Today was the FIRST time I ever voted.=) and I can say that I was pretty lucky.XD The voting population of mandaluyong isn't that big so when my parents and I got to the school, we were able to finish voting in a span of a few minutes.XD 30 minutes maximum. Hahaha!!

I was scared of nothing. People made it seem like voting this time would be sooo scary. They kept emphisizing the sensitivity of the ballot. But it was all good. Everything went smoothly.=)

I just hope people would respect the results and work together to build a beter philippines. Isn't that what we all want?=)

This summer sem is SOOOOO hard..@_@ I didn't know that ecology would be this demanding. Plus I have a freaking useless lab teacher.. She's not teaching us anything. The school should've just given us the lab manual and left us alone. That's what she's doing to us now. She's not even explaining anything about the activities.@__@ we can do whatever we want.. GAAAAAH..=| Leche..-__-;; oh well.. this sem is about to end.=D and i'm looking forward to my 2 week vacation.^__^

SCHOOL = STRESS.. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH..

My course is getting to me..@__@ oh well.. I WILL SURVIVE!!=)

On a happier note.. The women's chess team MIGHT be the 2nd placer for this UAAP season.=) That's quite an achievement given that the highest the women team has ever gotten was 4th place.. Hahaha!!

After a month of relying on smartbro and globe tattoo.. the wi-fi has finally been fixed!!=) I've missed the internet so much.. Hahahahaha!! Yey for fast internet!!=D anyway.. yeah.. that's all..XDD i just want to share my joy..=)

I joined the Big Blue Fun Run today!=) I was in the 3k one.=) My mum and all of her pals joined the 5k one.XDD

I finished last in the 3k run! WAHAHAHA!!XDDD I was with a couple who I was talking to.=) They talked to me after they noticed that I was wearing the SPCP jogging pants. Their daughter graduated last year and is a track and field member in both SPCP before and ADMU. So they regularly join fun runs.XDD Hahaha!!

Anyway.. By the time I finished there were already a lot of people who were finished from the 5k run and people were starting to finish the 10k run..XDD My mum even finished earlier then me.. WAHAHAHA!!XDD But it's alright.. At least I finished the marathon..=) In any case.. I was just walking anyway.. SO it's fine..=)

I wanna join more marathons..XD They're really fun!! I just gotta wake up early though..@__@

And after the marathon.. My mum and I went to mass.. I slept right after.. And i woke up at around 7 pm.. Hahahaha!!XDDDD

I can't wait for the sem to end..TT__TT This sem has been scary and difficult from the beginning..TT__TT Evil Bio Dept. for even allowing this new curriculum..=|

Burnout by the start of the break cannot be avoided..=| I can't wait for summer to start..=|

Last week, the CHED decided to give us a one week break. This was to give the people who were affected by Typhoon Ketsana some time to get their lives back together before their kids have to go to school. I really think it was the right thing to do.=)

Anyway, I took the time to help out in a few places. I helped my clean up my little sister's school, Jose Abad Santos Memorial School (JASMS). Their school was badly affected by the typhoon. The school is beside a creek. Because of that creek, and the continuous raining, the flood in the school reached 8 ft. There was mud everywhere and the smell was HORRIBLE. @___@ My mum and I helped clean the tables and my little sister's classroom.

While in JASMS, i got to see how devoted the teachers were. They were helping the clean-up! They got there at around 8 or 9 and stayed there up to 4 or 5. I'm not even sure if they're gonna get paid for what they're doing. Their pay is even delayed sometimes. I just found it really heartwarming that there are still some teachers this dedicated to their profession and "kids".=D

I also got to help out in the Ateneo Task Force Ondoy. It was a lot of fun!XDD Hahahahaha!!^____^ I wish I can spend more time there though.=)

I wish I can help again, if school permits.=)

***************

During the break, I got to finish something I've been wanting to finish for a long time.

I FINALLY FINISHED FINAL FANTASY: CRISIS CORE!!XDDDD

The ending is AWESOME!! It was sooo sad.. But the graphics were sooo pretty!! That game has to be one of the best games around.XD

Now on to Dissidia!

**************

Now, I gotta say HELLO to school!!@__@

Last Saturday, 26th of September, the Philippines experience one of the WORST typhoons to ever hit it, Typhoon Ondoy. There was non-stop rain for roughly 24 hours. The winds were not strong, thankfully.

During that day, I went to Ateneo because of a microbio project and because I had to teach little boys in the chess clinic, a fundraiser of the chess team. My mum brought me there. I arrived at 8:30 in the morning. At 9 AM, I walked/ran to the chess room knowing I was going to be late. I was drenched and my shoes and socks were soaked (IT WAS NOT A NICE FEELING @__@).

By around 11:30, Coach Idel already suspended training due to the rain and the news reports that some areas were starting to become flooded. I couldn't leave because my parents and Mang Ompong were stuck in traffic. Some of my teammates and I stayed in the chess room because we couldn't be fetched and we were advised to stay there. We were lucky because a hotdog stand was in the Blue Eagle gym because of the UAAP event happening.XDD So we were still able to buy food. The coached left us but they came back after about 2 hours because after an hour and 30 minutes, they were only able to drive up to Xavier Hall. They got frustrated so they decided to just go back to the gym.XD

By 4 PM, we noticed that the rain wasn't that strong anymore and that the traffic in Ateneo eased up. Tim, Kuya Tong, and I walked to McDo so we could buy actual food.XDD Wahahaha!!

After everything, I was fetched by my parents at 6:30 in the gym.=D I was stranded in Ateneo for 10 hours.@__@

Anyway, it was sort of scary because we could see that the sky looked so dark. At 11 AM, it looked like it was 6 PM.@__@ Plus, I was hearing about how bad the storm was from other people. The flood went inside both Coach Chiara's and Kuya Tong's houses. It almost reached the 2nd floor of their house. I also heard that some of my relatives and friends were severely affected by the floods but at the same time, I was happy that no one got hurt.=) It's a weird feeling. Hahahaha!!

I hope that nothing this bad will happen ever again.

Wake me up when September ends.=|

Hay stress.

last saturday was epic fail day.. well.. at least it ended like it.. the morning was just STRESSFUL..@__@

k-chan and i were the only two people available to help coach chiara in the tournaments of the chess clinic.. the kids there were mostly boys of about.. 5 - 10 years of age..@__@ mostly on the 5 - 8 though.. GAAAH.. a bunch of screaming whiny makukulit BOYS in ONE BIG ROOM is not FUN..@__@ i wanted to hit some of the kids 'cause they were being too rowdy and annoying..-__-;; but there was still this exceptionally awesome boy named terran who wasn't rowdy at all..=) i love that kid..XDD at the end of the clinic.. i just wanted to SLEEP..@__@ i can't believe i'll do this again after a few weeks..

after the clinic.. some drama happened between the team and coach but i won't go into that anymore.. i think it's sort of personal.. so yeah.. after the drama.. k-chan and i got asked to train again.. i now have thursday trainings.. oh well..

then k-chan got a haircut.. and sam and i watched her get a haircut.. oh the fun..XDD no.. seriously.. it was fun..XDD we were laughing most of the time..=D

after that.. we went to my house to prepare for the philippine red party.. so we took a bath.. dressed nicely.. they put on make-up (i refused to do that).. then after mass.. we went to MOA..

while going there.. it suddenly rained.. HARD.. so we were thinking.. "uh-oh.. the venue of the party is open.. there's no roof or anything..".. then we thought.. maybe it's in a tent.. but.. when we finally arrived.. THERE WAS NO TENT.. the party ended early because of the rain..=| there were no bands.. NOTHING.. just people flocking to the mall and shade..@__@ so in the end.. we got dressed up to eat in the.. food court!!

that was.. just.. FAIL..@__@ i mean the organizers should have thought of the fact that it might rain therefore they should at least put a tent over the venue.. BUT NO.. they didn't.. so.. in the end.. the party didn't push through..@__@ i don't mind giving money for it.. it's for PGH.. but.. MOA is sooo far.. the people who went there just wasted time and energy to go there just to get rained on.. i'm pretty sure that some people there dressed up and all that.. haay.. it wasn't planned that well..-__-

oh well.. i still had fun with sam and k-chan..=) more bonding time with them.. hahaha!!

and there ends my fail day.. well.. our fail day..

MUST STUDY HARDER!! I HAVE TO PASS CHEM!! I WILL NOT FAIL!!=|
