Welcome to the world of a sixteen year old frustrated blogger and incoming freshie who spends most of her time lost in the world of fictional books or mindlessly surfing the net. Someday she will travel the world with her family and best friends but right now she’s stuck in her teenage years as a self-proclaimed nerd and self- taught guitar player with a decent singing voice. She hopes to take better pictures and give this blog a more personal touch.

Having so many Kane Chronicles related feels

I basically feel like this inside right now 

This pretty much happens every time I finish a Rick Riordan book =))

I did not sign up for this.

So today I checked my Facebook profile like I always do and I see this.

the new Timeline irritates me. I think it looks messy as opposed to the old wall. Now, I have to look for a decent cover photo and all that shit.

My slot has been confirmed!
All my batchmates are pretty much busy with submitting their college requirements, confirming slots, enlisting, all that pre-college preparation. I also have to get a few things done myself such as the medical stuff that UP requires. I just really can’t believe that it has almost been a week since I left high school and in a few months I’m off to college.
College pretty much scares me right now. I don’t know what kind of people I’m going to meet or what kind of professors I’ll have. A lot of adults have been telling me that I need to be a strong person since I will encounter people with different beliefs, political views, etc.
I really really hope I make it through the next four years without failing.

MAYA.

While making my own bill I actually learned a lot our former National bird.

These little birds that we see everywhere (like on electrical wires) are actually not the national birds. These birds are actually the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. It’s still locally called Maya but its not the only one.

This is what the real former national bird looks like. Cool huh? locals call it maya pula (I read that one on the ‘net, but I have never heard anyone use this term)

the Maya was the National Bird of the Philippines until 1995 when the government decided that the Monkey eating eagle should be our National Bird

Well that clears things up for me, at least I won’t call those little birds that sometimes land on the ledge as Mayas anymore :))

I am tired

  • I am tired of all these researches because we have to do them all at the same time to the point really that my brain is tired of making introductions/methodologies/etc. 
  • I am tired of group works that give me the greatest amount of stress because I don’t meet eye to eye with my groupmates, I really can be bossy, demanding and all that sh*t but I’m just doing it for  the sake of submitting a quality work on time so please bear with me
  • I am tired of being irresponsible. One of my greatest pet peeves is submitting late requirements. Like  just 10 minutes ago I ended up crying over my late research draft. Mababaw, I know, but I just can’t help it.
  • I am tired of going to school everyday hoping to meet everyone’s expectations. I need some me time and I need to learn how to stop thinking about making other people happy.
  • I am tired of hearing my parents tell me that I should stop doing “individual” group works (if you guys know what I mean)
  • I am tired of failing my Trigonometry quizzes but really I don’t know how to bring them up
  • I am tired but I will not give up.

The first month of the year has been incredible for me. A lot of great things have happened and I’m really happy about how this month went for me.

  • My biggest achievement for the month was passing the Big 4 universities! I never expected passing ADMU and UP, I was even teary-eyed when I found out I passed! I’m glad that I made a lot of people proud of me, especially my parents. Now its just a matter of picking the right school for me.
  • Intrams went great this year because, aside from spending time with my lovely classmates and friends, my partner and I emerged as champions for the badminton doubles! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I CAN ATHLETIC IF I WANT TO (well, maybe)
  • I got to watch Mamma Mia last week! and it was amazing! I really enjoyed singing along with the songs plus the whole production was fantastic! the cast, the set, the costumes, EVERYTHING!
  • Despite the heavy school work, I am trying my best to savor my last weeks as a Theresian because I know I’ll be missing everything when I graduate.

I do hope February will be just as great as January ;)

56 days to go

It’s kinda hard to enjoy your last few weeks in High School when aside from the already difficult lessons, you have to deal with a bunch of unreasonable requirements and teachers.

I know its all part of the Senior life but these past days some of the things we are doing are really getting on my nerves.
