Do I need an intro? I'm sure you have common sense - if it really is that common. And, don't expect much. I mean, c'mon! This is BU (Sometimes I think I'm becoming ungrateful. Oh wait, I AM).

Monday. I went to school, talked to friends, pretended to listen, and went home again.
Tuesday. Same.
Wednesday. Same.
Thursday. Same.
Friday. Same.

Between those lame activities, however, I managed to squeeze eating snacks, attending meetings, filing for the scholarship, researching, gossiping, blinking breathing, and thankfully - thinking.

Now some of you may assume that this next paragraph is about thinking. I'm sorry. I don't follow those rules in my blog. Instead, I'll be boasting my grades:
Economics - 1.9
ICT - 1.4
Filipino - 1.4
Speech Communication - 1.4
Journalism - 1.1
Philippine Literature - 1.5
Philippine Constitution - 1.6
PE - 2.1


In BU, 1.0 is the highest, 3.0 is the passing, and 5.0 means you really, really failed. So given these grades, I have a GWA of 1.5262. That's only 0.0262 away from that 75% scholarship. No thanks to PE. My first 2, and a 2.1 at that. And of all the subjects... It's PE! There's an issue behind that though, and the letter to the president is only a print away! (I'm not really ungrateful, I think BU is great, but there are instances that I wish I would've taken that slot in UP.)

I'd tell you EVERY misfortune we (friends and I) had with BU. but I'm sure this blog doesn't have enough space. Maybe I'll publish a novel someday. Something like Harry Potter. Beginning from our first semester (first year) alone would probably be as thick as the Order of the Phoenix.

You know, I really had a hard time squeezing stuff from my brain, so I would really appreciate comments. Commenting without an account is now possible.

PS: Nico, I know you don't (and probably won't) comment here, but I know you read this blog (judging by the amount of criticism and word-of-mouth-comments I get from you). So I have a message to you about my grades: I know you have a higher GWA, so don't rub it in. -.-

PPS: Sorry I haven't been updating this. I enjoyed blogging with Multiply (contacts-only though) lately, primarily because I have far more comments there than on my own personal site-turned-blog. o_O

Actually, it was Joanna's 18th birthday celebration in Bicol (she had a different celebration in Manila). Talk about RICH kid. Haha. Anyway, it was held at the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC). Unfortunately, there were only 10 (out of the 24) of us there. Pure female bonding. Hahaha. Actually, I don't know where to start, but here goes:

2:00 pm - Leave for CWC. Meeting place at Joanna's house.
4:15 - Arrive at CWC, check-in, change into swim wear, etc
6:00 - Swimming, picture-taking, beginning of F-U-N. lol
8:00 - Dinner.
10:00 - Stroll around CWC, had a couple of drinks, watched Kuya Pao (correct me if I'm mistaken) do some magic tricks, gossiped, laughed at corny jokes, tried to tell scary stories which ended up as comedy, well, pretty much fooling around.
12:15 AM - Back to trailer, gossiped, showered and prepared for bed.
1:00 - Fooled around with kuya Pao and his vodka. He played rock, paper, scissors with Cicar (if cicar wins, he drinks, v.v.). Cicar lost 3 out of 5. LOL. (note: I've tasted a lot of different brands of vodka before, and his was the weirdest. I think I drank acetone or something. Ugh.) Imagine how Cicar felt LOL!
2:30 - Everyone finished showering and well, what do you expect, more gossip xD
3:00 - Almost everyone was asleep except Janice, Trixia, Gwen, Ainna and I.
3:15 - Janice, Gwen and I fell asleep
3:30 - I woke up LOL
3:35 - gossiped with Trix and Ainna. (We were the only ones awake) Haha.
4:00 - We tried to go outside, but the door was locked and Ate Zoe had the keys -.-
4:30 - Ate oranges (and take note!) inside the bathroom LOL
4:45 - Played games using Jo's PSP
5:00 - Watched the sunrise through the window in the bathroom xD
5:45 - Ate Zoe woke up. YAY!!!
6:00 - Stroll around CWC... Yep, just the three of us.
6:30 - back to the trailer to get some $$$.
7:00 - burnt my tongue with hot choco.
7:30 - everyone woke up, breakfast and prepare for take-off xD
9:00 - finished preparing, more picture taking
9:30 - leave for Legazpi
11:30 - arrive at Jopi's house and gossiped. hahaha
12:00 PM - leave for home
12:15 - I arrived home and fell asleep.

And when I woke up at about 3PM, I had a monster headache. Now it's gone and in it's place is a cough and cold combination. I should've slept more last night, even if it meant sleeping on the floor. xD But all in all, I had a blast. Of course I couldn't put every single detail, but I'll grab some pictures from Ivy and Jo and let you see how fun it was. ;)

Advance Happy Halloween... and Happy 20th (TWENTIETH) Birthday, Arvin! (^____^)v. Sorry for giving emphasis on your age.

After a month of procrastinating, I'm finally finished with fixing errors. I haven't double checked some of the links, so if you encounter some dead links, please inform me. :)

I'm sure I've mentioned something about skinning this website months ago, and I'm sorry that I still haven't done that yet. I'm very impatient when it comes to tutorials, so I hope you understand. :P

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this week. I'm sure it'll be a blast:
Monday - I'm not really sure if I'll be doing anything tomorrow, but spontaneity's always with me these past few days.
Tuesday - Enrollment. It's been a class tradition to watch movies/celebrate right after enrollment. But who knows what'll happen anyway.
Wednesday - 29th!!! I'm off to CWC with HS buddies for Joanna's 18th birthday celebration.
Thursday - Since the celebration is overnight, we're probably just on our way back to Legazpi. If I still have enough strength, I'll watch my brother, TJ, perform for the Ibalong Street Presentation.
Friday - Arvin's birthday. Who knows what he'll do. Hahaha. Oh, and Happy Halloween!

Grades. Grades. Grades. So far I've got 1.1, 1.4, and 1.9 in Journ11, Fil3, and Economics respectively. I'm waiting for Philippine Constitution, Philippine Literature, Speech Communication, PE3, and ICT. I'm not sure about my PE3. Anyway, I'm hoping it wouldn't ruin my 1.(something) streak. And it's PE for God's sake!
I. Am. A. Nerd.

I forgot to inform you that the server of this website was moved, so it was down for about two days. In effect, some posts were deleted, and my recent updates were... well... disregarded. Haha. Good thing I have back-up. But I won't be able to upload them until Tuesday or so because I still have a commitment with BHMTC which I absolutely forgot.

Oh, and about skinning, it's a headache. -.-"

Today is the beginning of Hell Week, otherwise known as 'Finals Week'. Growing up, I've learned lessons in life and one of which is: If you are a journalism major, don't bother memorizing all the stuff they teach you. Just put it to heart, primarily because exams will be more on application.

If you think I'm going to elaborate that, think again. Yes, laziness is a very contagious disease. Contact me if you wish to experience the joy of laziness. xD

This blog is boring. This blog has senseless content. Sometimes I wonder why I pay for this thing. Wait, let me rephrase that: Sometimes I wonder why I let my mom pay for this thing. :D

Anyway, I am currently experiencing a writer's block @_@ So, here's an update of Class Conversations to... ummm... curse this blockage. xD

CLASS CONVERSATIONS:
--------------------------------------------

Orson: Utang yan. Sige na, pupunta pa kong bank.

Jev: Kasi yun yung maduming part...
Pau: :| talaga?
Annah: Oo... Bakit?

Jovic: La, si junior yan?
Some random classmate: Ang pangit naman ni junior!
Annah: Mana kasi sa tatay niyang monggoloid!
(how sweet)
-------------------------------------------
(assigning roles)
Gerard: Ah, diba typical sa mga boarding houses yung may inuuwi na mga jowa?
Melay: Oo. Annah, ikaw na yun. Tapos mabubuntis ka. Gerard, iakw ung makakabuntis.
Gerard and Annah: Okay...
Karen: Oo maganda yun!! Tapos meron pang mga lesbian!
Melay: Oo, ikaw na yun! Sino partner mo?
Jev and Karen: (napatingin sa isa't-isa)
Jev: Oh no... Tayo nanaman??! (note: originally, we were supposed to be lesbians in our speech choir, which was revised later)
Karen: Oo na yan. Sige, kami ni Jev!
Annah: Girl, natikman ko na lahat ng lalaki sa klase!
Jev: Ako stick to one! Diba Karen?!
(oh the life I live...it's... ugh... hahahaha!)
-----------------------------------

Fin. I hate writer's block!!!

Please read whatever's written on the left side of your screen. I'm too lazy to retype everything. Besides, it'll be redundant and redundancy is pathetic.

So far, four professors already told us that we will not take final exams, but we will do paperwork (which will consume more time than sitting in that classroom, squeezing information from your brain for an hour or so), plays (talk about practices!), etc. But I swear, once everything's done, I'm fixing all errors.

Amazingly, I still found time to watch Dark Pink 17: The Cuticles of Narnia, The Lion strips in the Wardrobe. I'm sure to have one crazy night!
