No classes today. Doing something. Anything that will less that boredam sickness.
I just visited FS. Reminiscing, you know. I really miss everything about that site. It's memorable for me because that was my first social networking site (besides Yahoo). I read the comments from friends and most of whom I missed was Faye. |=I am craving for Faye's attention now.Anyway, Faye is a friend from Novaliches. It's a long time since we had conversations. I effin missed her. She gave advices, she teach photoshop and java.. everything. She's a great web designer and I admire her for that. We had a great friendship though I never meet her personally. Recently, I add her on my Facebook account but I'm still on the "awaiting friend request." Balderdash. Maybe she almost forgot everything about US. But still in my heart she's going to be a part of my life, whatever happens.
I am BACK, ofcourse. I really missed blogging! Anyway, its been a long busy time for all of us. Well as I told you lately we practice a lot for that competition (Talking Tableau), we studied much for that examination (Our Last First Periodic Test), but we are not finish yet because the National Career Assessment Examination was rescheduled in September. It’s for good, maybe. So eto na,
About the Talking Tableau: We started our rehearsals since the 3rd day of August and until the 26th. Therefore, we had 9 practices. 50+ in the class, we are only 24 in the tableau. Though we are only 24 (maximum of contestants is 25), we still find a way to make our concept the best. We do this with the help of God, of our beloved adviser, and of course the pasimuno of our concept, our trainor kuya Ersan. Maybe we cannot do everything without the help of these people.
August 25, 2010. We had the rehearsal in the gymnasium. We watched the tableau of the juniors and our siblings IV-Saint Peter. I was dreadful that time; they were good. At katulad nga ng inaasahan, kinabahan na kami.
August 26, 2010. The school practiced for the whole program (isahang awit, sayaw interpretasyon, andtalking tableau). After we performed, we immediately go back in HS department because of our Periodic Performance in Values Education. Unfortunately, our group just got the lowest place. But it was okay then. After the class hours, we had our last practice for tableau. Kuya Ersan advised us that what we need to do is the necessary, not the best. Then he and our beloved adviser break the silence by their words of wisdom (naks).
August 27, 2010. This is the day of settlement. At early at 9 am we started to fix our hair, arranged our dress, etc. Our trainor told us not to eat 2 hours before the competition and so we don’t. We had a little tampo with our B.A. because of some misunderstanding. At exactly 1 pm, all of the high school students went to the gymnasium. The program started. My classmates and I had little conversations and laugh trips. We are the contestant number 4, when the contestant number 3 started, our adviser told us to internalize. Then we are called. I am shivering and I don’t know why. *laughs* As our trainor told us “Do what is necessary. Huwag yung best. Ibinibigay niyo nga yung best niyo e hindi naman ‘yon yung necessary.” So I do what is necessary. We gave our emotions and everything. After we performed, I feel well maybe it was because we were finished. Then after the intermissions and bla bla blah, every constestant that won were called. The Talking Tableau contestants are the next. 3rd place goes to third year Saint John. 2nd place goes to third year...After we heard that the 2nd place was third year we were once full of fear and tears. (yung pumasok sa isip namin nun ay 1st yung Saint Peter kaya hindi na namin alam gagawin, natakot kami na hindi pala kami matatawag) Saint Luke. Our first place goes to.. the judge stop and explain that in every contest there is a winner. alam niyo kasi napapalakpak talaga yung audience kahit bawal pumalakpak e, patatagalin ko pa ba e kanina pa tumataas yung banner nila. 1st place goes to fourth year Saint Paul.We were full of happiness, as in super happiness. Parang Coke. While we are running through the stage we heard the cheer of our classmates (Saint Paul! 3x).
Hanggang sa pagbalik namin sa campus (HS department) super saya pa rin ng buong section.
F.Y.I.
Our talking tableau piece is Bangon by Rico Blanco and we need to cry so that we prepare for the internalization.
Sa school namin, everytime na may competition bawal pumalakpak after every contestants. Naaabala daw kasi yung judge.
Kami lang yung section na gumawa ng banner. Tatlong banner yun (Bangon piPAUL, BeautiPAUL, tapos yung isa kung anu-ano nakasulat). Bukod dun meron pang 4 typewriting nakasulat P A U L tsaka D A V E (si Dave yung classmate ko na sumali sa isahang awit).
Every after practice we pray, we pray before leaving our classroom, we pray two times before we start performing, we pray after we performed. We were full of prayers.
I won't be blogging for two to three weeks. This is all about my hectic schedule. My August schedule? Too busy to blog. Err. This week we are going to have a restless practice for the Talking Tableau competition this coming Buwan ng Wika. As a fourth year student, we need to get the victory. =) Yay, 4th year Saint Paul, especially. Then on Saturday I am going to MC to pass my University of the Philippines College Admission Test. Let's pray for me guys. The next week we're going to have a long reviews for the National Career Assessment Exam (NCAE). We need to get serious about this exam for the sake of our College careers. Third week is our First Periodic Examination, another exam to pass. August 24, 2010 is our rest day, thanks to God. August 25, 2010 is the NCAE. And the competition? 4th week of August. So let's pray for a good resultant of everything. We can do this with full hope and of course, God's support. Goodnight guys.
I am RANDOM that day. It was full. Full of happenings, surprises, and emotions.
Nung araw na 'to, ang tanging plano lang namin ay ang magsaya. =) Manood ng sine at kumain sa bahay namin. Alas dose pa lang ng tanghali ay nasa mall na 'ko, kung saan kami manonood ng sine. 12:30 ang usapan.
Nagpauna na 'ko para makapagpa-reserved ng cake at makabili ng snacks. Umakyat na ko sa taas, sa tapat ng movietime kung saan kami manonood ng sine. First to arrive, ay ang pare kong si Gary. Nauna pa siya sa'kin noon kahit na 12:30 ang usapan. Dahil may event sa The Event Center, sumulyap muna kami doon para medyo malibang. Gutom. Nagutom na din kami sa kadahilanang wala pa ni isa sa'min ang kumain ng tanghalian. Bumili na ko ng drinks sa baba tapos kinaen ko na din yung ibang pagkain. Tik, 1:00. Tok, 1:30. Isa't kalahating oras na kaming nakatayo, nakatanga. Pagod na paa at kumakalam na sikmura. Napakatagal nila.
Sa kasamaang palad, kinailangan nilang magpalit noon ng sasakyan, umulan kasi. Bago mag-2:00pm ay nakarating na din sila. Sa wakas. =) Pagdating nila, nanood agad kami ng sine entitled Cinco. Napakagandang pelikula mula sa magagaling na direktor: Frasco Mortiz, Enrico Santos, Ato Bautista, Nick Olanka, at Cathy Garcia-Molina.
Pagkatapos manood umalis na agad kami dahil mahaba pa ang byahe. Halos 50minutes din yun, may katagalan at kainipan din dahil nun lang makakarating yung mga kasama ko sa'min. Iba na yung lugar. Puro damuhan at puno na, may mga factories din. Bihira na sila makakita ng buildings. Sa bawat kilometro maririnig mo na yung mga tanong na "Malapit na ba tayo?", natatawa pa nga ako kapag kinukumpara nila yung byahe namin sa mga horror films. Ipapasalvage ko daw sila. Natatawa na nga lang ako e. Laugh trip kami sa sasakyan. Sa Wakas. Nakarating din kami sa'min. =) Yung mga kasama ko, imbis na unahin yung pagkain, nung nakakita na ng baraha, hindi na nila nabitawan yun. Bla bla bla... May kainan, inuman, asaran, tawanan, at tawagan. Oo tawagan. Tinawagan namin yung barkada namin na nasa Canada na. Good thing at nagising siya. GV naman ang comments ng mga pamilya ko, nakipagkwentuhan pa sila bago umalis. Medyo nagtagal din yun. Kahit gabi na malakas pa din mga energy nila. Umuwi sila. Naglinis kami ng bahay. Humiga na 'ko, relax. Nakatulog ako bago pa matapos ang Birthday ko, 11:34:14pm.
ABOUT THE PICTURE: Una ko 'tong nabasa sa libro kong Bakit Baligtad Magbasa Ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino?, masterpiece yan ng isang babaeng nagsulat sa tissue sa bar somewhere in QC ata at ngayon ko lang nalaman na nagkalat na din pala ng lagim ang nasabing babae sa Facebook. Imagine kung paanong nakakaya ng babaing 'yan ang ingles niya. Nasa tamang edad na naman siya siguro, pero bakit ganon!? Sa totoo lang kasi, okay lang naman mag-ingles basta alam mo kung ano yung sinasabi mo at dapat alam mo kung ano ang tamang pagkakabigkas o pagkakasulat nito. E ang sama ng ingles niya e, sana nagtaglog na lang siya... at mas masama pa, hindi lang siya yung nakabasa ng sinulat niya, napakaraming Pilipino na.
Sa mga natitirang Pilipino pa diyan, magising na po tayo. 'Wag na lang siguro MUNA hangga't hindi pa natin kaya --ang magsalita ng wikang hindi atin. =) Bow.
What a very busy day!? Class hours discussion, Election of club officers, and CAT Fomation. Plus a 75minutes ride way back to home. Puro pagod talaga but there are three good N's. =D
* Nagkaroon ako ng kaalaman about new lessons. * Nakapasa ko sa Non-academic at Academic club. (plus officer pa.) =D * Natuto ang mga bravo privates (4thyear) about facing.
Kung isisipin mo yung mga kapalit ng pinagpaguran mo, good karma naman talaga. Masaya din dahil hindi lang para sa'yo yung pleasure pero para din sa iba. Natuto ako... hindi lang dahil sa discussions kundi dahil na rin sa mga araw-araw na experiences ko sa buhay. =D Gain things. Learn from it.
Yours truly, Mind my Business. Ü
