Two months in a nutshell
Finals are finally over and the much-awaited semestral break has begun!
As people have been telling me for a few weeks now, I need to update my blog.
So here goes =)
- Cel's 18th birthday was fun. She looked absolutely gorgeous in an outfit her dad bought for her. And she was in make-up. A lot of my blockmates showed up, so we were split into two tables. The food was the usual traditional Chinese dishes, but good nonetheless. There was this dessert that I particularly liked, though. Some kind of cake. But overall, I enjoyed the company. One of my blockmates even mistook Cel's sister for her, and gave her Cel's gift. Lol. Anyway. There was a party right next to Cel's and it was really sweet. Some old people celebrating their anniversary, I think. We watched them as we were leaving.
- I joined the Freshman Math Intersection Challenge and I qualified for semi-finals along with two others to represent our class. Our very beloved teacher gave us a plus twenty for that. He's really awesome, isn't he? Anyway, we ended up in fifth place, but at least we tried. The time was too short, too, otherwise I'm sure we would've gotten a higher overall score. Besides, we were competing against Math 18-A students, even though a friend of mine *ehrm, Awi* insists it was his pure genius that got them in fourth place.
- I thankfully got an A in my math midterms, which I didn't expect. After all our math tests were averaged, I got exempted from the finals =) I cannot even describe the happiness I felt upon hearing that. God, I love math. Haha.
- Our Filipino teacher sweetly required us to attend the Filipino parade. Actually, we were made to station all along the roads and hold candles to light the parade's way. Although my feet were excruiciatingly painful after standing so long in one place, I did enjoy seeing people I know dressed up in funny costumes =)
- My advisory marks weren't that bad. I got an A in Math, B+ in both English and Literature, B in Filipino. I certainly hope I changed those marks. To higher ones, of course. Haha. A groupmate of mine said our overall grade in Physics (lab) was A, although we have yet to see what our teacher's going to give us. Grades come out on November 4, I think. Oh, and I passed P.E. =)
- Ralph came for a visit during his summer break. On his last day we went to Shangri-La mall with our other crazy friends- Ja, By, Jon, Awi, Jensen, and Coy. The movie we watched was hilarious. Adam Sandler starred in The Longest Yard, doing the movie quite a lot of good, in my opinion. We also went to record our own CD at some little booth. It was fun! I would say that day was one of the best in my life. I miss my high school friends.
- We went on an exposure trip to a public school called Ilugin for INTACT. Rode a jeep, watched Beauty in the Beast with the kids in their surprisingly air-conditioned and throughly furnished viewing room. It wasn't a really awesome trip, but it wasn't bad, either.
- I got a Compaq laptop from my uncle. Ah, the joy. Of course, I immediately downloaded upgrades and installed some games and filled it with pictures and personalized it. I was quite excited. It's big, though, so I don't really like lugging it around. But it makes for a nice permanent display on my desk, lol.
- Rizza's and Jon's birthdays were both really great. I always look forward to birthday parties. For Rizza's we ate at Gerry's Grill, and for Jon's we ate at Marina. I loved the sisig =) We talked and updated each other on our lives, took lots of pictures, and just took pleasure in being reunited with each other again. Jensen told me he made the Dean's List over at La Salle. I'm so proud of him. Haha.
- I tasted the most delicious things in Bizu. Macaroons. A lot of people say they're too sweet, but you can always have a glass of water beside you.
- The hell weeks in Ateneo were really......hell. I had countless papers to submit, a number of long tests to study for, and projects and reports to complete. I only had one finals test though, for Literature. Gladly, I managed to survive those weeks, and am justly rewarded with a month long sembreak!
- My dog was taken to the vet for the heartworm treatment. He's back home now, and recovering. I am immensely thankful and continue to pray that all goes well. I adore my dog, after all. He's the sweetest thing in the world.
- My English food review groupmates and I went to eat at Mr. Choi's Kitchen, which, incidentally, is owned by Ady's aunt. It was a good restaurant, although the staff refused to have their pictures taken for our project. I have no idea why.
And these are the very much incomplete happenings in my two months. I must go enjoy my lazy afternoon now, so ciao.
Oh and btw, the Amazing Race: Family Edition has been going on for a few weeks now. And I've fallen in love with another TV show, Life As We Know It, on Studio 23.
