feeling nostalgic..

damn...

it's so hard to let go of something that made you discover who you really are...

the baccalaureate mass was held this morning and i was getting too emotional.I can never forget my life as a bosconian...it made me who I am today...

I was walking around the school before I left with my friends and I remembered a lot of moments we shared which added to my longing.I can remember the first day I stepped into the school as a first year student. I remember how i first made friends with the people I call my friends right now.This school was the one who made me more strong and bring out the best in me.It made me more social and I appreciated myself.Despite the problems,I eventually made it through together with my friends.I can never forget the people who helped me.From the first person I talked to and the first people I ate lunch with,my first busmate,first seatmate,first enemy and so on...Those were the people that made my high school life most memorable.And I will never trade that experience for anything else.They made me feel loved.I remember how I save money to buy some clothes and some tapes.All the outbounds and all the days we spent in the mall with my friends and classmates.We usually watch movies every week and eat in restaurants like Wendy's,Jollibee and Carl's Jr....I realized how important I am.the bonds i formed with my friends and classmates are forever placed in my heart and no matter where i end up,those will never be replaced.It was in Don Bosco that I found my friends whom I connected with and whom I trusted my secrets with. It was in this school where I found the people I can converse with the same interests and passion.I will never have the opportunity to sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher as a bosconian.In just a few hours,I will finally be an alumni of the best school i ever had been on and im so proud of it.

i can never make it through without the help of the people I loved:

1-4 family-one of the most memorable years i had.This was the section where I had my first friends.

2-7 family-haha...too many happy moments.i remember how i usually played volleyball during lunch time.

3-4/4-3 family-THE BEST!
-->i can never forget this people I considered my family

my teachers-thanks for all you taught me..i will never forget them..

to all the friends that i made during my short stay in Don Bosco Makati...i will never ever forget you and i hope you feel the same..

once again.....CONGRATULATIONS and GOODLUCK from the bottom of my loving heart...

Batch recollection

so we had our daily graduation rehearsals in the morning but this time,it was held in the Savio Dome where the actual graduation rites will be held and we also had our sitting arrangement in the St. John Bosco Parish...we were told that we should have our haircut for the APSA to sign our clearance....damn..i also paid for the Wacky class picture..

then during the afternoon,we had our batch recollection,we were assembled first in a CAT style formation before we entered the Joy Center..when we got inside,we were given a small paper where we should write a profile of ourselves for the yearbook...i dunno what to write about myself....anyway,it's still due tomorrow...moving on,when we finally settled down in our assigned places in the joy center,we were given our Manila Paper again but unfortunately,the Manila Papers of our section was lost....damn...but anyway,we had a game afterwards,wherein we had to remember our previous sections in our past years in don bosco....it was fun..after that,we listened to 4 songs that has a common theme..then our folders were given to us for our friends in the other section to write a message on it like what we did with the class recollections..it was so fun...i had many people including my former classmates to write on it..then we had a party.....but the party was more of a riot though...people were so messy on the center of the venue....then we were given free snacks from Le Coeur De France and a drink..then we resumed the message writing while some people performed onstage....then the recollection ended....huhuhu....so many memories in don bosco...i wish i could turn back time and make everything better..

i went home in time to see American Idol and feel sorry for Lisa Tucker...im not really shocked to see Katharine on the bottom 3 since i think she butchered Christina's The Voice Within..but i was really expecting Bucky to leave the competition...compared to Lisa,Lisa deserved to stay one more week...and with Country theme next week,im sure Bucky and Kellie will excel..

it's our baccaulaureate mass tomorrow...im so nervous since my grandparents will be there..hehe...but i'll try to make this last mass with my batchmates a memorable one..

Wonderful recollection that made my high school ending so happpy..

oh my gosh...i don't know how to start...

we had our recollection last night and it was so fun!!

we started to buy food for dinner at around 6 pm...but only some went to the grocery to buy the food...most of us played basketball/soccer/volleyball/billiards while waiting for the food...the food they bought was barbecue...so our meal consisited of bbq,rice,tuna and soup and orange juice...but the dinner however,started at around 9 pm because the cooking took so long....anyway,we had fun ball games while waiting....i got to play volleyball with my classmates and i also got to shoot basketball in some hoops...and i even got many number of shots!!i didn't know i could be good in basketball...haha...finally,i got to enjoy basketball because of this recollection..before the meal started,Fr. Vester told some important matters about the schedule and some good news about the graduation...we had the dinner fashioned in a "Last Supper" style...

then we were allowed to play basketball and go swimming until 12 mn...so i had another game of basketball and i went swimming...which was unforgettable...

finally,the recollection proper started in the Bosco Hall afterwards..

the mattresses were laid down so we could sit on them...we had a blast from the past as Fr. Vester showed us again a product of an activity we did during our last retreat in Batulao....he gave us our Manila paper with our drawings on it by group...he spread it out on the floor and we were asked once again to sit by groups because he reminded us that we'll never see them again...and he said some inspiring words that made some of us cry...

then we had another acticity which was synonymous with a previous activity we had during our past retreats but this one was way better...we were given ballpens and folders and the folders were passed around for us to write some good comments or messages about each other...but this was way better because we had longer time to do it and we really are inspired this time to make some change and really write something good about one another..but i don't really want to tell what i wrote and what was written but the messages written and those who wrote made me feel appreciated...the activity finished around 2 am...

we went to the convent afterwards without any footwear..we went to the small chapel where we had another similar activity called Lakbay Diwa where we use our wild imagination...then after that,we were asked to read the messages in the folder and i was really touched...i am surely gonna miss my classmates!!!
we were asked to put the folders in the altar one by one when we finish reading it and pray a short prayer for each other,after that,we touch the cross and put some Holy Water...Fr. then asked us to make some gestures toward each other to show peace or express sorry for each other..

we went back to the Bosco hall but we were asked if we would like to go to McDonalds and everyone agreed to go there so we had a mini walkathon by using a different route towards McDo...we ordered some food before we came back to school....the recollection officially ended and some of us slept while some went home and some spent the whole night awake...i,however,didn't expect that i'll fall asleep because there was limited cushions and i didn't get one,but fortunately,i found some friends to share cushions with..i slept at around 5 am and woke at around 7 am....i took a bath afterwards then proceeded to the graduation rehearsals for the day...

we were asked to sleep for the two periods after recess because everyone lacked sleep and it was shown in the peformance of the class during the morning..

anyway,that's how the recollection happily happened...i wish i could spend more time with them still and i hope i don't losee communication with them....it's the best class ever..

finished passport!

we had the year-end mass today...which means that i got to finish most of the passports...so im happy that all i have to wait for is the signature for the graduation rehearsals which we started this morning...

it's final...our graduation song is "The World's Greatest".We also practiced the entrance and the flow of how we're going to get to the stage and receive our diplomas....we also had our sitting arrangement..

i bought a new case logic for my cds and i also bought Hilary Duff's self-titled album...

it's our recollection tomorrow....i hope i enjoy it...and i hope it's a meaningful one...

so happy...

yehey...finally,i got a new discman...i can't believe it...my mom actually bought me one.....for $30 in Target.....it has a cute color and aesthetics and it plays fake cds well not like the previous one...haha...

i also heard a clip of Christina Aguilera's new music from her next album...it's entitled "Candy Man" which she says is the happiest track on the album...but the album is called "Back to Basics" because she says that the songs are inspired from the very early music such as the 1920's...i don't know if i'll like it..but im quite excited to hear some new music from Christina..

we'll start our graduation practices this week....im sure it will be boring and so painful to the ass....we'll be sitting our butts off for the whole day of practice...ughh...i wonder how we'll manage to finsih the practice even if not all of us are finished with the passports and clearance...i mean,they said that the office of some principals are supposed to be done individually but how can we do that if we're practicing....i don't want to take an overtime...then there's also class recollections not to mention the batch recollection...all of those in one week...

ahhh....the final week in don bosco.....so many memories....

day 2 of passport signing..

whooooo.....

my body is so damn tired of running around for other people's concern.....

oh well....at least those people are people i care about....i mean, a lot are wondering why im the one who's taking care of the passports of the class,the teachers,other students and even my classmates..well it's not because i was told to do so....i just want to do something good before we graduate...

so far,im doing good.....i think....at least for most of us who has completed our requirements....the only thing i need is the year-end mass and the graduation rehearsals...and the recollection on tuesday..but my academics and technical subjects are done...but sad to say,not all of us...yet...

i wanted to watch a movie but since im doing a busy job, there was no time for me to have fun....unlike others who are just playing or strolling in the mall whule im

chicken little,out!

im back...

as i was saying,im glad lisa survived....im so surprised that she was in the bottom 3 again....i mean i finally actually loved her song....it's so infectious...but i feel that she's a powerhouse that will be eliminated early...too bad....

back to this week's happenings at school...we had some seminar last Monday about Revit thingy....but it was so boring....and the bad thing about it is that we had to go through it the whole day...

then i didn't go to school last tuesday since it's useless...instead,we went to the beach....but it was boring too.....t least i didn't get darker....

i hope our passports and clearances will be over soon...i want to graduate..which i already am.....

anyway,i bought Ne-Yo's "In My Own Words" since it's a bit cheaper than the regular cds....it only costs P336....i wonder why such low price.....i wish cds were at least in that price...but my discman is broken so i still can't listen to it...i ask my mom to buy me a new one in states but i doubt it that she'll buy me one...

oh,i had my friends sign one of my school uniform....which many people are doing right now....and i just can't stop think about how i'm gonna miss them....tsk tsk tsk..

i'll really miss my friends....

oh well....

final exams!!

ok...so i haven't blog for quite almost a week.....because i was so busy completing my requirements and studying for the exams...

yesterday was the first day of classes, we had filipino,religion and physics...filipino and religion was ok but the physics exam was a nightmare!!!all the problems and equations i studied was not included.....so i don't really have an answer in the problems..

thent today......we had english,economics and calculus....i was ok.....but the math was not as hard as i thought it would.......but im still afraid to fail..

we're gonna have technology and trigonometry tomorrow!!!im sure both are hard....

oh...and speaking of tomorrow,...tomorrow is the last time we will ever wear our school uniform....ahh....so much memories...

we're gonna have another recollection by class and one by batch...im sort of excited....

anyway,i watched american idol yesterday, chris rocked the house,kellie bored me to sleep,lisa and kathy showed great performances,mandisa performed without her shoes,paris was great but im not sure if i want another Fantasia,elliot and ace just did ok,kevin made me wanna dance with his song,not his voice,and not to mention,boasted about being a sex symbol again,bucky was compared to jessica simpson,taylor was still the same.....so overrated....and of course,Melissa screwed her song in front of Stevie Wonder and in front of the judges and America!!!...so happy that she's out!!!!it should have been Ayla in her place...

anyway,i hope the year-end decision for me will be positive...

and i hope to pass all exams....i just don't want my grades to decrease so big...

Airline Movies

well....as i said...my mom bought some dvds and i can't help to watch it.....

so yesterday, i watched Flight Plan and Red Eye consecutively...both movies were great...the former movie really got me puzzled and the latter has Rachel McAdams look too young to be a hotel manager..

then i also finished my project in Math......finally...

today,we had a symposium about coco fuel thingy....but it was all too boring...we filled up the BIR form 1700 in economics and we watched Milan in Filipino...we had a quiz in Math then lecture in Physics as usual...we finished discussing the approaches in literary criticism and started discussing literary trends..and the deadline for the novel analysis was moved on Monday...then CADD was the same....still a pain in the ass..hehe....

ahhh....i can't believe our days in don bosco is just numbered and we're gonna be in our respective colleges soon....how time flies by..new friends...new environment...new challenges...oh well..

happy to fail

hahaha....im so happy to fail the UPCAT.....not that i hate the school or what but i just don't want to live in my grandma's house and im not so sure of my course...but anyway,im already finished waiting for my college exams results....finally...

anyway.....let's talk about American Idol....as i said,the girl's night sucked but the male's night was a bit better...Kevin was compared to Chicken Little,David has stuck with what he does best but the band got more appeal though,Taylor still acts like an old man,Gedeon did a ballad,Sway made a karaoke performance,Chris rocked the house....to name a few happenings...

in the eliminations,carrie Underwood sang her hit Jesus,Take the Wheel...then it was time for the elimination....girls were first to be cut.....the bottom 3 were called,Brenna,Kinnik and Heather...Brenna was first eliminated....and she has still the arrogant attitude even if she got eliminated....then Heather was cut..i feel sad.....i think Kinnik was suposed to be cut but it's ok....i don't really want Heather to be in the Top 12 cause i already have my Top 6 among the girls....anyway,it's the boy's turn already....the bottom 3 were called,Sway,David and Kevin....waaahhh...i didn't expect Kevin and David to be in the bottom 3....i was wishing they could be in the top 12..anyway,David was eliminated first....waahhh.....then Sway was cut......haha....no more Pinoy in the show...well,i hope Kinnik and either Melissa or Mandisa mess up next week and that they will be booted out next week....because i want Kellie,Kathy,Ayla,Paris and Lisa to be in the top 12...speaking of Mandisa....i couldn't dare to look at her during the eliminations with what she was wearing....she was wearing a tube kind of attire and her arms were so so so huge!!!and she keeps on raising her arms during the group performance and her body was like every contestant combined...waahhh...for the boys,i just wish Taylor and Gedeon gets booted next week...i know Taylor has potential but i just can't appreciate him for some weird reason...

so i've finally have my top 12:
1 Lisa Tucker
2 Katharine McPhee
3 Paris Bennet
4 Ayla Brown
5 Kellie Pickler
6 Melissa McGhee or Mandisa Hundley
7 Chris Daughtry
8 Will Makar
9 Ace Young
10 Kevin Covais
11 Bucky Covington
12 Elliot Yamin

my mom arrived from Jakarta last Friday and she told me before that she might not be able to buy dvds so i didn't give her a list...and i deeply regret it....she was able to buy a few...and it could have been many if i gave her my list....

here's what she was able to buy:

Wedding Crashers
Flight Plan
Red Eye
In her Shoes
Legend of Zorro
Firewall
Zathura
Monster in Law
Are we There Yet?
Prime(defective though)
Chronicles of Narnia(defective also)

and we actually watched Weding Crashers today....it wasn't as good as i expected but it was a nice popcorn movie...i heard my dad has a Jakarta flight this week and i hope i can give him my list...

our projects are piling up.....and the deadlines are fastly approaching.....and im trying to do it all....then we also have an outbound in Subic this Friday...im excited...

that's all....holler back..

Aftershock..

ok...

so i'll get back to reality now and move on...

classes were suspended last monday because of the political crisis thingy....then classes were resumed yesterday...

we went to the Philippine Stock Exchange today....we didn't get to have our ash cause we were pulled out during communion...but we got some ash after the trip....our ride was a real headturner....we went there on a convoy by riding schoolbuses....hehe......when we got there,we stayed in the entrance of the building and there were lots of smokers so i really got pissed off by the horrible stench...when we finally got inside,we were told that we cannot sit down!!!.bummer.so we had to look at the whole trading floor,stockholders on their trading booths and the electronic board while standing.....we got oriented about the history of PSE...there were actually two stock exchange before...one in Binondo and one in Makati...the one in Makati was called Makati Stock Exchange....of course....or MKSE....and the other one is i think was named Metropolitan Stock Exchange....but they both unified and the PSE was formed..the orientation guy told us how the electronic board works....we finished the activity early and we got to school by lunch....

we had regular classes for the rest of the day...

during PE,we had a test and i got a perfect score...glad to say....

then i watched American Idol after i got home....

the girl's performances sucked...sad to say..the only striking performance was that of Ayla Brown's...i got a good feeling that Brenna and Heather or Kinnik might get booted this week...which they deserve...the others were just a so-so performance......most are boring...their song choices was bad this week..especially to those who sang slow songs....there were some who had great vocal range but the song was really boring....especially Katharine and Lisa's performances.....Paris comes close....which is really disappointing since i like them..

anyway,the UPCAT results have been posted in the UP campus but it's not yet posted on the website...darn.....
