aisle someday with someone you love (cheesy for now, but it's true)? A lesbian maybe??!!

Friday, January 19, 2007

Okay. It's been really tiring. It's 2007! I kind of didn't want to leave 2006 behind, yet I really looked forward to '07. Marami ring unpleasant things eh. Bwaha. Anyway, I just hoped for the best. I just hated that stupid Judas' belt. I loove the missile. Superb appearance and effect, and no defeaning sound at all.

Haven't watched Eragon yet? Go see it. Just a warning though: not for the types who hate predictable movies. That's all. But it was good, really.


Grr, bakit kasi activity ban pa! Pwede namang sa Monday na lang. Parang di pa ako nasanay. Wala lang, I just wanted to practice more. Go Power Redders! All together, Who's bringing sexy back? Sana lang naman may energy yung iba. Only the graduating people seem to get the fun (ha, yung mga nasa likod ko. I can't keep on laughing, hehe). The others are too serious. Or maybe, just shy or whatever. (Ehem, mga taga-Marma??!!)


Anyways, grabe ang kilabot kanina sa SS about women issues. Rarr! Kapal ng mukha ng mga lalaking nang-rape or nang-abuse physically, sexually and emotionally. Grr, sarap murahin, hindi lang talaga ako palamurang tao. Tapos yung Female Genital Mutilation. When I searched it in the Net around 3 days ago, parang nag-shake yung hands ko. Ugh, *shudder*!
