Periodical Tests Done!

Yes! I'm done with my 2nd quarter tests. I think I did okay with the tests except Math. Not too confident about it. Nerve-wracking.

So now I'm free. Not free from school. Just a short-lived freedom, like what freedom really is. I could surf the Internet freely for a few days. Free to draw. Free to take pictures. Free to update this blog. It's short-lived.

Regular classes tomorrow. I was hoping that they would continue the Alternate Classroom Experience thing, but they didn't. Too bad.

This weekend will be more idle than the others. I won't have any homework, so I can just fool around. But since my sisters are having their periodical tests next week, there won't be any family outings and I'll be stuck at home tutoring them. It's a good thing the fridge is well-stocked, heh.

We're going to have intramurals next week. I don't think I'll get to join the sports; I wasn't made to play sports. My dad taught me how to play volleyball, baseball and a little of soccer and basketball when I was younger, but it looks like my physical capabilities deteriorated because I got busy at school. In elementary, everyone told me to focus more on my studies to stay on top. Nobody believed that I can play because I was more into indoor stuff (I wasn't really studying, actually). I want to learn how to play, but clubs and teams take the ones that are better instead of the ones who want to try playing, and time doesn't allow me to. It just ain't fair.

I guess that's it right now. I still have to help plan for the "photo gallery" project for our classroom. See you on the weekend?

Life at Thirteen

I didn't post this Thursday to announce this. I still had homework. So...

I'm already thirteen years old.

I don't feel any different from when I was 12. It just feels like another day just passed. Just gave the day a little more importance because one of my classmates is celebrating his 13th birthday as well. Besides all the greetings, it felt like a normal school day.

Came home and the party started. Ate a lot, did my homework, went to bed.

Now, everyone's already saying that I'm a teenager. I don't really think adolesence starts at 13 only. Mine seemed like it started at 9. Early bloomer. I going to stop growing while everyone is reaching above 5'3. Oh man.


Exams are near. Everything's cool, except Math. I failed 2 long tests (can I say even below 20%) this quarter and have only the periodical test to make up for the low scores. My solving speed is at fault. I already realized that and I'm working on it. The other reason is that our teacher gives the really easy problems everyday, and shocks us with an more complicated problem in the long test. He didn't even explain most of the processes used in the l.t. problem.

Um. That's about it for now.

Your are the Blue dragon. You love the ice and
company of others. You're mellow and kind and
listen to others to help them out. You don't
often get mad. You trust your friends and
family with everything and feel close to
everyone. You don't reject new people but it
does take you a while to get used to them.
You're just 'cool' to hang with. you should
seek a Green dragon for comfort.


What kind of dragon are you?[OK PICTURES ARE UP!!]

Too Much Work

Stuff to do (mostly homework):
Math HW- Done
Science HW/Long Test- Summarizing, still
Filipino HW- Done part of it, will continue after the other one
Soc. Sci. HW- Haven't started
Long tests on Monday: Math, Filipino- Wha?
Drafting bonus HW- Desperate for extra points

It's understandable that the teachers are giving us lots of homework because the 2nd quarter exams are near. But the work is depriving me of sleep. For the whole week, I've only slept 5 hours every night. Nothing compared to what lots of people do, but I'm not even 13 yet and have more years of growing to come. (155 centimeters doesn't satisfy me!). The only thing that I can do to recharge is to eat, but I'm short on cash and skip snacks on weekdays.

It's a weekend now and supposed to catch up on my sleep. Homework just had to be extended up to now. My head!

My room is still a mess and my papers are all over the place. No matter how hard I try to minimize it, clutter still abounds.

So overall, I'm too busy to feel anything else. Tortured as well?

To cheer myself up, I'm singing(?!?!?!?) to some Japanese RPG music while working on the computer. Looked forward to the weekend to draw something, but you know. Can't go out of the house either, even just to walk around. So what am I doing posting here?
Answer: ........


You were killed during a mission or while trying to
protect someone and you died with honor. you
never regretted what you did and you are a very
brave and strong individual. You know what is
right and you are willing to stand up for it.
Even if it means death.


How did you die in your past life? (for everyone)

You are a Natural Warrior

The natural warrior believes that they do not need
training but a good heart and a strong resolve
to be a true warrior, although this does not
mean that they have no training at all. Through
out history tales of these warriors are
everywhere, and if you dont believe me try
reading up on your greek mythology.These are
people that believe in folowing their
intuition, believing that all they need is
courage and hope.


This will almost be the most popular result, and it
is the most comon one in history and mythology.
People folowing this mold tend to be a little
self ritious, although generally not by much,
couragious, and sometimes a bit reckless. You
know who you are and that is what truly
matters.

Before Classes Start This Week

Song in my head: Fate Breaker (Leyline Observatory theme) from Wild Arms 3. Too excited for WA 4th Detonator.

Yeah! I'm finally done with my Math homework! And it just had to be given when we had an acivity yesterday. The next few days will be a bit more tiring. Two group projects to lead, a reaction paper to sumbit and a report that is considered a long test. Still expecting more work to do.

I want to draw my anime again. My drawing "skill" (not sure what to call it) has atrophied because of all the work from school.

And that would be it for now. Notice the spacing? That's what takes up most of the space in my posts these days, I noticed. Hope I still get to update often.


You're Jet! You're anti social, and you're a bit
calculating. You won't do much out of the
goodness of your heart. But you're tough, and
you have a realistic view of the world. But
under that rough exterior, you're somewhat
naive. Although you don't let on, the fact that
you're different from everyone else bothers
you.

Post After a Long Time

Sorry about not posting. I guess it's nothing new. Just that I don't have the time to update because of schoolwork.

We had a break from regular classes last week. The whole school just had games, activities, alternate classes, debates, assemblies, and long free periods. There was even a Rivermaya concert last Friday (didn't get to watch the whole thing, though). Humanities Week, where have you been all my life?

And we're back to classes again for three days.

Today, it rained hard and the school was flooded. Worse, a cable burst when it got hit by lightning at the afternoon so there was no electricity for the rest of the day. No electricity means no Computer Science class, and no Computer Science class means I won't get a turn at Macromedia Flash.

The thing that I liked about today was that I got to befriend the other people who were "stranded" because of the flood and some others before I went home.

Another thing was that I found out that I'm in the Director's List. I never expected to be included in it. In fact, I thought I wouldn't be able to understand anything in school. It's all thanks to no hard work, cramming, intimidation caused by teachers and smarter classmates, starvation, parents' pleas and eventually threats, and motivation because of the extremely high expectactions of everyone you know. Hey, I'm already trying my best to stay humble and modest and tell the truth at the same time.

Nothing else in my mind besides my homework due on Friday. Reseach is pressuring when you have all the time to do it, stressful at the last minute.

Bye.
