4th Quarter, 3rd year.
We had debates as projects.
The class was grouped into debate teams, each of which is composed of three members.
Since we were 43 all in all, (not divisible by 3)
2 people will have two groups. I dont know what was the basis
when Ms. Cedo chose those two peeps, although they had something in common.
They were both in the top 5. Mau is our numero uno (in what field, bleh?)
and Chili was our top 3 (wAS, coz Ogres conquered that spot after the first quarter.)

Wait. Top one and top 3? pano ung Top 2? Outcast?

It just so happens that I'm numero dos. Mataas naman ako sa english, a.

Pero mas malala pa sa pagkakaroon ng 2 groups ang sinapit ko.
Bakit? Would I blame it to my... uh.. would you call it a group?
Masakit mang sabihin, masaktan man ang masaktan, I didn't feel like I had any groupmates at all.

Ok. First debate, understandable dba?
We haven't seen previous debates since we were the first ones to be picked.
As expected, it didn't turn out to be what you call a debate, it was hardly even an argument.
"This house believes Patricia suffers identity crisis"
That was our motion. Ung groupmates ko? Wala. Mental Block.
It was okay since our opponents ended up with the same fate.
Ok. Hindi siya recorded. We'll do better the next time.

Second debate. Opposition kami. "THB there is a trap in the story"
Good one. Alam ko kasi na may trap talaga.
Nakalagay pa nga yun sa book. Ang dami ko ng evidences.
I still remember my lines really well. Sabi don The girl (Elisa in the story) felt like she was an animal
howling for help and now she was freed from this trap.
Lakas nun. I thought we were winning.
Our opposition leader tried her best, although nothing really came clear
from her. Wala. Mental Block na naman.
Ako na, my duty was to present evidences to counter their claims.
I said when you are in a trap, you want someone to set you free since you
are not capable of freeing your self. (Trap was defined as a situation in which
one could not escape) And that was what Mr. Gabriel did. (Yep, kabisado ko pa, on-the-spot yan a)

He set Elisa free by saying "Run home Elisa, run home."
When you are in a trap, you feel different. You feel unsafe.
Elisa was trapped by her adolesce

Just read something about a man who hopes to be America's most intelligent man by reading the whole Encyclopedia Britannica. Well, nerdy it may seem, I am also interested in encyclopedias especially those compact ones... If only it wasn't that expensive.

New Doggie! +Bellina+
Just received another chain message in my ym account.
It was darn stupid. Way too annoying.
How come peeps believe in such things?
hmmm..
Would somebody send this:
I Love "put your name here" ! pass on If you love him/her truly.
may magfoforward pa kaya? Would it finally end these messages?
Okay lang sana kung tungkol kay Jesus or if it's for a good cause.. pero... ang may mamamatay? ikaw kaya patayin ko?

It has been hard for most of the laity to accept that Joseph Ratzinger is the new Pope Benedict XVI. His face is far from the mold of John Paul the Great's. Well, I'm not really talking about physical appearances. Sino ba namang matatangap kung ang makikita nilang picture niya aysa may ulunan ay parang may dalawang sungay na puti na collar pala ng bodyguard niya.
Sorry pero I have heard long b4 that the pope after John Paul the Great would be anti-Christ. Scary. I do pray na sana hindi totoo.
Oh well.

last week, I received a phone call.
it was creepy.

guess who was on the other line?

( (0) I\l $ (_) 3 I_ (o) --- just hope you can decipher that.

who is she? she's none other than my beloved chemistry teacher.
what makes it unusual?
well, we ( my classmates and I) used to imitate her funny way of speaking.
we had the time of our lives by savoring the words syrindst *syringe* thext book, and even my name - marithurn.
we even had a video and a song - with stephanie imitating her.
again, those became instant hits.
one problem though, she was undoubtedly good to us.
no wonder we feel an unpleasant jolt of guilt inside our stomachs ( no difference to me, my tummy feels that way all the time)
Every time she writes her memos in the BLOGBOARD and lectures us about going to the MGDO, I do agree she does her job well.

okay, back to the phone call.

marithurn: HELLO? ( naghahabulan kami ni kelsey e)
unknown (yet): hello? good afternoon po, pwede po kay marither? (himala, kasalanan bang...)
marithurn: ito na PO, sino PO sila?? (akala ko kasi ung makulit na insurance personnel e)
known (na): ay marither! si mrs cruz ito.
marithurn: (nagulat kasi kaayaaya ung boses) a! mrs. cruz!
known: ui nakuha mo na ba ung card mo? e ung merit mo?
m: opo
known: balita ko punta kayo sa malaysia. kasi may balak kaming mag-asawa na punta sa hongkong...

and that started it all.. usap usap ung dad ko at ung asawa niya... hehe, may balak ata sila mag honeymoon part 2 ni syugern hanei niya e.

FUSSING ON NOTHING

i'm juz wondering why some peeps (considered brainy fer sum matter) waste their money on fortune-sucking review centers.
I've just noticed some poor blokes are seriously thinking mob mentality.
I mean, are review centers the fad among incoming seniors?
Does spending 6-11 thousand pesos on review centers guarantee a passing grade?

even our top one in class bloated she'll be wasting some 11 thousand on LSC...
sounds like crap.
if your one of these peeps, lemme tell you somthin,
if you dont have what it takes then you'll not make it.
thousands of pesos won't guarantee anything.

unless you'll be entering la s*ll* perhaps?
oh yeah... peeple at their are the very most intellectuallity of all at a universities. they is not true that they are spent a many of money for education. is school is very the best of prestidge. espacially in the basketbll gamings. money and coinage is not the matter in this.

p.s.
bakit ba ang mga tao pinagmamalaki pang magrereview center sila? you mean you'll be proud on the fact that you passed just because you spent your vacation on review centers? yan na ba ang uso? wow... sarap pala ng uso. ayon gagastusin mo pera mo para lang magreview. enjoy yun!

What’s with the Philippines?? There’s just too much of everything. Too much of politics, too much of showbusiness. For the past few days, puro FPJ. Open your tubes, there’s still FPJ. Nakakasawa na ang FPJ.
What’s this? It seems that some fools plan an uproar against the government. This time, they are planning to destabilize the government. Watak-watak na nga sisirain pa. They say they’ll have another people power. They want a complete change. Stupid people. If they would really want change, start from themselves!! Tignan kung ano ang mali sa sarili nila. Change should start from each citizen and not from the government immediately. Ano ba yan! They want to unseat Gloria. They want to change the government. Kaya walang nangyayari sa Pilipinas e, kasi masyadong demanding ang mga tao. Bakit mo naman ieexpect na magiging maunlad kaagad ang Pilipinas tulad ng America? May utak ka ba? America did not immediately reach what they are now. It took them hundreds of years to be what they are at present. One cannot expect prosperity from just 5 years! Hindi pwedeng imagic na lang bigla ang kalagayan natin. Mga FPJ supporters, I have a few words for you, HAVE A BRAIN!! One president said, Do not ask what your country can do for you, instead ask yourself what you can do for your country. Let us not only make this an immortal phrase, instead, let us make this a complete reality.

Cencia na mahirap kasi ang magkaroon ng skills. Bigla bigla na lang susulpot ang inspiration to do something. Tulad ngaun, nagkukulay ako ng aking tessellation ng bigla bigla na lang kong naisipang magsulat….

Just came from a YFC bonding. Ayos lang naman, nanood kami ng Harold and Kumar at nagpapicture.. Sayang at di ako makaaattend ng Xms party. Gabi na kasi ang arrival naming e.

Losing one dog... ouch. Losing two... painful. As if losing Chocnut was not enough. But not Potchi, too. We all loved those adorable pooches, and it was twice the pain to lose the dogs you care for, to lose the dogs you've always watched and played with. I miss everything- the sensation you feel when something smelly suddenly licks ur feet, when someone begs more food from you. No one would finish our leftovers, no one would destroy our garden and rip our shoes... the silence deafens me... no more barks and cries... truly their noise is much better than this melancholic silence.. (tama ba? what the heck, i dont care anyways).. We miss them......

The month of merry making and gift giving fast approaches. What can I expect? Time flies too fast. It's just too fast you wont notice things that come in your path. I've seen few (i'm grateful 4 dat) blocks only, but this one seems more of an iceberg. Yes, life flies with time, and you can't help but lose something, especially if its someone... someone you care about. No, i'm not talking about silly break-ups most teens are fearing of. I'm talking about losing someone as young and innocent as choc-nut. I remember the time when I first saw him. He was beautiful. He was blessed with silky hair (?balahibo?) with different hues of brown- light, dark, etc. You could not help but think of choc'lits. He had expressive, deep green eyes that seems to talk to you, as if he wanted to tell you something. Judging from his appearance, one would immediately name him Chocolate or Brownie or Poopoo. continue ko ito

Kauuwi ko lang mga 1 hour ago. (Kauuwi e no)

JUst finished presenting my well prepared Noli project... When I left for school, I realized something- bitin pala ung bonding ko with the toilet! Nature was calling me. what can I do? The first activity was the holy mass, so tiniis ko ang... ang... pagtawag for 2 hours. Another 3 hours, nasa dulo na. (pasintabi) Dibale, I was successful holding it until I got home. Iniisip ko kung anong pwedeng papel, mukha ba ulit ni Lucky Manzano? Well, that was impossible coz gamit na lahat. (nagegets nio ba ko?)

Yesterday, my service left me. The usual SOP: proceed to Gate 3 in case inabutan mo ung pagsara ng gates. I have imagined the black gate of Morgul closing. I was trapped with hideous looking orcs (specifically......) so I fled to gate 3. What I saw? Little hobbits acting like monkies, playing with the rails. They do not need to act like one, since they already looked so. It was already 5, and yet no one came. I had rampaged through my pocket, but no piso there. Only 200 pesos. I was penniless, but not "paper money less". I was already hearing the noisy midget like preps, saying, "Wala ka bang 1 pesos? 1 pesos lang naman." Another one was mad at me cause I could not give her any piso. I decided to ask from some grade schooler I do not know, and she hurriedly gave me 2 pesos, enough for two calls for home.

Whatta Nerd. I guess there's nothing wrong being one. I mean it's better than being stupid, being a flirt or being a nobody. Just hope other people would know first what words they are using before tagging somebody, or maybe they're just low in vocab or not smart enough to read a dictionary. Sam ppol arr jast cannot be abling too has having brains. That are worst, not beterr.
Bakit naman yan ang appetizer? Kasi ngaun ang last day of my sembreak at ang inaatupag ko pa rin ay ang froject sa Noli. Ay my sis is here, me record project.

All Saint's Day Today. Wala lang. Just to remind you in case you accidentally had amnesia. You know, this time around is the Amnesia season. Why so?

Hoy, try niyo lang magpanggap na may memory loss patay kayo sa kin. Except na lang kung medyo may edad na..
Christmas Season=Regalo time
Regalo? Gusto niyo malaman ang wish list ko?

I need help for my Noli project.

BAd TrIp! Bkit ba tuwing halloween I feel so down? I dunno. Maybe I just dislike the very idea of wearing scary costumes e kung pwede namang natural na lang, because its way scarier. I despise the idea of watching horror flicks on halloween, even watching horror-themed shows on TV. Why? Kasi naman eto ang mga tao, magyayaya manood ng nakakatakot (wala lang, nakikisabay sa uso, alanganin namang daw mmag-celebrate ng valentines dba?) then after they've belted their hearts out, screamed their lungs out and popped out their eyes out of fear, yung kaninang mga matatapang ni gumalaw ayaw na. Makita lang nila sarili nila sa salamin e, hihimatayin na! Ano bang meron sa mirror? Bakit ako, I see nothing but a girl who is truly beautiful? Harhar. So, watchout for wet beds this halloween, baka weewee iyan.

Last saturday was the start of my sembreak. Woo hoo! panu ba yan, thursday na? Anyways, I am glad to say that our trip to megamall pushed through after much texting and asking. Show u da pics later on. Guess what? Ticket ko sa woodstruck ay #000001, or lahat ng tao ay ganito rin ang number? For 50 bucks, sulit coz we awed at the grooves of Maneuvers (tama ba? o ako ang may tama? huh?) and dropped our jaws at the sight of Chito! Yep, Parokya ni Edgar was in the.. in the.. parking lot of SM. What a very nice location for a concert. Sayang, da Vinci was not there to marvel at the sight of YFC gals swooning for him. Oi, hindi ako kasali dun a. Watcha think of me, a die-hard fan of Parokya? Teka, batuhin ko ung gulong itlog gulong kong tape and slap u with the autographed picture of Chito in the toilet e. (The latter was just a fantas..myth.)
They rendered four songs. The first one was Halaga. Probably they sang it while thinking how much would the coordinators pay them knowing that the ticket was only 50 pesos. The second one was Mr. Suave. Grabe, Lasing yata sila nun e. Chito kept on babbling about the people who were super active, na tipong nakikisabay sa kanta. that was probably a reversed psychology, an insult. No one recognized that, instead, they even thought they were being praised. Talk about brains. The third song was yes yes show... I enjoyed that while standing on my toes, since I could not get a glimpse of them. The last song was Harana. NO need to explain it. I know it was for me. I t was dedeicated to me. (ung part na, Sino ba tong, mukhang gago, nagkandarapa sa pagkanta at nasisinutnado..) Ehehe.

And I'm Back! After a few million years, that is. It does not matter anyways, because no one has even dared to click upon this link.. kawawa naman. Updates? My second longtest (and probably a death match, a do-or-die, my last resort) in Chemistry is a success. Thank you, thank you for the praises I am hearing now. (batuhin to ng bulok na kamatis!ung inuuod na!) I am proud to announce that I triumphantly earned a 32 over 35 score. Yes, I'm back in the lime light.

Cge tama na. Ano pa ba? May bago kaming aso. Potchi has now a foe to look up to. Si Chocnut. Oh my gosh, I remember that horrible event.. Panalo!Panalo! why chocnut? Kulay tae kasi siya.

Sadly, feeling ko mababa ang results ng mga exams ko. NO more sparks in my eye just like before. No more excitement. Lumipad na. Tinae na ni Chocnut. I need help. Sana may magliwanag sa harap ng mga titser bago cla magbigay ng scores, isang anghel na magpapabago sa isip nila. (anu ba to?)

ei, ngaun lang me nakaconnect.

yesterday was a tuesday, a great day I suppose. All was fine maybe its because I finally received my merit cert. and was informed that i ranked 7.5 overall. Hmmm... It's good. Masaya ako ng sobra although nung dumating ung Chem long test... ho hum.. kahinaan ko na ata iun. I already got the result and its quite low- 20/30.

O! I remember na kung bkit ako masaya yesterday despite y failure in chem. A great friend of mine surprised me nga pala yesterday. I totally forgot all about it and even got trapped in her plan.. That friend of mine was Erika, thank you talaga mare! She asked me a few weeks before what I wanted for Christmas (and probably what I'll get for my birthday, too) and I said an Elephunk cd.. kaso lang it was way pricey.. She hinted she'll try to give me one pero ciempre di namn ako umasa. Akla ko naglolokohan lang kami at dhil alam ko na, susurpresahin na lang ako. I totally got that surpise! The next day binigyan nya ko ng cd ng Mulan, accompanied by a post saying sorry that she could not afford it... Since I'm totally sick of watching Mulan, out of gratitude I returned the vcdand told her na dont give me anything na lang, its ok. Sino ba namang tao ang gagastos ng 450 para sa kaibigan (500 pwede pa.. c Anna na un). Paguwi ko I called her at nalaman kong may neon green na package sa bag ko.. That was what I saw na hawak nia nung lunch.. Inaasar nia pa ko na binabalot nia uli ung Mulan na cd at tinulungan pa cia ng friend nya magbalot.. I was totally pissed off dhil inaasar pa nia ko nun.. biruin mo babalutin uli, not knowing na un pala ung surprise..

I'll never forget na a friend did that for me.. HInding hindi ko makalilimutan na niloko ako ng kaibigan ko. hehehhe

I've been asked to join a contest yesterday, together with gerrimie.. Sayang yung pagkakataon ko.. KUng bkit cnabi lang sa kin na mayroon pala akong sasalihan, nakapaghanda sana ako. Pagkakita sa ibang contestants, mukhang ready cla sa gagawin.. kumpleto ang gamit. Good thing some classmates were generous enough to "lend" us their stuff. (Mareva, bilhan na lang kita ng candy mag..) We dont really intend to win, but i'm sure if I was told earlier, cguradong mananalo kami. Imagine using an eight-piece craypas while others were using 42 colors of their pentel pastels. Surely, they got the edge for a more detailed and sadly, a more colorful monsterpiece. Just hope using recycled materials was one of the requirements (tama ba?) for the said contest. I tell you, our poster looked more of a recycled poster than a poster using recycled materials. But hopefully, it is. Coz' we were the only ones who used such materials. Imagine using the cut face of lucky manzano as leaves. At least he looked good as a tree.

Sorry classmates, another chance down. Better luck next tym. Better yet, better let me know next tym. di ako pwede sumali ng alang alas no. I just hope there will be a next tym.

ako'y tumula... mahaba itich para sa king kapatid.

Kay Bulatekid

Fart mo'y mabaho
Buhok mo'y magulo
Huwag ka sana magpauto
Sa taong gaya ko.

Buhok mo'y kumukulot
Ngipin mo'y nangingilo
Huwag sanang makalimot
Na araw-araw magsipilyo.

Dugo mo'y pula
Na pagnagalit bumubula
Nagbibigay buhay sa madla
Sayangin, huwag sana.

Talento mo'y bulaklak
Unti-unting bumubuka
Pagkalipas maganda
Tulad ng ate na mayroon ka.

Before the summer ends, I would:
1. Have an out-of-town or even an out-of-the-country trip. That way I'll be able to enjoy the remaining days.
2. Learn how to play the guitar. I'm having no success learning alone. If only...
3. Grow a few inches!! I'm desperate... ho hum..
4. Gain new friends through orgs like YFC... I think I already know half of them... For sure there'll be familiar faces from my batch...
5. FInally savor the sweet kellog's poptarts... yummy!!!
