My Green Adventures

Wow, I really can't believe that it has already been almost a month since I have officially became a college student. Great, right? But it's really not as easy as it looks like. Before, I thought that college will be a piece of cake and that it won't be that serious at all. But obviously, I thought wrong.
Last May 11 and 12, we had an LPEP (Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program) or what other students call simply as an orientation. It was then where I met my so-called blockmates whom I will have to stay with and study with for months (probably years if I don't feel like shifting my program anymore).
So as a summary, I don't have problems with my courses. All of them are interesting especially INTHROP or Introduction to Anthropology. I can't help but wish that everyday will be a Monday or a Thursday so I we'll have an Anthropology class. I know Anthropology isn't that much of a topic, but believe me, with Sir Baula as a prof, my gawwwwd it's like watching a stand-up comedian perform live with added supplements of unlimited knowledge that you can always apply outside and inside the campus. Critical Thinking also challenges my mind. Although it may appear unchallenging because all we have to do is read a lot of boring articles, it is also very interesting due to the subjects and topics it covers. Also with Sir Leoncini's way of discussing and his unbelievable ways of giving examples in just a short matter of time, CRITHIN is much of a challenge rather than just a boring course. Citizenship and Governance at first may sound uninteresting and boring with all the discussions about governments, politics, laws, rules, blah blah, boring boring. But I really enjoy CITIGOV even though Sir Malbarosa often pressures us by giving us group activities which involves reporting the very next meeting. Actually, our prof in CITIGOV and CRITHIN talk and discuss as if they are our fathers, in a good way of course. Moving on to Biotechnology, Ahhh.. No arguments, this course is very interesting and enjoyable. For those who have known me personally for a long while, you are equipped with the fact that I dislike Math and Science, but things might have changed because I really do enjoy this subject. It may probably be because Sir Tayco isn't much of a killjoy (no, he really isn't a killjoy) since he's still young. I mean, he can really get along well with our talks, jokes, and whatsoever. Our PE, if you have seen in my previous post, is dancing. So I think that you are aware that I cannot truly express any feeling of immense interest to that matter. I don't dance. Even if I do, or even if I do want to, I still can't. Damn! Global Society and Theology have different stories. Don't wanna talk much about it.
Well, obviously my time is gobbled up by school works. I'm always loaded with lots of articles to read, lots of reportings and powerpoints to do, lots of research, lots of activities to do, and lots of sleep to get! College is quite harsh, I wish we can be friends. My green adventures isn't finished yet. Although it might take some time again for me to update, well.. Let's first depend on my super reliable memory. That's it for now!

Let's finish the Legend!

If you folks ever heard of this game and thinks that this is stupid, I'll knock your heads off! This game is so epic. It's so great that whenever I think of it I feel like my head is gonna explode. Well, not only the game is very exciting and well done, but also me and my brother had an epic fail experience with this one.
This game is actually for Playstation 1. I'm not quite sure if there's also for a later version of it, but we played it on ps1. We were really hooked to this game. We dedicated most of our time playing this and we were really looking forward in finishing it.
Then came the time that we were on the last level. The last level was quite hard, obviously. We were then about to defeat the last boss. Of course, the last boss will be the hardest one to defeat so we took some time trying to kill this baby. After we have defeated that monster, there was a light shining through the mana tree. Oh yessss! It's over! But when we were about to jump out of extreme joy, the light did not move anymore. The game stopped working! Damn it.
We hit the reset button and played the last stage again, but we had the same results. It was really depressing because this was our favorite game! :( We never had the chance to finish it since then.
And now, that the ps1 is already obsolete, we can never have the chance to finish it. :/ But luckily, my brother found a way to install it in his laptop instead! It was quite clever to install a ps1 game in a laptop. I don't know how he did it but it's just to great. Thanks to his friend!
So ta-da! We now have a Legend of Mana game here in his laptop. Too bad he's gonna take home his laptop soon. :((( :)))

Two Peas in A Pod
?
? 12:00 AM
For the past few years that I have spent in my previous school, I must admit that I couldn't have been in my place right now if it weren't for some people. Family, friends and the like are the ones who really deserve my gratitude. But for the previous years, there is this certain person who never failed to support me in everything I do. Besides my family, she's has been my number one fan and I consider myself very, very lucky to have her play a significant part in my life.
We have been friends for the past six years I guess and hopefully, more great years for our friendship. Believe it or not, for that very long years we've spent together, we never fought. As other people say, Friendship can be measured by how many times two persons fought, and were eventually brought back together. But for the two of us, that quote from someone doesn't really apply at all.
When I was in grade 5, I was transferred to the other section so I was separated with my friends. After a few days, I moved on and got along with some of my new friends (Guess that won't be the same with college!). And then one day, there was this long-haired, morena and chinita girl carrying her white and green stripes bag, entering the room accompanied by his father. She sat in the front row, while I was on the very last row. As time passed by, I was a little bit questioning myself, "Who is this girl???". Ever since I was little, my spirit of competence was always burning, it was never dead. That girl was pretty smart and intelligent, answering every question that the teacher asks. I was about to start a fire with this girl through a healthy competition but then, she was reassigned to a new seat. And that seat, was beside me. She was in the middle of our mini row. On her left was Clint, and on the other side sat the pretty girl named Kyle (ehem).
Days and weeks passed, we started to get along with each other. Me and Clint will always plan a secret attack to tickle Ina to death. Yes, we were already super happy by just doing that. Pfft, kids! And by that, me and Ina also started this so-called Friendship. We then started sharing secrets together with some of our friends too. We were a group before, if I'm not mistaken, we were composed of four members. Then it grew, and grew.... I lost count so I cannot really state the exact number of the members of our group before. Ina and I always talked about with this certain guy, codenamed "Number 5" or "Ano". Well, I think Ina doesn't want to talk about him. Hmmm?
One thing I cannot and WILL NOT EVER FORGET was when we were on our field trip. On our way back to Cavite, me and Ina sat together. The others were all asleep, obviously tired from roaming and having fun around Enchanted Kingdom. I was a little bit naughty at that time so I took a picture of them while sleeping, he he he. I then decided to take a picture of me and Ina so we can also have a souvenir. I wasn't really smart with gadgets and stuffs at that time so I wasn't good enough to notice that the camera should be a little bit more far from our faces. When the pictures were developed (yes, no digicam! XD), I wanted to THROW AND BURN that picture. OMFG! I look so fugly. Ha ha ha, that was our epic and most unforgettable picture. I won't describe it and won't let you see it! Too embarrassing.
Moving on to our Grade Six days, me and Ina weren't that much glued to each other before. As I have stated earlier, we were in a group actually. And I wasn't really dedicating all of my time with that group because I also spend my time with my
Again, there was an unforgettable moment that me and Ina shared during our grade six moments. We had a chance to send text messages to each other and we shared mushy secrets. I cannot forget the funny fact that I was subscribed to an unlimited text promo while Ina wasn't, so she spent 60 pesos that night. She didn't know about this unli text promo, and I wasn't able to tell her about it. As usual, as grade schoolers, our secrets were about our crushes. I cannot believe that we shared the same crush at that time! Luckily, I had two crushes at that time, codenamed "Niya" and "Siya". Ina was shocked by the fact that I was crushing on "Siya". Well, I cannot really blame her about it. And I was so overly childish to say that I was "head over heels" with this person. Funny moments!
I'm really not sure but I think that was the start of Ina being our number one fan. I mean, she's always acting goobish about us ever since then. Well, I had always been a fan too of her loveteam with whomever she had a crush on. I won't mention names, don't worry ha ha ha.
We then graduated, both with honors. High school, finally! We're now freshies. I believe that this is the year when we really became tight with each other. As far as I can remember, Ina, Mary, Me and Mellizza sat in the same row so we were the ones who were close to each other. It was also the first time when our group had a petty fight with the another group. The reason was very childish, I cannot believe that we got mad with that. It was also the first time that I saw Ina have a somewhat "deep" crush with a guy. I still believe that she's having a crush with this guy. Lol, don't kill me! It was also the first time, that I invited Ina and some other friends to come over to our house to celebrate my birthday with me. Unfortunately, Ina wasn't able to come so I cried. Luckily, Mary Rose came to our house instead :-)
I really cannot remember much about our first year days besides Ina and Mary Rose sharing the same crush. That guy is codenamed "Boom" and "Panget". I wonder why we're so negative about our crushes before?
Second year days is one of our best memories as a whole class. Well maybe because this was the time that we were coming our of our shells unlike in our first year. We experienced many fights and trials as a whole, we had issues with the teachers, with classmates and etc. Also, me and Ina also had an issue at that time. I cried like a younger sister fighting with his older brother because of a petty misunderstanding with Mary Rose concerning Ina. I'm really not sure what happened but all I can remember was I was really crying hard.
On the other hand, this was also the year when we were all about to join our field trip to La Mesa Ecopark except for my best friend. We all took part in trying to make her join the field trip in our own ways. Fortunately, she was able to join but we were separated with our classmates due to some problems. Me, Ina, Mary, Czarina, Timothy and Karl were on a different bus but of course, we still had fun. We were like having a picnik or having an adventure. He he he.
Our third year days were the best. I believe that Ina will strongly agree. At first, we were really devastated because we were the only ones left, our friends were transferred to the other section. There was also a time when I wanted to be with them, but of course my love for my best friend overcame my troubles. I made the right choice! This is the year when we really felt the best friend spirit inside of us. Of course we were best friends ever since, but I do believe that this year was really, really different.
The secrets that we shared were more deeper, not about our petty crushes anymore. And I'm sorry but I still can't share those secrets with you, he he he.
Our last year in high school was like an extension to our friendship days in our third year. Fun, exciting and everyday was a best friend day! :)
Me and Ina were like B1 and B2, whatever I think or feel inside, she's aware of it even though I don't put it into words. We know each other that well. Sometimes, we have the exact point of view about something. Or sometimes, we feel the exact emotion about something. We move the same way sometimes, and we have the same qualities at times. We also love same things like cartoons and animated movies!
- I will miss the times when I will just call Ina whenever I feel bored
- the times when we get my lunch downstairs and eat together
- the times when we will just laugh by ourselves because we're the only ones who understand each other
- the times when we will remember how funny Ms. jo's face was when she made face
- the times when we will make tambay near our window and talk about gulaman and megatron
- the times when she will always ask for my advice on what to do, and same with me
- the times when we will hold hands like lesbian lovers
- the times when we will defend each others' side from other evil forces
- the times when I will share about my petty crushes
- the times when she will share about her progress with gulaman
- the times when we will piggy back ride each other for a bet
- the times when we will just hug after each subject
- the times when we will take pictures of ourselves and it looks like a wacky one
- the times when she feels gooby about me and hmmm and when I feel that way too with her and hmmm
- the times when she will describe how frightening my brother is and how beautiful my mother is
- the times when I will describe how cute Joby is and how she looks like Gilly
- the times when she will give me pasalubong from her and from her family
- the times when we will remember how lucky we were because we picked each other last christmas party as Miss Pink and Miss Lavender
- the times when we will reminisce happy and sad times
- the times when she will always try her best to cheer me up whenever I'm at my extreme emotions
- the times when I will boost her optimism and confidence
- the times when she will say "I love you" and I will ignore her statement and then laugh afterwards
- the times when I will pretend that I'm the superior and she's an inferior
- the times when she will do her best to do her duty as my warrior
- the times when we just have a simple talk as best friends
- the times when we always wished we had an alone time
- AND MANY MORE :)
Well, now we're both graduates. We are taking further steps to reach our goals. We'll be really far from each other now. But I guess, it's not much of a problem. We can still keep in touch, even though without cellphones, internet, etc. We still have this bond called Friendship! :) I cannot explain and share more about our friendship but I guess this is more than enough for now. There's still a lot to go knowing that it's still not the end. Many people say that after graduating and as we take steps farther away, we will eventually forget each other, but I really wanna prove them wrong. This friendship is extraordinary. It has a secret ingredient that not only Plankton would like to steal but also everyone.
So, as for my best friend, I'll really miss you. It's somewhat hard to see you go off to another school so far away from me and have new friends you can hang out with but it's okay. Just don't ever forget me or I'll crush your bones. If ever someone threatens to hurt you, you know what to do. I do hope that everything I told you will be remembered and applied. We've gone through a lot, and I hope we'll still overcome more obstacles as we go on. Thank you, Ina. For sharing half of your life and for playing a major role in mine. I love you Best Friend <3

I feel so tortured today
?
? 10:41 PM
I TOTALLY FEEL YOU SQUIDWARD!
After spending so much time waiting for the enrollment day to come, it finally happened. Yes, today was the enrollment day for students who belong to the College of Liberal Arts and I'm one of them. I prepared early so we can arrive there at 11 hoping that it would be an advantage if I'm an early bird. Thanks to the heavy traffic caused by Maynilad and MWSS, and to the dramatic fight of the passenger versus the driver and the conductor (which caused much of a show on the road, as usual the other passengers are watching and "nakikisawsaw at nakikiaway pa"), my hopes were crushed. Instead of 11am, we arrived there at 12pm. Wow, thank you very much.
Unfortunate Event # 1: I was so stubborn to prepare the requirements for enrollment before, I didn't even change my "ransacked and devastated" brown envelope which I used way way back. I wasn't able to notarize my Frat Form weeks, or days before my enrollment so I had to find a Notary Public near La Salle. Luckily, there's one under the LRT in Vito Cruz. I gave my form to the guy, and then his face crumpled when he saw my form. I was puzzled. He then said, "Kulang 'tong papel mo, may sulat yan sa likod. Bumalik ka du'n sa pinagkuhanan mo nito. Marami na akong nanotarize na ganito. Sa'yo lang 'yung kulang." If it wasn't for Manong, I wouldn't have known that my form was missing something. But that really ruined my mood. There are thousands of students who are going to enroll at La Salle, why does it have to be me who gets this? Ugh. So we went to Andrew Hall and got the CORRECT Frat form. Damn, Andrew Hall is just too far.
Unfortunate Event # 2: When I went to Desk F where the students pay their tuition fees, the guard got my check and I sat down for a long, long while. It was probably about forty minutes before my name was called. I guess they're verifying my check (Hello, it's valid!). And then, when they called my name, they gave me the receipt of my tuition fee. I then asked the other guard, "Kuya, where should I pay the fee for the notarization? My frat form isn't notarized kasi eh. I only got it today 'cause of some problems." Again, I saw a man's face crumple and look like he saw Justin Bieber's butt, I guess he was so annoyed. He was somewhat scolding me for being stupid because I didn't give the slip that says that I'm requesting for a notarization thingy. He was so annoyed, believe me. I felt like a scolded and hit puppy. In a somewhat angry tone, he said "Ano ba 'yan, panibagong pila na naman! 'Di mo pa kasi binigay kanina eh!" and in a very humble voice I replied, "Eh kasi kuya eh.. Bibigay ko na ba yung 100php?" "Wag! dun na sa cashier kapag tinawag ka." I sat down feeling stupid, so stupid. I don't feel bad about the guard, he was just tired I guess. There are a lot of students, and my stupidity is unacceptable at a time like that.
Unfortunate Event #3: As I sat alone with no one to talk to, I was patiently waiting for someone to ask me if he/she can have a seat beside me. I was preparing myself on what I would reply if someone would approach me. In front of me were two girls who really looked like they know each other for a long long time already, or maybe not thanks to Facebook. On my right were group of guys who are talking and laughing together. At the back were two girls and one guy who were getting to know each other. And on my left, I see no one... because I was on the very left side on the very back seat. Every person who is trying to find a seat and is about to pass my row, I was expecting that he/she will sit beside me. I waited for minutes, and then hours.. But no one still sat beside me. Even though it was the last seat left, no one still chose that stupid cursed damned chair. Until, a mommy sitting at the back asked me if there was someone sitting at that cursed chair. My face showed great joy and I'm obviously enlightened. In extreme joy, I wasn't able to murmur a thing, I just waved my hand, signalling that no one was sitting there. After seeing my meaningful reply, I was waiting for her daughter to sit down with me and my heart was saying "WOOHOO! YAY! HOORAY!", but instead of sitting beside me, her mommy pulled the chair backwards and placed the chair at the back. They sat together at the back. And I heard a loud disturbance inside of me. Saying multiple bad words, brr. I now call myself, Person-repellent (fly paper not included).
Unfortunate Event #4: Finally, my name was called again. I got the receipt of the notarization and of the tuition fees that I paid. So at last, I was at the last desk and I gave the last requirement. I left the school and finally got home. When I checked my envelope, I was in extreme grief. My heart sank and I felt my whole body drop. I saw my Frat form inside. What the hell is that cursed form doing in my envelope?! I then remembered that the lady at Desk A told me to go back to her desk by the time I get the receipt of the notarization. But I didn't go back to her desk, I just flew away away and away. And now, all I can do is regret. And of course, force my aunt to go back to La Salle tomorrow and give my form and show the receipt of course. (Yes, I'm trying to make myself feel better)
Other unlucky events are as follows:
- I ordered Mountain Dew, and they gave me Pepsi (I don't like Pepsi I'm sorry)
- I forgot to bring an extra nappy. (Don't ask, don't react)
- A lot of street children are annoying me, I'm not mayabang or matapobre, they're just really and extremely annoying. They're asking money, they're asking for what I'm drinking, what I'm eating, what I'm holding, whatever they see and all they do is play "kara krus" (a gamble)
- Unfortunately, the slurpee machine isn't functioning well and I got a whimpy instead of a slurpee.
Please don't have a number 5. :(
So, if you're going to ask me what happened in my enrollment, well it's nothing related to the word LUCKY and HAPPY.
