The pains of being under the claws of a teacher.

2012-03-08T22:28:00.000+08:00

Lol, it was just horrible that I ranted on how I hated March on my first March post. Sorry the third month for I had to litter on your own house. I wouldn't have to say that bad air came into my March, would I?

I said. I was. Already. Okay.

2012-03-05T15:17:00.000+08:00

This is exactly what I hate about March. All the exams and the studying to do. It's killing me - in the inside, in the brain specifically. And apparently from the little school I'm in, they love giving projects together with the finals. Dang, it is not good. And. It. Is. Not. Easy.

You're probably wondering why I comfortably had enough time to even blog about this ~~shit~~ thing. I just wanted to state the reason why this blog is almost becoming deserted. I'll flood you with beautiful posts when all of this is done.

I need time management. I need more time. I need extra effort.

I hate you god of procrastination! I don't need you nowwwwww*fades*

Je suis de retour!

The tiny Tiny

2012-02-08T20:04:00.000+08:00

Today was just like the other normal days at school except that I came home late, at about 7:00, because we had to wait for the seniors to finish their defense. As we waited for them in the school service, I and my friends decided to play at the covered court. While we play, a guy at school called out for the service is departing.

It was really dark when I came home. From the moment I walked in, I knew something was odd and different. I had the feeling of loss. I went to my room, stripped down my uniform, and stared at the mirror. It was my usual face after school. Tired, exhausted. I opened the door of Mom and Dad's room and clicked the television on. It was the 7-o-clock news program running. News about the earthquake flashed here and there. It rather flooded the program.

I became sick of seeing the same news over and over again, so I went down to look for food. I was about to cook rice when I remembered Mom's advice last night, "Always see if you will eat or not. If not, don't cook rice because you'll be wasting."

"Kuya, you eating?". "No." I realized that I have many things to do, and that I was lazy to eat. I cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. Right after, I brought our dog Tiny's food with me and raced to her plate. It was her dinner in my hands. Her last dinner.

I went out, and felt really strange. No one was racing with me to her plate. She was always eager to eat... and she was a heavy eater. I was about to place her food when I saw Tiny lying on the ground. She was never that weak. She was always furious to eat. "Tiny!", I shouted happily as I gave her the sign for dinner.

I heard no response, and felt no movement. I looked at her face. She was pretending to be asleep, I said to myself. No. I never taught her that.

Then from that moment I knew something was different. I tried touching her, and shaking her. Her body feels so hard and cold. I desperately wagged her tail. It wasn't the same happy and naughty tail. She was lying there completely mindless for her dinner. Her most awaited dinner.

Tears pushed down my face, but I held it in. My heart was shouting inside, but I heard no noise. I felt a sudden change of mood - excitement to death. The night turned even darker.

"Kuya... Tiny...", I faced my brother whilst he was on the computer. "What?", his curious response. "What happened to Tiny?", he added. She's gone. I told myself as I weep inside. Words came out my mouth, but my tongue won't let it pass. I was on a loss of words.

I came out again, and stared at my dog's face. It was the same sweet and cute face I'm used to for a long time... but no barking and her childish whines.

I love you Tiny (Oct. 22, 2009 - Feb. 08, 2012) . You will always be my unicorn. :(

I lost no dog...
I lost a sister...
...and that was
my forever dream,
to be an older
brother to
someone...

Yeah 3x

I'm not talking about that groovy song by Chris Brown... which is, right now, out of nowhere, the song I'm listening to.

It isn't just because summer's close - about one more month. Just one more and all the short nights are gone. The days that you have to coerce yourself into doing school works. Or is it because I've been receiving good news in school regarding my grades? I've been very comfortable at home now, and have been getting along well with people. I don't know really. I'm just happy, and that's what matters most in life - to be happy.

On to the next paper.

2012-01-20T19:46:00.000+08:00

I'm through with it... and finally this day marked the end of my emptiness and the chapter of my life where I had to live in depressions and frowns. I feel revived. So light and happy. I suppose everyone, in some part of his life, has to go through these kinds of situations. I am glad to say that I've passed through it. 10 fingers and toes, a brain, a stomach and a heart. Why I'm still complete.

Field Trip 2012

2012-01-08T14:44:00.000+08:00

Last friday's field trip in Batis Aramin Resort and Hotel and Kamay ni Hesus in Lucban, Quezon was sooooo awesome! It was definitely a blast for all of us. It was, also, our first time to have a teambuilding and swimming kind of trip. So, it was indeed a great experience. I don't know, I can't really say anything more.

Dawn of a new day.

2012-01-02T20:49:00.001+08:00

Fireworks... Drawing abstract paintings across the dark gloomy night sky.
My new year's eve wasn't like yours or any other person's eve. I went online and started greeting pips and friends a happy new year, as what most people did. It's a little awkward and sad on how I spent most of my time on the 31st in front of my loyal laptop. But if I hadn't, I would probably do... nothing. Okay. That's how I waited merely.

Adieu 2011

2011-12-31T10:23:00.021+08:00

2011, the year of the rabbit, is... well yeah ending. But I believe it still has a lot to offer in its few remaining hours. Ending such a bountiful year is a happy and sad farewell. This year had many ups and downs. Sure, it had several badcomings, but there were also wonderful happenings.

What about them?

2011-12-24T14:01:00.002+08:00

One glance and you already know what this post would be.
Typhoon Sendong wiped out most of Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and other neighboring provinces. Yes, it happened only few days before christmas. And now that it's just hours away, some still struggle to survive. We may be celebrating our hearts out at this moment, but do we ever think of them? Their situations?

La liberte at last!

2011-12-21T13:39:00.004+08:00

This feels like actual freedom. Well maybe less happy.
The third quarter of school year 2011-2012 just ended. And wow, it ended just like that. Like the speed of light - fast, quick, swift.

A sunset always has its ravishing part.

2011-12-14T18:05:00.002+08:00

Uhmm... this blog... the atmosphere... it's depressing...

Forgive me for having you read all these nonsense and down posts lately. You see, I carry a lot inside. I feel the need to let this all out, but I really don't know how and what to. The problem is, I worry too much about the people around me - what they think, how they act, what they do and how they behave. Everyday, I feel alone and helpless. I feel like I'm passing through days as routines. This may sound so emo, but who cares. No one understands. Not even you.

However as this cliche goes, there is a rainbow after the rain. I may be sad and depressed, but I still do have many things to celebrate and be happy with.

People, yes. People.

2011-12-07T21:29:00.001+08:00

Those people surrounding you everyday. Those of whom you trade words regularly - whom you address as friends. It's as easy at it seems. Making one is painless, too painless that we don't even want to talk about keeping one.

But do you really have friends? Are they just physical friends? They bond, talk, laugh, cry, and join you. Are those all they've got? Are those the only things they can offer?

Bienvenido Diciembre!

2011-12-03T10:54:00.002+08:00

Inspired by that trending topic on Twitter few days ago...

Anyway, I was supposed to make a welcome/whatever post on the 1st day of December. But guess what, I just failed. I don't know what I was doing that kept me so busy that day. Oh yes, I was making this effin' proposal for our science investigatory project. It sounds so hard and complicated, but really it isn't. Since I was informed only yesterday, the day before the submission date, through facebook, I didn't make mine so flowerly. Simple, I wrote what I thought.

"For the sake of passing..." as what my teacher tells us that always went deep through my whole self.

Hey, this post ain't a dump site of school complains!

Rant: Tagged

2011-11-26T19:48:00.008+08:00

Just a rant. I really can't find something to blog about or to insert this tag thing in. So, I most likely have to post this separately.

Obviously, I've been tagged. For the first time. I've seen fellow bloggers being tagged, and I've always wondered how it's like. It is not only happy, but it's also flattering. It made me feel and think that others also notice my blog and myself, and it somehow made me more peppy to post more entries.

This institution that mentally constrains us to things.

2011-11-20T18:54:00.006+08:00

I might sound so upset. Well, 'cause I am. Yes, I am upset and stressed and preoccupied and busy. With what? With school which I forthrightly define as an institution that mentally constrains us to things.

This whole thing just started few weeks ago, and we are so trashed with workloads. I was, actually, supposed to have this weekend to relax and unwind. Go to somewhere - malls and places. Anywhere just to escape whatever it is that I'm dealing with right now. But guess what, things just got worse. Even time won't let me do anything unless regarding school.

Tense and rapture

2011-11-12T17:28:00.002+08:00

First off, thank you to all the bloggers who commented on my last post! Since a lot are asking, I just turned 14 last October. I would also like to thank you for all those kind words.

Now, on with this post. As what I've said in my previous post, we just got back to school last Tuesday. On that day before I go to school, I was a bit excited because finally, I'll be seeing my friends again. The first day was awesome. Although, some teachers already started their lessons since the 3rd quarter will be in a shorter time. So, they need to rush their lessons to cope up. But anyway, my excitement overrode it all.

Getting armed up

2011-11-07T19:58:00.003+08:00

My sem break was indeed, well yeah, fun. Even though it meant just sitting around and doing nothing. We just needed a break after all not a vacation, hehe. Of course, it would have been more enjoyable if we got to go to some place - then it is a vacation! I still wish it can be extended a little more, though.

I am brand new

2011-11-05T17:38:00.004+08:00

As you can see, I've changed my blog skin. I surfed the net yesterday midnight for blog skins and I found this one. It was just a simple gray, white and black color combo skin. It attracted me because of its simplicity. I saw many skins there but most of them are too colorful. And if not, some are too dark and simple. I want something that's simple but still has the unique style.

Some creepy title but don't worry, this won't be creepy at all. This saying just popped up in my mind and I say it relates to my situation now. Well, you see we're on the first week of our semestral break. Well, it feels fun. At first.

Stories from last week - Part II

2011-10-30T22:10:00.003+08:00

Okay. The second part.

We also had some contests for the UN Month like the quiz bee (which I already mentioned on my last post) and the bulletin board making contest. Well, we did a pretty good job and the results were also good. Here's more of the UN and Holy Rosary month celebration.

Stories from last week - Part I

2011-10-28T19:15:00.007+08:00

This week is the last week before our semestral break starts. Although, our break already is late because I heard other schools already started theirs earlier than ours. It's somehow fine because we all know that we're only be all bored and tired of doing nothing inside the house. However, others might take a good vacation or maybe visit their loved ones on All Soul's day. So here's some of the happenings last week.

Happy birthday!

2011-10-22T22:47:00.006+08:00

No, it's not my birthday yet. It's her birthday! Yes, the one above. Haha, it's kind of cute sometimes to take things like this too seriously but who cares. They're still living things so they have all the right to celebrate their day. Actually, I treat her as my younger sister not just a pet. And since it's her big day, I treated her a bath. I did it the second time already and it's still tiring as ever. But it's fine, I wanted her to feel light and clean today.

Just an announcement

2011-10-20T16:43:00.004+08:00

Short post:

If you've noticed, I've been not that active in maintaining this blog. It's just that, I've been doing a lot lately. A lot of school works and any other crappy works. And plus, this week is our exam week a.k.a. the hell week so I've been focusing my mind on the lessons and not on anything else.

A party for a great job

2011-10-11T19:57:00.006+08:00

Another late update. I haven't been blogging that frequent like before because this past few days, I didn't have the time to use the computer because of school works. ~~Freakin~~ school works. But anyway, last saturday, we (Sci-Math Club members) had a small gathering in the school grounds. The club thought of having one because they somehow saw the hardwork and determination of all the members during the Science and Math month celebration. We facilitated all events properly. I won't say perfectly because as a normal activity goes, it also had some minor faults and mistakes.

The circle of friends

2011-10-04T19:27:00.007+08:00

Okay, here's a late post update. As what I've been saying in my past posts, we have been working in a frog project. It's a dissecting one, actually. And GLADLY, we are all done with it right now. Just so you know, I've always spent time with my friends whom I treat as family, last weekend. That's why for me, I've gone through a very very long weekend. It only became long because I didn't do the things that I normally do during this weekends. No need to ask me what are them.

One day of sickness; 4 days of happiness

2011-10-01T08:24:00.004+08:00

Last week, I only went to school in 2 days. Thursday and Friday. That's because of Typhoon Pedring. The effect here at Cavite is not that bad. But as usual you can see trees that fell down and it's kind of dangerous, and it's also the reason why I'm locked up in the house during the storm. But, gladly, this past few days, there were no storm already because Pedring already left the Philippines (yeah). BUT, I heard there are still 2 typhoons on their way to the country. So, let's all pray they will lose their way and not able to go to the Phils. During the rainy days, I've been sick for almost 2 days.

There's this one day in your life

2011-09-25T17:56:00.013+08:00

Yesterday, we watched a stage play, "Florante at Laura", as part of our studying in the said area. We watched the play at SM Southmall, not-so far from the school. It was basically a love story between 4 characters, Aladin & Flerida and the two themselves, Florante & Laura. And the author himself, Francisco Balagtas, related this story to his own life. Apparently, the story is Francisco's himself. Okay, so much for the story's background. Well, I know most of you (especially Filipinos) already knew this one because you are older than me, of course. The story, as I see it, is not-so exciting. I don't like these kinds of love stories at all. Not to be a sad person, but yeah everybody is entitled to their own opinion haha.

Bitter work

2011-09-21T22:22:00.007+08:00

This day, we had our unit tests in the first three scheduled subjects, Science, TLE and History. Well, I say, I did a not-so-great job in TLE because it is basically a quite easy subject for me. You'll only need your common sense to pass. But, of course, you still need some reading. I got 6 mistakes in the test and I'm quite disappointed with it. I was expecting a higher grade but I think it's out of my carelessness and lack of preparation.

Our Sci-Math celebration ended last friday. But it still is sci-math month. And for us, club members, we definitely did a great job in organizing all activities held. Also, it is good to know that all participants did the best they can in all areas. The awarding will be held these next days, i think, and we are all hoping for the first place.

Active on a sunday

2011-09-11T15:45:00.009+08:00

Obviously, today is the September 11 terrorist attack anniversary. Most people especially Americans reminisce not the falling of the World Trade Center and other infrastructures that day 2001 but the heroic acts of the citizens most especially the passengers of the 3rd flight that is to crash on the twin towers. This tragedy is one of my unforgettable ones. In that year, my mom was working in the States. Actually, she's been there for 3-5 years I think. She witnessed the exact happenings. She was only like 5 blocks away from the building. According to her, she saw the people jumping off from the building in hopes of getting out alive. If I was on her shoes that day, I would really feel sorry for the employees of the World Trade Center. But, if it is your time. Then it will be. Others just came out buy food and snacks. Others had an early off. And miraculously survived and escaped death. Okay, so much for being a history teacher. lol.

Excuse me, are you lost?

2011-09-04T11:42:00.008+08:00

We just had a long weekend the other day because of some holiday proclamation. All I did was nothing. Seriously, I wasted my time in the computer instead of doing my projects. As what I've said, we are loaded, so loaded, with projects right now, and I can't just catch that energy to do all those. And plus, we've been busy because last week was full of parties and all. We kept on going out and hanging out. And we're getting home at midnight almost everyday. Well, I say that weekend is tiring. That's why these few days, My head's always aching and muscle pains. It bothers me a lot at school because I need to change my position every now and then. And I felt like an old man enduring back pain everyday. Uhh. That sucked. asdfghjkl.
