Non-School Related Post

I feel the long weekend slipping through my hands already. For the first 2.5 days of it, I played the Magna Carta game that I quit and dug out again. I can't find any new RPGs to play. For the rest of it, I worked on this layout and went out somewhere.

It's been a while since I've been designing layouts. I started this one when some inspiration from other people's sites (probably caused by envy of their cool layouts) hit me like typhoon Florita just recently. This one looks like it was thought of for a week, considering my tendency to procrastinate with these things. It only took me 30 minutes to make the graphics and an hour to fix everything else. Just like the other layouts, it looks weird. Weird and bright.

My sister says it doesn't fit me and the way I post. The blue and the gray were part of the original plan, since my blog is kind of calm and discreet. I just added orange because I was forced to look at color wheels recently for a project. It contrasts with the other colors, making it look less dull. I just don't know if it reflects my personality. What kind of person am I, if I'm even one?

I also "rediscovered" some old scraps of paper from before, and I found a story that I thought of, supposedly for the English Sci-Fi play last year. It was a different one from the other story I suggested. It's about people in a new settlement in a far-off planet after the Earth was destroyed by... I don't know. I didn't continue it because I couldn't think of some details in the plot. After that, I created a soundtrack for it in case that was the story we were going to present. Mostly Guilty Gear themes and some others. Also tried sketching how the characters look like, the locations, etc. I feel a little bad that I didn't go on working on it.

Currently absorbed with:

• Homework. Oh, man.


• Trying to fix the header part of the layout.


• Magna Carta: Tears of Blood


• Trying another layout


• Completing the story about people in a new settlement in a far-off planet after the Earth was destroyed by... I don't know. I should give it a title.

I just noticed that this is my 101th post in this blog. Ah, well.

The weekend is here!

And it's really relieving. A break from the hectic and insanity-inducing schedule at school. Even the homework for next week is less than what we usually have. I'm even done with most of them. All that's left is to study for the long tests for the week.

I'm kinda stuck here. Here's a site that was suggested in School Arts (forgot what issue) for some inspiration for our Art project. We were assigned to do something like Monet's Water Lilies. I don't really have ideas yet.

We're going to Tagaytay tomorrow. Um, yeah. I forgot how it looks like since it's been a while I've gone there. The last time was on a Grade 4 field trip, but we only visited a retreat house.

I want to make some more new pages for some sites, play video games, draw stuff and take pictures but my sked doesn't seem to allow.

I want new batteries for my digicam. I haven't been going out recently, heheh.


I crave for... lasagna.

That was random. Will post next time.

Increasing workload. And it's just the 3rd week. Now that is an example of exponential growth.

Now I know that the upperclassmen and the teachers weren't exaggerating when they said that sophomore year is really busy. Performance-wise, well, I'm not sure. Lots of homework every night, so my average bedtime is around eleven pm. Not much time to enjoy the weekend because were busy doing projects and studying for long tests. Right now, I'm typing a few reports due this week. I've still got to finish my submission for the Art Club.

The project involving this made my weekend somewhat miserable, even though it was easy to find interviewees. I also liked the painting *might be stoned by other classmates*, but I fear that no one will be able to really describe it.

Despite all that, I'm enjoying school. I like (almost) all of my classes. The teachers are understanding when it comes to lessons. My classmates and most batchmates are easy to get along with. I hope there would still be those stuff that'll keep me optimistic about school.

Oh, come on. I'm dying here. I hope I could have a good dinner and sleep enough tonight.

School Post, Again

I'm back from school again.

It was fun this week. Even though we've got lots (lots and lots and LOTS) of requirements piled up, the classes are still interesting and worth attending. Somehow, achievements now feel more rewarding that last year. I'm not really able to explain why.

Classmates are still bearable, I think ^^;.

Now I prefer being dismissed late. The time between dismissal and the time the carpool leaves is kind of boring, since I have nothing to do then but read and do some homework. I don't like having to be responsible in telling everyone the service's activity. It pisses me off >:P.

And this morning, I woke up at 5. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I ended up finishing my Algebra homework. Meep.

I hope I can do something that isn't school-related this weekend.

First Week Flop

Back from school. I was actually supposed to post this last Friday, but I fell asleep before I got a chance to log in. It isn't as thrilling as when you post right after things happen to you, but I'll just go on. After this I'll log out to rewrite my Algebra homework. Meep. >_<

Sophomore year. It is hard, even on the first week. Seems that I can't chill out as much as I did last year. Academics has become a lot more challenging. Lots of classes, homework and activities. Right now, I think it just needs some getting used to.

But I can't get used to the amount of work to do. It's only the first week and we have so much to do at school and at home already.

Right now, I'm alright with Champaca. Don't see any problems with other classmates there, and I hope it'll stay that way.

I feel kind of foolish after this week. All the changes seem so awkward. Or am I the only one whose changed? Now that I really got used to school, I want to find opportunities for "improvement" by being a little more outgoing and trying more activities. But none of those efforts seem welcomed. It feels like the start of last year. I don't know if anyone understands this but let's leave that topic as is.

And some stuff about home... ah well. Nothing right now.
