Salamat po, sa lahat. Sobra.

36-hour sem-break

Wow. Unbelievable. Unimaginable.


I never thought I'd go this far - to have only an approximately 36 hours [could be less] of sem break.

Give me a break [literally]. Darn it.

Kakatapos lang ng huli kong finals kaninang umaga. Sa wakas natapos din ang sem na 'to. My worst sem, so far [academically]. Oh no. I have to do good (I mean, better) in order to have decent grades before going into med school. Whew. Hirap.

Speaking of med school, kaya naman 1 & a half days lang sem break ko (specifically from 12 noon kanina hanggang bukas) kasi starting this Sunday up to October 31 (straight ha - no free day), my classmates and I will be attending sessions sa isang review center in preparation for the NMAT (National Medical Admission Test) this coming December. Then we'll have (I think) a 5-day "All Saints' Day Break" tapos yun na naman, review na naman. And immediately after that - enrolment na! Fudge. 'San ka pa.

I just hope I don't break.

And sana maisingit pa namin yung EK plan sa aming sked.

~~~

And to you, my friend - in this very unfortunate day, tulad nga nung napag-usapan natin nila Mameng, everything can happen - and there's always a reason behind it. Amazingly, it's good that in times like this, we now know where and whom to turn to.

Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine.

Flushed away

No more swimming classes

• kakatapos lang ng finals namin sa swimming kanina at sa wakas, tapos na! ang saya talaga.
• I now know how to swim properly
• I can even save lives (naks..feeling lifeguard?!) - Well actually, Advanced Swimming is about basic life-saving techniques
  

Time to remove the excessive melanin on my skin

• Ang itim ko na, super. As in. Pero maraming solusyon diyan. And this is the perfect time para simulan iyon.
• Nothing can stop me - wahahaha
  

No more weekly body aches

• give me a break - no more body massage!
• no more pain relievers
  

Sa lahat ng kaklase ko [except *toot* - joke!] sa ADV-SW (Thu., 10-12), congrats! ang galing galing natin. Sobra. Yihee..!

Dora, ingat ka diyan. Pasalubong! :-) Si Nemo ha, 'wag mo kalimutan. Dapat naka-aquarium ha. Hihihi. :-)

Rosa, sorry sa paghihintay ng matagal kanina.. it's not a good attitude, I know. I'm doing my best para mabago yun.. I'm sure pati si sith ganun din. Sorry ulit!

After watching 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning' with my friends the other day, I was able to look over some of the new animated movie trailers... and Flushed Away was a total shiznit. Super. Eto lang masasabi ko - the maggots [screaming maggots] drove me crazy! Hahaha.. Ang kulet nila. They look like slugs, actually.

Synopsis:

Beneath the streets of London, Roddy St. James (Hugh Jackman) is a pampered pet mouse who thinks he’s got it made. But when a sewer rat named Sid (Shane Richie) --the definition of “low life”--comes spewing out of the sink and decides it’s his turn to enjoy the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the loo for a dip in the “whirlpool.” Roddy’s plan backfires when he inadvertently winds up being the one flushed away into the bustling world down below. Underground, Roddy discovers a vast metropolis, where he meets Rita (Kate Winslet), a street-wise rat who is on a mission of her own. If Roddy is going to get home, he and Rita will need to escape the clutches of the villainous Toad (Ian McKellen), who royally despises all rodents and has dispatched two hapless henchrats, Spike (Andy Serkis) and Whitey (Bill Nighy), as well as his cousin--that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog (Jean Reno) --to see that Roddy and Rita are iced, literally.

WOMBAT (2): Delivered

• A week ago me and some of my friends na 'HP hooked' took the WOMBAT Grade 2 at www.jkrowling.com. Now the results are finally delivered.

• Woohoo! I'm so happy that this time I managed to earn an 'EE'! :-)

Bringing back the 'Potter' in me

Halos anim na taon na rin mula nung una kong narinig ang 'Harry Potter' at namangha kay J.K. Rowling dahil sa kanyang obra. Pero recently medyo parang nawawala na ang grip ko sa topic na 'to.. Ewan ko ba. Ganun lang siguro talaga kahirap mag-aral sa peyups. Parang dementor. It sucks all the happiness in you. Pero okay lang. May chocolates pa naman. :-) Just like this piece of sweet surprise from JK Rowling's site that really brought my feet back sa Wizarding World:

• W.O.M.B.A.T. Grade 2! (Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test)

• Yup. Half-a-year na ang lumipas mula nang magsimula ang WOMBAT na 'to sa site ni Rowling. May entry/post nga ako about dun eh (nasa friendster blog ko pa yata) basta dun ko in-explain kung ano at para saan ang WOMBAT. Ayoko nang ulitin pa. Hehe. Kaka-take ko lang nung exam kanina. Ang hirap, super. Mas mahirap and tricky ang mga questions compared sa una (Grade 1).

• Naku. Baka TROLL na yung makuha kong grade, dito. Wahahaha. (I was given an 'Acceptable' grade on the first one last April).

• [Mabuti na lang pala at naitago ko pa yung Student ID ko]

Try this one:

• QUESTION 18 OUT OF 18:
• Muggles are:
• Ignorant
• In danger
• Inferior to wizards
• Insentitive to their surroundings
• Interesting
• Irritating facts of life
  

- 'San ka pa? Sana ganito rin ang mga klase ng tanong sa mga exams ko this week. Hehehe. :-)

Back to basics

For the past three days I was like, the 'cave man.'
Dahil sa bagyo, tatlong araw din kaming walang kuryente, at tubig. Pati cash, muntik maubos. Mabuti na lang may naitabi pa kami beforehand.
Ano'ng ginawa ko sa tatlong araw na yun?
Eh di wala. Nothing productive.

• Pinilit kong tapusin yung laruan na tulad nung kay Ate Tin ('di ko alam kung ano tawag dun eh, basta puzzle-like siya) pero unfortunately mahirap talaga (or am i really that stupid and impatient..?). Mabuti pa si Kuya Twit nagawa niya agad in just two attempts.. hmp.

• I slept.. and slept.. and slept hanggang sa sumakit na ang ulo ko.

• I dared myself na mag-aral ng Molluscs.. pero wala eh. Lalo lang akong nalulungkot.

• In fairness, medyo nasagutan ko yung Lab Manual ko sa Genetics, though "hindi masyadong pinag-isipan" na answers, okay na. Basta meron. Hehe.

• Physics Lab manual ko hindi ko ginalaw. I hate physics.

• Siyempre kanino ko pa ba itutuon ang pansin ko para medyo matuwa ako kundi sa napaka-cute kong pamangkin.. Hahaha mabuti na lang nandiyan siya at may kalaro ako kahit papano. Haay. Sana ganyan siya for a long time, para nakakatuwa palagi. :-) October 1 na pala ngayon -- 8 months na si Rai! Yihee..

• Sumama ako kila tita para bumili ng tubig (inumin). Ang haba kasi ng pila 'pag dito sa amin kumuha, saka papaubos na rin mga stocks. Sa mall pa tuloy kami bumili. First time ko palang makatikim ng calamares that time. Not bad (well actually 'di ko alam na squid yun nung una kaya ko kinain..).

Nakakatuwa (for me ha) na isipin na for around three days eh muling na-experience ng mga tao kung papaano mabuhay about 50 or 40 years ago.

• Walang kuryente.

• Sa gabi, puro lampara/kandila ang nakasindi.

• Walang masyadong tao sa labas.

• Lahat ng tao may dalang balde tuwing umaga (para umigib).

• Walang cellphone. That was cool. Hahaha. Naka-relate din ako, sa wakas :-)

• No Internet (walang network connection, wala ring magamit na PC)

• Walang malamig na tubig. (Haay halos hindi ko kinaya)

• Walang TV! Goodness. Ang lungkot talaga.

• Lahat ng bata dito sa amin puro Philippine Games ang nilalaro.. nakakatuwa ngang panoorin eh. Para akong nasa probinsiya.

• Maaga kung matulog ang mga tao.

Ako, medyo hirap na sa 3 araw na yun. Papaano pa kaya kung 1960s pa talaga ako nabuhay..? Hmm.. sanayan lang siguro yan. Pero naisip ko lang, yun ang mahirap.
Dahil sa napakaraming mga bagay ngayon na bago, mas madali nang makalimot ang mga tao sa mga bagay na mayroon dati.
Mga bagay na noon ay mahalaga at hanggang sa ngayon ay 'di pa rin dapat kinaliligtaan.
