REVIEW // LSC // KATIPUNAN

Having been through the whole thing, I can safely say it's not pure fun and games. Just because of this one incident which I'm trying so hard to mend back for a while now. *sigh* I don't want another emo, semi-senti blog entry so, moving on...

I've probably skipped class more than 6 times all together. I'm sorry Mom and Dad because that basically says I'm wasting your money. Before you start giving me sermons and calling me a hookie punk though I know I deserve 'em, listen to my part. I really TRY to listen to the whole academic stuff the teacher's blabbing about. It's just that I get bored easily. And 2 hours of pure discussion totally puts the ooze in snooze. HAHAHA. Brain fart :))

Whether invading Katipunan or watching a flick in Gateway, cutting will always be enjoyable when I'm with my friends. My number 1 cutting mate is Joan. Krizzia comes second. Kudos to Avery for not cutting. Even ONCE.

The best part of the whole review shindig would probably be, hands down, meeting new friends. From my classmates, to Room 2 people, and Blueskies people. It's fun mingling with a whole variety of people. Really makes me feel that there's world outside STC since socializing isn't really our forte. Hoorah! And mind you, I'm becoming a frequent rider of public transportations. My parents would freak if they knew though. :))

Hey de hey. Automatic Loveletter totally saved me from my then 'emo playlist'. They're slowly creeping on top of my top list. I love Juliet Simms. I actually prefer her more than Hayley Williams. Check out some of my favorite songs by them! [Makeup Smeared Eyes, When We First Met, Goodbye Neverlend and Unhearted.]

"Hi! I'm Min! You are??"

This morning at review, I don't know what air Avery and Gines had that caused them doing nothing but to dare me. It started out me, whining about how I wanted to make friends in our class just because I don't want to spend 2 more weeks of being in a class full-o strangers.

"Sige nga Min! Pakilala ka sa buong class!"

I rarely back out on dares. No matter how stupid I will look. Hey, I can only live once. Haha! In short, I did the stupid dare. The Marikina Science people, I approached first since they were mostly girls. I muttered my line with this huge smile on my face and I must say, they retaliated pretty good! They laughed with me and introduced themselves too. And it just went on, everyone that entered, I will welcome them with my ever-so-hyper- greeting. WITH- matching handshake. Everyone's laughing now. I couldn't care more. I, myself, am laughing at myself. HAHA! The teacher noticed it and laughed too, and said "Ano yan? Tumatakbo ka ba for President??"

I therefore conclude that I am no longer the-noisy-little-annoying-review-cutting-girl in class. I have friends now. Namely, Arriane, Alec, Paolo, Darwin, Ken, Gerard, Amy, Aric, Kim, Chesca...

I give myself a pat in the back for that. Nice job, Min!

Sorry blogs readers. Lately, I have been preoccupied with a handful of things. But the main time eater is, hands down, Review. No, not summer review like the ones that the failing students get. Haha! Ours is for the upcoming College Entrance Exams for us Seniors. And I'm doing it in Ateneo. Commuting's the only thing I whine about.

Anyhoo, let's shift topic.

May. The time of the year where it starts to rain. The last leg of summer, enrollment time, and of course, my birthday. There's not much difference than last year's though. Except my parents are making a big deal out of it because in their words, "Our bunso's turning Sweet Sixteen!" I, swear to the heaven's above, can't find the essence and importance of a girl turning sixteen. If I was turning 18, then I'd understand them. But sixteen? Geeeeeeeeez.

Since Mom's out of the country, and I know she's feeling bad about not being here to celebrate it with me, she's making it up by consistently asking me what I want to do on my 'special day'. And everytime she asks me, I have said this to her a million times:

"I don't know. Why can't I just do it like every year? Just stay here in the house?"

AND THEN she'll start preaching about how I'm turning SIXTEEN. Mom, I am aware I will be turning sixteen. Thanks for the added info.

So from then on, I will answer her:

"What do YOU want to do?"

AGAIN and again, she'll suggest to have a party in our house just like Ate did when she turned sixteen. Beers and all. As tempting as it is, I objected. I'm just not feeling it. Screw it. Haha. So to shut them all up, I agreed to go out with my friends on Saturday and then celebrate with my relatives the next day. I was seriously getting fed up with them until Mom sent me a text:

"I sent you thru email yesterday a song of Hillary Duff entitled 'Sweet Sixteen' Let me know when you have received it. I love you mucho mucho." -Mom

As much as the sound of 'Hillary Duff' hurts my ears, it put a smile on my face to know that Mom's really making an effort in making my 'Sweet Sixteen' a blast.

"My beautiful friends! :) Sinong walang gagawin bukas? Samahan niyo ako masaya gagawin natin!" -KarlaPot

"Anong gagawin Pot?" -Min

"Magbebenta tayo ng tinapay. Hahaha!" -KarlaPot

"Asa. Seryoso? Saan?" -Min

"Seryoso nga. Sa Green Meadows. Sumama ka na. Kailangan ng magaling mag English eh. Tara na!" -KarlPot

"Hahaha! Sige ba :)" -Min

Ganyan ako kadali kausap. Hahaha. The next day, Pot texted me that she will pick me up from my house. I kept texting people, especially Gines to go with us. Eh since Gines' first attempt to ask for permission to go out failed, she had to perform drastic measure, which is to LIE. She told Tito that we'll just be in Timog when in fact, we're gonna be in the far away land of Green Meadows. Haha. Sinungaling ka talaga :))

Anyway, Karla picked us up together with his bro and Kuya Ben. Gines broke her camera pala. The LCD is effed up. Haha. Stopped by at Valle Verde 6 to get the pastries. Arrived at Green Meadows and we found out that it was a Weekend Bazaar just by this church there. We had this spot just beside this food stall 'Mr.Cuapao' After fixing our place, the adults left us in charge. Surprisingly, there were no people or should I say, customers in sight. So of course, we just kept fooling around and made friends with Ate Roxanne, the mighty vendor of the most wanted Mr.Cuapao.

All day, Me and Karla were consistent in joining forces against Gines.We don't know why we do but it gives us inner happiness. Haha.

Gines: Bakit kaya Mr.Cuapao pangalan nito?

Min: Kasi Cua is Chinese for bacon. Tapos Pao yung bread.

Gines: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Pot: Epal mo. UTO UTO ka talaga.

Pot and Min: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!

But then, this man who was just a foot away from our stall started heading for our direction with this smile on his face. We thought he was so craving for our pastries until she talked to Karla about Kuya Ben and what our relation is to him. Until he got curious and interested at the same time that we, kids are working.

Michael: Where do you girls study?

*Me and Karla looks at each other. Kasi naman noh. Alam na naming yung sasagot pag sinabi naming STC: “Where’s that?” But for the sake of courtesy, I answered his question*

Min: St.Theresa’s College

Michael: Ohhh! I know that. That’s in Manila right?

Karla: Yeah.

Min: *nods*

Michael: Your uniform is a white blouse with blue bow right? (Kamusta naman ang bow diba? Haha.)

Min: YES! Ohmy. You know our school??

Michael: Yes of course. I’m from La Salle Greenhills so I know STC. I also know Poveda, St.Scho, St.Paul, I also know. You almost have the same uniform as St.Scho actually. But your skirts are way bigger. In St.Scho, their skirts are short.

Min: Well, that’s how we are. We’re conservative. Hahaha.

Michael: Yes, STC is conservative. Nice, nice.. So you girls have fun ok? If you need anything don’t hesitate to talk to me.

Min: We will. Thanks!

He knows STC for god's sake. I wanna marry him. Hahahaha! So there, kinilig kami ni Pot kasi he's this old man na gwapo padin. Like Edu Manzano for example. He was thing conyo man pa. Woo. Lovesit. PERO- na badshot agad si Fafa Michael.

Michael: *insert conyo accent here* We're lacking chairs. Get some more chairs. Magpatulong ka with the other guys. Pag anditow lang akow tsaka kayow gumagalaw.

Karla&Min: *supressed laughter*

Worker: Ilan po Sir?

Michael: Uhm, we need, uhm, 8... 8 times 4? *pause&looks at me*

Min: Thrity-tw--

Michael: THIRTY! Get 30 chairs. Ngayown na.

So there. A Lasalista doesn't know that 32 is the correct answer to the equation 8 x 4. HAHA. Panalo. And he kept repeating that. THIRTY CHAIRS! =)) The day went along in a fast forward blur. We've been there since 1:30pm and we got picked up by Kuya Ben at 8pm! Seesh. But nonetheless, the day went along pretty good. We also got to wish on the church beside the tent.

Met up with Karla's other brother, Diko at Valle Verde and transferred from Innova to a owner type Jeep! HELLZYEAH. That's how we roll. HAHAHAHA! I love it. Super mega over to the highest level talaga yung speakers ni Kuya. Super funny! Anyway, we stopped by at their shop, Walnut Creek to pick up Karla's oh-so-generous Mom who let us eat FREE Caramel Cotton Cake, Chocolate Cotton Cake, Chocolate Bread and BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE! Woo. I conclude therefore that when you're with Karla, HINDI KA MAGUGUTOM. HAHA :)) Tita even made me a promise that she will give me Blueberry Cheesecake on my birthday. Aww :)

Akalain mong marami paring uto uto sa mundo?

Buban sent me this text: "Try mo to. Text mo frboom tas send mo sa 2332. Tas may sesend sayong tanong. Pag nasagot mo bibigyan ka ng libreng load. Try mo! Free ang pagtext. Cool."

Morally, I sent it to everyone without me even trying the goddamn trick. Pft. Blame it to Ate who was using the computer and the frickin TV for putting on lame shows that day. Seriously, I wasn't expecting anyone to be lured by that stupid prank. Come on right?

But just after a few seconds, people kept asking me if it was true and valid. In the fullness of my Holy Week heart, I told everyone that asked, "Oo! Try mo! Go!"

I didn't think I could fool them but after a few minutes...

Bwahahahahaha >:) That goes to show the gullible side of the world we live in. Gawd, I didn't know it would be that easy to persuade people. I'm getting the hang of it :>

BUT- not everyone was as stupid as the others. I couldn't remember those people that didn't do it but I can't dare forget Raz's reply:

"Gago. Haha. Halos lahat na ng 3rd year Boom Tarat Tarat ringbacktone. HAHAHA! Nakakatawa nga eh. Nung tumawag ako kay Steph sabi, "Pasko na. Pasko na. Lahat tayo'y magsaya." Hahaha. Tangina eh."

Our batch isn't the bad batch lang pala. Inulan pa ng mga uto uto. That made things lighter :))

Cheers thee to La Salle and Ateneo!

Blue against Green. Archer against Eagle. Ateneo versus La Salle.

At almost every turn, people recognize that these three statements could only spell one thing: competition. Arguably the most storied rivalry in the country, a game that has "La Salle" in the same line as "Ateneo" always draws interest from people who get to know about it because they are sure to catch a highly spirited, tension-filled, and exciting game. People recognize that "Blue" is never a good combination for "Green". But in the light of the current turmoil our country faces today, when lies, excuses, and cover ups fill our television sets, radios and even newspapers, that line that separates the "Green" from the "Blue" disappears in order to be a strong force seeking one thing: TRUTH.

"Magkasangga sa Katotohanan" will feature players from the usually-rival schools teaming up with each other in a friendly game as a sign of unity for that "truth" that all of us are so desperately hoping to know. This game may be the only time one would see a player wearing a La Salle jersey passing to a player wearing an Ateneo jersey. This game seeks to show the country that even the worst of enemies can set differences aside in order to achieve a common cause for the good.

The game's opening rites will be graced by Eng. Jun Lozada. :> :> :> [I love him talaga!]

Game will take place on March 29, 1PM at the Araneta Colliseum. Ticket prices are at PhP 350, PhP 300, PhP 120, PhP 70, PhP 25. For ticket reservations, please call Ticketnet at 9115555. Proceeds of this event will benefit the Sanctuary Fund.

Blue against Green. Archer against Eagle. Ateneo versus La Salle.

________________________EDIT!EDIT!_________________________

This friggin game just won't take place. It's been cancelled for 3 times already. My excitement is slowly fading =/

OH, just to inform y'all. This game is not the usual Ateneo-La Salle game. They added twist to it apparently. Get this. If you're from Ateneo, instead of wearing blue, cheering for the Blue Eagles and having the Blue Babble Batallion to back up your cheering, you do the contrary. Yeah, you heard it right! If you're from Ateneo, you SHOULD wear green, cheer for the Green Archers and will be accompannied by the La Salle Pep Squad. For the La Salle people, vice versa.

It's so effin cool.

AYLAVET♥

YOU WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE ADVANCE ALGEBRA?

1 .Maria just got married and is about to throw her bouquet which will form a parabola at a balcony 14 feet from the ground. Given the Quadratic Function y= x + x*2 + 20.

Ana, her sister is 15 ft from the balcony. Jo, her bestriend, 5ft away and Pat, her mother, 28 ft away.

Who would be in the perfect spot to catch the bouquet? _____________.

♥Yes, I drew a roof in between the balcony and the 3 desperate women. And wrote: " Sadly there is a roof so nobody will be able to catch the bouquet because there is a 90% chance that it would land on the roof. Sorry girls."
_______________________________________________________________________________

There was also this problem where the question involves this illustration where we were asked to find the slope of this ramp.

♥I again, drew a jell-o type monster in between the ramp and wrote a little note at the side: "The monster scared the handicapped. Therefore, there is no purpose for looking for the ramp's slope because the handicapped that was supposed to use it was a scaredy cat."

______________________________________________________________________________________

What can I do? I can't help it. I really, REALLY hate Math. Screw you. Leave me alone.
