And then I became inactive.
Good news: I dont have to undergo a refresher course! I tried driving (again, it was my first in two years) from our house to Biñan through Southwoods. Yey! Hindi ko naibunggo ung kotse, pero mga 5 times ako namatayan ng engine. Nakakahiya mang sabihin, I forgot na kailangan pala ng clutch pag nagbbreak. Nyehehe.. Yuk!!
Today, I also drove the car to Pacita (To where my brother Hope takes his advanced summer classes) and to USPS (To my brother's school because he had to be enrolled). Nyahaha..Nakapag-park na rin ako sa wakas! At hindi iyon natapos dun: After eating lunch, I drove all the way to Cabuyao, Laguna upang ihatid ang aking mama sa kanyang negosyo. Ang haba nun, 20-25 KM yata. Yey!
Bad news: I lost my SIM card! Huhu.. Actually, it was not me, but my GREAT brother IVAN. Grr! I hate him, but what can I do? The phone was his anyway, and naging akin lang yon because it was confiscated from him as he was engaging for too many hours texting his juvenile girlfriend. Nagkataong nasira ang aking tunay na phone. WALA TULOY AKONG PHONE NGAYON! Hay.. so sad. Pero I learned that I can survive a day without my phone. Himala! SURVIVAL COUNT: a week and a few days.
GC updates: I got all of my grades, except for SocSci II. Dr. Lu told the class that the release of classcards would be at the date of registration for summer classes (which was last week, April 14). I went to school yesterday to get my other cards and still, the SocSciII cards were not available. Huhu.. Ang GC noh? Wala lang!

I decided to take brain tests as the GC me is beginning to come back. haha. Actually I am at a computer shop near the school waiting for my brother to finish all his requirements for readmission. nyahaha. I got 3 of my classcards and I am going to post my grades maybe next week (When I have all of my classcards already), as I have done last semester. Kc diba promise ko un sa pioneer entry ko? [Recall: "Get Ready for the GCest entries you'll ever read!] *Waiting for my XDA* yabang! joke lang.. hehe chigechige
Your Brain is 60.00% Female, 40.00% Male |
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve |
Hmm. I knew I was still female though my mom tells me sometimes to stop acting like a little BOY. nyahaha Sometimes I am thinking of what could possibly happen if the hormones which stimulated the development of my gonads were that for males. (Naks, zoo yan). Hmm..
You Are 65% Left Brained, 35% Right Brained |
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar. |
You Are Pretty Logical |
 (You got 50% of the questions right) You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect logic, you logic is pretty darn good Keep at it - you've got a lot of natural talent in this area! |

I just arrived home from LTO. My mom got her non-professional license while my sister got her student's permit as she is planning to take driving lessons for the summer. As for me, I was just waiting there for them to finish with their deals. Ive already got my license but I think I have lost my driving skills -- THANKS to my dad, my brothers, and sometimes my mom for discouraging me to drive. Ahh.. back then I remember when I was a fresh drving school graduate -- they would let me drive the car, and then each of them would start yelling "Stop the car!", "Ahhh!", "Haha. Shift to the 2nd gear please!!!" and things like that that you wouldn't want to hear especially if you are only starting to drive. Duh? Eh ikaw kaya ang mag-drive nang ngaun ka pa lang natuto at hindi ka umatend ng kahit anong seminar na inoffer nung school. Shot -- nakakainis tlga. Now I owe them for missing those times when I should have been driving a car to school or some place with my friends. Grr.. and now they are planning to get me a REFRESHER course? Ah! Ang sakit non sa damdamin noh. I know its partly my fault. But if they had just let me practice driving using our car I could have been driving better. But they didnt. The boys would always take the wheel off my hands. Imagine all the days I spent 2 summers ago learning how to drive with that teacher who has that i-think-my-student-has-a-crush-on-me syndrome. Oops. I forgot we have learned a new term for that -- AMORITIC. ahaha Now they are going to enroll me again to 10 hours of that? Hay.. I don't know if I can go through all this again. But then Ive got nothing to do this summer, so I guess I won't let this chance pass me by.
Im gonna be a good driver someday. Better than my dad and my kuya. Hmmp!

After reading my college friends' blogs, aww.. I somehow missed them. The sudden break from Anatomy and OrgChem I am experiencing right now is both relieveing and depressing. Relieveing, as my worries are over, and Depressing, as I miss my routines back at school.
I can't make my entry as dramatic as Ryan's , as I am not a good writer, but I would like to say the same things. I am thankful for all my friends, who shared sad thoughts with me after every exam in Anatomy and Chem which killed our social lives a bit. And so I dedicate this entry to them (naks)..
Ryan, Rox, Dette, Krissy, Tricia, Francine, Sharon.. Miss ko na kayo lahat! I pray that the next semester wouldn't give us much stress as this last one. Sana maiplano natin ang lahat nang tama. :)

Today, the Sunday morning air is different. I had always known this would happen, as the cliche goes, the truth is inevitable. But I wasn't expecting it would be this soon.. the news came as a shock, even to myself.
A public confession at our church is to happen, and it involves two of the people I regard with utmost respect. They are the leaders of our youth organization, two of the most people least expected by all to commit such a sin. Whew, how the devil works in such unexpected ways so as to topple the church and the believers.
Even though it seems (or maybe is) resolved, I still can't get it off my mind. You cannot blame me, because I had always given them my trust and I looked up much to them. Even though we had always suspected that something was going on between them, they would always prove our thoughts wrong as they would deny them.
Through this experience I have proved that sin is so powerful it can make any person even the unimaginable.
I suggest we should be watchful. Always.

Waah! I forgot to tell you what happened when Chai, Vangie, and I met. hehe.. haba na kasi nung last post ko.
As we have planned the day's events, we watched a movie. Actually, I told Chai that we were to watch a horror film (Hide and Seek). But when we were at the booth, we decided to watch Sandra Bullock's instead, ehehe because Hide and Seek seems not too scary. Miss Congeniality 2 is a good film, but it is not that excellent. haha I suggest you watch Hide and Seek instead.
And of course, our day wouldn't be complete without something to make us remember the happenings of that day. So, we went to Kameraworld, and had pictures of us three taken by the antipatikong phototgrapher (Grrr.. how we hate him!). Although the pictures turned out good, we still hate that man. Hmmph! Kung hindi lang mura sa shop niyo!!!!!
We were talking of .. I can't remember hehe.. while walking, when Vangie (was it her, or Chai?) suggested a sleepover at our house. I said its alright, and then "ngayon na?" Wahaha Voila! A plan was made. With no extra clothes, pajamas, and fully-charged cellphone batteries (Chai? ehehe), and with just a text message sent to Vangie's mother and a call made to Chai's brother, Vangie and Chai headed for Laguna from Robinson's Place Ermita. Yeyeyey!
We ate, I slept (because they watched Full House from my mama's collection..hhehe) and then watched Full House again the next morning. I was always talking about Jessie and was like "ay, ung parang kay Jessie..", "uy! si Jessie", "Jessie! Jessie!". Sa makatuwid, mukha akong Jessie. Puro Jessie na lang sinasabi ko. Parang ngayon. hehe manood kayo ng Full House!
Hay that night was as unforgettable as the time I spent with them the day before. Salamat sa inyo! :) :)

Vacation Time is the time for long posts. Get Ready! Haha
While talking through YM Evangeline (haha) last week, she and I decided to meet in Manila. There would be no classes then, and no exams to worry about. So we agreed on the plan immediately. Yet I found one thing hard to do: pa'ano ako magpapaalam? Classes and exams are over. Why'd go to Manila and spend PhP 100 on bus fare and about PhP 100+ for food when you can stay and eat at home? My answer to that: to experience being with the people I love the most again [yeah, after about 2 months (Vangie), and a semester (Chai)]. As a solution, Evan texted me something like this last Tuesday evening: "Dude, tuloy ba tayo tomorrow? Kung hindi pwede, wag na lang. Wag ka magsinungaling." Hehe. Sira talaga 'tong si Vangie. When was the time I lied to my mom about going out with you, my friend? hehe. No, I haven't committed such a sin (as far as I can remember). Yet after a while, I began to smile. Vangie has changed a lot. As in A LOT. I don't know the exact details of how she came to know Christ and Christian ways, but for sure I am very grateful to those people who helped her through. Being her friend for over four years, I know I should have been the one to have introduced her to the Bible and talked to her about salvation. Yet I guess, I was too shy then. I regret those times when I had the chance. Thank God for the people He used in UP Diliman who lead Vangie to Christ. She is such a special soul.
All the while I thought that I would become unChristian as I entered highschool. I was thirteen then, and was forced to stay in my grandma's house in Manila because my parents were worrying that I wouldn't be able to have enough time to study if I would travel to Manila from Laguna everyday. Ooops.. wrong word. I wasn't forced exactly, because I really enjoyed my stay at Nanay's. I grew up in her house until I was four, when in 1990, we moved to San Pedro because my parents bought a house there. I love Nanay so much, and now its a sad thing that she aint living with us now (May storya din ito, but I think it would be too degrading to tell you all about it here). And so back to my highschool story. I was (and am) thanking God because I was kept in track as I found a true Christian friend -- Christine Villafranca, who is now fondly called Chai. We had the same beliefs, and belonged to the same denomination (Baptist). I am so blessed to have an influence such as her's, which was not too strict nor liberated. She would always have the best advice for each problem, and it was as if she knew all of the Bible. To have such a friend is like -- having an instant pastor beside you everyday? Hehe, just joking. The feeling is really different -- contrary to what most people think of about being constrained in conservative traditions and strict 'holy' ways, the times I spent with Chai had those moments of being free with allowances for making mistakes. Overcoming them with a wonderwoman (hehee) was a fortifying experience. Too bad we had to part ways, as she didn't prefer to engage in a medical profession, and chose to become a Physicist (Woohoo! Go Chai! Pambato ka namin jan sa ADMU!).
Every now and then as some of you may have noticed, I have devoted my time making entries about my highschool life and friends. More than being thankful for the years of friendship, I am most thankful that they know Christ and I am sure to meet them in heaven. Friends forever, nga naman (forgive the cliche, hihi). I love you my friends!! :)

Eventhough the exemption list was out and I was in it, I decided to take the final exam in chem 31. Most people really don't see any reason why I should, but I have decided to take it months ago, eversince I received the result of the first departmental exam (a discrediting 51/100.. joke. I know I am still blessed to get such a score). I have 5 days to study for the exam, I thought. But my plans proved futile. haha In short, I started studying just Saturday evening. Ahaha. speaking of procrastination!
After taking the exam this morning, I know I just wasted my time studying. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE EXAM. I should have been eating and watchin TV with my siblings. To be able to get a 1.75 in my classcard, I have to get 95 points in the finals. Where the h*ll would I get such? I wasnt able to answer the second problem right. [Hernie, I guess my 'panata' is over.] To get a 2.0, I have to get an 82, and for a 2.25, a 72.
Ah!-ah! [ala-Maek] Those are so over my powers. Especially after knowing that I am least 65% sure that I got the answers right. Hello, 2.5..
Sure I am hoping that another miracle would happen just like that of last semester. Yet as I see it, and as my brother has always reminded me, Ma'am Yao aint like Sir Engle who'd give you credit for the final exam. I need prayers.
AN EXAM TO GO, and then more than a month to relax. Thank God this semester is over.
