| A Bit of Rest |
[Aug. 7th, 2008|09:02 am] |
The recent days have been very hectic...
Not much freedom in my schedule and plenty of things to do...
Unfortunately that's a trend that's about to continue :P
I have 3 exams coming up, and a Chem experiment that seems pretty hard...
Worst of all- No football for so long! XP I'm deprived.
...I'm actually doing some Comm3 work right now...
Thankfully though, things can't be as bad as the past weeks have been. And I'm not talking about the debut most of us went to... :) I enjoyed that night..! ...in all honesty the drinks were great. XP thanks Chiara for everything. I wish things could've been better that night, but I know you still got a pretty good debut! :P really belated happy bday...
...
Haa... It's been hard coming to grips with my lolo's death... We didn't even have a wake or any of those novena stuff after. My lola wanted it to be quick and personal... I've lost my biggest sports buddy. :( We used to watch all the games together, UAAP in particular... It's only fitting that the last game we watched together was UP's first win in 2 years! ...and that he died on the afternoon of an Ateneo win. :) I grew up watching and cheering for ADMU with him... He would've been happy to see the result if he lived a few more hours...
:( I miss my lolo. It's weird not seeing him at the end of our family dinner table... Or seeing him stand at the porch to wave goodbye to us when we go home... Most of all it's weird not getting to sit down at the sala and watch games with him anymore... It feels so empty in that room now... Haa... I hope he's happy up there in heaven where he can watch over his family and friends and his sports with my other lolo and all my departed relatives... :) He deserves his bit of rest.
My tito, the eldest son, inherited the head of the dinner table by the way... So logically, one day, I'll be sitting there as the eldest son. It might be a long time in coming, but I hope I do my lolo proud as the "head of the family" one day.
....
Haba naman ng post na 'to. :P Oh well.
Back to work! ...hopefully not for too long. I need a bit of rest myself. XP

I am the worst football player in our group.
At least at the position I grew up in...
As a Forward:
Good Top Speed
Average Agility
Average Acceleration
Average Balance
Average Strength
Poor First Touch
Poor Close Control
Poor Awareness
Very Poor Mid-range Shooting
Very Poor Long-range Shooting*
Very Poor Aerial Presence*
Also prone to EXTENDED scoring droughts.
Stamina is inconsistent.
Not a very happy teammate.
*Arguably Worse than VERY POOR
_________________
...From now on, I solemnly pledge to take up a midfield role.
...And stop sucking as a forward. :(
Maybe I never should've taken up Rooney as my idol after Zidane retired.

Grabe. I really need to pick up a win. XP the end of AFC (for me) is on thursday... O___O Sina Pierre and company have the festival to end their module on a high... I only have a game left. Haa... And I'm not playing bad pa naman... But nothing great/match-winning whatever.
Sana in my last game I can put out one big match-winning performance...
Note:
Lol. Lost to JK's team today. XD first win ni JK! congrats...

4 make-up essays ( I don't even know what the fourth one's for! and what it's about! XP )
7-page book report, in Filipino
Grad pix for teachers
STR thank you letter
TCWAG
Bio Requirements
I was well on track to finish them all this week... Even with my fever on monday... Finish all the essays on tuesday, pass on wednesday... Buy TCWAG, finish STR on wednesday... Finish bookreport wednesday night, pass on thursday... That leaves me two days for miscellaneous clearance, plus helping out with gradball... Then guess what!
The bloody annoying virus/bug/illness whatever comes back to bite me on tuesday... So I'm alternating between bed and bathroom for 6-7 hours straight in the afternoon... Wake up on wednesday with absolutely no energy whatsoever, stomach's still bloated and stomach still feels like rejecting whatever tiny thing enters it... Up to now I still can't eat. :(
Haay... The best laid plans of mice and men... XP I don't even know how bad the consequence of un-clearedness is... Bye bye pleasant summer... I should've been more responsible from the beginning. :(
Well... Back to wrapping up the 3rd essay and a science scholar opinion...

| Intrams Drama XD |
[Mar. 11th, 2008|09:13 am] |
First of all, you know you're really beat up... When it hurts more to sit than to stand... XD
Congratulations YELLOW team! 2-1 winners over Orange. XD Worthy worthy worthy champions... They had to go through Violet and Orange to get to the top, and both teams definitely aren't pushovers. :)
Haha one of my greatest regrets graduating... Will be never having a real chance to play football with Jon... :P He could've been better than all of us who play regularly... If only he wasn't so good at basketball too. XD
At least Jon got to show us some of his skill this intrams... And definitely all of his leadership. The yellow guys were the most organized team we went against. :)
Well, I still believe we had the BEST guys team in the tournament! Really.
Statistics-
Games played: 4
Goals: 6
Goals per game: 1.5
Goals conceded: 0
Conceded per game: 0
Lance Co Ting Keh- 1 goal, 1 assist, 3 games
Matthew Gana- 4 goals, 1 assist, 4 games
Michael Non- 1 goal, 1 assist, 4 games
James Fajardo- 3 clean sheets, 3 games
Monmon Mejia- 1 clean sheet, 1 game
...and of course, everybody else contributed too... :D Noel especially!
...as for our girls, well, it's amazing how far they got without any real laab members on their team (although Athena's got to count for something). Hey, they only gave up two goals in the whole tournament. Sayang na lang finals ung two goals na un... XD
Ang haba na ng post, add na lang ako eventually... :D go ogmeme!

| After Three Long Years... |
[Mar. 10th, 2008|07:45 am] |
Three years! the amount of time it took for me to get back to the football semifinals of the intrams... At the start of 4th year pa lang, when I saw Non beside me, inisip ko na, this might be the year... When the intrams lineups came out, inisip ko na din, this might be the year...
Well, yeah!! Nakapasok na ang Orange sa semifinals ng football... It would be nice to play in the finals, but honestly, it's great just being one of the "better" teams out there. It's nice to make it to the next level...
Thoughts:
Jestine is still a DOMINANT force in women's football...
But now she has company. :D Muon and Tau are supplying women's football with genuine competition to Jestine's Godlike-ness.
Kev can score from anywhere. He can release rockets with BOTH feet. O___O wish I had skill like that... Kulang na lang ung breakaway move... (but it might be better for us if he learns that after the intrams XD)
...will add more tomorrow... :)

| Write-ups due tomorrow?? Oh noes. O___O |
[Mar. 2nd, 2008|05:08 am] |
I just realized I don't have any. Haha 'cause I lost all of the old ones when I got my own laptop... I'll go check later if they're still on the main PC, but I think my sister deleted 'em all for extra gaming space. *tenk* XP
Wahaha. Oh well. :)
Oh, and thanks to Kev and his (unbelievably patient) family for Friday-Saturday. Good kimchi. hehe :D

| It's just Ink on Cardboard... XP |
[Feb. 27th, 2008|06:26 am] |
Wala lang. Everybody's killing themselves over their final grades and stuff...
If we mess up this one last time, and mess up our last report cards, our futures in college might be adversely affected... And then maybe postgrad work... And then maybe our jobs. After all, good grades will always be a stepping stone leading to success in life.
But you know what? Even if we miss the stepping stone... Success is still there... We just gotta climb up to it on our own. :)
We might fail math. We might fail physics... But I honestly believe nobody's going to end up failing in life. :) 10 years from now at our reunion we'll all be pretty successful/happy!
We shouldn't let a bit of ink on some white cardboard bring us down... :D As a wise friend once said: "We still have the rest of our lives ahead of us" :D

[Feb. 26th, 2008|06:23 am] |
Last perios this week! XP Happy and sad. Well, mainly because nobody's ever happy when it's perio time. :P argh.
Math scores are out already! XP oh noes. I have a sad, sinking feeling that I went down and failed this quarter. :( I suck at integrals. Oh well! There's no way I'll be needing too much calculus in the future anyway... :) Heh. And it's just a number... (which my parents will skin me for)
Need to finish my make-up English and Filipino requirements too... Haay.
*Bright spot of the week*
Manchester United 5 - 1 Newcastle
(Idol) Rooney scores two on a tap-in and a zomg-fantastic curling shot. :D
Back to studying...

| The Last Day (Mismo) :P |
[Feb. 25th, 2008|12:01 am] |
Didn't have much class. First walkout in math that I can really remember for this year... Although it doesn't really count because Sir Petri told us in advance and we knew where he was during that period... Nothing happened in ComSci, and then we had our comprehensive exams in STR. Hehe Long and boring comprehensive exams... Oh well.
NO physics also! It's almost as if the last day was only for PE...
Hehe and PE was totally worth it! :D We beat two of the best softball teams in our batch, Truth boys and Photon boys (and Photon was undefeated!) Hehe Go Gluon- one of the best guy's softball sections. I'm really happy I got to be part of all that... XD even if my best game was the one we lost (to Charm).
Tas exciting last normal football game... XD
Controversial goal from Jon (may instant replay pa daw sa sky!), super-control move ewan from Lori, unbelievably long-range shot from Pierre, fantastic assist to Steven from Tone (who was our keeper!), a funny own goal, and two batchmates taking pictures in the middle of the field... Even a fight! From me and Bryan! XD haha sorry Bryan. :P
final score 5-4 in favor of the team I was in... :D yehey. Normal days finish with a win and a hattrick for me... :D
...
Di ko pa nauupload ung mga pics na kinuha ko all day (until PE tau-electron. ran out of battery)... Because I still haven't charged the camera.
Oh well. Study study. Last perios next week! :D

| Last Normal Day Tomorrow |
[Feb. 21st, 2008|07:42 am] |
Haha. I posted this without finishing it... Then I couldn't find the delete button because of my background. Oh well, now I know where it is. :P
Time flies! It only seems like a short time ago that I entered Pisay in incomplete uniform... After missing the first official schoolday of our first year. :)
Soon it will all be over. :P In fact, tomorrow is the last normal academic day of our Pisay lives... The last time we will all have our regular classes and breaks... haha :D
good memories of "normal" school days...
-Walking out/Hiding from Sir Ayende in first year... :D
-All the breaks during SocSci from 1st to 3rd quarter in first year...
-Being disappointed with a 2.00 in Math. O___O
-The cooking project...! :D
-Javert as homeroom advisor. XD Hehe Couples List..! XD
-DAILY after-class soccer with JK/Pierre and others... :D (BEST MEMORY!)
-YMSAT Flash Project with Jay and Dean. How did we survive?!?
-Trying not to fall asleep in p6 (guilloreza! XP) and bio second year.
-Our SocSci project being called B.S... :P
-"I have dreamed of a modern Japan..."
-Filming (and ghost-hunting! :D) in third year...
-Engjourn1. Seriously. Weirdest class ever. :P
-The stupid name game played with Baktol/Kenneth in bio.
-Basketball wtih Mac2 and company after class...
-Hanging out with Rb at the grandstand once... good memory. :)
-Neil. Non. Mon2. In general. :)
-Laab/Labuyo (DEAD) practice. :P basically playing with the best "teammates" ever...
-Instant noodles lunch with Mon2... I will miss this.
-All the random Gaz crap. :D Too many to mention, but all the singing sticks out. :P
-Magic/WoW/Smash Bros. :D
-Trying to say hello. :P
This sounds really emo... But I'm getting a huge laugh out of remembering all this stuff...
Especially the Second Year crap. :) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...
For such a lousy section... Galing... XD hehe remember filming Mark's "backhanded no-look" save... And 16 vs 5... The debut of the term "Swarm"... Dan Ramos and the random Asian Spirits kung fu (plus the song!) :D motherf#!&ing flash project... :P
LOOONG POST. :P okay. good night. :D
