| Scared that I Might Forget |
[02 Apr 2004|07:01pm] |
Sorry, I haven't had time to update and all. But right now, I guess it's not just about making it up to you that I should do. Well, mostly I'm concerned about not letting my memories be forgotten. Thus the novela starts.
[ Exams ]
Starting that timeframe, everyone started being sentimental and all. Yes, even me. Most of the time, I'd find myself at night involuntarily letting my tears fall. Sometimes I think that it's all about the heat of the summer. But I chknow somehow it's gotta do something about the end of high school.
Last Angelus, last recess, last lunch, last Lupang Hinirang, last days with my friends (well, I thought they were)... Everything seemed to be last as the exams slowly crept into the picture. Well, after all the sentiments came the sudden panic to study. As for me, I'd say that I didn't really study for the exams. In fact, I stayed at some friends' houses, somehow wanting to spend more time with them, or maybe because somebody borrowed my notes for Fili (hehe), or maybe because I desired to help my busmates pass Math... by tutoring them (even though sometimes I seemed to talk to myself for most of the time).
Yabang ko... hehe.
Anyway, exams... Filipino and Religion first. I got everything mixed up in Fili; na-mindblock ako, sobra. Funny thing was that I resorted to Eenie-Mini-Minie-Moe or to pointing at a random point on my questionaire and looking at the letter nearest to it. Hehe... About Religion, I really felt bad when I was taking it. In fact, I think I got a mild migraine during the test. As usual, shotgun was the thing to do for some few numbers. And we had to write about this certain person whom I did not know of. Medyo bola tuloy yung laman ng essay ko, hehe. God loves us all and we should love God, and that is in helping others!... Bleh.
Anyway, next up was Math. Stayed at my friends' place, tutoring them. One the day of the exams, it was like a piece of cake. Yabang ulit. Not much to worry or write about.
Last was English and Science. English, I panicked through 2 articles. I know how bad I am in comprehension and vocabulary, and that's why I kinda breezed through the articles... thinking that there won't be any help in trying to actually understand the thing. And I think I used a very wrong argument for my debate thingy. Shet... I think I failed it. Especially the fallacy thingy portion wherein I canyoned a whole bunch of crap onto the blanks... :D Anyway...
And all of a sudden, the school year ended with a bell. Shet... After that we hanged around outside the classroom, some reminiscing, then headed onto Blueskies at Katipunan. We waited for some time since Blueskies was all clottered up til we were all seated. They played Warcraft (Frozen Throne, I guess), but since I never really learned how to play it well I had to resort playing Ragnarok alone. Augh. Don't mention it.
[ Clearance and all that stuff ]
Well, there's really nothing worth mentioning here coz it happens every end of year. So, anyway, moving on.
[ Sleepover at Cid's House ]
After the clearance thingy, Rene, Patrick, Victor and I went for a sleepover at Cid's house. Cid's mom, Tita Juliet, was so nice. --> referring to the Gonuts Donuts part, hehe. No, really she was so nice to really mind us. There, Victor sang the night away on the Karaoke, Rene reading a manga, Cid playing Ragnarok and Battle Realms, Patrick playing only the latter, me bullshitting Rene (as I was in a bad mood, and for that I wanna say sorry again) and listening to Incubus' "A Crow Left of the Murder" and whining that I could hardly breathe properly. Oh yeah, we also watched American Pie 3. Funny shit. Everyone soon dropped to sleep. Rene though stayed up until dawn watching Chobits (mali yata yung spelling... hehe). Morning, abundant breakfast. Afterwards, we went to the village courts; Rene struggled with Victor in a game of badminton (hehe lolz) and Patrick and Cid went one-on-one basketball. As for me, I was still sulking the day away. We then headed for G4 (if I remember it right) and watched "Cheaper by the Dozen." Hilary Duff's so... ahem. Anyway... I finally stopped the sulking business when I got all shaky with Ju-On (The Grudge 2). Freaky shit. Had dinner at a japanese restaurant and went home.
[ Restarted at Ragnarok ]
I actually started playing again since I wanted to help my friends who were already in a guild, headed by Rene. But since I was shitting him out the other day with this Ragnarok Offline thingy, I was left all alone...again. Leveling up on my own when I thought RO was a game revolving around friendship. Everyone was so busy; kaya pala kasi orders ni Rene not to help me. Buti na lang sinabi sakin ni Miko. Notice the irony?...
Anyway, that's done. Sorrys said. I really wanted to be mage but my instincts told me there was more to be in being an acolyte. Right now, I'm trying to make a priest so I can help the guild. I'm actually not getting Magnus Exorcismus because I'm plainly dumb. Maybe I'm dumb enough to prioritize my friends over my own killings. I hope they understand why I chose this when I could be a wizard. Right now, I have 12 job-ups to go before I become a priest. yey!
[ Sleepovers at Jake's House ]
Doofus is bound to do recording in a week's time. We'll be recording April 12-16. We've been trying to practice our songs. Unfortunately, we end up just jamming and bumming around. But it's fun anyway so I guess there's no actual harm in it. Hey, I'm already doing drums. Pero mas magaling pa rin si Jake e. I'll try doing drums again soon on the next sleepover, if ever there will be one again.
[ GradBall ]
Well, the gradball went over fine. Unlike the previous year, I had a date this time, Michi. She was wearing a dark violet dress and I was in a black coat and silver tie. Medyo hindi bagay pero okay lang naman yung picture namin. I actually felt kind of stupid that I wasn't able to entertain her enough, as we already ran out of things to talk about since we drained everything on the way to the NBC tent, the venue for the graduation ball.
The two of us had a good time. And I felt a lot better when she told me she had fun, especially during the dance. Well, to be honest, I actually felt stupid there in the middle of the dancefloor. She was a dancer and to much misfortune I am so NOT... ahahaha... I can still remember how wide my classmates' smiles were, somehow telling me that I indeed made a fool of myself.
Anyway, I felt bad afterwards the ball. The class has agreed to go stag; also I thought I should go for my classmates. But anyway, look on the bright side: at least I know how it is to go stag and with a date. It was such a good experience.
[ GradPractice ]
For two days, we attended the graduation practice sessions. It was plainly stupid since everything could've been over in an hour of talk. What happened was that the whole batch really had to go upstage and bow. As Mr. Mallilin puts it, we should know how it is to bow. Wow, man... Reaching fourth year and not knowing how to bow. Well, he was kinda right: there were some few who did not really know how to bow the human way... ;p
[ Bacc. Mass and Graduation ]
The days passed and without my noticing it was already graduation day. Morning: we went to Mass for the last time as a class. People were becoming sentimental, especially Toff who kept taking pictures of everyone. After the mass, there was a mini salu-salo. I skipped it to get my gradball pictures. To my disappointment, the Gonuts Donuts boxes were already empty. Stooopid me! Anyway, I got the pictures right before going home. Lala... hehehe. And I kind of envy my classmates who were in the stag group pic. I could've been with them. Argh... No regrets now. But I just can't help it.
That afternoon, we graduated. It was all all over. Those four years in just getting our diplomas and with a bow; high school ended. After the ceremonies, everyone started taking more pitures, sentiments were seeping in slowly, hugging, handshakes, laughter and concealing tears. Well, actually I was kind of crying inside. I couldn't believe it was all over.
Anyway, oh yeah, I got second honors for the final exams and second honors for graduation. Ooh, for someone who rarely studies. hehe... My bad.
[ Sleepover at Rene's House ]
For no apparent reason, I slept over at Rene's house. Well, sige na nga, I wanted to play my acolyte sana, pero it just so happened that the DSL was not working. So no RO... for 3 days and 2 nights.
Anyway, it was still fun. I kinda missed my best friend after a while na rin kasi e. Wow, I'm starting to be conyotic, hehe... Anyway, so there. I spent most of the time sleeping or somehow annoying Rene by poking him. :D hehe Or eating, or listening to Rex and punk music, or nonsensely playing WarCraft when I know I'd lose anyway. Oh yeah, I lost total of 5 times in a row, meaning I played 5 stupid games with the computer. I just don't understand why I'm such a loser in these PC games stuff. Those 3 days I missed -- and I really mean I MISSED! -- playing Ragnarok.
Grrrr... And I can't believe my I only played 3 hours for a 100-peso load. Argh. Oh well. I even wanted to go on for 1 night but I had to go home lest I wanted to die too soon. Hehe... Well, I just miss my friends, that's all. Life is so boring without them. Moreso is summer. Summer days are normally the worst days of my life.
And needless to say, Rene and I blabbed the days away with how good he draws. He's been busy with his manga. Well, he's remembering stuff again. Parang ako rin. Well, kind of. He's thinking most of the time about this someone and I can only keep on advising him stuff... Bleh bleh. Anyway, don't wanna delve in deeper into that.
[ Don's Party at Afrodisia ]
Don celebrated his graduation with a party at Afrodisia Grill at Greenhills. Well, funny thing there was that as if he was the only one who graduated. hehe... Anyway, I ate a lot, medyo food trip na rin kasi reason why I went there. I felt kinda weird coz I had this feeling that I had to talk to a couple of girls. Kung bakit ba naman kasi katabi ko at iniwanan ni Raf e. Oh well, I had to finally give in. I talked to Rio and Arie (who are from Poveda, and I think I've met them from a soiree; I got this problem with memory recall kasi, as I don't really remember girls' names) through a game of pusoy. Well, I ran off early coz as I've said I needed to go home early.
Oh and have I mentioned that before we went there we passed by Timezone. There just happened to be this girl playing at Percussion freaks. She's good at drums. hehe... Medyo ironic for someone like me talaga, someone who's planning to be a priest. Bleh, anyway... there goes that crap. Oh yeah, don't ask me about the priesthood thingy coz after a while it gets kinda annoying.
Bleh... Bullsh...
[ What now? ]
English wearing off. Pinoy mode muna ko. Kanina lang na-approve na yung scholarship appeal ko. Nagbigay kasi ako ng appeal letter, kasi na-waitlisted yung application ko. Kanina lang, tinawagan ako ng isang representative ng Ateneo. Sabi sakin, nakakuha daw ako ng 100% scholarship. Reaction ko naman: SHET!!!!!!!!...... tapos YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Uh, don't mind me) Well, at least I won't get separated from my friends, especially my best friend. La lang. English mode na naman? Eh.... argh... Taglish na nga lang. Well, yon... Feeling ko tuloy I'm the luckiest kid for the day. Kid kasi I don't wanna refer to myself as a man. I miss my childhood. Parang nararamdaman kong tumatanda nako with the mrer thought that I'm about to enter college. Ok lang, high school kalokohan pa rin naman kahit college na e, with people like Rene and Pendix for classmates?... hehehe... saya. Anyway, that also means na the band thing continues. Medyo malabo pa nga lang rin kasi UP pala si Erik. Pero, kaya pa rin yan. Uhm, why do I feel like I'm just ranting?...
Oh shet. Ang haba na pala nito. Oh well, kung nakaabot ka to this point, masasabi ko: ang tiyaga mo. I tend to write lonbg stuff. Especially when recalling. Wala pa nga to sa kalahati e.
Anyway, if there's something you wanna add, please do so. Comment with what I left out. Remind me please of stuff worth remembering. Coz I don't want to forget. Oh and thanks...(",)
