Before having my hair cut

After the haircut. :)

I miss my hair. Ha. I look better with longer hair, don't you think?. :)

Pwede ba? Pwede bang akin ka na lang? Kasi gusto talaga kita. Hindi ko alam kung anong dahilan kung bakit gusto kita pero gusto kita. Yung nakakabaliw na gusto. Batiin mo lang ako ng isang Hi o ngitian man lang gumuguho na ang mundo. Hindi ko nga alam kung anong isasagot mo sa mga matatamis mong pagbati. Para bang natutulala ako at nawawala sa sarili, bumibilis ang pagtibok ng puso ko at ang aking paghinga. Bakit kaya ganun ang epekto mo sa akin eh hindi naman kita talaga kilala? Bakit ako natotorpe? Argh. Nakakainis. Ayokong magkaganito. Di pwede kasi alam kong malabong maging tayo at malulungkot lang ako. Pakiramdam ko kasi may gusto ka ng iba eh at may iba ng nagmamay ari ng puso mo. Sana ako na lang yun. Sana talaga ako na lang yun.

Ang jologs ko. Ha. Pasensya kayo. Blog ko toh eh. :) Bear with me. I am seriously crushing on a certain someone. :) And we won this morning! Ha. We beat the IB soccer team by default. That means I didn't get to play - again. Drat. :)

1. Chem 40 - Ma'm Norie Ann Nolasco Pangalan pa lang parang terror na. Ha. They say she gives weird essay type exams. She talks to fast and she scares me. Heehee.

2. Chem 40.1 - Ma'm Reyna Lim She also talks too fast. I don't know if she gives 1's. I hope she does. No frustrating and tedious practical exams for this lab class. And my lab partner's Joshua - that's a very good thing.

3. Geog 1 - Ma'm Marqueza Reyes Erk. Seems like a demanding class. Matrabaho. Hay. I shouldn't have chosen this GE. Argh.

4. Geol 11 - Ma'm Dimalandra? Heehee. I thought her name was different. It's a very silly story and I don't want to mention it here where everyone can read it. Ha. She seems strict but I like her. Not boring. :)

5. MBB 110 Lab - Sir Virryan Banzon Ah.. Sir Vir's our CWTS instructor. Meticulous and strict at times. He is also nice. My labmates are June and Kathleen. We're also known as the bakla group. HAHA.

6. MBB 110 Lec - Ma'm Cynthia Hedreyda Hmm... I felt like our lectures weren't as formal as I expected them to be. But I think Ma'm Hedreyda's nice. Will enjoy her class.

7. Physics 71.1 - Ma'm Athena Paz Ma'm Paz was most of our blockmates' lab teacher last sem. She's very fashionable. Ha. :) I hope she lets us choose our own lab group. Heehee. Quizzes will be given regularly. Darn it.

8. Pilates - Sir Jonathan Cagas He required his classes to attend an aerobics marathon yesterday night at The Fort. Because I am such a nerd, I attended the said event and got lost going to and from the venue. Almost cried. Good thing we got home safely. :) I hope I get to lose weight. Heehee.

9. Stat 101 - Ma'm Clarissa Serina We didn't have a formal stat class during high school so hopefully I won't 'get lost' during class. Our instructor's giving a 0.25 incentive for perfect attendance. YEY. :) Got to see Michael again after a summer and two sems. Ha. He's one of my classmates. Weeh. Ben's friend, Sherry is also my classmate. :)

*** I still have CWTS classes every Wednesdays. Argh. Our workshops will be held two to three months from now and I seemed to have forgotten about it during the sembreak. More stress to come. In addition to my classes, I am going to join the org's carolfest. Ha. Will be singing Payapang Daigdig as well as Eye of the Tiger. With all these work, I hope that I'll still be able to lose the weight that I gained over the short vacation. Heehee.

I am The High Priestess The High Priestess poses a challenge to you to go deeper - to look beyond the obvious, surface situation to what is hidden and obscure. She also asks you to recall the vastness of your potential and to remember the unlimited possibilities you hold within yourself. The High Priestess can represent a time of waiting and allowing. It is not always necessary to act to achieve your goals. Sometimes they can be realized through a stillness that gives desire a chance to flower within the fullness of time.

You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless, without you, everything would just not work. People should definitely drink more of you every day. Which Biological Molecule Are You? brought to you by Quizilla

Ming and I went to SM to buy school stuff. Bought new slippers and I'm saving up for bag in Bayo. Everything in Bayo and in Kamiseta is overly priced. *sighs*

I saw him today. Ha. And he saw me. And he greeted me Good morning. *big grin* HAHAHA. :) I also saw Sir Fermin at the University. He about to enroll in a research course when I saw him towards the Faculty Center. Tumataba daw ako. ARGH. Need to lose weight... :)

Before swimming :)

After swimming (with Annel)

Before, during, and after the movie marathon

My ihaw-mates :)

After washing the dishes :)

I have been hibernating this past week and that means that I have been sleeping, eating, and watching tons of TV. Ha. Talk about being useless. Hehehe. The unfortunate thing about doing nothing is gaining weight. Grrr. I don't how much I've gained but I'm feeling the pounds. I'm feeling lotsa pounds. Ha. :) That's why for the nth time I will try to make changes. No more oreos before each exam day. Heehee. Try to run for at least 15 minutes everyday. Lessen the carbohydrate and sugar intake. And try to eat more fruits and veggies. :p It's going to be difficult. Discipline is the only answer. Hehe.

I've been to Tagaytay and Laguna this break. Hehe. My blockmates and I went to Laguna from the 24th of October until the 26th. Hmmm.. We went swimming and we had barbeque on Day 1. On Day 2, we had a pseudo-movie marathon as well as a pseudolunch. Hahaha. :) Gawd. We cooked our dinner, which took two hours. Ang hirap mag ihaw. :p After dinner, we continued our movie marathon until 6 AM. Day 3 meant that we were heading home but not before we saw Y Tu Mama Tambien. We had to skip some parts because it was getting late and we were supposed to be in Manila before 5 PM. But I have to say that the film was quite graphic if you know what I mean. Haha. It's not for the faint-hearted. :) Hehehehe. We arrived at Katipunan just before five (I really don't remember.) :p and we had dinner at Shakey's. Kailangan ko nang mag practice gumawa ng ice cream sundae galing sa ice cream bar ng Shakey's. Ang Greek-ish nung amin. :) After Laguna, my family and I went to Tagaytay on 28th until the 29th. We went bowling and we played badminton and pingpong and we went shopping at Market! Market! (Ang daming tao dun. Argh.) I kinda missed hanging out with the folks and the siblings. I think that we should play bowling regularly even though I kinda suck. Haha. Gutter baby! :) Heehee.
