My glasses broke. The pink bendy glasses I've had since sixth grade broke today. :( I guess they've lived a good long life, so... it was still a bit depressing, though. It's as if all the bonds that tied me to my grade school life are fast unraveling - friends and books and even the way I speak. I don't know anymore.



I got new ones, though. :D



It's kind of sad, but I'm still hung over HSM3. LOL. It just renewed my desire to live life as a musical. (Take a look at Cam's blog.)

HAHA. I watched HSM3 and kind of liked it. A lot. =))

The song "Can I Have This Dance" was pretty. I'm so in love with it.

Uh, moving on. Lol.

Rbonding and Sarah's birthday last Friday. Ang saya. Nearly everyone in Rb was so game to do the dares - we hung out in the new gazebos and accosted random first years (nothing bad). It was so much fun. Tapos Sarah's surprise birthday pa (Keziah and I fail as party planners). And then we went out for dinner with her and the rest of her family. :D

Er. Yeah. I'm too sleepy to write properly, sorry. :(

Okay, Joe just showed me this poem and it's so awesome that I have to post it.

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an African Kid:

When I born, I black. When I grow up, I black. When I go in Sun, I black. When I scared, I black. When I sick, I black. And when I die, I still black. And you white fellow. When you born, you pink. When you grow up, you white. When you go in sun, you red. When you cold, you blue. When you scared, you yellow. When you sick, you green. And when you die, you gray. And you calling me colored?

Loveeee. Lol. Anyway.

The retreat. Oh, the retreat. I loved it. I think nearly everyone did.

So many memories were created in the space of a few days. Averie's trip-around-the-world suitcase. Isay carrying a rosary (gasp). Pre-palanca madness ("TAE DI KO NATAPOS YUNG PALANCA NIYA."). Being released into the wild. First walk-out ever. Room-hopping. Disobeying rules. UBE's. Soft Batch cookies and Pik Nik. Prank calls. Sunsets, I love you's, etc. in the Bingo sheets. The huge, fragile dice. Human boardgame. FRANCO DEL ROSARIO. : 9:00 pm to 11:30 pm (the time it took all four of us to take a bath, lol). Meals with the girls. The beautiful chapel. Waking up late. Confession. Doubting. Seeing Isay about to confess (gasp again). Averie asking me whether man-hating was a sin =)). The firewall! Kuya Kenneth totally forgetting that we were supposed to be discussing the activities with our other counselors. BONDING WITH KEZIAH TAN, SARAH OXALES, AND AVERIE YLANAN. BONDING WITH KEANU FONTANILLA, ADRIAN BEGONIA, BENJO RODRIGUEZ, AND NICO REYES. All the b**** jokes, failed Bellinee ones, yellow and pretty and love-kept-real jokes. Being "kidnapped" in 14A, the quiet game, waking up to Keanu saying, "You lose". Palanca madness. Post-palanca madness on main street, crying, hugging, kissing, making up, thanking, apologizing, forgiving, laughing, loving. The cicada. Dropping my phone and screaming when I ran to hug Nico. Finding God. My-My and Josh's amazing duet! Batch pictures underneath the sun. Our last mass. Packing up. Leaving Angels' Hills.

The retreat touched me in so many ways, and I'll never forget it. I feel so emotionally-loaded now, somehow... after it all... I don't know. :)) Hay.

Back to school with a disappointing thump, now. We have classes on the stage of the Gym. In the caf. On the stairwells of the ASTB. In the girls' and boys' dorms. It's very sad - Emil had to use this door for a blackboard.

(Only Pisay.)

I guess I should do Math homework... So yeah. I'mma end my post here.

Happy birthday, Ma'am Crisologo!

I'm on a classics rampage! Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm halfway into Emma now. :D

I'm glad, because I seriously feel like I've been neglecting reading lately - there's just no time!

It's over. For better or for worse, this week is OVER.

Grabe. I was filled to my maximum stress potential today, I swear. It was worse than any of the perio days we've had so far. Ugghhh. I'm so sorry if I was a little... short with anyone today. It was not my intention, I promise - I'm just grumpy today. Ek.

I HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS CUTE LITTLE BOY WITH THE BLUEST EYES I'VE EVER SEEN, THOUGH. Arriele's stock directory was filled to the brim with beautiful kids. <3 Hay, Health.

Sevi told me a story from their school that helped me destress a bit, though. It went like this:

There was a little kid at an ice cream parlor who was having trouble deciding what to buy. The waitress was getting a little impatient - there were lots of other customers waiting for a table who could afford to buy more.

"How much is the plain ice cream?" the little boy asked.

"Fifty cents," the waitress answered.

"What about the sundae?"

"Seventy-five."

He seemed decided. "I'll get the plain."

She brought him his plain ice cream, still annoyed at his holding up the customers, and went to another table. When she got back, the little boy was gone along with his ice cream.

On the table was exactly seventy-five cents.

When Sevi told me that story, I was all, "Awwwww." Haha. It helped me destress. I love that little kid from the story. I like thinking he looks like the kid with the blue eyes.

LOL. I'm becoming incoherent. And random. Never mind. ONE MORE DAY. ONE MORE DAY BEFORE FREEDOM.

You'd think that the end of exams would mean some sort of respite, but apparently not. It just means that it's time to get back to the crap we've let pile up with the excuse that we needed to devote our time to studying for the perios.

Health baby book. English board game. Physics Long Test. ComSci Long Test. Make-up SocSci Greece quiz (this is for me). I think that's it. And I'm too lazy to start on any of it right now.

I think that one word can sum up my past few days: lazy. I just feel like I can't be bothered to exert effort anymore... sometimes I wonder if I'll die of ennui. What a dreadful way to go.

I'm going to kill some more time before reading on Greece.

Today was so cool. It was like we just got back after summer vacation or something.

At least, that's what I felt. Lol. I felt so happy seeing Keanu's skinny... never mind. Just check out keanurexic.i.ph. :>

Biology.

So... STR Methodology is done. Yey. It's the only productive thing I've accomplished this break.

I basically bummed around because, well, I'm a Pisay student. And I can't usually bum around without feeling all panicked about what the next day will bring. Besides, if they take away our sembreak, like the admin is threatening, I might as well make the most of class-less days, yeah?

I watched Atonement yesterday, which is the most God-awful depressing movie I've ever watched. It was really well-done, but heartbreaking. I went around the rest of the day with this heavy cloud pressing down on me, lol.

I've been watchingwatchingwatching movies, lying around in bed, reading books, watching more movies. And I made Rafa a spider out of beads.

And since it's month of the Holy Rosary, we've been praying it everyday. It makes me feel a bit better about my religious life in general, because I srsly feel like I've been neglecting it lately. I remember how we used to pray before and after every single class in Poveda, and now I'm like... prayer-less. :( It's all very sad.

Before I kill the reader with the utter mundanity of this post, I'm going to sign off now. Good night, all. :)
