Tamaya! Hahaha… My first time in Mall of Asia was for Pyro Olympics! I’m so glad that we made it eventhough the ticket booth ran out of tickets. It almost had a stampede because there are many people waiting in the line just to buy the tickets but it ran out before the event starts. The crowd control just took 5 seconds to be break down…And there! The people who were waiting to buy the tickets just past through the barricades without buying any tickets at all.[We Belong ] It wasn’t our fault because they lack the tickets. It is held every year so they must have thought the estimated number of the people. Good thing the policemen didn’t thought we were suspicious . We found a good spot for capturing the fireworks along the embankment of Manila Bay.

The fireworks were really great although the Manila Bay stinks…

My brother took a lot of pictures. You are welcomed to see them! So just asks me if you want to see some! There would be fireworks display again next week but I have an orientation in my college -_- . My brother and I would be coming for the last week of May. It was a shame because it will be Canada that will display their display for next week. By the way, this week was China and Germany. [Hahaha... just search Pyro Olympics in Google and you'll b able to pick up some information and schedule of the countries participating in the said event]. I hope there wouldn’t be any conflict in my schedule…

Japanese fireworks displays trace their origins to the early 1600s, in the Edo period(1603-1867), when shooting off fireworks along the banks of the Sumida River became a popular summer event. Commercial makers such as Kagiya and Tamaya in Tokyo were especially famous for their fireworks, and it was a common practice to shout “Kagiya” or “Tamaya” with each firework burst. You can still hear this kind of shouting in the crowds today.

>> Just a little information <<

This past 3 days, I, together my parents, went to Quezon Province to visit the wake of my cousin[which we thought my auntie]. I felt very lazy back there because there is no internet… I have done nothing but sit, wait or watch the babies crying… The only productive thing I have done was reading a book[Great Expectations by Charles Dickens]… I have finished the bridged version but I’m curious of the difference from the original one. It is really boring but I made it in page 82 T_T. One page is full of texts which I think has a font size of 8 and font style of Times New Roman. It is really boring that I only remained at the sofa the whole day. I only stand up during breakfast, lunch and dinner… I am happy though to see again my cousin who have been long separated to us. My father is the only one living in NCR out of the six siblings so encounter with them is very occasional.

There is no Animax but just HERO in their CATV so I was really bored…

While having a nap in the sofa, I had a dream about my 4th year days… I had this Hey Mickey playing in my mind while I was dreaming. When I woke up suddenly, Hey Mickey really is playing from the radio T_T… Isn’t it weird? Is it just a coincidence or it really happens??? Huhuhu… So am I still haunted by my high school days? I was really bugged by that Hey Mickey song that after I dreamed of it, I tried to recall how the BEAT goes…

After the funeral[Monday], we had a free ride from my other auntie … They had many stop-overs that It took us 8 hours just to go home[which is usually just 5 hours from Quezon Province to Muntinlupa]. We also took 2 stop-overs because of engine overheat XD… How lame…

Now I miss the first day of Code Geass R2 ep. 4 release …hmpf…

I’m really bored everyday because there are no decent games in this PC(except Pinball,Solitaire,Minesweeper, and Hearts -_-). Because of some browsing, I became fond of Anime Blogs these days. I’m an anime fan as well so I can relate to those of their entries. I felt kind of envy because most of them are Japanese and they can watch the animes with ease and obtain as well the raws with ease. They are always updated with the recent events and released animes.
I seldom encounter some hardcore fans that even collect action figures of their favorite character from the series. Even though I’m an addict like them in watching… I don’t resort to those kind of hobbies because it COSTS. Given the chances, I’ll still prefer not to because there is no place for them in the house! My mother might spill some oil and incinerate them into ashes -_-.

Because of so much reading, I was able to ascertain few terms that Otakus use… Some of them are tsundere, yandere, tsukkomi and of course… Moe… I enjoyed some of the entries because deep within me, I also thought of some things while watching anime but disregarded them since normal citizens would never understand someone who is a denizen of the anime world.

I also saw a thread in crunchyroll .com about anime being childish… Haha… I simply believe that it is not and I strongly believe that it is for all ages… Of course not the ecchi ones… XD… Bloody and violent animes can be for children too! It’s with the parental guidance and the discipline of the children… Having them watch such anime would never affect their personality considering their parents have taught them the right manners… darou? I’m very irritated when there are some news in the TV that says anime is one of the reasons why children these days are different… I think it’s with the intimacy with the parents. I have already watched many animes concerning wars/battles but I haven’t changed into something like a delinquent. [Go Konata!]

—–

I also saw someone’s blog that has the same theme as mine!!! XD I felt annoyed because of it. Now I’m planning to change it into something personalized ^^. I will have my brother’s help this time… I won’t still change the Blog name because I think it’s pretty much connected to my all time favorite anime[guess what]. I might change this site into an Anime Blog since I don’t have something to do! College is approaching so I will still manage to post some daily routines though not that frequent!… I’m excited to post about anime now… [Gotta change my theme first! XD]

It’s graduation day…!I was looking forward to this day since this day would be the day our hard works would be paid-off! Though I’m not excited in going to college… I want to leave MunSci at that time quickly because as the ties gets longer, the harder to say goodbye. I’m glad that my brother let me borrow his camera to shoot many photos of my beloved friends. I’m awfully late when I arrived but good thing our section is at the middle.

I was planning to take pictures with all of my classmates but they all vanished after the program! aw… because the graduation ball will be held next in the sports complex, we, together with some of my friends decided to just wait for the time and spend it doing pictorials! haha I was very glad because I had the chance to take pictures of my friends. Since we are all having different paths, why not treasure the moments right? I hate it when Ana’s father decided to rent me as the photographer and capture the rewarding moment [I'm an absolute beginner you see..!]

I don’t think I will come again to school pretty soon.[I think I have 1 reason, that is to retrieve my power supply from Sir Alfaro] Kudos to all MunSci alumnae/i , batches and classes. Phew… I felt relieved when I finished high school. I’ll be cherishing the memories guys and gals… Hahaha Good luck and God Bless to batch 2008! May our high school experiences serve as a lesson to us in college.

Argh, I don’t reaaally want to talk about this so please just look for the pictures in my Multiply account link at the sidebar named ai-ban. I would be glad If you would take a glimpse of what happened during that day… Or maybe even spot yourself [haha in case you are 4th year batch 2008 of MunSci]…

You see, it’s very troublesome these days. The first thing to crash was this Laptop I’m using to write this entry. Good thing it crashed the day before the main computer crashed. Since this Laptop crashed that day, I was banned to use the computers and was rotting just watching Animax with the recasts of Galaxy Angel, Magikano, and .hack//Roots XD . The animes justs repeats the episode for some recasts… XD . It was very boring that I decided to play the endless Tekken XD … I was bored and tried Street Fighters and bored again… then tried King of Fighters… and Soul Calibur… and shut the PS2 down…

I decided to install RF Online to the main computer since I’m already sicked of Ragnarok… Well, I’ve been a pioneer of Novus as well so I also miss playing as Cora… [woohoo! ~ Purge the Infidels!~] I was very surprised when the installer should be downloaded within 6 hours to finish so I decided to do it tomorrow since my brother had an overnight swimming… Yes… At last I made it and was able to install it… I was uber happy when I found out that my old account is STILL ALIVE! I’ve got pretty disenas and talics so I’m very happy… XD .

After some weeks I guess… The main pc crashed again >:) and my brother found out that it was the hard disk after all. [I was right at the beginning! my RF doesn't have anything to do with the crash!!!] I guess the Laptop and the main pc have been successfully repaired[though the Laptop is still rotten due to its slooooow loading speed XD]. I’m looking forward in continuing my business in watching animes because it was drastically stopped due to the problems. I was stuck at home just watching Animax day and night although I know that what I’m watching is just a repeat telecast… tsk…

And yes… It’s been a long time before I had written some entries again because of this…

Haha, this was the only chance I had to write about what I have experienced during the Retreat. It is all because of this rotting PC. I just installed RF Online when it messed up and ended up being booted by my brother XD. Anyway, this is what happened…

It was very exciting since I didn’t attended the last year field trip so I was worked up to arrive early enough to school. I didn’t know that we must write retreat letters to our friends. Actually, I read the letters before this line. I actually plan to read them while I’m making this entry. Thanks to all people that gave me letters. So far, I haven’t been given by someone I never made one(Haha, alam ko naman na yung iba wala nang masabi!). I made the letters during the retreat itself and luckily, I was able to finished it. Enough words to lighten up their minds and brighten up their days. I hope I didn’t hurt their feelings with some of the words I include in the letters to somehow sum up how I describe them as someone whom they shared their time with.

I was asleep the whole time we were traveling from both routes since I hate bus rides. I hate the scent of the bus and it makes me dizzy. I also folded some crane oregami while the ride which triggered my dizziness. I was thankful to have Chezka beside me because she acted as my pillow .

The main facility of the Carmelite is high-class as they say (of course, it should be… since it cost us that much). I had JP and Buqs as my roommates.

The session with the monk(dunno his name since he didn’t told us) was very heartfelt… I was very moved by what he said about things. One thing for sure… I didn’t felt the guilt during the sermon about our parent’s sacrifices to us because I think I do things how they raised me as their child. Though I sometimes failed their expectations , I try to do it rightly next time. I think my classmates think me of something they called as a “rock” since I didn’t shed a tear but I’m the kind of person who’ll do all for the sake of my parents.

Haha, It must be a bit funny but I think I have resolved myself already before the retreat happened.

The retreat is very tiring, I thought Im going to experience “impatso” because after eating, we must return again to the conference hall without even having a short walk.

~ I pledged that day… ~

[a must...]

It might be very soon before us seniors realize that the day we must left for college is drawing near. I don’t know how I should handle things from now on. Certainly back then, I was wishing not to study here but now I’m starting to get sad now I won’t be able to go to it now and then. I can’t imagine how things will turn out the day we will start to set our paths… Just thinking of it makes me want to sob… Reminiscing the days makes me want to go back and start again my high school without regrets.

I have finished watching Lucky Star. The ending can be compared to my situation since they are also graduating class. I envy the characters because they were able to do something together with their friends that is very memorable. To think I am an introvert person and doesn’t go with my classmates whenever there are “mall trips”.

I don’t know if I want to end my ties with them quickly or I would rather make some memories with them together. High school really is the happiest moment in school but it is also the saddest… Still, I want to cherish the times my friends and I have spent together. I will keep them and never forget…

Just wanna share a good song~

Kansha (Gratitude)

English translation:

I spend all my days here the same way,
chilling out, relaxed and unconcerned.
There are so many things to do,
a lot of them impossible for me.
It’s totally overwhelming,
but I’m always ready to do what I can
because everyone here has a smile on their face.
I may not say it very often,
but I really am grateful for my family and friends.
The time we spend together is so special,
I could never replace any of them.
We’ve got this moment, we’ve got each other
stopping, standing and laughing together.
I’m so thankful, I could cry.
This feeling is so wonderful,
it makes today seem like a wild dream.
I promise you, I’ll never forget it, my precious ones,
who laugh with me, support me,
and keep me going.

I’ll miss everyone

I don’t have any pictures to share since it is still at the camera.

I wasn’t able to dance during my first Prom because we just decided to sit around, eat and listen to the music. This time, I really made the best out of the night. After all, it’s our last Promenade. I think I was able to dance 16 I was very irritated during party time. My arms also aches because its hanging for a long time.

All pictures that was taken during the lights were off have my eyes shut.The camera’s flash is very bright. I can’t help it. I’ll just ask for the pictures where I have my eyes opened.

The food was so-so [for me]. My classmates says it was awful than that of last year but I really can’t distinguish x_X. The soup looks like a diluted CheezWhiz. I missed the broccoli and the cauliflower from last year. The mashed potato doesn’t have any taste. I just ate it. I love the presentation of the food. Still, the one that matters is the taste. I think I liked the cake.

Charmaine – Phoebe – Chezka – Angela – Dhona – Krizia – Lovely – Jhen – Balsy – Mich – Toin – Ana – Athina – Jessah – Janice – Joyce

Aw… I don’t think the time was enough. I didn’t have the chance to dance with the Fermi people.

Feb. 08, 2008 -What a memorable day.

I wish it would be repeated again someday. I was kind of speechless during the dance because I can’t think of any topics.

My longest dance was with Lovely and Aira. I remember we had two tracks.

I didn’t receive any souvenir. I don’t know why. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if I have to receive a keychain with Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora with it x_X.

Before this month ends, I think I will sum up all the results of my entrance exams. I passed DLSU and UST. I don’t know if I really flunked the UPCAT. Either way, I might not consider the reconsideration thing. I don’t have any course that I like to take in UPLB. The best school that offers the best course for me is DLSU. I think UST might prove as a good choice as well but my course in DLSU is a “hybrid” Accountancy unlike Accountancy alone which I chose in UST. My parents kept on reprimanding me about it. I worry about the expenses so I’m searching for those who offers scholarships. Still, even if I can’t find one. I’ll try my best to increase my grades so I’ll be able to transfer to UP[If possible].

I don’t feel any regrets about the UPCAT results. I just keep on saying to myself that the checkers were the ones who are wrong. They don’t know how to weigh scores. Who are they for us to push ourselves? There are lots of universities out there that could utilize our ability better than they could. Maybe God had already allotted what is for us!

Henceforth, It’s DLSU!

Wah, I hate flashbacks! I don’t have the time to open this site again. I don’t know but I think I’m very stressed this month. Still, I’m trying to enjoy and ride the fun.

Math Day is very awesome. We didn’t have to do some rush banderitas just like what the other sections did.

While pondering along the 2nd building, I noticed the banderitas of the 3rd year students. I don’t know if they weren’t able to witnessed what happened to the Edison’s [2005-2006] banderitas. It fell and lost its grip due to its massive weight compared to other banderitas. Unfortunately,theirs as well fell.

The favorite theme as always is recycled even though we are forced to buy some designs and some garlands to enrich the aestheticality of the banderitas even if its so called “recycled”.

The texting contest was very disappointing. I was one of the contestants among the representatives of the Rediquit team. The questions are whole lot easy[well not all I guess], If only the cellphone has a reliable signal then our message would be sent first. We were always the first one to text the answer but the other teams’ answers always arrive earlier -_-. I was actually just been picked in randomness and was sent there immediately in need of representative -_-. Because of that, I weren’t there when the Red team was announced to be the winner in the cheer.[Yet I practiced the beat!]

The baggage counter was very full of bags. I even lost my accession number! Good thing the watchers were my classmates and they just considered it since I really paid for the slot. I also remember my number. There were many students who just left their stuffs without paying in the baggage counter. I don’t know why Manuleth is there as well. I think he is there just to play with the PSP.

We are very excited and dizzy because of the upcoming Dance Revo that afternoon so I hurried up and finished up my lunch. The Song Revo group had a dilemma. That is we don’t have the coins… Haha, That time… I don’t know but deep in my heart, I felt disdain to Balsy. She doesn’t even care to us. I thought they will share some to Song Revo. Still, they dropped all their coins without even handing some to us. I was saying to myself that we will not surely get any place. Lucky for those who belongs to the Dance Revo. I felt good when they landed as 4th place. Hahaha, I’m bad… Hahaha. Well, for us , the Song Revo, got 3rd place unexpectedly. We really don’t expect any places. Here my classmates saying to Karla, “Sinabihan mo pa kaming panget boses namin…” Hahaha. It was a fun thought. For the Dance Revo? I don’t really care what place they’ll get. I see those sad faces while trying to think of what happened back then that resulted to the situation. Hahaha, I was laughing inside my mind. Sorry for my friends who are part of the Dance Revo. I just can’t help it…

It was Locsie’s birthday and I was invited to eat some spaghetti but I was really full that time. I’m afraid I might burp during the presentation so I didn’t risk and just had some Orange juice.

Plusssssssssss five sa caaarddd! [oh yeah~]

– The Camp itself –

The Song Revo had some long intermissions having the bands play. There was a large population of party people who jumped up at the stage during the intermissions. Haha, I bet they’ll sleep a little more comfy tonight.

The fireworks display is AWESOME! I haven’t able to see such display in a very near distance…[Tamaya!!] I felt overwhelmed when they launched the shining among all. It was a very fine display. I wish they have done that since the 1st Math Camp. The noise is just annoying because the Sports Center has these giant glass walls. It was really well prepared because they even have this puny ambulance.

There was also this role play before the bonfire was lit. The unveiling of the bonfire simply means it’s the slumber time. I dozed off quickly and slept from 12 til 2am. I woke up for a bit til 4 and slept again. I played the PSP for a short time. It was a very silent night compared to other camps. Almost all slept tight.

– about 7 in the morning –

It was raining. There were no activities because of the rain. Some indoor activities were held such as the Newspaper Stool and the Egg Cage. I don’t know if there is any for Pauli in Egg Cage. There is for the Newspaper Stool because I’m one of the forced people to join because I’m doing nothing and it’s very boring playing Tekken, Tekken, and Tekken x_X.

They allowed dismissal about 12 and I get going! It was a fun experience.

***Please don’t take my inner thoughts as something very serious***

*** I don’t hold any grudges against Balsy

Later na yung iba, basta may entry for this month..hehe
