November 17-18, 2006.

At 4 pm, i had no class already after my PE, i was excited to go and leave for tagaytay for jecka's debut party but we still had to wait for darcee. she has 141 class from 4 to 5.30. she couldn't leave and skip the class because sir florano gave them a pop quiz. so instead of leaving at around 4.30 as planned, we left 6-ish.
i was giddy when we left because this is my first out-of-town trip with friends and also it is my first time to travel to a place that i'm totally new with, unchaperoned. and that was when i felt it, im officially of legal age. yay! fortunately, we didn't lose our way because we had a map that jecka drew. the friggin' bus that we rode was so friggin' slow, malyn said it was, what do you call it, collorum. when we finally arrived at the place, jecka's tarp greeted us. haha! :D it was already 9.30. we walked a few blocks and came to villa de oro. it was a big place, wonderful garden view. we let ourselves in the house and changed to our party dresses. while flory and marilyn were in the bathroom, their names were called. they were suppose to be in the 18 candles. they didn't get to say their wishes but i know jecka understood.
jecka was wearing a red dress. i looked like pffftt.. haha! well, jecka introduced us to Karl Saringan. he was her co-app in the UP streetdance club and also darcee's social dance classmate last sem. we were introduced to a couple more people. one was jam. John Allan Mark, (did i get that right?) also jecka's co-app and schoolmate during highschool. then there was roy, he was jecka's batch's valedictorian and a met. engg. student at UP.
we ate at around 11.30, god was i famished! i didn't eat any lunch in the hope of eating a lot during jecka's birthday. haha! obvious bang i'm in for the food? haha! joke lang! i couldn't get my chronology right, so correct me if i'm wrong. did we eat first or watch jecka's wonderful cotillion?
well, the cotillion was great, wonderful choreography. we saw jg. haha! wala lang.wait! nauna yung cotillion bago kami naintroduce kina jam at roy. basta yun na yun. after ng cotillion tsaka kami nagkakilala at kumain magkakasama. paano yung sumayaw? ang gulo ko na! haha! basta sumayaw kami ng swing ni karl and then darcee, flory and malyn followed us. jam came along too and danced. syempre nagpakitang gilas naman sila, streetdance nga naman... jam did a head stand. when we were really having fun, some more of jecka's guests joined in the fun. the girls were all-over karl and jam, haha! doing dances that were to the nth level di ko carry. haha! after dancing, i was sweating all-over and was really pumped with energy. it was soooo much fun! we decided to form a group named the UP ooh lala! and our aim was to partaaay! haha! :D we were like party animals actually we were. haha!
when it was getting real late, jecka's highschool classmates played songs. the musicians were girls and the singer was a boy? man? guy na lang. pangalan niya neville. haha, sabi nila flory kamukah nya si teddy ng rocksteddy. he voice keeps on breaking because he couldn't reach the notes of the songs he was singing so everyone was laughing in a good way of course. they were teasing him to get off the mic and stop trashing around. i was sitting beside roy so i was laughing hysterically because of his comments that he keeps shouting to neville. kaya ayun napansin tuloy ako. special mention pa ako. ang sabi "sabi babaeng nakawhite, sorry ah nagkakalat ako." haha! not the exact words but sort of goes that way. i was so ashamed he kept on saying sorry to me that people were looking at me. embarassing, flattering though. haha! tapos etong sina flory at darcee, they kept on teasing me, telling me that he keeps on staring at me. doi, hindi kaya! anyway, after they finished playing he approached where we were sitting and introduced himself. haha, nahiya naman ako sa kanya kaya quiet ako kuno nung nag-iintroduce sya ng sarili niya. nakakatuwa nga eh.
matapos nun, nalaman naming may pool kaya we decided to go and explore it. we sat by the pool and stared at the skies, got to know each other and stay there till 2.30 right? jam and malyn left and went to the other side of the pool and had a heart-to-heart talk. everyone kept teasing and asking what they were doing because it was totally dark! haha! we talked about flory and jg and h. about being valedictorian and many more. we went to the house at around 3(?) we stayed up at the attic along with jecka's other friends. it was fun, a sleep-over! di pa nakuntento, we still talked about love. jam made us listen to senti songs and talked. karl, by then, was fast asleep. when done talking about love and most of us wanted to sleep because we planned to attend our acctg class in the afternoon, jam initiated a prayer. i was actually shocked but not so much since i already new that he was an old soul, was 16 but acted maturely. i qoute"wala sa edad yan, asa maturity." while praying, neville imitated the voices of characters form doraemon. it made me gigle in the middle of the prayer. sorry. haha! after praying, instead of sleeping, roy and flory still talked about love. god, it was starting to depress me because i could not relate anymore. i would have said a lot more if i was still heartbroken or was inlove with someone else, unfortunately i felt numb to it. i slept for like 30 mins. but was awoken by flory and roy still talking.
then the sun rose. dawn came.
we, flory, darcee and i, slept for an hour from 7am to 8. we were so hungry and decided to buy something. we bought bread. when darcee was done eating and malyn was through showering, darcee went next. the water suddenly stopped and good thing darcee was not soapy. we asked if jam could accommodate us in his home and if we could take a shower and eat there. he said yes! so we waited for jecka's father to bring us there. jecka's friends came along too and everyone was dropped to their place.
when we came to jam's house, it was cozy. his mom was welcoming. the lunch was yummy. after eating and taking a bath, we said goodbye. and then karl said that we should first visit the mall and school was already at the back of our minds. so instead of accounting, we went to sm dasma. haha! jam didn't want us to leave too. so we roamed, walked and walked, then finally decided to go home.... flory and malyn said we could have made it to acctg but then again, 'twas fun! everyone headed for each others home...

and that was it for our misadventures!

jeckabels, thank you for the wonderful time.
it was an experience i'll never ever forget!
happy birthday, jecka!

to my new found friends, it was nice knowing you all!
let's get together sometimes. MOA!!!!

November 22.
habang ako'y nagpuntang lutong bahay upang umorder ng pagkain para sa pagdu pakain sa friday which is bukas, ang aking mga ever dearest friends(?) na sina darcee, jecka, marilyn at flory ay nagdesisyong pumunta ng quiapo. iniwan nila ako! masakit yun sa loob ko, ouch! it hurts, it hurts, you know! nalamang kong nagliw-aliw ang mga 'to nang ako'y tumawag sa bahay nina flory upang tanungin ang landline ni ate hannah. gabi na wala pa daw ang sabi ng kanyang pamangkin. ilang ulit akong tumawag, wala pa rin. kaya't naisipan ko na lang tumawag kina marilyn, aba'y wala din ang bruha. (peace marilyn!) hay naku, at that moment nalaman ko na, i was left behind, all alone. waaahhhh... sa mga bagay na pinakaayaw ko ay ang maleft-out sa mga lakad. secondary sa kumain mag-isa. yun lang, nilalabas ko lang. :)

mag friends, maawa kayo, wag niyo naman akong iwan!

tama ba yun? haha! anyway.
tf class. *sigh.* again, only one prof came, my belly dancing teacher who happened to be the same person as my arnis prof during my first year, first sem. when i came to my first class which is panpil 50, i thought my room assignment was 402. 406 pala. ewan ko ba kung anong iniisip ko. anyway, so umupo ako dun. may mga taong nagtanong kung anong class yung sa room na yun ang sabi ko panpil50. sabi nila "akala ko panpil19." may nagtanong ulit, "panpil19?" sabi niya. 50 sabi ko naman. may babae ulit na pumunta dun, nagtataka kung bakit panpil50 yun, eh ako naman may kasama ng nagsasabi na panpil50 yun. di nareinforce ang belief ko. pero nagtaka na ang lola mo at biglang tingin sa form5. tanga! sabi ng napakalaki at klarong mga numero na 406. hahahaha! tawa naman ako. nahiya sa sarili sa pagpapaalis ng mga taong gusto sanang magpaprerog. paumanhin po. yung isa ngang nagtanong ay ang model ng grad pic ng college namin tas nakita ko pa nung hapon sa NCPAG, aba'y malamang pinagtaguan ko talaga. sa PA 111 naman, binigay ang aming syllabus ni ate au. talagang nastress ang plagiarism. hindi rin masyadong obvious na mahilig sa qoutable qoutes ang prof ko dun. akalain mo bawat pahina ng may 2-3 na qoutations. tapos eto pa, bawal kaming magtanong tungkol sa subject na yun sa mga estudyanteng kumuha na ng 111. hay... grabe katakot! pero kaya ko ito! i will survive, CHURNA!

i wonder what challenges and tribulations this sem will bring...
gawd i'm so nervous.

second semester, ay 06-07.
first day sa school laging may kaba.
sino ba naman ang gustong mag-isa?
sana may cute na makatabi, may bagong kaibigan pagkatapos ng klase.
today was the first day of school. i was soooo excited this morning that i came to school 30 minutes before my first class which was archaeology 1. my prof in that subject was the only one (out of 3) who showed up for class. i think i'm going to like him becaause he is fun and eager to teach us stuff.

well, nothing much happened today only for the part where we waited for profs to arrive.

oh and today is janine's birthday, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, JANINE!

bukas kaya? may magandang mangyari?

oh and btw, wala akong cute na nakatabi.. pfftt... hihi!!
