Another day off from school. It gets boring at home. Wait, there's still a lot of work to catch up with, like reports and projects. It's hard to do group works while there are no classes. Right now, I need notes from a classmate for an IS report, since she keeps our experiment notes. I also have to talk to a groupmate about an ES project, but I have no way of contacting him. I still need to reread the first part of Heart of Darkness because I didn't get all the things that happened to Marlow before he met Kurtz. Math, as usual, isn't something I look forward to, even though I got the quadratic formula. Jericho the Lizard (our Art project) remains unfinished.

And I still have a cold.

Out of topic.


Can't all of us in the Philippines just get along?



Just noticed that the hit counter in this site increments in big intervals lately. Thanks for visiting this blog.

I came home from school at around 10. We heard the news about classes being suspended while we were already half-way there. The service vehicle couldn't even go out because of color coding (it got suspended later). So I just continued projects while we were there. While I was there, the driver and I talked about why there are lots of rallies today. I'm not fond of watching or reading news, but I enjoyed listening about the country's condition. From that converstion, I realized the importance of knowing current events.

It was also the first time I got to see a rally up close (see, I really don't go out of the house). There was one right in front of school, where the participants were probably those who live in the row of houses near there.

Now that I got the break from school that I wanted, I don't know what to do. I think I'll study or clean. Weird.

One more thing. This blog started on February 22, 2005. That means this blog is a year old already. Um, happy birthday?

Hello, once again.

I'm still playing around with the Adobe Photoshop CS my cousin gave me. It's a bit hard to figure out.

Last week's achievement tests were okay, except for Math. I worked on three-fourths of the items, only sure of at least half, then shotgunned the rest. It was the most stressful of the achievement tests. SocSci was also tricky.

Next week brings regular classes, more deadlines and more afternoon talks with friends. I'm only looking forward to the last thing I mentioned.

I took the Blogging Personality Quiz at About Web logs and I am...

The Daily Grinder
I love blogging because it's like therapy. I can write about anything and everything that happens to me - from the food I ate to what I was doing when I heard the latest 'breaking news'. Being able to communicate with my friends (online and/or real life) through my blog is important to me.



Will post again. Signing off.

This was supposed to be for yesterday.

I was supposed to post this yesterday, but our Internet connection was acting up again, so I saved in on my computer and put it off until I can go online. These were my thoughts yesterday.

There's no water here. We can't drink, cook, wash things or even use the toilet now. Now I know that I really need water all the time.

To the main post, though the stuff before has something to do with it. Happy Valentine's day, everyone.

I'm not in for the romantic aspect of love, but there are different kinds of it. Sure, I don't have a "partner" yet, but what do I care? I'm too young and indifferent for those things. I can only indulge in the so called "platonic love", meaning love for faith, family and friends and everything in life (this is where the thing about water goes). It seems more fulfilling than romance at this time of my life. I learn to love life and all it's good and bad parts. And that includes the work that I'm avoiding now >_<.


Back to present.

I really should update the zeitgeist and the media list here. I hope I remember.


BLUE



You give your love and friendship unconditionaly. You enjoy long, thoughtful conversations rich in philosophy and spirituality. You are very loyal and intuitive.

I got to review for the achievement tests I will be taking this week.

Well...

I'm back to post for this week. It feels strange when I blog on any other day besides Sunday. Not used to it.

I still don't have any ideas for a new layout for this blog. I'm thinking of a non-black background. I might use blue or white. Well, it won't happen for a while. I'm still busy with school work.


An account of what we did at school (A very long paragraph, how fun.):

We had our science fair this week. This time, I did more work compared to the other week-long breaks we had. We had a visit from a foreign president and flew kites this Monday. Our class presented a sci-fi play, but everyone left before it finished. I had a role there, and I'm not too confident if I did well. The rest of the week, I just helped in the ushering and rode a scooter around the oval. I joined the school's Astronomy club's workshop where they taught students from other schools to use rule of hands and telescopes for stargazing. Yesterday, I ushered a group of students and a teacher in the Math competition. They came from outside Metro Manila, so I found it a bit hard to catch up with them. They were really nice, though. They didn't win and left early. The rest of the afternoon was spent fooling around before our batch stargazing. The stargazing this time was more organized, but I wish we did more activities like the club's stargazing last October. I'm still drowsy up to now; we slept at 3:30.


My life is still disorganized. I haven't started on some projects and we are being dumped with more work. I still have some things to do at home. Wish me luck, if it will ever come to me.


(Helyon, you did a good job in the play. It doesn't matter how loud an applause you received, as long as you know you did your best. And I've got to say, some people don't know what they should applaud for.)

I went to get my report card this morning when I heard the news about the stampede at Ultra. I lost my appetite this evening while watching the news on tv. I just don't know how to react. The most I can do right now is to give my sympathies to those who were, in one way or another, involved in the tragedy.



My report card didn't matter that much. I got into the Director's List last quarter, some grades went up and some down. I really should work harder, especially in Math. I keep on saying that, but nothing happens. I'll leave that thought at that.

Well, I was supposed to post what happened last week. School work, school work and more school work. I'm very tired already. No, wait. Even I don't have the right to say that. It's just about something I'd rather not bring up. Never mind.

There's still more to worry about. We were just assigned a Math homework by our teacher that is due on Monday. The class has a social issue analysis due next week and the class play is on Tuesday. We have folk songs to practice for next week, and I don't even know how Lawiswis Kawayan sounds like. I don't have the right to complain about those, either. My head is spinning.
