Obligatory Hiatus!

These will be my companions for the next two, maybe three days. (笑)

Tomorrow being Maundy Thursday, followed by Good Friday and Black Saturday, I will not use the computer. (>_<) I think it's only right that I don't. So, I will not be online for the next two, maybe three days.

Have a blessed Holy Week, everyone. (^^)

My "junjou baby loves". XD

Monday was quite an entertaining day, too. (笑)

I had gone to ADMU to meet with Justin, intending to figure out what to do with the shrine that we had built for the KiraKira☆Matsuri. Since the Japanese Studies Department could not take it (they had no more space), we will have to dispose of it during the clean-up week set for orgs, to clear their org rooms of junk. Looks like that will be my duty for next week.

Well, since we had that cleared up, I went to meet Ochibi and Kin-chan, who'd gone to Cello's. As usual, when all three of us are around, Kin-chan gets herself into trouble with me, i pretend to ignore her, and in the end forgive her anyway. (笑)

Nikki also passed by all of a sudden. (笑) I hadn't expected to see her today, and it was a nice surprise. (^^) We also managed to contact EA--I was to face him in a Pokemon battle!!

Well, admittedly, he had the upper hand because I don't have enough battle experience. (笑) However, I did have my crowning moments of awesome!! Even if I only won once out of three different battles. ...And all this happened while Nikki tried to "rape-tickle" both of us. (>o<)

Still!!

I have discovered my hidden potential as a Pokemon trainer!! (笑)

My hidden skill will be a secret for now though. (笑) Fssshu! (笑)

I will conduct my research and face EA once more in battle!! And next time I will emerge victorious!! (笑)

頑張ります!!(笑)

Congratulations!!

Last night, my family and I went to Ochibi and Kin-chan's graduation dinner. Kin-chan just graduated from High School, and Ochibi from Miriam College, Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

I'm so proud of both of them. (>_<) That night we fangirled as usual about Tenimyu and its boys. (笑) They had to re-enact several scenes from movies and shows I hadn't seen yet, and it was hilarious. (笑)

I actually scrambled around for gifts for them. (笑) and like the sap that I am, gave them both little speeches before giving it to them. It's a special day for both of them, and both deserve special gifts.

I'm very sure I will still be seeing a lot of Kin-chan, since she will still be studying near me, and I will be sure to help her. I honestly want to watch and help her grow. (>_<)

Ochibi, I'm afraid, I may see less often of. But as long as one of them is there, the other will follow. So, I hope to stay in connection!!

CONGRATULATIONS, OCHIBI AND KIN-CHAN!!!

The both of you will always be my chibis. (^o^)/

Friday Madness!

Today, for the second time in my life, I meet Kae's sister, Rei! There she is, above Maita and I. Rei will be entering ADMU as a freshman this coming school year! I hope to be a good senpai. (笑)

She actually got to meet a lot of people today. I introduced her to EA, whom I've mentioned before as our band's guitarist (^^); Justin, who is an incoming 3rd year now and is leaving for Junior Term Abroad in the middle of the year (;o;); and of course, Nikki and Kip. In a sense she got to meet representatives of every year level. (^o^)

We shall take very good care of her! (^^)

I had a really fun day. Even if it consisted of mostly touring Rei around campus and being as awesome a tour guide as I could be. (笑)

A sad incident occurred after though: soon after Nikki and Kip left, they really landed into trouble. A motorcycle (with two people) ran past the both of them while they were trying to cross a side street. Kip was able to keep Nikki from getting run over, but the person on the back of the motorcycle reached out and SNATCHED Nikki's laptop out of her arms. Nikki called me some time after the incident--it was really shocking, since I was in Kae's car with her family (they were taking me home) and was already nearly at my front door.

So to whoever reads this entry: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE WALKING ON KATIPUNAN WITH YOUR BELONGINGS. This happened on that side street where KFC is located. Be extra careful, everyone!!!

Blue Roast!

Finally, a photo!
Well, Blue Roast (Which actually happened last night, March 24th, after my oral exams, actually)is the Seniors' send-off party, kind of like a last hurrah before they graduate. I got invited by some of my friends to bask in the craziness.

Well, the music was okay, and the performance by CADS (Company of Ateneo Dancers) was excellent--even if I didn't approve of the stripping. (笑)
I think, more than ever, I really feel for dance. I don't know how exactly this came about (maybe because of Masa, fine) but I've always loved watching performances, even ballet. I guess you never really appreciate opportunities except when they're gone. (>_<)

I had a great time with the Seniors, and I really will miss them when they graduate. I hope to still see them though!!

CONGRATULATIONS, BATCH 2010 (^o^)/

I DID IT.

Victory pose, outside the Humanities building!!
Totally ripped off Michael Jackson. (笑)

While Theology Oral Exams didn't go as well as I wanted them to (Fr. Dacanay was very intimidating), Philosophy Oral Exams were AWESOME!!! Dr. Garcia seemed quite pleased with what I had to say during the exam, and he even said "very good" when I finished. (^^)

And at long last, the school year has finally come to an end. (>_<)

My heart is heavy, and yet, light at the same time.

Please pray that I actually succeed in getting a good internship this summer!! I've been quite worried about it, to be frank. (^^;) And also, for some reason, I am still helping the Japanese club in ANI this summer! I hope I do well in both endeavors.

Before I enter the Oven..

..because Fr. Dacanay once called his office "The Oven"...

I must marinate myself in the knowledge of Theology before entering. (T_T)

頑張ります!

POKEMON SOULSILVER FTW!!

I have been waiting for this all week. (笑) I've taken the photo on the highest resolution my cellphone can offer, that you may all bask in its awesomeness. (笑)

I got it at Shangri-la this afternoon. Martin managed to get it at a small discount, on account of the carelessness of the store personnel regarding his reservation. (笑)

I started playing a little bit, and I probably will take more photos (using my cellphone camera, for lack of anything better) after Wednesday, since my last exam will be on that day.

All I can say is: IT'S SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME!!

It's really like the very first time I've played on a console--the first game I've ever played was Pokemon Silver on the GameBoy Color, and now, my first ever original game for the DS...Pokemon SOULSILVER!!

I'm so thrilled. (笑)

Still though! I have to lock it away. I need to get through my last two exams!!


I love this old man. He gives you so much stuff! And is so much more amusing this time around. (笑)

Oh and as a final post, I've got a new ring!

I love dragons. This is the first time I've come across such a ring, and so cheap too, for its detail--It cost only 109 pesos, and Maita was the one who bought it for me, too. (>_<) She snatched it out of my hand and took it to the counter and paid for it for me. (>o<)

Well, enough fangirling--it's time for me to study!!

Theology and Philosophy Oral Exams await!

頑張ります!

chocolate + depression = doesn't work.

I have been feeling a little down today...

It's a strange feeling to feel fear and depression literally pouring in from all sides, like a flood. (>_<)

I ate half a box of chocolate, but no effect (>_<) Where are the endorphins?!

...On a random note, Masa took a photo of himself and his newly trimmed hair, i think. He hadn't shaved his face yet, haha. Masa with a moustache is amusing. That brightened up my day somewhat. (^^)

Ooh, I asked my friend to send over the thesis statements I needed for oral exams with Fr. Dacanay.

She took the liberty of adding one last thesis statement to the list:

14. Father Dacanay contributes to his students’ mature understanding of marriage and human sexuality by not only explaining said topics through sacred scripture and the proclamations of the Magisterium, but also through other disciplines. Hence, he is the awesome. XD

SO TRUE. (笑)

Now to add to that mature understanding by studying.

頑張ります!

I love McDonald's. (笑)

A reward for getting through today. (笑) Sometimes, eating McDonald's makes me feel really good...fast food, hooray!

I feel rather stupid--I crammed a paper that was due this afternoon! (>_<)
In addition, my group in Events Management is cramming our final showbook. There is so much to do!!!
I still have to write that paper for Events Management..due on monday!!

There are only a few more days left in the school year and the tension is very high...(>_<)


Ah, here are the books I've managed to gather and hope to sell to a used-book store. 2 of them are actually still unopened! Plus there is a Lord of the Rings Box set, including The Hobbit. Lets hope I really can get some money for these. (笑)

This weekend will be a big, big hassle!! Studying for exams (笑)

頑張ります！！(笑)

Close to an end...

Last Tuesday, we had our very last Philosophy class. (>o<)
I had a photo taken with my teacher--I might forget to take one after my final exam, or I might not see him anymore! So there. (笑) Dr. Leovino Garcia, Ace Philosopher.

I'm very proud to have been his student.

I am afraid of taking a photo with Fr. Dacanay. (笑) Particularly if I flub my final exam. (>_<) But who knows? Maybe I will be lucky.

I also went out with Kae that Tuesday. (笑) We went to Timezone in Gateway, played Guitarfreaks/Percussionfreaks, and Dance Dance Revolution. It was quite a workout, actually!

We also hogged a karaoke booth. (笑) We finally found the number codes for Japanese songs! The book which contained the number codes didn't include Japanese songs, but we basically went through nearly 300 combinations looking for titles we knew. (笑)

We found 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou!! (^o^)/ among other songs.

We had to stop after a while though. Next time, we will look for more!!

----------
Today though, I had to start studying for my Philosophy and Theology exams, which will take place next week.

There was a used book sale on campus though--I actually found a nice hardbound book by Agatha Christie; 5 complete novels featuring Poirot! I had to get it. (笑)

I still realize though, that there are too many unread books that are lying around the house. I gathered them all together; maybe I can find the used book shop and sell them there. I gathered 26 books! (笑)

I hope to sell them soon. (>_<)

Also--there will apparently be a raindance tomorrow, organized by this crazy guy we know. (笑) I hope to see it!!!

RECESS!!

Last night was our last event for our Events Management class. "RECESS!!" was supposed to be a party themed around "reliving the best of high school". Not that I personally wanted to...my high school had a lot of drama.(笑) And Ochibi came to the event! She really helped out. (^o^)/ and she was going to sleep over at my house later that evening.

Erm...this is just me being brutally, painfully honest...but I *did* expect the bands to play songs that were popular in our high school days. I didn't hear any, except for the acoustic performances where Raizza and Nika sang, and Didi too...(>_<)
Although I admit the bands were quite talented (props to Skinny Jeans Kaboom and Death&Strawberry), I wish they had kept the self-promotion of their original songs to a minimum...though I suppose it's only fair. Still, I wanted to hear old high school hits.

In any case, after the bands had finished performing, the floor was open for dancing~

Not that many people danced. (>_<) But Sir Sev danced around with us! Ochibi was the source of our energy, really.(笑)We need to dance more often!

On a random note, it took a while before the name Death&Strawberry clicked in my head. It turns out that several of the band members were into BLEACH! Their band's name was actually taken from the first chapter of the manga.(笑) I was like, "It all makes sense now!!"

In any case, it was still a fun night. I never thought that dancing around like that (even if i wasn't that good) could be so much fun.


Ochibi and I came home and freshened up, brushing our teeth before going to bed. We felt like Aiba.(笑)
It really was very tiring! I'm not particularly sure what happened between the end of the party and us going to sleep at 4am. I remember nearly falling asleep with my glasses on, and Ochibi's cellphone alarm going off at around 5am.

We fangirled for a while earlier this afternoon. It really was a weekend well-spent. Till next time, Ochibi!!

Th131 and Preparations

We had our Theology 131 long exam today...I took the written exam instead of the orals because I wanted to compare for myself how much more difficult either exam was. (>_<)
I think in the end, I prefer oral exams.(笑) Even if Fr. Dacanay is intimidating.
It was held from 6:00-8:00 in the evening, so naturally i came home rather late. (笑) And my mom wasn't able to receive my text right away so i got fetched almost an hour after it had finished. (笑)

We also tried to set up the things for our event tomorrow, "RECESS!" Before my exam, I was up on our venue, Burgundy Place Penthouse.
My only issue about it was the smell of the staircase--there was a garbage disposal there. Whew!
Well, Aimee and I went out to KFC to get some food and we tried out KFC's new product, Chewy Cheese!

It was pretty good.(笑)I think I will try to get some again next week!

Watch out for the happenings in my next post!

Alice in Wonderland!

We watched Alice in Wonderland earlier! OPENING NIGHT~ ♪
It was a really good movie, haha. Johnny Depp is awesome, just awesome! The entire movie gives Wonderland a whole new dimension, and Alice a whole new dimension too. (^^)

I LOVE THE MAD HATTER!!! And the Cheshire cat, too!!


Haha, a photo taken before leaving school to watch Alice in Wonderland. I lay down on the low wall surrounding the library's fountain. It's a very cozy place to nap, if you're up for it. The stone is warm from the sun, but the area is vary shaded thanks to the large building. Also, the water from the fountain makes everything cool.

I think it's a great spot. (>_<)

My feet hurt. (笑)

A glass of orange soda to conclude the day. (^^)

Samurai Wars was actually a lot more entertaining than the past two days--we actually had fun whacking each other silly! (笑) Kin-chan made a visit again, and we did battle!

My feet hurt now, though, and I can't imagine why...

And oh--even though we couldn't hold a culminating concert tomorrow, EA brought his acoustic guitar today and played random songs in the Zen Garden! He even played a Pokemon battle theme! (笑)

In a sense, a mini-concert did happen--EA played the guitar while I sang. (笑)

I still don't have much confidence in my singing skills--I know I'm off-key even though my tune is acceptable. (>_<)

Today, I think, was a day very well spent. Samurai Wars will have to make a comeback next year.

I'm excited for tomorrow~ We're going to watch Alice in Wonderland!! (笑)

Sleepy...

Masa's new album is out today~ ♪
----------
I just got out of the shower~ it really is refreshing...

So far, today was a slightly better day in terms of preparation~
The "Conquer Japan!" Game that Gem and Justin organized really was good! I hope to incorporate the mechanics in the year to come~ (笑)

Kin-chan also visited today!

Tomorrow, we do Samurai Wars~! (笑)

I can't wait to see the armor tomorrow and see if we can fight in them~ (笑)

頑張ります(笑)

"Ore wa Artist~" (笑)

It was the first day for our KiraKira☆Matsuri~
Things were mostly disastrous in many senses, but. We tried our best to have fun...
I felt sad though, because we learned that we could not get the venue for Friday's culminating event! We had to break the news to EA and his band today. It was more than a little embarrassing considering they'd been practicing that week...
However, since they couldn't cancel their reservation at the studio that afternoon, it turned into more of a little party in the studio. Of course, I went and sang along with them, for their last practice...

It was really fun~ ♪ Haha. I know I don't exactly have a really good voice, but singing songs and generally feeling like a rock star was more than enough for me.

On a brighter side, I got to wear my costume! And Ochibi came over to visit. She took this photo of me:

Yes, I look silly. (笑)

It was a fun day overall,even if things didn't go as perfectly as we'd planned.


Things need to be better tomorrow...
頑張ります！
