Lousy Roads

TGIF  (Thank God it's Friday)

Yes, thank you God! If not because of you, I could either be dead or dying right now. If not because of him, I could have been standing on the lousy roads of Manila. Dang it, so what the heck did happen? What is the reason of my sudden gratitude to God?


Thursday, Dec 1. My brother mentioned that my father and he would be sleeping in our Condo at Taguig, Fort Bonifacio which is in South. I have no theories why but I said I would join them just for the sake of swimming and staying out (Outside) my humble house and to awknowledge my condo's number one asset, it is near High Street, an open-envirofriendly mall that i prefer to shop and oh my gash it has a 4 floored Power Books branch.

Friday, Dec 2 is unproductive in terms of progress regarding myself but very productive in our intramural's volleyball team and class issues but I liked it because I was able to interrupt classes which one had my crush in it. My plan for that day was to leave the campus exactly during dismissal and go straight (commuting) to Fort Bonifacio (my school is in North) but I got careless and refuse to stick to the plan. What made me refuse my strict conspiracy? Well, it was also my team's training although I did not attend because of sluggishness and my own desire not to. I was occupied too, running errands for teachers. However, my main reason was due to my desire to spend time with friends. 

It was 4:30pm that I started worrying on leaving but I was also dubious. I was having a lot of fun with them and I did not want to end it. So I did not but I noticed the sky turning dark gray and  I knew it was not due to the setting of the sun but it was because it will rain. Few minutes, thunders roared and I panicked. (did I ever mentioned I am Astraphobic?) My friend accompanied me to the gate but then again, I was undoubtedly stubborn and refused to go. My imbecility and hydra-headedness draw me to close danger and I only recognized till the rain poured. It was 5:30 already and students started banishing, including me.

Unfortunately, it is a trite here in my country that Rain, Traffic, Lack of availability of public transportation comes as a package deal which i shall name "the triumvirate of road sickness". I can prove that just by this story! I rode 4 public vehicles but usually, it only takes 3 vehicles to reach my destination. I had to ride twice because the jeepneys to the train station is always full with passengers during "the triumvirate of road sickness".

TIME IS GOLD
but I cant budget it so a lot were wasted.
Ohwell, I reached my condo at exactly 7:50. I know that I should loathe fate for letting this happen but I guess, I'm uniquely optimistic and open-minded.

I'm thanking God for bringing me safely here despite of the distance and my stubbornness. Thank you for eluding me from the possibility of being snatched or raped or any possible crime done along peculiar streets of the South. 

GOD LOVES ME!

Faildom Theatre

after one week and a half of distress and piled up to-do's, finally the most hectic and crammed up class project has passed. I AM FREE FROM STRESS AND CAN CALM IN CLASSES AGAIN! Although we have no exam's week or called as "Hell Week" in graded schools, this week has been the nearest example of a hell-like week in a non-graded school. This is the most crammed up activity yet for this year. The proximity of the starting date to the due date convinced me so.

This "activity" I kept ranting about is created and pushed through by the English administration of my school for all 3rd high school students. They created it as a dedication for the English Month. To unclothe the confidentiality, it was called a "Theatrical Play" for its aim to show a play portraying a trending news in our improvised Cultural Center -slash- our humble room. Unfortunately, it was announced only last week and the live show is on 11.25.11 which was yesterday. The given limited time ruined the spasm of excitement.

The To-Do-List to win:
1.) Make a Script
2.) Memorize Script
3.) Make a draft for Room
4.) Organize the Props
5.) Cast Characters
6.) Prepare props and costumes
7.) Rehearse Play
8.) Fix humble room to potential Cultural Center
9.) Show time

The list is near to perfection already but the flow of actions is as slow as a turtle. I had a feeling since the first day of the planning that it would be a bad performance for my class but c'mon, a kid can dream right? As the president, I was the director and I swear to Zeus that dang it's hard, the ball of responsibility is as big as the sun! When it was 11.24.11 (last day to prepare before the showing), the preparation of the props and rehearsal was done simultaneously regardless of some classmates who for peter's sake never helped nor tried to. Only number of learners really persevered and prospered to win.

11.25.11
(Contest's standings respectively) out of 6 classes

Champion: Ms. Bardenas' class


1st place: Sorita's Class



3rd place: Rubino's



Mercado's



Samar's



Pangilinan's



De Sagon's




We may placed last however, I have witnessed the most professional crammers ever. I am still exasperated by what the judges' said but HEY AT LEAST WE MADE A JUDGE LAUGH, actress' fault.

Moral Lesson: DO NOT CRAM AND NEVER EVER NEVER BE A DIRECTOR OF A PLAY WHICH CREW IS DISORGANIZED.

"The lethargic feeling responsibility dug in me"

once/dose/once

11/12/11

Yes!! The day after 11/11/11. The day after the awe-awaiting eleven triumvirate! According to some individuals, 11/12/11 is one of the most wistful day of the year because another super triple date has come to an end. I thought such as well but the day for me was completely unexpected.


I woke up at 4:oo am for a fun run (GARFIELD RUN) that starts at 6:oo am. The run was held infront of Manila Ocean Park, Philippines. I went with my mom and a neighbor. I chose the 3k run while the adults (mom and neighbor) joined the 5k Power Run. It was very exhausting and the sudden spasm of athleticism flushewitd in my veins. Unfortunately, I did not run with any friend the same age as mine. I endured the loneliness and I doubt my seriousness when with friends. Meaning, if I were with friends, i would've ran and I would call it "the first ever lethargic community run of my life"
































After the run, we proceeded to the Mall of Asia. It was my first time to be there just to shop. We continue the escapade and went to Ocean Park after because of the undeniably huge discount and it was also my first time :)



SHARK!!! 295 for shark encounter!! I SHALL TRY, THIS IS JUST TOO COOL

Dancing Jellies B-)



Doctor Fish or Nibble Fish. The coolest of all fishes B-) They get nutrition from dead skins. They bite but it doesn't hurt or leave wounds instead heals them. However, they could be really tickling! No joke ;)

FISH SPA AND SNOW VILLAGE WERE THE BEST. SADLY, MY CAM WAS ARMED WITH EMPTY BATTERY. SO I TOOK FEW PICTURES ONLY. The next time I'm at Ocean Park, I SHOULD BE GEARED WITH A DSLR! Hopefully, soon :)) Through it all, we only bought two things (not including food items) A penguin and an angry bird silly hats!!!!

If i believe 11/11/11 sincerely, I will consider this as a potential triumvirate day :)

(forgive my lousy post, I'm sleepy and tired from training today. Good Night!)
