the azure

after a long period of darkness,,,
rain...rain...flowing water...
dark scary clouds...
the strong gush of wind...
the boredom that accompanies these events
..finally..
finally...
the sun is up again..
to show its might and power...
to radiate its beauty upon me...
the sky...
oh the clear blue sky...
like a pool hanging from above..it sends me a brighter mood...
it makes me more confident...
it moves me...
it makes me alive...
yes...
alive once again...


just an on-the-spot poem i made...
this tells my mood right now...
i really do hate the rain....
that's why I'm happy for the appearance of the sun today!

sweet frustration (a light verse for my English class)

Amidst the feelings of desire
From that moment of regretful silence
Through the cold sleepless nights
Until something was created
Beneath her innocent flesh
Like a seed growing from the inside
Despite the evil voices in the dark
Across the vastness of her thoughts
Between a YES and a NO
After all the confusion
In spite of the doubt and the fear
During the time she was given
Down the end of the rope
Above all the pain and suffering
Out of her, an angel was sent.

this was the light verse i was able to produce as an assignment for my English class...
our topic?
obviously the use of PREPOSITIONS>>>

a sunny day, at last!

wow...
it feels so good..
i feel so alive!
i feel so me...

for the first time after so many days of rain...
the sun is back again..
oh..
sure i'm gonna love this day!

mom just arrived

early this morning, my mother came after around 5 hours of travel from our town to Baguio. She is here to attend a teachers' seminar this whole week. She is now staying at my dorm as a transient and i will be sleeping with her in her assigned room.

Hope we'll have some time to go out as well..
=)

just finished my physics 11 exam

exam was done..
good thing all the discussions went well...
plus the readings helped din naman...

and the lectures were good...
magnetism,
electricity,
atom..

and i love the topic on waves..
really nice..

hope to get a good grade sa exam...

reading False Pretenses by Catherine Coulter



started reading this book yesterday around lunch time..
it's a nice book..
good plot,,
great characters...
unexpected twists...
even if this was her first suspense novel,,it really worked out fine,...
I'm now on its last pages..
i still don't know what to expect..
would it turn out as a happy ending for Elizabeth and Jonathan?
would Dr. Christian Hunter, the shrink who saved and who was madly in love with Elizabeth and who actually killed Timothy Carleton, be discovered as the killer?
how would Catherine and Rowe end up?

oh.,.
still too many mysteries,,,
hope to have a blast in the end...

oh no..,i was wrong... it did rain during the Graduation Day!

after a sunny and warm lunch with Ate Mika, Kuya Josh (who graduated that day) and Alodia... we went back to our campus to check the graduating students...
by around 2pm, they were requested to form their line for the march to the Convention Center...
pictures here, pictures there...
click! click! click!
the graduating ones in their white/cream-colored Barongs and dresses.,..
so nice to see...
i also had pictures with some of my closest friends,,,
but then, the sun began to hide,,
thick gray clouds started to cover the sky...sending me a chill,.,..
on no..

while we were at the 2nd floor of IB building watching the crooked line of students,..
shouts of disappointment flooded the parking lot due to a few drops of drizzles that lead in a seemingly unending rain!

"OH noooooooo!!!"

"Shit, ulan...."

"Dali, sa IB..."

"..dun tayo sa lobby...!!"

"whyyyyyy!!!!!"

different expressions from all over...
and it also mad me sad coz i was expecting a fine weather as well...
not to mention i was only wearing short shorts (as in really short...) and a thin piece of blouse with almost exposed back...(haha..i was really optimistic that the sun would be up...)

the rain fell for a very long time and all of the graduating students tried to save their clean dresses from the downpour... make-up,. headdress and high-heels included...

i felt the cold wind,..
and i hated that feeling...

it was raining...
AGAIN....

so we just decided to ride a taxi though the convention center is just in front of the university..just a few mild steps away..but we just can't pass the rain...
a really impossible thing to do that moment...

despite having my umbrella with me while riding the taxi..
i still got soaked...oh no...

but we still managed to get to the convention center alive...
but not happy of how we look..
so wasted...
so cold..

i just told you all...
i really hate the rain..
and this is just one reason for it...!

UP graduation 2009




...after the hard work and the trials...
the sleepless nights with dark coffee for researches, papers, exams, presentations, thesis...
at last, the DAY has come..
oh...
super happy for my friends na magmamarch na mamaya...
happy kasi alam kong this is what they really aimed for din..
before the challegnging life after this...
pero sad din kasi aalis na sila..
marami pa naman akong kaclose na graduating..
paborito and love kong nga Kuya and Ate ko dito..
pero..ok lang basta continuous and communication...
just praying for a successful life for them...
SALUTE!

class on Graduation Day...oh no.... plus lunch date with a few close friends...oh yeah!

we just had our class in Physics 11...
well, ok lang naman..

kaso i expected it to be canceled for the Baccalaureate Mass so my mind was somewhere i haven't explored yet...
eh tapos na,,,wala na ako magagawa...
pumasok pa rin ako..

anyway i learned something naman..
about the 'Electromagmetic Radiation' thing...
that it is produced by two objects (like a cellphone and a computer/speaker/radio) when they tend to be close and if a message was received, a sound will be heard due to the interaction of the magnets (or whatever it is) within the equipment...

haha..
practical application...

and a magnet close to something like a cellphone or TV could totally damage the functions of that device...
well..
it shows that i still pay attention though i think we shouldn't be seating there a few
moments ago..

well..
right now, just waiting for the time to tick 12 'coz i have a lunch date with Ate Mika, Kuya Loren (probably) and Alodia...
good to eat with them..
it's been a long time since i've done this..
looking forward for the nice food that will be served...=
)

plus happy din ako because the sun is shining brightly...
after so many days that the sky was gray and crying..
finally the sun has shown its beauty...
yeah...
maybe for a better day for the graduating students..
(and for me...haha)
*wink*

a gloomy Tuesday


for another morning, i woke up with the sun concealed by the thick clouds out there...
again, my day began with a bad mood due to this.
the weather is cold...


Physics11 class just ended.
the result of our exam was released.
good thing i got a passing mark -- higher than i thought...haha.


i can't see the sun..
thick clouds are all over...
plus there's always a cold breeze brushing in my arms which makes my goosebumps visible (oh i really hate them)...

hope that the sun would shine later...
for a longer period of time..



oooopps,,,
gotta go...

it's time for English 1...

physics 11 first long eXam....

KAGABI
i tried to review 'til past midnight my lecture notes in Physics together with the heavy Physics book i borrowed from the library. i also opened my mail and saw that Sir Ian already sent me the copy of the past lessons. unfortunately, i wasn't able to have it printed because it consumed 12 pages and it cannot be copied perfectly on MS Word - some figures and illustrations cannot be pasted and the equations were all scrambled up when i tried to copy the whole lecture.

good thing my notes are quite clear and complete - i think so.

KANINA
i woke up early to get prepared.
i arrived 20 minutes before the time... so early.
Sir Lem took charge in giving us our exam... no problem with me.

the bad thing was that the test paper and exam sheets which were distributed are all color brown (and the paper seems to be in bad condition) and the words were really blurry (and there were horizontal blank lines which made reading more difficult). i was able to finish the exam but i'm not sure if i got them right. another thing is that some questions weren't discussed (like the topic on Conservation of Momentum).

just hoping to have a passing mark.
i'll try to do better next time.

ulan ng ulan....nakakainis na,,,parang hindi summer!!!

i went or the school library to borrow a book in physics and to use the Internet to check my mail if i already got Sir Agulo's readings...
i came here while the sun was brightly beaming from above, it took me a couple of minutes before i was able to choose which book to pick.
when i came to the Serials Section of the lib, i was shocked to see the heavy rain fall! it was just a matted of minutes when the sun was just around.

so sad...
i really hate the rain like what i'm usually saying in my blogs.

i can't feel it's summer.
what the fuss!

Camp John Hay Eco Trail for PE2 summer class

i woke up early this morning to prepare for the first meeting of my PE class (Outdoor Recreation). when we arrived in our room, Sir Florendo just started discussing our course outline.

after a few more words, he said that we could have our break for around 20-30 minutes before our first activity - we will be travelling be foot to Camp John Hay to finish the Eco Trail located there. i was really surprised by this early announcement. i was only wearing a sleeveless and a jacket on top, with my tight skinny jeans and posh flip flops...O-M-G! i wasn't even prepared for a walk. i thought that since this is the first day we were only about to submit our class cards to him. but since this was the class that i enrolled, i have no choice but to agree on whatever our Prof's decision will be.

After a few minutes, we gathered to the main entrance of the university and then we began to get moving. i walked with my friend Jenica who is a resident of the same dorm i'm staying in as well. we knew each other since first year and we've been classmates in most of our subjects the previous sem. another good this was that both of us wore the same type of clothing - at least may partner ako...haha.




we reached the gate and began the trail. the grass is wet due to the rain last night; the ground is muddy which made our descent more 'dangerous' since we were afraid of slipping here and there; the frogs are all noisy... making our trail more irritating for me. but despite all these, i really loves the scene - the tall pine trees, the dew on the leaves, the rays of the sun trying to penetrate through the woods, the imbalance between the coldness and the warmth in the trail.




i also enjoyed a number of bridges (hanging and wooded ones) which we passed in order to get to next place, which ironically Jenica hated the most. she even cried at the sight of the first hanging bridge we were about to pass.



it was almost an hour of ups, downs, curves, and skips before we were able to be on the main site. yes it was exhausting... really exhausting...

we rested for a couple of minutes and then started our way back...
oh no..
not again....

the sky is gray with heavy clouds...i'm really afraid it might rain.
oh i hate the rain!

so when Sir told us that we are dismissed once we finished our way back, we hastily get on our feet and walked as fast as we can with the most careful steps we were able to make.

another draining hour of walk.
walk. walk. walk. climb. descent. here and there.

this time, we were more relaxed since we already knew the path.
we were also able to take a few pictures even in the hanging bridge.

(midway, i saw a crab around 3 inches long. i tried to move it and saw it was alive indeed. i was shocked to see an orange crab on the woods... i even told my other classmates about it before moving forward. Sir Florendo saw it as well and said that one classmate took it with him...haha)

well... it was such a nice experience... though it really made both my feet tired. this is my first time to travel that trail and it was fulfilling for me.

hope for another crazy adventure from this class...
most especially, looking forward in going to Sagada before summer class ends...

loaded with schoolwork..

dami na agad ginagawa...
daming readings..
yung iba di pa nesesend ni Sir Ian sa e-mail add ko..
but i'm enjoying our class activities so far...
mejo pinagpapawisan lang kung recitation mode na..haha...
pero sana masanay na lang...
buong summer term din to..
so sana everything will turn out to be fine..
i'll pray for this...

goodbye vacation, hello summer class...oh no..

after just having less than 2 weeks of break from the toxic life from the university, here starts another set of weeks to go crazy over loads of school works.

my summer class just started yesterday...good thing it went out fine despite of having the worst expectations that i had since this is my first time to enroll for summer studies...

i think class would last for four to five weeks, final exams included.

hope to enjoy all my subjects - Physics 11, English 1 and PE2 (Outdoor recreation)..

and hope to have new friends too...

by the way, i will be staying at the UP Ladies' Dorm during summer... for the first time as well...
just hoping to have sound sleep there...
hahaha..
though there are rumors saying supernatural beings live in the place..
may they leave me in peace...

a friend from abroad called..

a Malaysian friend just asked for my number last night and i really didn't expect that he would seriously call after that.. Around 10 pm this night, he just called. I wasn't able to answer the first one because my cell phone was in silent mode and it's battery was wearing low.. At first, i wasn't really sure who was calling me and then he texted me and asked it id was really my number. I replied and said yes, asked him to call me if he can.. and he really did.

We just had a short conversation since the line was choppy and i can't hear some of his words, but i guess we understood each other more or less with accuracy.

He actually sounded like a Chinese, which really shocked me because he was an Australian who was born in Iran and is now at Malaysia..what a world tour!

We bid goodbye and he said he would call me sometime "later" - i don't know precisely what that means.

After putting down the phone, he texted me to go online so we could chat but i read the message late because i took a bath first.

Hope he would call soon...
again.

reading the Zahir by Paulo Coelho

i haven't finished this book yet because I've been so busy with lots of stuffs plus sometimes, i end up sleeping on our couch during afternoons.



But i really love this book..i really love how he wrote each sentence,,



it is enveloped with such magical power to make his readings finish and turn to the next page...



it's really hard to put this book down..

i actually finished reading The Pilgrimage first..

it really took me to another world..

i though it was outside of my self, but then i realized that the character is me..i am also doing my own pilgrimage as i read this book... i think i also felt i was in trance because of the words...

i tried some exercised indicated in this book as well..

really nice..

my brother's graduation...

due to the length of travel from baguio city to tarlac,,
i was very unfortunate to be unable to see my brother march to the stage..
i really tried my best to finish all the processes of my summer enrolment in order to be home early, but despite all the rush and haste, i didn't make it..

one reason for the delay is that i also dropped by SM to buy him a graduation present..
hmmm..
i'm still sad...
his sister was not there to clap for him when his name was called to receive his diploma...
UHLEN VAN R. VILLA,,,

so sad..
so, so sad..
i hate myself...

miley cyrus: the climb

Category: Music
Genre:
International
Artist: miley cyrus


..really nice..
it's been on my playlists for weeks,,,
the words..
the tune..
the inner thought..
i actually don't like miley but i'm really caught by this one...
the MTV is so dramatic as well..
i'm not so much into the way she sang this...
i just love the song...

my first night at the dorm

for summer class, i will be spending my warm (warm nga kaya?) days at the UP ladies' dorm...

i tried to sleep...edi ok na...

pero i think sa simula lang naman eh,,,
