as i've received my course cards yesterday, i was so hopeful to be included in the dean's list.. until a bullet, faster that a speed of sound, shattered this hopeful mind into pieces.. natsc13.
i should be in school by 8am to get two of my cards, but instead, i came at around 9:40am.. i was so lazy to get up. i asked muhmee to get those while i'm not still in there. anyway, as i got to csb, i searched for my barkada.. muhmee's not ansering my texts, so i just called her up.. no answer again. i called babyluv; she's in mcdo with tweenee/granny, gemini, sam, jay, and martin; while muhm's in school.. according to her. i got a message from muhm telling me that she's at the registrar's office, and so i went there. i can't find her.. sheesh. so many people in line. i went near plaza villarosa and waited for her text. i saw jeff.. complaining about this transfer paper stuff for dlsu. congrats, jeff! we're gonna miss you. there.. i saw muhmee. she handed me the first three course cards:
PETWODA: this is where i've loved dancing even more. with those: waltz, jazz, swing, chacha, etc.. full blast of effort by my group especially to aiks, our leader. thanks to my partners yuta and lorenz for bearing with me, then to my kada: em, gem, roanne, martha, muhmee, and to their partners: tasci, darelle, tristan, mike, paul, david s, and nicky. our practical tests wouldn't be fun without you, guys. ms arceo.. thanks, miss! although i rarely come to class on time.. haha. i got a grade of 4.0 --> perfect.. woohoo!
ALGEB-X: it comes with a lab class by sir christian, and lecture by miss annie. basically, it deals with college math.. algebra. sort of highschool review. our first math class in first year, for in we haven't taken any math class during the first term. i have pretty nice scores in both lab and lecture. i was just shocked upon receiving a grade of 2.0.. i was expecting a higher grade. i'm really not satisfied. disappointed.
ORDEV-B: organization and development? our so-called homeroom. dr. george lu gave me a P=passed. *bow*
.. after i've seen the first three results. we went straight to dynarel's room to get our cards. i'm still questioning about my grade in algeb. errr. the prof came..
DYNAREL: dynamics of religion. we tackled about different religions and the the catholic church. this is the subject wherein i'm really obliged to wake up at around 4:30am to come on time. i've already gotten the maximum allowable absences of 5 which is equivalent to 10 tardiness since the start of the term. i've missed some activities and all. this affected my midterm grade of 2.5.. well, that was my expected grade this finals. happily, as i've received my course card.. i got an unexpected grade of 3.0! woohoo! my grade was pulled up beacause of my final exam which was pretty high. thanks, miss cacho.. heehee
we headed straight to the fifth floor to get our nstp card. we saw some of our blockmates in the room waiting for block M1K to be called. at this tme, my right shoulder started to ache. i could hardly move my right arm as an effect. i've just recalled that i bumped my right shoulder at kfc katips this tuesday while going upstairs. hans and josh laughed hard at me, i remember.. mean guys! this is somewhat an "aftershock?" i dunno what term to use. nyahar.. anyway, i saw jac enter the room.. i'm glad to see her once again.. my close friend back in highschool. we're like shouting as we hugged and "besso-ed" each other. i soooo miss you, jac! she told me a very good news about her, transferring to dlsu. congrats, girl! after our conversation, my name was now called by sir..
NSTPCW1: community service, yeah right. our first nstp as a frosh. our group, composed of: me, aiks, muhmee angelica, em, gem, martha, roanne, jeff, and paul went to some initial visit in a child-center in manila. we were all cramming for the final project, which is a documentation of our first visit in the place beacause the one that aiks did was stolen by someone in our org's cube.. it was inserted in her clearbook.. complete.. done. but it was taken by someone, with some of aika's gifts. sheesh. clepto. so we just rushed the project the day itself. without any further stuffs to tell, sir obedicen gave me a P=passed. hehe
after receiving four of our course cards, my barkada decided to go to HP for lunch..(except for aika.. she's not in school beacause of her dad's party, and em.. went home to iligan). martha's going to the bank to deposit, as well. we ate at tokyo tokyo. i ate using my left hand.. haha. my right arm/shoulder isn't in good condition. after, we went inside the mall.. as usual, the lipgloss/stick/balm freaks: martha, roanne, and gem tried a creamy, red, hot lipstick in loreal. nyahaha! they convinced muhmee and me to try it on. muhmee agreed.. but not me. haha. i love the color red, but not like super red lipstick. i go for the natural type.. peach-brown-like. again, as usual, we had kada trips.. we played with HP's escalator. the people were all looking at us. haha! so what? then we decided to go back to csb.. we still have to wait for a few more minutes for the next cards to be released. when we got to school.. a giant step away from HP, we saw our filip prof.. we went to the room.. she gave our cards..
FILIP13: retorika.. malikhaing sining and stuff. honestly, this is one subject i'm not that interested. maybe because of the prof? haha! everyone agrees with me. we did a lot of writings, reportings, and debates. still, miss munar gave me a grade from 2.5 to 3.0 --> 92. thanks, miss. bye. haha
we headed towards the room assigned for comski.. we saw miss jo.. gave us our cards..
COMSK2X: communications skills 2. a writing class.. again. basically, my course is loaded with writing, communicating, socializing (haha.. everything's the same.. communication), managerial stuffs--> in the next terms such as: accounting, business taxations, etc.. anyways, back to comski.. it's a lab and lecture class. miss "kikay" jo for the lecture and sir "i forgot!" for the lab.. we were asked to make and defend a research paper.. i chose nuclear power and the society as my topic. dereck, thanks a bunch for the info! i used it in my defense. dude, i owe you a lot. anyways, i got a grade of 3.0.
i was quite hopeful to become a DL. i have a 4, three 3.0, a 2.. err. still, i have the chance! i'm somehow confident of getting a 3 in manalog, for in the midterms, i got a grade of 3.5. but still, i'm worried about natsci.. in the midterms, i only got a grade of 2.0.. i have to compensate. we were in the same room waiting for natsci.. dundundun.. after an hour, sir ode` came.. i'm soooo sooo nervous. he asked us to fall in line. negative reactions, smirks, and quirks, were painted in my blockmates' faces.. they were all complaining and angry. i felt more nervous. what about me? am i going to make it? then came my turn.. miss edillo..
NATSC13: ecology. i have loved this subject back in hs. basically, it talks about the environment, the habitat, blahblah. sorry to say, but we learned nothing from our prof.. maybe we've just applied what we've learned from our previous prof, sir berdera, and not from our 2nd term prof, sir ode`. he's nice, but we totally disagree with his style of teaching. how would students learn if he speaks softly and faces the board more often? we could hardly understand what he's talking about. that's everyone's complain. majority of the class got a grade of 1.5.. and so as mine. i was really disappointed. i cried.. right. we were all wondering about our low grades. how about our PBL? it's 25% of our final grade.. we got a 95 in both midterms and finals, then, where is it? if he talks about our final exam.. the PBL must outweigh the finals score.. it's the highest percentage. mehn.. 1.5? *sigh*
obviously, many of us weren't qualified in the DL anymore. natsc13.. damn! sorry. i have to let out of my emotions.. anyway, we went to the last subject, which is manalog..
MANALOG: a branch of philosophy.. management logistics. i love this subject. i love the prof.. very unusual, terror, weird, funny, and very smart. everything's logic. everything's so weird. but tell you, it's HARD.. yet FUN. strictly no erasures of any form in any activity. individual board works. 2 minutes only per test (with matching timer). grade is either zero or one hundred, no more no less. syllogisms, truth tables, fallacies, 1barabara-celarent-darii-ferio- 2cesare-camestres-festino-baroco- 3darapti-disamis-datisi-felapton-bocardo-ferison- 4bramantip-camenes-fesapo-dimaris-fresison. a mind sharpener indeed. the subject that's feared by everyone (classes by ms santiago and sir espinosa, maybe). sir julius espinosa gave me a score of 3.0 for the finals. quite sad for me.. for in the midterms, i got a grade of 3.5.. which i found out as i checked my record in sir's record book (Haha) that is equivalent to 99! oh mehn! record! haha.. but for my final grade.. an average of my midterm and final.. i got a 3.0.. waaahh!! sayang! my grades lowered down because of this "first and last" quiz, which is a very unusual reaction paper of patch adams. answer it the juliusian (that's what we call sir) way.. philosophical way. ek ek way. haha. but still.. i'm still satisfied.. still still. haha. still. 3.5 to 3.0--> dugo't-pawis yan, dude! hi ruzky, congrats! =P
indeed, the second term has ended. goodbye, M1K. thanks for the fun memories you've brought. we're the most unusual block, i must say. (i won't elaborate on the "unusual" thing) we're a family. thanks for bringing fun in my first two terms in college. as we go on separate ways starting next term, may the warmth of our friendship and family-hood never flicker. see you all around the campus. don't forget the block get-together. i love you all. *_*
for may barkada.. and our family tree. granny/tweenee ko-martha, muhmee-angelica, babyluv-roanne, ate aika, ate gemini-gem, ate eminemskinems-em, bri (although you've transferred. we miss you), and my daughter-baby acie. i won't say goodbye. this is just the start of our journey. yes, we may be in different classes and scheds, but i'm sure our bond would still stick together.. in our hearts. that's the test. kaya dun sa iba jan na gustong mag-transfer.. mga rebel kayo.. traitors. haha! i'll break your branch in our tree. j/k! of course, we support you, guys. love you all. *_* *group hug*

wednesday
it was indeed memorable. i woke up as early as i could to fix myself for the day. i quickly ate my breakfast, took a bath while singing, and worn our barkada's newly-bought skirt (planned for PE's performance). it is our last PE class for the 2nd term, and our finals as well. my group's so excited to perform for everyone to see the fruit of our efforts.. imagine, practicing until past 7pm in school for how many days, and going to aika's place in pasig last saturday for some plannings. *whew* as i got to school, i was like chilling while walking at the hallway. mehn, it was so cold. anyways, when i got to the dance room, i heard the voice of my PE instructor joking me.. saying, "aba miss edillo, himala yata maaga ka today! naka-skirt pa kayong barkada!"in front of my other blockmates and some X10 guys. yikes! shame on me.. yeah, i'm the latecomer.. especially in PE class. so there.. when i got in, i saw my other kabarkadas with our partners. so glad that i'm early. haha! after we fixed ourselves, we rehearsed for one round.. and.. tah-rahn! it's performance time. actually, we mixed modern dance with swing to make it more unique. we first danced with the tune of "everybody dance now" as if we're in a pep sqad.. we made stunts and some pep moves.. eminemskinems was lifted and made stunts in the air. haha! could you imagine? the next one is with the tune of "too sexy." omg! i couldn't imagine myself dancing with that kind of genre (anyway, it's a combination of modern and swing). as we danced along, everyone in the room was shouting for the whole group. by the way, here's the pairings: me and lorenz (thanks, dude! todo sa moves!), "granny" martha and mike (kilig! sorry, shaa), aika and nicky, "babyluv" roanne and tristan, em and tasci (loveteam! haha!), gem and darelle, and "muhmee" angelica and yuta. the next is with the tune of "ever after", then "get right." for our ending, we danced with the tune of "satisfaction" as if we're in a party house as we did our exit by pairs. haha! after we finished our danced, we're so happy that we got a flat 4.0 grade=100 for the finals! wow! all the thanks and thanks and thanks to aika.. our everdearest instructor.. luvyah, aiks! and of course, to the group. wow.. what a nice start for the day. =) it's just too bad that this is our last PE together as a block.. M1K.
forward forward..
after our natsc13 class (last subject), our barkada (7) went to the newly-opened ktv beside csb.. it's a nice place. it's somewhat similar to IO, according to martha. anyway, we got a credit stub which gurantees us of free 6 tokens and the room itself. all we got to pay is P9/person. when we got there.. i tripped twice on the floor. so embarrassing! errrgh! muhmee angelica got home right away.. so sad. we sang and sang and sang. after a while, we got into a senti mood. we've just realized that there's only 2 weeks to go, and we're de-blocked. we won't be having the same scheds.. except for me and muhmee angelica, and my other blockmate david. of course, what do you expect, i'm the first to let out of my emotions and cried hard. aika suggested for us to sing "farewell." as we sang along, everyone cried.. except for martha and roanne. next, we sang "remember me this way", "the journey", and "that's what friends are for." we started to lighten up our mood after martha started to hit jokes and all.. for our final 3 songs.. we sang at the top of our voices. the crew of the place were outside our door checkin what's wrong inside. haah! first, we sang "nothing's gonna stop us." and we could bulid this dream together, standing still forever, nothing's gonna stop us now. then goes, "i will survive!" we stood up at the couches like partying.. when one crew suddenly knocked and told us that we might injure ourselves for the couches are not that matibay for us to jump. haha! then for our finale, we sang "september." do you remember the twenty-first night of september?.. badeya-say that you remember, badeya-dancing in september.. badeya!! *everything's captured by martha's phone through video* after which, our throats were like scratched. so aweful! but anyways, we really had fun! we have to make the most out of our remaining days together. *whew* take note.. our outfits are in uniform: em and me are both wearing a black top and blue skirt+blue flops, martha and aiks wearing a yellow top and black skirt+gold flops, gem and angelica wearing a white top, black skirt, roanne's wearing a red top and a black skirt. la lang..
