Peasant Day...?!

"Tight Tayo Sa Globe // I'm a floating head. >_<"

We were looking forward to another review session at Ayra's house but while we were on the way to get a tricycle from school, we got cornered by these two fourth years-Dana and Dona-and they forced us to sit for a *long* while. So yeah, we were basically held hostage at the school's tricycle area along with a second year named Mark. Whenever we tried to escape, they would grab us and put us back to were we sat. They claimed that they needed to do that because they didn't have anything to do and they were about to graduate.

Well, when we were able to escape because of a certain distraction, we immediately went inside one of the tricycles. One for me, Casey, and Ayra and another for Mark. Just before I could say "Hey, that was weird // 'musta naman yun?", Dana suddenly forced herself inside our tricycle and Dona was in Mark's. I totally thought that they were just kidding but they actually followed us to Ayra's house and they also brought Mark along. Plus, they were wearing their ACP uniforms so they looked like the police when they were surrounding us as we walked out of the tricycles.

This was supposed to be my third session of review in Ayra's house, but with those people in the room, I swear, you can't review even for a little. At first, they said that they could review us because Dona got exempted at a few exams before, but it turned to them talking about how they copy from each other during exams and their teachers didn't care. After that, we simply didn't talk about school anymore. We went from talking about their adventures during their so-called "Peasant Day" (they actually call each other "Peasant"), to taking a *whole lot* of pictures. And just before they left, they force-fed us large scoops of ice cream and took pictures of it. Well, only Dona's scoop was the largest. *shrug* I remember the excess ice cream dripping from her mouth.

Oh yeah, they took Mark along with them when they left. They said that they would take care of him and take him home. Wait, to his house or to *their* house? Hmm, Dona Sosa, Dana Chanyongco, Mark Advincula (sp? XD)... they're quite amusing people. XD

Totally Spies

Hoo! Here we go, here we go~ On a mission undercover, and we're in control! Here we go, here we goooo~! LOL Yes, my friends and I were just looking around in ATC when we saw the Totally Spies 'show'. Yes, it was... uhh... horrible! Videos at the end (will try)

It all started with the announcer going all: "Do you want to see Totally Spies?!". The kids follow-up with a loud "YESSSS!" and they repeat it until it becomes loud enough to give enough hype for the 'spies' to enter. Well, when they finally entered, there was a blank response from the crowd. The kids were hoping for amazing, cool spies but they got older people dressed up as Alex, Sam, and Clover. I swear that the one playing Alex is AT LEAST 30 years old. LOL

We were at the side part of the stage when we were laughing our guts out when all of a sudden, Alex gave me the ol' "Mmhmm" black person evil-eye. It might be because I point when I laugh so I guess she saw me. She managed to give me an evil look while on-stage because of a scene where she hugs Sam. You know, since it was a side hug, her face couldn't be seen from the audience's point of view but it was definitely visible from the side of the stage.

By the way, in the videos, you could also see Candy Sweet - the cheerleader in black. She's basically the villain for that show. She makes weird stunts involving cartwheels. Well, you'd think that it was a must see, but no, no, she was wearing pants underneath the cheer-skirt. Long pants, in fact. So, yeah, nothing interesting there. Ah yes, the videos were taken the next day. If we took it during the first time we were there, you'll hear nothing but out laughter. XD

Ahh, good times~

Oh crap! I can't snatch them! XD Well, just go to Galo's Blog to view the videos under the blog entry entitled "Totally Spies Totally Live (All out Hoe Fest...).

Prom is for Promiscuous

Well, well, the much awaited JS Prom has passed and I could say that I've had more fun in other places. Some were pretty much disappointed because they didn't get to participate in the dance. Sure, it's partly their fault but since I'm not a punctuality whore, I'll say that it's the program's fault. After greeting us and letting us sit after singing the national anthem - which, by the way, had a weird stuttering effect most probably due to the lousy audio capabilities of the school - and listening to the ever-so-repetitive prayer-song, they immediately started the per-section dance portion. It went something like:

"Since this night is going to be so exciting, let's start it off with the much prepared for dance portion!"

I wasn't all that surprised since I got to see the script before the program actually started, but for the others that didn't, they pretty much had the words "OH SHI-" written on their faces the moment they heard it. Our section was probably the luckiest out of the third years in terms of punctuality. I guess we were all present at the time even if we were the second to perform. Some were really disappointed because they didn't get to dance and showcase what they've prepared for so much, as I stated in the first paragraph. Something unfortunate also happened with my supposed prom date. She immediately left after entering the venue. Let's just leave that topic with quite an amusing quote.

"You don't see a crying girl in a short dress being chased by four to five people carrying a dummy on a usual night in a country club."

Well, all-in-all, I thought that the prom was pretty enjoyable but I seriously had better times in other places. If I were in charge of the program, I would probably insert a brief history of the prom at the start instead of starting immediately with the dance. And yes, I would ensure that they refill the buffet because they DIDN'T. Those bitches didn't give me a chance to get a second helping of the wonderful potato souffle. Hey, how do you spell that again? Let's just hope I'm right.

Oh yeah, I learned one thing, at least, after the prom. Prom is actually a shortened word for Promenade, am I right? Yeah, out of all the possible lessons that I could've learned, I learned that lousy one. XD

Late

I always wonder why I tend to write about things that happen weeks ago instead of writing them the moment they happen. Well, whatever. First up would be from when we went to Tagaytay last, last week. Usually, the on-the-way part would be the most enjoyable segment of the trip but I sadly wasted the car-ride moments by reading the novel 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. Why the hell did I read that instead of talking to them? Well, first of all, I couldn't really relate to the stuff they were talking about but I guess I had fun by just listening to them. Sad, isn't it? Maybe I would've been able to strike up a conversation if I sat next to them. Yeah, in the van, there were three rows. Each row had different topics that they were talking about. I, sadly, was seated in the first row, next to the driver. Yes, so it's either talk to the driver, or read the novel I brought along. Of course, I read the novel since I'm not that much of a conversationalist. Plus, what in the world could a driver and a student of my age talk about?

I wouldn't write about when we actually got to Tagaytay though. There really isn't much for me to write about, since I didn't take part in 1/3 of the activities that were planned. So, next up would be V-day. Why do I call it V-day? It's because I don't know whether it's Valentines, Valentine's, or Valentines' Day. Yes, that's another sad thing.

Anyway, a few of my friends were planning to go out, watch a movie, and eat dinner together. But wait, there has to be some sort of catch, right? Sadly, there was. There were supposed to be three couples in that outing, including two single people and that already includes me. The other single person backed out because of 'lack of money' as she put it. I knew I would get stuck with those couples. I wanted to back out as well but they kept persuading me to go. Then, two more didn't go. They had their reasons. So that left us with one (!) couple, two people with partners who didn't go, and me, who had no partner to begin with. Well, that night went out fine for me, I guess. It was fun, regardless of all those partners. I'm happy 'cause I got to watch the movie I wanted to see (it sucked beyond reason though), and I ate in the restaurant I wanted to eat in (Yeah, that succeeded after successfully, yet shamefully, evacuating the other restaurant/cafe which had an overpriced menu. Hey, don't call me cheap. The cheapest thing on their menu was worth 60 pesos and that's bottled water!)

Decision

A pretty interesting topic came up this week: my plans for college. I never really thought about it that much. I guess it wasn't my plan but my mother's. She worked hard to support her family and now she wants me to transfer there. I used to think that it would be alright. I thought that nothing would change. Maybe I just never thought about it.

After graduating here, I'm supposed to transfer there and continue my with my college education there. I just realized what I would be leaving behind after being asked and persuaded to stay here by a few of my classmates. I kept telling them that it would be hard to say no to her after all her hard work and patience. It all ended with them telling me an oh, so overused line.

"You'll never know until you try."

Guess what, I actually did. I sort of regretted that decision, but at the same time, I felt a little relieved. It's like a load taken off my back or something like that. When she replied to my little query regarding 'what-ifs' about transferring and staying in the Philippines, I was a bit worried. She said things like wanting to feel like a family after a long time, she wanted to not waste time, since life is short. I didn't know how to reply to that until 3 hours passed and I actually did. At first, I didn't want to reply yet but I think I accidentally pressed the send button after being used to send something after typing something long in Yahoo mail. ._.

Well, enough of that drama. LOL! XD I actually had two other unfortunate things happening to me before this happened. Let me enumerate them for you.

1. I wore my PE-shirt backwards to school. It's a good thing someone noticed immediately while I was on my way to the third floor. If anyone asks me about it, I'll tell them that it was for a presentation.

2. Tricycle-related mishaps. I kept messing up when getting tricycles. There's already this place where tricycles gathered for students and I didn't know which one was available until one of them screamed at me. I guess you can imagine the other tricycle-related mishaps if you know how horrible I am at commuting.

And now, I'll be ending this post with four very special words: 'That', 'will', 'be', and 'all'.
