Who'd have thought it? I thought I was going to fail JP for sure then I got blessed by the Almighty God above and guess what happened instead? I BECOME A FRICKIN' DEAN'S LISTER.

Far too shocked to really say anything...yeah.

Later.

Hello. So finally ginalaw ko na rin to after some time. Medyo kasi wala naman akong masabi. Tapos na ang pasok. Summer na. Wehehehehehe!! Happy ako siyempre. Weeeeeh!!!

So anyway, ano nga bang bago? Eto, nagtutusta nanaman ako ng mata at brain cells sa harap ng computer. Nakaupdate na ko ng dalawa kong fanfic. Nakasulat uli ako kagabi. I have about four fanfics to update if I'm not mistaken. It's all going well I suppose.

Nagcocontribute nga pala ako ng mga stuff sa site na to: Nagareboshi Destiny. Isa siya sa mga website ng friend ko sa Net at tungkol siya sa Sailor Starlights. Basically, gumawa na kami ng sarili naming history ng Sailor Starlights dun at marami pang mga bagong Sailor Senshi ng Kinmoku. Kung wala lang kayong magawa punta kayo para masaya. Sign din kayo ng guestbook kasi wala pa siyang laman ^^;;;; Hehehehehehe!!!

Kuhanan ng cards namin sa Filipi1 ngayon. Arrrgh...bakit kasi di na lang sumabay sa Monday di ba? Kinakabahan pa rin ako sa JP pero feeling ko parang okay na ang lahat...at mas nakakataot yun. Hindi ako dapat kampante tungkol dun. Hindi ako dapat umaasa sa mga mirakulo na hindi naman pala totoong mangyayari, pero umaasa ako e. Bahala na.

Balik blogging na uli si Bom. Yey!! Last day na rin ng exams niya ngayon. Good luck po sa inyong Physics exam. Sabi ko nga kahapon, kaya mo yan!! ^_^

Si Hyde nakita ko sa Animax kahapon. Yung video ng kanta niyang "Horizon". Cinut pa ng mga anak ng jueteng na yun. Arrrrrgh...sobrang ikli lang ang pinakita. Tapos tawa ako ng tawa sa boyband na Arashi. Sobra...lahat talaga ng boyband sa Japan medyo...parepareho ang tunog tsaka may pagkabading ang mga dance moves. Hyde and Gackt rules talaga. Nakarining ako ng kanta ng Lunasea at Pierrot recently. Galing! Download niyo "Gravity" ng Lunasea! Astig talaga!!

Kailangan ko nang magbago ang blogskin. Medyo laos na si Legolas e. Hindi ko talaga magets kung pano yung sa Daydream Graphics. *sigh* Tapos tinotopak ata ang blogskins.com. So yun. Baka ilagay ko na lang dito yung Gackt layout ko dun sa isa ko pang blog na hindi ko naman ginagamit na.

Siya sige. Byeee na ulit. ^_^ Hanggang sa susunod.

Happy Summer sa inyong lahat.

Papasa akong JP. Sana naman talaga...please lang.

*yawn*

Congratulations sa dalawang graduate ngayong araw: ang kapatid kong si Noel at si Bom. ^_^ Si Noel High School na next year. Si Bom naman wala nang ROTC next term. Buti pa siya.

Ngayon nga rin ang Finals namin sa ROTC. Grabe. Sakit sa tenga ng firing. Akala ko nga dudugo na kanina yung tenga ko e. Nabingi talaga ko sa firing range kanina. Malupet. Kawawa naman yung mga tao sa gitna. Siguradong nagulantang ng todo-todo yung mga eardrums nila kasi from both sides talaga yung mga putok di ba? Sa tabi pa nga lang parang sobrang mawawala na talaga yung mga eardrums ko e. Nawalan ako ng pandinig for about three hours sa isang tenga dahil sa firing na yan. At least nakatama ako sa target! Yun ang maganda dun! ^_^

As for Land Navi, masaya siya kasi mabilis pa tapos natest yung climbing abilities ko. Medyo kasi mabundok yung lugar e. Sobrang dapat alam mo kung saan tatapak. Thankfully hindi naman ako nahulog at dumerederetso. Kaya mahal na mahal ko ang combat boots ko ngayon. It prevented me from falling into a painful and embarrassing fate. ^^;;; Tapos ayun, napagtripan nanaman ako dahil sa "crush" ko sa pwet ni Sir Florotz. Whatever talaga...tawa na lang ako at makiride on. Ako na rin naman ang nagsimula niyan e. Sabi ni Endi (friend namin from RO) na inilingan daw kami ni Sir Chua nung nadaanan niya kami tapos bigla kaming tumawa ng malakas. Wala e, mahirap na kapag kasama si Kat, Charleen, Piper (kwela at loka-lokang kabarkada ni Kat) at Endi tapos yung mga officer ang pinag-uusapan. Kasama kasi ni Endi sina Sir Mina sa Debate club ng La Salle, so medyo close sila. Siyempre maraming storya si Endi tungkol sa mga yun.

At alam niyo ba, yung mga nagpapractice ng land navi na mga sundalo na nandoon e may bahay na may cable access at flat screen tv? No joke.

Tapos may nakakatawang nangyari kanina pagkatapos ng firing. Sumakay kami sa bus tapos siyempre aircon na siya di ba. Ang masama dun, hindi ko alam na nakaapak pala ako ng isang masamang elemento. Hehehehe...in short naclear off po ang bus at pinagtawanan nanaman ako ng mga taong tinatawag kong mga kaibigan. Ayaw pa nga ako papasukin ng bus kanina nung driver bago siya sigurado na natanggal na yung masamang elemento sa ilalim ng combat boots ko e. Pinataktak at ipinahid pa sa basahan yung ilalim ng boots ko. Hehehehe...Assistant Platoon Marcher na nga pala ako ng Female Model ngayon. Kaya pag itanong kung sino ako, sasabihin na lang ng nakakarami na ako yung nagclear out ng bus dahil sa sobrang baho ng ilalim ng combat boots ko pagkatapos ng Firing. XD Gandang reputasyon at remembrance e no...

So ayun, graduated na ang kapatid ko. High School na siya sa pasukan at bakasyon na siya. Arrrrgh...asar siya. Anyway, I wish him all the luck and support. Nga pala, ang graduation nila sobrang boooooring. I think it was even worse than mine...

Tapos kanina kumain kami sa Yellow Cab. Nagkamali yung server kaya dapat may free pizza na kami tapos yung mga nagkamali babayaran nila yung pizza. Sabi ni Tatay bayaran na lang daw namin kasi kawawa naman yung mga taong yon. Isipin niyo na lang kung magkano lang ang kinikita nila everyday di ba? Sobrang minimal wage sila tapos ilang buwan lang sila dun di ba? Consideration is the key. ^_^ Go Tay!

Kelangan ko mag-aral sa JP. Wish me luck na hindi ako bumagsak. =_=;;;

WARNING: THE AUTHOR IS INSANE AND HAS BEEN SENT TO MANDALUYONG INDEFINITELY.

NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR: The article that shall be the downfall of my writing careeer is here. Read on:

What Happens When You Mix a Bum and Culture
By Crissy Mendoza

Okay, so I’m sitting here in front of the computer for what seems like a whole lot of hours now but I still have yet to actually do something. I’m supposed to be searching for an article for our INTROSOC final project and our main topic is Culture. So it’s absolutely anything about culture, may it be what people up there in the upper crust are up to, whether the masses have a new a dance fad to learn—whatever floats your boat.

Now that I’ve counted it, yes, it has only been about three hours, more or less, since I began my time here in front of the PC and I still haven’t found anything constructive. I had a lot of ideas.

I wanted to write about this article, which featured the movie “Shakespeare In Love” and talked about the fizzled passion of couples once marriage sets in. It is a very common occurrence and it is something I found intensely interesting. Yes, why does the passion fade once you marry the person you promised to give the stars, moon and sun to? Is it because once you are married, you realize that marriage is just a union where you have a duty to procreate and bring into this world a part of the next generation? Well, when you think of it that way, then certainly the passion just disappears right? Why would anyone want to be just baby machines?

La Sallian pride (or what could be near it XD) suddenly overtook me and I started writing about symbols and words that people associate the La Sallian and La Salle with. But then I later realized that I just didn’t have that much pride and I remembered that I was just a Frosh student (for the unenlightened, “Frosh” is the term used to refer to first year students in DLSU) and therefore still a bit ignorant about certain things that make La Sallians what they are or how people perceive them to be. I was an innocent trying so hard to become the guru of La Sallian Language and Symbolism, but it wasn’t meant to be. I discovered I just wasn’t so worthy to be called one as of yet. I’m just a lowly Frosh after all. I still have a lot of Football Field grass to eat and Agno smoke to breathe.

Then I was hit with a flashback scene. POW! I remembered that ill-fated Conyo research I conducted for my extemporaneous speech for ENGLTRI. I wanted to talk about what made people “conyo” and where in the world the funny word came from. I wanted to delve into the minds of the “conyo” kids and see what makes them tick, why they want to make “tuhog-tuhog” the fishball, and go home na. I managed to gather some information a while back and I really wanted to talk about it then, but then I also remembered that I discontinued my research when my professor, saying that it was far too subjective, shot down my paper proposal. So that was when the spark died and that idea was shot down too.

After these three ideas, I was grasping at straws. Good God, what could I contribute to our newsletter? I didn’t want to fail INTROSOC. I didn’t want to disappoint my group mates. I didn’t want to let down me.

So I fumbled for some moments. What could I write about? What is easy to write about? Should it be serious? Should it be something that would make the readers laugh their posteriors off when they breeze through it?

Then the answer came to me, like Hyde’s voice in the night when I am near tears with reviewing for that awful Chemistry exam the next day. It was the Golden Rule that my English teacher had once told me during a Creative Writing Class: write what you know.

What did I know? I know about Harry Potter and anime. I know that life can really suck when you don’t know what to do about it. I know that music piracy is bad for the country’s economy. I know that the Tapat ng Troika Congregation is the best there is. I know that my block mates could drive me to insanity one of these days with their incomparable noise.

I know that cramming is bad.

I just stopped still at that statement.

Cramming, of course.

Who could forget about cramming? All students must have done this at least for once in their life. It is something that we students do when we liked our amusements far better than doing schoolwork. It is one of the main sources of nervous breakdowns and stress. Cramming also isn’t advisable when you want to actually get good grades.

Now, all my frantic activities for the past four or so hours wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t crammed and succumbed to a very bad though real aspect of student culture. I should have just listened to that sometimes-prominent superego that resides in my brain and went for the ideal student culture, the student culture which called for diligent and responsible studying and displayed the values of academic excellence and social responsibility.

But sadly, proscriptive norms could only do so much. I happen to be one of the practiced and perfected bums who more often than not care whit for what society warrants. I’m not saying that there isn’t hope for us bums though. Some kind of new technology might be invented in the future and help generate a more active and yet appropriate culture for us bums.

But you’d never really know right?

***

The past paragraphs have got to be the biggest piles of baloney I have ever written. To my group mates, I hope you wouldn’t kill me for doing this or else I’ll just wish that you’d all die from laughing at my absurdity before you all hunt me down and kill me. To Ms. Bunag, this is not your fault. I am usually more sound than this, I assure you. I hope you don’t fail me for my article. I think I just need a lot more sleep, thank you.

I promise I won’t cram when it comes to making an article ever again and I promise I won’t be sitting beside my Sociology book when I do it.

Desperation makes you do insane and dangerous things.

This article is one of them.
