school daw oh!

our computer's broken (again)!!! useless old thing...so damn annoying...

well, school has officially started (here in the philippines, that is). it's already thursday and a *lot* have happened.

(i was right, those itchy stuff on my skin were rashes caused by an allergy! dammit, it's still itchy!)

(um...so, yeah. about the 'lotsa stuff' that happened. i'll start with...star wars.)
i didn't get to see star wars!!! arrgghh!!! (that's about it)

and school! ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh...paul's (iv-st. matthew) and greg 's in my elective (business math and basic accounting)!!! OHMYGOSH!!!

actually, he makes me really really nervous. like, uberly. because normally i don't get tongue-tied in front of anyone (that's the thing i can say i'm best at--speaking). that's, like, the thing (i think) i was born to do. you know, speak. in public. but anyways, back to my story. (sorry if i'm such a crappy storyteller. i can so make impromptu speeches and all those other stuff, but stories i'm never good at. darn it. now how am i supposed to make a novel??!!) we were supposed to be introducing ourselves in class then (in english, of course). but when it was my turn, i was so nervous i couldn't speak properly. blech. how stupid. anyways, her's something i wrote in class:

nakakinis! pag andian si paul, tlgang kinakabahan ako! nanginginig pa rin ako hanggang ngaun!!!

i get so weak in the knees, i can hardly speak, i lose all control...(yaddayaddayadda)
shucks, ngaun lng ako kinabahan ng ganito eh! every year naman may crush ako sa class, but i never actually had trouble speaking. like, in english. it's almost (almost!) my first language and i rarely have trouble speaking (which, i think, is the thing i'm best at), but kanina...i stuttered like crazy! ack! i hate that!!!

it's not like it was embarassing or anything (it wasn't). it's just that i never had trouble spaeking before (even in front of a guy...or the whole student body population). but kanina...ohmygosh...i could hardly breathe. it was like my heart wanted to run out of my chest. i could even hear my heartbeat inside my ears. damn! now how am i supposed to get through the year???!!!


that was something i wrote in the middle of class orientation. (i was bored. and nervous.) but then i noticed that my (extremely pesky) seatmate (henceforth called erich) was staring at the stuff i've written. again. which she has been doing THE WHOLE FREAKING DAY. doesn't she have a life (or something else to busy herself with)? and hasn't she even heard of "mind your own business"? or has my private life become public propert without me knowing it? last time i checked, i wasn't a celebrity. i wasn't even popular. but whatever. i guess that's the exception that proves the rule, right? (but i still hate her, though.)

anyways, here's something else i wrote when the computer was broke and mom hadn't yet bought a new laptop:

nanggaling kami sa dfa and gsis kanina.

we had to get up super early dahil dun ^. about 6.30 or something. kainis nga eh. and let me tell you, i am so not a morning person.

pero i'll cut the crap muna. inaantok na ko eh. what i wanted to say was that when we went to manila kanina, nadaanan namin papuntang gsis ung ginagawang SM Mall of Asia. yeah, i know, crappy name. but ohmygosh, it was AMAZING. and HUGE. REALLY HUGE. even though it was just, like, a quarter of the way through. which sucked a bit. pero okay lang. next year pa naman ako mag-cocollege eh.

nung dumaan kami kanina, sabi ni mommy 1998 pa daw un project ni henry sy (or whoever). and when were they palanning to tell me? in 2008? but it's okay, i guess, because at least i have to wait for a shorter time na lang. kasi if they told me earlier (like, in 1998), then i would've had to wait for 7 years pa. which is almost double my age at the time. at least now i only have to wait for a year or so.

the place looked great, especially for something only a qurter of the way through. it's spposed to be the biggest mall in asia (or so my mom said). like, even bigger than megamall. and i repeat, it was HUGE. REALLY HUGE. it even had this sort-of dome in the middle, which, my mom said, is going to be where concerts'll be held. like the araneta coliseum. and it had all these different parts and stuff, with cute shapes and all. the left- and rightmost wings of the buildings were sort-of circular, too like in sm dasma. which is really nice. i like circular buildings. they're cute.

now i'm just imagining what it'd be like when it's all done. i mean, it's so enourmous i'd probably get lost or something. but it's okay. the more space, the more shops! mother even said that there were going to be, like, 20 cinemas. and with that much space, i reckon they could *at least* have one huge bookstore. i just wish it's be like the one in taiwan which is open 24 hours and people can stay and read. i doubt the 24-hour thing though. you can't have evrything, right? i mean, a HUGE selection of food, about a million clothing shops, 20 conemas AND big bookstore? sounds like a little peace of heaven to me!
