I hate my family.... nope, im just upset

Ever since my mom passed away, i've been living under the communist dictatorship of my greedy, cunning, evil grandma who just think of money and ways to ruin my life as well as my sister's.
She's really a nightmare, honestly.
She is always the one who makes us endure the pains of being poor even though we have money enough for us to enjoy good food and comforts in life at the same time, enough money for the future. She is always been the one who would change everything just to satisfy all her idiotic whims. Then there is this dad who would rather betray us and rush at grandma's side than get angry at his neglectful mother who terrorize his kids.
Last december 26 in Baguio, my dad got sick(so he just stayed at the place where were staying at) and we were in SM Baguio. Dad promised us to eat dinner at Oh mai Khan later. When it was time for us to go, grandma suddenly threw a typhoon of arrogance that she changed the plans that we're just going to eat at home- with the confounded and cursed KFC takeout for dinner. Like for all those weekends that God has made, i endured eating that confounded fastfood that she really loved- and it's only once a year that we all get to eat proper food in a restaurant like Oh Mai Khan. And she just foiled our tradition away and made us follow her whims. I recalled that dad was feeling sick but still i had the need to talk to grandma about the previous plans. But then, my grandma had the total guts to put her fists on her waist and shouted at me as if i don't understand the whole situation. I just sat on a corner, too embarrassed to look at the confused onlookers and cried.
Then just a while ago, my dad asked me if what he was hearing about me was true. I told him and then i told him everything but still he sided on grandma and defended on the fact that im so selfish that i don't give a damn on him compared to grandma- who is always right and great, in fact she is always been greater than God(sarcastically speaking). And im so sensitive enough that it will give me a very hard time when im in Manila.
Right now, not only i have a tyrannical grandmother but i also had the worst father ever. I got the one who always promise me that he will protect me from those people who torments me, but look at what just happened, he didn't lived up to his promise of protecting me from my very mean grandmother. Sacrastically speaking, my dad is so great, very great not only he left me but he also had the guts to tell me i won't survive in Manila with me being so "emotional". When im in Manila, if someone was treating me like that, i could kick their arses anyway since they aren't that much important to me and if they are my professors and or employers, it's okay for them to treat me that since they are training, grading and paying me anyway.
For now, i just tell myself that i never chose dad to be my dad, most especially my grandma to be my grandma. I just don't understand why God would give me such people to be with each and everyday. But i still feel lucky that dad doesn't think of remarrying(if that happen, it'll be the death of me) and that my grandma is so old that it won't be long that she'll end up in pain at a certain ICU.

Not only they are TERRORISTS but they are RACISTS too, huh?

Hot, dark skinned, tanned, fashionable, sexy, wavy haired, model-type, patient, feminine and rather bitchy.
The kind of girl some Tokio Hotel fan girls would want for Bill Kaulitz. Someone who's like Beyonce, Rihanna, Chanel Iman or Kim Kardashian- best known for being oh-so fashionable and downright lascivious to the point they already hooked up with loads of guys.
While everybody knows the kind of girl Bill would want is an understanding, talkative, spontaneous girl who looks like Ashley Olsen( as much as possible is a German who can speak in German or live in another country who can speak in German). Some TH fans still press their desires really hard and even think Bill's preference is ugly compared to their choice for him. They wanted to see him live, make babies and drink milk with a bitchy, tanned gallows bird who isn't exactly his type of girl.

While they flame and disagree on the type of girl Bill would be infatuated with, the worst is that when someone says that a very pretty Asian chick(e.g Yubin of Wonder girls, Linda Chung, Maggie Cheung Ho Yee circa Old time buddy, the Japanese singer one TH fan talked about some time ago) would look cute with Bill. Seriously, a lot would flame and throw off evil comments saying that "Bill doesn't like girls who have small eyes" and those sort of stuffs.
What the hell is that all about? I don't remember Bill saying or implying that otherwise im not listening to "World behind my wall" right now since Bill is such a skin-headed, misguided moron whose line of thinking about humans is from fifty decades ago. That means naive Herge from the racist 1920s had more sensitivity about racism than them.

The truth is, i don't know how on earth those confounded "fans" ever thought that Bill is better off with someone who doesn't really capture much of his fancy. Huh, as if those Bashi-bazouks knew Bill better than Bill knew himself... It's just like pairing Harry Potter off with Madame Rosmerta or Dumbledore with Sybill Trelawney. If they are really fans, they should accept and respect Bill's preferances or what other's opinions are. They shouldn't really force other people about what they want. Thank God, none of them ever became Bill Kaulitz or else if he does hook up with such an ostrogoth, i would rather die in a plane crash in the Himalayas than hear that on the Tokio Hotel Network. =p

Jamie Wong

Jamie Chariss Wong Gwai Fei (Simplified Chinese: 王桂菲) is the titular character and protagonist from the Harry Potter fan fiction "Die Welt von Jamie Wong" by Potterforumista Irish Uy. The story covers the life of the 16 year old Chinese witch who lives in Hamburg, Germany with her father and her exploits from living life the muggle way until she found herself to have changed her path set into the wizarding world instead.
When the story started, Jamie was a witch who lives life like a German muggle and at the same time studies wizardry under the guidance of her dad Percy. To aid her more in her wizarding studies, her dad gave her his old timeturner so she can study wizardry and at the same time do her muggle activities. She attends the muggle Hamburg Central High School where she had Raimund Jost, a closeted gay friend of Jamie who claims he wanted to be a doctor but inside wanted to become a fashion designer. In Hamburg Central, she excels in mathematics(which is the only muggle talent she considered having), having trouble in Physics and facing her worst enemy Aslana Gecim, who also turned out to be a wizard(neither witches knew if one was a witch and vice versa). Aslana was a hot looking, frivolent and lewd witch who happens to be the daughter of a top German model and a Turkish manager of a record company who are both wizards.
Aslana used to be Jamie's best friend until Jamie got tired of her and saved Raimund from being bullied by her. Since that day, they became worst enemies. Aslana also happened to have a crush on Jamie's celebrity crush, the frontman of the band Die Argyles: Johannes Trumper. One day, Aslana exposed to everyone a muggle picture of her being with Johannes in a bar, which left Jamie into tears and outright jealousy towards Aslana. When she got home, her dad told her that they'll be going on a roadtrip to London this summer. On their way to London, Jamie showed her sudden distaste of Die Argyles and that shocked her dad. What shocked him more was that Jamie's crush had a relationship with Aslana from what Aslana proved to everyone and back then Jamie and Percy both believed that Aslana was a muggle. Percy just comforted his sobbing daughter by telling her that it's an inevitable situation that people having crushes face and he too felt as bad as her when he was a teenager. Then they passed by Brussels(where they met Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Prof. Calculus and many others-just kidding), Paris(where they saw Julien and Zhang Chongren- again, just kidding) and some other notable European towns and cities before arriving in London a few days later. In London, Jamie's heartbreak became more painful as she read a blog post by Aslana about Johannes. But her melodramatic moment did not last long when her German OWL results and *gasp* a letter from Hogwarts arrived and there Jamie made up her decision to leave behind her muggle dream of becoming a pilot and opt for a wizarding career instead.
The next morning, Jamie broke in the news with her dad as well as her decision. Her dad was happy about it so they went to Diagon Alley for school supplies. On their way to the Magical Menagerie, they bumped and met their long lost Aunt Cho Chang, who was a lonely and heartbroken witch. Aunt Cho found Jamie a cat that really reminded her of Harry Potter so she named it Harry.
One night later in London, Jamie opened her myspace again after quite some time. To her surprise, she read a blog post made by Aslana in which she told that Johannes was thankful that despite having bitchy fans(particularly a Cantonese speaking girl who had a very confusing Chinese name-pertaining to Jamie), he was thankful that he had Aslana who understands him.
Despite being so distraught and depressed with what she heard about Johannes and Aslana, her spirits soared when she realized she is about to leave behind the unkind muggle world she lived in and move on with the world she belonged in- the wizarding world.
When she was in Hogwarts, she was sorted in Gryffindor where she met and befriended Tahsin Bouvier, Rosly Kiorsly and Keith Hutchins. During the quidditch team audition, Jamie noticed a loner girl who strikingly look like Johannes. Tahsin told Jamie that her name is Audrie Trumper and she's a girl who just couldn't say no to trouble(at least she can say no to drugs!!). Then that afternoon, Keith-the Gryffindor quidditch captain- released the results and Jamie was surprised that she made it in the team along with Tahsin and Audrie.
Later that night in the Gryffindor common room, Jamie confronted Audrie out of anger for Johannes and there Jamie got to know the truth- Johannes and Aslana aren't together. In fact they're worst enemies and that they are wizards like them. After some clarifications, Jamie and Audrie became friends and Audrie joined in Jamie's group of guy pals while Jamie moved in Audrie's dormitory. Back in Hamburg, Raimund can't take the pain of long distant friendship with Jamie so he stopped talking with her, Aslana was stunning spell was backfired after attempting to make Johannes fall for her and it was revealed that Johannes is studying to be an auror, Ian is a squib and he is Johannes' best friend.
After a Gryffindor victory over Ravenclaw, the latter's team captain, Mikey Moon, provoked some trouble with Audrie which ended up in a midnight duel. Audrie picked Jamie to be her partner, who is reluctant about joining the fray. Mikey picked Juli Tamatree, a fifth year girl who is good friends with Frankie, Dylan, Amy and the other good Ravenclaws. During dinner, Audrie was bothered by her conscience so she decided to go on her own and leave Jamie out of it. But in the last minute, Jamie recalled what Audrie did for her so she joined in the fray so she can protect Audrie. In the duel, Mikey had Juli do most of the duel but in the end, Juli gave up because their fight is none of her business and the prefects' bathroom benefit will only last her for this year because Mikey is a seventh year. Then the four got detention from Prof. Moody and Prof. Hale. While Jamie and Audrie were sorting out the potions ingredients of Professor Hale, Jamie tells Audrie the story of her past with Aslana. After that, the two overheard Prof. Hale and Shana talking about an exclusive Christmas party in Hogsmeade. After that, Professor Hale saw the potions stock well organized so she invited the two to her Christmas party just as long as they keep it a secret to the whole school. They agreed.
One day, Jamie received a letter from sir Listing that Raimund doesn't want to talk to her anymore. This brought Jamie into tears, which lead Audrie into inviting her cousin and Die Argyles in Prof. Hale's Christmas party and arranging Jamie a blind date with Johannes. At the Christmas party, the two met and they fell in love with each other.
Then after some teenage melodrama in both Hamburg and Hogwarts are solved, Aslana discovered that Ian is Johannes' best friend and then she kidnapped the poor squib and used veritaserum to torture him. Then she went on to kidnap Audrie and assault Jamie in Hogsmeade. A few days after Audrie's disappearance, Jamie and friends received a letter from Aslana with a riddle saying she got Audrie, Ian, the what and the ways on how to get them back safely. With the use of Beedle the Bard's mysterious statue, they snuck out to London via Floo network but they ended up in Aunt Cho's, where Keith stunned aunt Cho after seeing them.
After following the statues of Asha, Athelda and Amata around London, they ended up in Islington- where Die Argyles are going to have a concert. Then there they met Aslana with Audrie and Ian tied up. Aslana was about to kill them all off if Johannes, Tahsin, Die Argyles and some aurors like Auror Potter and Weasley. Then they caught Aslana and freed Audrie and Ian. Before the concert started, Jamie and Johannes snogged in his dressing room.
The next day, Audrie arrived in Hogwarts which shocked Hogwarts- although it was said in the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler that Audrie is free and Ian is found.
Then in Platform 9 and three quarters, Jamie met her dad, aunt Cho and Raimund, with Raimund saying sorry to her. Then there she also met Audrie's family and then Johannes.
The epilogue shows Jamie with Johannes and her dad in the Wongs' home in Kowloon. The ending shows Jamie and Johannes being happy together. All was well.



What can i say about Jamie??
Jamie is more like a bff to me that i always take good care of. I treat her more than Raimund, Audrie, Johannes would combined. I groom her, feed her, protect her and be with her when she is down like she was my long time best friend. She is always there to understand my problems and my thoughts. When TH fan girls tell me that Bill would never hook up with nerdy, East Asian girls and opt for dark-skinned fashionistas instead, Jamie is there to comfort and tell me that those girls have no rights to tell me that since no one knows how Bill's mind go but Bill himself. When i feel so sad about my family, she's always the one who would tell me that she too also lost a mom and things will eventually get well in the end. Now i let her go with Johannes, Harry the cat, her dad, Aunty Cho and all her other relatives and friends happily by her side, i face the future with unknown dangers lurking around. I hope that Jamie will still inspire me to stay as i am even if the worse will come.

Letting go of anger, grudges and lust....

I never expected anything great would happen in the retreat in Tagaytay. All i thought the retreat would consist of something like a horrible mix of the Believe Youth Congress of 2008 and some major WWE-esque catfights, dogfights, street fights and all kinds of fights between SPC+Lipa against Lucena. But i was wrong...

During my stay in Tagaytay, i took a chance to let go of hard feelings, make new (unlikely) friends and enjoy the cold but gentle breeze of Tagaytay. It was a break away from problems at school, at home, the autosupply, internet, Tokio Hotel and some other things. There i lived in peace and joy with my classmates, Lipa pals and our newly befriended Lucena friends ala Big Brother.

There i let go of my past sins by confessing them all to the very kind and understanding priest who heard all of our confessions and advised us things. It was also there when God finally told me that it's okay for me to be a Harry Potter fan through the priest's advice to me. Now im convinced enough that that ignorant oaf Joma Villahermosa got nothing better to do in life so he just tell malicious lies about things, convince kids into the kind of ignorance and backwardness that belongs to the middle age and form a confounded group called "Kilusang kabataan para kay Kristo".
First, it was my dad who told me that being a Potter fan is okay just as long as it never affects my love for God at all and then now i confessed this one to the priest, well he told me the same thing- it's not sinful just as long as you still believe God is still the loving Almighty One Who can do everything and you believe magic is just plain fiction. Now that it's really the representative of Christ who told me about it, now i should be relieved and thank Him for being loving and understanding. My anger on Brother Jhoma finally let go and i forgive him- but i still hate him anyway for humiliating me in front of my schoolmates twice last year and still going around and babbling about Disney, Sesame Street or Pokemon being evil(I highly doubt when he was talking these nonsense in Hong Kong or Singapore, no one ever threw rotten dimsum nor "Hell bank notes" at him when he was delivering his speech. that gallows bird, that filibuster, anthracite, Ostrogoth, vandal).
Also, after i confessed, i noticed that when i was listening to Tokio Hotel(later that evening when we're about to sleep), i don't feel uncomfortable listening to them anymore. I think the reason why i feel so uncomfortable when i listen to Tokio Hotel before was that i did a lot of grievous sins particularly to Bill. I thought a lot of impure thoughts on him so bad that it's enough for him to wish that i'd die in a plane crash in the Himalayas and my body get eaten by the yeti. -lol. Seriously.
Other than letting go of bad things, intentions and thoughts, i also let go of personal grudge against the Lucena people. Back then, i used to think (and notice last sports fest) that the Lucena people are a bunch of mean Mary Sues who wanted all the attention, enemies, terrorists, glory, greatness, fame, power, magic powers, kilikili power, planets in the solar system and all things in them. I used to loathe them out of jealousy for being always first in games and competitions as well as T.Myn's favor.
But all these changed and me, my classmates and our Lipa mates were not the only ones who were affected by this and changed but also these Lucena people who were soon to be our friends.
The moment we met our facilitator ate Karen, a 33 year old woman who looks like the Filipino version of Sek Mei of Virtues of Harmony II, we received our retreat bags and there we found a piece of puzzle in each bag. All the different puzzle pieces form four pictures and those whose pieces forms into a picture with some other classmates shall be groupmates with them for the rest of the retreat. That means, those groupmates will be the ones who will be your groupmates in games, be with you on the same table when you eat, share stories about yourself and family, pray with you, console with you and do things together as a team. Good thing enough, GT and Angelou became my groupmates and also these three Lucena mates- Clifford, Claudine and Ivan. We are the fourth group and we are called "Alpha, Delta, Theta- Math in short" Sure enough, they became the people whom im always with throughout the retreat but i never expected that i'll get more close with GT as a best friend and be best friends with Angelou and most especially with Clifford, Claudine and Ivan. During the retreat, we shared and talk about a lot of things like Montessori here and Montessori there, their family, their lives, T.Myn, sir Manto, Rizelle, school life and such.
We were so attached to each other to the point when our retreat ended, we almost burst into tears upon separating. We all asked ourselves all these times we were in Montessori, why it's only now we're about to leave that we just discovered that we could be friends together?
Well, im happy that at least i'm about to leave Montessori discovering that the people whom i thought to be infidels were just like us.

El Filibusterismo- a crazy twist by the fourth years

My class' crazy version of Jose Rizal's famous El Filibusterismo... (mostly Dean, Gt and mine's version-lol) I hope no one will bash about it. Reading El Filibusterismo is part of the Philippine highschool curriculum, so every senior highschool student in the Philippines should study about Jose Rizal's famous, awe-inspiring historical novel. Im sure that some students may find reading that novel as boring and useless but if they're blessed with absurd thinking classmates, they might find the story filled with weird settings, crazy events and a rather colorful cast like corny stuffs, people dying from drinking too much coffee, Corazon Aquino, UPLB, Francis M, Craig David, Tokio Hotel planning to invade the Philippines literally, old men learning how to dance ballet, the Kapitan Heneral kidnapped by UST students, people being arrested for driving their calesas in Makati when their calesas are coding and After-British-rule-Hong Kong pop culture.

Once upon a time, there was a very corny streamer called "Tabo" making it's way slowly among the murky Laguna de Bay(that is full of mermen and gillyweeds). There was mud, bamboos and Bamboo singing "Yo tell me what you want..." in the banks of the bay as the streamer passes by. In the upper deck of the streamer are Spaniards and Spaniard-Spaniardans talking about Spanish stuffs, Rommjan Mendoza and a certain "Rey Mysterio" called Simoun. Primadonna Dona Victorina was pissed off with the old, merry indios around the lake and the skipper shouting "Baporps" and "Estaborps". On the lower deck are passengers like Indios and sleeping Cheneses. Among them are Basilio- my Atenista best friend from the mental hospital and Isagani- who had a crush of Phoebe's ex's girlfriend. Those guys were talking about putting up a Spanish school. Basilio is on his way to go home to his hometown Jerusalem. In the Noche Buena of Ashton Kutchero, he was beaten up by some Bashi-bazouks while Kevin just looks at him tearfully.
Then Basilio snuck down from the house in which he was staying at and into the woods where his mental mom Sisa was buried. There he met "Papa Piolo" Simoun, whom Basilio quickly recognizes as Crisostomo Ibarra.
On Christmas time, Basilio's gf Juli woke up with a start and snogged the emerald locket Basi gave her. The locket once belonged to Salazar Slytherin, then to the basilisk who lives in a secretive chamber of deputies in France, then to Maria Clara after defeating the monster on a French Riviera vacation with Ibarra 13 years back, then to a beggar/gigolo called Nicholas Toussant, then to Basilio as payment for curing his syphilis. Her dad Kabesang Tales who had a really hard time with the Prayle corporation. The Prayle corp. are trying to confiscate Kabesang Tales' land in which he, his zombie wife, his zombie eldest daughter, Juli, Tano, Old Tata Selo ( not GT's little sis, okay?? she doesn't even exist during Rizal's time) and some gang of Amishes worked hard and partied like in 1699. Then Kabesang Tales got kidnapped by a gang of communists because... well, he is a rich capitalist who invest in the London, New York, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore stock exchange. The communists are asking Juli for $ 500,000,000,000,000,000 and some bags of Cheezee and Clover to eat. Having none of these ready, she went to work as a maid for Corazon Aquino aka Hermana Penchang. One day, Tata Selo suffered a stroke after a ballet practice and then he lost his voice. Then Juli finally paid off the communists and set dad free.
One day, Kabesang Tales got mad at the friars to the point he stole Simoun's revolver and exchanged it with Juli's locket(which has so much sentimental value for Simoun aka Ibarra) and ironically, joined the NPAs who kidnapped him- Stockholm Syndrome much??
Then in Los Banos, the Governor General and his homies were hunting some deers and UP students as they talked about the Spanish school thing kids like Basilio were talking about, Jesuit priests and sore eyes.
Meanwhile, in faraway UST in Espania, Sampaloc Manila, UST law student Placido Penintente was having a really hard time with his Physics professor Padre Millon because Millon wasn't a licensed teacher (Okay, try finding Millon in the list of licensed teachers in PRC). Then it was mentioned that 19th century Atenistas hastily walk around wearing European clothes like H&M, Christian Audigier, Tazuma, Marks and Spensers, Topshop, Zara, Mango and Chanel with a pile of books on their arms like Hermione Granger, while Letraners walk around with fewer books and they were wearing Pinoy mainstream clothes like Bench, Penshoppe, Human, those big "Three stars and a sun" tshirts, i heart Ninoy tshirts, Cory ribbons and banana peel slippers. Then there are also plans to erect a statue of a well-loved UST Prof(i hope it's sir Nyeh Nyeh aka sir Nick) to rival "Avatar-Benavides".
In UST, students arent allowed to touch scientific apparatus so UST sucks back then.
In Macaraig(the guy who sang Insomia)'s Xavierville town house was full of boarding Atenist students who spend much time doing homework(as usual), play fencing, basketball and hitting Chinese vendors who can't set up a Shakeys, Starbucks or Macdonalds franchise near Ateneo back then. Here, we meet Sandoval, the Spanish thespian who loves everything Filipino and Pecson, the guy who says "No to drugs". In Macaraig's home, all the guys who wanted to set up a school for the Spanish language meet up and talk about their plans. They need to bribe Don Custody or Ginoong Pasta so their Spanish school will be approved. The bribes that they will be using are hookers from Amsterdam and Las Vegas. Sadly, both failed.
Meanwhile, the Chenes Quiroga who looks a hell like me was having a party in the USA in his house, inviting all the most important poobahs of the land so he can be the consul of China. Quiroga was being emo about losing some 9000 pesoses because he bought some purty bracelets from Simoun and he offered a salamahe lady just one of the bracelets but she got them all. Simoun told the chenes not to fret and he'll pay all the people's debts from him on one condition. The condition is that Quiroganess should allow Simoun to use his warehouse to store his guns, ammo and AKs.
After the party of Quiroga, Ben Zayb and Father Camorra went to the Quiapo fair(aka manghuhula, gayuma, pirated dvd, porn vids, Hayden Kho and eskandalo galore) and they were gawking at the girls out there, they even spotted Paulita Gomez making a grand entrance with an Isagani who seemed to be looking like a Bill Kaulitz strutting around on a Comet awards' red carpet. Thank goodness for them(and for Juanito and Dona Victorina being emo behind them), paparazzis don't exist yet since digicams aren't the in thing yet back then.
Then an American wannabe cholo gangsta mr.Leeds had a magic show which had Dean Villar's talking head(even if he's decapitated, he still talks and talks). Then Padre Salvi fainted and seeing this as an awesome fad to follow, all the ladies in the show also fainted.
Then some boring chapters later, there was a show called Mel and Joey that everyone in Manila wanted to watch. There was a guy called Camaroncocido who was being greeted "Kaibigan..." by
Boy Abunda, then his best friend Francis M came wearing a pair of Levis jeans. Francis M told Camaroncocido that Rizelle gave him a large sum of money for Mel and Joey posters to be posted all over Manila. In the show, Tadeo was showing all his homies from the province how awesome he is in Manila that he even knew the Governor general personally. While hanging out with Macaraig("Insomia, hu-aaaaaah..."), Isagani spotted Paulita from a distance dating Juanito Pelaez and with Dona Victorina as chaperon. Isagani was downtrodden but he recalled poor Don Tiburcio (Madlangtuta), the battered hubby of Dona Victorina who fled and spirited away in UPLB, where he was having a good time as a political activist of the Arroyo regime.
(Then Dean shouted that Tiburcio is hotter than Juanito Pelaez after t. Anna told us that Dona Victorina loves Juanito)
While Isagani is into the blue(and when he lose himself, he thinks of you?? wtf...), Macaraig, Pecson, Sandoval and Tadeo are waiting for the cancan of Julien Jehan. The reason why there are domestic helpers is that because of the domestiques.
(Then Dean told us that in this part Juanito undressed Dona Victorina. yuck, Dean...)
Meanwhile, Juanito was telling Donya Victorina about some French like Servantes(yung mga tulad daw ni Julien).
After that, Maria Clara suddenly died, which thwarted Simoun's plans for a revolution tonight. No, the reason why Simoun wasn't in the play is that because he is the makeup artist of the French actresses.
The next day, Isagani was full of jealousy and anger as he walked through the valley where he harvests his grain. He was sad because of Paulita, he remembers the times when he was with her, when they saw Agua and Bendita. Then he met up with Paulita who confronted him(since she thought last night that Isagani was also waiting for the cancan like Macaraig) and then both forgave each other. Isagani told Paulita to come live with him, Father Florentino and Tiburcio Madlangtuta and be his love in Kowloon Bay, but Paulita told him that she doesnt want to live in an inaccessible place since there's no cheap bus routes there and she doesn't have a passport yet. Isagani told Paulita that there's an MTR station there, but still Paulita doesn't want to.
Then Macaraig(Insomia-aaaaaaaaaah...), Isagani, Pecson, Sandoval, Juanito and some other people went to a Chenes resto where they saw Cyclops and there is a banner on the resto that says "Luwalhati kay Bill Kaulitz dahil sa kanyang ka-ulagaan"
Because of Cyclops, there are posters flying out everywhere in Manila the next day. Basilio, who wasn't in the dinner party, was arrested and Macaraig(Insomia-aaaaah...) laughed a lot as they are both sent to prison. Isagani and Father Fernandez were babbling about something we found boring.
After that, Manila was in chaos. Quiroga became paranoid and he hired a battalion of bodyguards, then Tokio Hotel came in Metro Manila(YEEPEE!!!^^), the Kapitan Heneral was kidnapped by students from UST(see, i told you a lot of UST students are evil like *cough* Keith Coral??), Padre Irene visited Kapitan Tiago, Kapitan Tiago died from drinking too much coffee, Tadeo was shot and Isagani surrendered himself to authorities since he's crazy and a kamanyag is a snake bite.
While Basilio was in prison, Juli asked Hermana Bali-who lives in Bali- for advice since Tata Selo is corny. She had a nightmare of Basilio being AK-ed by Spaniards. Bali told her to go to Camorra, where she was almost raped but she killed herself.
After being released, almost all the students failed their exams. Macaraig(Insomia-aaaaaaaaaahh) went to Europe to start a musical career. Only Isagani and Sandoval passed the exams. Basilio was still in jail coz he possessed the book of everything which the Spaniards banned since it's written in English. Ashton Kutcher was thrown in prison with Basilio because his calesa is coding in Makati. Isagani was dumped by Paulita because he's weird. Paulita will be marrying Juanito off because he's shy, sweet and quiet... just like her. Paulita told Isagani that Juanito is the one she wants to be with, get it?? ;-)
So Isagani cried, cried and cried.
Suddenly, Basilio was set free by Simoun. Basilio now a changed man, joined Simoun, who was planning to blast off Paulita and Juanito's wedding with nitro gliserina(aka pampaputi). Then the wedding day came("Oh hinde..." said Dean). Most of the students went back home and played farmville, while Isagani was nowhere to be seen(Either nasa CR, nasa Cafeworld or tinitingnan ang mga photos ni Paulita sa facebook nya at nag e-emo).
Simoun left the wedding feast and gave a lamp to the couple. The lamp was supposed to set off if it werent for Isagani's epal-ness that he threw the lamp off and jumped in the river.
Then came the chika minute of Ben Zayb, when everyone discovered that Simoun is probably a filibuster like Captain Haddock claimed.
Meanwhile in the Orendas' residence. Isagani was playing with the youngest Orenda girl with sunka, jump ropes, play doh and barbie dolls when the Orendas, Moymoy Palaboy and Chichoy talked about the wedding feast. There was gunpowder all over the place and they revealed that Isagani is Chinese like Quiroga and so does Father Florentino. After that, Isagani bid farewell to the Orendas and went off to Kowloon Bay to live with his uncle and forget all his miseries with history books, watching Old time buddy, Virtues of Harmony 1-kasi ang settings nun ay 15th century- and some childrens' show on TVB, asnwering sudoku on the streets and bottles of Heineken with his uncle(di ba, dun naman talaga yung tito nya nakatira?? yung tito nyang Chenes na mahilig sa Heineken at Doraemon??).
After that, Matanglawin(aka Kabesang Tales or popularly known as Kuya Kim) killed a judge... OMG. Then Tano accidentally killed the corny tata Selo.
Then the "katapusan" came in Kowloon Bay when Father Florentino received a not from Perez Hilton that the Spanish officials are going to his house to capture a disabled Spaniard and have a cup of tea with him. Tiburcio Madlangtuta, thinking he was the disabled Spaniard the Spanish guys were implying that they wanted to capture, fled off the father's house. The disabled Spaniard was in fact Simoun, who was hiding in Florentino's house. Simoun took poison and he told Florention of his secret. He was Crisostomo Ibarra, after a great misfortune in the Philippines, he fled to Cuba(where there are a lot of kubas) and made friends with the Kapitan Heneral and helped him rose into power. Then he inspired corruption in the Philippines(that's why there is corruption in the Philippines) and the rest is history. Simoun died(so Isagani havent saw this coz he's always late, he rode in the Philippine Airlines, there was a huge traffic between Chek Lap Kok and Kowloon Bay or all of the above??) and Father Florentino threw Simoun's riches off the bay, hoping the riches will be for the use of good stuffs instead of evil(but instead it was unearthed by scrupulous, greedy and dirty Chinese jewelers and used them to make fake versions of those and sell them on ebay).

Finished.

Chang Chong Chen

Since i was a little girl, i used to be amazed and inspired by the Belgian cartoonist Herge(Georges Remy)'s famous work The adventures of Tin Tin. Other than reading about how Harry Potter and his friends grew up from mischievous little kids to mature and happy young adults and how they dealt with everything that came in their way, i also leaned on Tin Tin for a dose of adventure and lessons about friendship and hope. Although i was a Sinophobe(which was quite ironic because majority of my blood is Chinese- since my mom is Filipino-Spanish and dad's a full Chinese) back then, my favorites among all the 24 Tin Tin comics are The Blue Lotus, Tin Tin in Tibet, Cigars of the Pharoah and Prisoners of the Sun. The first two had Tin Tin's young loyal Chinese friend Chang Chong Chen in the story.
Chang was quiet, sweet, nice, courageous and very brave- sounds like some freaking Gryffindor. He was an orphan who almost drowned in a flood when the orphanage he lives in was washed away and Tin Tin saved him. Then Tin Tin, Wang Chen Yee and Mrs. Wang were saved from being chopped off by a mad Di Di by Chang's very brave intervention along with Wang Chen Yee's homies. After that Wang Chen Yee adopted Chang and Tin Tin went home to Belgium. Then some time later, Chang went to live in Hong Kong and Wang Chen Yee's brother in London wanted him to live there so Chang sets off to London but the plane he was riding on crashed in the Himalayas. Tin Tin had a dream of him calling for help in Tibet, so he sets off for Kathmandu and then to Tibet after all the beggings and reluctance of Captain Haddock, Tharkey the sherpa and many others. Chang on the other hand, survived the crash but he was taken by the yeti. Good thing, the yeti took care of him and grew very fond. In the end, Tin Tin managed to save Chang from the yeti and then in the Castafiore Emerald, Chang is in London working in his adopted uncle's home. I was a first grader back then and i believed that Shanghai was part of Hong Kong(for some unknown reasons) and Hukow was Macau. The story is set in Shanghai(which i think back then was Hong Kong) and it was near Hukow(in what i heard back then Macau) where Tin Tin first met Chang- so i came to believe that Chang, Wang Chen Yee, Di Di, Mrs. Wang and some other people lives in Hong Kong. Then i got to read(and have my own copy of) Tin Tin in Tibet, where my belief that Chang was a Hong Konger went stronger when it was mentioned Chang is from Hong Kong in the newspaper. There was no youtube back then so i came to believe Chang was a Hong Konger for a long, long time- from elementary to (probably) third year highschool.

Then the years passed by, the Italian Disney comics W.I.T.C.H came and suddenly, my love for Tin Tin went mute and almost forgotten. But there is one thing that Tin Tin strongly influenced my life back then. Being a European lover back then, I used to think that Hong Kong was just like Manila- a polluted and overpopulated city that there's nothing quite special about it. During the days i was a French culture lover(grade 4-5) turned Italian aspirant(grade 6) turned German girl(first year- second year), my only definition of Hong Kong is Chang Chong Chen.
I was fully aware back then that tito John is a Hong Konger and i have Chinese relatives there but for me, Chang was the only awesome person in Hong Kong back then.
Then my way of thinking about Hong Kong changed suddenly. I noticed the people there were like me and Hong Kong is much cleaner, safer and more modern than Manila. Then I came to know that Hong Kong is more than Chang Chong Chen.

Then, after watching again some Tin Tin episodes did i discover that the setting of the Blue Lotus was in Shanghai(the city in China) and Chang(and probably Wang Chen Yee) moved to Hong Kong during the time of Tin Tin in Tibet. But i still regard Chang as a Hong Konger, a very cool one. There are many other awesome Hong Kongers like Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, Hawick Lau, Maggie Cheung Ho Yee, Stanley Ho, Donald Tsang, tito John, Shirley Wong, Lily Wong, Rocky Wong, Ah Pong Wong, Kelly Chen, Jade Chan and some others but i still think Chang's the most wicked among them all.

Halloween switcheroo

Halloween is the only time in the year in which young-uns and kids-at-heart(like me) dress up and let their creativity run wild. Some dress up as witches, some dress up as wookies, and others dress up as cookies. But one thing's for sure is that Halloween is the only time of the year in which people can dress up whatever they wanted to dress up in no matter how crazy it is. But in my case, Halloween is not only imitating someone's style for one day but also realizing if that someone you dressed up as is in your place for one day. I planned on dressing up as Lady Gaga(so i can wear my crazy, Lady Gaga-isque hairband) at first but Mark Malabanan suggested that i should dress up as Bill. I took his advise since i realized if im gonna be Lady Gaga, i should wear swimsuit.(I only wear swimsuit only of im gonna swim in a swimming pool or beach.-lol)

October 30, 10:30 AM. Irish Uy came home from U.N day in school. She took off her favorite black school jogging pants and black "Proud to be a MONTESSORIAN" tshirt to change into her H&M skull tshirt, Mango skinny pants and Tribal skater shoes- part of her costume that she will be wearing tonight. She planned on going as her major crushie/ Potterforums hubby/ probable old internet buddy/ probable guy who thinks im a Hong Konger/ fashion icon/ favorite singer/ favorite German/ favorite androgynous person Bill Kaulitz. As she took off her school clothes, she felt that Irish Uy left her. The moment she put on the clothes that resembles her crush's, she no longer feel like she was herself anymore but she was Bill Kaulitz. Like what Bill does whenever he had a performance later that evening, she decided to do her makeup and hair later an hour before she'll attend the party her best friend Gt will throw.
Some time later, her dad asked their household helper yaya Becca where on earth Irish is. Inside Irish, she wants to tell her dad that Irish is in To Kwa Wan, Kowloon... Probably wearing a white dress with a dark blue tie, dark blue sweater and black shoes like her cousin Lily. Irish Uy right now is probably reciting in Cantonese about mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Maybe when she goes home to her uncle and grandaunt's small apartment near the old Kai Tak airport, she would have a hour for memorizing all her lessons for the day, log in to the forums where she and Audrina first met(Potterforums.com) and then play her electric guitar inside Lily's room while Lily is busy watching TVB or updating her Facebook. In short, the real Irish is probably in somewhere Bill probably thought her to be in.
After helping out in their family business(not really helping out since im too young to memorize codes of autoparts. I would rather learn income taxes formulas, trigonometry, sound waves and sentence diagramming- which i all suck at-now since studying is a bigger priority than helping out in the business. It's only once in a lifetime that someone gets proper education). Bill Kaulitzified Irish Uy went upstairs to wash her face clean and open up her potterforums, stardoll and facebook to relax her off. It's only some two hours before she'll have to leave for school again and that time she decided to do the last parts that will make her completely Bill Kaulitz- putting on her silver blings, make up and tease her hair to make it look like Bill's infamous lion mane hair. After some time of surfing the net, Irish began to complete her transformation by ironing her hair straight. Then she went to put on some black eyeliner, dark eyeshadow, blusher and lipgloss(with the help of one youtube vid tutorial). Then here comes the hair part. With the help of another youtube video, i finally figured out how to make my hair defy gravity more than my previous attempts to imitate Bill's hair last summer- so far back then, i only mastered Bill's "Spring Nicht" and Comet 2007 awards hair.
After doing myself, i went to the Halloween party where i met my friends who had strange remarks. Some said i look cute and others say i look too freaky. Just like Bill, i just smiled and thanked them for their remarks. Leniel even said " Si Irish, mukhang rockistang nabuhay... sa patay." and Dean said(when he was introducing the teams for a certain game that i forgot) "Eto ang group ni Bill Kaulitz- na galing Germany."
It was fun anyway, even if it's only for a day. It made me realize how would Bill be if he was on my shoes.

A normal day in Montessori-detailed.

Okay, this blog post won't be much regarded as important but it might be something that would bring nostalgia when i read this years from now.
I arrived in school just in time and after praying, singing the national anthem, say the panatang makabayan, dance "Jai Ho" and sing the march song, we went to our classroom for our first class of the day, English, with sir Manto. In English, we didn't do much except compute for our grades and sir Manto gave us some assignment but thank God, they're vocabulary. Before sir Manto went to his next class, he told me to read editorials coz he made me compete for an essay writing contest- how's that?
Then T.H.E time came, in which T. Mafel talks about fishes and ways to preserve them. Gt and i shared a book on the back and we drew some fraeuleins in my intermediate pad at the back of the class. I guess Gt had some plans on embarking the fashion world than the world of medicine.-If you know what i mean. ;-)
Next came recess time when i ate some siu mei, meringues and drank a cup of royal. At first, i hanged around with my classmates in the lobby then soon after, the second years were dismissed. When i glimpsed at the two people whom i kinda consider as my "best buds"(i don't want to get hurt badly from losing a best friend again so who knows they might be my best friends or just close friends), i joined up with them and soon our daily Harry Potter discussion began. Jonathan flooded me with much Harry Potter questions out from his curiousity, asking me who's the greatest teacher in Hogwarts, spells that were taught there, about the horcruxes and such. Although it nags me up a bit, i don't care. Im happy that i have them for friends, all these times i don't have not even one Harry Potter loving friend to talk to in years(not counting internet friends like those from PF). Also, they proved to me that God is okay with me being a Harry Potter fan since why did God sent me some God loving, Harry Potter fans who had a Baptist pastor for a dad if God knows that Harry Potter's evil especially for me? Beat that, Joma Villahermosa.
Then the bell rang and it was time for Economics, the first time of the day in which we'll be meeting sir Ian. During eco class, Sir Ian was telling us a "fairytale"( or nonsense that involves a dwarf- an inside joke about PGMA). Phoebe on the other hand got interested with my Lady Gaga-isque headband that she wore it and also kept talking about non-sense. Non sense she talked about was Barack Obama was the Anti-Christ. Well, for me it's non-sense since she doesn't have any concrete proof. She said that in the book of Isaiah, he was mentioned there in Greek. Who knows, it may be a different Barack Obama or the translations could be wrong. And i don't want to judge people without knowing them who they really are since it's only God Himself who could judge people and i am not God. I would believe in Barack Obama as the antichrist if there was enough proof to support her claim. To see is to believe, they say.
The bell rang and it was math time, Sir Ian immediately threw a quiz. Thank God, i studied yesterday so i got 21/30(which is not bad, i guess. But i should do better next time), but i don't really get out new lesson in math. About the coterminal things and such, i just hope that i'll get it soon so i won't mess up on my next math exams again- like what happened last time.
After sir Ian gave us our assignment, he went off and it was lunchtime. After eating my lunch of fried rice from the canteen and vienna sausages that i brought(with Kassel nakikiepal about my lunch since she always notice along with Twinkle that my lunch is always cup noodles), i went to the library where i made my assignment in math and talk a little bit with Mark and Jonathan, the two Malabanan brothers. Then sir Jojo opened up the computer in the library and played a movie(the ten commandments), probably testing out if the CD works or not. After the bell rang, my buddies Jon and Mark left me but my classmates entered the library after telling them to go there earlier to watch sir Jojo's movie. I agree that watching movies is also a good way to learn things.

Meet the Malabanans

Before i entered IJMCP, i expected that i will have no Harry Potter loving friends there since back then i had the notion that Harry Potter is for kids only. But surprise took me the moment i met Gt and his cousins ate Kim and -especially- Keith. They proved to me that highschool students can also enjoy the joys Harry Potter give when they became my best friends. But like the saying that i learnt in Montessori "Nothing is constant in this world but change", my friends quickly changed their ways and slid away from me. Although Gt, ate Kim, Tata and Nr still treats me well, Keith was different. He treats me like i don't exist and tries everything he can to avoid me to the point when some teacher tries to group me and him in a project or dance, he would find a way to shake either me or him off the team. He would find a way to seperate us even if it would take serious means to break it off. And im amazed he almost always manage to seperate. So, other than breaking my friendship with him, he really did a good job to soar my hatred on him to the point i want him to disappear in my life and never see him again.

Two years after experiencing a kind of betrayal from friends whom i thought would never suddenly change, i never wished having Harry Potter loving friends again in my highschool life and became numb when it comes to having best friends. I just don't want to get hurt again like what they-especially Keith- did to me. I just told myself to get used with being alone and my only close friends in school are my classmates and sir Ian. I don't want to be messed up with another friendship that would leave me again in agony especially it will be my last year in highschool. It took me about two years(october 2007 to april 2009) to get over it and i don't want to get through another frustration again.

But then, two second year students moved in to Montessori and when i saw them first i expected them to be total loners(and i promised myself to be close with my classmates only), Harry Potter haters(since they are devout born-agains like Phoebe) and had no chances of being close friends with me but i made a grievous fault.
June has passed and i was having fun within the comfort zone of my classmates. But then fate has it that most of us got seperated with each other because of the Nutrition Month cooking fest. All highschool students were divided into seperate groups and almost all fourth years were made to be leaders of the groups. I ended up to be the leader of the team which composed of Asriel, Twinkle, Marlon, Camille and Jonathan. I never, ever expected anything from Jonathan and i treated him something like scheisse even if Twinkle insisted on me that Jonathan is an expert on cooking since his mom is learning to be a chef. In the end, i gave in and made Jonathan my junior assistant(with Asrie as my volunteering head chef/senior assistant). Then there was a sudden twist of fate when Jonathan found out that i was a Harry Potter fan. "So what?" my stressed-from-doing-everything-and-studying-for-the-UPCAT self snapped at Jonathan. He smiled and told me that he was also a Harry Potter fan too, as well as his siblings Mark, Emerson, Clarisse and James. So that began a friendship that i never expected will bloom out.
At first, i don't hang that much with them since im afraid that they are maybe like Gt, Keith and ate Kim- who will also leave me for good. But after long, i began to consider them as my homies including Marlon and NR. After the Nutrition month celebration, i began to hang out with them in the library, telling them things about Harry Potter. Not long, i found myself having lunch with them and our conversations went beyond Harry Potter. Due to constant pressure in the sportsfest and my numbness on best friendships, i think i started eating with them at either the weeks during my cheering practice or the week when i was studying for the DLSUCET since i remember telling them that i will take the DLSUCET and they are all bidding me "Good luck".
Well, now it's only a few months away before i have to graduate and leave Montessori, im so glad i finally made good friends such as the Malabanans before i go and start life again. I hope i'll be able to keep in touch with them and also meet friends as good as them when im in college. With all the challenges that lies on college life, who knows i will or i won't?

DLSUCET: Sorrows and surprises

Following the ACET in my list was the DLSUCET. I thought that the DLSUCET was easier than the ACET- from all those claims that La Salle only takes kiddies with very rich mommies and daddies, never minding how intelligent the kid is- but i was wrong(along with those guys who assumed to me that La Salle is the most low-iq among the big three). Turned out that in La Salle, you money not only matters but also brains. At least i had fun as much as i had when i took the ACET.
Before i took the test, i met two girls, Katrina(from Saint Paul QC) and Meg(from FEU FERN). We talked a bit about the test and the fact that we were still sleepy.
i gave out some text messages to GT, ate Ash, dad and kuya Cj, telling them "shutang inamets, im about to take the La Salle exam". Soon after the test had started, i scanned my test booklet and was surprised to see how hard the math sub test was, then i started doing the first subtest(an IQ test most likely since it shows problem solving questions and analogies) in my exam. Five minutes to go and i got finished answering them. Then i went frantic when i realized that i was shading at the wrong questions for the last ten questions- with all of my answers a question after the question i intended to answer with my given shades). So i hurriedly erased all ten of them and shaded them again, i finished just in time for the proctor to announce to move on to the next subtest. Man, i made one big mess on my testpaper but i hope my answers will be considered since it would be a waste. =(
After some time, i found myself answering the math questions- with my least fave math topic Geometry, some fourth year maths and the topic we haven't discussed about as of that time, Trigonometry. Although i asked sir Ian for help before the DLSUCET, it just gave me little help since most of the trigonometry questions were those complicated ones.-gasp!! So much for Trigonometry. Then break time came and i met Meg again, who told me that solving logarithms should be solved with calculators. I was shocked about it, since sir Ian never let us use calculators to solve logarithms(and im a big fail at the more complicated log, honestly.=p). Lugi ka ngayon.
After some more tedious IQ tests, there came the reading comp. in which it made me lighten up a bit. If the Ateneo Reading Comprehension mentioned Indonesia, Singapore and made me go into an untimely rapture of Bill(long story), it was nothing comapred to the awesomeness i saw in De La Salle's. They mentioned Hong Kong(buh-na-na-nah), Seoul, Gisele Buenchen, Jay-Z, Star Trek and most of all Harry Potter!!! Now that's what i call an entrance exam!!!

Sportsfest!!!!

Last october 1 and 2 was the Sportsfest which was held in Lucena city. =P
I never expected that we would win lots and only one winner in the cheering contest!!(shutang inamets)
I was soooooo upset when it was announced that there was only one winner in the Highschool cheering contest and that was freaking Lucena( the Mary Sue-ish among the four branches of Montessori. They're like always the first...) . In the yesteryears, there was three declared winners. And now that Lucena became host school, it became horribly unfair. Only one winner... wtf?
Of all the hard work, the confidence, the body aches and the torment i endured during my practices and what we got was nothing? It would be okay with me even if all of the branches were given awards like before and it would be okay for me that San Pablo would even end up as third, at least we had recognition for that.
Also i heard from some of the Montessori San Pablo moms(tita Weny, Abby's mom, tita Flor) that Lucena started practicing their dance since august, while Lipa and us just started on the second week of september. It was really unfair, we all should have the same practice time just like the SPF.
At least, my dear classmate Riz won the title "Miss Sportsfest" later that night. Like when the special awards were given out(all of the special highschool awards were garnered by Twinkie aka Lucena candidate), we thought that Twinkie would win so me, Dean and Phoebe decided to leave the audience out of disgust and disappointment, but we were shocked to hear that Rizelle became "Miss Sportsfest". - It was like a miracle, but as the saying goes "...walang himala!"
And then came the second day- aka ball games high school day- i came to Lucena late but just in time to hear that Lucena-again- won the girls' volleball game. Then came the San Pablo vs. Lipa boys' volleyball( and San Pablo won). Then the teachers' volleyball game (in which Lucena won over Lipa/San Pablo). I left Lucena out of disgust as the basketball boys finals San Pablo vs. Lucena has begun.
Then on monday, i was surprised to hear that San Pablo became champions in the basketball- after 6 years!!

School slang...

Over the years i've been studying in Montessori, i noticed some changes of our class' talks... Words or phrases that only us understood come and go but one thing's constant and that is the wittiness and such panglaitness of our vocabulary.

First Year:

1. Er, i see... - or "Oh i see" spoken in a very fake British accent
2. Seek as where the voices found - going to look for something
3. I bomb- or "Ian bomb". Since that was also the time when Ian(Inah's big bro) often make a huge mess at the bathroom as well as leave a pungent smell that's very hard to endure.
4. Miggy- someone who's gay and a bit retarded at the same time
5. Michael Jackson- synonymous with Kuya Jed

The best airlines to ride from Manila to Taipei is Irish Airlines. (or aka China Airlines since there's really no such thing as Irish airlines that offers flights from Manila to Taipei)
2. Julien- is synonimous with France and anything French. Used in a sentence: Victor Hugo was a Julien writer who lived in Julien in the 1800s.
The Julien revolution happened in the 18th century when ordinary Julien people wanted to have liberty, equality and fraternity.
3. Oh hinde- or "Oh no"...

9. Ah ganon- an expression popularized by t.Leyme Dangue

Fourt Year:
1. Ay luge ka ngayon- an expression that a person says when someone prepared hard for something that was warned as difficult but in the end it turned out to be easy even if you don't prepare for that. Came from Batangas Man, a DJ from Batangas.

Shenanigans at the ACET

Last week, i just had my Ateneo College Entrance Test or aka "the unfinishable entrance exam" as i noticed( because of the short time particularly at the aptitude tests) but i found the ACET more memorable than the UPCAT in a lighter way, with those kwelas, kagagugan and kabalastigan happening inside me, poof, it became oh so memorable.
The essay part- after answering the English part(it was kinda easy coz they were mostly those questions sir Manto used to ask us in quizzes and exams- yeah i owed a great deal with him even if he's kinda strict), we were given out a question to answer in essay form. Unfortunately most of us had only 15 minutes to do the essay befores up for the English. Actually, my essay was missing a good conclusion, i was still in the middle of giving out a good arguement and example- Im not talking about Tokio Hotel here. ;)
The math part- Earlier that morning, i overheard some parents who were talking about the ACET. Some of their children's friends took the ACET on Manila yesterday and they told that the math part was really hard. I admit the math part was hard, that is the problem solving part(which is the Numerical Ability on the aptitude test part later on). But the math on the red test paper was fairly easy. Like on the english with sir Manto, the math one was kinda like what sir Ian mostly asks us about(except for the trigonometry part). When i was answering the f of x and synthetic division part, I imagined sir Ian beside me playing with a psp and telling me "Ay lugeh ka ngayon". That made me mutter out "Lugeh ka ngayon..."
General Information- My favorite part in the aptitude test since most questions were based from history and im such a history buff. There were also those science questions but at least those mole fractions, avogadro's law, gay lussac's law and chemistry computations were gone but in the numerical ability there were those compuations for Physics.
Reading Comphrehension- This was the explitly, kinda lustful one. There was a reading there about dreams and what dreams really serves as for people. I read there that dreams were like the thoughts hidden in our minds that we completly deny which only submerge when we're asleep. So my first thought about it went to Bill Kaulitz, whom i dreamed a few times "doing it" with him. Gasp, that means i want some pornographic moment with Bill?!!... i thought. Of all things that i can recall during the ACET like Sisa, Basilio, Yael Yuzon, sir Manny, Crispin, Hermione Granger, why should it be my very deep, intimate moment with Bill that never really happened?
Like if Bill was really there beside me at that very moment and he can read minds like his idol Edward Cullen, he would've slapped me multiple times and cursed me in German that i'll not pass the ACET.

So my tips for those who'll be taking the ACET next year, study well in PROBLEM SOLVING, STATISTICS and TRIGONOMETRY, HISTORY, GRAMMAR AND READING COMPREHENSION, buy a watch to keep track of time, learn how to write an essay fastly in just 15 minutes with complete introduction, arguement, examples and conclusion, and listen to your teachers. And when ACET day comes, you'll discover that the ACET is more than an entrance exam. It may be one unfinishable exam but you'll discover that you're in for a wonderful kind of adventure whether you'll pass or not.

My plans before the school year ends

I only got half a year before i would tearfully say goodbye to my beloved Montessori. Education, friends, spoonfeeding(when it comes to learning), good teachers, good memories, closely knit classes, field trips to malls, lots of fun school events, and air-conditioned classrooms, what more can a highschool student ask for? Next year, i may no longer had that kind of treatment anymore since they say college is very different, so i just have to enjoy every single bit of my last year in Montessori. But when my last few days in Infant Jesus Montessori Center Philippines come, i plan on doing these things:

-Take a picture of all my friends candidly. Then take off my Cahbribading photos on my photo frame and replace them with those.
- Hug all of my friends, it may be the last time we'll get to see them for a long time.
- make a chalk graffiti on each and every blackboards in the Highschool department. My magical "Hogwarts like" life in first year(on the classroom where i spent my first year), my German emoness in second year(where i spent my second year), Hong Kongian/German love in third year, and my life as a fourth year- ending with the Chinese characters "it is done" and "Consummatum est".

Bill is... i dunno.

Bill got a new hairstyle... a freaking mowhawk.
When i first heard the news, i was a bit freaked out that i cussed about it on my facebook( and Kuya Niel Monzones making segway about it... -mowhawks are cool!! he said-). I never saw pictures of him in mowhawk back then, but i imagined him to look worse. Bill got dreads earlier that year, although it's not really my fave, i kinda liked it. Then i saw the picture of Bill in mowhawk just a whle ago... and i liked it!! He looks way cooler than his anime inspired lion hair.
Now i kinda regretted having to cuss about it on facebook. *slaps myself*
And then another rant about Bill, some days ago i saw a video from Bild.de that Bill and Tom were ranting out their old selves- thinking that their old selves were not them and telling how stupid/ugly those guys were.

At this very moment, reading those translations made me want to pull out Bill's mowhawk and Tom's girly, kevin calabia-ish braids out of their heads. They never realized that they were them when they got famous and made them land in where they are now. If they never became like that, they would never be who they are right now. And Bill looks more gay at the moment than what he was before. They should better realize this or else i will come to Germany and splash out a bucket of acid on their faces. *throws off a Man Gwai fei-ish tsiieh*

here's some translation of their reden-ing on the bild vid(thanks Tokio Hotel Network)

T. On top of that I saw a picture of them. And there was that singer. The singer…

B: The singer is a complete no-go.

T: SO gay!

B: Like a girl!

T: I mean he had strands in his face with his last hair style. And make up and everything.

B: And then his palm tree hair!

T: He already looked like a girl. Completely like a woman. And now you need
to invent a new word for that, I think.

B: Fag.

T: Fag. Embarrassing. Woman. Something in between. Cant even define it, anymore. Pathetic.

B: And that weird little nut.

T: Yeah, he’s just the greatest! Definitely never fucked anyone! And if he has, maybe one or two 16 year olds. Tops. And he keeps talking about women, about being a womanizer.

B: And the other two, who never get to say anything anyway…

T: Gregor and Günther or something. They look like idiots on that picture.

B: If I’d have had the bottle, I’d have had a few more.

T: Self-overestimating morons.

T: I never liked that girl band. But they get worse every day. They outdo themselves.

B: Ugly.

T: Totally ugly. And they are so overestimated. They can’t do a singe thing and got millions for it!

B: They’re really filling up their wallets. And they’re not doing anything for it! They’re just driving around with their big ass cars! Two bg fat red Ferraris.

B: And the other idiot. What’s his name? Tom and his fag of a brother. They are so antisocial.

T: And now they have a “cool” new look.

B: Cool. They look even cooler than before. And he just looks like a fag.

T: Damn fag. You really need it…

B: It used to be somewhat okay. Now he just sucks.

T: And in other countries.

B: Yeah. In other countries. You’re sooo cool. All “international”, just shut the fuck up, already. Suckers.

T: And there you have it, again. Money changes people. The moment you have some cash, you change.

B: And the way they make themselves out!

T: And what tops is that they don’t have a stylist. They should get one, stat. The way they’re running around, that’s just…

B: Embarrassing.

T: Just imagine people waling around like that on the streets.

B: Bill. Now him I’d like to wipe him off the face of the planet, for real!

T: I’d like to spit at him. For his ugly mutt face.

B: Yeah.

T: And with make-up. As a guy. Completely painted over. Ridiculous.

Sportsfest preparations galore

Okay, i wanted to share to my blog an ordinary day in which i spent for the whole september that were far from the ordinary. For more than three weeks until October 1-2, we spent them up on practising for the upcoming sportsfest-especially we don't wanna be losers for our last school year here on Monte.
My morning in school started when T.Ana excused me and Gt from sir Manto's class for our review for the Campus Breakout. He said he was okay with it so he let us go with his blessings. Since there will be a certain accounting meeting later on the library(our usual reviewing spot) T. Ana just told us that we're going to review in the Science Lab instead. GT gave out the four small blackboards for us to write our answers in while we're reviewing. GT chose to represent Georgetown University(yesterday he was UST or aka Sir Crisan and Callalily), Twinkle-Harvard(University of the Philippines Diliman or aka T.Juvie and Eraserheads), Abby-FEU(Ateneo De Manila or aka Sir Manny and Spongecola) while i represented Cambridge University-nyeh nyeh- (DLSU Taft or aka T.Way and Hale). T.Ana asked us general info things like the medical name of earwax(Bertie Bott's cerumen flavored beans everyone?) and where Carcassone is (in France, duh). Well, Cambridge won the quiz/review game and yesterday La Salle also won in the Science review.
After reccess, GT and i went off to our classes Filipino, Math and library. In math, i kinda had "fun"(sarcastically saying) answering logarithms that makes me stun- i hope i'll be able to handle logarithms properly afterwards so i'll be able to keep my good records as well as preparation for the DLSUCET and USTET- i heard that there are lots of logarithms on the two tests. =p
At lunchtime, i went home and conducted a business in the bathroom that's nagging me off since this morning as well as eat a hearty lunch so i can have enough energy to dance until 7 in the evening.
After lunch, i went back to school a bit late for Physics class and told sir Ian(aka sir Adik, sir Lupet, sir Ah-Adik or sir Ay-lugeh-ka-ngay-ohn) that the "business" i conducted in our bathroom took long since the "clients" i had a meeting with was a bit hard to handle. After a few moments of lingering around the classroom discussing nothing but Kevin blocking off MTV on the cable TV with him running around and people betting on him for more than one bajillion dollars(the reason why i still don't see Bill on TV- he should be singing Automatic while MYX was still to busy showing off corny, mainstream music vids) , sir Cris called us off to go to "Pook Kasiyahan"-oh, what fun...*rolls eyes*- and practice there. On our way down the corridors, we passed by the third year classroom and saw some notes and books lying around the floor while T.Ana and sir Jojo stood by as Jean became melodramatic(in other words, crying) since sir Jojo confiscated her earrings. Phoebe later told us that Jean wasn't used with her things being confiscated even when she was still in SPC.
After taking a tricycle ride with Dean, Eman, Julieno, Hannah (or Abby 2.0), and Ervyn(aka Kulot) we got off at Pook Kasiyahan and shortly began our rather tiring and tedious dance practice. An hour later, sir Cris and sir Roosevelt( aka sir Greenbelt and the guy who taught us the dance steps) gave us a water break. I hastely checked the time on my watch and was bummed to know that it's 4 PM- 3 hours more to endure with the endless hard moving of muscles and sweating. But in my surprise, sir Cris dismissed us early than i expected-around 6PM.

Ah, adik... Bill's gone "adik " over Twilight

Yeah, i just read in my ever reliable Tokio Hotel source, Tokio Hotel Network, that Bill fessed up in an interview that he was obsessed with Twilight!! *gasp* NOOOOOO!!!
Putang Ina, why?
He said that people kept on telling him to watch Twilight and so he watched it on an airplane on his way to LA. Then he got hooked with it.
I forgive him for being a Twilight fan, since i never watched Twilight anyway that's why i hid my animosity over that piece of literature from everyone, but i know the plot of the story and i hate the plot from what i've imagined it to be as i read it. I like Harry Potter better because it's more enlightening and wonderful. The kind of fantasy in Harry Potter is had more light heartedness than in Twilight, Twilight is just passion and a bit of mysterious darkness, doesn't have much humor than HP has. In Twilight, they just deal with teenage love while Harry Potter deals with not only love but family, friends and justice.
Who knows if i got the chance to watch it, i might as well like it(the movie), those changes in the plot is quite inevitable in every adapted films, who knows it will suit my taste- like Repertory Philippines' Jack in the Benastalk(i once thought that Jack and the beanstalk would be very boring but i was wrong- it entertained me very much in every scene no matter how very childish the play was). I just hate Twilight coz of the plot and the rabid, immature fans who kept on fainting everytime someone mention Edward Cullen's name and they kept on comparing Twilight, a very Mary Sue-ish story to Harry Potter, a very brilliant and heartwarming story. Im very sure that the moment Mimi Niggel hears this one, she will go on and make a "fiesta" out of it. She might even write that her Heather was on the plane with Bill and she's the one who made him watch Twilight.
And why did he told this thing just a week before i take my ACET? I might lose some concentration when ACET day comes on september 20. Boooooo!!! Does that means he doesn't want me to study in Ateneo? at least he doesn't have a girlfriend now that will keep myself insane for months, or else my chances of passing Ateneo, De Lasalle and Ust will be affected. AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF BILL!!!
His Twilight/HP loving cousin Audrie might have something to do with this. tsk, tsk...
Why didn't she influence Bill with Harry Potter instead? Sigh, oh well.

Whatever, Bill...

I heard from my ever reliable TH news bearer Tokio Hotel Network that TH had an article from a Finnish(we are the moomins...) magazine that most of the guys want girlfriends.
Who am i to stop them(especially Bill) from dreaming of sweet tasting love? Im just a fan of theirs anyway. But if i were to give them-particularly Bill, since he's the one who always throws a bongang-bongang SONA about wanting a george foreman- a piece of advice, i would tell them a philosophy i've known for a long time. I would tell them that no one completes them but themselves since they were the only ones who knows themselves perfectly. They do not need a girl to be the happiest that they can be. Friends, career, family and partners can compliment them but they can't make them reach the skies on being happy.

I know, it kinda sucks not having someone to hug, kiss, open and love to especially in their case. The often complain always about being alone. I myself really hate being alone for a very long time. And they have been alone for a very long time themselves- since the last century? For years, their yearning for love grew as time evaporates like water vapor. Their hunger eventually grew big that they became unhappy with their life.
Like what Buddha realized about unhappiness, the people themselves were the ones who make them unhappy, not some calamity, circumstances or other else's fault. They do this by always wanting something in vain since they thought that this alone could make them happy. They do not understand that they can be peaceful and happy if they thought on things that could bring goodness instead. All they need is treasure the little things they have now, seek happiness inside them and eventually they'll be happy.

Also, they never realized that living a life with their future girlfriends could give them major headaches. Being the super rockstars with a lot of beautiful and sexier girl fans lusting over them, there's a great risk that there will be a point when they'll feel jealous and will never trust them or if the girl just uses them for fame and they also cheats on them. These days, it's hard to trust someone even if you know the person very well.

Im not trying to sound selfish, a fan with a head high above the clouds or a loner fucked up with being alone, but yeah i just said what i just wanted to say about their matter. I know even that i wrote this on my blog, i could not change what they want completely. It's just up to them on how they wanted to live their lives and i would be ready to hear what their judgement would eventually leads them. Maybe if Bill had a girlfriend, you would see me next clad in head to toe black, with teary, bloodshot eyes, reeking bottles of Heineken, Vodka, Calpis Water, San Pelegrino water and San Miguel with my Chinese uncle in a British pub near the old Kai Tak in Kowloon City while i hear breaking news on MTV China from the pub's TV that Bill was complaining about the headache he had for having a girlfriend. haha!!!

What if Bill got a gf?

Yesterday, i was checking out tokio hotel network to get updated about tokio hotel when i found out that Georg Listing(their bassist who share the same age as sir Ian-ah, adik) had a girlfriend, but the gf did not want to become famous that's why she is unknown to everyone else.
Well, im so happy for Georg and i think that girl's lucky to have found a nice guy like Georg.
Then, a nagging thought came to me. What if the time comes when Bill would have to get a ... *gasp, faint* girlfriend??
Well, i don't know if ever im gonna be glad about it or not. Just depends whoever that girlfriend was. It would be okay if the girl shares some great same interests with him, adorable, is a bit boyish, smart, down to earth, had a mature mind and a bit younger than him(some months to five?)... like a younger Nena, Maggie Cheung Ho-Yee in Old Time Buddy(aww, c'mon she looks like Bill's mum there, and she's really funny and adorable!!) or a Demi Lovato without cleft chin and the huge, toothy smile.
But it wouldn't be okay with me(will take long to accept) if the girl was the kind of girl who would always wear Jimmy Choo high heels and YSL/Louis Vuitton/ Gucci/ Miu Miu dress every single day- even on bed-, roll around in Givenchy catwalks, is willing to give Bill a headache and is very tempestuous, like *cough* Heather Chase* cough*... or my fan fic character Aslana Gecim.
If what Bill got was the latter, i think i would...
1. CRY. Cry. Cry. Okay, i think im gonna cry. Cry in my bed, cry in my Harry Potter doll, cry in the bathroom, cry on top of the Eiffel Tower, cry on GT's shoulders. Just let all those hard feelings and flaming jealousy out!!! At least there is no longer an Audrie Kaltiz in this world to tell Bill that her "sweet Connie Chan Po Chu-like" Hong Kongian best friend is sobbing and cursing madly about him in Cantonese while in the middle of him and his gf doing something intimate.
2. the next day, wear head to toe black for a week(even on my stardoll medoll). Okay, gonna mourn about Bill's being single being gone away and him facing all the problems he have to face with his girlfriend. A simple statement to show everyone that im "crushed" like a plastic cup.
3. Expose to Harry Potter and Hong Kongian stuffs. To divert myself, duh?
At least, being exposed to those reminds me of what Bill think so far about moi- a sweet, English speaking Chinese Potterista from Hong Kong who's a big fan of his. im just a tito John Li, Lily Wong, Suzy Wong, Rocky Wong, Shirley Wong, Faye Wong, Lau Gam, William Hung, Man Gwai Fei, Wong Sheung, Wong Yee, Hawick Lau, Kam Yat, Kam Yuet, Kam Nin, Yau Nim Chi, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Kam Sa Sa, 11th brother, Michelle Hung Bak Lam, Linda Chung, Bruce Lee, Donald Tsang, mga patay sa Tseung Kwan O, Katie Leung, Jessica Hsuan, Tung Chee Hwa, Gallen Lo, Francis Ng, Edison Chen in his life.
4. Drink Heineken- To divert yourself more, duh?
It's best if i cry on my (Heineken) loving uncle(you know who)'s shoulders. And then after that, challenge him to a Heineken drinking competition. Wash out all my good, dirty thoughts about Bill with Heineken and some good 'fessing to a priest.
5. Get your guitar back- okay, there is no one who'll make me get conscious with my hands anymore(since Bill's too occupied with his chick's hands) so there, go grab a guitar and build up my guitar skills back as well as those callouses two years worth to make it up.
In no time, i will get over it and still be a Tokio Hotel fan(unless their music changed to bad that i won't like it anymore).

Some stardollar saving tips for Superstars (and other tips as well)

Have you been short on stardollars lately? Seen a new collection of LE on sale on starplaza but couldn't afford one since your money is just.... *hides* 1 stardollar? Fret not, for i am happy to share some tips on saving money in stardoll (as well as apply what i've learned from my Economics classes). -yeehee!!!

1. Make a "shopping list"
when you become superstar, browse around on the starplaza, minishop as well as the magazine of stardoll(to check out upcoming clothes that you might like). Then open up another tab and go again to stardoll. Then list out all the clothes and things you want in the starblog. Then allot how much you would spend a day on buying things for how long you're gonna be a superstar. First, priotize the rarer ones, sales as well as the ones that were about to be kicked out from the starplaza real soon. Like i made one that will last me for a month and the budget for all those were around less than 150 stardollars- including some DKNYs that were on starplaza.

example of a shopping list-shortened version-:
(1 month superstar with 250 stardollars)
examples of prices on the things listed that were for example on sale in the starplaza
Faith Hill dress- 15 SD Hot Buys flats- 5 SD
Magic books- 3 SD Inspired by Karin Feller necklace- 5SD
Idoru tshirt- 6 SD Dot white eyeshadow- 5 SD
Heidi Klum necklace- 8 SD Lady Gaga bag- 5 SD
Maggie Cheung dress- 8 SD DKNY bag- 12

day 1 - Faith Hill dress (15-5=10)<--- the one on the parenthesis is your expected spenditure
2 - make up table+ Idoru tshirt (8+6= 14-5=9)
3 - magic books+ hot buys flats+ Maggie Cheung dress (3+5+8=16-5=11)
4- Lady Gaga bag+Inspired by Karin Feller necklace (5+5= 10-5=5)
5- Dot white eyeshadow+ DKNY bag+ Heidi Klum necklace (5+12+8= 25-5=20)
etc...

tip: It's also a bonus if you play play-for-stardollars games that gives you 5 stardollars to spend on for the day. It saves you 5 stardollars from your spenditures. Also, writing or even reading your starblog helps increase starpoints.

Why make a shopping list?
Like in everyday life, having a shopping list helps you out economically since it makes you focus more on what you really need(but in the case of stardoll-wants) than having without since without a shopping list, it might tempt you to buy things that will either mismatch with your clothes or furnitures on the house or something that will end up not being worn for a long time and won't be bought hotly by starbazaar raiders after it phases out on the starplaza.

2. play everyday on Play and Earn games. Something really good- Math challenge. not only it helps you get stardollars but also it helps you in school by enriching your math skills
or if you are really a math whiz or just hate math, try out the Globetrotter game especially if you want to be aquianted with the countries in the world and where Turkmenistan is.

3. Invest on good stardoll stuffs that could potentally be a rare in the future. If you are a superstar, buy some DKNY that you can afford or some good looking voile dress that you could use in the long term, get tired of wearing it someday that you decided to sell it for a high price because of it's demand. The more supplies/wares/awesome stardoll stuffs you had, the higher the price should be. But when the demand is really... demanding, lower it up a little bit to bust out competition with other superstars selling it. Just make the deducted stardollars up by selling a not so rare dress with the price you deducted. That kind of strategies were called in economics "Law of supply" and "law of demand". The former meaning if the supply is plenty, the producers should put up a high price so that more money will come. Then the latter means that if the demand is high, the lower the price should it become so that more customers could think of buying from you than the others since it would save them more money.

4. Join competitions- especially those competitions made by stardoll. Make a very beautiful scenery, paperdoll album, a very nice suite or medoll. Also join those themed competitions by stardoll like the ones in the stardoll magazine.

5. Be wary of cheats- especially those "free 1,000,000 stardollars, free rare, free mka, free dkny" offers. Who knows those were attempts on hacking you. If you fall into their trap, you might lose than gain. Quite ironic?

Tokio Hotel fan for 2 years

Last August 17, 2009 was Tokio Hotel day for me. Well, i kinda did nothing to celebrate it but listen to more TH songs and hope for the best for them, especially that their new album will be released around october.
Never did i expect that Tokio Hotel would be the band who would cheer me up, brighten my days, listen, understand my problems, teach me about other cultures(like Germany and ...Hong Kong, indirectly) and i think all the Tokio Hotel songs i love to hear since i became their fan will become part of my poignant but wonderful "Highschool soundtrack", particularly "Monsoon".
Before, i saw an old paperdoll in stardoll called "Tokio Hotel"- it has a lesbian looking chick for a preview who turns out to be the 15 year old Bill. I once thought Bill was a girl and i would turn my head away in disgust everytime i would see that paperdoll preview and mutter "yuuuuk... Babaeng ewan. Ayokong maging tulad niya..." (Yuuuuk... a crazy looking biatch. I don't want to look like her). Something really ironic. ;-)
It was a stormy day when i first heard their music, i was still depressed about the loss of Keith Coral as a best friend as well as his harsh and painful treatment for a year. Naturally, i would look for a divertion to get over it. Then i heard monsoon after looking for Bill Kaulitz on the internet. I first heard about Bill two or more weeks prior i first heard the songs of TH. He was a new paperdoll on stardoll and i was randomly playing with paperdolls back then when i stumbled upon this then shiny, new "Mike Shinoda-like, Japanese anime wannabe 20 something year old dude who looks like he came from Los Angeles". When i saw his style, i was surprised that it was really perfect. Like it's also my same kind of style- rockerish but not too dark. During that time, i was a big Gerard Way fan and the only cool style that im seeing were stark black and blood red outfits that signifies death, blood and depression. After two years of being a fan of that kind of style, i became numb (sings "... i become so nuuuumb!!!") but the kind of style i like, i considered it my own since i never seen anyone who is a rocker but still wears not so dark and exaggerated.
Yeah, i was so enchanted with him that i found myself coming back to his doll and dress him up at around 5 times a day. I think he was the doll that shouts out my kind of style and he let me get my creativity out and express the style i really like. Soon, he became my fashion icon. One day, i became curious about his life and who he is. I googled him and found that he was the vocalist of Tokio Hotel(much to my shock, after recalling what i said about that "Babaeng ewan" who turns out to be him) and he was a German and those sorts of stuffs about him. One day, after i fall for him deeper, i came up with the decision to listen to their songs. I never expect that i would like their music very, very much but i ended up belting out "Monsoon", "Durch den monsun", "Scream" or "Love is dead" in the shower every morning.
A few months after i fell in love with their music, my classmates used my then shiny, new ipod gen 3 nanowith lots of Tokio Hotel songs and vids. To my surprise, they all ended up loving Bill's hairstyle and suddenly belt out "Monsoon" during math classes, biology classes or reccess time.
Then the rest is history.
I just wish Tokio Hotel would still be strong and make good music. I hope they'll stay as sweet and wonderful as they were but their success, i hope they'll meet it very greatly that i'll be able to see them one of these days on the MTV gimme five or MYX daily top ten on the number 1 spot.

A tale of someone being hacked on stardoll....

Last friday, the nightmare that i have been fearing would probably happen to me on stardoll came true. Someone promised me 600 stardollars and some bunch of stupid DKNYs and MKAs to change my email. I thought that was a glitch so i changed my email. Then an hour late came a girl called crazy___in___love changed my password and nicked out almost half of my valuables. Thank God, i have another superstar account that i quickly opened it in another browser and managed to salvage some DKNYs, hotbuys and all my clothes and stuff in my account. After clearing out everything, i bid goodbye to my two year old account and logged out.
That account of mine was miss_galilei... I feel a lot of remorse and regret for falling unto this trap because of my stupidity and curiousity. I don't think i'll be able to get my account back nor my clothes that bitch stole from me. But that's okay, i forgive her since she let me felt some kind of justification with what badness stardoll made me get as a superstar. At least, i managed to salvage half of my things from my miss_galilei account and transer it to my other account.
She's the karma i got for not studying very well for the UPCAT and she may be the one who will make me focus more for a degree in business management in Ateneo, accountancy in Lasalle or a accountancy or advertising in UST.
But im here to tell the tale and warn those girls from stardoll to be wary about glitches and stuffs especially if you're a superstar. It's not true you'll get DKNY, MKA or some rare for free. It's better to pay $60 for one rare than do some devious cheat in the hopes of getting it for free and in the end, get hacked.

Auf Wiedersehen Audrina

Good bye, Audrina Kaltiz.
Whom i considered one of my greatest internet friends ever.
The reason why Bill thinks people from Hong Kong are sweet, helpful and friendly. (well each and everyone of those Hong Kongers i meet were like that)
Whom i considered a last minute savior to me when i was about to throw Tokio Hotel off my life after suffering from a devastating heartbreak that costs me not to spend time with my sister abroad anymore.

She was a really great friend. I met her last year, it was independence day. A day before was my first day of school. After i went home from school, i sobbed silently in my room because i recalled what a girl called tokiohotelmistress told about Bill. devastating lies that if all of them are true, it would be something horrible and frightening to face as a loyal and die hard Tokio Hotel fan- being stabbed in the back and at the same time making a big fool of you by those guys especially Bill and Tom. I swear, you would rather throw yourself off on top of 2 IFC( anyway Bill will never tell you "Spring Nicht" coz he thinks you're a fool so just jump off!!!), get drowned in Victoria Harbour(and eventually get rescued by Yau Nim Chi-lol) or get yourself ran over by a high-speed Tung Chung line MTR train instead of facing the fact Bill and/or Tom is/are laughing at you behind your back for being so naive- thinking he's innocent and all that- if you were a tokio hotel fan believing all her conniving and convincing lies.

Then morning came and i was excited to go back to school(to divert myself from Bill) but i decided to surf the internet first-since i had enough time to do so. I went to Potterforums coz i thought it would be the best place for me to divert Tokio Hotel. As usual i always visit the Introduction section where i spam... *ahem*.... say some "Welcome to the forums mate..." to pf noobs. I was surprised to see another girl in the Potterforums who likes Tokio Hotel, i told her i was glad to have a fellow TH fan on the forums and then she said that she was ... Bill's cousin.
Then it blossomed a very wonderful and nice online friendship until recently, she stopped talking to me. In fact, she just disappeared on the face of the earth, just like that.

Why am i bidding her goodbye?

Coz im so tired of waiting for her, she's been long enough absent and it's making me sick. three months!!! I think she's dead already. If so R.I.P like Corazon Aquino.
I don't want to wait for her. That i will hope and expect each and everyday of all the days the Lord has made checking my yahoo mail and waiting for that myspace notification that Audrie had replied to my message. I don't want to be disappointed anymore. I don't care if she was really my crush's cousin or not.

Good Bye Audrina Kaltiz!!!

Some weird Potterforums post by me

A while ago, my tedious UPCAT induced sufferings had ended and i allowed myself to go back to PF- where i can talk to friends and share some good stories.
Recently, there's been a lot of things happening when i was gone for weeks. Like Alastor Moody came back from the dead, there's a new random club(that got some of my posts from the previous random club deleted.), GinnyX and the dark mark became admins(yay!!) and the most wonderful of them all is that hinayupak-na-kanong-salot-sa-lipunan-na-anak-ng-tinapa Michael Masscre is GONE!!! Yeah, Halleluyah, Praise the Lord!!! *raises her arms*
Buti nga wala nang mag gugulo ng mga tokio hotel at kung ano ano pang mga artists na kinonsider nyang "they don't sing". Ah okay, eh di tulad na din si Bill ni William Hung("mga kababayan ko...."-opps, wrong song). -lol

Speaking of Potterforums and William Hung's place, as i was browsing PF, i saw a very old post of mine that was posted last march 23,2009- some days before i went to Hong Kong with dad- and i discovered a very silly to-do list of mine that i was planning to do when im in Asia's world city... (and of course, i wasn't really planning to do some of them)

Things to do in Hong Kong:

- get a very nice haircut in Tsimshatsui
- try out all the clothes on Lane Crawford
- wander around on the runways of Kai Tak... i mean Chek Lap Kok Airport
- rob the Bank of China tower in Admiralty with your dad
- try out shaolin soccer with a couple of friends
- buy an expensive Ed Hardy wallet from a night market
- interview Jackie Chan's wax statue on Madame Tussauds'
- forecast the weather there...
- Go crazy everytime you see the symphony of lights (" RUUUN!! IT'S THE SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS!!!!")
- Give Bill Kaulitz a bad look every time someone talked to you in Cantonese.
- If you see Mickey Mouse, ask your companion if he got a mouse paper to stick on Mickey Mouse's face
- When you're in the Peak, shout "OMG... I CAN SEE THE WHOLE WORLD FROM UP HERE!!! IM THE KING/QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!!!"
- handcuff someone random there and tell him that he's a wanted man in (your country) for plundering the wealth of (your country) and there's a (your currency)1,000,000,000,000 reward for his capture.
- kick Troy Bolton's ass on HSM: Live! in Hong Kong Disneyland (Disneyland is an inevitable itininary if you're going to Hong Kong especially that you're going on a package tour. at least i get to kick Troy's ass there-lol)
- make a news report of a usual and boring thing happening there.
- go demon hunting in the New Territories
- pretend you're a Hong Kong tour guide to unsuspecting tourists and bring them as far as Beijing, China without making them aware they are no longer in Hong Kong.
- try to measure the whole Tsing-Ma bridge with your arms stretched.
- attempt to kidnap the Chief Executive of Hong Kong- His Highniness Sir Donald Tsang.
- when you're in Mong Kok, look for Smexydoll's brothers and sisters who are all locked up and are on sale by Chinese salespeople.
- Mourn over Bruce Li's tomb



And oh, i've just heard from the news that former president Corazon Aquino just died at 3 AM this dawn. My heartfelt prayers are for her soul and her family. I know it's hard to lose someone from cancer, also she made history.

One rather monotonous day....

Okay, this day could be deemed as the most physically and mentally tiring day in 2009 since a while ago i did a lot of tiring things.

I went to school early and instead of wearing my usual gala uniform, i was wearing my PE uniform, i bought an extra tshirt and a bottle of water because sir Cris announced that all third years and fourth years will be running around in the Sampaloc Lake- which we did once last year.
My morning was the mentally hard part since most of the classes that took place at that time, the teachers threw out quizzes and things to answer, not much lecture but yeah- more quizzes.
In between those times, the recess and lunch, i spend most of my spare time asking and nagging my groupmates in the cooking contest for tomorrow about monetary means and important things we have to do for today and bring for tomorrow. During those times, we decided two of the most crucial decisions we made for tomorrow- Jonathan's mum will be cooking the pork ribs first in their house and then the people who will be doing the shopping in Puregold- Me, Asrie and Jonathan out of Twinkle, Marlon, Camille and Paolo.
Then afternoon came and Sir Cris called us all and we went to Sampaloc Lake. Well yeah, we all ran and it was really tiring but fun. I remember walking around when i got so tired and just enjoy the view of the lake, the lush greenery as well as the fresh air that you can blissfully breathe.
I happily reached the finish line as I was one of the first to reach it among my friends. Sadly, it went down to 3 minutes compared to my last year's record, even though i lagged from behind my peeps last year!! (Mine's 43 minutes this year while last year was 40)
After beautifying myself after we went back to school, Jonathan asked that Asriel and I will meet him in Puregold instead since he'll go home first to get some money, so Asriel and i agreed to go ahead to Puregold and along the way, we managed to get some schoolmates like Phoebe, Anthony, Jean (Valjean) and Dave to join us in Puregold so they'll b able to do their own shopping as well.
When we got there, Jonathan was not yet inside so Asriel and i decided to shop for some food until Jonathan came and we'l be able to buy those pork ribs. It was hard looking for the best bargain and exact kind of ingredients. Our legs and feet are dying from walking too much. Some ten minutes later, Jonathan finally came and we're almost finished with shopping for goods. After picking up a good lemon, garlic powder and oil, we went to the Monterey stall and we looked for some ribs that costs us around PHP 500.
After purchasing all those, we decided to part ways(with Jonathan carrying the pork ribs) and i hopped into a tricycle alone since Asriel wasn't going home yet. It was the first time ever that i used public transport here in the Philippines on my own. Well, i was afraid since anything bad could happen and what if yaya saw me on the tricycle riding alone??
Thank goodness, the tricycle went to the back route instead in the usual main gate so i thought of dropping off in the back gate of Montessori (the one gate that is nearest to Canossa) and then walk a little to reach the main gate.
When i arrived at the main gate, i saw yaya waiting for me and we went home. Shortly after i went home, someone suddenly called and it was Jonathan. He told me that the ribs we bought were not good enough for our cooking so we should get it back to Puregold but the problem is, the receipt was with me and i can't go back to Puregold. So i told yaya to go to puregold but she refused. After much shouting and snapping, she reluctantly accepts. after some 30 minutes she got back and gave the receipt to Jonathan. Whew... what a day. I feel so tired anyway, plus i have to study for the UPCAT later since this saturday morning will be my UPCAT and sadly, i will be the first among my classmates who will be taking the exams.

And then, all of the H&M Fashion Against AIDS clothes in Hong Kong are sold out, according to tita Cherry(since i asked her to buy me one and i'll pay her back in return). Must be because of those senglots, tourists, the growing number of Hong Kongian Tokio Hotel fans- including me according to Bill- or them all. Tita Cherry also agreed that Tokio Hotel's tshirt is one mighty shirt.
