Crazy UP entry and others
Read this.
UP was my dream school pa naman. Lol. Thought it was noble and everything. But the way UP students commented and flamed each other gave me a bad impression. It’s kinda ridiculous how they’ve made such a big deal on three words: Iskolar ng Bayan. Gosh. It’s just three words.
I also can’t believe that people would take UP centennial as an opportunity to blast the supposedly premier school in our country, and one that bears our country’s name, no less.
But whatever. I don’t like debates unless it’s with my BF. I especially don’t like debates with people I don’t know. And I thought blogging was supposed to be fun, unless you want to divulge corporate secrets.

I’m not the editor-in-chief.
Gosh. I hate it when I expect something and it doesn’t happen. I hate it even more when everyone expects something to happen to me and it doesn’t happen.
But I’m relieved, in a way. I’m kinda freaking out from all those activists in our school. And from the outright responsibility that the position entails.
Besides, our new EIC (Ate Beth) is pretty wise/smart/intelligent. I trust her.
BTW I’m the associate editor.
grades
Just gonna give the percentage equivalent.
Management – 95
Law – 95
Computer – 95
Economics – 95
Financial Accounting 2 – 95
Financial Accounting 1 – 91
Finance – 90
Kinda monotonous.
runescape
On a brighter note… Happy anniversary to me!! I’ve been playing Runescape from a year now. I’ve been transformed from total noob to noob-killer. I’ve mastered the art, baby.
My combat level is now 74. What will it be another year from now?
(my stats..darn i haven’t even reached 800 as total level.)Euuuwwwuuurrrgghhh.
rally
The activist group in our school (the first I ever encountered) is pretty active. They had a rally last month, which I never even found out until I heard they were sent to court or something like that.
Last Tuesday, they had another one while I had PE class. My clanmate texted all of us, “May rally sa main gate!” I was just SO curious that I just had to look. So I walked from the gym to the main gate (see the green line below). And wow, I saw it.
The main gate was closed by the guards and the officers of our school were in the lobby watching them well… do their thing. Ang konte nila. And they kinda looked… funny, screaming like that in the road. But I didn’t see stuff too clearly, I rushed back to class eh.
Just shows how mahina they are. No one heard them from where I was, or even in the dotted overpass. Medyo to scale naman to eh. Pero malabo. 
Ayon. Weak lang pala sila eh, as the guys say.
After class, I immediately got out of the school. (Wala na sa drawing.) Then while I was walking, OhMyGod. Nagpaparada na sila sa Shaw Boulevard. I remember thinking, “Sana sagasaan sila ng mga kotse!” They all looked really grubby because of their torn clothes but I’m not sure if they intended it or not. Well medyo madami din sila. But that was because there were some PUP students there. And they still looked…ugh.
That was the end of it. I hope they get kicked out, or expelled (do those two mean the same thing?), or suspended indefinitely. All in all, I hope they GO AWAY.
Why the ill feelings? First of all, they all look stupid. And super negative ang dating nila sa akin. I guess they just enrolled here to complain? I don’t know why they were WHINING about the littlest of things like receipts or whatever. Live and let live! Yun lang talaga. I think they just enrolled to disrupt everything!
Next, I, along with a lot of students, like being here because there are no people like them. Now they’re wrecking the peace in our school. Our school has never been an activist school… until them. No one complained when they weren’t there. Kasi our school treats us pretty well. Really!
Hay naku, kumukulo na talaga ang dugo ko sa kanila. I’d like to rally against them. Hmmmm maybe I’ll get the chance.
rip-off
On that same day, all I heard in the jeeps I rode in were the Tagalog versions of those hit R&B songs like Low, Umbrella, Sorry Blame it on Me, you name it, they got a Tagalog version. Nasa CD na pala yun. Yuck!
I thought it was kinda cheap, why can’t they make their own music? Nakakahiya naman ang Pilipinas oh! And I hope they bought the rights to those songs from the record companies, because isn’t making another version of an original song illegal? Copyright infringement ba yun?
Most of them were just translated versions of the original songs. When I heard the Tagalog speech before the start of Sorry Blame It on Me, it was so disgusting that I wanted to laugh out loud.
The only one I kinda liked was the Tagalog Low (Lawlaw is the title). It’s pretty funny eh.
PS. Kaya pala nasa CD, album na pala yun!!
Ohhhhh no.
Gosh I lost my green binder notebook thing.
It has 9 fillers inside and I keep all my notes in there.
Ohhhhhh no.
I know exactly where I left it. I put it under my chair before we took our quiz in Law.
Stupid me.
Hope I get it back. My notes in some of my subjects are very valuable.
And mine and my BF’s pics are in there!! Waaaa!
Isn’t it amazing that one little thing manages to cloud your whole mind?
Anak Pawis…. scratch that. ANAK BAYAN! (and others)
July 8, 2008 – Red Shirt Day
Mukhang may mga aktibista na dito.
What happened? Yesterday, a bunch of people wore red shirts and gathered in front of the stage (on one side of our school quadrangle) in a silent protest. Before that, they were asking for support and asking for students to wear red too. OF COURSE I didn’t wear red, I was afraid something would happen to me (I wore our PE uniform).
I saw them on stage at around 3pm. It was pretty freaky. Everyone was watching them and a lot of guards and the head officers of the school were out there. The protesters were insisting that they wanted no chaos, but look at what they did.
I think what they’re trying to protest is pretty stupid. A lot of them came from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, a PUBLIC school known for their very low tuition fees… of course, the rest is subsidized by the government.
So they transferred from there to here. We are a PRIVATE and deregulated school, and they are protesting because of our tuition fee increase. Get the picture? Why did they transfer here? They should be expelled, if you ask me.

I’m so proud. My sister is now the editor-in-chief of the high school newsletter. So proud! But she’s being more of a bitch than ever. Not in terms of being arrogant, but in terms of being mataray.
Imagine if, and only if, I become the editor-in-chief of our college letter? Just a thought.
Estupidha
Just a word for stupid.
I am currently depressed. Yesterday, my boyfriend lent me his hamster (omg) and after a lot of reluctance, I agreed. I had a great time playing with him and his cuteness (hahaha). My sister loved him too. But I was worried coz he was soooo active and he kept on biting everything on sight.
This morning, I kinda panicked because he got out of his shoebox, he ran out of food, and we couldn’t get food downstairs because my parents were there and they didn’t know we were keeping a hamster in the room. God I had a panic attack. I disturbed my BF from his sleep and he talked me down. Good.
But now, it’s even worse. I got home a little late because I was kinda pushed to try out for the Journal (yup I tried it out, and I hope I don’t get to be editor-in-chief). So around 3:30 I got home… and OMG. Peanut (the hamster) got out of the shoebox again. Apparently, he chewed through the biggest hole I re-punched which was the size of a pencil. The little bites of the cardboard were still inside the shoebox, and he managed to get out. OMG.
Oh course, I panicked, and I hunted for him while cleaning our chronically dirty room. Oh no oh no oh no. Then I called my boyfriend and cried. I was soooo sorry. Peanut was his first hamster and the one to stay the longest, I remembered that 3 other hamsters died and he was still alive, and he was really cute and outgoing which was the reason why my BF loves him. His chatnick in our textclan was even Peanut.
But it’s forgivable, I know, I told him we’ll buy another hamster one of these days because I just got my allowance from my scholarship (weeeeeee).
But for now, he is still officially missing, and I left a tiny bit of Stik-O (his favorite) and now I’m hoping that he’ll come back… please come back!

Aside from being stupid, I feel really down in the dumps.
My 2 friends got full academic scholarships because of the average for the second sem last school year (1.4 for both). My average was WAAAAAY lower than that (but still enough to keep my scholarship 
). Yup, I already have a scholarship. But it’s still depressing.
