UPCATUPCATUPCAT

Oh crap! UPCAT is just 2 days away and I'm very nervous. I'll be taking it on Saturday, 6:30am. Wow! First batch.*please note the sarcasm* Luckily, our school declared a holiday for us seniors tomorrow. So yea, we don't have classes. Hooray!

Gosh. I'm supposed to be studying now but I'm too "soupified" to do that. That's why I thought I'd blog first. Posting in my blog makes me feel better. So please forgive me if I rant too much. (:

Pressure

Okay. Breathe in...Breathe out...

You can handle it, Lis. You'll get through it.

Pressure is a normal thing in high school. Get used to it!

Remember, just one at a time... ONE AT A TIME.

Time, where did you go?

Chantal Kreviazuk


It's my favorite song. The title is "Time" by Chantal Kreviazuk. It's a nice song. I thought I'd share it with you guys. :) I got the video from Myspace TV videos.

Letting Go

And I promise myself that I shall never look back that way again. I know I should have done this a long time ago since I've been through this for like a thousand times already. But unfortunately...I always fail. Why? Maybe it's because I'm always scared of what people might think of me. I know it's not supposed to be that way but there's this part of me that's... always holding me back. I end up having regrets most of the time since I let the opportunities that I could grab just pass me by.

Seriously, I should let it go and start over already. I really mean it this time. I shouldn't be stressed about those things anymore. It's something I could not change anymore. It happened already. I don't want to live a life full of regrets.

As much as I'd like things to be smooth and easy, I'm not counting on it. Nobody ever said that life is easy...so is letting go.

But I know, I'll get there someday.

Changes

So... What can you say about my new layout? Well... okay, so it's not really new since I only changed the colors. It's still the same layout. Anyway, does is it look okay? Or is the old one better? If you want to say something about it, just hit the 'COMMENT' button. (:

And if you have also noticed, I've added one picture of a guy, the picture before David Archuleta and David Cook. Haha. His name is Beau Mirchoff. Isn't he hot? :)) Haha! Well, well. He's my new inspiration. LOL. If you have watched Scary Movie 4, then you might have seen him already. He played the role of Robbie Ryan in the movie, the son of Tom Ryan (portrayed by Craig Bierko).

Anyway, I don't have much to blog about yet. So, I'll log out first and do my homework before I forget them. =P

One Surprising Friday

I was pretty exhausted for the past few days. Yea, school is really tiring.:P Projects are starting to pile up here and there, the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) is already nearing, as well as our 1st quarterly exams. *sigh* It's only now that I'm starting to feel like a senior high school student.

Anyway, once again, it was my favorite day yesterday: Friday. Well, it was a tiring but fun day since we had our shooting for our Economics project. We started around 2pm-6pm at Prince David's Condominium. We have to do a music video that is related to our lessons in Economics. Our group imitated F4. =)) Well, only 4 of us acted and I was the one who played Vaness.:| Nuff said. Gosh! I just want to cringe under my chair when our video presentation will be shown in class. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not an anti-F4 nor am I an avid fan. It's just that it really felt awkward for me to act it out. Well you know, being the shy girl that I am. =P Anyway, my groupmates and I tried to do our best. We just hope that it will have a good outcome.

After our shoot, my groupmates and I hanged out at National Bookstore Katipunan. It was fun! Haha. I was with Micah, Kara and Olivia. Oh wait. Olivia left earlier, so it was just me, Kara, Micah.

So yea, we were roaming around the store when we stumbled into the "astrology stuff" section. We were trying to read one another's...(Err, what do you call it?)..."fate". It was really fun. At least we were able to relax and unwind in a way. (:

After around 20 minutes, Kara and Micah left. So, it was just me. I left NBS and went to McDo Katips since my brother told me that he will fetch me there. He also asked me to buy him a drink cos he was really thirsty. Actually, I did not have any plan to go to McDo anymore since I was avoiding to spend my money. Anyway, I already gave in to my brother's request since he will pay me back. =P See? I can be a good sister. Haha.

While I was lining up, there were 3 guys infront of me. I didn't know if they were lining up or what so I approached the guy who was near me.

Me: Excuse me? Nakapila ka ba?

He turned to look at me and I was surprised to see him again.

Him: *shakes his head* No.

That him I'm talking about is actually my ex-crush, Miguel. Surprising isn't it? Haha. Anyway, just a short history. You see, I had a crush on him when I was in 1st year high school while he was 2nd year high school at ADMU.

So anyway, I had the guts to mention his name here since first of all this is my blog. Second, I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM ANYMORE and lastly, he won't be able to read this anyway since he doesn't know this blog of mine. Haha. And besides, I know he won't care anyway. I'm sure he's got other important things to do rather than read this blog. :>

Anyway, it was just weird though cos I felt "butterflies" all over me while we were looking at one another. I felt that it took some time to register in our systems that we know one another since we were both quiet and looking at each other for like 5 seconds. =))

After awhile, I think when it already "registered" in our systems that we know one another, we said 'hi' to another. I was not supposed to say something anymore since he was already about to turn back but then my mouth began to move.

Me: Saan ka na nag-aaral?

Miguel: *points outside* Ateneo pa rin.

Me: *nods* Ahh.

And that was it for our short conversation. We both went our separate ways already. I saw him going to another line while I waited for my turn in my line.

Just in time, my brother arrived after I ordered the coke and fries. Thank God I did not wait for too long anymore. :P

Oh and Thank God also since nothing "bad" happened that day. You see, there was this text message that spread a few weeks ago saying that a magnitude 8 earthquake will hit the Philippines on July 18,2008 and it was July 18,2008 yesterday. Nothing happened. Whew!

But you see, I didn't really believe it in the first place but still, it's just freaky to hear or think about it.

Whoever started that text message is a...mean jerk! :|

The Funny Things

Isn't it funny when you can't stop thinking about someone all day long when that someone doesn't even care about you at all?

Isn't it funny to think that you know this certain person's full name (yes, even the middle name.) even when that person doesn't even remember your name?

Isn't it funny to think that you know every little action of that person when that person doesn't even notice your existence?

And isn't it funny to think that you're still hoping for something more to happen even when you know that that person is already happy in someone else's arms?

***
Okay. So that was very random. Does it sound bitter? Haha. Well, maybe I just got carried away by my emotions. Something's just bothering me. (And just to make things clear, it's not about my love life.) It's more about friendship but I don't know why I came up with such composition.

Anyway, I'm just hoping that this feeling would pass.As much as possible, I don't really want to put up a fight with a friend cos I'm not used to it and I just don't really like fighting.

A Mistake

Finally! It's a Thursday. The weekend is almost here. Yay! Anyway, I wasn't supposed to blog something long today but I just would like to share something. It's a bit embarrassing but yea, at least I learned something for the day.

Awhile ago after PE class, Eggy and I were about to leave the covered court already when Ms. Lesaca, our PE teacher, approached me. She handed me the ID and fan that is owned by one of my classmates.

Eggy: Ano iyan?

Me: Naiwan ni Kara, mga stuffs niya.

Eggy: Stuffs? Baka you mean stuff.

Me: Huh? Stuffs naman talaga diba?

Eggy: You don't put 's' sa stuff. It's already in plural form. Plural na nga lalagyan mo pa ng 's'. *laughs*

Me: Oh. Ganun ba iyon? Shocks! Ngayon ko lang nalaman iyon.

Eggy: Last year pa kaya iyon... Haha. Just like in homework, you don't say homeworks.

I just nodded at what she said. And then suddenly, something hit me in the head. (Please do not take that one literally. =)))

I suddenly remembered my username in Multiply, thesearemystuffs.

Damn! It sounds so wrong doesn't it? =)) I have been using that account since I was in first year high school or I think, grade 7. And I have only realized that mistake awhile ago.

I consider making a new account there but I'll still think about it. =P

Anyway, today's the day.

HAPPY 1ST BLOG ANNIVERSARY TO SIMPLISSITY.BLOGSPOT.COM :)

Bumming Around

Well, here I am bumming around instead of reading the selection for my English homework. It's not going to take long anyway.

Grace, a friend of mine from teentalk IM-ed me and asked me to put her badge anywhere on my blog. So here it goes:



And there it is! Visit her blog if you have time. :>

Gosh. This day was pretty tiring. Today's Wednesday and we had our clubs awhile ago. My job as Circulations Manager already began and it was okay but crazy at the same time. I don't know. Maybe I'm just saying this because it's my first time to be in such position. Anyway, I asked my co-members to bear with me for awhile as I adjust.

It will just take time. I know it will.

One Step A Time

"We live and we learn to take one step at a time,there's no need to rush.

It's like learning to fly or falling in love.
It's gonna happen and it's supposed to happen.
That we find the reason why, one step at a time"
- Jordin Sparks, One Step At A Time

I am very much in love with this song because it has a nice message and I can totally relate to it since I'm the type of person who rushes things a LOT.

But now, I believe that that person has changed already. (: She's not rushing things anymore. (Or at least I know, she's trying not to. Haha.) It is true that we can get or achieve what we want by taking one step at a time.

Just like this week. I'd say this was the best week of the school year so far. There were things that I did not expect that would ever happen to me. Number one, I never thought that I could actually work as an undercover agent. =)) LOL.

So, here's the thing. There's this club in our school called LKAP. (They were holding their 2nd or I think 3rd screening that time.) In our school, LKAP members are like polices. They give warning to the violators or something like that. My friend, Olivia (the same girl who treated us for lunch at Sicillian.:>) who is a member of that club asked me and Jess to connive with her for their screening. She told us to act like we're fighting so that she could test what the auditionees would do. Take note, they don't know that it's a set up.

Anyway, it was really funny while we were doing that. =)) Jess and I were walking along the Calachuchi walk thinking of what we would fight about while waiting for Olivia's signal to start our act.

Minutes later, I received a text message from Olivia that she's on her way with the auditionees. Then Jess and I started our act. =))

Jess: Bakit mo ba ako inaaway ah? Ano bang problema mo?

Me: Huh? Ano bang pinagsasabi mo?

Jess: Wag ka ngang magpanggap na wala kang alam! Sinisiraan mo ako sa mga kaibigan natin. Kina Badette, Ange... Kung anong pinagsasabi mo sa kanila!

Me: Ano?! Wala akong alam diyan!

Jess: Walang alam... Eh ano iyong mga pinagsusulat mo sa blog mo tungkol sa akin?

Me: Wala akong ginagawang ganun!

Jess: Pwede ba Lis, kung may galit ka sa akin. Sabihin mo sa akin hindi iyong binabackstab mo ako! Tapos sasabihin mo pa sa blog mo na sl*t ako!

Me: Punyeta! Sinabi ngang wala akong alam diyan eh!

Jess: Wala raw alam. Eh nakalagay nga sa blog mo eh! Ano ngayon?!

(Note: the lines that were said here were not the exact lines that we actually said)

Olivia and the auditionees were already near us. And unfortunately, I was already running out of lines to say. I just kept on saying "wala nga akong alam diyan eh!"

And then suddenly, I received a text message from Olivia. It read: 'physical abuse'.

Me: *whispers to Jess* Tulak mo ako. Tulak mo ako.

Jess: *pushes me*

Me: Aray! Ano ba?!

And then it worked! >:) Olivia and her two auditionees went near to us. And they did their thing. They tried to stop our 'fight'. Jess and I tried our best to be mataray to them to see how far they could go and if they would cry or not. And luckily for them, they were able to do it right and according to Olivia, they passed! I guess they deserve it. :> But too bad, those two girls got a hunch that it was just a set up. :|

But anyway, it was really fun doing that. After that Jess and I were laughing about it. It really was a nice experience.

That same day, during club time, I found myself volunteering for the Text Manager position. (My club is called the Annual club. Yey! Yearbook! Haha.) As I have said, I'm a very shy and quiet girl in school. I don't usually participate in this kind of thing. I was still in grade 6 when I tried to run for class secretary but I did not win. So after that, I did not try to run for any postion anymore. Whether it is for class or club. But after 5 years, I decided to try again.

The next day came and I found out that I did not get my desired postion but I'm still an officer. I am now the Circulations Manager which is equivalent to the secretary position. Well, I'm still cool with it. :) At least it's something new for me.

Isn't it nice to try something you've never done before? Taking risks is a part of it but it's worth it in the end. It feels so damn good.(:

Finally! I have posted this entry. It was supposed to be posted over the weekend but then I was not able to finish it.

Gosh... School's sucking out the energy in me. T___T

3 days to go before my blog's 1st birthday! =P
